How Dare You

 

Just a few short years ago I took the bus to Belfast to watch the Skool Streik protest over global warming. It was a colourful and noisy event with thousands of schoolchildren marching, waving flags and banners. One spoke very clearly through its simplicity – ‘No Planet B’. It was good to see a younger generation exercise their ability to gather and voice their disgust at the frightful state to which we’ve trashed the planet. I cheered at the spectacle of young Greta Thunberg admonishing the UN General Assembly for abandoning their responsibilities to future generations. But I’ve long since changed my perspective on global warming, which I now recognise as a scam. I was taken in, like millions of others, but now that I know better, I’ll do better. Although this old fart can admit he was duped – there’s no fool like an old fool, Greta has done a dangerous disservice to a generation.

One of the most frightening aspects of the scam is that politicians have largely jumped on the climate change bandwagon without examining the facts. They have adopted the populist approach of standing strong for the latest thing. Even according to Wikipedia CO2 levels have reached only 0.04% of the atmosphere. Yet this gas, upon which our trees and foliage depend and which in turn give us oxygen, has been demonised as the culprit for self-inflicted mass extinction. This is palpable nonsense of course but neatly sidesteps the very real issue of pollution which is poisoning the commons and is attacking our health through our food, water and air.

Neither does climate change enjoy a scientific consensus. There are many prominent academics opposing the UN / IPCC narrative but their views are censored or attacked, never debated. The charge toward ‘sustainable energy sources’ such as wind and solar farms ignores the huge acreage required for them to replace fossil fuel plants. It also ignores the fact that we will leave all this decaying infrastructure to our children long after the installations are decommissioned. Further it ignores that much of this non-biodegradable infrastructure is manufactured in China using fossil fuel power stations still being opened at more than one a month.

I have long held the view that we should be doing everything possible to reduce pollution and clean up the mess caused by accumulating nuclear waste for decades. Rather than a knee-jerk opposition to all things nuclear we should acknowledge its relative safety per kilowatt hour energy generated and be supporting promising initiatives such as that of the Copenhagen Atomics ‘Waste Burner’. This promising technology is very compact, yields much higher efficiency and drastically reduces the radioactivity of waste products to circa 300 years. The idea of the Thorium Moulton Salt Reactor is not new. The first concept reactor was built in Tennessee in the 1960s and ran continuously for almost 5 years. So why has it been ignored for so long? - It didn’t produce Plutonium for weapons.

Alan Jones, a former presenter at Sky News Australia, is largely responsible for my change of mind. He started a wider investigation of the narrative, which like covid-19, doesn’t survive a scratching. It also woke me up to the very real threat of geoengineering and the pioneering research of scientists like Dane Wigginton. When one is faced with the evidence that the government has lied to us it inevitably raises the question did they ever tell us the truth? I never considered myself a conspiracy theorist but since the difference between that and a conspiracy is now typically reduced to six months, perhaps I should consider it a badge of honour.

So with all your doom and gloom scenarios Greta, you have created a mood of hopelessness among our youth and misdirected their anger. You have stripped them of their agency and replaced it with impotent protest. You have served your corporate masters and Agenda-30 well. How Dare You!

The Greater Good

Christians around the world this week commemorate the birth of the church of Christ.  They recount the brutal murder of a great teacher who lived an exemplary life and walked in the world but without being of it. His popularity with ordinary people and his disdain of the monetary drivers that consumed the lives of the great and good of his day marked him out for destruction. But it wasn’t to be enough to assassinate him silently; the brutality of his death was to serve as a warning to others who might have dared challenge the status quo and put God before money. In the three short years of his public ministry he had awoken the innate longing of all people to know the purpose of their existence and to live life to the full. He knew perfectly well that his message was an afront to the established power structure of society. He also knew that no good deed goes unpunished, and since his life was a compendium of good deeds he’d well and truly marked his card. In a moment of premonition of his demise he told his followers – ‘Greater love hath no man, than that he lay down his life for his friends’ – or the Aramaic equivalent thereof. He’s right of course; but never did he say that the state should decide who should lay down their lives or how they should do it. The choice must always be by the individual and not by the collective. Nor was there to be any sense of coercion of behaviour for the common good.

Now some two thousand years later the world is in a terrible mess. We have morphed into a species that has become dependent on technology to tell us who, what, why and where we are. The media controls our thinking by curating the narrative we are to follow and we are maintained in a constant state of fear to ease our manipulation. For centuries we have been pitched against each other and encouraged to play ‘He who dies with the most toys wins’. But now the chaos has achieved new heights. We have synthesised a plague, started a war and are engineering a global famine. The tempo of terror is red-lining and common sense is out the window. Society is now destabilised to the point that we are ready to enslave ourselves by introducing digital control of our lives. From cradle to grave we are to abdicate our autonomy to technocrats or ‘useful idiots’ – the politician parasites who tell us what to think. ‘Clean’ water is poisoned with Fluoride, Clean air is polluted with particulates, ‘Organic’ food is grown in fields fertilised with human waste, the bread basket of Europe is to be poisoned by depleted Uranium munitions and we are to stay free of disease by getting jabbed at six month intervals for the rest of our miserable lives.  Whose idea was that? How have we accepted this nonsense as being for the greater good?

The Christian story has a happy ending. Our hero, Jesus, is resurrected into new life and once again walks among his followers who are now emboldened to live his message of love.  That wasn’t the plan of the elite controllers. Instead of topping one guy they are now faced with many millions of dissenters. So now they’re hopelessly outnumbered and urgently need a Plan B. The declining Roman Empire opted to reinvent itself as the Church of Rome and don sheep’s clothing. But they’ve been rumbled and the game’s up. No amount of bells and smells can mask the stench of corruption.

So let’s now return to God’s plan for the world. (Whoever thought that man could do it better?) Let’s repair the damage – First stop digging the hole, secondly remove the toxic way of life we have been living and then use the best of natural methods and materials to restore health and wellbeing. Who needs media? – apart from the Kardashians? So it’s not about confrontation and investing one more moment in fear. Rather it’s about replacing the hatred  of the other with love for all. Living in honour with our fellow man and woman, and living with respect for nature as the caretakers we are meant to be. That sounds like something worth laying one’s life down for don’t you think? That’s what the Greater Good looks like.
