The Victory Speech We Don’t Want to Hear

As a member of the San Francisco media, I’ve been watching Kamala Harris since 2003 when she ran for District Attorney against the incumbent DA, Terrence Hallinan. First, she was accused of being tactless for running against the man who hired her as a deputy attorney several years earlier. Then, it was discovered she won by seriously violating campaign finance laws.

Even by San Francisco standards, Harris’s eight-years as DA pushed the progressive envelope. She protected illegal immigrant drug dealers from prison with her “smart on crime” initiative, expunging their criminal records and providing them job training. One person from the program went on to assault a woman, breaking her skull.

When an El Salvadorian MS-13 gang member murdered a father and his two sons, Harris adamantly refused to enforce California’s death penalty. The killer was in the US illegally and had been arrested for numerous gang-related offenses as a juvenile. I’ll never forget the call I received on my radio program from the grieving widow who lost her husband two boys. She was outraged by Harris’s inflexibility.

Curious, I discovered Kamala’s dad was a leftist professor emeritus at Stanford (specializing in post-Keynesian economics), and that he met her mom while they were student activists at the University of California-Berkeley during the hippy/counterculture movement.  Harris, I figured, was cut from their radical cloth and gravitated to the judicial system with lofty goals to end alleged disparate outcomes, structural racism, and mass incarceration.

When running for California’s Attorney General, I heard Harris use an odd phrase she has employed many times since: “To see what could be, unburdened by what has been.” Kamala has since explained it’s a slogan her mother used to employ. While many have taken a stab at the meaning of this peculiar sentence, it’s possible it’s a catchphrase inspired by Karl Marx. For example, in his 1848 Communist Manifesto, Marx wrote: In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past.

Marx perceived the past as representing of a system of slavery driven by capitalism, which he wanted to replace with communism.

I contend Kamala dreams of a similar world.  I recently listened to her 2016 Senate victory speech presented to staff and supporters on election night. Her brief remarks make it vividly clear she has an ax to grind with America’s past and she is ready to see what could be.

“We know the stakes are high,” she said. “Do we retreat, or do we fight? I say we fight. And I intend to fight!”

In the span of eight fiery minutes, she used the term “fight” 33 times.

“I intend to fight for a state that has the largest number of immigrants, documented and undocumented, of any state in this country and do everything we can to bring them justice and dignity and fairness under the law and pass comprehensive immigration reform. Bring them out from under the shadows,” she exclaimed. “I intend to fight for Black Lives Matters…I intend to fight for a woman’s access to health care and reproductive health right. I intend to fight against those naysayers who suggest that there is no such thing as climate change…I intend to fight big oil, I intend to fight the science deniers…our ideals are at stake right now and we all have to fight!”

She closed her remarks stating, “I believe this is a pivotal moment in the history of our country. I believe we’re at an inflection point. I believe we are at a place that is similar to that place in time when my parents met when they were graduate students at UC Berkeley in the 60s and active in the civil rights movement…”

Appears the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

I encourage you to review the speech for yourself. May it inspire you to get out the vote and pray she doesn’t have the opportunity to repeat any portion of that speech on November 7.

Brian Sussman is the author of Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property.

How and why so many younger Americans are embracing socialism

My new book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property reveals how the topic of climate change is being effectively used to extinguish the inalienable (God-given) right to life, right to liberty (a government which upholds the  values illustrated, for example, in the Ten Commandments), and the right to “the pursuit of happiness” which is found in the joy of personal property ownership.

In my latest Brian Sussman Show podcast (Episode 247) I interview a sharp young man named Christ Talgo, from the Heartland Institute. Chris co-authored Socialism at a Glance. He has a well-founded understanding of how and why so many people under the age of 40 have embraced socialism.

This is a dangerous social and political trend that must be well understood by all who cherish freedom. I hope you’ll carve out some time to listen to this important, eye-opening episode.

More Stunning Proof: It’s Not About The Environment  

As I’ve repeatedly said ever since my first book, Climategate, was published in 2010 (following an appearance on Sean Hannity’s television show), “It’s not about the environment, it’s about Marxism.”

The entire climate agenda is based on patiently lulling the masses into a green stupor whereby they can be herded into a collectivist society run by broad-minded elitists. It’s about extinguishing our inalienable (God-given) rights of life, liberty and the happiness found in property ownership, and replacing them with a government enforced system of social justice and equity that will necessarily redistribute .wealth and leave us—the “lesser-minded”—with dull and droll lives.

Case in point, check out this recent press release from Western University in Canada:

If global warming reaches or exceeds two degrees Celsius by 2100, Western University’s Joshua Pearce says it is likely mainly richer humans will be responsible for the death of roughly one billion mainly poorer humans over the next century.

Their solution is also found in the presser:

A Western-led study proposes aggressive energy policies that would enable immediate and substantive decreases to carbon emissions and recommends a heightened level of government, corporate and citizen action to accelerate the decarbonization of the global economy, aiming to minimize the number of projected human deaths.

The press release and subsequent study are vivid illustrations of how the climate agenda is nothing more than a Marxist scheme to cripple America first, then the rest of the developed world, particularly Europe.

Since 1917, when communism claimed Russia, the leading cause of unnatural death—in the entire world—has been Marxism in its various forms. The Marxist’s know once America falls, the rest of the dominoes will follow and they can seize the global populace.

Just note the very first sentence in the press release: richer humans will be responsible for the death of roughly one billion. 

 This is in your face agitprop; rich vs poor, us vs them. It’s what communists do to justify destroying free markets.

Now note another sentence  from the press release: a heightened level of government, corporate and citizen action to accelerate the decarbonization of the global economy

This is code for government enforcement to limit personal property rights, pick corporate winners and losers, and empower stakeholders to shut down Big Oil. Their envisioned decarbonized world will skyrocket inflation, trash the dollar, give us an energy grid filled with rolling blackouts and insecurity, and provide the elites with the opportunity to control us, while they rake in cash through early investments in government mandated green technology.

Illustrating my point, just last month the state of California filed massive lawsuits against the five largest oil companies claiming they are responsible for wildfires, flooding, and extreme heat caused by their products which produce greenhouse gases, forcing global warming. Their wild claims are based on pseudo-science.

Latest Video Podcast: Exposing the Climate Agenda

 Latest video podcast is ready for your viewing!

In this episode you will become overwhelmingly convinced, it’s not about the climate, nor the environment.

The climate agenda is a broad scheme designed to replace the American ethos of life, liberty and happiness, with a masterfully devious plan known as sustainable development.

Though it sounds innocent enough, sustainable development will provide the government with heavy handed authority to pick life’s winners and losers via the levers of social justice and social equity. This important episode exposes it all.

Watch it here.

University Study: One Billion to Die From Climate Change
