Fear Mongering // Current TV

DOES SIZE REALLY MATTER? Conservatives have Larger "fear center" in the brain.

Have you ever wondered why, beyond just shaking your head and thinking “what assholes” do Conservative Republicans always use fear mongering tactics and multiple warnings of looming threats to get their “point” across the American people?
Conservative Republicans have long used looming threats such as war, economic collapse, class warfare, social disintegration, illegal immigration to name just a few to frighten people into “seeing” things their way and trying to get them to vote for them. They use this as a wedge to promote themselves as the best candidate for the job of “protecting” America.
There is now scientific evidence that shows a discovery of a clear correlation between the size of certain brain parts and political views. There is evidence that beginning to accumulate that figuring out a person’s political proclivities may soon be as easy as a brain scan or even a DNA test. ( See study published in October 2011, by researchers at Harvard and UC-San Diego re: the DRD4 gene for a liberal predisposition). Conservative brains have larger amygdales than the brains of liberals. Amygdales are responsible for fear and other “primitive” emotions. At the same time, conservatives’ brains were also found to have smaller anterior cingulated which is the part of the brain responsible for courage and optimism.

Another aspect is the following article I read that while it may be tongue in cheek, it hits the proverbial nail right on the head about “A New Study Reveals That Stupidity Can Make You Conservative and Racist.” The link is www.politicususa.com/conservatism-stupidity-racism. What I found so fascinating …and disturbing in this article is the use of their alleged religious beliefs by exploiting lower IQ individuals by appealing to their racism and fear of the “other”. Also noted in the article is that these are not the New Testament Christians love your neighbor type of Christians; these are the Christians who pray for President Obama to die and leave his wife and children fatherless (see Psalm 109). Also noted in this article is where radio host Alan Colmes got a pastor (Drake) to admit on the radio that he was indeed, doing just that. The article is quite informative as to how the vultures will and do prey upon those with a lesser IQ than average and the tactics they use. They also point out and coin a phrase of Sara Palin being the “alpha-ignorant”. Have a read, it has much more information.
Now, from the article at rawstory, I learn more scientific evidence that this study could give us “the first medical reason for why conservatives tend to be more receptive to threats of terrorism, for example, than liberals. And it may help explain why conservatives like to plan based on the worst-case scenario, while liberals tend towards rosier outlook. “
What I took away from these articles is that it is almost virtually impossible to ever have a discussion with a hard core conservative and get them to see reason and our liberal point of view That is a medical fact, but to me it makes me think of the phrase they like to use against people (One of my own pet peeves) and say you can,( but in fact you cannot) “pray away the gay”. We are all born this way. I just happen to like how I was born and how many of my friends and family were also. I am grateful that bigger….is not…..always better.Have you ever wondered why, beyond just shaking your head and thinking “what... more

Elite Eugenicists Call For Mass Depopulation, Drastic Reduction In Energy Consumption

Royal Society study yields unsurprising results, Ecoscience co-author calls for “move to population shrinkage as humanely and as rapidly as possible”

The Royal Society, an organisation made up of renowned eco-fascists and depopulation fanatics, has released a “major report” calling for the “stabilization” of global population and reductions in consumption in developed countries.

The report is the unsurprising result of a 21 month “objective” study on human population growth and its implications for social and economic development.

“The number of people living on the planet has never been higher, their levels of consumption are unprecedented and vast changes are taking place in the environment. We can choose to rebalance the use of resources to a more egalitarian pattern of consumption … or we can choose to do nothing and to drift into a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills leading to a more unequal and inhospitable future”, the report reads.

The report also claims that developing countries will have to build the equivalent of a city of a million people every five days from now to 2050 in order to cope with the rate of population increase .

“In material terms it will be necessary for most developed countries to abstain from certain sorts of consumption, such as CO2,” said Jules Pretty who was on the Royal Society working group.

The study argues that there should be a demand to “reduce fertility” in poorer nations, particularly in Africa.

The Royal Society has also conducted extensive research into geoengineering the planet to manipulate its climate, and continually lobbies the government to divert funding into the area. The UK government recently published a lengthy report on geoengineering, drawing heavily on Royal Society research. The report proposed methods including spraying sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to mimic the cooling effect produced by volcanic eruptions, as well as placing mirrors in space to reflect the Sun’s rays away from the Earth, a technique known as Solar Radiation Management (SRM).

The same talking points raised by the Society have been re-iterated again and again by public policy groups and environmentalists, as well as the most influential scientists in the US government.

While you and I may think the notions of sterilization and depopulation could never be accepted by the public, those very concepts are now being embraced and popularized as the way forward for humanity.

Exclusive:Man Made Global Warming a Farce! Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Who Endorsed Obama Resigns!

Nobel Laureate Dr. Ivar Giaever: 'The temperature (of the Earth) has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period.'

Giaever was also one of more than 100 co-signers in a March 30, 2009 letter to President Obama that was critical of his stance on global warming. See: More than 100 scientists rebuke Obama as 'simply incorrect' on global warming: 'We, the undersigned scientists, maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated'.
Nobel prize winner for physics in 1973 Dr. Ivar Giaever resigned as a Fellow from the American Physical Society (APS) on September 13, 2011 in disgust over the group's promotion of man-made global warming fears. Climate Depot has obtained the exclusive email Giaever sent titled "I resign from APS" to APS Executive Officer Kate Kirby to announce his formal resignation.

Dr. Giaever wrote to Kirby of APS: “Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I cannot live with the (APS) statement below (on global warming): APS: 'The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.'

Giaever announced his resignation from APS was due to the group's belief in man-made global warming fears. Giaever explained in his email to APS: "In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period."

Giaever was one of President Obama's key scientific supporters in 2008. Giaever joined over 70 Nobel Science Laureates in endorse Obama in an October 29, 2008 open letter. In addition to Giaever, other prominent scientists have resigned from APS over its stance on man-made global warming. See: Prominent Physicist Hal Lewis Resigns from APS: 'Climategate was a fraud on a scale I have never seen...Effect on APS position: None. None at all. This is not science'

Giaever, a former professor at the School of Engineering and School of Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has become a vocal dissenter from the alleged “consensus” regarding man-made climate fears. He was featured prominently in the 2009 U.S. Senate Report of (then) Over 700 Dissenting International Scientists from Man-made global warming. Giaever, who is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and won the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physics.
