It does not matter what the scare is. It does not matter if the scare is true.
“No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.” ~ Christine Stewart, former Liberal Environment Minister in Canada
It matters that there is a scare so we can dispense justice. Doesn’t that sound like the ruling elite have another agenda that they are pursuing?
Apocalyptic scares are useful to certain elements of society.
Totalitarians. It provides an excuse to take over the world to better garner the resources of the world in the service of combatting the scare. We need to act NOW!
Media. Scares sell media products which attract advertisers who want a large audience.
Politicians. Who doesn’t want to be a hero and save the planet? Or redistribute wealth from poor taxpayer to rich crony while all the while promising unearned wealth for the poor. When you promise to rob Peter to pay Paul can you always depend on the support of Paul?
Scientists. They are paid to investigate and document the scare. This provides justification for the actions of political totalitarians. In the scientific reports to the politicians the problem is always worse than it seems.
"It is no secret that a lot of climate-change research is subject to opinion, that climate models sometimes disagree even on the signs of the future changes (e.g. drier vs. wetter future climate). The problem is, only sensational exaggeration makes the kind of story that will get politicians’ — and readers’ — attention. So, yes, climate scientists might exaggerate, but in today’s world, this is the only way to assure any political action and thus more federal financing to reduce the scientific uncertainty." ~ Monika Kopacz, atmospheric scientist
Businesses who will benefit from providing solutions to the ‘problem’.
The ‘scare’ builds momentum from all these disparate constituencies. The solutions proposed become unstoppable regardless of their efficacy. The people who lose are the taxpayer whose resources are taken to fight the ‘problem’ and the citizen whose rights disappear under further encroachment by the state into their daily lives.
Control freaks gain more control and a search for the next ‘problem’ begins.
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose." ~ Club of Rome
And that is how the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. It is not poor people who make up the scams scares.
As the scare takes on a life of its own the voices of reason are always present but ignored in the rush to ‘save the planet’. that doesn’t need saving. It is a ruse that will continue to be used as long as it is useful to aggrandize more power for the powers that be. The goal is control.
"The desire to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it" -- H L Mencken
Have the totalitarians among us taken into account that they will need to become ever more brutal to continue their journey as resistance from the victims mounts? Totalitarians see no victims only unreasonable evil opposition who need to be crushed. Their own evil will escape them, hidden within their imagined cocoon of moral superiority, perhaps even baffled by the refusal of dissidents to accept it. Dissidents hence become evil opponents of the righteous and brutality makes its appearance upon the totalitarian stage.
Rule by ruse will by necessity devolve into rule by brutes. Are false scares leading us there?
