I believe that I have been misled for the following reasons:

(i) The Russians were never going to attack us. The cold war was a myth. The Russians never believed the West would attack them either.

(ii) Global warming is rubbish. Yes, the world is warming up - but not to the extent it has done in the past. Data the scientists use is corrupted by the Urban Heat Island Effect, by bad observation (using dendrochronology of trees in the southern hemisphere to model behaviour in the northern hemisphere) and does not conform to the minimum standard scientific method. Watch out for the word 'consensus' This means people agree but DO NOT have evidence.

(iii) Deaths through terrorism have decreased dramatically over the last ten years - this includes 911. The risk of dying due to a terrorist attack is at it's lowest in 30 years (in the West) Deaths due to Islamic terrorism is the smallest it's been for nearly 50 years.

(iv) The risk of a child of whom you are a parent being abducted (or worse) is the lowest it's been since records began (in the UK)

(v) The risk of being a victim of violent crime (in the UK) is the lowest it's been for two generations

(vi) The risk of contracting a non curable disease is the lowest for nearly 10 years.

What can one make of these facts?

I think it is govts controlling populations through fear.
