Disease, Destruction, Defrosting: Fearmongering of All Sorts

The government exists solely to perpetuate and increase its own power, control and influence. It accomplishes this through the continual delusion of the populace; convincing every individual that the world is riddled with countless threats, that each day careens to the brink of apocalypse, and that it is only with the protective hand of government that our lives are spared from certain doom. The powers that be impose upon the masses a STATE OF FEAR in order to ensure our allegiance, control our concerns, and maintain a predictable, orderly society. Such is the hidden intent of our current enemy: Global Warming.
The smallest bit of private research will yield thousands of absolute FACTS that directly contradict the outlandish claims of politicians, the media, and fearmongerers of all sorts; this information is readily available and need not be detailed here. What needs to be discussed is why there is no reason to fear, and why the rest of the world should see this “problem” as a flagrant piece of subjugating propaganda, a fabrication, and a string of outright lies that Big Brother would envy for its sinister genius.
To put it briefly, even if the “problem” is truly manmade, and it is indeed human carelessness that hastens us to a fiery demise, then why have we not curbed the predicament already? The technology currently exists and has existed for decades that can liberate our over-industrialized world from dependence on noxious fuels, and yet we continue to allow greedy oil executives (and greedier politicians) to “pollute” our atmosphere with countless cubic tons of carbon emissions. In the meantime, we normal citizens are told that putting up a clothesline instead of using an automatic dryer will save the planet. To quote the pithy John Stossel: “Give me a break!”. Further, most constituents of the baby-boomer generation with even a fading hindsight will remember being warned of “global cooling”, another unseen and unfounded phenomena that threatened to plunge the globe into a second ice age (see link at bottom of page). But why doesn’t anyone seem to notice? It seems the immediacy of fear always blinds the eyes of equanimity and logic, as evidenced by the episodic pandemonium that has defined the United States’ history: Communism, atomic holocaust, drugs, bird flu, terrorism, and global warming. The government and media (in concert) define our fears until they themselves fear the populace will “move on” and realize that the impending catastrophe is likely to never occur. The result is the pandemonium of authority, in which the officials and executives detect the populace’s growing sense of optimism and self-reliance - the people stop clinging fearfully to their remotes, viewership declines, and fascism fizzles in a proud hurrah of enlightened confidence. As a result, the government continues its juggling act, replacing the previous threat with another, this one far more horrific than anyone could possibly imagine. The process is so formulaic it borders on self-incrimination, but our leadership is evolving to counter any threat of skepticism. Gone are the days when America chooses adversaries that can be extinguished with legislation, diplomacy, or even war. Nowadays we fight immortal and intangible foes, like anti-Americanism, terror, and, yes, even our own planet Earth. And what are our weapons? Why, government-run organizations of course! Agencies, departments, commisions, and coalitions all fighting valiantly against imaginary problems, and failing miserably. The government pours hundreds of billions of dollars into organizations that are incompetent, unhelpful, counterproductive, and thus self-sustaining. Their blunders ensure that the “problems” are never actually solved, and in turn secure hundreds of billions more wasted dollars. This is the role of our leadership. This is the state of fear.
