Ecoterrorists: Climate Change Activists Disrupt Dairy Supply Across UK by Disabling all Milk Trucks at Processing Plants (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft

Published September 10, 2022 at 2:30pm




Animal Rebellion, a group of animal and climate activists, has been causing major disruption to a number of dairy distribution facilities across the UK. This has included blocking and occupying sites as well as damaging milk trucks.



The activists had written to the office of the prime minister in August, threatening disruptive action in September if no progress was made, according to the Guardian.



The organization is advocating for a switch to plant-based alternatives to milk and dairy products as a means of combating climate change.



Twitter user Ian Miles Cheong posted a video of protesters drilling a tire of semi-trucks.


“Heroes or zeroes? These climate change activists are disrupting milk processing and distribution plants across the UK by disabling all the vehicles. This was their 7th hit—over 50 trucks disabled,” Cheong tweeted.



“Dozens of them have been arrested but there are hundreds of them and they do this whenever they’re released. They should be locked up for life for being economic terrorists,” he added.



Watch the video below:

Another video:

Because of their actions, there have been widespread shortages of milk throughout the UK.



A representative for the Animal Rebellion informed Daily Mail that there had been reports of a milk scarcity in the north London area.



According to the protesters, the lack of fresh milk in north London was caused by their actions against Arla’s depot in Hatfield.



“It’s Day 5 and Animal Rebellion has disrupted ANOTHER milk processing and distribution center. Arla Hatfield is the 7th site disrupted,” Animal Rebellion announced.



“We’re extremely disappointed that protesters have caused criminal damage to some of our vehicles at our Hatfield site,” a spokesperson for Arla said in a statement.


“All protesters have been removed from site by local police, however due to the damage caused some deliveries will be slightly delayed.”

In light of the Queen’s passing, the activists temporarily stopped their plans.



“We paused our non-violent campaign out of respect for the British people following the news of Queen Elizabeth’s death, but the disruption we caused is still being felt across the dairy supply chain,” Dan Kidby, co-founder of Animal Rebellion said.

“We fully stand by our actions and are demanding Government action to transition to a plant-based food system which is the key solution to the climate crisis.”



Meanwhile in the US, several major fires have erupted at food industry facilities and plants over the past six months. All of the fires have been officially listed as accidental or inconclusive.

U.N. Sees Climate Disasters Everywhere: Blames ‘Fossil Fuel Addiction’ for Looming Catastrophe
SIMON KENT
13 Sep 2022

The world must repent from its “fossil fuel addiction” and turn to renewable sources to scourge the earth of climate disasters, the United Nations warned in a report Tuesday.



With weather disasters costing $200 million a day and irreversible climate catastrophe looming, the world is “heading in the wrong direction,” the report further outlines, AP reports.



U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cited the floods in Pakistan, heat waves in Europe, droughts in places such as China, the Horn of Africa, and the United States – and pointed at fossil fuels as the chief culprit for climate depredation.



“There is nothing natural about the new scale of these disasters. They are the price of humanity’s fossil fuel addiction,” he warned. “This year’s United in Science report shows climate impacts heading into uncharted territories of destruction.”



“Yet each year we double-down on this fossil fuel addiction, even as the symptoms get rapidly worse,” the veteran Portuguese Socialist added.



The report comes barely 24-hours after the globalist organization warned Europe against any return to fossil fuels during the current global energy crisis.

“There is no room for backtracking in the face of the ongoing climate crisis,” deputy U.N. rights chief Nada Al Nashif told the United Nations Human Rights Council.



She claimed the devastating floods affecting more than 33 million people in Pakistan are an example of what will happen to the world’s climate if there is a massed return to fossil fuels instead of seeking alternatives.



“How many more tragedies of this sort do we need before the urgency of the moment jolts us into action?” she pleaded.



Even as the U.N. looks towards Europe and scolds any potential return to fossil fuel as a power source, elsewhere nothing has changed.

As Breitbart News reported, a joint paper released in January last year by the U.S.-based Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) found China built over three times as much coal-fired electrical power capacity in 2020 as the rest of the world combined.



China’s runaway expansion of coal-fired power is not expected to end anytime soon – U.N. demands or not.

Freeze for Global Agenda: U.N. Demands European Nations Do Not Return to Fossil Fuels over Energy Crisis


SIMON KENT
12 Sep 2022

The world is grappling with the worst energy crisis in generations however the U.N. has warned Europe a return to fossil fuels in response to soaring prices and winter shortages must not be considered under any circumstances.



Russia has reduced supplies of gas to Europe since its invasion of Ukraine, sending fuel prices soaring, while supply chain issues in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic have also hit deliveries.



Despite those travails, “There is no room for backtracking in the face of the ongoing climate crisis,” deputy U.N. rights chief Nada Al Nashif told the United Nations Human Rights Council.



She claimed the devastating floods affecting more than 33 million people in Pakistan are an example of what will happen to the world’s climate if there is a massed return to fossil fuels instead of seeking alternatives.



“How many more tragedies of this sort do we need before the urgency of the moment jolts us into action?” she pleaded.

Speaking at the opening of the council’s 51st session in Geneva, Al Nashif acknowledged soaring energy prices in Europe “threaten to impact the most vulnerable as winter approaches.”



Al Nashif pointed out “some E.U. member states are turning to investments in fossil fuels infrastructure and supplies” and declared they must stop.



“While that impulse is understandable, I urge the E.U. and its member states to consider the long-term consequences of locking in more fossil fuel infrastructure,” she declared.



“It is essential to accelerate the development of energy efficiency projects and renewables.”

Al Nashif urged all countries “to seek an ambitious outcome” at the next U.N. climate conference, COP27, set down for Egypt in November.



They should seek to “address loss and damage and meet and increase climate finance commitments”, she said, noting claims for financial redress will be on the table.



Even as the U.N. looks towards Europe and scolds any potential return to fossil fuel as a power source, elsewhere nothing has changed.



As Breitbart News reported, a joint paper released in January last year by the U.S.-based Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) found China built over three times as much coal-fired electrical power capacity in 2020 as the rest of the world combined.

Dutch city bans meat advertising, claiming animal foods cause climate change

citizens.news/658735.html



(Natural News) Haarlem, a Dutch city located not far from Amsterdam towards the North Sea, is implementing new restrictions against meat advertising, claiming that animal foods contribute to global warming and climate change.



The first city in the world to do such a thing, Haarlem has decided that residents should never be allowed to see billboards promoting hamburger, for instance, because then they will eat more of these things and harm the environment.



Set to go into effect in 2024, Haarlem’s meat advertising ban was concocted by GroenLinks, a “green” political party in The Netherlands. Councilor Ziggy Klazes is credited with putting it together, and here is what he told the Dutch newspaper Trouw about it:



“Meat is very harmful to the environment. We cannot tell people that there is a climate crisis and encourage them to buy products that are part of it.”



One wonders who the “we” is, in this context. Last we checked, private companies that pay to advertise their own meat-based foods in public have nothing to do with any type of “we,” meaning the government, encouraging people to eat meat.



Klazes makes it sound as though the freedom to advertise meat in public somehow constitutes an official government endorsement of meat. This same false and deceptive framing is often used by prohibitionists, by the way, to justify restricting people’s freedoms with “controlled substances.”



Amsterdam, The Hague ban aviation and fossil fuel ads because of climate change

We are told that advertisements for “sustainably produced” meat could still be allowed in Haarlem after 2024, though the city government there has yet to make a decision about the matter.



Brighteon.TV

Citing the United Nations, Groenlinks says meat is generating more than 14 percent of all manmade “greenhouse gases” in the world, including methane, aka cow flatulence.



Not everyone in Haarlem is happy about the decision, perhaps most notably the meat industry. A spokesman from the Central Organization for the Meat Sector, which represents the meat industry, said this:



“The authorities are going too far in telling people what’s best for them.”



The Belang van Nederland (Interest of the Netherlands) (BVNL) party added that the ban represents an “unacceptable violation of entrepreneurial freedom,” adding that it “would be fatal for pig farmers.”



“Banning commercials from politically born motives is almost dictatorial,” chimed in Haarlem BVNL councilor Joey Rademaker about the matter.



Herman Bröring, a law professor at the University of Groningen, also said that prohibition of meat advertising could be a transgression of freedom of expression, and that many lawsuits are likely to be filed against the city of Haarlem for allowing this.



The latest data shows that 95 percent of the Dutch population eats meat, showing how out of touch GroenLinks and the various politicians and political parties are that support its agenda.



It should be noted that this is not the first time that The Netherlands has banned advertising for climate purposes. Both Amsterdam and The Hague have reportedly banned ads for aviation and the fossil fuel sectors, which supposedly, like meat, are warming the planet and scare the climate alarmists.



Be aware that Europe is often a testing ground for tyranny that later gets exported to the United States. If such lunacy in Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague goes unchallenged, you can be sure it will eventually spread abroad, including to America.



“Americans should be watching events taking place in the Old Continent with great interest,” writes Jose Nino for Big League Politics. “Europe is a testing ground for ‘war on meat’ and the broader Great Reset agenda.”



“Such experiences will give us an idea what to expect from the globalist ruling class once they start hatching ideas in the U.S.”

Obviously these fools don't understand that oil and gas are essential to the production and distribution of food, not to mention keeping people from freezing to death! 


Unhinged Climate Activists Throw Soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers Painting and Glue their Hands to Protest Oil and Gas Production

By Jim Hoft

Published October 14, 2022 at 10:10am


Two disturbed women of the activist group Just Stop Oil threw tomato soup over a painting by Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers on Friday that was on display at London’s National Gallery.



Phoebe Plummer, 21, from London, and Anna Holland, 20, from Newcastle dumped two cans of Heinz tomato soup all over an $80.99 million painting, which is protected by glass.



This whole incident was captured on film by Damien Gayle, a correspondent for the Guardian. Many people couldn’t believe what they had witnessed.



Watch the video below:

“What is worth more, art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice? Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?” said Phoebe Plummer.



“The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold, hungry families. They can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup,” she added.



Watch the video below:

The National Gallery staff quickly cleared the room, according to the Guardian.



Just Stop Oil is a climate activist group in the UK using civil resistance demanding the UK Government agrees to end all new oil and gas production. It launched on 14 February 2022.



According to the activist group, “New oil and gas will lead to crop failure, food shortages and the collapse of law and order. Human civilisation as we know it is on the verge of collapse.”



According to the London Metropolitan Police, specialists removed the two women from the wall and they have been taken into custody after being arrested for “criminal damage and aggravated trespass,” CNBC reported.



“A spokesperson for the National Gallery confirmed that there was no damage to the painting, which has an estimated value of £72.5 million ($80.99 million),” the outlet added.



Back in June, a pair of Green activists glued themselves on the frame of a Vincent Van Gogh painting in London.



The two people belong to the same group, Just Stop Oil.



The unhinged leftists told their gallery audience, “Sorry everyone, we didn’t want to do this.”

The young man who glued himself to the painting has already been arrested 20 times and spent six weeks in prison this year.



In May a climate activist dressed as an old lady threw a cake at the Mona Lisa in France.



A 36-year-old man dressed as an old lady was arrested on Sunday after reportedly trying to break the glass protecting the famous Mona Lisa painting before throwing a cake on its surface in an apparent climate-related protest.

It Begins… Schools in The Netherlands Serve Mealworms and Insects to Children to Save Planet from Global Warming

By Jim Hoft

Published October 15, 2022 at 6:35pm


In May The World Economic Forum promoted the EU’s new plan to use mealworms in food in their bid to reduce meat consumption.



The globalists are pushing for the peasants to eat bugs, weeds and synthetic ‘meat’ because bugs “consume fewer resources than traditional livestock.”



“Livestock around the world is responsible for around 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions relating to human activity. The need for land – whether for grazing animals or growing crops to feed animals – is “the single greatest driver of deforestation, with major consequences for biodiversity loss,” the paper says.


The European Union will be using mealworms, eaten whole, or in powder form in food. The European Union (EU) has ruled that the larval stage of the Tenebrio molitor beetle, the mealworm, is safe for people to eat and it will shortly be on the market as a “novel food”” the WEF said.


In July US Public Broadcasting joined the globalists and urged Americans to eat “tasty” insects and bugs to help battle global warming.



And now this…



Schools in The Netherlands are now serving mealworms and insects to children. They want to get them used to eating bugs.

These are some wicked people .

Unhinged Climate Activist Vandalizes Luxury Car Aston Martin Dealership with Paint to Protest Oil Production (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft

Published October 16, 2022 at 10:35am




Protester vandalizes Aston Martin showroom.



Earlier this month an additional licensing round for oil and gas development in the North Sea off the east coast of England was opened by the British government.



This comes after the household budgets in the UK have taken a bigger impact than any other western European country due to the energy crisis.



According to CNN, the UK energy crisis is “bigger than the pandemic. It’s a big national crisis.”



“The United Kingdom will have to find an answer to soaring energy bills soon or risk a humanitarian crisis. But freezing gas and electricity prices over the next two winters could cost the government over £100 billion ($118 billion), more than it spent paying millions of people’s salaries during the pandemic,” the outlet reported.


But this does not sway the anti-fossil fuel protesters in Great Britain.



On Sunday, an individual associated with the “Just Stop Oil” activist group spray-painted the Aston Martin car dealership on Park Lane to protest the new fossil fuel licenses in the North Sea.



The whole incident was captured by filmmaker Rich Felgate.



Just Stop Oil is a climate activist group in the UK using civil resistance demanding the UK Government agrees to end all new oil and gas production. It launched on 14 February 2022.



According to the activist group, “New oil and gas will lead to crop failure, food shortages and the collapse of law and order. Human civilization as we know it is on the verge of collapse.”



“We will not be stopped by injunctions that are intended to silence protests,” said the protester while a man in the background laughed at him.



“We are a nonviolent civil disobedience movement. We know that the changes in the law, the injunctions against us, are irrelevant in comparison with mass starvation, with the genocidal policies that our government is pushing for with 100 new fossil fuel licenses in the North Sea.”



Watch the video below:

“Every single day, our government continues commissioning new fossil fuel licenses rather than insulating the homes of the UK, rather than investing in public transport for everybody. Right?” the protester said.



“When you see it behind you, this is the exact opposite of the kind of public transport that this country needs, right? Very, very private, very, very expensive cars for the very, very few. We need countrywide systemic change and we need it as soon as we can get it.”



Watch the video below:

Some critics have pointed out that Just Stop Oil has taken cryptocurrency donations since the soup incident on Friday, and that cryptocurrency is known to have terrible effects on the environment, according to NPR.

Ecoterrorists: Vegan Teens Pour Milk on Store Floors to Protest Dairy Industry (VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila

Published October 16, 2022 at 4:30pm




Last month Animal Rebellion, a group of animal and climate activists, had been causing major disruption to a number of dairy distribution facilities across the UK. This has included blocking and occupying sites as well as damaging milk trucks.



The activists had written to the office of the prime minister in August, threatening disruptive action in September if no progress was made, according to the Guardian.



The organization is advocating for a switch to plant-based alternatives to milk and dairy products as a means of combating climate change.






Now the ecoterrorists of Animal Rebellion are dumping milk on store floors to protest the dairy industry.



Vegans teens across the UK this weekend poured milk out on grocery store floors to protest the “environmentally destructive” dairy industry.



WATCH:







The New York Post reported:



The latest environmentalist trend is here: pouring out milk in grocery stores.



All across the United Kingdom, teenagers concerned about the environment are doing “milk pours.” The new trend involves going into grocery stores, picking up cartons of cow-produced milk, and pouring out their contents, according to the animal rights group Animal Rebellion.



Videos that have popped up on social media show teens pouring milk onto the floor, over sales counters, and elsewhere in the store.



“The dairy industry is incredibly environmentally destructive. The world’s top 5 meat and dairy corporations are now responsible for more GHG emissions than Exxon, Shell or BP,” the organization said in a tweet Saturday.



“We NEED a plant-based future now,” it added.



The account also shared a report from Grain, an international non-profit organization, and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), which calls for the planet to “dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions” by eliminating meat and dairy consumption.



According to Animal Rebellion, the “milk pours” took place at eight different locations Saturday, including London, Manchester, Norwich and Edinburgh.



“Animal farming is THE leading cause of the loss of our wildlife and natural ecosystems,” the group said in another tweet, which also called for the government to “support farmers in an urgent transition to a plant based food system and allow the freed up land to be rewilded in order to restore wildlife populations.”

Protestors Glue Themselves To Floor, Get Mad When Company Doesn’t Give Them “A Bowl To Urinate And Defecate In”

By ProTrumpNews Staff

Published October 20, 2022 at 9:50am




“Green” activists glued themselves to the floor of the Porsche pavilion of a car show in Germany.



One of the activists, Gianluca Grimalda, is also going on a hunger strike until their climate change demands are met.



Auto Revolution reported:



Nine environmental activists chose Autostadt on Wednesday evening to raise awareness about what they call “a climate emergency” by gluing their palms on the Porsche pavilion floor. The group of nine that self-identified themselves as researchers and scientists argue that Volkswagen should do its part in slowing down climate change. They underline the manufacturer plays a big role in the fight against pollution since it is the world’s second-largest car producer. They also point out that VW has the means to lobby decision-makers into “doing the right thing.”


One of the activists, named Gianluca Grimalda, glued himself to the Autostadt floor and decided to also go on a hunger strike. He said in a Twitter video that 12% of the CO2 emissions come from the car sector and pointed out that a change needs to happen. Grimalda spoke for the entire group and argued that there is a real link between CO2 emissions and rising global temperatures. He says decarbonization is important, and it must happen as fast as possible because the target for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions set through Roadmap 2050 is too far off to have a meaningful impact.



On Twitter, Grimalda complained that Volkswagen is not providing them with toilet services.

Who knew there was such an easy solution to dealing with protesters?



Here are the demands of the group:



The first internationally agreed climate target is lost. There is no plausible pathway to stay below 1.5°C. This would require global emissions to peak before 2025 and be reduced by 43% by 2030. Even that would likely lead to 1.5°C being exceeded within the next ten years. The most optimistic scenario reported by the IPCC rests on the hypothetical deployment of large-scale carbon dioxide removal technologies to drag temperatures back down by the end of the century.



Continuing to say publicly 1.5°C is still alive is no longer defensible, yet politicians, leading academics and the environmental movement persist in doing so. In response, polluting industries and policymakers are inadvertently being encouraged to resist rapid decarbonization.



It is our responsibility to state the physical and ecological reality vs. political fiction to society. There is the very real possibility of global cataclysm, and we demand that those in power act accordingly.



They can’t get what they want through democratic means, so they glue themselves to other people’s property.



Spoiled children!

Bank Begins Linking Customer Transactions to Carbon Footprint

by Kari Donovan

October 21, 2022

OPINION: This article contains commentary which may reflect the author’s opinion





An Australian bank begins linking customer transactions to a carbon footprint-green social credit score scheme accelerating and alarming many over how close the United States is to implementing the same Chinese Community Party method of controlling and dominating the population into compliance with tyrannical policies.



The green woke movement appears to be a Trojan Horse of sorts to usher in Communist-style controls, as many people have feared.



News reports about the Australian bank power grab ignite fears about potential future ‘carbon allowance’ limits in other countries because this is a usurpation by a major bank in a Western country.



Plans for the bank that were introduced as a new feature link purchases to a customer’s carbon footprint and warns them when they are going over the average.



Social credit scoring is not a comfortable thing for free people.



The social credit system is an extension of the risk assessment credit rating systems that were introduced in China in the 1980s. Proponents argue that it will help eliminate problems such as food safety issues, intellectual property theft, violation of labor law, financial infidelity, and counterfeit goods.



The basic idea behind a nationwide social credit system is that everything from people’s ability to use public transportation to the future job they can receive is based on a single score. In doing so, the score becomes the entire basis for a person’s societal standing.



Here is the reality.



“Australia’s Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has partnered with Cogo, a “carbon management solutions” company, to launch the new feature, which is part of CBA’s online banking platform. The bank gives the customer the option to “pay a fee” to offset their carbon footprint, with the average listed as 1,280 kilograms, a long way from the ‘sustainable’ figure of 200 kilograms,” Paul Joesph Watson reported for Summit News, adding:



“A person’s carbon footprint is calculated, and then an ‘equivalent’ metric is shown to make the customer feel guilty about it, such as “8 trees being cut”.



The outlet continued:



“By combining our rich customer data and CoGo’s industry-leading capability in measuring carbon outputs, we will be able to provide greater transparency for customers so that they can take actionable steps to reduce their environmental footprint,” CommBank Group executive Angus Sullivan said in a statement.



The bank has promised to refine the calculation down to show how much CO2 individual purchases are responsible for.



While initially presented as a handy way for someone to track their consumption habits and the supposed impact they have on the environment, some fear that such schemes could one day become mandatory and place limits on purchases of customers who exceed their ‘carbon allowance.’



As we previously highlighted, allied with climate lockdowns, technocrats want to exploit hysteria over climate change to increase financial control over individuals.



Such a proposal was presented in the science journal Nature by four environmental “experts” as a means of reducing global carbon emissions.



Everyone would be issued with a ‘carbon allowance card’ “that would entail all adults receiving an equal tradable carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national [carbon] targets.”



The authors make it clear that the program would be a “national mandatory policy.”



Watson reported more details:



Carbon units would be “deducted from the personal budget with every payment of transport fuel, home-heating fuels and electricity bills,” and anyone going over the limit would be forced to purchase additional units in the personal carbon market from those with excess to sell.”



Of course, the wealthy would be easily able to afford the offsets, and many of them are directly invested in the trading mechanisms that the scheme would be based on.



The proposal makes clear that the means of measuring a person’s uptake of carbon units for travel would function “on the basis of the tracking the user’s movement history.”



The authors note that mass compliance with COVID-19 lockdown regulations has greased the skids for further intrusive tyranny and that “people may be more prepared to accept the tracking and limitations related to PCAs to achieve a safer climate” as a result.



At the same time the announcement was made about getting Austrailin’s under control with a social score, the bank was being promoted in financial news, as Yahoo reported:



It’s common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, ‘Long shots almost never pay off.’ While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away.



So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn’t suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.



Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s Earnings Per Share Are Growing



Generally, companies experiencing growth in earnings per share (EPS) should see similar trends in share price. So it makes sense that experienced investors pay close attention to company EPS when undertaking investment research. We can see that in the last three years Commonwealth Bank of Australia grew its EPS by 7.8% per year. This may not be setting the world alight, but it does show that EPS is on the upwards trend.



That’s encouraging news for the company!

Unhinged Climate Activists Smash Cakes on King Charles III’s Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds in London (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft

Published October 24, 2022 at 8:30am





Earlier this month an additional licensing round for oil and gas development in the North Sea off the east coast of England was opened by the British government.



This comes after the household budgets in the UK have taken a bigger impact than any other western European country except the Czech Republic due to the energy crisis.







According to CNN, the UK energy crisis is “bigger than the pandemic. It’s a big national crisis.”


“The United Kingdom will have to find an answer to soaring energy bills soon or risk a humanitarian crisis. But freezing gas and electricity prices over the next two winters could cost the government over £100 billion ($118 billion), more than it spent paying millions of people’s salaries during the pandemic,” the outlet reported.



On Monday, two members of the activist organization Just Stop Oil smashed chocolate cakes at the wax figure of King Charles III at Madame Tussauds London.



Initially dressed in black T-shirts, the two activists stripped down to their white ‘Just Stop Oil’ t-shirts upon reaching the red stage, where the waxworks of King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Kate are displayed.



They both proceeded to smash cakes at King Charles III’s wax figure’s face before reciting the monarch’s 2019 comments on climate change in New Zealand.



“Ladies and gentlemen, in the words of the King,” one protester said.



“For the past, what, 40 to 50 years I have been driven by an overwhelming desire not, to be confronted by my grandchildren – or yours … – demanding to know why I didn’t do anything to prevent them being bequeathed a poisoned and destroyed planet.”



“Now, of course, we are indeed being confronted by these very children, demanding immediate action and not just words.”



“The science is clear. The demand is simple, just stop oil. It’s a piece of cake.”



Watch the video below:

Madame Tussauds London immediately released a statement following the incident.



“At approximately 10.50 am today (Oct 24) protestors entered the ‘World Stage’ Zone at Madame Tussauds London and appeared to throw what is believed to be cake at our figures of The Royal Family,” Madam Tussauds London wrote on Twitter.



“Our security team dealt with the incident quickly and we are working closely with the Metropolitan Police on this matter.The attraction remains open, with our Royal Family set closed temporarily.”



UK’s Metro Police said four people were arrested for criminal damage related to the incident.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on the rise of vandalism and public temper tantrums by unhinged climate activists throughout Europe.



In early October, two disturbed women from the activist group Just Stop Oil threw tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ on display at London’s National Gallery. Thankfully the painting was protected by museum glass.



Also, an individual associated with the “Just Stop Oil” activist group spray-painted the Aston Martin car dealership on Park Lane to protest the new fossil fuel licenses in the North Sea.

Prediction: They'll Deploy Weather Modification to Push Climate Change Narrative


TUESDAY, OCT 25, 2022 - 14:19

by Ben Bartee via The Daily Bell



“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

-H.L. Mencken



At the risk to my esteemed personal reputation of being branded a “conspiracy theorist” (which doesn’t mean much these days anyway), I’m willing to go on the record with a prediction.



The US government will use weather modification to cause extreme weather and blame it on “climate change.”



There’s already a grand tradition of staging phony crises for the sole purpose of leveraging greater political power and social control.



Call it the “false flag” of climate change operations.



The puzzle pieces are all in place.



—————-



Without fail, every extreme weather event is now accompanied by a 2-week corporate media news cycle blaming climate change, demanding the government choke down the fossil fuel industry and throttle oil consumption. From recent history, for instance, Hurricane Ian:







The corporate media – functionally the public relations arms of the corporate state — stirs hysteria, and then later leverages the fear in the public it created to bestow more power unto the state, in much the same way it did in the name of Public Health© during the COVID pandemic.



Via New York Times:



“Ian embodies several of the major hurricane trends in recent years, as the world copes with the effects of climate change. It’s a strong storm — and strong storms are becoming more common in the Atlantic Ocean.”



That’s a total lie based on nothing. Total climate change propaganda.



Research published in 2021 in Nature Journal found that “increases in Atlantic hurricane and major hurricane frequency… are consistent with changes in observing practices and not likely a true climate trend.”



Data links the alleged increases in major hurricanes to how they are observed, not “climate change.”



But the New York Times just makes the anti-science claim anyway, knowing that, in our ADD-addled world, 80% of readers don’t make it beyond the headline. Their (shrinking) bovine audience in Brooklyn and Martha’s Vineyard and Berkeley laps it up because Trump completely broke their critical thinking skills, and because lazy.



They don’t analyze; they absorb, then regurgitate.



——————–



The corporate media never lets reality interfere with a good narrative. If more storms are not naturally occurring, why not make lemonade out of lemons and whip some up?



Just like they did with the now-vindicated COVID lab leak claim, they’ve dismissed weather modification as a “conspiracy theory.”



“Conspiracy theorists vary in their claims. But some of the most popular include the belief that governments control the weather on a massive scale*.”



(*Note the weasel phrase “on a massive scale.” The BBC, in the same article admits that governments do, in fact, manipulate weather – but it’s “localized”: “successful weather modification efforts have been localised – and certainly not on the grand scale some conspiracy theorists claim.”)



Via World Meteorological Organization:



“Operational programmes to modify the weather – including to disperse fog, enhance rain and snowfall, and suppress hail – are taking place in more than 50 countries worldwide.”



“Operational” means “happening right now.”



These statistics are presumably sourced from national governments, which, for national security reasons, have a strong incentive not to fully disclose their capabilities. So this is the bare minimum in terms of the number of countries actively manipulating the weather and the extent to which they are doing it.



To what lengths will the corporate state go chasing the climate change dragon?



Bill Gates, Scion of The Science©, wants to literally block out the sun via “solar geoengineering.”







Via Newsweek



Of course, all carbon-based lifeforms on Earth depend on sunlight for survival. At the bottom of every food chain is vegetation of one sort or another, which requires sunlight to grow.



It’s called photosynthesis, and most second-graders, even public school ones, can describe the essential process (or at least they used to, perhaps the groomers replaced that section of the science curriculum with clay dildo craft hour or whatever).



Eating seems important for humanity but apparently is irrelevant or even undesirable to Bill Gates, who once openly flaunted his depopulation agenda before taking subterfuge behind vaccines as a back-door method.



—————



What Gates’ sun-barricading tomfoolery shows is how little he thinks of the public at large.



He suggests literally blocking out the sun, knowing the corporate media will follow if he funnels enough money to enough corporate media outlets, as he often does to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars through his “nonprofit” foundation.



And he’s correct that some enormous subset of the public would walk right off the cliff into oblivion like lemmings.



There is probably no bottom to the barrel. Snuffing out the essential life-giving force for the whole world is a tough bar to clear. The question isn’t why the government would manipulate the weather to achieve its goals. The question is: why wouldn’t it?

Just Stop Oil activists attack 'Girl with a Pearl earring' painting at Dutch museum... as groaning visitors tell the 'stupid' protesters to 'shut up' when they begin preaching about the environment


Just Stop Oil protesters have targeted the iconic Johannes Vermeer painting at the Hague

One poured a tin of tomatoes over the head of another who glued his bald head to the painting glass

Onlookers groaned at the 'stupid' activists and told them to 'shut up' over the latest gallery attack

Dutch police said in a statement they had arrested three Belgian men in their 40s for damage to public property and were conducting a forensic investigation. They were being questioned

Eco activists have targeted the world famous Girl with a Pearl Earring painting in the Netherlands in the latest brazen gallery attack.



Three Just Stop Oil vandals were arrested at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, and the Johannes Vermeer artwork is said to be undamaged after the protest which sparked groans and heckles from the unimpressed onlookers.



Gallery visitors tried to drown out the 'stupid' demonstrators, telling them to 'shut up' during a speech about protecting the environment.



Footage circulating online shows how one protester appeared to glue his bald head to the glass covering the painting. His accomplice then poured a tin of chopped tomatoes over his head and they removed their jackets to reveal their Just Stop Oil t-shirts.



He said: 'How do you feel? How do you feel when you see something beautiful and priceless being apparently destroyed before your eyes?

‘Do You Love Your Children More Than You Love Fossil Fuels?’ Unhinged Climate Activist Melts Down In Live Interview

By Margaret Flavin

Published November 11, 2022 at 9:45am


The Gateway Pundit has covered numerous examples of the unhinged behavior of members of the climate activist group Just Stop Oil.



They have vandalized historic artworks. They have blocked traffic causing injuries to police, delaying a man trying to get his wife to the hospital and forcing a grieving son to miss his father’s funeral.



The activists act tough, but when forced to explain and defend their atrocious behavior, they devolve into emotional messes.



In a recent interview with Sky News broadcaster Mark Austin questioned protester Indigo Rumbelow about the organization’s disruptive tactics.



Austin asks, “What do you think you are achieving with these disruptive and also dangerous protests.”


Rumbelow avoided answering the question and instead gave a monotone list of talking points and demands.



When pushed by Austin, Rumbelow, rather than providing a cohesive argument, began shouting at Austin, “Do you love your children more than you love fossil fuels?”


The Daily Mail reports:



A Just Stop Oil activist was begged to ‘stop shouting’ by Sky News veteran Mark Austin when her live TV interview descended into a cacophony of noise last night.



The 64-year-old broadcaster – who is one of the news world’s most recognisable faces – became exasperated when protester Indigo Rumbelow kept talking over him and then asked if he loved fossil fuels more than his own children.



Just Stop Oil halted protests on the M25 today after four days of chaos on Britain’s busiest motorway caused misery for thousands of motorists. People lost work, missed funerals, cancer check-ups and even the birth of their children. On one occasion a police outrider was knocked off his bike and two lorries crashed when a protester climbed a gantry in Essex.



Suella Braverman has called for a crackdown on disruptive eco-activists – but Chief Constable Chris Noble, who leads the National Police Chiefs Council on the issue, rejected the Home Secretary’s demands for officers to take a ‘firmer line’.



Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley insisted: ‘We’re going as quickly as we can’ – but one damning photo yesterday showed 17 of his officers standing and watching as one protester stood on a gantry above a closed M25.



Miss Rumbelow, 28, who is from the Gower, Wales, has been arrested at least six times while protesting. Last night she was invited on to Sky News to defend Just Stop Oil’s actions in disrupting members of the public. Asked by presenter Mr Austin about their ‘illegal’ measures, the arts co-ordinator turned activist became increasingly irate.



She screamed: ‘Do you love your children more than you love fossil fuels? We are asking you to side with young people who are asking our government very politely in line with the UN saying that we need to cut out fossil fuels.’



It prompted a patient Austin, who has three children Beatrice, Jack and Maddy, to tell her ‘stop shouting at me Indigo’.



Watch the full interview below.







The Daily Mail has also reported on Rumbelow’s hypocrisy. According to the outlet.


Rumbelow was brought up at stunning £600,000 farmhouse with 35 acres of land close to the Gower peninsula in south Wales – one of Britain’s most beloved beauty spots. After leaving university, she worked in TV and movies as an art department runner on several productions including the 2020 movie Misbehaviour, starring Keira Knightley.



But before dedicating herself to eco-protests – which has seen her arrested at least six times – the arts co-ordinator turned activist appears to have loved travelling.



Holiday snaps from her Facebook and Instagram accounts suggest that she went on 9,000-mile round trips to Nepal on more than one occasion. Seven years ago she shared an image from a plane window on her way to Asia, calling it: ‘Cloudland’.



In 2019 she told the Guardian while living at an ‘eco-squat’ to stop Heathrow’s third runway, she went to her ‘first mass action’ in 2017 to protest against coal mining in Germany’s Rhineland. But in 2018 she shared an idyllic mountain scene entitled: ‘Nepal’.


One critic branded her a ‘hypocrite protester’ while another said of her trip to Asia: ‘I assume she walked there? I really hope she didn’t fly! Unless on a magic carpet of course’.

United Nations considers trying to OUTLAW all fossil fuels on the planet, which would lead to the starvation and death of billions of people

(Natural News) The COP27 globalist gathering that recently took place in Egypt came with open calls for a global phase-out of, and eventual ban on, all fossil fuels. Were this to actually happen, billions of people would die.



A tiny, failing island in the South Pacific called Tuvalu (ever heard of it?) made the proposition using the following quoted statement:



“We, therefore, unite with 100 Nobel Peace Prize laureates and 1000s of scientists worldwide to urge world leaders to join the fossil fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, to manage a just transition away from fossil fuels.”



One wonders: what does Tuvalu mean by the term “just transition?” Is ending most human life on earth considered by the globalists to be the “just” thing to do? Because that it what eliminating all fossil fuel usage would do. (Related: Without fossil fuels, there will be no more fertilizer to grow food.)



Fossil fuels are essential to not only the economy but also the continuity of civilization itself. The current global population is far too high to be sustained with Stone Age-era techniques of living, growing and catching food, and propagating.



“A tiny population, no greater than a couple of million people maximum, would know how to go back to living in caves and the Stone Age,” reports Zero Hedge.



“They’d have to scrape by and find food for themselves where they could. These people would survive. Everyone else. You’re pretty much gone. And that’s not exaggerating.”



Tuvalu is actually GROWING, not shrinking

Tuvalu happens to have an axe to grind as the island is slowly disappearing. It is unknown precisely why it is disappearing, but as is usually the case “global warming” is taking the blame.


Globalist politicians insist that human activity like growing food, driving a car, and raising livestock are causing planetary temperatures to rise, which in turn is causing ocean levels to rise and flood countries like Tuvalu.



The United Nations (UN), one of the hosts of COP27, seems to be in agreement that fossil fuels should be eliminated, even though it has never conducted a cost-benefit analysis on the prospect.



Let us assume, without any evidence, that Tuvalu could be saved by erasing fossil fuel use from the global economy. Would it really be worth it if, say, two billion people elsewhere have to die in order to make it happen?



“I understand that the members of Gilligan’s Island have formed a strong attachment to their home, but if I had to choose between sacrificing a strip of land or saving 2 billion people, I would go with the latter,” Zero Hedge says.



The reality is that Tuvalu’s fate is just the cover story for a global depopulation plan that is being disguised as well-meaning efforts to fight “climate change.” This is the simplest and most straight-to-the-point explanation as to what is going on.



“They don’t like that the plebs are using their air, their fuel, their farmland, their food, their water or and if you look at the dollar, it’s theirs too,” wrote a commenter.



“Half of the planet will die in six months if fossil fuels are banned,” added another. “Maybe that’s their goal.”



Someone else shared a “fact check” article published in 2018 confirming that Tuvalu is not, in fact, shrinking as was claimed at COP27. To the contrary, Tuvalu is growing in size, which completely debunks the anti-fossil fuel narrative.



“These people are serious and they’re not hiding their intentions,” wrote another about how the globalists now operate right in plain sight.

Reuters wants DEPOPULATION to achieve “climate justice” – says there are just too many people alive

citizens.news/675468.html



(Natural News) The corporate-controlled media is reporting that the total world population has now surpassed eight billion people, which Reuters says is too many to maintain “climate justice.”



In order to stop “global warming” and “climate change” in their tracks, claims Gloria Dickie, a lot of these people – but not herself, of course – need to go so the climate can heal.



If depopulation is not achieved, according to Dickie, then there will be “more hardship” for “regions already facing resource scarcity due to climate change.” (Related: Man-made climate change is a myth – there is no climate emergency!)



Dickie’s philosophy is espoused from none other than eco-extremist Dr. Paul Ehrlich, who wrote a book called “The Population Bomb” that basically promotes mass genocide as the cure for climate change.



Keep in mind that Ehrlich’s book was first published back in 1968. Even at that time, climate extremists were scaring themselves and others into believing that the world is wildly overpopulated and in need of a culling.



Dickie actually quotes “The Population Bomb,” writing that rapid population growth combined with climate change “is likely to cause mass migration and conflict in coming decades.”



Smithsonian Magazine says Ehrlich’s anti-population-growth propaganda resulted in “human rights abuses around the world”

If you have ever seen or heard the term “climate migrants” used instead of illegal immigrants or illegal aliens, you have people like Ehrlich and Dickie to thank as they are perpetuating the false notion that illegals are flooding the United States because the “climate” in their homelands is degrading.



“Reuters‘s propaganda sounded like a scene from Hollywood director Ron Howard’s Inferno (2016) when antagonist Bertrand Zobrist railed against overpopulation in a TED Talk-like lecture,” writes Joseph Vazquez for Newsbusters.



“Zobrist just happened to be portrayed browbeating attendees over the planet’s population nearing ‘8 billion now.'”



Another thing worth mentioning is that in “The Population Bomb,” Ehrlich predicted that the world would become so overpopulated that it would eventually collapse … in the 1970s. Obviously that never happened, which makes Ehrlich’s book a work of fiction.



That anyone would still be citing it says a lot about the devotion of the climate cult, which continues to rehash its tenets as scientific truth. Ehrlich’s promised climate-induced famines that would lead to “hundreds of millions of people” starving to death never materialized, obviously.



Ehrlich also predicted that children born in the ’70s and beyond would “inherit a totally different world, a world in which the standards, politics, and economics of the 1960’s [sic] are dead.”



There was one media outlet, Smithsonian Magazine, that dared to call Ehrlich out for his nonsense. A piece published there explained that Ehrlich’s anti-population-growth propaganda “fueled a … crusade that led to human rights abuses around the world.”



“Did Reuters memory-hole this factoid when it decided to publish a piece echoing Ehrlich’s alarmism?” Vazquez asks.



“Of course, Reuters made no attempt to distance itself from Ehrlich. In fact, the outlet didn’t even mention Ehrlich at all in the article. In fact, Reuters appeared to channel Ehrlich and create its own watered-down version of ‘The Population Bomb.'”



In that watered-down version, Dickie contends that policymakers need to take drastic action to prevent nature from being overconsumed as people “compete with wildlife for water, food and space.”



In her view, legislators can push and enact anti-population-growth bills, including mandates that lead to a “shift in consumption patterns.” It is “The Population Bomb” all over again using the same tired scare tactics that never, of course, come to fruition.

U.S. Reverses Course, Now Says It Will Pay Climate Extortion Money to Poorer Nations

BY RICK MORAN 9:33 AM ON NOVEMBER 20, 2022



It had been an article of faith since the 1990s when the idea of “climate reparations” was first proposed that the United States would never participate in such an extortion scheme.



Then Joe Biden got elected. NO HE DIDN"T! 😡


At the COP27 climate conference in Egypt, wealthy nations agreed for the first time to a framework that would pay poorer countries for “damages” that are caused by climate change. Droughts, storms, heat waves, excessive cold — all can now be itemized as part of the cost poor countries pay because rich countries are responsible for the changing climate.



Of course, storms and droughts have been occurring for millions of years in these regions, but that doesn’t matter. Once the deal is inked, the bill for “damages” will become active.



There is a small catch, however.



Daily Caller:



Wealthy nations will create a “loss and damage” fund that will provide money to countries that have suffered from climate-related “disasters” such as droughts or hurricanes, according to a draft proposal seen by Reuters. However, most of the details of the financial framework will be decided and agreed upon in 2023 at the next COP conference that will take place in Dubai.



“There is only an agreement to agree next year, which is not an agreement,” Energy and Environmental Legal Institute senior legal fellow Steve Milloy told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This is a face-saving fake deal to keep stringing poor countries along in order to keep the Paris hoax alive.”



The point isn’t that the deal is “fake,” because eventually the loss and damage fund will become real and the United States and other nations are going to have to pay up. The point is that this change in policy by the United States will enable this scheme to get off the ground and become a reality.



Related: Global Emissions Set Record as Attendees at Climate Summit Party On



Guess who is going to be first in line with their hand out when this climate fund becomes real? The second richest nation on the planet — China — is still considered a “developing country,” meaning it would be eligible for funds from the “loss and damage fund.”



Although the U.S. has long been at the forefront of opposition to the idea, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said earlier this year the U.S. was open to it. Late this week, European Union (EU) delegates issued a proposal that European Commission Executive Vice President Frans Timmermans described as the EU’s “final offer.” Timmermans said any agreement would depend on an updated definition of a “developing” country. China, currently the world’s largest single emitter, is considered a developing country under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.



Is this a great deal or what? The single biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses on the planet would be in line to be able to claim damages for past emissions by rich countries. I don’t know whether to laugh or put my fist through a wall.



As Mr. Milloy pointed out, nothing is set in stone as yet. But the deal describes the mindset of Biden and the climate hysterics who now run America’s environmental policy: The global north has too much money and it’s been wrested from the global south if not illegally, then unfairly. Climate change is just an excuse. This is “social justice” writ large on a global scale, and the American taxpayer will suffer for it.

New Survey Shows Over 70 Percent Of Children Are Now Afraid of Climate Change

By Alicia Powe

Published November 25, 2022 at 2:40pm


Over 70 percent of children are now afraid of a climate crisis and suffer from so-called “eco-anxiety,” a new survey reveals.



A UK-based start-up surveyed 1,000 children born between 2010 and 2015 on their views on the environment.



According to the research, a staggering 71 percent of respondents feared environmental changes, including climate change.



Twenty-seven percent of the children surveyed were anxiety-ridden over the impact changing global temperatures have on animals, while 19 percent said plastic pollution is their greatest concern.


A peer-reviewed study published in July also found that children are increasingly experiencing “negative” emotions including “anger, sadness, guilt, and hopelessness that characterize eco-anxiety,” but noted additional evaluation of the climate change’s impact on children must be conducted.



The rise in children’s fears about climate change coincides with education systems ramping up alarmist climate change indoctrination in the classroom despite unsettled science on the threats of man-made climate change and evidence to the contrary.



According to a 2016 report from the National Center for Science Education, approximately 75 percent of public school science teachers in the United States teach climate change and almost all public school students likely receive at least some education about global warming.



In England, climate change is incorporated into the elementary and middle school curriculum, despite most teacher feeling ill-equipped to teach the subject.



“Climate change is already incorporated into the curricula for geography and science in England as both are compulsory subjects up to the age of 14,” Euronews Green reports.



Yet, “according to 2021 research from the campaign group Teach the Future, 71 percent of educators feel they don’t have enough training to talk to students about climate change,” the publication notes.



The European Union is even reportedly running courses for its workers to help them cope with eco-anxiety.



To foster “climate grief,” United Nations is collaborating with Google to catapult its climate change propaganda to the top of Google’s search engine results to fight “misinformation.”


In an interview with the World Economic Forum, United Nations Secretary for Global Communications Melissa Fleming assured Google would ensure the correct science would be promoted on the internet following the WEF, Google partnership.



“We own the science and we think that the world should know it and the platforms themselves also do,” Fleming said.



As children continue to experience major mental health difficulties following worldwide Covid lockdowns, the WEF and influential organizations herald the impact the lockdowns had on reducing carbon emissions and have indicated they intend to mitigate climate disaster by instituting climate lockdowns.



For instance, an op-ed published by the WEF in September champions how “billions” of people complied with “restrictions” imposed as a result of the Covid lockdowns and argues the masses would continue to comply under the guise of reducing carbon emissions.



The article, titled ‘My Carbon’: An approach for inclusive and sustainable cities,’ was written by Mridul Kaushik, Mission Director, Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs of India.



Meanwhile, India is preparing to impose a climate lockdown to reduce pollution.


“India’s Supreme Court is calling for a lockdown in the capital, New Delhi. It’s because of a health emergency, but it’s not about COVID-19. It’s about air pollution,” NPR reports.



Authorities are slated to ban all nonessential travel and order tens of millions of people to work from home.

Pet Ownership is Now Under Attack by Unhinged Climate Extremists – Says Dogs and Cats are Part of the Climate Problem

By Jim Hoft

Published November 26, 2022 at 2:20pm




In an effort to lessen their “carbon pawprint,” unhinged climate activists are now advocating for the death of millions of dogs and cats worldwide.



An article published by CNN claims that dogs, cats, and other household pets that regularly consume meat contribute to “global warming.”



You can’t make this up.



“Our four-legged friends don’t drive gas-guzzling SUVs or use energy-sucking appliances, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a climate impact. In fact, researchers have showed that pets play a significant role in the climate crisis,” according to a recent CNN column.


“But what do Barkley and Whiskers have to do with our warming planet? It’s the products we buy for them that need a closer look,” the outlet added.



The news outlet added that most of the carbon pawprint comes from their diet, which is extremely high in meat and so requires a lot of resources (including energy, land, and water) to create.



The manufacturing of pet food also results in a significant quantity of greenhouse gas emissions.



“According to a 2017 study, feeding dogs and cats creates the equivalent of around 64 million tons of carbon dioxide in the US each year. That’s roughly the same impact as 13.6 million cars on the road. And, if our furry friends formed a separate country, it would rank 5th in global meat consumption behind China, the US, Brazil and Russia, according to UCLA professor and author of that study Gregory Okin,” CNN stated.



The far-left outlet is now advocating for pet owners to “do an assessment of your pet’s diet, cut out waste, and adopt responsibly.”

The Gateway Pundit reported last June that the New Zealand government unveiled plans to charge livestock a ‘burping tax to control climate change.’



From livestock to laughing stock.



The country, with more cows and sheep than people combined, released a draft plan to put a tax on belching sheep and cattle in an effort to contain ‘greenhouse gas emissions.’



Yes, you read it right. New Zealand is the first country to have farmers pay for gas emissions from livestock by 2025, the Ministry for Environment announced. The proposed plan also includes “incentives” for farmers who reduce these emissions through feed additives.



The new proposal will likely affect food prices including beef, mutton, and dairy.

Unhinged Climate Activists Hijack Beethoven Concert and Glue Themselves to a Conductor Stand (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft

Published November 26, 2022 at 7:45am




The climate extremists who have been vandalizing artworks and cars in recent months have now glued themselves to a conductor’s stand at a Beethoven concert on Wednesday in Hamburg, Germany.



Climate activists from the radical group Last Generation interrupted a Beethoven concert at the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, one of Germany’s grandest venues, and glued themselves while lecturing the audience about climate change.



Law enforcement officials quickly removed and arrested the two activists, and the show went on as scheduled.



The Times reported:

The stunt at the €866 million Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg was the latest in a string of attention-grabbing antics from Last Generation, a group of radical campaigners whose members have previously thrown substances over paintings by Monet and Klimt.



Minutes before the state orchestra of Saxony was to strike up the first notes of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major, an unidentified man and woman in fluorescent vests clambered on to the stage and stuck their hands to the stand with fast-drying glue, which induced groans from members of the audience.



In a brief speech the woman warned that there would be no more concerts in Hamburg if the low-lying port city were to be submerged beneath rising waters. “If we do nothing now, we will be complicit in the greatest catastrophe humanity has ever suffered,” she said. “Just as there is only one Beethoven violin concerto, we only have this one planet, whose boundaries we’re abusing so badly that catastrophes caused by climate change are getting more frequent and deadly.”



She added: “I always wanted to have children but now I’m so afraid to place a child in this world and look on as it dies in a war over resources or water.”

Dutch Government to Shut Down 3,000 Farms to Comply with Global Warming Goals – As Food Prices See Highest Increase in Decades

By Jim Hoft

Published November 28, 2022 at 7:45pm





In July, Dutch police shot at a 16-year old protester, during farmer protests in the country. The young teen, Jouke, was released the next day without charges.



In an incident near the blockaded food distribution center at Heerenveen in Friesland, police officers shot at 16-year-old Jouke’s tractor, which was already turning away from the roadblock, missing the boy’s head by an inch (Gateway Pundit reported). Jouke and two other protestors were arrested on suspicion of “attempted manslaughter” after which an angry crowd gathered in front of the police station in Leeuwarden. All three have now been released without charges.



During the protests Opposition leader Geert Wilders released a bombshell letter showing the globalist Dutch government wants to use expropriated agricultural land for asylum centers.

And Geert Wilders was right.

The Dutch Government announced they will close up to 3,000 farms to comply with their global warming goals.



This will take place as The Netherlands is seeing the highest increase in food prices in decades.

The Daily Caller reported:



The Dutch government is planning to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules.



It comes after farmer protests erupted this summer following a government plan to reduce nitrogen emissions by 50% by 2030, The New York Times reported. Farmers believe the measure unfairly targeted the agricultural sector, which is responsible for the largest portion of nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands, the Times added.



The government will conduct a “compulsory purchase” of large nitrogen emitters as part of a voluntary, one-time offer, announced Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal, Bloomberg reported. Farmers will be offered a deal “well over” the value of the farm, according to the government plan. She asserted “there is no better offer coming” in a Friday meeting with MPs.

The Dark Agenda Behind the WEF's Green Energy Push

BY SKWEALTHACADEMY

FRIDAY, DEC 02, 2022 - 13:50






Recently, the COP27 meeting concluded in Egypt with the World Economic Forum laying out 40 metrics the world must accomplish by 2030, including the below ones that I thought were the most revealing of the ones they outlined:



(1) Shut down 925 average-size coal plants a year;



(2) Increase public transportation infrastructure 6X’s faster than the current rate to decrease individual driving;



(3) Lower CO2 from cement production 10X’s faster than the current rate;



(4) Reduce the rate of deforestation 2.5X’s faster;



(5) Shift to plant-based diets 5X’s faster (call for a drastic reduction in beef consumption per capita in developed nations); and



(6) Phase out oil subsidies 5X’s faster



The above policy directives are interesting for Directives (1) and (6) obviously feed into WEF’s agenda of

greatly increased reliance on inefficient expensive green energy, a policy agenda that will cause energy prices around the world to soar into unaffordable price levels for many people and create a decision in many households between feeding one’s family or heating/cooling one’s home during winter/summer seasons. Directive (2) is about reducing our rights to privacy and to future car ownership, an iteration of Klaus Shwab’s declaration that “you will own nothing and be happy”. At first glance, Directive (3) seems to be a call for massively decreasing the levels of building construction in large cities around the world and stymying any commercial real estate growth, but new methodologies of fabricating cement that rely on electrolyzers and no CO2 production, if perfected, could accomplish Directive (3) without calling for a massive decrease in the rate of all commercial real estate growth.



Directive (4) is somewhat of a shock to me, because as you know, in this article, I called out the extreme hypocrisy of the WEF and other man-made climate change advocates in their dismissal of the massive contribution of rainforest destruction to increased levels of CO2 by these 13 companies: Colgate-Palmolive, L’Oreal, Hershey, Kelloggs, Kraft, Mars, Mondelez, General Mills, Heinz, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Reckitt Benckiser and Unilever. All 13 of these companies heavily partake in the destruction of rainforests because they source resources required in the manufacturing of their products that come from the clearing of massive areas of rainforest.



However, the WEF still made this call without offending the corporations with whom they are in bed, by specifically avoiding naming the aforementioned companies. Finally, regarding Directive (5), while studies have shown that those that consume plant-based diets typically have considerably longer lifespans than those that primarily consume meat-based diets, I don’t believe that policy makers should dictate to us what we can and cannot eat, especially since we know that all attendees of the WEF that make such policies will never cease going to expensive steakhouses. This should remain in the realm of personal choice.



Most importantly, all of the above is only relevant if one believes that global warming is a direct consequence of human activity, despite the lack of robust scientific proof, and that it is not due to credible alternative views that attribute warming to changes in the precession of the earth’s tilt along its axis and increased sunspot activity. I tend to believe the latter explanation as there is no robust scientific evidence that proves the former, while there is historical evidence of the latter.



Finally, the most revealing of all the policy calls above is the prominent absence of a specific call, the call for the growth of the greenest energy source of all – nuclear energy.



If global warming were actually due to human activity-based CO2 emissions, which I do not believe it to be, then the most efficient, best solution would be to call for an explosive growth in nuclear energy as our major source of energy around the world. I’ve already discussed here in this article why many of the strongest objections to nuclear energy are based upon outdated fears, especially given the advancement of technology in nuclear reactors today that have significantly reduced safety concerns. Thus, if you want to learn more about this topic, just refer to the aforementioned link.



In the past, at COP26, both man-made global warming advocates and WEF policy makers have discussed the need to rely on nuclear energy more prominently. But it is no coincidence that specifically this year, during massive economic sanctions imposed by NATO nations against Russia, that nations like France, Germany, Austria, Italy and the Netherlands have all returned, or plan on returning to a greater reliance on dirty coal energy this year and in the future, with no significant announcements about future plans to expand reliance on nuclear energy.



And Poland, instead of announcing a push to expand their nuclear energy sources, are pushing ahead to expand very expensive, extremely inefficient green energies like solar and wind, having expanded their nation’s relaince on these energies from 6.9% in 2010 to 16.9% as of 2021. And this war, not pure energy strategy, has led to energy costs in Poland soaring out of control by 20% to 40% thie year, and in response, the Polish government has provided subsidies to utility companies if they do not hike prices by more than 40% in 2022! In other words, the leaders of all these nations have demonstrated a propensity to cut off their nose to spite their face instead of actually pursuing energy policies that would best enhance their citizens’ quality of living.



And though the political leaders of these nations will convince the naive segments of their populations to blame Russia for the soaring energy costs of their nation, the fact of the matter has been that due to the NATO war against Russia, they would rather give their citizens emphysema, lung cancer and soaring energy bills by choosing coal and inefficient, expensive renewable energy sources for politically driven reasons over clean, cheap green energy.



Say what you will against the Chinese government for killing the immune systems of their citizens with deplorable extended Covid lockdowns for three years now (and rightly so) , but at least the citizens that are still alive after the CCP finally disband their ignorant Zero Covid policies won’t require the use of portable oxygen tanks in their future due to its very aggressive push to expand nuclear energy supply.



Furthermore, a push into extremely inefficient and expensive green energy sources reveals the sinister nature of policy makers that seek to deliberately send our energy costs sky-high. If we look at the below chart, it is clear to see that solar energy has less than 27% the capacity of nuclear and wind energy possesses less than 40% of the capacity of nuclear. What is capacity? Capacity is the operational uptime of the energy source, so if nuclear can run at more than 3Xs the capacity of solar and 2.6X the capacity of wind, then obviously these other two “green” solutions are highly inefficient when compared to nuclear. Thus a push for nations to increase “green” energy that excludes nuclear is in reality, a push towards massive inefficiency in a nation’s energy sources.










In addition, when we compare costs, if we observe the average price per KilowattHour for nuclear energy for the Asian nuclear reactors that represent more advanced generational nuclear reactors that those currently deployed in Western nations versus the average price of solar and wind energy, the massive discrepancies in price to the consumer is readily apparent. In this comparison, I have chosen to exclude the higher energy costs of Western nuclear reactors, because for example, the very old age of many nuclear reactors in France has recently necessitated shutdowns for safety concerns and retrofitting measures.










Thus, sticking to the more efficient newer generation nuclear reactors for the basis of my price comparison, solar-energy is 5.5Xs more costly to the consumer than nuclear energy while wind produced energy is a whopping 11.8Xs more expensive. Thus, it seems that the WEF’s mission of their focus on alternative, inefficient green technologies moving forward while phasing out dependence on oil and coal to meet humanity’s ever increasing energy demands is simply to drive the costs of energy sky-high for humanity. Furthermore, my aforementioned comparison does not even incorporate the much lower energy costs that will be produced by the next generation of nuclear reactors, LMSR (Liquid Molten Salt Reactors), technology that is providing not only to be multiple times more efficient than conventional LWRs (Light Water Reactors) and HWRs (Heavy Water Reactors), but multiple times safer as well.



The very fact that no attendees of the COP27 seriously tabled next generation nuclear reactors and the need to construct more of them as the solution to their presented CO2 global warming problem exposes the fact that not a single one among them truly believes that human produced CO2 is the real basis behind global warming.



If they did, why would they choose to completely avoid discussing the best, most cost-efficient, and most reliant solution to this “problem”?

Their refusal to discuss the best solution that is also “green” and that would greatly make energy more affordable instead of unaffordable for the entire world reveals that the man-made CO2 producing global warming narrative is a complete scam.



But more importantly it reveals their completely sinister plot to deliberately push energy costs for everyone worldwide much higher in order to degrade our quality of life, which coincidentally perfectly fits with their current narrative that the serfs should get used to eating insects in the future due to less expendable income. Even though very few people seem to care about this topic, I am baffled by people’s apathy about discovering the truth of this topic, as our apathy will definitely lead to a lower quality of life for all of us. It is time for us to take a stand, not in unity with the NATO agenda in Ukraine to destroy Russia, but against the WEF agenda to send our energy costs skyrocketing into unaffordable levels.



The only reason this agenda is being pushed very aggressively right now at the exclusion of nuclear energy is because 6 of the 8 top producers of uranium, the fuel for nuclear energy include the biggest economic threats to the Western MIB (Military Industrial Banking) complex at this time, Russia and China, or are generally considered allies of Russia and China: Kazakhstan, Namibia, Uzbekistan, and Niger. Though Canada and Australia are also among the top 8 uranium producers, the other 6 nations produce the lion’s share of all uranium at 78% production of all global uranium.


Conclusion

Thus, it is my conclusion that nuclear energy, the best, cheapest, most efficient form of energy to solve the world’s energy demand problems at the current time, is being entirely excluded from discussion due to the War Hawks of the MIB complex that would rather ensure that energy prices skyrocket and lead to Mad Max apocalyptic scenarios among the poor than to aggressively push the best solution for all of humanity. And for all the Ukrainians that foolishly believe NATO has your best interests of heart, the fact that nuclear energy would be the best, most efficient solution to your energy woes but is being completely ignored by NATO because it does not serve their agenda of reshaping the future of the world economy should raise some serious red flags, as your nation heads down a path that will further the goals of the Western MIB complex but seal the economic demise of your nation.



I realize that many people still remain anti-nuclear energy because of the environmental disaster that occurred in Fukushima in March 2011 and because of outdated beliefs about the dangers of nuclear energy formulated from the “No Nukes” movements of the 70s. However, opposition due to the former mostly originates from no understanding of the conditions that gave rise to the Fukushima disaster, which happened not because of flaws in the design of modern generation nuclear reactors, as is widely believed, but due to construction of the Fukushima reactor not being up to standard due to massive corruption and bribery in the Japanese government. And opposition due to the latter is simply due to ignorance of the functionality of new nuclear reactors that have increased safety multiple times since the 1970s, including even next generation reactors like LMSRs that make nuclear meltdowns nearly impossible.



It is time for all of us to not only educate ourselves about these matters but also to educate all others within our community about the facts as awareness is the first step in preventing WEF policy initiatives, happily carried out by our politicians, that will undoubtedly guarantee all of us a worse quality of life in the future. The clock has already begun to tick on energy matters and there is no time to waste.
