“10:10″ is a campaign to get people around the world to lower their carbon consumption by 10% in the year 2010. Global Warming and all that, you see.
It’s quite a large, well-organized movement, funded in part by the British government.
This morning, the 10:10 campaign released “No Pressure,” a much-anticipated video promoting the notion of compliance to the carbon-reduction drive, a video scripted by famed British screenwriter Richard Curtis (Notting Hill, Mr. Bean, etc.) and produced by a professional film crew with top-notch actors.
However…
Within minutes of its unveiling earlier today, “No Pressure” caused such an uproar that it was taken offline while the producers issued an apology.
Luckily, enterprising bloggers saved copies and have been frantically re-uploading them to YouTube, to prevent the video from disappearing down the memory hole.
Why? Because no video has ever provided such a revealing and shocking peek into the mindset of the Global Warming alarmists.
Before I say any more, you absolutely need to see the video itself:
Alternately, you can watch directly on its (often faster-loading) YouTube page: 10:10 mini-movie – No Pressure
In both cases, let the video load fully before watching it, to get the full effect, and make sure to watch it all the way to the end.
Oh, and make sure you’re sitting down, too.
…
OK, now that you’ve lost your “No Pressure” virginity, what do you think? An effective way to convince people to lower their carbon footprint — or final proof that the Green movement are a bunch of crypto-fascists with violent fantasies of exterminating their opponents, and who use threats to enforce groupthink?
As James Delingpole put it in his column about the video, “Eco-fascism jumps the shark: massive, epic fail!”
And just exactly how amusing is it to depict the graphic murder of children who refuse to march in lockstep with the Global Warming cult?
If someone set out to intentionally discredit the Global Warming movement, they couldn’t have made a video more devastating than this one. It’s as if the eco-fascists have an irrepressible urge to expose their unconscious fantasies to those whom they seek to dominate — like a serial killer who sends taunting letters to the media. “When we say ‘No pressure,’ what that really means is, ‘We will kill you if you don’t obey.’ So, don’t worry, NO PRESSURE. Understand? Our finger is hovering over the red button. Really, you are free to think whatever you want. (Wink.) No pressure. Ha ha ha!”
Discuss.
Update: In case the above clip is pulled from YouTube, Ed Driscoll has also uploaded a copy of the video to his PJ Express blog, where he places it into context with last year’s increasingly violent environmentally-themed PSAs.
That's altogether beyond the pale. These fools need to understand that they're talking about a civil war.
There is no chance this bit of cinema verite will be lost or forgotten. It is difficult to understand the mindset of people who are capable of considering this motivational for anything other than the obliteration of their campaign.
If it is done by supporters it is one of the most revealing demonstrations of their insanity.
This couldn't possibly be a video to support 10-10.
Bump Bump Bump.
I thought it was satire at first. Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot would be proud.
+1
Sicko leftist fantasy film, partially funded by the British government. Oh for an easy button to brutally murder those who don’t agree with their socialist/fascist/marxist/earth-worship ideology - innocent children included!
What does +1 mean?
Ping to the most stunning and horrifying ad I’ve ever seen.
What’s really scary - though not that surprising - is that this video got all the way to release without anyone apparently raising a red flag. They are all so “on board” for this that no one said, “hey, wait a minute.”
On the apology page here;
http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure
The authors, like over 50 people involved with production of it, claimed it was “extremely funny”.
-So fascistic intimidation for your cause is “funny”.
What did they think those people who disagreed with the concept of Global Warming would think? As a result I even wonder and suspect if the intimidation factor was in fact intentional. I find myself wondering how it couldn’t be?
I could not finish watching the video. It is seriously disturbing; or more correctly, created by the mind of someone seriously disturbed. The sad thing is the maker of this vid probably thought they were being funny. I suppose it is funny, if one is a sociopath,
Agreement.
Now, we are to expect that (especially) the first scene of this film (with the teacher and little kids) was a "joke?" Meant to be "funny?" Imagine some kids watching it.
Also, please remember this VW ad, and all the outrage it caused. Finally (I'm not going to watch the film again), wasn't it very, um, white?
Exactly 6SJ7. The authors thought it was hilarious, by their own words. Environmental extremism is evidently the safe haven for sociopaths.
“This couldn’t possibly be a video to support 10-10.”
And yet, it is.
They thought it was ha-ha funny,
Sick bastards.
Scaring kids in school is nothing new. Global warming is only the latest example.
Toward the end of the Cold War, with the left’s attempts at undermining President Reagan’s attempt to at least not lose to the Soviets, teachers were encouraging kids to express their fears and feelings about nuclear war, and presented it as if were the preference of President Reagan and the right in this country, and presented the Soviets as, at worst, neutral.
Of course, a young innocent mind cannot understand that there are things worse than a quick death by nuclear attack.
—Like the reality that is the history of those who the Communists/Soviets enslaved, brutalized, sent to “re-education camps” and gulags, kidnapped in the dark of night from their beds, and even just shot in a soundproof execution room in the basement of some government building or in a line of prisoners shot one at a time in front of a trench, killing 100 million of them in the 20th century.
Those same teachers prefer not to teach that though. That is somehow not “tolerant”. And so ends human history in the Marxist sense (and as far as our public schools are concerned), in the politics of the emotional.
They have unmasked themselves and probably don't even know it
I was pretty dumfounded by this and I read all the background on it to make sure it was an authentic product of the greenies and not something designed to make them look bad. I can certainly believe that they think like this, but I can’t believe that even they would be stupid enough to announce it. But apparently they were.
