Never waste a good crisis
Mar 6th, 2009 by David Anderson
Secretary Clinton wants to use the hysteria over climate change to remake society. Never waste a good crisis, she declared. Naturally, in an effort to fulfill the Obama pledge to raise our standing around the world, she blasted the U. S. as irresponsible.
In the 1961 U. S. Government Freedom from War Report a strategy was outlined to empower international organizations. Some later noted that a new organizing force must replace war. Some suggested peaceful space exploration and others suggested the environment. It is clear that the left plans to manipulate us into making “sacrifices” we wouldn’t normally make by claiming it is for the environment. It would be ashamed to waste a good crisis even if it is a questionable one.
I’m sure the Russians have explained to Hillary how that satellite collision a few months ago was an accident. Not to worry, the U.N. will monitor space for us.
Perhaps the longing for a crisis to promote an agenda should bring to mind the Reichstag Fire and its aftermath.
With a cult of personality ‘leader’ who ‘achieved prominence through oratory’* we might have cause to worry. We may not be burning books but ‘fairness’ could become a euphemism for an analogous act.
