Greta Thunberg
became the poster child for climate hysteria and fraud by sailing
across the Atlantic in a supposedly "zero-carbon" yacht, the
Malizia
II, which in fact was made out of petroleum products from stem to
stern,
as pointed out by CFACT:
Malizia II
does not have a diesel auxiliary engine, as other boats in its
class do. It drags turbines through the water and uses solar to
recharge batteries.
This does not make it
"Green."
Malizia II,
like the rest of the yachts in the Imoca 60 class, is
constructed from high-tech carbon fiber composites to make it
ultra light and fast. It is the ultimate play thing of the
wealthy elite.
These boats are made of hydrocarbons, not to
mention all the energy it took to make them.
Carbon fiber
composites are primarily made from propane and petroleum. This
boat was pumped out of the ground.
Like the current
clown-car group of Democrat presidential candidates and Hollywood
liberals who fly private jets to climate conferences, Thunberg's
fossil-fuel supported stunt was not about climate and not about real
sacrifice.
It was about shaming the
industrial revolution and
capitalism...
It is not about
climate.
It is about creating a
climate of fear, a picture of
imminent planetary doom that can only be forestalled by government's
control of every aspect of our lives from the energy we use, to the
food we eat, to the land we use, to our modes of transportation.
Everything from
cows to combustion engines are bad.
That is the mantra
behind both the
Green New Deal and Thunberg's trip. And if it sounds
familiar, it should, for it is the direct descendant of the mother
of all sustainable development plans known as
Agenda 21.
Agenda 21, as
Investor's Business Daily (IBD)
noted in a
June 7, 2012 editorial, was a fundamental assault on the basis for the freedoms and
democracy that we enjoy.
It is all for surrendering those rights on
the altar of "social justice" and planetary 'salvation':
One of those
is property rights.
"Land... cannot be treated as an ordinary
asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures
and inefficiencies of the market," Agenda 21 says.
"Private land
ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and
concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social
injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the
planning and implementation of development schemes."
The planet is in
peril, don't you know, and humanity is the plague infecting it.
The globalists are
hammering out an agenda that will determine not only how many people
there will be, but where they will live, how they will live, and
what governments will permit them to do in order to save the planet.
Agenda 21 failed
in its announced goal to eradicate poverty and save the earth, but
it did serve as a justification for world governments to enhance
their power at the expense of the freedom of their people.

Its successor,
Agenda 2030, is no less ambitious in its goal for global government
control, according to the
preamble of the document outlining the agenda:
The 17
Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are
announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new
universal Agenda.
They seek
to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete
what these did not achieve.
They seek
to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender
equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
They are
integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions
of sustainable development: the economic, social and
environmental.
Agenda 2030 was
the death knell for freedom and independence around the world.
It is a blueprint
for world government of
the United Nations, by the U.N. and for the U.N...
Its
goals and targets leave no aspect of human life and activities
immune from power grabs by government. The Green New Deal will make
it happen here.
President
Obama
embraced Agenda 2030 when
he addressed the Sustainable Development conference:
"We suffer no
illusions of the challenges ahead, but we understand this is
something that we must commit ourselves to," Obama said in a
speech to the assembly.
"In doing so,
we recognize that our most basic bond - our common humanity -
compels us to act.
An
impoverished child in a distant slum or a neighborhood not that
far from here is just as equal, just as worthy, as any of our
children, as any of us, as any head of government or leader in
this great hall."
Private land
ownership and land use are a prime target...
What property we
can develop, what energy we can extract, and what houses we can
build are fair game. But private property is a prime tenet of
American freedom - something Democrats and globalists seek to
eliminate or control.
Alabama was the
first state to recognize the threat of Agenda 21 and ban its
implementation with the sovereign state.
As
Investor's Business Daily, one of the few national publications
to highlight this threat, noted:
After
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's stunning triumph over the excesses
and abuses of public-sector unions, the London Telegraph's James
Delingpole, an indefatigable opponent of global warming fraud,
opined in a piece titled, "How
Wisconsin and Alabama Helped Save the World," that we should
take note of,
"an
equally important but perhaps less well-publicized victory
won in the Alabama House and Senate over the U.N.'s malign
and insidious Agenda 21."
Agenda 21 is
one of those compacts, like Law of the Sea, Kyoto and
New START,
that are supported by an apologetic administration with a
fondness for the redistribution of American power and wealth on
a local and global scale.
…Alabama
recently passed Senate Bill 477 unanimously in both of its
houses.
The legislation bars the taking of private property in
Alabama without due process and says that,
"Alabama
and all political subdivisions may not adopt or implement
policy recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently
infringe or restrict private property rights without due
process, as may be required by policy recommendations
originating in or traceable to Agenda 21."
In a piece on
Watt's Up With That, Nancy Thorner calls the Green New Deal,
"the
boldest tactic yet to advance U.N. Agenda 21":
Enter the
Green New Deal, the boldest tactic yet, as proposed by AOC
when the Democrat Socialists took control of the House in
the 2018 midterms.
The origins
and the purpose of the Green New Deal are not unlike the
positive-sounding objectives of Agenda 21:
to protect
the environment and make a better life for all of us.
In that
the forces behind Agenda 21 were becoming both impatient and
scared because after 27 years Agenda 21 had not yet been
realized, coupled with growing apprehensive that people
around the world were starting to wise up to the real nature
of Agenda 21, permitted the clock of deception to be removed
to reveal the true goals of the Green New Deal, socialism
and global control as a way to advance Agenda 21.
Something wicked
this way comes and it is called the
Green New Deal.
The direct
descendant of Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030, it will, if fully
implemented, complete President Obama's promised fundamental
transformation of America from the land of the free to the home of
the impoverished and enslaved...
