Leftist threaten to blow up pipelines?

 Jazz Shaw:

If you’re not familiar with David Takayoshi Suzuki, he’s a Canadian television presenter who focuses on climate change and other environmental issues. In fact, he’s frequently referred to as the “Godfather of the Canadian environmental movement.” He’s found himself in a bit of hot water, however, following a speech he gave at a rally held by the eco-terrorism group Extinction Rebellion. During his presentation, Suzuki went much further than simply calling for reductions in carbon emissions and more renewable energy. Unless the group’s demands are met, he declared that there would be “pipelines blown up.” Despite apologizing later for remarks that he said were made “out of extreme frustration,” the group he was addressing seized on his words and then went several steps further.

Extinction Rebellion – the radical environmental group funded by American millionaires with a global reach – have reaffirmed their support of eco-terrorism.

This call to violence came after David Suzuki, known as the godfather of the Canadian environmental movement, spoke at a recent Extinction Rebellion rally and called for blowing up pipelines. Suzuki said in a media interview:

“We’re in deep, deep doo-doo. This is what we’re come to. The next stage after this, there are going to be pipelines blown up if our leaders don’t pay attention to what’s going on.”

That was all that the Extinction Rebellion members needed to hear. They quickly issued a press release saying that Suzuki’s words were “a prediction of what is to come.”

Not being satisfied with that, Extinction Rebellion’s National Action & Strategy Coordinator Zain Haq said, “Not only will pipelines be blown up, but we can be certain that world leaders will be put on trial for treason or worse – be killed.”

Haq seemed to realize that he’d stepped far, far over the line, and tried to walk himself back a bit. He attempted to assure everyone that ER’s members are “nonviolent,” but then warned that they “cannot control the actions of those outside of this movement who may commit acts of violence.”

This is the kind of thinking that makes sane people believe these people should be punished by freezing in the dark.  Eco-terrorism is a war on modernity.  The left has made a fetish out of opposing pipelines which are the safest and cleanest way to trasport oil and gas .
