The most interventionist politicians are really attacking the 2030 Agenda because, despite their pretenses to the contrary, their policies invariably have the opposite effect of what they seem to support. The socialists in all parties have taken over the 2030 Agenda, which does not advance industry, growth, equality, or the fight against poverty or hunger.
This exploitation of the 2030 Agenda’s objectives is exactly like the Trojan Horse that conceals people who will destroy the city beneath the guise of an impressive and lovely gift.
The number of farms in the European Union has drastically decreased in recent years. According to Eurostat, there were 9.1 million farms in 2020, a projected 37 percent decrease, or roughly 5.3 million fewer than in 2005. This trend has only worsened since 2020.
According to the European Commission itself, the EU’s agricultural land is predicted to shrink by 1.1 percent between 2015 and 2030, primarily due to the declines of the two main groupings (agricultural land and farming), which are forecast to decline by 4.0 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively. This implies ruining our future and increasing Europe’s dependence and poverty.
It is not acceptable for the industrial fabric to be destroyed. According to the International Energy Agency, businesses are now paying twice as much for electricity and natural gas as they would in China or the United States due to an energy strategy that is incorrect and enforced by activists who lack industry knowledge. And how is it justified by the bureaucracy? “The breakdown analysis reveals that the lower economic growth in the EU in relation to the world had the greatest negative impact on the contribution of its manufacturing sector,” according to a study published by the European Commission. It’s not that they are destroying industry, so don’t worry. It is just that the EU is growing far less than before. Fascinating (note the irony). As if the decline in competitiveness isn’t already a contributing factor in stagnation.
A report from the European Round Table for Industry (Vision Paper 2024–2029) states that the market share of European Union industry in the globe has plummeted from 21 percent in 2001 to a pitiful 14.5 percent. The paper also offers positive remedies. The U.S. proportion, which had a 21 percent share during the same period, decreased less significantly, to 16.5 percent. They reaffirm that “business is the lifeblood of a robust economy.” “The EU’s industrial sector contributes 16 percent of its GDP. It creates millions of jobs indirectly and 25 percent of direct employment. It is essential for advancing innovation and enhancing the capabilities of the labor force in addition to creating income and jobs. Its potential to promote growth and prosperity is enormous, given the correct conditions. These factors make it clear that Europe needs to increase its appeal to foreign investors.” Furthermore, what has been accomplished? Taxes, restrictions, and bureaucracy are increased, destroying the very thing they claim to safeguard.
Why do people accept the 17 goals of the 2030 Agenda which are redundant as free-market capitalism would achieve all of them without the need for propaganda? Interventionism has denigrated capitalism and free markets while positioning itself as the answer to the mistakes brought about by extensive intervention. The only ways that any of those goals will actually be met are through increased capitalism and economic freedom. Socialism not only falls short of all these goals, but it also adds a secret number 18: the cancelation and persecution of complainants.
It is not anti-European to criticize this agenda’s incorrect imposition. It is in favor of Europe.
Many of us were labeled anti-Europeans years ago for supporting nuclear energy. The EU made agreements recently to create new reactors in large quantities. When we criticized the fiscal plunder and bureaucracy placed on farming, agriculture, and industry years ago, we were labeled anti-Europeans. Many governments are realizing now how grave a mistake they made. Similarly, criticizing the digital euro does not mean attacking the euro; rather, it means arguing that it should continue to be a store of value and maintain its purchasing power.
Being pro-European does not mean accepting every interventionist policy put out by a committee of bureaucrats. We must reject socialism and central planning if we are to protect Europe. Despite decades of financial support, East Germany is still struggling to recover from the devastation caused by central planning.
Centralized planning does not work. It was never successful. However, there are always those who believe that if they put it into practice, it will work because they do not have to pay for the repercussions.
What is the ruse behind this latest attack on liberty? The usual “good intentions” to target and penalize those who produce and create jobs, using goals that appear innocent and that we all defend. Thus, if you disagree, some may claim that you are opposed to ending poverty, hunger, and inequality if you publish a piece like this one or warn against the risks of central planning. Can you spot the ruse? In actuality, it employs the same tactic as Leninism, which is to create an oppressive government while hiding behind a cause that everyone supports.
The people who have stocked this Trojan Horse with warriors ready to mercilessly slaughter the city’s populace once they are behind the wall are well aware that their scheme will fail so they must enforce objective number 18, which establishes the only connection between reality and the fallacy of central planning. What does objective number 18 mean? Suppression and annihilation of personal autonomy, impoverishment, and elimination of demand. It’s not even a hidden target. This set of self-proclaimed European saviors is aware that imposing a contraction in demand is the only way to make the equation of corporate destruction and declining supply square, rendering us less free and poorer.
The first thing we should do is give up on socialism and stand up for the promotion of individual freedom if we want to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals without the covert eighteenth of poverty and elimination of individuals’ rights.
The only way to accomplish the goals that the 2030 Agenda purports to support is to take these policies out of the hands of socialist and extortionate interventionism and give Europe greater economic freedom, more robust businesses, and regulations that are straightforward, predictable, and conducive to investment. There should be less poverty redistributors and more manufacturing, farming, and agriculture.

]]>But that was what the “2023 SDG Summit” was all about.
Leaders from all over the planet got together and pledged to do whatever is necessary to meet those goals on time.
They are calling it “a new phase of accelerated progress”. The following comes directly from the official UN webpage about this summit…
The 2023 SDG Summit took place on 18-19 September 2023 in New York. It marked the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030.
Convened by the President of the General Assembly, the Summit marked the half-way point to the deadline set for achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. It was the centerpiece of the High-level Week of the General Assembly. It responded to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world and is expected to reignite a sense of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm for the 2030 Agenda.
The globalists really do intend to implement the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals by the time the UN General Assembly convenes in September 2030.
That is just 7 years from now, and so the clock is ticking.
During the “2023 SDG Summit”, global leaders “adopted a sweeping Political Declaration” in which they committed themselves to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals within the next 7 years…
Kicking off the second half of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, world leaders at the SDG Summit 2023 today adopted a sweeping Political Declaration to reaffirm their shared commitment to end poverty and hunger everywhere, combat inequalities within and among countries and build peaceful societies that leave no one behind.
The adoption of the 10-page document, by the Heads of State and Government and high representatives gathering at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, came at a critical juncture as global crises — including armed conflict, adverse climate impacts and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic — threaten the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
The “Political Declaration” is 10 pages long, and you can read it for yourself right here.
On the fifth page of the document, we are told that there is an “urgent need to take the actions necessary to reverse declines and accelerate progress to achieve the 2030 Agenda and implement the SDGs.”
So what will it look like as we “accelerate progress” toward those goals?
Well, as Paul Joseph Watson has reported, a 20 mph speed limit is being slapped on every single residential road in Wales…
How would you feel if every single road in your community had a 20 mph speed limit?
Unfortunately, extreme measures such as this will soon be implemented all over the world.
The globalists are absolutely determined to meet their climate goals, and all the rest of us will suffer as a result.
On the tenth page of the document that the global leaders at the UN just adopted, “the Summit of the Future in 2024” is referenced…
We look forward to the Summit of the Future in 2024 as an important opportunity to, inter alia, accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs.
This exceedingly important meeting will be held just two months before the next presidential election in the United States.
At that gathering, UN member states are scheduled to adopt something called “a Pact for the Future”.
You can read about “the Summit of the Future” and the “Pact for the Future” on the official UN website right here.
On that page the UN openly admits that one of the purposes of “the Summit of the Future” is to “put in place a stronger international response playbook for complex global shocks, maximizing the use of the Secretary-General’s convening power in the form of an Emergency Platform”.
I have written about this “Emergency Platform” that is being proposed before. Essentially, if there is any sort of a major “global shock” the United Nations will be given authority “to ensure there is a unified, global response to the crisis”.
So what kind of a “global shock” would trigger these emergency powers? Well, a UN policy paper that was published some time ago explained that a future pandemic, a “major event in outer space” or even “unforeseen risks” would all qualify.
Ultimately, just about any sort of a crisis at all could be used to justify activating this new “Emergency Platform”. And once it is activated, officials at the UN would have the power to extend the emergency powers that they have been given indefinitely.
Needless to say, this is an extremely frightening proposal. We definitely do not want the UN to have emergency powers over the entire globe that could be extended indefinitely. Sadly, the Biden administration is fully behind this plan. And next September, the U.S. will agree to adopt the “Pact for the Future”.
Of course this is why they are rushing to get this done. With Biden in the White House, the globalists are able to greatly advance their agenda. But once he leaves, it will be a lot tougher. So time is of the essence.
I wish that more Americans understood what the globalists are trying to do, but unfortunately the mainstream media barely talks about any of this at all.
We live in such perilous times, and those that wish to erode our freedoms are absolutely relentless.

]]>The UN SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. The SDGs were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly with the intention of achieving them by the year 2030. The SDGs were part of a larger resolution known as the 2030 Agenda, or Agenda 2030, ostensibly aimed at fighting climate change.
The UN says the SDG Summit will mark the half-way point to the deadline for Agenda 2030 and the SDGs. The Summit will also mark a “new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030”. The UN is hoping the Summit will “reignite a sense of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm for the 2030 Agenda”.
The UN has also stated that achieving the SDGs by 2030 will require “bold, ambitious, accelerated, and transformative actions are needed in key areas, anchored in international solidarity and effective cooperation at all levels”.
The Summit is being convened by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and will be attended by heads of state from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Japan, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Qatar, Senegal, Mozambique, and many other nations, as well as Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, the President of the World Bank, and other diplomatic officials.
The Summit includes conversations with various leaders discussing topics such as “Mobilizing finance and investments and the means of implementation for SDG achievement”, where we should expect to see a push for more environmental, social, and governance (ESG) schemes. ESG investing is also sometimes referred to as sustainable investing, responsible investing, or socially responsible investing (SRI). Environmental, social, and governance standards give socially conscious investors an opportunity to screen which types of corporations they want to endorse. The practice has also become an increasingly popular way to promote the SDGs.
As part of the SDG Summit the UN is also launching several campaigns to garner public support for more financing and moral support for the SGDs and Agenda 2030. One such campaign is a trailer called “Halftime for the Global Goals“. The message of the trailer is summed up with one line: “We’re down at half time, but any match is won in the second half”. The goal of the short video is to inspire and motivate the viewer into supporting the push for the SDGs. The video ends with the hashtag #ImagineWinning. The Halftime Show theme will continue on Monday with musical performers and speakers marking the beginning of the SDG Summit.
The United Nations Fears the 2030 Agenda Is Failing
Preparation for the SDG Summit comes after UN Secretary-General Guterres revealed in April that progress to completion of the SDGs was failing, with only 12 percent of the SDGs on track to be completed.
Guterres said progress on 50 percent of the goals is “weak and insufficient”, while 30 percent of the SDGs have “stalled or gone into reverse”. He predicted that if the current trend holds only 30 percent of nations will accomplish SDG1, focused on poverty, by 2030.
“Unless we act now, the 2030 Agenda will become an epitaph for a world that might have been,” Guterres stated.
Secretary-General Guterres also discussed his so-called “SDG Stimulus”, a plea for the G20 nations to commit to a $500 billion annual stimulus to help complete the SDGs by 2030. Guterres first made this plea in February, stating, “We need to massively scale up affordable long-term financing by aligning all financing flows to the SDGs and improving the terms of lending of multilateral development banks.”
Guterres said the SDG Stimulus plan also includes five other recommendations, including calling on all UN Member States to “recommit to action to achieve the SDGs at national and international levels between now and 2030”. Guterres suggests doing this by “strengthening the social contract” and “reorienting their economies towards low-carbon, resilient pathways aligned with the Paris Agreement”.
At the recent G20 gathering in New Delhi, India, the G20 nations agreed to support the acceleration of funding for the SDGs. In the “G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration” they write:
“At the midway point to 2030, the global progress on SDGs is off-track with only 12 percent of the targets on track. During this Decade of Action, we will leverage the G20’s convening power and its collective resolve to fully and effectively implement the 2030 Agenda and accelerate progress toward the SDGs, in a timely manner, to shape the world we want to see for our future generations.”
The G20 leaders also made it perfectly clear they will continue to back the Agenda 2030. “We will provide full support to the United Nations 2023 SDG Summit, the United Nations Summit of the Future, and other relevant processes” they wrote in the declaration.
The Autonomous Development Goals as an Alternative to the SDGs
In the last few years an anti-Agenda 2030/SDGs/Great Reset movement has emerged around the world as regular people begin to question the purpose and goals of the top down push towards Agenda 2030. However, I believe that if we are to counter “The Great Reset” agenda we must counter the United Nations and World Economic Forum by offering alternatives to their plans, including Agenda 2030. I have helped launch movements like The Greater Reset to offer an alternative vision for 2030 and beyond, one that is driven by the people, from the bottom up.
I propose that the best parts of the UN SDGs be stripped from the top-down, authoritarian template employed by the UN and WEF. I also propose that a set of Autonomous Development Goals (ADGs) be outlined and adhered to on a voluntary basis by individuals, businesses, and civil society organizations that align with the ADG’s goals and philosophy.
The point is to propose a set of living goals, which can be updated and adapted with the times. Anyone who believes that the ADGs represent our best path forward to maintain liberty, privacy, and bodily autonomy could “sign on” or adopt them as their own. The goals would also aim to be truly inclusive of voices that are already completely ignored by the UN and WEF, including indigenous communities, working class people from all political backgrounds, and the youth. This could eventually lead to a public gathering of brilliant minds from around the world who want to contribute to the ADGs. As with the SDGs, those involved could set target dates for ensuring progress is made in support of the ADGs.
For too long, the UN has pretended to represent the diversity of our world while continuing to uphold colonizing structures that have wreaked havoc on the planet for generations. With a looming Technocratic State of digital bio-surveillance, it has never been more appropriate for the people to recognize the values they hold dear and set their own specific goals for the coming decade and beyond.
I propose the following ADGs:
Goal 1: Promote access to non-state-funded forms of education that emphasize voluntaryism, self-ownership, mutual aid, critical thinking, creativity, and self-directed learning.
Goal 2: Foster the creation of a network of homeschooling co-ops, unschooling pods, worldschooling advocates, and forest school proponents, whose services can be easily accessed by parents in need.
Goal 3: Create localized and decentralized food systems through community gardens and food forests, and connecting communities with local food producers.
This can be accomplished by making knowledge of permaculture and indigenous food systems more readily available to the masses.
Goal 4: Create pesticide and GMO-free zones where communities can practice agriculture without fear of contamination from genetically-engineered technology and toxins.
Goal 5: Promote digital privacy education and encryption tools. Encourage and support access to these tools.
Goal 6: Defund the corporations, banks, philanthropic foundations, and governments, which are the true causes of the destruction of the planet – its people, wildlife, and ecosystems. This could be achieved through mass boycott and divestment campaigns coordinated by grassroots organizations around the world.
Goal 7: Support and promote the use of alternative (digital and paper) currencies. The heart of our current predicament is economic enslavement in a system based on debt and the forced use of state-backed fiat money. Thus, every person should have access to the currency of his or her choice.
Goal 8: Protect the right of all people to access land. Protect the right to harvest rainwater, solar energy, and other resources that allow individuals to become self-sustaining.
Goal 9: Promote a new standard of optimal human health by fostering dialogue about practices and modalities that have been maligned or made illegal by governments. Encourage an honest debate on the benefits of a range of diets and lifestyles while respecting individual choices.
Goal 10: Build human settlements that foster empowerment, community, resiliency, and innovation. Create communities free of exposure to harmful environmental toxins, including, but not limited to, electromagnetic frequency radiation, GMOs, aerosols, pesticides, nanotechnology, etc.
The above goals represent the first spark in what I hope will become a roaring inferno of effort to envision and manifest a parallel world to the one being sold to us by the Predator Class. If enough courageous people take the time to develop these seeds into strong roots, we may yet have an opportunity to turn the tide of technocratic tyranny, which has most recently shown itself in the form of COVID-1984 and now in the form of Agenda 2030, SDGs, and The Great Reset.
]]>In the near future, there will be three types of places where people live in western society, particularly in the United States. Most will live in variations of the current major cities, packed into small geographic locations as these metropolises are converted into multiple districts that are self-contained. It won’t be very dissimilar from how it is today except that people in each district will be confined to their district. It will be their dystopian version of a “Smart City.”
A variation of the urban “Smart Cities” will be the mini-versions located near farms, mines, and other necessary societal components that cannot exist in metro areas. The rules for these “offsite” areas won’t be very different for the workers who live there. There will still be guards to make sure nobody leaves the plantation. It’ll be like a prison work program where certain people get to leave the city for a time to pick apples or mine lithium.
Those who are rich AND properly politically aligned with globalists will be allowed to live in new “Smart Cities.” We’re seeing a version of this being planned right now in Northern California as the super rich near the San Francisco Bay Area are trying to escape the hellhole they created by relocating to their new utopia. Many high-end suburban areas or small towns will be converted into smart cities for the elites as well. For many, it will be a step down in lifestyle but they’ll need to make “sacrifices” for the globalists’ greater good.
The third group of people will be the smallest. The remnant. Those who were able to avoid the oppression and circumvent the diktats will live in rural areas. This group will be truly self-sufficient. They will not require government for anything related to their survival. They will also be equipped to defend themselves against those who would try to take what they have.
It’s impossible for many to imagine such a scenario. But for the sake of suspending disbelief, let’s stipulate two likelihoods so we can understand the path to this dystopian future. First, the depopulation agenda is already playing out. Whether through war, a truly dangerous Plandemic, “vaccine” adverse reactions, false flag domestic terrorism, or a combination of things, the population of America and possible much of western society could be greatly diminished in the near future. This will make us much more manageable.
Second, the climate change cult is very likely to get their way. In many ways they already are as blue states are setting deadlines for the end of gas-powered cars, gas stoves, and anything driven by fossil fuels. I will continue to fight their agenda with everything I have and I know many of you will as well, but I fear they have too much money, political clout, and narrative control for us to defeat them. I pray that I’m wrong but I fear that I’m right.
This cult will drive most of the left to willfully submit to this new normal of “Smart Cities.” But what about those on the right? What about the freedom-loving patriots who will not submit to sacrifices for the sake of a theory in which we do not abide? To understand this, we should reread the evil words of Henry Kissinger, the godfather of modern globalism.
“Who controls the food supply controls the people. Who controls the energy can control whole continents. Who controls money can control the world.”
There’s a good chance nearly all of our readers are very aware of what’s currently happening with the food supply. The powers-that-be are changing it fundamentally, creeping their control mechanisms into place through regulations and sabotage. Those who try to avoid regulations will be quashed as an Amish farmer in Virginia is learning. Food processing plants are being “mysteriously” destroyed on a weekly basis. The push for lab-grown meat to replace real meat is hitting stride.
Before 2030, governments and powerful people like Bill Gates will be operating a public-private partnership that will have complete control of the food supply for the sake of climate change.
This is why our sponsor, Prepper All Naturals, is such an important partner for us. Their bags of beef cubes are shelf stable for two decades or longer. (The Liberty Daily benefits from purchases at our sponsors like Prepper All Naturals; use promo code “TLD15” for 15% off at checkout.)
“Smart Cities” will be able to control the people by only distributing to those who are properly compliant. That could mean having vaccine credentials. It could mean having a high enough social credit score to determine whether they get lab-grown “beef” this week or if they have to suffer through cricketburgers again. Kissinger was right about controlling the people through food, as it has been done by tyrannical governments for millennia. Even the most freedom-loving patriot will bow to tyranny before letting his or her family starve to death.
As for energy, this is obviously at the core of the climate change agenda. It’s why I expect an attack on the power grids in the very near future. The powers-that-be are having a harder time than they expected in getting people to drive electric vehicles. Meanwhile, wind and solar are failing miserably on multiple fronts. To achieve their 2030 goals, they’re going to have to get creative.
There are two types of people who will be able to avoid being controlled by government through energy. Those who are completely off-grid will obviously be fine. But for those of us who cannot go buy a self-sufficient homestead in Idaho, it’s time to start practicing our grid-free skills. That will require a future article that I will likely post at my Late Prepper Substack, but the short version is we need to change our lifestyles so we can survive using old school techniques. If the power, water, gas, and (GASP!) internet go out for an extended period of time, would you need government to bail you out? If so, then in the near future they will be able to control you.
Last but not least, they are going to drive as many people as possible to “Smart Cities” through money. This is the biggest concern about Central Bank Digital Currencies that far too few people are discussing. Most of the fuss has been about privacy and the government’s ability to confiscate funds, but the technology allows two very important powers. First, it can be given an expiry date. Second and more importantly, CBDCs can be directed for localization so that YOUR “money” can only be spent at designated stores within your “Smart City.”
This is why I’m a huge proponent of establishing localized networks for barter and other alternative commerce systems. I’ve talked to a few prominent patriots about it and there are efforts being made to create these types of networks. Pray they are successful. I’m not banking on it coming to fruition in time, which is why we’re trying to stockpile as much of the essentials as possible. As a “late prepper,” I’m finding it challenging to get everything we need while we still can. Then, there’s the issue of space. Strategies for preparing for CBDCs will require a longer article in the near future.
It’s no secret that I’m a huge proponent of precious metals. I believe in using the Christian company, Genesis Gold Group, for protecting retirement. But for those who want to have gold and silver bullion on hand in case of… whatever… I recommend Advisor Metals. Owner Ira Bershatsky discreetly sends metals to your home with a $2,500 minimum. Both companies are America First and do business the right way, which is unfortunately rare in the precious metals industry.
For the majority of us who aren’t stockpiling precious metals, we should stock up on things we’ll use. I know the first thing that comes to mind is toilet paper for some reason by I’m not a fan. Toilet paper is a convenience, not a necessity. I would rather stockpile things for use or barter that are essential.
It’s time to get ready. They’re coming for us. We fight the good fight today to try to stop the evil from winning but we get ready for things to come just in case they win. But through it all, we must never forget that God wins in the end. We’ll just have to suffer along the way.
Sound off about this on my Substack.

Known as Kinshasa, the program was designed to appeal to people like Blessing Kasasi, a 15-year-old “women’s and children’s rights activist” who was trained in Kinshasa alongside 30 other young people from a relay club who gathered back in June to learn about how to censor content.
“The objective was to build their capacities in the fight against disinformation, which is taking on worrying proportions on social networks,” the UN says about the program.
At the training, young people like Himlish Nketani Nsiala, a law student at the Catholic University of Congo (Université Catholique du Congo), were brainwashed into the art of presenting the “news” the way the UN wants it to be presented.
“There is no point in taking an image broadcast for just purposes, diverting it from its context and manipulating it in order to harm,” Nsiala is quoted as saying about the “fact checking” operation and what it aims to do.
(Related: While the world is distracted with endless bickering about “lab leaks,” the World Health Organization [WHO] is gearing up to become a global health dictatorship.)
UN “fact checkers” being taught how to better brand and market “attractive video content to fight disinformation on the Web”
Another module developed specifically by Giscard Mido, one of the two trainers in the Digital Marketing segment of the UN program, aims to teach children how to create propaganda videos promoting their “fact checking” efforts.
“How to create attractive video content to fight disinformation on the Web?” is the theme of Mido’s module, which further discusses how the telephone can be used to help reverse the trend of “fake news,” which the UN says “abounds on the web.”
“To this end, the participants were provided with the mechanisms for collecting, processing and disseminating verified news, in particular on the importance of cross-checking information and verifying them at the source,” the UN announced.
MONUSCO, which is the name of the “fact checking” work being done by the UN Mission in the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo), will provide child attendees with the “essential tools” they need to create video and other content, including by equipping their smartphones with editing software.
The Congolese population is the main target of MONUSCO’s efforts to fight the spread of “disinformation,” which the UN says “has already caused several damages, with their harmful consequences within the communities.”
By equipping young people with not just video editing but also video shooting and photojournalism skills, the UN through MONUSCO believes it will make great strides towards sanitizing the internet of all information that the UN and its backers deem to be “false.”
“These practices are used as a weapon of war to undermine MONUSCO’s peace efforts in the DRC,” said Prof. Guillaume Kingh-Farel, the other trainer involved with the program, who is focusing on how to take on social media networks.
Using special “fake news” detection techniques, the trainees involved with the program will be able to not only provide defense against fake news, but also offense against its viral spread online.
There are also efforts in play to push “truthful” information on social media networks by “simultaneously spreading objective and credible information” at the very same time that “fake news” starts to go viral.
“The relay club is a structure made up of young volunteer students who have understood the need to counter the virality of false information by disseminating good and true information to a wider audience,” the UN says.

Energy? Dirty.
Lower motorway speeds and driving ban in plan to tackle oil reliance. Here’s an extract from Daily Echo article
Lowering motorway speed limits and introducing driving bans on Sunday are ideas being suggested to cut Britain’s reliance on oil.
The ideas are part of a ten-point plan proposed by the International Energy Agency in a bid to reduce global oil demand by 2.7 million barrels per day.
Motorway speed limits would be reduced by 6 mph across the country under the proposals, while the plan also suggests a ban on driving in cities every Sunday.
This is horseshit! It has nothing to do with “reducing reliance on oil” and everything to do with the WEF and UN “sustainable development Agenda 2030.”
You know what’s going to happen? The existing stream of folks leaving countries implementing these policies will turn into a flood (more on this in a minute). With it will come capital controls, because the sociopaths driving this agenda will never see their own policies as the problem. No, it’s always those silly peasants who are the problem.
In case you’re wondering… that’s you.
Meat? Dirty.
Irish considering massive cattle culling. We are flabbergasted that killing 200,000 head of cattle is even a consideration…
Wasn’t Ireland “famous” for its potato famine? You would think that people would learn from history. I am coming to the view that little/nothing is learnt by studying history.
When will folks wake up to this delusional stuff going on? Perhaps when their living standards take a bat to the knees.
In any event, the Irish merely considering the elimination of 10% of their cattle herd highlights just how strong this climate narrative is. But it’s not solely an Irish issue. This cancer has spread to all of the West.
Upcoming Steak Prohibition.
German authorities have advised residents of Germany to consume no more than 10 grams of meat per day, as discussed in an article published by Eastern Herald
The black market trade in steaks is going to be absolutely loco. When they told us we’d eat the bugs, they didn’t mention the word “willingly.”
Here’s how it works in case you’ve not figured it out or if you need to explain things to friends who have perhaps thus far been gullible enough to buy into the entire “the world is going through a climate crisis” and life itself will end in [pick your suitable date]” hogwash.
The financial considerations that need to be made in order to meet idiotic green energy targets mean that all things that currently sustain life itself (energy and food being at the top of the list) become uneconomical and are shut down.
This is creating the greatest convexity I’ve ever seen in my career. In fact, it is the greatest I’ve ever seen relative to my readings of history going back hundreds of years. What is obvious is the sectors coming under attack. What is more challenging is determining from an investment standpoint the jurisdictions/countries which will ultimately repudiate this Malthusian genocidal eugenic agenda.
More lies regarding the “renewable energy transition”.
We need ‘+330 mines in 12 years’ to feed battery demand according to Stockhead.
Yeah, it ain’t gonna happen. Simple math, which a 10-year-old should be able to do, reveals that this entire charade is not only going to fall short. It is not going to come anywhere near close, which begs the question: what is it that is planned?
The answer is that the sociopaths at the UN and in Washington have no real intent for the peasants to continue with their current standard of living. They intend for us all to live in our 15-minute cities, eating bugs, immersed in the metaverse, and hooked up to a neverending feed of pharmaceuticals, which we’ll be forced to take, otherwise your UBI (universal basic income) gets cut off.
That is their plan, and it is currently under implementation. It is surprisingly successful. The pushback is rather mediocre, and that is more easily understood by the 4th Turning. By and large, the West is in a fourth turning. People are fat, well fed, lazy physically and intellectually. Unprepared to sacrifice their relative comforts, they will be largely sacrificed. The next generation will have to come out stronger. This may happen in some places. We can certainly hope so. What is also possible and not discussed much is that a long dark age could take hold. Certainly it’s happened before.
What I do know is that nothing happens in a vacuum… and we are seeing this. The weakening of the entire Western middle class is being met with both emigration of the awake and typically wealthy class to pockets which are benefitting from the collapse.

]]>Let’s be clear about one thing: The push towards all-electric transportation has nothing to do with ‘saving the planet’ from emissions hell and everything to do with controlling how we travel.
Electric vehicles are not the panacea for cleaning up the environment the tyrannical left-wing elite claim they are because they require literally raping the earth to obtain the ingredients (lithium, primarily) for the batteries — not to mention the fact that the lithium is mined by poor children of color who work like slaves for pennies a day.
In fact, the entire ‘green’ agenda is about control, not saving mother Earth, because it requires us to consume less and rely far more on being grouped into megacities where the power elite can enforce their will on us. Individualism is their enemy; self-reliance is undesirable to them.
Earlier this week, the corporate-led World Economic Forum (WEF) announced that world leaders would be convening later this year to “accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2030,” a plan that lacks accountability, The National Pulse reported.
Both the United Nations (UN) and the WEF seem to be dismayed by the lack of progress made towards their “Great Reset” ideology and the Agenda 2030 plan, which is a socialist successor to the failed “Millennium Development Goals,” the outlet reported.
The WEF, headed by German engineer Klaus Schwab (whose father was once involved with the Nazi Party), has acknowledged that previous attempts to implement their plans have been hindered by “unforeseen setbacks” such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the adverse effects of climate change, and the escalating costs of food and fuel worldwide due to the conflict in Ukraine.
Global leaders and their representatives have been summoned to “strategize” and accelerate the progress of what the WEF calls “arguably the greatest-ever human endeavor undertaken to create peaceful, just, equal, and sustainable societies.”
But again, do not let the flowery language fool you: They seek to bring the world under their control so that we live their visions of a ‘peaceful, just society’ — which will mean giving up on our democratic systems and turning over all power to them, the tiny minority of mega-wealthy elitists who fancy themselves as god-kings.
The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs has argued that “[p]ractical solutions that can accelerate progress on the [Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs)] will be urgently needed.”
The outlet notes further:
The seventeen SDGs comprising Agenda 2030 were first compiled in 2015 and were agreed upon by 191 UN Member State governments, though not necessarily their voting publics. These “goals” include laudable aspirations such as “ending poverty”, and eradicating world hunger, amongst more nefarious globalist goals in areas of gender ideology and hard-left socialist economics.
Since Davos 2o21, the WEF has publicly discussed how these goals can be used to achieve the ‘Great Reset,’ which would see ordinary people able to own nothing personally. The WEF claims this will increase happiness in the world.
The WEF is prioritizing “civic participation” as a means to advance its plans. They define this approach as addressing issues such as “economic inequality, gender disparities, corruption, and environmental degradation.” And how do the elites plan to ‘deal’ with these issues? The only way to do so is to take from people who have accumulated some degree of wealth and redistribute it to others who have done nothing to earn it — classic socialism. Add in the tyrannical aspect, and you get some hybrid form of communism and socialism.
“In the quest to build back better,” says the WEF, “civil society is proposing new ways of achieving the SDGs and creating a better post-pandemic world.”
Lofty goals, but people all over the world should get to decide these things for themselves, not have their futures ‘planned out’ by a handful of globalist busybodies who think they are masters of the universe.

]]>If the temperature goes up, is this good or bad? As Matt Ridley points out, on balance it’s very good: “Global warming is real. It is also – so far – mostly beneficial. This startling fact is kept from the public by a determined effort on the part of alarmists and their media allies who are determined to use the language of crisis and emergency. The goal of Net Zero emissions in the UK by 2050 is controversial enough as a policy because of the pain it is causing. But what if that pain is all to prevent something that is not doing net harm?
The biggest benefit of emissions is global greening, the increase year after year of green vegetation on the land surface of the planet. Forests grow more thickly, grasslands more richly and scrub more rapidly. This has been measured using satellites and on-the-ground recording of plant-growth rates. It is happening in all habitats, from tundra to rainforest. In the four decades since 1982, as Bjorn Lomborg points out, NASA data show that global greening has added 618,000 square kilometres of extra green leaves each year, equivalent to three Great Britains. You read that right: every year there’s more greenery on the planet to the extent of three Britains. I bet Greta Thunberg did not tell you that.
The cause of this greening? Although tree planting, natural reforestation, slightly longer growing seasons and a bit more rain all contribute, the big cause is something else. All studies agree that by far the largest contributor to global greening – responsible for roughly half the effect – is the extra carbon dioxide in the air. In 40 years, the proportion of the atmosphere that is CO2 has gone from 0.034 per cent to 0.041 per cent. That may seem a small change but, with more ‘food’ in the air, plants don’t need to lose as much water through their pores (‘stomata’) to acquire a given amount of carbon. So dry areas, like the Sahel region of Africa, are seeing some of the biggest improvements in greenery. Since this is one of the poorest places on the planet, it is good news that there is more food for people, goats and wildlife.
But because good news is no news, green pressure groups and environmental correspondents in the media prefer to ignore global greening. Astonishingly, it merited no mentions on the BBC’s recent Green Planet series, despite the name. Or, if it is mentioned, the media point to studies suggesting greening may soon cease. These studies are based on questionable models, not data (because data show the effect continuing at the same pace). On the very few occasions when the BBC has mentioned global greening it is always accompanied by a health warning in case any viewer might glimpse a silver lining to climate change – for example, ‘extra foliage helps slow climate change, but researchers warn this will be offset by rising temperatures’.
Another bit of good news is on deaths. We’re against them, right? A recent study shows that rising temperatures have resulted in half a million fewer deaths in Britain over the past two decades. That is because cold weather kills about ’20 times as many people as hot weather’, according to the study, which analyses ‘over 74million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries’. This is especially true in a temperate place like Britain, where summer days are rarely hot enough to kill. So global warming and the unrelated phenomenon of urban warming relative to rural areas, caused by the retention of heat by buildings plus energy use, are both preventing premature deaths on a huge scale.
Surely this will change in the future? Probably not. Britain would have to get much, much hotter for summer mortality to start exceeding winter deaths. Not even Greece manages that. And the statistics show that – as greenhouse-gas theory predicts – on the whole more warming is happening in cold places, in cold seasons and at cold times of day. So winter nighttime temperatures in the global north are rising much faster than summer daytime temperatures in the tropics.
Summer temperatures in the US are changing at half the rate of winter temperatures and daytimes are warming 20 per cent slower than nighttimes. A similar pattern is seen in most countries. Tropical nations are mostly experiencing very slow, almost undetectable daytime warming (outside cities), while Arctic nations are seeing quite rapid change, especially in winter and at night. Alarmists love to talk about polar amplification of average climate change, but they usually omit its inevitable flip side: that tropical temperatures (where most poor people live) are changing more slowly than the average.” See this.
Brain-dead Biden says that we should respond to this good news by destroying the American economy through the Green New Deal. According to Joel Kotkin, “‘The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all… ‘Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.’ So said Saikat Chakrabarti, former chief of staff for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and generally acknowledged author of the Green New Deal.
Sometimes it is wise to find out what ideas’ originators actually think. That is true for documents that have lit up our lives, such as the US Constitution, as well as for those that have darkened them, such as Mein Kampf.
This is true as well for the nascent Green New Deal, which President Joe Biden has essentially adopted as his own. Even if Congress fails to pass it entirely, Biden will seek to impose many of its goals through administrative diktats on gas-powered cars, land use, airplanes, any form of fossil fuel and nuclear power. Green New Dealers will also extend the welfare state, including to those who choose not to work.
As Chakrabarti indicated, the Green New Deal is not another environmental ameliorative, but something far more fundamentally transformative. The Biden administration’s embrace of it is somewhat surprising given that the likely economic fallout of this plan – particularly for the working class – made both Biden and House speaker Nancy Pelosi distance themselves from it during the fall campaign. But now the Green New Deal has resurfaced, having made the metamorphosis from a leftist fantasy into a serious political initiative.
Remarkably, despite this record of distortion, climate hysteria has become the abiding faith of the dominant media, universities and a large swath of the corporate establishment, particularly on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley. Some have even embraced the hardly capitalist notion of degrowth, an ideology which suggests, in essence, the Western working and middle classes must sacrifice comfort and aspiration to save the planet. (Often at the urging of the world’s wealthiest people, with their grand estates and private jets!)
Although most industrial unions backed Biden, the first clear victims of his embrace of the Green New Deal are obvious: people working in energy and fields that depend on reliable and affordable energy, such as oil workers, truck drivers, factory and logistics workers. For example, a move to ban fracking – which vice-president Kamala Harris has supported – would, according to a US Chamber of Commerce report, cost several million jobs. This will be made much worse by the green turn against nuclear power and natural gas, notes long-time environmentalist Ted Nordhaus.
Under the Green New Deal, displaced workers will be placed on the dole, or encouraged to take a job in the ‘green economy’. Yet these jobs, notes a recent Building Trades Union study, pay far worse, and are less likely to last long or be unionised, than those in the conventional energy industry. ‘It’s pie-in-the-sky bullshit about these green jobs being good middle-class jobs, because they’re not’, said Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America, in conversation with Politico. ‘I’m concerned about union members and union families being left behind… and I think they’ve already been left behind.’”
Why do they want to do these horrible things to us? It’s part of the same plan as the deadly Covid vaccines to kill a large part of the world’s population and control what remains. Gary Barnett offers a good summary of their agenda:
“As of late, and after a global assault on humanity that is unmatched in history, expansion of the ‘reset’ (takeover) of society is ramping up to epoch proportions. With this will come an onslaught of claimed monsters to frighten the masses into even more panic; the leading one before and after the ‘Covid’ hoax is complete, will likely remain the ridiculously named fraud called man-made ‘climate change.’ In fact, this has already begun, but will vastly escalate over the next few months and beyond in my opinion. At some point, ‘climate change’ will likely be disclosed as the core issue at hand so far as those wishing to gain total control of the masses are concerned, replacing in importance in effect, the other fraudulent tools of tyranny such as ‘virus pandemics,’ but not eliminating them as part of the conspiracy of depopulation and control.
This scenario has been planned and played out for decades, but is now getting into a very advanced stage in this plot to alter life as we have known it; relegating humanity to a two-tiered societal shift that consists of a controlling class sometimes referred to as the global ‘elites,’ and a slave class made up of the masses. This is meant to culminate with the master class of claimed elites imposing a technocratic hierarchy so extreme as to eliminate freedom of the individual entirely. To accomplish this, it is required that collectivism of the majority be the prevailing manner of ‘thought’ and politics, and that individuality be destroyed in favor of a communistic approach. So describes the postmodern mindset that has consumed the so-called intellectual left for some time, but unfortunately, it is not specific or unique to just the left today, but filters into the thinking of the ruling class of all political levels of thought. Therefore, the façade of right and left being political opposites is exposed as a lie, but this truth is generally avoided at all cost, and this attitude allows for radical totalitarian policies to flourish. Hence, critical thinking, truth, honesty, logic, and reason, disappear from view to be replaced by mass ignorance and indifference. Because of this great paradigm shift in societal reality, we are left to either fend off at all costs this assault by the state, or simply accept our slavery voluntarily.
In the midst of ‘Covid’ insanity, the agenda of ‘climate change’ is first and foremost on the minds of the globalists. In fact, this fake pandemic is being used (as purposely planned) to advance that agenda, and as stated by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum: ‘Climate action must stay top of the global agenda as we emerge from COVID-19.’ According to these monsters, ‘climate change’ is the real threat, and this ‘pandemic’ is ‘laying the groundwork for the efforts required to tackle climate change.’ In addition, the climate and ‘Covid-19’ are considered to be completely interconnected and a convergence of crises.
The United Nations is parroting this same line of propaganda in saying that in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, our challenges are interconnected and can only be addressed through reinvigorated multilateralism with the UN at the center of our efforts. They have pledged to strengthen global governance for the sake of present and coming generations. The UN’s Secretary General stated that: “The Covid-19 pandemic has served as a wake-up call and with the climate crisis now looming, the world is experiencing its biggest shared test since the Second world War.”
The fraudulent ‘virus pandemic’ has led the way to the future’s real and most major agenda being sought by the globalists, which is climate change legislation and mandated climate policy used to destroy the economic and monetary systems, to destroy farming and agriculture, to eliminate the individual, and to reshape the world into a complete technocratically controlled global society that will solidify the completion of the 2030 Agenda.
While this may seem like the end of the so-called crisis to some, it is only the beginning of hell on earth. The next few months will tell the tale, as every manner of tyranny possible will be attempted, and the citizens responses to this assault on humanity will be gauged in order to see just how far and how fast this takeover plot can be driven.”
I am an optimist. I believe the American people will awaken to the danger and oust these monsters before it’s too late. But it all depends on you.
