#Climategate: 30 Years of Science by Consensus - Plotting the Timeline

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:27:00 +0000

This is great! Hat Tip: "Watts Up With That" Climategate: 30 years in the making Mohib Ebrahim has created professional timelines for exhibitions, so it must have seemed only natural to him to want to visually piece together the full timeline of ClimateGate, laying out the analysis, graphs, emails and history of the scandal as revealed by dozens of researchers over the past weeks, months and years. Visit the site to download. The PDF chart is available in...

A Sinister Gathering in the City of Light Bulbs

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:26:00 +0000

Today in the southern Dutch town of Eindhoven - original seat of the Philips light bulb emporium - a five day international convention of Islamists is kicking off. It's keeping domestic and international secret services off the Christmas pudding. Authorities fear the gathering will be used to raise funds for international jihad. The meeting is organized by the Al Waqf al Islami Foundation, also based in Eindhoven. Venue is the Al Furqan Mosque, listed as radical and under continued...

Of Potentates, the Lie and Altered States of Reality

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:22:00 +0000

Russian writer and Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote in 1974: "In our country the lie has become not just a moral category, but a pillar of the state." Think about that profound statement for a while! The Berlin Wall was raised by the Soviets for a purpose: it marked the border between the real world and the altered state of reality that the Communists had created. The manuscript of his book The Gulag Archipelago had to be smuggled out. This is how the public in the West...

Epics for a Postmodern Era

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:35:00 +0000

A major part of this blog's hypothesis is the claim that Christian cosmology has stood model for the conceptual framework of almost all modern ideologies. As God was the center of the Universe, with Pope, King or Emperor as spiritual and secular substitutes in feudal times - during modernity in Nationalism - the Nation quite literally usurped God's place, as did the State in all incarnations of Statism. That includes liberal democracy, which is presently collapsing under the weight of...

Afghanistan: the Road to Nationhood - Part II

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:59:00 +0000

"On Development Aid, Stability and Unification" by Dr Sam Holliday The visit of US Defense Secretary Robert Gates to Afghanistan, on 8 December 2009, unfortunately suggests that US policy will not basically change. Or if there is to be a change toward decentralization of power, it was well hidden. Gates spoke of continued support for Harmid Karzai and the building, training and retention of the security forces controlled by the central government, Afghan Army and the Afghan...

Breaking News From Iran

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:17:00 +0000

"Mutiny in the Military" by Afshin Ellian Breaking news! Pundits and diplomats have been wondering why the Iranian regime is loath to use the China model against protesters and opponents in the Green Wave movement. The China model stands for an extremely brutal, widespread and violent crack down on the opposition. Well, what does it mean? Tanks and armed military charging and firing into the crowds. A wave of executions is also included in the model. Applied to Iran that would mean...

COP15: the Vortex of Global Socialism

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:01:00 +0000

Image by genetew via Flickr Yesterday at COP15 (that's eco lingo for the Copenhagen Climate Conclave) European leaders signed off on "7.2 bn Euros* over the next three years to a fund to help developing nations adapt to climate change. Announcing the deal, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said all 27 EU member nations would contribute." (...) >>> * That's peanuts compared to what is actually being claimed! Estimates range between $100 and $350 bn a year. To those who...

Afghanistan: the Road to Nationhood - Part I

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:51:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia "Losing the war is not an option" by Arend Jan Boekestijn (original article in Dutch) Pundits are fond to cite George Orwell lately: the fastest way to end a war is to lose it. Afghanistan has divided the West. We have acted so recklessly that it appeared at times as if losing the war was indeed the object. But it would have dire consequences for Western security. For those who are taking pleasure in debunking Obama: losing the war in Afghanistan is no option. As...

As dumbing down continued to the point of now even Socialists coming out against their own "equality of outcome" policies in education, and as anti authoritarianism abdicated parental autonomy, smart asses in the religion of piece are preparing to strike the fatal blow with false equivalence.

Team Wilders Versus Pomo Law

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:46:00 +0000

The paper version of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported this morning that Geert Wilders' star lawyer Abraham Moszkowicz has lodged a complaint with the Amsterdam Court of Appeal against their indictment of Wilders for "insulting a group". Come to think of it: this charge may not even be constitutional. I don't know about your country, but it's the first time I hear that "groups" are a legal entity. Article #1 of the Constitution reads: "All on the territory of the Netherlands will be...

The Turkish Capacity for Chutzpah

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:32:00 +0000

In a recent entry on the Articles file "In Defense of Liberty" we brought up the matter of a Dutch Parliamentary delegation headed for Turkey running into trouble, because the Turkish Government refused to meet with Geert Wilders, a member of the party. It's just become official and to his honor, the Socialist leader of the group has cancelled the tour altogether. The Turkish Government kindly confirmed for us a number of 'preconceptions' we are allegedly laboring under. For one, true to...

ClimateGate: Looting on a Global Scale

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:50:00 +0000

An entire new, state-sponsored, taxpayer-funded industry is being rolled out: in the US in a crypto Socialist political-industrial complex called the Apollo Alliance. One arm branches off into Europe, called the Lisbon Council. The vast extent of the deceipt is mindboggling! At the Copenhagen Summit, a group of African nations led by Ethiopia, shall be demanding $67 billion per year from Western developed nations as reparations for the “devastating effects of climate change on the African...

Global Warming? World Socialism Is More Like It!

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:24:00 +0000

With ClimateGate spreading like an oilspill, the Comintern at the IPCC is increasingly coming over like Baghdad Bob, assuring us business is as usual while the besiegers can already be seen storming the gates. While the entire world has been lied to and defrauded of their hard earned cash, the greatest victim here may well be the field of science. Regretably people do not see it as hard science being infiltrated and abused by a bunch of postmodern crackpot humanities academics; instead the...

Hacking a Way Through the Hottest Hoax

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:53:00 +0000

Ever since Emmanuel Kant took up duplicitous sophistry - called by its Orwellian name "Pure Reason" - using false logic to lay the axe at the root of reason, we've seen this parlour trick used against the forces of Enlightenment, again and again. It is in fact a intricate equivocation wrapped in a dense layer of philosophical yada yada to cover up the intellectual shell game. Kant's dialectic was followed by Hegel's, followed by Marx', followed by Nietzsche's and Heidegger's, followed by the...

Obama, As Good As His Word (on GITMO)

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:31:00 +0000

Bringing the 9/11 Soldiers of Allah to a civilian Court in New York - a thousand yards removed from where the towers once proudly stood - was one of the most cherished wishes of the anti America front, from tranzie centrists, to the dimwitted Left and the mentally debilitated anti war brigade. Now, in power, President Obama is as good as his pre election word - on this point at least. Apparently with a reference to their occupation of choice in the world of business, the victims of 9/11 in...

The Women of the Iranian Vanguard

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:43:00 +0000

After Veterans and Remembrance Day it is once again opportune we turn our attention to tyranny elsewhere - Iran. Although the danger exists the protestors of the Green Revolt are merely exchanging an Islamofascist collective for one of a different brand, that is a chance we'll have to take right now. They have been pushed under the Obama bus, victims of a deeply erratic foreign policy. Can someone please get the Obama from underneath that thick layer of egg? We need to keep up exposing the...

The Truth about the Political Spectrum: Use or Lose!

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:10:00 +0000

... or in the words of the incomparable AlfonZo Rachel: "Breast Intentions: Don't Fall for Nanny-Staters' Booby Trap" ... Much of the tranzie world is pursuing democratic principles as the highest value. It is a mistake. Democracy is not an end in itself, but the by-product of the rule of law based on individual rights. This is why the state of democracy in tyrannies is a travesty, only serving the purpose of lending legitimacy to the tyrants.

Playing Dice With Liberty (I): Questions to Our Leaders

peace.practice@gmail.com (Cassandra Troy) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:57:00 +0000

A post under the title "Financial Journalists in Crisis: Did We Fail?" has been up on the main page for the better part of this week. It shows a video produced by the European new media service, EUX.TV. It announces the upcoming convention "Covering The Crisis" of the European Journalists Centre (EJC) to be held on November 9 and 10 in Brussels. The aim appears to be a rare bout of professional introspection. The matter struck me, because the press in general on almost every issue earned...

Financial Journalists in Crisis: Did We Fail?

Have a listen at this, because you won't get that all too often. Financial journalists asking themselves, did we fail? Sit tight around the 1.50 mark when one of them drops an interesting remark. Let us know what you think. We shall be monitoring this convention on 9 and 10 November in Brussels for you.
