The climate issue is a classic example: a small number of very rich people with short term corporate and personal profit interest have corrupted the political system into climate change denial and inaction on the issue. semente and esldude 2 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

If you do, you should discover that it was David Rockefeller (the grand daddy of US globalism) and his globalist buddies who in I think 1978 at Rockefeller's vacation home in Rome conceived of the idea of creating a global crisis that the entire world could rally around and contribute their resources to. They called it Global Warming. If you do your research there, you should easily discover why they did it (it ain't pretty) and why some of you are evidence that their strategy is working rather well. Maybe then you can fast forward to 2009 and google ClimateGate and there you should discover that some of you have been duped for decades (by scientists no less) and there you'll also discover why overnight they ceased using the phrase Global Warming and now use the phrase Climate Change. And if you think all this is joke, why not spend a few moments to research what some of the globalists' ultimate goals are. Try googling Georgia Guidestones and there you'll see in 10 languages the globalists 10 tenets / suggestions for mother earth. I know, I know. Some of you are thinking I'm just another nutty conspiracy theorist but that's not true at all. I'm just smarter than some of you. Comparing her to Nazis is just sick and puerile. She's blonde, because a lot of people in that area of the world are. And she has pigtail braids: just like millions of girls all over the world - before the Nazis ever existed. As far as your globalist conspiracy theories, I was waiting for you to blame it on Soros and the Jews. But what a relief that you are such a smart guy that you didn't do that.

I was merely illustrating how perverted governments and globalists use similar tools to promote their propaganda. See below. Perhaps I could have substititued your charicature in place of Greta's but I don't have one. Please send me one. In case you're unaware, one of the Third Reich's many strategies was first indoctrinate the women, then the children, and the men will follow. Have you noticed in recent weeks all the children protesting climate change? If you wanna' follow the leadership of a brainwashed / indoctrinated 16-year old girl with autism, that is your choice. As for George Soros, yes, to the best of my knowledge he's a major player in this new world order / globalist movement. Far more engaged than even somebody like David Rockefeller, if that were even possible. But he's still a puppet. As for jews, not sure why you bring them up, except that Soros himself is jewish and was a traitor to his own. What are you insinuating? That Soros doesn't exist? That he's not a globalist or that he's not caused great damage to the US and to other nations? That globalism is good thing led by those who care about you and your family? It's been said that condemnation without investigation gives clear evidence of indoctrination and I'd venture you've substatiated that with your response here. Then again, if all of your news comes from NPR and mainstream media, well, that's still a choice you made long ago and you have only yourself to blame. Speaking of which, feel free to research operation mockingbird that was started in the 1950's and continues to this day. Or since you don't seem too keen on research maybe you can learn something from this 43 sec excerpt of a speech David Rockefeller gave at the Council on Foreign Relations back in 1991. That could give you some insight. Unless of course you think the CFR itself is a branch of gov't including a group of really nice people who have your best interest in mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZD7pDPK7N8 It's amazing how people like you think they are so smart with all their "references". I'm willing to bet that I know a lot more SUBSTANTIATED facts about just about any of these subjects than you. In spite of your claims, you base your conspiracy theories on the most unreliable sources available. I also don't have time for your ignorant paranoid BS.

And not by accident. And yes, it is a strategy to indoctrinate or draw in the women, then the children, and the might of the men is nulled out. The men end up following. Definitely not by accident. Let us see, just an off the top of my head example is the DA in Chicago, who "mis-handled" the Jussie Smollett Hoax crime. Yes Kimberly Foxx. She was largely funded by Soros to get that position. She is on a list of a couple dozen DA's who were funded by Soros money. They all follow a similar pattern too. Ignore or wipe off the books petty crimes (because it is racist). Drop prosecution of such things selectively. The selection is obvious too. Soros believes in democracy and is/was a serious anti-Communist. Some may or may not agree with some of his opinions, but those who portray him as part of some sort of anti-US cabal are mistaken. He apparently has a different idea of what a society/democracy should be like than many people. We can disagree with peoples opinions without thinking that those who don't think like us have nefarious motives. Note that I'm not specifically referring to you here.

I think he is transparent about what he thinks, but I disagree to the point I think they are nefarious. Maybe not a nefarious plot with others, but nefarious. He has the resources to approach this from several angles and does. It isn't a conspiracy with anyone except himself. He is a naturalized US citizen. I don't think his actions are making life in the USA (where he is a naturalized citizen) better. Can I ask why it's important to emphasize that he's a "naturalized" citizen? Does that somehow make him less of a citizen?

Many are weathy and so have all sorts of financial interests. Manchin isn't unique. Priaptor made a good point: he represents a state dependent on coal and fossil fuel industries. His role is to represent his constituents. One could argue he should be helping his state by leading an orderly transition away from fossil fuels. But that is sort of a different argument.

In the US there are true Conservatives and Libertarians, and there are Republicans - who claim to be Conservatives, but today aren't really. They seem to have become just sort of an "anti-liberal" tribe. I can't see any coherent world view there. It seems to have become mostly a party concerned with culture wars. Priaptor seems to be a consistent member of the first group, which has the virtue of having a logical world view. In some instances people with that POV agree with people on the left, but for different reasons than the left has, and their solutions will be different ones. You can disagree with that POV, but it can't be simply dismissed as lacking in insight or understanding.
