The interaction was filmed and posted on Twitter by the Sunrise Movement, an organization dedicated to “building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and elect leaders who stand up for the health and well-being of all people,” according to their website.In the days when journalists were serious, a publicity stunt like this would get just about zero attention. No reporter would interview children of that age, and no politician would talk with them, because everyone would know that the kids are only parroting what they've been taught to parrot. An organization like Sunrise Movement couldn't exist in a non-Saul Alinsky world.
The only reason there are kids in her office at all is to try to make her look bad: heartless, child hater, hate the earth and so on. This whole thing was done at the least to embarrass Di-Fi and possibly to make her look bad for an attempt to primary her in her next election cycle. Judging by the Twits on Twitter, most of the adults can't see that.
Their cover story, all their carefully indoctrinated talking points, were Green New Deal talking points. Di-Fi had the sense to tell them it's not likely to pass under current conditions, but that wasn't good enough for the little Wokescolds. (H/T Sense of Events)
Feinstein went on to explain that she doesn’t believe the Green New Deal will pass in a Republican-controlled Senate, adding that she has drafted up her own version of the bill that she believes is more likely to pass. She had copies of her version of the bill printed out and distributed among the group.Sunrise Movement indoctrinated the kids to claim that the world will end in 10 years If We Don't Pass This Right Now!!! Again, as I've been talking about lately, that's simply not true. The UN IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the body formed specifically to find a way to blame humans for bad things, to extort money out of rich countries, that IPCC, in their latest report doesn't say anything remotely close to what Sunrise Movement or Occasional Cortex say. To borrow a money quote from Dr. Judith Curry - a "warmist" - posted by Borepatch:
“Every single catastrophic scenario considered by the IPCC AR5 (WGII, Table 12.4) has a rating of very unlikely or exceptionally unlikely and/or has low confidence. The only tipping point that the IPCC considers likely in the 21stcentury is disappearance of Arctic summer sea ice (which is fairly reversible, since sea ice freezes every winter).”Dr. Curry goes on to say (from this post on her blog):
Thinking that catastrophes like major hurricane landfalls, massive forest fires etc. will be ‘cured’ by eliminating fossil fuel emissions is laughable. Well its not really funny. Thinking that eliminating fossil fuel emissions will ‘solve’ the problem of extreme weather events is very sad, sort of on the level of doing rain dances.Putting small children in positions like this is child exploitation, pure and simple. Sunrise Movement should be subject to arrest for it.

I've interacted personally with Di-Fi on legislation and there are quite a number of areas where she and I agree. I hate to admit that, but it's true. There are more where we don't agree, but she's a career politician and is smooth and knows where the skeletons are buried. That graveyard knowledge was put into play on my (program's) behalf.
ReplyDeleteAs to the kids, whoever put them forward should be horsewhipped.
I figure that I'll invoke the crude statistical argument that if something happens less than 5% of the time, it's probably a random event. (A really sloppy way of evaluating p = .05)
DeleteAgreeing with Di-Fi for me is a random event.
Except for her gun confiscation obsession, I couldn't name a thing she's done, good or bad. I just haven't followed her - she's a whole country away from my district. Still, I'd be surprised if we agreed on more than 5%.
DiFi is anti crime. Take the Democrat obsession over gun control out of the mix for the sake of argument. She is also pro-labor in the sense that the old Democrats used to be. While a professional politician, she does have a sense of compassion, and I found that to be genuine.
DeleteI have to say after reading the article you liked "wokescolds" to, that that looks a bunch of Excellent Sheep.....

ReplyDelete1) If she every used a phrase like "think of the children" or "if it saves one child's life", she deserved bit of embarrassment she got
2) Yes, whoever put those kids up to it should be paddled hard.

I'd be shocked to death if she's never said at least one of those, if not both.

ReplyDeleteGorillas have pot bellies. Humans have shorter digestive tract lengths than gorillas, because they evolved to give up that extra length of gut in return for a requirement to cook their vegetables. Cooking is not a fad or a style, it is nutritionally mandatory external digestion. Similarly, humans evolved to stop carrying around a database of facts in their dna, such as for instance turkeys have. Adult turkeys don't teach their chicks which animals are dangerous, the chicks were were born with that knowledge. Instead of using dna, humans evolved to load facts into their brains while children using "culture", an external library transmitted by language and art. Human children have a genetically-programmed instinct to believe what they're told by authority figures. Children learning from teachers is not a fad or a style, it is intellectually mandatory brain development.
ReplyDeleteOnce humans are older than 30, the instinct to believe culture weakens and we can begin to use intellectual techniques to examine what's been loaded into our heads as children. For instance, the instinct to believe our teachers lends no strength to the claim that what our teachers told us as "facts" are true.
Therefore: journalists were never serious. Uncle Walter was feeding you propaganda in his television "programming", and lying by omission. The mainstream media always repeats what the powers-that-be have concluded: Government is necessary or we'll die in an orgy of murder. The Earth is at the center of the universe. My prophet talks to the universe's creator. Human population will rise exponentially, then we'll starve. The fossil fuels will soon run out. The climate is warming.
I speculate this latest morality play presented by the press is astroturf. Di-Fi's office probably wrote the children's script and hired them, as a way for Di-Fi to look progressive-moderate by comparison. Nothing about this event is direct observation of facts by your personal eyeballs. Instead there are half a dozen nested theater prosceniums. People you have misidentified as scientist-reporters are actually theater players a layer or two up in the play-within-a-play.
These days with cell phones capable of hi res video everywhere and access to the internet almost everywhere everyone believes themselves to be free lance journalists reporting to the world. From there it's a tiny step from reporting EVERYTHING seen to the world to FABRICATING things to report. And why bother creating a story if that story doesn't serve your needs. We are well past the point of "Believe nothin you aretold and only half of what you see. Now you can't even trust you own eyes as it's so easy to create real time real world lies.
