It’s always the same damn handful of people.

We’ve talked about the Soros run Fenton Communications people numerous times before.

They are the same people who brought us the ‘alar scare,’ as well as Cindy Sheehan.

Here is more about them from Discover The Networks:

Steve Smith is a recognized expert in the art of communications for sustainable development.
His personal commitment and passion for his work ensures that people leave his presentations,
not only better informed, but energized and motivated to make a difference. Steve draws on
the latest research on how to inspire and motivate people to change, as well as his industry
knowledge as an Executive Committee member of the Public Relations Society of America’s
(PRSA) Environmental Section. He adds insights from his own wide ranging experience,
including tours on the Esperanza for Greenpeace USA, an insider’s perspective on the 2004
Presidential elections with Fenton Communications and his recent work at Futerra with Aveda
and 1Sky, the collaborative climate change campaign.

But this is possibly the most interesting of all:

The following excerpt captures emerging thinking on thi s issue:
Motivating messages need to hit an emotional cord. People are busy. They resist
change. In order to get their attention and support for change, you have to
connect with people by plugging into their belief systems. Not trying to rewire it
…It is not necessary to be inaccurate or to dumb down issues, but it’s essential to
engage people’s passion … you need to reach people emotionally first and then
educate them. Hearts first, and then minds’.
(Fenton Communications, 2001)

…

A central assertion of the work that helped to inform DEFRA’s recent Climate Change
communications initiative is that: ‘communications in the absence of policy’ would
precipitate the failure of any climate change communications campaign right from the start’
(Futerra). Hence, the public engagement ethos being supported throughout this review needs
to be closely linked with interventions that catalyse behaviour and provide the opportunity for
travel behaviour change.

Those last two excerpts are from:

Climate Change is being used as a lever to get people to willingly accept government regulation of every aspect of their lives. You make people afraid of “climate change”, convince them that they are the cause of it, then you convince them that “the government” is their salvation from certain disaster.

The whole thing is sickening.
