Among my accomplishments in my time off I finished my third DJ Mydnyt album, and am redesigning the website for launch TBA. In the meantime, I have uploaded the album cover that I made and the tracks to my account at Behance if you want to check out the full album. Here is a look at the front cover:

Also during the month I put together my first ever zine, and will be getting that printed and available as the summer approaches, with future issues to follow soon. Angry Hippie Unplugged is the name of this project and the first issue is called Digger’s Dream. So look for more about that to come soon. Anyway, it was a busy month ‘off’, but I am excited about everything that I was able to get done. Thanks for sticking around, and I will see you on the flipside.

From Wikileaks:

“This archive presents over 120Mb of emails, documents, computer code and models from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, written between 1996 and 2009.

The CRU has told the BBC that the files were obtained by a computer hacker 3-4 days ago.

This archive includes unreleased global temperature analysis computer source code that has been the subject of Freedom of Information Act requests.

The archive appears to be a collection of information put together by the CRU prior to a FoI redaction process.”

Just a few excerpts from the emails:

From: Phil Jones. To: Many. Nov 16, 1999
“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”
-
From: Mick Kelly To: Nguyen Huu Ninh. June 24, 2003
“NOAA want to give us more money for the El Nino work with IGCN. How much do we have left from the last budget? I reckon most has been spent but we need to show some left to cover the costs of the trip Roger didn’t make and also the fees/equipment/computer money we haven’t spent otherwise NOAA will be suspicious.”
-
From Phil Jones To: Michael Mann (Pennsylvania State University). July 8, 2004
“I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”
-
From: Kevin Trenberth (US National Center for Atmospheric Research). To: Michael Mann. Oct 12, 2009
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t… Our observing system is inadequate.”

An excerpt from James Corbett’s message:

A Message to the Environmental Movement

“This is James Corbett of corbettreport.com and I come here today with a message for you.

You the environmentalists, you the activists, you the campaigners.

You who have watched with growing concern the ways in which the world around us has been ravaged in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

You who are concerned with the state of the planet that we are leaving for our children and our grandchildren and those generations yet unborn.

This is not a message of divisiveness, but cooperation.

This is a message of hope and empowerment, but it requires us to look at a hard and uncomfortable truth:

Your movement has been usurped by the very same financial interests you thought you were fighting against.

You have suspected as much for years.

You watched at first with hope and excitement as your movement, your cause, your message began to spread, as it was taken up by the media and given attention, as conferences were organized and as the ideas you had struggled so long and hard to be heard were talked about nationally. Then internationally.

You watched with growing unease as the message was simplified. First it became a slogan. Then it became a brand. Soon it was nothing more than a label and it became attached to products. The ideas you had once fought for were now being sold back to you. For profit.

Please go to the site and check out the article, links and information for yourself!

As Jon Stewart and crew points out in the videos below, the station’s practices are beyond appalling. The station fabricates stories and spreads falsehoods to push their agendas of discrimination, hate, and fear mongering…or as we saw during the Bush Administration the agenda handed to them by the neo-conservative White House. However you slice it, their title as a news channel is not misleading to the point of hysterical but also a flat out lie. And their slogan, ‘Fair and Balanced’, would be as laughable as the idea of their news channel classification if it wasn’t so fucking sad. Sad because, not only do masses of Americans buy into the bullshit, but they seem to believe it as well. Honestly, they take themselves fucking seriously…

How Fox News Operates

Hannity Stacks the Deck

How many more instances of improper practices do we really need to suffer? Fox News should just change their names to Faux News : Fairly Imbalanced, and at least then, when the public does suffer through their hourly bile spillage they will be told up front that it is complete and utter shite! Turn the channel, people. This proverbial antagonistic peanut gallery is no longer needed. We want to move forward to a more open-minded and accepting America, and as long as these poisoned tongued misfits are paraded around and passed off to the public as legitimate news agents, that will never fucking happen! Let us take back the airwaves, people.

I also give out the new phone number I have for podcast voicemails that may be played on future episodes. So grab the number and hit me up!!
