GLOBAL WARMING - "The Greatest Scam in History"

GLOBAL WARMING - "The Greatest Scam in History"

"THE GREATEST SCAM IN HISTORY"
Global Warming & The Controlled Press

If you are anywhere near a television these days it's difficult to avoid getting an earful of fear-mongering about global warming and climate change. CNN, National Public Radio, and the BBC are all acting like Chicken Little telling the entire English-speaking world that the sky is falling.

Climate change and the dire predictions that go along with it are the favorite subjects of the professional Anglo-American propagandists working on instilling maximum fear in the public.

It is important to note that these news/propaganda organizations are not simply reporting on the different points of view about a scientific theory regarding climate change – the BBC, CNN, and NPR are clearly pushing one side of the debate [i.e. the sky is falling] and are shouting their warnings of doom and gloom from the rooftops.

The BBC is a good example. The propaganda arm of the British state has been pushing global warming with a vengeance for a couple of years. With the BBC, climate change is much more than a news subject to be reported on – it is an article of their faith; the faith they want us all to follow.

On Hardtalk, for example, the BBC television's interview/debate program on November 12, 2007, Stephen John Sackur interviewed Václav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic. Sackur spent the bulk of the half hour attacking President Klaus for his skepticism of the controlled media's doctrine of global warming.


President Václav Klaus

The doctrine is that climate change is a global threat that has to be met with internationally accepted measures and directives – all dictated by the unelected elite of London, New York, and Washington. You might think that investing in energy efficient and advanced passenger rail services would be at the top of the agenda, but it's not.

Klaus, who spent much of his life under communist rule, made a very interesting comparison of the elite doctrines of communism and environmentalism. Klaus said something about Al Gore being an "apostle of arrogance."

See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programme...lk/default.stm

Sackur's was very determined to promote the global warming agenda, which is a pretty good indication of his propagandist credentials.

The BBC provides very little information about Stephen John Sackur except that he has spent much of his BBC career in Washington D.C. and the Middle East. Sackur is certainly more strident and less pleasant than the former Hardtalk host, Tim Sebastian.


Stephen John Sackur of the BBC

Sackur is a very uncommon name and is clearly not English. All the Sackurs I could find, which isn't many, immigrated to Britain or the United States from the German city of Breslau in Silesia, which is now in Poland. When asked, most of them described themselves as Hebrew.

There was a John Sackur, who served in the British Foreign Office. In a 1988 Sunday Times article, "The Philby Legacy," John Sackur is mentioned:

How this pernicious defection worried Western intelligence agencies did not begin to emerge until The Sunday Times decided to tell the [Kim] Philby story in 1967. It quickly became clear that Philby was a very sensitive plant indeed.

Lord Chalfont, at the time a Foreign Office minister, told two Sunday Times reporters 'You must stop your inquiries. There is the most monstrous danger here. You will be helping the enemy.'

When they pressed on, John Sackur, a former Foreign Office official, told them the newspaper was wasting its time because it would never be allowed to print the story. 'It'll get stopped,' he said. 'D-notices, the Queen. It goes to the highest in the land. Philby was a copper-bottomed bastard.'

Sunday Times, The (London, England)
May 15, 1988

I would suspect that this John Sackur is the father of the BBC "reporter" Stephen John Sackur. The British Foreign Office and he BBC are part of the same team, after all.

In any case, the BBC's Stephen John Sackur delivered a perfect pitch for President Klaus to hit out of the park when he told the Czech that even the Bush administration had determined that global warming was a fact.

Aren't they the same people who said that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction is what Klaus should have said, but he didn't.

But that's my point. The very same people who pushed the war in Iraq based on a big pack of lies are now telling the world that the world is getting warmer and the end is near.

These are the very same propagandists who got the world all worked up about bird flu as well. These people are professional fear mongers and should be recognized as such. Fear is the tool of dictators and tyrants and these are the people and agencies who spread it.

Why are they pushing global warming? Because it gives them and the unelected elite that they serve the power to promote their agenda – on the entire world.

It also serves as a welcome distraction from the very real disasters that they have caused in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. The illegal war and occupation that they promoted and profited from in Iraq has resulted in millions of homeless refugees in the Middle East. The current Iraqi refugee crisis is the worst humanitarian disaster since the Palestinians were displaced from Palestine in 1947-48, another crisis they caused.

The following is a comment on global warming, posted by John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel.

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

Intro by Joe D’Aleo, Icecap, CCM
I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post.

By John Coleman

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.

I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.

Could you possibly be more wrong?

What do George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, etc. all have in common? Besides being the primary pushers of Iraq having WMD's?

Could it be they all have long and strong ties to a particular industry? An industry that has openly funded disinformation about climate change. The industry that the Vice President holds locked door meetings with and refuses to disclose the details of what was discussed in those meetings.

The Bush administration that appointed a lobbiest for the American Petroleum Institute as it's chief of staff for the Council on Enviromental Quality? A non-scientist who then editted scientific reports on global warming downplaying and softening various aspects of it in regards to greenhouse gases?

The Bush administration who fought against the EPA having the mandate to regulate greenhouse gas emissions? Lead by a Bush EPA official who then left the EPA to join the law firm of Bracewell and Giuliani to lobby against enviromental restrictions on energy companies?

The Bush administration that has censored scientists associated with goverment agencies against talking publicly about various aspects of climate change?

The Bush administration which has otherwise dragged it's heels every step of the way on the issue of climate change?

Now exactly who are the same people you are talking about?

And who was the media repeating?

The guys that sold the bill of goods on Saddam having WMD's are the guys in bed with the energy industry, the guys who are saying that anthropogenic climate change is false or highly exaggerated.

Do you think that the trillion dollar energy industry has similar reasons for supporting the Bush administration's foreign policy and providing disinformation on climate change?

Don't waste your time TC. Think about who you're dealing with here. This is the same buffoon who thinks only 300,000 Jews were killed in Nazi Germany and he blames the allied powers for that.

Oh I know who I'm dealing with and having Israel/Zionist/Jew/9-11 conspirasy whack jobs like Christopher Bollyn on the anti-AGW side suits me fine.

You should go to that ICECAP site that is linked at the end of VKM's first post. Along with typical pieces of disinformation about global warming and the usual suspects in regards to climate skeptics, they come out with this priceless gem:

Too funny.

Yeah, Im' seeing this mental picture of a guy coming out of his cave with animal skins holding a thermometer up to see what temperature it is.

In fact he's nextdoor to the FedEx utilizing caveman business.

I`d love to debate reasonable explanations as to why the Global Warming is not true but there simply aren`t any. Much like debating evolution vs creation there are simply no scientific arguments to back the premise. The source of the debate is not founded in scientific fact. Even George Bush has stopped trying to throw doubt on it and I`d like to think there is no one left out there that is any dumber then him.

My son is dropping off the scientist and equiptment in Antarctica as we write, so I asked him to ask a couple of questions if he can. They should know, they are the one's doing the studies.
