Ezra Levant Screws Pooch – Uses Public Enemy Patrick Moore to Skewer Charlatan David Suzuki

This post relates to a video that appears in the “Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore slams Canadian eco-huckster David Suzuki – and Greenpeace itself” thread.

First, let’s start off with a very basic equation:

Pot -> Kettle -> Black

This is the very first time I have ever seen Ezra Levant so totally off base. In his all-too-long lifetime, Patrick Moore has probably done far more to harm our world than even wacko scientist-for-hire, David Suzuki.

As a co-founder of Greenpeace, Moore devoted decades to intentionally conflating, in the American public’s mind, nuclear weapons with nuclear power. With varying degrees of success, his vile work spilled over into the global community as well.

The evil of this cannot be overstated. Billions, if not trillions of dollars were paid out to the OPEC countries, who remain among the West’s absolute most dire enemies. International terrorism and Muslim immigration would have nowhere near the footing they enjoy today without the massive diversion of petro-dollar capital into the MME (Muslim Middle East) countries as caused by over-dependence upon Middle East oil due to the absence of a coherent nuclear power program in North America.

Back in 2007, Moore finally admitted to the world that nuclear power was the cleanest energy source. In his protracted and fierce battle to halt all Western construction of nuclear power generation facilities, nowhere did this ambulatory tumor ever confess that coal burning power stations routinely release more radioactivity than nuclear power plants. It turns out that coal has natural trace amounts of uranium in it and, during combustion, those radioactive elements are released into the atmosphere. Neither will you be told that “scrubbing” such toxic emissions out of a coal-burning plant’s exhaust system would make its cost efficiency plummet well below any economic payback levels.

Instead, Moore spent decades ensuring that Americans—along with much of the entire global community—were terrified of nuclear power in the way that they should fear atomic weapons. We have hypocritical scum like Moore to thank for the 9-11 atrocity and so many other Saudi financed terrorist attacks around the world.

Why Levant is not aware of this or is unwilling to publicly pillory Moore for his role in underwriting international terrorism is beyond me. If anything, many more thousands of Jews and Israelis are dead because of the extra funding that Saudi Arabia and Iran received in lieu of nuclear reactors producing the West’s energy needs.

As to Suzuki, please pay attention to time point 01:19 in the foregoing video where he states:

“Happiness and well-being is the purpose of government and the economy is there to serve those ends, not just steady growth forever.”

Only a died-in-the-wool Socialist could possibly spew such nonsense. No sane person wants their government to have anything to do with their personal happiness. As noted in America’s Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Notice how, quite contrary to what Suzuki says, it isn’t “happiness” that is any sort of human right but the pursuit of it? No way in hell do you want a government to assure your happiness. Whose definition of happiness shall we use? Ayatollah Khomeini’s? Mao Tse Dong’s? I’m sure that the implications are clear. What remains an “unalienable Right” is the untrammeled individual pursuit of happiness and never should there be any government role in providing an individual’s joy. Intellectually corrupt people like Suzuki are fixated on—not just equality of opportunity—but equality of outcome. Unless it interferes with his ability to afford multimillion dollar mansions, that is.

As ex-President Gerald Ford noted in a moment of uncharacteristic prescience:

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”

Any government big enough to assure your happiness is so endowed with unlimited power that your most basic rights could vanish in an instant, if not a lot sooner.

Neither Suzuki nor Moore belong anywhere near a microphone or video camera. Ridden out of town on a rail after being tarred and feathered is a far more appropriate condition for those two to be in, if not one hell of a lot worse.
