(Alternative title “PROUD TO BELONG TO THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY”)
Within a few centuries mankind has swung out of the clutches of a tyrannical church into the clutches of a tyrannical “settled” science. We’re being conditioned to accept what the ruling elite tells us is settled, sometimes in a manner which smacks of Hegelian/ Marxist dialectics.
(SOLEE: “Sommerliebe”)
The Hegelian dialectic has been applied and defined most simply by David Icke as one of “Problem – Reaction – Solution”.
THE PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION PARADIGM
1. Government creates or exploits a problem blaming it on others.
2. The people react by asking the government for help, willing to give up their rights.
3. The government offers the solution that was planned long before the crisis.
CLIMATE CHANGE: WE’RE ALL DOOMED, UNLESS….
We’re being told that the full and unconditional acceptance of the concept of man-caused global climate change is vital if we are going to save our planet from calamity. Similarly, the teaching of evolution as proven fact at the center of all science is now said to be absolutely vital in order to avoid going back to the dark ages of total ignorance. Dissenters-even those with PhD’s –are being dismissed as bumbling idiots or even as menaces to society. Remember that the greatest scientists—the ones most responsible for great discoveries—were creationists. These include Kepler, Newton, Boyle, Bell, Kirby, Maxwell, Pasteur and Carver, among many others: http://www.icr.org/fb/Great-Scientists/
With record cold temperatures being blamed by the government on global warming, I have to wonder if the next pronouncement will be that “two and two make five”.
IS IT REALLY SETTLED SCIENCE?
In a speech to Indonesian students, civic leaders and government officials in Jakarta, mid-February, US Secretary of State John Kerry said:
“The science is unequivocal, and those who refuse to believe it are simply burying their heads in the sand.”
It’s interesting that the theory of evolution is advanced with the same tactic of short-circuiting any debate or objectivity by insisting that to any “reasonable” person the argument is “settled”. Richard Dawkins, in “The Greatest Show on Earth”, wrote:
“Evolution is a fact. Beyond reasonable doubt, beyond serious doubt, beyond sane, informed, intelligent doubt, beyond doubt evolution is a fact.”
If it’s so settled, why in the same publication, did Mr. Dawkins write this:
“We have no evidence about what the first step in making life was, but we do know the kind of step it must have been. It must have been whatever it took to get natural selection started.”
That doesn’t sound very scientific to me, and neither does it sound like evidence. In fact, his own words are “no evidence”.
THE PETITION PROJECT
Kerry claimed that “97 percent of scientists” agree that the phenomenon of man-made climate change is real. Is that a true statement? The answer is “no”. As of Sunday 2nd of March a petition signed by scientists who disagree with the idea that global warming is man-made had collected the signatures of 31,487 American scientists, including 9,029 with PhD’s. Here is a statement on the petition web-page:
“The purpose of the Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of “settled science” and an overwhelming “consensus” in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is wrong. No such consensus or settled science exists. As indicated by the petition text and signatory list, a very large number of American scientists reject this hypothesis.
“Publicists at the United Nations, Mr. Al Gore, and their supporters frequently claim that only a few “skeptics” remain – skeptics who are still unconvinced about the existence of a catastrophic human-caused global warming emergency.
“It is evident that 31,487 Americans with university degrees in science – including 9,029 PhDs, are not “a few.” Moreover, from the clear and strong petition statement that they have signed, it is evident that these 31,487 American scientists are not “skeptics.”
“These scientists are instead convinced that the human-caused global warming hypothesis is without scientific validity and that government action on the basis of this hypothesis would unnecessarily and counterproductively damage both human prosperity and the natural environment of the Earth”.

SILENCING THE OPPOSITION
As usual, the bulk of the news media are with the government, ensuring that the “right message” gets heard. And to feed that right message, Kerry said:
“We simply don’t have time to let a few loud interest groups hijack the climate conversation”.
“We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.”
To fulfil the rhetoric, President Obama is busily signing executive orders into law to “combat climate change” without consulting congress-the elected representatives of the people:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/11/01/obama-creates-climate-change-task-force/
In the world of evolution, atheists are becoming more desperate to eradicate all belief in creation, and as with all tyrannies, its the kids who are targeted the most. As an example, the New American reported:
Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” …has lately become a secular evangelist, preaching to parents about the dangers of allowing their children to be sucked into believing that someone bigger than man created the earth.
“If you want to deny evolution and live in your world that is completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that’s fine. But don’t make your kids do it,because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future.”
Waxing reflective, Nye complains that it is a “hard thing” to tolerate people with such imbecilic notions as a God who intelligently designed our living space. “You know, in another couple centuries that worldview, I’m sure, just won’t exist.”
(Ah but Bill-they were saying that two thousand years ago!)
Nye’s comments are interesting and unfortunately not at all unique. They are also rather reminiscent of what Adolph Hitler said on 1 May 1937:
“The youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. *** This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.” (2454-PS) http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/imt/nca/nca-01/nca-01-07-means-44.html
THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY
Another favorite tactic for pressuring people into silence is to threaten them for inclusion with dark-age dolts if they dare to disagree. The old “flat earth” weapon is a beaut. Kerry said:
“We don’t have time for a meeting anywhere of the Flat Earth Society,”
Dawkins, in his Review of “Blueprints: Solving the Mystery of Evolution”, wrote:
“To claim equal time for creation science in biology classes is about as sensible as to claim equal time for the flat-earth theory in astronomy classes. Or, as someone has pointed out, you might as well claim equal time in sex education classes for the stork theory.”
Well, I for one am very thankful for those storks, and proud to be a member of the flat-earth society!
SHODDY SCIENCE?
Kerry further attempts to intimidate dissenters and us, the general public, by asserting that scientists who disagree with his view are not real scientists:
“We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.”
Similarly, while there are quite a number of well-credentialed Creationist scientists (1) and Intelligent Design scientists, Dawkins and other prominent evolutionists dismiss them all and insist that all they have is faith but no science, and that science and “religion” are totally irreconcilable. Dawkins considers faith as “one of the world’s great evils”, and published “The God Delusion” in 2006. He has said:
“It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that)”.
(From Richard Dawkins’ Review of “Blueprints: Solving the Mystery of Evolution”).
SO WHAT’S THE POINT?
Climate change proponents, particularly those in high office, publicly put most of the blame for climate change onto big business, particularly the oil companies. This ensures a large amount of support from people who think that if corporations and big business are cut down to size we’ll all be much better off. Those same politicians neglect to tell us that we will be the ones paying the price in increased food and fuel prices, who will be subject to more controls and surveillance and penalties, and who will be manipulated by more laws, rules and regulations.
The sovereignty of nations is being intentionally subordinated to more control by international bodies under the UN umbrella, so that people in other parts of the world will dictate how you are to live and how much tax money you will part with. We’re being shuffled towards “global governance” (aka global government) by means of the “problem-reaction-solution” method, in which we are told we are unavoidably independent, if we do not want to succumb to some disaster or other.
But why would some scientists say that they are convinced of man-made global climate change? At least one answer to that is that if they do not, they will be lose their job or will fail to get the grants they need to stay in business. Non-governmental agencies also receive grants and funding for towing the correct line, and therefore members don’t have to go out and find a proper job like the rest of us do. Some environmentalists believe that mankind is nothing more than a cancer on the earth, or at best an animal no more valuable that a worm or a fish. They wish to see humans diminished in power and presence on the earth.
There has been no global warming for over seventeen years (2), hence the need for proponents to change the working term to “climate change”. Even if there had been, it would not prove that human activity is the cause. Climate change has been going on since the beginning of the world, but now it’s going to be used as an excuse to get more taxes out of us and to put more controls on us. Every time there’s a tornado or a hot day or a few inches of snow we’ll be told it’s due to the destructive activities and proclivities of human nature.
According to ”Science Nordic” there were farms and fields in Greenland a thousand years ago (3). According to “Science Daily” palms once grew in the Antarctic (4), and if you want to you can get coal for your fire from the North Pole (that is, until President Obama stops you -5). You can read about an ancient forest being found under Alaska’s ice:
“An ancient forest has thawed from under a melting glacier in Alaska and is now exposed to the world for the first time in more than 1,000 years.” (6).
