I can GUARANTY that this whistleblower/hacker has MUCH more than the 62MB of data
that was released three weeks ago — and will release that additional data if necessary.
The recently-resigned Phil Jones coordinated with A LOT of researchers:
Emails that rocked climate change campaign leaked from Siberian 'closed city' university built by KGB
Don’t let the MSM win this.
Show everybody you know (best ClimateGate clips):
Cripes! Are we going to have to thank the Russians for saving the world from Algore?
Well, duh! Everyone in the world has a vested interest in killing this hoax.
Everyone except the snake oil salesmen who are going to profit from it.
Barbara Boxer should go there to arrest them.
Shhhh. It never happened.
It’s more believable that an insider leaked the files. However, if it really was the Russians, then God bless Russia! How ironic that American capitalism might be saved by former Soviets.
“The leaks scandal has left the scientific community in disarray...”
No, it hasn’t. Just the AGW phonies.
The recently-resigned Phil Jones coordinated with A LOT of researchers:
Well, that explains a lot - - Siberia would have no problem with "global warming", now would it?
"Emalis" (snicker)
It’s ironic that the Norfolk police and Scotland Yard, along with (possibly) Britains intelligence agencies (M15 and M16), are conducting a criminal probe to try to uncover the hacker, yet Phil Jones, Michael Mann, and the rest of the fraudsters remain free and unindicted.
OK, very exciting, but let’s just return to Earth for a while. First of all remember that this is the Daily Mail (phhhhp).
And then let us remember that there are still three possibilities how these mails and computer files ended up in the public domain:
A. A whistleblower
B. A hack attack
C. The folder made ready for a FOI judgement accidentally placed on a public server
“C” is the least talked about possibility, but considering the inept handling of computer code, the inability of finding the right side up in cited data, the erroneous use of statistical methods, etc, etc by these same people, who in his right mind would bet against someone in that organization committing a total F*** U* ?
And finally, if you had got hold of these data (in one way or another) where would you post them to maximize the likelihood of remaining anonymous?
Yeah, the KGB, FSB, Putin-plot story makes great reading, but Occam’s razor it is not.
Time to push the reset button!
OT???

Obama part of group locked up at Russian airport // U.S. delegation stripped of passports as guards demand to inspect plane
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Monday, August 29, 2005
Author: Lynn Sweet
WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) were not allowed to leave a Russian airport Sunday and were locked in a room briefly.
The incident prevented their departure for about three hours, but Obama told the Sun-Times “it ended up not being a very big deal.”
The senators had their passports seized by local officials at an airport in Perm. Obama said the officials demanded, unsuccessfully, to inspect the DC-9 military aircraft being used by the congressional delegation for the trip.

Although he was on a first-time diplomatic mission, Obama has traveled extensively, spending part of his youth in Indonesia and visiting Kenya, where his father was born. He noted that as a back- packing college student he had “a lot less leverage than this time.”
Obama , a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Lugar, its chairman, left Wednesday for a trip to inspect sites where nuclear and biological weapons are slated to be destroyed in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the U.S. group was scheduled to fly from Perm to Kiev, Ukraine. But border guards wanted proof that the group’s aircraft — which Obama said looked like a “mini-Air Force One” — was really an official U.S. government plane, which would be exempt from an inspection.
Robert Gibbs, Obama ‘s spokesman traveling with him, said in an e-mail that “the border guards took our passports and demanded to inspect our aircraft, which we refused. We were moved to a room to wait.”
“At one point they were demanding to inspect virtually everything, including the gifts their representatives at the missile facility had given us.” The border guard said “they were acting on the authority of the FSB,” the Russian intelligence agency.

U.S. Protests Russian ‘Sex Tape’ Used to Smear American Diplomat
Sex, Lies and Videotape in Moscow; Cold War Tactics Merge with the Internet

EXCERPT
American officials say the Russian intelligence agency that replaced the KGB, the Federal Security Service (FSB), produced the video in an attempt to either recruit or discredit the diplomat, Brendan Kyle Hatcher, a 34-year-old married State Department employee who serves as a liaison with religious and human rights groups in Russia.
There were three proxy servers -- not just one -- involved in the "leaking" of the FOIA.zip.
According to RealClimate, the mouthpiece for AGW scientists, "At around 6.20am (EST) Nov 17th, somebody hacked into the RC server from an IP address associated with a computer somewhere in Turkey, disabled access from the legitimate users, and uploaded a file FOIA.zip to our server. They then created a draft post that would have been posted announcing the data to the world that was identical in content of the comment posted on The Air Vent later that day.
Jeff Id, the owner of The Air Vent blog, tells us that the post was made from Saudi Server 212.116.220.100.
The same message, and .zip file, was also posted several hours before the one at the Air Vent, at Steve McIntyre's blog, Climate Audit. According to McIntyre, "The IP address of the commenter at CA was Russian 82.208.87.170."
All three addresses used are proxies.
According to Jeff Id on this Air Vent post explaining the sequence of events, "This is not unsophisticated and made me think of a government agency first. Someone with resources and knowledge. Who’s going to be able get a proxy link from Russia, Saudi Arabia or Turkey and which proxy sent the email to those? They knew what they were doing."
The point is, it could be anyone in any government, or it could simply be a sophisticated techie, who also, if Real Climate is to be believed, knew how to "disable access" on that blog -- someone who might, for example, have gained administrative access through a password.
And none of this answers the question on who actually collected and released the files.
But it makes for a sensational, and misleading, headline.
This University was completely hacked and infiltrated, no doubt.
