Wow, I hadn’t realised that denial was changed to dissent. To take the position that “global warming is a hoax” is equated to denial because there is a definite scientific consensuson the matter. I believe that most arguements in this context are just as disingenuous as your clever satire on american culture and it’s propensity for labelling things.

“Pathologising dissidents is not Orwellian. It’s a historical fact.”

You haven’t read the article, have you?

“Dissent,” as in rejecting the status quo; refusing to comply. And then - simply because you have the nerve to question them - being attacked as mentally unbalanced. THAT is Orwellian (or totalitarian) in every respect. It’s the methodology of dictatorships.

Indeed, the Global Warming Hoax. If it came to anyone’s attention that they have been lied to and that the elite actually know of the coming Ice Age, then maybe all the rest of the mountain of lies will come crashing down.

Does anyone really still believe anything that comes out of media, government or corporations? I think once the veil of lies is lifted, albeit too late, the world around the public will shift into enlightenment. Look at the president, whole hearted following the path to New World Order. He’s no different than Bush or Clinton. or any of the other president’s of the last century. I’ll admit Kennedy was a patriot, and I remember a quote.

“The rights of every man are diminished, when the rights of one man are threatened.”
-John F. Kennedy

PS
No. I’m not a scientologist. This thing doesn’t really exists in my country.

It’s a historical fact. I don’t know if you have taken into consideration those who suffer mental illness.
Thanks for keep on stigmatizing the mental illness; saying that they are stupid and all the current approach.
Do you know what DSM is causing to normal citizens?
Please, try to be more ethical.

Because of Dr paul Ehrlich (population bomb) I didn’t have any kiddies.Thanks Doc.Gave up hair spray too.At 57 I fear no tin can,have no guilt about riding in a car, and on a cold night would not hesitate to accept an environmentalists coat and might even take it,if their policies were to blame for my lack of protection.
