Climate Depot Founder On ‘Team Biden’ & The Radical Climate Agenda - OAN TV - In Focus w/ Alison Steinberg - Broadcast May 18, 2023 

Morano on Biden spending $11 billion for solar & wind in rural America: "This is literally a money laundering scheme for the green agenda. That's all this is. $11 billion to do more solar and wind which isn't going to produce energy. At best, it's going to make a few makeshift government jobs that expire when the money for the solar and wind mandates runs out. We've already been through this with Obama administration when Solyndra was booming business until it wasn't when the money ran out. And so they're going to make their grids less reliable, more prone to blackouts. This is truly nuts."

Morano on pushing bug eating: "Climate policy creates food shortages -- which then they can say, 'well, here's a solution to the problem we created with our policy, you have to eat bugs, and it's a game changer of a problem'.  This is a real thing. They're pushing insect eating on us by manufacturing a food crisis through bad government policy."

WSJ: "The industry is recruiting consumers whose tastes are still in the larval state. Timothée Olivier, who works for Swiss Insects, an association of companies that sell bugs for human consumption, organized the tasting at the middle school. For the past four years, he has been touring Swiss schools touting the benefits of eating insects and bringing along samples. “They are young, more open to novelty,” noted Mr. Olivier. ...

Insects are an environmentally friendly source of protein and vitamins, and generate a fraction of the greenhouse gases of raising cattle, pigs and other livestock. And scientists say they are safe to eat, provided they are raised in controlled environments.

Psyop: Hundreds of schools in The Netherlands introduce 10-12 y/o kids to mealworms & insects – Goal to bring about ‘behavioral changes through unprejudiced children’

A leaked Whitehall draft of the Carbon Budget proposed the “development of more sustainable protein sources for human diets.” Along with promoting a vegan diet, it said that “insects may offer environmental benefits.” ... 

Earlier this year, Brussels approved crickets and mealworms to be sold as “novel foods” for humans. Scientists claim insects have a smaller carbon footprint as they require fewer resources to be farmed.

NPR labels push for humans to eat insects "a conspiracy theory that elites want people to eat bugs." ... "A bug-eating conspiracy theory goes mainstream"

NPR: "In recent years, however, this aversion has fused with an amorphous and shapeshifting conspiracy theory in which a shadowy global elite conspires to control the world's population. For those who espouse the theory, eating bugs isn't just a matter of disgust, or questioning the impacts of climate change. It's framed as a matter of individual freedom and government control."

NPR: Refusing to eat bugs is racist?! "Europeans felt they needed European foods," Julie Lesnik, an associate professor of biological anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit told NPR. "There is very much a worry that if you ate the Indigenous foods, you would become a savage." "Conservative media influencers continue to tap into this sentiment today," NPR declared, before writing that "Lesnik sees a throughline between the early colonizers and the conservative outrage today." "The easiest punching bag ... is to pick on something that looks uncivilized," Lesnik said.
