Gov. Jerry Brown takes Trump fight to Vatican, says world needs a ‘brainwashing’ on climate change
Washington Times ^ | 11/6/2017 | Jessica Chasmar

California Gov. Jerry Brown took the anti-Trump resistance to the Vatican over the weekend, declaring that the world is in need of a so-called “brainwashing” on climate change.

In an appearance Saturday at an event organized by the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Mr. Brown assured leaders that the “Trump factor” on climate change is minimal compared to the efforts taking place worldwide, but that it’s not the only problem fueling delusions on the climate threat, The Sacramento Beereported.

“The Trump factor is very small, very small indeed,” the Democratic governor, who has been a vocal opponent of the president’s actions on climate change, said to applause. “That’s nothing to cheer about, because if it was only Trump that was a problem, we’d have it solved. But that’s not our only problem.

“The problem … is us,” he continued, The Bee reported. “It’s our whole way of life. It’s our comfort … It’s the greed. It’s the indulgence. It’s the pattern. And it’s the inertia.

“At the highest circles, people still don’t get it,” he said. “It’s not just a light rinse” that’s needed. “We need a total, I might say ‘brainwashing.’ “We need to wash our brains out and see a very different kind of world,” he said.

When speaking more than listening proves you to be the fool.

The Trump factor is bigger than Jerry thinks.

There was a time when burning heretics at the stake was fashionable in Rome.

The best thing that could happen to California is for Governor MOONBEAM to launch himself into orbit aboard the next available space shuttle!!!

Let me guess. Brown flew on a private jet from California to the Vatican.

Idiot says what?

Seriously, had they not been afraid to clear out the underbrush due to the unconstitutional EPA and stop illegals/bums from lighting hobo camp fires, they wouldn’t be in the mess they are today.

Uh the space shuttle program is over. The only things heading into near outer space these days are Russian spacecraft.

Former seminarian Brown ought to answer why he helped sponsor a spirit-cooking dinner by Marina Abramovic.

(A spirit cooking dinner is a direct mockery of the mass,
invented by Alistair Crowley.)

I thought Brown’s supporters were already brainwashed.

DANG!

Yes, he said that at the Vatican.

And over the past few weeks...there’s been a lot of ‘climate change’ brainwashing propaganda coming from the Vatican.

Moonbeam is running to his globalists handlers for last ditch support. It’s Blue Bayou Time Brown.

Strictly speaking, I’ll stand corrected on point.
However, President Trump has stated that he wants to reinvest in our space program. He even appointed Vice-President Pence to oversee our Space Council.

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t matter to me if Jerry Brown hopped aboard a Russian capsule—the sooner the better for CA.
