We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day

– These are adjustments being made to five year average temperatures over the last century. I do not need to say where this comes from, do I? Blimey.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Hahaha as a Programmer myself I found the HARRY_READ_ME.txt file glorious!
Glad to see my skepticism has paid off so handsomely 🙂
Fudge? Make mine double!
I want this on a t-shirt.

Sounds like a geeky chatup line.
Fascinating and world moving as this is, I find the MSM’s lack of coverage of this to be confirmation of their pro-green statist agenda.
This, to me, proves how deeply in the pockets of the state the MSM is. As was mentioned in a previous post either they run with this and regain some mesure of crdibility, or they bury it and hammer the last nail in their coffin themselves.
Yeah, this is the kind of thing that truly puts paid to all those desperately claiming “move along, nothing to see here”. Abusing semantics and declaring that the scientists had innocent motives on the strength of the most weaselly interpretation of the language contained in the e-mails authored by them just won’t work when it comes to lines of code, such as the one shown above. Within this code lies the indisputable “smoking gun” of the deliberate and systematic distortion of results, and it’s what needs to be hammered home whenever a diehard climate change acolyte starts dissembling about the raw interaction of honest scientists, and the new evidence against the AGW people consisting of merely “cherry-picked and poorly-worded “gotcha” phrases…pulled out of context”.
I reckon most of you have seen this post at WUWT by now, but if you haven’t then get over there and have a laugh. The ‘Hide the Decline’ song is good, but if you scroll down in the comments the spoof of Imagine* is even better, and the Last Days of Hitler thing is brilliant.
*Ok, it’s a dirge, but lyrics like this certainly brighten it up:
Imagine there’s no Kyoto,
It isn’t hard to do,
Gas at 99cents a gallon,
And no carbon taxes too,
Imagine all the people,
Driving SUVs,
Yahoo may same I’m a denier,
But I’m not the only one.
