- We must never forget that former Vice-President Al Gore's
2000 Gore-Lieberman campaign was the midwife of the Bush-Cheney Presidency.
-
- The issue to be considered here is no mere difference
of policy. The issue is existential. At issue is a choice between one policy,
under whose influence our civilization would soon cease to exist, that
of Gore's policy, against the directly opposite choice of policy required,
if civilization is to continue to exist during the immediately foreseeable
future.
-
- Let us now proceed in the confidence that the issue treated
here is of no lesser importance than just that.
-
- Essentially, after Al Gore's marbles are counted, his
recent Hollywood, pulp-science-fiction-style production, on the theme of
"Global Warming," is, obviously, a fraud designed by someone.
Whoever that someone was, Al's fraud was done, apparently, for the pleasure
of what were, obviously, swindlers, and has served to titillate many among
our nation's, and others' current crop of the more excitably credulous,
middle-class "bio-fools."
-
- Stated for the record, the essentials of the relevant
scientific evidence against Gore's latest version of the "Global Warming"
hoax, are adequately summarized, in the weekly Executive Intelligence Review's
March 2, 2007 edition.[1]
Some people, no doubt, will also see the ironical hand of Mother Nature
(no Hard Gore Luddite herself) in the great winter storm which chose to
wrack entire regions of North America, at just the time that Gore's off-season
Hollywood Hallowe'en party was being staged. Since those of us whose attention
is focused more intently upon the actual dynamics of the U.S. political
landscape, have never considered Al Gore the brightest bulb in the cloakroom,
the question for us, is: who is using the notoriously mean, dumb, and clearly
fat-headed Al "Ozymandias" Gore, again, and why, this time, in
this way? [2]
-
- However, our duty in this matter does not end there.
In addition to the first issue, the evidence that Gore's package itself
is a hoax, there are two elements of scientific method which must be addressed,
if the larger, much more crucial issues involved are to be settled.
-
- Second on the list of three, is the larger scientific
issue: Gore's fraud aside, what are the considerations which actually govern
the principal features of the Earth's cycles of alternate warming and cooling?
What about the pattern of recent intensification of Solar radiation hitting
the Earth? Does this year's early report from Denmark on the role of cosmic
rays, answer the question, at least in significant part? [3]
If so, what is the relationship to the earlier indications of the concentration
of cosmic rays received from the area of the Crab Nebula?
-
- Or, what about the movement of population out of traditional
family-farm agriculture and productive employment in industry, into the
ruin of a so-called "post-industrial society," all of which post-1968
trends of change away from a science-driver, agro-industrial economy, have
had pernicious effects on the environment which we manage and inhabit?
What about "Bio-Fuels," which are inherently energy-inefficient,
and which will, if continued, cause a generations-long ecological disaster,
and pro-genocidal food-crisis for our nation in particular, and the planet
as whole?
-
- Third on the same list, we have the principal subject
taken up in the body of this report: what is the actual strategic motive
for the continuing persistence of the promotion of the Kyoto hoax at this
particular time? This third point, is the crucial point addressed in this
present report.
-
- The case of Gore himself, is a simple one, in every sense
of the word. Whatever the intended implications of simple-minded Gore's
travesty, the motive for his being used in the way he has been used most
recently, takes us to much deeper political issues, as in the issues treated
in the body of this present report, after the immediately following, additional
prefatory remarks.
-
- Unfortunately, Al Gore is not the only fool of his type
among our republic's and Europe's political classes. Were he the only such
fool, we might treasure him, even despite his bad temper, vicious fits,
and silly Hallowe'en pranks, as we would value an endangered species of
Madagascan forest lemur.
-
- Unfortunately, Gore's type of so-called "Baby-Boomer"
generation of North America and western and central Europe, is not a lovably
rare species. It is a generation already represented by a great excess
of the modern Sophist types from among the so-called "68er" generation,
sometimes regarded justly as a "de-generation," born during the
1945-1956 interval: a species which proliferated between the close of World
War II and the culturally shocking advent of the 1957-1960 U.S. economic
recession. Therefore, we have that third point which I shall address in
this present report: I explain.
-
- On That Third Point
-
- It is most notable, on account of this third point, that,
today, those representatives of the professions of honest scientists and
political historians who were capable of seeing, truthfully, the future
actually embedded in the present, are those who, in the case of those nominally
considered scientists, are a precious minority of their profession, and,
who, among historians, appear to be almost a vanishing species.[4] When
compared to the school of American historians, for example, even into the
early parts of the post-World War II decades, the greater part of the currently
reigning "Sixty-Eighter white collar" political class, has shown
itself, with remarkable exceptions, as now, as a generation of the astonishingly
credulous, which avoids any actual knowledge of science, and yet expresses
opinions about science and its effects, which reveal either the influence
of the most evil man of the Twentieth Century, Bertrand Russell, or simply
a generation virtually incapable of thinking either historically or scientifically.
-
- This has been a persisting, increasing challenge in my
dealings with even some among my own associates who have expressed the
characteristic moral failing of the predominantly Sophist Baby-Boomer generation,
albeit on different issues than Gore's Luddite followers.[5]
In my experience, today's usual Baby Boomer refuses to recognize what is
happening to our nation, or even his, or her own generation. He or she
is therefore a member of what had been called, ironically, "the Now
Generation," the representative of a kind of species which recognizes
moral accountability to neither a predecessor generation, nor a follower.
It is a social stratum, unique to this interval of our national history,
which is relatively hostile to the generation of its own parents, and,
also, like the typical President George W. Bush, Jr., is blind to what
are, in fact, the essential interests of the present young and future adult
generations, and beyond.
-
- The typical representative of that Baby-Boomer type,
usually lacks even a semblance of the standard of comparison which the
history of ideas had provided to the able scholars, scientists, and strategists
of earlier generations. It might be said, that he, or she, as the "68er"
and former Vice-President Al Gore illustrate the type, is a Luddite fanatic,
or, if you prefer Classical references, an heir of the ancient, pro-Satanic,
Delphic cult of Dionysus.
-
- Therefore, those cases, like Gore, very rarely think
in terms of a successful period of history as a process of an emergence
of an added phase of the lawful evolution of human culture, to higher states
out of a preceding one. Rather, all too typically, cardboard, or wind-up-toy
personalities like Gore, think in terms of arbitrarily adopted "rules
of thumb," as merely current fads in styles of "fashions";
typically Sophists, they think in terms of opinions about opinions: Athens'
Pericles should blush. These are opinions which they tend to treat in a
more reckless and hostile disregard for discoveries of any actual notions
of principle, as this hostility to principle was expressed in the emergence
of even such cults of Sophistry as ancient followers of Euclid, or, a grim,
medieval Sophist variety of theologian among those of the Scholastic persuasion.[6]
-
- I encounter this same problem in the course of reviewing
the briefings produced among today's usual political figures, commentators,
and so forth. The relevant types to which I refer have few principles,
or even none; but, nonetheless, they produce an abundance of opinions,
and curious "assessments" of sets of alleged facts, such as momentary
opinions about the auspicious implications of an ephemeral item of news,
or the like.
-
- This pattern of behavior is typical of a stubborn persistence
of the kind of sophistry we might associate with today's typical representatives
of the Baby Boomers among North Americans, or those from western and central
Europe. Those types are reacting to their narrowly defined immediate experience,
but evade the reality of that process of those long waves of historical
change, within which merely current events and decisions are trapped, often
as passing exceptions.
-
- It is, in other words, as we read, in Plato, the report
of the ancient Egyptians, warning the ancient Greeks that "you have
no old men among you." Today's leading political classes, and most
others, too, rarely show any sense of an historical process as being anything
more than a kind of mechanistic-statistical system of percussive interactions,
interactions occurring chiefly within the confines of the local time of
a certain generation's hope of rising to political and related ascendancy.
They are Sophists, who think in terms of trend-lines in mere opinions,
not realities. Therefore, usually, their assessment of almost any situation
of significance, as in economic forecasting, is tragically wrong-headed,
and stubbornly so.
-
- So much for the unfortunate Gore and his sociological
type; the question is: Who is using him now, in that way, and why? The
answer is to be found within the realm of Riemannian dynamics.
