AOC Chief of Staff Confirms: It’s About Controlling People, Not the Climate

They are called watermelons for good reason: environmentalist green on the outside, commie red on the inside. Saikat Chakrabarti, the malevolent brains behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has openly confirmed what we all knew; her Khmer Rouge–style Green New Deal (which has been backed by Democrat presidential candidates) is intended to impose centralized political control, not to control the climate:

“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Saikat Chakrabarti said in May, according to The Washington Post.

He reportedly made the remarks to Sam Ricketts, climate director for 2020 hopeful and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who the Post says greeted the statement with “an attentive poker face.”

Inslee is running for POTUS on a single issue: the same global warming hoax that AOC and her Chief of Staff Charkabarti hope to exploit to impose a socialist takeover of the United States.

“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Chakrabarti then asked. “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”

That’s what it is, all right. Except that you aren’t supposed to say it out loud. Doing so suggests that Chakrabarti is either less clever or more arrogant than we thought.

Imposing the Green New Deal would destroy America as we know it. USSR-style government control would be established over the economy, energy, and transportation. However, the pre-industrial standard of living that would be imposed in a futile attempt to prevent harmless carbon emissions would make the Soviet Union look like a capitalist paradise by comparison.

Chakrabarti did not tell us anything we don’t already know about radical environmentalism, which currently manifests itself as the global warming hoax. Climate Depot provides some informative links, including these:

It is well known that even the most radical climate proposals would have zero perceptible effect on the supposedly problematic climate. Even EPA models confirm this. But they would have plenty effect on our freedom and our standard of living.

At great expense, the USA amassed a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons to assure that Americans would never have to live in the hell that is communism. Attempting to keep up, the Soviet Union spent itself to collapse. But we are hardly out of the woods. The radicalized Democrat Party is far more of a threat to America than Russia ever was.
