  Guess what? The samples did show that increases in carbon dioxide always accompanied increases in temperature, but the increases in temperature always came first.16 The increases in CO2 consistently lagged behind temperature increases by about eight hundred years.

  That proves increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere didn’t cause warming. How could it have, if it didn’t happen until after the warming? This knocks over the whole house of cards.

  That’s not all the Vostok ice core samples tell us. As Joe Martino reports, 325,000 years ago, global temps and CO2 levels were higher than they are today.17 I guess Barack Obama didn’t get any of this when he was at Columbia learning how to become a community agitator.

  In fact, we are right now near the end of another warm interglacial. And those of us who are educated in science know we’re actually heading into another glacial cooling period where global temperatures will drop and ice will again form heavily at the poles. It’s already happening. The Antarctic has just had the greatest growth of ice in a very long period of time.18 Don’t take my word for it. Research it yourself.

  So what can we say about this group of political radicals and their fake climate change research? In short, they don’t do scientific research scientifically. Their data is not representative of the Earth’s climate as a whole. They don’t control for other causes of temperature change. Their methodology and results are not approved by their peers, other than those bought off by the politicians. But that’s not the most damning evidence against this scam.

  Where’s the Warming?

  If I were a news reporter, my editor might say I’ve buried the lead. Until now, I’ve given the climate con artists the benefit of the doubt that they are at least working with real data. They’re not.

  Remember when I told you the very first thing a scientist has to do is protect the integrity of his data? To ensure that it was really being gathered accurately and properly? Well, it goes without saying that there is no integrity in your data if you’re intentionally altering the results yourself. It turns out that’s just what these climate change scientists have been doing.

  At the time of this writing, what Chris Booker of the Telegraph called “the biggest science scandal ever” was just coming to light. Booker says that future generations will be shocked at “the extent to which the official temperature records—on which the entire panic ultimately rested—were systematically ‘adjusted’ to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified.”19

  Booker has been following the work of several researchers who have proved conclusively that even the temperature data the IPCC cites as evidence of its theory is completely bogus. Not only have measurements been altered to show warming trends where there is no trend at all, they have actually had the audacity to turn cooling trends into warming trends. Traust Jonsson, who formerly headed climate research at the Iceland office, expressed surprise that current reporting “completely ‘disappears’ Iceland’s ‘sea ice years’ around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.”20

  They did the same thing with data at three different sites in Paraguay. For all three sites, high temperatures in the 1960s were adjusted downward and lower temperatures thereafter were adjusted upward to turn a fifty-year cooling trend into a warming trend.21

  It’s not just Iceland and Paraguay. They’ve changed temperature records all over the world to show warming where it doesn’t exist, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, England, New York, Costa Rica, and Alaska. The whole list is too long to reproduce here, but Joseph D’Aleo and Anthony Watts have put together a comprehensive report called “Surface Temperature Records: Policy Drive Deception?”22 I suggest you read it. Then you’ll start to see what is really going on.

  You can’t say the climate change con artists aren’t creative. They are even willing to combine unrepresentative data with data manipulation to get the results they want. Here’s an excerpt from this report:

  The Ria Novosti agency reported that the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change had probably tampered with Russian climate data:

  “The IEA believes that Russian meteorological station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory. Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country’s territory and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25% of such stations in its reports. The Russian station count dropped from 476 to 121 so over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global temperature calculations for some other reasons rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations.”

  The data of stations located in areas not listed in the Hadley Climate Research Unit Temperature UK (HadCRUT) survey often show no substantial warming in the late 20th century and the early 21st century.23

  Engineering physicist and heat transfer specialist Mike Brakey found similar tampering with climate history records in the State of Maine. In his own words:

  Over the last months I have discovered that between 2013 and 2015 some government bureaucrats have rewritten Maine climate history… (and New England’s and of the U.S.). This statement is not based on my opinion, but on facts drawn from NOAA 2013 climate data vs. NOAA 2015 climate data after they re-wrote it.

  We need only compare the data. They cooked their own books.24

  Brakey goes on to present chart data proving his allegations conclusively.

  Does that seem shocking to you? It isn’t to me. It’s what happens when a crypto-Marxist president and his allies in Congress get control of the scientific community. It’s Lysenkoism. Just like Stalin, Obama needs fake science to convince the public to accept an economic system they’ve already rejected at the polls, just as the kulaks rejected collective farming. Instead of Lamarckian hereditary theory, it’s man-made global warming. But it’s still fake.

  One might ask why the polar ice caps are melting, if there really is no warming occurring. The answer might be simpler than you think. They aren’t. In fact, Antarctic sea ice is increasing so rapidly that the operations manager of the Australian Antarctic Division says he may have to move some of this division’s research locations.25

  Of course, that’s completely opposite of what’s happening in the Arctic Circle, where sea ice is diminishing rapidly, right? Wrong. A May 2015 NASA data update shows polar ice caps at five percent above the post-1979 average in extent.26

  Nineteen seventy-nine was an important year, because it marked the end of a thirty-year cooling trend, when ice caps were abnormally extensive. Lest we forget, the same group of socialists who want the government to take over everything because of global warming were telling us an ice age was coming during the 1970s.

  When the cooling trend ended, they managed to have 1979 declared as the baseline for polar ice cap extent, even though it was atypical in terms of ice caps being much more extensive than they had been in almost sixty years.27

  Even with this obfuscation, the data is still against the warmists. That’s how crackpot this whole theory is. Even when they cheat, its supporters can’t make the story stick.

  How could Al Gore win the Nobel Peace Prize for his lies? How can the IPCC continue to push global warming when the data denies everything they allege? How could the pope come out and say he wants to give a speech on global warming at the UN?

  It’s all about politics. It’s all about politics and ripping you off just as Obama rips you off to pay for the slackers, scoundrels, and grifters in our society. I’m setting the record straight by talking about the pope lining up with Obama on this global warming scam. The science does not support the big lie. It’s all about stealing money from productive citizens to redistribute it to dependent voters and political cronies.

  Junk Journalism for Junk Science

  Just as Lysenko had an army of state journalists to smear and discredit anyone who opposed his crank theories, man-made climate change proponents
and the Obama administration receive the same kind of support from the mainstream media. Anyone who suggests that politics may be compromising the science done by members of the IPCC is labeled a climate change denier. Anyone questioning the scientific validity of the CDC’s statements about illegal immigrants and disease is labeled a xenophobe or a racist.

  This is why we have a free press, regardless of which party is in power. The media is supposed to be skeptical of the government at all times. Even when reporters believe what politicians are telling them, they’re supposed to play devil’s advocate and ask the toughest questions they can think of. That’s the only way to keep the government honest. It’s one of the ways the people are represented, besides their political representation in Congress.

  Like all dictators, President Obama abhors freedom of the press. He said so himself:

  But a lot of it has to do with the fact that a) the balkanization of the media means that we just don’t have a common place where we get common facts and a common worldview the way we did 20, 30 years ago. And that just keeps on accelerating, you know. And I’m not the first to observe this, but you’ve got the Fox News / Rush Limbaugh folks and then you’ve got the MSNBC folks and the—I don’t know where Vox falls into that, but you guys are, I guess, for the brainiacnerd types. But the point is that technology which brings the world to us also allows us to narrow our point of view. That’s contributed to it.28

  Obama prefers “a common place where we get common facts and a common worldview.” That’s what Pravda was in the Soviet Union. During Lysenko’s reign over science, one of the common facts the media provided was that genes didn’t exist. Another was the government was going to feed the people. How did those common facts work out?

  The president would prefer that all dissent to his policies and the junk science used to support them were eliminated. Then, he makes the bizarre statement that technology increasing our source of news beyond the state-controlled media narrows our point of view! Orwell couldn’t have written it any better. But Obama is probably delusional enough to believe it himself.

  Lysenkoism eventually came to an end in the Soviet Union, as it inevitably had to. Scientific reality can be denied for only so long. Eventually, the people themselves just stopped believing the lies, regardless of the state media, and forced the Khrushchev regime to turn its back on Lysenko.

  Lysenko was stripped of all of his power, and real scientists who had always rejected his crackpot theories stopped being persecuted. All of this happened when the people themselves refused to go along with the government nonsense that led to one crisis after another.

  We have the same challenge in America today that those peasant farmers faced in Russia. We have a government that is perverting science and medicine to advance its political agenda. Pseudoscience as absurd as Lysenko’s is officially recognized by the state, while real scientists are silenced or ostracized.

  Just as in the Soviet Union fifty years ago, we have so-called journalists on the far left who continue to support these obtuse theories that have no validity whatsoever, and they smear anyone who dissents.

  Like the Russians, we have to free ourselves from this. We have to continue to fight for the integrity of science, medicine, and the truth. Unchecked, the government will destroy the truth itself.

  It won’t happen this year or next year. But we will rid ourselves of these Stalinist liars in America. It will happen in our lifetimes. The truth shall set us free. It must. It’s the only thing that can save us from Obama’s Soviet era.

  CHAPTER 10

  Zero Business Sense

  The Grand Illusionist’s Bubble Economy

  Back in March, Federal Reserve System chairwoman Janet Yellen made an unexpected announcement. She told Wall Street that a long-expected interest rate increase was unlikely. Based on that statement, the stock markets exploded out of negative territory to post huge gains.1 That just means the bubble economy blew up a little bigger.

  I’ve been telling my listeners for years that higher education is a bubble, caused by all the same government interventions that caused the housing bubble: cheap money and government-guaranteed loans to people who can’t pay them back. It’s misallocated and wasted trillions in capital, and it will end very badly.

  I have news for you. It’s not just the education sector that’s a bubble. It’s the entire U.S. economy. The grand illusionist in the White House has everyone believing that, somehow, his disastrous policies have resulted in an economic recovery. They haven’t.

  We haven’t experienced a recovery. We’ve simply allowed the government and its central bank, the Federal Reserve, to blow up another bubble. Just like housing, this one is going to end badly, but it’s going to be much wider in scope. Just imagine what happened in housing back in 2008 happening again, only over many sectors of the economy instead of just one. That’s what is coming unless we change course now.

  The key to the grand illusion is your apathy. There are few subjects more boring than monetary policy, interest rates, inflation data, and job market participation. That’s what the Fed and the government count on. These numbers are reported in the media and then forgotten by 99 percent of the population. But they tell a very ominous story.

  All the public is aware of is the stock market, which is at historic highs, at least nominally. It’s astounding that any journalist can report on the market making new highs without emphasizing that the Federal Reserve has held interest rates at zero for over six years.

  Actually, no real journalist can avoid pointing that out. We just don’t have journalists in the media. We have propagandists who conveniently ignore details like unprecedented Fed intervention so they can tell us fairy tales about Obama’s “recovery.”

  That’s why Grandma Yellen’s March announcement was so important. The market was deep in negative territory, because Wall Street was expecting her to say the Fed would finally start raising interest rates. That would have meant the party was over and would have resulted in a correction in the markets. It also would have meant a recession, which would hurt in the short term but is necessary to the long-term health of the economy.

  That’s a Savage Truth the media won’t tell you. But it’s true. The only way for us to get out of a bubble is for the inflated stock market prices to correct and the millions of people in jobs that wouldn’t exist without the bubble to leave them and find new jobs that are sustainable without inflation. That’s what happens when a bubble pops.

  You have to understand how the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates down. It’s a lot simpler than people think it is. The Fed creates money out of thin air and buys securities with it. That increases the supply of money, resulting in a decrease in the price of money. That’s all interest rates are: the price of money. When supply goes up, all other things being equal, price goes down.

  So, the Fed floods the market with new money whenever its friends on Wall Street are in danger of realizing losses. The fat cats love it, because stock prices go up. But there is a cost to everyone else. Capital gets directed to unsustainable businesses like green-energy companies, who employ people to make products that don’t sell. It also makes the price of everything else go up.

  I wasn’t surprised when Yellen blinked at the last minute. What’s good for the American people and the long-term health of the American economy doesn’t matter to these crooks. All they care about is pushing the stock market higher so their fat-cat friends can rake in more billions. Then, they get out of the market or short sell it when the inevitable collapse occurs and make even more, while millions of Americans struggle to survive.

  The longer the Federal Reserve keeps the stock market inflated and unsustainable businesses capitalized, the more people will be unemployed when it’s over. Not only will people be unemployed, but prices will be higher because of the Fed’s inflation. When the price of money goes down, the price of everything else goes up.

  The media isn’t telling you any of this. They’re telling you there is no inf
lation and unemployment is low. These are all lies based on skewed government statistics. This didn’t start under Obama. They’ve been manipulating these numbers for a long time, under Democratic and Republican presidents. Presidents of both parties are completely complicit in all of it.

  Look into something called the president’s Working Group on Financial Markets.2 That’s where the White House and the Fed get together to conspire on how to make the markets go up, no matter what the cost to the rest of us. It’s also referred to as the Plunge Protection Team. Note that it was created by Ronald Reagan, a Republican.

  The White House and the Fed have other accomplices in misleading the public. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says unemployment is down to 5.6 percent. Everyone knows that’s not true. That’s because they don’t count unemployment the same way they used to. When an unemployed person gives up looking for work, they stop counting him or her as unemployed. That doesn’t mean they have a job. They’re just not counted.

  Occasionally, someone from the establishment is courageous enough to call out these deceptions. Jim Clifton, the CEO and chairman of Gallup, did just that when he penned an article called “The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment.” In it, he wrote:

  Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren’t throwing parties to toast “falling” unemployment.

  There’s another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you’re an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20—maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn—you’re not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.3
