UK police seize computers of skeptic blogger in England Posted on December 14, 2011 by Anthony Watts The first blogger to break the Climategate2 story has had a visit from the police and has had his computers seized. Tallbloke’s Talkshop first reported on CG2 due to the timing of the release being overnight in the USA. Today he was raided by six UK police (Norfolk Constabulary and Metropolitan police) and several of his computers were seized as evidence. He writes:
After surveying my ancient stack of Sun Sparcstations and PII 400 pc’s, they ended up settling for two laptops and an adsl broadband router. I’m blogging this post via my mobile.
That means his cellphone. In his blog report are all the details. including actions in the US involving WordPress and the US Department of Justice. Jeff Id at The Air Vent also has a report here.

Boy does that law firm know how to pick some wieners. Do they realize that the more they press, the closer the encryption key comes to release ? If they just let it go, according to history, the key wont be released until just before the next big Fascist Conference from the UN.
So the KGB, errrrr DOJ are in on it....
Very important BTTT.

UPDATE2: 12/15/9AM It seems that the story has gone viral on blogs. Four skeptic blogs are in the top ten of all WordPress blogs today. While I’ve seen 2 at a time on CG1 and CG2, four has never happened before. This is from my wordpress.com dashboard:
Global Warming on Free Republic
************************************EXCERPT****************************************
From top to bottom, WUWT, The Air Vent, Tallbloke’s Talkshop, Climate Audit.
UPDATE3: Delingpole in the Telegraph thinks its going to escalate
UPDATE4: Horner in The Washington Examiner weighs in
UPDATE5: The Guardian picks up on the story here
UPDATE6: Jo Nova suggests it is a form of intimidation
UPDATE7: Josh weighs in with two cartoons
UPDATE8: Greg Laden on Scienceblogs accuses Tallbloke of being a “criminal” – a claim really over the line and over the top. Of course, after reading the rant of hate this man has for anyone not like him, especially Americans in some states, I suppose it’s just another day for him.
See No. 45.
GLOBAL WARMING PING!
This is what happens to you if you violate teh left-wing orthodoxy.
The GlobalWarmists are powerful.
A ton of money has flowed over the years for research to support the AGW argument. Practically no government money has been spent on opposing research.
Careers in science and government have been built around the AGW myth. This has gone on for about thirty years, so it is fully incorporated into government, journalism, “science”, “scientific” journalism, academia.
If not for the internet, they would have succeeded in steamrolling all of the western governments into submitting to UN control, a huge “spread the wealth” scam, and the socialist’s dream of government running industry.
So now, when they feel threatened by the sources on the internet, they are out to silence them, either by legal action or by intimidation. To them, it’s a matter of survival.
I’m sure they have visions of a rapidly shrinking empire as AGW skepticism has increased. How can climatologists pay for all their glorious research, all of the field instruments, the lab work, the computer modeling, the flitting about the globe to attend various conferences. And kiss all of those awards goodbye. All of that recognition. Those honoraria for speaking engagements.
They’ll have to give up their prime offices, fire their large staffs, and move back into a janitor’s closet. At parties, when they tell people they are climatologists, it will just elicit yawns.

.....Time names "OWS Protester" as "Man of the Year"
.....DOJ decides the 2008 Philadelphia election day poll place intimidation thugs were not breaking the law.
.....People blowing the lid off the largest scandal known to man, the global warming science fake and cover up for financial gain and communism take over all over the world, are enemies of the state and must be intimidated and prosecuted.
Governments around the world, and particularly here in the USA these days, are at at odds with their own law abiding and productive people. Only thugs, lazy a$Z communist sympathizers, and cop car crappers are seen as role models and lawful citizens.
Our world has turned upside down.
