Socialism and Czars

According to Casey's Daily Report, here are 3 profiles on our "Czars":

Carol Browner – “Climate Czar”

Carol Browner's official title is “Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change.” She formerly served as Environmental Protection Agency administrator during the Clinton administration and was Florida secretary of the environment.

Browner was a member of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society at Socialist International, a group that Discover the Networks reports is the "umbrella for 170 'social democratic, socialist and labor parties' in 55 countries."

The Washington Times explained Browner's group called for "global governance" and asserts rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.

Cass Sunstein – “Regulatory Czar”

According to Cass Sunstein, administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, global climate change is primarily the fault of U.S. environmental behavior and can, therefore, be used as a mechanism to redistribute the country's wealth.

In a recent paper penned by the Obama czar, he advocated that U.S. wealth should be redistributed to poorer nations. (Doesn’t the U.S. government already do this to a substantial degree?) He also wrote, “It is even possible that desirable redistribution is more likely to occur through climate-change policy than otherwise, or to be accomplished more effectively through climate policy than through direct foreign aid.”

Furthermore, in his 2004 book The Second Bill of Rights, Sunstein used the precedent of the Great Depression to point out that historic economic crises "provided the most promising conditions for the emergence of socialism in the U.S."

John Holdren – “Science Czar”

A longtime climate-change alarmist who has advocated ideas such as enforcing limits on world population growth, Holdren's official titles are: Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Assistant to the President for Science and Technology; and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Apparently, Holdren's name was in the e-mails hacked from the Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University in the U.K., which show that some climate researchers declined to share their data with fellow scientists, conspired to rig data, and sought to keep researchers with dissenting views from publishing in leading scientific journals.

FrontPageMag.com noted Holdren has endorsed a “surrender of sovereignty” to “a comprehensive Planetary Regime” that would control all the world’s resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the “de-development” of the West, control a World Army and taxation regime, and enforce world population limits.
