The mysterious case of AOC’s scrubbed 'Green New Deal'
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 2/9/19 | Susan Ferrechio

On Feb. 5, the congressional office of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a new blog entry under “energy issues” detailing her "Green New Deal" proposal and answering “frequently asked questions.”

The page, announcing an 8:30 a.m. launch on Feb. 7, is now gone, and a top adviser suggested Friday it was actually authored and distributed by the GOP. By the afternoon of Feb. 7, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., removed the document from her website without explanation but following backlash and even ridicule over the radical plans outlined within it, including a call to "eliminate emissions from cows or air travel" — which would functionally ban the latter — and to provide “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work."

Check out this bluster...

(2) the goals described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (1) (referred to in this resolution as the “Green New Deal goals”) should be accomplished through a 10-year national mobilization (referred to in this resolution as the “Green New Deal mobilization”) that will require the following goals and projects—

(E) upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximum energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification;

Stop for just a minute and think of just how much this one thing alone would cost!

After rereading your comment and letting it sink in, if the KBG is behind this then apparently they are out to destroy the dem party. Oops! Trump/ Russian collusion. 😳

Go back to late 2011...Russia...in the middle of the legislative election. Facebook, Twitter, Instragram....all this social media has arrived and peppered up the anti-Putin voters. I think Putin turned and begin to realize the creature that had come to damage Russian politics.

So three months pass, and the Russian Presidential election comes up. Same ingredients....US social media giants trying to play and affect this outcome. After that March 2012 election is concluded, I think Putin rounded up IT experts, the billionaire’s ‘club’, and the KGB. The intention was to pay back not only Obama, Hillary and the Democrats....but the American political system deserved some punishment.

My belief is that all of these Democrats and Republicans...along with McCain, AOC, the various lobbyists in the middle, and journalists...were led down this path. They never understood what they were doing...just thinking this was part of some bigger scheme of the party apparatus.

All of this social warrior stuff, the Black Lives Matter agenda, the entanglements...I suspect is by design. It’s payback for 2011/2012.

“I saw this guy Hockett on with Carlson. He is one slimy character”


with a very bad wig ... he denied everything much to Carlson’s visual amazement ... Carlson said he would follow up these claims ... it will be interesting to learn how the GOP accessed their website and posted a ‘bogus’ article without the site admin’s OK.

(4) to achieve the Green New Deal goals and mobilization, a Green New Deal will require the following goals and projects— (O) providing all people of the United States with—
(i) high-quality health care;
(ii) affordable, safe, and adequate housing;
(iii) economic security; and
(iv) clean water, clean air, healthy and affordable food, and access to nature.

Who is going to get behind this?
(G) ensuring that the Green New Deal mobilization creates high-quality union jobs that pay prevailing wages, hires local workers, offers training and advancement opportunities, and guarantees wage and benefit parity for workers affected by the transition;

The hand that feeds you...

I don’t believe it for a minute.

First off, the feckless GOP would not approve such a thing. Not sporting old chap!

Second, AOC is a stupid Leftist. The entire Green New Deal IS, in fact, made up of various utterances heard around the Internet from Leftists, Greenies and SJWs. Nothing said they hadn’t already actually advocated.

Third, the government does indeed protect their privileged IT infrastructure well. If it was this EASY to hack, it would already be done—to Pelosi, Chuck U Schumer, Pocahontas, etc., etc.

1. Looks like he just rolled out of bed. Could have least run a comb through his hair and put on a clean shirt.

2. Sounded high. "Right? Right?! Right?-right?!"

“The mysterious case of AOC’s scrubbed ‘Green New Deal’”

The Dem party is wanting her to go away. Sounds like some agents of the Dem party may be behind this?

‘Providing all the people of the United States with...’

Notice it’s not United States citizens, but “ all the people of the United States”. Illegals would be considered people of the United States if they were living here.

Any video of AOC telling ‘the People’ what we deserve, with the Green New Deal?
