1:20 am Eastern© 2010 WorldNetDailyIf your faith in today’s scientific establishment was shaken recently by successive waves of fraud on the part of climate scientists – from systematically suppressing evidence of global cooling, to attempting to erase the Middle Ages, to falsely claiming the Himalayan glaciers were rapidly melting – get ready for more scientific corruption, a lot more.
As Whistleblower reveals in its groundbreaking February issue – titled “HIJACKING SCIENCE” – global warming is just the tip of the science-fraud iceberg.
Politically and financially motivated pseudo-science is widespread and utterly out of control, extending far beyond climate research and into virtually every major scientific field. Indeed, this Whistleblower issue is subtitled, “From global warming to evolution, from psychology to sociology, blatant corruption of science is running rampant.”
NASHVILLE, TN – Fox News has learned Tea Party convention organizers plan a big news conference here Friday to propose the closest thing yet to a national organizing strategy for the upcoming 2010 midterm elections.
The first ever Tea Party Convention has attracted a sellout crowd of a thousand activists from as far away as Hawaii (and media from as far away as Japan) to the
GaylordOprylandConvention Center.Volunteers here intend to propose a series of broad “First Principles” which have already been generally embraced by most Tea Party chapters around the country. They include: fiscal responsibility, upholding the constitution, and national security.Prospective political candidates will be expected to support the Republican National Committee platform, though without any specific litmus or purity test.
Alaska Dispatch Nearly 3,000 pages show heavy involvement in matters of state. MSNBC reports in a very long story this morning about the contents of nearly 3,000 pages of Todd Palin-related emails released by the State of Alaskaunder a Freedom of Information Act request filed by MSNBC and NBC News. The report says that the emails contain evidence of all sorts of stunning behavior that many Alaskans have suspected for quite some time. About 1,200 separate emails were released this week in the request, but 243 of them were withheld on the grounds of executive privilege, and many were heavily redacted. The un-redacted emails show, among other things, that Todd Palin was involved in judicial and state board appointments, contract negotiations with public employee unions, also that he received background checks on a corporate CEO, and passed information marked “confidential” (about what appears to be an awarded employee bonus) from his employer (BP) to a state attorney. The still-secret emails, MSNBC judges from the subject lines, show that the First Dude was involved in a laundry list of additional state issues.

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)–A top House Republican has warned Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that unless the administration consults with Republicans on the make-up and mandate of a fiscal commission, the party won’t cooperate, an aide said Friday. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) spoke to Geithner by telephone Friday about the commission, details of which are expected to be finalized next week, an aide to Boehner said. According to the aide, Boehner told Geithner that President Barack Obama needs to consult Republicans on who will sit on the panel. He also said that everything needs to be up for discussion, including spending cuts, and that the panel should deliver its report to Congress before the November mid-term elections. Despite attempts by Obama to restart relations with the Republican minority, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that the party will cooperate. Obama announced in his State of the Union address last week the creation of a fiscal commission tasked with examining the federal government’s long-term budget and making recommendations on savings. Both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) have agreed to hold a vote on the commission,s findings. Cuts to large federal government entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, as well as tax increases, could be among its recommendations. But Republicans feel the commission will be used by the Democratic majority to push through tax increases without cutting spending.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Stocks sank Friday afternoon as worries about a growing debt crisis in Europe exacerbated uncertainty about the
U.S. economic outlook, sending the dollar higher, oil and gold prices lower and pushing investors toward the comparative safety of government debt.

LANHAM, Md. — Seeking to create more jobs, President Barack Obama on Friday asked Congress to temporarily expand two lending programs for the owners of small businesses.
Obama said he wants to bolster the impact of the businesses that are the chief creators of new jobs in a struggling economy. Just hours before he spoke, the nation’s jobless rate finally dipped below 10 percent – to a still-stubbornly high 9.7 percent – in the latest government figures.
With the president’s poll numbers falling and punishing levels of unemployment lingering, Obama has stepped up his focus on the economy and job creation
If a particular candidate meets the proposed Tea Party criteria he or she would be eligible for fundraising and grassroots Tea Party support.Once elected to office, members would be required to join a Congressional Tea Party Caucus, attend regular meetings and be held accountable for the votes they cast. Those who stray from the Tea Party path would risk losing it’s support and a likely re-election challenge.These are simply proposals from activists in
Tennessee who put this convention together and who say they recognize that disparate Tea Party groups nationwide have varied interests and ideas of their own.Organizers suggest creating political action committees, a large scale fundraising apparatus, and starting the development of a national network of pro bono attorneys to deal with the myriad legal-political riddles that such undertakings face in campaigns and elections.
