What an amplifier? The Chinese communist party quietly helped New York create a $75b climate SuperFund Law<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a lot of bang for their buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine The Blob buddied up with China to lobby for a law that forced energy companies (and thus the shareholders and customers) to cough up $75 billion to fund green initiatives? The Blob gets more money to buy power and influence and buy favors from their friends. The Chinese Communists make their competitors energy more expensive, and thus all their products more costly, less competitive, their economy weaker. Suits every kind of grifter, eh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But perhaps China just wants to save American whales right? Why else would the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) be so worried about US Emissions, but not their own? The CPC has been publicly lobbying for New York to legislate the  \u201cClimate Change Superfund Act \u2014 a bizarre retrospective law which would force energy companies to pay billions for past emissions back to the year 2000AD. Supposedly, companies like Exxonmobil, Shell, and others are going to pay $3 billion a year to help New York prepare for climate change. Though obviously, it will raise the price of energy by $3 billion dollars a year (for 25 years) and it will be the mums and dads who pay the bills, not the corporate CEOs.  Not surprisingly, it\u2019s been called a \u201cShakedown\u201d law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new law also targets companies that are outside New York State. It\u2019s a kind of super-communism, where truly Big-Government get to punitively tax people in other jurisdictions as well as their own. Where will it end? Well, 22 other states are challenging it in court<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CPC gets funding from the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) which are Chinese State-owned entities. They also (wouldn\u2019t you know it)\u00a0get funding from the US government for \u201cCommunity Resilience Support Services\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0China might be hand-feeding our self-defeating sabotage,\u00a0but the West is pretty good at it already.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CPC, after all, is supposed to be there to help the \u201csocial and economic empowerment of Chinese American, immigrant, and low-income communities in New York City.\u201d How exactly is this gargoyle of a law going to help poor Chinese immigrants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonprofit Funded By Chinese Gov\u2019t-Linked Entities Backs Blue State\u2019s \u2018Unconstitutional\u2019 Climate Law<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A New York nonprofit\u00a0bankrolled by Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked entities is at the center of a controversial state climate law that could force fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion over 25 years<\/a>\u00a0for climate mitigation projects. The Chinese American Planning Council (CPC), which received millions from Chinese state-owned banks and Washington taxpayer funds, has aggressively backed the \u201cClimate Change Superfund Act,\u201d sparking a federal investigation and constitutional concerns. Critics argue the law, signed by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul in December 2024,\u00a0threatens U.S. energy security, inflates consumer costs and represents undercover influence by Beijing to undermine American sovereignty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CPC\u2019s financial ties to Beijing are well-documented. It has secured $1.4 million in U.S. taxpayer funds since 2022 and over $445,000 from Chinese government-linked institutions<\/a>, including state-owned banks like the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and the Bank of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal experts and industry analysts have raised concerns about the law\u2019s constitutionality and economic impact. The Trump administration\u2019s May 1 lawsuit against New York and Vermont argues it unlawfully imposes retroactive liability on energy companies for climate damages and violates the Commerce Clause by targeting out-of-state operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe law doesn\u2019t just strain budgets \u2014 it\u2019s a constitutional time bomb,\u201d said Republican Party energy lawyer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Jensen. \u201cForcing companies to pay for past emissions<\/a> they couldn\u2019t foresee is trial by legislature, not due process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read it all at NewsTarget<\/a>  and The Daily Caller.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, it\u2019s hard to know how much different a half a million here or there in lobbying makes, but if they are openly cheering on climate taxes like this, and providing testimony supporting the law, what\u2019s going on behind closed doors, with Quid Pro Quo deals and honeypot extortion, and who is trying to find out? House Republicans have begun probing the CPC funding, but behind closed doors there may be no paper trail unless a patriotic whistleblower speaks up.<\/p>\n\n\n

As a tool of warcraft, it\u2019s a bargain for China to throw money at green charities in the West<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We already know they are sending money through the Energy Foundation China<\/a> which ends up in environmental groups in the USA, like the Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC), that files legal challenges to stop oil pipelines, drilling, coal plants and other mining activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China would be crazy if they weren\u2019t\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

China controls the rare metals market, builds the wind turbines and solar panels, and now also the EV\u2019s. Obviously, on a pure self-serving business level, the CCP would be crazy if they weren\u2019t amplifying Green fantasia in the West in order to sabotage the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypothetically, if China was feeding millions of dollars through NGO\u2019s and philanthropic organizations, and our traitorous universities, what would stop it happening \u2014 <\/em>investigative reporting from The ABC, the BBC or the CBC? How about CNN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In years to come people may come to see the whole sorry escapade of the \u201cClimate Wars\u201d as a tactic where the Blob used China and China used the Blob to screw over The West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
