Global Warming: The Alaskan governor who knew polar bears weren't endangered says the planet isn't either and challenges the oracle of climate change. Al Gore says despite the CRU e-mails, the situation is of the utmost gravity. In a Dec. 9 Washington Post op-ed, Sarah Palin noted that the Climate-gate e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia "reveal that leading climate 'experts' deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to 'hide the decline' in global temperatures and tried to silence their critics from publishing in peer-reviewed journals." This did not sit well with Gore. "The entire North...

Not one person in ten thousand has read the infamous “protocols” written at the turn of the 20th Century in Russia. It is interesting as an historical artifact. What gave it currency and what caused it to be widely accepted was that it validated the anti-Jewish prejudice of many in Russia, Europe and the United States at that time. The Protocols were introduced at a time when the old aristocratic order was breaking down and meritocracy coupled with capitalism was gaining ascendency. The Protocols supposedly “revealed” that a grand Jewish conspiracy was bent on world control via domination of the...

Wall Street Titan's Role Shown in Journal Analysis; Firm Says Problems Hidden Goldman Sachs Group Inc. played a bigger role than has been publicly disclosed in fueling the mortgage bets that nearly felled American Insurance Group Inc. Goldman was one of 16 banks paid off when the U.S. government last year spent billions closing out soured trades that AIG made with the financial firms. A Wall Street Journal analysis of AIG's trades, which were on pools of mortgage debt, shows that Goldman was a key player in many of them, even the ones involving other banks. Goldman originated or bought...

What these two men are saying when using the term "ideological" is Muslim. It is the theology of the Koran. It is what Allah would have Obama do.

In the meantime, Congress sits pretty with its own health care cemented for long, healthy life times.

The more we learn about the purloined e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, the more it resembles Watergate. As was the case in 1974, there will be no one particular spectacular revelation, but rather an unremitting and unrelenting daily drip-drip that ultimately brings down the house. The latest gem comes from none other than Rajendra Pauchari, the head of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change who’s not trained in climatology. Without the IPCC, there would be no cap-and-tax legislation awaiting debate in the Senate; there would be no meeting in Copenhagen, where next month...

Jesse Ventura wants to talk. He's on the phone, growling. "You want an exclusive?" The guy hates the press. During his governorship, he famously printed press passes that read, "Media Jackal." Why's he calling now? "My new show on TV," he says. Ventura says he would have given the interview to the Star Tribune, but last time he got the shaft. The paper said he could only fight when he knew the other guy's moves first—a cheap shot at his long ago pro wrestling career. "So I thought I'd talk to you instead," Ventura says. "Give you an exclusive." He...

Warming Scandal: The architect of climate fraud steps down, the creator of the infamous "hockey stick" is investigated, and Australia's parliament defeats cap-and-trade. We love the smell of truth in the morning. As the high priests of what Czech President Vaclav Klaus has called a "religion" prepare their pilgrimage to worship the earth goddess Gaia in Copenhagen, complete with humanity being sacrificed, the heresy of climate truth is finally being heard. The gospel of climate change, once expressed with the messianic fervor of an Elmer Gantry by Al Gore, is now expressed with the stammering incoherence of an Elmer Fudd...

“They’re sitting around talking about how they want to take their country back,” said local filmmaker Chris Townsend, who finally finished his controversial movie. “Yes We Can” is about four rural Virginians and their plot to assassinate Barrack Obama at a campaign visit in Lynchburg. Townsend says he based the characters off people he’s met in his life. “There’s people out there that aren’t tolerant of other races or ethnicities and it’s interesting to me to see that type of ignorance,” said Townsend. He says his edgy production almost got shut down by the secret service. The director didn’t give...

The British scientist at the heart of a scandal over climate-change research temporarily stepped down Tuesday as director of a prominent research group amid an internal probe that follows the release of hacked emails involving him and other scientists. People in Copenhagen form the logo of a campaign to cut carbon emissions to 350 parts per million. The University of East Anglia in the U.K. said Phil Jones, head of the university's Climatic Research Unit, had decided to step aside from the director's post. The announcement comes less than a week before world leaders are set to meet for a...

(AP Photo/Manish Swarup) (CNSNews.com) – Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, is calling on Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) to conduct hearings on a possible conspiracy between some of the world’s most prominent climatologists to, among other things,...

ClimateGate: Britain's Climate Research Unit now says it will release all its data. Does that include the data that have been shredded, deleted and denied publication? In a statement released Saturday by the University of East Anglia, where the CRU is located, it was announced that all unit data, including data that had been denied climate skeptics, would soon be released to prove this is much ado about nothing. Unimpressed by the news is David Holland of Northampton, a grandfather with a background in electrical engineering, who is seeking prosecution of the CRU scientists involved in suppressing and even destroying...

Money on the table — perhaps $10 billion a year or more — could help close a deal in Denmark next month and keep climate talks moving toward a new global treaty in 2010. But if poorer nations see too little offered up front, the U.N. conference could end in discord. The money would help developing countries cope with ocean flooding, drought and other effects of climate change, while also helping them cut down on emissions of global-warming gases. The funds might eventually come from new sources, such as a tax on airline flights, but negotiators for now are seeking...

The message is clear – we are all going to die from swine flu. It spreads fast, it is dangerous, and it must be feared – says the World Health Organization. But worry not – there is a way to save yourself. Just get a flu shot – and purchase a remedy for the deadly virus. Those are the instructions from the WHO. Read more

He strikes the flippin’ mother lode! At least that’s what happened to private investigator Derrick Roach at the National City (San Diego) ACORN office. Yep, Roach scored big-time on the cockroaches of ACORN when he staked out their San Diego workplace. According to señor Roach via BigGovernment.com, after the release of the San Diego ACORN sting videos—which my daughter Hannah, James O’Keefe, and Andrew Breitbart dropped on the Nation’s head—and following Governor Schwarzenegger’s call for a probe into this batty zoo, Roach took it upon himself to get busy and see if he could ferret out more funky filth from...

These are the emails that should have Professor Phil Jones most worried about his future. Jones, head of the CRU unit whose emails were leaked, has been under most fire so far over one email in particular in which he boasted of using a ‘“trick" to “hide the decline” that would have otherwise spoiled his graph showing temperatures soaring ever-upward. But far more serious - at least in a legal sense - may be his apparent boasting of destroying data to stop sceptics from checking this alarmist work. If, as some emails suggest, he destroyed it to thwart FOI requests...

COMPUTER hackers have broken into Britain's leading climate science research centre, making public thousands of private emails between top climate change scientists. The messages – more than 2000 emails and 3000 documents – lay bare bitter disagreements about the cause of climate change. In one email, the head of Britain's Climatic Research Unit, Phil Jones, says he is "cheered" by news of the sudden death of a prominent Australian climate sceptic, John L. Daly, who died of a heart attack at his Launceston home in 2004. Others show scientists referring to sceptical colleagues as "prats", "charlatans" and "idiots". The emails...

We, the citizens of the United States of America, aware of our civil rights and in an effort to stop Al Gore and the I.P.P.C. from instilling false fears in the minds of the American People, hereby express our disapproval of Al Gore's and the I.P.P.C.'s refusal to hold a debate in-regards to Global Warming. We are aware of more than 30,000 scientist who disagree with the Global Warming theories Al Gore and the I.P.P.C. are trying to push. On the basis of the above, we demand Al Gore and the I.P.P.C. hold a fair and equal debate with Scientist...

GLOBAL WARMING JUNK SCIENCE PROVEN A CONSPIRACY—- ManBearPig Is Finally Dead! I’m serial! Recently “discovered” classified emails and files prove that the junk scientists behind the global warming movement knowingly perpetrated a fraud on the global community. The files were posted on the internet– HERE. The Telegraph reported: If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. 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...

"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"

American Grand Jury has incorporated the Nancy Pelosi/Barack Obama criminal complaints within its Presentments. The Presentments were served on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville, TN on November 6th, 2009.

You know the gold bugs have really gone mainstream, when conspiracy theories about tungsten-filled gold bars are discussed on CNBC. This morning, newsletter writer Howard Ruff was asked by Joe Kernan whether Fort Knox was filled with gold ingots actually filled with tungest -- a much cheaper substance of similar weight. If you were confused about what the hell that was all about, we discussed this last month. We're not sure what to make of it, but, just as many people want an audit of the Federal Reserve, the gold bugs demand an audit of Fort Nox. Here's a paper...

In an ironic twist that leaves you scratching your head, ACORN has sued the Federal Government, claiming that the bills cutting their funding were unconstitutional. If religion is the last refuge of a scoundrel, I guess we can now say that the Constitution is the last refuge of the community organizer. It's almost surreal to see them try and protect their criminal conspiracy with the very document they work so hard to undermine.

“Gold Finger - A New Take On Operation Grand Slam With A Tungsten Twist” I’ve already reported on irregular physical gold settlements which occurred in London, England back in the first week of October, 2009. Specifically, these settlements involved the intermediation of at least one Central Bank [The Bank of England] to resolve allocated settlements on behalf of J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank – who DID NOT have the gold bullion that they had sold short and were contracted to deliver. At the same time I reported on two other unusual occurrences: 1] - irregularities in the publication of the...

There are a handful of political poisons that conservatives fall victim to swallowing that inevitably lead to "death" at the polls. I could talk about the lack of political fortitude (call it like it is), or even the inability, to articulate a clear and concise message to the people in a world where cryptic political double-speak is considered graceful, but for today, the focus is placed on the importance of who should be, and who should not be, allowed to walk under the banner of the Conservative Movement. Liberals always hate the analogy, "birds of a feather flock together," because...

Isn't this interesting.... I am on the west coast, in Oregon. And those who know me, know I have been doing a lot of writings in the last year that have been ...critical... of Obama to the say the very least. I have been investigating his British Birth, and making inquires at the Hawaiian Department of Health with UIPA requests. Last night while playing an online game (WOW) my husband noticed his latency just shoot through the roof. From 71 to about 340 ms. After resetting the modem a couple of times, he got angry enough to call Verizon and...

I love a conspiracy theory, how about you? Although this one isn't necessarily new -- lots of folks have opined about the convenient coincidence of an escalating so-called pandemic mixed with an under-supply of vaccinations while the country debates healthcare reform -- it's all the more delicious when it comes from a rock star of some note. With that in mind, when singer, songwriter, and leader of the now defunct alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins suggests swine flu "is not a naturally occurring virus," and that "President Obama has declared a national emergency" when "there isn’t one," you have to...

OCTOBER 29--A federal judge today dismissed a lawsuit brought by individuals claiming that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and, as a result, does not meet the qualifications to be president. Along with bouncing the lawsuit, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter eviscerated the controversial lawyer representing the "birthers" who sued Obama. In a 30-page order filed today, Carter stated that he was "deeply concerned" that attorney Orly Taitz "may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this court." Carter, who was appointed to the federal bench in 1998 by President Bill Clinton, noted that he had...

Local media coverage of Tarek Mehanna, the Sudbury, MA "wannabe" terrorist, was extensive but it rather limited in scope. The media stories focused on how shocked, shocked people were that an educated, affluent young Muslim was accused of planning to commit terrorist activities. And especially Tarek Mehanna, that gentle soul, his neighors and classmates couldn't believe that he wanted to wage jihad and kill kufirs (non-believers). The other angle frequently reported was that Tarek was an incompetent wannabe terrorist...People wouldn't be so smug though, if Tarek and co-conspirator Ahmed Abousamra had pulled off a Mumbai-type attack. There is much more...

Former Vice President Al Gore a few years ago advised Internet behemoth Google about "aspects of search quality." Such was reported by the New Yorker in its October 12 issue (subscription required). By themselves, the following paragraphs from this 6500-word piece don't mean much. However, given the ongoing concerns about Google's political leanings and how its search algorithms might be manipulated to favor liberal news outlets over conservative points of view, the very idea that Gore might have had any input to this process is worrisome to say the least. So, a few years ago, Gore raised some concerns about...

(NaturalNews) Prepare to have your world rocked. What you're about to read here will leave you astonished, inspired and outraged all at the same time. You're about to be treated to some little-known information demonstrating why seasonal flu vaccines are utterly worthless and why their continued promotion is based entirely on fabricated studies and medical mythology. If the whole world knew what you're about to read here, the vaccine industry would collapse overnight. This information comes to you courtesy of a brilliant article published in The Atlantic (November 2009). The article, written by Shannon Brownlee and Jeanne Lenzer, isn't just...

As the dollar plummets, Sarah Palin has taken up the dialogue on behalf of America’s best interests even as our elected President schemes with George Soros to move our nation precipitously closer to Socialism, and perhaps even a one-world currency. ...Palin links the dependence on foreign oil and large U.S. deficits to declines in the dollar . “We can see the effect of this in the price of gold, which hit a record high today in response to fears about the weakened dollar,” Palin wrote. Palin’s power for using her Facebook page to affect public opinion is not to be...

I'm watching a collection of old news footage from the JFK assassination on the History Channel right now, and was wondering if any Freepers have any theories about what really happened. I figure with the great wealth of knowledge here on Free Republic, there's got to be some pretty good theories waiting to be shared.

Is there anything left to be said—or seen—when it comes to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? Just you wait. JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America, a two-part, four-hour special airing on History [Sunday, October 11, 9/8c and Monday, October 12, 9/8c] takes viewers back to November 22, 1963 and tells the story via a timeline using only archival news footage, much of which will be new even to assassination buffs. There is no narration (sorry, Peter Coyote). There are no talking heads. The project’s exec producers Nicole Rittenmeyer and Seth Skundrick used a similar technique in last year’s...

On Sunday night, the History channel be gins a remarkable three-hour, two-part program on the assassination of JFK, perhaps the best on that subject you will ever see. And even if you think you've seen it all and can't bear to see it again, well, then think again.

A judge in Minnesota has sentenced three men for exporting high-tech carbon-fiber to the China Academy of Space Technology in violation of U.S. export laws. U.S. District Judge Michael Davis sentenced Jian Wei Ding, 51, of Singapore, to three years and 10 months in prison. Kok Tong Lim, 37, of Singapore, was sentenced to just over one year of confinement because of his cooperation. Ping Cheng, 46, of Manhasset, N.Y., drew one year of probation because also cooperated.

I do not like being called a terrorist, especially by Obama. "I have been banned from one political forum because I attacked Obama's "change" of mind in regard to the Patriotact or the wiretap bill. I have been attacked by conservatives for my call to end the Patriotact."

Apologies for the tease (can you post pics here? I'm a FR noob...) but follow the jump for perhaps one of the rarest photographs in existence. Of the beloved Bella Pelosi. Prepare yourselves...

Coming up in multiple discussions of late has been the subject of "Conspiracy Theory." Former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones was primarily pushed out of his post because he signed a statement sympathetic to those who preach that the government was somehow involved in orchestrating 9/11. More recently in the debate over Glenn Beck, the talk show star's opponents (both on the left and the wimpy right) have tried to suggest that the problem with the media sensation is that he's a "conspiracy theorist" or that he cavorts with those who harbor such sympathies. And who could forget the waves...

I am a proud card-carrying, member of the “vast right-wing conspiracy.” The phrase is back with a vengeance. Whenever Democrats start losing the battle of ideas, it has to be because of a conspiracy. It can’t be because the ideas are old, worn and without substance. In the 24/7, talk radio, blogosphere media world, old and worn is just old and worn, which is why conservative talk radio is commercially viable and liberal talk radio isn’t. Even the ombudsman of The New York Times had to admit they were off their mark in completely missing the Van Jones and ACORN...

In 1998, then First Lady Hillary Clinton famously observed that a “vast right-wing conspiracy” was subverting her husband’s presidency. A decade later, a similar gang of Republican miscreants has mobilized to bring down the Obama administration and healthcare reform. Recent conservative attacks resulted in the firing of Van Jones. Didn’t liberals learn anything from the coordinated assaults on the Clinton administration? Why isn’t there a left-wing “conspiracy” to counter the kamikaze tactics of the right? The conservative attack machine has three components. The first is political. Conservatives have adopted what Clinton adviser, Sidney Blumenthal, termed the perpetual campaign. As soon...

Ask Pakistanis why the United States needs to expand its embassy here in the capital and you'll hear a host of alarming answers. It's a cover for the construction of a Guantanamo-like prison. It's part of a U.S. attempt to colonize Pakistan. It's the first step in a covert plan to take over Pakistan's nuclear weapons. What you don't hear is the reason cited by American officials: the need for a bigger embassy operation to better manage the increased financial aid that Washington will be channeling to Pakistan in coming months... Embassy officials have held briefings for Pakistani reporters to...

A new website called 9/22 Warning was registered on 9/13 and is laying claim that the US Government will lay siege to the city of Chicago on 9/22 with a nuclear attack. The site explains how a sequel to 9/11 could occur on 9/12 or 9/22 rather than on 9/11 itself, but it goes further to explain why Chicago might be the alleged target this time around. Some of the "supporting information" that it tries to use to make it's point are tidbits that include: - 9/22/2009 is the first day of fall ("fall" being the operative word here).Well considering...

Yes, but is Glenn Beck good for the conservative movement? After all, even if the man who seriously wondered whether the fasces symbol on the back of a 1917 dime meant that the US government under Wilson was promoting fascism is a little excitable, and, by his own admission, a “clown,” many rock ribbed conservatives seem to have adopted this paranoid waif as one of their own.

Was there, saw the masses, great crowd.

Michelle Malkin asked "Who’s behind “Islam on Capitol Hill?” today. Part of the answer is Sheikh Ahmed Dewidar who, shortly after 9/11, implied Jews were complicit in the mass-murder of the 2,976. On June 6, 2006, the Steven Stalinsky wrote about it in the New York Sun: Within weeks of September 11, 2001, an Egyptian sheik serving as Al-Azhar University's representative in America and an imam at the Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque of New York City, Muhammad al-Gamei'a, was interviewed at an unofficial Al-Azhar University Web site, www.lailatalqadr.com. Sheik al-Gamei'a returned to Egypt shortly after his interview was translated....
