PSI Acumen Ltd. DUE Diligence - Selected E-mails

UPDATES:

2013-05-29 Added E-mails since 19th April, mainly concerning Russian scientist Dr. Habibullo Ismailovich Abdussamatov's hasty withdrawal from membership of PSI Acumen Ltd. "subsidiary" Principia Scientific International less than one month after his membership was announced by PSI's "Recruitment Officer" Terry Jackson (see Section 4.7 of "SpotlightON - PSI and PSI Acumen Ltd" - http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/spotlighton-principia-scientific.html).


"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
“The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.”

1.0 Introduction


The article "SpotlightON - PSI and PSI Acumen Ltd." (http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/spotlighton-principia-scientific.html) provides background about the formation by UK resident John O'Sullivan and US resident Walter James O'Brien of the UK limited company PSI Acumen Ltd. (PSIA). This post includes significant e_mail exchanges relating to the registration of PSI Acumen Ltd. on on 4th March 2013, the change of status of Principia Scientific International (PSI) from simply an Internet-based "science association"/blogging group to a "subsidiary" of PSIA.

A significant E-mail from Walter James O'Brien on 19th April claimed that he has had nothing to do with PSI since 25th March 2013 - only 3 weeks after PSIA's "Date of Incorporation" (4th March 2013). It should be noted that Companies House records still show (25th May 2013) Walter James O'Brien as the major shareholder and a Director of PSIA.

NB: A related article "SpotlightON - PSI Acumen Ltd" is to be posted shortly, meanwhile see "SpotlightON - PSI and PSI Acumen Ltd." (http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/spotlighton-principia-scientific.html), particuarly Section 7.0 "Governance".

DEATH BY DROWNING - THE NEXT PHASE OF INDOCTRINATION? - PART 3


"Rising Sea Levels"???


The first two articles in this series (http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/death-by-drowning-next-phase-of.html and http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/death-by-drowning-next-phase-of_29.html) looked at the possible motives of two publishing companies (Bloomsbury in the UK and McFarlane and Co. in the USA) for getting involved in what looks like a very small (and reducing?) niche market, the climate change debate.


UPDATES:

2013-05-27: Footnote 1 updated with a comment from Dr. Nils Axel-Morner on St. Louis, Senegal.

THANKS MAGGIE

My thanks to sadly departed Margaret Thatcher for saving us in the 70's from the stranglehold of  the trade unions and the persistent mismanagement of our economy by the Labour Party, demoralising taxation, explosion in public service (non-)job creation, rampant inflation, etc. etc. etc.

She restored our National pride and stature in world affairs but what a shame that she did not take us out of the EU while she was at it.

David Cameron's "New Conservatives" appear to have no-one within their ranks with the courage to sort out the the stranglehold that the EU has over us now or the mess that New Labour presided over and left for others to sort out. Cameron's "New Conservatives" experiment is unlikely to be any more successful than Blair's "New Labour" experiment was.

It looks as though there is only one alternative

Are Politicians Just Parrots?


It’s been a while since I wrote about shenanigans in the political arena and Obama’s recent inaugural speech provides some fodder linking my two pet subjects, the “Politicization of Climate Change and CO2” (http://nzclimatescience.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=374&Itemid=1).
