A witch hunt has begun

Post by Sgt Eddy Brewers »

In case you hadn't heard Democrats, who are losing public support for their insane "climate policies," have begun a political offensive that rivals Stalin's finest. They are attempting to suppress the scientists who have been brave enough to publish papers contradicting the "climate consensus" by attacking them with investigations and legal threats. ;

A good introduction may be found at

You need to look into this if you care about actual freedom in America.

What follows is a reaction (by Jeff Id) to the political witch hunt initiated against scientists who have published “peer-reviewed” science that contradicts the consensus. This is getting REALLYINSANE folks and Obama is on board and riding hard.

Politics ain’t my thing, I am a registered (now reluctant) Democrat… but these ideas need to be considered.

“Wei-Hock Soon is accused of failing to disclose funding from corporations in his research. We don’t seem to know if the funding was for any of the research but to the left-wing climate radicals, that doesn’t really matter.

This isn’t about climate folks. This never was.

It is about politics and enacting a totalitarian style socialist government with the same faux democracy you see in China and North Korea. It is an openly visible government plot to gain ever more power. Driven by bureaucrats personally incentivized by the massive money and power government offers. It IS LED by liberal “progressive” Democrats and it is leading to a very bad place. Unfortunately, no political party is immune from power and the two primary parties we get to pick from are just different rates of change in the same very bad direction. Don’t believe me, then you need to learn your history better. You have been duped.

We are losing our freedoms in America at a massive rate, the internet just took a huge and completely unnecessary blow today. The unelected portion of the government gave itself the power to tax, regulate, limit and redistribute internet access. How long until we find preferred content getting favorable treatment. No Jeff, that would be illegal! If you think like that, you are again wrong… ever hear of the IRS. Are you really naive enough to believe that tax laws aren’t used as a political weapon? —I doubt it. Americans have no clue how much of their own medical freedoms they have just lost either, and it will be decades before they really figure it out. The massive tax increases which were finally enacted last year are already having a huge impact on businesses and employment. I have personal experience with that particular impact. Not that people care about business when the government adjusts the government employment performance numbers to hide their failure.

So illegal aliens being converted to automatic citizens while leaving the border open. Does anyone really believe that is for anything except automatic votes? Free social security, medicaid and health care for them. How about the new push to have 16 and 17 year olds vote? That shouldn’t tweak the numbers in the liberals favor should it? It is about power and votes and guaranteed continuation of both…. nothing else. Hmmm.. I recall hearing about that same sort of voting system in some other country?..

I’ve been personally attacked in two left-wing psychology papers in journals because liberals don’t like that I speak out against the lies of climate science, and they obviously fear me (and you). There is no other reason to call out my name and imply some sort of delusional personality disorder to me. It is these same selfish, self-serving progressives who are doing it for the money.

NO business organization would pay multiple millions of dollars for poor class of work created by Michael Mann or Lewandowsky. In the GOVERNMENT funded world, their mathmagical masturbation can be held up as the best in class, published in the compliant left-wing media and distributed as fact to increase law and regulations by government organizations. To government employees, that sort of nonsense actually has a real value!


Literally hundreds of billions of dollars in government money is funneled to left-wing extremists posing as scientists. The money doesn’t change their minds, the “scientists” were already that biased, many were already willing to lie or exaggerate for the “cause”. These are the people who get preferentially paid over their now nearly extinct colleagues who won’t repeat the complete bovine scatology that climate models are somehow working. Or somehow models haven’t badly overstated the climate sensitivity to CO2 (as several fake papers have tried to claim), or the ridiculous claims of more extreme weather which has been recorded EXACTLY NOWHERE ON THE PLANET.


Theses are false unscientific lies published in droves by the IPCC, the EPA, the LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT PARTY etc….. The liberals are the ones saddling us with these massive losses of freedom across the board. They are the ones twisting every law for purposes of guaranteed election wins.

They are the ones attempting to prevent funding of any group which doesn’t promote increased government control of every aspect of our lives. They are the ones poisoning our population with unhireable moronic dependents who drop out of highschool and will never do anything except collect government checks and stay home — until its time to vote democratic. Seriously, have you ever hired an employee that can’t read? I’ve tried. He made it a few weeks too.

EPA,FCC,IRS,ATF,IPCC,WHO,etc… on and on and on.. Hundreds of billions of tax dollars, stolen from industry and handed over to corrupt liberals. That is who is doing this, and NO that doesn’t make the conservatives clean, but it does make them better than the other guy.

How may of those corrupt, fraudulent, left-wing extremist scientists disclosed their obvious conflicts of interest in receiving government money when publishing their fake work?
How many disclosed their side business money, because it seems pretty clear from basic research that near half receive side money for speaking on climate, conferences, personal green business ventures, etc… Not nearly as many as should disclose, that’s for sure.

The government money is creating and empowering the fraud — INTENTIONALLY! This is not an accident. The purpose of the climate science exaggerations from the government perspective, is reduced freedom and increased government power. That is the value of the exaggerations on climate, and that is what we are being taxed for. There is nothing else in climate science that you really need to know.

So YES I’m pissed off about the Soon thing or investigations of Pielke, Spencer or Curry. It is a blatant left-wing political attempt to prevent them from receiving any funding at all by marginalizing companies who would contribute. To put fear in the hearts of their employers and chill any dissent to their pro-regulation plans. And in the case of Peilke Sr., stunts like this have worked and he is not publishing anything in climate anymore.

We are in big, big trouble as a country, as the damage the progressive liberals are doing in centralizing all control is nearly irreversible barring a major civil war. I fear for our children and grandchildren. My international readers shouldn’t take it as some kind of American hubris when I point out that the loss of American freedom is a very bad thing for the rest of the world.
It is an ugly place when universally left-wing government officials with no personal skin in the game make decisions about every aspect of our lives. We will see soon enough and hopefully we will still be smart enough to figure out what happened. I would write that if you are voting for these people it’s time to wake up but really it is already way too late for that. We are already on that rollercoaster and the car has left the gate.”

Bold and highlights mine.
And just so we are sure about funding and bias in “climate science” consider this:

TL;DR. But do we really need another global warming/climate change thread?
Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.

If you have a good report (short version) and it relates to this, fine, keep it going. But to hash and re-hash all the stuff in the climate change thread is getting old. You say Cold, they say Hot. I say I don't care. We had reptiles (hot) and glaciers (cold). I doubt we make that much difference. Let it go!

I have no desire to pull it. Just commenting that I think this thread is redundant.

Democrats' climate probe brings ‘witch hunt’ accusations
Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva is on a mission to expose climate skeptics. Some say he's going too far.

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote this week on bills that would overhaul the standards for research cited by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The first, titled the Secret Science Reform Act, would prohibit the EPA from using scientific research that is not publicly available in crafting its regulations.

The second bill likely to see a vote, the EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act, would overhaul the panel of scientists and other experts that advises the EPA and reviews agency documents. It would require the EPA to solicit board nominees from the public and federal agencies, as well as require nominees to disclose potential conflicts of interest.
