Stop the Insanity: "Political" science

Scarred by fascism, they fan the flames of hysteria with more vile “celebrity pseudo science.”

Like David Suzuki, Englishman Nick Stern is yet another “celebrity” trumpeting the alarm with regards to global warming. And also, like Suzuki, he is not a climatologist. Stern is - get this - not even a scientist!

And like Suzuki, he was scarred by World War Two, the battle between fascism and democracy. While Suzuki and his family were seized and confined to a wartime internment camp, leading to a (justifiable and obvious) lifetime of bitterness, Stern, “the son of Jewish parents who fled Nazi Germany for Britain in 1938, he grew up in an activist household. As a schoolboy in London, he choked daily on the coal-fired smog then enveloping the city. "You could smell it, you could taste it, you could touch it," he told The Times of London."

So here we have two of the most feted (fetid?) proponents of Marxist anti-western anti-technology anti-consumption anti-capitalist guilt, shaped by World War Two, two cunning ambitious men, one in his 60's, the other in his 70's, setting themselves up (thanks to their celebrity) as “experts” on the hysteria of the moment, “Global Warming.”

Twenty years ago it was global cooling. “The new Ice Age is coming!” Now, self-professed celebrity experts, many of whom are not even scientists (stinky Al Gore and jet-setter Laurie David can you hear me?) have decided that the massive redistribution of wealth between rich and poor countries is partly the answer, the other is the suicidal self-flagellation of paying for the triumph of the Communist Chinese Revolution, the solidification of Vlad “KGB” Putin’s hold on Russia and other sad projects such as trillions given to fiscal sinkholes like India.

The cult of “Global Warming”, the orthodoxy, the totalitarian onethink Newspeak mindset, the IPCC’s political science of wealth redistribution and “conclusion first, science later” all tell us one thing.

We’re being had.

When celebrities and “political” scientists invent a crisis, frame its cult-ish ‘debate’ as an Orwellian tragi-comic high farce, it’s time to pull up the drawbridge and man the parapets. All is not lost yet but “Ooh, Bob Rae and Scotty Brison are going to be there at Nicholas Stern’s lecture.” Doesn’t that send shivers up your spine? An English Labour Party economist lecturing other celebrity leftists on Global warming, now that’s alarming.

The only thing more disturbing than the media’s lockstep cheerleading and onethink is the sound of the public’s snoring. The Thomas A. Boldt cartoon (below) speaks volumes. When the public realizes how they’ve been hoodwinked by these ‘experts’ and the LiberalNDP (and Bloc), Harper has his majority. Even the 905 soccer moms and "New Canadians" may defect to the Tories.

If anyone is to save Canada from this "New Marxism” it will be Harper and his strategic thinkers. Environmentalism yes. Trillions to China and Russia? Insanity. Hysteria and insanity. No two words more aptly describe Kyoto.

Stop the insanity.
