NPR Paints Smiley Face on Looming Global Warming Catastrophe

The U.S. government and corporate propaganda radio network NPR put a happy face on global warming (“climate change” as they put it, creating a layer of euphemism)

A new UN report is being released. I learned from Democracy Now! That a recommendation in the draft version that called for richer nations to kick in $100 billion a year to help the poorer ones was deleted from the report. (Naturally the various “all news” radio stations, and TV “news,” which is where the mass of the ignorant American populations gets its information from, ignored this.)

The recommendation was mysteriously deleted on orders from above. We can reliably assume one of those giving the order was the U.S.

So coincidentally, after the news was on Democracy Now! (democracynow.org, Headlines for 3/31/14), NPR broadcast a story on the report. I was curious to see if NPR would mention the aforementioned censored recommendation, so I listened very carefully. Well, my crystal ball was spot on. Sure enough, there was no mention of the recommendation or of its removal from the report. Instead we got an upbeat report on how Bangladesh was coping. The thrust was Think Positive. Because Bangladesh had suffered so much from weather disasters, they were taking steps to protect themselves. (The details of these allegedly protective steps were sketchy, and given that Bangladesh is low-lying territory, the fact is that much of the country could be underwater in coming decades- a fact omitted by the young dweeb NPR-oid “reporting” the story and his masters at NPR.) We can learn from Bangladesh, the NPR reporter tells us. We get a Bangladeshi official putting an upbeat spin on things there.

I'll just quote the last two sentences of this happy-face propaganda to give you the flavor of it:

“We'll all have to deal with a warming world. This new report emphasizes that it will go a lot better if we all work together. Geoff Brumfiel, NPR News.”

So NPR protects its U.S. government masters from unwanted exposure of yet another nefarious act. (One could argue about whether or not the richer nations should make donations to poorer- unless the question is suppressed before it can even be discussed. That's of a piece with Obama regime behavior on most matters- suppress suppress suppress. Of course Obama didn't invent suppress. That's a standard U.S. government procedure going back a long time. Which doesn't make it any less despicable. And they call this power system “democracy.” Keep people in the dark and powerless. That's a 1984-style definition of the word.)
