Reflections From a Murky Pond

Gentlemen, please be aware that what you see on Facebook, or any other social media platform, may not match reality. Don’t get your hopes up too far, lest you end up disapointed.

Profile Pictures Are Not Authoritative

It’s marketing, my ever-hopeful fellows, and more often than not it bears only a vague resemblance to the truth. The ladies will take what pains they can to present themselves in the most pleasing fashion and, if that takes misrepresentation, so be it.

Gentlemen, we think in terms of hunting. Whether they know it or not, women think in terms of fishing. Those profile pics are just chum to lure us in. 😉

As long as you approach things with a suitable amount of cynicism, rather than complain about these less than truthful profile pics, ask yourself why don’t you do that?

Do you really think that women want to see your sagging gut and gnarly legs in that wifebeater and shorts? Or your podgy face with its too many jowls and chins? 😆

Unsurprisingly, the rabble of OWS have found yet another facet of America to complain about.

OMG! The evil bankers, hedge fund managers, and other Wall St. types have caused the snack chip industry to produce and sell broken chips. Occupy Frito-Lay! The 99% are entitled to chips and salsa! 😆

Kari Noorgard, all details of whom have been scrubbed from the University of Oregon’s website, is – or was; her fate is unknown – an associate professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies. She holds a PhD in Sociology but only a BA in Biology and has do degrees in anything related to “Climatology.”

Please think about that and what it means insofar as the Warmists’ agenda is concerned and what it means for society’s struggle against them.

The Warmists take the fraud, Peter Glieck’s words, “The debate is over!” completely seriously. In their minds Anthropogenic Climate Change, primarily caused by the Civilized World’s CO2 emmissions, is “settled science.”

Anytime anyone claiming to be scientist says that anything more complex than a Natural Law is “settled science” they’re likely not a scientists, but a charlatan trying to sell you something.

You’d most likely be better served by taking a gun or whip to them than by listening to them.

They’re not interested in proving their hypotheses in the wake of so many of them having been proved false or based upon fraudulent and/or erroneous data. They’re interested in researching how to reshape society’s position on the matter to match their own.

That’s the reason why Kari Noorgard is a professor of Environmental Studies and why she’s an honored speaker at the Warmists’ events.

Just as we cannot overhaul a car fleet overnight, we cannot change our ideological superstructure overnight. We must first be aware that this resistance is happening at all levels of our society. If you have to push a heavy weight, it doesn’t mean it can’t be moved, but in order to push it you had better know that you have something heavy and figure out how to move it — where to put the lever to shift the weight.

Yes, and who better to task to find that lever than a sociologist who specializes in: environmental sociology, gender and environment, race and environment, climate change, sociology of culture, social movement,s and the sociology of emotions. Noorgard’s specialty is in using neuro-linguistic programming techniques to reframe issues as bias issues such as racism and sexism in order to provoke her desired responses.

I’m pretty sure, after living through: the Left’s subornation of the public schools system; the creation of “hate crimes” laws; the recent increase in race-baiting involving the Obama Regime; the vilification of Christian churches for their religious views on sexuality; and the way that “bullying” has been redefined, that we can posit what forms that lever would take and how, where, and upon who it would be applied with the most force.

Keep your eyes open. Travel light but load heavy, and always put another round in the enemy after they’re down. Remember always that the pen is mightier than sword only for so long as sword remains sheathed.

Believing in God(s) is crazy! Just ask any Atheist; they’ll be happy to tell you that doing is contrary to all reason and logic. Their science has the universe explained and doesn’t rely on some “Magical Sky Daddy” for it’s creation.

Yeah…And Believing In God(s) Is Crazy?

Yep. The Godless are all about science, reason, and logic – except when they throw out every law of physics currently described by Man in order to explain the creation of the universe. Then they take the absence of God(s) on faith and brook no heresy.

And really? Multiple toroidal dimensions – I think the last count was 11 in order to make their math work – and intersections of dimensional membranes? Really? How is that more than pushing the question back another layer or two instead of answering it?

Reams and reams of paper filled with equations, all predicated upon a particle (graviton) that they can’t even find the other particle (Higgs-Boson) that they think might allow them to eventually figure out to find it, are supposed to be more reason-based and logical than, “So mote it be!”

And Theists are supposedly the crazy ones. 😉

Explaining Atheism is easy; it’s the absolute faith in Nothing. In the old days we simply described it as Nihilism and, if and when their anomie grew problematical, sent them to sanitariums where they could do no harm.

Recently, it was made known to the public at large that University of Oregon faculty member, Kari Noorgard, who holds post-graduate degrees only in Sociology, describe any and all who disagree with the Warmists’ agenda as sick and likened their refusal to accept what the Warmists feed them to racism – to the point that she equated it with the 19th century struggle to end slavery.

You would think that a sociologist would know what kind of response this would engender.

Alas, education isn’t what used to be, especially in the “softer” subjects like Sociology. Noorgard’s few comments on the condemnation she brought down upon herself show that she is shocked by it.

The inflammatory rhetoric and Noorgard’s gross stupidity aside, she does have a point. There is a very strong and direct correlation between “Racism” and “Global Warming.”

Definition

In both Racism and Global Warming the core definitions of what these terms mean and what constitutes the causal factors thereof was ordained by a small minority and no dissent from that dogma is tolerated by them or their believers.

Scope and Blame

In both Racism and Global Warming the scope of causation and the bulk of the blame is placed upon a specific set of individuals.  In both cases it is predominately White populations who are blamed and expected to bear the costs and non-White populations who are excused and slated for tangible benefit under the proposed mitigation / reparation plans.

Individual Results

In both Racism and Global Warming any negative result, occurrence, or finding – no matter how far-fetched – is because of the declared problem and every positive result, event, or circumstance is in spite of the declared problem. No positive outcome is ever accepted as evidence that the problem is less sever than it is purported to be, much less largely nonexistent.

~*~

In fact, both the arguments and the proposed “solutions” for Racism and Global Warming are so fundamentally similar that is clear that we are still fighting the same war we’ve been fighting for several generations – the war to keep our liberty, the fruits of own labor, and the futures of our children. The enemy has couched things in wildly different terms but the nature of the attacks and their agenda have not changed one iota.

And, as we have painfully learned in the last few years, our first response to the shrill cries of “Global Warming” should be the same as those of “Racism.” They should be ignored unless it is convenient to tell the whiner how very little he, she, or it is worth.

Neither cry is anything more than the jabbering howls of Leftists and/or their minority tenants who have no argument of merit. Both are merely cynical and base attempts to silence the opposition through social pressure.

Really! What are creatures like Keri Noorgard, Al Gore, and their fellow travelers but the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, and Jeremiah Wrights of the Global Warming scam? Ignore them or mock them unless you’re forced to reach the conclusion that silencing them is worth the effort and personal costs and consequences.
