The Green Revolution?
Similar to how our governments bailed out the banks instead of the people during the 2008 financial crash, it’s my belief that the government sponsored faux big business/corporate green revolution is one of the biggest travesties and missed opportunities of our age. Don’t get me wrong, at the individual and grassroots level there is some amazing work being carried out under the banner of environmentalism. Equally, there are many big business and government interests that are using peoples concern to greenwash their products/narratives and future proof their control mechanisms.
This post is not intended as a debate on the validity or indeed invalidity of man-made climate change. Whichever side of the fence you sit, I believe the issues I will discuss relate to us all. Aside from climate change, I believe the future health of our biosphere is secured by empowering individuals and communities as opposed to the machinations of big business. Power to the people!

Despite promises to the contrary I believe that big business, energy sector and government sponsored environmentalism is too often based upon a false premise/promise, a slight of hand that gives with one hand and takes with the other. Environmentalism based upon a lie that as always puts the bottom line before the health and well being of our mother earth. A government sponsored lie that puts the interests of big business before individual and community interests. Environmentalism based upon facts, figures and energy targets that fail to tell the bigger story.

There are many environmental injustices and crimes that are occurring right now; alas because many are being carried out under the banner of renewable energy targets and CO2 reduction, the silence is often deafening. Much like the many aid agencies have been infiltrated and politicised (often greasing the skids for and justifying unjust wars) many environmental protection agencies and charities have been equally subverted.
We often have our attention averted from politically sensitive truths; whilst at the same time having the subconscious guilt and blame for the state of the world attached to the shoulders of the collective, teaching us to hate ourselves and that we are a disease upon the planet. At the same time greenwashed corporate business interests are too often allowed to continue unimpeded.

WWF
So let’s first take a look at the world wildlife fund, I have included them as in many ways I believe they're the glue the binds some of these injustices together. In 1961 the WWF was co-founded by Prince Philip, former Nazi SS officer Prince Bernhard and Godfrey A Rockefeller. A few months before the charities launch Prince Philip joined Queen Elizabeth (both of whom are responsible for the wholesale slaughter of thousands of animals) on a tiger hunt. Alongside several tigers the “party” also bagged an extremely rare Indian Rhino, at the time of the shoot there were just 250 left in the wild.
After the shoot the WWF’s first international appeals director Ian MacPhail later told a BBC camera crew that Prince Philip shot and killed an elephant whilst her calf ran in terror, stating that "he helped to cover up the incident because the WWF was about to be launched and he believed the Fund would benefit wildlife conservation."
“In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus to solve the overpopulation problem”. Prince Philip.

A Tangled Web
Prince Bernhard’s eldest daughter former Queen (now Princess) Beatrix is the largest single shareholder in royal Dutch Shell plc. Shell oil has been implicated and indeed charged with both environmental crimes and being complicit in the murder of environmentalists.
The world wildlife fund has been accused of “selling it’s soul” by creating allegiances with corporate business interests that use the WWF brand to greenwash their names/brands. The fund has also been accused as complicit in the evictions of indigenous communities from Indian and African forests and enabling Monsanto to plant GMO soy in the Amazonian basin. In truth, if you’re prepared to do your homework you will see that corporations such as Coca-Cola, Shell Oil, Monsanto, B.P, Cargill, Alcoa etc etc are actually connected to the same core interests as WWF.
A Word To WWF Workers
That’s not to say that the world wildlife fund doesn’t have some passionate and compassionate environmentalists working for them or that some great work hasn’t been carried out by them. Alas, despite these valiant efforts, at its rotten core I’ve come to believe what we have is neo-colonialism masquerading as environmentalism. The manipulation of empathy and use of public money to accumulate political power and vast tracts of land into private hands.
Green Energy Revolution?
Firstly I would like to preface this by saying that I’m not against green energy, in fact when implemented intelligently I think it’s a very good idea. Equally, from the perspective of the energy giants (whom are more dogmatic than revolutionary) let’s not kid ourselves that this is what’s happening here. In reality they’re using the green revolution to maximise profit, position themselves and retain control of the energy sector, using government funds, price increases, and thus public money to achieve it.
There exists the technology for each new build house to generate its own energy needs and to recycle a large percentage of its water. If our collective governments funnelled a fraction of the money that’s going towards big business tax breaks and huge (oft inefficient) green/renewable energy projects/targets into the empowerment of the individual, I believe that within a generation each household could be energy self sufficient. The public will is there, alas the leadership is not. This would be a true green energy revolution but unfortunately this would eat into the energy giant’s shareholder profits and a challenge a narrative that aims to nefariously connect every aspect of our lives to the net/grid.
It’s my belief that an ideal system would be where (under new planning regulations) every new house was designed (and existing houses funded) to become energy self sufficient, each household would then pay an inflationary capped rental on the household meter and an insurance for a skeleton grid. One thing’s for sure, from the perspective of the customer our current system is completely unsustainable and will only get worse. With the energy market in private hands that (on a yearly basis) need to increase profit margins for their shareholders, the burden and cost will ultimately fall upon the shoulders of the consumer.
Indeed each year in the UK we have elderly people dying of hypothermia because they're unable to afford to heat their homes! Unfortunately, unless we take up the mantle ourselves it’s a revolution that’s unlikely to come to fruition. Equally for those that do decide to make the break, there are even people that have disconnected themselves from the grid only to be evicted from their home. You may rightly ask how we could afford this true green revolution/evolution? Well the fact of the matter is that the energy giants are only really private when they’re taking profit and in terms of infrastructure projects they’re heavily funded by government.
Sadly instead aiding the individual and community interests, we have attempted private coups on water supplies (charging Latin American's for collecting rainwater from their own roofs) and governments across the world exploring huge, short sighted, ecologically damaging and inefficient energy projects such as the Three Gorges dam, the Amazonian Belo Monte dam, and the damming of Europe’s last free flowing rivers. These projects will (and have) forcibly removed indigenous communities from the land of their fathers, destroyed ecology, biodiversity and forests that are the lungs of a world they purport to save, clever eh?
Green Energy Targets
So to meet their “renewable” energy targets governments across the world have been quietly felling ancient, pristine and in several cases protected forests. A quarter of Estonia’s woodlands are now considered to be at risk from deforestation and a further 20% have already been clean cut. It’s sobering to note that this deforestation has taken place before the opening of their billion euro bio-refinery in 2022.
In order to meet renewable energy targets, protected forests and woodlands are being felled across Europe and the U.K is also felling/burning pristine woodlands from Canada to the U.S. In order that they can wear their renewable energy badges with pride, forests across the U.S are being felled to quench the Europeans insatiable lust for wood. Louisiana is currently a key fighting ground for environmentalists not quelled into silence by the oft hypocritical premise of green energy.
Alas, many within the climate change movement are so full of their own hubris that few look beyond the targets and bottom line. Few appear to challenge the wisdom behind the wholesale destruction of forest environments and the shipping of this “green energy” resource halfway across the world. These are the inconvenient truths that many of our environmental stewards appear unable to question.
Wind Farms
So once again I’d like to say that I’m not against wind farms, but I am against the frankly idiotic placement of them. I lived in the Highlands of Scotland for several years and witnessed firsthand the folly of these decisions. The Highlands are internationally famed for their vast ancient peat bogs. From a climate change proponent’s perspective, these bogs are a veritable treasure trove that stores literally thousands of years of carbon. Perhaps it would be wise to question the wisdom behind desecrating ancient landscapes to build industrial scale wind farms atop (and thus damaging) said bogs? Indeed when you factor in the carbon it takes to build each turbine, the shipping and the damage they can cause to these carbon sinks, the words white elephant spring to mind.
From this freedom of information request we can observe that since the year 2000 Scotlands wind industry has clear felled 17,283 acres of woodland, which equates to approx 13 million trees. To add insult to injury (because it’s cheaper) instead of burying the associated cables they’re increasingly covering vast tracts of pristine (and often protected) Highland landscape with pylons. The electricity generated from these wind farms is then carried down south and into substations from where it begins to feed to the grid. The power from these substations is then pumped back northwards and because of the elongated process and distances involved, the people that live alongside the wind farms are actually paying a higher rate for the electricity they produce.
Source
Biofuel
For several years many across the world have been patting themselves on the back safe in the knowledge that their public and latterly private vehicles are running on a mixture of environmentally friendly biofuels. But where do these fuels come from and what is the cost?
Firstly it’s being increasingly argued that biofuels may actually emit more greenhouse gasses than fossil fuels. The synopsis behind this analysis comes down to deforestation, changes in land use, transport and road networks that open pristine areas of forest and leave them ripe for illegal logging/mining activities. Equally as more countries like the U.S use their landmass to plant ever more bio crops, they need to import more crops such as soybean. Soy is often grown in rainforest environments and is now 90% GMO with Monsanto controlling 90% of the soybean market, this leads to further deforestation and damage to sensitive ecological balances.
Source
Deforestation linked to the E.U biofuel bonanza has resulted in a loss of biodiversity, the clear felling of rainforests, land conflicts, and again the forced removal of indigenous communities. Many biofuel crops damage the soil and because of their poor energy return consume vast tracts of land. Entire rainforests burned or felled in order to make way for a fuel that only produces 500 – 1000 litres of biofuel per hectare. When you begin to factor in the production and transport issues, then suddenly things aren’t as green as they first appear.
Conversely, when we compare these crops to hemp we can see that they stand in the shadow of this mighty plant. Hemp is extremely hardy and thus kind on the soil, within numerous and varied environments it can produce 1000 litres of oil per acre. It is also extremely fast growing and so can produce three/four crops per year. In the states enough oil to run the nation’s cars, heat homes and power industry could be produced on just 6% of its landmass. Even once the oil has been extracted and processed, hemp fibres can be used in the manufacture of car parts, textiles, construction and clothing. Again a true green revolution/evolution that’s impeded by government, big business and oil interests.

Electric Cars
But what about electric cars? Surely they’re the answer to our energy woes? Well erm .. no! As with all government and big business initiatives there is always a payoff, both environmentally and personally. First it’s time to put my conspiratorial head on; as with the smart meter, electric cars have little do with saving the environment and everything to with connecting every facet of our lives to the net. To increasingly ensnare us ever deeper into the web in order that we can be tracked, monitored and surveilled by a 5G powered omnipresent smart grid. I will add that I have that I have valid concerns (as do many scientists) about the over-saturation of EMF's and as such the 5G network that the electric car will be increasingly communicating with. Whoops I’ve digressed, where was I?
The electric car might not require petrol/diesel to run it, but where does the electricity come from? Again, if you’re a proponent of man-made climate change, then your local grid may still be using coal fired plants. Equally, if they’re meeting their renewable energy obligations then where is the energy coming from? How will a world of electric cars impact upon the aforementioned forests?
Source
But let’s take a closer at the mining aspect behind the electric cars components, nickel, lithium, cobalt etc etc. Many of these mines are incredibly environmentally destructive and a percentage are known to use child labour. Many of the metals and minerals used in the technologies to fuel both the electric car and the impending 4th industrial revolution, are extracted from threatened chimpanzee habitats throughout the Congo Basin and thus have decimated their population. From coal powered furnaces to rock crushing equipment, the manufacturing process behind the electric car generates far more carbon than the production of the conventional motor. The rare earth minerals that are required to run the electric car exist in minute quantities and there extraction is both labour intensive and damaging to the environment.
If we look at a standard clay mine, in order to dissolve the clay workers dig deep holes that they fill with aluminium sulfate. The next stage of the process involves the bagging and removal of a residue that is then passed through several acid baths, finally it’s ready to be baked in a coal fired kiln. The rare earth minerals that are extracted amount to 0.2% of the soil that’s been removed from the ground, the remaining (toxic) 98.8% is then dumped back into the environment. Yes when compared to a conventional motor, over the lifetime of the car it will save Co2 but it still compares very unfavorably to my aforementioned hemp solution. Indeed car maker Renew are making cars from carbon negative hemp material than can run on hemp ethanol.
The CANNA 100 & 130 models have a Lifetime Carbon Footprint that’s 10% lower than the average new electric vehicle, while the CANNA EV model drives 22% greener than the average electric vehicle, ranging from 80 to 400+ horsepower.Source

Conclusion
Whilst energy resources are the buzzwords of our age, a sad fact remains that the greatest untapped resource is the collective ingenuity of humanity. The U.S patent office alone has over 5,000 private inventions that are held under secrecy orders. Equally we also have mega-corporations with entire departments dedicated to buying up patents that may impede their business practices. It certainly makes you wonder how many patents relate to energy? Alas, instead of freeing our creative spirit, we're being strangled by an ever tightening noose of red tape and regulation.
As our sycophantic and dogmatic governments fawn over, capitulate and pander to the circle jerk of corporatocracy, our greatest and most ingenious minds often disappear through the cracks and wander in obscurity. That said, many are awakening to the fact that now is the age of change .. will we grasp the opportunity, or allow the system to define our future? I guess time will tell.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post, as always I will leave you to decide who has the perceptualflaws.

That's the best article I have read on here full stop.
Your thinking more or less mirrors mine, you just laid it all out better than I ever could!............
I would argue a few points, though found nothing to argue about, not until we all take time to research, make our own energy, and build our own houses will anything change, sad to say.
I wish I had a thousand dollar upvote to give you, as you truly deserve it, though with stincs thinking and the slump in steem price, that upvote is now unrealistic, glad to see though you sir still write.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words my friend, that's high praise from you and I really appreciate it. You're so right, nothing will change until we discover our inner power and stop giving it away to people that don't give a shit about us. I hear people talk of a revolution .. we don't need a revolution, we don't need to play their games of violence, fear and control .. we need an evolution of thought, consciousness and understanding, alas until that happens .. we will continue to spin in ever decreasing circles. If we just open our hands (indeed our minds) and grasp it .. the future is ours for the taking. ;)
I know you would my friend, but equally comments like yours make it all worthwhile. I'm still here writing, I'm just juggling a million balls at the moment so it's difficult to keep up with everything and I don't want to lower my post quality .. but I'll get there in the end and never think I don't appreciate all the support I have or all the amazing work that you and others do. Thanks again @shepz1
Awesome comment my friend, as always, and yes, with violent revolutions only comes more pain, more rules, Newtons law and all.
Education is what is needed, and your posts promote self teaching, research and questioning the narrative that is, hence why I love to read your posts, I hope all went well on the move, maybe one day I will get my old backside back on disco, for now though I have a lot of other stuff to deal with.
As always a pleasure chatting to you.
Love the post. I was a former fanatic of the mainstream green movement until I realized thankfully that it's all a sham.
I was intrigued by the origins of the WWF. I wasn't aware of it's nefarious roots but it alas doesn't surprise me. So many of those mainstream groups have similar stories; powerful people just funnel their money into it so they can look appealing all the while desecrating everything that the name or mission statement of the group stands for.
All of these green technologies have been around for decades if not longer but they are only getting mainstream adoption now that the mega-corporations can feel comfortable taking a piece of the pie. Solar panels, wind turbines it has all been used privately for many years but we are only seeing it expand because big business wants to appear that they are advancing technology when they are clearly not; just advancing their wallets.
The electric car sham is also amusing. You are going to buy this new technology when what it takes to produce it, maintain it and charge it are far more damaging to the environment than my good ol' gasoline running vehicle ever will be. Then not to mention that the cars like the Tesla are all connected to their grid and they can change it or take control of it at any time. I remember last year or the year before Tesla revealed, begrudgingly, that it has full access to the cars and can make setting adjustments on the fly whenever they need to. It was some news story about power consumption or battery life but the point was that people weren't aware that the company had constant full control of the vehicle if they wanted. I will certainly pass on that!
Hemp! We are a kindred spirit. Hemp is one of the most amazing plants on the planet. Ignoring the fact that humans have used it for thousands of years, we need to take a lesson from our ancestors and start to cultivate it on our own. I think one of the biggest benefits that we can have through the wave of collective mindsets changing towards positive cannabis use is that we will start being able to cultivate hemp fields en mass. I think the THC component is great for many but what I want the most out of this all is to start utilizing hemp to its full potential. Get rid of this inefficient cotton, lumber, oil, plastics and countless other industries in favor of this wonder.
Thanks for the post! I need to go back and read the other one I missed a week ago or so.
Hey @complxty thank you for taking the time to leave such a great comment my friend! Yes I have extensively researched both sides, read James Lovelock's books .. looked into the science and ascertained whether you're a believer or non believer you're being lied to, manipulated and fleeced for money .. hence why I wanted to keep the post open to both sides of the argument. Unity in the face or division .. because truth be told .. divided by polarised positions is exactly where the system wants us .. arguing among ourselves and re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titantic.
Piers Corbyn runs the weather action network where he forecasts the weather using sunspots and planetary alignments and he has a pretty good accuracy, he also has an open invitation for any climate scientist to debate him in a live format (which would be really interesting to see) as yet nobody has taken him up on his offer.
Yes I saw that about Tesla increasing their engine size during the recent hurricanes, that's what people don't realise .. many aspects of the electric car will remain the intellectual property of the maker, true ownership is dying and we entering an era of leasing. Equally just like how every computer, phone and smart device has a backdoor for the government and security services to exploit .. so does and will the electric car!
Amen to the hemp my brother .. I really do believe that used correctly it has the potential to save the world .. and I don't say that lightly. Like you say it has so many diverse uses, just think of how criminal it is that they have deliberately suppressed it's medical benefits .. people have died through lack of knowledge.
No thank you my friend .. I hope you're well and looking forward to a great weekend, catch you soon!
Thank you for this article touching many details and your detailed responses in the comments.
I looked up Piers Corbyn for a glimpse.
Do you know the work of Jim Lee?

I had one of the strangest experiences in my work life earlier this year with an electric car company new to Vancouver (cough, cough, you can guess which one), and the 'handler' for this job drove a van with the globalist logo. Even the bloody outside lighting on their building was pyramid shaped.
No, there was nothing about that experience that gave me any hope for the future in that regard. It was thoroughly exploitative and bizarre through and through but fit perfectly with the insanity of those who run Vancouver today.
Ankle-biters perhaps! lol
Ha man that does sound surreal .. the walls and control structure for our impending depraved new world are being built around us, and yet nobody seems to notice or care. Are people in some kind of technology induced trance, or have the majority had it easy for so long that they've lost any semblance of street wisdom? It's difficult to put your finger on, but many really appear to be in some form of daze.
In terms of the weaponisation of environmentalism as I mentioned on another comment .. I have said for many years that once the smart grid is in place, people will be given carbon quotas at the beginning of the year and then fined, freedom of movement curtailed or banned from flying etc etc if they overstep the quota .. funny thing is many will be cheering it on. It reminds me of those "joke" green police adverts from a few years ago .. advert above.
I learned a lot.
Btw, queen Beatrix of Orange is no longer 'the' queen of the Netherlands, but the former queen. Prince Bernhard was her partner. Some good connections here with Big Oil ;-).
Thank you for reading my friend .. yes the orange royal connection, William of Orange founded the privately owned bank of England and the privately owned city within a city (with it's own laws/police force etc etc)that is the city of London .. a tangled web indeed. Yes you're entirely correct about Queen Beatrix which is why I added (now Princess Beatrix) in the post. That said, I will also add (former) Queen Beatrix so people are sure so thanks for pointing it out and thank you for the support and kind words.
Thank you, you're welcome! I found your content via the @informationwar resteem. I took a good look at your previous articles and found some old gems i still need to read!
You have a new follower ;-)
Thank you my friend, I really appreciate the follow :)
Wow very informative! I had no idea about the beginnings of WWF, really eye opening.
This:
"every new house was designed (and existing houses funded) to become energy self sufficient, each household would then pay an inflationary capped rental on the household meter and an insurance for a skeleton grid."
This would be awesome and the way I'd like to set-up when it comes time for me to build my first house. In NZ if we create our own energy via wind, water or solar and we have surplus we can sell it back to the grid. Couldn't this cover the insurance for the skeleton grid that you propose?
OMG YES:
"Conversely, when we compare these crops to hemp we can see that they stand in the shadow of this mighty plant. Hemp is extremely hardy and thus kind on the soil, within numerous and varied environments it can produce 1000 litres of oil per acre."
Ive been trying to educate people on the versibility and utility of hemp for a some time (even just wrote a blog on hemp for steemit a couple of days ago)
Theres nothing this plant can't do, it could single handedly wipe out many more harmful industries that are currently in place today (cotton, fuel, dairy, medicines etc) Hemp has a super low environmental impact and even creates its own pesticide and fertiliser, amazing plant.
"mining aspect behind the electric cars components, nickel, lithium, cobalt etc etc."
This is very valid today and I have often heard it used as an argument against electric cars. These minerals are mainly required at the moment to produce the battery packs that go into electric cars. Although lithium-ion batteries have very little lithium in them these days, mainly just cobalt and nickel etc. Battery technology, especially these high out-put battery packs that are needed in cars are still in their infancy in terms of development and innovation. As with any new technology with capital interest, rapid innovation will occur. If you take the first combustion engines for example, they were way less efficient and far more polluting than they are today. The same will happen with battery technology. And isn't it important that we focus on an energy source thats renewable? I understand that not all electricity is made from renewable energy but it's still infinitely more than petrol/diesel cars which are 100% non-renewable.
We have a huge fusion generator in the sky emitting more than enough energy to power the whole planet, I say lets use it!
I think you just found yourself some new followers, lets see if we can give you some help in rising up the reputation ladder, nice to meet you also.
If this comment was directed at me thanks so much, if not thanks anyway :)
Indeed it was. :-)
Too kind :)
Hey my friend,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and leave such a thoughtful comment.
Yes I believe that the excess probably would cover an insurance cost, but equally some form of nominal insurance could act as a sweetener that could get the ball rolling. Equally I feel an insurance could cover unforeseen circumstances and large scale damage to the grid system and equally go some way to ensuring that those who maintain it (the workers) are paid a good standard of living.
Yes it's such an amazingly versatile plant and I feel it could quite literally save the world. In a way this kind of also answers your next question, in relation to electric cars yes I think you're right in that over time and with the correct expenditure and innovation the methods of extraction will become less polluting. That said they will still use finite rare earth minerals, which suggests a finite answer to a long term and infinite problem. Equally as highlighted, even without coal fired plants .. the production of renewable energy has its own inherent problems. I'm also concerned about the whole narrative behind electric cars, privacy, plus concerns around the over-saturation of EMF's slowly creeping from the work, home space and increasingly into the car. I believe it is a false premise sold as environmentalism that will be increasingly used to monitor the population.
Equally, Henry Ford originally designed a car that was built from and ran on hemp oil .. realising that it was a cheaper and cleaner alternative .. the oil giants were so concerned that it would steal their thunder that they were instrumental behind banning it's industrial use and the demonisation of cannabis. In recent times, the car maker Renew has designed several Canna cars and released the below statement (which after spending a few years looking at hemp as an alternative energy source I very much believe) the cars are built from hemp and can run on hemp ethanol.
Like you say a few more years innovation and who knows what they could achieve with hemp vehicles?
Amen that that my friend, indeed among the 5000 plus patents held by the US patent office I very much believe the answer to our energy woes is already there. Thanks again @bengiles
No worries @perceptualflaws it was a pleasure to read :)
What the oil giants did to Henry Ford, reminds me of William Randolph Hearst and his bullshit propaganda to try and villainize hemp. Pretty sure he was the first guy calling it 'Marijuana', and tried to spread the misconception that hemp makes you high and loopy just for his own personal gain. So sad!
Anyway thanks again, I'm just a new steemian so my vote is not worth much.
But upvoted, followed and resteemed! Looking forward to future posts :)
Oh yes .. just like how President Nixon initiated the whole drug war to demonise his opponents (Black Panthers etc etc) .. a tangled web that has claimed tens of millions of lives! Thanks again @bengiles
Amen brother! speak the truth @perceptualflaws
Philip killing an elephant reads like a Monty Python skit... it's truly ridiculous.
Sorry, Prince Philip you and your ilk are already a virus involved in 'trying to solve the overpopulation crisis'.
It runs in the family -
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/02/prince-william-warns-many-people-world/
This is something that is very troubling, we can also add Monsanto/Bayer seed banks to this conversation putting patents on the natural world (!!!) but that's another topic all together.
Last night I watched a documentary on Nikola Tesla and I couldn't help but be reminded of it while reading this post. How different would our world be if scientific innovation was allowed to flourish and was separate from business/finance?
We would see true ingenuity that would revolutionize our world, I'm sure of it. Our world would be more enlightened, exciting, and bizarre in the best ways imaginable. Instead, we have a control grid that smothers our creativity and that actively suppresses solutions to the worlds most pressing issues.
Love your work mate! Excellent read :) resteemed
Hey my friend, alw2ays great to see a comment from you .. thanks for stopping by, I hope you're having a great weekend.
Yes I agree, it's ridiculous and disgusting .. royal and elite shooting parties have been responsible for the slaughter of literally thousands of animals, some of the African shooting parties would take hundreds of animals a day .. it was a bloodbath and an outward display of their greed and arrogance, and yet people still think they're good custodians of our wildlife?
It runs in the family -
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/02/prince-william-warns-many-people-world/
Yes it's almost as if Philip and William are operating a good cop/bad cop routine .. same shit, different delivery .. equally with an ever expanding Royal family it's advice they don't appear to be taking. In this day of inter-connectivity and social media it's easy cast the illusion that there are too many of us .. in reality what there is too much of is greed .. and the Royals personify that problem! What were really need is a seismic perceptual change, the demise of our vapid consumer culture and our inverted definitions of success .. if they were to change we would realise that there is enough space for us all to live in perfect balance with the world. Indeed, in our world where children starve to death whilst others are worshiped as kings, it's sobering to note that we produce (and throw away) ten times more food than the whole planet could consume.
I left the Monsanto connections a little ambiguous, because like you say .. that web is a post in itself, and equally one I'll write at some point. As I mentioned on another comment, a few years back they were exploring standard definitions of food, i.e only certain seed types (brands of apples etc) would be licensed to be sold .. like you allude to, this would increasingly open the door for the patenting of food and seeds.
Yes I often think about Tesla and ponder hope many of his patents are hidden away or have been inverted and used as weapons :( It's so sad .. for many years the U.S government (among others) has been scouring the world for the brightest minds and then drawing them into scholarships that eventually lead to them working in compartmentalised departments within black budget projects, in turn stifling the creativity and the gifts that these people could have brought to humanity .. the Einsteins are still out there but sadly they're hidden away and subverted. My hope is that eventually, geniuses will be born at such a rate that the system won't be able to keep up and thus suppress them .. I feel that they really fear such an awakening and this is a key reason why the construct of our society impedes the individual and the maverick. These people are like ticks and it's time to shake them off and reclaim our destiny as a species.
Thanks again for all the support @v4vapid it really helps me to keep pushing forward and I very much appreciate it.
it is so sad the reality of what is happening in the world, how easily some folk fall for all this green wash, just using the word green now and people automatically think it is good for the environment. Like you have shown we do not have to dig deep to really find out what is happening. Where I come from in Ireland is bog land also and yes there is a wind farm there, again no one even taught to discuss the destruction of the bog, that takes 1000's of years to create and now destroyed so quickly and easily. this oh so clever tactic of tell the people what they want to hear, give them want they want while we continue to play our games in the background, it is such an old game they play, yet so many continued to be fooled.
but yes times are changing and more and more are wakening up, this is such an important time and so important to get this information out for people to see. No global high profile company or project gets to the top out of doing good, what we see is what they want us to see, well no more, now is the time of truth. Great post my friend so much great information xxx resteemed xx
Hey my friend, thank you for stopping by .. sorry I haven't been around as much in the last week, I've been non stop catching up from the move, running a failing business and trying to start a new one lol .. with family time its a balancing act trying to keep my post quality high and reading/interacting with everyone's amazing work, but I'll get there in the end :D
Among the people, there is so much love and passion for our earth and the environment and it breaks my heart to see it being subverted and used to leverage ever more money and control. People's lives are so fast paced and time is of such a premium that few are able to look beyond the "Green" label. We even have parasites like Nestle (who's chairman called the idea that water is a human right "extreme." And who drain the great lakes for a dollar a day!) green washing their products, don't worry I have a future post dedicated just to them. ;)
Yes I couldn't agree more, all these lies need to unravel and be laid bare for they are literally draining the life from the planet .. only an arrogant fool would seek to dam the mighty Amazon river, the madness of kings eh? Thank you so much for the support and resteem @trucklife-family I really appreciate it.
Extremely well researched and well written post. Thank you. Agenda 21 is a program that aims to implement fundamental aspects of the Globalist New World Order agenda under the guise of "Environmentalism" or "sustainable development." They want people to eventually move into zones and to live in match box apartments. They even want to class nutrients as poisons and legalise actual toxins under a program called "codex alimentarious" which also makes it illegal for home owners to grow their own vegies which is already being implemented in countries like New Zealand.
As far as climate change is concerned (personally I think the reasons stated for it is a hoax) either way, the fact of the matter is the globalists or governments SOLUTION to climate change is that you need to pay them lots and lots of money and also have many of your freedoms taken away in the process. Follow the money.
Much "green energy" is created from Uranium. The left over depleted uranium is then put into weaponry to aim at your enemies which also causes great birth defects for generations in those areas.
Genuine solutions and free energy technology that really works have been suppressed for decades because there is not enough money in it for the establishment and it grants the citizens too much freedom.
Thanks again for your great post.
Hi @visionaryart. Scary stuff! I live in NZ and I had no idea about any of it.
Hey ~@visionaryart .. thank you for taking the time to read my post and leave such a thoughtful comment .. I really appreciate it.
Yes I very much agree with your analysis .. I think people tend to lump agenda 21 & agenda 2030 in together, but I feel they should be viewed as separate stepping stones towards the same agenda. Certainly they have weaponised environmentalism and attached the guilt for the destruction they have brought to this world onto a populace who are increasingly primed to accept authoritarianism under the banner of environmentalism .. (loss of freedom of movement, free speech, population reduction etc etc) indeed the sperm count of the western male has decreased by 60% in the last fourty years alone, where is the outcry?
I'm a huge proponent of natural health/medicine and have written posts on the subject so "codex alimentarious" really does concern me .. they were even trying to obtain standard definitions for foods .. i.e only certain brands of apple could be sold in Europe etc, I think they've managed to push back on that for now .. but you know they'll be back!
I have said for many years that once the smart grid is in place, people will be given carbon quotas at the beginning of the year and will then be fined, have freedom of movement curtailed or banned from flying etc etc if they overstep the quota .. funny thing is many will be cheering it on.
Exactly, the reason I didn't focus too much on the climate change debate is because whichever side of the fence you sit these issues affect us all .. hence I wanted to bring a bit of unity to a subject of increasing division. Most people don't remember the global cooling scare of the 70s .. but if you've lived and researched long enough you begin to see how these cycles of fear begin to repeat themselves .. video above. Thanks again @visionaryart your support is much appreciated.
Much as I agree with you on all this - just a heads up there is nothing illegal about growing veges in NZ - I'm not sure which country that is...
Well done friend, you nailed it on the head! The green revolution is nothing more than a front for more corporate greed. It's like I always say. I believe it's important to live more environmentally friendly. Just not through a government lead green initiative, but rather a green initiative lead by a community of free thinking individuals. People with no ties to corporations.
Thank you for stopping by my friend and I'm really glad the post resonated with you .. sorry for the late reply but I had some issues with HF20 at the beginning of the week and then I've been away for a few days.
Exactly @venomnymous .. we need to stop waiting around to be saved because nobody is coming! We need to be the change we want to happen and to help others find the strength to do the same .. only then will we know true change! Thanks again my friend.
it is all a huge scam... follow the money. There is nothing we still can hang on socially anymore... we are ruled by scams and deceptions.
Great essay... as usual. Congrats
Thank you for taking the time to read @earthcustodians it's much appreciated. And yes you're entirely correct, it really is a huge scam that for all intents and purposes has weaponised and monetised the environmental movement. It's so sad to see how peoples good will has more often than not been turned against them .. people are ripe for change, alas I fear big business and government will supply it in name and cost only. :( Thanks again my friend.
