A culture of distrust : How India’s ruling class feeds on paranoia
In this week’s installment, “The cult of distrust”, Mehta tackles the pervasive miasma of suspicion (actually, paranoia) that defines public discourse – which he argues is an effect of great societal change: “Basic mores and sensibilities are changing rapidly: new economies of desire are being unleashed in ways we barely fathom, a whole range of social roles, particularly gender roles, are being redefined.Who or what has authority, who or what is valued is no longer clear.” Add to this the failures of governance and an uncertain economic future, and we have the makings of a full-blown crisis. More to the point, Mehta argues, we have a ruling class that is no longer certain of its position, or how to secure it against the winds of change — producing not self-reflection but “intellectual closure and emotional crudity.”
....: In a supply-driven market like India, the media crowd out nuance and considered judgement. Instead of creating shared meaning, it makes us even less confident that we know what other people really think. Public opinion has become* a construct, not a representation of reality.
* A snort of derision might be appropriate at any suggestion this is a change of affairs
Racism at the Federal Reserve
(From The Trenches) - The appointment of Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve Chairwoman highlights a pattern of anti-gentile racial discrimination in high level government appointments. Over the past two decades, more than 50% of Federal Reserve Presidents and 100% of the Chairmen have been non-gentile. Before non-gentile Chairman Benjamin Shalom Bernanke, there was non-gentile Chairman Alan Greenspan. In fact, there hasn’t been a gentile Federal Reserve Chairman/woman in over 25 years, even though gentiles comprise 98% of the population.

OZY hasn’t gone all Ron Paul-ish on you, though Paul’s quip that foreign aid transfers money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries isn’t too far off the mark, actually. Mind you, it is not quite on the mark, either. Foreign aid also transfers taxpayer money to corporations, and it constitutes but the tiniest smidgen of rich-country budgets.
Here’s why we should eliminate foreign aid: It’s bad for poor countries.there are three main reasons we should eliminate foreign aid:
1. Most foreign aid is not intended to reduce poverty.

It is pretty clear that the scientific debate is over, and that the people behind this scam are no longer making any attempt to be honest. I’m not used to dealing with criminals, and am somewhat at a loss for where the conversation must go next.

When has there been a “scientific debate”?
I must have slept during that bit.

“Science 135, global warming scare 110…
For what is believed to be the first time ever in England, an audience of university undergraduates has decisively rejected the notion that “global warming” is or could become a global crisis. The only previous defeat for climate extremism among an undergraduate audience was at St. Andrew’s University, Scotland, in the spring of 2009, when the climate extremists were defeated by three votes.
Last week, members of the historic Oxford Union Society, the world’s premier debating society, carried the motion “That this House would put economic growth before combating climate change” by 135 votes to 110. The debate was sponsored by the Science and Public Policy Institute, Washington DC.
Serious observers are interpreting this shock result as a sign that students are now impatiently rejecting the relentless extremist propaganda taught under the guise of compulsory environmental-studies classes in British schools, confirming opinion-poll findings that the voters are no longer frightened by “global warming” scare stories, if they ever were.”
This is why they refuse to debate.

If you’re not used to dealing with criminal conspiracies a couple tips:
1. Nearly the only way that an organized criminal conspiracy is broken up is by the use of whistleblowers–insiders who spill the beans. Motivation for whistleblowers to cooperate, in this case, is the very likely award of a large portion of the federal grant funds clawed back via a False Claims Act action. What you, and all other concerned parties, can do is to encourage whistleblowers to come forward. A grad student at PSU, or UVa, or any other institution that received federal grant money for “climate research” very likely has information that could blow the entire enterprise out of the water.
2. Be prepared for the continuing reprisals, counter-accusations, and worse that will emanate from the bowels of the conspirators. Their modus operandi is clear. When confronted with reality: Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter-accusations.

You do what I have been doing for the last 3 years, ever since I definitively disproved the “greenhouse effect” with my Venus/Earth temperatures comparison
(the scientific debate has been over ever since): You identify the
Insane Left (and the subornation of all of our authoritative
institutions by it) as the immediate problem–substituting as it does a
political ideology, and outright tyranny, for science–and the underlying
problem, that of a general incompetence among scientists, for letting
climate science go so far wrong as to forget the Standard Atmosphere and
the stable vertical temperature lapse rate structure of the
troposphere. Beyond that, I can only recommend mass civil disobedience
of any and all laws passed during the Obama years, particularly
Obamacare and the anti-scientific EPA regulations (like officially
denoting CO2 an “air pollutant”, and thus subject to strict regulation
under the Clean Air Act).
And you should prepare yourself mentally for increasing forays into governmental tyranny over individuals’ rights–as more and more citizens fail financially–and for actual war (although that is most likely to occur when most of the Baby Boomers are dead).
When my greater discoveries are finally confronted and generally accepted, then our divisions will recede, people will start to really work together in a newly vibrant society, and real progress can be made, in science, religion and modern societies. For now, reason is taking a back seat to tribalism and past historical injustices, both real and imagined, and the world is pushing for war thereby.

Very likely the actual climate will
continue not acting on cue to fulfill AGW’ers predictions. But if we
want to steer this along a bit quicker towards its demise, it might help
if the perception that skeptic scientists are industry crooks was
DESTROYED every time it pops up, rather than simply viewing as some kind
of nuisance. When the larger public comprehends how much effort was put
into smearing skeptics rather than conclusively defending the core AGW
‘science’, that would be blood in the water. There’d be no defense of
that, and the fickle journalists would turn on each other to save their
own skins.

Jason Calley says:
Debate? Never debate facts with liars.
The only way I have found that has any effect is to relentlessly hammer
home the ethics of the matter.
“Your support of unproven CAGW means that REAL environmental problems are ignored. Your actions mean that destructive land use, burning of tropical forests for use in biofuel production, overfishing, groundwater pollution — all these get worse and people die because you are pretending that CAGW is real.”
“Your giant wind farms kill thousands of endangered birds and bats. You pretend to save the environment while you wipe out whole species!”
Hyperbolic? Over the top? Maybe…But these are people who have already thrown out reasonable standards and logic. Punch them (metaphorically) in their ethical gut — if they still have one.

Preposterous. The only people that are
making no attempt to be honest are the global warming deniers. The
evidence for AGW is overwhelming. All you have to point to is dubious
statistics regarding record temps, but you provide no details about how
these statistics were generated.
You deniers are delusinal.

You forgot the ‘sarc’ tag.

“The evidence for AGW is overwhelming.
Perhaps you could share some of this “overwhelming evidence” with the rest of us.
While your little tantrum is amusing, unfortunately it completely misses the point.
The onus is not on the “deniers” to provide statistics, or any other proof for that matter, but rather on the bed-wetters to provide the evidence that establishes their case beyond reasonable doubt.
Surely that is not too much to ask, after 20+ years and billions of taxpayer dollars on so-called “scientific research.”
