\u201cThis was sent to us from a college friend of XXX\u2019s but I think he has a valid point!<\/p>\n

___<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always doubted mankind\u2019s impact on the issue of<\/span>\u00a0climate change. After all, earth has had two ice ages that were followed by two warming cycles, all before humans left their caves. So, to me, the debate is whether there is a new natural, million year warming or cooling trend. If there is, there is nothing we can do about it. The following is a mixture of pictures and political comment on the matter [not included]. I am disappointed no one has followed the money and identified all those who gained notoriety, wealth, and power over the past 20 years of fear mongering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

I will begin by stating there are a growing number of people who have (and for some time) been following the \u2018money\u2019 and have uncovered growing manipulation by the \u2018elite\u2019 in a variety of areas and ways (it goes far beyond global warming\/climate change). G. Edward Griffin, for example, talks about this entire situation of environmental concerns being leveraged by the \u2018ruling class\u2019 to profit from in some detail at the end of his in-depth and biting critique of the U.S.\u2019s central banking system, the Federal Reserve, in\u00a0The Creature From Jekyll Island\u00a0<\/em>(1994) \u2014 given the world reserve currency status of the U.S. dollar, the Fed is perhaps the most pernicious institution currently on our planet, for it those who control the creation and distribution of \u2018money\u2019 that are amongst\u00a0the<\/strong>\u00a0most powerful on the planet.<\/p>\n

Most of those who have done this type of research, however, do not have the platform or finances for disseminating their ideas in the way that the mainstream media and\/or politicians do, and for the most part their concerns have been overwhelmed by the constant propaganda of the ruling class and suppressed (and increasingly so given the expanding calls for censorship amid accusations of \u2018fake news\/misinformation\u2019 by \u2018the-powers-that-be\u2019). I believe that\u2019s changing but the impediments to revealing those manipulating the dials behind the curtain are huge; and when one does throw light upon the dark corners of our elite, more often than not if the challengers of mainstream narratives cannot be ostracised or marginalised, they are increasingly ending up like Edward Snowden or Julian Assange.<\/p>\n

Regardless, here\u2019s my spin on things \u2018environmental\u2019 and the connection with those who would use them for profit.<\/p>\n
