CLIMATEGATE: hacked documents may prove scientists have been skewing climate data in favor of global warming theories

….one scientist wrote: “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

America: And we allow such behavior to continue…

16.08.2009 (10:29 am) – Filed under: Extremists & Religion,Unmitigated Sons of Bitches

What is great about America? Many things, particularly in this discussion, America allows you the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion. No matter if you’re Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindi or Satanic, we allow you the opportunity to express yourselves, within the boundaries of “non-violent” protest, by gathering, discussions, open-air-time on t.v. and radio, the printed press, etc. We give authorization through government permits to have cultural and religious gatherings on public property as long as you abide by the same set of rules, which is, to allow everyone the opportunity to view your message, without regard to their religious beliefs. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. There are no double standards.

We allow “Arab Days”, “Cinco De Mayo”, “Ramadan”, “Christmas”, “Chanukah”, “Kwanzaa”, etc. etc.

In fact, “allow” shouldn’t even be used because we accept these holidays without issue, without really thinking about it. It just “is”.

During these holidays, festivals, gatherings, etc. everyone is allowed the opportunity to express their beliefs in a manner befitting a rational and educated society that abides by a set of laws that protects the citizens from violence. You’re allowed to say your peace. However, if you’re in public and someone has a video camera, they’re allowed, by law to video tape everything they see. No matter if you’ve signed a waiver or not, no matter if they’re also recording audio. You’re in public, you have no “right to privacy” when you do something in the public eye.

What’s my point?


This is totally wrong! The police should have stepped in and taken control of this situation and protected the videographer’s rights to shoot their video without being harassed by these “security guards”. The only things these thugs were “securing” was the hidden agenda of the folks orchestrating this event.

this is simply outrageous….

of course i hate the media. especially smart-assed punk bitches that sit behind a mic and poke fun at everything coming and going. must be the reason i don’t spend much time watching comedians. i pretty much hate watching people be made a fool of. sure, in real-life, among friends, it’s ok to poke at each other from time to time… i don’t really like seeing folks being poked at over a shortcoming, other than sheer stupidity from a semi-intelligent person. no, if a person is mentally handicapped, i don’t like to see them on the receiving end of something… but this, this simply takes the cake:

Check this out.

Most of the time, I like FoxNews. I believe the actual news programs are more fairly balanced than the weak minded leftist sympathizers at CNN. The other cable news programs are mostly trash. I cannot believe they’d allow something like this to air. It baffles me that a professional organization like FoxNews would allow this. Canadians and their military have been one of our best allies through the ages. I am disgraced than America would be represented in this manner.

Just another reflection of the mind-set of 20ish and 30-something Americans and how they attempt to make a joke out of everything. Grow up people. It’s about time we took things more seriously and got out of the comedy routines.

This story is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the stupid.

25.06.2003 (3:01 am) – Filed under: Unmitigated Sons of Bitches

So I help a lot of people. Yea, as hard to believe as it is, it’s true. I help people all the time, for free. That’s right, free. I’m not trying to get saint-hood here and I’m not blowing my own horn, even though it seems that way. I am telling you all this because you need a little background for this blog entry.

I am a highly dedicated volunteer firefighter, 18 years worth. I still receive the “Most Calls” award from my department for responding to the most calls per year… In fact, I’ve received it the last two years in a row and 4 out of the last 8 years I’ve been in the department. I’ve been named “Firefighter of the Year” 3 times in the course of the last 8 years. This coupled with working two full-time jobs (those that know me, know I stay busy), plus I help friends run an “Outfitter” company.. for free. I answer thousands of computer-help-related emails per year, for free. I sit in a chatroom, one that I created as a spin-off to a computer-help-related website I’ve built over the years, and answer computer-help-related questions in real-time, for free, every day.

Every now and then, I’ll get involved with someone that irritates me. Ok. We all do that. Most of us will overlook the irritation and work with the person or help them out. Big deal. I do that all the time.

Folks, I found someone that absolutely baffles me, we’ll call him “Numbnuts” for the purpose of this discussion. I’ve answered literally hundreds of emails from Numbnuts over the course of the last few months. Some of the emails are genuine questions that only myself or someone “in the know” can answer, they’re not general computer related issues, they’re specialty items only a select few know the answers to. Over time, these emails have progressed from the object-oriented to the obscure. I expressed my intent to help Numbnuts because he’s in China, behind the great firewall thereof. He’s a foreign national, living in a hostile environment, expressing himself in religious ways not appreciated by the communist/socialist/maoist regime in power (to which he once replied to me by saying: “…communists are good for christianity, the more they oppress, the easier it is to get converts.”) — now there’s something fucked up with that statement, but that’s a different subject that I’m not covering here.

I’ve freely given him advice on firewalls, routers, connectivity issues, PGP, proxies, hardware and MS based software issues, among other things. I’ve advised him on personal privacy and turned him onto many, many items of interests as it pertains to persecution by the Chinese government that he was (how the hell this happened I dunno) previously unaware of.

He’s even used me (chat/email) during visits to other peoples residences while he worked on their computers, then billed them for it…. ! (an exclamation point is all I have to say about that).

Numbnuts became interested in linux. Being a linux admin, I of course did the honorable thing and offered to pass on what was taught to me. I offered to assist him in learning linux and the ins/outs of linux desktops. My personal favorite linux flavor is RedHat, it’s easy for the newbie to learn, so I helped him get started and taught him about ISO’s, where to download it from, get the documentation online, etc. I taught him how to install it, how to get started and some basic functions. I helped him with his first googling of info… God did I help him with google. Numbnuts is the kind of person that wants you to hand him everything on a silver platter. I’ve had to go to the point of completely brushing him off during very busy times of the day because he doesn’t understand the FACT that I am busy and I cannot dedicate my entire day to his little problems. He continually went into IRC to speak with me, even though I told him to EMAIL me specific problems and I would get to ’em when I could. I’m not talking one or two times, I told him this no less than 10 times…. finally I had to send him an email and speak to him like he’s a little kid (he’s like 37 or so) and tell him in as simple terms as I possibly could, again, that the best way to get in touch with me is email. Something finally clicked in the moron’s brain. He stated “..I finally get it, email you.” Or something to that affect.

So, tonight, I was helping him take out some stuff in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. He fucked that up. Didn’t get things back in there that he should have. I gave him explicit step-by-step instructions, 1, 2, 3, do this, do this, it will look like this, copy here, paste here.. blah blah blah. Nope. He couldn’t do it. Reported back to me and in the interim, like some kind of dumbass, he rebooted the system, without me telling him to. Because this idiot wouldn’t take my advice and put linux on one of the other 10 machines he seems to have charge over, he setup a dual boot on his primary workstation… would he contact me from another machine while we worked on this one? No. He rebooted the box, virtually breaking it apart. Ok. Sure, I could get it to come back up, if I had access to it or he had enough experience to at least explain the situation to me or what is on the screen at a given time. He emailed me with: “….I rebooted the box, now it won’t go passed…. won’t boot.. nothing works….” blah. blah. blah. Well, we all know what happened, he borked his startup. It’s not un-fixable by no means.. but if you haven’t ever tried to recover a linux startup via email or chat while speaking to a moron.. let me tell you, you might as well grab a yank of hair out of your head, cause it’s gonna happen before the conversation is over.

Anyway, I told him, since he didn’t have anything important on the machine yet, frankly I think he’d fucked up more than he’d fixed, I told him to reboot the box with the Redhat 1 disk in and reinstall. He replies back in a form of language I’ve never seen before. I reply and ask him to speak “english only”, he replies with a smart-ass comment…. Then I reply back to him that I wouldn’t be helping him anymore…. he replies back a list of smart-ass comments… I finally send him an email explaining that I didn’t want to speak to him again, reported him to his ISP, of which, I am very familiar with the ToS ;) So all of a sudden, after months of helping this asshole, he turns asshole because…. because… only thing I can think of.. because he’s too goddamn stupid to understand anything we’ve done….

Needless to say, I am extremely pissed off right now.. and it’s two hours since last contact. It’s people like this that take advantage of people like me and decrease the number of people like me in the world. You want to know why there’s so many assholes in the world? Guess what, the above is one more link in the chain. We “do gooders” can only take so much life being sucked out of us before the steam comes to a head and we pop.

You know what pisses me off about authors of news articles?

21.01.2003 (2:52 am) – Filed under: Unmitigated Sons of Bitches

They write a catchy headline, which I become interested in, then reading a bit, I realize I don’t really know what’s going on. The author continues to write the entire article without thinking “people may not know what this is about, I better give them the basics”, then I lose interest in the article, wasting 5 min’s of my time, becoming a little more dumb in the process.

The Media, College Punks, Al-Queda and Other Ignorant Fuckheads.

30.09.2002 (1:09 am) – Filed under: Unmitigated Sons of Bitches

It’s been said time and time again, I really don’t care, it needs to be driven home like a sharp wooden stick through the pecker of a child molester:

The majority of the media, are fucking nuts. God damn! What a breakthrough! Someone just figured out that the media moguls are full of shit! As astounding as this sounds, I believe someone’s already mentioned this, a couple hundred times.

But what might you ask has given rise to my most recent rant surrounding the media? Folks, I’m not one to beat around the bush. We can argue this in email all you want: The media, full of themselves, are again pouring out sensitive information that *could* cost lives. A little restraint goes along way, especially when reporting about “agents in place”, behind enemy lines.

Sure, we all know there’s agents everywhere. Behind every street corner from Khartoum to Bangkok. The black helicopters are just waiting to storm into the Colonel’s Bunker and take all 101 “super sekret!”, highly classified files containing the video of the death of Jimmy Hoffa. Horses ass.

The problem with “agents” is, you’re not sure they’re there, until CNN reports it. Sure you *think*, but when the Communist News Network proclaims that Mossad has agents in Pakistan, uncovering vast riches of intel concerning the Taliban, do you not think Al-Queda begins watching their asses a little more closely?

I’m sick and tired of reading, from our own press, about our military conducting an operation in the Arabian Peninsula, preparing for a CIA incursion into Iraq. I don’t want to know this, until all of our boys are home safe. Sure, it’s news worthy. Sure, it’s “freedom of the press”, but with “rights” comes “responsibility”. It’s the responsibility of every citizen of these United States to first and foremost, protect the lives of others. By which I mean, yes, the First Amendment to the Constitution grants us “Freedom of the Press”, however, it’s an _Amendment_, meaning it comes AFTER the Constitution.

For those a little rusty on their history, I’ll show you an excerpt from the Constitution of the United States of America:

First, the “Preamble” to the Constitution:

“….We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Folks, this is the very first thing written in the Constitution. The first amendment, granting the Freedom of Speech does not predicate the Preamble. The Preamble specifically states: “….provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

The media, in their infinite wisdom, will pick and choose which part of United States Law they would like to acknowledge at a particular time. Yes, they have the right to say what they want, as long as they understand they’re to be accountable for misrepresentation of “FACT”. Here’s where I get to the good part: Let’s use a little fucking restraint, shall we? Why the hell would our own (WAVE THE AMERICAN FLAG HERE!) media outlets publish information that would jeopardize the lives of our own people? For that matter, why should they publish information that would jeopardize the lives of ANYONE, from any nation?

I’m not talking censorship, I’m not looking for that. What I am looking for is a little common-fucking-sense. If something you’re to publish may jeopardize the lives of others, it’s your responsibility, as a human-fucking-being, to not do it! How god damn simple must it be?

Frankly, it’s as much the “Average American Citizen’s” fault as it is the media. The average Joe on the street is typically completely fucking stupid, let alone being utterly stupid about International Affairs. In every country, most people are dumb as bricks. In America, not only do we need to contend with that, but the American People have no fucking clue about Foreign Affairs. In America, our people look for “Shock Press”. The more shocking the better and we cry foul when the government tries to usurp the efforts of some Commie-Shithead-Reporter that tries to feed the masses by pumping us full of bleeding edge material surrounding the newest intelligence effort. To hell with the death toll! We want our motherfucking news, new, fresh, and right fucking now! To hell with the casualty count! We want the scoop! We know the government is up to something! They’re the government!

You stupid fucking moron, what the hell do you think they’re suppose to do? Fuck you bunch of bleeding heart mother fuckers! I get absolutely fucking ill thinking about you sons of bitches that think we should “mind our own business”. Can’t you fucking see? The whole world, whether you like it or not, look at America for help and support in their own little conflicts. Unbeknownst to eighty percent of the World, we had a hand in the Falkland Islands War, when the British kicked a little ass. Sure, you didn’t see it, we wanted to help the .uk look strong, and they are… in recent times, it hasn’t seemed as such because America was leading the fight for democracy in the free world.

There’s some nasty people in this world. If they’d ever ban together and attempt a global coup, with countries like the United States and Great Britain not only battling the external enemies but also the enemies from within, it will be a very bad day indeed. Try as we might, we cannot fight the World and win. Although a band of enemies is bad, an entire World of enemies, with different objectives but with one common goal; To undermine the powers of the United States, Great Britain and the U.N., is worse.

Yea, you frilly fucking college crowd, with your high ideals and subjective reasoning. Your “left is right, right is wrong” mentality. Your undying love for nature, your beliefs in the “flower power” and “peace until death”. Listen you little fucking near-pubescent-snipe, I live in the real fucking world, where the “underdogs” are trying to kill people. Where the Edi Amin’s of the world gang rape 100,000 of their fellow countrymen. Where the former leftenants of the world go AWOL, take over a small country, crown themselves “Prince”, wear the uniform of marching band field commander and reign havoc over their subjects as if they’re satan incarnate.

For once, I’d love to see some of college mop heads & commie reporters get dragged into combat, not with the United States G.I.’s, but between two foreign powers. Let them see the atrocities the Guerrillas inflict on their captives. Let the “flower-power-youth” and “flagg burning reporters” note first hand the pain inflicted by a Guerrilla leader and his desire to shove a bamboo shoot up someone’s rectal canal.

In closing, (yea, it’s about that time), I’d like to first thank the folks that have taken the time to read yet another rant of mine. Of course I understand that the majority of the people that have read this have misinterpreted most of what I said, you’ve not taken the time to read it fully or you’ve injected some of your own thoughts into my words. How do I know this? Because I deal with many people through email on a daily basis. I see where people overlook or completely ignore the written word on web pages at every opportunity. I see people clearly not following written directions. I know that most people have the I.Q.’s of moths. No big deal, I really don’t give a fuck.

Although there’s a minority of those that have read this that actually see what I am talking about…. this article wasn’t meant for you. It was meant for the “others”. Maybe it will shed an infinitesimal blink of light on their horrible existence. I doubt it. Most of the people I target with these rants get pissed off about one quarter of the way through and hit “back”. More than likely, they’ll never read the bottom few paragraphs, so they won’t mind me saying “Fuck you! Assholes!”. :-)
