ONLY THREE THINGS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PERSISTENT GLOBAL POVERTY

THE THREE THINGS ARE:

1. SOCIALISM
2. ISLAMISM
3. CLIMATE ALARMISM

1. SOCIALISM PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM FREELY PRODUCING AND CONSUMING WHAT THEY WANT, PUNISHES THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE WHILE REWARDING SLOTH, AND PREDETERMINES OUTCOMES BY MAKING EVERYONE POORER.

NO NATION HAS GOTTEN MORE PROSPEROUS BY REDISTRIBUTING ITS GDP OR CENTRALLY CONTROLLING GDP; THEY HAVE ALL GOTTEN POORER. EVERY SOCIALIST NATION THAT HAS TRANSITIONED TO FREER MARKETS HAS GOTTEN MORE PROSPEROUS.

2. ISLAMISM IS A TOTALITARIAN PROGRAM WHICH SEEKS TO CENTRALLY CONTROL ALL BEHAVIOR AND LIMIT ALL INTELLECTUAL ENDEAVOR TO THOSE ACCEPTABLE TO SHARIA. AS A RESULT, NO ISLAMIC NATION HAS EVER INNOVATED ANYTHING; EVERY INNOVATION CREDITED BY DHIMMIS TO ISLAMIC CULTURE WERE IN FACT INNOVATIONS CREATED BY NON-MUSLIMS UNDER THEIR TYRANNICAL CONTROL.

AS PEOPLE BECOME LESS FREE TO PRODUCE AND CONSUME WHAT THEY WANT, THEY PRODUCE AND CONSUME LESS, AND BECOME POORER AND LESS ABLE TO PRODUCE OR CONSUME ANYTHING.

AFTER ALL, PROSPERITY IS A BY PRODUCT OF LIBERTY.

WITHOUT OIL - AND PERHAPS TOURISM, NO ISLAMIC NATION WOULD HAVE ANY GDP WORTH MENTIONING.

NEARLY 3/4 OF A BILLION MUSLIMS LIVE UNDER GOVERNMENTS AND IN CULTURES WHICH ARE OVERTLY CONTROLLED BY ISLAM - AND AN EQUAL AMOUNT IS UNDER THREAT OF GLOBAL JIHAD.

UNTIL THEY NO LONGER LIVE UNDER OR ARE THREATENED BY THIS ANTI-LIBERTARIAN IDEOLOGY THEY WILL REMAIN IN ECONOMIC DISTRESS.

3. CLIMATE ALARMISM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INFLATING THE COST OF ALL ENERGY AND RETARDING THE EXPANSION OF INDUSTRIALIZATION TO THE THIRD WORLD.

EXPENSIVE ENERGY INFLATES THE COST OF EVERYTHING ELSE, AND THAT HURTS POOR WORKING CLASS PEOPLE AND IMPOVERISHED THIRD WORLD PEOPLE THE MOST.

CLIMATE ALARMISM - OR CO2PHOBIA - IS BASED ON THE FALSE IDEA THAT MAN-MADE CO2 IS CAUSING ALARMING GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE.

THREE INDISPUTABLE FACTS PROVE THAT AGW AKA "MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE" IS A FALSE IDEA:

(A) THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THE CLIMATE CHANGE THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGE THAT IS OUTSIDE THE PROVEN CLIMATE CHANGE THAT OCCURRED DURING THE PRE-INDUSTRIAL ERA OF OUR  HISTORICAL AGE OR THE PREHISTORICAL/GEOLOGICAL RECORD.

(B) CO2 HAS STEADILY INCREASED THE LAST 12 YEARS BUT GLOBAL TEMPERATURES HAVEN'T AND NEITHER HAS THE FREQUENCY OR INTENSITY OF STORMS OF ANY TYPE - TORNADOES, HURRICANES, TYPHOONS, OR BLIZZARDS.

(C) ALL DRAMATIC APPEARING CHANGES - FROM KILIMANJARO, TO THE HIMALAYAS, GREENLAND, THE ARCTIC AND THE ANTARCTIC - CAN BE MORE EASILY EXPLAINED BY APPEALING TO LOCAL INPUTS AND NOT GLOBAL ONES.

THE CARBON-CONTROL SCHEMES DEVELOPED BY THE CLIMATE ALARMISTS HAVE NOT REDUCED MAN-MADE CO2 - NOT EVEN ONE-PART-PER-MILLION, BUT THEY HAVE IMPOVERISHED WORKING CLASS PEOPLE, SLOWED GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND RETARDED INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE THIRD WORLD WHILE ENRICHING MANY ALARMISTS AND THEIR CRONIES IN THE RULING CLASS.

IMPOVERISHING PEOPLE AND DISTORTING MARKETS - WHILE BENEFITING ITS PROPONENTS - ARE THE ONLY THING THE CLIMATE ALARMISTS HAVE REALLY ACCOMPLISHED.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY, THEN YOU SHOULD WORK TO MAKE SOCIALISM, ISLAMISM, AND CLIMATE ALARMISM HISTORY.

UNTIL THESE THREE IDEOLOGIES ARE VANQUISHED POVERTY WILL PERSIST AND GROW.
