[XCSSA] Carbon Tax and the Hegelian Dialectic

[xcssa@xcssa.org]

While it is important to reduce use of fossil
fuels as fast and gracefully as possible, please
be aware that the "carbon neutrality" and
"global climate change/global warming" mantras
are part of an international Hegelian dialectic
-- seed the idea there is a real or imagined
problem, amplify the idea/problem thru the corporate
money controlled media, and then propose a 
"solution" via an amalgam of gov/corporate
bodies -- to build motivation/rational for a global 
carbon tax.  This will then morph into a global tax
on all energy use with trans-national reach.  For
what purpose?  Good question.  Let your imagination
run wild.

Far fetched?  So were the "easy money" ideas of 
the Greenback party in the 1870s-1890s.  But after
about 40-60 years of the idea floating around in
political parties, intellectual and government policy 
circles, "easy" money has became a largely un-examined 
policy of the United states via the fractional reserve 
currency system -- and the fraction is becoming 
vanishingly small.  See:
