Explaining the Perverse Impact of Double Taxation with a Chart

Posted on February 15, 2016 by budbromley

Whether I’m criticizing Warren Buffett’s innumeracy or explaining how to identify illegitimate loopholes, I frequently write about the perverse impact of double taxation.

By this, I mean the tendency of politicians to impose multiple layers of taxation on income that is saved and invested. Examples of this self-destructive practice include the death tax, the capital gains tax, and the second layer of tax of dividends.

Double taxation is particularly foolish since every economic theory – including socialism and Marxism – agrees that capital formation is necessary for long-run growth and higher living standards.

Yet even though this is a critically important issue, I’ve never been satisfied with the way I explain the topic. But perhaps this flowchart makes everything easier to understand (click it for better resolution).

There are a lot of boxes, so it’s not a simple flowchart, but the underlying message hopefully is very…

Obama is “dead wrong” on climate change

Posted on February 8, 2016 by budbromley

‘Global warming is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life.’ – Harold Lewis, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, former Chairman; Former member Defense Science Board, chmn of Technology panel; Chairman DSB study on Nuclear Winter; Former member Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Former member, President’s Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group; Co-founder and former Chairman of JASON; Former member USAF Scientific Advisory Board; Served in US Navy in WW II; books: Technological Risk (about, surprise, technological risk) and Why Flip a Coin (about decision making).

“The idea that global warming is the most important problem facing the world is total nonsense and is doing a lot of harm.” “It makes very little sense to believe the output of the climate models.” “I just think they don’t understand the climate,” Freeman Dyson said of AGW climatologists. “Their computer models are full of fudge factors.” “The models are extremely oversimplified.” “They don’t represent the clouds in detail at all. They simply use a fudge factor to represent the clouds.” “To any unprejudiced person reading this account, the facts should be obvious: that the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial, that the possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and that the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage,”~ Freeman Dyson, physicist, Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton.

“I view Climategate as science fraud, pure and simple,” said Princeton Physicist Dr. Robert Austin

“Any reasonable scientific analysis must conclude the basic theory [anthropogenic global warming – AGW] wrong!!” — NASA Scientist Dr. Leonard Weinstein who worked 35 years at the NASA Langley Research Center and finished his career there as a Senior Research Scientist. Weinstein is presently a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace.

“Please remain calm: The Earth will heal itself — Climate is beyond our power to control…Earth doesn’t care about governments or their legislation. You can’t find much actual global warming in present-day weather observations. Climate change is a matter of geologic time, something that the earth routinely does on its own without asking anyone’s permission or explaining itself.” — Nobel Prize-Winning Stanford University Physicist Dr. Robert B. Laughlin, who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1998, and was formerly a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

“In essence, the jig is up. The whole thing is a fraud. And even the fraudsters that fudged data are admitting to temperature history that they used to say didn’t happen…Perhaps what has doomed the Climategate fraudsters the most was their brazenness in fudging the data” — Dr. Christopher J. Kobus, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University, specializes in alternative energy, thermal transport phenomena, two-phase flow and fluid and thermal energy systems.

“The energy mankind generates is so small compared to that overall energy budget that it simply cannot affect the climate…The planet’s climate is doing its own thing, but we cannot pinpoint significant trends in changes to it because it dates back millions of years while the study of it began only recently. We are children of the Sun; we simply lack data to draw the proper conclusions.” — Russian Scientist Dr. Anatoly Levitin, the head of geomagnetic variations laboratory at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

“Hundreds of billion dollars have been wasted with the attempt of imposing a Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory that is not supported by physical world evidences…AGW has been forcefully imposed by means of a barrage of scare stories and indoctrination that begins in the elementary school textbooks.” — Brazilian Geologist Geraldo Luís Lino, who authored the 2009 book “The Global Warming Fraud: How a Natural Phenomenon Was Converted into a False World Emergency.”

“Those who call themselves ‘Green planet advocates’ should be arguing for a CO2- fertilized atmosphere, not a CO2-starved atmosphere…Diversity increases when the planet was warm AND had high CO2 atmospheric content…Al Gore’s personal behavior supports a green planet – his enormous energy use with his 4 homes and his bizjet, does indeed help make the planet greener. Kudos, Al for doing your part to save the planet.” — Renowned engineer and aviation/space pioneer Burt Rutan, who was named “100 most influential people in the world, 2004” by Time Magazine and Newsweek called him “the man responsible for more innovations in modern aviation than any living engineer.”

“I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken … Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science.” ~ William Happer, PhD, Eugene Higgens Professor of Physics and Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics, Princeton University.

“Demonization of CO2 is irrational at best and even modest warming is mostly beneficial. When someone says this is the warmest temperature on record. What are they talking about? It’s just nonsense. This is a very tiny change period.” “To say that climate change will be catastrophic hides a cascade of value-laden assumptions that do not emerge from empirical science.” “…there is no substantive basis for predictions of sizeable global warming due to observed increases in minor greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons.” “Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age.”~ Richard S. Lindzen, PhD (applied mathematics), Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (MIT)

Ivar Giaever, PhD (physics) Nobel Prize in Physics, speaking to a conference of other Nobel Laureates on July 1, 2015. This is the 29 minute video on global warming wherein Giaever calls out President Obama for being “dead wrong” on global warming. https://rumble.com/v3neppa-climate-hoax-exposed-by-nobel-laureate-ivar-giaever.html

“We, the undersigned scientists, maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated. Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now.^1,2 After controlling for population growth and property values, there has been no increase in damages from severe weather-related events.³ The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior.⁴ Mr. President [Obama], your characterization of the scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of certainty informing the scientific debate is simply incorrect.”

Dear Mr. Secretary-General,

Re: UN climate conference taking the World in entirely the wrong direction

It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages. Geological, archaeological, oral and written histories all attest to the dramatic challenges posed to past societies from unanticipated changes in temperature, precipitation, winds and other climatic variables. We therefore need to equip nations to become resilient to the full range of these natural phenomena by promoting economic growth and wealth generation.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued increasingly alarming conclusions about the climatic influences of human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2), a non-polluting gas that is essential to plant photosynthesis. While we understand the evidence that has led them to view CO2 emissions as harmful, the IPCC’s conclusions are quite inadequate as justification for implementing policies that will markedly diminish future prosperity. In particular, it is not established that it is possible to significantly alter global climate through cuts in human greenhouse gas emissions. On top of which, because attempts to cut emissions will slow development, the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future climate change rather than to decrease it.

The IPCC Summaries for Policy Makers are the most widely read IPCC reports amongst politicians and non-scientists and are the basis for most climate change policy formulation. Yet these Summaries are prepared by a relatively small core writing team with the final drafts approved line-by-line by government representatives. The great majority of IPCC contributors and reviewers, and the tens of thousands of other scientists who are qualified to comment on these matters, are not involved in the preparation of these documents. The summaries therefore cannot properly be represented as a consensus view among experts.

Contrary to the impression left by the IPCC Summary reports:

Recent observations of phenomena such as glacial retreats, sea-level rise and the migration of temperature-sensitive species are not evidence for abnormal climate change, for none of these changes has been shown to lie outside the bounds of known natural variability.

The average rate of warming of 0.1 to 0. 2 degrees Celsius per decade recorded by satellites during the late 20th century falls within known natural rates of warming and cooling over the last 10,000 years.

Leading scientists, including some senior IPCC representatives, acknowledge that today’s computer models cannot predict climate. Consistent with this, and despite computer projections of temperature rises, there has been no net global warming since 1998. That the current temperature plateau follows a late 20th-century period of warming is consistent with the continuation today of natural multi-decadal or millennial climate cycling.

In stark contrast to the often repeated assertion that the science of climate change is “settled,” significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming. But because IPCC working groups were generally instructed (see http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/docs/wg1_timetable_2006-08-14.pdf) to consider work published only through May, 2005, these important findings are not included in their reports; i.e., the IPCC assessment reports are already materially outdated.

The UN climate conference in Bali has been planned to take the world along a path of severe CO2 restrictions, ignoring the lessons apparent from the failure of the Kyoto Protocol, the chaotic nature of the European CO2 trading market, and the ineffectiveness of other costly initiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Balanced cost/benefit analyses provide no support for the introduction of global measures to cap and reduce energy consumption for the purpose of restricting CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it is irrational to apply the “precautionary principle” because many scientists recognize that both climatic coolings and warmings are realistic possibilities over the medium-term future.

The current UN focus on “fighting climate change,” as illustrated in the Nov. 27 UN Development Programme’s Human Development Report, is distracting governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes, whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity’s real and pressing problems.

Yours faithfully,

Copy to: Heads of state of countries of the signatory persons.

Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change

“Global warming” is not a global crisis

We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times Square, New York City, participating in the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change,

Resolving that scientific questions should be evaluated solely by the scientific method;

Affirming that global climate has always changed and always will, independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life;

Recognising that the causes and extent of recently-observed climatic change are the subject of intense debates in the climate science community and that oft-repeated assertions of a supposed ‘consensus’ among climate experts are false;

Affirming that attempts by governments to legislate costly regulations on industry and individual citizens to encourage CO2 emission reduction will slow development while having no appreciable impact on the future trajectory of global climate change. Such policies will markedly diminish future prosperity and so reduce the ability of societies to adapt to inevitable climate change, thereby increasing, not decreasing human suffering;

Noting that warmer weather is generally less harmful to life on Earth than colder:

Hereby declare:

That current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity’s real and serious problems.

That there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change.

That attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate.

That adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation, and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples.

That human-caused climate change is not a global crisis.

Now, therefore, we recommend –

That world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as popular, but misguided works such as “An Inconvenient Truth”.

That all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith.

Agreed at New York, 4 March 2008.

Letter from Harold Lewis, Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to Curtis G. Callan Jr, Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society. In this letter, Lewis resigns from the APS.

Dear Curt:
When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago). Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a life of poverty and abstinence—it was World War II that changed all that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists. As recently as thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe, all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides. What greater tribute could there be?

How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and the money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs. For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.

So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it. For example:

About a year ago a few of us sent an e-mail on the subject to a fraction of the membership. APS ignored the issues, but the then President immediately launched a hostile investigation of where we got the e-mail addresses. In its better days, APS used to encourage discussion of important issues, and indeed the Constitution cites that as its principal purpose. No more. Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate
The appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change was apparently written in a hurry by a few people over lunch, and is certainly not representative of the talents of APS members as I have long known them. So a few of us petitioned the Council to reconsider it. One of the outstanding marks of (in)distinction in the Statement was the poison word incontrovertible, which describes few items in physics, certainly not this one. In response APS appointed a secret committee that never met, never troubled to speak to any skeptics, yet endorsed the Statement in its entirety. (They did admit that the tone was a bit strong, but amazingly kept the poison word incontrovertible to describe the evidence, a position supported by no one.) In the end, the Council kept the original statement, word for word, but approved a far longer “explanatory” screed, admitting that there were uncertainties, but brushing them aside to give blanket approval to the original. The original Statement, which still stands as the APS position, also contains what I consider pompous and asinine advice to all world governments, as if the APS were master of the universe. It is not, and I am embarrassed that our leaders seem to think it is. This is not fun and games, these are serious matters involving vast fractions of our national substance, and the reputation of the Society as a scientific society is at stake.
In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity. Effect on the APS position: none. None at all. This is not science; other forces are at work.
So a few of us tried to bring science into the act (that is, after all, the alleged and historic purpose of APS), and collected the necessary 200+ signatures to bring to the Council a proposal for a Topical Group on Climate Science, thinking that open discussion of the scientific issues, in the best tradition of physics, would be beneficial to all, and also a contribution to the nation. I might note that it was not easy to collect the signatures, since you denied us the use of the APS membership list. We conformed in every way with the requirements of the APS Constitution, and described in great detail what we had in mind—simply to bring the subject into the open.<
To our amazement, Constitution be damned, you declined to accept our petition, but instead used your own control of the mailing list to run a poll on the members’ interest in a TG on Climate and the Environment. You did ask the members if they would sign a petition to form a TG on your yet-to-be-defined subject, but provided no petition, and got lots of affirmative responses. (If you had asked about sex you would have gotten more expressions of interest.) There was of course no such petition or proposal, and you have now dropped the Environment part, so the whole matter is moot. (Any lawyer will tell you that you cannot collect signatures on a vague petition, and then fill in whatever you like.) The entire purpose of this exercise was to avoid your constitutional responsibility to take our petition to the Council.
As of now you have formed still another secret and stacked committee to organize your own TG, simply ignoring our lawful petition.

APS management has gamed the problem from the beginning, to suppress serious conversation about the merits of the climate change claims. Do you wonder that I have lost confidence in the organization?

I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise. As the old saying goes, you don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Since I am no philosopher, I’m not going to explore at just which point enlightened self-interest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question.

I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends.

“On the Present Halting of Global Warming.”

First line of abstract: “The rise in global average temperature over the last century has halted since roughly the year 2000, despite the fact that the release of CO2 into the atmosphere is still increasing.”

… Paragraph 2 in section 2.1 “Based on various climate change data, such as those of tree rings [5], glacial retreat [6] and river ice breakup [7], Akasofu [8] showed that global warming began as early as 1800 ~ 1850 and NOT AFTER CO2 began to increase very rapidly around 1946. Further, among these factors, the sea level increase from about 1850 to 2000 was also almost linear, though with a slightly decreasing rate [9].”

(Capitalization of the words “NOT AFTER” is mine for emphasis. In other words, the hypothesized effect cannot occur before the hypothesized cause. Full pdf of this science paper at this link.

Defense

Posted on January 30, 2016 by budbromley

I am for defense only. Preemption assumes way too much about the other side, which includes knowledge that either we do not have or choose to ignore. For example, Saddam Hussein negotiated his surrender prior to the US-led invasion of Iraq. The surrender was submitted to the Bush administration. The Bush administration chose to ignore that and invaded anyway, with great loss of life and property.

In the Constitution, war is supposed to be declared by Congress. But various laws and authorizations by Congress are used by Presidents to take military action without declaring war, including offensive and anticipatory military action. This too must end.

And then too, we the people must be ever vigilant against charismatic populists who tell everybody what they want to hear even while they are destroying the Constitution they sworn to protect and defend.

I would promise to respond with overwhelming force when and where you least expect it.

Repost: Memorial to Levoy Finicum

Posted on January 28, 2016 by budbromley

‎Bill Goode‎ to Republican Liberty Caucus

Yesterday at 2:04am ·

Lavoy Finicum was murdered yesterday afternoon by FBI agents at the behest of the Oregon State governor. I personally knew Lavoy since last May 2015, so I wrote the following as a memorium to his memory, as he was one of the finest patriots I have personally known, and I’ve met a few.

Lavoy Finicum was a Mohave County Resident, living in a very small rural community, called Cane Beds, about 5-1/2 miles Southeast of Colorado City, Mohave County, Arizona, and just 4 miles south of the Utah border. He was a rancher with about 150 head of cattle, a fairly small herd, about a quarter the size of Cliven Bundy’s cattle herd and a seventh the size of the Hammond’s herd.

Lavoy’s ranch is another 40 miles south of his home, almost on the border of the Grand Canyon National Park. He ranched what is called the “Tuckup” BLM grazing allotment number AZ00097. It covers one square mile of Arizona state land and about 25-1/2 sq miles of BLM land all covered by the contracted “grazing allotment”. Under such contracts, ranchers are only allowed to graze so many cattle on each allotment according to what the BLM feels is the appropriate number for that allotment, determined by water and forage availability and, of course the BLM’s own personal future plans for the area.

For the last year or so the BLM has been in the process of converting about 10 of those BLM square miles of Lavoy’s ranch to be part of a new national monument, called “Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, eventually reducing the size of Lavoy’s ranch by about 40%. This action by the BLM was one of the factors that inspired Lavoy to eventually cancel his grazing contract with the BLM.

Lavoy and his wife Jeanette were foster parents to over 50 foster children over the years. These children were recovered from mental hospitals, drug rehabs and group homes for emotionally disturbed youths. I personally can attest by my own experience that raising such children on a ranch as remote as Lavoy’s would be an invaluable means of revitalizing purpose in these children’s lives. As on any ranch, these children were raised to help out on the ranch as all ranching families do. This is an invaluable means of spiritually and mentally rehabilitating children.

The Finicums did receive payment from charities to care for the foster children. However, after Lavoy made his stand in Oregon on 2 January, the foster children were started to be removed by social workers (read Child Protective Services – CPS) between 4 January through 9 January. That was the major source of income for the Finicums, but Lavoy made the choice to stand up for ranchers as a whole in Oregon.

Lavoy had been one of the some 40 odd cowboys that rode into the Toquop Wash to demand the release of Cliven Bundy’s cattle on 12 April 2014. Since then, being a man of extremely strong and steadfast convictions, Lavoy felt he had to live up to the same moral standard that Cliven had, by canceling his grazing contract on the Tuckup allotment with the BLM. So Lavoy wrote the appropriate letters to the BLM and other government officials informing them that he was severing his relations with the BLM, though he personally had never had any trouble with them. He became the second rancher to cancel his grazing contracts with the BLM after Cliven Bundy.

At the Oregon Standoff, Lavoy encouraged other ranchers to cancel their grazing contracts as he and Cliven had done. Lavoy was in charge of media presentations. He emphasized the purposes behind the Standoff were to Number One – Free the Hammonds and Two – Restore the public lands to the people via the counties.

The quality I remember most about Lavoy was his steadfast willingness to stand up for what he believed and not wavering from that. He was a man easily willing to help others in times of difficulties. One night at the Resource Center he spent an hour helping me get my car unstuck from the snow at 9 o’clock in 20 degree weather. A really warm and steadfast friend.

I can only believe that the recent events will only serve as a catalyst for much larger events that the FBI, the BLM, Fish & Wildlife Service and the governor of Oregon have not foreseen.

Murder, extortion and land grab by government

Posted on January 28, 2016 by budbromley

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul promise to return to the states those lands which are currently controlled by the feds. On the other hand, Trump is a promoter of eminent domain, which is one of the ways government takes private property from private citizens… sometimes to sell it to real estate developers like Trump or to lease rights to corporate developers.

http://www.ijreview.com/2015/07/358124-elected-rand-paul-plans-take-federal-lands-away-big-huge-government-bully/

In case you have not made the connection yet, the shootings, murder and jailings by federal agents and Oregon police in Oregon this week are all about confiscation of privately-owned ranches by the federal government. Those ranchers and the so-called militia are in fact fighting for your rights and liberty.

Now, we might think of smarter ways for these people to go about their protest. But, some of these people have already been through land confiscation, federal extortion and jail.

Staging an ambush, shooting one surrendered man, and murdering another unarmed, surrendered man on a public road is not a crime for police and federal agents. It should be, but de facto it is not a crime. Furthermore, the government will use your taxpayer money to cover up their crimes.

In addition, by interfering with federal agents in the process of a crime, you can be charged and jailed for conspiracy (which requires very little if any proof), you can be shot and killed, and you can be held without due process of law for as long as they wish, all under the Patriot Act. All of that has already occurred multiple times.

Let that sink in.

It will require paying attention for years to track this crime in Oregon by the federal government and an unelected sheriff, and an unelected judge and the unelected governor of Oregon, who is an environmental alarmist. The government conspirators count on our short attention span.

The two local ranchers are now jailed under false charges for a second time. Those two re-jailed local ranchers were fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, which they probably will be unable to pay since they are jailed. So their ranch will be confiscated (extorted) to pay the trumped up fine levied by the judges.

I am not referring to the Bundys who were recently arrested in Oregon after the murder by FBI agents and Oregon police. I am referring to the father and son ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr., 73, and Steven Hammond, 46. They surrendered earlier in January at the federal prison in California. The Bundys and the rest of the so-called militia were protesting and seeking redress on behalf of the Hammonds and against the ongoing federal land grab, and the mismanagement and coercive, extortion methods of the government. The Hammonds, under advice of their lawyers, did not participate so that they would be eligible for clemency by the President.

It’s the second time that the two Hammonds will serve federal time for setting fires on land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Remember the days when you could not be tried twice for the same crime? Long gone. We live in an Orwellian or Kafkaesque dystopia. In this dystopian world, the government will use any means at its disposal to eliminate private property, unless you are part of the oligarchy.

“In 2012, the Hammonds were convicted of arson for setting fires on land where they held legal grazing rights for their cattle. Dwight Hammond was sentenced to serve three months in prison and Steven Hammond to one year.”

“Arson on federal land carries a five-year mandatory minimum sentence, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office, but the Hammonds successfully argued during their sentencing that the mandatory minimum was unconstitutional.”

After the Hammonds were sentenced, prosecutors continued to pursue the Hammonds in court to increase their sentences. “The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, and a federal judge in October sentenced them both to five years in prison with credit for time they already served.”

“Dwight Hammond now faces nearly five years in prison and his son faces up to four. Attorneys for both men announced that they plan to seek clemency from President Barack Obama.”

This news story so far omits certain important facts that help to explain the bigger picture:

(1) The Hammonds were sentenced as terrorists, under terrorism laws. That clearly is a fabrication by prosecutors and sustained by the judges.

(2) There was a heavy $500,000 fine levied with a due date occurring while the Hammonds are in prison. The Hammonds have already paid part of that fine.

(3) There was a raging forest and range fire on government land in the area around the back fire started by the Hammonds. The Hammonds started the back fire to prevent the larger fire from spreading to their land and to federal lands where their cattle grazed. The fire would have destroyed grass their cattle needed for the winter. The Hammond’s quick action to set the back fire prevented further spreading of the fire in a remote area over 10,000 acres.

(4) The extent of the federal lands burned (on which the Hammonds had grazing rights) by the Hammonds was small. One burn was only about 1 acre. Only grass and scrub brush was burned. Federal review of the case revealed that the value of that land increased (according to the feds) due to the removal of scrub by the burn. In other words, there was no damage and therefore, there should be no fine. (Testimony and documents from the trial.)

(5) The federal government wants the Hammond-owned lands. The Hammonds do not want to sell; it is their livelihood. The BLM and other agencies have conspired to force the Hammonds to sell by cutting off water and road access to the adjacent grazing lands where the Hammonds have grazing rights. This is known as extortion, another crime. Why does the government want the Hammond land? We don’t know the whole story yet. But, there are water and minerals like uranium and gold on the Hammond land. The Hammond’s ranch was identified by the BLM as “high potential for Uranium mining.” The BLM has demanded first rights to the Hammond lands in case the fines are not paid. http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2012/01/malheur_county_targeted_for_go.html

A list of some of the mining companies interested in Oregon, particularly Harney and Mahleur CountiWhyes:

“Oregon Energy LLC owns and operates uranium projects. It owns 72 uranium lode claims and spread across 580 hectares. The company was incorporated in 2010 and is based in the United States. Oregon Energy LLC operates as a subsidiary of Energy Ventures Ltd.”

(6) The brother of the un-elected judge was a BLM employee. This appointed, unelected judge, Steven Grasty, according to Oregon Live news reports, is not only the Harney County Judge, he is the Health Administrator, County Commissioner, Chief Budget Officer and CEO, and oversees the County’s landfills. Gee whiz, do you think there might be a conflict of interest with this judge? If we follow this story and the money, we will probably find out who benefits from these crimes.

(7) Existing government regulations and law today already claim that the government owns and controls mineral, water and game rights on lands owned under “fee simple” purchase contracts by private citizens. In some places, (e.g. Hawaii) the government claims to own rainwater running off of your roof and in gullies beside your driveway, or ponds, and derives from that the supposed right to regulate frogs, bugs and organisms in that water.

These are common law crimes committed by the government against the people whom the government is duty bound to serve. These are exactly the type of crimes that were addressed by the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and further back by the Magna Carta. The entire concept of liberty and rights has been turned upside down. Today, the U.S. has regressed to the stage of divine right, feudal kings.

The brave, but arguably not too wise, so-called militia men and woman are fighting against that. And so should we.

Ambush & murder by federal agents

Posted on January 28, 2016 by budbromley

Site Reports from the Burns, Oregon ambush and murder by the FBI, other federal agents and Oregon State Police.

http://ahtrimble.com/2016/01/27/sitrep-burns-oregon-1272016/

Eye witness report: Federal agents and Oregon State Police shot him walking with his hands in the air. Militia did not touch their guns.

First shots were fired by federal agents at Ryan who had his head and hands out the window. Vehicles riddled with bullets.

Audio eye witness report by Victoria, who was in one of the vehicles: LeVoy Finicum was shot dead, hit five or six times, while he was walking with his hands in the air, then shot again while he was down on ground.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y92PvMFL0Eg

Eyewitnesses: FBI and Oregon State Police fired ~ 120 shots to take down this unarmed man with his arms in the air. Arizona rancher LaVoy Finicum was the acting PR guy for the militia groups. A Mormon, father of 11 kids and grandfather of 19 kids. “He was just walking, with his hands in the air, and they shot him dead,” said one witness, adding, “His hands were still up after he was dead.”

Now the government lies and cover-up begin.

Will the Obama regime blame this murder on a movie about Mormons or a traffic stop?

Cause cannot follow effect

Posted on January 23, 2016 by budbromley

Abstract: “The hypothesis that the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is related to observable changes in the climate is tested using modern methods of time-series analysis. The results confirm that average global temperature is increasing, and that temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide are significantly correlated over the past thirty years. Changes in carbon dioxide content lag those in temperature by five months.” (Note date: 22 February 1990)

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1990Natur.343..709K

Coherence established between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature

CYNTHIA KUO, CRAIG LINDBERG & DAVID J. THOMSON

Mathematical Sciences Research Center, AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974, USA

The above work by Kuo et al is confirmed and strengthened in the following work using the availability of 20 years additional data. Full paper available at the link below.

A re-evaluation of the coherence between global-average atmospheric CO2 and temperatures at interannual time scales. by Jeffrey Park in GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 36, L22704, doi:10.1029/2009GL040975, 2009 (full article linked below.)

Abstract: Frequency-dependent coherence between atmospheric CO2 and historical temperatures reveals climate feedbacks within Earth’s carbon cycle. Coherence between interannual fluctuations in global-average temperature and atmospheric CO2 has changed over time. Since 1979, at Mauna Loa and other observation sites, interannual coherence exhibits a 90 phase lag that suggests a direct correlation between temperatures and the time-derivative of CO2. …

Introduction: Statistical correlations between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures have been found on multiple time scales. Simple autoregressive prediction filters that utilize CO2, CO2-proxy and solar-variability time series show that a handful of free parameters can explain well the secular progression of 20th-century temperatures [Thomson, 1997; Kaufmann and Stern, 1997; Tol and de Vos, 1998; Stern and Kaufmann, 2000]. On interannual time scales, carbon-cycle feedbacks are evident in correlation analyses that show CO2 fluctuation to lag several months behind correlated fluctuations in global temperatures [Kuo et al., 1990; Martin et al., 1994; Dettinger and Ghil, 1998; Adams and Piovesan, 2005]. The earliest study [Kuo et al., 1990] used spectral coherence statistics to correlate CO2 and temperature, but most later studies use time-domain correlations, some statistical, some visual [see Keeling et al., 1995, Braswell et al., 1997; Langenfelds et al., 2002; Lintner, 2002; Buermann et al., 2007].

Kuo et al. [1990] correlated global temperature with a 30-year record of monthly CO2 observations at Mauna Loa, Hawaii [Keeling, 2008]. 20 additional years of data is now available from Mauna Loa and the largely coeval South Pole CO2 time series. A global network of stations [GLOBALVIEW-CO2, 2008; Masarie and Tans, 1995], now provides time series as long as the Mauna Loa series originally analyzed by Kuo et al. [1990]. It seems timely to ask whether the spectral correlations reported in the 1990s have persisted. …

Results: [9] Our estimate of C(f) between Hadley-Centre global average temperature and CO2-concentration at Mauna Loa USA over 1958 – 1988 (Figure 1) agrees largely with Kuo et al. [1990], but coherence over 1979 – 2008 differs significantly (Figure 2). For 1958 – 1988 jC( f )j 2 exceeds the 99% confidence level for nonrandomness over 0.2 < f < 0.6 cyc/yr, breaches the 90% confidence level for non-periodic variability near f = 1 cyc/yr, and breaches the 90% confidence level within 1.25 < f < 2.0 cyc/yr. For 1979– 2008 jC( f )j 2 exceeds 99% confidence over a narrower low-frequency bandpass and breaches 90% confidence modestly near f = 2.0 cyc/yr. A more telling comparison involves arg(C( f )). During 1958 –1988 a linear phase ramp mimics the effect of a 6-month delay in CO2 fluctuations relative to those in global DT. Kuo et al. [1990] reported a 5-month delay; the discrepancy might relate to updates in the historical SST dataset [Brohan et al., 2006]. During 1979 – 2008 the interannual arg(C( f )) 90 where jC( f )j 2 is significant, i.e., a constant phase rather than a phase ramp.

Discussion: [13] Interannual arg(C( f )) > 0 suggests that CO2 fluctuations are caused by fluctuations DT in global temperature. The correlation coefficient is 2 –3 ppm/ C for interannual periods. If Earth climate warms by 3C for a doubling of preindustrial CO2, the predicted greenhouse feedback for a global-average DT = 1C ENSO fluctuation would be less than 0.05C, that is, <5% feedback.

Don’t Tread on Me

Posted on January 23, 2016 by budbromley

Notice the snake is coiled and ready to strike, not stretched out.

DONT_TREAD_ON_ME

Pull your head out just long enough to grasp this: It is true that we (US + NATO) have regime-changed them, funded them, armed them and trained them… and killed them, over and over again for 4 decades. But, historical evidence contradicts the point that we caused all of this jihadism and contradicts the notion that walking away will stop the violence.

Muslims were killing 10’s of millions of people (1) wherever they went BEFORE the U.S.A. existed. They have never stopped. Eighty million Hindu and other Indians were killed in India alone by the method taught by Muhammad and proudly documented in the journals of his generals. Since 9-11, muslims have been killing eight of their fellow muslims for each of us infidels.

World domination is the mission of islam’s holiest text, which muslims believe to be the literal word of their god, and that is explained by its prophet’s words and actions.

Abu jahl said to them: “Muhammad alleges that if you follow him you will be kings of the Arabs and the Persians. Then after death you will be raised to gardens like those of the Jordan. But if you do not follow him you will be slaughtered, and when you are raised from the dead you will be burned in the fire of hell.” The apostle[Muhammad] came out to them with a handful of dust saying: “I do say that.” (2)

So, no, stopping our repeated behaviors toward them and then leaving them alone will not stop them from trying to dominate us. But, yes, it is stupid to continue to waste resources on them and counterproductive and stupid to continue to kick their nests.

We must vigilantly maintain for our homeland the strongest national defense on the planet. That defense must include profiling and removing jihadist muslims inside the U.S. We must recruit peaceful, reformist muslims to accomplish this task. The U.S. must close the gates which are currently letting in unvetted hordes of ever-cheaper labor. We must halt the Obama-and-oligarchy-led national suicidal refugee programs such as those underway in Europe; if allowed to continue, this Trojan horse will result in certain defeat.

National defense and national interest does not include instigation of regime change in foreign lands, wars of convenience, or behaving like the world’s police force, under any theory of U.S. national interest or international human rights, or the open borders multiculturalist policies which, unfortunately, the U.S. has been following along with NATO allies for more than 30 years.

He met the unprepared Hindus at Bhimnagar, slaughtered them, pillaged their cities, destroyed their temples, and carried away the accumulated treasures of centuries…Each winter Mahmud descended into India, filled his treasure chest with spoils, and amused his men with full freedom to pillage and kill…he expressed his admiration for the architecture of the great shrine [at Mathura on the Jumna], judged that its duplication would cost one hundred million dinars and the labor of two hundred years, and then ordered it to be soaked with naphtha and burnt to the ground. Six years later he sacked another opulent city of northern India, Somnath, killed all its fifty thousand inhabitants, and dragged its wealth to Ghazni…The first of[the] bloody sultans [of the Sultanate of Delhi] was a normal specimen of his kind — fanatical, ferocious, and merciless. His gifts, as the Mohammedan historian tells us, “were bestowed by hundreds of thousands, and his slaughters likewise were by hundreds of thousands.” Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlak…killed so many Hindus that, in the words of a Moslem historian, “there was constantly in front of his royal pavilion and his Civil Court a mound of dead bodies and a heap of corpses, while the sweepers and executioners were wearied out by their work of dragging” the victims “and putting them to death in crowds.”..His successor, Firoz Shah, invaded Bengal, offered a reward for every Hindu head, paid for 180,000 of them, raided Hindu villages for slaves…Sultan Ahmad Shah feasted for three days whenever the number of defenseless Hindus slain in his territories in one day reached twenty thousand…The usual policy of the Sultans was clearly sketched by Alau-d-din, who required his advisers to draw up “rules and regulations for grinding down the Hindus…” Half of the gross produce of the soil was collected by the [Islamic] government; native rulers had taken one-sixth. “No Hindu,” says a Moslem historian, “could hold up his head, and in their houses no sign of gold or silver…or of any superfluity was to be seen…Blows, confinement in the stocks, imprisonment and chains, were all employed to enforce payment.”
