מה הקשר בין הנרטיב של שינוי אקלים וקומוניזם? | ריאיון עם בריאן סוסמן

Meteorologist and author Brian Sussman contends that the climate change narrative is closely tied to communist ideology. He points to the origins of Earth Day writings by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, criticizing industrialization and what he sees as a long-standing effort to use environmental fear to justify centralized control. In this interview, Sussman explains why he believes the debate over climate policy is ultimately a debate about freedom and governance. But what I find different from your approach is how you connect the climate change narrative with communism. Yes. And that's something that I haven't seen much of. So can you tell us, let's start with that, like how do you, what was the connection? When you look at the first Earth Day in 1972, I believe, 70 or 72, it occurred on April 22nd. On that particular April 22nd, Vladimir Lenin would have been 100 years old. That's the very first Earth Day. And then when you look at the characters behind Earth Day, these were all fellow travelers. These were all people who were American citizens, but they were dyed-in-the-wool communists. For me, that's where it all starts. But at the end of the day, when you look back on Friedrich Engels, Vladimir, I should say Karl Marx's writing partner. Yes. Friedrich Engels. This is in the 1800s. These people loathed capitalism. They loathed industrialism. They loathed people gaining wealth and enjoying their freedom. They loathed all of that. Friedrich Engels wrote a, quite frankly, brilliant piece, in terms of his descriptive words, saying that someday, because of industrialization, there would be massive amounts of pollution, and that pollution would disallow the sun's rays from coming to the earth, and the earth would freeze into a ball of ice. That was all because of industrialization. So in the late 1800s, here's Karl Marx's writing partner, Friedrich Engels, talking about global cooling. They've been at this game for a long, long time, and that's why I write about it. So what's the connection now? How do you see the actual connection in observing the activities of the climate change? Well, there was a gentleman, John Locke was his name, in the 1600s. He was an English philosopher. John Locke was the guy that America's founders looked at to come up with this idea of having a country based on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We can break that down in just a moment, and I will, but John Locke talked about the earth in a brilliant paper called Concerning Human Understanding. He said, the earth has been given to mankind by a higher power, by God. The earth has been given to mankind by God to support mankind and to provide mankind with happiness. Well, the communists don't want you to support yourself. They want to support you. They don't care about your happiness. In fact, they laugh at the idea of happiness. They want you to be their subjects. And so forever, I think the most clever, deceptive plan that they have come up with has been to use the fear of global warming, the fear of global cooling, the fear of climate change, to bring us into a point of submission whereby they can control us. Thanks for explaining that in just a few words. I know there's probably books and manuals and entire things about it, but just to get your input on that, I think that that's very valuable. Well, you know, it's also interesting because when you look at, and I don't apologize for talking about life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness so many times during this interview, because that's the foundation of freedom, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But what did Karl Marx come up with? He came up with something completely different. He had the rule of opposites, the rule of negation. His point was that in terms of opposites, people just don't get along. Therefore, we need a heavy-handed government to keep them under control. He believed in things like that, that would try to brainwash people to believe you'll never succeed, you'll never live without our control in your life. And so we want to expose all of that. And ESG is just another way for people to apply control onto the lives and businesses that have, in many cases, made this country great. I happen to agree with a lot of that, because growing up in a communist country, that's pretty much exactly what it feels like, that everything is controlled and everything is done for you. And if it wasn't for the government to provide for you, you would be completely lost. And many people were when things changed. You didn't know what to turn, what to do. Now, tell us, what motivates you to do what you're doing every day? What is that one factor that would say, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, and I'm going to show people what's right? I get emotional when I talk about these issues, but I think of my own children, and I think of my grandchildren, because their generations are being outnumbered. We've got these education factories that really don't care about the next generation of chemists and the next generation of innovators and the next generation of business people with great ideas that could really improve the lives of many. They're not interested in that. They're interested in indoctrination. And something we talked about prior to coming on the air here, it was Lenin who said, give me a child for eight years and I'll make them a Bolshevik forever. The Bolsheviks were the most radical wing of the communist party. Give me a child for eight years. That's all he needed, eight years. And what are we doing now? We send our kids to these public education systems and they don't just get them for eight years. They get them for 12 years. If you include kindergarten, that's 13 years. If you include preschool, that's 14. They get our kids for over a decade of brainwashing. And that's all the kids here. And the teacher could be wonderful. The teacher could be very nice. And the kids want to believe their teacher. And the kids want to get good grades, perhaps, to impress their parents. But they're learning absolute dreck. It's garbage. And this is what I fear about this country.
