Climate Change and the Comfortably Dumb

The Comfortably Dumb don't want to be woken. Captain Paul Watson of Sea Shepard fame put up a post about the worlds first factor six storm, with winds way above 200 km an hour, with waves more than fifty feet high, heading to wards Fukushima Japan. You know the place with the worlds latest nuclear disaster. I read through the entire 250 comments. Other than my self and Captain Paul no mention of man made climate change was made. A lot commented about the evils of HARP. Many appealed for us to pray to God. Many others had some kind of weird new age dribble about the grand mother punishing Japan for the whale slaughter. The stupids dominate and they are driving us to extinction.

Good news about this storm it has lost a lot of its original fury and has being down graded but it is a warning. The point I'm making is too many people seem unable to face the truth of climate change and would rather believe anything but it is man made.

The majority of people, according to the polls, apparently do believe in man made climate change but will not vote as they apparently believe and will not change their relationship with the earth to reflect that belief. The mundane normalcy of conformity to our dead end system, still prevails. Due to dual powers of listening to the ramblings of the propaganda of our corporate media climate denialism and mindless popularism of commitment to the do nothing status quo. This is in spite the scientific and the earths many warnings such as the Typhoon above. The worlds first known factor six storm. Then when they do finally act. It will be to no avail and all too late.  Then when the average person wakes up from their lulled into comfortable sleep. Mass panic could set in. There will be violence and the real troubles will start. Prepare my friends do not be caught sleeping when the inevitable it's all going to shit, hits.

Joining your local climate action group, becoming involved with your local community garden, recycling, going vegan and setting up solar panels on your roof is a good start. Yet it will be more effective in truly becoming involved with the transition town movement, learning to build an earth ship and getting some land in a place like new zealand would be better. Most importantly become involved with like minded people. As a member of a wised up and active community you and your loved ones would far so much better in tomorrows very troubled world. Some how differences in skin colour, religion, etc will pale into insignificance. To what lays ahead.

The Coming Domionist Threat

The Republican party is largely dominated by its tea tards and hard right Christians of the
Dominionist variety, especially in the southern states. Dominionist especially wish to set up a theocratic state in the US and then using US military might, the rest of the world. Quite a growing number of Americans know this but the majority are still under the thrall of mainstream media. Which has largely ignored this threat.

Combine southern voter suppression laws, with comfortable ignorance and voter fatigue with the two term Democrats and the mid term elections in the USA are looking to go the republican way but the deeply scary thing is this voting could be a precursor to the election to who sits in the white house as president in 2016. 

This is especially possible because market analyzers are predicting yet another world wide market correction similar to the 2008 GFC before the end of Obama's term. Even with a well co-ordinated campaign against them. The reality of an extreme right Dominionist republican government coming to power in the USA, is even more assured. You can kiss the US doing anything about climate change good bye and world war three is a definite. You can also kiss woman's rights, protection of the environment, minority rights and workers rights goodbye. The Feudal reality of the dark ages will be upon us again.

The Death of Critical Thinking In America and Australia

Have you noticed the tactic of the right to sloganise ideas. To repeat talking points over and over add infinitum. This is designed to circumnavigate the public's critical thinking faculties. As Joseph Gobbles, Hitlers chief propagandist, said, "repeat a lie long enough and people will believe you". Further more there has being the growth of the bling and celebrity culture, at the expense of high brow quality media, in many western countries, including Australia and especially in America. Weather this is deliberate or purely media responding to what works in the public realm. Is arguable but I for one have given up watching dumb game shows, obnoxious rubbish like big brother and the puriel celebrity culture shows such as dancing with the stars. What it does do is create unthinking morons. Who uncritically accept government fear mongering such as the recent so called terror of Muslim extremists living in our midst. Worked a treat distracting the easily manipulated form the Hocking horror, kick the average aussie in the proverbial nuts, budget and gave the federal government a good bounce in the polls. Bang those war drums and wrap your self up in the flag boys, it works a treat fooling the plebs.

Then there is the education system. In the southern states of America especially. The replacement of official history with a conservative filtered one. Which down plays slavery and segregation plus removes all reference to civil disobedience, such as campaigns for the right to vote, the civil rights and anti war movements, etc. We have similar attempts in Australia with the appointment to the education board of history revisionists who seek to down play the effects of colonialism on the Australian natives, the Aborigines, especially the massacres that occurred, for our kids history education. In Texas they have actually banned the teaching of critical thinking because it leads to the kids questioning their parents religious beliefs. Then there is the replacement of the modern school curriculum and the text books. With wakie teaching the world is only 6000 years old, creationism as  uposed to evolution and the deliberate targeting of school boards by mindless conservative Christians All this largely funded by the Koch brothers. The list goes on.

It is quite clear that certain invested interests of a corporate nature seek to create a mass subclass of people smart enough to operate the machine but not smart enough to challenge it. Kids in the southern states are being taught the importance to non questioning submission to authority, civil obedience and the supremacy and sacredness of the market system. We need to keep an eye on Abbott and Co concerning our education system here in Australia. Interesting enough Abbott has bowed to the pressure of hard right christian lobbyists in Australia and made it compulsory that secular psychologists and councilors no longer be employed in our state schools. Their function for our kids is to be replaced by Christian chaplains. I wonder why?
