Alarmingly Alarming Alarms from the Alarmists

Someone pushed the big red covid alarm button and lots of people freaked out. Some people, typically governments and the media, have been bashing the big red climate alarm button until their metacarpals have poked out of the skin on the back of their hands. The precious new multi-gendered souls are all going to commit suicide if they’re misgendered, or they’re looking to leave their country of origin to avoid the forthcoming transpocalypse (anti-trans sentiment has been linked to ‘genocide’).

It happens on the ‘other side’ too. We’re all going to be controlled by puppet-master Schwab and the glittering human baubles of the WEFerati. The presence of more cocks under skirts is going to lead to the downfall of Western civilisation. We’ll be prevented from shopping if our social credit scores indicate we’ve indulged in too much wrongthink.

Catastrophising is sometimes fun, and definitely seems to be a characteristic of the human species. But what if any of it, even some parts of it, were true?

IF they’re right about a fast-approaching climate disaster, then that would warrant extreme measures and a degree of global coordination. IF, instead of covid, we’d had some proper disease with balls, then maybe the panic could have been acceptable. IF the WEF and associated Schwabicles are just the propaganda arm of some shady globalist cabal designed to seduce the intellectually-challenged and morally deficient crop of global leaders we currently ‘enjoy’, then we really ought to be worried.

So how the heck do we disentangle any kind of sense from all the alarms that are going off (whether they’re coming from the ‘left’ or the ‘right’) in our world of instant “information” and propaganda?

OK - this is VICE we’re talking about (the article can be found here) which stands for Vestigial Intelligence of Calamitous Eejits, but we’ve all seen the rise in ‘climate’ alarmism over the last decade. St Greta, Prophetess of Doom, is lauded as some kind of Swedish Gandhi - even to the point where I read that some company was making a sex doll in her likeness (disentangle the various threads of WTF in that one). I am fairly certain (although not 100% certain) that nobody has tried to create an actual Gandhi sex doll. Which would be worse I wonder?

Stop it RR - this trainwreck of a thought you’re on is not going to end well.

Anyway, back to more wholesome imagery, albeit no less alarming.

Ultimately, we all have to make our own judgements about what we think is most likely to be the ‘truth’, or as close to that ‘truth’ as we can get.

This requires us to learn stuff, to weigh up opposing viewpoints, and to decide for ourselves what makes the most sense, to us. And we have to accept that sometimes, maybe most of the time, we’re going to get it wrong. But to reject this basic dignity, to remove that fundamental right, to treat human beings as automatons to be moulded and shaped and coerced - that’s worse than some of us getting things wrong, even if it turns out that it’s most of the time.

One of the things I’ve noticed, rather too often, over the last 3 years is the attitude that ‘self-learning’ is somehow useless - that we should ‘trust the experts’ over some rando on the internet¹. The phrase “do your own research” was derided and ridiculed. You’ll also have noticed a rise in people asking for “peer-reviewed” sources, as if peer review was some stamp of authenticity and correctness - when it’s nothing of the sort. To use a technical term, ‘peer review’ essentially means fuck all.

Governments are getting in on this act, or maybe it might be more accurate to suggest that governments have instigated and promoted this new cultural pantomime. Who can forget the 2020 Horsewoman of the Year, Jacinda Ardern, as she grinned and smirked away telling us that her government was the “single source of truth”? The theatrics and amateur dramatics our leaders indulge in as they bemoan “misinformation” is quite entertaining - but we all know they are only concerned about losing the narrative - not with ‘truth’ in any objective sense.

Governments have diagnosed the problem - misinformation - and they’re taking steps to ‘cure’ us of it. I am of the following opinion, only slightly sarcastically portrayed in the following hypothetical vignette

Teachers : we’re finding our classes hard to control. The kids have so much energy.

Medics : drug the little fuckers. That should keep them quiet.

ADHD, my arse². Misinformation, my arse.

The problem is that governments seem to think of us as little fuckers who need to be controlled - and are quite willing to drug, inject, microchip, Digital ID, and social credit score us all into submission. All for the greater good³, you see.

There may be some who think this is too conspiratorial, but there’s plenty of evidence both current and historical, that they basically don’t give a shit about us. One word should suffice - Tuskegee - but there are many, many other words, other examples, one could use.

As we’ve seen with Pharma, with Pfizer having a decidedly chequered past when it comes to ‘integrity’ and ‘legality’ as just one example, leopards don’t change their spots - but they can get better at hiding them - and for up to 75 years in some cases.

I’ve started to read/watch a bit about climate stuff - just beginning to get a ‘feel’ for what the issues are. I’m 100% certain that the current ‘solutions’, like electric vehicles, or ‘green’ energy, are almost clinically insane - at least with current technology. I’m not even remotely convinced these efforts will make a significant impact on the problem, if the ‘problem’ as outlined by the media does, indeed, exist. The big IF again.

I watched some climate scientist make a very pertinent point. When faced with the statement that the world is getting warmer, he said, one should ask the question “since when?”. His point being that when the Vikings were doing all their raping and pillaging and plundering, the world was warmer than it is now (I think he said by 4 degrees, but that seems a bit high. Dunno.)

I now have the image in my head of a shipload of Vikings arriving at some suitable non-plundered location, jumping off their boat, axes and war-horns at the ready - and collapsing from climate-induced spontaneous sudden death.

It’s covid all over again (although the ‘climate’ hysteria has been going on longer) where I watched politicians and ‘experts’ make one stupid, stupid, statement after another with me thinking “is it possible they are this dumb?”

There seems to me to be only two possibilities here; (a) they actually are that dumb or (b) there’s another agenda. I suppose it could be both (a) and (b). The replacement of every private vehicle in the world with its electric ‘equivalent’ is off-the-scale loony tunes with extra psychotic jingles thrown in for good measure. Does anyone in their right mind think this is a viable solution with technology as it stands (or as it can reasonably be projected for the next few decades)?

And, if the climate ‘sceptics’ are correct, this is a ‘solution’ looking for a problem. It’s only a ‘solution’ (ignoring the limitations of the technology and infrastructure) if one thinks there’s a climate emergency to be addressed and that switching to electric cars will have any impact.

These are problems we have to wrestle with and to come to our own conclusions about - but all the indications are that we’re not going to be allowed to do that. They want to strip us of our cars, our meat, our heat, our AC, our mobility, our gas stoves, and they also want to strip you of the dignity of being able to express your own opinions.

We are like the kids with “ADHD” - they just want us little fuckers to sit in the corner and be quiet.

This is what we should really be alarmed about.

1. And, depending on the context, much of the time the ‘expert’ is going to be correct. I think the words of Dirac on quantum mechanics carry just the tiniest smidgeon more chance of being correct than the writings of Alfred Doodlesnark-Fugglenuts the third as he argues, again, that everyone got it wrong. Experts should be listened to - absolutely - but never just blindly ‘trusted’.

2. Appending ‘my arse’ to the end of a statement is a UK affliction meaning - “I disagree”. It’s disagreement with attitude. So if you want to express your opinion on masks, say, you might say “Masks, my arse” or “Masks work, my arse”.

3. They (the elites) are the ‘greater’ in this expression
