The Left is going after our kids using Climate Change
< < Go Back
A case in point occurred a few short weeks ago. On July 21, hundreds of thousands of young people in cities across America were mobilized to take to the streets in a well orchestrated “Youth Climate March”. The media attention they garnered was huge – attracting glowing coverage from The New York Times, Washington Post and Chicago Tribune among others. In addition to being paraded around, the kids were cleverly employed to deliver a radical “list of demands” to elected officials in Washington. These included “shifting our culture away from capitalism” which has led to climate change.
Meanwhile in Portland Oregon the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just granted a petition to hear an outrageous case filed by 21 children and young adults who actually believe their futures will be ruined by catastrophic climate change. They are seeking political remedies – radical policies the Left has long sought to implement =- based on issues these brainwashed kids do not understand.
Yes, our young people are being manipulated.
But this article includes developments that may constitute the greatest threat we have yet faced on college campuses across America.
Last October left-wing ANTIFA activists tried and failed to shut down a CFACT forum featuring Canadian commentator Lauren Southern.
Thanks to campus police for protecting the forum and letting the speech go on.
We are very proud of the way CFACT’s students conducted themselves and impressed by the articulate and persuasive commentary they offered the media.
After the forum, however, things got ugly.
ANTIFA thugs were lurking nearby and attacked CFACT students as they left the event.
We posted details at CFACT Campus.
“Masked protesters waited until some of the police presence had died down after the talk by Southern concluded. They then proceeded to mark and ambush departing CFACT event organizers. Nathan Amundson and Mitch Bendis, responsible for live streaming the event, were ambushed by a half dozen masked ANTIFA members as they left the venue loaded down with a large and expensive video camera and a box of event supplies.”
“When the CFACT students tried to go around the masked protesters, they were rushed, and a protester attempted to grab and smash the camera. Nathan was pushed to the ground and was punched by one of the protesters. Since the masked protesters couldn’t reach Mitch, they spit on him and stole CFACT’s banner out of the box of supplies.”
“‘We were sitting ducks,’ explained Mitch Henders. ‘Soon we had a group of at least six protesters following us, filming and harassing us. I elected not to feed the trolls and continue minding my own business. Then, I felt a big gob of spit hit the back of my head. One of them spit on me. Before I could comprehend what happened, they shoved me and I nearly fell…I was completely overwhelmed. I didn’t know what to do. Luckily, my friend called the police and that scared them off.’”
AntiFA is supposed to stand for “anti-fascist”, but in fact these young bullies have taken on the tactics used in the 1930s by the fascist brown shirt hoodlums of Germany!
