Global Warming Data Scandal, An Update

The UK Telegraph chews the data, puts things in order, and tells us simple types what this whole mess is really all about. Scientists lied. Objectivity died. We’ve been played. See, that was easy, right?



the final nail in the coffin?



The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet.

When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”. These alleged emails – supposedly exchanged by some of the most prominent scientists pushing AGW theory – suggest:

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

Hey, don’t forget suppression of evidence, and a deliberate plan to squash dissent.

Alas, the rotund lady isn’t even yet warming up for her aria:

I asked in my title whether this will be the final nail in the coffin of Anthropogenic Global Warming. This was wishful thinking, of course. In the run up to Copenhagen, we will see more and more hysterical (and grotesquely exaggerated) stories such as this in the Mainstream Media. And we will see ever-more-virulent campaigns conducted by eco-fascist activists, such as this risible new advertising campaign by Plane Stupid showing CGI polar bears falling from the sky and exploding because kind of, like, man, that’s sort of what happens whenever you take another trip on an aeroplane.

The world is currently cooling; electorates are increasingly reluctant to support eco-policies leading to more oppressive regulation, higher taxes and higher utility bills; the tide is turning against Al Gore’s Anthropogenic Global Warming theory. The so-called “sceptical” view is now also the majority view.

Unfortunately, we’ve a long, long way to go before the public mood (and scientific truth) is reflected by our policy makers. There are too many vested interests in AGW, with far too much to lose either in terms of reputation or money, for this to end without a bitter fight.

Thank You For Petting My Peeve

7th Circuit Court of Appeals Overturns Lautenberg Amendment?



and introducing the judicial concept of “intermediate scrutiny”!



A federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of a Wisconsin man barred from owning firearms because of his criminal record, ruling the lifetime prohibition may violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights and calling into question the future of a 13-year old gun control law.

In a 3-0 decision on Wednesday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a trial judge to take a second look at the evidence that a 1996 federal law prohibiting anyone convicted of a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” is constitutional in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that emphasized “the individual right to possess and carry weapons.”

US Code
TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 44

§ 922. Unlawful acts

(g) It shall be unlawful for any person -
(9) who has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence,
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce,
or possess in or affecting commerce,
any firearm or ammunition;

or to receive
any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

The Lautenberg Amendment applies regardless of when such a conviction occurred. Or whether the crime committed was even called domestic violence at the time. If a young woman beat up her fiance in 1953 and was ticketed for it, then in 1996 she also lost her rights to own firearms. If at that point she had a career that required her to be armed, too bad. Game over.

You’ve heard me go off on this thing time and time again. It’s beyond unconstitutional. It’s an affront to what America is all about. It’s so off base that it could have only come from one state, and it did. 922 (g)(9) was brought into being by perennial New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg. To him the law’s blatant violation of both the 2nd and 10th Amendments don’t matter. And let’s ignore the gruesome ex post facto part that adds “excessive fines and punishments” to a petty crime. No, it’s a feel good, knee-jerk, do nothing bit of junk that “fights crime”. And up until this morning we were stuck with it.

As military law blogger Zach Spilman puts it,

The Government, in response to his challenge, essentially argued only that Heller’s presumption of lawfulness of certain categories of gun regulations, such as felon-in-possession prohibitions, extends to 922(g)(9).  Nice try. The court reversed and remanded for further proceedings to better develop the record, essentially forcing counsel to write that long brief after all (specifically: “the government has made little effort to discharge its burden of demonstrating the relationship between § 922(g)(9)’s means and its end”).
...
What’s interesting is that the court found that Skoien didn’t necessarily lose his Second Amendment rights when he was convicted of the misdemeanor domestic-violence offense. It then determined that intermediate scrutiny applies to determine the “reasonable fit between the perpetual disarmament of domestic-violence misdemeanants and the important goal of preventing gun violence against domestic intimates.” However, as discussed, it found the record to be insufficiently developed on the ultimate issue.

I don’t want to say it’s a full overturning. Not yet. The 7th Circuit sent it back to the lower court to reconsider the constitutionality of this law in light of last year’s Heller decision. But I like what they wrote about it

The disputed question here is the relationship between the government’s means and its end — whether there is a “reasonable fit” between the perpetual disarmament of domestic-violence misdemeanants and the important goal of preventing gun violence against domestic intimates. We cannot resolve this question on the present state of the record; the government has made little effort to discharge its burden of demonstrating the relationship between § 922(g)(9)’s means and its end.

The government has rested nearly its entire case on Heller’s reference to felon-dispossession laws, asserting, without analysis, that “Congress permissibly concluded that a narrow additional range of serious criminal offenses should likewise result in the forfeiture of the right to possess a firearm, even though the offenses are defined as misdemeanors under applicable law.

...

Senator Lautenberg’s floor statement and the DOJ study help establish the magnitude of the public safety problem, but they do not specifically address the more pertinent questions of recidivism among offenders who commit domestic-violence misdemeanors and whether there is any relationship between ready access to a gun and the risk that a gun will be used against a domestic intimate. We have reason to believe both propositions have been studied, but that’s based on our own research, not because the government has made its case.

Accordingly, we cannot conclude on this record that the government has carried its burden of establishing a reasonable fit between the important objective of reducing domestic gun violence and § 922(g)(9)’s permanent disarmament of all domestic-violence misdemeanants. In fairness, because Heller did not establish a standard of review, the government did not know what its burden
would be.

The CBS article then takes a look at the broader picture, and wonders if taking away people’s 2A rights because of a felony conviction is just and proper. Well, some felony convictions ...

Its [ the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ] surprising conclusion: federal law’s lifetime prohibition on non-violent felons possessing firearms is relatively recent and probably not consistent with the views of the Second Amendment’s framers. In an age when Americans can be non-violent felons for possession of a short lobster or sharing MP3 files, is a lifetime ban constitutional?

For other constitutional rights such as the First Amendment, it’s relatively common to see acts of Congress struck down as going too far, as anyone who’s followed the series of cases about Internet pornography or abortion can attest.

That hasn’t been the situation with the Second Amendment even after the Heller decision, in part because some judges have not taken constitutional arguments seriously, and in part because the Supreme Court has not provided a road map to follow. The justices now have a chance to remedy that oversight in the case currently before the court, McDonald v. Chicago. If they don’t, expect this constitutional confusion to continue.

Perhaps it’s time that A) a whole boatload of puissant little felonies were tossed overboard and the federal government stopped micromanaging our lives [that’s why we have states and counties!], and B) the constitutionality of Lautenberg was honestly addressed. Hurray for the 7th Circuit for making the right decision to overturn, Boo for the 7th Circuit allowing the lower court to decide the constitutionality of it, for now ... but it’s what they had to do actually.

Naturally CBS cites all sorts of stare decisis in favor of Lautenberg and it’s Noble Intent”, but so what? I’m sure there was lots of that to support the Dred Scott decision way back when, and that was wrong too.

Lautenberg. Fuck it. Chuck it.

That goes for his “amendment” too.

Musical Interlude

Part 1

Related to the previous post ... we get a whole lotta mileage out of old Dvorak’s Symphony #9.

Here’s Academy Award winning actress Deanna Durbin, who at 87 continues to live in peaceful seclusion, signing Goin’ Home. Eye candy for Peiper, because I know he likes the old time ladies. She’s 25 in this video.

The music is straight from the Largo in #9, and the words were written by his assistant William Arms Fisher. Two DWEMs ( Dead White European Males ), yet the song is so evocative of a Negro Spiritual that it’s probably considered racist these days to watch a white woman sing it. Yet ... the underlying themes, the soul of the song, is just as authentically Bohemian as it is authentically Black.  And some say the tune is even older, that it was an old Scottish song long before any negro slave every heard it. Go figure.

These days it’s mostly played at funerals, but that was not the intent of the original. Like I said, ya learn something new here every day.

So here she is, cut from the film It started with Eve from 1941 ...

.




Part 2

While running down a couple of versions of Goin’ Home I found Mary Fahl doing Going Home, one of the tunes from the wonderful Gods and Generals film. Gonna hafta get myself a copy of that show one of these days, along with the Ken Burns series. I’ve always loved how deeply the Celtic blood runs in American folk music. This one is lovely. And so is the song! LOL

A Nice Touch

Thinking of thinking about how to contact your far flung friends and family for Thanksgiving? Don’t want to spend hours on the phone running up the bill or face Walmart and the Post Office and buy a whole passel of greeting cards?

Peiper gave me a subscription to the online animated Jackie Lawson greeting card site as a birthday present. Thanks Jay, this is great! They have a wide selection of cards for every occasion, and you can sign up for a year’s worth for a very reasonable amount. Send as many cards as you like. Their animations are fairly simple but their artwork is very nice. And almost all of them are set to a decent bit of music. Plus, they have a whole series of cards featuring Chudleigh the animated Labrador Retriever. Chudleigh even has his own set of Pelmanism game cards (remember the TV game show Match Game?) to make them even more fun.


This year’s newest Thanksgiving card gives old Chudleigh some time off, and features Bertie and Fluff instead.

The music for this one is from the peaceful middle passage of the first movement of Dvorak’s Symphony #9, The New World Symphony, a piece of music that has been used so extensively in film and cartoons that’s it’s become a bit of Americana, even though Dvorak himself was Czech, and most of his music was strongly influenced by the folk music of his native Bohemia. Hey, he wrote this one about us, so it’s ours now.


See? You get a bit of klazzical edgamacation here at BMEWS every day!

Pwned!

Gotcha!




A comment from over at Hotair.com by reader Unseen, from their post about Sarah Palin’s book selling 300,000 copies it’s first day. Love it:


Slate magazine is just one of the countless media outlets convulsing with St. Vitus’ Dance over that demonic succubus Sarah Palin. In its reader forum, The Fray, one supposed Palinophobe took dead aim at the former Alaska governor’s writing chops, excerpting the following sentence from her book:

“The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a buzzer downstairs that didn’t work, so that visitors had to call ahead from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws clamped around an empty beer bottle.”

Other readers pounced like wolf-sized Dobermans on an intruder. One guffawed, “That sentence by Sarah Palin could be entered into the annual Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest. It could have a chance at winning a (sic) honorable mention, at any rate.”

But soon, the original contributor confessed: “I probably should have mentioned that the sentence quoted above was not written by Sarah Palin. It’s taken from the first paragraph of Dreams From My Father, written by Barack Obama.”

[or was it by Bill Ayers? Either way, this is probably the first criticism any part of that book has received from the left]

Don’t they ever learn?

Fox Under Fire Over Palin Video




For the second time in just over a week, Fox News is coming under fire for misusing old news footage. The latest flap is leading some people to charge that the cable news network is intentionally misleading its audience, while Fox claims a “production error.”

Wednesday’s incident occurred when Fox News host Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a Sarah Palin appearance and book signing in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive turnout. As footage rolled of a smiling and waving Palin amidst a throng of fans, Jarrett noted that the former Republican vice-presidential candidate is “continuing to draw huge crowds while she’s promoting her brand-new book,’’ adding that the images being shown were “some of the pictures just coming in to us.... The lines earlier had formed this morning.”

However, the video used in the segment was from a 2008 McCain/Palin campaign rally. In response to the minor uproar that arose after clips of Jarrett’s report hit the Internet, Fox senior vice-president of news Michael Clemente issued an initial statement saying, “This was a production error in which the copy editor changed a script and didn’t alert the control room to update the video.”

On Thursday afternoon, Fox News issued an on-air apology delivered by host Jane Skinner





Not mentioned in this story is how Google News first reported that “thousands” attended one of her events, then later changed the headline to “hundreds”. Or that other news story about - what was it again? - either the police or the military limited either press access or crowd access to another event, out of fears the situation would become unmanageable.

The bottom line is obvious: Sarah Palin is a lightning rod. So be real careful. Double and triple check everything, from the video clips to the editing to the rights of the picture you’re using for your magazine cover. Because both her fans and her detractors will put everything under the microscope and then cry foul if anything is off-kilter. Be warned. Wise up.

smells like a lawsuit to me!

breaking story - “lost” climate data hacked, Global Warming is a Scam?

CBullit tips us off to breaking Global Warming News!!

“It appears that the proverbial Climate Science Cat is out of the bag….” … and into the box.

- Roger Knights, comment #1

It throws down the bullshit flag on AGW so hard the Earth shakes
- CMBlake6

Remember when England’s CRU scrubbed all its temp data in response to Steve McIntyre’s FOIA requests? I, like many, concluded they did so because the data supported Steve and not their Mann-Briffa, hockey stick Thermageddon scenarios requiring Waxman-Markey type “Solutions.” I likened the whole affair to the plot of a spy novel, with moles and secrets. It appears I failed to account for some of the characters. Apparently a hacker with a passion for scientific truth has entered the storyline.

Today, some of the “missing” data (a 61 meg file of data, code and emails) began appearing in the comments at skeptic sites like Jeff Id’s Air Vent. Anthony posted some of it while traveling.

So, what were they hiding?

His page here links to a page HERE which mentions how the

HADLEY CLIMATE RESEARCH UNIT has been hacked, and their data put up on a bulletin board in Russia:

Breaking News Story: Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked – hundreds of files released 19 11 2009

The details on this are still sketchy, we’ll probably never know what went on. But it appears that Hadley Climate Research Unit has been hacked and many many files have been released by the hacker or person unknown

An unknown person put postings on some climate skeptic websites that advertsied an FTP file on a Russian FTP server, here is the message that was placed on the Air Vent today:

We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to
be kept under wraps.

We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents

The file was large, about 61 megabytes, containing hundreds of files.

It contained data, code, and emails from Phil Jones at CRU to and from many people.

I’ve seen the file, it appears to be genuine and from CRU. Others who have seen it concur- it appears genuine. There are so many files it appears unlikely that it is a hoax. The effort would be too great.

That page links to this one, http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=7801#comments , and in the comments several of the hacked emails are reprinted. The server is overloading right now.




Right then, what’s this all about? Remember the “hockey stick graph” of climate change? You might recall that Hansen, et al, relied on this for there Chicken Little Forcast of Doom.  But when approached for the raw data, they wouldn’t share. Such scientists!

Now, either the same guys, or their close buddies, over at the Hadley CRU in England, did an even worse thing. When they were LEGALLY approached for their data - a Freedom of Information request - they refused to do so, and claimed that a mole had scrubbed their files. Let me quote CBullit again on this:


In case you missed it, the John LeCare-esque contest Steve McIntyre waged to get surface station data from Britain came to an end the other day when a “mole” inside the agency gave him the data the tight-assed, in-the-AGW-tank managers refused to give up after multiple requests. Two days ago they began purging their files. Everything is now off limits. Smells like typical AGW “science.”

Well, maybe they did scrub those files. And maybe they didn’t. But it looks like someone keep a copy, or snuck out a copy, or broke in recently and stole a copy. Either way ... so what?

Well, nothing much really. Except that the emails and documents found pretty much prove that the data was rigged from the very beginning. Global Warming aka Climate Change is a TOTAL HOAX:

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow.
I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps
to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from
1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.

(Emphasis mine)

Look, I’m whacking this post together in seconds, I haven’t had time to read through all this or digest it. But CBullit has been on top of this for a long time, it’s getting play over at Watt’s Up With That ... and this could be the real deal breaker at last. Steamboat got a copy of the hacked data?? And it contains the erronious algorithms, the so called Yamal code and the Mann code? Those were the algorithms other real scientists had to reverse engineer to be able to plot Hansen’s data, right? And even then it wouldn’t work, but Hansen wouldn’t release the source code? And now the code is out? Yikes!

Dudes, send me a copy!!

I may have this whole thing wrong - I’ll take a backseat to CB, Steamy, and it looks like our Nicole has been busy over there as well?? So comment away guys, help us understand wassup wit dis shiz!

and one from Carol


This came from a Marine’s wife. It says it all:

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the government underwent a peaceful transition of power a few months ago. At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while Barack Obama took his Oath of Office.

However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President. It was then that I realized how far America’s Military had deteriorated ...

every damn one of them missed the bastard!

And this one from Doc



In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said:

“Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students...?”

“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me, I’d like you to pass a little test.  It’s called the Test of Three.”

“Test of Three?”

“That’s correct,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my student let’s take a moment to test what you’re going to say..

The first test is Truth.

Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”

“No,” the man replied, “actually I just heard about it.”
“All right,” said Socrates.. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not.

Now let’s try the second test, the test of Goodness.

Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?”
“No, on the contrary...”
“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him even though you’re not certain it’s true?”
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued, “You may still pass though because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness.  Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?”
“No, not really...”
“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?”
The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

It also explains why Socrates never found out that Plato was banging his wife.

sent in by reader TJ



This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.

A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

“Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty. You’re crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?”

“We’re taking Continental,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!”

“Continental?” exclaimed the hairdresser “That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?”

“We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome’s Tiber River called Teste.”

“Don’t go any further. I know that place.  Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it’s really a dump.”

“We’re going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.”

“That’s rich,” laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him.  He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it.”

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

“It was wonderful,” explained the woman, “not only were we on time in one of Continental’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They’d just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it’s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no extra charge!”

“Well,” muttered the hairdresser, “that’s all well and good, but I know you didn’t get to see the Pope.”

“Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.  Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.”

“Oh, really!  What did he say?”

He said: “Who fucked up your hair?”

Having managed to catch the very worst cold known to humankind ,,, LOL

I say that cos rotten as I feel, and boy am I sick this morning, the ladies always remind us that when men catch a cold, it’s always the worst in the world ever.  Like if Drew or Lyndon or anyone else at BMEWS comes down with a bug, it can’t possibly be worse then mine.

Started yesterday when my throat started to feel like I swallowed broken glass.  Then the sneezing and all the rest but somehow I managed to bravely survive the day. Woo-Hoo.

Anyway, been up half the night and am only up at the moment waiting for a repairman.  Will leave the wife to deal with it because jokes aside ppl,
I do not need to be at a computer today. In fact, I’m headed back to bed.  But first ...

When I came downstairs this morning the first thing that caught my eye and my anger (again) was this not so new story.  I never posted the original as there was so much else of like or worse things going on.  But this update really caught my attention.  This vile excuse for a human, now age 15, was on the phone and all giggly at her trial for manslaughter.  Actually, there are two sluts involved here.  What I can’t understand is how one of the slags was allowed to have a cell phone in court, during her trial.  During which it’s reported, she was joking and taking off her lawyer’s wig and placing it on her own head.  I’m referring now specifically to the slag of Turkish extraction whose name is Hatice Can.
This quote give you some idea of her mindset.  After the bullied victim lay dying in the street ....

As she lay dying on the street below, Can looked over her body and said: ‘Serves you right, bitch.’

And she’s allowed a phone in court?  Great system they have here.  She wasn’t so jolly when the sentence was passed but hey, she and her friend of darker hue, accomplice Oluwakemi Ajose, will soon be free to find new victims and perhaps new and more inventive ways to kill them.

How the damn hell does one pronounce Oluwakemi?  Freak names and freak life forms. Just look at her photo.

Justice would be tossing both these worthless bags of shit off the roof of a building.  We won’t hold our breath.

What makes the story sadder still is that the victim in this case was adopted and brought from the slums of Brazil to a “better” life here.
Yeah right. A better life in broken Britain.

Guilty, girl of 13 who bullied a vicar’s daughter to death

By Arthur Martin
Last updated at 12:56 AM on 19th November 2009

A ‘manipulative and callous’ girl of 13 who relentlessly tormented a vicar’s daughter to the point where she jumped 50ft to her death was found guilty of manslaughter yesterday.

Hatice Can and accomplice Oluwakemi Ajose, then 17, subjected Rosimeiri Boxall to a terrifying campaign of bullying for two years.

Rosimeiri, 19, who had been adopted and brought to Britain from a Brazilian slum, was punched, slapped, pulled by her hair, sprayed in the eyes with deodorant and branded a ‘whore’ and a ‘slag’.

Last night, the Reverend Simon Boxall, who adopted Rosi in Brazil with his wife Rachel before bringing her to Britain, said: ‘We continue to pray for those who are responsible for Rosi’s death. We want them to know that we forgive them. That does not mean that what they did doesn’t matter, of course it does.

‘Forgiveness means that we refuse to be shackled by bitterness and our prayer is that forgiveness will allow the girls to be released from the burden of what they did.’

He added: ‘We still miss her greatly, but we do not for an instant regret the decision we took to adopt her. She has given us so many moments of pure joy and we are thankful for those times.’

At the age of 13, Can is one of the youngest girls in Britain to have committed manslaughter. Britain’s youngest female killer is Mary Bell, who committed murder when she was just 11. She was found guilty of killing two children in 1968.

A few days before her death, Rosi moved into Ajose’s apartment - situated within a housing unit run by Greenwich Council in Blackheath, South-East London.

Last night, the council said Ajose was simply a council tenant and was not subject to any additional supervision.

Can, who occasionally lived in the flat, essentially led a feral life. She flitted between addresses, having little to do with her unemployed parents.

Two years before the fatal attack, when Can was only 11, she had pushed Rosi off a wall and threatened another girl with a knife. Before Rosi’s death both girls had set her

trousers on fire on a kitchen hob. Other victims of the pair told how they had been locked in bedrooms and had a mobile phone charger flex wrapped around their hands.

On the day of Rosi’s death, May 17 last year, she was relentlessly bullied by Ajose and Can who were both drinking from a vodka bottle.

The 13-year-old became intensely jealous of Miss Boxall after Shane Francis, 20, made it clear he liked her better than Can.

Raffaelina Asli, whose son George lived in a flat below, heard the commotion and offered to help Rosi. But she refused and replied tearfully: ‘I’m fine - they’re my friends.’

Shocking mobile phone footage filmed by Miss Asli’s son 30 minutes before Rosi’s death shows Can screaming orders to hit her ‘lower, lower’ as Ajose slaps her head and pulls her from a bed by her hair.

Despite her age, Can, whose parents are Turkish, was described by police as the ‘leader of the gang’ and the ‘boss’. Can, now 15, was well known to social services because she had run away from home in Belvedere, Kent, several times.

The police source said: ‘Can is manipulative and callous - the leader of the gang. She has never shown remorse, ever. She has not shed a tear for Rosi, ever. Quite frightening for a girl of her age. Can is a big bully.’

Yesterday, Ajose, of Charlton, South-East London, was remanded back to a psychiatric hospital. Can was remanded into the care of her local authority.

remanded back to a psychiatric hospital

Oh good. So some shrink who’s really nuts and fooled by the actress in this piece of filth, will declare her safe and cured and set the bitch free.
Come into my web said the spider ....

Meanwhile the idiot adoptive parents have found “Christian Forgiveness” for the rotten, feral skanks.  And sorry as I am for the victim, I have to wonder just what the heck she herself was doing hanging with this miserable pair. ???  Lots of unanswered questions. Whatever, she didn’t deserve to have her life cut short.

That’s it. I outta here.  Over to you Drew.

If at first you don’t succeed

Fail. Then Fail Again




Somali pirates attacked the Maersk Alabama on Wednesday for the second time in seven months and were thwarted by private guards on board the U.S.-flagged ship who fired off guns and a high-decibel noise device.

Pirates hijacked the Maersk Alabama last April and took ship captain Richard Phillips hostage, holding him at gunpoint in a lifeboat for five days. Navy SEAL sharpshooters freed Phillips while killing three pirates in a daring nighttime attack.

Four suspected pirates in a skiff attacked the ship again on Wednesday around 6:30 a.m. local time, firing on the ship with automatic weapons from about 300 yards (meters) away, a statement from the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain said.

An on-board security team repelled the attack by using evasive maneuvers, small-arms fire and a Long Range Acoustic Device, which can beam earsplitting alarm tones, the fleet said.

Vice Adm. Bill Gortney of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, said the Maersk Alabama had followed the maritime industry’s “best practices” in having a security team on board.

“This is a great example of how merchant mariners can take proactive action to prevent being attacked and why we recommend that ships follow industry best practices if they’re in high-risk areas,” Gortney said in a statement.

The owners of the Maersk Alabama have spent a considerable amount of money since the April hijacking to make the vessel pirate-proof, Murphy said, including structural features and safety equipment. The most dramatic change is what he called a security force of “highly trained ex-military personnel.”

“Somali pirates understand one thing and only one thing, and that’s force,” said Capt. Joseph Murphy, who teaches maritime security at the school. “They analyze risk very carefully, and when the risk is too high they are going to step back. They are not going to jeopardize themselves.”

Bet these things jeopardize pirates just as well today as they did 200 years ago

UN: Fight climate change with free condoms




Why, do they reduce friction or something? Or is it just “cool” to use them? Maybe they make the sex so bad you don’t bother, thus saving calories and waste heat.


The battle against global warming could be helped if the world slowed population growth by making free condoms and family planning advice more widely available, the U.N. Population Fund said Wednesday.

The agency did not recommend countries set limits on how many children people should have, but said: “Women with access to reproductive health services ... have lower fertility rates that contribute to slower growth in greenhouse gas emissions.”

“As the growth of population, economies and consumption outpaces the Earth’s capacity to adjust, climate change could become much more extreme and conceivably catastrophic,” the report said.

The world’s population will likely rise from the current 6.7 billion to 9.2 billion in 2050, with most of the growth in less developed regions, according to a 2006 report by the United Nations.

The U.N. Population Fund acknowledged it had no proof of the effect that population control would have on climate change. “The linkages between population and climate change are in most cases complex and indirect,” the report said.

It also said that while there is no doubt that “people cause climate change,” the developing world has been responsible for a much smaller share of world’s greenhouse gas emissions than developed countries.




Here it is folks, in black and white. In no uncertain terms whatsoever. The solution to climate change is to depopulate the planet. Eugenics by any other name. Because the Global Warming crowd is the exact same bunch of self-haters and racists as the Zero Population Growth crowd. Always has been. But now, with the ascendancy of the radical far left to power, they aren’t even bothering to hide their core message any more. We Won, so it’s time to crow.

And they will append lie upon lie to their story, but the message remains the same: people must go. Especially the lesser ones. Who all just so happen to be darker than average. Is this where I insert the recent quote from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, about how abortions had to be funded by Medicaid because of her concerns about certain types of babies “we don’t want to have too many of” ?

It’s all part and parcel. This is the core belief of the left. And here it is, in black and white. All people are bad (white males especially) so let’s get rid of them. Either all of them, or until there’s just enough slave population left to support us elites in the style we deserve.

The Democrats were pro-slavery 150 years ago. Then they were all in favor of the Jim Crow laws that they themselves passed. Then they were in favor of Margaret Sanger, eugenics, Stalin, Hitler, and every other tyrant who enacted mass murder. Then they were in favor of “separate but equal” apartheid and against integration. Then they were against the Civil Rights Act. Then they came out in favor of Johnson’s “Great Society” welfare scheme, that has done more to harm minorities than anything in history. Then they were in favor of Zero Population Growth and abortion. But really they only wanted to push abortion on those undesirable types, so let’s get the government to fund it for them. Now it’s Global Warming. Which can be fought by handing out rubbers in the Third World. Where all the darkies live! Because white folks in developed countries bought into this nonsense ages ago and are already depopulating themselves (see Mark Steyn et al).

The name of the vector changes over time, but their core belief remains the same.

  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
