It Is Essentially TREASON!!!

My good friend Rollie Hanson brought up a good point in a discussion about the power and influence of big wind foreign corporations within the U.S.   He asked “Is this the way it will go from town to town?”

I got to thinking and want to expand on those thoughts.

In the industrial wind and renewable debate you often hear that big wind and solar are going to lead us to energy independence, energy security, and thus strengthen our national security. It all sounds so patriotic.  Problem is it necessitates the destruction of democratic and patriotic principles to get there, backed by large foreign interests and backed by our own governments and citizens as well.

However, what  happens when large foreign corporations secretly slink into small rural communities out of sight of the large urban areas where the political power and votes are?  Then they to subvert the very fundamentals so essential to American democracy by intimidating  voters and suppressing  free speech using uniformed American citizens and governments as their  direct agents as we have seen right here in Cape Vincent. These people who become agents of big wind  have no clue what they are doing in the blindness created by sums of cash.   Big wind is  in fact attempting to quietly subvert community by community the very system we have used for a couple hundred years in American to hold off this type of enemy and the threat to freedom and democracy…yet we wake up some morning and there they are right in our community…right in our  back yard.  Makes me proud to be a NIMBY!!!

What’s worse,  the NYS government is, with their Article X, working on behalf of large foreign strategies to take away our rights on the  behalf of these corporate bullies at the expense of our communities and very freedoms and rights. It is not a joke or small potatoes.

Somebody is going to have to explain to me how this industrial wind invasion subverting our rights and freedoms and democratic system slowly and quietly town by town  on the behalf of giant foreign energy corps  is supposed to add to our national security when they take our fundamental rights away!!!!! You don’t appease this type of system.

The new Cuomo PR ads on TV even in my state of AZ  tells the world  “New York Works for Business”.  That is code language that large corps clearly understand.  The ads just don’t tell you or show you the subversion of basic rights it will take and how far NY will go and what they will sit by and endorse to keep NY open for business.

Essentially NY enabling the subversion of our rights and democracy out of sight  in our small rural communities is akin to treason on American communities and citizens!!!  It just looks all so respectable. At the same time they march the message out  before the world telling them to look at the wonderful things they are doing for renewable energy, the climate, energy and business.  Hidden out of sight in the ads is the fact our communities are being badly exploited.  Think about it…in rural NY you essentially now  live in the third world where resources are exploited at the cost of human rights and the voices that oppose it are silenced.  Whether it’s here or in Latin America or anywhere else it’s NO different!!!!

We in Cape Vincent KNOW all too well the end results of this insidious subversion of our rights on behalf of large corporate interests and how it grinds away at our freedoms.

There should be NO appeasement…and considering this... we can not allow it to happen here.
