“9/11 Questions”?

Over at Stageleft–yeh, a “leftist” blog–the pseudonemous author of that blog is promoting a “9/11 Questions” day. He quotes another (leftist?) writer saying,

Why September 11th?

Because it is a powerful and symbolic day to take a step back and look what has happened to our country in the last six years. Is it “inappropriate” or “disrespecful” to take the day off, reflect, and express your dissent (quietly and personally or loudly and publicly) or rather to go about your business as if this was just another a normal day?

Stealth terrorist sympathy. A commenter there raises the issue,

I’m a little hesitant about participating in anything that says “9/11 questions” since that has become a bit of a code phrase for kooks who think the buildings had bombs in them, or didn’t fall because freakin’ jets flew into them.

Exactamundo. The blog’s author tellingly (and disingenuously, IMO) responds,

Everybody I know has at least one question about September 11, 2001

Everybody he knows. Questions. Unspecified questions, naturally, so as to make the weirdest and most insane acceptable?

I dunno, folks. The code phrase, said in a breathless whine, of terrorist apologists everywhere, “what has happened to our country in the last six years…” is also a bit revealing. Stageleft cites the Maher Arar case as an example of “9/11 Questions” that he’ll be asking. Go ahead. Read the linked Wiki article (it’s no better or worse than most presentations of the case). I’ll wait.

Back, now?

So the Maher Arar case is apparently another case of official anarcho-tyrannyt in action. So? Anarcho-tyranny is a result of 9/11? I don’ty think so. What about before then? What about Ruby Ridge and Waco? Folks there weren’t just sent on a “vacation” to Syria. Vicky Weaver was killed for “threatening” Lon Horiuchi with her baby daughter (yeh, that baby’s a terrible weapon, Mr. Lon-I-shot-the-mother-and-got-away-with-it). 83, correction, 82 people at Waco (mostly women, children and the elderly) were murdered by “feddle gummint” agents (despite what John Danforth’s whitewash says: they’re still dead, John and ALL of them killed by “feddle gummint” agents).

Why no questions from leftists like Stageleft about these murders by the “feddle gummint”?

Oh, perhaps because the coverup of Ruby Rudge and the massacre at Waco were done at the behest of a “Democrappic” administration.

Sure, there are things to hold this administration’s feet to the fire for, but few of them are 9/11 related (and cases like Arar’s should be left to his own–Canadian–government to seek redress). Certainly one cannot easily draw a line between 9/11 and the persecution of Martha Stewart or that of Ramos and Compean, as but two examples of “feddle gummint” persecutors and in(ve)stigators abusing American citizens since 9/11, though unrelated to that day’s events.

Nah, “9/11 Questions” is just a cover for more of the same from the anti-civilization, anti-American bushwah from that menagerie of socialists, communists, surrenderists that comprises the self-lobotomized, mindwashed left.

(Soon, I need to turn my attention to the self-lobotomized, mindwashed right as well, I suppose, but the Leftists are so much more disnigenuously annoying.)

Science Heresy

It took me a long time to get through James Hogan’s “Kicking the Sacred Cow” (also available here in eBook format)–not because the subject matter was all that complicated (Hogan know how to write about “hard science” for the literate non-scientist) but because the citations of one example after another after another of the priests of science dogma crucifying honest inquiry with lies, damned lies and peer reviewed lies. All part of the religion of Recieved “Science”.

Made my head nearly explode from the rise in my blood pressure…

And so it goes with Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Let me suggest a moderately long article by Freeman Dyson as an intro to the kind of thinking that I once thought of as typical of the scientific mind engaging in speculation but which–alas!–is little seen in such areas as a discussion of AGW.

My first heresy says that all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. Of course, they say, I have no degree in meteorology and I am therefore not qualified to speak. But I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. The models solve the equations of fluid dynamics, and they do a very good job of describing the fluid motions of the atmosphere and the oceans. They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand. It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models.

Do read, HERETICAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. And point the next AGW pinhead you meet to it, too.
