In a east-midlands pub. Yowch.

Strafing the beaches at Dunkirk. With the enhancement of Vuvuzela virtuosos.

BTW: How can England presume to have a national football team, when they don't even have a 2-letter ISO code?

Science is not produced through consensus. We'd still be insisting on the Ptolemaic universe, if that were so.

Global warming support is like creationism, it has no repeatable experimental methodology, from the entire cycle of data collection, through model construction and testing of hypothesis.

"Peer review" does not mean "I respect his degree, and assume his methodology is correct, because he's constructed a well supported paper."

"Peer review" is also NOT "Take his data, and his model, and I get the same result".

"Peer review" is independent reproduction of results, and validating assumptions made. This INCLUDES independent gathering of original source data.

Supposed evidence for "Global Warming" is derived from pseudo-scientific, statistical manipulation of suspect and cherry-picked data, which in the end, serves a Malthusian social agenda and results in taxing the very air you breathe.

Comment DISINFO TO DISCREDIT WIKILEAKS / ASSANGE (Score 3, Interesting) 258

The US Gov is undermining CREDIBILITY of Wikileaks, to discourage leakers.

You ARE familiar with the 2008 Army Counterintelligence Agency report, which specifically calls to discredit Wikileaks through disinformation and propaganda, are you not?

The HIGHLY suspect connection of Manning with Greenwald STINKS of a PsyOp, then, hot on the heels comes this tidbit. Where from? Oh! DangerRoom on Wired.com.

I think we can now see wired.com as another polluted information channel, co-opted by the spooks. Leak meaningless true tidbits on intelligence and surveillance to establish/maintain credibility - then use this established route for the insertion of disinformation messages.

The next stage is to plant doubts about Wikileaks among its advocates, who will begin to speculate if the project is not a honeypot, designed to attract and expose leakers.
