You see, Redman, when you find a .edu site, that means "educational", a
University normally.

With a vested interest

From what special interest group?

Name a company, any one.

Here's a couple of pieces about your beloved Messiah James Hansen, note the
vested interest, fingers in many pies, s***

The claims against anthropogenic global warming skeptics are often the same:
they're all shills for big oil or other industry wishing to poke holes in
the 'consensus theory' of global warming (which isn't a consensus at all).
Under the so-called "politicization of science" program, George Soros' (the
favourite fundraiser of many democrats) has reportedly given as much as
$720,000 to Hansen to help package his alarmist claims and get them pushed
by the mainstream media. How many people, for instance, know that James
Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the
mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute ,
which gave him "legal and media advice"? That's right, Hansen was packaged
for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000,
most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program. So he got
some big paychecks from Soros - but was there a quid pro quo? The evidence
certainly indicates as much: That may have meant that Hansen had media
flacks help him get on the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers
pressuring officials to let him spout his supposedly "censored" spiel for
weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda. Hansen even
succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news performances, in
forcing NASA to change its media policies to his advantage. Had Hansen's
OSI-funding been known, the public might have viewed the whole production
differently. The outcome could have been different.

Did Soros' funding pay off? You be the judge. Do a quick Google search on
James Hansen to read any of the thousands of mainstream media stories
touting Hansen's claims of censorship by the Bush administration. This
wouldn't be the first time credibility questions have been raised regarding
Hansen and his alarmist claims. But the alarmist's favourite poster-boy
James Hansen is hardly the only benefactor of Soros' funding designed to get
more media play for politicized topics important to the left.



When you're a NASA scientist who has repeatedly ignored policies you agreed
to upon employment with said agency and you'd like to gain more headlines by
claiming you've been muzzled. The name James Hansen was splashed across
headlines worldwide last month when he claimed to have been muzzled by the
Bush administration. After being denied the opportunity to complete an
interview with NPR (such limitations are apparently standard practice by
NASA) Hansen claimed the Bush administration was attempting to silence his
alarmist viewpoint. But upon questioning yesterday in Washington DC, it was
revealed that the NASA employee had already completed over a thousand media
interviews prior to the NPR request (emphasis mine throughout): But
Republicans told him the hundreds of other interviews he did belie his broad
claim he was being silenced. "We have over 1,400 opportunities that you've
availed yourself to, and yet you call it, you know, being stifled," said
Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican. And furthermore, Hansen had
already violated NASA policy by failing to inform his employer of such
interviews: Mr. Deutsch, who was 23 at the time, said Mr. Hansen was
prohibited from doing the interview because of his prior refusal to notify
NASA officials when he was granting interviews, not for political reasons.
Citing what he called his "constitutional right" to give interviews, Mr.
Hansen admitted violating NASA's press policy but defended his actions. And
following the "muzzling" by the Bush administration, somehow Hansen did more
than a dozen more interviews: Citing what he called a "growth of political
interference," Mr. Hansen said he was forced by NASA officials to deny an
interview request from NPR because press officials believed the network to
have a liberal bias.

But Mr. Issa noted that Mr. Hansen conducted 15 interviews in the month
after accusing the Bush administration of censorship. Another minor detail
that was no where to be found in earlier revelations about this scientist:

Mr. Hansen received a $250,000 grant from the Heinz foundation, which is
controlled by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts
Democrat. Mr. Hansen was a vocal supporter of Mr. Kerry's 2004 presidential
campaign. How many media outlets that pushed this "censorship" story will
cover this revealing follow-up?



Bwhehehehehehehehe, LMFAO
