It’s Time To Consider The Dark Connections Of The EPA With Modern Radical Extremism

Few Americans realize the dark history behind the Environmental Protection Agency, created under President Richard Nixon in 1970. Starting with the fact that the EPA’s first director was a Dept. of Justice employee named William Ruckelshaus, who held that position until he was appointed as the Acting Director of the FBI in 1973. Nixon was under investigation for a botched burglary of the Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate hotel complex, which we now know was conducted by operatives with ties to the CIA operated by Richard Helms (1966-1973). In 2002, his biographer described Helm as a “gentlemanly planner of assassinations,” which was a real cause of concern for the Agency struggling with a series of “Conspiracy Theories.” The CIA coined that term to cast doubt on anyone who may question any of their activities.
During extreme political turbulence, the UN designated Yasser Arafat as the first leader of a non-governmental organization (NGO). As the new chairman of the PLO, Arafat introduced a new type of radical political logic on November 13, 1974. This occurred when the UN General Assembly allowed Arafat to give his famous speech, claiming, “I have come bearing an olive branch and a freedom fighter’s gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand”. Arafat earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, making him a hero as the first non-state actor to utilize the image of a “freedom fighter’s gun” as the tool for implementing UN policy. That mindset of tolerance for extremism offers tremendous insight into what became a new type of UN governance model. A decade later, Arafat was dead, and media outlets simply ignored the fact that Arafat had stolen billions of dollars in economic aid destined for the Palestinian people. It was that total lack of perspective that became the new norm for the UN elites, which would gloss over just about any criminal behavior when it came to pushing their Socialist agenda.
That same double standard was applied to the Earth Day celebrations, which were presented as a grassroots initiative coordinated nationally by bureaucrats. The entire Earth Day narrative was centered around blaming global pollution on American Capitalism and making it appear as if that radical movement was responsible for the creation of the EPA in 1970. This spawned an entirely new industry formed around Orwellian double-speak, in which only a select few media pundits, university professors, and political think-tank members could be trusted to interpret correctly.
