‘Woke lawfare’ exposed: Attorney unmasks carbon tax intent behind massive oil litigation

Story by Emma Colton • 17h

A massive climate lawsuit that could land before the Supreme Court is an attempt at a back-door "carbon tax," a climate attorney previously involved in the case said during a recent legal forum.

"Woke lawfare is finally being exposed for what it really is: a radical attempt to impose Progressive Lifestyle Choices on the American people via the court room," O.H. Skinner, executive director of Alliance For Consumers, a nonprofit focused on preserving consumer protection efforts, told Fox News Digital.
 
"Whether it's dark money left-wing nonprofits lying about their efforts to indoctrinate judges or climate lawyers telling the truth about their desire to take over the energy industry and impose a carbon tax via judicial edict, the result is an economy the American people don't want—increased costs and reduced choices."

The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing whether to pick up a case originating in Boulder, Colorado, claiming Suncor Energy and ExxonMobil had for years downplayed risks surrounding burning oil and gas, seeking damages from the companies under Colorado law. Conservative lawmakers have warned the case could bankrupt the American oil industry and put the U.S. national security and the economy in dire straits.

"Carbon taxes" were never intended to be anything more than money grabs and payoffs that would get funneled to "the right people", both in government and in certain private industries designed to scarf up cash from the grift.

Some of which would get channeled back to "the right politicians", etc.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
In the '60s and '70s the KGB funneled money into promising 'environmental' groups, and those suddenly became global heavy hitters in the 'ecology' movement. Best money the Soviets ever spent, and it was done to hamper Western Industry in any way possible.

It's still working. WHat are the alternatives to Oil and Gas?

"Renewables" are proving to be far less reliable than proclaimed: those oil wells will still be producing long after the windmill has broken down. Solar projects are being dropped. So what's next? Dung fires? Burning trees (coal that hasn't had time to become coal?) Everyone crowd around the equator and live in each other's mess? (unsanitary).

I hope the Supremes put this crap to rest, with a stake driven through its heart.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Done in close alliance with the low IQ DEMIE voters, who want to feel better about themselves.

Given the temperament of some justices, it might go the wrong way.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
