Who Is Behind the “Green New Deal”?
Front Page ^ | February 11, 2019

A look at the Sunrise Movement and its socialist dreams.

The Sunrise Movement (SM) is a 501(c)(4) environmental advocacy organization that, while denying that it is loyal to either “the right or left” side of the political spectrum, in fact throws its full support behind left-wing Democratic Party candidates and agendas. Most notably, SM endorses the enactment of a “Green New Deal,” environmental legislation whose multifaceted mission is to eliminate all fossil-fuel use from the U.S. economy (in favor of renewables like wind and solar energy) by the year 2030; create a “basic income program” and a federal jobs guarantee that would provide a “living wage” to every person who wants one; implement a government-run, single-payer health care system; and “transform our economy and society” in a manner that will restore its ecological and moral integrity.

Rooted in the premise that the greenhouse gas emissions associated with human industrial activity are a major cause of potentially catastrophic “climate change,” SM is composed chiefly of what it terms “an army of young people” who aim to take “immediate and decisive action to transform our energy system” and thereby address the “climate crisis” that threatens to consign humanity to “a future ravaged by wildfires, heatwaves, and hurricanes.” In pursuit of this objective, SM vows to “end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics.” That “handful of wealthy oil and gas executives,” says the organization, “will stop at nothing to squeeze the last bit of money out of the earth” – no matter how many “children must breathe toxic air,” or how many “parents must choose between a dangerous and polluting job, and no job at all.”

The Green New Deal becomes the “Green New STEAL” when exposed to sunlight.

If my historic reading of some UN position papers is accurate, then all this was part of the push on the Paris Accords: social and economic world equality made possible by controlling our climate. You see, social justice is only possible with economic equality made possible if we save ourselves from man-made climate change.

Three beautiful pillars: social, economic by means of climate.

I don’t see the racial part of it:

“The outline states up front that a Green New Deal must not only “promote justice and equity” but also seek to repair harm and prevent future injury to those most vulnerable to climate change and the fossil fuel economy — namely communities of color, indigenous peoples, migrants, rural communities, the poor, people with disabilities, the elderly, and young people.”

It is a racial money-grab - and now being criticized because it didn’t include sexual deviants among those most harmed by “global warming”. You can’t make this stuff up; once the Supreme Court allowed legalized discrimination against whites to go forward (via affirmative action), this result was inevitable - “we” owe “them”, and it is an economic war whites are losing.

Maybe AOC should be asked what she thinks of Soros and if she’s ever met him.

They are upset that poor people live near factories, mines, refineries, mills, docks, wharves, and power plants — because that’s where the blue collar jobs are.

They are upset that factories, mills, power plants and refineries don’t get built in Beverly Hills, Palos Verdes Estates, Chappaqua and Fisher Island, Florida.

Then why are they mentioning race? I live an hour south of the old iron-mining region along the NY/NJ border, and an hour east of the coal country of PA - no “people of color” involved in those endeavors. In my town here in NJ, Scots were brought over to work in factories and mills in the 19th century - no “people of color” there, either.

It’s a BS hoax; many of the problems for the black permanent underclass are related to the fact that after they moved to factory areas the factories closed anyway. Too many simply never adapted - and still won’t.
