You know, people who are close to me, but not yet awake, uncannily ask the same sorts of questions. Related to Global Warming, Global Change, Global Something, Global Anything, Global Whatever, it often goes like this:
"Well isn't the science settled on this? That's what I read."
"Where did you read it?"
"I don't know, somewhere."
"Come on, think. Where? What sort of location? Was it on the TV, for example? In a newspaper?"
"A newspaper."
"What newspaper?"
"I don't remember."
"Okay, what newspapers do you read? Do you read any?"
"I pick up the War Wall Street Journal sometimes."
"You realize that this is a source of information which filters out all dissent to the Elite's agenda."
"Elite? Who are they?"
"The secretive, old, kingpin banking families, in league with the highest click(s) of the intelligence agencies."
"How do you know? Do you have proof?"
"I have seen for myself over the past few years that MSM reports one thing, and it is all proven as lies and propaganda by the alternative media. One thing is for sure, what would you conclude if after a year of study, you had seen hundreds, maybe thousands, of stories and facts reported in the alternative media, but which were totally absent from MSM? I mean in the beginning you are confused. But after a while, you see the game. One side leaves out the truth, and the other side tells it. It's really that simple."
"Yes, but how do you know"
"Alright, let's take a break here, okay?"
Sigh.
If is only by learning outside MSM, seeking sources outside the behemouth of lies, that we can develop any sort of clear picture of reality. This goes most especially for issues like Global Warming/Change/Something/Anything.
A good start on the 1,000 scientist signed onto vociferously opposing the absurd lie of Global Warming/Whatever is the below article from Activist Post. (A thousand scientists, huh? You don't say. Hey, why didn't I hear about this on Fox?)
Here's a snippet, and then the link:
"Science is supposed to be about evidence and proof, not consensus. But that idea is now laughed out of court. Science is about PR and who sits on the important thrones."
