AL GORE - falling in his own "inconvenient truth" TRAP
printAL GORE - falling in his own "inconvenient truth" TRAP
Everything is alright. Sure, it is even all right, Al Gore got the Prize of Dynamite for his life work. All what he said, wrote and announced, during his lifetime, was and is totally correct. Al Gore is the one Hero of our times.
So what? Let's wake up and see what an Al Gore will never see.
A. Ecological blindness about systems got out of any control
I saw the film of Al Gore "The inconvenient truth" yesterday on ARTE. I must say that Al Gore is very impressive and not one word of the 2 hours presentation is false: It is true that humanity since 100 years warms up and spoils the thin atmosphere of the EARTH and the effect could be seen about since 1975. It is true that the water level on Oceans will get up and come over huge areas of land at shores. It is true that storms will be higher in intensity and dryness coming over lands, and water-floods, and super storms - we cannot yet imagine the power of all, now in the year 2008. And it is true that we all should wake up from a terrible dream of wrong security and silence and BE DOING SOMETHING about it.
My God! What a shame that this little wisdom has not yet entered any head of any child and adult on this planet because the downfall in ecology can from now on not be corrected with quadrillions of Dollars. Delavy says, not Al Gore.
And what does Al Gore pretend? Like Naomi Klein with Shock Finances, Jared Diamond with minor problems in environment, Susan George of attac with some "Better world is possible if ----" and all Krugman, Soros, Moore, Kagan, Huntington, Fukuyama and some other heroes of waking up too late in economy, Al Gore pretends that these problems can be resolved ---
if each person would buy another better car, get a little bit less with planes on voyages, would wrap up his old house to use a little bit less of oil and gas, if energy would be less spoiled with renewable methods of using restricted resources of the world. The Principle is right, however, the inconvenient truth about its effects deadly wrong.
Most of cars and planes and technological gadgets of the world should have been stopped completely in the year 1975, in order to prevent the present downfall of humanity in the Orcus of these days. The ecologic Earth is in its free fall - and politician Al Gore wanted to become U.S. President and was cunningly pushed away by the most stupid person on this Globe, with the help of right-wing judges, pushed by Republican Party of our forerunner in world's craziness, dear GW BUSH.
Would Al Gore have changed as U.S. President anything of the downfall of humanity? Forget it! He would not have attacked Iraq and Afghanistan and most probably a day 9/11 would never have occurred. And he would have signed Kyoto, and he would have got to all "scientific" congresses of blind scientists and told that we should drive a little less with cars and planes. --- And the world would have continued to be in free fall and going before the dogs, the year 2100 being still to come.
B. Politics - Blindness about "high" importance of Choice Obama or McCain
The most important thing today is not, if GW Bush, the Craze, or Al Gore, the fine character, would rule our Rough State, USA. We have now other blind Willie McTells, wanting to rule the world with hegemony, greatest armies on the planet in its Milky Way, wanting to make again function dear old Wall Street for future times: Obama and McCain-Palin. And at the time I am writing these lines, I don't know yet who will win.
However, where were the High Bells of Al Gore about rotten U.S. POLITICS that made the world as it is, with a terribly system of killing our Planet with an incredible speed and not to be corrected, with CASH, when 7 or soon 10 billion people try to stay at life, when it needed TODAY some 3 or 4 Planets like the EARTH to make all of us survive?
Learn this: It does not make any difference if USA are governed by a guy like Obama, Bush, Merkel, Berlusconi, McCain, Palin, Pinochet, Laden of Greenspan. When the systems have gone out of any control and 99,99 percent of Humanity just thinks about his personal fear to get in unemployment, or of having no social or health care, seeing old age funds in free fall, no nourishment or fuel for his 5 cars for tomorrow - without understanding, like AL GORE, that this all is "piecemeal of reality" without any commonsense - then we do not need any wisdom of some odd Dynamite Prize holders who - like the rest of "scientists" being honoured in Stockholm or Oslo since 1900 - will never get in what world we are living just NOW.
What we need is to wake up out of a terrifyingly false dream of feasibility, in politics, ecology, economics and culture. And this waking up can only be achieved through horrible COLLAPSES of Systems, as we can now see since some months for example with Wall Street, creating the final breakdown of CAPITALISM and GLOBALISATION.
C. Economics - Complete blindness about theorems of ZERO value
Where was Al Gore, when I wrote all those letters about the coming collapses of our financial and economic systems, based on theorems of economics since Adam Smith over Keynes, von Hayek, down to Popper and Friedman, later known as "Neo-Liberalism"? Where was Al Gore? He was writing and preaching about piecemeal problems with heating up the Earth in a very thin area called atmosphere.
This is no little achievement - but it is without real effects and lots of inconvenient truths. Fact is: Any little child could have been able to foresee the coming breakdown of Casino-Banks Economics of craziness and blindness. Al Gore and the U.S. Congress did not need Sub-Prime Junk to make this crazy system tumble, not even leverage stupidity with derivatives applied by HEDGE FUNDS.
Forget Sub-Prime: Any sort of effects in the finance business or "real industry" could have arranged a start to collapse of ECONOMY, be it by lack of oil or gas, food, oceans turning in poison, rivers not delivering clear water, dryness making kill millions of people in India, China, Africa, resources becoming unpayable or better say priceless for Middle Class, when poverty is exploding worldwide and for good and all rest of Times. And all this is based on wrong THEOREMS of economics, not feasible with more than 6 billion people and ecological disaster just happening NOW.
And we still guess that some higher stupids as Al Gore, GW Bush, Obama or Palin would rule our world better??
It is Al Gore himself in his Film "The inconvenient Truth" telling us, that the relative slowness in our minds, of what is going on, makes us blind about the real extent of the Downfall of Humanity on the basis of present System Collapses. Well, the very inconvenient truth is: It blinds also dear cheerful Al Gore and his adepts.
D. Philosophy - Humans including Al Gore got nothing yet
The reason for all this to happen, the breakdown of systems, the collapses in ecology, economics, politics, culture, media, literature etc. has one good reason:
We could have had 1000 different lines of PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION, Culture, ways of life and thinking. But we had the one of Plato over Kant, Nietzsche, U.S. Pragmatists down to existentialistic Sartre or deconstructive Derrida. And here comes the result of that philosophy of the last 2500 years:
"Humans are all, the real GODS on Earth --- and the platform of living, the Earth itself, is pure junk to be used up slowly and for good----"
And Al Gore presented no corrective to this deadly theorem of feasibility, as preached by 100 percent of scientists, may they get a Dynamite Prize or not, 100 percent of politicians, may they present their stupidity at G-8 of WEF congresses, 100 percent of culture writers of no value - as well as our Murdoch responsible zeroes, in all MEDIA on this Globe.
Under these conditions: WHAT COULD HUMANITY EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE COMPLETE DOWNFALL OF CIVILISATION - SOME GIVEN DAY?
Well, well, well - this day has come, about 1975, when it became far too obvious that our life style - not only with heating up some oceans and atmosphere, would end in a worldwide disaster that will no longer be cured by our politicians and scientists - and for sure not with CASH, and should we dispose of quadrillions of Dollars.
I stop here, because my writing since 1975 with "CHAOS", "Power x Stupidity = Self destruction" and "Orakel 2099" and "PLADESNIEKANT" did not deploy any effects and were kept away, as mentioned here, by this very systems of liars and highest stupidity, with power, from the German book market.
I always said that the price for this will be horrible. And it is. And the residual humanity will, when all this Al Gore Junk is through, so I hope, understand, looking from the FUTURE on the present "PAST" of the years around 2000, why it happened - and that it must have happened, exactly as written here and not noticed by any Media, except some woken-up persons, who may guess, if God wishes, what they were reading just NOW.
