Are Climate Lockdowns Next?

This article was originally posted at American Thinker…

We all vividly recall the absurd COVID lockdowns. While they had no effect on the spread of illness, the imposed regulations certainly proved that a large segment of the population was easily compelled to come to heel and submit to the government’s outrageous demands.

Since the COVID scare worked so well for the left, could a climate lockdown be next?

Given the facts I provide in my new book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property, such a scheme should come as no surprise, especially given that the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats are priming the pump with talk of executive action to declare a “climate emergency.”

As I reveal in the book, the first individuals to contend the environment was in peril due to human behavior were direct disciples of Karl Marx. Their contempt for capitalism and private property motivated them to conjure up a fallacious argument: the earth’s ecosystem was being mutilated by the industrial revolution. In fact, Edwin Ray Lankester, a zoologist at University College, London and close friend of Marx, referred to humanity as “the insurgent sons of nature.” Even Vladimir Lenin—a radical environmental preservationist—wrote lengthy regulations placing Russia’s natural resources off limits to his subjects. Millions died of starvation and hypothermia as a result.

In more recent decades, the climate agenda has been crafted by the United Nations with the United States and many European nations rushing to comply. It was a 1987 UN document entitled, Our Common Future, that officially introduced CO2 as not only the cause of global warming but a threat to world peace and an agent of economic inequality. Since then, the elitists at the World Economic Forum have provided muscle for the United Nation’s plans. In fact, a man the WEF describes as an agenda contributor, Yuval Noah Harari, pompously declared, “You can stop all flights, you can lockdown entire countries,” to combat climate change.

Climate lockdowns have been discussed by Democrats for several years. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced the Climate Emergency Act of 2021, co-sponsored by 62 congressional Democrats. The bill would “require the President to declare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act, and for other purposes.” Allowing President Biden to declare a climate emergency would provide the him with statutory powers that could be renewed should he gain a second term. The proposed Act reads like a communist takeover, demanding a “radically and socially just” plan to increase union membership, guarantee wages and benefits, promote social and environmental justice, expand the rainbow flag, and transition America to a carbon-free economy.

Last July, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, told reporters, “The president is going to do everything he can to take action. This climate emergency [decision] is not going to happen tomorrow but we still have it on the table.”

Eco-zealot Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), told Politico that he urged Biden to use emergency authority to enact radical climate change measures.  “In the absence of congressional action it is critically important he use all of his powers.”

And, of course, working in tandem with the Democrats on Capitol Hill, the UN has its own Climate Emergency webpage which states, “The science is clear. The world is in a state of climate emergency, and we need to shift into emergency gear.”

Yes, the science is clear. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a requirement for life on Earth, and more is better. As for global warming, the geological record indicates past periods have been significantly warmer than today.

Given that CO2 represents .04 percent of all atmospheric gases and of that amount only four percent are derived from fossil fuels, we should all be reminded that the tail doesn’t wag the dog.

The Plot Behind Biden’s “Climate Emergency”

When the recipient of the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics, Dr. John Clauser, declares the left’s climate crisis, “pseudo-science,” a reasonable person should pause to consider his assertion. But there are no reasonable people in the Biden administration, particularly on the issue of climate. Instead, it is widely reported that the White House is considering exerting executive power to unilaterally declare a climate emergency.  Such a move is an obvious attempt to gain the youth vote—a group that has been aggressively indoctrinated on human-caused climate change since preschool.

However, talk of an atmospheric emergency provides a clue of what we could expect from a second Biden term.  His team is moving forward with a scheme originally concocted by the United Nations to punish American’s for enjoying the pursuit of happiness. In fact, it’s a plan Al Gore described back in 1993 as entailing a “wrenching transformation of society.”

The left calls this, climate justice.

First, a bit more on Dr. Clauser. He has become associated with Clintel, an organization boasting nearly 2,000 accomplished scientists and professionals; their website boldly boasts, “There is no climate emergency.”

Add to that, another group of qualified experts who have signed the Oregon Petition, which states,

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

The Petition has over 31,000 signatories, including 9,029 with PhDs.

As for Biden’s faux emergency, as I reveal in Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property, in 1986, anti-America UN bureaucrats brought forth a cunning concept called, sustainable development. The goal of their scheme, as detailed in a treasured document known as Our Common Future, “…requires meeting the basic needs of all and extending to all the opportunity to fulfill their aspirations for a better life.”  The plan also includes revenge upon Americans whose lifestyles have been greatly lifted by way of industrialization and the use of fossil fuels. “Meeting essential needs requires not only a new era of economic growth for nations in which the majority are poor, but an assurance that those poor get their fair share….”  Drilling down further, the strategy states: “Sustainable global development requires that those who are more affluent adopt lifestyles within the planet’s ecological means—in their use of energy, for example.”

Climate justice contends American’s have lived at the top of the heap for far too long. Our lifestyle’s jugular is in their crosshairs: the energy grid and the untenable plan to achieve “net-zero.”

This is why Biden’s EPA has just demanded America’s remaining coal-fired power plants further reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 90-percent, or shutter operations. Coal is inexpensive and delivers 16-precent of America’s electricity. Technology has greatly minimalized otherwise harmful emissions from these 200 remaining coal plants, but the new mandates would likely force them all to close. Meantime, Biden is renewing efforts to suspend offshore drilling and US oil exports as his team plows full speed ahead to power the US with a grid void of fossil fuels.

The left’s green agenda will not just kill great American jobs in the oil and gas industry but will make our envisioned grid as reliable as the Third World’s, complete with rolling brownouts and blackouts, outrageous peak demand pricing, and the need for extra blankets and thick flannel pajamas on cold nights. No more two cars in the driveway either, you’ll never be able to afford charging them.

However, if you are a wealthy and well-connected apparatchik, you will still live quite well.

This is the transformation Gore telegraphed years ago, and this is what the Biden administration hopes to have four more years to accomplish.

United Nations Climate Charade Opens in Dubai: “No Meat For YOU!”

Dubai is an opulent city in the United Arab Emerates. The country was made wealthy from the sale and consumption of oil. Take that resource away from the Arab world and they would be pounding sand, so to speak.

So now, Dubai is host to the world’s elite, flying in on private planes, dining on luxurious spreads, sleeping and partying in air-conditioned suites, and telling us how to live a more frugal, carbon-free life. And so the United Nations latest Climate Change spoof begins.

High on the agenda? A plan to provoke us into becoming vegetarians. Why? Because the meat from animals, particularly cattle, is causing global warming. The chain of thought goes like this: when cattle fart they produce methane, a greenhouse gas. The more beef we eat, the more cattle required, the more methane released, and the more the atmosphere warms, creating climate change. So, the U.N. is calling on Western countries, especially the U.S., to drastically reduce meat consumption to save the world.

Never mind that the U.S. agriculture industry only accounts for 1.4 percent of greenhouse emissions and 10 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. Never mind that China produces more greenhouse gas and REAL pollutants than any other country in history.

The UN and other agencies have long called for ditching red meat and swapping to vegetarian or vegan diets to prevent climate change. I talk about this in my latest podcast.

Stop the press. First of all, we need greenhouse gases. Without them we have a climate more similar to that of the moon. The primary greenhouse gas is water vapor; the one the climate agenda hates is generally carbon dioxide, with only accounts for .04% of all the gas in the atmosphere. Of that, humans are responsible for a mere 4%! Carbon is the backbone of life, Carbon Dioxide is a required atmospheric compound necessary for life. Methane is a another tiny fraction of the global atmosphere, but an important one as well. And forget about cow farts as the big methane contributor, the biggest living emitter of methane are termites!

I eat a lot of veggies and I even like tofu when prepared properly. But I also like good, organic, grass fed and finished beef. My wife and I have freezer full of beef from a steer we raised and buthered last year. It’s fantastic.

Meantime, have you ever tried one of these fake burgers? The most poplar is the Impossible Burger? They call it an Impossible because it’s impossible anyone will ever confuse it for a real beef burger.

Discovering the Hidden Picture: Socialism, Communism, or Conspiracy? Special Podcast

The Biden Administration’s new Department of Disinformation is being accepted by the Left as necessary to democracy.

But who is the arbiter of truth, the government or individuals, aka We The People?

And, since when are mandates enforced by a new taxpayer funded federal department necessary for freedom?

Isn’t this another infringement upon liberty?

In this special edition of the Brian Sussman Show Podcast, Episode 140, I  reveal the “hidden picture” within the picture, and thoughtfully share how the world’s last beacon of freedom is being slowly morphed into a socialist state.

Is this a conspired step towards communism?

As BidenHarris are sworn in: My Final Warning

In the film Lord of the Rings, Gandalf the Great warns his friends as their death seems to be drawing near, exclaiming, “Fly you fools!”

Having been raised by a dad whose father escaped communism, and after 20-years of personally waging battle on the radio in the spirit of those who pledged their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” for this nation, and in light of the coup which has allowed evil progressives to plunder the reigns of Washington, D.C., to say I’m concerned for the future of America is a gross understatement.

I’ve studied the works of Marx, the actions of Lenin, and the strategies of Alinsky. It’s clear America is on a rapid downslide toward communism. This process never ends well, first for the resistors, then for all those not in the elite class.

Over the past four years millions of Americans, some of them otherwise decent people, have become so filled with hatred for Donald Trump that they are willing to blindly embrace the acute changes that have suddenly been launched upon the millions more who voted for President Trump’s second term. I’m referring to the  “Cancel Culture.” Eliminating avenues for conservative discourse and thus constraining First Amendment rights is now perfectly acceptable. Threatening Trump-supporting business owners with violence is tolerated. Firms firing employees who attended the January 6th march in D.C. is understood.

Friendships and family relations are being torn to shreds.

I’m reminded of the New Testament passage where Jesus warns, “…there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law” (Luke 12:52-53).

What’s tragic is these anti-Trumpers are not even aware that their venom and divisiveness is being fueled by a well-tuned propaganda machine driven by their cherished news sources which are purposefully manipulating reports and blacking out news that doesn’t fit into the pro-BidenHarris paradigm.

The American experiment has been viscously hijacked.

That said, based on the totality of my research and observations, here’s what I believe we can expect from the new federal government as their plan rapidly moves forward.

I pray I’m wrong.

Congress will quickly maneuver to grant Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. statehood. This will guarantee a total of four new democrat senators and likely six new democrat house members. Any member of Congress voting against this move will be tarred a racist.

The deck will be further stacked against congressional conservatives.

Next, the democrat controlled Congress will add additional seats to the Supreme Court. The goal is to permanently box constitutional conservatives out of federal lawmaking and deepen the democrats’ grip on federal power.

Once the Supreme Court is expanded, Congress will take aim at the Second Amendment. This is where things could become  violent—exactly what the pro-communist strategists wish for.

Simultaneously, the federal government will continue to redefine liberty. They will further erode the First Amendment, including severely curtailing the ability to communicate and gather. They will also use all facets of media for a public relations blitz targeting Trump supporters as an unyielding danger to the nation.  Born-again Christians and Orthodox Jews will also be marked as intolerant bigots. Practicing their faith will be akin to a hate crime. Thus, being a Christian or Jew and/or being a Trump supporter will conveniently allow them to “cancel” you. Not just your social media, but your livelihood too. Left to run its course, your personal property could also be at risk.

Redemption might be found in a federal re-education program. Crazy? Not to former network news superstar Katie Couric, who stated recently to Bill Maher,  “And the question is how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump?”

And for those who refuse deprogramming, Ms. Couric?

Also, over these next two years, China will grow in superiority, Russian will become more conniving, ISIS will rebuild, Iran and North Korea will be emboldened.

All the while our military will undergo castration.

The Great Global Reset will be well underway.

Hopefully, Red States will rise in defiance and challenge the new federal mandates–the question is, how long they will be able to hold out?

Our Republican form of government was designed for a society built on Biblical morality. The blue party is filled with the devil. Ask any immigrant who came to America fleeing communism: they see the writing on the wall and shudder when considering the final act.

Many are now looking to 2024. Perhaps the tide will turn? Perhaps Donald Trump or another populist will run as a Republican and win in 2024? I say populist because the Republican Party is filled with a host of elite, establishment, doers of evil as well.

Trump was never a card-carrying member of the GOP and that’s why so of us many supported him.

And that’s why the left loathes him.

And while I still pray daily for that tide to turn, forgive my pessimism. Barring a miracle (always possible), unless our voting system is overhauled I don’t see how we’ll ever beat the democrats in a national election. Nonetheless, you can bet I’ll be voting against Kamala for President in 2024 (as planned, Joe will likely be long gone from the White House by then).

Here’s my essential advice in the meantime:

Prepare as you would for any long-term natural disaster, including having emergency power and plenty of water.

Get out of debt quickly.

Save money—now.

If you are going to continue on social media know that everything you say can be used against you.  Everything is being recorded. Use a private email service and secure search engine. Even then beware. Purchase a short-wave radio, it may be useful in the very near future to hear the real news.

Consider your 2nd Amendment rights while they remain intact . If so, be well-trained and able to make your own “–mm–.”

If you want to know what our enemy is thinking, planning, and scheming, read the Sunday New York Times. If you want a the Cliff Notes version, read the daily AP News headlines.

If able, move to a Red State or region.  Build community with likeminded patriots.

If you’re called of the Lord to remain in a politically hostile area, trust Him for wisdom and provision.

Pray. This earthly battle is actually a heavenly one: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand (New Testament book of Ephesians 6:12).

If you’re not a praying person I invite you to consider the words of Jesus who said, “I am the way, truth, and life, no man comes to the Father except through me” (New Testament book of John, 14:6). This is your time to repent and get things right with your Maker.

The good news? I do believe in that in the near term we will witness a spiritual revival the likes of which will be Biblical in proportion.

In the Jewish Bible (Old Testament) we read of King Hezekiah who, while fully trusting God for protection, did everything he could to protect Jerusalem from its violent enemies including constructing water tunnels to insure a flow of spring water into the walled City of David (the tunnels exist to this day). Thus, I believe we too need to trust the Lord and prepare.

In the film Lord of the Rings, Gandalf the Great warns his friends as their death seems to be drawing near, exclaiming, “Fly you fools!”

Sad thing is, this is not a movie.

Fly you fools!
