Whistleblower Authenticates Heartland DocumentsClimate scientist Peter Gleick has acknowledged that he was the person who convinced the Heartland Institute to hand over the contents of its January Board package, authenticating the documents beyond a doubt and further exposing the disinformation campaign Heartland has pursued in the last week, trying to discredit the information.
Meanwhile, back in the real world ….
Heartland Memo Looking Faker by the Minute
After yesterday’s post on why I thought that one of the documents in the Heartland leak was a fake, I discovered that David Appell had been investigating along the same lines. Appell, however, looked at one thing that hadn’t occurred to me: where the PDF was created. One of his commenters elaborates:
I used a pdfinfo script to analyse the memos. The info I got is that all the meta data dates changed on the day of the leak in the Pacific time zone (-8 GMT). This is likely where our thief resides. This is also where the “fake” was created on 2/13. The other docs, with the exception of the IRS form were in the central time zone (-6 GMT). The IRS form was -4 GMT. This has been corroborated by a commenter at Lucia’s. Based on this, and I’m not sure if I’ve covered every base, the strategy memo is a fake.
The only other option would be if the create dates were faked, highly, highly unlikely or, the sender from HI didn’t have the doc, and someone from the west coast scanned it , emailed to her to send to the leaker. This, to me, doesn’t seem likely either. Logically, I have to go with HI’s story.
If I follow the logic of DeSmog then G. Gordon Liddy & Crew were actually ‘whistleblowers’ and deserve exhoneration.
Desmoblog should submit Gleick’s name for Hero of the Soviet Union in the Agitprop category.
DeSmug will be wiped of their face when Heartland is finished with them. By implying that Gleick was a whistleblower they are suggesting that Heartland Institute were involved in illegal or dishonest activities. They are about to be DeSmugged.
Shouldn’t the post be titled “Forger Peter Gleick Authenticates Forged Heartland Documents”?
DeSmogBlog deserve a good pinging:

About a month ago I clicked over to a propaganda youtube that Gleick put out. I could only watch about 2o seconds of it before hitting pause, so I could get to writing my insulting comment without having to see or listen to any more of that scumbag. If there ever was a picture of a sanctimonious holier-than-thou “super intellectual” bearded liberal know-it-all, it’s that doofus.
Here’s 2 things that are a lot less scary then having to endure the countenance and screed of the bs artist Gleick. I found what I thought was A Real Life Creature from the Black Lagoon: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthpicturegalleries/9093312/Creatures-of-the-deep-terrifying-macro-pictures-of-polychaetes-or-bristle-worms.html
Here’s the actual movie creature for comparison: http://www.hdwallpapersdesktop.com/Movies/Creature-From-the-Black-Lagoon/imagepages/image5.htm
Good interview of Joe Bast of the Heartland Institute. Joe is a reasonable, decent fellow.
