Here�s a scoop for you: The so-called �Green New Deal,� onto
which 70 leading Democrats have signed, doesn�t exist. Like a
salesman parked at a corner hawking a small bottle filled with a
mystery substance that will cure everything from insomnia to
cancer, the Democratic Party is promoting a fraud-work quilt
promising a cure for all.

In reality, this hoax targeting the liberal base, GenXers and
progressives, is nothing more than an elaborate Get Out the Vote
organizing effort. As a former community organizer, I respect
that work when it�s about real proposals, actual legislation and
serious ideas.

Yet, courtesy of a letter being sent by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez of New York to Democratic colleagues in the House of
Representatives, we now know that there is no package of
implementable ideas or policy. What they do have is a press
release word salad of platitudes, slogans and talking points.

Bloomberg reported on the letter, with a revealing headline:
�Ocasio-Cortez begins to sketch out details of �Green New Deal.�
� That confirms the thing Democrats, including Sens. Kamala D.
Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have
endorsed isn�t even formulated yet. As Winston Churchill might
note, it�s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. It
would be more honest to call it the �Green New Hoax.�

Bloomberg�s first paragraph outlining Ms. Ocasio-Cortez�s
�blueprint� is at least honest: �Environmental legislation
dubbed a �Green New Deal� and championed by Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has drawn widespread attention --
despite the fact that no one really knows for sure what it is.�

No one knows, because it doesn�t exist.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes waves on Capitol HillVideo
��Next week, we plan to release a resolution that outlines the
scope and scale of the Green New Deal,� according to a letter
the New York Democrat sent to colleagues. �In it, we call for a
national, social, industrial and economic mobilization at a
scale not seen since World War II,� � Bloomberg reported. �Goals
laid out in the letter include reaching net-zero greenhouse gas
emissions �through a fair and just transition for all
communities and workers,� creating millions of �good, high-wage
jobs� while ensuring prosperity and economic security for all,
and investment in infrastructure and industry.�

Sounds like a cultural revolution to me. What�s the �fair and
just transition for all communities� she�s talking about? Vague
enough to be modeled on Pol Pot or Chairman Mao Zedong or maybe
just Martha Stewart. Who knows, and that�s the point.

�The resolution will also call for clean air and water, climate
resiliency, healthy food, access to nature and �a sustainable
environment for all for generations to come,� according to the
letter. Lastly, the Green New Deal will �promote justice and
equity by preventing current and repairing historic oppression
to frontline and vulnerable communities,� the newswire reported.

Further proof of the lack of seriousness is this outrageous
pitching of �protecting vulnerable communities,� as the young
woman in front of this charade has said nothing in opposition to
her party moving in several states to legitimize infanticide.

In December 2018, in a story about the genesis of the scheme,
the New Yorker magazine inadvertently exposed the real agenda.

�Sunrise, founded a year and a half ago by a dozen or so
twentysomethings, began its campaign for the Green New Deal last
month, when two hundred activists occupied Nancy Pelosi�s office
a week after the midterm elections. The movement has allied with
the incoming congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. � Inside
Luther Place Memorial Church, cheers erupted as activists
unfurled a yellow and black �green new deal now� banner from the
balcony. The crowd hushed as the first speaker, Varshini
Prakash, came to the microphone. Prakash � is one of Sunrise�s
co-founders. She later told me that a highlight of her activism
career was when she participated in a musical disruption of a
Trump administration panel at the United Nations climate
conference in Bonn, in 2017�� the New Yorker reported.

Included in its coverage is this comment from Ms. Prakash, who
also happened to be a guest of Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts
at the State of the Union address: ��Our strategy for 2019 is
going to be continuing this momentum to build the people power
and the political power to make a Green New Deal a political
inevitability in America,� Prakash told me. �In 2020, we, along
with our partners, are going to be attempting to build the
largest youth political force this country has ever seen.� �

Further, the New Yorker reported that the founders of �Sunrise�
met through groups such as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives
Matter.

The Sunrise Movement�s website makes it clear -- its members are
all about organizing at the local level, highlighting their goal
to �Build our movement in every corner of the country so we can
reach the millions of young people who are scared about climate
and keep building support for a Green New Deal.� Which, as we
now know, is an apparition.

But one does need a cause -- preferably one that is malleable
and pushes all the right emotional buttons. No one asked former
President Obama for specifics of his �hope and change� plan, and
we all know how that worked out. Now the same leftists trust you
won�t ask for specifics as they plan the next round of wrecking
your life.
