New Study: Numerical and Science Literacy Cause Climate Change Skepticism
Friday, June 01, 2012 – by Staff Report
The more science you know, the less worried you are about climate change … ‘Abandon focus on sound science’, say trick-cyclists … A US government-funded survey has found that Americans with higher levels of scientific and mathematical knowledge are more sceptical regarding the dangers of climate change than their more poorly educated fellow citizens. The results of the survey are especially remarkable as it was plainly not intended to show any such thing: Rather, the researchers and trick-cyclists who carried it out were doing so from the position that the “scientific consensus” (carbon-driven global warming is ongoing and extremely dangerous) is a settled fact, and the priority is now to find some way of getting US voters to believe in the need for urgent, immediate and massive action to reduce CO2 emissions. – Register
Dominant Social Theme: Get rid of education altogether.
Free-Market Analysis: So now we learn from the Register, an IT publication, that numeracy raises skepticism about global warming. This apparently came as a shock to those who organized the study.

C/P:..{ During a heated conversation in the lobby of the Westfields Marriott hotel yesterday, Bilderberg members expressed their desire to see Ron Paul die in a plane crash, according to veteran journalist Jim Tucker’s inside source.}…Wow…
Go to Alex Jones site… Increíble lo que escuchamos en este momento..
Romney is very happy!…wow

@Daddy yep but sadly it is only a 1% difrence. but at least rational thought is still in the majority

A few years ago they did a DNA analysis of the Egyptian Pharo King Tut. I bet you never heard about the results. He was most closely related to white Europeans.

They would have us believe that all this money has disappeared into a black hole hence justifying the collossal overt printing to “save the economy”
But we know money doesn`t get destroyed, as if the winners of these derivative bets burn all their winnings. It has been created by leveraging up and then transferred into unregulated hedge fund accounts, the losing side of the rigged bet is covered by the muppets. This creates the ILLUSION that money has been lost from the system and the deluded idea that MORE money needs to be printed and/or siphoned off Kermit and his friends to fill the void/ pay off the fraudulent (90% derivative based) debt.
It`s like a weird hybrid fusion of counterfeiting and extortion at the same time.
A simplistic analogy
We have two sides of a trillion dollar bet, let`s say a billion down leveraged up to a trillion either side. One side wins, deleverages and walks away with a trillion dollars. The losing side loses the billion dollars and the investment bank that provided the leverage has “lost” 999 billion dollars which never existed to begin with. Because it is TBTF, it is “bailed out” – given 999 billion dollars which it never lost in the first place.
Overall, 2 trillion dollars have been added to the system. Even if the Investment Bank is not bailed out, nothing has been lost from the system.
Not a leaf would fall from a tree if people simply wiped out the derivatives.
But money has been added to the system (concealed by the wealth differential) as never before in world history. It is not in full circulation yet, although leakages occur. When the dam breaks (is blown up), Ludwig will turn in his grave.

Surely:
Well, Barclays is gutted, at least the capital division. I read this today:
“Yahoo Japan fell 3 percent after Barclay’s Capital said it faces slowing growth after years of steady profit expansion. Its prospects remain uncertain. ” Then I read the UBS is standing behind “the Name” in its rating of Barclays. Now, Barclays stayed clean regarding the Lehman fiasco. (JPMorgan paid that fine for destroying the bank) But how is Barclays going to survive the loss of Bankia, aka Spain? Do these royals/corporates believe they can just write reality according to their own name? Because they don’t have a name. They are corporate. And the Brits are so besotted and arrogant they are celebrating the Dimon Jubilee anyway. Because they exist solely for their own approbation!
I wondered today if I’m dwelling in a body declared British Crown Dependency, or if it is just my land. And I wondered at the absolute perfidy the Crown agents have shown the innocence dependent on their unjust rule. And I believe, I know, that the Lord will judge these folks according to their actions against that which was dependent on the British Crown: the planet. They surely have made a royal mess of things.
So, there they are having parties and wearing jumpers and sighing about being British. When British doesn’t even exist. They are German losers or French fops or cast-out celts and picts. As for the Scandinavians: they don’t exist in royal form on seats. Reality bites.
