Copenhagen was not about global warming but money. The cash that Hillary Clinton (pictured left) so dramatically plonked on the table, rising to $100 billion by 2020, which includes the £1.5 billion offered by Gordon Brown (money which of course he hasn't got) and which like a crazed gambler he last week upped to £6 billion (even more money he hasn't got), was merely a "sweetener" to persuade the developing countries to maintain the money-machine set in motion by Kyoto. This is the new global industry based on buying and selling the right to emit CO2, estimated soon to be worth trillions of dollars a year, which through schemes such as the UN's Clean Development Mechanism and the EU's Emissions Trading System is making a small minority of people, including Al Gore, extremely rich. The only really concrete achievement of Copenhagen was to win agreement to the perpetuating of those Kyoto rules that have created this vast industry, which has two main beneficiaries. On one hand are that small number of people in China and India who have learnt how to work this system to their huge advantage. On the other are all those Western entrepreneurs who have piled into what has become the fastest growing commodity market in the world. The part played at Copenhagen by all the tree-huggers, abetted by the BBC and their media allies, was to keep hysteria over warming at fever pitch while the politicians haggled over the real prize, to keep the Kyoto system in place. - UK Telegraph
Dominant Social Theme: Follow the money?
Free-Market Analysis: We agree with this article, but we would like to add to it. One has to look even deeper in our opinion. If one is to properly analyze the dominant social themes that the power elite injects into civil discourse, one has to mine the meme and keep mining.
Take Peak Oil. Please. The surface messaging is that humankind is running out of energy, that fossil fuels are dirty anyway, and that humankind needs to conserve. This is the messaging of the environmental movement and it generates regulations and legislation that diminish the ability of individuals and society to make valid economic choices. On a second level, there is a more conflict-ridden messaging. Nations go to war over oil and thus the perception is reinforced that oil is the rarest of commodities, worthy of sacrificing the treasure and blood of nations that seek it.
But there is, in our opinion, a third layer here: the real reason for the dominant social theme of oil scarcity. The third layer has to do with the determination of the power elite to expand around the world, to erect a form of global government (in substance or spirit) and to rationalize the Muslim religion, which is a formidable barrier to global governance currently. Oil scarcity is a convenient ruse, lending justification to the larger, ongoing, generational effort at creating global governance.
Rest here.
