Ecofascism is alive and well.
It is the height of irony (or maybe just hypocrisy) that the anti-fossil-fuel zealots equate climate crisis skeptics with Holocaust deniers. These zealots seem pretty adept at polishing their own fascist credentials:
Use police power to make sure everyone toes the party line? Check.
Self-appointed Planet Savior Al Gore recently told the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) annual meeting, “I believe for a carbon company to spend money convincing the stock-buying public that the risk from the global climate crisis is not that great represents a form of stock fraud because they are misrepresenting a material fact. I hope these state attorney generals (sic) around the country will take some action on that.”
Those are my italics in that quote. Not only has the debate surrounding catastrophic anthropogenic climate change ended, what was hitherto a hypothesis is now legally indisputable fact, according to Obergrünenfuhrer Gore. Should I have placed an SEC-type disclaimer at the top of this blog?
Heidi Cullen, The Weather Channel’s self-styled “climate expert” (really, that’s her blog byline title) wrote in her TWC blog, “If a meteorologist can’t speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the [American Meteorological Society] shouldn’t give them a Seal of Approval.”
On the other hand, break the law to attack those you have demonized as the enemy? Check.
At the same CGI meeting, Gore exhorted his younger disciples, “If you’re a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration.”
We have already seen instances of ecoterrorism, and here’s a broad appeal from a Nobel Prize-winning political figure exhorting youthful zealots to inflict at least economic damage to the demonized enemy. Will energy suppliers eventually face their own Kristallnacht?
Indoctrinate the very young, as they are pliable, convenient, and ubiquitous monitors of dissent? Check.
The New York Times recently reported on a growing trend of children hectoring their parents to hew to the Gospel According to Gore. The article refers to what experts say is “a growing army of ‘eco-kids’—steeped in environmentalism at school, in houses of worship, through scouting, and even via popular culture—who try to hold their parents accountable at home. Amid their pride in their children’s zeal for all things green, the grown-ups sometimes end up feeling like scofflaws under the watchful eye of the pint-size eco-police, whose demands grow ever greater, and more expensive. They pore over garbage bins in search of errant recyclables. They lobby for solar panels. And, in a generational about-face, they turn off the lights after their parents leave empty rooms.”
The Times article quotes a Natural Resources Defense Council spokeswoman as saying, “One of the fascinating things about children is that they don’t separate what you are doing from what you should be doing. Here’s this information about how we can help the environment, and kids are not able to rationalize it away the way that adults do.”
Yes, we certainly wouldn’t want our kids to “rationalize” imposing their beliefs on others. Read the Times article at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/nyregion/10green.html?_r=2&th=&emc=th&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
So where are the kids getting the party line? A lot of teachers are showing Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth in classrooms. Harry Potter and Huckleberry Finn get banned by some school boards, and the cinematic Mein Kampf of ecofascism gets not just a pass but mandatory viewing in classrooms? Then again, films, unlike textbooks, are not chosen by school boards. Stage 1: Die grünen Jungvolk; Stage 2: Gore-Jugend.
Prepare a Final Solution? Check.
Anthony Watts, a meteorologist who operates a weather technology and content business, reports that Aussie TV network Australian Broadcasting Corp. has created a website that helps kids calculate their carbon footprint through an interactive game that inflates a cartoon pig as the carbon tally mounts until it explodes into bloody bits: “When you’re done, click on the (skull and crossbones) to find out what age you should die at so you don’t use more than your fair share of Earth’s resources!”
Check it out at http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/05/31/tv-network-tells-kids-when-their-carbon-footprint-says-they-should-die/
Maybe the ecofascists will eventually feel so guilty about their own carbon dioxide exhalations that they end up “drinking the Kool-Aid,” thereby leaving plenty of carbon footprint for the rest of us to share. (And my pig won’t explode and tell me I should have died 49 years ago).
Was that over the top? Or was it in keeping with a mindset that insists that the earth won’t recover from environmental damage until humanity has disappeared? Or that humanity is a cancer on the face of the earth? Or that the ongoing economic meltdown would be good for the environment because of its crippling effects on carbon-adding economic activity?
Is the Gospel According to Gore that extreme? It’s not as if there isn’t precedent in the environmental movement, which was launched with Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, the book that led to the nearly universal ban on widespread DDT spraying to control mosquito-borne malaria outbreaks.
Robert Gwadz of the National Institutes of Health estimated in 2007 that “The ban on DDT may have killed 20 million children” in developing countries due to outbreaks of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases that were curbed by DDT spraying.
I guess the ecofascists would consider that earth-friendly “population control.”

China, the biggest greenhouse-gas emitter, offered last week to lower its CO2 output relative to the size of its economy while the U.S., the second-worst polluter, pledged to cut its carbon emissions by 2020. Scientists have said, based on forecasts of rising sea levels Glaciers and ice sheets are melting in Antarctica and Greenland and ocean water occupies more volume the warmer it is. - Nikki

I just took my PSP out of the cupboard after a long time. It has the custom firmware 2.71 SE-B” installed. Since I’ve been out of the scene for quite a while I really have no clue where to start. I tried one of the threads in the tutorial section which advised me to update to 5.03 official firmware, but when I try doing that I get the “DADADADA” error (I guess because I already have a custom firmware). So what is the best method for me to get to the latest and greates custom firmware? And also, which one is the best custom firmware to use at the moment?

How do you patch an ISO, and can you determine that an ISO needs to be patched?
July 16th, 2010 at 8:42 am
I have a hacked psp 2000 with 5.50 GEN D-3 installed and it’s not reading any battery’s correctly. The “charge level” and “hours left” correspondingly are read at extremely low levels. For example: With a 91% 2200 mAh, the psp 2000 reads roughly 3 hours and 5 minutes. With a 100% 1200 mAh, the psp 2000 reads roughly 1 hour and 48 minutes.However when I put the same batterys into my alternative psp 2000 (5.50 GEN D-3) and/or my psp 3000 (6.20 OFW), the correct readings show: With a 90% 2200 mAh, the alternative psp 2000/3000 reads roughly 8 hours. With a 100% 1200 mAh, the alternative psp 200/300 reads roughly 4 hours and 20 minutes.

Recently after upgrading to GEN D3, I have been faced with an annoying (but not critical) bug were the X and O buttons swap. On the XMB it is normal where X is to confirm and O is to cancel, but as soon as the game launches, they swap and I don’t know why.

All I can think about is tobacco. I know i don’t plan to light up and if perhaps someone offered one here and now, I’d definetly refuse. I am in a fairly bad emotional state and have been having trouble sleeping but I understand I should end up being resilient. The health e-cigarette may make it easier in the end.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Americans are an accommodating people. We have been more than patient with the scum that accuse us of every evil that they themselves perpetrate. The so-called elites have had their run pounding us with the stick of multiculturalism and tolerance while we die by the thousands and watch our way of life being eroded by mass immigration of people who refuse to assimilate and expect us to accommodate their cultures and support them on welfare. While we are being taxed to death to support them, we are losing jobs to them and watching incomes decline due to competition for jobs.

Virtually all that is on my mind is cigs. I i’m sure i don’t like to light up and if someone offered a hit here and now, I will have to decline. I feel I’m in a fairly terrible state of mind and have been having trouble staying asleep nevertheless I do know I must turn out to be strong. The e-cigs may make it easier in the long run.
