2 Thumbs up!! Glad you wrote about this, T.L. This has been a pet peeve of mine forever. I lost count a long time ago, of how many times I've argued about this green BS. Yes, there really are true believers out there, and they are absolutely a cult! And, as you state, the one word description for all this is: CONTROL. Nothing more, nothing less. We need to be fixed in place, you see, so our "betters" (eye roll) can do what's best for us (another eye roll).

If this EV nonsense had been in effect in years past, I'd have never been able to make a living. In my trade (Pipefitter), a close job was 30+ miles away. I spent most of my years working in other states, chasing overtime jobs where the $$ were better. Couldn't have done it with a &*^$&(* EV!

You're MUCH more polite by telling TPTB and the cultists to 'piss off'. I won't put in print what my reaction is. And you're correct - they live in a make believe world where there are no consequences for anything they do. Those only exist for us.

Y'all take care,

Mike.

Polite isn't working. We'll need to be more assertive.

The climate fraud isn't their objective, it's just a symptom of a much broader war. Their insane tactics are the thousand cuts that, individually, are nuisances, but combined will bleed us out. Many will not survive. Everyone will be damaged. As with every war, the longer we wait to react, the messier the conflict. We need to begin confronting these assaults on civilization more aggressively. They interpret our acquiescence as acceptance. Appeasement never works.

I had intended this to be propagated to more polite society. Being angry and hostile over it won't work either, I've been both, but this was designed to offer some tools to those with sensitive relationships with people who need to understand it. This blog and what I do very often are too radical, too hostile. Not so much now that so many have finally awakened and gotten on the same track, but once, when I mentioned "communists" even this community castigated me for bringing up some old-fashioned term that no longer held any cache, but now it's mentioned all over the place. I don't think I had any role in that, but I had to call it for what it actually was.

The only rational objective is do what works. Polite hasn't worked. Our adversaries have achieved epic levels of malfeasance and criminality. Socialists wrote the book on hostility. They aren't impressed by polite. If you know of other tactics that could work, this is a fine forum to discuss them. Just keep in mind FBI is monitoring us.

The opposite of polite isn't necessarily anger. Emotions are usually counterproductive. Polite is often driven by fear, which is always a destructive emotion. Effective hostility is usually unemotional. There's a whole lot of unemotional radical and hostile available to us.

Wars are like ball games. Only a few are on the field, but the folks in the stands can help.

I guess, what I'm saying is that the post wasn't for everyone. There's layers here. A lot of this blog is directed at a given layer, that post was directed at another, that's all. I know what has to be done and how, but a few more cheerleaders wouldn't hurt the team.

Hillary on the View this morning, said its okay to call pubs fascists because pubs call dems socialists because they want socialized health care. That's what passes for polite with View viewers.

Victory usually goes to the team with the greater commitment. Currently, the socialists are more committed, and they're winning.

@David Watson,

I am not convinced the dems are more committed, they do outrageous

things, true, and they are very loud and dangerous rowdy. Doesn't the

FBI orchestrate most of the chaos? Stay away from cities, crowds, enjoy

some peace of mind in a more simple lifestyle away from the 24/7

sirens going off.

Indeed, the cities are where the worst of it is, and the mass formation of those crowds incites greater involvement. I also look forward to times away from the cities for the tranquility. But we can't really escape the zealots, as they'll eventually follow us into the suburbs and countryside, too. The war is being waged currently in the cities. It's like the government said about Afghanistan-- we have to fight them there so they won't fight us here. Might work for a while. Didn't work out in Afghanistan.

A good indicator of relative commitment is in the congress. A pub senator on TV yesterday whining about several practical, rational, apparently non political bills he introduced all got zero dem votes, 100% opposition. That's commitment. Pubs, on the other hand, are often as fickle as the wind, as likely to join with the dems on a bill as not. That's appeasement. Never works.

Voters seem to be learning the value of commitment, and polls are indicating a shift in November. We'll see. Things aren't bad enough yet to interest most of them. Maybe enough.

Excellent/we'll keep it dry for now

The $$$for infrastructure repair has all been swindled, stolen, laundered and secreted

to private accounts held by political frauds. Thirty years at least...and now we give 80

billion to Ukraine/Zelinsky? I am under no illusions and certainly am not delusional.

The corruption is solid to the core. Green Science is a big scam. "They" want to steal

every last dime we have and have us live in a closet. Good luck with that.

Thanks T.L.

I would expect anyone of a rational thinking nature and still having the skill of critical thinking sees this climate change buffoonery for exactly what it is... a contrivance by the communists to manipulate the gullible masses that will result in more power and control for the communists. Climate emergency, medical emergency, constitutional emergency, water emergency.... anything the communists tack on the word "emergency" to is a sure tell that they are conspiring to implement more ways in which to control you, me, the entire population while fabricating more power for themselves.
