All in all, it is a good life. Much better than the path we were on, where it became so clear that we could not continue with the same model of growth. We had all these terrible things happening: lifestyle diseases, climate change, the refugee crisis, environmental degradation, completely congested cities, water pollution, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment. We lost way too many people before we realized that we could do things differently.

The quote above comes from an article written in Forbes by Ida Auken, a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Ida is a Danish politician and her article is best known for its title - “Welcome to 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better”.

Following criticism of her article, Ida claimed that the piece was merely meant to “start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development”. How would our lives be improved if we enacted the United Nations’ sustainable development goals by 2030, commonly known as Agenda 2030?

Now it’s difficult to argue with many of the goals. It would be great if the majority of their goals were achieved as quickly as possible. However, tucked away at unlucky 13 is ‘climate action’. Yes, that’s the one, the one with the creepy all seeing eye icon.

And that is the main problem with these goals - Surveillance. Surveillance and control by the Big Brother all seeing eye climate action fanatics. Because to achieve their goals, in the time frame stated, means everybody having to make major changes to their lifestyles.

It is easy to see how the Agenda 2030 crowd think. Noble goals, such as ending global poverty and hunger, seems like a no brainer. Why shouldn’t the masses consume less, fly less, heat their houses less etc etc to achieve such important targets?

But much like communism, everyone has to be in on the plan or it just doesn’t work at all. You can’t have communism whilst a percentage of the population are free-market capitalists. Nor can you achieve climate targets if a percentage of the population are using fossil fuels.

Combine that with the climate fanatics, who actually believe the world will end in 30 years time, and you can see where this is going. Global surveillance and totalitarianism. It’s the only way. How can we save the Earth or end global poverty if half the world won’t listen. Everyone MUST listen and ASAP.

But people won’t listen. Most people are too busy running from paycheque to paycheque, bill to bill, to want to adjust their lives for the worse. Most people don’t want to stop going on holiday because it’s the one time of the year they get to relax after working so hard. Most people don’t want to turn the heating down in the winter because they don’t want to feel cold (or die).

The metropolitan elite, the ones who are pushing this new pseudo-religious form of self-flagellation, can’t ever understand this. To them, forgoing one of their eight foreign holidays is easy. Paying for the latest, accepted ways of heating a house (e.g. heat pumps) means they are doing their bit without having to risk dying from cold. And that’s if they actually follow their own rules, for many it’s a case of “rules for thee, not for me”.

God is dead

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”

Nietzsch - The Gay Science

God is dead. And that God shaped hole needs filling. The Science™ and Climate Change are trying their very best to fill that hole. And the followers of these new religions don’t realise it. They mock the old God/s, they ridicule anyone who is still religious but fail to see that they are the priests of these neo-religions.

As I said above, the majority have extremely good intentions. However, the majority of humans have extremely good intentions. We all want a clean, beautiful planet. We all want poverty and hunger to disappear. These aren’t new or clever ideas but the priests of the neo-religions act as if they are. However, they don’t realise they are being used by the people who have money and power and who want as much of it as possible.

Absolute Zero

Unfortunately, those pushing the climate agenda are in great positions of power. We know this by looking at the un-democratic legislation that has passed around the world. For example, the former Prime Minister, Theresa May, as her leaving legacy, enshrined in law the UK’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050. It has been estimated that this will cost a minimum of £1 Trillion. Nobody voted for this but yet it was forced upon the British population, ensuring a lower standard of living for the foreseeable future. The same is true in many other countries around the world.

So we know they are in positions of power to push whatever agenda they want. So what do they want?

The Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) progress report wants us to, amongst many other things, eat less meat, fly less and cycle more. But the report gets more sinister than that - it recommends that governments look at behavioural nudging techniques to change our lifestyle choices.

These behavioural changes are to make us reduce meat and dairy consumption by 20 percent by 2030 and 35 percent by 2050. They want us to demand stricter rules on household energy performance, use carbon import taxes and introduce road pricing to help replace lost fuel duty due to electric cars. All these things will increase people’s bills and massively impact their lifestyles.

A report produced by leading universities and sponsored by the UK Government shows us further what these lunatics want. (page 6 if the writing is too small to read)

In the UK, by 2030, they want all airports closed except for Heathrow (England), Glasgow (Scotland) and Belfast (Northern Ireland). By 2050 they want them all closed.

Within eight years they want shipping to contract with only freight ships operating without emissions. By 2050 they want all shipping to decline to zero.

Line after line is sheer lunacy but that is what they are pushing for.

Panopticon

But they know that people won’t just lie down and watch their wealth disappear and lifestyles radically change. They know people would be in the street revolting. So instead they want you to want these things. You will want to stop eating meat, you will want to fly less, you will want to have less money. You will choose to own nothing and be happy and there will be nobody to blame other than yourself.

So how will they make you want these things. Well, as alluded to above, the infamous nudging techniques will be used and you won’t even know they have been.

The panopticon is a type of institutional building and a system of control designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates being able to tell whether they are being watched.

Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that they are motivated to act as though they are being watched at all times. Thus, the inmates are effectively compelled to regulate their own behaviour.

Although not the same as the panopticon, the result is very similar, citizens regulating their own behaviour. Instead of being forced to do something, they do it through their own ‘free will’, not realising that their will was not so free and they have been manipulated the whole time.

The CCC suggests “the price of flying should be raised to the point that it acts as an effective signal to consumers that aviation has high emissions costs”. Basically saying that only rich people should fly. And this is what we’ve been seeing. Flights becoming prohibitively expensive combined with never ending disruption, delays and cancellations meaning people think “actually I’d rather not go abroad anymore”. So instead of telling you to stop flying, you have decided to stop flying yourself, without realising that you have been nudged into it.

The last two years has instilled this new normal way of self regulation into people. Two years of psychological torment and manipulation has left people with PTSD. They are now so malleable that they are being nudged left, right and centre without realising it.

Two years ago, there would be uproar if you went to the doctor and they turned you away or you couldn’t get in contact with them. Then the pandemic began and this became normalised. Now, even though hospitals are not under threat any more (were they ever?), you still can’t see a doctor but the people say nothing. This has become the norm.

Now your bills have risen an extortionate amount so you drive less. In the winter you will put the heating on less because, again, your fuel bills will make it prohibitive. But it wasn’t the climate lunatics making you do it. No, you chose to do it yourself, there is nobody to blame but you (and Putin). Although in reality you were nudged into changing your behaviour by those very same climate lunatics.

Self regulation is becoming the new self censorship. And you won’t have anyone to blame other than yourself because you choose to do these things (although you didn’t).
