Boquist: Cap-and-trade is a national security threat

Last week, the House Veterans and Emergency Preparedness Committee held hearings with the intent to cast climate change and global warming as threats to national security.

The documents provided in the committee should not be taken at face value because they are from politically correct collaborators in the military industrial intelligence complex that failed in Iraq and Afghanistan after nearly two decades. It is about money and budgets, not real national security. Further, the military's climate change admirals, generals and contractors did nothing as Communist China built a world-class military and navy that can challenge anyone in the Pacific Ocean clear to our own coastline. In fact, Washington, D.C., and the Pentagon's profiteers collaborated with the People's Republic of China.

Senate Bill 1530, cap-and-trade, is extortion disguised as an environmental bill. The entire world's carbon footprint is 36.8 billion metric tons, and Oregon's part of that is 1/10th of 1%. Even the proponents of this piece of legislation say Oregon's contribution to world greenhouse gas emissions is immeasurable. The legislation handcuffs Oregon businesses while directly benefiting Communist China. Its connection to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown's climate agreements with Communist China remains a mystery.

It more accurately is Cap and TAX and needs to be identified to the public as such.
