Since the original signing of the accord, that is to say, once the nations were committed, even before the ink had fully dried on the paper, the agreed to phase-out date that had set for the year 2020 was brought forward by 60% to the year 2000.  Then, this phase-out date was further changed in the U.S. in 1992, by President Bush, who pushed the phase-out date forward once again to the year 1995 according to suggestions by the National Resource Defense Council.  The horrendous impact of all these imposed dictates on human existence had evidently never been a factor in the minds of those who demanded them, certainly not a major factor, yet it effects every human being on earth.

Thought control can also happen on a still deeper level through scare stories about diseases and their power, which have costed many a person his well-being if not his life.  Mary Baker Eddy writes in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, "We should become more familiar with good than with evil, and guard against false beliefs as watchfully as we bar our doors against the approach of thieves and murderers."*Science and Health 234:9)  She writes about the effects of perception on health by saying, "If you decide that climate or atmosphere is unhealthy, it will be so to you.  Your decisions will master you, whichever direction they take.  Reverse the case.  Stand porter at the door of thought.  Admitting only such conclusions as you wish realized in bodily results, you will control yourself harmoniously."*(Science and Health 392:21)

The case of the CFC ban illustrates the depth of the mind-control powers of today's oligarchism.  It appears difficult for the unaided consciousness to stand porter at the door of thought.  It has been surprisingly easy for the oligarchic society to implant its poison into the hearts of humanity, quietly and effectively, so that even these most horrendous costs and sacrifices which pail the costs and sacrifices demanded by World War I and II, are willingly accepted, and for what?

Without a scientific understanding of the principles of reality, men and nations are unprotected, than the innermost love for ones own identity as a human being in the image of God, and that of other people, is pushed into the background.  Mankind has been enveloped with a stupefying sense of trust in a self-appointed elite that is leading it to the slaughter, which is ready to inflict the greatest harm ever inflicted on man, against which assault mankind lacks the resources to free itself.  Instead of men being enveloped with lies and be stupefied, the scientific sensitivity of mankind to reality should be developed.  Man's intelligence should be advanced, not be discarded or subjected to devolution.  The advance of mankind, if not its continued existence, rests with mankind's sensitivity to the truth, and not with enveloping mysticisms that quietly strangle the human being to death.  Christ Jesus' words still echo in today's world, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

And how are we individually standing on this demand for alertness to the truth?  Where you shocked to hear that the ban on CFCs involves the world-wide replacement of essentially all refrigeration and air-conditioning systems with more expensive and less efficient systems?  Were you shocked to hear that the cost will be as high as 5 trillion dollars?  Were you shocked to hear that the enormous cost will make refrigeration increasingly unaffordable to the poorer nations, with the potential of a large scale breakdown of the refrigeration chain where refrigeration is most needed to prevent spoilage of food supplies that are already scarce?  Were you shocked to hear that the estimated human cost of this breakdown will add 20-40 million additional deaths per year to the already huge death-toll from starvation and food related illnesses?  Were you shocked to learn that this enormous cost doesn't even buy anything positive, because the ozone layer, for which this sacrifice is demanded, is not even in danger from the CFCs which have never been proven to exist in the stratosphere and would be outnumbered by natural sources of fluorine and chlorine at a ratio of 100,000 to one?*(Natural sources of chlorine from seawater and volcanos etc. release 649,000,000 tons of chlorine annually, compared to the maximum release theorized from breakup of CFCs of 7,500 tons per annual production.)
