On the subject of being accused of fear mongering.
Fear mongering, is what I call The Doom Day Parade, whereby the message is all bad, and the target audience is conditioned to respond with a specific response, such as help-less-ness, power-less-ness, ignorance, apathy, or even violence.
1. A deer in the headlights
2. Flight (into an escape mechanism, depression, etc.)
3. Fight (create a thesis to the antithesis, seeking synthesis)
4, Willingness to be manipulated, even welcoming manipulation, even begging for manipulation, even to a point where a person asks for more torture, please - what is the limit on that scale?
The message can be all bad, and the message can include a false solution to the bad news, so as to condition the target audience to respond, predictably, on a path that is ineffective from the perspective of the victim, and productive, or effective, from the perspective of the legal criminal.
Just like the U.S. Debt Clock, think man, men, women, that clock documents a measure of control by a few destructive people over many productive people. From the viewpoint of the productive people the Debt is not good, but from the view of the destructive people, that is Credit, that is power flowing, potentially, and actually, in real time, from one group, to another group.
The worst cases of The Doom Day Parade include such things as Peal Oil (propaganda) and Over-population. I won't even go into Global Warming, because that is sticky with half truths, whereby actual damage is actually being done by actual people to the so called "environment", two cases in point, the gulf oil spill, and the current "warming" of the globe with plutonium from Japan.
Having just finished Alex Jones's second of four audio blog entries, streams of consciousness, I can relate, very well, as my mind has been at this for over 3 decades now, I go to be with it, and it works in my sleep, and I awake with new experiments to test new angles of view, for validity, in the absence of, the scarcity of, competitive angles of view from other people.
Alex Jones's competitive viewpoints, seeking higher quality, at lower cost, are among the best I've found so far, including my favorites listed in loose order:
Josiah Warren
Stephen Pearl Andrews
Alexandr I Solzhenitsyn
Howard Bloom
Eric Fromm
Robert Linder
Patrick Henry
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Paine
Norm Chomsky
Gore Vidal
James Madison (after he saw the light, not before)
Karl Hess
Ludwig Von Misses
Benjamin Franklin
and I may add more in the same light
The point being, in one sentence:
For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.
Blaming the victim for the bad news is a tactic, shooting the messenger, for delivering the bad news.
Example:
The messenger comes riding and yelling "The Legal Criminals (British in one example) are coming, in fact they are here!", and the response is either:
A. Shoot that guy, assassinate his character, do anything to shut him up, so as not to have to acknowledge, let alone deal with, the message.
B. Consider the message expediently, judge it for validity, appraise the message accurately, deal with the message, the messenger can be your own damn curiosity; having clicked a symbol on a computer screen, seeking information to challenge your own limits of perception.
The news is heavy stuff, and a person having to get from under the spell of brainwashing to self-control, has to undergo a process, and in my case the process was not easy, the process was terrifying, traumatic, difficult, hard, costly, and worth doing, despite the personal cost. The benefit is akin to moving from a state of fear, abject fear, unconscious fear, through terror, and into objective concern.
Objective concern is the only path to effective remedy, neither of which are on the paths dictated to us by our victimizers' (possessive); and all one has to do to find those evil men, those conspirators, the legal criminals, for anyone reaching objective concern, is to follow the fraudulent legal money trail back to the source.
The solution is as simple as a store owner receiving an I.O.U. from a known deadbeat, refusing the worthless paper, and offering work to the deadbeat, if the deadbeat truly wanted to exchange something for something instead of something for nothing.

And how to get from A to B:

The point being, for anyone to judge, armed with objective concern, is competition for solutions.
Let the best solution win, the one highest in quality, and lowest in cost, forced into existence by the force of competition, as the competitors seek to produce the best, at the lowest cost, or someone else will.
The bad news is what it is, and it is a monopoly power, a criminal power, crime is a power that seeks monopoly control, kill or be killed, survival of the most deceitful, survival of the most immoral, survival of the most violent, so don't expect to get anything but bad news from that power structure, if you put money into it, what do you expect to get out of it: targets?
Don't be surprised that you become the target, if you bet your life on that criminal power struggle.
The most you can hope for, is to be in a position to move weaker victims into the meat grinder, before the legal criminals get to you, once you have been placed, or once you volunteer to place yourself, on that hamster wheel, failing to do the necessary work to get off of it.
So, don't feel too bad about getting on the horse, or the soap box, and telling other people the competitive viewpoint you own, just, please, entertain the possibility, however remote, that your viewpoint may yet be flawed, at a level that you are not yet able to see.
