Man of the people, self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders spent over $550,000 on private jet flights in 2025, according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The Green New Deal zealot insists climate change is an “existential threat” that warrants limiting YOUR carbon footprint and increasing YOUR taxes. Rules for thee but not for me.

Sanders is the same man who wanted to take the fossil fuel companies to CRIMINAL COURT. He believes we should eliminate fossil fuels, as he flies around on luxury jets to preach about climate change. Sanders sees no problem with using energy to run his three mansions.

Questions regarding his transportation choices only reveal how out of touch Sanders has become. “When was the last time you saw Donald Trump during the campaign mode at a national airport?” he asked, later adding, ““Think about me sitting at a waiting line at United,” Sen. Sanders added. “No apologies for that. That’s what campaign travel is about. That’s what we’ve done in the past. We’re going to do it in the future.”

The vivid difference is that Donald Trump does not want to demonize fossil fuels.

This is the same line of thinking we see with all bureaucrats who feign environmental concerns as a ploy for power. Hundreds of private jets fly into Davos annually, where the elite scheme ways to limit the carbon footprint of the pawns.

The European Union even exempted private jets from global warming taxes. Since the elite all have private jets, they certainly can’t possibly restrict themselves. They are the ones the world desperately needs. There were 309 private jets that flew to Davos in 2019, and this number grew to around 628 in 2024 and 705 in 2025. The media stated that there was around one private jet for every four World Economic Forum participants.

COVID restrictions did not apply to the elite, who were seen abandoning the very rules they expected the rest to follow. These people have one motive: power. Globalists know the climate change fear-mongering has lost its effectiveness, hence why they are turning toward water and blue initiatives as a way to control the masses. Bill Gates claimed that the climate change crisis was averted, asking the minions to focus on disease and poverty instead. Perhaps there will be a water-derived disease in the future.

The elites demanded that all companies adhere to carbon and ESG policies. They track and limit carbon usage to tax consumption. Lab-grown meat is becoming normalized since cows simply take up too much land and produce too much carbon. And don’t even think about using a gas-powered stove to cook your lab-grown cancerous cell meat. Gas hookups are prohibited in new construction buildings. Do not drive a gas-powered vehicle to pick up your groceries. In fact, do not even purchase groceries—you can simply eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy.
