Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.
— Winston Churchill

Greta Thunberg, the severely mentally ill spokestroll for the world’s Global Warmists, is the perfect face for the hypocrisy and selective actions of the Warmists as a whole. Only certain countries are faced with their outrage and have to deal with Leftist politicians pandering to them. Other, somehow always non-White, countries can, do, and will act and “pollute” as the please with no reasonable fear of backlash.
Then, the entirety of the AGW alarmism and activism has almost always been more about wealth redistribution and equity than it’s been about Climate Change. And it’s been far more about padding the pockets of a small number of businessmen and politicians than that.

That sums up the 70’ish years of Gaza and Israel. The Israelites grew a lush garden and a high-tech powerhouse out of the desert, whereas the Gazans dug down deep into the some of darkest depths of human evil. Each moved forward according to their proclivities and faiths with equal fervor.

That’s the so-oft ignored, forgotten, or outright dismissed fact. The years that President Trump was POTUS were years without near as many foreign entanglements or wars than during any President in even relatively recent history. President Trump’s first time was a time of relative peace, but a maligned peace that his and our domestic enemies despised.
But then, it’s not that surprising that Democrats refuse to acknowledge how much President Trump advanced the cause of peace on Earth. They’d rather see the world burn than admit that President Trump was good and right.

That Foreign Aid is just a fancy, disingenuous, and legally defensible way for politicians to say, “money laundering” is a factual way of defining the term and practice. It’s not the only correct way of defining – hence why I’ve used “factual” instead of “honest” – but it does correct identify the reality on the ground since a large number of politicians do essentially use it that way, even if the goal of the Foreign Aid is at least somewhat legitimate.
And no, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Democrats, I’m not stating this in a vacuum of ignorance or through being influenced by the media or certain internet pundits. I worked for many years for employers that made the majority of their income off of Foreign Aid. I saw who the major investors were. I watched the changes in said investments match whether or not a contract would be won by employers. I took the meetings with politicians and dealt with their very specific questions regarding my deployments. And, I testified in one of the hearings when they actually got gigged for influence peddling and corruption.
This is a large part of why politicians get wealthy while in office. It’s also why any and all reforms they enact upon themselves of pro forma slaps on the wrists without any impact or deterrence.

That’s the actual truth. China ignores Climate Change because China doesn’t fear Climate Change since they already have what most people still think of as a Communist government. And their lack of fear is sensible and right since there has never been a single piece of Climate Change legislation, treaties, or anything that didn’t explicitly exempt China from inclusion or enforcement. And this is despite the fact that China is the largest “climate polluter,” making up approximately 30% of global emissions, more than the combined output of American and European Union as a whole.
But titularly Communist nations like China and the various Socialist nations – admittedly, most of them are “Developing” nations – always seem to get a pass when it to anyone’s, especially the UN’s, anti-AGW efforts. This is because reversing or mitigating Climate Change has never been the primary point of Climate Activism at the geopolitical level. It’s always been about wealth redistribution and lowering Western people’s living standards in order to combat “income inequality.” It’s always been about Global Socialism as a pathway to eventual Global Communism.
Those of you who believe in Climate Change as it has been presented – a hoax-in-detail can still be true in broader context – should really be much, much more pissed off at this than the rest of us. Your fears are the ones being manipulated in order to achieve something other than the salvation you believe they’re striving for. Really! You’re trying to save the planet, even if it means great sacrifice, and the politicians and global agencies you’re supporting are trying to further an economic agenda instead of an environmental one. You should be so pissed off about that.
Think about it. What’s the best alternative? That they’re not trying for wealth redistribution, but are merely exempting China, a resource and manufacturing powerhouse, so that Western nations can outsource their emissions there, thereby lowering their numbers and meeting their emission goals?
