"Today's Inconvenient Truth: Al Gore Lied, James J. Lee Died
by John Nolte
At a gut level most left-wing environmentalists know that they're liars. Intellectually they might have somehow convinced themselves that Mother Earth is in some sort of man-made peril, but deep down inside where the truth won't be denied, these liars know they're lying — know that the "green movement" is all about a sinister political agenda to put them in the position of insect overlords in charge of we rubes who stubbornly refuse to let go of the idea that Marxism is a bad thing.
This isn't true for all of them. Ed Begley Jr. walks the walk, and there are everyday tree-huggers scattered throughout America quietly attempting to make work a sustainable lifestyle. You can smell them from here. But most environmentalists are lying liars who know they're lying. Because if you honestly believe man is destroying the planet, that the apocalypse is nigh, you prepare for it. Most coastal elites are Global Warming believers and yet Global Warming, we're told, will make the oceans rise to the point that will someday put much of the coast, especially Manhattan underwater. So why aren't coastal elites moving inland? Why aren't they pulling a Lex Luthor and buying up all that cheap property that will someday be the new coast? And why do they continue to burn fossil fuels, enjoy air conditioning, and otherwise consume? Because deep down inside they know what we know: it's all bull shit Socialism disguised as nonsense.
[ Why wouldn't an alarmist who lives by the ocean, move to higher ground now? Cause they don't really believe that sh*t, it's just an excuse. ]
People who believe, truly believe that an environmental apocalypse – be it through increased temperatures, a rise in sea levels, or super-hurricanes — is imminent, act as though it's imminent. They don't live in big, fancy, air-conditioned homes propped precariously on the side of the Hollywood Hills and purchased through the dividends of an unnecessary energy-burning, landfill-filling industry. They don't run up incredible electric bills. They don't purchase second homes large enough to house Michelle Obama's entourage.
However, after an "awakening," courtesy of former Vice President Al Gore's wildly inaccurate propaganda-horror film, "An Inconvenient Truth," James J. Lee believed.
Let's keep in mind that "An Inconvenient Truth" is not a work of fiction. Well, at least it's not presented as such. Al Gore's Academy Award-winning documentary is not "The Day After Tomorrow." Hollywoodists, using the mighty propaganda power found in the sound and fury of the modern day motion picture, brought a Vice President of the United States before the world to inform us that man was killing the planet.
And yesterday, someone who took that film at its word, who took Al Gore at his word, acted on it.
James J. Lee might have been crazy as Ed Schultz at a Glenn Beck rally … but he believed. And if you believe, truly believe in Al Gore's doomsday scenario, it's not hard to convince yourself that going Jack Bauer — employing extra-legal and violent methods — for the greater good of Gaia is a moral and even a heroic choice. A better example might be John Brown, the fanatical abolitionist who committed horrible crimes in the noble cause of freeing the slaves. But at the time, slavery was a very real evil. Al Gore's doomsday scenario is not.
Not for a second do I believe that Al Gore or anyone involved in the creation of "An Inconvenient Truth" wanted or even imagined that someday someone would strap on explosives, walk into a building with a daycare center, and take hostages in the hopes of terrorizing a cable outlet into creating more programming similar to "An Inconvenient Truth." Nor do I believe that they — or anyone — is responsible for lunatics who take political messaging to a violent extreme.
But Gore and Co. are consciously and purposefully using the most powerful propaganda device ever created to spread self-serving lies in the hopes of scaring us into voting for the kind of government that will give the elite more control over our lives. And so there's simply no getting around the fact that had these people (and their media minions) inspired with the truth instead of a lie, yesterday's tragedy might not have happened."
