I’m Surprised It Took This Long

Don’t let the Climate Cops get in your kids heads.

Can I be the only one more than a little disturbed by the latest campaign to be fronted by energy company npower?

Launched today with large colour ads in the Sundays, it appeals directly to children, urging them to enlist as “climate cops”, to root out “climate crimes“, and thus “save the planet”.

In a luridly-designed website, mimicking the style of “yoof” cartoons, it offers a bundle of downloads, including a pack of “climate crime cards“, urging its recruits to spy on families, friends and relatives, inviting each of them to build up a “climate crime case file” in order to help them ensure their putative criminals do not “commit those crimes again (or else)!”

So now the climate change fascists have finally gotten around to getting your children and your neighbor’s children to rat you out to the authorities.  Pretty soon the climate police in their black (fake) leather trench coats will be paying you a visit.  They’ll be whipping up a mob in front of your homes and businesses, rioting and destroying property.

It’s only because it is all about control.  Right now acts of property terror like slashing the tires on SUVs are pretty random.  I’m sure that will be changing in the next few years, where well organized groups start going out causing damage.  They’ll be ignored by police and populist politicians will point out that only the rich are affected.

Never trade your last remaining freedoms for the illusion of security.

Comments on the site show how insidious this stuff is becoming:

This is basically happening already in our US Schools. Middle School (Grades 6-8) teachers require, for a significant grade, that students document in essay or research paper how their families are “harming the earth” with certain practices at home. The lack of producing any harmful crimes in their project produces a failing grade.

The assignment conclusion requires a description how the student confronted their parents about the “earth violations”, and what they would do next if their parents did not repent and make the appropriate changes to their demands for change.

    Ok think back.. this is not NEW… when we (generation X folks) were in school, brain washing techniques like this were being worked on us too. I love when i catch old tv programs from the 70s and see the subliminals, from the commericals and other media…
    I will admit the techniques certainly have raised the bar considerably… they are more obvious then they ever were back when I was a kid… but they have been around since the Hippie Days…
    Damn Boomers!

    I see it now – Global Warming, the board game. It is a race to save the polar bears from drowning as their iceberg is being melted by evil corporations, cows, and cars….
