ideological myopia

The current unwritten (but dramatically enforced in many different ways) code of conduct is to never doubt the prevailing majority 'expert' opinion, (we have moved light years away from intelligent questioning particularly in academia). However the current massive 'elephant in the room'  or 'emperors clothes' (choose your ideal metaphor) of the (current) ruling ideology i.e. 'environmentalism' has me quietly seething in the aisles. Thank goodness for this blog!

Whilst we have for some time now been assaulted by television programs telling us how to cut back on our electricity consumption (aka carbon footprint!), tonight happened to be the final straw for me. Once more we were lambasted with ideas, opinions and advice about how best to cut our electricity bills (which are going to more than double in the very near future) by turning off our technological 'toys', eliminating unnecessary usage (lets just all go live in a cave shall we?) and installing devices which 'monitor' our wastage's.

In effect the one thing that all of these 'experts' are saying is; that it is our responsibility to cut our power usage and therefore our costs, which translates to mean that if we cannot curb our usage and prices continue to soar, the only people to blame is ourselves.

Ingenious, blame the suckers who actually have nothing to do with the cost of power for the rising prices.

Also never mind those who have no choice in the matter; the MS sufferers who need to control their temperature environment, or those who rely on life support systems etc. Initially they would be subsidised that is until handouts are longer viable due to the public purse strings snapping, then the radical environmentalists would be free to activate their more extreme social programs (programs which have already been documented and discussed), programs which include euthanizing the medically imperfect and not only from birth (which is currently being implemented) but at any time...of course with the agreement of two or three doctors!!!!

Of course at this time such a program would not include the socially irresponsible (i.e. those who excesses have left them incapacitated through drugs, booze, std's etc) or minority groupings, both of which remain left wing shibboleths. However in time and factoring in one of the primary foundations of the environmentalist dogma i.e. that human beings are the the earths most destructive virus, how long do you think it will be before any who do not live up to the Utopian ideal will last (think Hitler's Aryan perfection).

I am not advocating that we should be wasteful or polluting, on the contrary we should strive to constantly better our stewardship of this marvellous planet, but let us look at the actual facts before us. The current crisis re the price of electricity is not because we lack the means to produce cheap power, not at all, instead we have been sold a lie called anthropogenic global warming, a lie which is unravelling rapidly but will never be defeated by reason or fact because too many people have invested their futures, reputations, bank balances and lives on it.

A huge fat lie is the cause and the only way to defeat this lie is for someone courageous enough and in a position to unravel the mechanisms to do so. Please vote for courage in the next election.
