'ne of the strangest if not most hypocritical elements of the battle
against industrial wind projects is the silence of the normally loud
environmental lobby. Massive wind turbines are not only destroying
enormous vistas of beauty but studies show they are wiping out bats,
insects, and large migratory birds while drying out soil and impacting
water tables. But where are the environmentalists with their placards?
Where are the road blockades? Where are the millennials gluing
themselves to our legislative floors?

Nowhere. They are dead silent.

But surely the impacts on livestock and human health, well-documented
around the globe, would arouse their sensitivities?

Nada. Nothing. Silence.

Perhaps Larry Behrens, communications director for Power the Future, a
nonprofit energy advocacy group, has the answer why. He notes that the
environmental “left” will fight against any impact on historic sites
when it involves oil and gas, but they typically look the other way when
it comes to renewable energy projects.

It’s funny how when it’s a new oil well or gas pipeline the eco-left is
quick to cry crocodile tears over claims from select local residents or
perceived historic significance. However, when these concerns are
legitimate — but there’s billions in green dollars to burn — the green
agenda can’t ignore the red lights fast enough. This all proves it’s not
about the environment, it’s about Joe Biden’s and the elitist eco-left
making sure their friends get paid.

Or insert “Justin Trudeau.” Same deal. The bottom line is that there is
ideology driving the environmental movement — not an actual deep concern
for planet Earth — since actions speak far, far louder than their empty
rhetoric. Otherwise, “environmentalists” would be all over the
destructive nature of industrial wind projects, arguably one of the most
ecologically damaging sources of energy ever conceived.1

I am speaking of ideologists like Canadian Environment Minister, Steven
Guilbeault. At one time, he was arrested for his environmental stunts…2
but time has proven Guilbeault is not an environmentalist but a carbon
tax advocate, which is nothing other than a promoter of an elaborate
scheme to redistribute global wealth.

But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s
wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not
be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion
that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has
almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore…

Ottmar Edenhofer, UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
dailysignal.com, November 19th, 2011
Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, eventually left the
organization due to radicals like Guilbeault joining it. Moore has
become an outspoken critic of the climate change narrative.

Climate change has become a powerful political force for many reasons.
First, it is universal; we are told everything on Earth is threatened.
Second, it invokes the two most powerful human motivators: fear and
guilt… Third, there is a powerful convergence of interests among key
elites that support the climate “narrative.” Environmentalists spread
fear and raise donations; politicians appear to be saving the Earth from
doom; the media has a field day with sensation and conflict; science
institutions raise billions in grants, create whole new departments, and
stoke a feeding frenzy of scary scenarios; business wants to look green,
and get huge public subsidies for projects that would otherwise be
economic losers, such as wind farms and solar arrays. Fourth, the Left
sees climate change as a perfect means to redistribute wealth from
industrial countries to the developing world and the UN bureaucracy.

Change Skeptic”, March 20th, 2015, Heartland Institute
Hypocrisies abound…

The endangered Whooping Crane
So-called “green think-tank”, the Pembina Institute, has been a vocal
critic of the oil and gas industry in Alberta. If a bird is found dead
in an oil sands tailing pond, you’ll hear about it. This is the very
same ‘think-tank’ that lamented the possible demise of the Whooping
Crane due to the oils sands.3 As it turns out, the Principal of
Elemental Energy, Jamie Houssian, is also on the Board of Directors of
the Pembina Institute. Yet, it’s Elemental Energy that has proposed a
wind project directly on the summer grounds of the Whooping Crane. We
have raised this point numerous times with Elemental Energy who have
simply deflected or denied the objective facts.

So, why the hypocrisy? Ironically, the Pembina Institute did a study in
2019 that found that a 150 MW wind farm would receive about $17.5
million per year for the power it generates and $9.8 million per year in
carbon credits.4 These credits, in turn, can be sold to other
corporations to “offset” their carbon footprint without actually
reducing their carbon output. You get the point: green projects feed a
taxation and subsidies scheme5 — they don’t defend the planet, and never
could. And it’s Canadian environment ministers who have a knack for
driving that point home:

No matter if the science of global warming is all phony… climate change
[provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality
in the world.

Former Canadian Minister of the Environment, Christine Stewart; quoted
by Terence Corcoran, “Global Warming: The Real Agenda,” Financial Post,
December 26th, 1998;

Communism — in a green hat

I’m just going to call it what it really is: Communism in a green hat —
but few are paying attention to what is going on right under their
noses. It is noteworthy that former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev
and Canadian-born UN environmentalist guru Maurice Strong — both
Communists in their Marxist views6 — were the driving forces behind the
United Nations Earth Charter (which promotes “solar and wind”) and
ultimately the UN’s Agenda 2030, whose Sustainable Development goal #7
is about globalizing “affordable and clean energy.” Gorbachev also
founded Green Cross International, which likewise promotes industrial
wind projects. It also so happens that the Chinese Communist Party not
only backs “net zero” initiatives, but in terms of markets, mainland
China accounts for two-thirds of global wind turbine installations.7

For those who feel they just dropped into a rabbit hole, ask yourself
this question: Why are governments around the globe adopting wind and
solar causing the destabilization of their grids, energy crises, higher
taxes, and ultimately higher prices? With the exception of a few
politicians, it is a seemingly mindless collapse into a globalist
agenda. Or is it a deliberate attack on local economies, since stable
energy is a fundamental foundation of sound economies?

A Deep Dive Into Reality
That last point seems outrageous — except that’s exactly what global
leaders have been telling us for the past four years: that we need to
accept a “Great Reset” and “Build Back Better” — which was Joe Biden’s
motto in his presidential run. However, “building back” implies that
something is first destroyed. But that’s exactly what global leaders
have consistently been preaching for over three decades, starting with
the global think-tank known as The Club of Rome:

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the
like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human
intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that
they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.

The Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution, Alexander King & Bertrand
Schneider, p. 75, 1993
A great revolution is waiting for us. The crisis doesn’t only make us
free to imagine other models, another future, another world. It obliges
us to do so.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, September 14th, 2009; unnwo.org; cf.
The Guardian
This is the crisis of my lifetime. Even before the pandemic hit, I
realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be
impossible or even inconceivable in normal times had become not only
possible, but probably absolutely necessary… we must find a way to
cooperate on fighting climate change and the novel coronavirus.

George Soros, May 13th, 2020; independent.co.uk.
This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a “reset”.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Global News, Sept. 29th, 2020;
Youtube.com, 2:05 mark
Without swift and immediate action, at an unprecedented pace and scale,
we will miss the window of opportunity to ‘reset’ for… a more
sustainable and inclusive future. In other words, the global pandemic is
a wake-up call we cannot ignore… With the urgency that now exists around
avoiding irreversible damage to our planet, we must put ourselves on
what can only be described as a war footing.

Prince (King) Charles, dailymail.com, September 20th, 2020
Thus, it should be no surprise that the chief global warming disciple,
Al Gore, is also in on it…

So, I think this is a time for a ‘Great Reset’… this is a time for a
reset to fix a bunch of challenges, first among them the climate crisis.

Al Gore, American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th
vice president of the United States; June 25th, 2020; foxbusiness.com
…as is the U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change, John Kerry:

And so this is a big moment. And the World Economic Forum… is going to
have to really play a front and center role in defining “Reset” in a way
that nobody misinterprets it: as just taking us back to where we were…

John Kerry, former United States Secretary of State; The Great Reset
Podcast, “Redesigning Social Contracts in Crisis”, June 2020
Now we have made full circle back to the United Nations and their
partner the World Economic Forum (WEF). Indeed, they are the architects
of the so-called Great Reset and pushing hard for the
economy-destablizing energy of wind and solar. As WEF founder Klaus
Schwab declared in 2020:

Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short
response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the ‘broken’ sense of
normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus
pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory.

Founder of the World Economic Forum, Professor Klaus Schwab; co-author
of Covid-19: The Great Reset; cnbc.com, July 13th, 2020
But really, it’s you and I, says Schwab, who are the ones driving this,
demanding “radical solutions” and “alternatives.”

How will this generation respond? By proposing radical solutions (and
often radical action) in an attempt to prevent the next disaster from
striking – whether it’s climate change or social inequalities. It will
most likely demand a radical alternative to the present course because
its members are frustrated and dogged by a nagging belief that the
current system is fractured beyond repair.

Schwab, Klaus; Malleret, Thierry. COVID-19: The Great Reset (p. 102).
Forum Publishing, Kindle Edition.

Actually, most of us simply want our power to stay on, lower prices,
less taxes, a good job — and for globalists to butt out of our lives
with their man-made crises. Do you recall voting for this revolutionary
“Great Reset”? Neither do I. But then again, Communism never was about a
democratic vote.8

(As a side note, it is no surprise that the former Executive Director of
the Pembina Institute, Ed Whittingham, was also a past member of the
World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Future of Oil and
Gas.9)

As such, the “environmentalists” aren’t coming to save our communities
from industrial wind plants — they are busy dismantling capitalism and
the West as we know it. The true environmentalists aren’t tree-huggers
either. They’re not brainwashed youth throwing soup on fine art or
marching to the scripted axioms of Greta Thunberg. They aren’t lobbyists
or corporate interests. They are what you’d expect: acreage owners, many
farmers, nature lovers… those who treasure the value of pristine
viewscapes, who know the importance of clean water wells, and who
understand the delicate balance of ecology — because they live and play
in it.

May God soon deliver us from green ideologists who care more for carbon
taxes and their utopian dreams than creation.

There is one environmentalist, Michael Shellenberger, who has awoken to
the damage of “renewables” such as wind and solar. Watch him explain his
revelations here[?]
Guilbeault – An Existential Threat to Canada[?]
cf. pembina.org/media-release/1739 and
pembina.org/reports/borealbirdsreport.pdf[?]
Bear in mind that carbon credits have risen substantially since 2019 and
that 9.8 million would be much higher today.[?]
cf. Subsidies – The Big Appeal for Wind Farms[?]
Strong was behind Agenda 21, signed onto by 178 member nations, and that
called for the abolition of “national sovereignty” and the dissolution
of property rights: “Land… cannot be treated as an ordinary asset,
controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and
inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal
instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore
contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major
obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes.”

To be clear, we are speaking of a neo-communist movement today, one that
blends capitalism and Marxist principles under the guise of “saving the
planet” and “healthcare”, of “equality” and “justice”… while destroying
pretty much all of it at the same time.[?]
