Justice Department takes large step towards enforcing WEF agenda

The United States Justice Department last week made significant moves towards implementing the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) agenda with the announcement of an Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ). 

The WEF, which considers climate change to be the most critical global risk, relies on the enforcement of environmental mandates for its 2030 agenda. 

The organization marketed the agenda in a 2020 ad, which envisions meat being an “occasional treat, not a staple, for the good of our environment”; “Polluters will have to pay to emit carbon dioxide”; and “There will be a global price on carbon.”  

Many have compared the WEF’s globalist agenda, which also includes digital IDs, to a system not unlike China’s social credit system, where compliance with environmental laws would be a prerequisite for being given basic rights. 

Last week, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the creation of the Office of Environmental Justice, which he said would “oversee and help guide the Justice Department’s wide-ranging environmental justice efforts.” 

While Garland did not define “environmental justice” or discuss its statutes, he made clear that violators would be subject to law enforcement, providing the DoJ with an open interpretation of the law. 

“Environmental crime and injustice touch communities in all our cities, towns, rural areas, and on Tribal lands,” said Garland in a Thursday press briefing. 

“Although violations of our environmental laws can happen anywhere, communities of color, indigenous communities, and low-income communities often bear the brunt of the harm caused by environmental crime, pollution, and climate change.” 

The attorney general also announced that the DoJ is issuing an Interim Final Rule – a rule enacted by an agency without consulting with the public or elected officials – to allow defendants charged by the government to settle by sponsoring “supplemental environmental projects.” 

“These are environmentally beneficial projects that a defendant has proposed and agreed to implement as part of a settlement of an enforcement action,” said Garland. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael S. Regan, who spoke after Garland, said that there will be a crackdown on polluters according to a new enforcement strategy. 

“This environmental justice enforcement strategy epitomizes the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to holding polluters accountable as a means to deliver on our environmental justice priorities,” said Regan. 

Nowhere does the environmental justice enforcement strategy define “environmental justice”, though it urges law enforcement to charge offenders with crimes even outside of environmental law. 

“The Department must consider and make effective and appropriate use of all enforcement authorities and tools that might remedy environmental violations and contamination, including tools outside of the traditional environmental statutes,” says the document. “These tools may include enforcement actions under the environmental protection laws, but also actions under the civil rights laws, worker safety and consumer protection statutes, and the False Claims Act.” 

The WEF, who outlined the COVID-19 pandemic before it happened, is also concerned with environmental justice, having held a “Climate Justice Challenge” at the end of last year.
