Clip: Rap News

I'm not usually a huge fan of rap, but this is one definite exception.

Juice Media's Rap News (an Aussie independent media source co-created by Jordan Ninni and Melbourne-based rapper Hugo Farrant) takes a broad "bigger picture" view of the major issues of the world, turns it into a clever rhyme, applies a head-nodding beat, laces it with comedy, and provides a thought-provoking medium of political awareness.

It's truly refreshing to have a conscious rapper rising into the music scene, and i hope they make an impact. The thought and creativity that has gone into these is excellent, and i really believe in what they're doing.

There have been 3 episodes so far. Enjoy...

I look forward to the next episode.

Article: From Their Own Mouths - Global Warming is a Fraud

Here's an article with a series of quotes about "Global Warming".

"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy." - Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony... climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world." - Christine Stewart, fmr Canadian Minister of the Environment

"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true." - Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace

"We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination... So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts... Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." - Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports

"The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe." - emeritus professor Daniel Botkin

"The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing." - Christopher Manes, Earth First!

Is Global Warming a Myth?

Global Warming has been a big issue for humanity for the past two decades now, and it has especially kicked up a gear over the past decade, being front page news regularly. There has been charities and events and donations of all sorts towards the threat of Global Warming, so to say that it is a myth, is a big, big claim.

However, there is data that shows that the earth has actually been cooling over the past 10 years, and not warming. 1998 was actually the world's hottest year in recent history.

Article: The Myth Of Global Warming

With that said, the environment's well being is very important. We should definitely be mindful to cut pollution and use alternative energy. But what we've got to be careful of is the way that governments and major organizations are using the Global Warming "problem" to gain control over farms and foods, earn billions by taxing things that cause "global warming", and stay in power (by pleasing the masses by making it look like they're fixing a global problem (which doesn't actually exist)).

To be honest it doesn't sound too different from the swine flu situation: The government make a huge global "problem" seem a certain way, or blow it completely out of proportion and/or context, create hysteria and fear in the masses, then create a plan of solution for the "problem", of which the plan's execution actually has a hidden agenda. Meanwhile, the masses breath a big sigh of relief that the government is "fixing" a problem and everybody's happy. "Our governments have saved the day! Yay!"
Except for the fact that the secret agendas involved go completely against humanity

This vid sums up the Global Warming situation well...


So what do you think? Is Global Warming fact or fiction?
