Fake temperatures

From Watts Up With That:   The chart shows how much the temperature was faked each year to report on NY Central Park weather. Looks like every number for the last hundred years was pushed down and the last half dozen left au naturel, to prove warming.   Dirty Tricks.

It's not nice being deceived but it behooves us to be defensively watchful.

Florida Judge and Candy Crowley

The Judge in the Trayvon case reminds me of Candy Crowley, the presidential debate moderator.  Both seem to be on the Democrat attack team.   Some people who pushed for the arrest and trial should suffer large public consequences.

Home-grown Islamic bombers thwarted on Canada Day. Explosive pressure cookers left at Victoria legislature.

A self-radicalized couple were arrested July 1st in Abbotsford for placing three nail-filled explosive pressure cookers by the Victoria legislature hoping to kill as many in the Canada Day crowd as possible.  They were following the Al Qaeda playbook and the example of the Boston bombers.  Although Nuttall (38) and Korody (28) converted to Islam, Nuttall's lawyer says his client wasn't associated with a specific mosque or group.  The police were watching the couple plan for five months after CSIS tipped them off and apparently witnessed the placement of the bombs.

The Al Qaeda playbook:

Al-Qaeda has released a two-part 100-minute video .... that calls for individual acts of jihad on "enemy soil," a US-based monitoring service said Friday. Among the several speakers are Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda's long-time number two to bin Laden, and American-born Adam Gadahn, who says that Muslims living in the West are "perfectly placed to play an important and decisive part in the jihad against the Zionists and Crusaders."

"We are possessed by all that is evil.
The death of your god we demand.
We spit at the virgin you worship.
And sit at Lord Satan's left hand".

Best review of Obama's Lap Dog Press. White House spying on AP woke them up.

"It was natural that the Obama administration assumed it had a right to monitor what it had bought"

 Chapter and verse,  Professor Hansen gives the best summary yet of how the press sold it's soul to the White House occupant.  When the press found the AP was being investigated because "it was natural that the Obama administration assumed it had a right to monitor what it had bought" they woke up.

Killer wind turbines turn into junk: 14000 abandoned in the US

 14,000 Abandoned Wind Turbines in the USA

They are rusting hulks and no environmentalists are willing to pay to scrap them.

They didn't earn their keep.

They killed thousands of raptors.

When wind power makes sense you need no subsidy.

Don't invest in automobiles. We've passed peak driving.

From NYT: Have we passed peak driving?  Getting your driver's licence was a rite of passage and all adults had one.     Young drivers are disappearing and even grownups in their prime sometimes skip getting a licence.  Only the old drivers are more common.   Why is that?    It's harder for young people to get good jobs and to leave school debt free.    Most people live in city cores which are getting packed tighter with services and things to do.  Even the internet plays a role.  When your fingers can do the walking in seconds to almost any topic and place on earth, what are wheels for?  

Don't tell me to invest in the automobile industry.  The worst is yet to come.
The extra money is going into smartphones and music, clothes, small consumables and survival.
