Godfrey Bloom Portrait

Welcome to my blog. An unprecedented democratic deficit is developing in the UK. Our interests are being ignored for the benefit of pointless and self-serving EU and environmental bureaucracies. On this blog I will be offering unfashionable arguments in favour of freedom and democracy, and against the dangerous eco-zealots' attack on our economy, jobs, and industry. Read more...

The £6 million Fairytale

In the debate about climate change, it is often said that us “deniers” are “well funded”. Cash from interested parties has been given to a few sceptics, who have managed to turn the entire political debate in our favour. That’s why Copenhagen failed to produce an agreement. That’s why Kyoto failed. That’s why even the countries who wanted a deal at Copenhagen continue to emit more CO2 than they did when they wanted the Kyoto protocol.

So it is a bit of a surprise to learn that the government’s climate change adverts – a concoction of lies, distortion, doom-saying, and guilt-tripping - cost the taxpayer six million quid. Here they are, if you had forgotten...

According to the Times, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7061162.ece

The ASA has ruled that the claims made in the newspaper adverts were not supported by solid science and has told the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) that they should not be published again.

So what would you do with £6 million?

What the government did with £6 million is to cast themselves as the heroic Prince Charming in the bedtime story. He saves the damsel in distress – the entire world.

But now that the ASA has rapped the government over the knuckles, it is clear that this expensive fantasy has left the government instead looking more like the evil monster it claimed it would vanquish.

That CO2 monster is kind of funny though, except of course the fact we have to pay for it and people are suffering where real shortages in public funds occur.

To me it says more about the minds of the lunatics that invent this sort of thing. They call themselves greens, they talk about science, but do they know their beloved vegetation is almost entirely made out of that CO2 monster?

In a way I’m glad they go this far because it does most to destroy their credibility, so in the long run we will survive, and they won’t get their trillions of pounds an dollars to set up their one world communist dictatorship. I mean that is what it said in the draft Copenhagen deal that was exposed by Lord Monckton. It kind of comes full circle in a way, for they are the monster, as were their Soviet predecessors.

Hmm, I wonder if we could add a caption to it about the benefits of carbon trading!

I’d also like to mention the correct name for what we see here. OK, it might be called education now, but it used to be called Agitprop. From Wikipedia we learn: -

Agitprop (pronounced /?æd??tpr?p/, from Russian ???????? [???t?prop]) is a portmanteau of agitation and propaganda.[1] The term originated in Bolshevist Russia (the future Soviet Union), where the term was a shortened form of ????? ???????? ? ?????????? (otdel agitatsii i propagandy), i.e., Department for Agitation and Propaganda, which was part of the Central and regional committees of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The department was later renamed Ideological Department.
The term propaganda in the Russian language did not bear any negative connotation at the time. It simply meant "dissemination of ideas". In the case of agitprop, the ideas to be disseminated were those of communism, including explanations of the policy of the Communist Party and the Soviet state. In other contexts, propaganda could mean dissemination of any kind of beneficial knowledge, e.g., of new methods in agriculture. Agitation meant urging people to do what Soviet leaders expected them to do; again, at various levels. In other words, propaganda was supposed to act on the mind, while agitation acted on emotions, although both usually went together, thus giving rise to the cliché "propaganda and agitation".
The term agitprop gave rise to agitprop theatre, a highly-politicized leftist theatre originated in Europe of 1920s-1930s and spread to America as well, with plays of Bertolt Brecht being a notable example.[2] Gradually the term agitprop came to describe any kind of leftist politicized art.

So there you have it in a nutshell. If anyone ever wondered where the greens got their ideas from and methods of conducting their campaigns, then it is clear for all to see that it is taken right out of history, word for word, letter by letter.

Notice that as it was yesterday, so it is today, regarding words. The word ‘propaganda’ was not negative at first, but then it was, and so they had to rename it ‘ideological’. We have the same with the greens, as in it used to be called global warming, then it became climate change and now it is AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming). Someone pointed out the other day the same phenomena in America regarding the term used for African immigrants. In that case I think the name was changed about 5-6 times over the course of the last 100 years. So the moral of the story is always beware of name changing. A name never needs to be changed with something popular. Perhaps one poignant reason for the shift to AGW was that people said “But the climate has always changed”.
