Read this and weep – or laugh? 35
Lord Chrisopher Monckton reports in near despair from the UN’s climate conference at Cancun, Mexico:
I usually add some gentle humor when I report. Not today. Read this and weep. Notwithstanding the carefully-orchestrated propaganda to the effect that nothing much will be decided at the UN climate conference here in Cancun, the decisions to be made here this week signal nothing less than the abdication of the West. The governing class in what was once proudly known as the Free World is silently, casually letting go of liberty, prosperity, and even democracy itself. No one in the mainstream media will tell you this, not so much because they do not see as because they do not bloody care.
He goes on to explain how –
the UN Convention’s Secretariat will become a world government directly controlling hundreds of global, supranational, regional, national and sub-national bureaucracies. It will receive the vast sum of taxpayers’ money ostensibly paid by the West to the Third World for adaptation to the supposed adverse consequences of imagined (and imaginary) “global warming”.
Hundreds of these “new interlocking bureaucracies answerable to the world-government Secretariat will vastly extend its power and reach”. (And these will be in addition to multiple new bureaucracies in every one of the 193 states which are parties to the Convention.) Here are some of them:
- a Body to Clarify Assumptions and Conditions in National Greenhouse-Gas Emission Reductions Pledges
- a Negotiating Body for an Overall Level of Ambition for Aggregate Emission Reductions and Individual Targets
- a Body for the Process to Develop Modalities and Guidelines for the Compliance Process
- a Body to Supervise the Process for Understanding Diversity of Mitigation Actions Submitted and Support Needed
- a Body to Develop Modalities for the Registry of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions
- an Office to Conduct a Work Program for Development of Various Modalities and Guidelines
- a Forum on the Impact of the Implementation of Response Measures
- a Work Program Office to Address the Impact of the Implementation of Response Measures
- a Body to Review the Needs of Developing Countries for Financial Resources to Address Climate Change and Identify Options for Mobilization of Those Resources
- a Body to Launch a Process to Further Define the Roles and Functions of the New Body to Assist the Conference of the Parties in Exercising its Functions with respect to the Financial Mechanism
- a Network of National, Regional, Sectoral and International Technology Centers, Networks, Organization and Initiatives
- an Expert Workshop on the Operational Modalities of the Technology Mechanism
- a Work Program Body for Policy Approaches and Positive Incentives on Issues Relating to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries
- a Body to Implement a Work Program on the Impact of the Implementation of Response Measures
- a Body to Develop Modalities for the Operationalization of the Work Program on the Impact of the Implementation of Response Measures.
How do you develop a modality? How negotiate a level of ambition? How supervise a process for understanding? What are mitigation actions and how do you diversify them? What does a forum do with an impact? Why do you need a body to define the roles and functions of a body to assist in exercising its functions? A network of networks? A network of initiatives? A work program body for incentives on issues? A body to implement a work program on an impact? What is operationalization, and what might its modalities be, and why does it need a body to develop them?
It’s typical of the gobbledygook that substitutes for thought on the political left.
Somehow, amidst such dense clouds of unknowing, these minds are negotiating a level of ambition to supervise a process to launch another process that will function as a body controlling all the networks of networks to establish a supreme body that will govern the world, operationalize world-wide economic redistribution, and reduce all emissions except those from their own mouths in order to save the earth from the evil depredations that human existence inevitably wreaks on it. And they themselves, the Elect, will sit in the seats of power and command the weather and control every aspect of the lives of every living man woman and child to force them to keep compliant and healthy, if also rather cold and perhaps somewhat hungry, for as long as the Elect allow each of them to pollute the earth with his or her existence.
The Elect of the Elect constitute The Secretariat, which, Lord Monckton says, will have the power to compel nation states to “perform their obligations under the climate-change Convention”.
It may claim that power, but how will it enforce its will? If there plans for an international SS, it is still being kept secret.
Is there no opposition from any countries or groups to this plan for International Communism under a World Government?
Yes, there is some. Lord Monckton reports:
At the insistence of sensible nation states such as the United States [a surprise, considering the collectivist and warmist bent of the present administration], the Czech Republic, Japan, Canada, and Italy, the Cancun outcome acknowledges that The Process is causing, and will cause, considerable economic damage, delicately described in the Chairman’s note as “unintended side-effects of implementing climate-change response measures”. The solution? Consideration of the catastrophic economic consequences of the Secretariat’s heroically lunatic decisions will fall under the control of – yup – the Secretariat.
Some supranational organizations perceive a threat to their interests:
In particular, the World Trade Organization has been getting antsy about the numerous aspects of the Secretariat’s proposals that constitute restrictions on international trade.
This objection is dealt with by the Chairman of the “Ad-Hoc Working Group on Long-Term Co-operative Action under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” by simply recording, in the same “note” that names the new bodies, a “decision” that “the Secretariat’s policies are not restrictive of trade”.
So the Secretariat will decide, and reality will obey.
This note, Lord Monckton writes, “reflects what the Secretariat now confidently expects to get away with.”
He stresses that the agenda spells the doom of democracy.
Forget government of the people, by the people, for the people. Forget the principle of “no taxation without representation” that led to the very foundation of the United States. The provisions for the democratic election of the new, all-powerful, legislating, tax-raising world-government Secretariat by the peoples of the world may be summarized in a single word: None.
While we accept that everything he tells us is true, we feel less alarmed than Lord Monckton. We think the myth of manmade global warming is fading away since the Climategate papers proved the science to be a scam, and with that pretext for world government gone, it will be some time before the sinister Secretariat and its black-winged warmist minions conjure up another.
And the people are on to them now. Or so we hope.
