Saule Omarova, Biden’s pick for Treasury post, wants coal, oil and gas industries ‘to go bankrupt’
New York Post ^ | 11/12/2021 | Lee Brown

President Biden’s controversial, Soviet-born pick to lead a key branch of the Treasury Department admitted in a newly unearthed video that she “wants” traditional fuel industries “to go bankrupt.”

Saule Omarova, Biden’s pick to be the comptroller of the currency, was filmed calling coal, oil and gas “troubled industries” in which “a lot of the small players … are going to probably go bankrupt.”

“At least, we want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change, right?” she said in the now-viral clip.

The Cornell University law professor made the remarks in February during a “Social Wealth Seminar” event hosted by the Jain Family Institute, a nonprofit research organization, Fox News said.

By Thursday, they had been viewed more than 1.5 million times on Twitter after being shared by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF).

She’s a fit with Brandon because he wants the whole country to go bankrupt.

We’re suppose to acknowledge and consent to the authority of the foreign commie pie-faced bitch? I don’t think so…. My first ancestor put his foot in Virginia in 1629. Go back to Russia and F yourself, c*nt.

These policies are NOT new at all, and in fact Obama ran on the same things. He was even voice recorded saying as much ‘behind the scenes’ and was still elected. Twice. Democrats are also all about terrorism now, from the virus their communist Chinese overlords provided to the BLMantifa thugs they control. I saw an article over at TheFederalist detailing that, “California Desert Towns Struggle To Survive As Violent, Illegal Drug Cartels Take Over”, so give that a look. The flooding of America with illegal aliens via the cartels is just another way democRATs terrorize Americans. Meanwhile while we go off of fossil fuels China is increasing their use of them, and paying less too (since there is more available).

As intended. Democrats are insidious, not stupid.

Clearly, my Dad was mistaken when he dropped his bombs on Hanoi. He should have been dropping them on Berkeley and Martha’s Vineyard.

Her and AOC’s “Green New Deal” advisor Robert C. Hockett:

National Investment Authority

Omarova is noted for her support for a “National Investment Authority” (NIA), a proposal she has likened to New Deal-era programs. The proposal was first developed in 2015 in conjunction with Robert C. Hockett, a fellow Professor of Law at Cornell Law School. Omarova has stated that an NIA would be responsible for “devising, financing, and executing a long-term national strategy of economic development and reconstruction.”

The proposed NIA would be made up of two components: a “National Infrastructure Bank (NIB), as well as and a National Management Corporation (which she nicknames “Nicki Mac”), which would serve to invest in green technologies. A 2020 article published in The New York Times reported that the proposed NIA would function in a manner similar to the Federal Reserve, and compared the NIA framework to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation created in 1932.

Slow Joe's Politburo continues to place people "in charge" of things they want to destroy. David Chipman for head of the ATF is a perfect example. So is Garland at the DOJ. Buttigieg at Transportation may be incompetent or malevolent, it's hard to tell the difference. Now Yellen at Treasury wants this nasty little minion to have the power to ruin things all for the Greater Good.

The plan here is simple - get enough radicals in office to ride out the loss of Congress in 2022. Once in, they're there to stay and have two more years to wreck everything they can. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

For Christmas Biden & Co. are going to send all of us a little red book just like Mao Tse’tung did and for the bonus we all get the same green nylon jackets.

Coal? She signed her death warrant. No way is Manchin going to vote to confirm. He will not be allowed back in the state if he does. 51 to 49, she goes down in flames.

We have prided ourselves on being an open society that allows all ideas to be spoken, all philosophies to be heard, and all political ideologies to promote themselves. This is in some ways admirable, and consistent with liberty/freedom, but has been overdone to the point of being dangerous and self-destructive.

Our open society has become the equivalent of a door without any locks, a door that allows those with bad intent to enter almost at will.

We should have banned Communism in the US, and made it impossible for socialists to gain a foothold here. It should have been encoded in our laws.

Further, our society and culture should have continuously and vigilantly neutralized all attempts by the international left and their Trojan horses within our own nation to spread pro-socialist / pro-Communist propaganda throughout our society. Those who did so should have been treated like insurrectionists and foreign agents - because many were.

We no longer have a society/nation/culture in which the best ideas are the ones we will adopt. There is no honest vetting. We have a controlled and biased media, and our entertainment and educational institutions have become almost monolithic in their projected world view and what they will allow to be seen or heard.

To remedy all of this will require bold action, including permanently taking away the power of those who want to control what people think. Their stature must be revoked, and their ability to spread misinformation and untruths must be irreversibly nullified.

Michigan is the way it is because of a few cities like Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Damage?? You think her intended program of building camps all over America is bad? Think of the jobs that will be created! Think of the order that will return to society! No more homeless, no more dissidents always causing trouble, no more unemployment! Get with the program, comrade!

If she is a typical Democrat then she has several scandals that need to be brought to light. They always do.
