Friday Funny: Apparently, I've irritated the fruit fly

Comment:
“To fully appreciate Suzuki, one needs only look at his childhood – in a World War II internment camp for Japanese people. That left a massive angry chip on his shoulder which is most evident when you meet him in person and discover he swears like a drunken sailor (when not describing people as maggots etc.). He’s a sociopath, and a dangerous one, who just happened to have found the means to his ends in the ‘environmental’ movement.”
Sorry, but I recently saw a “year book” (one of several) owned by the husband of a NATURAL BORN American Japanese lady…she was born and raised in Hawaii. (NO ONE INTERNED THERE!) It was OBVIOUS from the pictures, that aside from being “uprooted” from their homes and businesses on the West Coast, the Japanese AMERICANS made Lemonade out of Lemons!
They were given materials, and built SCHOOLS, INFIRMERIES, COMISSARIES, ICE RINKS, soccer fields. Put up basketball courts, tennis courts, went off (in buses) to work at local places (usually an hour or two away, alas..rural Washington State). Came back to the “very bored”, but congenial “guards”…who closed the gates on the compounds TO KEEP OUT THE WOLVES AND THE CYOTETES!
This lady explained (on behalf of her late husband) that aside from a “minor irritation factor”, NO ONE FELT as though they were treated poorly, that they were “deprived” (They were allowed to make their living quarters their HOMES and they did so very well, I saw pictures of the interiors…very nicely put together and decorated!!!!) They had phone and mail service to people on the outside. Frankly, having lived in a SMALL TOWN (800 people) in MN for 8 years of my young life…looking at the GREAT COMMUNITY the Japanese made in the camps, I can see they were better off socially THAN I WAS FOR 8 YEARS!
SO, sorry…NO, can’t excuse D.S. for being a psycopath. That’s his own CHOICE.

May I suggest to Canadians that you do as I have just done. Email your MP, and request that she/he contact Mr. Suzuki, and point out to him that our rights to free speech are guaranteed under the Canadian Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. MP’s email addresses are public information. surname dot initial at parl dot gc dot ca.

Tides Canada is worried. There are calls to review their charity status in Canada. Tides is involved in politics through astroturfed sites such as OpenMedia or LeadNow that are openly campaigning against Canada’s government.

The entire PURPOSE of Tides (they used to say this on their website, not sure if they do anymore) is to act as a donation laundry. They support “progressive” causes. If you want to donate to a “progressive” cause but do not want your name or your foundation associated directly with an organization, what you do is donate to Tides and “earmark” your donation to the causes you wish to receive your money. At various intervals, Tides bundles your donations along with those of others who have also earmarked donations to those organizations and gives a lump sum donation. The “cause” sees a single donation from Tides. Tides shows your donation but is not required to show who you “earmarked” it for. So there is no way someone can trace a donation to a specific organization to a specific individual. It is designed for “donation laundering”. It is how Soros and Heinz (John Kerry’s wife) keep at arms length from many of the causes they directly finance without being linked to them directly.

anthony –
re scarface post & your reply re IE browser etc:
yesterday, every time i opened WUWT i got strange, faint, capitalised text throughout the comments. could barely read anything. also tried to post something and got told i needed verifiable email or something. tried again later and did manage to post a comment.
i didn’t upgrade IE or do anything else, but today WUWT is completely back to normal.

It is always salutary to remember that David Suzuki is not a scientist, but a *documentary film narrator* as well as a profiteer on environmental fear-mongering. That is what he has done for a living his entire adult life. Moreover, the films he narrates are created entirely by a state broadcasting institution – one that has always been in the pocket of the socialist Liberal Party of Canada, which until recently clutched the reigns power in a way that would have impressed Enver Hoxha. Canadians, however, are clearly waking up from a four-decade-long daymare and starting to see through the illusions woven by these socialists – which of course inevitably includes fake science in the service of powerful, elitist self-appointed social engineers.

Suzuki is gradually realizing that the CAGW fight is lost as he is now moving on to advocating more control over energy for reasons other than AGW.
“Energy is at the heart of modern society’s needs, but when the source is finite, it seems foolish to be hell-bent on using it up in a few generations, leaving the problems of depletion and pollution to our children and grandchildren. The longer we delay implementing solutions to our energy challenges the more costly and difficult it will be when we have to face the inevitable.”
His view of “energy solutions” is of course more government planning, control and taxation.

David Suzuki should be crying himself to sleep within the hour.

Anthony-
Have you changed the format of the comment section? Comments now are in all-caps and in a very faint typeface on my monitor. Is it WUWT or a trick of my confuser?

There would have been much more substance to the message had Suzuki said something like “Forgive Forgivers their right to Forgive”.
That would have made a whole lot more sense, especially coming from a guy that (as far as I can tell) hasn’t added one iota to the science of climate.
