Flashback 1992: Environmentalism Is a Tool for Socialists

RUSH: Climate change was a big, big deal last night. I want to go back to January 7, 1992. This is in the days before Fox News, before cable news became something other than CNN. It’s really before massive amounts of conservative talk radio existed. So this is back in the days where I used to be invited on shows like PBS Charlie Rose and so forth, ’cause I was the only national conservative voice they could bring on to try to expose as a kook or humiliate or what have you. Those days are over now. But the reason I want to go back to this is because the subject is climate change and global warming and all that.

I want to demonstrate my consistency to you. I want to demonstrate how old this issue is. I want to demonstrate how what happened last night in the Democrat Party or any day on the subject of climate change is something I have forecast and been predicting for the entire time I’ve been hosting the EIB Network. Charlie Rose, January 7, 1992, asked me why I talk so much about radical environmentalism and if I really believed that it was a guise for socialism. I was telling people this 26 years ago — well, 30, but this interview was 26, 28 years ago. Here is the bite…

ROSE: Listening to your show, there are a lot of people who believe you are now begin… I’m beginning to hear people call and say, “Are you as extreme as you sound?” Because you tend to say all — all environmentalists are extreme, and —

RUSH: I think that the Ted Dansons of the world who say, “We’ve only got 10 years left to clean up this planet or we’re not gonna be able to live, that’s extreme! But I’ll bet you if you had Ted Danson out here, you wouldn’t ask him about his extremism.

RUSH: He’d give some flowery answer about how he cares. “Ted, you’re so wonderful.” I think what you have are a bunch of… I think the militant environmental movement… I don’t it’s very large. The militant environmental movement is the home of the new socialists in America, and they’re after the punishment of America. America’s responsible for all this.

RUSH: Here’s how. Here’s how. Here’s how, Charlie. To socialize America, the first thing you do is you say, “America’s responsible for the destruction of the planet. It’s American lifestyles, hair spray. It’s smokestacks.”

ROSE: But are you saying that there’s no damage from hair spray from fluorocarbons and all that?

RUSH: I do not believe that we have the ability to destroy this marvelous creation. We can damage it.

RUSH: But we make a mess by existing, and we’re the ones who can fix it. And you need freedom, you need democracy, you need technological advancement. You don’t need rolling back of progress in order to fix these things, and that’s what these people want to do. Now, Charlie, I’m not an extremist. I get up in the morning. I read the papers.

RUSH: I look at the traditions and institutions of this country that I believe have made it great under assault and defend them.

RUSH: And that’s exactly what happens here. Every day, I get up and defend the things I believe in that are under attack. But you see, this is 1992, folks. Many of you were not born then. Many of you were not listening then, and that’s how long this issue has been going on, and I forecast it.

RUSH: By the way, there’s additional proof what I said to Charlie Rose, and I reminded everybody of this last week. The chief of staff for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a young trust funder Democrat by the name of Saikat Chakrabarti. That is the Anglicized pronunciation of his name. It might Saikat, might be Saikat, might be Saikat. But to me it looks like Saikat Chakrabarti. He’s the chief of staff. This is a Washington Post story, and he was talking to Jay Inslee’s climate director. The guy’s name is Sam Ricketts.

He said to Inslee’s guy, “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.” It was an economic thing! So now we’ve got Saikat Chakrabarti admitting it, and we’ve got Inslee admitting it, who’s probably parroting now Chakrabarti, ’cause The Squad’s running everything in the Democrat Party. But, anyway, they’re out there admitting that climate change is about every “progressive issue” including the economy and racism, and “environmental justice.”

January 10, 1871: Pall Mall Gazette – “Imaginary Change of Climate”
“…a plentiful crop of speculation from weather prophets and projectors, and half-
instructed meteorologists…We have often noticed…every season is sure to be
‘extraordinary,’ almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest
or hottest ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to
exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.”

Whacko enviro-mentally ill were using their movement to learn what will work and won’t work. We are seeing the benefits of their efforts in many different ways. First, the LBFHEAKH groups are using the tactics of the enviro-mentally ill. Second, then it was ramped up after successfully getting protected status by going after Christians via the bakers and Hobby lobby. Now they are using these tactics against our illustrious President DJT. The systematic attacking of past American history, Lastly, with the Black Lives Matter movement beginning in 0bummers admin, the Antifa deranged lunatics are using this same model but going a step further by probing what type of violence they can get away with (as was promulgated through an earlier article on this very subject). All of these are linked. They are the same people who have moved on to other positions in politics. To say moveon.org is any different than antifa is wrong. To say Social Justice Democrats of America is any different than Moveon.org is wrong. They are all linked and all promoting the same thing, nope not socialism, the destruction of how America is currently constructed.
