“A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system. In recent decades this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear, by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determinable cause cannot be assigned to each particular phenomenon.”

~ SO THERE’S A NEW— giant– Encyclical from the current Pope just released today, (partly) on The Environment.

Given who the Pope’s “climate” advisors were, we can rejoice that Laudate Sii is not much worse in that respect– parts of it are simply excellent, parts, predictable South American Liberation Theology. The MSM obviously cannot puzzle out the God bits, only the leading story elements.

Binky’s Red Pen

If I were editing it, I would have put the last sections (on God) right after the introduction, as primary theological (Papal) business; then, the crisis of sinful man with huge technical power as a theological problem, not to be solved by more power; then, the controversial bits, stated with a hugely balanced “some say, and yet others say” on the controversial global warming/ overpopulation/ evil oil/ giant supernational government thing. Then the prayers, stewardship, education thing.

Sadly, the “GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL” parts are as if Francis was blaming unicorns and robotic bananas for the problems of the world. They steal the thunder and cred from the rest– and the fact that the theological sections are waaaaay down near the bottom like an afterthought? Makes it look embarrassed about the things Catholics can all be certain of (God’s revealed truth & nature), versus the stuff in the early sections (environmental lunacy) which no Catholic can be certain of, because it’s all ideological global governance/ tax-grab fraud.

Allowed To Think?

Global warming, overpopulation, global government, energy issues– these are matters over which Catholics, Christians, and people of good will may legitimately differ, and in some cases, in which the Pope’s advisors were laughably one-sided and partisan, and failed in their duty to actually present a balanced view for the Pope to consider– this is typical progressivism, which can admit no plausibility or elements of truth in opposing views (even and especially if such views are based on better science).

Biased and wrong-headed Progressivism IS balance, right? No, it is not– in fact, progressive economics, science, and social engineering is notably based on lies, bad ideas, and time-tested failure.

In fact, it could be argued, that this move to use the Vatican as an overwhelming bullhorn to bulwark the failing panic-project of Global Warming/ Taxing/ Government is a sign that the truth about the weather is actually breaking through, and the ‘overwhelming consensus’ of scientists is actually not– most actual non-paid-for climate and related scientists do not believe in Global Warming.

Thus, the Pope is putting his spiritual authority on the line for scientific uncertainties; and alienating everyone (including most actual climate scientists) who dare not agree with horrible Warmists like effing Hans Joachim “Get Rid Of 6 Billions!” Schellnhuber and his apocalyptic ilk. Well done, then.

Needless Silly

It brings scandal and bias into the Pope’s teaching office, and fraudulently bad science is bad science, no matter who supports it. After all, things do not become true because this or any Pope says it– Popes and all of us must learn & believe in truth and true things because they are true.

The Pope has stuck his foot into a global war for global governance, global environmental and economic dictatorship, and a cull of the surplus population to a billion or even 500 million (10% rich powerful rulers, the rest their servants). Herr Schellnhuber and his allies at the U.N. (like would be global governor Christian Figueres) have big, big plans for you and me and the future.

Finally, In Concluded

Read the whole thing, ponder, pray, digest it, and where there is truth, rejoice and think and look around you at the way we use Mother Nature (and other people) as ‘resource’ to be exploited and consumed, and not as God’s property, of which we are the caretakers and keepers, until we hand it back to him when we are done our offices of stewarding.

And if in any of the above I am terribly, terribly wrong, or unfair, or partial, then show me (you know, facts, evidence, science, credible experts, non-skewed studies), and I will rewrite, with apologies. ~

What Binks Listens To….

UPDATE: Mr. Molyneux has recently shown himself to be a liar, fraud, and cultish nut-case. I oppose what he’s been up to, now that he has revealed his true colours.

Apologies for any time you’ve wasted because of this article.

A Not Entirely Foolish Philosopher

~ DESPITE HIS “I’m An Atheist™ Anarchist™” self-description, popular Canadian vlogger/ podcaster Stefan Molyneux is actually a mostly morally traditionalist and sensible commentator on many aspects of life, the current mess, and stuff and things.

Now, PLEASE don’t get him started on spanking or religion (or at least fast-forward those bits, cuz he goes loony), because the rest of his stuff arises from the entirely Western Christian moral tradition, a respect for reason and argument and the value of a classical liberal position, and the authority & knowledge that comes from a properly shaped conscience as our inward moral compass. That is, he’s smarter and instinctively wiser than some of his own ideas and alleged principles.

Worth checking out? His ‘The Truth About‘ series, tackling Marx, Ghandi, MLK and a host of other sainted liberals and radicals; anything on the debt-bomb in the heart of the West; taking on feminism and the sinless bias women are told to believe about themselves. Parenting, the media, lots of areas.

I could go on and on and on.

In the piece below, he wisely lays out exactly how most of us swarm obediently at the media & cultural bidding of our ruling cadres, usually not to our own benefit– reminding me of the very suspiciously-timed hit piece on Duck Dynasty, which entirely obscured the re-rape of American freedom & their Constitution via Obama’s passage of the new & eviller version of the NDAA. Is GQ writer Drew Magary in the White House ‘Media Manipulation’ rolodex? Might as well be.

Anyhow, might as well enjoy Mr. Molyneux as the West winds down and the various actors play the stage. He’s having none of it, being a philosopher who espouses virtue and wisdom and self-examination, like a modern-day half-wise Socrates. ~
