George Orwell and 1984: How Freedom Dies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37N0aFmO19o
Huxley, the author of Brave new world noted that the masses would willingly exchange freedom for “sensory pleasure and endless consumption”.
Does anybody recognize the parallels of that sentiment and the absolutely massive propaganda of the politicians and “news” cartel on the legalization of weed?
Leaving aside the opinions on good or evil, what is the purpose?
Tomorrow, in Calgary, is going to be marketing confab of weed producers, media cartel, politicians and justice industry on the bliss of smoking the casitas.

Get them mellow and you can tax them, control them, dictate to them and nobody gets upset, what’s not to like.
Neil Postman in a book “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” contrasted the ideas of Orwell and Huxley.
“What Orwell feared were those who would ban the books”.
Hmm ….. would that be in the same sense as limiting freedom of speech.
“What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book for there would be nobody that would want to read one ….”

WUWT readers may remember this story from last year, where Chris Turney, leader of the ill fated “ship of fools” Spirit of Mawson expedition that go stuck in Antarctic sea ice said: “Penguins Don’t Migrate, they’re dying!” and of course blamed the dreaded “climate change” as the reason. Of course three days later, Discover Magazine ran an article that suggested Turney was full of Penguin Poop.

“A Hidden Metropolis of 1.5 Million Penguins Has Been Discovered Thriving Out of Humanity’s Reach
One of the most remote places on Earth.”
“Scientists have discovered a previously unknown ‘supercolony’ of Adélie penguins, hidden in plain sight on Antarctica’s remote Danger Islands.
There are more than 750,000 pairs of penguins living on the islands – 1.5 million animals in total – which is more than the rest of the Antarctic Peninsula combined.
Not only is this an incredible reminder that we still have so much yet to uncover about the planet we live in, it also provides scientists with hope. Up until now, there were fears the penguin species was declining rapidly due to climate change.
What’s crazy is that before this, no one really thought the remote rocky chain of islands off the Antarctic Peninsula’s northwestern tip was home to penguins – let alone 1.5 million of them.
“Until recently, the Danger Islands weren’t known to be an important penguin habitat,” said Heather Lynch, an ecologist at Stony Brook University who was one of the senior authors on the study.

“Hendrick Avercamp
The Little Ice Age”
“The vibrant paintings of Hendrick Avercamp (1585–1634) transport us back to a time when Dutch waterways regularly froze in the cold of winter. In his landscapes, people young and old, rich and poor, share both the joy and the hardship of the Little Ice Age.
This climatic phenomenon, which peaked in the 17th and early 18th centuries, was characterized by extremely severe winters that arrived early and lasted well into spring. Avercamp’s earliest dated painting, from 1608, came after a winter in which temperatures averaged well below freezing.
Born in Amsterdam and presumably trained there, Avercamp spent most of his childhood and adult life in Kampen, a small city far removed from that artistic center.
His powers of observation may have been heightened by his disabilities—he was unable to speak and probably also unable to hear. He captured an astonishing range of human conditions and activities, from gentlemen playing colf on the ice, to children throwing snowballs, to gypsies telling fortunes.” https://www.nga.gov/features/slideshows/the-little-ice-age.html

Sad to hear of Ronnie Prophet’s passing. He was married to Saskatchewan’s own Glori-Anne Carriere – born in Gravelbourg. I had the pleasure of seeing them both perform in the Palm Springs area a couple of years ago at a Canadian Snowbirds Association gathering. They put on a great show to a very appreciative audience. RIP Ronnie.
