April Fools and Agenda 21
A few readers may already be aware that April Fool’s Day marks the launch of Christopher Monckton‘s speaking tour of New Zealand. It’s not arousing much interest in the media – probably because his declared attention is to propagate his conspiracy theory of a corrupt plan to form a world government initiated by fascists, greenies, communists, imperialists and capitalists. Hard to take this seriously, but it’s all outlined in the Agenda 21.
Not much sense is expected – and the public attending Monckton’s talks are generally extreme libertarians or conspiracy theorists of one sort or another – Chemtrail alarmists, Truthers, 9/11 conspiracies, etc.
But it could be fun – some of Monckton’s fans love to dress up. Here’s the latest press release from the NZ Flat earth Society, who are supporting Monckton’s tour.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE!
The Grand Wizard of the NZ Flat Earth Society, Nathaniel Pipe-Blower, has called on his flock and their friends to give Lord Monckton a rousing welcome to Auckland at Monckton’s public lecture at the University Business School, 7 – 9 pm on April 5th.
As we Flat Earthers have endured centuries of oppression and ridicule from scientists with their so-called “evidence” that the Earth is round, we sympathise with Lord Monckton’s struggle, and wish to offer our support and friendship.
Just to be clear, we want to be FRIENDS with Lord Monckton and WORK TOGETHER TO BATTLE THE CONSPIRACY between the Bad Scientists and the Evil Greens.
We will be handing out a scroll with our message, engaging in courtly conversation with members of the public, and expressing fulsome admiration for the Great Man himself – after all, he claims to a Nobel laureate who has found the cure for AIDS!
Now for the fun part: Flat Earthers often dress in medieval garb, e.g. as damsels, knights, lords & ladies, priests, peasants, jesters, wizards and wenches.
Flat Earthers also love music and entertainment, so it would be great to have pipers / minstrels / jugglers or clowns.
Most of all, Flat Earthers know how to MAKE MERRY! Feel free to let your hair down.
We will be meeting in the quad outside the Fisher and Paykel Lecture Theatre at 6.30 pm (or in the foyer, if wet).
The (free) lecture starts at 7 pm; Flat Earthers will likely be so impressed by Monckton’s total awesomeness that they will clap and cheer the brilliance of his thought!
Perhaps the media will turn up to this talk after all.

UK’s coldest Easter on Record. While weather isn’t climate , it has to make you wonder who are the April Fools. Britain’s on track for 30,000 cold related deaths as this Winters is expected to last well into April, while Governments obsess about taxing abundant & plentiful fossil fuels out of existence, and without a credible policy to replace them.

Yes, Eddie. You would think that Monckton would have received a better reception in the UK and he’s wasting his time down here where we are only slowly coming out of a long summer drought. But perhaps they know his political story there and reject it.
Weather isn’t climate – and to cherry pick like that (both temporally and regionally) does give the wrong impression. I have written about that in my post Climate contrarians/deniers are cherry picking again.
