Perpetual mind control thru fear.
BINGO!
You always need to keep them scared and stirred up. Fear is a powerful motivator.
You had the national security era; then you had the environmental apocalypses of: global warming, ozone hole, DDT, trash production, Rain Forest, acid rain, running out of potable water; and now you have diseases. Zika, West Nile, bird and swine flu, were just the precursors.
-Politicians offer the fix and throw themselves out front.
-Government agencies and departments are going to tax and regulate us to safety like they did with the war on drugs and global warming.
-The news and Hollywood will make a lot selling a story which people watch 24/7.
-Experts, pundits, some institutions get to self promote.
-Business will figure out a way to fleece their pockets with public money (the government today picks the winners and losers): many hospitals, insurance, big pharma (billions).
Where’s the down side? Ah yeah- liberty, the economy at a macro level, peace of mind for the people, sanity and pragmatic decision making...
The topics change, but the basic idea behind it never does.
