They hype up normal shit and downplay dangerous shit.
Hyped up list:
-Eclipse
-exercise
-Sun exposure
-crime (even though rates are down)
-illegal immigration (borders were always wide open)
-Russia, Iran, etc
-nuclear war (as if the predator class would allow "their" planet to be fucked up)
They downplay:
-sudden deaths, turbo cancers, neurological issues, and strokes from the clot shots
-the toxic shit like glysophate in our food
-toxic fluoride added to our water for no real benefit
-toxic drugs like SSRIs and statins
We are in the sequel of 1984, where people stupidly trusted their shitty leaders and bosses for decades and now heading towards a time where people make up their own minds and the shit heads scramble to regain the trust they never earned in the first place!
People are not as stupid as they thought they were:
I've been rather down lately,letting the negativity get to me about everything. Then yesterday I put my back out and then heard that a much loved relative took a turn and is soon to depart this realm. I woke up today looking to see the positive in things and turn it around. You have verymuch helped, cheers Rob
And so, I'm sure, has every generation since Adam.
But the sky has not *yet* fallen.
The advent of the electronic age did provide the doomsayers with more powerful tools. Tools to preach their never ending message of gloom and woe. And to turn every newscast, every weather forecast, into auguries of imminent disaster. Every little dump of snow is the "worst storm in recorded history". Every hot summer is not only the "the hottest, driest in history", but is "proof" of climate change - as defined this week. Power outages are also "proof" of pick-your-climate-boogie-man - rather than hard evidence of poor planning, sheer incompetence, or perhaps, for my fellow tinfoil hat aficionados, part of a sustained effort to eliminate the middle class.
I remember well the so-called "air raid practice", when we scared and confused third graders were taught to crouch under our school desks to shelter from the atom bombs. (And I remember my mother's comments re the probable efficacy. Mum lived through the blitz - on a farm just south of London! Direct V-2 hit on the neighbour's pig pen!)
Governments come and go. Empires rise and fall. Every generation has it's clique of rulers. Kings and queens, First Secretaries, Supreme Dictators or Prime Ministers seize power - and are overthrown - or simply fade into oblivion. Sadly, the "American experiment" seems to have run it's course. It is highly unlikely my great grandkids will experience the freedoms I took for granted in my misspent youth. Nor are they likely to enjoy the wealth we so casually took for granted.
But I've spent thirty years attempting to prepare them to survive in the world we have bequeathed to them. Which is all I can do.

"Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!"
For almost eighty years I have heard the refrain.
So did my Grandfather, (born in 1892).
And HIS Grandfather, (born in the 1830's)
And so, I'm sure, has every generation since Adam.
