Obama's science adviser (and other green topics)

Reminded me of the "timecube" in some odd way.
 
DisInfowars? Seriously? You might wanna have your BS filter checked. If the last guy who serviced it put it in backwards that can cause all kinds of confustion.
 
Every time you start a thread with an unlabeled link, posters ask you for a summary. Let's do it again. Icebear, would you give us even a hint of what the video is about? Or your opinion? Or even a reason why this topic is worthy of discussion
 
Is anyone willing to watch this and tell us what is up?
 
That's what you get with JREF liberals -- "skeptics" too lazy to watch a video that's not even 60 minutes.
 
I didn't watch it, but for anyone who wants to know what its about so they can ignore it without losing any sleep, it's title is "Webster Tarpley: The Elites Plan for World-Wide Genocide Revealed"
 
Doesn't anything by Webster Tarpley belong in the conspiracy forum by default?

For those who want more elucidation:
Historian and author Webster Tarpley exposes how White House science czar John P. Holdren, who infamously co-wrote a 1977 textbook in which he advocated the formation of a "planetary regime" that would use a "global police force" to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children, is a Malthusian fanatic in the tradition of the arcane anti-human ideology that originated amongst British aristocracy in the 19th century.
Oh, and it's on the Alex Jones channel.
 
Hmm?

Webster Tarpley? Conspiracy Theories.
Alex Jones? Conspiracy Theories.
Holgren? Science... maybe. But no one wants to actually discuss the stuff the Tarpley cherry-picked, I reckon, so..... Conspiracty Theories.

I've requested a mercy move to CT (before this winds up in AAH).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that this is another example of the FAIL Fallacy:

Essentially, any article that describes an ongoing situation, or attempts to predict how a situation may develop in the future, is re-interpreted as actually advocating for the described situation or predicted future. Thus, "Humans may evolve into two distinct branches" morphs into, "We're going to make humans evolve into two distinct branches".

I don't think there's a formal name for this Fallacy. Perhaps we could call it the Falsely Attributed Intention* fallacy?





*We need to find a word that starts with "L" to use here, because "The FAIL Fallacy" is just too good to waste!

I think we need the concept of "intention" or "advocacy" in there, as that's the heart of the matter.


"False Advocacy Implication Logic"?
 
Indeed, as the article also mentions, the authors point out that the 'sterilants in the drinking water' has never been tried before, anywhere, and the risk of something going badly wrong is far too great.
 
So wait a second. A study of a subject included possible abuses of, or negative interpretations of the subject?

Dastardly people!
 
What is with the conservative obsession with population control?
 
What is the obsession with centralized banks, or one-world governments?
