  • Obama’s Energy Secretary: Get Ready for Carbon Taxes

    Buried in a New York Times article replete with the pontification of Obama’s Energy Secretary Steven Chu we find what the globalists have in mind for us — carbon taxes so crippling they will drive more jobs out of the country and send energy costs through the stratosphere.

    “Dr. Chu said reaching agreement on legislation to combat climate change would be difficult in the current recession because any scheme to regulate greenhouse gas emissions would probably cause energy prices to rise and drive manufacturing jobs to countries where energy is cheaper,” reports the New York Times. “The concern about cap-and-trade in today’s economic climate,” Dr. Chu said, “is that a lot of money might flow to developing countries in a way that might not be completely politically sellable.”

    “He said that while President Obama and Congressional Democratic leaders had endorsed a so-called cap-and-trade system to control global warming pollutants, there were alternatives that could emerge, including a tax on carbon emissions or a modified version of cap-and-trade.”

    Agence France-Presse didn’t dance around the issue like the New York Times. “During the US presidential campaign, the notion was kept largely on the back burner as candidates were reluctant to promote the idea of costlier energy at a time when gasoline prices were soaring.” Now that Obama is in office, Chu believes “alternatives could emerge, including a tax on carbon emissions.”

    In the New York Times article, Chu says “Big Science” and “Nobel-level breakthroughs,” along with taxing the plebs until they become third world serfs will save the planet from the menace of global warming and climate change. Dr. Chu, a physicist, didn’t tell the other half of the story — an increasing number of scientists believe the sun is a major driving force behind global warming, not carbon emissions.

    “Ice core samples show that CO2 levels (which are blamed by many to be the initiating force behind a rise in global temperature) rise 800 years after an initial rise in temperature,” writes Daniel Taylor. “Other data gathered regarding solar activity show a clear connection between fluctuations in the sun’s activity and temperature variations on earth. If the sun is in fact the culprit for changes in the earth’s temperature, world taxes, global government and other solutions we are being given are not cutting to the root cause of climate change.”

    In 1990, writes Jim Tucker, the Bilderbergers adopted climate change as the preferred model to impose global government and reintroduce serfdom. “Like the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group discovered the issue of environmental deterioration. Bilderbergers embraced a report from the Trilateral Commission that year on the environment, because the potential profit in cleaning up the mess would be immense.”

    The following year, the Club of Rome think tank published The First Global Revolution, a book suggesting a draconian neo-Malthusianism “limit to growth” approach will solve the world’s problems, in fact a problem the global elite has with humanity. “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill,” the book states. “All these dangers are caused by human intervention,” and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”

    The Club of Rome’s members, including Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and Mikhail Gorbachev, believe humanity requires “a common motivation, namely a common adversary” in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or… one invented for the purpose.” In the process of struggling against this implacable enemy, democracy “will be made to seem responsible for the lagging economy, the scarcity and uncertainties. The very concept of democracy could then be brought into question and allow for the seizure of power.”

    Richard Haass, the current president of the Council on Foreign Relations, expanded on this topic in his article, State sovereignty must be altered in globalized era. According to Haass, a system of world government must be created and sovereignty eliminated in order to fight global warming and terrorism, both invented as the Club of Rome suggested. “Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change,” writes Haass. “The goal should be to redefine sovereignty for the era of globalization, to find a balance between a world of fully sovereign states and an international system of either world government or anarchy.”

    In addition to pushing the junk science of climate change, our rulers are systematically taking down the global economy in order to impose what Haass describes as “an international system of either world government or anarchy.”

    Prior to the election, Obama called for drastically reducing carbon emissions. “President elect Barack Obama used his speech at a Los Angeles summit last night to reinvigorate a push for the revival of a frightening proposal to slash carbon emissions by 80 per cent, a move that would inflict a new Great Depression, cost millions of jobs, and sink America to near third world status,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote for Prison Planet on November 19, 2008. “Obama’s agenda to cut carbon emissions by 80 per cent is a huge leap towards the ultimate goal, expressed by the Carnegie Institute earlier this year and afforded sober credibility by the corporate media – a complete reduction down to zero carbon emissions.”

    Zero carbon emissions? That would lead to the near complete reversal of hundreds of years of technological progress and man’s return to the stone age,” Watson incredulously notes.

    It may indeed be a “tough sell to get a law passed in the United States that could lead to higher energy prices,” as Energy Secretary Steven Chu suggests.

    Congress under the Democrats, however, was able to pass the largest tax and spend bill in U.S. history with relatively little opposition. In the months ahead, with the help of the corporate media, they will crank up the propaganda about climate change and eventually impose punitive carbon taxes on the American people, a scheme that may eventually lead to the near complete reversal of hundreds of years of technological progress and man’s return to the stone age.

      Another tax…

      Personally, we have too many taxes as it is… and irrational taxes at that. We pay taxes on everything we buy! Sometimes we pay taxes on the same purchase for years, and years…

      In our state we have *property taxes*, which are complete bullshit. I bought a car, and paid taxes on it at the time of purchase, that were thrown into my loan. I then have to pay taxes on that *property* every year, and if I sell the car that year, not only do I have to pay taxes on it, but the person who bought it from me has to pay taxes as well.

      The same thing happens with our Homes, except we have to pay tax values on what they THINK our houses are worth… not what they are really worth. Our home in today’s market, MIGHT fetch 40 or 50 thousand, if it sold at all, yet we have to pay taxes on 100,000 dollars! We have even tried to have the state come out and re assess the tax value on our home, and were told, point blank, that the Tax value will remain what we say it is, there is no reason for us to reassess your home, because we FEEL it is worth 100,000 and that is what you will pay taxes on, period.

      Worse than that, the state has FROZEN home values, so even in the housing decline, we have to pay taxes on what our homes were valued at, a year or two ago, instead of their actual value today. *This is in North Carolina*

      Now they are going to charge a carbon tax, why not an oxygen tax? Why not a water tax, or a physical mass tax. We are taxed to death as it is, we don’t need a damn new tax, we need a NEW GOVERNMENT, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, instead of by the Government, for the bankers.

      Property tax is BS.
      You have a god given right to own property. You owe no man, money to retain that ownership.
      You own it into perpetuity.
      Sales tax, you don’t pay sales tax, businesses do. They aren’t supposed to pass the buck, but they are being screwed with revenue, not profit taxes.
      Businesses are supposed to pay a cut of their profit, not off their revenue.

      Carbon taxes will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

      paul Reply:

      technically we dont really own anything since our “money” is not worth the paper it is printed on….you paid for your car, house ect… with paper!!!

    2. Aidan Monaghan Says:

      IMO, the manufactured economic crash and proposed carbon taxes have everything to do with the 9.1% annual decline rate in oil production and destroying demand for this and other non-renewable energies. (so called “Peak Oil”)

      Capitalism and fractional reserve banking schemes cannot function when the energy that drives economic activity is vanishing.

      The future will have less to do with the economic growth of decades past and more to do with restriction.

      Man-made climate change and manufactured credit disasters are lies designed to conceal energy depletion, in order to deter public demand for renewable energy infrastructure and the sustainability and economic equality it represents.

      “In 1990, writes Jim Tucker, the Bilderbergers adopted climate change as the preferred model to impose global government and reintroduce serfdom.”

      Serfdom is what Nick (Rockefeller) wants. To me this means a massive effort will be made to propagandize climate change with fake scientific data and brainwashing with the goal being the implementation of a (preferably global) carbon tax.

      This money will go straight into their globalist bank accounts so they can plan for more global government under their control and less Constitutional government under your control. Nick will set up companies to collect the money and “do something” about it, for a profit of course.

      The bankers and financers will be rubbing their hands.

      Another way to get money out of the goyims. Soros was advocating it in the Huff post.

      We need solar, wind, geothermal energy not carbon taxes.

      But there’s no significant money for clean energy. What happened to Obama’s promises? Peanuts in the stimulus for green energy today.

      In the EU, carbon taxes, trades is justa money making scam for industry and banks.

      they will tax the living hell out of the working poor that have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, but when you talk about taxing the rich in the same manner, they get all up in arms and say how its unfair.

      There is no logical sense to the idea “a scheme that may eventually lead to the near complete reversal of hundreds of years of technological progress and man’s return to the stone age.”

      You would have to bankrupt the country. Dismantle Every sense of technology that exists where a persons presence exists within the realms of technology. Without it society and money would mean nothing. Governments would not exist, clan warfare and pillages emerges as if future generations lived during the medieval times.

      The morons who have voted for Democrats and Republicans for the last three decades deserve one! When will they have enough S&L scandals, Iran-Contras, Gulf Wars, Wars on Terrorism, Enrons, Madoffs? I supported the infamous liar, Ronald Reagan, in 1980…that was my last year wearing the Demopublican propeller hat. Don’t even think about voting for these swine in 2010 unless you’ve got an appetite for more of the same!!

    17. Walter Says:

      The people still hold the power to force the government to reverse their damning taxes and laws.
      It would come at a cost of Americans conveniences for a short time, but refusing to spend any money on any product affected by the tax and supported by the tax would quickly force a reversal.
      It’s time we do without- in order to do with.
      Americans- over 280 million + and going strong against a few in the government is what the power is all about. We need to remind them- they work for us, not the other way around!!

    18. Forced Freedom Says:

      You greedy bastards in Washington just don’t get it do you!?

      You can only suck the people out of their hard earned money so much before they finally say they have had enough, maybe that is exactly what you are trying to do.

      There will be a point in time very soon where “We the People” are going to tell you rich fucks in DC to stick your money vacuum up your Gluteus Maximus.

      I am telling you now. If you and your cohorts refuse to abide by the laws of the land according to the Bible and the Peoples Constitution (not the corporate), you will have your miniscule little peckers whacked and shoved down your throats.

      We have had ENOUGH!
