With the alleged demise of communism (actually the communists simply renamed themselves “progressives” and came here where most — but not ALL — of them became “democrats”) and elsewhere in Europe and the world), the left needed another “Boogieman” with which frighten the masses so they could be more easily herded into their lusted for and unattainable pseudo-egalitarian and Utopian “New World Order” (where some are “more equal than others”, thank you Mr. Orwell!).
Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) now “Climate Change” drew the short straw!
And the communists cum progressives have embraced “the environment” as their cause to gain power. None of the countries already ruled by “progressive” regimes have any intention of following any environmental restrictions. In fact, all of the communist countries are and always have been environmental cesspits.
Once they they gain power, they won’t give a damn about the people they rule over (that would be “us” by the way). And they don’t care whether we live in crap holes or not. Thus, they won’t actually care about silly nonsense like “environmental protection” that gets in the way of ruling over a mass of ignorant and dependent peasants.
Welcome to the New World Order.
Agreed, particularly on the “Alleged demise,” since we all should realize that Communism is “alive and well” in America.
Allen West had t right, but he was crucified for his stance by the media.
