The Climate Treaty Gambit in Copenhagen

"Rule #8: Keep the Pressure On with different tactics and actions..."

"Rule #10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

-- Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinsky (1971).


Keep these rules in mind when you watch this 4-minute video of Lord Christopher Monckton, as he warns Americans about the coming climate treaty disaster in Copenhagen this December.

In December, President Obama will travel to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. It would be ironic indeed if in genuflection to the Nobel elites he flew from there over to Copenhagen to sign a global climate treaty which will cede control of American industrial policy to socialist bureaucrats in Europe and the U.N.

Alinsky's Rules are reminders of the relentness of the Left. If they can't get their industry- and job-killing energy taxes through legislation they will do it through executive fiat. And if they can't get it done that way they'll get 'er done under the rubric of "international cooperation" and global good citizenship.

They've thought all this stuff though, folks. They have the distinct advantage of knowing what their plans are, step by determined step. The rest of us are just playing catchup.
