Virgin Islands AG Begins Persecution Of Climate Change Skeptics


From the Independent Sentinel:
We have our first attack against “climate change” deniers by one of the 16 AGs who have formed a group specifically to go after the free speech of anyone who disagrees with their extreme views on climate change. 
If you recall former Vice President and global warming guru Al Gore and 16 Attorneys General, calling themselves the “AGs United for Clean Power”, announced at a press conference last week that they will criminalize climate change denial by corporations. 
This is meant to squelch dissent and free speech. The first volley was lobbed by the US Attorney General for the Virgin Islands, one of the sixteen, and he is going after a powerful think tank, Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). 
Are they our new thought police? The CEI website describes their organization as a non-profit public policy organization dedicated to advancing the principles of limited government, free enterprise, and individual liberty. 
Our mission is to promote both freedom and fairness by making good policy good politics. We make the uncompromising case for economic freedom because we believe it is essential for entrepreneurship, innovation, and prosperity to flourish. 
The AG has demanded 20 years of their climate work and their goal is intimidation. This is a fishing expedition and if they succeed in their assault, it will have a chilling effect on free speech. 
This is particularly shocking because they are going after a think tank, not an oil or gas company. Think about that! New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman told the gaggle of press that “The bottom line is simple: Climate change is real” and if companies are committing fraud by “lying” about the dangers of climate change, they will “pursue them to the fullest extent of the law.”

This persecution may have a plus side. if those prosecuted by the AGS grew a pair and force this whole scam into court, the climate deniers will have a wildly publicized case that could make the global warming kooks show themselves for what they are. Facts will have to come out in the case on both sides and the climate deniers will literally have their day in public court with the MSM forced to follow the facts in the case.

This new fascist strategy could backfire on them.

These assholes who want to prosecute people for speaking against the AGW template do not believe in AGW themselves.

They believe in AGW just as much as the Soviets rulers believed in their re-written histories.

That is, NOT A BIT.

AGW is an economic scam.

That's all it is.

It is simply a way for them to divert money into black budgets and slush funds for themselves and their progeny.

We need a revolution.

These problems won't be solved by voting.

And yes, the chick who was in charge of the IPCC openly stated that the global warming scam had only economic goals (destroy capitalism)
