Gore Effect Hits Occupiers: Sunday Is Climate Justice Day

Written By : William Teach

They really should have known that the moment they planned an unhinged event such as Climate Justice Day, it would snow

(Grist) If you’ve been wondering whether, and how, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests relate to the environment, events planned for Sunday may offer some answers.

Except, the climate change hoax movement has nothing to do with the environment, and everything to do with redistribution of wealth, along with putting more and more control of people, businesses, and economies in the hands of government. Pure fascism.

As part of a Climate Justice Day event at New York City’s Zuccotti Park, OWS’s environmental working group is organizing activities, panels and teach-ins on topics ranging from fracking and nuclear energy to clean water and sustainable economics.

Shockingly, missing from the docket is how Occupiers can live the lives they say everyone else should live. In fact, the environmental issues to be discussed have nothing to do with the climate, except in terms of providing sweet, sweet energy that provides a comfortable existence to humans. But, the little morons apparently thought that naming it Climate Justice Day #1 was a good idea, and that there would be “Environmentalist Solidarity.” The first topic is

Nightmare on Wall St: Capitalism and the Roots of the Ecological Crisis

Hmm, sure seems like they are pushing away from a capitalistic system, perhaps into a Marxist one? And the point of the day?

To bring environmentalist forces and voices together to holistically inform political, economical and social debates inside and outside OWS.

And yet, very few of the Occupiers will actually take any measures in their own lives and are, in fact, damaging the environment in the areas they are occupying. And because they are complete hypocrites, they get

Visited Occupy Ottawa this morning. It was day break when I got there and not much activity. Hard work squatting, so everyone’s sleeping in.

Are the newspapers covering the event? That’s what it is all about canuck, education. In the meantime, enjoy your social democracy and the benefits it gives you, in spite of your complaints. I will eat straw on your behalf if you can show the rest of us that you have actually refused to accept the benefits of Canada’s social democracy, like medical care as one example.

Do you refuse the socialized medical system, and use the private system? Don’t respond, hypocrite.

Silly fartslick, why would I have to give any of it up? I contribute.

So now you admit that you know how it works. Still, as an adversary of socialism, why are you contributing to the take? Rebel and maybe you can become like us: the rich and famous deserve it all.

You have it backwards Teach. OWS is all about getting our government out of the hands of the corporations. Any dunce could see that, if he would only listen. Corporatism (government corruption) is the evil that besets us. Lying liars like yourself know this, except for a handful of dense bloggers on small places such as RWN.

Well, just like your master Obama, you think the best way to get people on your side is insulting them.

So, if you are upset about this, then you won’t be voting for Obama, right, since he is a 1%er, and deeply in bed with Wall Street, the banks, and other big heartless corporations, right?

Don’t forget to include Buffet and Gates in that 1% as well. Still, I doubt that Obama’s income reaches that level, certainly not his total wealth.

Still, I doubt that Obama’s income reaches that level, certainly not his total wealth.

I’d be really surprised if Mr. Obama wasn’t in the top 1%. The latest (2009) IRS data released back in October had the threshold for the “1% Club” starting at an AGI of $347,927. I’ve since seen estimates that for 2010 that figure is just over $350k. Since Mr. Obama’s salary is $400,000 and he’s still earning other money from his book sales and his investments, he probably made into the top 1% group with room to spare.

BTW, the same report indicated that the average income of the 1% group fell from two years earlier (2007) from $1.4MM to $1MM for the last year of data available. At the same time, their average effective tax rate paid went up from 22.45% to 24.01% over the same time frame.

Note also that the top 1% paid 36.7% of all federal income tax for 2009; the top 5% (AGI over $154,643) – 58.66%; the top 10% (AGI over $112,124 – 70.47%. The bottom 50% paid 2.25%.

Finally, something I agree with. Corporatism (government corruption) is the evil that besets us.

But explain why the OWS fools and you protest the corporations but don’t protest the corrupt Government officials and the corrupt policies they put in place? You are almost there but like the OWS fools you mistake the cause, corporations accepting money that the Government in a few cases literally forced them to take, with the real cause of the economic problems: a Government that interfers waaaay to much in the economy and in the decision making process of wealth producers.

Government consumes wealth, capitalists create wealth. You want to transfer more and more wealth from the producers to the consumers and when less wealth is produced, at first you won’t understand because the correct policies are in place, but eventually, you’ll blame the evil producers for wanting to keep the crumbs you’ve allowed them.

Fascism is just as ugly whether you dress it up as social democracy or if you call it Nazism.

There’s a lot of problems with the bailouts and the way fat cats are working with government insiders to stack the deck for them and against consumers, but that’s government causing the problem, not just corporations. If it was just corporations and no government was involved, it wouldn’t work.

And they do it through regulations, by getting them crafted to help out Goldman-Sachs and the rest of the big fat cats. That’s the problem, and more regulations won’t fix it.

You’re beginning to understand the OCCUPY movement. Obama is not immune from its focus, even though that goes back some decades, at least to the changes Reagan made in the tax code and his penchant for supporting free-wheeling capitalism, unfettered by unions.

Reagan IMPROVED the economy by shutting out unions and restricting the tax code. Thanks for failing to understand the history you lived through.

Strange conclusion: the US, Canada, and most if not all of the EU countries are social democracies. Sweden, on of the oldest, has been a social democracy since the 1930s,

Nazism was contained in a dictatorship that strongly controlled the corporations.

Very odd. Or is this just another example of the Godwin principle?

We aren’t a social democracy, moron, we’re not any kind of democracy. And the social part is not constitutional either.

Germany was a republic too, dipshit.

You are aware, I would hope, that corporatism, properly defined, is a branch of syndicalism, which is, in turn, a branch of socialism. The extent to which government intervenes in the economy is the extent to which actors, including…wonder of wonders…corporations act to influence government policy. If you or the OWS gang want corporations to play little role in politics, get the government out of the affairs of business.
