Laughable Hypocrisy from the Thick Book of EU Lies and Hypocritical Statements

By News Desk

Here’s one for the thick book of EU lies and hypocritical statements " Deposit guarantees only protect against bankruptcy, not levies " Guarantees on deposits in the European Union are only there if a bank completely collapses, and does not protect from fiscal steps decided by parliaments, the European Commission said on Tuesday, defending a decision to impose a levy in Cyprus. Excuse Me! What are the Cyprus banks, if not shutdown, collapsed, and bankrupt

NATO Proxies Using WMD’s in Syria – Dozens Dead

By News Desk

Links NATO Proxies Using WMD’s in Syria – Dozens Dead March 19, 2013 (LD) UPDATED – After a 10 year war/occupation in Iraq, the death of over a million people including thousands of US soldiers, all based on patently false claims of the nation possessing "weapons of mass destruction," (WMDs), it is outrageous hypocrisy to see the West arming, funding, and politically backing terrorists in Syria who in fact both possess, and are now using such weapons against the Syrian people. At least 25 are reported dead after a chemical weapons attack targeting Syrian soldiers was carried out by NATO-backed terrorists in the northern city of Aleppo. While NATO-backed terrorists claim they lack the "expertise" to even use chemical weapons, it was reported by CNN in their December 2012 article, " Sources: U.S

UPDATE:  An English version of Jos Hagelaars Dutch  post is now available on Our Changing Climate.  Eli appreciates their recognition that this indeed is the Wheelchair Curve Jos Hagelaar s splicing of the Shakun, Marcott, HadCRUT4 and CMIP5 A1B temperature anomaly reconstructions is clearly going to become iconic .  Icons, like the hockey stick, need names.  Eli was playing around with a few, the beach chair,  the Barca lounger the airplane seat, none quite fit, until the Rabett thought about what we are doing to our world Oh yes, FWIW, the spike at the end is the instrumental record and the CMIP5 models of our future based on our current behavior and has nothing to do with how accurate the Marcott reconstruction is at recent times.  Indeed that is the strength of Hagelaar’s wheelchair, that it uses multiple sources to give us the big picture in one figure.

From Smoldering Ashes Comes Good News of Reality

By News Desk

It’s easy enough to focus on the smoldering ashes of the politically and economically insane move in Cyprus by the heavy-handed bureaucrats in Brussels and Germany. Instead, I suggest we focus on the bright side, and there is plenty to be found. The nannycrats have been permanently exposed as liars Trust is gone Everyone can now clearly see that deposit guarantees were a lie Realization has set in that in spite of nannycrat denial, this will happen again The move in Cyprus will strengthen the Five Star Movement in Italy The move in Cyprus will embolden the separatists in Spain The move in Cyprus will strengthen UKIP in Great Britain The move in Cyprus is even likely to strengthen Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) Eurobonds and joint budgets are exposed as dead In Germany, Merkel is likely to have won a Pyrrhic victory (if indeed she won anything at all) Sensible people now realize all this talk of European solidarity is a gigantic lie Even ardent supporters of the eurozone are now starting to question its existence That is one heck of a lot of good things for the bargain basement price of a mere €5.8 billion

Cyprus Banks Closed Until Thursday; "Solution is Feasible, Can Be Extrapolated to Spain", Says Spanish Economist; Lies of the Day

By News Desk

Direct robbery of Spanish citizens would net Spain about €120 Billion according to economist Niño Becerra who says ” Cyprus Solution is Feasible, Can Be Extrapolated to Spain ” Santiago Niño Becerra, Professor of Economics at the University Ramon Llull in Barcelona, says a tax as imposed on Cyprus in exchange for bailout, would be possible and that “it is very clean, unlike a freeze all balances, which would be a mess.” Through his twitter account, Niño Becerra says it would be more painful for Cypriots if “the bailout were to occur in the form of public debt.” The Spanish government was quick yesterday to claim the Cyprus solution was not applicable to other countries.

The pertinent question for today is “How many lies will people believe?” I ask that because a German government spokesman says The compulsory levy to pay the depositors in Cyprus, was a special case as Merkel guarantees German deposits for the first time since 2008. The compulsory levy to pay the depositors in Cyprus, is a “special case”, says the Chancellor.

Jos Hagelaars has spliced together Shakun et al, Marcott et al, HadCRUT4 and the A1B scenario Hogelaars points out that Marcott pretty much agrees with previous work where there is overlap and it is indeed a wonder how many posts that Willard Tony’s gang is generating on this.  As for climate audit, well in Jos’ words the “statistical wonderboy McIntyre blogs merrily along. The reader would otherwise come to the conclusion that humans strongly influencing the climate, and of course that is not exactly desirable.” An important point in Marcott is that it pretty well delineates the start of the Anthropocene , about 150 years ago, when we added the blade to the hockey stick Google does a fair job translating and Eli will not step on Jos and Bart’s toes by attempting same (Dutch is close enough to German that Eli can Grok it given incentive)
