PM Boris Johnson announces Britain’s ‘Great Reset’ – No return to ‘normal’ – Sees lockdowns as ‘trigger for economic & social change’

Neil Clark : In his keynote speech yesterday , Prime Minister Boris Johnson specifically ruled out a return to normal , not even with a vaccine .
Johnson : “ After all we have been through , it isn ’ t enough just to go back to normal .
We have lost too much .
History teaches us that things of this magnitude – wars , famines , plagues , events that affect the vast bulk of humanity , as this virus has – they do not just come and go .
They can be the trigger for economic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ utter those words I thought , ‘ where have I heard this stuff before ?
’ Well , the answer is in the book ‘ Covid-19 : The Great Reset ’ by Klaus Schwab , the executive chairman of the World Economic Forum , and Thierry Malleret .
They too , like Johnson , invoked the Second World War as the trigger for fundamental changes , not only to the global order and global economy , but to society and the way human beings interact with one another .
Like Johnson , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normal .
“ Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal .
The short response is never.
” Schwab ’ s elitist Davos-man utopia is a trans-human , socially distanced , utterly soulless dystopia for the rest of us .
Think of the most terrifying sci-film you ’ ve ever watched and that still doesn ’ t go anywhere near it .
And the worst thing is that it is sold to us as some kind of ‘ progressive ’ vision.Instead , Schwab and Malleret want a world changed forever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only ‘ mild ’ compared to others in history .
Covid-19 is seen as the catalyst for the ‘ Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ .
Although Johnson didn ’ t use the phrase ‘ The Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ , he did mention a ‘ Green Industrial Revolution ’ twice .
… Johnson foresees a future in which every home in Britain relies on wind power ( he certainly produces a lot of that ) , and “ instead of being dragged on big commutes to the city ” people can “ start a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up their children in the neighbourhoods where they grew up themselves.

If you take a look at the ‘ founding partners ’ of the WEF ’ s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution you ’ ll see names such as Microsoft , Palantir , Facebook , Netflix and Gavi , The Vaccine Alliance , founded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Yes , that ’ s right , hi-tech online giants and hi-tech multi-billionaires supporting a big shift towards a stay-at-home , ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The UK Prime Minister ’ s remote speech to his party conference saw him dismiss the idea of returning to normality .
Is he using Covid-19 to follow the World Economic Forum ’ s ‘ Great Reset ’ agenda , as many have warned ?
‘ It ’ s not really about public health or a virus .
They have another agenda.
’ That ’ s what the so-called ‘ conspiracy theorists ’ have been saying since March , when the first British lockdowns were imposed and our lives were turned upside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were denounced , as always , as ‘ cranks ’ and ‘ flat-Earthers ’ but here we are in October , and , let ’ s face it , there is absolutely no sign , despite very low numbers of deaths ‘ with ’ Coronavirus , that we are returning to anything like normal .
In fact , in his keynote speech yesterday , Prime Minister Boris Johnson specifically ruled out a return to normal , not even with a vaccine .
“ After all we have been through , it isn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normal .
We have lost too much .
History teaches us that things of this magnitude – wars , famines , plagues , events that affect the vast bulk of humanity , as this virus has – they do not just come and go .

They too , like Johnson , invoked the Second World War as the trigger for fundamental changes , not only to the global order and global economy , but to society and the way human beings interact with one another .

” As to where all this is heading , I recommend you read @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and his earlier ‘ The Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ , but please don ’ t do so late at night , because they will probably give you nightmares .
Schwab ’ s elitist Davos-man utopia is a trans-human , socially distanced , utterly soulless dystopia for the rest of us .
Think of the most terrifying sci-film you ’ ve ever watched and that still doesn ’ t go anywhere near it .
And the worst thing is that it is sold to us as some kind of ‘ progressive ’ vision.Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ changed forever by a virus which they admit is only ‘ mild ’ compared to others in history .
Covid-19 is seen as the catalyst for the ‘ Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ .
Johnson , in his speech yesterday , showed he ’ s a fully-signed up ‘ Great Resetter ’ .
It was , for me , the most chilling oration ever made by any British prime minister at a party conference .
The man who justified a national lockdown in March on a purely temporary three-week basis to ‘ flatten the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NHS ’ , and who said in the summer , after the lockdown had lasted three months , that he hoped Britain would return to ‘ significant normality ’ by November , now tells us : “ We have been through too much frustration and hardship just to settle for the status quo ante – to think that life can go on as it was before the plague ; and it will not… We are resolving not to go back to 2019.
” For Johnson , using the globalists ’ phrase ‘ Build @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time to launch Britain on the ‘ Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ .
“ From internet shopping to working from home , it looks as though Covid has massively accelerated changes in the world of work… as old jobs are lost and as new ones are created… The Covid crisis is a catalyst for change… ” he said .
Did Schwab actually write his speech ?
It looks like it .
Although Johnson didn ’ t use the phrase ‘ The Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ , he did mention a ‘ Green Industrial Revolution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which every home in Britain relies on wind power ( he certainly produces a lot of that ) , and “ instead of being dragged on big commutes to the city ” people can “ start a business in their home town… and bring up their children in the neighbourhoods where they grew up themselves.
” Working from home is here to stay , with “ gigabit broadband , ” shopping from home , conferencing from home… in fact , let ’ s do everything from home .
Who needs to meet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ d be anywhere to meet , with pubs , cinemas and theatres all closed down due to the never-ending coronavirus restrictions .
Johnson pledged to make Britain “ the greatest place on Earth ” but to me it sounds more like hell .
The question , as ever , is who benefits ?
ALSO ON RT.COMBoris Johnson ’ s £100bn Operation Moonshot needs to be shot down – fastThe World Economic Forum , founded by Schwab , has been incredibly influential when it comes to the changes we ’ ve already seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ openly planned for the future .
It was the WEF which co-hosted the ‘ Event 201 ’ conference in New York in October 2019 , which modelled a fictional global pandemic .
It was at the WEF ’ s annual meeting in Davos on January 24 , 2020 that Bill Gates ’ Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovations ( CEPI ) held a press conference to announce a ‘ new partnership ’ to develop vaccines for the virus , when the number of confirmed worldwide cases was still in the hundreds .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declared in June : “ The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect , reimagine and reset our world.
” It was the WEF that in July was promoting a Covid-19 ‘ Health Passport ’ app , the ‘ brainchild ’ of one of its ‘ Young Global Leaders ’ , as the future for travel and attending events .
And for those who don ’ t have the app or a ‘ negative ‘ test result ?
Well , you can just stay at home .
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partners ’ of the WEF ’ s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution you ’ ll see names such as Microsoft , Palantir , Facebook , Netflix and Gavi , The Vaccine Alliance , founded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Yes , that ’ s right , hi-tech online giants and hi-tech multi-billionaires supporting a big shift towards a stay-at-home , ‘ do everything on the Internet ’ society .
Is it a ‘ conspiracy theory ’ to say that Covid-19 is being used as a convenient opportunity to introduce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when those pushing for such changes like Schwab openly talk of there being a “ rare but narrow window ” for a major ‘ reset ’ ?
Actually , after Johnson ’ s speech yesterday , the biggest ‘ conspiracy theorists ’ now are those who DON ’ T think the British government is working to another agenda .

( Reuters ) – Teen climate-change fighter Greta Thunberg on Saturday showed support for Democrat Joe Biden , urging voters concerned about the environment to make their voices heard in the U.S. presidential election .
The Swedish 17-year-old said in a tweet that she never engages in party politics , but that “ the upcoming US elections is above and beyond all that ” .
“ From a climate perspective it ’ s very far from enough and many of you of course supported other candidates .
But , I mean…you know…damn !
Just get organized and get everyone to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Thunberg , who sparked a global climate protest movement after striking outside the Swedish parliament in 2018 , could encourage participation among younger voters who are typically less likely to vote than older Americans .
After Thunberg was named Time Magazine ’ s Person of the Year in 2019 , U.S President Donald Trump mocked the teen activist , tweeting she needed to “ work on her anger management problem , then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend ” .
Trump also sarcastically commented on Thunberg ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last year , in which she angrily denounced world leaders for failing to tackle climate change by demanding : “ How dare you ?

At 65 , Joe Bastardi is one of the most experienced meteorologists in the world today .
His knowledge of past major events puts into perspective the extreme weather events seen today , that are nothing new , and in fact , not as severe as before .
In a new book , The Weaponization of Weather in The Phony Climate War , Bastardi goes in-depth to document naturally occurring climate and weather events to question those whose agenda it is to weaponize each weather event for the pursuit of a political and social aim .
Pat Robertson talks with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War , on Monday ’ s 700 Club .
Of course , the climate is changing , and with the many natural influencers constantly in play , it always will .
Thanks to an ever-fluctuating level of activity in the large natural drivers that have always controlled it , such as our Sun , the oceans , stochastic events , and the very design of the system itself , climate change is natural .
“ A single attribution to man as the climate control knob @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if not a stretch .
The reader should at least look at the ideas presented here , ” said Bastardi .
Joe understands the fear today , given what has been nothing short of public indoctrination .
His new book offers an environmentally friendly and inexpensive solution to alleviate those fears , that will not destroy the economic lifeline of this nation as the Green New Deal surely will .
It begins with removing the fear that has been pushed to create what is becoming irrational panic , especially with our young @

Pope in TED talk: Earth cannot be squeezed ‘like an orange’ – Issues new climate tipping point:’ We have just a few years…roughly fewer than 30′

VATICAN CITY ( AP ) — Pope Francis on Saturday issued an urgent call to action to defend the planet and help the poor in his second TED talk .
The pontiff , known for his affinity for social media and technology , said in a videotaped message to a TED conference on climate change that the coronavirus pandemic had put a focus on the social-environmental challenge facing the globe .
“ Science tells us , every day with more precision , that it is necessary to act with urgency — I am not exaggerating , science tell us this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hope of avoiding radical changes in the climate and catastrophes , ” Francis said , looking directly in the camera as he looked up from his prepared remarks .
He set as a goal for the next decade constructing a world capable of responding to current generations , “ without compromising the possibilities of the future generations.
” He framed his call with references to his 2015 encyclical on climate change , “ Laudato Si , ” ( Be Praised ) and the more recent “ Fratelli tutti ” ( Brothers All ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Francis laid out three paths of action : promoting education about the environment “ based on scientific data and an ethical approach , ” assuring drinking water and an adequate food supply through sustainable agriculture and promoting the transformation from fossil fuels to clean energy sources .
“ We have just a few years — scientists calculate roughly fewer than 30 — to drastically reduce the emissions of gas and the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere , ” the pope said , adding that the transition needs to take into account the impact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who work in the energy sector .
He called on investors to exclude companies that do not taking into account the environment , as have many faith-based organizations already have .
“ In fact , the earth must be taken care of , cultivated and protected ; we can not continue to squeeze it like an orange .
And we can say this , taking care of the Earth is a human right , ” Francis said .

Davos 2021 will launch its own Green New Deal .
Be afraid .
By Maurice Newman – Former advisor to Aussie PM A lasting side-effect of Covid-19 is the universal growth of state power .
Despite global death rates peaking last April and immunity building even without a vaccine , authoritarian leaders are clinging to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they view individual freedom as an optional extra not an inalienable right and want their new powers to become a normal part of governing .
The Victorian government is legislating to that effect .
Ironically , it was their gross incompetence , or deliberate intent , which gave them the present commanding heights .
First , despite clear evidence of Covid ’ s virulence , the World Health Organisation kowtowed to Beijing by playing down the risks of infection .
Then , when the spread threatened the capacity of global medical resources , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ citizens into submission and to justify enforceable , draconian lockdowns imposed without regard for basic rights or economic cost .
Much of the ‘ expert ’ advice relied upon has since been exposed as politically biased , not scientifically based .
The response to Covid follows closely the approach taken by global warming activists .
But as Prince Charles puts it , ‘ The threat of climate-change has been more gradual ( than the pandemic ) — but its devastating reality for many people and their livelihoods around the world , and its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even that of Covid-19 ’ .
He argues we have ‘ a golden opportunity to seize something good from the crisis ’ .
The World Economic Forum , a Geneva-based non-profit foundation whose ranks include Prince Charles and other climate change crusaders like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg , together with the secretary general of the United Nations , the president of the European Central Bank , the secretary-general of the OECD , the managing director of the IMF , George Soros , world trade union leaders , chief executives of Big Tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WWF , believes climate action must be top of the global agenda as we emerge from Covid-19 .
The Forum ’ s founder and executive chair , Klaus Schwab , also believes ‘ The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect , reimagine , and reset our world ’ .
‘ All aspects of our societies and economies must be revamped , from education , to social contracts and working conditions.
’ He labels this the ‘ Great Reset ’ .
He points to uneven access to healthcare , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as to growing inequality among and within nations and racial and ethnic groups .
At the centre of these multiple crises lies the tension between privilege and meritocracy .
Governments will need to intervene more , ( coerce ) to ensure ‘ better ’ and ‘ fairer outcomes ’ from private investments .
‘ In short , ’ he says , ‘ we need a Great Reset of capitalism.
’ Much of the WEF ’ s agenda can be found in America ’ s radical Left ’ s Green New Deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inequality .
It embraces the spirit of Franklin D. Roosevelt ’ s New Deal and the social and economic reforms which he introduced to lift the US out of the Great Depression .
However , unlike the New Deal , the Great Reset and the Green New Deal share a belief that the world is being governed by fundamentally wrong assumptions and that ‘ dramatic transformation is possible with a change of mindset ’ .
Already , Professor Schwab and his colleagues have started mobilising vast networks of left-wing activists .
Indeed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the WEF ’ s thousands strong Global Shapers Community , youth crusaders located in 400 cities across the planet .
As Schwab says , ‘ The changes we have already seen in response to Covid-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible .
This is our best chance to instigate stakeholder capitalism ’ .
Those who scoffed at claims that climate change was a stalking horse for a new world order , should think again .
That reality is now in full view Come January 2021 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will begin in earnest .
Should his ideological opponent , US President Donald Trump , not be re-elected , a major obstacle to achieving his societal and economic revamp will be gone .
Schwab is determined that a return to a post-Covid business-as-usual world ‘ will not happen ’ .
Indeed , the World Economic Forum , the United Nations and its various agencies will use the current depressed economic environment , masked as it is by endless government support , together with renewed forecasts of apocalyptic climate change , to push for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a decarbonised economy and a ‘ control without ownership ’ business sector , where companies ‘ serve all stakeholders not just shareholders ’ .
Intense pressure will be applied to parliaments everywhere to pass enabling laws and to abdicate more responsibilities to unelected bureaucrats in global institutions .
Crony capitalism is anathema to genuine market economies and , giving more leverage to those who encourage it is simply fascistic .
No surprise that some of the organisations behind the ‘ stakeholder capitalism ’ push are accused of corruption , sexual harassment , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power .
Still , the WEF ’ s oligarchy derives much of its extraordinary influence and wealth from these same institutions and no one should doubt their Big Brother intentions .
Indeed , anyone who fears big government and values free speech , freedom to choose and property rights , should be terrified .
Yet , so far , political , business and church leaders , along with the mainstream media , seem oblivious to the threat and turn blind eyes to the dictatorial abuses already perpetrated in the name of the pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policies which , two decades ago , would have been considered politically and economically unthinkable .
Stripped of the propaganda , the Great Reset is not new .
It ’ s another fascist experiment being pushed by controlling elitists .

Media in horror: Claim skeptical ‘climate falsehoods reached millions on Facebook’ – Media claims ‘denialists’ are ‘microtargeting older white men more susceptible to climate disinformation’

`` Facebook allows these ads to go out under the radar and to have potentially devastating effects within the target population before anyone who knows what they 're talking about [ and ] has any chance to respond and point out that what 's being spread is a pack of lies , '' Whitehouse said .
Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-Mass . )
, pledged to take action against the company if it does not do more to stop the reach of climate falsehoods .
Warren said the company must be held accountable for its role in the climate crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Facebook lets climate deniers spread dangerous junk to millions of people . ''
`` We have repeatedly asked Facebook to close the loopholes that allow misinformation to run rampant on its platform , but its leadership would rather make a quick buck while our planet burns , sea levels rise , and communities — disproportionately Black and Brown — suffer , '' she said in a statement .
Claim : `` Climate denial groups are exploiting Facebook in the months before the election to reach new audiences by microtargeting older white men more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little as $ 300 the groups can reach more than 1 million . ''
Climate denial groups have used Facebook to spread disinformation to millions of people in the lead-up to the 2020 elections , according to a new report .
And they did it on the cheap .
The report by InfluenceMap , a London-based nonprofit that tracks climate lobbying , highlighted 51 climate disinformation ads that ran this year on Facebook .
They found the ads were targeted to older men in rural areas and that they were viewed an estimated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost of $ 42,000 .
InfluenceMap tracked nine groups that spread climate disinformation : PragerU , the Texas Public Policy Foundation , the CO2 Coalition , Turning Point USA , the Capital Research Center , the Clear Energy Alliance , the Washington Policy Center , the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy .
One of those groups , the CO2 Coalition , has told E & E News that it is using Facebook to reach an audience outside conservative media .
The findings prompted an outcry from Sen. Sheldon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ longtime climate activist .
He told E & E News that Facebook is “ somewhere between complicit and helpless ” in stopping the spread of climate disinformation .
“ This is the company in the last election that didn ’ t have any bells ring when political ads were being paid for in Russian rubles , so their capacity to make appalling , dumb decisions is pretty robust , and in this case they failed to screen out fraudulent propaganda , ” Whitehouse said .
The InfluenceMap analysis also provided a window into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to win over , in this case older white men .
Broadly , the Facebook ads were targeted more to men across all age groups .
They had the highest number of views per person in Texas and Wyoming .
The price was right , too .
For example , it cost three groups a little more than $ 1,000 to reach more than 2 million people with false claims , the group found .
In April , Turning Point USA paid less than $ 300 for an ad that said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” It reached more than a million people , according to Facebook ad data .
The Texas Public Policy Foundation , which has several former staffers in the Trump administration , spent less than $ 100 to reach up to 500,000 people with an ad that stated : “ Hurricane season is here .
Think manmade climate change is going to make severe weather worse ?
Think again.
” PragerU paid less than $ 700 to reach more than a million followers with the message that politicians and environmentalists are only in it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The ads are in line with the general strategy of these groups , which is to muddy the public ’ s understanding of climate change .
The InfluenceMap research shows the groups are trying to sow doubt around the institutions that conduct research on climate change , said Dylan Tanner , executive director of InfluenceMap .
The company set up climate science information centers to connect users with accurate climate research , a Facebook spokeswoman said .
“ We prohibit ads that include claims debunked by third-party fact checkers and we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We work to reduce the spread of climate misinformation on Facebook and we recently launched a Climate Science Information Centre to connect people with factual information from the world ’ s leading climate organizations , ” Facebook spokeswoman Devon Kearns said in a statement .
This isn ’ t the first time Facebook has faced criticism for its role in spreading climate disinformation .
In June , E & E News reported on a loophole the company created for climate denialist groups to avoid fact checks as long as the message was characterized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
Outside groups used contacts inside the company to strike down multiple fact checks , which were conducted by the company ’ s own fact-checking network .
Lawmakers , including Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-Mass . )
, have pledged to take action against the company if it does not do more to stop the reach of climate falsehoods .
Warren said the company must be held accountable for its role in the climate crisis and that the report “ reveals how Facebook lets climate deniers spread dangerous junk to millions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Facebook to close the loopholes that allow misinformation to run rampant on its platform , but its leadership would rather make a quick buck while our planet burns , sea levels rise , and communities — disproportionately Black and Brown — suffer , ” she said in a statement .
The InfluenceMap research shows that climate disinformation ads from PragerU ran for weeks after Facebook committed itself to a crackdown on climate science disinformation — including as recently as a few days ago .
The reach of climate denial groups is also potentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The sample of groups analyzed by InfluenceMap did not include other groups that routinely sow climate falsehoods , such as the Heartland Institute , Cato Institute and Daily Caller News Foundation .

The World Health Organization has warned leaders against relying on COVID-19 lockdowns to tackle outbreaks — after previously saying countries should be careful how quickly they reopen .
WHO envoy Dr. David Nabarro said such restrictive measures should only be treated as a last resort , the British magazine the Spectator reported in a video interview .
“ We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus , ” Nabarro said .
“ The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your health workers who are exhausted , but by and large , we ’ d rather not do it.
” Nabarro said tight restrictions cause significant harm , particularly on the global economy .
“ Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never , ever belittle , and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer , ” he said .
He added that lockdowns have severely impacted countries that rely on tourism .
“ Just look at what ’ s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people aren ’ t taking their holidays , ” Nabarro told the outlet .
“ Look what ’ s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world .
Look what ’ s happening to poverty levels .
It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year .
We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.
” The UN agency previously warned countries against lifting lockdowns too soon during the first wave of the virus .

A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 , even for those people who consistently wear them .
A study conducted in the United States in July found that when they compared 154 “ case-patients , ” who tested positive for COVID-19 , to a control group of 160 participants from the same health care facility who were symptomatic but tested negative , over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “ always ” wearing a mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illness onset , 71 % of case-patients and 74 % of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public , ” the report stated .
In addition , over 14 percent of the case-patients said they “ often ” wore a face covering and were still infected with the virus .
The study also demonstrates that under 4 percent of the case-patients became sick with the virus even though they “ never ” wore a mask or face covering .
Despite over 70 percent of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommendations by committing to always wearing face coverings at “ gatherings with ≤10 or > 10 persons in a home ; shopping ; dining at a restaurant ; going to an office setting , salon , gym , bar/coffee shop , or church/religious gathering ; or using public transportation , ” they still contracted the virus .
While the study notes that some of these people may have contracted the virus from the few moments that they removed their mask to eat or drink at “ places that offer on-site eating or drinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no successful way to evaluate if that was the exact moment someone became exposed and contracted the virus .
“ Characterization of community exposures can be difficult to assess when widespread transmission is occurring , especially from asymptomatic persons within inherently interconnected communities , ” the report states .
In fact , the report suggests that “ direction , ventilation , and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission , even if social distancing measures and mask use are implemented according to current guidance.
” Despite this new scientific information , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci , and many political authorities are still encouraging people to wear masks .
Many states and cities have even mandated masks , citing them as one of the main tools to “ slow the spread ” of coronavirus and keep case numbers in their area down .

Meet the ‘Collapsologists’: ‘Pockets of anti-capitalists & environmentalists are preparing for the end of civilisation – or even humanity itself‘ – ‘We could disappear’

Michel Rosell gathers up a mass of papers and divides them into two piles .
On the left are bills : a single sheet .
On the right is a sheaf of letters from friends and lovers .
“ If the pile of letters is growing faster than the pile of bills , you ’ re on the right track , ” says Rosell .
“ If it ’ s the other way round , you ’ re on the wrong track .
It ’ s not that hard , the revolution I ’ m proposing.
” We are sitting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ table beneath a ceiling made of braided ribbons of wood , in Rosell ’ s house in the Cévennes , a mountain range in the south of France .
Rosell looks like someone who has been fighting a revolution for half a century : untamed white hair , bare chest and feet , grubby black tracksuit bottoms .
A weatherbeaten Robinson Crusoe , still hale and eager to take on cannibals – or capitalists – at 73 .
He has lived here , far from any road or other habitation , since the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , breathless and bloodied , from the 1968 student uprisings in Paris .
Many of his rebel comrades urged a return to a simpler life , but few enacted it .
He found a remote plot in the least densely populated region of France and built a bioclimatic home on it ; that is , a house with low energy requirements and a light environmental footprint .
He hoarded rainwater , composted , recycled his waste water and heated his house with firewood and solar panels .
Not for him salaried work , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days of prostitution followed by two days of resuscitation ” .
He preferred to take what he needed – and no more – from nature .
On the day I visit , he shows me a shallow pool filled with electric-green water , in which he grows the protein-rich algae spirulina : delicious , he says , with olive oil and garlic .
It complements a diet rich in wild plants : 70 species altogether , which he gathers from the forest .
Rosell currently lives alone .
He does not believe in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says , but people passed through .
Some came out of curiosity , and left again ; others moved in .
He taught those who were interested how to live as self-sufficiently as possible .
Young people bold enough to venture to his University of Applied Collective Ecology built walls out of crushed sunflowers and cow dung , motors that ran on seaweed , and reed beds that transformed sewage into drinking water .
It was emphatically experimental , and it did not always work .
But his approach , dismissed as eccentric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to generations fearful that humanity had damaged the planet beyond repair , then urgent to the growing number of his compatriots who feel that their society is on the verge of collapse .
The belief that we are heading for some kind of all-consuming crisis is not exclusively French , of course .
Serious scientists all over the world are discussing it .
Wealthy Americans were buying spots in Armageddon-proof bunkers long before Covid-19 , and militant environmental and social protest movements have been on the rise everywhere .
Within Europe , however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the left-leaning French thinktank the Jean Jaurès Foundation found that only Italy beat France for pessimism about the future .
Seventy-one per cent of Italians and 65 % of French people agreed with the statement that “ civilisation as we know it will collapse in the years to come ” ; 56 % of Brits shared that apocalyptic vision – slightly ahead of Americans , at 52 % – while Germans came in last with a sanguine 39 % .
In 2015 , two Frenchmen , Pablo Servigne and Raphaël Stevens , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an essay entitled How Everything Can Collapse , in which they introduced the term “ collapsology ” .
In a long interview Servigne gave to Philosophie magazine this year , he explained that , at first , their neologism was tongue-in-cheek .
The concept must have struck a chord , though , because within a couple of years he found himself at the head of a movement , and this summer the word collapsologie entered the popular French dictionary Le Petit Robert .
“ We created a monster , ” Servigne told Philosophie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jaurès study , the political scientist Jérôme Fourquet and the pollster Jean-Philippe Dubrulle , collapsology is driven at least in part by economic factors .
The least apocalyptically minded country they polled , Germany , also has ( or had , pre-Covid-19 ) the strongest economy , while the countries where the movement has the largest following – Italy and France – are those where economic performance has been poorest of late , and social and political tensions run high .
They deliberately left their statement vague as to the causes of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries think differently about these .
In Britain and Germany , the emphasis is on the climate crisis , as seen in the emergence of Extinction Rebellion in the UK .
But in France , where they overlap to some extent with the gilets jaunes movement , collapsologists also consider society to be sick .
The idea is that rampant consumerism , ever-accelerating technological advances and the dominance of neoliberalism are leading French people to perdition .

Salon Mag: ‘From pandemics to climate change, the real problem is capitalism itself’ – ‘A system that has devastated our planet’

If only it were so .
The truth is that the ailment afflicting America is capitalism , and the difference between the two parties is that the Democrats will only describe some of the symptoms but refuse to provide an honest diagnosis , while the Republicans outright defend the disease .
Most of the major problems with America , and the world , can be traced back to the singular cause of capitalism , an economic system in which a society ’ s means of production are primarily controlled by private individuals hoping to make a profit .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the point where it may soon be largely uninhabitable , created massive income inequality and left us woefully unprepared for crises like the novel coronavirus pandemic .
We can start with the last item on that list , the coronavirus pandemic .
Because capitalist systems require perpetual consumption and growth to maintain prosperity , any little hiccup in the ability of most industries to stay profitable causes the whole economy to crash .
This is why , despite the economy doing relatively well prior to the mandatory shutdowns in March , whole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once the pandemic forced people to shelter in place .
If America had a universal basic income in place — that is , a monthly amount of money guaranteed to every citizen to keep each one above the poverty line — ordinary people would have had at least been able to stave off desperate poverty during these trying times .
The same is true of the eviction epidemic : Although Trump has announced a mostly symbolic eviction moratorium , he has refused to implement the real thing , and as a result millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thrown out of their homes… assuming that has not already happened to them .
Yet on a deeper level , the problem with capitalism is that it is built on the need for private enterprises to make money , no matter what .
During a pandemic in which everyone will ultimately require some kind of medical care — for some to treat the disease , for others to be vaccinated once a vaccine becomes available — the need for corporate profit clashes with the needs of the general public .
“ There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — by which I mean , a system of private enterprises owned and operated by shareholders , families , individuals producing for a profit and the ordering about of the majority of people involved in every enterprise or the employees — that system is uniquely incapable of securing public health , ” Dr. Richard D. Wolff , the professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst , told Salon earlier this month .
“ And since public health is a basic demand , a need of human communities , this represents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to spell it out just briefly : it is not profitable for a private , profit-driven competitive capitalist to produce masks by the millions , or gloves , or ventilators , or hospital beds , or all the rest of them.
” Wolff noted that the government is entirely capable of stepping in and filling a void left by the private sector when a given industry deems this to be in its best interest .
This is what happens , for example , with the military-industrial complex .
A similar dynamic is at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that most immediately threatens the survival of our species — climate change .
2020 saw some of the worst wildfires in recorded history on the American west coast because humanity has artificially warmed the planet through emission of greenhouse gases .
A report by the World Wildlife Foundation identified global warming as the primary culprit for the cataclysmic decline in animal population sizes , with a 68 percent drop being recorded among “ mammals , birds , amphibians , reptiles and fish ” since 1970 .
If global warming is not brought under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expect a world in which “ a large part of the planet will become unlivable ( either too hot or too dry ) , ” Penn State climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann told Salon in 2018 .
“ More and more of the available land surface will be used for agriculture and farming to feed a growing global population .
That means more concentrated human settlement—and probably a lot more conflict , ” Mann added .
His colleague , Dr. Kevin Trenberth of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research , also predicted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ water become major issues with costs and shortages.
” If it ’ s so clear what ’ s happening , why doesn ’ t humanity take the steps necessary to fight climate change ?
In the words of Ted Morgan , a professor emeritus of political science at Lehigh University : “ The vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions are produced by the world ’ s developed capitalist economies , with China and the US leading the way.
” He added that “ each of the capitalist powers is loathe to weaken its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capitalist economies .
In a capitalist world , each economic unit must act to protect what it deems its own interests .
The only counterweight comes from the public sector.
” Yet government authorities are reluctant to aggressively curtail capitalist industries that emit greenhouse gases — from the fossil fuel industry and big agriculture to those that cut down rainforests — because they are “ constrained by the fear that pushing public interests too far will cause capital flight , thereby undermining its viability .
And , of course , corporations and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — nowhere more than in the US.
” That term , “ capital flight , ” is absolutely critical here .
Under capitalist systems , companies that do not like potential government regulations often have the right to threaten to close up shop or move their businesses elsewhere , in the process taking away people ’ s jobs and hurting local economies .
This is known as a “ capital strike ” and it has been used since the Industrial Revolution to do everything from get tax breaks from the state and break @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business magnates oppose , particularly when they help workers ’ rights .
The state of facts and evidence proves that capitalism is condemning millions upon millions to hopeless poverty , rendering us incapable of effectively coping with manageable problems like a pandemic and literally destroying the planet .
Unless that reality becomes part of our mainstream political discourse , humanity is doomed .

The ‘Great Reset’: Rule by Unelected ‘Experts’ – COVID-Climate Technocracy has arrived  – ‘The danger of letting lab coats run the world’ – Special Report

The COVID-19 lockdowns and suspension of liberties have only emboldened climate campaigners to achieve their progressive vision of having “ the masses ” lives planned , monitored , and controlled for their “ safety ” — all in the name of “ science.
” The very real threat of oppressive rule by unelected experts in government is now threatening to engulf the world due to the ongoing COVID lockdowns and “ phased reopenings.
” “ If one lesson from the pandemic is that taking serious action in a timely manner is key – then shouldn ’ t this also be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” asked the Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle at G7 Speakers ’ Meeting in 2020 .
Speaker Hoyle was amazed at how “ compliant ” the public was in accepting COVID lockdowns “ No-one could ever imagine that we would be wearing masks so readily and that we would all be so compliant , ” he said .
“ People were prepared to accept limitations on personal choice and lifestyle – for the good of their own family and friends.
” Hoyle claimed that the climate “ tragedy is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis is not simply an external threat , but one in which we have had a clear hand ” .
He said : “ In other words , it seems that we have brought this on ourselves .
While this is again sobering , surely , it is in our hands to rescue it , if we have got the will to do it ?
” The “ will to do it ” means the public has to prepare for climate lockdowns since they were so “ compliant ” in accepting the COVID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politicians and bureaucrats are a grave threat to liberty .
The COVID lockdowns are being hailed by climate activists across the spectrum as a model for the coming climate lockdowns .
Former Secretary of State John Kerry noted that “ the parallels [ between COVID-19 and climate change ] are screaming at us , both positive and negative.
” “ You could just as easily replace the words climate change with COVID-19 ; it is truly the tale of two pandemics deferred , denied , and distorted , one with catastrophic consequences , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we don ’ t reverse course , ” Kerry said .
French President Emmanuel Macron while warning citizens to stay confined to their homes during COVID-19 lockdown , urged : “ We must all limit the number of people with who we ’ re in contact with every single day .
Scientists say so.
” And the reason ?
Because “ scientists say so.
” The COVID lockdowns and the attempt to impose a Green New Deal upon the USA herald another step into what is being called “ scientism ” that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Technocracy ” can be defined as the public ’ s acquiesce to a governing body composed of an elite cadre of unelected technical experts who are positioned to call the shots and manage society .
“ The lockdown and its consequences have brought a foretaste of what is to come : a permanent state of fear , strict behavioral control , massive loss of jobs , and growing dependence on the state , ” German Economic Professor Antony P. Mueller explained in August 2020 .
“ This coming technocracy involves close cooperation between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of governments .
With programs such as guaranteed minimum income and healthcare for all , the new kind of governance combines strict societal control with the promise of comprehensive social justice , ” Mueller wrote .
“ Earlier totalitarian regimes needed mass executions and concentration camps to maintain their power .
Now , with the help of new technologies , it is believed , dissenters can easily be identified and marginalized .
The nonconformists will be silenced by disqualifying divergent opinions as morally despicable , ” Mueller detailed .
Mueller added , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reset , the advancement of technology is not meant to serve the improvement of the conditions of the people but to submit the individual to the tyranny of a technocratic state .
‘ The experts know better ’ is the justification.
” As C.S .
Lewis warned decades ago : “ I dread government in the name of science .
That is how tyrannies come in.
” Lewis explained : “ I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects .
Let scientists tell us about sciences .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ for man , and justice , and what things are worth having at what price ; and on these a scientific training gives a man ’ s opinion no added value.
” Teen school skipper Greta Thunberg has urged the world to “ start listening to the science ” and “ unite behind the science.
” But just which scientists and what “ science ” should we be listening to ?
In the age of COVID lockdowns and a pending Green New Deal , author Thomas Sowell ’ s insights are more valuable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called in , not to provide factual information or dispassionate analysis for the purpose of decision-making by responsible officials , but to give political cover for decisions already made and based on other considerations entirely , ” Sowell wrote .
Or another name for it is : Science manipulated to support preconceived policies .
We were warned about being ruled over by scientists and experts .
In President Dwight D. Eisenhower ’ s Farewell Address in 1961 , he bluntly warned that “ public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity ” and “ the prospect of domination of the nation ’ s scholars by Federal employment , project allocations , and the power of money is ever-present and is gravely to be regarded.
” “ We must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite , ” Eisenhower added .
President Eisenhower continued : “ Today , the solitary inventor , tinkering in his shop , has been overshadowed by task @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fields .
In the same fashion , the free university , historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery , has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research .
Partly because of the huge costs involved , a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.
” 2020 became the year that Eisenhower ’ s warning about a “ scientific-technological elite ” became a very obvious reality in America .
COVID and climate morphed into two sides of the same coin as COVID lockdowns achieved many of the same goals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ central planning , loss of individual freedom , economic pain , obedience to authority , and weakened national sovereignty – all happening in a virtual blink of the eye .
Health care journalist Peter Barry Chowka was blunt , calling the COVID/Climate “ solution ” linkage “ a flu d ’ état.
” “ A takeover of our supposedly democratic political process by unelected & unaccountable administrative state medical bureaucrats , ” Chowka warned , noting that all of the COVID solutions were virtually the same as the Green New Deal “ solutions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ Overnight , our society is doing what radical leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) and her fellow Green New Deal fanatics have demanded : An almost total end to air travel ; personal automobile travel down to a trickle ; promises of free health care for all quickly becoming the new status quo ; and the ability of people to sit at home without working and receive a paycheck from the government .
The Democrats want that to continue indefinitely , ” Chowka wrote .
The U.S. is entering into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of letting lab coats run the world ” is palpable .
“ It should be clear by now that most of the world ’ s leaders were stampeded over the lockdown cliff like so many lemmings .
What caused the stampede is even more remarkable : a tiny coterie of obscure , soft-spoken epidemiologists in white lab coats playing with numbers…the aim was to cause panic , ” wrote Bill Dunne in American Thinker .
“ We were plunged into the grandest of experiments in authoritarian paternalism , whereby we plebeians — i.e.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ deemed incompetent to judge if it ’ s safe to take a dip in the ocean or a walk in the woods .
We can , though , crowd into a Walmart or the local supermarket , ” Dunne wrote .
Former UK Supreme Court Judge Lord Sumption explained this well in 2020 : “ Do we really want to be the kind of society where basic freedoms are conditional on the decisions of politicians in thrall to scientists and statisticians ?
Where human beings are just tools of public policy ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life is priceless and nothing else counts is just empty rhetoric…There is more to life than the avoidance of death , ” he added .
“ To say that there are no limits is the stuff of tyrants .
Every despot who ever lived thought that he was coercing his subjects for their own good or that of society at large , ” he added .
“ A society in which the Government can confine most of the population without controversy is not one in which civilized people would want to live , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Is it worth it ?
” Sumption explained adding , “ The lockdown is , without doubt , the greatest interference with personal liberty in our history.
” Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski also slammed the COVID lockdowns and ripped the “ scientific studies ” funded to support government policy .
“ Shutting down schools , driving the economy against the wall – there was no reason for it , ” Wittkowski explained in a YouTube video .
For his honesty , Wittkowski was promptly banned from YouTube as were almost all lockdown dissenters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not have an open discussion , including economists , biologists , and epidemiologists , to hear different voices .
In Britain , it was the voice of one person – Neil Ferguson – who has a history of coming up with projections that are a bit odd .
The government did not convene a meeting with people who have different ideas , different projections , to discuss his projection , ” Wittkowski said .
Echoing the words of President Eisenhower in 1961 , Wittkowski said : Or another name for it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Eisenhower has been proven correct .
The public health bureaucracy and the climate community have become political lobbying organizations and they are using “ the science ” to support the preferred policies .
No researcher looking for government-funded research money would put their name on a study that was against the politically accepted views on COVID or climate .
In 2020 , the UN IPCC chief Hoesung Lee admitted — while discussing how “ the COVID-19 pandemic tells us that everything is connected ” — that the UN climate panel is all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goals .
“ Our [ IPCC ] assessment findings will strengthen the political will of the policymakers for immediate and concrete actions , ” Lee said on June 1 , 2020 .
Or another name for it is : Bending science to support the policy .
[ Also see : Watch : Gore admits UN IPCC report was ‘ torqued up ’ to promote political action – ‘ How else do they get the attention of policy-makers around the world ?
’ ] A bumper sticker promoted by progressives reads : “ Science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Economic Professor Antony P. Mueller explained how China ’ s methods are being employed in Western nations .
“ This new world order of digital tyranny comes with a comprehensive social credit system .
The People ’ s Republic of China is the pioneer of this method of surveillance and control of individuals , corporations , and sociopolitical entities , ” Mueller wrote .
“ It is , in short , a type of social engineering which is the opposite of a spontaneous order or of development .
Like the mechanical engineer with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ society as an object .
Different from the brutal suppressions by the totalitarianism of earlier times , the modern social engineer will try to make the social machine work on its own according to the design , ” Mueller analyzed .

“ This is not something that can be dealt with in one country , ” Brown said .
“ There has to be a coordinated global response.
” Briggs replied : “ Brown wants international organizations like the WHO and the UN to be given executive powers that would supersede national sovereignty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by world leaders and health experts.
” By ‘ temporary ’ Brown likely meant ‘ in perpetuity.
’ But seriously , who could have figured elites would use a crisis like this to increase their power ?
” Unelected health bureaucrats preside over the U.S. economy The Trump administration initially allowed the health bureaucracy and their failed COVID models to dictate the national policy narrative which led to the lockdowns .
Trump economic advisor Larry Kudlow said in April 2020 that it is “ up to the health people ” when the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
I don ’ t really want to forecast .
That is up to the health people.
, ” Kudlow said on Fox News .
Joe Biden said he would listen to the scientists and go along with a national lockdown to fight COVID .
“ Asked specifically whether he ’ d push to shutter economic activity if scientists said it was necessary , Biden replied : ‘ I would shut it down , ” ABC News reported .
The “ listen to the science ” narrative has been a very effective strategy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conservatives , and many dissenting scientists into silence or submissiveness when it comes to challenging COVID lockdown or climate change claims .
If you accept “ the science ” determines whether or not you are a good person , a smart person , or an evil science denier who deserves to be jailed and silenced according to our mainstream media , government officials , academia , and social media censors .
This “ listen to the science ” litmus test for climate change will be used to bully politicians into climate and COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID lockdowns grew , questions about the cost/benefit of lockdowns were raised .
Economist Sanjeev Sabhlok , resigned from his job in the Department of Treasury and Finance in Victoria Australia in September 2020 “ to protest the outrageous violations of liberty ” due to the COVID lockdowns .
“ Australia ’ s bureaucracy has performed as badly as the world ’ s worst bureaucracy during this pandemic .
No one offered any independent advice .
Comprehensive groupthink and incompetence have prevailed , ” he explained .
Scientists and politicians are “ panting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their total power over the people , ” he added .
“ This is like a mass scale bombing of one ’ s own economy , ” Sabhlok said , referring to lockdowns and phased reopenings .
Many UN climate supporters and Green New Deal proponents have endorsed the concept of “ planned recessions ” and economic “ degrowth ” for climate change .
The COVID lockdowns achieved those goals almost overnight .
“ The problem with science today is that it is effectively just another branch of government , ” Sabhlok @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unemployed in 5 weeks…Many people want this insanity to continue .
As far as I know , it has never happened in the history of civilizations that the bulk of a large enough nation , let alone the world , was kept at home for several months , ” Former Harvard University Physicist Dr. Lubos Motl wrote .
“ The precautionary principle has only been promoted as a meme since the 1970s when it appeared as the ‘ Vorsorgeprinzip ’ in German discussions about deforestation and sea pollution .
The precautionary principle is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make an absolutely irrational assumption – namely that some risks must be considered infinitely more critical than all other risks – sound more intelligent or maybe even scientific .
You are ‘ obliged ’ to do even things that actually make the public health conditions worse , ” Motl added .
Sabhlok believes Western nations need to build in civil liberty protections against future lockdowns .
“ This pandemic should lead to the rewriting of all textbooks in epidemiology and should lead to a law ( like they have in Sweden ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each individual , to restrain them at home for quarantine or lockdown , ” Sabhlok wrote .
Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com warned that the government response and suspension of liberty during COVID revealed “ the incompetent , corrupt and politicized public health bureaucracy…wants to create a precedent for permanent control of society via ‘ public health . '
” “ As with education , conservatives abandoned public health as a profession decades ago .
I don ’ t know any conservatives with expertise in public health .
We are now paying the price @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have ceded the field ( of public health ) to leftists who have only one tool — government crackdown .
All public health bureaucrats are Democrats and worse sorts of leftists , ” Milloy wrote .
“ We can still ‘ social distance ’ without devolving into a police state or destroying the economy.
” COVID and Climate Policy Following the Same Playbook “ Climate and COVID share the commonality of government control .
From electric car and fuel efficiency mandates to the entire economy busting Green New Deal , the ‘ benevolent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our lives , ” wrote Denver-based physician Dr. Brian C. Joondeph .
“ One can see numerous parallels between COVID and climate policy .
Both create fear , to a frenzy level , of the world ending , massive death and destruction , all due to a warming planet or an aggressive flu virus , ” he explained .
“ Question the dogma of either the virus or climate movement and prepare to have your life , if not disrupted , then ruined .
There is only one politically correct viewpoint on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ runs the website RealClimateScience.com summed up the twin threats of COVID lockdowns and climate “ solutions.
” “ Since independent thinking is a punishable offense in all government organizations , science is no longer about advancing the truth but about promoting politically preferred ideas , ” Heller wrote .
“ We have arrived at the end game .
Totalitarianism and economic depression .
And a compliant public which has begged for it to happen , ” Heller said .
2020 saw COVID and climate officially meld .
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change.
” Got that ?
A “ new impetus ” to fight “ climate change .
Remember , this is the same WHO organization that warned in 2018 that “ Climate change is the greatest health challenge of the 21st century , and threatens all aspects of the society in which we live.
” Climate activists Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope see COVID and climate as almost one and the same .
“ The overlaps between the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an opportunity for all of us here .
As awful as the coronavirus is , it is something of a test run for the challenges of a climate crisis that continues to accelerate , ” Hertsgaard and Pope wrote .
“ The similarities between the causes of and solutions to the coronavirus and the climate crisis are nothing short of eerie.
” In 2020 , the WHO ’ s director-general claimed , “ We can not go back to the way things were , ” adding “ the Covid-19 pandemic has given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it could be : cleaner skies and rivers.
” Consider yourself warned .
COVID & Climate – A marriage made in authoritarianism .
The morphing of the public health bureaucracy and the climate establishment is at hand .
Nothing good can come from this arranged marriage .
In June 2020 the chairman and founder of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland , called for “ a Great Reset of capitalism ” due to COVID and to help fight climate change .
Klaus Schwab said the virus has given us an “ opportunity ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The changes we have already seen in response to COVID-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible…The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies , from education to social contracts and working conditions , ” Schwab explained .
“ Every country , from the United States to China , must participate , and every industry , from oil and gas to tech , must be transformed .
In short , we need a ‘ Great Reset ’ of capitalism.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis ” go to waste , Schwab is all in on seizing this “ rare but narrow window of opportunity ” to shove to impose his “ solutions ” on the world .
( Also see : Salon Mag : ‘ From pandemics to climate change , the real problem is capitalism itself ’ – ‘ A system that has devastated our planet ’ ) UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared a Great Reset ” in 2020 and is seeking to use the lockdowns as a “ trigger for economic and social change.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ through , it isn ’ t enough just to go back to normal .
We have lost too much .
History teaches us that things of this magnitude – wars , famines , plagues , events that affect the vast bulk of humanity , as this virus has – they do not just come and go .
They can be the trigger for economic and social change , ” Johnson said in October .
Former Vice President Al Gore is also deeply involved in the “ Great Reset ” .
“ I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Great Reset , ’ ” Gore said .
“ We ’ ve got to fix a lot of these problems that have been allowed to fester for way too long , ” he added .
Gore trained activists were set to be featured at the World Economic Forum meeting in 2021 billed as a “ twin summit ” because it is featuring youth leaders trained at Gore ’ s Climate Reality Project .
“ Gore is deeply connected to the ‘ Great Reset ’ and will be closely involved with its rollout in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ StoppingSocialism.com and research fellow at the Heartland Institute wrote .
German Economic Professor Antony P. Mueller explained what is behind the “ Great Reset , ” noting , “ The ideology of the World Economic Forum is neither left nor right , nor progressive or conservative , it is also not fascist or communist , but outright technocratic .
As such , it includes many elements of earlier collectivist ideologies.
” “ The perpetrators of the new world order have smelled blood .
Declaring the coronavirus a pandemic has come in handy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Only massive opposition can slow down and finally stop the extension of the power grip of the tyrannical technocracy that is on the rise , ” Mueller wrote .
“ The World Economic Forum ’ s great reset project is social engineering at the highest level .
Advocates of the reset contend that the UN failed to establish order in the world and could not advance forcefully its agenda of sustainable development—known as Agenda 2030—because of its bureaucratic , slow , and contradictory way of working .
In contrast , the actions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Economic Forum are swift and smart .
When a consensus has been formed , it can be implemented by the global elite all over the world , ” he added .
Maurice Newman , a former advisor to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott issued a clarion call against a Great Reset .
“ Stripped of the propaganda , the Great Reset is not new .
It ’ s another fascist experiment being pushed by controlling elitists .
Economic growth and social mobility must be subordinate to the collective .
Connections will be institutionalized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children of the elites will receive preferential access to higher education and elite positions .
‘ Inclusion ’ and ‘ fairness ’ ?
Forget it .
Think inequality , serfdom and misery , ” Newman wrote in October 2020 .
Newman detailed just who is behind the Great Reset .
“ The World Economic Forum , a Geneva-based non-profit foundation whose ranks include Prince Charles and other climate change crusaders like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg , together with the secretary-general of the United Nations , the president of the European Central Bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the managing director of the IMF , George Soros , world trade union leaders , chief executives of Big Tech and representatives of NGOs like Greenpeace and WWF , believes climate action must be top of the global agenda as we emerge from Covid-19 , ” Newman wrote .
“ Much of the World Economic Forum ’ s agenda can be found in America ’ s radical Left ’ s Green New Deal , which addresses climate change and economic inequality , ” Newman added .
“ Indeed , anyone who fears big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to choose and property rights , should be terrified .
Yet , so far , political , business and church leaders , along with the mainstream media , seem oblivious to the threat and turn blind eyes to the dictatorial abuses already perpetrated in the name of the pandemic .
There is even bi-partisan support for policies which , two decades ago , would have been considered politically and economically unthinkable , ” Newman concluded .
Sky News TV broadcaster Alan Jones warned Australians were made “ prisoners in a so-called democracy ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this end ?
More importantly , what will the end look like ?
When will someone give us our lives back ?
We can look after our own health .
We ’ re not stupid .
We know how to look after ourselves .
We have been made prisoners in our so-called liberal democracy , ” Jones explained .
“ Freedoms taken from us , the very freedoms men and women died for .
We ’ re creating a dangerous environment here , perpetuating the view that governments have the answers — are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the problem and the disproportionate response , now reckon they have the answer ?
” Jones added .
“ Many greens , concerned that the masses may not follow orders , prefer the post-democratic method of handing over power to credentialed environmental “ experts ” operating in Washington , Brussels , or the United Nations , ” explained Joel Kotkin , a fellow at Chapman University and executive director of the Urban Reform Institute .
The white lab coats AKA , the unelected public health bureaucracies now directing social and economic policy around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many .
“ I am not one for melodramatic comparisons , but in seriousness , in what kind of country do people wake up and find that in the middle of the night a minister passed a law , without warning or Parliamentary approval , that bans them going to the pub with people they don ’ t live with ?
” asked human rights lawyer Adam Wagner .
Lockdowns happened almost overnight and remained in place with constantly moving goalposts of criteria for when they could be lifted .
Lockdowns that were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ democracy .
No votes by legislators or parliaments , but a complete deferral to the expertise of a credentialed class to formulate far-reaching policies at a whim .
Public health bureaucrats , who no one had ever previously known their names , are now wielding massive state powers to enforce every possible rule – ranging from quarantine , isolation , mask mandates , restrictions on weddings , funerals , barbeques , playgrounds , and even for how long you are able to leave your house and for what purpose .
And what if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these unelected health bureaucrats ?
Your friends , neighbors , or even family members could turn you into the authorities .
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti , in fact , encouraged citizens to report violates of the COVID stay at home orders with the phrase “ Snitches get rewards.
” Prof. Mariana Mazzucato of University College London issued a warning on Sept 22 , 2020 : “ In the near future , the world may need to resort to lockdowns again – this time to tackle a climate emergency.
” “ Under a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limit private-vehicle use , ban consumption of red meat , and impose extreme energy-saving measures , while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling .
To avoid such a scenario , we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently .
Many think of the climate crisis as distinct from the health and economic crises caused by the pandemic .
But the three crises – and their solutions – are interconnected , ” Mazzucato wrote .
“ The world is approaching a tipping point on climate change when protecting the future of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this scenario will require a green economic transformation – and thus a radical overhaul of corporate governance , finance , policy , and energy systems , ” Mazzucato added .
‘ One of the greatest transfers of wealth in history ’ Where are the Progressives outraged over the COVID lockdowns ?
!
The earnings of billionaires reached new highs during COVID-19 lockdowns .
“ Billionaire wealth reached record high levels amid the COVID-19 pandemic , a report by UBS and PwC found , as a rally in stock prices and gains in technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world ’ s richest break the $ 10 trillion mark , ” Reuters reported .
CNBC business analyst Jim Cramer reported that the lockdown ’ s led to “ one of the greatest wealth transfers in history.
” “ This is the first recession where big business … is coming through virtually unscathed , ” Cramer added .
During the 2020 COVID lockdowns , “ the world ’ s 500 richest people are a combined $ 813 billion richer now than they were at the beginning of the year , the Bloomberg Billionaires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doubled its profit to $ 5.2 Billion during the lockdowns as online shopping boomed .
And Amazon was not alone .
See : Tech giants ’ shares soar as companies benefit from Covid-19 pandemic — Amazon , Apple , Facebook and Google reported positive quarterly results even as overall US economic growth fell by 32.9 % .
The evidence of the massive redistribution of wealth to the elite classes was even too much for the World Health Organisation to let go noticed by the end of 2020 .
David Nabarro , World Health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lockdowns “ a terrible , ghastly global catastrophe ” in a recent interview with the UK Spectator .
“ Look what ’ s happening to poverty levels .
It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year .
Seems that we may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition because children are not getting meals at school and their parents , in poor families , are not able to afford it , ” Nabarro said .
“ We in the World Health Organization do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of control of this virus , ” Nabarro added .
“ The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize , regroup , rebalance your resources , protect your health workers who are exhausted , but by and large , we ’ d rather not do it , ” he continued .
“ Just look at what ’ s happened to the tourism industry , for example in the Caribbean or in the Pacific , because people aren ’ t taking their holidays .
Look what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the world because their markets have got dented , ” he added .
Say what you will about climate activists , but they are a quick study .
Seeing the scary and emotional daily COVID-19 death counts on television and all the media attention the viral fears received , inspired members of academia are seeking ways to copycat this technique in order to draw attention back to their pet climate cause .
Perhaps the wackiest story to evidence the jealousy exhibited by climate activists over COVID news coverage , were calls to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certificates as a cause of death .
In 2020 , academics in Australia demanded to add “ climate change ” as a “ pre-existing condition ” on death certificates .
“ Climate change is a killer , but we don ’ t acknowledge it on death certificates , ” co-author Dr. Arnagretta Hunter , from The Australian National University ( ANU ) Medical School , said .
The study was published in May 2020 in The Lancet Planetary Health .
“ Climate change is the single greatest health threat that we face globally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Dr. Hunter said .
But climate skeptics were having none of it .
Ron Clutz of Science Matters ridiculed the study : “ No doubt they noticed how powerful were the Covid19 death statistics in getting the public to comply with lockdown regulations .
Their logic is clear : When people die with multiple diseases , pick the one that ’ s politically useful .
( ‘ Never let a crisis go to waste.
’ ) ” Statistician Dr. Matt Briggs also ridiculed the study : “ They discovered a way to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Briggs added , “ Daily body counts blasted from the evil media , ‘ Over 100 people died from climate change today , raising questions about … blah blah ’ ” The possibilities are endless if the alarmists are able to gain traction over “ climate death certificates.
” Since federal research has sought a link between “ climate change ” and “ fatal car crashes , ’ is it possible that anyone dying in a car crash could be listed as a “ climate change ” death ?
A 2016 U. S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How might climate change increase the risk of fatal crashes in a community ?
’ And will cancer deaths also be listed on death certificates as a “ climate change ” death ?
“ Climate change ” and cancer were linked in a study published in the American Cancer Society journal , deaths from cancer could someday be labeled a “ climate change ” death .
A 2020 study in the American Cancer Society Journal found “ climate change is already increasing cancer risk ” and even fretted over the “ carbon footprint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the time of death could also prompt a climate change death certificate listing .
In 2017 , Al Gore promoted a link between climate change and health by warning , “ every organ system can be affected by climate change.
” So if Gore is correct that “ climate change ” impacts “ every organ ” in the human body , could that mean that anyone who dies of organ failure could now be listed as a “ climate change ” cause of death ?
If someone dies from a car crash @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ climate change ” could be listed as a cause of death on a death certificate .
Thomas Lifson writing at American Thinker explained : “ Just wait for the headlines about “ Millions killed by climate change.
” And “ Climate change death toll mounts.
” If it bleeds , it leads .
“ Politicized science is now a fact of life in the Western world , undermining the very foundations of the technological and material progress that liberated the mass of humanity from permanent poverty , the normal state of affairs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state of civilization , ” Lifson wrote .
“ Stalin was the pioneer in bending science in service of a political agenda , and under him , Trofim Lysenko led the charge to corrupt science , which ended disastrously when agriculture was forced to accept practices based on phony science .
Lysenkoism is the name given to the practice of bending science to politics , ” he added .
Or another name for it is : Bending science to support the policy .

UN ‘report should be withdrawn’ – Bjorn Lomborg rips new UN climate ’emergency’ report: ‘It is incompetent & wrong on all major accounts’ – ‘Bad analysis’

Lomborg : `` The UNs new report is incompetent and wrong on all major accounts Not okay to scare people witless with bad analysis The report should be withdrawn . ''
`` Not only has *actual* death data halved .
[ But ] because population increased by 73 % over 1980-2019 , death risk has dropped by almost two-thirds . ''

That is the main reason the UN finds an increase in numbers .

But so is population Proportion is actually *down* But this is mainly an issue of reporting : as we get closer to today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of small disasters Small incidents have been increasing , large incidents have been decreasing Another way to see the UN report is wrong is to look at US tornados .
We have good stats , but here even deaths are off for UN It seems UN caught few deaths in the early part , only converging in last 40 years As US population doubled over period , here is death risk — same overall point , that UN only converge towards end-of-period Real tornado numbers 100x higher than UN numbers , but that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even strong tornados are 10x higher , EF4+ still 2-3x higher , and EF5s 41-12 , all declining UN shows that last 20 yrs 2.2x higher than reality The UNs new report is incompetent and wrong on all major accounts Not okay to scare people witless with bad analysis The report should be withdrawn

In ‘blatantly political’ report, UN claims ‘staggering rise In climate emergencies Since 2000’ – But UN report debunks itself

Paul Homewood rebuts : `` Since 2000 , the trend in the number of disasters has actually been downwards , clearly debunking any pretence that weather is getting worse because of global warming .
The report even specifically accepts this : ...
Put simply , many more disasters are recorded nowadays because of better reporting systems .
But this does not mean more are actually occurring . ''

Amazingly the UNDRR report itself shows the claim to be nonsense : Since 2000 , the trend in the number of disasters has actually been downwards , clearly debunking any pretence that weather is getting worse because of global warming .
The report even specifically accepts this : So how does the UN justify its claim ?
Quite simply , they have compared two periods , 1980 – 1999 with 2000 – 2019 : Note that despite the claimed increase in disasters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Given that the number of disasters has not increased since 2000 , we are expected to believe there was a sudden jump prior to 2000 .
And EM-DAT ’ s 2004 report , Thirty years of natural disasters 1974-2003 , explains just why : Put simply , many more disasters are recorded nowadays because of better reporting systems .
But this does not mean more are actually occurring .
