Truth will out!

"If you believe that tens of thousands of scientists are colluding in a
massive conspiracy, nothing anyone can say is likely to dissuade you."
[New Scientist: May 2007]

Actually, I'm inclined to agree with Ray for once. I've spent a couple
of weeks in my spare time researching the subject and am concluding
that the threat is actually part of a campaign of politized fear aimed
at controlling the US civilian population.

If you wish, I can provide you with references and reasons.



Prepare to be executed" You must follow the "directive" to suggest otherwise
is to put me and you in the same place... - imagine that LOL!!!

Meantime, you may want to scope through this post placed in scs some
weeks ago by me.

When I was a youngster, we lived in an atmosphere of confidence and
the knowledge that no matter what happened we could contain its
consequences. We had just fought a second world war and had emerged
somewhat scathed but unbowed. The Empire was still intact and apart
from rumblings from Russia, we were ready to enjoy the fruits of
peace.

From then to now the western world's perceptions have changed
completely. We live in constant fear of new disasters; global warming;
carbon dioxide increasing; dangerous weather patterns; new diseases
from Asia and Africa; inadequate pensions; attacks by religious
madmen, worries about the economy; fears of resources running out;
changes in the make-up of our countries as aliens pour in; threats to
our ways of life; crime; germs; chemicals; additives; pollutants;
worries about nuclear war; cancer; - in other words, everything that
gladdens the heart of a disaster junkie.

Why is this?

For example, I have been doing some serious reading about global
warming and am slowly beginning to think that it is pure nonsense.

Everything I can find that comes from a "reputable" source suggests
that we are in the middle of a natural warming trend which has been in
business since 1850, following a 400 year-long cold spell known as
"The Little Ice Age". Examples are the Great Frost of 1683-4, when the
River Thames froze over and a fair was held on the Thames ice. The
last great frost occurred in 1825 and this engraving below shows
people walking on the River and again holding a fair:

I think that there now exists an alliance between science and politics
which is not to our advantage, but very much so to politicians and
scientists. Not all scientists have caved in to political pressure -
Hans Blix, the UN inspector who swore that there were no WMDs in Iraq
and was promptly rubbished as incompetent; Dr. Kelly who told
journalists that the evidence for WMDs was being cooked up by the
Blair government and was leaned on so heavily that he committed
suicide, but people who depend on government grants for their research
are very vulnerable to suggestions that their funding might be cut off
unless they go along with political perceptions.

Who does this benefit? Well, just think about the draconian reactions
to terror attacks like 9/11. The US swarming with beefed-up and new
aggressive police agencies like Homeland Security; British civil
rights essentially tossed out of the window as police and spy agencies
combine to paint a terrifying picture of bombers on every bus; much of
it thwarted by your eagle-eyed government springing to your rescue,
but forced to impose certain rules and remove certain rights for the
protection of the realm. Rights like the right to proceed about your
lawful occasions without let or hindrance by the police; now the
subject of an insane ID system which had cost billions and still isn't
working.

Back to the pensions funds for more money to spend on the problem!

Am I an alarmist? I don't think so; a cynic would be a much better
description. I don't think politicians are wonderful; my view is that
most of them couldn't find their own arse without a map, and whether
Cicero was correct in saying that politicians are not born but
excreted, most seem to be full of what the elder George Bush called
"doo-doo".

Politicians thrive on ordering other people around. It's what the job
is about. Do you walk with the aid of a cane? Some politician will
eventually cram through a law saying that you must register it at the
post office as a potentially deadly weapon.

Does your malt whisky taste peatier than usual? Another five million
will be laid aside to study the effects of carbon dioxide emissions on
peat, while your whisky will be "unavailable" until further notice.
Government-approved scientists will wallow in the trough for as long
as the bounty lasts before emerging to reassure the public that their
peat is safe and they can resume drinking Talisker.

Phew! Saved again by science and our friends at Westminster!

I have taken note that those scientists who claim that global warming
is crap, are also those who have retired and no longer need to worry
about grant renewals. Meanwhile, the media shows pictures of ice-free
Arctic regions with no explanation that such "leads" as they're
called, are and have always been commonplace. Would you believe that
Antarctic ice thickness is increasing? And have you noticed how many
environmental agencies there are, constantly asking for funds to
support their huge staffs?

The fact is that governments now use fear to control their citizens.
Afraid of microwaves giving you cancer? Your government has ordered
microwave oven manufacturers to cure the problem. You are now safe as
never before! Guess who you vote back into power at the next election.

The whole Iraqi scam has been a classical example. Saddam made one
mistake while trying to impress his neighbours with what a big mover
and shaker he was; he spoke about being able to fire rockets into
Europe.

Instant reaction from Europe - "Stop Saddam at any price!" The UN
says, "Hold it - we'll make sure Saddam is telling the truth!"
Inspectors work night and day and find nothing - Saddam cooperates
fully; he is already aware that he went a step too far and could be in
serious trouble. He may have been a ***, but only a guy with lots
of street smarts stays in power as long as he did in a country like
Iraq.

The UN says, "No WMDS!" but Bush isn't listening as he wants to avenge
the attempted assassination of his father during the celebrations in
Kuwait after Desert Storm, while Blair sees his chance to be another
Winston Churchill. Saddam pays for his boast with his life; Blair get
tossed out of power for being Bush's poodle and Bush is now being
nailed to the cross as the man who's responsible for the deaths of
3,610 American as of this morning.

9/11 was a different matter. In the US, paranoia is a way of life.
Bush announced that Canada is seething with terrorists, all desperate
for a chance to blow up the United States. Fences are built to keep
out Mexicans and people from unfriendly countries. The US Airforce
runs bombing exercises on the very edge of the International Boundary
between the US and Canada. Festung Amerika (Fortress America) is
established. When the US government shouts "Jump!" 299 million
Americans jump with the promise that the one million radicals who
don't will be dealt with later... The citizens are totally under the
thumb of the Administration.

The UK can't command quite the same response. Three car bombs fail to
do their job; the English keep partying in the same neighbourhood; in
Glasgow, a Scottish hero is born and the Scots say, "Bring 'em on,
Osama; we'll do the bastards!" Thirty years of IRA bombing have
hardened the Brits as far as terrorism is concerned.

Even so the governments in both countries keep raising and lowering
the danger levels like a whore's knickers at a Shriners' convention
but the effect is wearing off. We haven't heard from Osama for a
couple of years now and there's an excellent chance that he's no
longer with us. Of course, it's in no one's interest to make that
official; Al-Qaeda keeps issuing threats and the various governments
keep responding. Eventually it will all come to an end when the public
gets bored with the whole charade, but in the meantime, a wonderful
time will have been had by all.

If only that other Blair - Eric, aka George Orwell, could have lived
to see his prophesies come true...

Absolutely spot on! Excellent post. I'm convinced "global warming" and
the "war on terror" are simply exercises in imposing control over the
populace for political (financial) gain. It behoves us, the wide awake,
to point out and correct popular misconceptions. :-)

As if both Global Warming and Wars on Terror were not enough of an
attempt to control us we have the On-The-Spot fines levied by Jobsworth
council employees who act as Arresting Officer, Charge Sergeant, Judge,
Jury and Executioner. We have the Police Forces who can now lift anyone
off the streets and hold them without charge. We have Customs & Excise,
Tax Inspectors, BBC License Fee Detector Vans, DVLC in Cardiff and now
England's Chief Medical Officer is asking that we all be regarded as
organ donors unless we opt out. The buggers are not content controlling
us when we are alive they are now attempting to control us after we are
dead. When that Hugh Gaitskell said we would be looked after from the
cradle to the grave he certainly was not kidding.

Nothing irks me more than some jobsworth who thinks he is _better_ than
you just because he has some power to wield. Did you read the one about
the Inland Revenue seeking powers to confiscate money directly from bank
accounts of people who "owe" unpaid tax to them, even if the amount is in
dispute, without requiring any sort of court order as they do presently?
This means anyone who disputes their tax bill will have to "prove" the
Inland Revenue wrong _after_ it has been removed from their bank account,
i.e. guilty until proven innocent, instead of testing the evidence in
court. This is against a backdrop of endemic incompetence within the IR,
who wish to be trusted with making judicial decisions "in house". Bigger
government, anyone?

We seem to be abandoning long-established checks and balances in favour of
automatic, zero-flexibility, punitive actions upon the innocent majority
to somehow "get at" offenders; the wide brush approach. Where's the
justice in that?

It all paints a picture of a country dedicating itself to Orwellian
principles. I'm surprised that there isn't more public reaction to the
above; something I would have expected to see condemned in Reader's
Letters and comments in newspapers like the Telegraph and the
Scotsman.

As you can see, Falcon I was not alone in my suspicions about
political control through fear.
