GLADIO
NATO'S SECRET ARMY

"Operation GLADIO was a clandestine Cold War operation, run by European secret services, collaborating with NATO, the CIA and Britain's MI6 and Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) against a possible Soviet invasion, internal communist takeovers, or the political left gaining power.
The network included France, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Luxemburg, as well as politically neutral European countries Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland.
Named "Gladio" (Latin for double-edged sword), NATO's armies remained secret until August 1990, when then Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti confirmed Italy's participation in testimony before a Senate subcommittee investigating terrorism.
... A 2000 Italian parliamentary investigation concluded that GLADIO operatives linked to the structures of United States intelligence were involved in bombings, massacres, and other terrorist attacks as part of a campaign against the political left."

Stephen Lendman

"A former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people's support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. These false flags included:
* The murder of the Turkish Prime Minister (1960)
* Bombings in Portugal (1966)
* The Piazza Fontana massacre in Italy (1969)
* Terror attacks in Turkey (1971)
* The Peteano bombing in Italy (1972)
* Shootings in Brescia, Italy and a bombing on an Italian train (1974)
* Shootings in Istanbul, Turkey (1977)
* The Atocha massacre in Madrid, Spain (1977)
* The abduction and murder of the Italian Prime Minister (1978)
* The bombing of the Bologna railway station in Italy (1980)
* Shooting and killing 28 shoppers in Brabant county, Belgium (1985)"

"In Italy, a number of 'coup attempts' [Operation Gladio in Europe after WWII] took place (in 1964, 1970, 1973 and 1974), though all were called off at critical moments once the government had been reminded of the existence of the 'security state': the real 'sovereign'. In these cases, various liaison officers, generals and fascist leaders exerted an effective veto on government policy by informing the prime minister that a coup had been set in progress, warning that he would have to suffer the consequences if he did not back down on his policy."

Ola Tunander

"Operation Gladio B is a classified ongoing expansion of the original Operation Gladio in which NATO countries created an anti-communist paramilitary terrorist network which carried out false flag operations throughout western Europe during the cold war. Instead, it is now expanded internationally and working with Al Qaeda and other groups that feature in the war on terror narrative. It has a designated office at the Pentagon."

"A Jordanian official reported ISIS leaders being trained by U.S. Intelligence at a CIA base in Jordan which were then used for [false flag] destabilization operations in Syria and later in Iraq. Nabil Na'eem, the founder of the Islamic Democratic Jihad Party and former top al-Qaeda commander, told the Beirut-based pan-Arab TV station al-Maydeen all current al-Qaeda affiliates, including ISIS, work for the CIA. "Key members of ISIS were trained by US CIA and Special Forces command at a secret camp in Jordan in 2012, according to informed Jordanian officials."

F. William Engdahl

"It is primarily Central Asia's strategic geopolitical location - truly at the continent's center - and the broadly undesirable course of events that could emerge if the region were to drift toward instability, that constitute the primary American interest Thus, given the potential for untoward developments in the region for Western interests, modest hands-on American influence in the region is desirable."

Graham Fuller - a former CIA station chief in Kabul, Afghanistan

"Gladio B network includes the intersection between Muslim extremists, drug runners, terrorists and money launderers with the upper levels of the US State Department, Pentagon and NATO."

James Corbett

"At least until 1978, the Israeli secret service infiltrated Italian subversive organizations and on more than one occasion gave arms, money and information to the terrorist Red Brigades. The Israeli plan was to reduce Italy to a country torn by civil war so that the United States would have to depend more on Israel for security in the Mediterranean."

Italian senior magistrate Ferdinando Imposimato

"In the 1970s (up to 1980), only 5 to 10 per cent of the Swedish population believed in a direct Soviet threat. In 1983, however, after a series of submarines turned up within densely populated Swedish archipelagos, 42 per cent of the population viewed the Soviet Union as a direct threat; and the percentage of people viewing the Soviet Union as unfriendly went from 27 per cent to 83 per cent over the same period. Thus, in collaboration with trusted individuals within Sweden, US forces seem to have been able to change the mindset of the population and the government almost overnight. Members of the Swedish 'security state', or 'deep state', acted in collaboration with their US counterparts to deceive the Swedish government and public. These PSYOPs - psychological or 'perception management' operations - were run outside the law."

Ola Tunander

"After the Cold War had ended, then Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti confirmed to the Italian Senate in August 1990 that Italy had had a secret stay-behind army, codenamed Gladio - the sword. A document dated 1 June 1959 from the Italian military secret service, SIFAR, revealed that SIFAR had been running the secret army with the support of NATO and in close collaboration with the US secret service, the CIA."

Swiss historian Daniele Ganser in his 2004 book "NATO's Secret Armies"

"The Gladio system has operated for four decades under various names. It has operated clandestinely, and we are entitled to attribute to it all the destabilization, all the provocation and all the terrorism that have occurred in our countries over these four decades."

Greek parliamentarian Vassilis Ephremidis

"The existence of Gladio B was revealed by FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds. She revealed regular meetings between senior US intelligence agents and current leader of Al Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri at the U.S. embassy in Azerbaijan and Baku starting in 1997 and continuing right up to the 9/11 attacks. In addition to al-Zawahiri, members of the bin Laden family (including Osama Bin Laden) and other mujahideen were transported by NATO aircraft to Central Asia and the Balkans to participate in false flag "destabilization operations". Other operatives were also flown, on US Intelligence orders, to Turkey, to train and prepare to participate in these operations, in locations where some of the 9/11 hijackers were also being trained. Additionally, Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri worked with the U.S. government for 3 months after 9/11 to coordinate false flag destabilization operations in the Caucus region. A Turkish and Israeli run network paid top intelligence officials to steal nuclear weapon secrets that were sold on the international black market to countries like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. These and other allegations were confirmed by tthe Sunday Times [London] after speaking to Pentagon and MI6 sources, and by obtaining a document signed by an FBI official confirming the operation's existence. However, apparently due to pressure from political intelligence committees, it the document itself was never published."

"Gladio B is projecting U.S. power in the former Soviet sphere of influence to access previously untapped strategic energy and mineral reserves for U.S. and European companies; pushing back Russian and Chinese power; and expanding the scope of lucrative criminal activities, particularly illegal arms and drugs trafficking."

FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds

"There are vital strategic interests for the US and its allies in the Central Asia-Caucasus that make it a prime target for covert operations.
"Strategy of tension" operations [in the Central Asia-Caucasus region] have been conducted in the past by people we know were linked to NATO's covert army;
There are a number of influential people operating in and around the region and in close cooperation with the Turkish deep state, American intelligence, the Pentagon and NATO who seem to be involved with ongoing operations today related to the fostering of religious sectarianism in the region."

James Corbett

"In early 1970s, Italian and US intelligence and secret service agents [Operation Gladio] were able to assume vital positions at the highest levels of Italy's Red Brigades. In 1974, the left-wing leadership of the Red Brigades had been arrested, facilitating the 'takeover' of the organisation by the US and Italian services. This resulted in the launch of a range of professional military operations, a period of 'blind terror' and a radical increase in the number of attacks being carried out within Italy."

Ola Tunander

"Members of Operation Gladio were supposed to attack civilians, women, children, innocent people outside the political area, for one simple reason: to force the Italian public to turn to the State, to turn to the regime, and ask for greater security. It was precisely the role of the RIght in Italy. It placed itself at the service of the State which created a strategy aptly called the "Strategy of Tension", in so far as they had to get people to accept that at any moment over a period of thirty years, from1960 to the mid-1980s, a state of emergency could be declared so people would willingly trade part of their freedom for the security of being able to walk the streets, to go on trains or enter a bank. This is the political logic behind all the bombings of civilians. The perpetrators remain unpunished because the State cannot condemn itseslf."

"Operation Gladio was a secret NATO strategy implemented after WWII that advocated an alliance between the mafia, CIA, Vatican and Knights of Malta."

Dean Henderson

"Throughout the 1950s, money for the activities of the Catholic Gladio - Catholic Church units of the CIA stay-behind operation in Europe - was provided by the CIA, which annually allocated $30 to $50 million to covert operations in Italy. These funds were not only washed by the Vatican but also funneled by the pope to groups and organizations that met with his approval.
... To protect the clandestine nature of Catholic Gladio and the other stay-behind units, meetings of the anti-Communist forces were conducted in Masonic lodges. Eventually, several "stay-behind" units in Italy evolved into covert Masonic organizations. One such unit became known as Propaganda Due, or P2.
... By 1965, the membership roll of P2 contained the names of many ecclesiastical dignitaries... Scores of Vatican officials, including cardinals, Roman Catholic hierarchs, and prominent bishops and archbishops, would become members of Masonic lodges-many with ties to P2.
... As it transformed into one of the world's richest and most powerful institutions, the Roman Catholic Church shed many of its long-held doctrines for the sake of political expediency and financial gain, including the condemnations of Freemasonry and usury. This transformation crystallized with the pope's embrace of Licio Gelli, who became a Knight of Malta.
... By 1970, Licio Gelli had emerged as P2's new Worshipful Master and became known by the code name Filippo. The lodge now received massive infusions of cash-estimated at $10 million per month-from the CIA's black funds. This money was used to purchase the weaponry and material necessary to mount terrorist attacks throughout Italy, Greece, Turkey, and South America."

Paul L. William in his book "Operation Gladio", 2015

"In July 2014, it was reported that the Islamic State was created by the CIA/MI6/Mossad, likely apart of NATO's Gladio B and that Israel is using it as a front organization to protect its borders from surrounding enemies."

"Most Americans have never heard of Sibel Edmonds, and if the U.S. government has its way, they never will. The former FBI translator turned whistleblower tells a chilling story of corruption at Washington's highest levels - sale of nuclear secrets, shielding of terrorist suspects, illegal arms transfers, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, espionage Edmonds's account is full of dates, places, and names A treasonous plot to embed moles in American military and nuclear installations and pass sensitive intelligence to Israeli, Pakistani, and Turkish sources was facilitated by figures in the upper echelons of the State and Defense Departments. Her charges could be easily confirmed or dismissed if classified government documents were made available to investigators."

ex-CIA agent Phil Giraldi, 2008

"For the past 11 years I have been emphasizing that my State Secrets Privilege & Gag Orders had to do with the FBI files (covering period 1996-2002 February) on covert-terrorist operations in Caucasus and Central Asia [Gladio B] backed, managed and armed by US actors. These US-NATO directed operations in the region involved Osama Bin-Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The FBI documents contained damning evidence collected between 1996-2002 tying these terror operations directly to U.S. persons in the State Department, CIA and Pentagon. Also, the State Department got Congress to grant huge amounts of funds to "front' NGOs and businesses to funnel money to the terrorist cells in this region."

FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds

"After World War II, the US created and maintained special intelligence ties and clandestine ties with individuals all over Europe. These local 'US elites' were more tuned to US interests and were often able to influence local state policies, and even to veto or manipulate policies and individuals in conflict with US interests. Such elites formed part of what we have called the 'security state' - the 'sovereign' - 'the deep state' - which included informal groups and their network of extra-legal executives.
One such 'entirely informal group' was the Cercle Pinay, which brought together Atlanticist ultra-right-wing political leaders, industrialists and intelligence chiefs. Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti named other participants: US State Secretary Henry Kissinger, US Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, David Rockefeller from Chase Manhattan Bank, German CSU leader Franz Josef Strauss, Andreotti himself and Italian industrialist Carlo Pesenti."

Ola Tunander

""Operation Gladio" was a NATO plan to use "stay-behind" paramilitary armies to counter a potential Soviet invasion and occupation of Europe.
"Operation Gladio" was not a name for the overall program, which involved 12 NATO member nations (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Turkey) and four neutral countries (Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland), but specifically its most famous incarnation in Italy.
The operation was not inherently a NATO one. It was first coordinated in 1948 by a trans-Atlantic body based in France known as the "Western Union Clandestine Committee." After the creation of NATO in 1949 the body was folded into the organization's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) under the revised name of the Clandestine Planning Committee.
Although the individual stay-behind programs were organized in Europe, the scope of their operations were not limited to Europe and strayed far from any supposed mandate to prepare for a Soviet invasion. "Gladio" operations included and include everything from drug running and money laundering to terror attacks and political assassinations."

James Corbett

"Daniele Glaser in his book" Nato's Secret Armies" wrote that Giulio Andreotti, the then Italian Prime Minister admitted on August 3, 1990 that a secret army had existed in his country since the end of the Second World War, known as "Gladio;" that it had been created by the CIA and MI6 and that it was coordinated by the unorthodox warfare section of NATO.
Glaser thereby confirmed one of the most long-running rumors in post-war Italy. Many people, including investigating magistrates, had long suspected that Gladio was not only part of a network of secret armies created by the Americans across Western Europe to fight in the resistance to a putative Soviet occupation, but also that these networks had become involved in influencing the outcome of elections, even to the extent of forming sinister alliances with terrorist organizations."

John Coleman

"Similar to the original Operation Gladio in which NATO countries worked with Neo Nazi/Fascist paramilitary organizations in Western Europe and were led by recruited Nazi war criminals, Operation Gladio B has continued into Ukraine. Confirmed by U.S. Intelligence Officials and working with Ukrainian Nationalist and Neo Nazi Far-Right militia including the Ukranian National Assembly, Right Sektor, and the Svoboda party lead by people's deputy of Ukraine Oleh Tyahnybok. The groups are suspected of playing a decisive role in the false flag sniper attacks in which they could be seen shooting both supporting demonstrators and policemen causing destabilization that led to the collapse of elected Ukrainian government."

"After the murder of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978, his wife recounted how a senior US official had threatened to use 'groups on the fringes' of the official services to kill her husband 'if he did not abandon his policy' of a 'historical compromise' with the left. The 'Red Brigade' kidnapping of Moro in March 1978 took place on the very day on which his 'compromise' was to go to the vote in the Italian parliament. Later, it was discovered that an apartment and printing press used by the 'Red Brigades' belonged to Italy's military intelligence."

Ola Tunander

"Under Operation GLADIO, the Pentagon together with the CIA, MI6 and NATO, set up and operated stay-behind armies as an instrument to manipulate and control the democracies of Western Europe - unknown to European populations and parliaments. This strategy lead to terror and fear. The stay-behind network, in the absence of a Soviet invasion, functioned as a straightjacket for the democracies of Western Europe. In some operations, the secret stay-behind soldiers together with the secret military services, monitored left-wing politicians and spread anti-Communist propaganda. In more violent operations the secret war led to bloodshed. Tragically the secret warriors linked up with right-wing terrorists, a combination that led - in some countries including at least Belgium, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Turkey - to massacres, torture, coup d'etats and other violent acts. Most of these state-sponsored terrorist operations enjoyed the encouragement and protection of selected highly placed government and military officials in Europe and in the United States The stay-behind network had served as a tool to spread fear amongst the population in the absence of an invasion. The secret armies in some cases functioned as an almost perfect manipulation system that transported the fears of high-ranking military officers in the Pentagon and NATO to the populations in Western Europe. European citizens, as the strategists in the Pentagon saw it, due to their limited vision were unable to perceive the real and present danger of Communism, and therefore they had to be manipulated. By killing innocent citizens on market squares or in supermarkets and blaming the crime on the Communists the secret armies together with right-wing terrorists effectively translated the fears of Pentagon strategists into very real fears of European citizens."

Swiss historian Daniele Ganser in his 2004 book "NATO's Secret Armies"

"Those massacres those bombs, those military actions [terrorist attacks on Italian civilians after World War II by NATO's stay-behind armies] had been organized or promoted or supported by men inside Italian state institutions and, as had been discovered more recently, by men linked to the structures of United States intelligence [CIA]."

Italian Senate in 2000

"The top echelon of the Red Brigades was run by Western intelligence. Until 1974, the 'sovereign' could rely on the assassination squads of Aginter Press, but when it began using the Red Brigades it needed special forces support. The killing of Aldo Moro was a special forces operation, involving the use of ammunition from special forces supplies."

Ola Tunander

"The strategic doctrine employed by the Gladio operations was known as the "strategy of tension." This doctrine involves the creation, encouragement or exacerbation of political, religious, ethnic or other forms of conflict in order to incite fear in a population and manipulate public opinion."

James Corbett

"The United States, operating partly through NATO, sponsored and funded so-called stay-behind paramilitary groups in Italy and other NATO countries (Operation Gladio)."

Peter Dale Scott

"Terrorist attacks on Italian civilians after World War II by NATO's stay-behind armies were supposed to force the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished.
... You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public to turn to the State to ask for greater security."

right wing terrorist Vincenzo Vinciguerra - about NATO's "Operation Gladio" attacks on Italian civilians after World War II [1984]

"From late 1960s, fascist activists in Italy started to dress as left-wingers. They masqueraded as Maoists and anarchists while conducting 'false flag' terrorist operations, particularly a bombing campaign, in collaboration with US intelligence in order to manipulate public opinion and limit the range of the democratic discourse. In the early and mid-1980s, attacks similar to those that had taken place in Italy were also conducted in Belgium, including the random shooting of 28 people in supermarkets outside Brussels in 1983-85. A 'left-wing' terrorist group known as the Cellules Communistes Combattantes (CCC) was accused of having carried out these operations. Later, however, it transpired that the attacks had been conducted by fascist and Nazi groups, with US support."

GLOBALIZATION

"By early 2000, the process of global financial deregulation was in many regards a fait accompli. Wall Street routinely invaded country after country. The domestic banking system was put on the auction block and reorganized under the surveillance of external creditors. National financial institutions were systematically destabilized and driven out of business; mass unemployment and poverty are the invariable results."

Michel Chossudovsky

"The relationship between globalization and militarism should be seen as two sides of the same coin. On one side, globalization promotes the conditions that lead to unrest, inequality, conflict, and, ultimately, war. On the other side, globalization fuels the means to wage war by protecting and promoting the military industries needed to produce sophisticated weaponry. This weaponry, in turn, is used or is threatened to be used to protect the investments of transnational corporations and their shareholders."

Steven Staples

"Globalization can be seen as the triumph of capitalism: the ascendancy of economics over politics, of corporate demands over public policy, of the private over the public interest, of the transnational corporation and its global framework over the national state."

Gary Teeple in his book "Globalization and the Decline of Social Reform"

"Corporations want to move in and grab hold of everything, be it education, health, medical care, water supplies, electrical utilities, whatever else. Privatize and deregulate. That's their goal, the thirdworldization of America - and everywhere else. They just want to get richer and richer and make us work harder and harder for less and less. That's what globalization and the "free market" are all about."

Michael Parenti, 2002

"If we're going to have globalization, let's have a globalization of human rights."

Howard Zinn, 2002

"Today corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies. It needs a press that pretends to be free. It needs courts that pretend to dispense justice."

Arundhati Roy in her book "War Talk"

"America can't let us stay in power. We are the exception to the new globalization order. If we succeed, we are an example to all the Americas."

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's minister Miguel Bustamante Madriz

"For globalization to work, America can't be afraid to act like the almighty superpower that it is. The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist.
McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell-Douglas, the designer of the F-15, and the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley's technology is called the United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps."

Thomas Friedman, 1999

"Globalization, as it has been advocated, often seems to replace the old dictatorships of national elites with new dictatorships of international finance. Countries are effectively told that if they don't follow certain conditions, the capital markets or the IMF will refuse to lend them money. They are basically forced to give up part of their sovereignty, to let capricious capital markets, including the speculators whose only concerns are short-term rather than the long-term growth of the country and the improvement of living standards, "discipline" them, telling them what they should and should not do."

Joseph Stiglitz in his book "Globalization and Discontents"

"Modern democracies have been around for long enough for neo-liberal capitalists to learn how to subvert them. They have mastered the technique of infiltrating the instruments of democracy - the "independent" judiciary, the "free" press, the parliament - and molding them to their purpose. The project of corporate globalization has cracked the code. Free elections, a free press, and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market has reduced them to commodities on sale to the highest bidder."

Arundhati Roy in her book "An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire"

"There is no known case in which globalization has led to prosperity in any Third World country, and none of the world's twenty-four reasonably developed capitalist nations, regardless of their ideological explanations, got where they are by following any of the prescriptions contained in globalization doctrine."

Chalmers Johnson in his book "Sorrows of Empire"

"Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign "aid" organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization."

John Perkins in his book "Confessions of Economic Hit Man"

"Corporations are like the feudal domains that evolved into nation-states; they are nothing less than the vanguard of a new Darwinian organization of politics ... the forefront of real globalization."

Robert Kaplan, 1997

"The goal [of globalization] was to create an integrated international order that offered no barriers to the flow of goods, capital, and ideas, and that is administered by the United States. The whole world is to become a free-market economy, and the US. military is there to remove any opposition to this process. And since there will be those who will not be happy with this project and will resist it, our foreign policy necessarily has to become, in essence, a military one."

Andrew Bacevich in his book "American Empire"

"Looking at the global picture one gets a striking view of inequality. The fact that the combined wealth of the 225 richest people in the world nearly equals the annual income of the poorer half of the earth's population, that is to say more than 2.5 billion human beings, is more arresting than volumes of social criticism."

social critic Daniel Singer in his 1999 book "Whose Millennium: Theirs or Ours?"

" America is the largest debtor nation, and at the same time it is the world's creditor. "Creating money out of thin air", while at the same time imposing the U.S. dollar as a global currency constitutes the ultimate instrument of conquest and imperial domination.
The U.S. monetary system is supported by the most powerful military power on earth. The dollar is backed by U.S. military might, which constitutes a means for displacing national currencies and imposing the U.S. dollar. In this regard, the Federal Reserve's overwhelming powers of money creation constitute an essential lever of an imperial monetary agenda.
... The Western banking system controls a worldwide electronic banking network. The control of money creation at a world level constitutes the ultimate instrument of economic and social domination. The creation of fiat money provides a command over the real economies of countries worldwide. The ultimate lever of the U.S.-NATO imperial design is to override and destroy national currencies."

"There is a shadowy group of Plutocrats running multinational corporations, controlling the media narrative, manipulating the money supply, influencing governments, generating chaos, and provoking wars in order to further their agendas.
These people are very real and extremely dangerous. They operate in the shadows, safely out of the light of public scrutiny. They manage by proxy, using cut-outs to do their bidding, never allowing themselves to get their hands dirty?
Politicians are used and discarded, giving the illusion that they are the ones in control. The controllers' identities are hidden through a corporate shell game of holding companies and secret banking tax havens, in places like the Cayman Islands and Luxemburg.
A thirst for publicity and a lust for the spotlight are liabilities if you want to excel in this endeavor. Better to rule from the shadows where your identity and intentions are unknown.
... The people running the show are mostly driven, professional, sociopaths with no discernible traces of compassion.
... Some of our best-known leaders and public figures are actually psychopaths, and what makes a psychopath most effective is their overall lack of empathy. They simply do not have the ability to imagine or feel someone else's pain, and this frees them up to cross boundaries that the rest of us would never dream of crossing. They can operate without limits, giving them an advantage over everyone else. They are professional liars and damn proud of it.
... You do not make it to the top of the food chain by being nice, honest and fair; you get there by force, deception, and influence. You get there through violence, if necessary. You get there through blackmail and extortion. It takes planning and funding, patience and practice, and a mastery of how to use fear to control other people. Those running the world are playing a much different game than the rest of us, and the way they see it, there are no rules. Or at least the rules do not apply to them.
... Their plan is to change society in every country in a way that provides them a reason to impose a world government. The creation of a world central bank and an electronic world currency, in conjunction with the elimination of cash, would allow them complete control to dictate financial policy around the globe. Their policies would be enforced by their world army, and a micro-chipped population would live in fear of having their electronic currency deleted if they ever crossed the world government."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"During the past two centuries when the peoples of the world were gradually winning their political freedom from the dynastic monarchies, the major banking families of Europe and America were actually reversing the trend by setting up new dynasties of political control through the formation of international financial combines. These banking dynasties had learned that all governments must have sources of revenue from which to borrow in times of emergency. They had also learned that by providing such funds from their own private resources, they could make both kings and democratic leaders tremendously subservient to their will."

"We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence - on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, 1961

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business. These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."

John Francis Hylan, Mayor of New York City, 1922

"By the end of the 1890's [J.P.] Morgan and [John D.] Rockefeller had become the giants of an increasingly powerful Money Trust controlling American industry and government policy... Some 60 families - names like Rockefeller, Morgan, Dodge, Mellon, Pratt, Harkness, Whitney, Duke, Harriman, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, DuPont, Guggenheim, Astor, Lehman, Warburg, Taft, Huntington, Baruch and Rosenwald formed a close network of plutocratic wealth that manipulated, bribed, and bullied its way to control the destiny of the United States. At the dawn of the 20th Century, some sixty ultra-rich families, through dynastic intermarriage and corporate, interconnected shareholdings, had gained control of American industry and banking institutions."

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."

Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, An Autobiography , 1913

"If you want to know who rules the world, just think of two words: "Oil Bankers." The western financial institutions that dominate the world economy can all be traced back to fossil fuels. The House of Rockefeller, tied in with Exxon-Mobil, sucessor of Standard Oil, along with the House of Morgan now exercise their titanic power via an entity called Chase Bank. HSBC Bank is closely tied to British Petroleum. The British banking dynasty known as the Rothschilds is closely tied in with Royal Dutch Shell."

Caleb Maupin, 2018

"The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of investment bankers (also called "international" or "merchant" bankers) who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks. This dominance of investment bankers was based on their control over the flows of credit and investment funds in their own countries and throughout the world. They could dominate the financial and industrial systems of their own countries by their influence over the flow of current funds through bank loans, the discount rate, and the re-discounting of commercial debts; they could dominate governments by their control over current government loans and the play of the international exchanges. Almost all of this power was exercised by the personal influence and prestige of men who had demonstrated their ability in the past to bring off successful financial coups to keep their word, to remain cool in a crisis, and to share their winning opportunities with their associates. In this system the Rothschilds had been preeminent during much of the nineteenth century, but, at the end of that century, they were being replaced by J. P. Morgan whose central office was in New York, although it was always operated as if it were in London."

"The reason why the British abolished the right of the American Colonies to create and issue their own money is simple: the bankers did not want the Colonists to be able to trade among themselves without paying tribute to them... The objective was clear: by forcing Americans to pay interest, the European money changers wanted to enslave the Colonies in a mountain of debt.
... We are paying the International Bankers hundreds of millions of dollars each year in interest on our National Debt. This money (or credit) was created by the bankers out of nothing - and loaned to us at a high rate of interest."

Des Griffin in his book "Fourth Reich of the Rich

"Hundreds of years ago, bankers began to specialize, with the richer and more influential ones associated increasingly with foreign trade and foreign-exchange transactions. Since these were richer and more cosmopolitan and increasingly concerned with questions of political significance, such as stability and debasement of currencies, war and peace, dynastic marriages, and worldwide trading monopolies, they became the financiers and financial advisers of governments.
Moreover, since their relationships with governments were always in monetary terms and not real terms, and since they were always obsessed with the stability of monetary exchanges between one country's money and another, they used their power and influence to do two things: (1) to get all money and debts expressed in terms of a strictly limited commodity-ultimately gold; and (2) to get all monetary matters out of the control of governments and political authority, on the ground that they would be handled better by private banking interests."

Carroll Quigley, in his book "Tragedy and Hope"

"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent."

international banker James Warburg testifying before the United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1950

"A small group of dominant men (a global network of Anglophile financial elites) have been able to secure control of local, national, continental, and even global policy. Though the power of this network is not complete, they are moving inexorably in that direction. Without increased awareness (and resistance), their unelected and unaccountable global state will become a reality. And though the illusion of national sovereignty might be maintained, the freedom of the world's citizens will be controlled within very narrow alternatives."

Joseph Plummer in his book Tragedy and Hope 101

"The society of experts will control propaganda and education. It will teach loyalty to the world government, and make nationalism high treason. The government, being an oligarchy, will instill submissiveness into the great bulk of the population It is possible that it may invent ingenious ways of concealing its own power, leaving the forms of democracy intact, and allowing the plutocrats or politicians to imagine that they are cleverly controlling these forms whatever the outward forms may be, all real power will come to be concentrated in the hands of those who understand the art of scientific manipulation."

Bertrand Russell

"Real power is unelected. Politicians change, but the power structure does not. The Network (a global Anglophile financial elite power structure) operates behind the scenes, for its own benefit, without ever consulting those who are affected by its decisions.
The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. They are "satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power." This approach of secretly exercising power is common throughout history because it protects the conspirators from the consequences of their actions.
A primary tactic for directing public opinion and "government" policy is to place willing servants in leadership positions of trusted institutions (media, universities, government, foundations, etc.). If there is ever a major backlash against a given policy, the servant can be replaced. This leaves both the institution and the individuals who actually direct its power unharmed.
Historically, those who establish sophisticated systems of domination are not only highly intelligent; they are supremely deceptive and ruthless. They completely ignore the ethical barriers that govern a normal human being's behavior. They do not believe that the moral and legislative laws, which others are expected to abide by, apply to them. This gives them an enormous advantage over the masses that cannot easily imagine their mind-set. Advances in technology have enabled modern rulers to dominate larger and larger areas of the globe.
As a result, the substance of national sovereignty has already been destroyed, and whatever remains of its shell is being dismantled as quickly as possible. The new system they're building (which they themselves refer to as a New World Order), will trade the existing illusion of democratically directed government for their long-sought, "expert-directed," authoritarian technocracy.

Joseph Plummer in his book Tragedy and Hope 101

GLOBAL WARMING
(man-made climate change)

"If the greenhouse effect didn't exist, life on this planet would be frozen?... Carbon dioxide is vital for life. Plants need it, and, in turn, give us oxygen. No CO2 means no plants, which means little oxygen for us. Certainly not enough to live on. Why, then, is CO2 called "pollution"?"

Kevin Lemanowicz, meteorologist

"There is no evidence that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is driving surface temperature, and there is plenty of evidence to show that current levels of temperature and carbon dioxide are neither extreme nor of concern... It is unbelievable that many in politics and the media are whipping up public hysteria about 'global warming' when the best evidence suggests that for the 100 years ending in the year 2000, the century of coal, steel, electricity, the internal combustion engine, jet planes, two world wars and a population explosion, the average surface temperature rose by only 0.6 degrees, and there has been no increase in temperature since 1998."

Viv Forbes, geologist

"The sun is the primary source of energy impacting the earth's surface. That energy heats the land and the seas, which then warm the air above them. Water vapor and other gases in the atmosphere also affect temperature... Oceans are the main repository for CO2. They release CO2 as their temperature rises. This strongly suggests that warming oceans - heated by the sun - are a major contributor to CO2 in the atmosphere."

John Takeuchi, meteorologist

"There was a global warming in medieval times, during the years between 800 and 1300. And that made Greenland, - now covered with ice - green, christened by the Vikings with the name - 'Greenland.'"

Rosa Compagnucci, researcher with the National Science and Technology Commission, Argentina

"If this were a human caused global warming, it should have started about 1940 and trended strongly upward as global industrialization followed World War II. That isn't what happened. The warming started about 1850. We had a surge of warming from about 1850 to 1870. We had another surge from 1916 to 1940 and then, when the greenhouse gasses began to spew from the factories, the temperatures went down for 35 years. 1976 to 1998, we had another surge of warming, but we've had no warming in the last 8 years. So, what we have is an erratic warming that started too soon to be blamed on humans."

Dennis Avery

"There are 31,000 scientists that have signed a petition that says man-made global warming is not valid".

Weather Channel founder John Coleman, 2017

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself . We believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is a real one or one invented for the purpose."

"For most of Earth's history, the globe has been warmer than it has been for the last 200 years. It has rarely been cooler... The present climate, from the perspective of a geologist, is very close to the coldest it's ever been... The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere today is the close to the lowest it has ever been."

geologist Robert Giegengack, former chair of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania

"The theory of 'man-made climate change' is an unsubstantiated hypothesis. Carbon dioxide has been made out to be some kind of toxic gas but the truth is it's the gas of life. We breath it out, plants breath it in. The green lobby has created a do-good industry and it becomes a way of life, like a religion. The temperature of the earth has been going up and down for millions of years, if there are extremes, it's nothing to do with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it's not permanent and it's not caused by us. Global warming is nonsense. If you talk to real scientists who have no political interest, they will tell you there is nothing in global warming. It's an industry which creates vast amounts of money for some people."

former NASA Scientist Les Woodcock professor emeritus of Chemical Thermodynamics at the University of Manchester

"If you actually listen to the words of the people pushing the concept of anthropogenic climate change, meaning climate change caused by human activities, many will admit that it is a scam designed to justify their proposed "carbon tax" concept so they can skim massive amounts of money off the top to put in their pockets under the guise of fixing the planet.
... Carbon taxes are meant to shut down all major economies not controlled by the IMF and World Bank. It has two purposes; neither of them has been made public. The first part of the carbon tax scam is that the IMF and the World Bank will collect taxes from companies that create too much carbon waste. They will set an allowable limit and tax everything over the limit amount. Unless you get an exemption like all of the oil companies will have.
... The second part of the scam is that the companies that are not onboard with the IMF and World Bank will be taxed out of existence. After the crippling sanctions demolish the company, it will either be bought for pennies on the dollar by one of its competitors that are aligned with the IMF or World Bank or just put out of business.
... Climate change is purely a wealth confiscation scheme disguised as a mission to save the planet. The United Nations, through their banking entities, the IMF and World Bank, is using the manufactured fear of "climate change" to collect trillions of dollars in future taxes that will be used to lay the foundation for an unelected global government."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"We (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [UN IPCC]) are an intergovernmental body and we do what the governments of the world want us to do. If the governments decide we should do things differently and come up with a vastly different set of products we would be at their beck and call."

Rajendra Pachauri, former head of the UN IPCC climate panel

"The climate change panic is all about central planning, global governance, planned recessions, and redistributing wealth. It's just the most recent in a long chain of eco-scares -- overpopulation, deforestation, the ozone hole, resource scarcity, and so forth-for which the solution is always the same: global regulation by central planners. At the moment, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) is the leader of this agenda.
The UN "experts" openly say they want to redistribute wealth by climate policy. They are using the science as tool in a partisan political campaign effort for centralized government planning through the United Nations and the European Union."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"When it comes to future climate, no one knows what they're talking about. No one. Not the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) nor its scientists, not the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, not the NRDC or National Geographic, not the U.S. congressional House leadership, not me, not you, and certainly not Mr. Albert Gore."

Patrick Frank, chemist

"Governmental officials are currently casting trillions of dollars down huge rat hole to solve a problem which doesn't exist... Packs of rats wait in that hole to reap trillions coming down it to fill advocates' pockets... The money we are about to spend on drastically reducing carbon dioxide will line the pockets of the environmentalists... Some politicians are standing in line to fill their pockets with kickback money for large grants to the environmental experts... In case you haven't noticed, it is an expanding profit-making industry, growing in proportion to the horror warnings by government officials and former vice-presidents."

Tom McElmurry, meteorologist, former tornado forecaster in Severe Weather Service

"Politicians have come to see global warming as a way to raise revenue by rationing CO2 production with schemes such as the 'cap and trade' legislation now in Congress. The taxes assessed for producing CO2 could be huge. But global warming as proclaimed by Al Gore and Co., is a hoax."

John Takeuchi, meteorologist

"The climate changes all the time, but human contribution to the change is negligible. Russian scientists had made a working model of climate, and they concluded that the main factor of change is solar activity. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is rather a by-product of warming than the cause, and anyway it is beneficial for vegetation.
According to the Russian climate model, we are in the beginning of a minor Ice Age. Observations of the Antarctic ice fields confirm that ice is building, not receding. It will not become warmer, as official scientists claimed; it will be much, much colder, at least for the next thirty years."

Israel Shamir, 2017

"Most meteorological research is funded by the federal government. And boy, if you want to get federal funding, you better not come out and say human-induced global warming is a hoax because you stand the chance of not getting funded."

Willaim Gray

"Billions of dollars of grant money [over $50 billion] are flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story."

James Spann, American Meteorological Society-certified meteorologist

"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy."

Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation

"They've been changing the cry from 'global warming' to 'climate change' because there's so little evidence there's actually any warming going on. I believe that as little as a decade from now, global warming will be recognized as one of the greatest swindles in world history. It has so little scientific basis, it can only rationally be considered a political scam."

Doug Casey

"The only people who would be hurt by abandoning the Kyoto Protocol [on Climate Change] would be several thousand people who make a living attending conferences on global warming."

Kirill Kondratyev, scientist, Russian Academy of Sciences

"The climate change establishment that dominates the United Nations' bureaucracy and our own government science establishment claim that they can predict the temperature of the Earth decades into the future. Their global warming scare is not driven by science; it is now being driven by politics. So today anybody who defies the prevailing "climate change" scare puts his career and his reputation into extreme danger.
... American school children are being constantly bombarded with climate change propaganda. This is science gone bad. It has become political. Climate science has been hijacked by the extreme fringe of the environmental movement. The truth is that while climate is naturally changing - as it always has - no crisis is occurring and there is no reason to fear any in the future."

John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel, 2017

"The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is pre-programmed to produce reports to support the hypotheses of anthropogenic warming and the control of greenhouse gases, as envisioned in the Global Climate Treaty... The 1990 IPCC Summary completely ignored satellite data, since they showed no warming. The 1995 IPCC report was notorious for the significant alterations made to the text after it was approved by the scientists - in order to convey the impression of a human influence. The 2001 IPCC report claimed the twentieth century showed 'unusual warming' based on the now-discredited hockey stick graph. The latest IPCC report, published in 2007, completely devaluates the climate contributions from changes in solar activities, which are likely to dominate any human influence."

Frederick Seitz, Past President, U.S. National Academy of Sciences

"The climate agenda by which the UN aims to meet its arbitrary target will cripple the economies of the industrialized nations. It will stop desperately needed economic growth in the developing world, where over a billion people still lack lifesaving access to electricity.
The UN agenda seeks to replace the proven success of coal, oil, and gas with "green" energy. Wind and solar are simply not capable of powering the world economy at this time. And, the world's poor are not oblivious to the irony of the prosperous nations' plans to keep them from leveraging their way out of poverty with the fossil fuels that made us rich."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"The longer trends tell us that by 2020, we will be experiencing an unusually low-energy sun. Apparently, these are exactly the conditions that ... ushered in the Little Ice Age. The science goes on. There is an increasing body of science that says that the sun may have a greater role. If it does have, then global warming is likely to stop, as it appears to have done since 1998, and if the current sunspot cycle fails to ignite, then cooling, possibly rapid and severe cooling, may eventuate."

Geoffrey Kearsley, geographer, director of Wilderness Research Foundation

"The Club of Rome - founded in 1968 as an informal association of independent leading personalities from politics, business, and science - started the climate change hysteria.
... There is no global warming. It is a total hoax. A made up theory that worked to scare the hell out of the general public, so long as their scientists could generate fake statistics and studies showing a rise in temperatures. And with that, the concept of "global warming" was born.
... They created the concept of climate change as a way to introduce a carbon tax on the rest of the world under the guise of punishing humans for harming the environment."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"We routinely wrote scare stories. Our press reports were more or less true. We were out to whip the public into a frenzy about the environment."

Jim Sibbison, former public relations official, Environmental Protection Agency

"All temperature and weather observations indicate that the earth isn't like a greenhouse and that there is in reality no 'natural greenhouse effect' which could warm up the earth by its own emitted energy - a 'global warming effect'. With or without atmosphere every body looses heat, gets inevitably colder... The hypothesis of a natural and a man-made 'greenhouse effect', like eugenics, belongs to the category 'scientific errors."

Wolfgang P. Thuene, former analyst and forecaster for the German Weather Service

"The global warming agenda is really about money, trading carbon credits and imposing carbon taxes."

Eric Roston

"Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact on global temperature as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will."

Geoffrey G. Duffy, Scientist, Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, New Zealand

"Because CO2 is slightly soluble in water and will come back to the Earth with precipitation, nature corrects for any excess, just as it does with other excess materials from volcanoes and forest fires. Nature recycles all of what it considers excess very efficiently."

Sherwood Thoele, analytical chemist and mathematician

"The hypothesis that the global warming of the past decades is man-made is based on the results of calculations with climate models in which the main influence on climate is not included. The most important climate driver comes from the interplay of solar activity, interplanetary magnetic field strength, cosmic radiation intensity, and cloud cover of the Earth atmosphere."

Gerhard Lobert, physicist, Recipient of The Needle of Honor of German Aeronautics

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

Jon Hartzler, retired science professor from St. Cloud State University

"Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful... The Kyoto Treaty on Climate Change would have very negative effects upon the technology of nations throughout the world, especially those that are currently attempting to lift from poverty and provide opportunities to the over 4 billion people in technologically underdeveloped countries."

Frederick Seitz, Past President, U.S. National Academy of Sciences

"CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference [in global temperature] one way or another. Every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so. Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver's seat and developing nations walking barefoot."

Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University, Japan

"The reality is that the UN IPCC is in effect little more than a UN-sponsored lobby group, created specifically to investigate and push the 'man-made warming' line."

UN IPCC expert reviewer John McLean

"Global warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in history. When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists."

Kiminori Itoh, member of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), award-winning environmental physical chemist

"More important than CO2 is the interaction of solar activity (solar winds) with penetrating cosmic rays into the earth's atmosphere. When cosmic ray activity is great, a large volume of rays penetrate the earth's lower atmosphere and contribute to cloud formation and cool the earth. However, when there is a lot of solar activity, solar winds tend to blow away just enough of the cosmic rays to thwart cloud formation at the lower levels resulting in fewer clouds and global warming. This phenomenon can be documented over hundreds if not thousands of years - well before humans were able to affect atmosphere."

Terry Wimberley, professor of Ecological Studies

"Human CO2 emissions are insignificant compared to total natural greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, lowering human CO2 emissions will have no measurable effect on climate, and continued CO2 emissions will have little or no effect on future temperature... While controlling CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels may have some beneficial effects on air quality, it will have no measurable effect on climate, but great detrimental effects on the economy and our standard of living."

Jonathan DuHamel, geologist

"Fossils from the Holocene Era reveal a northern tree line approaching the Arctic Ocean. Surely it was warm enough then to preclude pack ice, and perhaps summer ice, from natural causes, and at only three-quarters of today's carbon-dioxide level... Climate that seems unusual, but falls within the natural envelope of past climate, is no proof of man-made global warming."

Claude Culross, organic chemistry

"Geologists and paleo-climatologists know that in the past the Earth's temperature has been substantially warmer than it is today, and that this warming has occurred under purely natural circumstances."

Greg Benson, earth scientist, geologic study/geologic modeling

"The press promotes the global warming alarmists and ignores or minimizes those who are skeptical. To many of us, there is no convincing evidence that carbon dioxide produced by humans has any influence on the Earth's climate."

Mark L. Campbell, professor of chemistry at the U.S. Naval Academy

"The new green left environmentalist propaganda reminds me of the old red left communist propaganda. The dirty word is now carbon rather than capitalism. The game is simply to intrude and control everything."

Vincent U. Muirhead, professor emeritus of aerospace engineering, University of Kansas

"There would be more vocal skeptics of global warming if they were not afraid of losing funding, much of which is controlled by politically correct organizations."

Peter Friedman, mechanical engineer

"Scientists and activists alike have jumped on the global warming bandwagon. It's become a fad, a trend, a wave of enthusiasm, and the scientists are going along with the fad to get research grants and the media limelight... The facts, such as we can observe and calculate them, do not support the idea of man-made global warming."

William Hunt, research scientist National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

"The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Cllimate Change) climate change documents do not provide an objective assessment of the earth's temperature trends and associated climate change.
... An increasing number of scientists are now questioning the hypothesis of Greenhouse gas induced warming of the earth's surface."

Madhav L. Khandekar, UN scientist and retired Environment Canada scientist

"There is an irrational basis regarding the current scare over global warming... Compared to solar magnetic fields, carbon dioxide production has as much influence on climate as a flea has on the weight of an elephant."

Oliver K. Manuel, professor of nuclear chemistry

"Attempts to control weather and climate will have no measurable impact on climate, but a huge impact on energy prices and the economy. The so-called solutions to the supposed threat of man-made climate change would limit economic development and ban many forms of life-saving carbon-based energy. These restrictions and other policies inspired by the global warming panic function as a form of modern day colonialism."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"Dire predictions of catastrophe from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, are based solely on computer models that amount to poorly crafted mathematical opinions, not experimental proof... There is no proof that man-made carbon dioxide causes additional warming, or that carbon-dioxide reduction would reduce warming."

Claude Culross, organic chemist

"NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused or Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science."

Walter Cunningham, NASA astronaut/physicist

"At a time when advocates of man-made global warming continue to push government policies to restrict energy use and the burning of fossil fuels in order to prevent 'catastrophic' warming, the world continues to cool....That is leading to increasing scepticism that the call to sacrifice living standards in order to "save the planet" is just political spin designed to persuade the public to accept green taxes."

Muriel Newman, mathematician and member of the Northland Conservation Board

"In Europe, where climate change absolutism is at its strongest, the quasi-religion of greenery in general and the climate change issue in particular have filled the vacuum of organised religion, with reasoned questioning of its mantras regarded as a form of blasphemy."

Nigel Lawson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer of UK

"Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense. The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology."

Delgado Domingos, environmental scientist

"Global warming is indeed a scam, perpetrated by scientists with vested interests."

Martin Keeley, geology scientist

"What I'd do with the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report is to put it in the trash can because that's all it's worth.... Carbon dioxide is an insignificant component of the earth's atmosphere and rather than being the purveyor of doom it is currently viewed as today, it is needed in order for plants to grow."

Dennis Hollars, astrophysicist

"I was appalled at the behavior of many of those who helped produce the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports and by many of those who promote it. In particular I am referring to the arrogance; the activities aimed at shutting down debate; the outright fabrications; the mindless defense of bogus science, and the politicization of the IPCC process and the science process itself."

Roger W. Cohen, physicist

"I submit that there is no man-made global cooling/warming, that there is no study or research data that makes a good argument to that effect when carefully examined objectively, and that the Earth has many different and wide ranging cycles that man cannot control, no matter how much he would like to."

Sherwood Thoele, analytical chemist and mathematician

"As the glaciological and tree ring evidence shows, climate change is a natural phenomenon that has occurred many times in the past, both with the magnitude as well as with the time rate of the temperature change that have occurred in the recent decades."

Gerhard Lobert, physicist

"The "carbon tax" is a step toward both wealth distribution and a central global governance structure dictating every aspect of our lives from our light bulbs to transportation to home energy to our diets."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"When it comes to science, never blindly accept an explanation from a politician or scientists who have turned political for their own private gain. Taxing carbon will have absolutely no beneficial effect on our climate, will hurt the economies of the world, and will be harmful to the production of food because less carbon dioxide means reduced plant growth."

Bob Ashworth, chemical engineer, authored a 2008 technical analysis of global warming

"For most of earth's history carbon dioxide level has been several times higher than the present....The conclusion from all this is that carbon dioxide change does not cause significant climate change. Actions to control the amount of non-condensing greenhouse gases that are added to the atmosphere are based on the mistaken assumption that global warming was caused by human activity."

Dan Pangburn, mechanical engineer, author of a climate research paper

"Atmospheric CO2 is absorbed by the oceans. Fires, volcanoes, and now man deposit CO2 into the atmosphere, but those effects are transient. What exists in steady state is CO2 perpetually pumped into the atmosphere by the oceans....Atmospheric CO2 is a dynamic stream, from the warm ocean and back into the cool ocean. Public policy represented by the Kyoto Accords and the efforts to reduce CO2 emissions should be scrapped as wasteful, unjustified, and futile."

Jeffrey A. Glassman, physicist and engineer

"Carbon dioxide is not responsible for the warming of the global climate over the last 150 years... More than 90 percent of climate fluctuations are due to the sun's activities, such as 22-year cycles and sunspots."

Klaus P. Heiss, space engineer, NASA

"Are global temperatures rising? Surely, they were rising from the late 1970s to 1998, but there has been no net global warming since 1998. Indeed, the more recent numbers show that there is now evidence of significant cooling... Mankind is responsible for just a fraction of one percent of the effect from greenhouse gases, and greenhouse gases are not responsible for most of what causes warming (e.g., the Sun)."

John Lott, Jr., research scientist

"As the climate change debate moves from the scientific to the political, it is important to stay with the facts. The bottom line is that humans cannot prevent global warming... We should not be carried away by misconceptions about what is driving climate change. It's with the Earth itself."

W.J. "Bill" Collins, professor, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences-James Cook University, Australia

"There is no proof that carbon dioxide is causing or precedes global warming... All indications are that the minor warming cycle finished in 2001 and that Arctic ice melting is related to cyclical orbit-tilt-axis changes in earth's angle to the sun."

John Williams, agricultural scientist, University of Melbourne, Australia

"Water vapor accounts for about 95 percent of earth's natural 'greenhouse' effect. Carbon dioxide gets all the attention because that is what is released in the burning of fossil fuels. Yet it accounts for less than 4 percent of the total greenhouse effect."

Karl Bohnak, meteorologist

"A consistent and significant correlation exists between the planet's temperature and the output of energy from the sun."

Leighton Steward, geologist

"Earth has cooled since 1998 in defiance of the predictions by the UN-IPCC.The global temperature for 2007 was the coldest in a decade and the coldest of the millennium, which is why 'global warming' is now called 'climate change.'"

Richard Keen, climatologist, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences University of Colorado

"Non-believers in the greenhouse scenario are in the position of those long ago who doubted the existence of God. Fortunately for them, the Inquisition is no longer with us!"

Marcel Leroux, climatologist, director of the Laboratory of Climatology, Risks, and Environment in Lyon, France

"There was a concerted effort on the part of a small clique of elite scientists at the UN and in supporting institutions, governments and universities to concoct the climate change "consensus" to pressure governments and public opinion into supporting the political, economic and social agenda of elites.
This small group of scientists have for years been influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming ... not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN's Intergovernmental 'Panel on Climate Change'."

R. Warren Anderson and Dan Gainor

"The Rockefeller faction in the Anglo-American world began to prepare the Global Warming fraud - a fairy tale that oil from transportation vehicles or from coal fired plant emissions of CO2 are the cause of the gradual warming of the earth. However, no climate model takes into account the major influence on world climate: our Sun.

F. William Engdahl

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

"CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or the other every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so."

Dr. Kunihiko, Chancellor of Japan's Institute of Science and Technology

"Scientists who dissent from the global warming alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis."

MIT meteorologist Richard S. Lindzen

"Print news media have warned of four separate climate changes in slightly more than 100 years ­ global cooling, warming, cooling again, and, perhaps not so finally, warming. Some current warming stories combine the concepts and claim the next ice age will be triggered by rising temperatures .
Recent global warming reports have continued that trend, morphing into a hybrid of both theories. News media that once touted the threat of "global warming" have moved on to the more flexible term "climate change."
The effect of the idea of "climate change" means that any major climate event can be blamed on global warming, supposedly driven by mankind."

R. Warren Anderson and Dan Gainor

"The suggestion that future hazardous climate events could in any way be mitigated by the control of carbon dioxide emissions is absurdity in the extreme."

William Kivninmonth, Emeritus head of Australia's National Climate Centre

"Compared to solar magnetic fields, the carbon dioxide production has as much influence on climate as a flea has on the weight of an elephant."

Dr. Oliver K Manuel, University of Missouri

"The hypothesis of current global warming resulting from the increased emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is a myth. Humans are not responsible for the increase in the global surface temperature of 1 degree F (O.56 degree centigrade) during the last century and one should explain this increase by the natural forces heating the atmosphere. The anthropogenic impact on the global temperature is negligible."

O.G.Sorokhtin, G.V. Chilinger and L.F. Khilyuk ­ all PhD's and published authors in Earth Sciences

"Increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is not the cause of global warming which has a solar origin. There exists no reliable scientific evidence that anthropogenic increase of the carbon dioxide concentration has caused current global warming or can lead to catastrophic changes of the Earth climate in the visible future. Anthropogenic global warming is a Great Myth."

Habibullo I. Abdussamatov , Head of the Space Research Laboratory of the Russian Academies of Sciences' Pulkovo Observatory

"I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken. Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science... I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism."

Dr. William Happer, former director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy under the first President Bush in July of 1991

"Accurate temperature records have been kept only since the end of the 19th Century, shortly after the world left the Little Ice Age. So while recorded temperatures are increasing, they are not the warmest ever. A 2003 study by Harvard and the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics determined that the 20th century is neither the warmest century nor the century with the most extreme weather of the past 1,000 years.
... America and Europe escaped a 500-year period of cooling, called the Little Ice Age, around 1850."

R. Warren Anderson and Dan Gainor

"Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense. The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle."

Delgado Domingo, Environmental Scientist, Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group

"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group's conclusion is "no." The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about? This group of world leaders forms a secret society to bring about an economic collapse."

Maurice Strong - Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, 1972, which launched the world environment movement, and he has played a critical role in its globalization

"The Report from Iron Mountain, was advertised as the result of a four-year study by a group of 15 American intellectuals, including the future editors of The Nation Victor Navasky and Richard Lingeman, novelist E.L Doctorov, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
... This 152-page report, reedited in 2002 by DIANE Publishing Company, discussed the long-term perspectives of the end of the epoch of wars, and the need for introducing substitutes to counter the risks caused by standing peace.
... At first the Report from Iron Mountain was supposedly classified by President Lyndon Johnson, but after a few years it was published in book form as a leak, and immediately became a bestseller.
... The Report from Iron Mountain proposed the creation of global police forces, the introduction of a modern form of slavery, eugenics, mass euthanasia, mass welfare, the invention of a new quasi-religious myth on planetary risks, and exaggerated environmental protection, including widespread government spending and controls.
... What followed were a string of events that led to an explosion of ecological movements including the current climatic hysteria.
... Soon after the report's publication in 1967, the U.S. Congress passed the National Environmental Protection Act (1969), and on Dec. 2, 1970, President Richard Nixon established the giant U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (by 2003 the EPA had 17,648 employees), the first environment ministry in the world.
... One of the most important recommendations of the "Report from Iron Mountain" was a need to concentrate public opinion on the contamination of the planetary environment, and on fictitious global enemies."

Zbigniew Jaworowski, 2009

"On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. We need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."

Stephen Schneider, a top global warming guru, in an interview with Discover magazine, 1989

"During the 1960s and 1970s, there was an 86 percent scientific consensus that the planet was on a cooling path. But this was airbrushed out of history so successfully that even now if you do a Google search on '70s global cooling scare' the top results claim it never really happened."

journalist James Delingpole, 2008

"Climate experts believe the next ice age is on its way. If we are unprepared for the next advance [in ice] it could mean hunger and death on a scale unprecedented in all of history. What scientists are telling us now is that the threat of an ice age is not as remote as once thought, and it could turn most habitable portions of planet into frozen desert."

Leonard Nimoy - on the TV show "In Search Of ..." in 1978

"Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas (CO2) by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That's simply not the case."

Princeton professor William Happer and NASA geologist Harrison H. Schmitt, May 8, 2013, Wall Street Journal

"CO2 is hardly poisonous. On the contrary, it is essential for life on our planet and levels as high as 5000 ppm are considered safe on our submarines and on the space station." (Current atmospheric levels are around 400 ppm.)"

MIT climate scientist Richard Lindzen, 2017

"Based on the laws of physics, the effect on temperature of man's contribution to atmospheric CO2 levels is minuscule and indiscernible from the natural variability caused in large part by changes in solar energy output."

Atmospheric scientist Robert L. Scotto, past member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS)

"The IPCC is still doing its best to avoid the evidence that the sun has a large effect on climate. They of course will never admit this quantifiable effect because it would completely tear down the line of argumentation for man-made global warming."

Israeli Astrophysicist Dr. Nir Shaviv critiqued the UN IPCC report in 2013

"CO2 makes up 0.04 percent of the atmosphere. Water vapor makes up 95 percent of all greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases make up only 2 percent of the total atmosphere. Does this small human contribution to the small amount of CO2 in the atmosphere really drive the climate?"

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"The energy mankind generates is so small compared to [the] overall energy budget that it simply cannot affect the climate. The planet's climate is doing its own thing, but we cannot pinpoint significant trends in changes to it because it dates back millions of years while the study of it began only recently. We are children of the Sun; we simply lack data to draw the proper conclusions."

Anatoly Levitin, the head of geomagnetic variations laboratory at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radiowave Propagation of the Russian Academy of Sciences

"CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference on the climate one way or another. Every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so."

Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan

"CO2 is primarily plant food while its other implications for Nature are negligible in comparison. Humanitarian organizations should work hard to help mankind to increase the CO2 concentration. CO2 is the key compound that plants need to grow-and, indirectly, that every organism needs to get the food at the end."

physicist Lubos Motl, formerly of Harvard University in a May 12, 2013, essay titled "Why We Should Work Hard to Raise the CO2 Concentration."

"We are currently living on a carbon dioxide starved planet. And were we to double carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is the figure everybody fears, that would be a small step back towards restoring the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere... The idea that doubling carbon dioxide is going to be environmentally catastrophic is just a silly idea".. We're not dealing with a scientific issue, we haven't been dealing with a scientific issue now for 15 years. We're dealing with the determined political issue."

geologist Bob Carter, a professor emeritus at James Cook University in Australia' in 2015

"We live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial for humans and the majority of other species... It is extremely likely that a warmer temperature than today's would be far better than a cooler one."

Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore testified in the U.S. Senate

"At present, the Earth's atmosphere is starved of CO2. On all time scales, there is no correlation between temps and CO2."

Australian Geologist Ian Plimer, 2009

"Al Gore claims that temperature increases solely because more CO2 in the atmosphere traps the sun's heat. That's just wrong... When gravitation from other planets' orbits causes the Earth to move closer to or further from the sun, temperatures increase or decrease.
The driving mechanism is exactly the opposite of what Al Gore claims... It's the temperature that, through 650,000 years, controlled the CO2; not the CO2 that controlled the temperature."

geologist Robert Giegengack, June 2007

"There isn't the slightest evidence that more carbon dioxide has caused more extreme weather,"

Happer and Schmitt - "In Defense of Carbon Dioxide"

"The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed in 1988 to examine how CO2 and other greenhouse gases impact the climate. It had every incentive to declare a "crisis" because the UN was also going to be in charge of coming up with a "solution." If the UN failed to find CO2 was a problem, it would also deny itself the opportunity to be in charge of regulating the world's economies and planning the energy mixes for the next hundred years and beyond. This conflict of interest has been inherent in every action the UN climate panel has taken.
... The UN's involvement in climate change ensured that there would be only one acceptable view on the subject-that a man-made climate crisis was at hand."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"It is global warming that triggers higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, not the other way round."

Andrei Kapitsa, a Russian geographer and Antarctic ice core researcher

"If you look at the total global sea level from about 1850 until the present time it's been rising at a fairly constant rate, rather slow-about 7 inches a century. It's about 1 to 2 mm a year so if you're 50 years old you experienced a sea level rise about 3 inches and you probably didn't even notice it."

geologist Don Esterbrook

"Why scare the families of the world with tales that polar bears are heading for extinction when there is good evidence that there are now twice as many of these iconic animals, most doing well in the Arctic, than there were 20 years ago?"

David Bellamy-botanist, former lecturer at Durham University, and host of a popular UK TV series on wildlife

"On December 1, 1992, the New York Times reported that both the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age were "global climate phenomena, not regional temperature variations." The paper quoted researchers who had compiled "a detailed record of the year-to-year variation in temperature and precipitation over the last thousand years" and found the "unmistakable signatures of the Medieval Warm Period, an era from 1100 to 1375 A.D. when, according to European writers of the time and other sources, the climate was so balmy that wine grapes flourished in Britain and the Vikings farmed the now-frozen expanse of Greenland; and that the Little Ice Age, was a stretch of abnormally frigid weather lasting roughly from 1450 to 1850".

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"To imply that a rise of temperature of a tenth of a degree is proof that the world is coming to an endhas to take one back to the dark ages... As long as you can get people excited as to whether it's a tenth of a degree warmer or cooler, then you don't have to think, you can assume everyone who is listening to you is an idiot. The whole point is so crazy because the temperature is always going up or down a little. What is astonishing is that in the last 20 years it hasn't done much of anything."

retired MIT climate scientist Richard Lindzen, 2017

"The climate has become a new religion, and people who disagree are treated as heretics."

former UN IPCC lead author Richard Tol, professor at the Vrije University in Amsterdam, 2014

"Carbon dioxide is good for vegetation. It is vital for food production, vital for wildlife. It would be crazy to try to reduce CO2. Earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide."

Princeton University physicist Freeman Dyson

"People need to study the long history of the Earth. The true believers in climate change are only looking at the last 100 years. That is a blink in nature's eye. We've had billions of years of climate history in this world, and if you look at just the half billion of them, the most recent half billion, you will see that CO2 is lower now than it has been through most of the history of life on Earth, and so is the temperature."

Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore. Moore, an ecologist

"Climate change 'science' is part of just another screw-the-brown-people scam. The whole climate change scam is now driven by the top-level financiers eyeing a multi-trillion-dollar paper economy of carbon trading. This is the reason it's now a dominant mainstream media and corporate messaging presence."

physicist Denis Rancourt, a former professor and environmental science researcher at the University of Ottawa

"I simply parroted what the IPCC told us. One day I started checking the facts and data. I became outraged when I discovered that much of what the IPCC and the media were telling us was sheer nonsense and was not even supported by any scientific facts and measurements."

German meteorologist and physicist Klaus-Eckart Puls

"Hundreds of billion dollars have been wasted with the attempt of imposing a Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory that is not supported by physical world evidence AGW has been forcefully imposed by means of a barrage of scare stories and indoctrination that begins in the elementary school textbooks."

Brazilian geologist Geraldo Luís Lino, who authored the 2009 book The Global Warming Fraud: How a Natural Phenomenon Was Converted into a False World Emergency

"The dysfunctional nature of the climate sciences is nothing short of a scandal. Science is too important for our society to be misused in the way it has been done within the Climate Science Community. The global warming establishment has actively suppressed research results presented by researchers that do not comply with the dogma of the IPCC."

Swedish climatologist Dr. Hans Jelbring of the Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics Unit at Stockholm University

"The corruption within the IPCC revealed by the Climategate scandal, the doctoring of data and the refusal to admit mistakes have so severely tainted the IPCC that it is no longer a credible agency."

geologist Don Easterbrook, a professor at Western Washington University

"The creation of the UN IPCC was a cataclysmic event in the history of science. Here was a purely political body posing as a scientific institution. Through the power of patronage it rapidly attracted acolytes. 'Peer review' soon rapidly evolved from the old style refereeing to a much more sinister imposition of The Censorship". New circles of like-minded propagandists formed, acting as judge and jury for each other. Above all, they acted in concert to keep out alien and hostile opinion. 'Peer review' developed into a mantra that was picked up by political activists who clearly had no idea of the procedures of science or its learned societies. It became an imprimatur of political acceptability, whose absence was equivalent to placement on the proscribed list."

John Brignell, an engineering professor emeritus at the University of Southampton

"Developing nations need cheap and affordable energy so their people can escape a nasty, brutish, and short life locked in dire poverty. Not having access to reliable cheap electricity means no modern necessities like refrigerators to keep food safe, no modern dentistry, no sewage treatment to keep waste from polluting rivers and streams with deadly bacteria. Limiting development means a continuing higher infant mortality rates, shorter life expectancy, and less life-saving medical care.
No number of solar panels on top of huts made of animal dung is a long-term solution for grinding poverty. A simple fact needs to be recognized: carbon-based energy has been one of the greatest liberators of mankind. Any so-called climate change "solutions" that attempt curtail the use of carbon-based fuels are not based on reality."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

"The claims of the IPCC are dangerous unscientific nonsense."

climate researcher Vincent Gray of New Zealand

"Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life."

MIT climate scientist Richard Lindzen, 2007

"One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole."

Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of the IPCC's Working Group III and a lead author of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, released in 2007, said in November 2010

"A climate deal must include an equitable global governance structure."

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in a 2009, New York Times op-ed

"The UN's Kyoto Protocol on global warming represented the first component of an authentic global governance."

French President Jacques Chirac in 2000

"Global warming, climate change, all these things are just a dream come true for politicians. The opportunities for taxation, for policies, for control, for crony capitalism are just immense."

MIT professor emeritus Richard Lindzen

"At the present rate of sea-level rise it's going to take 3,500 years to get up to Al Gore's predicted rise of 20 feet. So if for some reason this warming process that melts ice is accelerating, sea level doesn't know it. And sea level, we think, is the best indicator of global warming."

geologist Robert Giegengack

" An internationally monitored carbon budget would apply to every person on the planet, regardless whether they live in Berlin or Beijing... The industrialized nations have already exceeded their carbon quotas if you take into account past emissions... The West would give back part of the wealth it has taken from the South in the past centuries and be indebted to countries that are now amongst the poorest in the world."

German climate advisor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber told Der Spiegel in 2009

"Everyone in the UK would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights-anyone who exceeds their entitlement would have to buy top-up credits from individuals who haven't used up their allowance... The government would have the authority to impose fines, monitor employees emissions, home energy bills, petrol purchases and holiday flights."

Daily Mail article, 2008

"Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory in order to combat global warming."

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told audiences in China in 2007

"The only way to stop runaway climate change is to terminate industrial civilization."

Professor Emeritus Guy McPherson of the University of Arizona

"Carbon trading, with its huge government subsidies, is just what finance and industry wanted. It's not going to do a damn thing about climate change, but it'll make a lot of money for a lot of people."

environmentalist James Lovelock

"I know without a doubt that there is no significant threat to the future climate of Earth from the industrialized civilization we have created and the drastic climate changes predicted by the Al Gore clan and the UN's IPCC are not occurring and are based on an invalid theory."

Weather Channel founder and meteorologist John Coleman

"The average African life span is lower than it was in U.S. and Europe 100 years ago. But Africans are being told we shouldn't develop, or have electricity or cars because, now that those countries are rich beyond anything Africans can imagine, they're worried about global warming."

Ugandan activist Fiona Kobusingye

"Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver's seat and developing nations walking barefoot."

Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan

"The man-made global warming hysteria is essentially a political campaign to put the world's economy under the management of "experts" at the United Nations. Along the way, every argument advanced to support the claim of catastrophic man-made global warming has proven to be severely lacking.
The repeated claim of a 97 percent "consensus" in support of catastrophic man-made climate change is nothing more than a talking point designed to silence anyone who dares to question the very dubious "science" on global warming."

Marc Morano - in his 2018 book 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change'

GOVERNMENTS LIE

"We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth."

Sydney Schanberg

"Every government is run by liars, and nothing they say should be believed."

journalist Izzy Stone

"Never believe governments, not any of them, not a word they say; keep an untrusting eye on all they do."

Martha Gelhorn, American journalist

"The Patriot's [missle] success, of course, is known to everyone. It's 100 percent-so far, of 33 [Scuds] engaged, there have been 33 destroyed."

General Norman Schwarzkopf, Commander of Allied Forces in the Gulf War, Pentagon briefing, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, January 31, 1991

"To the best of my recollection, only one Scud missile exploded in the air as a consequence of a Patriot explosion."

General Dan Shomron, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Force at the time of the Gulf War, The Christian Science Monitor, September 8, 1997

"If there is somebody captured, I expect those people to be treated humanely. If not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals."

President George W. Bush, March 23, 2003

"It is a blatant violation of the Geneva Convention to humiliate and abuse prisoners of war or to harm them in any way."

Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke, March 24, 2003

"The Geneva Convention is very clear on the rules for treating prisoners. They're not supposed to be tortured or abused; they're not supposed to be intimidated; they're not supposed to be made public displays of humiliation or insult."

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz to the BBC, March 24, 2003

"Defense Department officials don't lie to the public. The Defense Department doesn't do covert action, period."

Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, 2002

"No country in the world upholds the Geneva Conventions on the laws of armed conflict more steadfastly than does the United States."

Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, 2002, 2004

"The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, insofar as possible, the killing of civilians. [The bomb killed more than 150,000 civilians in this Japanese city with a population of 400,000.]"

President Harry Truman, August 9, 1945

HABEAS CORPUS

"The establishment of the writ of habeas corpus... are perhaps greater securities to liberty and republicanism than any it [the Constitution] contains .... The practice of arbitrary imprisonments have been, in all ages, the favorite and most formidable instruments of tyranny."

Alexander Hamilton in The Federalist #84 in August of 1788

"Even in 1215, the King of England was held to the standard of habeas corpus. I guess we want to turn the clock back to before the Magna Carta."

Senator Tom Harkin, 2007

"The 2006 Military Commissions Act authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights.
Anyone designated an "enemy combatant" can be denied the right to habeas corpus. Habeas corpus petitions allow defendants to challenge their unlawful imprisonment and to seek their release if their cases were tried unfairly. By suspending habeas corpus, the new law takes human rights back to the thirteenth century."

Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman

"The American government could already be described as authoritarian... Due process of law and the right of habeas corpus, which for centuries have characterized the rule of law in democratic states, have been eliminated. At the discretion of the president, non-citizens and citizens alike may be classified as enemy combatants, picked up and held for an indeterminate period of time without access to counsel. A network of secret prisons and camps is being established both inside and outside of the United States. Paramilitary forces or private mercenary armies are being developed to make up for the inadequate numbers of the existing volunteer army. This is effectively resulting in the privatization of the US military."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"September 29, 2006, the US Senate agreed to the Military Commissions Act of 2006 ... The new Act does 3 things:
1) Strips the right of detainees to habeas corpus (the traditional right of detainees to challenge their detention);
2) Gives the US President the power to detain indefinitely anyone-US or foreign nationals, from within the US, and from abroad-it deems to have provided material support to anti-US hostilities, and even use secret and coerced evidence (i.e. through use of torture) to try detainees who will be held in secret US military prisons;
3) Gives US officials immunity from prosecution for torturing detainees that were captured before the end of 2005 by US military and CIA."

Anup Shah, 2006

"The Military Commissions Act of 2006 effectively suspended habeas corpus and freed up the executive branch to designate any American citizen an "enemy combatant" forfeiting all privileges accorded under the Bill of Rights."

Christopher Ketcham, 2008

"The corporate media has ignored the fact that habeas corpus can now be suspended for anyone by order of the President. With the approval of Congress, the Military Commissions Act (MCA) of 2006, signed by Bush on October 17, 2006, allows for the suspension of habeas corpus for US citizens and non-citizens alike."

Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff, Project Censored, December 21, 2009

"Ever since Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now Barack Obama, what we've learned is law means nothing to the executive branch in the US. They don't obey our own laws; they don't obey international law; they violate all the civil liberties and buried the principal of habeas corpus and the ability for a defendant to be legally represented."

Paul Craig Roberts, 2011
