We’ve warned everyone that the “lead up to Rio+20″ would show the “Pro-Warmers” would “ramp up“ their war on free speech and take on a more aggressive and outright militant approach to shutting down debate on what they call “Deniers” versus the “eco-whacked out” Global Warming believers!
So here we go. From David Suzuki’s latest blog on DENIAL of Deniers Denying any claims of anti AGW to “Australia’s Carbon Trading Loving” activists trying to outlaw bloggers who attempt to send Australia any news on the “fake” Global Warming research that they are being bombarded with to support their economy-killing legislation on Carbon Trading and calling them Criminals!
We can’t leave out the United Nations who wants to lump anti-warmers into their Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
In other words FREE SPEECH will not be tolerated with these NGO’s and Organizations that have had it their way for many years filling the airways with their FAKE CLAIMS that the World is on the verge of either burning up or flooding like in the time of Moses!
Warning to the above: We “bloggers” will not only continue to report the TRUTH but will expose your false flags and false apocalyptic BS ever chance we get!
The Authoritarian Impulse and Climate Change
March 13, 2012 at 4:18 pm NO FRAKKING CONSENSUS
Remember that old adage – The road to hell is paved with good intentions? I wish there was a short YouTube video that made this point clearly, persuasively, and humorously. I’d direct folks to it all the time. Because some truly monstrous proposals are being advanced by people who seem to think that anything goes in the fight against climate change.
David Suzuki, Canada’s equivalent to Al Gore, wrote a blog post for the Huffington Post last week titled Deny Deniers their Right to Deny! Earth to Suzuki: I don’t care how important your cause happens to be. The moment you start urging your followers to deny other people their rights you’ve crossed over to the dark side.
If Suzuki can’t think of a way to save the world that doesn’t involve trampling on other people’s liberty that tells me everything I need to know about the world we’d all be left with. Unfortunately, he isn’t alone. Authoritarianism is alive and well in the green movement. Rather than lurking on the fringes, it’s center stage.
In an eye-opening piece about UN-accredited NGOs, Hilary Ostrov points out that the UN has a Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. According to that body’s website, part of its mandate is:
promoting the role of criminal law in protecting the environment…
It isn’t good enough, you see, that countries around the world already spend millions on a long, long list of government agencies, ministries, initiatives, and regulatory frameworks devoted to protecting the environment. The UN thinks environmental transgressions should be a criminal matter. It wants people sent to prison. And it thinks that pushing for such a state of affairs is a good use of its resources.
Over in Australia, an Independent Media Inquiry report was released a few weeks back. As the report itself makes clear (on page 20 of the 474-page PDF):
the leader of the Greens, Senator Brown, called for a general inquiry into the newspaper industry…
and in the blink of an eye that inquiry become a reality. According to the recently-released report, among the issues Brown thought should be canvassed were
- whether publishers should be licensed
- and whether a ‘fit and proper person’ test should be applied to those seeking television licenses (see here)
The report continues:
Concern was also expressed by several politicians and others that certain [newspapers] were biased in their reporting on particular issues. Climate change [was one example]…
Which newspapers attracted such criticism? Why, the ones known for occasionally publishing the views of climate skeptics, of course.
Of the 11,000 public submissions received by the media inquiry the vast majority – 96% or 10,600 of them – were not original statements authored by individual Australian citizens (see page 355 of the PDF). Rather, they were:
facilitated by two advocacy organizations, Avaaz and NewsStand through the use of online forms.
One of those online forms sets all my alarm bells ringing. In the opinion of the activist organization known as Avaaz, access to the airwaves should only be open to those who’ve passed a ‘fit and proper person’ test. This, it says, would “ensure that those with the power to influence public debate are suited to this important responsibility.”
Say what? In societies in which free speech is cherished, every last person has the power to influence public debate. They may do so by standing on a stool in a public park and sharing their views with passersby. They may write letters-to-the-editor of the local daily, picket outside a building, organize a protest march, or write a blog. The belief that the government should decide whether people are suitable toinfluence public debate is practically the definition of authoritarianism.
And make no mistake – Avaaz is green to the core. Last year, despite the fact that two out of three Australians were opposed to a national carbon tax, Avaaz encouraged people from around the world to add their names to a declaration that applauded this tax and called Australia “the next great hope for climate.”
