The Green New Steal: The Business of Climate Change

.
FORGOTTEN HISTORY


They told us it was about saving the planet. But what if the climate movement was never about carbon at all? From Al Gore’s million-dollar mansions to trillion-dollar carbon markets, “The Green New Steal” uncovers how environmentalism became the most profitable business model in modern history.


This episode dives deep into the intersection of climate policy, global finance, and political control, exposing how the same corporations that fueled the old energy economy are now cashing in on the green one.

We trace the story from “An Inconvenient Truth” and the birth of carbon credits, through the European Union’s Emissions Trading System, the UN’s Agenda 2030, and the Inflation Reduction Act, revealing who truly profits when governments tax, trade, and regulate in the name of climate justice.

What happens when the fight to “save the Earth” becomes a marketplace?

Who benefits when every mile, meal, and breath carries a price?

And what if the real product isn’t carbon, it’s us? Written and hosted by Mike Droberg. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production. #GreenNewSteal #ForgottenHistory #ClimateEconomy

This has been patently obvious for at least 15 years.

Thirty years ago “global warming” became “climate change” measured by “global average temperature” which has nothing to do with “climate”!

If temperature determined climate, then the very similar savannahs of the central US plains and the savannahs of central Africa couldn’t exist simultaneously. Tmax in central Africa is quite a bit higher than in Kansas!

Following the collapse of the Marxist/Leninist political system as applied in various states around the world the reds developed a green outer layer. Class and the means of production were passe (failed) and they hit upon a new global and societal control knob – Carbon dioxide. While it is used in taxes and trading schemes etc to put a stranglehold on normal development it is also marketed as the control knob… of temperature.

Really?

Look at the last elections in Germany. People don’t take it any more. And Europe’s political elite is in shock.

Greta was a rant, but not little. Flying a sailboat crew across the Atlantic so she could sail it back ‘carbon neutral’ isn’t a little rant. Fake rant, yes. Little, no.

Greta – they thought – was untouchable being autistic and ‘neurodiverse’ and able to see Carbon dioxide with her naked eye. An innocent child railing against the awful uncaring older generations and bemoaning how they stole her future etc.

She was a media creation for a specific purpose:

On August 20, 2018 a tweet featuring a photo of “a Swedish girl” sitting on a sidewalk was released by the tech company, We Don’t Have Time, founded by its CEO Ingmar Rentzhog

“One 15 year old girl in front of the Swedish parliament is striking from School until Election Day in 3 weeks[.] Imagine how lonely she must feel in this picture. People where [sic] just walking by. Continuing with the business as usual thing. But the truth is. We can’t and she knows it!”

Tagged in Rentzhog’s “lonely girl” tweet were five twitter accounts: Greta Thunberg, Zero Hour (youth movement), Jamie Margolin (the teenage founder of Zero Hour), Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, and the People’s Climate Strike twitter account (in the identical font and aesthetics as 350.org).Source

And then she became too old for the role.

What I liked about Greta was that she wasn’t in on the game. The silly moo actually believed it.

So when she asked all those governments ‘if it’s so bad why aren’t you doing anything about it?’ she accidentally blew the whistle on the whole scam.

Of course they weren’t doing anything about it. A global crash program of nuclear power might have been convincing. But windmills? Really…

I couldn’t believe they were serious, either.

Even worse is the fact that the Green New Steal is based on a Great Big Lie: That man’s “carbon” emissions are somehow harming the planet. In fact, man’s CO2 emissions have been 100% good for both man and for life itself, and any slight warming they may have caused has also been beneficial. All of the hype and hoopla about “climate change” is total nonsense and lies, for the benefit of the greatest scam in human history. It is all about money and power, nothing more, to the detriment of the poor and middle class. It both robs and enslaves in the name of “saving the planet”. Fortunately, it is all coming apart at the seams now, and the Climate Scammers know it.

The biggest con in human history, built upon the fever dreams of radical environmentalists who lost their major source of funding with the fall of the Soviet Union!
For all you alarmists, who aren’t very good at the game; if you’re in a con and you don’t know who the mark is, it is YOU!

… trace the story from An Inconvenient Truth AIT … [to GND], … in the [holy] name Climate Justice.

Key events in the life of Albert A. GORE, Jr., AAG-Jr, prior to his star-acting rôle in the AIT.
————
As Candidate Gore, in 2000-2001, was narrowly defeated by G. W. Bush, for the Presidency, giving him plenty of time to convert his book into the acclaimed cinematographic expression, AIT.
————
D.C. (1993-2001), served as Vice-President of the U.S.A., President of the Senate, during the Pres. W. J. Clinton Administration.
————
His Earth in the Balance (1991), written in lieu of a Presidential-Election Campaign, serves as the 1st Draft of the AIT script.
—————
On the Senate Floor (1988-9), James Hansen testified according to [Charney] Doctrine, and Chairman AAG-Jr. chaired the so-called Climate Surprises hearing of his Science, Technology, and Space Subcommittee, in which Hansen again testified to expose how the [Reagan] White-House’s OMB “had altered his written testimony to soften his warnings.”
————
In 1979, the NAS-authorized [Jules] Carney-Report sanctioned model-based projections of (future) global warming. Astute students of the report (like AAG-Jr), inferred that it forecast a global-averaged temperature increase of +9 F (+5 C), over the coming half-century (< 2,030 A.D.), if the current industrialization [B.A.U.] persisted.
[Note: that’s +1.0 C per decade, or ~ +2 F / 10 yrs]
————
In Vietnam (1971), enlisted Corps of Engineers, serving as a Military Journalist [~4 mo.] prior to an Honorable Discharge; then Divinity School (Vanderbilt); Jurisprudence (Yale)
————
At Harvard University (1968), he passed the course taught by Prof. R. Revelle (Center for Popula’n Studies), whereby he learned of the Keeling-Curve and CO2-driven Global Warming.
[b. 31.03.1948 A.D.]

At the Mauna Loa Obs. in Hawaii, the concentration of CO2 in dry air is currently 429 ppmv. One cubic meter of this air has mass of 1,290 grams and contains a mere 0.84 grams of CO2. This trace amount of CO2 in the atmosphere does not have enough molecular muscle to have any effect on the earth’s weather and climate.

If the people learned of this fact, they would question the claims by the corrupt IPCC and the unscrupulous collaborating scientist that CO2 causes global warming and is the control knob of climate change.

Like the best Big Lies, Al Gore’s book should have been titled A Most Convenient Lie.

So, lets cut to the Chase. As an 82 year old Forensic Historical Correlations Analyst, it has always been about control of Humanity – Wealth – While this is far from the beginning date wise, this is seminal to the genesis of Mind control for populations and the other “story tip” manifestations- Foundational dates to begin:
– 1892 – Departments in Univ. of Chicago, Columbia Univ., Univ. of Wisconsin with E.A. Ross who has career full of Socio-communist relations. Ross’s book “Social Control” (1901) is the textbook teaching how a few can gain control over Society. Albin W. Small, first Chair, taught Sociology as History, Economics, and Political Science. This Department and Albin W. Small were funded by Rockefeller Foundation. 
– 1904- 8 – Philanthropic Foundations entered, Rockefeller, Carnegie Ford. Also engaged in 1913 of the pre-planned “Private” banking system the Federal Reserve. Creating false economics and third party funding of subversive activities, educational and political via social cover. Alger Hiss was President of Carnegie Foundation. Rockefeller Foundation funded Sociology Chair Albin W. Small at Univ. of Chicago. The idea is: Societal Guilt Association.
– 1926 – Communist Psychopolitics – The description of a course taught at the “Lenin Institute” to Americans sent by John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller was member of the CFR This course still exists. What is “Psychopolitics? The art & science of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of Individuals, Officers, bureaus, and Masses and the effecting of the conquest of enemy Nations through “Mental Healing”. Psychopolitics, is a less known oblique to Geo-politics. Objective, conquest through social chaos.   Beria, Mass Murderer of entire villages in the Russian conquests, was the Professor of the 2 year course.
Authors note: Beria was the longest-surviving and the most influential of Stalin’s secret police chiefs of the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD). The responsibility of the NKVD was to ensure the internal security of the Soviet Union and it systematically did so through massive political repression, authorized murders of many hundreds of thousands of politicians and citizens, kidnappings, assassinations, and mass deportations. He was murdered when his works were accomplished. 

– 1928 – Origin or genesis of the Totalitarian New World Order. This through Environmental mental fear application. At the Sixth Party Congress held in Moscow in 1928, Communists wrote and approved “The Program” to bring in the New World Order. What most Americans cannot comprehend is the real nature of this diabolical criminal scheme. The Program of the Third International called for a global environmental program for transformation of all human beings on earth to accept the New World Order. These and other facts are brought to light by General Benton Partin in his videotape, Globalism: The Program. This through the above 1923-6 continuing Rockefeller Psychopolitics education program. Now think; 1892, 1904,1913,1919, 1923,1926,1934, 1945-6 and on. A link for those who can get past the manipualtion:

– 1965 – Ghosts in the Machine: by U.S. Army-psyop-division known as “mindwar”
 https://vigilantcitizen.com… the-u-s-armys-psyop-division/
The ultimate goal of MindWar is to make people willingly do what they’re supposed to do, while not realizing they’ve been pushed towards that decision at every step of the way.
“For the mind to believe in its own decisions, it must feel that it made those decisions without coercion. Coercive measures used by the operative, consequently, must not be detectable by ordinary means. There is no need to resort to mind-weakening drugs such as those explored by the CIA; in fact the exposure of a single such method would do unacceptable damage to MindWar’s reputation for truth.”
 Authors NOTE: Reputation for truth is directly relative to ( Whose Truth ? )

Possibly this will assist in the more modern:
– 1961 – Sir Julian Huxley (First Director of UNESCO 1946) creates the “World Wildlife fund” to coincide with his overt position on “Humanism”, “Globalism” coupled with “Eugenics” as the tree legged stool noted in “Psychopolitics”. Humanism, considers animal species equal or above man.

Greta is still around – her latest demand is for climate reparations – and how dare you to refuse to pay up!
