Davos e a conspiração da carta roubada


– A classe dominante mundial pretende uma Grande Reinicialização para tentar ultrapassar a crise do capitalismo
– Utiliza para isso o Covid-19, um pretexto tão bom como outro qualquer
– A conspiração está em pleno andamento, através dos quadros formados no WEF

O famoso conto de Edgar Allen Poe, A carta roubada (The Purloined Letter), é adequado para descrever a agenda de Klaus Schwab, fundador há cerca de 50 anos do que é hoje o influente Fórum Económico Mundial de Davos (WEF) – Escondido à vista de todos.

Schwab publicou em 2020 um livro intitulado Covid-19: A grande reinicialização (Covid-19: The Great Reset ), que apela aos líderes mundiais para usarem a "oportunidade" da pandemia da COVID-19 a fim de reorganizar fundamentalmente a economia global numa versão distópica de cima para baixo da agenda tecnocrática da ONU para 2030. Para aqueles dispostos a fazer investigação paciente, o WEF de Schwab revela um grau surpreendente da actual agenda globalista para um totalitarismo tecnocrático. Mais ainda, tem vindo a desenvolver quadros escolhidos a dedo para implementar esta agenda ao longo de três décadas, com uma seleccionada "escola de quadros" global para "futuros líderes globais". Com efeito, é o que poderíamos chamar a Conspiração Davos, agentes promovidos em todo o mundo para se infiltrarem nos círculos políticos de topo e pressionarem a sinistra agenda Davos Reset.

Uma das características mais espantosas da histeria do medo pandémico da COVID é o grau em que os políticos de todo o mundo têm seguido em fileiras cerradas, juntamente com os media globais e figuras-chave da saúde, a abraçar uma agenda sem precedentes de destruição económica e humana, em nome do combate a um vírus. Acontece que a maioria de todos os intervenientes-chave têm algo em comum. São licenciados escolhidos a dedo ou "ex-alunos" como ele lhes chama, da escola de quadros de Klaus Schwab em Davos, do seu programa anual chamado Jovens Líderes Globais e, antes de 2004, chamado Líderes Globais para o Amanhã.

Desde que o primeiro grupo de quadros da Davos foi seleccionado em 1993, mais de 1.400 "futuros líderes globais" foram treinados num processo altamente secreto que raramente é mencionado na biografia dos graduados da Davos. Com a paciência de uma aranha tecendo uma vasta teia, Klaus Schwab e os seus ricos apoiantes no Fórum Económico Mundial criaram a rede mais influente de actores políticos da história moderna, ou talvez de sempre.

Num vídeo de 2017 com David Gergen em Harvard, Schwab orgulha-se de, "penetramos nos gabinetes" com o quadro do Davos Young Global Leader. Schwab afirma: "Devo dizer então que menciono nomes como a Sra. Merkel...e assim por diante, todos eles foram Jovens Líderes Globais do Fórum Económico Mundial". Mas o que realmente nos orgulha agora com a jovem geração como o Primeiro Ministro Trudeau, Presidente da Argentina e assim por diante, é que penetramos nos gabinetes... É verdade na Argentina e é verdade em França agora..."

Grande reinicialização

A Grande Reinicialização, tal como explicada por Schwab no seu livro co-autorado de Junho de 2020 com o mesmo título, e elaborado na íntegra no sítio web do Fórum Económico Mundial, está à disposição de qualquer curioso disposto a descobrir. Apresenta um programa para reorganizar a economia global de cima para baixo, utilizando as perturbações da COVID para impulsionar, entre outras coisas, uma agenda verde de carbono zero, a eliminação da proteína de carne e da agricultura tradicional, a eliminação dos combustíveis fósseis, a contracção das viagens aéreas, a eliminação de papel-moeda (cash) por moedas digitais de bancos centrais e um sistema médico totalitário de vacinações obrigatórias.

Na cimeira virtual dos líderes mundiais de Davos de Junho de 2020, apropriadamente intitulada The Great Reset, Schwab declarou: "Todos os países, dos Estados Unidos à China, devem participar, e todas as indústrias, do petróleo e gás à tecnologia, devem ser transformadas. Em suma, precisamos de uma "Grande Reinicialização" do capitalismo... Há muitas razões para prosseguir uma Grande Reinicialização, mas a mais urgente é a COVID-19". A Grande Reinicialização, continua ele, exige que, "os governos implementem reformas há muito necessárias que promovam resultados mais equitativos". Dependendo do país, estas podem incluir mudanças nos impostos sobre a riqueza, a retirada dos subsídios aos combustíveis fósseis... A segunda componente de uma agenda de Grande Reinicialização asseguraria que os investimentos avançassem objectivos comuns, tais como a igualdade e a sustentabilidade".

O que Schwab não menciona é que a sua rede de "líderes globais" de Davos tem estado no centro do avanço da agenda draconiana da COVID, desde confinamentos desnecessários a vacinações forçadas até à máscara obrigatória. A pandemia tem sido a primeira fase necessária da Grande Reinicialização. Sem ela não seria possível falar de mudanças globais fundamentais.

Aqui a agenda de Schwab é a redistribuição global da riqueza para a criação da infame economia "sustentável" da Agenda 2030 das Nações Unidas: "Os EUA, a China e o Japão também têm planos ambiciosos de estímulo económico. Em vez de utilizar estes fundos... para preencher fendas no antigo sistema, deveríamos utilizá-los para criar um novo que seja mais resiliente, equitativo e sustentável a longo prazo. Isto significa, por exemplo, construir infraestruturas urbanas "verdes" e criar incentivos para que as indústrias melhorem o seu historial em termos de métricas ambientais, sociais e de governação (environmental, social, and governance, ESG)". Acrescenta, "A terceira e última prioridade de uma agenda de Grande Reinicialização é aproveitar as inovações da Quarta Revolução Industrial para apoiar o bem público, especialmente através da abordagem dos desafios sociais e da saúde".

Carta roubada

O conto de 1844 do autor americano Edgar Allen Poe, A carta roubada (The Purloined Letter), conta que uma carta roubada da rainha francesa foi utilizada para chantageá-la por um ministro sem escrúpulos. Quando a polícia parisiense faz uma busca meticulosa sem resultado na casa do suspeito ladrão, um amigo do inspector chefe consegue encontrar o documento roubado, "escondido à vista de todos".

Assim acontece com aquilo que é sem dúvida a mais descarada e criminosa conspiração dos tempos modernos, a Grande Reinicialização de Davos. Tudo está lá, aberto a qualquer pessoa com paciência para percorrer as páginas dos comunicados de imprensa e páginas web do WEF. É notável que os actores globais, o "quadro" de Davos cuidadosamente escolhido ao longo dos últimos trinta anos para ser preparado para posições de poder para implementar a agenda do Grande Reinicialização, são abertamente nomeados no sítio web de Davos, encontrados com uma pequena pesquisa paciente. Apareceram listas parciais nomeando um pequeno punhado dos "Jovens Líderes Globais" de Davos. Uma pesquisa mais exaustiva de cerca de 1400 nomes nas aulas anuais do quadro escolar desde 1992 revela uma espantosa e detalhada conspiração. O sítio web do WEF afirma que os líderes globais são "treinados para estarem alinhados com a missão do Fórum Económico Mundial", para "impulsionar a cooperação público-privada no interesse público global".

O que se segue é o resultado da revisão de cada classe de futuros líderes globais do FEM desde 1993.

O que é mais notável é que os principais actores ligados a Schwab estão envolvidos nas medidas decisivas que tornaram a COVID-19 "pandemia" no processo económica e fisicamente destrutivo que é. Os ex-alunos do WEF estão no meio de tudo o que se refere ao Covid.

Davos, Gates e vacinas mRNA

No centro da agenda COVID-19 está claramente o lançamento em "velocidade vertiginosa" (“warp speed”) de misturas experimentais não testadas de genes mRNA editados, mal chamadas de vacinas, por duas empresas farmacêuticas – a Pfizer (com a BioNTech da Alemanha) e a Moderna dos EUA.

Bill Gates (WEF 1993) e a sua Fundação Gates estão no centro do lançamento das injecções de genes mRNA editados, juntamente com Tony Fauci do NIAID dos EUA. Gates foi seleccionado por Schwab antes mesmo de ele ter criado a Fundação Bill e Melinda Gates, em 1993, para o primeiro grupo de quadros do WEF juntamente com Angela Merkel, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown e outros. Será que Schwab influenciou Gates a criar a fundação?

O dinheiro da Fundação Gates, centenas de milhões, comprou efectivamente o controlo da corrupta Organização Mundial de Saúde da ONU, segundo a denunciante da OMS, a epidemiologista suíça Astrid Stuckelberger, a qual numa entrevista recente declarou: "A OMS mudou desde que lá estive... Houve uma mudança em 2016... Foi especial: Organizações não-governamentais – tais como a GAVI, Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization, liderada por Bill Gates – juntaram-se à OMS em 2006 com um fundo. Desde então, a OMS evoluiu para um novo tipo de organização internacional. A GAVI ganhou cada vez mais influência, e imunidade total, mais do que os diplomatas na ONU".

A fundação de Gates, juntamente com o WEF de Schwab, criaram a GAVI global –The Vaccine Alliance em 2000. Outro infame ex-aluno da classe dos Líderes Globais do WEF Gates, José Manuel Barroso (WEF 1993), –Presidente da Comissão Europeia de 2004-2014, ex-chefe da Goldman Sachs International, membro do Comité Director da Bilderberg – foi nomeado CEO da aliança de vacinas GAVI financiada por Gates em Janeiro de 2021, quando foram lançadas as injecções mRNA. Barroso agora supervisiona os gastos globais com as vacinas do mRNA para Gates e a OMS.

Albert Bourla, director executivo da Pfizer, é um Contribuinte da Agenda do WEF. O seu vice-presidente da Pfizer, Vasudha Vats (WEF 2021), é um "líder global" recruta do WEF.

O outro principal fabricante de injecções mRNA é a Moderna, cujo CEO, Stéphane Bancel (WEF 2009) é outro ex-aluno de Davos. Logo no ano seguinte, 2010, Bancel foi seleccionado para ser CEO de uma nova empresa, Moderna, em Massachusetts. Em 2016, sem nenhum produto mRNA bem sucedido ainda aprovado, a Moderna da Bancel assinou um acordo-quadro global de projectos de saúde com a Fundação Bill & Melinda Gates para avançar com projectos de desenvolvimento baseados no mRNA para várias doenças infecciosas. No mesmo ano, a Bancel assinou um acordo-quadro de projecto global de saúde com Tony Fauci e o NIAID. Num discurso proferido em Janeiro de 2018 na Conferência do JP Morgan Healthcare, mais de um ano antes de o mundo ter ouvido falar da COVID-19 vinda de Wuhan China, Gates declarou: "Estamos a apoiar empresas como a CureVac e a Moderna nas abordagens mRNA para o desenvolvimento de vacinas e drogas...". Presciência?

Why Do NATO States Commit “Energy Hara Kiri”? Green Zero Carbon Madness. Industrial Collapse?




There is a great paradox in the increasingly aggressive US and NATO military stance towards Russia, and China, when measured against the clearly suicidal national Green Agenda economic policies of the USA as well as the EU NATO states. An astonishing transformation of the economies of the world’s most advanced industrial economies is underway and gaining momentum.

The heart of the transformation is energy, and the absurd demand for “zero carbon” energy by 2050 or before. To eliminate carbon from the energy industry is not at this time, or perhaps ever, possible. But the push for it will mean tearing apart the world’s most productive economies. Without a viable industrial energy base, NATO countries become a military joke. We cannot speak of “renewable” energy for solar, wind and battery storage. We must speak of Unreliable Energy. It is one of the most colossal scientific delusions in history.

On December 31 the new German coalition government shut down three of the remaining six nuclear power plants permanently. They did so at a point where natural gas in reserves were extremely low entering hard winter, and when any severe cold front could lead to power blackouts. Because of the German refusal to allow import of a second Russian gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2, Germany is facing a 500% increase in the spot price of electricity compared with January 2021.

EU Energy Crisis Preplanned
In 2011 when Chancellor Merkel declared an early end to nuclear power, her infamous Energiewende, to phase out nuclear and go to renewable sources, 17 nuclear plants reliably supplied 25% of all electric power to the country. Now the remaining 3 plants must close by end 2022. At the same time the Green Energy agenda of the government since 2016 has closed 15.8 GigaWatts of coal generation as of January 2022. To make up for the fact that solar and wind, despite glowing propaganda, do not fill the gap, Germany’s electric grid must import significant electricity from EU neighbors France and Czech Republic, ironically much of it from their nuclear plants. Germany today has the highest electricity cost of any industrial nation as a result of the Energiewende.

There is now a problem with the supply of nuclear electricity from France. In December EDF the French state nuclear agency announced a total of four reactors would shut for inspection and repairs following discovery of corrosion damage. President Macron facing April elections is trying to play the nuclear champ in the EU opposing Germany’s strong anti-nuclear position. But the nuclear bridge is vulnerable and France is unlikely to make any major new investment in nuclear, despite recent claims, with plans to shut down twelve reactors in the next few years, along with coal, leaving both France and Germany vulnerable to future energy shortages. Macron’s France 2030 program calls for investing a pitiful $1.2 billion in small plant nuclear technology.

But the nuclear issue is not the only fly in the EU energy soup. Every aspect of the current EU energy plan is designed to wreck a modern industrial economy, and the architects who generously fund green think tanks like the Potsdam Institute in Germany know it. To bring wind and solar, the only two serious options being implemented, to replace coal, gas and nuclear, is simply said, not possible.

Wind Mills and Madness of Crowds
For Germany, a country with less than optimal sunshine, wind is the leading alternative. One problem with wind as the winter of 2021 dramatically showed, is that it does not always blow, and unpredictably so. That means blackouts or reliable backup, which means coal or natural gas as nuclear is being forced out. Wind mills are misleadingly rated in terms of gross theoretical capacity when states like Germany want to boast of renewable progress.

In reality what counts is actual electricity produced over time or what is called capacity factor or load factor. For solar, capacity factor is typically only about 25%. The sun in northern Europe or North America doesn’t shine 24 hours a day. Nor are skies always cloudless. Similarly wind doesn’t always blow and is hardly reliable.

Germany boasts of 45% gross renewable energy but that hides the reality. Frauenhofer Institute in a 2021 study estimated Germany must install at least six to eight times present solar to reach 2045 100% carbon free goals, something the government refuses to estimate costs for, but private estimates are in the trillions.
The report says from the present gross 54 GW solar capacity as much as 544 GW by 2045 is needed. That would mean a land space of 3,568,000 acres or 1.4 million hectares, more than 16,000 square kilometers of solid solar panels across the country. Add major wind stations to that. It is a suicide recipe.

The fraud of wind and solar as a sensible carbon free option is beginning to be realized. This January 5, Alberta Canada where the government is furiously building wind and solar sites, a severe cold day with temperatures near 45 F minus, Alberta’s 13 grid-connected solar facilities, rated at 736 megawatts, were contributing 58 megawatts to the grid. The 26 wind farms, with a combined rated capacity of 2,269 megawatts, was feeding the grid 18 megawatts. The total from renewables was a piddly 76 megawatts out of a theoretical 3,005 megawatts of supposedly green, renewable energy. Texas during the severe snow of February 2021 had similar problems with solar and wind as did Germany. Also when it snows solar farms are worthless.

As well to reach zero carbon from renewable sources huge acreages of land must be paved with solar reflectors or dedicated to wind farms. By one estimate, the amount of land needed to accommodate the 46,480 solar PV plants envisioned for the US is 650,720 square miles, almost 20% of the US lower 48 territories. This is the areas of Texas, California, Arizona and Nevada combined. Alone in the US state of Virginia a new green law, the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) has created an enormous rise in solar project applications to date for 780 square miles of solar slabs so far. As David Wojick points out, that is about 500,000 acres of countryside, farmland or forests destroyed and paved over with some 500 separate projects blanketing much of rural Virginia that will need a staggering 160 million solar panels, mostly from China and all destined to become hundreds of tons of toxic waste.

Millions of Jobs?
The Biden administration and Renewables czar John Kerry have falsely claimed their Green Agenda or Build Back Better will mean millions of new jobs. They omit to say the jobs will be in China which produces far the most solar panels, a near monopoly after they destroyed the USA and EU competition a decade ago with cheap subsidized panels Made in China.

Similarly most of wind power is made in China by Chinese companies. Meanwhile China uses record volumes of coal and postpones its pledge for zero carbon a full decade after the EU and USA to 2060. They are not willing to jeopardize their industrial dominance to a climate theory based on fake data and lies that CO2 is about to destroy the planet. The German trade union federation DGB recently estimated that since 2011 that country had lost some 150,000 jobs in the renewable sector alone, mainly as China-made solar panels destroyed leading German solar companies. And Germany is the most green-crazy EU country. Because by definition the less energy-dense renewables of wind or solar drive basic electricity costs far higher, they kill more jobs in the overall economy than they ever add.

NATO Industrial Collapse
Because solar and wind are in reality far more costly than conventional hydrocarbon or nuclear electricity, they drive up overall cost of electric power to industry forcing many companies to close or move elsewhere. Only official statistical fraud hides this. Europe and North America will need huge volumes of steel and concrete to build the expected millions of solar panels or wind parks. That needs huge amounts of conventional coal or nuclear energy. How many E-car electric charging stations will be needed to home-charge 47 million German E-cars? How much more electric demand?

A significant Green Energy think tank in the US, RethinkX ,issued a propaganda study for renewables in 2021 titled Rethinking Energy 2020-2030: 100% Solar, Wind, and Batteries is Just the Beginning. Their answer to the problems of low capacity for wind and solar is to build 500% or even 1000% more than envisioned to make up for the low 25% capacity factor. They make the absurd claim, with no concrete proof that, “Our analysis shows that 100% clean electricity from the combination of solar, wind, and batteries (SWB) is both physically possible and economically affordable across the entire continental United States as well as the overwhelming majority of other populated regions of the world by 2030… this superabundance of clean energy output – which we call super power – will be available at near-zero marginal cost throughout much of the year.” That statement is presented without an iota of data or concrete scientific feasibility analysis, merely dogmatic assertion.

The late Canadian architect of the UN Agenda 21, Maurice Strong, a billionaire oil chum of David Rockefeller was Undersecretary of the United Nations and Secretary General of the June 1972 Stockholm Earth Day conference. He was also a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. He more than perhaps anyone else, is responsible for the de-industrialization agenda of the zero carbon “sustainable economy.”
At the UN Rio Earth Summit in 1992 he openly stated the blunt agenda of the radical eugenics advocates such as Gates and Schwab: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” That agenda is very much the Great Reset today.

War Now?
If the once-advanced, energy-intensive economies of NATO member countries in Europe and the USA continue on this suicidal journey, their ability to mount a convincing military defense or offense will become a mirage. Recently the corrupt German EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, declared that the high-tech German defense industry and its suppliers should not receive bank credit because they were not “green” or “sustainable” enough. Reportedly banks have already gotten the message. Along with oil and gas now defense production is targeted. Von der Leyen as German Defense Minister was widely blamed for allowing German defense to collapse to a catastrophic state.

In their now one-sided pursuit of their insane Agenda 2030 and Zero Carbon agenda, the Biden Administration and the EU are putting their industry on a deliberate road to destruction well before the end of this decade. Is this in turn driving the current NATO agenda towards Russia in Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia and now Kazakhstan? If the NATO Powers that Be know they will lack the basic in depth military industrial infrastructure in the near future, do they think it better to provoke a possible war with Russia now, to eliminate a potential resistor to their de-industrial agenda? Other than China, Russia holds the only potential to deal a devastating blow to NATO if provoked.

Mass Formation Psychosis or Madness of Crowds
In 1852 English historian Charles Mackay wrote a classic titled Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, giving a little-known insight to the mass hysteria behind the religious Great Crusades of the 12th Century, the Witch Mania or the Dutch Tulip Mania and numerous other popular delusions. It is relevant to understand the global irrational rush to economic and political suicide.

The same key actors behind the mass COVID vaccine mandates for an unproven experimental genetic-altering vaccine and the ensuing lockdowns globally, including Bill Gates and Pope Francis, are behind the Klaus Schwab World Economic Forum Great Reset and its UN Agenda 2030 green zero carbon madness, to get the world to accept unprecedented draconian economic measures.

This will require a docile and physically weak population to be railroaded, what Belgian psychology professor Dr. Mattias Desmet and Dr Robert Malone call Mass Formation Psychosis, a crowd psychosis, a kind of mass hypnosis that ignores reason.

It is clear that both the myth of Global Warming and the corona pandemic agenda require such a mass hypnosis—an “extraordinary popular delusion.”

Without the COVID fear hysteria we would never allow the Green Agenda to get so far that our very electric grids are on the verge of blackouts and our economies on verge of breakdown. The ultimate goal of both the COVID WHO pandemic and the Green Agenda is a march to Schwab’s dystopian Great Reset of the entire world economy to the benefit of a corporate dictatorship by a handful of global corporations like BlackRock or Google-Alphabet.

The “Great Zero Carbon” Conspiracy

First published on February 8, 2021

The globalist Davos World Economic Forum is proclaiming the necessity of reaching a worldwide goal of “net zero carbon” by 2050. This for most sounds far in the future and hence largely ignored. Yet transformations underway from Germany to the USA, to countless other economies, are setting the stage for creation of what in the 1970’s was called the New International Economic Order.

In reality it is a blueprint for a global technocratic totalitarian corporativism, one that promises huge unemployment, deindustrialization and economic collapse by design. Consider some background.

Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) is currently promoting his favorite theme, the Great Reset of the world economy. The key to it all is understanding what the globalists mean by Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

The EU is leading the race, with a bold plan to become the world’s first “carbon neutral” continent by 2050 and reduce its CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030.

In an August, 2020 post on his blog, self-appointed global vaccine czar Bill Gates wrote about the coming crisis in climate:

“As awful as this pandemic is, climate change could be worse… The relatively small decline in emissions this year makes one thing clear: We cannot get to zero emissions simply—or even mostly—by flying and driving less.”

With a virtual monopoly on mainstream media as well as social media, the Global Warming lobby has been able to lead much of the world into assuming that the best for mankind is to eliminate hydrocarbons including petroleum, natural gas, coal and even the “carbon free” nuclear electricity by 2050, that we hopefully might avoid a 1.5 to 2 degree Centigrade rise in average world temperature. There is only one problem with this. It’s cover for a diabolical ulterior agenda.

Origins of ‘Global Warming’

Many have forgotten the original scientific thesis put forward to justify a radical shift in our energy sources. It was not “climate change.” Earth climate is constantly changing, correlated to changes in the emission of solar flares or sunspot cycles affecting Earth climate.

Around the turn of the millennium as the previous solar-led warming cycle was no longer evident, Al Gore and others shifted the narrative in a linguistic sleight-of-hand to “Climate Change,” from Global Warming. Now the fear narrative has gotten so absurd that every freak weather event is treated as “climate crisis.” Every hurricane or winter storm is claimed as proof that the Climate Gods are punishing us sinful CO2 emitting humans.

But wait. The entire reason for the transition to alternative energy sources such as solar or wind, and abandoning carbon energy sources, is their claim that CO2 is a greenhouse gas that somehow goes up to the atmosphere where it forms a blanket that supposedly warms the Earth below—Global Warming. Greenhouse gas emissions according to the US Environmental Protection Agency come mostly from CO2. Hence the focus on “carbon footprints.”

What is almost never said is that CO2 cannot soar up into the atmosphere from car exhaust or coal plants or other manmade origins. Carbon dioxide is not carbon or soot. It is an invisible, odorless gas essential to plant photosynthesis and all life forms on earth, including us. CO2 has a molecular weight of just over 44 while air (mainly oxygen and nitrogen) has a molecular weight of only 29.

The specific gravity of CO2 is some 1.5 times greater than air. That would suggest that CO2 exhaust gases from vehicles or power plants do not rise into the atmosphere some 12 miles or more above Earth to form the feared greenhouse effect

To appreciate what criminal action is unfolding today around Gates, Schwab and advocates of an alleged “sustainable” world economy, we must go back to 1968 when David Rockefeller and friends created a movement around the idea that human consumption and population growth were the major world problem. Rockefeller, whose wealth was based on oil, created the neo-Malthusian Club of Rome at the Rockefeller villa in Bellagio, Italy. Their first project was to fund a junk study at MIT called Limits to Growth in 1972.

A key organizer of Rockefeller’s ‘zero growth’ agenda in the early 1970s was his longtime friend, a Canadian oilman named Maurice Strong, also a Club of Rome member. In 1971 Strong was named Undersecretary of the United Nations and Secretary General of the June 1972 Stockholm Earth Day conference. He was also a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Maurice Strong was a key early propagator of the scientifically unfounded theory that man-made emissions from transportation vehicles, coal plants and agriculture caused a dramatic and accelerating global temperature rise which threatens civilization, so-called Global Warming. He invented the elastic term “sustainable development.”

As chairman of the 1972 Earth Day UN Stockholm Conference, Strong promoted population reduction and lowering of living standards around the world to “save the environment.” Some years later the same Strong stated:

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

This is the agenda today known as the Great Reset or UN Agenda 2030. Strong went on to create the UN Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a political body which advances the unproven claim that manmade CO2 emissions were about to tip our world into irreversible ecological catastrophe.

Co-founder of the Club of Rome, Dr Alexander King, admitted the essential fraud of their environmental agenda some years later in his book, The First Global Revolution. He stated:

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill … All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself. 

King admitted that the “threat of global warming” was merely a ploy to justify an attack on “humanity itself.” This is now is being rolled out as the Great Reset and the Net Zero Carbon ruse.

Alternative Energy Disaster

In 2011, acting on the advice of Joachim Schnellnhuber, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Angela Merkel and the German government imposed a total ban on nuclear electricity by 2022, as part of a 2001 government strategy called the Energiewende or Energy Turn, to rely on solar and wind and other “renewables.” The aim was to make Germany the first industrial nation to be “carbon neutral.”

The strategy has been an economic catastrophe. Going from having one of the industrial world’s most stable low-cost and reliable electric generation grids, today Germany has become the world’s most expensive electric generator. According to the German energy industry association BDEW, at the latest by 2023 when the last nuclear plant closes, Germany will face electricity shortfalls.

At the same time coal, the largest source of electric power, is being phased out to reach Net Zero Carbon. Traditional energy-intensive industries such as steel, glass production, basic chemicals, paper and cement manufacturing, are facing soaring costs and shutdowns or offshoring and loss of millions of skilled jobs. The energy inefficient wind and solar, today costs some 7 to 9 times more than gas.

Germany has little sun compared with tropical countries, so wind is seen as the major source for green power. There is a huge input of concrete and aluminum needed to produce solar or wind farms. That needs cheap energy—gas or coal or nuclear—to produce. As that is phased out, cost becomes prohibitive, even with no added “carbon taxes.”

Germany already has some 30,000 wind turbines, more than anywhere else in the EU. The gigantic wind turbines have serious problems of noise or infrasound health hazards for residents nearby the huge structures and weather and bird damage. By 2025 an estimated 25% of existing German windmills will need replacement and waste disposal is a colossal problem. The companies are being sued as the citizens realize what a disaster they are. To reach targets by 2030 Deutsche Bank recently admitted the state will need to create an “eco dictatorship.”

At the same time the German push to end gasoline or diesel transport by 2035 in favor of e-vehicles is on course to destroy Germany’s largest and most profitable industry, the auto sector, and take down millions of jobs. The lithium-ion battery-powered vehicles have a total “carbon footprint” when the effects of mining lithium and producing all parts are included, that is worse than diesel autos.

And the amount of added electricity needed for a zero carbon Germany by 2050 would be far more than today, as millions of battery chargers will need grid electricity with reliable power. Now Germany and the EU begin to impose new “carbon taxes,” allegedly to finance the transition to zero carbon. The taxes will only make electric power and energy even more expensive, insuring the faster collapse of German industry.

Depopulation

According to those advancing the Zero Carbon agenda, it is just what they desire: the deindustrialization of the most advanced economies, a calculated decades-long strategy as Maurice Strong said, to bring about the collapse of industrialized civilizations.

To turn the present world industrial economy backward to a wood-burning, windmill turning dystopia where blackouts become the norm as now in California, is an essential part of a Great Reset transformation under the Agenda 2030: UN Global Compact for Sustainability.

Merkel climate adviser, Joachim Schnellnhuber, in 2015 presented the radical green agenda of Pope Francis, the encyclical letter, Laudato Si , as Francis’ appointee to the Pontifical Academy of Science. And he advised the EU on its green agenda. In a 2015 interview, Schnellnhuber declared that “science” has now determined that the maximum carrying capacity of a “sustainable” human population was some six billion fewer people:

“In a very cynical way, it’s a triumph for science because at last we have stabilized something –- namely the estimates for the carrying capacity of the planet, namely below 1 billion people.”

To do that the industrialized world must be dismantled. Christiana Figueres, a World Economic Forum Agenda Contributor and former executive secretary of the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, revealed the true aim of the UN climate agenda in a February 2015 Brussels press conference where she stated, “This is the first time in human history that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally changing the economic development model that has reigned since the Industrial Revolution.”

Figueres’ 2015 remarks are echoed today by French President Macron at the January 2021 World Economic Forum’s “Davos Agenda” where he claimed that “under the current circumstances, the capitalist model and open economy are no longer feasible.” Macron, a former Rothschild banker, claimed that the “only way to get out of this epidemic is to create an economy that is more focused on eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor.” Merkel, Macron, Gates, Schwab and friends will do so by bringing living standards in Germany and the OECD down to levels of Ethiopia or Sudan. This is their zero carbon dystopia. Severely limit air travel, car travel, people movement, closing “polluting” industry, all to reduce CO2.

From salt to GMOs - resistance is fertile

How can progressive movements rise above merely being right, to mount effective mass opposition to corporate rule and the dictatorship of the super-wealthy? By learning from Gandhi, writes Colin Todhunter, and devising new campaigns that engage with people's everyday concerns - like access to safe, wholesome, affordable, 'open source' food.

How can we broaden our movement to appeal to and involve the majority of people out there who do not seem to be aware, do not seem to care or are just too apathetic?

This has long been an issue for many a campaign group or activist.

There are many groups who have been offering a credible analysis of how the world functions. But many of these groups use certain language and theoretical constructs whereby they end up preaching to the converted and make little headway in galvanising mass protest, action or resistance to capitalism, especially among more affluent or politically unaware sections of the population.

Take Syria, for instance. What is happening on the ground there is too abstract for many, too far away or seemingly too unconnected from their everyday lives to have much meaning (except when the issue of immigration rears its head, whose solution, according to the mainstream media, politicians and pundits, does not involve bombing Syria less but more).

Similarly, Ukraine or Afghanistan is also often regarded as being too removed and any talk about empire or imperialism does not strike much of a chord with many people, who after a long day do not have the time, energy or inclination to sit down and do research into the machinations of empire, read Brookings Institute reports on how to deal with Iran or gem up on the Project for a New American Century.

The problem revolves around how to raise informed awareness (not spoon-fed mainstream media narratives) of these and other issues and how to make the public connect world events with their everyday lives.

Gandhiji's powerful message of peaceful resistance

Gandhi knew how to connect everyday concerns with wider issues. In 1930, he led a 'salt march' to the coast of Gujarat to symbolically collect salt on the shore. His message of resistance against the British Empire revolved around a simple everyday foodstuff.

His focus on salt was questioned by sections of the press and prominent figures on his side (even the British weren't much concerned about a march about salt), who felt that protest against British rule in India should for instance focus more directly on the heady issues of rights and democracy.

However, Gandhi knew that by concentrating on an item of daily use among ordinary Indians, such a campaign could resonate more with all classes of citizens than an abstract demand for greater political rights.

Even though salt was freely available to those living on the coast (by evaporation of sea water), Indians were forced to purchase it from the colonial government. The tax on salt represented 8.2% of the British Raj tax revenue. The issue of salt encapsulated the essence of colonial oppression at the time.

Explaining his choice, Gandhi said that next to air and water, salt is perhaps the greatest necessity of life. The prominent Congress statesman and future Governor-General of India, C. Rajagopalachari, understood what Gandhi was trying to achieve. He said:

Protest and action against widespread oppression, violence and exploitation has to be focussed. As in Gandhi's time, it is again food that is playing a central role in raising awareness and provoking resistance.

"Suppose, a people rise in revolt. They cannot attack the abstract constitution or lead an army against proclamations and statutes...Civil disobedience has to be directed against the salt tax or the land tax or some other particular point - not that that is our final end, but for the time being it is our aim, and we must shoot straight."

With the British imposing heavy taxes on salt and monopolising its production, Gandhi felt he could strike a chord with the masses by highlighting an issue that directly affected everyone in the country: access to and control over a daily essential. His march drew not only national but international attention to India's struggle for independence.

From salt to the entire food chain

Today, we find the issue of food in general playing a similar role in people's struggle for independence, but this time it is independence from the corporate tyranny of global agribusiness, and, for much of the world, independence from the US - which for a long time has been using food as a geopolitical tool to create food deficit areas, boost reliance on US exports and create dependence on oil-based chemical-intensive agriculture and ultimately the petro-dollar (see this and this and this).

Vandana Shiva draws a parallel between the seed sovereignty movement and Gandhi's civil disobedience 'salt march':

"Gandhi has started the independence movement with the salt satyagraha. Satyagraha means 'struggle for truth'. The salt satyagraha was a direct action of non-cooperation. When the British tried to create salt monopolies, he went to the beach in Dindi, picked up the salt and said, 'Nature has given us this for free, it was meant to sustain us, we will not allow it to become a monopoly to finance the Imperial Army ...

"Nature has gifted this rich biological diversity to us. We will not allow it to become the monopoly of a handful of corporations ... For us, not cooperating in the monopoly regimes of intellectual property rights and patents and biodiversity - saying 'no' to patents on life, and developing intellectual ideas of resistance - is very much a continuation of Gandhian satyagraha ...

"That is the satyagraha for the next millennium. It is what the ecology movement must engage in, not just in India, but in the United States as well."

At the heart of the debate: patented GM seeds

With genetically modified seeds now a major issue, the debate on food has in recent years meant that the issues of food sovereignty and food independence have been given a sharper focus.

What the debate on GM has done is create increased public awareness concerning how food is produced, what is in it, who is controlling it and for what purpose. At one end of the spectrum, we have groups that were already highly politically aware about food and the geopolitics of food and agriculture.

At the other end, however, there are people who may have not been too politically aware or attracted to politics or political issues but who are being drawn towards issues like the 'right to know' what is in their food and the need to label GM foodstuffs on supermarket shelves.

As a result, many are being politicised as they get drawn into the great food debate because, once they begin talking about the need to label, they soon begin to realise there are powerful state-corporate forces preventing this. By delving into the politics of labelling and GM, people will hopefully be drawn towards wider debates about Monsanto and agribusiness and in turn to how these entities are shaping the global system of food and agriculture.

The basic 'right to know' could and should logically lead people to consider issues pertaining to seed sovereignty and patenting of seeds, petro-chemical farming and the role of oil, the destruction of indigenous agriculture across the world and corrupt trade deals like TTIP.

Resistance is fertile

For too long, so many people in the West have acted like 'mob wives', displaying a willingness to remain blissfully ignorant while living well from the fruits of imperialism or knowing that something might be amiss but turning a blind eye because life (for them) is good.

There is however a growing recognition that their food is not only killing them as consumers but others too and that this is part of an agenda to capture the food supply by a powerful cartel that began many decades ago and is still being played out in throughout the globe from Africa and India to Ukraine and beyond.

Protest and action against widespread oppression, violence and exploitation has to be focussed. As in Gandhi's time, it is again food that is playing a central role in raising awareness and provoking resistance.

Genetically Manipulated Crops: The GMO Catastrophe in the USA. A Lesson for the World , por F. William Engdahl



Global Research, August 18, 2010

Recently the unelected potentates of the EU Commission in Brussels have sought to override what has repeatedly been shown to be the overwhelming opposition of the European Union population to the spread of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in EU agriculture. EU Commission President now has a Maltese accountant as health and enviromnent Commissioner to rubber stamp the adoption of GMO. The former EU Environment Commissioner from Greece was a ferocious GMO opponent. As well, the Chinese government has indicated it may approve a variety of GMO rice. Before things get too far along, they would do well to take a closer look at the world GMO test lab, the USA. There GMO crops are anything but beneficial. Just the opposite.

What is carefully kept out of the Monsanto and other agribusiness propaganda in promoting genetically manipulated crops as an alternative to conventional is the fact that in the entire world until the present, all GMO crops have been manipulated and patented for only two things—to be resistant or “tolerant” to the patented highly toxic herbicide glyphosate chemicals that Monsanto and the others force farmers to buy as condition for buying their patented GMO seeds. The second trait is GMO seeds that have been engineered genetically to resist specific insects. Contrary to public relations myths promoted by the agribusiness giants in their own self-interest, there exists not oné single GMO seed that provides a greater harvest yield than conventional, nor one that requires less toxic chemical herbicides. That is for the simple reason there is no profit to be made in such. 

Giant super-weeds plague

As prominent GMO opponent and biologist, Dr Mae-Wan Ho of the  Institute of Science in  London has noted, companies such as Monsanto build into their seeds
herbicide-tolerance (HT) due to glyphosate-insensitive form of the gene coding for the enzyme targeted by the herbicide. The enzyme is derived from soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Insect-resistance is due to one or more toxin genes derived from the soil bacterium Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis). The United States began large scale commercial planting of GMO plants, mainly soybeans and corn and cotton around 1997. By now, GM crops have taken over between 85 percent to 91 percent of the areas planted with the three major crops, soybean, corn and cotton in the US, on nearly 171 million acres.

The ecological time-bomb that came with the GMO according to Ho, is about to explode. Over several years of constant application of patented glyphosate herbicides such as Monsanto’s famous and highly Roundup, new herbicide-resistant “super-weeds” have evolved, nature’s response to man-made attempts to violate it. The super-weeds require significantly more not less herbicide to control.

ABC Television, a major US national network, made a recent documentary about the super-weeds under the rubric, “super weeds that can’t be killed.”[1]

They interviewed farmers and scientists across Arkansas who described fields overrun with giant pigweed plants that can withstand as much glyphosate as farmers are able to spray. They interviewed one farmer who spent almost €400000 in only three months in a failed attempt to kill the new super-weeds.

The new super-weeds are so robust that harvester combines are unable to harvest the fields and hand tools break trying to cut them down. At least 400000 hectares of soybean and cotton in Arkansas alone have become invested with this new mutant biological plague. Detailed data on other agricultural regions is not available but believed similar. The pro-GMO and pro-agribusiness US Department of Agriculture has been reported lying about the true state of US crop harvest partly to hide the grim reality and to prevent an explosive revolt against GMO in the world’s largest GMO market.

One variety of super-weed, palmer pigweed can grow up to 2.4 meters high, withstands severe heat and prolonged droughts, and produces thousands of seeds with a root system that drains nutrients away from crops. If left unchecked, it takes over an entire field in a year. Some farmers have been forced to abandon their land. To date palmer pigweed infestation in GMO crop regions has been identified in addition to Arkansas, also in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Mexico, Mississippi and most recently, Alabama and Missouri.

Weed scientists at the University of Georgia estimate that just two palmer pigweed plants in every 6 meter length of cotton row can reduce yield by at least 23 percent. A single weed plant can produce 450 000 seeds. [2]

Roundup toxic danger being covered-up

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the US and the world at large. Patented and sold by Monsanto since the 1970s under the trade name Roundup, it is a mandatory component of buying GMO seeds from Monsanto. Just go to your local garden store and ask for it and read the label carefully.  

As I detail in my book, Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, GMO crops and patented seeds were developed in the 1970’s with significant financial support from the pro-eugenics Rockefeller Foundation, by what were essentially chemical companies—Monsanto Chemicals, DuPont and Dow Chemicals. All three were involved in the scandal of the highly toxic Agent Orange used in Vietnam, as well as Dioxin in the 1970’s, and lied to cover up the true damage to its own employees as well as to civilian and military populations exposed.

A caverna no Árctico com as sementes do juízo final
Bill Gates, Rockefeller e os gigantes dos OGM conhecem algo que não sabemos

por F. William Engdahl, 3 de Dezembro de 2007


Uma coisa de que o fundador da Microsoft, Bill Gates, não pode ser acusado é de ser indolente. Aos 14 anos já fazia programação, aos 20, era ainda estudante em Harvard, fundou a Microsoft. Em 1995 aparecia na listagem da Forbes como o homem mais rico do mundo por ser o maior accionista da Microsoft, uma empresa que, mercê da sua direcção rígida, se constituiu num verdadeiro monopólio dos sistemas de software para computadores pessoais.
Em 2006, quando a maior parte das pessoas na situação dele pensa em retirar-se para uma tranquila ilha do Pacífico, Bill Gates decidiu dedicar as suas energias à sua Fundação Bill e Melinda Gates, a maior fundação privada 'transparente' do mundo, como ele diz, com uma doação de uns esmagadores 34,6 mil milhões de dólares e a imposição legal de gastar 1,5 mil milhões de dólares por ano em projectos filantrópicos a nível mundial a fim de manter o estatuto filantrópico para isenção de impostos. Em 2006, a oferta do seu amigo e sócio, o mega-investidor Warren Buffet, de acções no Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway no valor de uns 30 mil milhões de dólares, colocou a fundação de Gates em posição de poder gastar quase o mesmo valor de todo o orçamento anual da Organização Mundial de Saúde das Nações Unidas.
Por isso, quando Bill Gates decide utilizar a Fundação Gates para investir num projecto cerca de 30 mil milhões de dólares do seu dinheiro, vale a pena analisar esse projecto.
Não há nenhum outro projecto mais interessante de momento do que este muito estranho num dos cantos mais remotos do mundo, Svalbard. Bill Gates está a investir milhões num banco de sementes no Mar Barents perto do Oceano Árctico, a cerca de 1100 quilómetros do Pólo Norte. Svalbard é um árido pedaço de rocha reclamado pela Noruega e cedido em 1925 por um tratado internacional.
É nesta ilha esquecida por Deus, que Bill Gates está a investir dezenas dos seus milhões em conjunto com a Fundação Rockefeller, a Monsanto Corporation, a Fundação Syngenta e o governo da Noruega, entre outros, naquilo que é chamado de 'banco de sementes do fim do mundo'. Oficialmente o projecto chama-se a Caverna Global de Sementes Svalbard (Svalbard Global Seed Vault) na ilha norueguesa de Spitsbergen, no arquipélago de Svalbard.



O banco de sementes está a ser construído no interior de uma montanha na ilha de Spitsbergen perto da aldeia de Longyearbven. Está quase pronto para o 'negócio', de acordo com os comunicados. O banco vai ter portas duplas à prova de explosão com sensores de movimento, duas câmaras pressurizadas e paredes de betão reforçado a aço com um metro de espessura. Conterá mais de três milhões de variedades diferentes de sementes de todo o mundo, 'para que se possa conservar a variedade das espécies para o futuro', segundo o governo norueguês. As sementes vão ser embaladas de forma especial para protecção contra a humidade. Não haverá pessoal a tempo inteiro, mas a relativa inacessibilidade da caverna facilitará a fiscalização de qualquer possível actividade humana.
Falha-nos alguma coisa? Os comunicados de imprensa afirmaram, 'para que se possa conservar a variedade das espécies para o futuro'. Que futuro é esse que os patrocinadores do banco de sementes prevêem poderá vir a ameaçar a disponibilidade global das sementes actuais, quando a maior parte delas já está bem protegida em bancos de sementes existentes em todo o mundo?
Sempre que Bill Gates, a Fundação Rockefeller, a Monsanto e a Syngenta se juntam num projecto comum, vale a pena escavar um pouco mais por detrás das rochas de Spitsbergen. Se o fizermos vamos encontrar coisas fascinantes.
O primeiro ponto digno de nota é saber quem é que patrocina a caverna de sementes do fim do mundo. Aqui, em conjunto com os noruegueses, estão, conforme já dito, a Fundação Bill & Melinda Gates; o gigante americano da agrobusiness DuPont/Pioneer Hi-Bred, um dos maiores proprietários mundiais de patentes de sementes de organismos geneticamente modificados (OGM) e de agroquímicos afins; a Syngenta, a importante companhia de sementes OGM e agroquímicos, com sede na Suiça, através da Fundação Syngenta; a Fundação Rockefeller, um grupo privado que criou a revolução genética com mais de 100 milhões de dólares em sementes desde os anos 70; o CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research)a rede global criada pela Fundação Rockefeller para promover o seu ideal de pureza genética através da alteração da agricultura.
