It’s a call to the Church to pray without ceasing!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., unveiled her
much-touted “Green New Deal” on
Thursday -- a package of far-reaching, big-government proposals like health
care for all, federal job guarantees and a push to eliminate U.S. carbon
emissions -- but it’s already receiving shade from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“It will be
one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico on
Wednesday. “The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is,
but they’re for it right?”
Pelosi took a more conciliatory tone on Thursday, saying: “Quite frankly, I
haven’t seen it, but I do know it’s enthusiastic and we welcome all the
enthusiasm that is out there.” She also named Democratic members to serve
on the new Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, but Ocasio-Cortez was not
one of those members.

GREEN RAW DEAL? - In what may be the most
far-reaching proposal to ever be considered in Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., unveiled her
"Green New Deal" on Thursday -- a government-led overhaul of
virtually every aspect of American life that would guarantee a host of
taxpayer-covered benefits for all and phase out fossil fuels ... However
the freshman lawmaker sparked confusion when she seemingly contradicted herself in a span of twelve hours on
the nature of the government's role in the massive plan.
Ocasio-Cortez's office says the plan would aim
to make air travel obsolete, upgrade or replace every building in America to
ensure energy efficiency and give economic security even to those
"unwilling" to work. The proposal, which calls for a massive package
of big-government proposals including health care for all, quickly picked up
the backing of major 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls including Sens. Kamala Harris,
D-Calif., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Cory Booker, D-N.J. --
who all co-sponsored the resolution.
Tammy Bruce, president of
Independent Women’s Voice, is a radio talk-show host, New York Times
best-selling author and Fox News political contributor.
Here’s
a scoop for you: The so-called “Green New Deal,”
onto which 70 leading Democrats have signed, doesn’t exist. Like a salesman
parked at a corner hawking a small bottle filled with a mystery substance that
will cure everything from insomnia to cancer, the Democratic Party is promoting
a fraud-work quilt promising a cure for all.
In reality,
this hoax targeting the liberal base, GenXers and progressives, is nothing more
than an elaborate Get Out the Vote organizing effort. As a former community
organizer, I respect that work when it’s about real proposals, actual
legislation and serious ideas.
Yet, courtesy of a letter being sent by Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York to Democratic colleagues in the House
of Representatives, we now know that there is no package of implementable ideas
or policy. What they do have is a press release word salad of platitudes,
slogans and talking points.
Bloomberg reported on the letter, with a revealing headline:
“Ocasio-Cortez begins to sketch out details of ‘Green New Deal.’ ” That
confirms the thing Democrats, including Sens. Kamala D. Harris of California
and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have endorsed isn’t even formulated yet.
As Winston Churchill might note, it’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an
enigma. It would be more honest to call it the “Green New Hoax.”
Bloomberg’s first paragraph outlining Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s
“blueprint” is at least honest: “Environmental legislation dubbed a ‘Green New
Deal’ and championed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has drawn
widespread attention -- despite the fact that no one really knows for sure what
it is.”
No one knows, because it doesn’t exist.
”‘Next week,
we plan to release a resolution that outlines the scope and scale of the Green
New Deal,’ according to a letter the New York Democrat sent to colleagues. ‘In it,
we call for a national, social, industrial and economic mobilization at a scale
not seen since World War II,’ ” Bloomberg reported. “Goals laid out in the
letter include reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions ‘through a fair and
just transition for all communities and workers,’ creating millions of ‘good,
high-wage jobs’ while ensuring prosperity and economic security for all, and
investment in infrastructure and industry.”
Sounds like a cultural revolution to me. What’s the “fair and just
transition for all communities” she’s talking about? Vague enough to be modeled
on Pol Pot or Chairman Mao Zedong or maybe just Martha Stewart. Who knows, and
that’s the point.
“The resolution will also call for clean air and water, climate
resiliency, healthy food, access to nature and ‘a sustainable environment for
all for generations to come,’ according to the letter. Lastly, the Green New
Deal will ‘promote justice and equity by preventing current and repairing
historic oppression to frontline and vulnerable communities,” the newswire
reported.
Further proof of the lack of seriousness is this outrageous pitching
of “protecting vulnerable communities,” as the young woman in front of this
charade has said nothing in opposition to her party moving in several states to
legitimize infanticide.
In December 2018, in a story about the genesis of the scheme, the
New Yorker magazine inadvertently exposed the real agenda.
“Sunrise, founded a year and a half ago by a dozen or so
twentysomethings, began its campaign for the Green New Deal last month, when
two hundred activists occupied Nancy Pelosi’s office a week after the midterm
elections. The movement has allied with the incoming congresswoman Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. … Inside Luther Place Memorial Church, cheers erupted as
activists unfurled a yellow and black ‘green new deal now’ banner from the
balcony. The crowd hushed as the first speaker, Varshini Prakash, came to the
microphone. Prakash … is one of Sunrise’s co-founders. She later told me that a
highlight of her activism career was when she participated in a musical
disruption of a Trump administration panel at the United Nations climate
conference in Bonn, in 2017…” the New Yorker reported.
Included in its coverage is this comment from Ms. Prakash, who also
happened to be a guest of Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts at the State of the
Union address: “‘Our strategy for 2019 is going to be continuing this momentum
to build the people power and the political power to make a Green New Deal a
political inevitability in America,’ Prakash told me. ‘In 2020, we, along with
our partners, are going to be attempting to build the largest youth political
force this country has ever seen.’ “
Further, the New Yorker reported that the founders of “Sunrise” met
through groups such as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.
The Sunrise Movement’s website makes it clear -- its members are all
about organizing at the local level, highlighting their goal to “Build our
movement in every corner of the country so we can reach the millions of young
people who are scared about climate and keep building support for a Green New
Deal.” Which, as we now know, is an apparition.
But one does need a cause -- preferably one that is malleable and
pushes all the right emotional buttons. No one asked former President Obama for
specifics of his “hope and change” plan, and we all know how that worked out.
Now the same leftists trust you won’t ask for specifics as they plan the next
round of wrecking your life.
