Selling Fear: CNN Echoes Jerome Powell's Absurd Climate Fearmongering

CNN acted as an echo chamber for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as he tried to spin that “profound challenges” to the global economy are coming due to climate change.

CNN Business Lead Writer Matt Egan’s pro-Powell story led with a puff headline: “Fed chair Powell warns of 'profound challenges' posed by climate change.” Egan propagandized that Powell “acknowledged serious risks the climate crisis poses to the world economy and called for a coordinated response that is led in the United States by elected officials.” Powell reportedly told the climate-obsessed Green Swan Conference June 4: “‘There is no doubt that climate change poses profound challenges for the global economy and certainly the financial system.’”

Apparently, neither CNN nor Powell appeared to consider the Federal Reserve’s massive money printing policies as presenting equally “profound challenges” to the economy.

Add it to the pile of fearmongering that is America today.

Climate, inflation, guns, UFOs, locusts, China, Russia, COVID.

All with the same goal: To paralyze you with fear.

Let’s tax tomorrow’s weather. They are going to want to tax dirt and cracks in the asphalt next.
