Climate change is not a scientific debate but vehicle of control...the Orwellian 'you will obey'
UK's Ofcom To Investigate Complaints Of Climate-Change Denial
Authored by Paul Homewood via notalotofpeopleknowthat blog,
This is frightening. Indeed it is truly Orwellian...
From the Guardian:
A U-turn by the UK’s broadcasting regulator Ofcom means it will investigate complaints of climate change denial on television and radio for the first time since 2017. The move marks a victory for campaigners who have accused the regulator of allowing some broadcasters “to spout dangerous climate lies” and “flout” rules on accuracy and impartiality.
Complaints about programmes on TalkTV and TalkRadio were assessed by Ofcom, which then decided not to investigate, the same result as more than 1,000 other climate complaints since 2020. However, after a letter from the Good Law Project (GLP) in January, requesting an explanation for the rejections, Ofcom said it had withdrawn its original decision and would “consider afresh” the complaints.
One complaint was about comments from a Talk guest who said in November that climate change “was a deliberate effort to create fake anxiety … out of something that is false”. In the second case, also in November, another guest said the Labour government’s energy policies were “suicidal”, “driven by pseudoscience in many cases” and “a kind of cultish behaviour”.
A reassessment led Ofcom to conclude its approach to “due impartiality” in the broadcasts “required reconsideration”, with the results of the investigations to be published in due course. Ofcom stuck by its decision to not investigate three other climate complaints.
“Rightwing channels have been allowed to spout dangerous climate lies, unchecked, for too long,” said a GLP spokesperson. “We’re glad Ofcom is finally listening and await the conclusion of the investigations. Should it fail to take action against Talk’s misinformation, we will not hesitate to hold them to account.”
An Ofcom spokesperson said: “In re-examining the programmes, we concluded that they raise potentially substantive issues under the broadcasting code which warrant investigation. We have, therefore, opened investigations [on] whether they breached our rules on due impartiality and material misleadingness.” Ofcom said it had also opened another climate-related investigation after a viewer complaint about another TalkTV programme.
A spokesperson for Talk said: “We, as we always would, will cooperate with Ofcom in these matters.”
Full story here.
The first point to make is that there are already rules in place to address factually inaccurate news reporting. But this is not what is at issue here.
OFCOM, it appears, now want to police free speech. Both of these new complaints concern the views of guests, not the journalists or presenters.
Guests on these sort of shows make all sorts of outlandish, and sometimes patently false, comments about all sorts of topics. That is their right. We still have something called freedom of speech in this country.
OFCOM does not get involved in these other cases, so why should they intervene when the topic is climate change?
This decision to intervene in free speech by OFCOM opens a whole new barrel of worms.
What will happen in future if somebody challenges the establishment line on, say, hurricanes?
There is a wide variety of scientific opinion on most climate topics. Will OFCOM be the new arbiter of which version is “correct”?
Will they ban anybody who dares offer a different opinion, or, heaven forbid, dare to quote some facts?
Maybe OFCOM will also ban all use of fraudulent weather attribution models, but I somehow doubt it!
This is a chilling suppression of free speech. “Truth” is fine, but who decides what is true and what is not? OFCOM? The Government? BBC? UN?
And it won’t stop with climate change. How long before we are not allowed to call Starmer the worst PM ever? Or dare to criticise his Government?
We will end up with George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth, where the Government decides what is right and what is wrong.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”
Wild San Francisco street fight shows young punks randomly bashing man in broad daylight
Wild San Francisco street fight shows young punks randomly bashing man in broad daylight
Wild video captured a pair of young goons who violently pummeled a man on the streets of San Franciscoin an apparently random attack.
The clips cuts in to man wearing a pink shirt and tan pants on his knees while one of the youngsters holds his head down and appears to kick and swing at the victim.
Another man can be seen intervening to chase off second cretin before pushing the first away and eventually grabbing onto his back.
The violence continued in front of several passers-by before eventually breaking up, with the young brutesfleeing down the street.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed the attack took place in the area of Market and Steuart streets in the Embarcadero.
“Officers were advised that two juveniles were observed assaulting a male prior to fleeing the area,” police said.
“Officers arrived on scene and located an adult male victim suffering from injuries associated with a possible assault. The victim declined further medical attention at the time for his injuries.”
SFPD said that a preliminary investigation found the man was simply walking when the young attackers went after him.
“During the incident, a bystander intervened to prevent the suspects from continuing to assault the victim. The suspects then fled the area heading westbound on Market Street,” police said.
Viewers of the clip expressed outrage at the unprovoked attack.
“Wow that’s pathetic,” one person wrote on Reddit. “We would go to the Embarcadero all the time as teenagers. And never did we even have the idea to attack anyone, let alone an adult.”
“Some kid is going to get stabbed over this,” another warned.
“Good thing I wore both guns tonight,” a third threatened.
No arrests had been made as of Saturday.
The bigotry against Israel is the latest political agenda conspired by Democrats
Michael Goodwin: The bigotry against Israel is the latest political agenda conspired by Democrats
One of the most infuriating signs of our troubled era is that you don’t have to dig very far into the political barrel to find the antisemites.
Although they have made deeper and broader inroads among Democrats, especially on the far-left, disheartening numbers of Republicans, independents and erstwhile conservatives are also guilty of embracing the ancient hatred.
A common sign among the haters these days is the crackpot claim that Jews, — Israeli and American, — hoodwinked President Trump into joining Israel’s war against Iran.
According to this theory, Trump and his White House were like so many innocent lambs being led to slaughter.
During his decade in politics, Trump has been vilified and insulted with every slur imaginable, including being called a rapist, a racist, a fraud and a Russian agent.
What the president should have done, his detractors insist, was have America mind its own damn business.
Most never cared for his America First idea, but now they condemn him for, as they see it, violating his vow.
Had he done what they wanted, the argument goes, Trump would have realized we have no reason to be concerned about Iran’s decades-long quest for regional domination.
Defense shield
All the more so because we’re energy independent, and we’ve given and sold Israel and the Gulf Arab states most of our latest and best weapons, including fighter jets, missile defenses and communication systems.
So Iran’s neighbors have the tools to do the job they now want the U.S. to do for them.
Besides, if Israel has nukes, who are they or we or they to say Iran doesn’t have the right to get them?
If Israel wants to stop Iran, go ahead, but leave us out of it, the critics say.
Neither should we be concerned, they argue, about Iran’s intercontinental ballistic missile program. Never mind that it was designed eventually to fire nukes at the “Little Satan,” — Israel, — and then at us, the “Great Satan.”
Since the day it seized power nearly 50 years ago, the regime’s obsession has been destroying Israel and the US.
Such cold, hard facts don’t deter the blame-the-Jews mob.
Nor are they concerned that nobody knew, until two weeks ago, how advanced the missile program actually is.
The realization came when Iran fired missiles more than 2,000 miles away at a joint U.K and U.S military base in the Indian Ocean.
The incident proved that the Islamist government was well on its way to being able to reach much of the world, including all of Europe and perhaps soon, the East Coast of the United States.
It’s not the first time conventional wisdom has been certain —and wrong.
Remember “Star Wars!?”
That was the scoffers’ way of mocking Ronald Reagan’s vision for a missile defense shield, which he unveiled in a 1983 speech.
It would never happen, they insisted.
Thankfully, Reagan didn’t listen to them, and the latest versions of the defense systems are saving countless lives of Americans, Israelis and others in the current conflict.
Yet a new generation of know-it-all idiots insist America would be fine if we just took care of our own business and let everyone else take care of theirs.
Especially when it comes to the Israelis.
It is not a coincidence that many of the anti-Israel types were foolishly claiming last year that the Jewish state was guilty of committing genocide in Gaza and that it was using starvation as a weapon.
The believers, including most of the American media, swallowed hook, line and sinker the daily lies of the Gazan’s Health Ministry.
You know antisemitism is going bipartisan when the Young Republicans chapter at the University of Florida is embroiled in a civil war, with some members accusing others of being Nazis.
Worse, a GOP gubernatorial candidate is involved in the battle.
James Fishback is a fierce critic of Trump’s support for Israel and has praised Nicholas Fuentes, whom the American Jewish Committee labels a white supremacist, antisemite and Holocaust denier.
One thing the antisemites will not admit is that, a month into the war against Iran, Israel has proven to be not only a true ally, but also a mighty and exceptionally skilled one.
Its intelligence gathering is probably the best in the world, and its ability to track Hezbollah and Iranian leaders into their bedrooms and deliver precise kill shots is remarkable.
Then there is that extraordinary exploding-pager operation carried out simultaneously against thousands of Hezbollah soldiers in Lebanon.
Over time, the planning and success should become as storied as the tale of theGreek Trojan Horse, with the distinction that the Israeli operation really happened.
Still, an important and consistent aspect of antisemitism is that it involves a double standard. And that condition is certainly present in the current situation.
Consider that, absent from the commentary and denunciation of America’s role in the Iran war is the admission that Israel is not alone in wanting us to stick around and help finish the job.
Who else is pushing for that?
The Gulf Arab states, meaning Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
Each has been the target of thousands of Iranian drones and missiles, most of which have been intercepted, but some have caused significant damage and deaths.
For example, an attack on Qatar’s natural gas facilities knocked out 17% of its export capacity at an estimated cost of $20 billion, NBC reported.
Iranian attacks also targeted a Saudi port on the Red Sea, an Emirates port and a Saudi oil field and two refineries.
Each will take years to repair, with the cost contributing to higher global energy prices.
A key difference between those countries and Israel is that they have not provided meaningful military help in the battle against Iran.
Arab states’ plea
Despite being attacked almost daily by Iranian weapons and issuing statements of protest, the Arab states are content to let America and Israel do their fighting for them.
As the Jerusalem Post reported, Arab states are “telling the US that any deal with Tehran should do more than end the war.”
Reuters says the same nations are urging America not to stop until it permanently curbs Iran’s missile system and diminishes its other capabilities.
Those countries did not urge America to start the war, but they don’t want it stop yet out of a fear that letting Iran’s power survive will make it a permanent threat to their infrastructure and economies.
Where’s the angry claim that Trump has been hoodwinked by the Arabs into spilling American blood and treasure for them?
Why is there no demand from the antisemites that the Arabs fend for themselves?
Sadly, the reason is a very old story: No Jews, no news.

Here is the real threat to democracy in America!
Published March 28, 2026 1:02pm EDT
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide "No Kings" protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a "revolution," according to a Fox Digital News investigation.
According to a copy of the permit for the "flagship" march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.
But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China.
Over nearly a decade, Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary socialist politics and frequently collaborate in protest campaigns, including the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition and CodePink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham. These groups work closely with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.
They are all sending members to the protests and one group said they plan to bring a message of "revolution" to the protests.
On Friday evening, at the corner of N. Fremont Avenue and N. 37th Avenue in Minneapolis, members of the Twin Cities chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation packed a car with stacks of bright red protest signs they had prepared at the Dream Shop for Saturday’s demonstrations. They are part of the Singham network and co-sponsors of the St. Paul protest.
The posters read "NO KINGS. NO WAR." with "PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION" printed at the bottom. Activists stacked the signs upside down with their wooden picket handles attached as they loaded them into the vehicle, preparing to distribute them at the next day's main protest at the state capitol in St. Paul.
'NO KINGS' CALLS ITSELF LEADERLESS, BUT ITS OWN INTERNAL DOCUMENTS TELL A VERY DIFFERENT STORY
Across the country, similar preparations have been underway among socialist, communist and Marxist activist groups from the Singham network that have openly discussed using the demonstrations to spread what they describe as revolutionary organizing.
In New York, the People's Forum called on members to join the New York #NoKings protest. It's an organizing hub in the Singham network and sent Americans to Cuba in recent days to defend the communist regime there.In Washington, D.C., Party for Socialism and Liberation called on supporters to assemble as part of a "Socialist Contingent."
In Grand Rapids, Mich., the Freedom Road Socialist Organization instructed supporters to gather at the Rosa Parks Circle stage at noon as part of what it described as the "Anti-Trump Contingent."
Freedom Road Socialist Organization activists have previously led aggressive demonstrations targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis. The group has an image on Instagram, using an upside-down triangle symbol that Hamas used to mark targets during attacks in Israel.
One message said, "People everywhere are becoming increasingly hostile to the Trump agenda, and more sympathetic to revolution. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines, it's the time to go out and join the people, get our revolutionary message in front of them, and turn a day of protest into long-term gains for the people's movements." Communist leaders talk about "people's movements."
Posts circulating among socialist activist networks also explained "Why socialists should mobilize to the No Kings protests this weekend."
"It’s the time to go out and join the people, get out our revolutionary message in front of them and turn a day of protest into long-term gains for the people’s movement," one message said.
In Detroit, activists from Anakbayan, an organization aligned with communist movements in the Philippines, joined other groups within the Singham activist ecosystem.
Posts circulating from activists associated with the Denver chapter of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization included imagery referencing the Red Army Choir, Soviet symbolism and historical figures including Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong.
The Maine chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, working with activists connected to Democratic Socialists of America and the ANSWER Coalition, called on supporters to join what organizers described as a "Unified Leftist Contingent."
The message instructed activists to meet at the southwest corner of Montgomery Park, declaring that the contingent would stand against "imperialism, capitalism and state violence."
"These systems don’t fall without pressure," the message said. "We are here to organize, disrupt and build power to win something new."
The network’s messaging for the #NoKings echoes Singham’s own rhetoric describing the United States as a form of "fascism" and advocating organizing strategies rooted in Mao Zedong’s doctrine of a "People’s War," which calls for revolutionary movements to embed themselves inside broader political struggles and radicalize them from within.

That strategy helps explain why the socialist groups are mobilizing inside the much larger demonstrations organized by mainstream progressive organizations, experts say. Large protests create massive audiences and national media attention, allowing smaller ideological movements to spread their messaging, recruit activists and build momentum for campaigns that extend well beyond a single day of demonstrations.
CodePink circulated graphics tying the protests to anti-imperialist messaging.
CodePink called for members to join demonstrations in cities including Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and New York, linking the protests to opposition to U.S. policy toward Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and Palestine. Actress Jane Fonda joined a CodePink protest some days ago, protesting the war in Iran, and she will be at the St. Paul demonstration today.
One CodePink poster reads: "NO WAR. NO IMPERIALISM. NO KINGS."
In recent weeks, the group has supported Venezuelan strongman Nicholas Maduro, the late Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, President Xi Jinping.
