An expose on progressive politics in America

Things Might Not Get A Lot Better…

And Its Time We Talked About It.

That was the headline they came up with on the UpWorthy homepage for this this video, produced on behalf of the Post Carbon Institute.

It was produced in conjunction with New Society Publishers which is another openly progressive book publisher with ties to the author of a number of book about progressive activism, one of which inspired the video in question.

The video is directed by Dalton Crosthwait who now works at MONSTRO. Two strands in what is quickly becoming a cobweb of closet-communism, spread across the internet, disguised as small business activists and community organizers.

I Start To Dig

As I began to follow their trail and connect the dots of association and involvement, I started to see that the people who produced the video were the same people trying to sell you these books, and then trying sell you on becoming active in one of their post carbon cult communities.

After a click on a featured partners links I come across a website called Balle – Be A Localist.

Balle is another large online network of businesses working together in their communities to build a network of like minded organizations.

I love a little online collaboration between creative communities so I wanted to know more, but something still felt off about the message in this video.

I still felt like there was an underlying message connecting the mission statement of these organizations and helping to unify their cause but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

I Dig Deeper

As I explored the Balle website, I found a list of their partners in their online efforts towards social sustainability.

At first glance they all seem to be pretty cool. Conscious companies trying to make a difference in their communities, through their products, by creating an economy around a sustainable environment.

Sounds Awesome! Tell Me More!

The first on their list of partners was a company called Etsy.

Now, I have a few friends who use the Etsy platform to sell their products online, but I don’t know a whole lot about the company itself. I hear their name in the world of eCommerce fairly frequently, so being the good little online marketer that I am, I decided to take this as an opportunity to learn more about them.

The Etsy about page proudly touts the B Corp certification that some of the other partners on the Balle site also had in common.

Having seen it a couple times now, I decided to learn more about B Corporations and their overall mission.

The B-Corp homepage claims that they are a network of “people using business as a force for good”.

I was all “F*@k Yeah!” because I thought I had finally found a place where businesses with a conscience could come to trade high fives online. I immediately wanted to become a part of the B-Team!” until I actually stopped to think about what I had just read.

I asked myself this question:

“Does that mean that all the other people on earth are using their business for evil?” And also… Who the hell wants to be on the “B” team? Just saying.

Poor Them

That all sounded a little too cold blooded, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt again.

I know that some people have a twisted view of capitalism but there is no way that these guys were saying that there are only 967 awesome businesses in the whole world… are they?

Maybe they just hadn’t found all of the other amazing businesses yet. Maybe they just need some kind of big announcement in order to get the word out.

If only they could find a huge platform to stand on globally in an attempt to reach the masses.

I Wanted To Believe

I was literally about to give up and admit defeat when I found the connection to the Clinton Global Initiative.

I wanted to quit digging, satisfied that my gut feelings had been wrong, but as I suspected, it was too good to be true.

I was starting to finally understand why I felt so sleazy when I initially watched this video. I realized that it was my gut telling me that I was not being entertained or educated. It was my brain sending up a red flag letting me know I was being indoctrinated.

They almost had me too, I was skeptical but bought in, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Then the oil tankers fell off the side of a flat earth and I actually laughed-out-loud at the irony of them using that visual representation as their metaphor for the entire argument.

The Earth Is Definitely Flat…

Sike.

It became apparent that this video was part a coordinated message.

Not specifically from a single group of people, sitting in a room plotting this specific video script or colors for the animations, but as a direct result of the efforts of the same people that are responsible for the global warming hoax, the green movement and the perpetuators of Agenda 21.

It didn’t take long from me to string this video back to a group of high level political activists who will stop at nothing to spread their message of globalism and social justice.

When you look at this video through that lens, you can quickly start to see it as another attempt to convince us that the current state of affairs is permanent and insurmountable.

You can then see it as a bold statement that from here on out, America will begin to move away from the A-equals-awesome column to the A-equals-average list of countries in the world.

I Barely Scratched The Surface

I could have kept going.

As I looked at the list of founding members there were a few that immediately jumped off the page with ties to the United Nations but I had already seen enough. I had already uncovered enough of a connection to at-the-very-least,  justify my initial skepticism about the message behind the video.

Am I Totally Off Base?

Can you imagine a situation where the same people running around screaming about the structure falling apart are the ones actually chipping away at its foundation; socially engineering the collapse that they are supposedly saving us from.

That they are trying to fundamentally transform our country into a pseudo-socialist state, controlled by the same special interests and political powers that they pretend to protect us from.

What makes this time any different?

These guys are trying to close the door to prosperity and success, and will seal it shut if we don’t act now to stop it. If we don’t acknowledge that the principles of small business have been co-opted by these closet communists in an attempt to fool us once again with their manufactured message of mediocrity.

One that they secretly feed us in the form of conscious capitalism, but be warned… things like this are rarely what they seem.
