Maurice Strong - RIH*
Stand Up—Here Tehy Come Again
Gordon Brown has warned the UK faces a “catastrophe” of floods, droughts and killer heatwaves if world leaders fail to agree a deal on climate change. ...Negotiators have 50 days to save the world from global warming, he added.
So what happens in 50 days?!? Heat wave? Drought? Return of the Dinos?
[Christopher Lord Monckton, the 3rd Viscount of Monckton of Brenchley] “I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word ‘government’ actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, ‘climate debt’ - because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.”
Of course this “government” which is short hand for an international enforcement authority would not be actually elected by the people who would be required to live under its dictates. No doubt taxes would have to be raised in countries that would be compelled to pay environmental reparations to the Third World. The enforcement authority or “government” would also have the power to regulate energy policy in the countries that sign the treaty.
Oh. That deadline.
Still, if any kind of treaty arrives at the United States Senate with the kind of provisions that Lord Monckton warns of, it is inconceivable that the Senate would be disposed to ratify it. President Obama may decide to try to enforce the treaty anyway, perhaps passing a statute that would require only a simple majority rather than two thirds required to ratify a treaty. That kind of maneuver would contravene the Constitution, but then what is an old document drawn up by 18th Century white men have to do with the imperative to remake the world in the 21st Century?
*Rot In Hell
Let’s see - if we don’t do anything, there will be global cataclysms of indescribable proportions (some of which we see in the new movie “2012") before December.
But if we do do something, like sign various documents and plan to “impos[e] Taxes on us without our Consent”, then the irresistable forces of Nature will be turned aside.
(I missed the Maurice Strong reference… All I remember is that he likes to stay way out of the public light and still pull lots of strings.
I know about Monckton. He seems to be one of the few people with any influence who understands the situation.)
