Here’s a scoop for you: The so-called “Green New Deal,” onto
which 70 leading Democrats have signed, doesn’t exist. Like a
salesman parked at a corner hawking a small bottle filled with a
mystery substance that will cure everything from insomnia to
cancer, the Democratic Party is promoting a fraud-work quilt
promising a cure for all.

In reality, this hoax targeting the liberal base, GenXers and
progressives, is nothing more than an elaborate Get Out the Vote
organizing effort. As a former community organizer, I respect
that work when it’s about real proposals, actual legislation and
serious ideas.

Yet, courtesy of a letter being sent by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez of New York to Democratic colleagues in the House of
Representatives, we now know that there is no package of
implementable ideas or policy. What they do have is a press
release word salad of platitudes, slogans and talking points.

Bloomberg reported on the letter, with a revealing headline:
“Ocasio-Cortez begins to sketch out details of ‘Green New Deal.’
” That confirms the thing Democrats, including Sens. Kamala D.
Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have
endorsed isn’t even formulated yet. As Winston Churchill might
note, it’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. It
would be more honest to call it the “Green New Hoax.”

Bloomberg’s first paragraph outlining Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s
“blueprint” is at least honest: “Environmental legislation
dubbed a ‘Green New Deal’ and championed by Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has drawn widespread attention --
despite the fact that no one really knows for sure what it is.”

No one knows, because it doesn’t exist.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes waves on Capitol HillVideo
”‘Next week, we plan to release a resolution that outlines the
scope and scale of the Green New Deal,’ according to a letter
the New York Democrat sent to colleagues. ‘In it, we call for a
national, social, industrial and economic mobilization at a
scale not seen since World War II,’ ” Bloomberg reported. “Goals
laid out in the letter include reaching net-zero greenhouse gas
emissions ‘through a fair and just transition for all
communities and workers,’ creating millions of ‘good, high-wage
jobs’ while ensuring prosperity and economic security for all,
and investment in infrastructure and industry.”

Sounds like a cultural revolution to me. What’s the “fair and
just transition for all communities” she’s talking about? Vague
enough to be modeled on Pol Pot or Chairman Mao Zedong or maybe
just Martha Stewart. Who knows, and that’s the point.

“The resolution will also call for clean air and water, climate
resiliency, healthy food, access to nature and ‘a sustainable
environment for all for generations to come,’ according to the
letter. Lastly, the Green New Deal will ‘promote justice and
equity by preventing current and repairing historic oppression
to frontline and vulnerable communities,” the newswire reported.

Further proof of the lack of seriousness is this outrageous
pitching of “protecting vulnerable communities,” as the young
woman in front of this charade has said nothing in opposition to
her party moving in several states to legitimize infanticide.

In December 2018, in a story about the genesis of the scheme,
the New Yorker magazine inadvertently exposed the real agenda.

“Sunrise, founded a year and a half ago by a dozen or so
twentysomethings, began its campaign for the Green New Deal last
month, when two hundred activists occupied Nancy Pelosi’s office
a week after the midterm elections. The movement has allied with
the incoming congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. … Inside
Luther Place Memorial Church, cheers erupted as activists
unfurled a yellow and black ‘green new deal now’ banner from the
balcony. The crowd hushed as the first speaker, Varshini
Prakash, came to the microphone. Prakash … is one of Sunrise’s
co-founders. She later told me that a highlight of her activism
career was when she participated in a musical disruption of a
Trump administration panel at the United Nations climate
conference in Bonn, in 2017…” the New Yorker reported.

Included in its coverage is this comment from Ms. Prakash, who
also happened to be a guest of Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts
at the State of the Union address: “‘Our strategy for 2019 is
going to be continuing this momentum to build the people power
and the political power to make a Green New Deal a political
inevitability in America,’ Prakash told me. ‘In 2020, we, along
with our partners, are going to be attempting to build the
largest youth political force this country has ever seen.’ “

Further, the New Yorker reported that the founders of “Sunrise”
met through groups such as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives
Matter.

The Sunrise Movement’s website makes it clear -- its members are
all about organizing at the local level, highlighting their goal
to “Build our movement in every corner of the country so we can
reach the millions of young people who are scared about climate
and keep building support for a Green New Deal.” Which, as we
now know, is an apparition.

But one does need a cause -- preferably one that is malleable
and pushes all the right emotional buttons. No one asked former
President Obama for specifics of his “hope and change” plan, and
we all know how that worked out. Now the same leftists trust you
won’t ask for specifics as they plan the next round of wrecking
your life.
