This blog has often been called anti - science (and much less polite things,) because of our habit of questioning the latest scientific research, particularly the kind of research that relies on output from mathematical models rather than observation, experiment, empirical data and double blind testing. In reality we, and though none of us would claim to be scientists we are familiar with the method, are behaving as a true scientist should, by questioning everything, rather that simply accepting the established truths of the academic community.
Recently it has become increasingly clear that we are right to question, not only has the world or scientific research been corrupted by corporate money, it has been politicised too.
The latest evidence in the growing mountain of revelations that show we Boggart Bloggers and thousands more sceptics in the alt_journalism community have been right all along comes from Australian molecular biologists Jo Nova who has published a report on the meaninglessness of the peer review process, once the bechmark validation for any research, now a fraudulent and discredited 'old pals' network.
Ms. Nova writes:
So much for “peer review” — Wiley shuts down 19 science journals and retracts 11,000 gobbledygook papers
Proving that unpaid anonymous review is worth every cent, the 217 year old Wiley science publisher “peer reviewed” 11,300 papers that were fake, and didn’t even notice. It’s not just a scam, it’s an industry. Naked “gobbledygook sandwiches” got past peer review, and the expert reviewers didn’t so much as blink.
Big Government and Big Money has captured science and strangled it. The more money they pour in, the worse it gets. John Wiley and Sons is a US $2 billion dollar machine, but they got used by criminal gangs to launder fake “science” as something real.
Things are so bad, fake scientists pay professional cheating services who use AI to create papers and torture the words so they look “original”. Thus a paper on ‘breast cancer’ becomes a discovery about “bosom peril” and a ‘naïve Bayes’ classifier became a ‘gullible Bayes’. An ant colony was labeled an ‘underground creepy crawly state’.
And what do we make of the flag to clamor ratio? Well, old fashioned scientists might call it ‘signal to noise’. The nonsense never ends.
A ‘random forest’ is not always the same thing as an ‘irregular backwoods’ or an ‘arbitrary timberland’ — especially if you’re writing a paper on machine learning and decision trees.
The most shocking thing is that no human brain even ran a late-night Friday-eye over the words before they passed the hallowed peer review and entered the sacred halls of scientific literature. Even a wine-soaked third year undergrad on work experience would surely have raised an eyebrow when local average energy became “territorial normal vitality”. And when a random value became an ‘irregular esteem’. Let me just generate some irregular esteem for you in Python?
If there was such a thing as scientific stand-up comedy, we could get plenty of material, not by asking ChatGPT to be funny, but by asking it to cheat. Where else could you talk about a mean square mistake?

Greenpeace stunt backfires. Exposes Green Energy Scam!It's always great to mock the Watermelon when they shoot themselves in the foot but this exapmple of the self interest that underpins their climate science and green energy scams is classic.
Shock for The Green Blob - Rewilding is to blame for Mediterranean forest fires
Or at least, to be acccurate, rewilding is partially to blame for Mediterranean forest fires. Which is darkly amusing as that man most insistent upon rewilding, George Monbiot, is trying to tell us that it’s all about climate change.
The news that Spain has dumped it's loonytoons green energy policy will surprise few people who have followed the wind turbine scam. Wind power as a source of energy is unreliable and inefficient and it was only in a fit of green socialist insanity Spain's previous government committed that beleagured nation to meeting the bulk of its energy needs from wind and sun powreed generators. The scientists who advised them forgot it oes dark for approximately half the time and the wind blows when it fels like blowing.
High Court Says Government's Green Energy OCD Does Not Override Natural Beauty
he Government feels compelled to boost the amount of energy from renewables as part of climate change targets imposed by Europe because of pledges that have no basis in law that were given by a previous government to the smooth faced unelected bureaucrats, the internationalist Nazis whose agenda aims to create a single European superstate as a stepping stone towards the establishment of ...
Fracking And Shale Gas Extraction Blamed For Lancashire Earth TremorsShale gas in the bedrock under Lancashire could probably meet Britain's gas needs for 250 years. The process for extracting it, fracking, is controversial however and has been linked with minor earth tremors and seismic events. Xavier Connelly puts the risks and benefits in perspective.BR>
Standing Up To The Climate Science BulliesThe climate science scammers, the pusillanimous poltroons who tried to help their political and corporate pymasters steal £$trillions from the taxpayers of the world with a campaign to spread fear and panic about carbon dioxide have lost the fight with sceptics so comprehensively in the end they resorted to bullying. Now one of the most prominent physicists in the world, Prof. Freeman Dyson has denouched them as fools and frauds.
We Just Got Fooled AgainClimate Change and causes relating to saving the planet are becoming an industry, a gravy train. International bureaucrats fly around the world from meeeting to meeting (and they're all in exotic location) to take party in another feat of windbaggery that will solvle neith global warming, food or water shortage, wildlife species extinction or the growing population.
Will Warmageddonists Tell Us Where The Missing Heat Is Or Shut The Fuck UpAfter recent revelations from NASA and NOAA that the earth is not warming as quickly as climate scientists mathematical models predict, the Warmageddonist loobby came up with a ridiculous (even by their standards) respose that some of the heat has gone missing. Respected global warming sceptic ...
The Persecution Of Johnny Ball and The Intolerance Of WarmageddonistsVeteran TV presenter Johnny Ball, whose programmes on science and mathematics enthused many young viewers in a way formal education never can, probably did not realise he was stepping into a lion's den when he voiced his opinion that the mathematics on which the carbon driven global warming case rests are very dodgy. The Climate Science Warmageddonists turned their fury on him as they have on all who challenge the teachings of their doomday cult.
Climate Change Act: An Inspired Way To Waste £400 BillionAs the attempts of the science lobby and government (whose strings are pulled by the New World Order) to force us to believe the hopelessly flawed and totally discredited case for carbon driven global warming here is some clear thinking on the question of climate change..
Birds Fall From SkyIt reads like something from The Book Of Revelations. After cavalcades of dead birds and fish from Arkansas and Texas to Sweden and New Zealand, tests are being carried out on the bodies of turtle doves in Italy after hundreds rained down near Ravenna. The turtle dove case is the largest incident to have hit Europe so far – in Sweden 50 jackdaws were found dead. Italian officials said ...
Boggart Blog predictions for 2011.
New Year is traditionally the time for predictions. So as 2010 fades into memory we give our Boggart Blog predictions for what will happen in 2011. How confident are we? Let's put it this way, we would rather bet one a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.
How To Criticise ScienceThe Daily Stirrer is no fan of scientists. Science we are OK with, it is often interesting and sometimes produces great benefits. Scientists however are ... well to describe them as a bunch of cunts is totally inadequate. And yet all around the western world scientists are trying to turn science into a religion. So how do we criticise them in order to cut them down to size. The Daily Stirrer's Ian R. Thorpe favours a medieval battleaxe approach, in a metaphorical sense we hope. Although with Ian you can never be sure ...
Cancun Climate Conference Will Ignore Big QuestionsThis years international conferrence on climate change is taking place in Cancun, Mexico this week. Will it be any more successful that last years fiasco in Copenhagen? Unlikely unless the politicians grpw some balls, kill the scientists, sideline the limp wristed politically correct wimp Obama and face up to the read causes of climate problems which all come back to one thing, TOO MANY PEOPLE.
Climate Scientists And The Honesty Question As the world's media turns its attention to the latest shenanigans of world leaders and climate scientists in Cancun, Mexico, The Daily Stirrer's Ian R Thorpe invites us to look at the basic homesty of the carbon trading industry. In the run up to Cancun there has been a flurry of activity in the climate science community, including contributions from those discredited crooks and liars the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit trying to push the old line that people who see through the climate science scam "are not scientists and therefore cannot understand the science. Should we take any notice of people who have demonstrated they have serious integrity issues...
Coal Fired Power Stations Win ReprieveIn what looks like a u-turn on green energy policy the coalition government have abandoned plans to support and subsidiese operators of sustainable energy generating plants. While environment activists and green campaigners are calling this a betrayal the case may well be that in the harsh reality of governing claims made by green energy firms look totally unrealistic ...
Leading Sceptic's Climate Change U Turn?When one of the world's best known climate change deniers starts talking about how we can deal with climate related problems you might expect the climate scienceology cultists to be cheering. They are remarkably quiet however about Bjorn Lomborg's new book because it reveals he has never been a climate change denier as he was dubbed but was merely questioning the shaky science on which the carbon driven AGW case was based ...
Climate Change: Green Energy Meltdown .As the climate science fraud and the case it made that carbon emissions were the sole cause of global warming and carbon taxes, trading in carbon allowances green energy technologies that belonged in science fiction novels were the way to power the future and save the planet comes unravelled: as the great green energy experiments of Denmark and Spain leave those nations shivering in the dark as power supplies fail and subsidies to green generators bankrupt national economies we look at the real state of the climate crisis.
Anti-Science – The Church Of Scienceology's Latest Pejorative Term For People Who Think And Question.
We are not the only web site to take exception to accusations of being anti - science and all the other pejorative terms used by the Church Of Scienceology disciples to deflect criticism from independent minded people who are smart anough to ask Cui Bono? Which corporate business benefits.
Hiding The Decline In Temperatures Through Massive Data Tampering
We've said forever that the global warming scare was a massive fraud, cooked up by governments that needed an excuse to impose massive tax increases to plug the black hole in the global economy. They had willing allies in the science academe of course. Yep, so long as they are confident the research grants will keep flowing, scientists will always give their political and corporate paymaster the required answer ...
When I heard Gordon Brown giving a speech on climate change and the summit in Copenhagen which is ostensibly where the world leaders will sign a treaty that will solve all the climate related problems like Neville Chamberlain's treaty guaranteed "peace in our time" in 1939 I did not know whether to laugh or be angry. While Brown's blind faith in science and his delusional belief that ...
Climate Change Deniers Deny Nothing
In a post comparing climate change deniers to people who believe the Turin Shoud is authentic, (a shroud over the truth) Science-is-God evangelist Leo Hickman lays into the so called climate change deniers who are really denying nothing but are simply sceptical about the "science" that "proves" catastrophic changes in the Earth's weather systems will result if we do not reverse the effects of three hundred years of industrial and domestic pollution overnight?...
The Great Climate Change Science Scam
I have been campaigning about climate change for over thirty years. Now, the more I read of efforts by governments, academics and corporate interests to come up with a quick fix the more I am convinced they are working a scam to make quick, easy money. For decades the only ....
Blinding Themselves With Science
I've been getting angrier and angrier with the way scientists have been allowed to hijack the climate change debate. These people are too obsessed with their own cleverness. They produce graphs and charts and spout baffling statistics and make predictions which are instantly proved wrong.

It is unlikely the Iranian regime will collapse any time in the foreseeable future. The ayatollahs have a sound grip over the armed forces and revolutionary guard and has hundreds of thousands of supporters as was seen at the late president's funeral.While there may be a trend towards secularisation in Tehran and the few big cities the majority of the population are fanatically loyal to the religious extremists who govern them. The medieval words of Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit movement that perpetrated the horrors of The Holy Inquisition, "Give me the child to the age of seven and I will give you the man," mean exactly the same in Farsi or Arabic as they do in Latin, English or any modern world language.
