‘Our Planet Is In Peril’: Cory Booker Compares Green New Deal To Fighting Nazi Germany

From The Daily Caller

Fighting Nazi Germany

Chris White | Energy Reporter

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker appeared to compare adopting the so-called Green New Deal with fighting the Nazi regime.

“Our planet is in peril, and we need to be bold,” Booker said at a Friday campaign event in Iowa. There are a lot of people who are critical of the deal. Critics claim “it’s too impractical, and it’s too expensive.”

“And when the planet has been in peril in the past, who came forward to save Earth … from the scourge of Nazis and totalitarian regimes?” Booker asked rhetorically. “We came forward.” (RELATED: Does Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Outlaw Every Building In The Country)

“We came forward with the Marshal Plan,” he added, referring to a U.S. program concocted during the 1940s to rebuild parts of German and other European countries bombed out during World War II.

The GND, which was introduced Thursday by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calls for a “10-year national mobilizations” toward a series of goals aimed at fighting global warming. A separate fact sheet published online claims the plan would “mobilize every aspect of American society on a scale not seen since World War 2.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s original concept received support from Booker and other potential presidential candidates. The updated version, however, which was rolled out Thursday morning, got only tepid support from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who called the idea a “green dream” Wednesday.

For every Marshall Plan $1 to Berlin, $4 went to Paris and $4 to London. Look what Germany accomplished – modern nuclear power, transport, housing.

It defeated the Morgenthau Plan to force Germany back pre-Bismarck without industry. Today Berlin is imposing the Morgenthau Plan and refused any kind of Marshall Plan for southern Europe, shutting nuclear and coal down.

AOC wants the Morgenthau Plan now for the US ! Looking at that Plan it is exactly the Confederate plan, from the Nashville agrarians. It’s a I’ll make my Stand, whistling Dixie plan.

Interesting now that London supports it (HRM RIIA Chatham House photo-op with AOC) as they supported the Confederates then and Hitler also (Royals all involved).

There is a very true saying, “The countryside does not need the cities, but the cities do need the country”

Snag s that today we see the cities getting bigger, and the countryside getting smaller. population wise.

The thinking in the cities is very different to that n the countryside.

I used to wonder why the USA had a Electorial College, but now I realise that it is in effect what we here in Australia call a “Gerrymander”, a system of giving the folk in the countryside a greater say in governing the country. . It is not democrancy, , but it is necessary if on e wants stability.

That’s why the Democrats don’t want it, Hillary should have won if one talks about the “Will of the people”.

What I do not understand is FDR. I grew up in a time that FDR was my hero, that with the aid of Harry Hopkins, FDR saved the USA from gong Communist during the Great Depression.

So was FDR a good or a bad man. He was unlike his uncle a Democrate, . So were Democrats back then very different to todays ?

Alexander Hamilton Federalist Paper 68 showed why the Electoral College (as is called now) is needed – to stop the tyranny of the majority. FDR saved the US by applying as much as he could the American System of Economics (Henry Carey’s book). Friedrich List applied exactly that to Germany. FDR’s New Deal with the RFC (Reconstruction Finance Corp) worked – AOC’s parody is a deadly attack on FDR and the American System of Economics. The German KfW is modelled on the RFC.
Trump more than once reminded people of this, the first Pres. to mention this since they assassinated McKinley.
This means Trump has enemies at the FED, WallStreet and the City of London – from there comes the endless harassment.
Teddy Roosevelt nominally also a patrician was a disaster. FDR caught polio and emerged from hospital a totally different person.

“So was FDR a good or a bad man.”

Well, FDR was a little bit before my time, and he had his good points and bad points. FDR was elected four times to be president, but I will note that after he died a Constitutional amendment was passed that limited presidential terms to two.

As all recent campaigns have noted, a campaign based on winning the electoral college is a lot different from a campaign based on winning the popular vote.
Anyone who declares they know who the winner would have been had any past election been a popular vote election is fooling himself, or deliberately trying to fool others.

Anyways, given the poor quality of voter identification in most states (especially heavily Democrat ones), we don’t really know who won the popular vote.

Same in metropolitan areas across America, and it has been expanding into rural areas during the last 15 years. Keith will now attack you as a liar and racist and misogynist blahblahblah. Every time anyone attempts to inspect voter registration rolls they are assailed by ACLU, SPLC, NAACP, AFSME, and mainstream media as nazi space alien child rapists. You know that already! 😉

Keith, essentially all Hillary’s popular vote majority came from two states, California and New York, both with notoriously lax voter rolls. As there was active obstruction of any attempt to investigate voter irregularities, the failure to find what was being actively hidden in unsuprizing.

Got your panties in a wad right quick like. Thats good. Now, why do you oppose voter ID? One legitimate reason. Ought to be easy, lets us hear it. As for vote fraud and election rigging, it is so widespread even your media reports it. Toddle on over to AP and Reuters and Bloomberg and McClatchy and cnn and cbs and pmsnbc. Just because you support the Democrat Party and its efforts to subvert Americas electoral systems does not make anything you screech correct, your own media puts the lie to it.

Halla first posts: ” Los Angeles County in California has about one million more voters than residents eligible to vote”

I’ve proven him wrong on that assertion.

So Halla now says: “Hillary’s popular vote majority came from two states, California and New York.”

That is a fact, however, that fact does not prove widespread voter fraud.

Please post some evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Halla, if you are not registered, you are not eligible, so in reality the number of registered voters is less than the number of eligible voters. You’ll also note that the number of votes cast is less than the number of registered voters.

I did not state that. Please review all of my posts and note the number of times I used the word WIDESPREAD.

In order to be widespread it has to be more than a dozen examples in 128 million votes cast.

Widespread, as in happens across the entire nation, in local, state and Federal elections, every time there is voting. All I had to do is scroll to the bottom of what you posted and there was an example of it on the other side of the political aisle, and you claim that means it is NOT happening.

Want all this to go away? Simple. Verification of voter registration rolls nationwide, voters present ID when voting, problems solved. Why do you oppose that? Why do you instead want to play semantics games and throw around “links” that undermine your own position that vote fraud does not happen? What specifically is your political agenda? Lay it out in 10 words.
