Hon. Thaddeus G. McCotter: Where Is the Climate Cult’s Outrage at Genocidal Communist China?
In Sherlock Holmes’ MemoirsOne finds the case of “Silver Blaze”The following is an example of the “curious incident of the dog in the night-time”:
The sum of all the “dog that didn’t bark” This is shorthand for situations in which a claim is discredited or disproven because a fact that would logically be in evidence is missing or deliberately omitted.
Speaking of logic – or, more accurately, the absence thereof – enter the febrile hive-minds of the elitist caricature that is the World Economic Forum (WEF). As Breitbart reported, in their annual gaggle to make the world safe for autocracy to protect their money, power, and privilege from we peons, there was a discordant Greek chorus of Philippics, calumnies, and condemnations of carbon emissions, fossil fuels; and dire warnings that the failure to act with catholic alacrity to stanch the climate apocalypse is perpetuating a “planetary crisis” spurring “mass extinction” that puts “humanity’s future at risk.” Per the ravings of Mr. Al Gore:
“That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees, predicted to reach one billion in this century.
“Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees. What about a billion? We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world.”
Obviously, one reason is that the genocidal Beijing regime would not care. Oh, they may give lip service to the climate cult, but they have no intention of slowing their economic growth. Even if they wanted to do so, they could not. The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) tacit agreement with their captive people is that, in exchange for their citizens’ liberty, they will provide prosperity and security. The steep declines in Chinese prosperity caused by abiding the requisite climate change being foisted upon developed, democratic Western nations to remedy an “existential threat to humanity” would constitute an existential threat to the rule of the CCP. Guess which one the CCP cares about more?
Another rationale is the one that makes a person a WEF elitist in good standing: a boatload of money. Economic ties with genocidal communist China have proven good for many members of the WEF. Though those heady days of profit raking may have peaked post-COVID, the WEF’s members have a stake in ensuring they recoup their remaining investments. As a correspondent related: “The reality is as China’s economy collapses, its investment firms like BlackRock sending billions into China to prop them up.”
The curious result is that global investment entities who tout their support of environmental, social, and governance standards (and cost their customers money to do so) to stanch climate change by refusing to invest in new sources of traditional energy are quite happy to invest in fossil fuel consuming, earth polluting, carbon-spewing genocidal communist China. Less curious, then, is the fact the China Energy Fund is a WEF co-sponsor.
In the end, as Holmes would note: the WEF’s climate apocalypse’s dog is not barking at communist China, because it is begging for treats. This inconvenient truth belies the impending climate apocalypse; evinces that this alleged “crisis” isn’t about controlling the climate; it’s about controlling you; and if the WEF gets its elitist way, the only impending “mass extinction event” will be of your liberty and prosperity.
