Copenhagen Climate Talks: Monckton "Hitler Youth" Video
After calling a group of young people from Sustain US, "hitler youth" and "Nazis" at the Copenhagen climate summit yesterday, Christopher Monckton confronts the same youth today and says:
"I will not shake the hand of Hitler youth."
Making it even more unacceptable (if that's even possible), the person who's hand he refuses to shake, Ben Wessel, is Jewish.This is the same Christopher Monckton who once wrote in an article entitled, The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS, that anyone with the disease should be quarantined for life.
This is appalling bigotry and Monckton is completely and utterly out of line for labeling young people who represent our future such things.
Here's a transcript, starting at minute 2:49:
Ben Wessel: First of all my name is Ben [sticks his hand out to shake]
Monckton: No, no. I'm not going to shake the hand of Hitler Youth. I'm sorry.
Wessel: Sir, as a Jew, I'm not really sure how I should take that.
Monckton: I'll tell you how you should take it. You should take it.
Wessel: My grandparents escaped the Nazis growing up in Germany.
Monckton: World food prices have doubled. That is because of the global warming scare. You won't look at the science. As a result of that, millions are dying in third world countries because of the biofuel scam, because of the global warming scare.
And you people don't care. And until you start caring I will call you Hitler youth if you ever again interupt any meeting I am present, where we are trying to have a private conversation.
Note: I really think the youth delegations should test this out on any future events Monckton is at in Copenhagen.
Monckton [talking over everyone]: Tough luck. So now you know what it looks like when you do robotic chants [huh?] of the sort which the Hitler youth used to do in Copenhagen when they occupied this city.
Unidentified youth: Sir, you just need to grow up!
Monckton: So I think you should all just chill out and accept that if you ever behave like that again I will call you that again in public. You're already now known and your faces around the world are known as members of the Hitler youth.
You people do as much damage to the poor as the Hitler Youth did. And you've got to accept that if you're not willing to take it, then you shouldn't give it. And don't go around invading people's meetings again.
Good day to you all.
[Monckton walks away and Wessel follows to apologize]
Wessel: I think its good to not try and drown out other people's opinions and I do agree with that.
Monckton: That's what you did. That's what the Hitler Youth did.
[Monckton interupts Wessel]
Monckton: That what the Hitler Youth did. And if you did what the Hitler Youth did, I'll call you what you are -- Hitler Youth.
And you'll like or it or you'll lump it.
Wessel: Okay. I'll let you know how I feel about that personally in a second.
Monckton: Tough
....
Wessel: I would like to give you my card, if you would like to discuss this.
Monckton: I do not take the cards of the Hitler Youth.
Wessel: This is absurd and I'm just getting a little frustrated.
....
Monckton: I will call you what you are and you will like it or lump it. And if you dare ever invade any meeting of mine again and behave in that childish, Hitler-ish fashion.
Do I make myself clear?
