RICO Prosecution of Climate Chaos Skeptics

[bripat9643]

The leftwing douche bags in this forum will all claim they believe in freedom of speech. However, the vast majority of them support this Stalinist crap. when they can't win in the marketplace of ideas, the resort to the police state:

Paul Driessen - RICO Prosecution of Climate Chaos Skeptics​

It’s been a rough stretch for Climate Armageddon religionists and totalitarians.

Real World science, climate and weather events just don’t support their manmade cataclysm narrative. The horrid consequences of anti-fossil fuel energy policies are increasingly in the news. And despite campaigns by the $1.5-trillion-per-year government-industry-activist-scientific Climate Crisis Consortium, Americans consistently rank global warming at the very bottom of their serious concerns.

But instead of debating their critics, or marshaling a more persuasive, evidence-based case that we really do face a manmade climate catastrophe, alarmists have ramped up their shrill rhetoric, imposed more anti-hydrocarbon edicts by executive fiat and unratified treaty – and launched RICO attacks on their critics.

Spurred on by Senator Sheldon “Torquemada” Whitehouse (D-RI), Jagadish Shukla and his RICO-20 agitators, and their comrades, 16 of the nation’s 18 Democratic attorneys general (the other 32 are Republican) announced on March 29 that they are going after those who commit the unpardonable offense of questioning “consensus” climate science.

If companies are “committing fraud,” by “knowingly deceiving” the public about the threat of man-made carbon dioxide emissions and climate change, New York AG Eric Schneiderman intoned, “we want to expose it and pursue them to the fullest extent of the law,” under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. “The First Amendment does not give you the right to commit fraud.”

Their initial target is ExxonMobil, but other companies, think tanks like CFACT and the Heartland Institute (with which I am affiliated), and even independent researchers and analysts (like myself) will be in their crosshairs. Even United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch says her office has “discussed” similar actions and “referred [the matter] to the FBI.”

These RICO investigations and prosecutions are chilling, unprecedented and blatantly un-American. They abuse our legal and judicial processes and obliterate the First Amendment freedom of speech rights of anyone who questions the catechism of climate cataclysm. The AGs’ actions are intended to browbeat skeptics into silence, bankrupt them with monumental legal fees and fines – and unjustly jail a few.

It is the campus “crime” of “unwelcome ideas” and “micro-aggression” on steroids. It is the inevitable result of President Obama’s determination to “fundamentally transform” the United States, ensure that electricity rates “necessarily skyrocket,” and carve his energy and climate policy legacy in granite.

I think it's safe to say that these persecutions won't get very far.

There's absolutely no basis in law to charge anyone and there isn't a judge, anywhere that would allow this dog and pony show to take place in his court.

Let's hope you are correct.

I truly despise these leftwing douche bag AGW cult members.

It's a pretty open-and-shut case with Exxon. Exxon's own documents show they knew global warming scence was good, and chose to deliberately lie about it, in order to increase their own profits. That's textbook racketeering, and is thus is covered by RICO.

However, financial motive is not required for racketeering. For example, if a denier think tank deliberately lied about the science, as they all do, in order to gain political power, that could also be considered to be racketeering.

Fortunately for deniers, rank stupidity is a valid defense, as racketeering does require intent. There has to be proof, as is present with the Exxon case, that the deniers knew they were lying about the science. And since most of the individual denier cultists here are just hysterical, stupid and thoroughly brainwashed, they're all off the hook.

Also, as individuals with no power, it's essentially impossible for single deniers to be guilty of racketeering. Acting like a crazy person on a message board may be immoral, but it will never be illegal.

All the members of the AGW cult should be prosecuted for racketeering.

For your claims to be true, AGW would have to be proven true beyond any reasonable doubt, and that's a case you just can't make. You can't even come close.

The real RICO issues in our country right now are the Clinton Foundation and the Google-Obama connection.

Just sayin'.

There's NO law that forces companies to confirm to global warming fantasies. There's no legal way to prosecute anyone for not believing in global warming.

If I'm wrong, it'll be time to forget the ballot box and go to the cartrige box.

That makes zero sense.

and that's a case you just can't make. You can't even come close.

The whole planet disagrees with you.

And that's not because of VastSecretGlobalSocialist conspiracy. It's because your science really does stink that badly.

But I can see the attraction of your cult. You get to think of yourself as wise and special, you get an excuse to sputter unhinged hatred at liberals, and all you have to do is cut-and-paste some propaganda your masters fed you. The emotional appeal of that must be irresistible to the lazy and morally weak.

True, it may come down to that. I wouldn't be surprised if civil war broke out in the next couple of decades.

Replace the word "liberals" with "conservatives" and that describes exactly what you do. Must be a case of transference.

Cherry picking data, making data up out of whole cloth, threats, intimidation, name-calling, and now legal charges.

All because they cannot actually do science.

Real science isn't the point. Redistributing the wealth of the West is the real agenda.

U.N. Official Admits: We Redistribute World’s Wealth by Climate Policy

And it's not a coincidence that Big Government Cronies such as Algore and Kleiner Perkins are right there to "invest" in government mandated "green energy schemes" in which profits are privatized and risks are socialized.

History has shown that the left are very capable of using lies in order to jail and eventually kill in masses.

Do not underestimate how evil the left is and what the real goals are of those who are deliberately and willfully lying about this 2 trillion dollar industry.
