All the science belongs to us.
If you “own” the science, it’s not science.
Science is a process for developing and testing hypotheses and then turning them into workable theories. But the Left and its authoritarian institutions use “science” as just another cult object to uphold their illegitimate authority and bully the people under its control.
Sometimes they’ll even say it out loud.
Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary for Global Communications at the United Nations at WEF ‘Disinformation’ event: “We partnered with Google,” said Fleming, adding, “for example, if you Google ‘climate change,’ you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources. We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled ‘climate change,’ we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top. So we’re becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do.”
Melissa Fleming’s scientific background? She has a MA and MS in Broadcast Journalism and a BS in German Studies from Oberlin. The latter at least should come in handy.
I’ve written about the UN’s involvement with Big Tech censorship before.
For example, Facebook is using UN rules to censor conservatives, including Trump.
When Facebook’s Oversight Board issued its verdict on Trump, it did not cite a single item of United States law, including the First Amendment, but cited the Rabat Plan of Action, and articles of the UN’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), OHCHR, a UN Special Rapporteur to the Human Rights Council, and the UN’s International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).
American law does not apply on Facebook. UN law does.
The Rabat Plan of Action, which Facebook’s Oversight Board used to justify the censorship of President Trump, declares that states are obliged to restrict speech that “amounts to incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence” citing ICCPR articles 19 and 20. The UN’s ICCPR Article 19 allows restricting expression for “the reputations of others” and “public order”. Article 20 orders a ban on “propaganda for war” and the “advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.”
These are a few of the various UN regulations, treaties, and conventions cited by Facebook’s Oversight Board. And while all this may sound like meaningless UN gibberish to most Americans, these UN rules define what you can and can’t say on the internet.
The UN doesn’t own science, but its tyrannical bureaucracy does own speech. Our speech.

The ghouls are out to eliminate everything good as they have turned to the “good is bad and bad is good.”
Isaiah wrote and Jesus quoted: “Woe to those putting light for dark, bitter for sweet, and bad for good.”
They have the idea that they *own* humankind and we are just here for their use and convenience. They will kill those they wish, and silence everyone who complains or makes an attempt to alert the uninformed.
They will “reap what they have sown.”

Good point.
She’s partially correct, they, the “global elites” do own the science, that is… their version of it. The “global elites” have many “useful idiots” on the payroll that will do or say whatever they are told to do or say. The “global elites” can produce “scientists” that will confirm for example, that black is white, and the next time around that white is black. Anyone who dares to question their “science” is, is, well…a flat earther!

milo,
I noticed on that interview about the ‘return of the gods,” that the author said that all of the trans stuff, the opposite of what is true, is from the ashtoroth “goddess’ and that *she* …all demons are of the *male* vairity….makes males turn to females, dress as women, etc.
The real meaning of “science” is truth. when they twist things to make them look different, it is no longer science, but a part of satan’s lies. The greater part of mankind….according to Jesus Christ…are all walking the road to destruction. some actually seem to be running as fast as they can down that road.

Correction: “We Own the Pseudo-Science and We Think That the World Should Know It.”
There is no hard science for man-made climate change. None. All the climate rubes have are correlation studies and computer model projections, neither of which constitutes scientific evidence and each of which has a simply notorious track record for accuracy. Computer model projections are so awful they can’t even backcast temperatures correctly let along forecast them. And Winston Churchill, among so many others, realized how bogus correlation studies can be. The way he expressed it was that when he drank rum and soda, or gin and soda, or whiskey and soda, he got tipsy. Ah, Churchill in full sarcastic mode opined, it must be the soda.
Richard Lindzen, the foremost atmospheric physicist in the world has called the bulk of man-made climate change contentions “absurd.” For this he has been demonized as any scientist will be who dares question the received wisdom on climate. As Roy Spencer, who received his PhD in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin, has said, if you are a scientist and doubt man-made climate change you can forget about getting any funding. Yep, the Left first politicized the liberal arts and now it is in the process of politicizing both science and medicine. On the Leftist agenda: mathematics and engineering. Count on it.
The Left destroys everything it touches, including entire societies. Happening now in one Western nation after another. To be aligned with the truth you must despise the Left. A given.

Wellington, thank you for the soda quote. And didn’t weathermen have, at one time, a bad rep for being wrong so very many times?
Just recently, Gov. DeSantis was answering a reporter who was criticizing him and Lee County authorities for not creating an evacuation order before they did. He told her that the weathermen had said the storm was going to hit Tampa, and it was only later that they said it would hit south of there in Lee County. Hillsborough County issued the order on Monday. Lee issued their order on Tuesday.
Besides, he said, it wouldn’t be right to go into people’s houses and drag them out.
How much flak have the *scientists* taken for not knowing exactly where and when it would hit? And when it was coming off of Africa, they didn’t say how big or strong it would be….why not if they are so all-knowing?
the media is saying the storm’s fury was due to climate change. but the refusal of people to leave their homes is the fault of Gov. De Santis. the flooding is his fault too.
Wellington says
Yeah, just more nonsense, somehistory, courtesy of the Leftist MSM which plays one game of gotcha’ after another. No wonder their integrity has been shredded (and just imagine if Trump were still President and manifested just one quarter of the senile moments Biden has—the MSM would be all over him 24/7 and calling for the 25th Amendment to be implemented).
And here is something the deficient and biased MSM is also not saying, to wit, that this past August was only the third August in the last 60 years in which no hurricane occurred. This also does not fit in with the man-made climate change garbage put forward nauseatingly by Leftists aplenty. Moreover, between July 3rd of this year and the end of August not only did no hurricane occur in the Atlantic but neither did a tropical storm. You have to go back to 1941, 81 years ago, to find when this happened. But now with Ian, fools aplenty like those on CNN, are asserting that Ian is just more evidence of man-made climate change.
Ah yeah, time for a beer. Idiots abound in politics, the MSM, academia and big business—and elsewhere of course. Best to you and yours in an era that is far less than best.

lee mon is an idiot. “I grew up there and these storms are intensifying.”
I grew up in Florida. Hurricanes have always been destructive…that’s what they do with their wind and rain and the tornadoes they spawn.
there are millions more people living in Florida and the more people, the more people in the way and have to try to leave their homes on crowded highways. Many people who live in Florida are without cars….many of the counties have great bus systems…and many work for minimum wage in service jobs; also many older people on fixed, low. incomes. They can’t evacuate, have no place to go, except the shelters which fill up quick.
Even if a cat 1 hits those people, they can lose their homes, or their lives. The wind …or *front*…that was coming down to the Gulf at the time Ian arrived, helped to make that storm worse.
Climate fluctuates. It’s what climate does. These people who make broad statements about Florida and the hurricanes while they don’t know beans, make me nauseous. and that includes the idiot…who vacationed maskless in Florida…lee mon.

People like Don Le’mon are simply, “useful idiots.” For them, the issue is never the issue, it’s the narrative that matter.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Thanks for the link, James. If we lived in a sane and sensible world (we don’t of course), the vapid and monumentally ignorant Don Lemon would have been laughed off the stage long ago. The fact that this nothing is still around spewing his nonsense says a lot about the times we live in.
A new Dark Ages, I fear, is descending upon mankind. This didn’t have to happen but it is presently in the process of occurring. And it if occurs, it will be the darkest of dark ages. EVER. Courtesy of Leftism, aided by Islam, your standard authoritarianism and people with the correct ideas but too timid to promote them.

Thanks, James and Somethistory.
The 1940s and ’50s were the worst decades for hurricanes in (somewhat) recent memory, much worse in both number and intensity than anything since 2000.

g, I have lived through many. All of them cause damage and when people can’t get out of the way, or they want to show how foolish they can be, there are deaths.
the “never let a crises go to waste” is being used against Gov. De Santis even by charlie crist…who once didn’t seem as bad as he has become. btw, crist meets with mozlums and attends their “dinners” and has photos taken…even selfies…with a creep who says he hates the U.S. and Americans. the mozlum even has said that Americans are the least educated people on earth. Some, like ex-gov crist, want to prove him right.
thankfully, the Gov seems to be ahead in the polls. I know he is the better one as crist has proven he’s no good.

Well said, Wellington. I had forgotten Richard Lindzen’s name. In Australia, Alan Jones, who was a very popular radio presenter, used to quote Lindzen as a sceptic on all this climate change crap, and as a top notch physicist, but it was a few years ago and I had forgotten his name. I didn’t know that, predictably, he has now been demonised by the left wing fascist crowd. I’ll write his name down. I hadn’t heard of Roy Spencer either. I’m pretty sure that a large number of reputable scientists fairly recently put their names to a statement saying that there wasn’t much evidence for man made climate change.
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, tg. Here are a few other names to add to your list if you are not already familiar with them—Judith Curry, Bjorn Lomborg, John Christy and the recently departed Fred Singer.
Of course, when you go to a regular search engine, it is ordinarily biased highly in the direction of man-made climate change being a total reality. Expect this.
On Lindzen specifically, he is Professor Emeritus at MIT and was on the UNIPCC because of his eminence, but when he disagreed with this panel’s conclusions he was thereafter demonized ad nauseam—a case study in how science has become horribly politicized, one of many terrible errors in our era.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for that, Wellington. I do see Bjorn Lomborg quite often talking to the presenters of the “Outsiders” program on Sky News here in Australia. He always seems to be like an old friend of the presenters on that show. He impresses me. The others I haven’t heard of. Well, the name Fred Singer, for some reason, does ring a bell for some reason though I’m not sure why..

Then there’s the whole question of the definition of life and when it begins. Some may say the science isn’t even part of the equation.

Meteorology is an exact science, but Biology ain’t! That’s what it is if one begins to believe the Leftards. Saying that ‘Men and women are different’ or that ‘Men can’t get pregnant’ is not science, but whether 43 different parameters affecting the weather will change and in what way depending on what we do day to day is

Glenn Beck reported on a *missing* sub from russia…it has “disappeared” with the weapons known as “Armageddon”. The story was told after one he related on the secretary of something asking the dod for military to protect ships carrying gas supplies to Europe.
The sub can launch their weapons which then lie on the bottom of the ocean…just offshore…and wait to explode, which would bring a wave over a thousand feet…I forget if he said 1200 or 1500 feet. ..high.raising the water temp thousands of degrees in seconds.
Beck suggested the “waiting” would be for the merchant ships carrying the gas.
CogitoErgoSum says
There is a theory that a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia would throw so much debris into the atmosphere that it would decrease sunlight so much that the world would be plunged into a “nuclear winter.” I think Biden and Putin have come to the conclusion that if global warming is to be stopped we will need to have just a small nuclear war which will cool the planet down a few degrees. Exploding a few nukes would also lower the world’s population. So maybe thermonuclear war isn’t so bad after all. It’s their science and it’s the way they think – and we should know it.
