The controversy surrounding Al Gore's comments during a speech at the University of Maryland Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference, during which he pitted children against their parents by telling them they "know more" about global warming, is merely the tip of the iceberg of a top-down movement that is mimicking a technique that dictatorships have practiced throughout history - the exploitation and brainwashing of children to turn them into Maoist, Stasi, Hitler Youth-style informants and enforcers against their own family and community.
Talking head Glenn Beck was spooked about the historical legacy that Gore is following in brainwashing kids to assume an adversarial position against their own parents in the interests of the state.
"I'm trying to think where else this has been done --+ Soviet Russia, Nazi, Germany, Mussolini's Italy,"+ Beck said. "In fact, the Nazis took an extra step. Not only did they indoctrinate the kids and tell them you're probably right, you know but your parents don't; in fact, here's the next step: Why don't you tell us what your parents are telling you. Are we having the new Hitler youth? Is that what this is? The new Hitler youth? I'm sorry, that's so politically incorrect - the new green guard. Man your station, 12-year-olds, your parents just don't know."
A London Observer article, which all but triumphs + children spying on and chastising their parents for claimed "eco-crimes," +betrays the absurdity and mindlessness of how these scenarios are being played out.
Ominously entitled, "Green children re-educate their parents," the writer describes how his five-year-old daughter was angrily filing through his passport, before issuing a firm rebuke about how many times her father had traveled to America.
"How many times have you been on a plane to America?" asks the child.
"About 40," her father responds.
"And how many trees have you planted?"
"No trees."
"I'm going to tell Miss White."
The absurd irony of course is that the daughter threatens to inform on her father to the teacher for the "eco-crime" of contributing towards CO2 emissions and not planting trees, when in fact trees absorb CO2 and would die out completely if this "poison" was eliminated from the earth."About 40," her father responds.
"And how many trees have you planted?"
"No trees."
"I'm going to tell Miss White."
The writer relates how his child has begun to "spout eco policy with exquisite fervour and zealotry" and how he is regularly confronted and lectured by her about low-energy light bulbs, plastic bags and plane journeys.
