OCASIO-CORTEZ: PROOF THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
OC
On the day before the new congressional session, incoming New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t wait to take to Twitter to announce her displeasure of reinstated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s attempt to modify the House Rules to impose a modicum of fiscal discipline on spending.
Speaking out against Pelosi’s proposed “Pay As You Go” (PAYGO) initiative …

This should not surprise anyone because Ocasio-Cortez wants to implement the so-called “Green New Deal,” a progressive socialist democrat initiative designed to use global climate change as the raison d'être to implement an agenda that controls our sovereignty, our economy, and our population.
Here are a few excerpts from the House Rules changes she supports …
DRAFT TEXT FOR PROPOSED ADDENDUM TO HOUSE RULES FOR 116TH CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
(1) ESTABLISHMENT; COMPOSITION.—
(A) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is hereby established a Select Committee For A Green New Deal (hereinafter in this section referred to as the “select committee”).
(B) COMPOSITION.—The select committee shall be composed of 15 members appointed by the Speaker, of whom 6 may be appointed on the recommendation of the Minority Leader. The Speaker shall designate one member of the select committee as its chair. A vacancy in the membership of the select committee shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.
(2) JURISDICTION; FUNCTIONS.—
(A) LEGISLATIVE JURISDICTION.—
(i) The select committee shall have authority to develop a detailed national, industrial, economic mobilization plan (hereinafter in this section referred to as the “Plan for a Green New Deal” or the “Plan”) for the transition of the United States economy to become greenhouse gas emissions neutral and to significantly draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and oceans and to promote economic and environmental justice and equality. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Plan shall: (a) be prepared in consultation with experts and leaders from business, labor, state and local governments, tribal nations, academia and broadly representative civil society groups and communities; (b) be driven by the federal government, in collaboration, co-creation and partnership with business, labor, state and local governments, tribal nations, research institutions and civil society groups and communities; (c) be executed in no longer than 10 years from the start of execution of such Plan; (d) provide opportunities for high income work, entrepreneurship and cooperative and public ownership; and (e) additionally, be responsive to, and in accordance with, the goals and guidelines relating to social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality set forth in paragraph (6).
[OCS: The progressive socialist democrats are seeking the power to destroy capitalism and implement a socialist system. Think of Cuba or Venezuela on steroids.]
(ii) In addition to preparing the Plan as set forth in paragraph (2)(A)(i), the select committee shall prepare draft legislation for the enactment of the Plan (hereinafter in this section referred to as the “draft legislation”), in accordance with this section. Such draft legislation may be prepared concurrently with the development of the Plan, or as the select committee may otherwise deem appropriate, provided that such finalized draft legislation shall be completed in accordance with the timing set forth in paragraph (5)(B)(ii).
(iii) The select committee shall not have legislative jurisdiction and shall have no authority to take legislative action on any bill or resolution, provided that the foregoing shall not affect the select committee’s ability to prepare draft legislation in accordance with paragraph (2)(A)(i) and (2)(A)(ii).
(B) INVESTIGATIVE JURISDICTION.—In furtherance of the mandate set forth in paragraph (2)(A), the select committee shall have the authority to investigate, study, make findings, convene experts and leaders from industry, academia, local communities, labor, finance, technology and any other industry or group that the select committee deems to be a relevant resource. The select committee may, at its discretion and as its members may deem appropriate, hold public hearings in connection with any aspect of its investigative functions.
[OCS: The progressive socialist democrats will abuse the power of their office to punish their enemies much as it was done in the Clinton and Obama administrations. As for hearings, they are clearly dog-and-pony shows for the media and accomplish little except for making headlines.]
(6) SCOPE OF THE PLAN FOR A GREEN NEW DEAL AND THE DRAFT LEGISLATION.—
(A) The Plan for a Green New Deal (and the draft legislation) shall be developed with the objective of reaching the following outcomes within the target window of 10 years from the start of execution of the Plan:
Dramatically expand existing renewable power sources and deploy new production capacity with the goal of meeting 100% of national power demand through renewable sources;
[OCS: This can never be achieved without resorting to nuclear energy which, as we all know, has been demonized by the progressive socialist democrats – mostly at the direction of the communists who feared losing ground to a nuclearized America with the overwhelming capacity to defend itself against hostile forces.]
building a national, energy-efficient, “smart” grid;
upgrading every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety;
eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing, agricultural and other industries, including by investing in local-scale agriculture in communities across the country;
eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from, repairing and improving transportation and other infrastructure, and upgrading water infrastructure to ensure universal access to clean water;
funding massive investment in the drawdown of greenhouse gases;
[OCS: There is absolutely no proof that controlling carbon dioxide, methane or any other trace greenhouse gasses will have an effect on the global climate (mostly impacted by China, India, and the Russia) and supersede the natural variability of climate, or be more effective than the greatest greenhouse gas – water vapor.]
making “green” technology, industry, expertise, products and services a major export of the United States, with the aim of becoming the undisputed international leader in helping other countries transition to completely greenhouse gas neutral economies and bringing about a global Green New Deal.
[OCS: Export technology which is mostly stolen and implemented by our enemies and others?]
(B) The Plan for a Green New Deal (and the draft legislation) shall recognize that a national, industrial, economic mobilization of this scope and scale is a historic opportunity to virtually eliminate poverty in the United States and to make prosperity, wealth and economic security available to everyone participating in the transformation. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Plan (and the draft legislation) shall:
provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training and education to be a full and equal participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage job to every person who wants one;
[OCS: One can anticipate massive Soviet-style government make-work programs that decouple productivity, wages, and rewards to produce apathetic workers who eventually grow lazy and game the system.]
diversify local and regional economies, with a particular focus on communities where the fossil fuel industry holds significant control over the labor market, to ensure workers have the necessary tools, opportunities, and economic assistance to succeed during the energy transition;
[OCS: Ignore that fossil fuels have driven the greatest expansion of industrialization for the common good in the history of mankind and that so-called green sources, with the exception of nuclear and geo-thermal, are not generally reliable, available on demand, and cost-efficient.]
require strong enforcement of labor, workplace safety, and wage standards that recognize the rights of workers to organize and unionize free of coercion, intimidation, and harassment, and creation of meaningful, quality, career employment;
[OCS: funny that the words coercion, intimidation, and harassment are used when they describe the very union recruitment and enforcement tactics the progressive socialist democrats are trying to promote.]
ensure a ‘just transition’ for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities and the front-line communities most affected by climate change, pollution and other environmental harm including by ensuring that local implementation of the transition is led from the community level and by prioritizing solutions that end the harms faced by front-line communities from climate change and environmental pollution;
[OCS: What does this mean except massive affirmative action programs to promote those communities who support progressive socialist democrats and their agenda? Everyone is harmed by adverse weather events – so control over the population is complete.]
protect and enforce sovereign rights and land rights of tribal nations;
mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level);
[OCS: can you say reparations, wealth-distribution, and control over private property?]
include additional measures such as basic income programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism; and
[OCS: there is not enough money in the United States to implement and pay for these programs, especially since much of the government is already financed on credit.]
deeply involve national and local labor unions to take a leadership role in the process of job training and worker deployment.
[OCS: The unions are socialistic creation and are anti-competitive. They reward seniority over merit, the status quo over innovation, the balkanization of single-employee tasks to make room for more workers, control their members with thuggish tactics – and in general do little other than to serve as a funding mechanism of the progressive socialist democrats and their cronies.]
(C) The Plan for a Green New Deal (and the draft legislation) shall recognize that innovative public and other financing structures are a crucial component in achieving and furthering the goals and guidelines relating to social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative and public ownership set forth in paragraphs (2)(A)(i) and (6)
[OCS: Roughly translated – we will decide who to fund based on their cooperation with our progressive socialist agenda.]
(B). The Plan (and the draft legislation) shall, accordingly, ensure that the majority of financing of the Plan shall be accomplished by the federal government, using a combination of the Federal Reserve, a new public bank or system of regional and specialized public banks, public venture funds and such other vehicles or structures that the select committee deems appropriate, in order to ensure that interest and other investment returns generated from public investments made in connection with the Plan will be returned to the treasury, reduce taxpayer burden and allow for more investment.
[OCS: This is a lie. The money will not be returned to the taxpayer unless it is in the most “theoretical” sense. Any profits from the government chosen winners will be returned to those who regard the Treasury as a piggy-bank to fund their progressive agenda. Of course, the “taxpayers” will suffer the losses from screwed-up crony-driven ventures like Solyndra and others.]
It appears that Pelosi’s desire to restrict spending would be an anathema to the free-spending socialists and communists who believe their dream revolution leading to a new society is around the corner.
As one pundit noted…
Ocasio-Cortez may not be in Congress yet, but she already has a plan to remake the way Americans drive, commute, live, work, and even use the financial system. Let there be little doubt how she aspires to wield power in Washington.
Bottom line…
The threat to America is not from Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea – it is from those within the government who seek to bring down our nation, militarily and economically, while our enemies sit back, eat popcorn, and applaud.
We are so screwed.
