Kerry Exploits Obamacare Passage to Propose Carbon Tax

Following their successful effort to force totalitarian health control legislation down the throats of the American people, Obama’s allies are now pushing for climate change legislation.

“Twenty-two Democratic senators have signed a letter calling for climate legislation within the year, although some observers question whether the White House will want another divisive vote as November midterm elections approach,” reports AFP.

The effort is led by the CFR insider and Bonesman John Kerry. “In the wake of health care’s passage, we have a strong case to make that this can be the next breakthrough legislative fight,” senator Kerry said on Tuesday. “Climate legislation is the single best opportunity we have to create jobs, reduce pollution and stop sending billions overseas for foreign oil from countries that would do us harm.”

Kerry has teamed up with Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) in an effort to foist a carbon tax scheme on the American people. A proposed Senate bill peddled by the trio would would impose a cap-and-trade system in 2012 on electric utilities. The bill would also levy a heft gasoline tax on consumers.

The Kerry-Graham-Lieberman draft is consistent with Obama's principles and similar in its policy aims to the Waxman-Markey ACES Act. In 2008, Obama admitted that a carbon tax would impose a heavy burden on the American people.

Studies reveal that if implemented the Waxman-Markey bill would cost the economy $161 billion in 2020, which is $1,870 for a family of four. As the bill’s restrictions kick in, that number rises to $6,800 for a family of four by 2035.

An earlier bill proposed by Lieberman and former senator John Warner would have established annual targets to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and reduce them another 80 percent by 2050. “The bill was rejected for a very good reason — its passage would have created economic conditions comparable to a new Great Depression and sunk America to near third world status,” noted Paul Joseph Watson for Prison Planet on November 19, 2008.

Carbon tax schemes are predicated on the illusion of anthropogenic climate change. Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history, however, constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history. Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time. A large body of scientific research — including a NASA study — suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years, not humans.

Leaked emails from British climate scientists at the Climatic Research Unit reveal how the global warming community manipulated data in order to exaggerate global warming.

As Infowars and Prison Planet have long argued, exaggerated and falsified climate data and hysterical arguments of an impending climatic Armageddon are used by our rulers to push for world government and a rollback of civilization for the masses.

“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill,” the Club of Rome write in 1991.

The Club of Rome is a neo-Malthusian organization with interlocking membership with European power elite groups such as the Committee of 300 (a secret society founded by the British aristocracy in 1727) and the Bilderberg Group. It has argued that world population must be reduced by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease and any other means necessary. “The real enemy, then, is humanity itself,” it declared in The First Global Revolution.

The Kerry-Graham-Lieberman proposal will likely encounter stiff opposition in Congress. Thomas Mann, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, said climate change and immigration will require serious Republican cooperation. “I don’t see that developing anytime soon,” he said, especially after Democrats rammed through Obama’s draconian health care “reform.”
