Lies, Lies, Lies!
The comments below are an edited and abridged synopsis of an article by James Rickards
Politicians may be morons when it comes to public policy, but they’re geniuses when it comes to inventing new ways to control your life and steal your money.
Tax increases seem old-fashioned compared with new 21st-century ways to take over the financial system to your detriment and make you pay for their pet projects. Take climate, for example.
We’re familiar with how climate alarm has been used to dictate changes in transportation, energy generation and construction codes. Of course, these efforts have been massive failures, as witnessed by ongoing supply chain disruptions and energy shortages.
Large parts of Europe, Japan and China may freeze in the dark this winter thanks to efforts to close down nuclear and natural gas-fired electricity generation. The US will be only slightly better off. It won’t freeze in the dark, but Americans will face much higher prices for home heating and gas at the pump.
The irony is that the US will burn 23% more coal this year because of the shutdowns in nuclear and natural gas and the inability of wind turbines and solar to make up the difference. Nice job by the climate alarmists.
Will they be held to account? Will they see the error of their ways and abandon their delusions? Don’t hold your breath for either. They’ll only dig in harder.
Up for discussion: Climate alarmism influencing financial decisions; a long list of lies; damned lying statistics; social media liars; how many people have lies and propaganda killed; and think for yourself.
