To a great deal of mainstream media (MSM) fanfare, Democratic star Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) on Thursday laid out the allegedly goals of a “Green New Deal” they say is meant to combat ‘climate change’ by making the United States reliant on energy technologies that produce zero emissions within a decade.
But the MSM ignored a revelation Wednesday by a former top staffer for “AOC” that the true objective of the plan isn’t just to achieve a renaissance in clean energy but to essentially steal the wealth of rich Americans and redistribute it, Venezuela-style, throughout the country — that is, until the wealth runs out.
As Reuters reports, the Green New Deal is likely to be pushed heavily by Democrats in the run-up to the 2020 elections. Ocasio-Cortez, Markey, and other Democrats envision a government-led investment effort (read taxpayer-financed, not private industry-financed) on a large scale to develop clean energy infrastructure while transforming the U.S. economy.

She’s been in office for a month and she already has a former top staffer.
After POTUS’ term is up, that’s exactly where we’ll be as a country.
But whoever is in office after that will not have the sense to listen to Not Sure.
Even that guy in the chair is smarter than your average lefty voter.
It was never about climate and MSM are full participators in the money/power grab.
At the current level of approximately 400 ppm we still live in a CO2 starved world. Atmospheric levels 15 times greater existed during the Cambrian period (about 550 million years ago) without known adverse effects.
Yep; but many, maybe most, Millennials and Gen X aged people don't realize this is nothing but a scam. Many may even approve of it because they think they will get some of that rich people money. They won't but they will be poorer if the socialists get their way.
A nationwide hard push to teach people about the consequences of socialism and scams like this are what is needed. Worldwide even.
Occasional Kotex is a watermelon, green on the outside but RED in the inside.
Almost all of the left’s “new” ideas come from a little tome’ published by Marx and Engles over a century ago.
Do that and the wealthy will have to buy Toyotas and Fords. Old vehicles will be
kept longer. People that build high end merchandise will be out of jobs because
the rich won’t buy. Money will go offshore. Housing defaults will increase.
Theft will increase in ‘survival crimes’. Burglars will be shot. Litigation and
kangaroo trials will overload the courts. Jails will be loaded. Communist
intentions met, Americans get unintended consequences. Economic war plan.
This doesn't end until we are all in chains while the Dictatorship of the Proletariat run the joint and vacation endlessly in their private "nature" resorts and dachas.
“...by presenting a comprehensive, 10-year plan...”
5 year plans are so last century.
I’m sure the GOP-e thinks they were just mis-quotted.
They are right in tune with the folks at the UN:
United Nations climate official Ottmar Edenhofer:
“One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.
We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,”
and
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change:
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.
This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”
The issue is not climate change but the socialist revolution.
As the elites, they would live the high life off of "other people's money" while the peons like us deplorables would pound sand with the dregs of society.
Climate change has always been about the socialist revolution and the redistribution of wealth.
