Obama’s Energy Secretary: Get Ready for Carbon Taxes
- Text size
Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
February 13, 2009
Buried in a New York Times article replete with the pontification of Obama’s Energy Secretary Steven Chu we find what the globalists have in mind for us — carbon taxes so crippling they will drive more jobs out of the country and send energy costs through the stratosphere.
|
|
 |
|
| Obama listens as Energy Secretary Stephen Chu speaks at the Energy Department in Washington, Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009. | |
“Dr. Chu said reaching agreement on legislation to combat climate change would be difficult in the current recession because any scheme to regulate greenhouse gas emissions would probably cause energy prices to rise and drive manufacturing jobs to countries where energy is cheaper,” reports the New York Times. “The concern about cap-and-trade in today’s economic climate,” Dr. Chu said, “is that a lot of money might flow to developing countries in a way that might not be completely politically sellable.”
“He said that while President Obama and Congressional Democratic leaders had endorsed a so-called cap-and-trade system to control global warming pollutants, there were alternatives that could emerge, including a tax on carbon emissions or a modified version of cap-and-trade.”
Agence France-Presse didn’t dance around the issue like the New York Times. “During the US presidential campaign, the notion was kept largely on the back burner as candidates were reluctant to promote the idea of costlier energy at a time when gasoline prices were soaring.” Now that Obama is in office, Chu believes “alternatives could emerge, including a tax on carbon emissions.”
In the New York Times article, Chu says “Big Science” and “Nobel-level breakthroughs,” along with taxing the plebs until they become third world serfs will save the planet from the menace of global warming and climate change. Dr. Chu, a physicist, didn’t tell the other half of the story — an increasing number of scientists believe the sun is a major driving force behind global warming, not carbon emissions.
“Ice core samples show that CO2 levels (which are blamed by many to be the initiating force behind a rise in global temperature) rise 800 years after an initial rise in temperature,” writes Daniel Taylor. “Other data gathered regarding solar activity show a clear connection between fluctuations in the sun’s activity and temperature variations on earth. If the sun is in fact the culprit for changes in the earth’s temperature, world taxes, global government and other solutions we are being given are not cutting to the root cause of climate change.”
In 1990, writes Jim Tucker, the Bilderbergers adopted climate change as the preferred model to impose global government and reintroduce serfdom. “Like the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group discovered the issue of environmental deterioration. Bilderbergers embraced a report from the Trilateral Commission that year on the environment, because the potential profit in cleaning up the mess would be immense.”
The following year, the Club of Rome think tank published The First Global Revolution, a book suggesting a draconian neo-Malthusianism “limit to growth” approach will solve the world’s problems, in fact a problem the global elite has with humanity. “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill,” the book states. “All these dangers are caused by human intervention,” and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The Club of Rome’s members, including Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and Mikhail Gorbachev, believe humanity requires “a common motivation, namely a common adversary” in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or… one invented for the purpose.” In the process of struggling against this implacable enemy, democracy “will be made to seem responsible for the lagging economy, the scarcity and uncertainties. The very concept of democracy could then be brought into question and allow for the seizure of power.”
Richard Haass, the current president of the Council on Foreign Relations, expanded on this topic in his article, State sovereignty must be altered in globalized era. According to Haass, a system of world government must be created and sovereignty eliminated in order to fight global warming and terrorism, both invented as the Club of Rome suggested. “Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change,” writes Haass. “The goal should be to redefine sovereignty for the era of globalization, to find a balance between a world of fully sovereign states and an international system of either world government or anarchy.”
In addition to pushing the junk science of climate change, our rulers are systematically taking down the global economy in order to impose what Haass describes as “an international system of either world government or anarchy.”
Prior to the election, Obama called for drastically reducing carbon emissions. “President elect Barack Obama used his speech at a Los Angeles summit last night to reinvigorate a push for the revival of a frightening proposal to slash carbon emissions by 80 per cent, a move that would inflict a new Great Depression, cost millions of jobs, and sink America to near third world status,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote for Prison Planet on November 19, 2008. “Obama’s agenda to cut carbon emissions by 80 per cent is a huge leap towards the ultimate goal, expressed by the Carnegie Institute earlier this year and afforded sober credibility by the corporate media – a complete reduction down to zero carbon emissions.”
“Zero carbon emissions? That would lead to the near complete reversal of hundreds of years of technological progress and man’s return to the stone age,” Watson incredulously notes.
It may indeed be a “tough sell to get a law passed in the United States that could lead to higher energy prices,” as Energy Secretary Steven Chu suggests.
Congress under the Democrats, however, was able to pass the largest tax and spend bill in U.S. history with relatively little opposition. In the months ahead, with the help of the corporate media, they will crank up the propaganda about climate change and eventually impose punitive carbon taxes on the American people, a scheme that may eventually lead to the near complete reversal of hundreds of years of technological progress and man’s return to the stone age.

I think a more fitting and useful comon goal is to drive the money changers out of our lives. I want the freedom to exhale CO2 for free.
Matthew Brand Reply:

But you are destroying the planet by emitting this dangerous gas. Surely you won’t mind paying a tax every time you exhale in order to save humanity?
Tim Singleton Reply:
February 13th, 2009 at 6:38 am
I think it would greatly help the ecology if all the liberals and environementalists would just hold their breath. If they don’t exhale, they don’t contribute to CO2 levels.
Hey! Maybe we could create a tsunami of human guilt amongst liberals and treefreaks that makes them feel guilty every time they take a breath!

I blame Congress because they are the ones that are suppose to be watching out for the American people. Remember when Bush was president and they were way down there on the ratings but yet everybody blamed Bush for everything? Well, Congress is still low in the ratings and Bush isn’t there any more and I bet he’s glad of that. So, it wasn’t the Republicans after all; it was the Democrats that messed us up.
Maybe God is just trying to fix the planet from what the humans have done to it???
February 13th, 2009 at 2:11 am
There are doing this everywhere now but more people are starting to realise it just another massive fraud. Keep spreading the word Carbon is not a polutant or a major greenhouse gas. There’s no science behind the false story just some dubious computer modeling that they can only explain as “very complex”.
The same people who are pushing this tax on you are the world’s largest polluters who have virtual monopoly of oil and have buried patents for clean and efficient energy and technology. Entire countries have been poisoned by these people. Can we really believe them when they say “it’s the people’s fault”? That we have to pay taxes to them so they “can save us”.
When I check the so-called scientific consensus you find there isn’t actually any consensus at all. The UN’s ISPCC is politically edited and the comments of all who didn’t agree with ruling elite version of the truth had there work deleted. The only way then can get scientists to go along is by awarding or withdrawing funding which basically means, only science that has sold out to politicians gets media air time.
I pour cold water on this with everyone I meet is actually quite easy to debunk. Real environmentalists have been sold out. There lots of pollution, deforestation and all sorts of eviromental abuses going on that urgently need addressing. The elite are trashing the skies with chemtrails, poisoning water with mercury and destroying the diversity of life on earth with GMOs. Now they tell us that they are going to “save the planet” and just need the money that you usually use to put food on the table to do it.
Come on truthers, spread the word. This pile of steaming BS is easy to take apart. We need to trash this scam and widely expose it

btw the only way im paying carbon tax is with lead!!

Agreed! anyone knows that when you have a gas/odor in a room you open a window to ventilate it,I suggest these retards need “ventilated” with a high speed projectile,they would then do their part to stop polluting the air, would they not? I mean as long as they flap their jaws they asr polluting right? their words not mine.
February 13th, 2009 at 2:21 am
I can think of one way to reduce .01% of carbon emissions. Make these globalist kontrol freaks cease to breath.
February 13th, 2009 at 2:35 am
OK, Here’s the bottom line: We are facing an enemy with UNLIMITED resources for accomplishing their agenda. We’re talking BILLIONS of dollars stolen from the hard work of YOUR LABOR! They’re taking HALF of your income to ENSLAVE you every year and now it’s only getting worse!! The only way to combat these criminals who run and control everything is to SUPPORT the Infowar with FUNDING!!! Can’t you people see that this is our best chance of getting the word out? I have created a new Money Bomb for 2009 to accomplish just that. $5 from 2 million Infowarriors around the world will make a HUGE difference in enabling our message of freedom and liberty to spread!! Can’t do it nearly as fast or effectively without the funds. I can’t make this any more clear, can I? Please watch this video, check out the website and take 4 minutes to donate 5 bucks. This means YOU! Everybody. Peace…

Equation’s heart is in the right place, but not his wallet. And Eq, you gotta make people WANT to donate, not telling them. Folks tend to donate more when they think it was their idea. In fact, I’m writing a check to one or two orgs this weekend (not much, because Patriot does have a point)
Besides, there are other ways to help. Distribution of materials (both by hands or leaving a small stack o’ papers at a coffeeshop for starters.

February 13th, 2009 at 7:38 am
I will not pay a carbon tax or collect a carbon tax. While I’m at it, I will not pay income tax or collect sales tax. I will do my best to develop and support a black market. This will crush the “legitimate” businesses in this country and eliminate the govt’s revenue stream. I will grow my own food or buy direct from farmers who don’t collect illegal taxes. My next vehicle will be a plug in electric, recharged for free by solar power.

I have only one thing to say, a quote from Samuel Adams, who some might remember as a founding father.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. –Samuel Adams

There’s a way around this BS if you look for it. Like credit cards and checks. All taxable. Use cash only and deal with people in your inner circle. Private trade and commerce. Buy wholesale and at yard sales wherever possible. Go private and d0on’t expose your purchases to sales and other tax and you’ll be OK.

Man-made global warming is a sham! Al Gore was recruited to panic the population into believing we were all goners. There may well be global warming, but it’s a cycle of nature. Fossils of tropical plants have been found in Antarctica and mastodons with vegetation in their mouths discovered in Siberia. So at one time, these areas were much warmer than today…a long time prior to fossil fuels. The talk of heavy taxes on the general public won’t lkead to’ global cooling’. All it will do is further strap a financially troubled planet. The money, I have heard, is slated for the NWO to further provide for our general discomfort.

Why is it that we never see ’salt-of-the-earth’ types of Americans from the proverbial heartland running things in America? I’ve wondered that for years. Now we have this ‘C.M.’ (ChinaMan)..another ‘immigrant’ who won’t get with the Constitution-based program here in America, dictating to us. This ‘C.M.’ is taking his marching orders from another ‘immigrant’ (and lying imposter..welcome to ‘barakistan!). We have other interlopers called secular, humanist zionist jews (thru the entire fabric of all American govt.) who establish policies which undermine the Biblical and Constitutional foundations of our system of government.
There seems to be only one remedy to this situation, but I won’t print it here! But as a hint, consider this: King George and the Parliament were only imposing an effective tax rate of 3-5 % (the estimates vary, somewhat) on the Colonists, prior to the War for Independence. What’s the effective tax rate in America today?
If you haven’t already done so, then please rent the cult-classic film, “They Live”, and watch it carefully! Pay particular attention to the parallel symbolism in it. The ‘aliens’ are running the show, friends..and they’re NOT from outer space! Wake up! before it’s too late.

I would think many of these same people would realize the benefits of warmer temperatures globally. They are teh same groups that complain that there is not enough food for the current population of the world. Wouldn’t the warmer temperatures open up more land to farming? I am thinking of the lands that are far north and south. And, instead of being limited to a five month growing season in some of the colder areas, the season would be six months…or something like that. More land that is farm-able means more food for the populace…it’s a win-win situation; we feel more comfortable because it doesn’t get as cold, AND we get more food per person!
