The World Economic Forum: A Farcical Illusion For Fossil Fuel Profits

Posted by M. C. on September 26, 2023

The International Council For Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) is affectionately nicknamed, Local Governments For Sustainability.   They are an initiative of the World Economic Forum Agenda 2030 with a goal of building 15 minute resilient cities. Based out of Bonn, Germany, they have 2500 city mayors across the globe that have become members, pay membership dues, and vow to uphold the goals.   They state that their member cities are stakeholders. Their current President is the mayor of Des Moines Iowa, Frank Cownie.

There is no conservation sustainable goal!   There is only oil and gas, and hedge funds. The movement of money from The People to war in Ukraine, to NGO’s, to trafficking.   These are their GOALS.

In the end it is about Eugenics and genocide while hoarding assets.

The World Economic Forum: A Farcical Illusion For Fossil Fuel Profits

The International Council For Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) is affectionately nicknamed, Local Governments For Sustainability.   They are an initiative of the World Economic Forum Agenda 2030 with a goal of building 15 minute resilient cities. Based out of Bonn, Germany, they have 2500 city mayors across the globe that have become members, pay membership dues, and vow to uphold the goals.   They state that their member cities are stakeholders. Their current President is the mayor of Des Moines Iowa, Frank Cownie.

Conceived by Jeb Brugmann, from Freiberg, Germany, Brugmann received his masters from Harvard in an amazing – one year.  ICLEI’s earliest slogan was, ‘For The Common Good’.   Partners include Google, Woodwell Climate Research Center, Undisclosed, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.   In collaboration with Anthony Blinken, 24 cities across the Americas were chosen to participate in the Cities Forward Program within the ICLEI,  including; Denver, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Coral Springs, Hawaii County, Dallas, Dubuque, Austin, Evanston, Hoboken, Chattanooga, and Stockton.

The Cities Forward Program board consists of a number of mayors, but one in particular is worth mentioning; Kelly Takaya King, Former Council Member, Maui County, HI.    As in the now destitute Maui central.

Partnering with Secretary of State Blinken in this initiative is The Institute of Americas.   One particular advisory member to The Institute – is a Director at Pfizer, Dr. Samuel Dychter.    AN ODD COUPLE TO BE SURE.  Their partners include: Chevron, Exxon, Shell, Sempra Energy, Pan American Energy, Orel Energy, Interenergy, Pluspetrol, and others.   In other words, the fossil fuel industry is partnering to end all fossil fuels? And the Institute is led by Pfizer and hedge funds.

Orel Energy is a holding company with holdings in just about everything with one very small notation of solar amidst fertility, healthcare, quantums, AI, gaming, crypto, food tech, etc….   Not unlike Blackrock, which owns considerable shares in nastypants – fossil fuels.   Pluspetrol is the leading private oil and gas company in Latin America – operating in 7 countries…

You get the gist.   The ICLEI is a bait & switch operation that has absolutely nothing to do with sustainability – and everything to do with fossil fuels. 

Funding is public, private and government in the form of USAID.

The concept of the 15 minute city is a communist/socialist construct wherein you essentially become a prisoner.   Leaving the city will require permission and a mode of transportation. Your work will be determined/dictated by Stakeholder Council members, and your life will become a hodge podge of pre-selected spouses, pre-defined food and caloric intake, and 3 changes of clothing – rented, of course.

A “Trick Question” Police Use To Get Consent To Search

Posted by M. C. on September 26, 2023

Say “No” then STOP TALKING.

All police questions are trick questions. “Do you know how fast you were going?” “No” means you were not paying attention and not in control of your vehicle. “Yes” means you admit knowingly violating the law. Win/win for them. Epic fail for you.

As the US Military Goes Woke, China Could Surpass It Sooner Than Expected…

Posted by M. C. on September 26, 2023

It should be no surprise that fewer people want to participate in this Neo-Marxist nonsense while potentially taking orders from a man pretending to be a woman, subjecting themselves to the latest vaccine mandate, all while possibly dying, losing a limb, or getting PTSD from foreign wars that have nothing to do with where they come from.

The US Air Force has even held recurring drag shows.

As the US Military Goes Woke, China Could Surpass It Sooner Than Expected…

by Nick Giambruno

US Military Cultural Shift

Did you know the US Army missed its recent recruiting goal by 25% or 60,000 new soldiers?

It’s the worst recruiting crisis for the Pentagon since the end of the draft in 1973.

Even families with military backgrounds, typically the source of most recruits, are becoming less inclined to endorse military life.

Polls have shown an overly politicized military leadership and woke training programs and policies as the main reason for the steep drop.

For instance, critical race theory has embedded itself in the US military.

This includes spreading racial narratives that erode unit cohesion, classes on anti-racism, training against so-called radicalization, barring white service members from specific diversity training sessions, and the deliberate silencing of opposing viewpoints, among other policies.

West Point has introduced a minor in “Diversity and Inclusion,” while the Naval Academy provides courses that focus on themes related to “critical race theory” and “intersectionality.”

The US Air Force has even held recurring drag shows.

As part of this year’s “Pride” celebration, the Department of Defense trumpeted the story of a transgender soldier on social media.

These are just a tiny—but illustrative—set of examples of how the US military has embraced woke values.

The Slavery Contract

Posted by M. C. on September 26, 2023

In fact, all contract law is based on the principle that a contract is created that two or more parties agree to. And, with the passage of further laws, the contract would be updated.

However, if I were to ask you to show me a copy of your current contract with your government, I’m guessing that not only could you not produce one, but that it never occurred to you that you should expect one.

The Slavery Contract

by Jeff Thomas

The Slavery Contract

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”  –  Benjamin Franklin

It’s no secret that governments tend to be fond of passing laws that obligate their citizenries to the government. In fact, most countries operate a system of direct taxation, which, in itself, allows a government to enact a host of laws obligating the individual to the government, complete with significant penalties for failure to comply.

And, of course, governments, when deciding what sort of general behaviour should be tolerated by its citizenry, tend to legislate less for recompense to those whom a citizen may have wronged and more for recompense to the government itself, even if it has not been wronged in the slightest.

Generally speaking, the larger the country, and the older the country, the more extensive the laws.

Of course, in a country that claims to be a democracy, the idea is supposed to be that the will of the people is followed by its elected representatives, which suggests that the people actually have a say in how they are governed – that their government may only impose such laws as the majority agree on.

Well, there’s nothing unusual in that concept. In fact, all contract law is based on the principle that a contract is created that two or more parties agree to. And, with the passage of further laws, the contract would be updated.

However, if I were to ask you to show me a copy of your current contract with your government, I’m guessing that not only could you not produce one, but that it never occurred to you that you should expect one.

That being the case, the only way that we could cobble together a contract would be to list a set of general principles under which you are presently governed. We can use US Law as an example, but much the same laws are common in many other countries.

For the sake of convenience, we shall use the terms “Servant” and “Master” to describe you and your government.

  1. The Servant may not leave the Master’s property without permission.

In order to travel outside the US, you are required to present your government-issued, identifying document for approval for you to leave, even briefly. The decision as to whether you may leave is unilaterally for your government to decide.

  1. The Servant may not receive income of any kind without disclosure to the Master.

US Announces $2 Billion Loan For Poland To Spend On Military

Posted by M. C. on September 26, 2023

“The State Department said the US would also provide $60 million in FMF funds to cover the cost of the loan.” Say What? The real cost is unknown as US taxpayers will never that money, and likely much more to follow, again.

“Poland…spends more on its military than most European NATO members“

Say What? So why the payoff…err…”loan”?

The Biden administration on Monday announced a $2 billion loan for Poland that will go toward modernizing Warsaw’s military.

“Today, the United States is proud to announce the signing of a milestone $2 billion Foreign Military Financing (FMF) direct loan agreement to support Poland’s defense modernization,” the State Department said in a press release.

The State Department said the US would also provide $60 million in FMF funds to cover the cost of the loan. The press release described Warsaw as a “stalwart US ally” as Poland has become a major hub for arms shipments to Ukraine and spends more on its military than most European NATO members.

Temperature Change

Posted by M. C. on September 25, 2023

The lefties in the 1970s claimed global cooling would do us all in and it was the fault of capitalism. Then, after there were a few hot years, the liberals in the 1990s claimed global warming would be the end of us all and it was the fault of, guess what, yes, the free enterprise system.

https://substack.com/inbox/post/137354911

A reader of mine, whose name shall remain anonymous, has attributed to me a stance this is not mine. To the best of my knowledge I never said, let alone wrote, anything to the effect that a small increase of temperature every year would not have dire consequences, eventually. That is the viewpoint he attributes to me. I never made any such claim, to the best of my memory, in any public talk or debate; certainly, I never published anything supporting anything like that. Rather, here are my views on temperature change.

The lefties in the 1970s claimed global cooling would do us all in and it was the fault of capitalism. Then, after there were a few hot years, the liberals in the 1990s claimed global warming would be the end of us all and it was the fault of, guess what, yes, the free enterprise system. Then there were a few cool years and the “progressives” in the 2010s claimed temperature change would have dire consequences and it was the fault of the evil private property and profits-based system. The latter of course is tautologous in that no state of affairs of the weather could refute this claim.

Clever pinkos. Note how they continually change how they want us to refer to them. You would adopt this policy, too, gentle reader, if you were as mistaken as they are in all such matters and wanted to shield yourself from criticism. “Hey, that’s not our view!” they might say. “It was those other guys.”

Note, also, that weathermen can hardly predict their way out of a paper bag — for a few days hence, let alone a week or more. You have to take pretty much everything they say with a grain of salt. Ditto for meteorologists, who predict weather for decades hence, even centuries.

AOC Wants To Sell Her Tesla For Union-Made EV

Posted by M. C. on September 25, 2023

AOC’s move is about all optics as UAW strikes intensify and Democrats continue their crusade against billionaire Elon Musk.

According to Cars.com, the most American-made vehicles are the Model Y, Model 3, Model X, and Model S – all produced by Tesla. 

Occasional-Cortex strikes again. Someone should tell her this new EV will cost a lot more after the strike. Then again, it would provide a handy excuse to blame capitalism.

by Tyler Durden

To remain relevant this week as President Biden heads to the picket line to support United Auto Workers, ultra-liberal New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday that she intends to trade her non-union-made Tesla for a union-backed Ford, General Motors, or Stellantis electric vehicle. 

When asked about her non-union-made Model 3 purchase during the pandemic, AOC said she’s “looking into trading in our car now.” She added, “So we’re looking into it, and hopefully we will soon.”

The Lockean Delusion

Posted by M. C. on September 25, 2023

The state generally does not cede power back to the people. The influx of the power-hungry into lofty positions prevents that. Continuous political battle between passionate ideological factions wastes the people’s time and energy, impoverishes them, and gives the state opportunities to usurp even more power.

https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/the-lockean-delusion/

john locke

John Locke known as the Father of Liberalism, was an English philosopher and physician. Locke’s theoriesillustration, drawing, sketch, engrawed were usually about identity and the self. Locke thought that we are born without thoughts, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience.

The classical liberal revolution, starting in the 1600s and continuing through the 1700s, created a new ideal for government. Instead of hoping for just rulers who limited the use of their sovereign power, thinkers like Algernon Sidney, John Locke, and many of the American Founding Fathers aimed at a different goal: government derived from the idea of a sovereign people and carefully established to serve their interests. Many of these thinkers saw government as a necessary evil: a coercive force with just enough power to deal with criminals, enforce contracts, and defend the people from foreign attack.

The American founders envisioned a federal government strictly limited by powers enumerated in a written constitution, held in check by the more powerful (yet still limited by written constitutions) states and the people. These states created the federal government to ensure free trade across state lines and military cooperation against other encroaching governments. At least, that was what they told the people at the time.

A government with such limited powers can serve diverse peoples because it legislates on few issues, and no issue it touches presents significant disagreement. This was the Lockean ideal.

However, the incentive for any coercive state is to grow its power. The ways it does so are numerous, ranging from the simple incentive for power-hungry individuals to seek power and abuse it to whatever limit they can get away with, to the tendency for the words in any written constitution to be reinterpreted, redefined, and even ignored as time goes on. When a state decides its own limits, it will expand them whenever it can. As its power grows, special interest groups clamor for legislation providing them rents or giving them control over various issues. The body of laws grows, and self-contradictions become rampant, allowing judges to reach any desired conclusion by selective interpretation.

How an FBI Informant Created One of Largest Nazi Groups in U.S. History

Posted by M. C. on September 25, 2023

“The FBI likes to play games no matter what side of this you’re on. They actually came to me and told me they could ‘supplement my income,’ offering me—they didn’t specify what exactly they meant or or how much, but they said they’d supplement my income,” he said.

“I told them I don’t want anything to do with them and to talk to my lawyers, so they did—they talked to my Arizona lawyer at the time,” he said, adding, “I would have personally told them to f*ck off and keep their money, but my lawyer’s like, ‘Let me tell them. I’ll say it a little bit nicer for you.’”

An FBI informant cofounded one of the largest and oldest neo-Nazi organizations in U.S. history: the National Socialist Movement, a group connected to numerous crimes and violent events, including the deadly 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally, according to previously unpublicized records reviewed by Headline USA.

The documents—a trove of FBI memos, affidavits and court records that this publication has dubbed the “Fed Files”—further indicate that the NSM allegedly had informants in prominent positions throughout much of its nearly 50-year history.

Once known as the “Hollywood Nazis” for its flamboyant demonstrations and crude propaganda, the NSM has also been accused of being co-opted by the FBI in a lawsuit filed by a former member who is now in prison.

Multiple current and former NSM members denied any affiliation with the FBI or law enforcement.

The FBI declined to comment for this story.

NSM’s Founding

The NSM was founded in 1974 by Cliff Herrington and Robert Brannen, both of whom were chief lieutenants of prominent American fascist George Lincoln Rockwell—the founder of the original American Nazi Party in 1959.

By 1976, there was growing suspicion in the Nazi movement that Brannen was working with the FBI.

In fact, the NSM’s own publication, the National Socialist, released an article in April 1976, denying accusations from a rival group—the National Socialist White Peoples Party, or NSWPP—that Brannen was an informant. The National Socialist article called the accusations a “reckless and irresponsible smear attack on Comrade Brennan.”

But the NSWPP was right about Brannen.

Commenting on that National Socialist article several months later, a May 1976 FBI memo warned that Brannen’s cover might have been blown.

The redacted memo doesn’t show the informant’s name, but it clearly identifies Brannen by referencing the National Socialist article and the accusations floating around him at the time.

“Informant’s photograph and description appeared in the February 1976, NSWPP publication and he was named an FBI informant,” the FBI memo said.

“Informant’s group, the NSM, has publicized a rebuttal, and the Cincinnati Office is taking special precaution to ensure this informant can be operated successfully without jeopardizing his personal safety,” the memo said.

Despite the accusations against Brannen, he continued to lead the NSM undaunted for almost another decade until he suffered several strokes in 1983.
