Republican Exposes EPA Grant to Radical Climate Group

NewsweekMaG

Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito called out the EPA for granting $50 million to a “radical” climate justice group. “They wanna defund the police, defund the military … want to have very drastic initiatives that I think are anti-American.”

Climate Change Fanatics, Social Justice Warriors, Eco Fascists, and their Dem Financiers will be tough to battle as there are multiple fronts to push back against. But it can be won by breaking the weakest link … CC!
Unfortunately THEY have the Liberal Media in their wheelhouse

One war is for control of the power and money of the US Gov. To win that war is to battle the Democrats which first means a long battle to replace the RINO Republicans. The real war is for the hearts and minds of the kids, which again means fighting the Democrats who protect the teacher’s unions.

An effective counter to the (UN)democratic teachers’ unions is to follow the lead of Florida: school vouchers for parents. This needs to be a blueprint for future conservative activism.

The billionaires also hope to make trillions from the estimated $US200 trillion it will cost and they own the media and finance the climate activists.

They also finance the politicians.

A “more” radical climate group? Most greens start at British Labour party levels of socialism, and go left from there.

I wonder which one of spending bills (continuing resolutions?) authorized the $50 million and how many, if any, Republicans voted for it.

It couldn’t be more clear the EPA has lost it’s way and needs to be shut down.

We need more actions from the Supreme Court to trim the EPA’s wings.

I often rail about agencies going off mission. The EPA is a wonderful example.

What part of the law that created the EPA allows for social justice grants? Or does merely passing the budget into law implicitly grant that power?

Bob,
The EPA has not even shown its way.
I have never seen EPA analysed by classic cost benefit ratio.
For all we know, those regulated by EPA would have bone the necessary work in their time as profits allowed funding.
Industry is full of ordinary family folk who dislike abuse of nature, maybe people more genuine and homely overall that the EPA people. Nobody seems to have studied it. It remains a sorry mess of using force and combat when gentle cooperative suggestions for timing and spending money would do better.
Why does there have to be this antagonism by EPA? Have they run out of valid things to do, so have to invent tasks?

Shell’s move to axe offshore wind plans a ‘red flag’ for other projects

This is obviously part of the plan for Australia to become a renewable energy ‘superpower’. lol!

so when nations call for more wind and solar installations- “just say no”

Joseph,
Good, but do we need to do more than just say no? People are realising how much of their personal info is being gathered and worked into actions taking us where we do not wish to go. Think Covid “vaccines”. Would it not be wise to add more specifics like “Never answer a poll – it is your business, not theirs.”

The time honoured phrase, ‘clutching at straws’ seems to apply. In a world of unsettled arguments you can make your name with wild conjecture. Such misinformation takes time to refute and allows the machine time to think of more seemingly plausible contentions. So the bandwagon rolls on. No one has landed a punch on the denialist narrative, it’s a wild west of supposition which allows for billions to be spent on unicorn hunting projects.

A house of cards always looks impressive until it collapses.

And it always will collapse.

It is just a matter of time and the clock has been running for sometime already. Just one, perhaps seemingly insignificant, event will change everything as it always has done and always will do. Perhaps it has already happened but the ripples haven’t yet developed …

It’s only been on YouTube for a week. With 3,743 comments! It’s one thing for individuals to want to support that group but for the US government? One of the most insane things I’ve heard in years. I’m a middle of the road guy, politically- but this pisses me off.

Directly and indirectly the influential WEF is supportive of many organizations such as Climate Justice Alliance. With Klaus Schwab giving up the reigns of the WEF it will be interesting to see what positions the new leadership takes. But as Bruner’s book “Controligarchs” points out control and profit are key objectives and that will likely continue to be the case.

The Occupy Wall Street protests, the George Floyd rioters and now this Climate Change group
all seem to have have a common theme. Fascist/commie financial roots…I pointed
this to a federal leo years ago and his response was “yea so what are you going
to do about it”? My reply was I don’t know, what should I do about it.. he had no answer.

Democrats are highly skilled at using public money to advance Leftist ideology. It’s about time Republicans learn the game as well.
