The level of Soviet style criminal activity at the White House has reached spectacular new lows. On February 20, The White House sent out this E-mail announcing that they were going to start attacking individual scientists who dissented from the White House global warming agenda.
A few hours later, this E-mail was sent out to a large group of prominent skeptics. The author used a stolen identity of Harvard’s Dr. Willie Soon, and obtained the list of skeptic E-mails via hacking. The E-mail pre-announced an attack by the press on an individual scientist.
Today they sent out another E-mail using Dr. Soon’s stolen identity, pre-announcing newspaper attacks on other prominent skeptics.
This behavior by the White House, coordinated with the press corps, is straight out of the Stalin era Soviet Union.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise. The White House adopted Soviet era themes from day one.
Any time the White House starts talking about conspiracy theories, you know they are attempting to cover up something really bad they are doing.
They’re still grasping at myths and conspiracy theories, but deniers are on the run.
The White House is attempting to distract from their disastrous performance in the Middle East and elsewhere. So they are focused on imaginary problems and somehow imagining that engaging in criminal activity will alter scientific fact.
Totalitarian regimes around the planet are currently engaged in attacks on dissidents. Yesterday, Egypt sent blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah to jail for five years for being a dissident. Saudi Arabia also has dissident bloggers jailed.
This is 21st century America. We don’t do inquisitions of heretics any more. Unbelievable that this is going on in the US.

You are correct as usual. The voices crying in the wilderness of ignorance and denial will continue to support the lies and failed policies of the past and the present. I applaud your courage in continuing the fight to spread the truth.
There’s always more. Notice the last name in that ominous “Bad things coming for these boys and girls” email that Steve got: Robert Balling. Dr Balling hasn’t been out in the public eye for years, but his name on that list might give us a hint of the folks behind the 20 year smear of skeptics. Things just happened a bit slower in the old days. Witness this January 1996 hit piece against Dr Balling in the Santa Fe NM Reporter ( http://gelbspanfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SF-Reporter-Gelb-Balling-1-31-96.jpg ) just one month after the Dec 1995 Harpers Magazine article “The Heat is On” sent Ross Gelbspan onto his new path of smearing skeptic climate scientists.
Then we had Greenpeace Executive Director Phil Radford trashing Dr Balling in 2012 in this article (about halfway down http://www.statepress.com/2012/03/04/professor-accused-of-bias-in-environmental-research/ ). Now we have these current hit pieces against Dr Soon citing Kert Davies. What’s the common thread? Davies and Radford were both at the old Ozone Action enviro-activist group at the time when Ross Gelbspan and they ‘obtained’ leaked documents ( http://gelbspanfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/OA-docs-obtained-by-OA-Gelb-1024×733.jpg ) proving skeptics were supposedly paid to “reposition global warming as theory rather than fact”. That’s the line spelled out full screen in Al Gore’s movie just before the 1 hr 13 minute point. BTW, Al Gore’s longtime spokesperson Kalee Kreider said she was one of Ozone Action’s founders ( http://gelbspanfiles.com/?p=919 ). Never heard of Ozone Action? They merged into Greenpeace USA in 2000, with their main founder John Passacantando taking over as GP USA’s Executive Director. Davies went from being Ozone Action’s Science Policy Director to head Greenpeace’s ExxonSecrets web site.
Dredge through this entire pile of skeptic accusers, and you see it’s all just one happy small little family.
Don’t mess with the state religion(s).
The Alarmist Inquisition has begun.
Now we know what those super fast trains were for !
Yes, all I can say is take you best shot, White House – you are going to get nowhere.
As predicted 2 days ago. Hahaha
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/feb/24/ipcc-chair-rajendra-pachauri-resigns
Pachauri thanked the thousands of scientists who had worked for free on the IPCC’s reports and made an “unmatched contribution to global society.” He added: “I will continue to [work on climate change] assiduously throughout my life in what ever capacity I work. For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than my mission, it is my religion.” Kinda says it all. Note he emphasized “worked for free”.
This will end up backfiring considering is was -25F (!) this morning where I live and it’s nearly March!
Oh come on! Everybody knows that when it gets warmer it gets colder. Do catch up 😉
The first mate told me that with a straight face. I said, “Really?”
Then global cooling would cause it to get warmer, right?
A little backfire might help warm things up
Thank you, Steven, for recognizing the similarities between Stalin and Obama and thank you, Obama, for being such a transparent follower of Stalin.
The Egyptian policy jailing dissidents may explain why some factions of the Muslim faith are becoming so violent.
Conclusion: The AGW debate is over. AGW promoters lost the debate, despite financial backing by world leaders, united to support their delusion of control of the world.
They are more dangerous now, out-of-contact with Reality, and may even
1. Incite racial or religious wars
2. Try to shut down the internet
3. Start a “false flag” nuclear war
I’m afraid you may be right on all accounts.
Fascists never give up power willingly
Why isn’t he being impeached?
A) He’s a democrat
B) He’s not white
C) All of the above
Fairly accurate. I would add a D) lack of cojones.
How about: D) The leading Republicans are actually Democrat-lite
e. Joe Biden was selected as impeachment insurance by the “handlers”.
Everyone in DC is afraid of George Soros?
Everyone in DC has things to hide and are well aware that Obama & Co know all these inconvenient secrets.
No, it’s not unbelievable this is going on in the USA. Obama has been relentlessly attacking freedom of speech and all the other freedoms since the beginning. Anyone who cared to look knew this was coming. The fact that he got re-elected was America asking for it. Now he’s delivering. My only wonder is what took the creep so long.
“There is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there’s a laziness in me,”
-Barack Hussein Obama
He now has nothing to lose, but the support necessary to become SG of the UN; and he certainly won’t find that among the American people
Looks like Judith Curry is going to be attacked next. We must stand up for her.
Why? She never stood up for the real skeptics …
She walked a tightrope.
In attacking Dr. Soon, green journalists display a quite stunning world view. Behind their writings you can see their logic:
Climate scientists are paid to publish results supporting Global Warming.
Dr. Soon’s results don’t support Global Warming.
QED Dr. Soon is paid by those against Global Warming.
Seeing all the fame and fortune going to true believers, they can not imagine a scientist motivated by his own integrity. After all, in their view, all published results are bought and paid for.
Green journalists attacking Dr. Soon reveal their operating assumption: Climate science is totally corrupt. . .well, 97% corrupt.
WTF – Roger Pielke Jr, not a skeptic, has just said that apparently he is going to be “investigated”.
Under the new paradigm, simple lack of enthusiasm is the same as scepticism.
Rejoice and Learn:
By giving Nobel Prizes to Al Gore and the UN’s IPCC, we learned motives of the Nobel Prize Committee.
By investigating skeptics of the AGW fable, we learned motives of Obama, the NAS, and the UN’s IPCC.
If NAS and the UN had been true to their charters, both would have objected to the politicalization of science.
You left off Obama’s prize for doing nothing more than showing up

Soviet style behavior by the White House
His handlers, legal team(s), supporters, judges, the dems, and those who practiced acquiescence (like the Christian Coalition and other so-called conservatives…) during the last two elections should get some of the credit for our slide towards Communism eh?
It is impossible to know if the “Old Man” (2008), Mitt Romney (2012), or their cabinets would be allowing this to happen to our own citizens and what is happening to Christians abroad, but one thing is proven, it is happening now.
There are (and have been) a lot of “private vs govt.” battles raging in America (in the courts and places like Nevada); they have my admiration as does this blog. The young people have so-much more liberty to loose than those of us who have the majority of our “fun in the sun” behind us; sad.
I hope we keep track and go after them all if this presidency ever ends and the rule of law is restored.
Salute
I am convinced that the Laughingstock-in-Chief owes his 2nd term to the corruption at the IRS. The IRS effectively silenced the opposition by delaying approval of all conservative Political Action Committees(words like freedom, liberty, constitution were red flags).
The media commented that the Taxed Enough Already (Tea-party) was a no-show in the 2012 elections. What they didn’t report was the Democratic political machine had muzzled them via the IRS declining to approve the PACs in opposition to the Liar-in-Chief.
So, personally, I give the IRS the majority credit for the Liar-in-Chief’s 2nd term. The republican party gets an honorable mention for fielding candidates that had little chance of unseating the Laughingstock-in-Chief.
The Banana trees on the White-house lawn will need replaced. Like everything else, Obama’s promise of global warming appears to have no resemblance to the truth.
IMO he owed his 2nd term to the establishment press, blacks, liberals, progressives, new Mexican immigrants, college kids, and probably as much as any of the above, those that are sucking from the government teats. Of course the Republicans putting of a less than motivating Candidate also helped.
Do not forget the dead who voted many many times and other voter fraud.
It’s official: Obama voter fraud reason for “reelection”/growing totalitarian government
Aint our press wonderful? Investigate and attack skeptic scientist but stay mum about the greatest voter fraud Evah!
It’s not so much sucking from the government as a power base of those who reject a moral, sober, and self-responsible America.
The New fascist Gleichschaltung (SEE Wikipedia for more about this Nazi totalitarian concept) has now comes to science – or is finally exposed as coming from King Obama’s minions to steer his Dick Sucking media.
Seriously, do not take this crap lightly. The week after this came out letters to the editor started showing up denouncing skeptics in local newspapers in our area. The young radicals associated with environmental left should be considered a threat. Canada RCMP takes it serious. Sad
What is worse is the powers behind these brainless young people will stand back and watch them get shot or go to jail and then use them for martrys for the ‘Cause’. These S.O.B.s have the morals of the ebola virus.
I really like the way Putin handled Greenpeace.
You’re being pretty hard on a virus that cannot HAVE morals aren’t you? *grin*
Reblogged this on Power To The People and commented:
Powerful forces within western elites led by Obama have been pushing the AGW myth for decades, and have invested huge amounts of time & money trying to convince the world of their alarmist theories. However, the #Climategate revelations and as their doomsday Climate forecasts failed to materialize, they have lost significant credibility. Thus they resort to smearing anyone who dares to challenge their disproven by reality dooms day Climate Theories. Public opinion polls clearly substantiate that the alarmists continue to lose momentum as public interest and more pressing issue arise like Radical Islamic Terrorism and the observation solar panels don’t work under two feet of snow. Best not to freeze to death paying tax payer subsidies to useless solar and wind. Given all of this desperation by the alarmists their only recourse is the shabby treatment of prominent climate scientists who dare to expose their lies. Despicable they are.
You said it well.
Big Brother is thrashing like any other drowning person.
It doesn’t matter now. Big Brother is going down!
Huh! Big brother is the whale, You are but the plankton!

Judith Curry and Roger Pielke are only mildly skeptical. As I see it Curry is a sensible scientist. But I am surprised she has survived this long, after they got rid of Murray Salby.
Well, Judith Curry is now on the firing line. She still doesn’t understand the danger she is in.
As someone who has been attacked repeatedly in the past by these gangsters, I assure everyone here, they will try to eliminate her online by getting her censored.
I agree. As I mentioned in my other post, Murray Salby got silenced after he started presenting compelling evidence about CO2 that did not fit the climate change paradigm. Pielke will be silenced as well. We live in strange times as far as the scientific establishment is concerned.
Our Founding Fathers knew enough to fear totalitarian rule as to set up a system of government where there would be checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. But we now have such gross corruption amongst all of them that we effectively have totalitarian rule in place. If net neutrality changes become a reality, expect that corruptive influence to deem websites like this one to be a threat to democracy and be shut down.
We are living George Orwell’s “1984” right now. WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!
Yes. Basic foundations of science were altered right after WWII ended, with Stalin
1. Having captured Japan’s atomic bomb plant at Konan, Korea in AUG 1945
2. Holding the crew of an American B-29 for negotiations in AUG-SEPT 1945
3. Establishing the United Nations to insure worldwide peace on 24 OCT 1945

They needed an unlimited money supply to corrupt the system.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921 and leader of the Progressive Movement. A Southerner with a PhD in political science, he served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910. He was Governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913, and led his Democratic Party to win control of both the White House and Congress in 1912.
Wilson induced a Democratic Congress to pass a progressive legislative agenda, unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933.[1] This included the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an and a small income tax. Wilson also averted a railroad strike and an ensuing economic crisis through passage of the Adamson Act, imposing an 8-hour workday for railroads.

Ivan Frishberg is campaign manager for Organizing for Action On Climate Change an Obama-Allied Group and has Enters The Climate Wars (Huffington Post)
Isn’t it nice to have a really great example of Obama’s dirty politics right out there and in your face?
I’m not a scientist, but I aspire to be attacked by the press. So, let me say the following things. Global warming has no scientific fact to back up their theory. Here are some examples.
“Greenhouse Gas” is an oxymoron. Greenhouses allow radiation and inhibit convection. Any gas that inhibits convection is by definition, not a gas.
It is true that atmospheric gases average the temperature, but water vapor is almost all of that effect. Carbon Dioxide contributes about 3% to averaging and 95% of Carbon Dioxide is from plants. So a 50% reduction of Carbon Dioxide would only affect the temperature a fraction of a degree for a few hours.
If that is not enough, all living things benefit from temperature averaging. For example, wild swings in temperature are used to pasteurize milk. If you want to kill something, wild termperature swings are pretty effective.
CO2 tracks temperature (not vice-versa). More plants grow when it is warmer, and plants account for 95% of the Carbon Dioxide. Scientists have used that fact for decades to determine the temperature of the Earth thousands of years ago. You don’t want to be against science, do you?
Ms. Huffandpuff lives in southern California and like all the other gangsters, thinks the entire planet is like LA.
By the way, the last time I was in LA many years ago, I left the airport, went to a friend’s house, rang the doorbell and a man wearing only his underwear jumped out of the bushes and shot at me four times and I threw my suitcase at him.
He was arrested and sent to a mental institution. That city is crazy as heck.
Curry and Pielke have posted up the McCarthyist letters their heads of dept have received from Raul Grijalva. In each case the objection is to a statement that is entirely consistent with the IPCC.

I think it is time we DEMAND that the ClimAstrologists Like, Muller, Mikey Mann et al show THEIR Oil Company funding and affiliations!
We need a list and to also demand affiliations, funding … with/from NGOs.
So we are supposed to believe there’s no “conspiracy” amongst government scientists, but we see that anyone who doesn’t give the state approved answer gets thrown out of a job and hounded and threatened.
Hmmm, I remember Ed Krug explaining he was treated exactly the same way when he refused to issue state approved bullshit over the “acid rain” scare. Then there was Mitchell Taylor who pointed out that polar bear populations are increasing… boy they didn’t want to hear that. David Bellamy who’s career was ended at the BBC because of his views on windmills and climate change. Peter Sissons reported much the same thing about the political correctness of the BBC.
Now we have Obama proving that there’s no conspiracy by going after Dr Soon.
Here you go guys, a Playboy Interview, 1964
Actually it is very appropriate.
Sure sounds like we are coming close to that time folks.
Gail, if they did not follow your link, many will not know that this is the famous Ayn Rand interview with Playboy. While she was always very insistent that she was not a scientist, it sure would be fun to have her around and commenting on today’s events from her very rational and principled perspective.
Dr. Balling, very good ASU prof.
Love the picture of the MSM whores worshiping Obama… 🙂
Since Obama has established the fact that he can get away with lawless behavior and change and ignore laws at will, why would we not expect him to launch pogroms against anyone who opposes him on what he calls the greatest threat to mankind?
In other words Obummer is a defacto Dictator who is flexing his muscles to make sure everyone knows he will take them out if they cross him.
Got it.
Obama is out of contact with Reality. He has absolutely no power, only delusions of power.
Since the end of WWII scientists have been paid to prohibit the public from knowing the power that makes and sustains atoms of elements out of condensed nuclear matter on the cores of stars:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10640850/Solar_Energy_For_Review.pdf
No, Obama has power. He has power because those elected to stop Obama are not in any way fulfilling their jobs. If there is no real opposition, then Obama has any power he wants. I don’t think he’s out of contact with reality. I think it’s the people who sit and watch and just can’t imagine how this could be happening who are out of touch with reality. Obama fully understands his power and the lack of opposition to his actions.
Obama has insured himself a place in a history’s top-5; alongside Stalin, Nero, Hitler, and Mao; notice that 4 of the 5 are essentially 20th century progressives. I also believe Nero might have been a progressive of his time.
Enjoy the internet while you can. Obama apparatchik’s on the FCC are about to issue illegal rules which will shut it down.
Lysenkoism with a McCarthyan twist, who would have thought that to be possible in this century in a western civilization?
Orwell, et al.
Let me make this easy for the White House. I’m a “climate skeptic” or by your words a “climate denier.” I look forward to being contacted by you or your representatives. Before you do so please come prepared.
It seems everything proves man-made climate change: high temperatures, low temperatures, more rain, more droughts, no snow, blizzards, more hurricanes, less hurricanes, more tornadoes, fewer tornadoes, and volcanoes.
For any hypothesis to be scientific it has to be falsifiable (i.e. there has to be some condition that can’t happen). So how is man-made climate change scientific? What conditions would prove it false? What conditions occurred in the past before man-made climate change that don’t occur now?
Reblogged this on ZEITGEIST.
NO—This is not unbelievable. This is what happens when people do nothing and watch their rights taken away. This did not start yesterday. It started 40 years ago and everyone said “That won’t happen in the US” and ignored anything that looked like that was happening in the US. Parents still send their kids to public school to be indoctrinated—they just don’t care enough to do anything. Apathy leads to loss of freedom. People blog about this, talk about it, and do not a thing. So it is absolutely believable.
To put an end to the effectiveness of this particular campaign, I suggest signs that point to the “Proud climate realist now under attack by the white house” be placed on the doors of all climate realists. If you beat them to the punch, the punch loses it’s momentum.
If no one does anything but cower and complain, kiss your freedom goodbye. You gave it away.
My wonderful daughter who has degrees in biology and environmental sciences and who is in complete agreement with me politically and in about everything else, ,stumbled across this thread and sent it to me in an email.
She got me going into skeptic studies six years ago, sometimes, but not too often to my wife’s dismay.
So to my terrific daughter, ‘Hi’ and please say hello to everyone.
Great, you must have taught her the principles of real science! She didn’t learn it in school.

The USSR used to lock up the opposition in mental institutions. Wondering when that’s coming down the pike because they’re doing everything short of that now.
“The USSR used to lock up the opposition in mental institutions….”
I just covered that earlier today and yes everything is now in place to label the inconvenient as terrorists or mentally ill.
