Is this video below child abuse? Instead of children exploding or polar bears falling like victims of 9/11, this time it is spectral children hating on mom and dad from a supposedly desolate future. Such childish doggerel can only be the product of earnest adults:
We haven’t killed all the polar bears
But it’s not for lack of trying
Big Bird is sacked
The Earth is cracked
And the atmosphere is frying
Apparently it is an anti-Romney ad, listing destruction of the planet by global warming as just one item in a laundry-list of petty demagogic cliches. Was this paid for by Obama?
Full “lyrics” here. Nice propaganda to put in the mouths of the innocent.
Hurry up and unplug our existing coal-generation electricity infrastructure, for the children, to keep them cold at night.
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” for the children (Obama 2008), so they won’t have too much light.
Hurry up and quadruple gasoline prices, for the children:
“Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”
—Obama’s Energy Secretary in-waiting Stephen Chu in December 2008 when U.S. gas prices were below $2/gal and European gas prices were $8/gal.
And don’t forget that killing debt, for the children, the gift that keeps on taking.
Some kids will have good reason to blame mom and dad if they find the future impoverished (and cold instead of hot), like those kids in the video, who were undoubtedly put up to it by their own eco-leftist parents.
This is sickening. It is on a par in my view with the dope smoking benefit dependent hippy-like ‘mother’ who drags her children out to every ‘protest’ rally and ‘camp’ she can find, so she can ‘teach them to stand up for their rights.’
Someone should report the makers of this – and the parents to the Child Protection services for abuse.
The idiot children are made to sing
“Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff”
But those are Obama policies. Have the democrat producers consumed too much crack?
“When we look around
The place is all dumbed down
And the long term’s kind of a drag”
Again, Obama policies. Have the democrats no people with a functioning brain anymore? Rethorical question.
In theory, there should be a Government Department that handles “Child Abuse” that should be taking some notice and some action. But alas, they are all from that same contaminated mold. Just another example on the plethora of reasons why Obama has got to go.
Youth indoctrination, popular with extremist groups and cults since time immemorable.

Thanks for the plug Kim. The reaction of quite a few people to that video has been “this is what you have been warning us about.” I see it in the dullness of the eyes reacting to all the psychological assaults in the name of social and emotional learning going on now in education globally to literally create “new kinds of minds and new sets of (collectivist) values.” And the new kinds of minds is what the promoters are asserting. And it is not just kids. School board members and parents in communities pushing teacher attendance at Peter Senge’s Camp Snowball or Spence Rogers PEAK training in Vail mention a cultish non-rational emotional zeal for altering kids’ consciousness when teachers return to the classroom. We are truly playing with fire here.
WUWT readers may in particular be interested in this post from a few weeks ago http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/squelching-climate-skepticism-while-employing-operant-conditioning-tactics-against-schoolchildren/
I do not use the phrase globally lightly. I have tracked this all over the world. In Canada it is coming in as values and moral education and I have those documents. In Australia it is coming in as the Student Wellbeing initiative. In Hong Kong moral values. All communitarian in orientation and all seeking to foster a perceived obligation to defer to the consensus of the group.
It is not hyperbole to describe this deliberate mental assault as trying to destroy the legitimacy of individualism everywhere English common law and tradition ever reverenced it. Which means taking out economic freedom and mass prosperity as well because historically they all go hand in hand.
I didn’t need this video to show me what the Obama crowd has in store for our children.
“Teaching kids to hate mom and dad: “the atmosphere is frying… and we’re kinda blaming you”
Propagandizing the children to enforce a desirable policy on the adults is par for the course for socialists seeking their secular utopia. But note: when it comes to paying for same, they are happy to put these same children in debt serfdom to pay for it via borrowing and money printing. This shows that these socialists are have no morals and are driven only by expediency of their godless ideology.
How would you feel about your school trashing textbooks and pushing “zombie-based learning” instead? Where they could practice planning to rebuild society after the apocalypse?
http://www.zombiebased.com/blog/2012/09/30/zbl-featured-on-amplify-com/ is another video promoting it. Many of those kids have the same dull looks in their eyes. Emotional engagement should not be the primary focus of the classroom.
The quote about new kinds of minds came from the head of amplify, Joel Klein, which is promoting zombie-based learning on their website.
Hey “children of the future”, how do you feel about being used to spread propaganda and lies by your eco-whacko parents? Did you know that economic prosperity, made possible by the use of fossil fuels is what allows for a cleaner environment? No, of course not.
After filming this these kid’s parents took them to a pro choice rally /sarc
dp says: “We need to overhaul the education system in the US – the last overhaul went off the wrong direction.”
Not that your wrong, but good luck with that. There are four major hurdles with fixing the U.S. education system.
1) Progressives & Socialists are not going to give up their recruitment / indoctrination system.
2) A majority of Teachers were taught under the system and have drunk the kool-aid.
3) Teachers’ Unions will fight tooth and nail to keep their power and funding.
4) Mom & Dad are going to have to become parents and quit sending their kids off to our public baby sitting service.
“Such childish doggerel can only be the product of earnest adults:”
No. Only the product of disturbed sociopaths. This is pure sociopathology on display. Seriously sick people.

Thanks , I do not know how to do that

Mao Tse-tung would be proud. Where are their little grey hats and their little red books. This is how Marxist/socialist do it. This is how they get power. In the 1960s Chinese children were similarly indoctrinated and told to hate their parents and to hate the status quo. The so-called “Cultural Revolution was a bloodbath. It happened in Cambodia too in the 1970s. The Khmer Rouge had children kill millions of people who might have opposed them politically.
East Germany had everyone ratting on everyone else, Another Marxist tactic.
I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Benjamin Franklin (17 January 1706 – 17 April 1790)
The same is true for education. The best way to dom down a population is to give the teaching power to the government. always remember that government is like a fire.

Child abuse? Naaa – this is Green child abuse.
The infamous 10:10 anti ‘Global Warming Sceptic’ advert.
The Greens thought this would be suitable for a TV advert…..

Once again, I would note that it is very, very depressing that our election is hinging on a guy in bird costume having a job paid for by the government.
Matt, you can bet that someone is trying to figure out how to hide such weapons on innoccuous benevolent space machines (such as those that might be employed to measure, or God forbid, combat greenhouse warming). Have you noticed how many newer satellites these days can actually be re—er—programmed from Earth?
Ideological child abuse on display.
Comments are beginning to show up once again denigrating the skills of public school classroom teachers. Okay. Fine. Keep your kids home and teach Algebra 1 to your middle child, the 6th grader, calculus to your high school sophomore, and the finer points of craft and structure similarities and differences between fiction and informational text beginning in 3rd grade to your youngest. While you are busy, kindly teach the differences between pursuasive and argumentative writing modes through the grades. Would you like to hear the pre-requisites and course outlines for AP classes, since you are so impressed with your teaching skills you think ALL your offspring will be able to take such courses? And if you can find the miracle worker in you, kindly cure the various academic deficits that come with dyslexia or even high-functioning autism in case one of your children suffers from one of these conditions. This would be hard enough with just one child. But most have more than one. So you will have to bone up on several fronts at the same time.
If that isn’t a good enough slice of humble pie for you, why don’t I “mirror” the stereotypical comments about public school? I’ll give it a good try:
“Parents who spout home schooling as their solution for what they perceive to be poor public schools are about as dumb as their children will become.”
Did I stuff it with enough unthinking stereotypical speech? Did I capture the uninformed rhetoric of similar comments? Sounds wretched doesn’t it. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe what I wrote for an instant. There are fine examples of highly educated and effective parent-teachers. But, for the purpose of this little exercise, nothing like a good look in the mirror in order to get the speck of dust out of your eye.
A number of years ago, in a blog far far away, I argued with a woman about the merits of telling children about the “danger” of global warming. She gave an analogy of preparing children for the chance of their house catching fire, and that it was proper to tell them of potential dangers. I replied that there is nothing wrong with preparation for possible disaster, but to harp on it day-after-day would be wrong. That is, you could have a family meeting and discuss what to do if there is an emergency such as a house fire, and then repeat that about once-a-year as a refresher, then that is preparedness. If you blast your children with the potential of their home burning down, bring it up during meals, remind them of it as they wake up and go to sleep, then that is simply child abuse.
As a matter-of-fact, most of my childhood and adulthood have been spent being blasted with messages about portending disasters. Nuclear holocaust, nuclear winter, a new ice age, additives in water, contaminants in water, lead paint, asbestos, light bulbs, contaminated foods, biological warfare, chemical warfare, peak oil (that repeats about every five years), cancer from sitting too close to the TV set, cancer from going out in the sun, vitamin D deficiency from lack of sun, cancer from using cell phones, becoming violent after (choose one) [reading comic books, watching TV, watching movies, playing video games, eating or drinking stuff with sugar in it], illness because of artificial sugars, addiction to white sugar, diabetes epidemic (pretending that it isn’t hereditary and natural) from Western Lifestyles, obesity epidemic (even though nobody has ever done a study to see what a “normal” weight is), derangement syndromes (because somebody you don’t like was chosen for president), nuclear power plants cause some sort of problem (that one has been a bit vague), a strong military inspires other people to attack us, etc., etc., etc.
So, after going through all that, throughout my life, I’m not real happy about the disaster-of-the-year being all my fault. My intelligence has been abused all my life, concerning disasters that never seem to quite come true.

Well, can’t seem to find anyone who voted for the current regime…at least publically. Even the lefties on TV are guarded about supporting the current tyranical based control administration.
Do these kids realize that the dogma that they are so adorably chirping would probably limit their own freedom to have children. Consumers (Humans) are evil after all. These are the adults of the future. The children of the future will only be permitted when enough carbon credits have been purchased by the prospective parents. It’s a brave new world they sing for.
