Al Gore warns us to watch out for manipulative fearmongers — like him

 Irony from Al Gore….
“If leaders exploit public fears to herd people  in directions they might not otherwise choose, then fear itself can  quickly become a self-perpetuating and free-wheeling force that drains  national will and weakens national character.”
Fear, adds Al Gore  the great climate fear-monger, can be promulgated using three  techniques: repetition, misdirection and making the irregular seem  regular. “By using these narrative tools alone, anyone with a loud  platform can ratchet up public anxieties and fears, distorting public  discourse and reason.” 

Truly ironic indeed. However there's probably not many that are more qualified to make that statement. 

what a pompous ass...

It's not working anymore so well all the fear propaganda on TV and fake news. People are waking up the false flags.
