Israel's African Illegals: A Lesson For "Palestine​?"..........................from Dan Friedman

[Faced with a tide of African “infiltrators” infiltrating into Israel by way of the Sinai, the Israeli government has been uncharacteristically direct and decisive while trying to solve this thorny problem in a humane way. Confronted with Israel’s new strategy, including monetary incentives and beefed up security at the Egyptian border, many of these illegals are now leaving Israel voluntarily. And most surprising, there has been little Israel-bashing by the usual suspects in the media and on the left, and no resolutions from the UN either. The lessons learned from this success can, and should, be applied to the Arabs occupying Jewish land in Judea and Samaria. As Jabotinsky stated around the beginning of the last century, once the “Palestinians” (a word he never used) are convinced the Jews are in Israel to stay and aren’t going anywhere, the Arabs residing there will become a different people. More docile and much less aggressive about their illegitimate claims to Jewish patrimony. But first Israel has some convincing to do. The first step is to make a small amendment to its foundational documents - and its school books – that tells the world who’s boss in the Jewish state and why it exists. Here’s my suggestion: Israel, of the Jews, for the Jews, by the Jews. Then Israelis will have to live like they mean it. After that, and only after that, might there emerge a semblance of peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. df]

 

 

Israel Hayom, March 27, 2014

Since start of year, 4,000 African migrants leave Israel voluntarily

"Number of infiltrators leaving Israel is five times more than in the past," says Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar • Upward trend began in December, after Knesset passed revised version of infiltration law.

A History of the Disastrous Global Warming Hoax

By Alan Caruba

“It is the greatest deception in history and the extent of the damage has yet to be exposed and measured,” says Dr. Tim Ball in his new book, “The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science”.

Dr. Ball has been a climatologist for more than forty years and was one of the earliest critics of the global warming hoax that was initiated by the United Nations environmental program that was established in 1972 and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established in 1988.

Several UN conferences set in motion the hoax that is based on the assertion that carbon dioxide (CO2) was causing a dramatic surge in heating the Earth. IPCC reports have continued to spread this lie through their summaries for policy makers that influenced policies that have caused nations worldwide to spend billions to reduce and restrict CO2 emissions. Manmade climate change—called anthropogenic global warming—continues to be the message though mankind plays no role whatever

.

There is no scientific support for the UN theory.

CO2, despite being a minor element of the Earth’s atmosphere, is essential for all life on Earth because it is the food that nourishes all vegetation. The Earth has passed through many periods of high levels of CO2 and many cycles of warming and cooling that are part of the life of the planet.

“Science works by creating theories based on assumptions,” Dr. Ball notes, “then other scientists—performing their skeptical role—test them. The structure and mandate of the IPCC was in direct contradiction of this scientific method. They set out to prove the theory rather than disprove it.”

“The atmosphere,” Dr. Ball notes, “is three-dimensional and dynamic, so building a computer model that even approximates reality requires far more data than exists and much greater understanding of an extremely turbulent and complex system.” No computer model put forth by the IPCC in support of global warming has been accurate, nor ever could be.

Most of the reports were created by a small group of men working within the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia and all were members of the IPCC. The result was “a totally false picture supposedly based on science.”

The revelations of emails between the members of the CRU were made available in 2009 by an unknown source. Dr. Ball quotes Phil Jones, the Director of the CRU at the time of the leaks, and Tom Wigley, a former director addressing other CRU members admiting that “Many of the uncertainties surrounding the cause of climate change will never be resolved because the necessary data are lacking.”

The IPCC depended upon the public’s lack of knowledge regarding the science involved and the global warming hoax was greatly aided because the “mainstream media bought into and promoted the unproven theory. Scientists who challenged were denied funding and marginalized. National environmental policies were introduced based on the misleading information” of the IPCC summaries of their reports.

“By the time of the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report, the politics and hysteria about climate change had risen to a level that demanded clear evidence of a human signal,” notes Dr. Ball. “An entire industry had developed around massive funding from government. A large number of academic, political, and bureaucratic careers had evolved and depended on expansion of the evidence. Environmentalists were increasing pressure on the public and thereby politicians.”

The growing problem for the CRU and the entire global warming hoax was that no clear evidence existed to blame mankind for changes in the climate and still largely unknown to the public was the fact that the Earth has passed through many natural cycles of warmth and cooling. If humans were responsible, how could the CRU explain a succession of ice ages over millions of years?

The CRU emails revealed their growing concerns regarding a cooling cycle that had begun in the late 1990s and now, some seventeen years later, the Earth is in a widely recognized cooling cycle.

Moreover, the hoax was aimed at vast reductions in the use of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as nuclear power to produce the electricity on which all modern life depends. There was advocacy of solar and wind power to replace them and nations undertook costly programs to bring about the reduction of the CO2 “fossil fuels” produced and spent billions on the “green” energy. That program is being abandoned.

At the heart of the hoax is a contempt for mankind and a belief that population worldwide should be reduced. The science advisor to President Obama, John Holdren, has advocated forced abortions, sterilization by introducing infertility drugs into the nation’s drinking water and food, and other totalitarian measures. “Overpopulation is still central to the use of climate change as a political vehicle,” warns Dr. Ball.

Given that the environmental movement has been around since the 1960s, it has taken decades for the public to grasp its intent and the torrents of lies that have been used to advance it. “More people,” notes Dr. Ball, “are starting to understand that what they’re told about climate change by academia, the mass media, and the government is wrong, especially the propaganda coming from the UN and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”

“Ridiculous claims—like the science is settled or the debate is over—triggered a growing realization that something was wrong.”  When the global warming advocates began to tell people that cooling is caused by warming, the public has realized how absurd the entire UN climate change argument has been.

Worse, however, has been “the deliberate deceptions, misinformation, manipulation of records and misapplying scientific method and research” to pursue a political objective. Much of this is clearly unlawful, but it is unlikely that any of those who perpetrated the hoax will ever be punished and, in the case of Al Gore and the IPCC, they shared a Nobel Peace Prize!

We are all in debt to Dr. Ball and a score of his fellow scientists who exposed the lies and debunked the hoax; their numbers are growing with thousands of scientists signing petitions and participating in international conferences to expose this massive global deception.

Why Texas is Booming: How Low Taxes & Small Government are Transforming the Lone Star State

"A state like this where you see so much growth and so much change...having a limited government apparatus on top of that and a robust private sector has been really good for us," says Erica Grieder, senior editor of Texas Monthly and author of the book Big, Hot, Cheap, and Right: What America Can Learn from the Strange Genius of Texas. "For the past 10 to 12 years, every economic metric you look at is better than the country as a whole—is better than what you see in most states—and is also pretty broad-based."

No bees, no food: John Miller at TEDxUNC

Commercial beekeeper John Miller has fought to help keep our world's natural pollinators alive. "The link between plants and bees is a seductive life cycle, and for 120 years my family has kept bees," he said, describing what he believes is the best job ever. However, over the last 70 years, America has lost half of its bee colonies due to their inability to find pasture, the increasing harm from pesticide and the viral predator bug, the verroa destructor. He came to TEDxUNC to remind us- no bees, no food.

Flying Wisdom...............

Sage Advice for Flyers Authors Unknown Historic illustration credits and appreciation go to Gil Walker

Flying Rules to Live By   1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.   2. Do not go near the edges of it.   3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.     4. The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Shit".   5.Weather forecasts are horoscopes with numbers.

6. Progress in airline flying: Now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant.   7, Airspeed, altitude or brains: Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight.

8. A smooth landing is mostly luck; two in a row is all luck; three in a row is prevarication.   9.I remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous.   10.We have a perfect record in aviation: we never left one up there!

11.If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter - and unsafe.   12. Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for the purpose of storing dead batteries.

13. Navy carrier pilots to Air Force pilots: Flaring is like squatting to pee.   14. Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground incapable of understanding it.   15.What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, the pilot dies.   16.If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to.   H/T Shelly

What Obama can do to Punish the Russians........................

Much has been said about what Obama should do to hurt the Russian economy. To me the plan is simple:



1) ban the use of coal in Russia,

2) mandate that Russia goes on Obamacare,

3) don't allow any drilling on Russian public land,

4) have the EPA pass rulings on Russian business,

5) re-define the full time Russian work week to 30 hrs,

6) raise the Russian minimum wage,

7) mandate overtime pay for gov’t employees.

8) Demand the Russian Government pay free Welfare benefits to un-qualified Citizens and Illegal immigrants.



I could go on but I guarantee these measures would bring the Russia economy to its knees; it has been working in the U. S. since 2009.
