I have frequently written over the last several years that the agenda of the climate-alarm lobby in the Western world is not consistent with the maintenance of democratic forms of government. [emphasis, links added]
Governments maintained by free elections, the free flow of communications, and other democratic institutions are not able to engage in the kinds of long-term central planning exercises required to force a transition from one form of energy and transportation systems to completely different ones.
Why? Once the negative impacts of vastly higher prices for all forms of energy begin to impact the masses, the masses in such democratic societies are going to rebel, first at the ballot box, and if that is not allowed by the elites to work, then by more aggressive means.
This is not a problem for authoritarian or totalitarian forms of government, like those in Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia, where long-term central planning projects invoking government control of the means of production is a long-ingrained way of life. If the people revolt, then the crackdowns are bound to come.
This societal dynamic is a simple reality of life that the pushers of the climate alarmist narrative and forced energy transition in Western societies have been loathe to admit.
But, in recent days, two key figures who have pushed the climate alarm narrative in both the United States and Canada have agreed with my thesis in public remarks.
In so doing, climate alarmists are uttering the quiet part out loud about their real agenda.
Last week, former Obama Secretary of State and Biden climate czar John Kerry made remarks about the “problem” posed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that should make every American’s skin crawl.
Speaking about the inability of the federal government to stamp out what it believes to be misinformation on big social media platforms, Kerry said:
“Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence,” adding, “I think democracies are, are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing.”

Never mind that the U.S. government has long been the most focused purveyor of disinformation and misinformation in our society. Kerry wants to stop the free flow of information on the Internet.
The most obvious targets are Elon Musk and X, the only big social media platform that does not willingly submit to the government’s demands to censor speech.
Kerry’s desired solution is for Democrats to “win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, you know, winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to, to, implement change.”
The change desired by Kerry, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other prominent Democrats is to obtain enough power in Congress and the presidency to revoke the Senate filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, enact the economically ruinous Green New Deal, and do it all before the public has any opportunity to rebel.
Not to be outdone by Kerry, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland of Canada, who is a longtime member of the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum, was quoted Monday as saying:
“Our shrinking glaciers, and our warming oceans, are asking us wordlessly but emphatically if democratic societies can rise to the existential challenge of climate change.”
“Does capitalist democracy still work?”

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the central governments of both Canada and the United States have moved in increasingly authoritarian directions under their current leadership, both of which have used the climate alarmist narrative as justification.
This move was widely predicted once the utility of the COVID-19 pandemic to rationalize government censorship and restrictions of individual liberties began to fade in 2021.
Frustrated by their perceived need to move even faster to restrict freedoms and destroy democratic levers of public response to their actions, these zealots are now discarding their soft talking points in favor of more aggressive messaging.
This new willingness to say the quiet part out loud should truly alarm anyone who values their freedoms.

From the very beginning of the climate fraud it was recognized the democracy was a great threat. Maurice Strong single handedly got the global warming movement going in the UN. His writings include statements that national sovereignty has to yield and that ballot box democracy needs to be modified. Other activists writing during this period of time identified democracy as one the greatest threats to their cause.
In the US in 2018 with Trump as president the climate change movement attempted to bring their cause directly to the people with a number of ballot measures. For the most port this effort was a complete failure.
Maurice Strong was raised in Manitoba during the Great Depression. I have known people who experienced that deprivation and heard similar stories from their children. It changed them for life. It was revealed by Paul Bernado’s defence lawyers that, as a child, he hid food under his bed because his mother guarded her fridge. You hear enough stories like this and it starts to affect your opinions.
Strong was regarded as a genius. Why did he not see that capitalism and democracy is the best provider for all? Socialism might provide crumbs for all, but they’re still crumbs.
I hope that voters are listening, ears to the ground. Erosion of our freedoms are at stake. they’re gone, how do you get them back? Free and fair elections? Gone, too.
They just would like to see America under total control of the United Nations and its Eco-Nazis Watermelons and our lives controled by the Eco-Freaks
