After
President Trump rejected the Paris Climate treaty, which had never been
ratified by the Senate, the European Union announced that it would work with a
climate confederacy of secessionist states. Scotland and Norway’s environmental
ministers have mentioned a focus on individual American states. And the
secessionist governments of California, New York and Washington have announced
that they will unilaterally and illegally enter into a foreign treaty rejected
by the President of the United States.
The Constitution
is very clear about this. “No state shall enter into any treaty.” Governor
Cuomo of New York has been equally clear. “New York State is committed to
meeting the standards set forth in the Paris Accord regardless of Washington’s
irresponsible actions.” Cuomo’s statement conveniently comes in French, Chinese
and Russian translations. “It is a little bold to talk about the
China-California partnership as though we were a separate nation, but we are a
separate nation,” Governor Brown of California announced. In an interview with
the Huffington Post, the radical leftist described California as “a real
nation-state”.
Brown
was taking a swing through China to reassure the Communist dictatorship of
California’s loyalty to an illegal treaty at the same time as EU boss Juncker
was bashing America and kissing up to Premier Li Keqiang at the EU-China
summit. It’s one thing when the EU and China form a united front against
America. It’s quite another when California and China form a united front
against America.
The
Climate Alliance of California, New York, Washington, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, Virginia and Rhode Island looks a lot
like the Confederacy’s Montgomery Convention. Both serve as meeting points for
a secessionist alliance of states to air their grievances against the Federal
government over an issue in which they are out of step with the nation. “We’re
a powerful state government. We have nine other states that agree with us,”
Brown boasted. Two more and Jim Jones’ old pal could have his own confederacy.
All
the bragging and boasting about how much wealth and power the secessionist
states of the climate confederacy represent sounds very familiar. But that
wealth and power is based around small enclaves, the Bay Area and a few dozen
blocks in Manhattan, which wield disproportionate influence.
Like
the slaveowner class, leftist elites are letting the arrogance of their wealth
lead them into treason. And as they look out from their mansions and
skyscrapers, they should remember that the majority of working class people in
California and New York will be far less enthusiastic about fighting a war to
protect their dirty investments in solar energy plants and carbon credits
funded by taxes seized from many of those same people in these left-wing slave
states.
The
declared intention of the Climate Alliance, in words appearing on the New York
State government website, is to treasonously “convene U.S. states committed to
upholding the Paris Climate Agreement”.
States
cannot and are not allowed to unilaterally choose to “uphold” a treaty rejected
by the President. Their leaders are certainly not allowed to travel to enemy
nations to inform foreign powers of their treasonous designs and to solicit
their aid against the policies of the United States government.
This
is all the more treasonous at a time when the United States is on a collision
course with the People’s Republic of China over North Korea’s nuclear weapons
and trade agreements. “It’s important for the world to know that America is not
Washington,” Brown declared. “Yes, we’re part of the union, but we’re also a
sovereign state that can promote the necessary policies that are required for
survival.”
Governors
don’t normally feel the need to declare that their state is still part of the
union. But they also don’t announce that they’re a separate nation and then set
off to cut separate deals with enemy powers. No state should be issuing, “Yes,
we’re part of the union, but” disclaimers before going to China. The disclaimer
is the first step to leaving the union.
Governor
Brown’s trip to China isn’t funded by California taxpayers. That might be a
relief to that overburdened tribe except that it’s partially being paid for by
the Energy Foundation. Behind that generic name for a pass through organization
are a number of left-wing foundations who have been paying for American
politicians to travel to the People’s Republic of China.
Donors
to the energy foundation include Ecocrat billionaire Tom Steyer who has pumped
millions into EF. Steyer’s finances are entangled with China and even with
members of the Chinese government. Steyer has accused President Trump of
treason for rejecting the unconstitutional Paris Climate Treaty. But who are
the real traitors here? Other major EF donors include the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund, Bloomberg and George Soros.
There
is something deeply troubling about a governor’s treasonous trip being funded
by private interests with business ties to a foreign power. If Democrats were
really serious about rooting out influence by foreign powers, they would be
taking a very close look at Brown’s backers. But the greater outrage is that
the governors of secessionist states are using a manufactured crisis to conduct
“diplomacy” with foreign governments in defiance of the policies of the United
States.
Washington’s
Jay Inslee was recently talking Global Warming in a meeting with Canadian PM
Justin Trudeau. “We’re both very strongly engaged on issues of climate change,
on issues of openness to trade, on leadership on refugees as well,” Trudeau
declared. “We share an incredible commitment to defeating climate change,”
Inslee flattered him. “And it is a great pleasure we have a national leader on
the North American continent who is committed to that.” And he didn’t mean the
President of the United States.
Inslee’s
fondness for the illegal Paris Climate treaty is unsurprising as his own
efforts on Global Warming similarly depended on unilateral moves that lacked
legislative support. But that is a problem for Washington’s Constitution. His
participation in a secessionist pact is a problem for our Constitution. And the
problem isn’t limited to the Climate Alliance.
California
and many of the other entities declaring that they will enforce an illegal
treaty are also sanctuary states and cities. They are choosing not to follow
Federal law while implementing foreign treaties that they have no right to
unilaterally participate in.
This
is a treasonous situation that is more troubling in some ways than the original
Civil War because it involves states making open alliance with enemy powers
such as China and welcoming them in. State governments are undermining the
united front of the national government in the face of the enemy. “California
will resist this misguided and insane course of action,” Governor Brown ranted.
The logic of “resistance” has inevitably turned into treason.
A
civil war is underway. In the last election the territorial majority of
Americans rejected the rule of a minority of wealthy and powerful urban enclaves.
Outside of their bicoastal bases, the political power of the Democrat faction
has been shattered. And so it has retreated into subversion and secessionism.
“China is moving forward in a very serious way, and so is California,” Brown
declared. “And we’re going in the opposite direction of Donald Trump.”
While
Democrats have spent the better part of the previous week waving their arms in
the air over a back channel with Russia, one of their faction’s leading
governors is openly allying with China against the President of the United
States. And the treasonous Democrat media is cheering this betrayal. Brown and
his colleagues are in blatant violation of the Logan Act. Their actions are in
violation of the United States Constitution. And all this is another dark step
on the road to another civil war. If the climate confederacy is not held
accountable for its treason, the crisis will only grow.
