Democrats hope Biden uses the climate to takeover and destroy the economy
American Thinker ^ | 20 Jul, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

With people wearying of the endless “COVID emergency,” the administration is allegedly pivoting back to climate change to buff up its unlimited powers.

If there was one lesson the Democrats learned from 2020 forward, it was that, if the government convinces voters there’s an emergency, the voters will let the government get away with murder. That’s why there is a huge push from the left for Biden to declare a “climate emergency” and, under that rubric, end fossil fuels in America on an accelerated timeline. If Biden were to do this—and to get away with doing it—America is over. Kaput. The great experiment will have ended.

The Washington Post seems to have been first with the story. I don’t have, and won’t get, a subscription to that rag, but Ryan Maue sums up the madness:

In a blueprint, the Center for Biological Diversity outlined executive actions under a "climate emergency"

Halt crude oil exports Stop oil and gas drilling Restrict international trade and private investment in fossil fuels Order defense industry to ramp up clean energy tech pic.twitter.com/tEa6xTuHuW

— Ryan Maue (@RyanMaue) July 19, 2022 Implementing these key climate emergency executive actions would have potential dangerous economic and national security implications.

It would be quite insane.

— Ryan Maue (@RyanMaue) July 19, 2022 The Hill has also reported on Biden’s plans. The very first sentence reminds us why I think any such action should be unconstitutional:

The Biden administration is considering the declaration of a climate change emergency in response to congressional inaction on the issue.

In other words, because the People, through their elected representatives, are not buying into the increasingly hollow claim about an imminent climate disaster, Biden is contemplating an authoritarian attack on the American economy.

The strategy of orchestrated crisis. I remember, many years ago, being on a business trip in the northeast USA and hearing a radio announcer excited to report about a UN request for proposals for software that would analyze global warming. The release stated that software submissions would be evaluated based on how well they predicted that global warming will occur. I remember thinking “this is such a planned result that no one will be stupid enough to believe it.”

Biden’s climate emergency could and should be the moment that the Rubber meets the Road.

The money I lost since the rats stole the 2020 election was enough for me to retire this fall. Now with this emergency crap, my retirement age went to 67.

Mark my words, they are coming after our retirement funds as soon as they get this climate change crap under their belts. It will have to be funded somehow.

Liberals have long advocated for making muni bonds taxable and have gone as far as taking all of your stocks, bonds, etc and writing you an IOU with a UST equivalent as your income until you die....i.e. you can’t pass it on. Lots of decorating of lamp posts in my AO if that ever happens.

Climate change and environmentalism is the new home of Marxists. They don’t give a damn about the environment. It is only a front for them. They are Marxists who hate free market capitalism and are only interested in transforming this country to a Marxist based socialist country. First they have to put our economy in the dirt. They are not dumb. They know that an abundance of energy at reasonable prices is the mothers-milk of free market capitalism. So that is why the administration began attacking our energy production and distribution on day one. Conservative analysts and commentators need to understand this and convey the truth to the people. Don’t let the Marxists hide behind climate change B.S..

Sounds like a dictatorship to me... Congress as rubber stamp OR Biden does it anyhow.

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.”

So true. It's important to remember we are not dealing with American politicians on the left (that includes RINO's) we are dealing with traitors who should have their citizenship stripped from them then placed on ships going to a communist country where these MarxTard's will fit right in. Places like N. Korea, poor areas of Communist China and Venezuela. Send some to Iran for good measure.

Any of these “emergency “ measures would quickly tank an already floundering economy. Gasoline prices could move to $10 gallon, oil stocks would plummet as would pension funds that invested in them and shortages of home heating oil could mean a very cold winter for many. If Biden thinks these executive actions will somehow save the Democrats from red tsunami in November he is mistaken.
