“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”

Vladimir Lenin

The old adage attributed to one of the founders of the first communist state sums up the recent debates on “climate change.” Now is climate change a hoax? I don’t know, not for sure. I know there’s a debate about what exactly is the often touted scientific consensus on the matter. There are also many “scientific” doomsday predictions made by climate change proponents that have never arrived, and the dates pass by with little, to no, fanfare. Even now, amidst all the hoopla of Greta Thunberg and climate change hearings, the Washington Post recently had an article on how the Antarctic ice shell reached a 35-year high in growth.

All of it makes for any rational discussion impossible and for a clear presentation of actual facts to be very muddled.

This does not stop the self-appointed climate police from Al Gore, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the new climate superstar, Thunberg, from making outrageous and ghastly claims. It doesn’t stop them from articulating dystopian ideas of control, all to save the planet and humanity of course, but dystopian and tyrannical nonetheless.

These ideas, like the ominous “Green New Deal,” seek to punish those in the West, particularly America, for their lifestyles — all the while doing nothing to curb emissions, waste and pollution in places like Africa and Asia, where actual pollution is out of control. This also from the Democratic Party and globalist socialist elites who can’t even keep homeless junkies from leaving needles on the streets, and literally defecating on the streets of once pristine cities like San Francisco and Seattle.

Forgive me if I am just a tad skeptical, of not only the ability to do anything substantial but also of the magnitude of the crisis. Imagine my (and many like me) dismay that the Earth has existed for as long as it has only to have 12 years left unless we vote for Democrats. This hyperbolic nonsense would be laughable if the inmates running the asylum weren’t so serious.

And these inmates’ solutions include things from banning cars, curbing (even eliminating certain ones) industry, removing fossil fuels from the energy sector and even the banning of eating meat. The enemies of the climate warriors run from coal to cow farts, but the biggest enemy to them would be human beings. Bernie Sanders even said abortion is an effective strategy to fight climate change. None of this should be surprising as most of their policies are anti-human and especially against common people.

In fact, most common people are opposed to both the ideas and solutions. It is only by using propaganda in media, the education system, and choosing people like Thunberg, whom most people don’t want to criticize, that they make any strides. All of these tactics are classic Saul Alinsky and Cultural Marxist ways of doing things, where the ends always justify the means.

President Trump recently announced that the United States would be sending troops to Saudi Arabia after oil facilities were attacked. It is a clear reversal of his campaign policy, and one reason I strongly supported him, of non-intervention.

I understand the motives for intervention. I think we all do. It’s clearly all about the vast reserves of oil in the Arabian peninsula. And if we’re going to become embroiled in a conflict there then we should drop all moral pretext and admit that. This is the only interest of national importance that we could possibly be engaged in.

Now that still doesn’t warrant any involvement coming to the aid of such a despotic and woefully tyrannical regime as the house of Saud. The Saudi government and royal family as a group go against almost everything good we stand for in this country. Sponsors of global terror and home to the majority of the 9/11 terrorists, Whabbism is vehemently anti-American and anti-Western/Christian. So much so that it is detrimental to us to come to the aid of such a country.

I hope President Trump reconsiders involving us in another Middle Eastern war and embraces once again the standing policy of non-interventionism. We are not called to be the police to the world, or to fight proxy wars for other nations. Just as we are not called to be the sacrificial lamb in regards to climate change for the same global elites to further their scams and shenanigans.
