As if we didn't have enough problems.
Now the US has another group of foes who have come out of the closet, and declared war on us due to our environmental record. And in doing so, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change invoked the ancient Mayan goddess Lxchal, the Jaguar goddess. From The Anchoress-
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also “the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you — because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools.”…
“Excellencies, the goddess Ixchel would probably tell you that a tapestry is the result of the skilkful interlacing of many threads,” said Figueres, who hails from Costa Rica and started her greetings in Spanish before switching to English. “I am convinced that 20 years from now, we will admire the policy tapestry that you have woven together and think back fondly to Cancun and the inspiration of Ixchel.”
This came about at the latest round of what seems to be a perennial effort to address Global Climate Change on an international level, this one held in Cancun Mexico. Such a tone should really not be much of a surprise. There are various factions in the UN that wants to give that body regulatory power over member nations environmental policies, even to the extent of levying fines and issuing injunctions and filing lawsuits in the World Court-not only against offending nations, but against "climate deniers". That's right, they want to take you to court if you deny the "reality" of Global Climate Change as being caused or at least deeply impacted by human activity. The major targets here would be not only dissenting national leaders and bureaucrats, but journalists, pundits, academics, educators, scientists, captains of industry, and basically anyone who dares dispute the sacred script of fundamentalist, environmentalist buffoonery and whackery.
In fact, it has gone from a political movement based more on pseudo-science to what can only be described as a global religious cult based on a cold and harsh earth and nature worship, in which the most prosperous, developed nations are expected to give alms in the form of national and regional sovereignty, while the upper and middle classes will in effect sacrifice personal prosperity for what in reality seems to be the entitlement and empowerment of a high priesthood made up of a relative handful of global elites. We must in effect give up our way of life on behalf of a movement and philosophy that is based on and empowered by fear mongering for the future. They do this by at least greatly exaggerating the consequences, if not outright lying, if we do not accede to their fanaticism.
Here is the money quote from the UNEP paper on the subject-
UNEP has an important—indeed a critical—message, but it is delivering it in the wrong language to the wrong audience. It is attached to the wrong narrative. It will never position itself to do what is needed until it finds the right language and narrative. The force of this message cannot be over-emphasized. UNEP’s success depends on getting this right.
The environment should compete with religion as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity. To do that, however, it will have to make itself relevant well beyond the world of those already concerned with the environment, including very prominently its own formal constituency. Indeed, unless UNEP succeeds in recasting the debate, it is highly likely that the economic community will do it—badly, and on its own terms. It is already happening in the field of climate change
But at the Cancun Convention it was the delegation from Bolivia which struck the most decidedly strident tone against the US and the industrialized world. We are seen by Bolivia and others as the worst offenders, even though the environmental record of Bolivia is hardly attuned to the greater welfare of Mother Nature. This is true of most of these mismanaged countries, who typically and hypocritically try to portray the US as the biggest obstacle to
As you can see in the following video, a grand time was had by all-
And the band plays on. While Julian Assange's leaks of Pentagon and State Department memos are greeted by the left with yawns at best, similar leaks of the documents that came to be known as "Climate Gate" were met by them with howls of angry protests, demands for prosecution, and excuses for the contents of the leaked climate gate e-mails. The Left insisted that, in this case, the e-mails were being presented out of context. Anything to keep the scam going. Ironically, one of the Wikileaks documents details how the current EU President predicted the Cancun summit would be as big a disaster as Copenhagen. More to the point, it reveals that the entire Global Climate Change movement is seen as a big power and money grab. In other words, its one of the biggest con jobs in the history of mankind.
But these people won't give up that easily, as that is the nature of religious fanaticism. All that matters is keeping the faith. Nothing would please them more than to rip open the chest of liberty and display the beating hard to the rabid, maddened mob. Many of the environmentally ill will gladly attune with the spirit of the goddess Lxchel, including those here in America whose activist roots can be traced to the sixties and seventies. Here we see one of Lyxchel's beloved pet Jaguars engaging in one of the sacred pastimes, which the hippie environmentalists of modern days could certainly relate to-consuming a hallucinogenic plant.
I might invoke the goddess myself one of these days. As for the Global Climate Change activists, I really question whether these people truly comprehend the nature of the forces they invoke so casually, so carelessly, while so consumed with mainly their own self-aggrandizement and power.
