The news is a fiction much like your favorite episodic TV series. They manufacture a story, frame it, bring in the actors to sell it. Until America understands this, we are susceptible to manipulation and thought control.
The Leftist Green Agenda Is Buying Its Way Into The News
By: Larry Behrens, The Federalist, May 30, 2023
Take a moment to consider the phrase “Joe Biden’s hard-hat environmentalism” that appeared in a recent Associated Press article. Examining Biden’s controversial energy policy and assigning it the positive spin of “hard-hat environmentalism” is something that makes sense as a White House press release or something from the Biden campaign, but not the AP, a purported objective carrier of the news.
Story continues below advertisementUnfortunately, this is not an isolated incident.
One recent analysis found AP stories mentioned the phrases “climate change,” “global warming,” and “Climate disaster” hundreds of times since receiving grants totaling $8 million in early 2022. The stated purpose of the money is to fund the AP’s “Climate Journalism Initiative,” which would employ 20 new reporters to “transform how the AP covers the climate story.”
Perhaps it also funded the story that gave us Biden’s hard-hat environmentalism?
In another example from the story, former top Clinton adviser John Podesta is heavily quoted in his role as overseer of the $369 billion for green energy from Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act. The story fails to mention Podesta’s political operative past, including his unofficial title of “White House clean-up chief” during the Clinton years. Also quoted are the extreme eco-groups the Natural Resources Defense Council and Center for Biological Diversity. They are all given a lot of space in a story with a lot of reach.
As a wire service, the hard-hat rebranding from the AP will appear in thousands of newspapers across the world as news. We don’t know if the millions the AP received for climate coverage played a role in helping Biden rebrand his energy policy, and that’s precisely the point.
It is no secret that across the country, particularly in rural areas, newspapers are struggling to survive. It’s not unusual to walk into a small-town newspaper and find one person covering what used to be two or even three different full-time positions. The environmental left recognized this struggle and is now providing money and reporter reeducation to fill the void with its own version of the news.
It’s an ethically questionable but smart strategy that is paying immediate dividends.
As just one of many examples, the nationally recognized Poynter Institute recently offered $15,000 grants to reporters or newsrooms willing to cover the Great Lakes area with some eco-strings attached. Any reporter wanting in on the money will have to tell Poynter “A brief description of what they will probe, why they believe there is a story to be told, and how they plan to report the story.” Put another way, reporters must disclose what they cover and how they will cover it before the money flows.
The program receives “funding support” from the Joyce Foundation, and it didn’t take long to see who provides their support. According to documents filed with the IRS, none other than Bloomberg Philanthropies provided millions to Joyce — yes, as in billionaire and climate darling Michael Bloomberg.
By following the bouncing ball of eco-money, there’s a troubling pattern of a frontline journalism association offering grants to reporters, provided they disclose how they will report their stories, by using money that can be traced back to a billionaire with a big green agenda. If it all seems confusing, that’s because it was designed that way.
Proponents of the green movement are putting millions into grants to sneak content supportive of their agenda under the umbrella of news outlets. Sure, the first story or two may include a small disclaimer at the end noting how the story is part of a project funded by an organization. However, green funders put many layers between themselves and the final project to ensure their fingerprints are nowhere to be found.

Only a few years ago some of those left –wing climate change alarmists are so very irrational actually feel that engaging in vandalism will, somehow, help their agenda . Vandalism only increases environmental waste.
For example, some of them arrived at a museum to act out their vandalism ? By a car or some other type of vehicle ?
If so they are burning more fossil fuels and thus adding to the “climate problem.”

All this left-wing frantic “chicken little” hysteria about environmental “climate change” of alarm is absurd.
It might even be that the subject of “climate change” is a topic that is used by the Biden crew to distract the American people away for the harm done by President pretender Biden of the United States with his terribly flawed fool Socialist economic policies that are wrecking the US economy.
Joe Biden is a catastrophe and calamity for America, a disaster, and a tragedy for the American people.
President impostor Biden is not just a sinister feeble -minded idiot. Worse .yet, he’s a dangerous sinister feeble minded idiot.

One early summer day I was watching on television an educated man and likewise a scholar who had written a book about environmental degradation concerns. His message was rather alarming and disturbing. This is because he had in his book, predicted, that in not more than forty years all life, including human life, will become uninhabitable on earth because of pollution.
That was an early summer day of the year 1967. So now in this current year of 2023, over fifty years and not forty his error of prediction is easily now seen to be in great error.
So modern history is repeating itself again, this that alarmist environmental scholar of the year of 1967 is now replaced by environmental experts on the subjects of “global warming” and “climate change.”
This should tell all thinking people something.

All this left-wing frantic hysteria John Kerry “chicken little” environmental hysteria about “climate change” of alarm is absurd.
In addition, related to this is that the futurists who helped contribute to the making of 1973 movie entitled “Soylent Green” had made movie about that life on earth would be like in the far-distant year of 2022. For from the worldview from the timeframe 1973 , the year 2022 was ,very much , seen as distant future.
The point is environmental experts of 1973 who had a hand in the making of that movie had been proven completely wrong in everything they had predicted what life for people would be like because of environmental pollution in the year of 2023. In this year, 2023 this are still not even close to that that movie predicted
This should tell all thinking people something.
Go ahead a watch that movie , you might find it very amusing.

The leftist climate hoax is being pushed by this government, every where they can force it on the people of the world. They are going after all the appliances in the home, such as gas stoves and dishwashers. what will be next?

Installed by fake elections, leftist political hacks deviate in every way imaginable in every western nation to attack freedom and justice. Clearly seen in Canuckistan under slime minister turdo and in USA by biDUMB and corrupt ASSministrations.

Yes, the planet is getting warmer …. that’s what happens at the end of an Ice Age, or, the Ice Age would not be ending.
No, the “climate” is not “warming” …… it is a 70 year (roughly) cycle were the “warming” ended around 2oo7 and has been cooling, and will continue for another 20+ years.
Yes, the “weather” is becoming more severe …. that’s what happens during a cooling cycle ….. remember the 50s and 60s? During a “warming”, the weather is mild (like we have had for 50 years)
1970s – Oh, My, God, we’re all going to die in the coming Ice Age.
1938 – Hottest on record?
1902 – Niagara frozen solid
1860s – More men die from heat related causes than all battle wounds combined
1834 – Cattle found frozen to death, standing up, on the plains of Wyoming
1802 – Ship’s Log – If the deep sea temperature continues to rise at this rate, the Grand Banks will be dead in 10 years
1770s – Valley Forge, Delaware River Crossing ……..
Every 30 – 35 years the “climate” swing from warm to cool, or cool to warm.
Viking Farmsteads found as ice melts back along the perimeter of Greenland. So, ask yourself, did the Viking jack-up the ice, build a stone farmstead, and let the ice back down on top of their handiwork? Or, was it warm enough to farm?
Early Roman Warm Period – England was the premier wine growing region for the Roman Empire
Medieval Optimum – Why was it called “Optimum”
Minoan Warming?
As a geologist, I have studied the last 600,000 years of RECENT Earth’s history ….. this ain’t nothin new!!!

You must also know that petroleum and natural gas and coal come from the earth and not from formerly living things. The earth is a hydrocarbon factory. The climate crisis scare (LIE) is on top of the “fossil fuel” scare (LIE about the source and supposedly limited supply).
BOTH are used to limit our prosperity to control us. Worse yet, they are literally murdering the idea of free people prospering by controlling government. The idea of government serving people instead of ruling them is their worst nightmare. The USA is (was) the example that would topple ALL of the old rulers (rulers by bloodlines – kings/royalty) from their own soil. The USA was born an upside down pyramid of power, defying the rule of a king.

Read an article on accuweather a few months ago where the author tried to blame a rouge wave hitting a ship on global warming with absolutely no correlating data. Just a statement as fact.
