Cult pejoratively refers to a group whose beliefs or practices could be considered strange or sinister. The term was originally used to denote a system of ritual practices. The narrower, derogatory sense of the word is a product of the 20th century, especially since the 1980s, and is a result of the anti-cult movement, which uses the term in reference to groups seen as authoritarian, exploitative and possibly dangerous.

And now? Any system for examining science that originates from a person claiming to have special insight into the nature of science, and employs methods regarded as unorthodox or unscientific, or shows signs of being unhealthily obsessive compulsive?
Tim Blair's most recent postings in order from Sign of the Times downwards:
Sign of the times: a video showing a fundie holing up a sign Climategate: it won't go way, report it, CBC. Previous preferred signage for such activities was John 3:16. Could this be a sign?
Eternal melting: an aggregation of headlines from the New York Times over 128 years concerning polar doom. Previous preferred topics for this kind of monomaniacal use of google involved coverage of the impending rapture, celebrated by Christians as about to happen by the end of the year. Could this be a sign? Or a portent?
Thick atmosphere: further discussion of warmergate, confirming that the world of science is full of machinations, conspiracies and collusions of a vast kind, not limited to subtle blackmail, climate tribalism and social organization within primitive cultures. Story does not provide explanation for social organization within the primitive tribal structure known as Tim Blair's blog. Still the conspiracy unfurls like a python confronting a hapless rat.
Warmergate wrap: further discussion of deep conspiracy. Tim Flannery, previously dismissed as a loon, is now claimed as a coherent man who has had a change of heart. Expert scientist Mark Steyn referenced. Public denied the truth.
Yesterday, all their troubles seemed so far away leads to column by George Monblot, Global warming rigged? Here's the email I'd need to see
... do these revelations justify the sceptics' claims that this is "the final nail in the coffin" of global warming theory? Not at all. They damage the credibility of three or four scientists. They raise questions about the integrity of one or perhaps two out of several hundred lines of evidence. To bury man-made climate change, a far wider conspiracy would have to be revealed. Luckily for the sceptics, and to my intense disappointment, I have now been passed the damning email that confirms that the entire science of global warming is indeed a scam.
Rest of column is coverage of an email to The Knights Carbonic providing details of vast international conspiracy. While some might dismiss this as satire, must now research Knights Carbonic and their role in vast international conspiracy.
Al's Ride, leads to an exciting link about protestors chasing Al Gore. Group includes 9/11 Truthers, new world order theorists, eugenics freaks and anti-warmers. No mention of luddites, presume fear of bad weather kept them in home smashing up computers. Still, clear evidence that the cultist Al Gore is being exposed by people with a decidedly anti-cult attitude.
Better to die on your feet looks at the way dense urban electorates remain in Malcolm Turnbull's carbon corner. Tirade about ETS scheme, and cost, perhaps we need a farmers' uprising to descend on Canberra. Farmers make the best scientists of all. Wonder if we could make a straw doll dressed in dense urban folk style and stab them with pins? Worth a try?
Snack time coverage of rare cow pig dish linked to climate justice salad story about weird people who are compulsive about food. Other reports suggest Homer Simpson fainted at the sight of the grotesque bacon celebrated in the piece about compulsive meat eating. Softie! Nice to know vegan cultists are no match for bacon cultists.
Concerns heeded celebrates Concetta Fierravanti-Wells resigning from position as parliamentary secretary for immigration. The anti-Copenhagenists will not be denied, as opposed to the Calithumpians and the British Israelites, and other splitters, deviants and cultists.
Verdict in covers poll of Blair's readers, with invite to click to vote along with non-prejudicial statement about Climategate from LBC radio. Incredibly scientific result. Link to another poll, "not scientific at all, but still interesting". Herewith link to current strawpoll Are you inspired by Twitter? Contains evidence that twitter people are becoming more and more aware of international conspiracy, and are turning into anti-Copenhagenists. Further future polls at same site will surely provide further damning evidence of the cultists at work.
It's about the planet covers Malcolm Turnbull's obsession with the future of the planet, and future of our children and their children. Clear evidence he's in the grip of a conspiracy. Further Turnbull jumps a taxi queue, proving he's a bully. Update after update reveal astonishing conspiracy and revolt. The peasants are revolting!
Caution against linking confirms that icebergs spotted in south Pacific ocean have nothing to do with climate change. Delta Goodrem's birthday party performance also has nothing to do with global warming. It seems that nothing at all has anything to do with global warming. Only evidence of global warming is hot air emanating from Tim Blair's blog readership, only natural when confronted by cultists with conspiratorial tendencies.
Turnbull's legacy hints at conspiracy to rush through ETS scheme being locked in place tonight? Conspiracy fails to happen, but it could have happened, and probably would have happened, except perhaps for being exposed on Tim Blair's blog. Conspiratorial cultists always on the move, and must be nailed down wherever possible, or their hides nailed to barn door, and salted. Must keep exposing cultish conspiracies.
How you should think concerns Peter Singer's insane attempt to tell people how to think about climate change, as opposed to Tim Blair, who doesn't tell people how to think, because there's nothing to think about. These cult conspirators are insane, and attention to them is insane, but someone has to do it. Expose the cultists now.
George on the Bungle, quotes George Monbiot on climategate. Previously dismissed as a loon, but now a loon who shows clear signs he recognizes the conspiracy at work. Failure to quote Monbiot's reference to deniers' campaign of lies, grotesque as it is, avoids confusing true believers. Flurry of updates confirms the conspiracy is real.
Reach end of page, know there is further startling, damning, shocking evidence of vast international conspiracy below the fold, but can't go on. Unnerved. Clear evidence that the conspiracy is not linked to aliens or the second coming of Christ, but might well involve bristlecone pines.
Now aware that vast international conspiracy is at work, dash over to Piers Akerman. Real grassroots fury putting heat on ETS.
... falling back on the argument that John Howard backed an ETS almost a decade ago has whiskers now.
Realize that the impact of the vast international conspiracy is huge, and somehow has managed to change a decade into two years. John Howard goes to an election campaign with an ETS policy just over two years ago in 2007, and the fiends have somehow turned this into a decade with whiskers. Is there no end to the skill, nuance and subtlety of these conspirators?
Akerman provides conclusive proof that everything is a fraud and a conspiracy, and involves emotive arguments emanating from Tim Blair's blog:
Those in the electorate who have bothered to inform themselves and not be influenced by the emotive arguments issuing from the self-confessed scientific ignoramuses of the blogosphere know more about the charlatans involved in promoting global warming than they did when Kyoto was first mooted.
Tim Blair a self-confessed scientific ignoramus in the blogsophere? Clear evidence that Akerman has been captured by conspiratorial cultists?
Feeling like a scientific ignoramus in the grip of a cult? Read Piers Akerman to make sure you are.
Cult:
Etymology: French & Latin; French culte, from Latin cultus care, adoration, from colere to cultivate — more at wheelDate: 1617
1 : formal religious veneration : worship
2 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator
5 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion
A usually small group! Well they got that wrong, as the vast international conspiracy is exposed as the work of a huge mob of cultists, fixated on climate change with a kind of religious, theological fervor of a kind once only seen in Jesuits. The only way to beat this fanaticism is with fanaticism.
Now people heads down in prayer, as we venerate and thank the exposers of this vast international conspiracy, unheard of since the time when Orson Welles' exposed the invasion of the earth by Martians to a concerned populace, unheard and uncared for by those in power and self-serving authority, who were strangely unaware of this intergalactic conspiracy.
Remember! You too could become a victim of a conspiratorial cult!
(Note: no science has been provided or discussed in this piece, because of the clear and damning evidence that all science is in the grip of a vast cultish international conspiracy).
(Below: further disturbing proof of a giant, vast international conspiracy. The screen is black for a reason! No, it's not that because it's a radio broadcast, but because it's the final proof that the truth is being suppressed by a vast international cabal of scientists. No fraudulent detail is beneath them. And we can now reveal to you that the force for evil is ... The Stonecutters ... an ancient secret society unveiled here. You need to hear the truth! Part two of the original Welles' revelations is available at the same YouTube location here).
