In the 1980s, the environmentalists believed that using paper grocery bags harms the environment by excessive deforestation, so they moved in the direction of replacing the paper grocery bags with plastic ones. It made sense, plastic bags made from petroleum by-products were certainly cheaper and more plentiful.
Fast forward to 2021, environmentalist
governments in counties like Fairfax, Virginia, moved to replace the plastic
bags with paper bags by charging a tax of 5 cents per plastic bag previously
given free (included in the price because nothing is free). Furthermore, a fine
of $500 will be levied on anyone who dares to leave grass and other yard
clippings on curbside in plastic bags other than heavy paper bags.
Fossil fuels have become environmentally
and politically such a Democrat hot potato that they have been labeled public
enemy number one, including plastics.
What is Fairfax County and
other like-minded counties around the nation doing with the 5 cents tax per bag,
or 8 cents in other places? Will they fund the bloated Democrat government or
their guaranteed basic income schemes? And how is this tax going to solve the
manufactured global warming which gave rise to a very lucrative climate change
industry and a huge money-maker?
When Amazon and other online retailers
run out of places to buy cheap shipping boxes, I wonder which forests are they
going to cut down, and can excessive demand for paper and carboard boxes keep
up with supply and with tree growth?
The U.N. Security Council moved to
vote on December 13, 2021, on a resolution on climate change co-authored by
Ireland and Niger, under the guise that adverse climate change can “lead to …
social tensions …, exacerbating, prolonging, or contributing to the risk of
future conflicts and instability and posing a key risk to global peace,
security, and stability.” The concern is that climate change affects more
negatively “women, children, ethnic minorities, and the most vulnerable.” Climate

According to the New York Times, “the resolution,

criteria used by the most powerful U.N. agency to justify intervening in armed
conflicts around the world.” Russia
Blocks U.N. Move to Treat Climate as Security Threat - The New York Times

It is claimed that the U.N. resolution
was supported by 100 countries. Twelve of the fifteen Security Council countries
signed on, but Russia’s veto blocked its passage. China abstained, and India, with
its invited temporary membership status, also declared against the resolution.
It is obvious that all three countries have similar interests, the survival of fossil
fuels.
The U.S. government has been busy
replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar power, doing severe damage to its
economy and weakening its position in the world as a superpower. Biden closed
the Keystone pipeline on day one and interrupted supply. “Nearly 40% of America’s
electricity is produced from natural gas. When gas goes up, so does your
electric bill.” Varney
on the 'price' of Biden eliminating fossil fuels | Fox Business
The regime stopped giving new drilling
permits on federal land and interrupted off-shore drilling. U.S. became again
dependent on oil imports. During President
Trump’s administration, America became an oil exporter.
If the U.N. Security Council vote
would have been unanimous in favor of the resolution, then members who would fail
to take “drastic” measures recommended by “experts” to green their economies
immediately, then they would have been considered aggressors against the global
governance.
What might have been the expectations
to green a country’s economy urgently? To close coal mines, oil derricks,
refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and to give up fossil fuels immediately,
with huge economic costs and disastrous economic results for that country.
If a country would have refused to
comply, then the most intimidating measures against it would have been
justifiable, imposing a global dictatorship of the U.N. to save the planet from
climate change Armageddon.
So, Russia, China, and India, with one
fifth of the world’s land surface and almost half of its population, saved
fossil fuels for now. They viewed the manufactured global warming as a political
fantasy and the preservation of their economies and of their economic
development as most important for their peoples.
The West wants electric cars (they did
not do so well recently in one foot of snow stuck for 24 hours on I-95 in
Virginia), electric bikes, electric buses, ships, home and business heat and
light from solar panels and wind turbines (when the wind blows and the sun
shines, otherwise it is cold and dark). China wants coal burning power plants
and builds them at high rates. Russia depends on natural gas and pipelines. And
India is adding more coal mines.
Biden’s Green New Deal is neither new,
nor green, nor a deal, it is a political plan aimed at killing fossil fuels and
destroying the American economy that depends on the fossil fuels’ reliability
and consistency.
So, the global warming/climate change
scheme to enact global governance has been defeated so far. But the grand plan of
one world government might still be realized. To achieve it now, the globalists
are bringing out the pandemic green passports of Covid vaccination and
the social scoring system which is already underway in China and in America.
Restricting movement of the population
can be achieved in more ways than just taking away their fossil fuels; the government
can cause severe inflation, double gasoline and natural gas prices, make their
currency worth less, obstruct the supply chain of necessary goods and food, restrict
access to clinics and hospitals, and restrict domestic and international travel.
Under draconian Covid-19 lockdown rules, two years after the declared pandemic,
Australians cannot travel more than 29 km from home. How
Sydney residents can travel more than 5km from home for exercise (msn.com)
Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has
already enacted draconian rules that a person must show I.D. and a vaccine card
to enter any business in D.C. It is racist to be asked to show I.D. to vote but
it is necessary to enter a business.
If you have a green passport, you are
not just vaccinated and boostered, but it is proof that you are now a compliant
global citizen, and you can be given (by the global government) the privilege
to enter buildings, to fly, to travel, to board a ship, to ride a bus, a train,
you can use a bank, you can buy or rent a home, you can move from on town to
another, and you can attend school. The social scoring system works wonders with
population compliance and obedience under the Chinese communist dictatorship.
For now, Russia, China, and India have
saved fossil fuels. I am not sure who or what is going to save a weakened America
from its Marxist regime in control in Washington. They are busy printing money
for trillion-dollar pet social programs and to finance national debt v. GDP which
has reached astronomic proportions (127.61% federal and 141.24% total) at the
time of this writing. The military is busy hunting down fictional, Democrat-invented
systemic racism. U.S. National Debt

ReplyDeleteI hope you can access Joan Veon's book, "The United Nations' Global Straightjacket", possibly through the library. What is happening, and has been happening, for decades, is not a Democrat game plan, but a global game plan, disguised as a Democrat game plan. Both political parties have been destroying our constitutional republic, surreptitiously, and incrementally.
Who would have thought we'd be thanking Russia, China, and India, for saving us from the eradication of petroleum, coal, etc. BTW, the main reason the Keystone Pipeline was stopped, was so that Uncle Warren (Buffett), and his investors, could reap billions, by transporting oil, via his railroads. There was nothing 'green' about this move, except the green directed towards Buffett and his investors.

A very good article... It's true our government and elected officials are worried about sex and color and pandering for face masks when they need to prepare to go up against China and Russia. These are countries that show they wish to destroy Americans. China is busy buying up land and businesses in America and scheme to take over from within. Russia stockpiles weapons of mass destruction to obliviate us.
