Regardless of where you stand on the seriousness of the virus, the collateral damage from the Worldwide reaction might well go down in history as one of the biggest societal cataclysms of the modern era.

Last [Friday’s shootings in Christchurch](https://www.oye.news/news/shootings/breaking-man-opens-fire-on-a-tram-in-the-dutch-city-of-utrecht/), New Zealand which ended with 50 dead and just as many injured have rung the global bell on a call for tougher media censorship.
Yesterday an open letter from Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, who is the head of Counter-Terrorism Policing in the UK was published on the counter-terrorism website.
Basu’s letter is a plea for the UK Government to recognise the threat that the free flow of information can have on a nation and to do something about it.
Basu points out the ironic fact that *“the same media companies who have lambasted social media platforms for not acting fast enough to remove extremist content are simultaneously publishing uncensored Daesh propaganda on their websites, or make the rambling ‘manifestos’ of crazed killers available for download.”*
He said extremist propaganda that might reach tens of thousands of people through their own channels or networks has the potential to reach tens of millions if a national newspaper published it.
He goes onto say in summary that:
> ‘Society needs to look carefully at itself. We cannot simply hide behind the mantra of freedom of speech. That freedom is not an absolute right, it is not the freedom to cause harm – that is why our hate speech legislation exists.’ [source](https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/acso-neil-basu-issues-open-letter-about-reporting-of-terrorism/)
Basu continually refers to this dangerous information that the UK’s media is publishing as Terrorist propaganda, which he claims inspires other potential terrorists into action, he bases this assessment from the statements of terrorists his team have interviewed over the years.
I think it is undeniable that information can be dangerous, it can reinforce beliefs and prejudices, it can raise one’s emotions causing anger and fear. This is true whether the information is accurate or not. Information which has been designed to produce a specific public emotional response, propaganda, is even more dangerous – But, it’s not the root of the problem, it merely accelerates an exceptionally small minority of people to do what they were inevitably going to do anyway.
Censoring our media is a far more dangerous path to take, with dire consequences. A government which controls its media and dictates the flow of information is a Government who has a self-perpetuating power and thus unbreakable control over its people.
While we have been condemning dictatorships across the World for decades with the oppression they place upon their people through censorship and their own propaganda we are voluntarily begging for it ourselves, a little bit at a time.

Just when you thought the Zika scare was a long forgotten news story, its ugly head rears once again – this time the threat is being issued to those in the UK and its teamed up with the newest enemy in town – Climate Change!
The new threat to British lands is being blamed of course on the new face of terror – Climate Change. Experts believe that as our climate becomes warming over the coming years we can expect a whole host of deadly pests to contend with.
> *‘As average temperatures around the earth rise, making them more suitable for mosquitoes, humidity will also increase because more water will evaporate from the ground and oceans and warmer air can hold more moisture, leading to more rain.‘ The mosquitoes can carry viruses including dengue, chikungunya and Zika, which can in some cases be fatal or cause other debilitating illnesses. [[source]](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6861713/Zika-dengue-threaten-billion-climate-warms.html)*
Scientists say because of the increased rainfall and higher summer temperatures particularly the South of England will be more in danger of these deadly pests in the coming years:
> *Warmer temperatures and more rainfall – both outcomes of climate change – could provide ideal conditions for the mosquito in the UK, particularly southern England, said the scientists. [[source]](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6861713/Zika-dengue-threaten-billion-climate-warms.html)*
The Dailymail is also reporting of [Tiger Mosquitos being spotted in England](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7018387/Dengue-Mersey-Health-chiefs-warn-NHS-prepare-deadly-tropical-diseases.html) carrying potentially fatal diseases such as Dengue and of course they point out:
> *Thanks to climate change, this bug has travelled so far north that it is now flourishing in parts of South East England.*
For those unfamiliar with the Zika scare in 2016 across South America check out our [article](https://www.oye.news/news/health/zika-virus-not-telling/) covering the mass fear campaign issued by the WHO and other health authorities from around the World.
Experts believe there is a link between Zika and Microcephaly in the newborns of pregnant mothers contacting the virus. However, as our previous article points out these correlations between the virus and the condition are dubious to say the least.
Climate Change is the new face of Terrorism, those who deny the theories surrounding its cause are terrorist supporters and those participating in the alleged causes of the Climate change are the Terrorists. [Say goodbye to ISIS](https://www.oye.news/news/psychological/propaganda/whatever-happened-to-isis/) and say hello to Climate Change.
We are not denying, however, the fact that as the Climate Changes different lifeforms will prosper in areas in which they once were scarce, this is the natural way of things – however, it would seem so-called experts want to deny that Mother Earth historically for millions of years has been passing through various cycles of climate. Humans, as usual, would like to believe they are significant enough to cause major difference in such an epic force.
