I'm going to go out on that limb and say This isn't about solving a problem, it's about CONTROL. Just because the whole Covid scam is falling apart, it doesn't mean the ENTIRE fraud is going away.

You are not the only one out on that limb. I am in complete agreement with you. I do not think it's mere coincidence that all of these new 'measures' dovetail with the UN's Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs), along with the Build Back Better Great Reset. It is all about controlling all aspects of our lives. See also: "What better way to Build Back Better than in the smoke of war": https://azradale.substack.com/p/what-better-way-to-build-back-better

Cheers! I listen to my gut feelings... There are many excellent front-line journalists (not MSM, but independent, such as James Corbett) who provide the evidence for what's happening. Me, I'm an opinion writer... I read and explore, and then do a sort of summing-up, or analysis. Looks like there are plenty of real diggers on this thread! Anyway, Welcome to the gang of Truthers.

Thank you! Feels good to be amongst truth seekers. I like J Corbett. I watched his B. Gates video. As I said I always go with my gut/intuition. When I saw him on the stand in the clip and he replied to the judge, “what do you mean by concerned?” That specific moment was chilling. It captured who he is (in my opinion). I also saw Corbett’s interview with Catherine Austin Fitts from The Solari Report who I like. I don’t watch or listen to any MSM. Those days are gone. I read and explore and deep dive (too much sometimes) like you but I don’t post anything. I do write privately, not in any formal sense. I read and listen to all points of views, regardless of political party or opposing view. I keep my curiosity flowing. I’m also fairly new to Substack so I will check out your writing. Peace!

While China, India the Middle East and Russia laugh their butts off. Nothing industrialized nations do will make the dent that a modest change would in India and China, the world's worst polluters. The US produces energy far cleaner, with far smaller environmemental impact than China, Russia and the Middle East. "Electric" is NOT renewable; strip mining to make batteries, which then leech when they're disposed of, is filthy, irreversible, and supports slavery. Meanwhile, we lose the productivity edge we do have, while driving our enemies into each others' arms. Brilliant.

As that chinese man said long ago: never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Confirm to him that he his making the right choice instead, and edge him to his doom.

On the other hand, western politicians are singularly uneducated, anti-intellectual and and proudly anti-civilisational. Our prime minister here in Sweden during 2006-2014 used to crow about only ever reading Ayn Rand and the cheapest kind of pulp fiction. He was proud of not having studied anything you'd think such a person should know, no matter his ideological bent.

And he is not unique but representative. Ignorance is strength.

No the real problem is that we have passed peak oil and the Ukraine 'War' is being used as an excuse to ration

Oil Discoveries are at record lows https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/icbkDFACM4iA/v2/800x-1.png

According to Rystad, the current resource replacement ratio for conventional resources is only 16 percent. Only 1 barrel out of every 6 consumed is being replaced with new resources

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Biggest-Oil-Gas-Discoveries-Of-2019.html

If there is so much easy oil left, then why are we drilling beneath the ocean, blasting and sucking out the dregs of old wells and steaming oil out of sand?

I am not contesting that either. This civilization has run its course. And is reaching its logical conclusion. For many reasons. Amen, and awoman! Amish were right. 500 years in the making. But it was obvious to some back then already.

The Word Herder's avatar

This "civilization"? Please expound on that... Because as I see it the Industrial Revolution is a miserable failure, from the standpoint of Earth Stewardship. But that seems to be mostly because, imo, there are virtually entirely the wrong sort of people running the show... Without going into pages and pages of symptomology and psychology and the irresponsibility and stupidity of mutant psychopaths running the planet, it seems to me that too much wealth is actually one of the main, or THE main problem. When people come to believe that they are above EVERYTHING-- laws, morality, Nature, other people-- and those people have almost ALL the wealth, well... Covid, for example. Global govt. for example. Starvation and sickness and profits from them, for example.

Yes...early March 2020 was tested positive. Dry cough three days, never felt a fever, did wake up soaking wet on day four, felt like the flu, slept for 12 hours a day, no energy for 10 days. I believe it was what is often described as long covid and the cause of arterial fibrillation inducing shortness of breath and an emergency room visit months later.

>Reduce speed limits on highways by at least 10km/h;

My car uses more gas going 80km/h than 90km/h, which is the standard speed on most country roads here. How is that better?

>Make public transport cheaper; incentivise micro-mobility, walking and cycling;

I have 40km to the nearest major town (9 000) with any stores or markets.

>Car-free Sundays in large cities;

And the cost for enforcing this curfew is covered how?

>Work from home up to three days a week where possible;

Yes, that's going to be real easy for roofers, loggers and so on. This is class warfare, intended to herd what few people live rural into the Molok of the futurist's modern day Metropolis.

>Alternate private car use in large cities;

Ahhh, enviro-fascist communism! We tried it in the seventies, in communes. Didn't even work a week. Want to bet no-one returns such a car with anything left in the tank?

>Urge car sharing and practices that decrease fuel use;

See above.

>Promote efficient use of freight trucks and goods delivery;

Yes, and who pays freight fees? If I order a full load of construction materials, it's a $170 minimum fee. If I use our car and our trailer, I can instead spend that money on material and other stuff in town, making the merchants fatter and happier, and creating better ripple effects in our local economy.

>Hasten adoption of electric and more efficient vehicles;

So who's paying for a Tesla for me? Elon? Bueller? And can I drive it for eight hours in -25C, or on uneven bumpy roads in forested mountains? One crack in the battery casing and what happens?

>Avoid business travel when alternatives exist;

Will do as soon as NGO-reps, CEOs and politicians have done so consistently for at least five years running. Don't hold your breath.

>Prefer high-speed and night trains to planes where possible.

See above. Oh, and maybe use Amtrak to show how it's done. I'll wait.

As I always say to this kind of idiots: come live with us for a year, according to your proposed rules. I'll even throw in free matches for the heater, for when there's a power outage during snowstorms. Careful now, don't light that stove - think of your carbon footprint. Want to eat? The bike's over there, and the closest food is a meager 40km through the forest. Need to see a doctor? Well, the bus passes by down on the road twice daily, so you could bike to the bus stop. Just don't miss it on the return trip or you'll have to wait until morning for the next one.

And so on. Generally, with these Green Khmer's, they shut up when confronted with the stark reality that not everyone lives in their nations eq. of Manhattan.

You beat me to it! So I'll offer this instead. Last fall my brother in-law bought an electric car. Then, just after Christmas, it got a little chilly. 43 below zero. For three days. So when it warmed up, to 35 below, he tried to go to the store. A mile and a half. Each way. Almost made it back to his driveway. Ran extension cords from a neighbour's to get an emergency charge. Going to get a non-politically correct vehicle.

If your b-i-l is handy or knows someone who is, why not opt for a woodgas-powered car? Many pick-up trucks are ideal for conversion, apparently. Could be a good thing to have as back up, especially if you also get a generator of the right kind. That way, if the power goes, you can still charge basic appliances by running the woodgas generator for electrical charge instead - just make sure it's a well ventilated area, since there is a real risk of carbon monoxide poisoning otherwise.

That's something the wife and I are looking into, she being the handy one and I being the ideas type. First year we lived here in the deep dark woods, the power went for several days when it was -35C outside. We slept next to the kitchen stove (gods of the lands bless Husqvarna!), on reindeer furs using two skins - one horse and one cow - as covers. Without the dogs acting like heaters, I wonder if we'd have made it.

Honestly the situation will be even more bleak in the cities. Forget daily conveniences, this sort of madness will eventually lead to famine. Maybe that's the point.

I'd still rather be out in the country with you than in the big city (where I unfortunately am) as this demicidal tyranny gets worse.

I agree to all the points. These people have poop in their brains, what absurd rationality, never thought I would have put those words together. Let bottom line, they want to rule us all. They to be the gods ( I mean wise government) that know what is best for us, have nothing and be happy. This sounding more like slavery to me. Of course we all average people don't have any aspirations or hopes that is why we have not reach the rich, probably that is their mentality. There is a lot of people that will happy when they are given all and they are told what to do. But to a larger group I think, we don't like that. These elite, of course will not be living in small places or without luxuries, but who are they in reality. You know if we are to unite and do what the younger brother does to the older, once they reach an age and the younger is tired of the abuse, and stands up and says no more, guess what that is the end. The millions these people have are nothing, yes it buys things now but we are much more than paper money. I hope more and more people stand up and say NO MORE.

I was a junior in high school living in Frankfurt, Germany in 1974 when they imposed a "no driving on Sunday" rule. I can't remember how long it lasted. To those who think electric vehicles are the only way to go, they are unaware of the true environmental impact of generating electricity -- along with the caveats of keeping up with demand. You only have to look to California to see what a much larger swath of the world will endure if the overlords manage to dictate an all-electric world.

Not too long ago, everyone was pushing natural gas vehicles. They burn clean fuel and there is an abundance of it in the United States. Still the shift to all-electric seems to be a "too-tempting- to-pass-up" opportunity to transfer enormous wealth by destroying the oil and gas energy sectors and putting money in the pockets of those determined to control us. Plus, they'll be sure to control the price with an iron fist. Without energy alternatives, the cost will be exhorbitant (aka unaffordable).

Funny that it won't interfere with going to the mosque or temple on sabbath.

I think it's just stupidity and the liberal left's usual hate for chritistians, seeing as you can neither bleat about the Holocaust or become relentlessly violent for any slight, meaning you're safe to pick on.

But if you're feeling conspirational about it, one of the tribes control lots and lots of oil, and the other the banks, so that conspiracy sort of creates itself.

Me, I'm sticking to stupidity for the time being.

As a new driver during the 70s I can recount the Carter gas shortage/crisis. You could only get gas on odd or even days, that was determined by the last digit on your license plate. You sat in long lines to get the gas which imo was counter productive to trying to conserve gasoline. It was a hazard having so many vehicles blocking a traffic lane. I don't recall if there was a limit on how many gallons you could buy because I couldn't afford to fill my tank.

Today the vehicles are much more fuel efficient and actually do better at higher speeds. I don't know why they think slowing down will save fuel.

I just posted a comment about my experience back then. I remember turning the car off and on while waiting in the line, thinking it saved fuel. But I have no issue with lowering the speed limit. Where I live, people constantly drive 20 mph over the speed limit, weaving in and out of traffic. That behavior was reduced when the speed limit was lowered back then, at least where I lived.

How quaint - it was only last year that these characters released their report "Net Zero by 2050" - IEA.

This report contained the stunning analysis “no need for investment in

new fossil fuel supply in our net zero pathway”.

The Ukraine 'War' is all about providing cover for peak oil.

We will NEVER be told we are on the downslope - cuz that would cause panic.

Instead we invent a war (War Lite - Potemkin War) and blame that for the rationing.

Welcome to the Energy Pandemic. The bio-weapon approach is far from over but they had to do a tactical retreat because they lost control of the narrative, and people were(are)dying. This amounts to circling back to Climate as the fresh horse to ride, but make no mistake the Public Health horse has just been taken to the stable for re-shoeing. Stand by and keep up with your Vitamin D, Quercetin, Zinc and Vitamin C. The Globalists will soon have 2 horses in the race. Look for Climate to be harnessed to Public Health in more specific ways through propaganda and flooding the zones. Yes of course it as all about Control, of every aspect of your life and mine. They are after 100% control of the global energy industry, from probably 70% control today. Executive powers will continue to be the mode of choice, with increasing brazenness in squashing legal and constitutional rights. The 10 point plan will show up as Executive Fiat, with both penalties and incentives to achieve compliance. Look for internal combustion engines to be outlawed at some point, almost certainly in a phased approach. Energy and Environment are 2 sides of the same coin, and when they reach control nirvana the coin will be the pretext to tell you where you can live, what kind of house(apartment) you can live in, whether you can own a car or not, how far and where you can drive(and when), whether you can travel or not and how. There really is so much more stated between the lines of the 10 point plan than is explicit.

When to feel like an animal in a cage: All they need is:

1. Public Health emergency powers

2. A never ending Climate and Energy pandemic

3. Digital wallets in every pocket(full of digital currency and a digital passport)

Yeah, I lived through the 70's and all of the nonsense solutions they came up with. None of that crap worked! NOT. A. SINGLE. THING.

How about the Biden bozos change course and start encouraging producing more oil? It's not like the brain trust in Washington DC couldn't have seen the Ukraine invasion coming and changed gears months ago. That in its own right shows these people don't have the intelligence to govern. I don't accept any of the IEA nonsense.

The government manufactured all of theses problems. It's unreasonable to think that it will come up with solutions. NGO's like the IEA are quasi government and incapable of coming up with any real solutions.
