The Post Intellectual World

Isn't it strange that since the Left took over education and through political correctness much else, that everything is now so much worse? I mean, kids just don't have the education that used to be possible on a state controlled budget. The judiciary don't seem to have a firm grip on their role and senior police officers talk of taking all their officers off the streets, so they are instantly available to respond to reports of crime.

It seems almost impossible for people to be this stupid and yet the evidence is clear for all to see. How can it happen? Well, Orwell seemed to realise that, for a self-serving elite to take control, it had to create and use ignorant people. Stalin had his useful idiots, to create a fantasy of popular appeal.

Having failed after WW2 (a curious war, because it created a titanic struggle between two peoples, Russia and Germany both with the same ideology, but with a racial hatred of the other) to form a communist world, or Europe at least, others methods than democracy became imperative.

The Left had to insinuate itself into the institutions, all the better to undermine Western Civilisation. The vehicle of choice was environmentalism and specifically, global warming. You won't hear Cameron or Miliband talk of it come election time, but the logical outcome of a world wide threat, such as global warming is a world wide government. And that government, to fight this terrible plague, must do unpopular things, for our own good.

And only a government that doesn't need to be elected can be unpopular but still go about its work. So the world needs an unelected elite to take over and save the planet.

Let's just stop and think about this first though. Have we ever had a government that was able to do just what it wanted and how did that go? Well, let me see, there was the USSR where I believe tractor production was a never ending miracle of ever increasing numbers, North Korea where having enough to eat is a fairly basic problem for the greater part of the population. The European Union, for heaven's sake! I think you already get the idea.

Then there is the threat we face, global warming. How did we first discover it, what do we know and how do we know it? Ah, it was a theory postulated by not too clearly thinking through cause and effect regarding various gases and inter-actions in the atmosphere. Then the Left got hold of it and turned it into a politically useful monster. It was the invented crisis to drive us into the mindset that gave power to the waiting, malevolent elite.

What we know is this; they have conned you into believing 'carbon' is harmful and will destroy us all. They mean carbon dioxide, but carbon sounds nastier, dirty so they call it that. Accuracy is not the point, your being misled is. Plus it has the useful side effect of testing you. If you don't pull them up on it, they can be certain you are not paying attention. The story is that CO2 in the atmosphere, created by Man is causing the temperature to constantly rise, in a runaway greenhouse effect.

The problem for them is that they don't own science yet and not everyone is that stupid. So the fact that CO2 in the air continues to rise but temperatures haven't since 1998 tells you all you need to know. You have been lied to. On a massive scale. And all that expenditure and taxes to pay for it (much of it hidden in higher fuel bills) is completely and utterly unnecessary. Except, that was how they intended to destroy the Western World's economy.
