The key question today is this: Do world governments manipulate economics like they they were caught doing in climate “science”? The latter is also being discussed as the UN’s IPCC issues new reports and struggles to restore public confidence. See:

Why is government science used to deceive? The answer may be revealed later today in a five-video summary of events I personally witnessed over the past 50 years, 1961-2011.
Prior to and during World War II, psychology was used by governments to organize citizens against a common enemy – Jews, Natzis, etc.
The victor was decided by the branch of science that produced an “event” that literally vaporized Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 – scaring politicians worldwide.
[By coincidence, the scientist that became my research mentor, a faculty member at the Imperial University of Tokyo in 1945, went to Hiroshima to find out the nature of the frightening nuclear “event.”]
After WWII, psychology continued as an important tool to influence “value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, or behavior” [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_operations].
Our government openly formed the Psychological Strategy Board on April 4, 1951. Henry Kissinger worked there before becoming Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to Richard Nixon in the 1970s.
Nationalism re-emerged as the Cold War, dividing the globe between communist East and capitalist West. Nuclear weapons became more destructive and difficult to transport to the other side of the globe.
Did Kennedy announce the “Apollo” program on 20 April 1961 to show that the USA could transport a heavy, bulky H-bomb around the globe to Moscow?
I don’t know. Ten years later Kissinger convinced Chinese leaders to join a worldwide effort to avoid the threat of mutual nuclear annihilation by ending the “space race” and uniting nations against a new common enemy – “anthropologic global climate change.”
On January 5, 1972, President Nixon announced,
“I have decided today that the United States should proceed at once with the development of an entirely new type of space transportation system . . ,” [Claud Lafleur, “No More Dreams, Mr. President”].

Fortunately, I’m so old my retirement funds are almost gone!
The good news: World leaders and politicians are not half as clever as they imagine. They believe their own propaganda!
