My WND Technocracy column today compares the similarities between the Doomsday Clock and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Artful proclamations of doom accomplish little and obscure reality behind a veil of politics.
Both the clock and the prize are liberal gestures — exercises in symbolism over substance. I first read of the Doomsday Clock in the graphic novel Watchmen. The novel centers on a plot to kill thousands in order to unite mankind against a fictional alien enemy (before we nuke each other into oblivion).
The idea that today unnamed "scientists" are moving the hands of the Doomsday Clock back and forth around the five-minutes-to-midnight mark because society isn't doing enough to combat [man-made] global warming strikes me as ridiculous as Barack Obama winning the Peace Prize for getting elected.
