notice it? Getting the facts right is crucial. And as David Mac points out, there's an un-admitted agenda behind the current - obviously orchestrated - 'Amazon burning!!!' panic; but do you really imagine it's about saving the forest? Really? That's what 'our leaders' are finally waking up to? That despicable bought-crew? Btw, when a PR orchestration is launched, not all its supporters are in the know. Consider George Monbiot's attitude towards Syria, for example. Do we think that the gics have bought him? Or just that he's joined the Western lie-fest band-waggon about that war because he's been suckered by it? George has a naivety-streak well wide enough for that to be the case. (And as Chomsky pointed out long ago: the intelligent, highly-educated people are usually the most avid swallowers of propaganda; Orwell characterised it vividly in his evocation of doublethink.) So it is, I fear, with plenty of sincere people who want to do something genuinely effective about the planet's Synergising Global Crises: Their desperate desire to stop the catastrophes (which I share unreservedly, 100%; but not to the point of fatal naivety) makes them easy marks for cynical perception manipulators, who don't actually care a damn about any of the causes they may help to manipulate - as long as they make short term 'profit' from it. That's the psychopathic gics (and their well-rewarded cynic-servitors in politics/media/PR) for you. That's why detailed awareness of relevant facts - as presented by Catte, if you'd bothered to read to the end - are crucial: to let you judge whether there's anything real about the latest panic, or whether it's just another sucker-push going on. The ultimate value, if any, of these panics is whether they lead to anything concretely-useful getting done to confront the Crises. So far, they don't seem to have had much if any palpable braking effect. But as to their short-term 'profitability' to some faction or other of the gic operators, such as David discusses, well, possibly more effective there - in their real, un-admitted purpose...?
