Animal rights activists claim McDonalds firebomb responsibility

Posted on by

After reading this article, it may prove both entertaining and informative to watch the Penn & Teller episode of Bullshit on PETA. I have checked the research and facts they present, some not all, but found it all checked out and used it successfully in on-air debates with PETA representatives. PETA and its sub-groups like ELF and ALF are genuine ideological terrorist groups and are part and parcel of the threat facing Western liberal democracy.

The Animal Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for Friday’s fire attack at a hamburger restaurant in Gothenburg, according to local media reports.

In a posting on the animal rights activists website Bite Back Magazine, those allegedly responsible described how they smashed two windows with hammers at the burger restaurant at the Scandinavium Center, poured ten liters of petrol in and set it alight.

The posting continued, “We were in a hurry as the sun had risen and it was light outside, so we threw the containers with written ALF-messages on them and some lighted matches into the restaurant and it went up in a big fire instantly. Burn in hell animal killers and capitalists!”

Nobody was in the restaurant at the time of the attack, said to be around 5 o’clock in the morning, though damage is extensive. Police have confirmed that the perpetators will face charges of aggravated arson.

On the Bite Back website activists also claimed responsibility for other attacks in Sweden including a hunting and fishing shop in Nyköping where windrows and doors were destroyed, a Pressbyrån shop in Eskilstuna and another McDonalds in the same city, where stones and tar bombs used to smash windows in the fast food joint.

Bite Back was founded in 2001 by Nicolas Atwood, an animal rights activist in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a mission to “support animal rights prisoners of conscience and report on current events in the struggle.”

The Battle of the Bulb

Posted on by

Totalitarianism comes in several flavours today. Religious and ‘environmental’. At the moment the environmental faction seems to be restricting individual liberties even faster than Muslims. I guess the good news is, once the Muslims have implemented the sharia, no one will give a damn what kind of lightbulbs you use.

From The Washington Times:

Liberty light

How Americans are allowed to light their homes is becoming the latest battleground over states rights. The Texas legislature has fired a broadside against a Federal law banning incandescent light bulbs. Under provisions in the 2007 “Energy Independence and Security Act,” traditional incandescent light bulbs will start to be phased out in January 2012, beginning with 100 watt bulbs. The purpose of the law is to promote more energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs by removing the competition. In the past Congress has banned products using public health, safety or welfare rationales, but the incandescent bulb is a proven, safe technology, more so than the bulbs that will replace it. So instead the Congress justified banning the bulbs under its power to regulate interstate commerce. But the Texas legislature has countered with a bill that allows continued manufacture and sale of incandescent bulbs within the state. Said Republican state representative George Lavender of Texarkana, “Let there be light.” As of this writing the bill is still awaiting signature from Governor Rick Perry. Continue Reading →

Phelim McAleer Takes on another fake environmentalist

Posted on by

I really like this guy. If you want to meet someone who actually cares about the environment and the people in it as well, watch everything you can of Phelim McAleer. I shot an interview with him at the first annual Free Thinking Film Festival in Ottawa last year and he was great. Youtube killed the channel but I will try and repost it here when I can find it.

Below, if I can get his embed code to work, is a short clip where he busts another anti-corporate moron who uses fake environmental data to try and destroy the energy industry and put development and civilization backwards. If I can’t, click here and see the clip on his page.

Below, the question and answer session with Phelim after a showing of his film, ‘Mine Your Own Business’

And below here, the interview I shot with him last year. Its really great to see him still showing the raw courage as well as self sacrifice it takes to take on these guys. There is no money in defending the facts and the truth. These ‘crypto-enviornmentalists’ however make a ton of government grants and private money from leftist groups for making up stuff about corporations not to mention how much harm they do to all of us and the cost they add through needless environmental checks. For residents of Ottawa, remember the $100,000.00 environmental impact study the city did before they could build a little footpath … over the canal … right in the middle of downtown?

The road to fascism is paved with good intentions and moral certainty.

It was said that “Those who do not believe in god then are open to believe in anything.” OK fair enough. But the problem lies with people who are so certain of what they believe that they are ready to re-create the worst of human authoritarianisms to enforce those beliefs. Check out this example from Australia, where crypto-enviornmentalism has reached the proportions of religion with totalitarian tendencies.

The author of this post might also need to be reminded that Al Gore already bought property on low lying land, specifically a five million dollar condo on beach front in San Fran. So I guess he also should be one of the first tattooed as clearly Gore doesn’t believe a word he says or he would never have bought a property that by his own admission should be underwater already.

The dangers of bone-headed beliefs

>June 6, 2011

    Illustration: Simon Letch.Illustration: Simon Letch.

    Surely it’s time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.

    Not necessarily on the forehead; I’m a reasonable man. Just something along their arm or across their chest so their grandchildren could say, ”Really? You were one of the ones who tried to stop the world doing something? And why exactly was that, granddad?”

    On second thoughts, maybe the tattooing along the arm is a bit Nazi-creepy. So how about they are forced to buy property on low-lying islands, the sort of property that will become worthless with a few more centimetres of ocean rise, so they are bankrupted by their own bloody-mindedness? Or what about their signed agreement to stand, in the year 2040, lashed to a pole at a certain point in the shallows off Manly? If they are right and the world is cooling – ”climate change stopped in the year 1998” is one of their more boneheaded beliefs – their mouths will be above water. If not …

    OK, maybe the desire to see the painful, thrashing death of one’s opponents is not ideal. But, my God, these people are frustrating. You just know that in 20 years’ time, when the costs of our inaction are clear, the climate deniers will become climate-denial-deniers. ”Who me? Oh, no, I always believed in it. Yes, it’s hard to understand why people back then were so daft. It’s so much more costly to stop it now.” Continue Reading →

    The curious case of the frozen windmills

    Posted on by

    Checkout Faustas blog for the latest Wind power fiasco. About how a whole wind farm froze and nary a Watt was produced for weeks. I hope the people who heat their homes from these windmills are Global Warming believers. Then at least they can take cold comfort from it.And as Fausta says, they freeze when they don’t blow up.

    Shame a child, save the planet. Kindergarten boy disqualified from teddy contest over Ziplock bag.

    Student barred over sandwich bag

    MONTREAL – A couple near Montreal is seeing red over a local school’s green policy that saw their son barred from a contest for having a Ziploc bag in his lunchbox.

    Isabel Theoret and her husband, Marc-Andre Lanciault, say their six-year-old son Felix was disqualified from a competition in his kindergarten class in suburban Laval after a teacher spotted his sandwich wrapping.

    “My girlfriend was trying to make him his lunch when (Felix) screamed ‘No, no Ziploc!’ ” Lanciault told QMI Agency this week. “When we asked why, he explained that he had been excluded from a contest to win a stuffed animal recently because his sandwich was in a bag and not in a Tupperware container.”

    Lanciault said the school rules smacked of “environmental dogmatism.”

    “I’m not upset that my son didn’t win a stuffed animal, far from it,” said Lanciault. “It’s that we’re brainwashed around environmental issues. I’m sure the teacher had good intentions but it’s as if we have stopped thinking.”

    The couple says the plastic bag policy ostracizes children and makes them feel guilty for their parents’ actions.

    “We’re talking about six-year-old kids,” said Lanciault. “What have they learned from this (policy)? They don’t remember the environmental message. What they remember is that … they could not win something because of it, so it’s wrong.”

    The local school board has not responded to interview requests.

    The boy’s ordeal struck a chord in the online community after his parents posted to Twitter, Facebook and a blog.

    “It’s crazy,” said Lanciault. “I would say that 80% of people say they agree with me and 20% don’t agree.”

    Among the dissenting commentators was one man who said Felix’s parents are part of the problem.

    “I see tons of Ziplocs in my street (and) on my lawn,” said the user, named Jerome. “There’s always someone throwing them out. Is it so hard to buy a reusable container that’s washed and kept for years?”

    Lanciault counters that environmentalism must sometimes give way to pragmatism.

    “I have three kids and I make three lunches a day,” he said. “There’s plenty of Tupperware. It has to be washed, so sometimes I use a Ziploc. Should the children be punished for that?”

    Canadian Immigration – Only The Shadow Knows

    By Frosty Wooldridge
    For anyone over 50, you will remember the radio show: The Shadow! For only The Shadow knows!

    And what does The Shadow know?
    In this continuing series, Canadian environmental expert Tim Murray becomes The Shadow. How can Canada keep relentless immigration without dire consequences?
    “The things that CBC Pravda and the mainstream media won’t tell you!” said Murray. “They won’t tell you that population growth cannot be decoupled from habitat and farmland loss or green house gas emissions!

    “They won’t tell you that Canada can’t add 350,000 consumers to its population every year without inflicting massive ecological damage! They won’t tell you that Canada has the highest population growth rate in the G8 group! They won’t tell you that mass immigration accounts for more than two-thirds of this growth, and that Canada has the highest per capita immigration intake in the world!

    “They won’t tell you that only 5% of Canada’s land surface consists of arable land, and that the best of it lies in the south and half of that in Ontario, which lost 600,000 acres in the decade after 1996! They won’t tell you that about 20% of the more than 15,000 square kilometres of irreplaceable farmland that was lost to urbanization was classified as “Class 1”—the very best!

    “They won’t tell you that most species-at-risk are found at the perimeter of growing urban centres, a growth substantially fuelled by immigration! They won’t you tell that Canada is a big “little” country. That like Antarctica, it has a large land surface, but not the means to support a large population! Or that Yellowknife in the North West Territories lies at the centre latitude of the country, a country of frigid temperatures! They won’t tell you that three scientific reports-report No. 25 of the Science Council of Canada, a confidential report to the Privy Council in 1991 and the Healey report of 1997—all documented the stress that population growth is putting on ecosystems and agricultural land!
    “They won’t tell you about Peak Oil and the implications it has for our food security! And that even if we preserved the farmland we have, its productivity would fall drastically without fossil fuel inputs!

    Lawrence Solomon: Has the IPCC discovered the Sun?

    Posted on by

    From the National Post:

    The IPCC is investigating the Sun as a driver of global warming

    The IPCC for the first time will investigate “in depth” the role of global cosmic rays in climate change, according to a report last week in the Hindustan Times.  Many solar and space scientists believe that cosmic rays, whose ability to enter Earth’s atmosphere is regulated by the Sun, are a dominant factor in global warming.

    The turnaround in the IPCC position was announced by the chairman of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, in a communication with India’s Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh. The announcement followed the release of a paper by U R Rao, the former chairman of Indian Space Research Organization, that showed cosmic rays alone were responsible for 40% of global warming. These findings by one of Pachauri’s most distinguished countrymen, rebutted IPCC claims that carbon dioxide and other man-made causes were responsible for more than 90% of global warming.  Ramesh, who commissioned Rao’s paper, in 2009 had also released a report rebutting the IPCC’s claims that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035. The IPCC subsequently retracted its claims in an embarrassment now known as “Glaciergate.”

    Until now, the IPCC has argued that the Sun is all-but-irrelevant to global warming, consistent with the IPCC’s very mandate, which dismisses the Sun as a major factor worthy of investigation. Ramesh is hopeful that Pauchari and the IPCC will now open their minds to dissenting scientists. ““There is a groupthink in climate science today,” the minister explained. “Anyone who raises alternative climate theories is immediately branded as a climate atheist in an atmosphere of climate evangelists.”

    The Danish National Space Center has pioneered the theory that cosmic rays, by seeding clouds, regulate Earth’s climate – the Danes astounded the scientific world when they actually created clouds in a chamber on Earth. A photo of the path-breaking Danish cloud chamber, and a brief explanation of the science, can be found here.

    Global Warming Summit in Cancun Opens with Prayer to Pagan Goddess Ixchel

    Ken Shepherd's picture
    During a congressional hearing in March 2009, manmade global warming skeptic Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) referred to God’s promise in the the book of Genesis to never again flood the entire Earth as one reason why he is dismissive of global warming alarmists.

    “The earth will end only when God declares its time to be over. Man will not destroy this earth. This earth will not be destroyed by a flood,” Shimkus insisted, after quoting from Genesis 8:22.

    Ever since then, the media have gone back from time to time to scoff at Shimkus’s statement, citing his religious beliefs as reason he should not considered credible when it comes to challenging climate change science.

    But if the media think that’s fair game, shouldn’t they apply the same standard to religious language employed by climate change alarmists like Christiana Figueres?

    After all, the executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change literally offered up a prayer to a pagan moon goddess on Monday during her opening statement at a UN climate conference convened in Cancun, Mexico.

    Here’s how Washington Post reporter Juliet Eilperin reported the story at the paper’s Post Carbon blog on Monday, November 29 (emphasis mine):

    Q&A session with Phelim McAleer, maker of ‘Not Evil Just Wrong’ and ‘Mine Your Own Business’

    Posted on by

    This was the Q&A session with the audience after a screening of his film, Not Evil Just Wrong’. I really loved the way he handled the questions. So direct and honest. Very refreshing. Frankly I think even the people who disagreed with him even found that to be the case. This was from day 2 of Fred Litwin’s Free Thinking Film Festival and took place right before the debate on Canada’s oil sands between Ezra Levant and Elisabeth May, leader of Canada’s Green Party.
