Harvard's Psychiatric Green Movement

Two pervasive patterns emerge from the Harvard "green" climate change/global warming effort. One is that a psychiatrist is in charge. The second, he believes that ordinary citizens cannot be allowed to participate in decision making. This is the same argument between Walter Lippmann (the annex at the Nieman Foundation house on Francis Avenue at Harvard is named for Lippmann), and John Dewey, Columbia University philosopher. Dewey argued that all citizens must be allowed to participate in decision making or they will become alienated. Is it a surprise that few people trust the government or the media? Lippmann joined Ivy Lee, and the infamous Edward Bernays of Cambridge promoting the elitist position. Lee and Bernays were manipulators of public opinion, the early practitioners of public relations, propaganda experts, pulling the wool over people's eyes. Today we have a President who is a media creation with no experience or any accomplishments other than using media to get elected to office. The Obama campaign won an award from the advertising industry. Goes to show how many people are having "the wool pulled over their eyes." But psychiatry itself is a major boondoggle existing only due to intense relentless public relations campaigns and contributions to politicians. That is why a psychiatrist leads this alleged environmental effort. He is an expert at fooling people, obtaining taxpayer funds to treat fake illnesses. Psychiatrists like politicians are hucksters, charlatans. Psychiatry and global warming are alike. Neither has a basis in fact. Chivian's major premise is that only he and his morally and intellectually superior colleagues should be making public policy decisions. That is a pattern copied from the Stalin and Lenin playbook. Elitists and Communists work well together. It is extremely difficult to distinguish between them.

[From article]
"The most polemical of the six speakers was medical doctor Eric Chivian, a founder of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, the nuclear freeze group that won the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize.
[. . .]
"Dr. Chivian further explained that climate science is too technical for the public to grasp, leaving the masses “vulnerable to having the wool pulled over their eyes.” I don’t accept the premise that only experts are qualified to discuss climate science, but it is nevertheless interesting that none of the all-star environmental faculty is a climate scientist.
