The Grip of Culture: The Social Psychology of Climate Catastrophism • Watts Up With That?
This ground breaking book overturns the existing literature, developing a powerful new model of public attitudes based on the interaction of traditional religion and a new culture – a new faith – of climate catastrophism, which is instinctively accepted or rejected. At its centre is a series of measurements of public opinion, culled from major international polls, which make a strong case that society is now in the grip of a major new religion. That case is made still more powerful because the model is able to predict real-world outcomes, such as the deployment of renewables and the prevalence of climate protest groups in different countries.
The book ends with a warning. Cultures can bind societies together and cause great civilisations to grow and prosper. But they can also lead them to disaster. If society is truly in the grip of a new cultural entity, we should be very concerned.”

April 19, 2023: "Barbie and Ken – infantilization for the masses" "The woke Hollywood publicity machine is cranked up to hypersonic to promote a return to childhood... The plot is secondary to the underlying socio-political production ethos of the film.…
"Mattel and Disney are two enormous corporations that would seem to stand for everything these directors are – or should be – in opposition to. To anyone observing the state of cinema in 2023, it should be a point of utmost clarity that the might of these megabucks companies can do nothing but crush the smaller people. A recent article about Barbie in the New Yorker quoted no less a figure than Gerwig’s own agent as saying: “Is it a great thing that our great creative actors and film-makers live in a world where you can only take giant swings around consumer content and mass-produced products? I don’t know. But it is the business.” You don’t say.
Why has the concept of selling out lost so much of its cultural capital today? Online, you can hardly move for defenders of these directors, belligerently vaunting the fact that – for instance – Gerwig was influenced by directors such as Max Ophüls and Jacques Tati, as if that confers greater legitimacy on a film using IP (intellectual property) to make money for a toy company that sells vacuous, hypersexualised dolls. There’s a parallel here: the idea of Barbie dolls being in any way noxious seems, in the current climate, to be as hopelessly stick-in-the-mud a stance as the concept of selling out. The thought appears to be: look, the bad guys won, so we should all go along with it; since we’re all hypersexualised anyway, we might as well do it in a more egalitarian fashion; since the big corporations rule everything now, we might as well get people with a bit of artistic nous to be the face of their product."

"Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which hits theaters on Friday, is expected by some box office analysts to gross $140 million. The film is the first of Mattel’s new cinematic universe, which already has at least 45 new film adaptions of the company’s iconic toys in development, including a live-action Hot Wheels movie from JJ Abrams and a Barney film geared towards adults that one producer said will lean into “millennial angst.” The company’s goal, Kreiz said, is to become a “talent-magnet,” attracting top-notch creatives to amplify the brand.
Kreiz clarified that Mattel does not fund its movies. Rather, its currency lies with its IP and “marketing expertise,” he said, adding that the company does have a hand in the film’s business side.
“Barbie” had an enormous marketing campaign, with more than a hundred brands — including Bloomingdale’s, Kohl’s, Crocs and Gap — forging deals with Mattel to sell Barbie-themed merchandise...
Kreiz lauded Gerwig for creating a film that takes the iconic Barbie brand and makes it “relevant to everyone.”

Please read and think about this. Can you think of a legitimate reason for introducing CBDCs?
The notion that it’s faster is irrelevant. First, most payments already fast. Most of my online payments are instantaneous or nearly so. Next, even when payments are processed overnight, does a root & branch alternative banking system, affording private interests potentially to interfere with your right to transact, make sense?
I don’t think so.

How did medical science become so unethical, so corrupt?
injection deception...
a century of MEDICAL CORRUPTION 8minutes:
https://odysee.com/@FreedomTirade:f/injection:2d?r
Doctors, like the Pompous David Lloyd UK GP who were paid to push the COVID deceptions in contravention of the Nuremberg code and Hippocratic oath are either willfully blind or maliciously complicit .
Anyone "following the science" for the past few years has been duped.
We were warned more than a century ago that "contagion" theory emanating out of germ theory was being hyperbolised for political gain.
Now, is it too late?
Despite this warning, 'COVID' happened because 90% of doctors lost the ability to think critically beyond spoon-fed 'fact' loops borne out of scientific fraud.

James Delingpole routinely invites with views strongly divergent from official policy.
I became aware of Brian Gerrish only during the Covid “pandemic” fraud. He’s a Co-founder of U.K. Column & routinely presents the “News” program released three times a week.
Brian learned about a secretive organisation in Britain, called Common Purpose, a charity. Apparently, this is the local vehicle used to select & train leaders of the future, who will participate in bringing about a Great Reset & One World Government.
More is found at www.cpexposed.com
Note also the “RAINS list”, a listing of those in U.K. who are confirmed as involved in ritual abuse, some of it involving children & in some cases, extending to ritual killing,
Note that at 2 minutes before the end of this fascinating interview, the importance of prayer and of the psalms to fend off evil is mentioned.
“That’s why official discouragement of public prayer in particular is being pursued. Prayer is particularly toxic to the power behind the front that is Westminster politics. Psalms too offer protection against intercession by evil entities” (at which point, James Delingpole recited part of Psalm 23).
Brian Gerrish counselled those of us who are fully immersed in the spiritual battle that is ongoing across the world, publicly expressed as “Pandemic preparedness plans & countermeasures”, to regularly take deliberate action to refresh ourselves by doing things we like or love.

"HEATWAVE" SCAM EXPOSED:
EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY USES LAND TEMPERATURES CLAIMING AIR TEMPERATURES!
"The hysteria was started when climate sensationalist media outlets in Germany and elsewhere, like the Relotius Spiegel, uncritically cited a sloppily and manipulatively formulated July 13 report from the European Space Agency (ESA), that first referred to “air” temperature:
"Temperatures are sizzling across Europe this week amid an intense and prolonged period of heat. And it’s only just begun. Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland are all facing a major heatwave with air temperatures expected to climb to 48°C on the islands of Sicily and Sardinia – potentially the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe.”
The original ESA report continued, only later specifying that it was in fact referring to surface temperature (emphasis added):
"The animation below uses data from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission’s radiometer instrument and shows the land surface temperature across Italy between 9 and 10 July. As the image clearly shows, in some cities the surface of the land exceeded 45°C, including Rome, Naples, Taranto and Foggia. Along the east slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, many temperatures were recorded as over 50°C.”
Meant here were not the standard temperatures recorded at 2 meters above ground level that we always here in daily weather reports, which are much cooler, but rather those right at the ground surface. That crucial difference went totally unnoticed by media and journalists, who reported of new record high temperatures. By the time the ploy was exposed by careful readers, the news had already gone around the world.
Yesterday, the ESA issued a (vague) clarification explaining the difference between surface and air temperature at 2 meters above ground, yet continued to mislead:
"Land surface temperature is how hot the ‘surface’ of Earth feels to the touch. Air temperature, given in our daily weather forecasts, is a measure of how hot the air is above the ground.”
The ESA did not bother to mention how the surface temperature is much hotter than the 2 meter air temperature."

This is rather shocking but is endorsed by U.K. Column as a real resource, underwritten in each case by the person who created it, requiring three independent sources implicating a named individual.
I can’t think of a more degenerate activity, yet this resource goes some way to explaining how it is that there have been no true whistleblowers.
I had suspected that this effect lay behind the activities of Jeffrey Epstein, that is, obtaining compromising materials on politicians and influential people in order to obtain & maintain absolute loyalty to the cause (NWO).
This long narrated listing contains upsetting commentary.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY Jr on RFK:
"My father told me when I was a little boy that people in authority lie and the job in a democracy is to remain skeptical. I've been science-based since I was a kid. Show me the evidence and I'll believe you, but I'm not going to take the word of official narratives.
The way you do research is not by asking authoritative figures what they think. Trusting experts is not a feature of science, and it's not a feature of democracy. It's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.
Real liberals don't censor, and he (Biden) has been promoting censorship from the White House. He's been working with social-media companies to silence his critics, including me.
Our rights are under assault:
Freedom of speech; though it's harder to censor me now that I'm running for president. Freedom of worship; they closed churches for a year. Freedom of assembly; they created social distancing. Private property rights; they closed 3.3 million businesses without due process or just compensation. They also shut down the Seventh Amendment right to jury trials."

Now it's not only that people in authority lie, but it's also that people in authority are lied to by other people in authority, who are lied to by people in higher authority than them, and the lies became pervasive in all institutions and power structures, until the circus of lies becomes unstoppable.
That is where you and I come into the equation. The pivot to truth needs to involve all of us, it's great that we have people like Robert Kennedy Jr finally speaking truth in the halls of pervasive lies, but we all have to play our part in this, in any way we can. The simplest way is to simply keep speaking the truth, regardless of the consequences. If enough of us do that, the lies will have to stop there.
As Solzhenitsyn said, the mark of a courageous man is not to take part in the lie. But we must go further. We must participate in the truth. We must speak the truth, at all times, in all situations.
