Since the beginning, climate change skeptics have said that the hysteria of the man-made global warming movement, aside from being based on manifestly shoddy and often dishonest science, was in fact a Leftist political gambit. The Communists, having failed to win the world over with a Cold War had regrouped and were seeking to win it over with a warm war. By targeting Western (that is, capitalist) nations as the evildoers in the worlds imminent boiling destruction, and then playing on the fear, guilt and ignorance of those same Western nations, the Communists . . . er, global warming saviors . . . announced a solution: the West should give up its wealth by transferring it en masse to poor nations. The West should also give up its lifestyle, by abandoning electricity, gas and even toilet paper. The West, in other words, should give true meaning to global warming by engaging in self-immolation.
The last month, however, has seen this Communist-inspired house of cards collapse as quickly as the Soviet bloc did back in 1989. First came ClimateGate, which revealed to the whole world the fact that the most ardent climate scientists were, in fact, ideologues who cared little about science, and a great deal about achieving a political goal. They lied about their data, destroyed their facts, and systematically set out to muzzle and destroy anyone who disagreed with them.
Second came word from Russia that the same scientists (and please understand that these scientists are responsible for almost all of the conclusions on which the hysteria was based) cherry-picked climate data from Russia. This is no small thing. Russia covers 12% of the earth, and its been the Siberian tree rings that have been at the centerpiece of the warmies claims.
And today comes news that definitively rips the mask off of this whole thing. When Hugo Chavez, a man who seeks to turn his beleaguered nation into a Communist workers paradise, with himself as leader for life, announces in Copenhagen that capitalism is the real culprit, and is met, not with silence or boos, but with deafening cheers, everything becomes clear:
President Chavez brought the house down.
When he said the process in Copenhagen was not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isnt that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship down with imperial dictatorships he got a rousing round of applause.
But then he wound up to his grand conclusion 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ our revolution seeks to help all people socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, thats the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell .lets fight against capitalism and make it obey us. He won a standing ovation.
Let me translate Chavezs speech: The capitalist pigs in the United States are the enemies of the people and need to be destroyed. Chavezs speech, in other words, is pitch-perfect Communist Cold War rhetoric. During the Cold War, however, non-Communist bloc nations would have been politely silent, even if they agreed with his sentiments. Thanks to the brainwashing of global warming, however, people no longer feel compelled to hide their hatred for America and their desire for its destruction.
If Barack Obama had anything approaching human decency, he would use this Chavez speech and, more importantly, the reaction to this Chavez speech as the justification for refusing to go to Copenhagen. He wont though. Obama has made it clear, time and time again, that he agrees with the Chavez speech. He too believes that America is the cause of the worlds woes. He too believes that America should be de-energized and debased, both because it would make the world a better place and because America deserves that kind of humiliation. Chavezs speech, rather than being the straw that should break the Obami back on climate change, is simply the spoken expression of of their innate beliefs.
Incidentally, I realize that I erred somewhat when I compared whats happening now to 1989. The difference between now and then is the media. Although the media always hewed left, and was steadily dragging Americans into the relativist world of Communism is just another way of life, it was still able to recognize the shattering drama of the Solidarity movement and the physical destruction of the Berlin Wall. These were visible symbols of a decades-long conflict, and their occurrence made for good TV.
Things are entirely different here and now. The media, with almost no exceptions, had bought wholesale into the religion of Climate Change. Media members dont want to see their God fail. Additionally, theres no good TV here. Instead of hundreds, and then thousands, of Polish dockworkers facing down Soviet guns, or brave people climbing a wall, again to the backdrop of loaded guns, here are have somewhat complex scientific discussions, a few disgraced academics, and Hugo Chavez (a man media people find charismatic). They dont want the American people to see or know anything about all of this and, because it lacks good visuals, its easy to hide. Theres a revolution taking place, and the media is doing its damndest to bury it.
So folks, its up to us here, the ones in the blogosphere, to get word of the revolution out. Bloggers need to write, readers need to email blog posts and news articles to their less news obsessive friends. All of us need to put intriguing notes on facebook, linking to articles that will enlighten a population kept in the dark. We need to write letters to our local editors chastising them (politely, of course), for missing out on the biggest story, so far, of the 21st Century bigger even than the election of a vaguely black, completely red, man into the White House. The one thing I suggest is that you dont use the I told you so approach. People tend not to respond well to that kind of thing. Its much better, in terms of piquing peoples interest, to strike a tone of incredulous amazement, or excited sense of discovery, or even vague sadness.
Theres a revolution happening here. We have the weapons to destroy the Communist movements second attempt to destroy the Western world. Dont sit on the sidelines. Do something!
To the media and the Left, it's not a story....just as it's not a story for you or I to go to work in the day, raise children or go shopping, destroying Capitalism and Western culture and society is merely part of getting along with their lives and furthering their goals. The only 'story', so far, as far as the media is concerned, is the unfortunate and slightly messy leak of the emails. This they hope to correct in time by circling their wagons and either ignoring it or deriding it as irrelevant...a tactic that's always worked for them in the past.
One thing that they continually underestimate is the power of alternative media and the intelligence of most people. The Left's arrogance will ultimately be their undoing.
Well I hope it gets out of the bag here too. We are in a new Cold War. Right here. Domestic Communists disguised as Democrats have pulled off a coup in Washington. The sooner people figure it out the better. These are not Liberals..they are Communists. So far it is peaceful co-existance.
Bttt
Czech President called the green movement “The new communism.” I agree...it does seem to be the new approach of modern communism.
Here is the letter to the editor I wrote that was printed today. It was written in response to an editorial.
Readers have to admire the gall of eco-zealot Fred Musante (Politics at> the end of the World, (12/10/09) who doubles down on the demand that American taxpayers submit to UN green regulation despite the fact that the
man-man global warming hoax has been exposed. Musante’s position is that even though the scientific data used to promote the hoax was fabricated, tactics employed to “hide the decline” and the peer review process corrupted and skeptics silenced, citizens should willingly lower their standard of living, cough up trillions of dollars, lose their jobs, practice meaningless green rituals like using CFL bulbs and drive clown cars on the oft chance that a warmist end-of-the world fantasy occurs.

If the global warming hoax was the first time eco-zealots used alarmist tactics to advance their agenda, maybe taxpayers would be sympathetic, however we have seen this movie before. The acid rain hoax that was supposed to destroy the forests in the northeast was a complete lie.
Billions were spent to solve a non existent problem. The lumber industry in Oregon that provided hundreds of thousands of jobs was destroyed based on the spotted owl extinction hoax. The spotted owl data was just made up.
The worst hoax of all was perpetrated by eco-goddess Rachel Carson who spread the lie that the cheap, benign pesticide DDT harmed the environment, condemning millions of Africans to death by malaria. Rachel Carson joins> the ranks of greatest mass murderers in the 20th century along with Mao,
Stalin and Hiltler.

The green movement promoted by Musante is a combination of a pagan religion and communism whose goal is to impoverish and enslave America.. Instead of paying a ridiculous green tax as Musante proposes, I say we roll back every
> eco-regulation and tax back to 1970 when this dangerous, pagan nonsense began. Let’s remove the self imposed economic chains America struggles to carry and return her to a prosperous, happy time: 1970 BAG - before Al Gore.

I guess then Al Goreleone should be tried for treason.
***To the media and the Left, it’s not a story.***
It would be a story if they had a smidgeon of scientific education, inquiry, curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, and a hunger for truth.
Throughout time, writers have been our historians. These morons with microphones are not even close - they are failing miserably. This may very well be the end of recorded history.
Indeed....merely a different path to the same goal. Any failures with this plan will merely cause them to look for a different path, never a different goal. They will never rest, even after we are all in chains. This is their religion; this is their life.
We have long known that the envirowhackos were watermelons.
Thank you :-)
Indeed...from the article:
Since the beginning, climate change skeptics have said that the hysteria of the man-made global warming movement, aside from being based on manifestly shoddy and often dishonest science, was in fact a Leftist political gambit.
A well-crafted letter; thank you for posting :-)
He needs to join the very long line of Leftist politicians - and Presidents - who 'should' be tried as well.
Accurately recorded history, anyway.
One naturally wonders how much of history prior to the development of the Internet, the blogosphere and talk radio is a complete Leftist fabrication.
