A Sporting Blowout
First spotted on Canada's Vancouver Island and Washington State, it’s been a little over four years since the legacy media alerted the public of the Asian Giant Hornet referring to them with the more ominous name “murder hornet”. The hornets can measure 1¾ inches in length with a wing span of up to 3 inches and carry a ¼ inch stinger. Entomological reports suggest that multiple simultaneous stings could kill a human. Despite the news media’s ill-omened warnings of a potential advance of an invasive killer species, there have been no sightings of the hornet since 2021.
A few decades earlier, the media provided cautionary tales of the Africanized Killer Bee. Imported from Africa to Brazil to assist in enhanced honey production, some of these savage bees escaped, and like the hordes of immigrants from southern climes headed for Mexico and not stopping at the southern US border and its patrols headed into the United States. These were aggressive bees that would assuredly begin to attack human populations even if unprovoked.
In the mid-1970s there was the matter of ozone depletion caused by human emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons which the presses announced would put all life in great peril. These gases found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants continue as the effect of ozone depletion is now being tied to anthropogenic climate change. The scare was a significant monetary benefit for the sunscreen and sunblock industries.
In 1980 it was said that rains in the US contained elevated levels of hydrogen ions and it was dubbed acid rain. The acid was picked up by the evaporation of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from plants along the Great Lakes’ rust belts and would fall into the lakes. The dire prediction by the presses was the mass killing of fish in the lakes.
In 1968, the Population Bomb said that “The battle to feed all of humanity is over” And hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death” and “nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate.” The author Paul Ehrlich said there would be mass starvation in “a dying planet” by 1975. Instead of dismissing the author as a lunatic, the presses continue to bring him forth as if he was some sort of scientific expert. Ehrlich, an entomologist by profession and education, makes no apologies for his books or for the barbarous and inhuman measures he and John Holdren have suggested for decreasing the US and world populations.
In July of 1971, it was predicted and disseminated that the world would be as little as 50 or 60 years away from a disastrous new ice age. This prophecy was heralded by leading atmospheric science experts at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with studies conducted by Columbia University.
The principle objective and purpose of the legacy media seems to constantly enhance fear and fright, but not to dispel the terror when the prophesized event does not happen or the associated time has lapsed. Despite these colossal failures in the world of impending catastrophic prophecies, nothing compares to the number of unsuccessful predictions made relative to global warming or anthropogenic climate change.
One of the reasons these failed predictions don’t get noticed is that the legacy media intentionally bypasses each failure. If the predictions around climate change were a game or sporting contest, by any measure, there has been a huge abundance of losses and not a single win – yet the fanatical fans continue to radically cheer it on.
