Sen. Whitehouse: Bring RICO Charges Against Climate Wrongthink

By Walter Olson on 6.5.15

Another step toward criminalizing advocacy: writing in the Washington Post, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) urges the U.S. Department of Justice to consider filing a racketeering suit against the oil and coal industries for having promoted wrongful thinking on climate change, with the activities of “conservative policy” groups an apparent target of the investigation as well. A trial balloon, or perhaps an effort to prepare the ground for enforcement actions already afoot?

I am so laughing at one of my old editors right now that told everyone in earshot what a whackjob I was for saying this was our future. In about 2003.

How about a RICO indictment of the media and the jackass party for shoving the Kenyan imposter down our throats? Twice.

So the liberals, who have worked their tails off trying to wipe religious faith out of existence and defile every aspect of it whenever and where ever possible, are now going to institute blasphemy laws against those who don’t submit to the “Climate Change” denomination of the democrat church. Are they going to burn heretics at the stake?

Good God! The country has gone completely insane. The muzzies picked a great time to ramp up their world conquest plans. The opposition has gone so batsh*t crazy, there IS no opposition. They can conquer at will. The US has become a freaking psych ward. Seriously. Mooch is Nurse Ratched, the psych ward lunch Nazi. Obozo is the preening Jong Il emperor punk.

All hell is breaking loose. But the sky falling, there’s no time for that!!!

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Don’t ever doubt that many of the RAT scum would have concentration camps for right thinking conservatives.

Don’t confuse them with facts!

In school they were told they were the “Masters of the Universe”.
