Biden Praises Gas Prices as Part of “Incredible Transition”

“[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

The president then insisted that his administration’s actions, rather than increasing the price of gas, had actually been able to “keep it from getting worse — and it’s bad.”

Some people are expressing surprise at this, even though Biden has repeatedly vowed to impose a forced transition to non-existent “green” energy.

December 6, 2019:” We’re going to end fossil fuels”

March 8, 2020: “We’re gonna get rid of fossil fuels”

December 29, 2019: “We should put oil executives in jail”

January 20, 2020: I’ll ban fracking, stop the pipeline infrastructure

And so on. The “less (for you) is more” crowd has always been determined to reduce resources and control the populace. Fewer people, less energy, less food, and more — complete, in fact — dependence on a central authority for sustenance.

Unaffordable gasoline? No diesel? An inability to pay for electricity and heat? It’s all part of the plan. In New York alone, more than a million households are already behind at least 60 days on their utility bills, and shut-offs are increasing. In Maine, where home heating fuel climbed to $5.50 gallon from $1.49, last winter was tough; this coming winter will be disastrous.

Does anyone really believe that cities will be able to afford installing charging units for the cars of residents who park on the street? Or that rural landlords will be able and willing to run new power lines to the homes they rent? Only those who still believe in the Easter Bunny, and those aren’t the people running the show. No, the idea is for cars to be replaced by electric buses, car-pooling, and rental cars for those who can afford them. Everybody else can walk.

I heard an ad on the radio yesterday from some bank touting its easy-credit loans for poor people. It featured a black man (judging from his accent) picking up his girlfriend in his new-to-him used car, just purchased thanks to this friendly bank. “Where we going?”, his girlfriend asks. “Anywhere we want”, he replies. That is exactly the kind of freedom The Great Reset is designed to quash.
