Indefinite Weekend Driving Ban in Germany?

Germany is moving full speed ahead to reach their asinine climate targets. The citizens who are in essence the very carbon they wish to destroy must be punished for not sacrificing enough to uphold Angela Merkel’s Climate Protection Act. Transport Minister Volker Wissing is now threatening the German people with “an indefinite weekend driving ban.”

“In the dispute over a reform of the Climate Protection Act, Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) has warned of drastic cuts for motorists – including weekend driving bans. This is according to a letter from Wissing to the heads of the SPD, Green and FDP parliamentary factions. It was made available to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur on Thursday …

The letter states that if the amended Climate Protection Act does not come into force before 15 July, the ministry will be obliged under the current law to present an action programme to ensure compliance with the annual emission levels for the transport sector in the coming years.”

The climate zealots are worried that this overt threat will expose their ultimate goal to reduce, if not outlaw, private car ownership. Greenpeace has even come out and criticized Wissing for threatening driving bans, as if that measure is not precisely the goal of reducing emissions and ultimately 15-minute cities. Members of various parties in Germany, most of whom support climate change reductions, have attempted to redact his statements. Afterall, Germany does have a poor not so distant history of limiting freedom of movement.

It is not responsible for a minister to stir up unfounded fears,” Green Party parliamentary group leader Katharina Droege said, despite being in favor of reducing 80% of emissions by 2030 and making Germany climate-neutral by 2035.

The Free Democrats (FDP) believe that Germany should be climate-neutral by 2045, and while they reject banning car ownership, they would like to begin by implementing speed limits and favoring companies that abide by clean energy trade agreements.

The Social Democrat Party (SDP), highly in favor of forcing Germany to rely completely on renewable energy by 2040, criticized the proposal as well: “The proposal does not further our common goal of reducing CO2 emissions, but to unnecessary uncertainty for people in our country.” The SPD Bundestag faction clearly rejects driving bans for cars and lorries. Such manoeuvres would hardly advance the ongoing deliberations on the Climate Protection Act in the Bundestag, said Müller.”

The AfD Party is the only one in Germany who believes that climate change is not a man-made phenomenon. Hence, the government is attempting to frame the AfD as far-right radicals who wish harm on all of society. The AfD has agreed to keep the restrictions of the Paris Agreement, however, but will not eliminate fossil fuels.

The Germans must understand that their politicians are failing to act in the best interest of Germany. Instead, they are acting upon the wishes of the larger globalist agenda that does not want to see a strong single economy but a unified collection of a one-world government power.

There are an estimated 49,098,685 cars on the road in Germany. This law would change the lives of countless Germans, German manufacturing, and permit the government to have untold power over the people. This is why the media has presented the only party in Germany showing resistance to the climate change agenda as a threat. The true threat are the people in Bonn and Brussels.

Bad Hygiene is Good for the Environment


Posted May 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

We are expected to sacrifice all of our Earthly comforts in the name of climate change. The latest issue brewing across the media is water conservation, specifically taking daily showers. Experts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) state that the average 8-minute shower wastes 20 gallons of water. There are now calls to establish a new norm of NOT SHOWERING every day to save the environment.

There’s no need to shower every day,” a recent BBC article suggests. The author said she showers a mere three times a week, which would be seen as a sign of an underlying mental health disorder if not for climate conservation efforts. The author said some of her friends only need to bathe once per week. The article quotes chemist David Whitlock, who went 12 years without a shower, only spraying himself with “good bacteria.” The article calls out numerous “experts” who do not shower every day and are “brave” for admitting their hygiene habits.

Climate zealots are attempting to frame daily showers as a “performative act.” “If you go 100 years back, we didn’t shower every day, because the shower was not a normal thing to have,” Professor Kristen Gram-Hanssen from the Department of the Build Environment of Aalborg University in Denmark, as quoted by the NY Post. “We don’t shower because of health. We shower because it’s a normal thing to do.”

Caracalla Baths Rome

They cannot gaslight independent thinkers. Everyone I know will tell you that skipping a shower leads to poor hygiene, skin and hair problems, and unpleasant odors. Bathing is a simple concept we teach toddlers.

Diseases were more prevalent when people failed to clean themselves. The ancient Romans built intricate aqueduct systems to ensure their people were cleansed. The Grihya Sutras texts of ancient India, dating back to around 500 BCE, discuss daily hygiene rituals. Traders who visited ancient Japan were amazed at how sanitary the people were, as bathing was an early part of their culture.

The powers that be were insisting we wash our hands numerous times a day to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, but now they want us to sit in our own filth? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has suggested that Americans begin cutting down their time in the shower. The EPA believes we can save 2.5 gallons of water for every minute spent out of the shower. They suggest we wash our hair with the water off and believe five minutes in the shower is more than sufficient. Now, the EPA wants to frame this as a way to cut down on utility costs.

Countless articles are appearing across the web that urge the public to cut down on their time in the shower. Bad hygiene is the latest method of virtue signaling. They slowly embed these concepts into the public’s mind to engrain their version of the “new norm.” We are to reduce our consumption in all areas to combat a problem that does not exist. Notice the slow roll of propaganda that the media presents, as I, for one, do not want this grotesque “new norm.”

Global Taxation – Proposal to Fight Climate Change and Poverty


Posted Apr 25, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Tax Wealth Tax

Finance ministers from France and Brazil are urging the G20 to implement a minimum 2% tax on billionaires in an effort to fight climate change and poverty. Everyone cheers when the suggestion is to tax someone else, but feigns shock when the rules expand and everyone experiences rising taxation. Global collaborative efforts such as war go against the very problems government agencies claim to combatting. They are deliberately increasing the price of living while simultaneously increasing our taxes.

Brazil’s Fernando Haddad and France’s Bruno Le Maire believe that billionaires should see their wealth decline by 2% (at minimum) every year. “In a world where economic activities are increasingly transnational, we have to find new and creative ways to tax these activities [and] thus direct the revenues to common global endeavours such as ending hunger and poverty and fighting climate change,” said Haddad. Le Marie spoke of GLOBAL TAXATION efforts as “a matter of efficiency and a matter of justice.” “Everybody has to pay his fair share of taxation,” he added. Longtime career politician Bernie Sanders of the US is also in full support of the proposal.

Taxing Worldwide Income

Tune in to what they are actually saying. A collective global entity would like to collect funds from citizens of individual nations through taxation. This far surpasses taxation without representation as they are discussing eliminating personal wealth, for then those within the one world order can spend their looted funds as they see fit. And they certainly will spend it as we have seen time and time again. Government spending is the main problem we face today as monetary policy could never keep up with fiscal, and politicians are content on raising taxes until the people have nothing left.

In America, we saw it happen this past year with the Inflation Reduction Act, Ukraine Aid, migrant funding, and countless spending packages. Everyone, be it lower or middle class, saw their taxes drastically rise. Yes, the promise was not to raise taxes on anyone earning under $400,000 annually – guess what? Governments lie.

The mere concept that individuals could finance government spending is absurd. They can raise taxes to 100% and it would still not be enough to crawl out of the sovereign debt crisis.

AOC Tax Rich

China sits at the table and listens to the discussions but does not make the first move. China is skilled at the art of negotiation and winning over one’s opponent. They have not openly dismissed the idea, but they would not implement it for their own people. Chinese representative Lan Fo’An “demonstrated openness,” according to Reuters, but China does not want to join this collective madness. Capitalism thrives off of entrepreneurs and innovators who create new products, companies, job openings, and entire industries. China is not going to discourage its people from capitalistic endeavors through a global taxation rate. Save them a seat at the table so that they can hear what the others plan to do.

Germany’s finance minister, Christian Lindner of the Free Democratic Party, openly rejected the proposal. “We do not think it is suitable,” he said at a press conference alongside Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel in Washington. “We have an appropriate taxation of income.” Individual nations have their tax codes in place – global taxation is permitting the globalists to steal from citizens of their respective nations.

Zucman does not understand economics, but he does understand how to pander to the establishment. He had the audacity to say that if some G20 nations fail to participate, other nations can simply tax them more to compensate. Zucman and others are already discussing the potential of a Donald Trump win this November as they know he is not supporting the Great Reset or globalist agenda. The world needs Trump to fail in order to conquer America politically.

COVID Tax

The government found a way to house and feed millions of migrants as soon as they entered the country. They could implement other programs to combat poverty if they chose to do so. The billions funneled to Ukraine, for example, could have been spent elsewhere. Instead we are creating multi-trillion dollar packages to combat naturally occurring weather patterns. It is all a mere game and we are the pawns.

Lighting Your Fireplace will Be a $500 Fine for CO2 Police

I remember that growing up, my parents would light the fire on Christmas. We would listen to Christmas music and snuggle up in front of the fire. Now, if you light a fire, you are destroying the planet, and that is grounds to fine you. I suppose if your house burns down, insurance companies will not pay because it increases climate change, and you should not benefit from that.

South_Gloucestershire_residents_face_300_fine_for_using_log_burner

In South Gloucestershire, England, the City Council has approved the introduction of financial penalties in the district’s smoke control area. In the name of improving air quality, lighting a fire releases harmful pollution by burning wood, which can cause health problemGrs. You will be fined £300 pounds for harming the environment.

Rise Fall or Empires Climate

We have some severe problems. Most of us laugh at the Climate Change zealots and how stupid they are to not even look at history that Climate has ALWAYS changed. The sad part is that one of the lessons a friend of mine who became the mayor of a major city taught me was one of my first lessons in politics. I asked him why the city had to respond to a bunch of nuts protesting in front of his house. He said they bring the news, and you are forced to respond to their nonsense even when you know it makes no sense when they have the press in their pocket.

1970 Climate Change

You can only reason with a wise person. Only a fool argues with a fool. These people refuse to listen to any scientific evidence, history, or facts. They have been fully indoctrinated, so it is best just to agree and say look: I agree. We are seriously overpopulated. Perhaps you should set the example and commit suicide to save the planet. I’m sure others will follow.

Crisis 2

These Climate nuts have the press and the politicians in their back pocket. This is part of the rising civil unrest, for these people are unleashing a wave of domestic violence that is going to make the 1960s look like a dress rehearsal. Between the abuse of the rule of law as they try to prevent Trump from even surviving with more than two cents to his name, tearing down the rule of law to accomplish this goal means that the other side will now have a precedent, and this is the DEFINITIVE destruction of society and civilization. Throw in this climate change, where they intend more lockdowns and want to destroy our freedoms and livelihoods further; I can now see clearly why the computer is forecasting the end of civilization as we know it by 2032.

Gibbon on Commodus

Civilization can no longer exist once we have lost the rule of law. These people are so desperate to fulfill their agenda of climate change, war, and population reduction that they are tearing the very fabric of what has made the United States a nation. Anything that Trump did or stands for must be attacked the same way Commodus did. It is with his reign that historians have drawn the line for the start of Rome’s collapse. The empire was thrust into civil war after Commodus was finally assassinated.

Climate Change War

What these Climate Change zealots do not comprehend is that they are being used, and gradually, this movement is transforming into the extinction agenda – to reduce the population BIG TIME with war. They have no guarantee of surviving themselves. They are justifying war as NECESSARY, for this is the best way to reduce the population. I suppose Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Mussolini were just ahead of their time trying to save the planet by reducing the population.

OMG We Will All Die by 2027? Party Time!

NYC Climate Clock

Since the Climate Change nuts swear we will all die in just 3 years, you might as well stop working, go party, don’t bother paying your bills, and when you are done celebrating in a NY Restaurant, just walk out. If they complain, say Biden has confirmed we will all die by 2027, just look at the clock! That’s why he is forgiving all student loans. Hey, equality means we should all be forgiven all debts, including taxes. It’s Party Time – the Constitution guarantees Equal Protection of the Law! Biden has to forgive everyone’s debts! All the aliens pay no taxes. They get free money and free healthcare. It’s our time!

UFO come to White House

The reason the Biden Administration is talking about UFOs is because the word is out –

free money, free healthcare, and anyone can vote if you vote for Biden.

They are coming for the handouts from around the Galaxy.

Resign your Citizenship, go to Mexico, come back, and live the free life on Biden!

Note: Offer may be void if you do not join the military to conquer the world

Seal Levels 1885 2024

This is indisputable proof that the sea level is rising. It may have risen by a few millimeters between 1885 and today – but who is really counting anything? Others say the sea level has risen because we all gained weight, and when we go into the ocean for a dip, we are the cause of rising sea levels – not fossil fuels.

I feel bad for Trump. His request to delay the trial until 2027 was denied.

USDA: Straight White Male Farmers Will Receive Disaster Aid Last


Posted 0riginally on Apr 12, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Wheat Crop Flooded

Admiral Rachel Levine was appointed as the U.S. Public Health Service, Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Biden’s diversity cabinet. Levine has repeatedly warned that climate change disproportionately affects minorities. The US Department of Agriculture agrees and will begin prioritizing disaster aid to non-white Americans. A group of farmers is now suing the USDA and claiming that it violates the 14th Amendment by favoring certain groups over others.

“When natural disasters strike, they don’t discriminate based on race and sex. Neither should the Department of Agriculture,” the group of farmers wrote in a court filing. “Enjoining USDA from using race, sex, or progressive factoring when administering the programs is warranted because Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that: (1) the programs, as currently administered, are unconstitutional; (2) USDA lacks statutory authority to run the programs in their current form; and (3) USDA failed to adequately explain changes in calculating payments when implementing progressive factoring,” the motion stated.

LIBERTY v EQUALITY

The Biden Administration has distributed $25 billion in pandemic and disaster aid based on a woke merit system that is based on gender, race, sexuality, or any trait that is deemed “socially disadvantaged.” Not only does this violate the 14th Amendment, but it infringes upon the Fifth Amendment and the Administrative Procedures Act. Straight white men are being discriminated against, yet they compose the majority of America’s farmers. Those deemed “socially disadvantaged” not only receive financial assistance first, but they receive larger sums and other preferential treatment.

“Disasters don’t discriminate and neither should USDA. In fact, the Constitution prohibits it,” the lawyers representing the farmers declared. “That is why our brave clients – a group of Texas farmers that includes three white men who received significantly less money in disaster relief funds from USDA than if they had been of a different race or sex – filed this case and are asking the court to stop USDA’s blatant discrimination.”

Race-based discrimination is alive and well in America. These measures violate the US Constitution and equal rights protections and create a divide between the people. Biden continues to sign Executive Orders permitting agencies to disregard the Constitution but it is downright unconstitutional and stains our entire political system.

Insurance Companies Planning for Climate Lockdowns


Posted Apr 12, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Insurance

Some insurance companies are altering their policies for corporations and business interruptions, which seems to be in anticipation of government lockdowns for climate change under the label “weather events.” The government seems to be preparing for new lockdowns under the pretense of climate change this summer.  It appears that they are preparing to restrict travel starting from early to mid-June.  This appears to be part of the agenda being orchestrated to prevent people from traveling for vacations using climate change as an excuse. This is part of a covert action along with the hyping of bird flu to ramp up restrictions and to force more justification for mail-in ballots as they did using COVID.

2024 Presidential Election by Popular Vote

Our computer has been projecting a Republican victory in 2024. Personally, I cannot see how these Climate Change and Neocons will possibly allow Trump to win. It already appears that they are flooding the nation with 14 million aliens and are counting on them to vote for their free money and free healthcare to return the Democrats to the White House. Throw in this Bird Flu, and now what appears to be climate lockdowns, in addition to trying to seize all of Trump’s properties and sell them to the best Democratic donors for a sing. At the same time, NYC intends to actually send Trump to prison for nonsense that nobody else in history has ever been prosecuted.

2028 Presidential forecast

I do not care if you are pro-Trump or anti-Trump. This is about completely destroying not just the rule of law but the very fabric of the United States all to retain power. The computer is warning that there may not even be a 2028 election. All I can do is report what the computer has been projecting. This is by no means my opinion or desire.

Don’t Forget to Send a Thank You to Klaus Schwab for Destroying your Future.

EU Court Rules that Women are Disproportionately Harmed by Climate Change

Climate Change War
Swiss Flag

Over 2,000 women from Switzerland filed a case through the European Court of Human Rights after claiming that a lack of climate change regulations has disproportionately harmed their gender.  This is the third climate-related case brought to the high court. Six young women from Portugal sued for similar reasons, as did a former mayor in a coastal town in France. The previous two lawsuits were dismissed, but the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that the Swiss government has violated human rights by failing to implement harsher climate change laws.

KlimaSeniorinnen, as the group of Swiss women of 64 is called, declared in their lawsuit that their age and gender caused them to be more vulnerable to climate change. “I have had to enormously restrict my activities, to wait, with the blinds down and the air conditioning on (shame for an ecologist!) for the heatwave to pass, allowing me to go back to normal life,” one woman with an underlying cardiovascular illness said to the press during a 2022 heatwave. “I am fighting for my life and for my quality of life. Why do I fight? Because it’s only going to get worse and, if the government is as languid as it is now, it won’t sort itself out,” she said, describing Swiss action to date as “shameful.”

Climate Change Protest

Other women claimed they felt nausea, shortness of breath, and other very typical symptoms associated with the heat. The Swiss government called their claims “quite common” and noted that every living creature on the planet is impacted by the sun’s radiation. Switzerland was already in line with the 2015 Paris Accord Agreement, but these women have ensured that their government will crack down on climate change legislation as if a pen and paper could change naturally occurring weather patterns.

“Together with the authorities concerned, we will now analyse the extensive judgment and review what measures Switzerland will take in the future,” the Swiss Federal Office of Justice said in an official statement. Switzerland is already committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.

The climate zealots plan to continue suing governments throughout Europe to ensure that our way of life comes to a complete halt. If they feel uncomfortable during a heatwave, wait until they see how the world operates without proper access to fossil fuels. The entire climate change agenda is based on fear and not fact. This case is a major loss for humanity at large as the few are holding our future hostage with braindead ideas that legislation can change the climate.

The Climate Zealots are intent upon ending the Industrial Revolution, for most are just brainwashed fools, as illustrated by throwing soup on major oil paintings, because they are so STUPID and just hear the word oil, and it must be evil. You paint using linseed oil – not crude oil. What can I say? These people cannot understand basic chemistry, economics, biology, physics, or anything worthwhile. Anyone supporting this agenda is just not capable of independent thought.

Mayan Empire

The real stupidity surfaces when they are so ignorant that historical CLIMATE CHANGE has occurred for millions of years. In fact, it has been clearly established that mass migrations of the Sea Peoples, Goths, Mongols, and Huns were all driven by severe droughts in Asia. The Assyrian Empire collapsed because of a megadrought, as was the case for the Maya. WHY? Because they were NOT industrialized economies and were 90% agrarian. Even the USA was 70% agrarian in 1850.

Joseph Interprets Pharaoh

Even the story of Joseph warning the Pharaoh that there would be 7 years of plenty and 7 years of drought was all about climate change. It has nothing to do with all the chariots that they were driving and horse farts.

The climate zealots are cheering World War III, drooling over the thought that 50% of the world population will be wiped out in nuclear war. They are actually cheering on the NEOCONs. Oh, they will deny that – but trust me, they have NO INTEREST in peace. Even the Greens in Germany advocate for war.

Climate Change was the #1 issue behind many of the civilizations that collapsed because they were so dependent on agriculture, and without rain, they could not last very long. This is what these Climate Zealots want to re-establish.

These climate zealots are now in full control of the White House, which they share with the NEOCONs. This upcoming election is not a vote for Biden; it is a vote for the Deep State that is out to destroy civilization as we know it. The Biden Administration has decreed with EXECUTIVE ORDERS that electric vehicles (EVs), which now are less than 8% of sales of new cars in 2023, must be nearly 60% in a few years. They are outright attempting to outlaw ordinary gasoline-powered vehicles.

BMW_i8_031

I own a hybrid – a BMW i8. But they are not good enough anymore because it has two engines – electric & gas. I never have to plug it in, for it charges the electricity as I travel. But the climate zealots hate my car. It still uses gasoline. Not only do the new cars they want to be only electric, but they also have black boxes and report to your insurance company how you drive, and they use that data, without your permission, to turn it over to insurance companies so they can charge you 26% more in fees.

I have a Porsche, and the trunk was not fully closed overnight. When I came out in the morning, the battery was dead because all night long, it was calling home to say my trunk was open. Nobody came to close it, and they did not inform me it was open. They have to share every piece of info they can gather on you. No more new cars for me. Enough is enough.

Climate Change, Guyana -VS- The BBC


Posted originally on the CTH on March 30, 2024 | Sundance

Guyana President Dr. Irfaan Ali sat down with BBC narrative engineer Stephen Sackur, host of BBC’s HardTALK, to talk about Guyana’s vast offshore oil and gas reserves and how it is transforming their national economy.

The BBC production crew came with an intent to confront President Ali about climate change and the unwillingness of the emerging nation to adhere to the dictatorial fiats of the Western world. BBC arrived fully immersed in the climate change agenda, with a narrative that stands aghast at the nerve of another nation to look out for the best economic interests of their citizens.

President Ali was not going to allow the BBC to avoid the hypocrisy within their position and he fired back brilliantly. WATCH (prompted):

.

Pretending leftists wonder why the world is cleaving.  Then again, in order to advance their insane ideology, the progressive left must always pretend not to know things.  The BBC narrative engineer is a case study in this pretense.

An entire generation within the walled and occupied West have been indoctrinated to believe in the cult of climate change.  As the same ‘Western world’ loses a grip on their historic influence, the global cleaving does not come as a surprise.

People have asked me about the origin of the CBDC planning, the motive for the master design of the WEF and Western financial and corporate world.  Why would they need to wall-off the West through banking, finance and economics?

The answer really does boil down to diminished influence and fear.  The need for control is a reaction to fear.

In very real and practical terms, can we stop China from taking Taiwan? No.

Can we really stop Russia from taking eastern Ukraine? No.

Think logically.

In the chase for corporate profits, multinational financial gains and enrichment of the coffers, the USA and proverbial West deindustrialized. We outsourced our manufacturing to foreign nations.  Those same multinational institutions, and the politicians they control, are now facing the consequences of their greed.

♦ Diminished influence.

Do we really expect China to provide the rolled steel for a war against them over Taiwan?

Do we really expect China to provide the microchips, material and elements needed for use in missiles, weapons or war material, if we make them our enemy?

Do we really expect the softened and complacent youth citizens, created purposefully to benefit a “service driven economy” from within the USA and West, to sign up for the meat grinder of yet another bankers’ war?  Of course not.

None of this aforementioned action would ever happen.  That’s the pragmatic reality that everyone pretends not to know.

The Western global alliance has diminished its usefulness, exploited its leverage, and expended all of its effort in the chase for corporate profit and greed.  The grey zone influence is rising, an inflection point is upon us, and new global alliances are being formed – example BRICS+.

Against this backdrop, the WEF/Western corporate world is seeking to squeeze (and control) the remaining wealth from a loin cloth that is increasingly drying.

Their previous acceptance phase led to strategic planning.  The powers that control the mechanisms of Western wealth have constructed financial walls in order to preserve their own system of control.  That’s the big picture origin of the dollar-based central bank digital currency.

They are erecting walls and creating systems of compliance for financial engagement within a cleaved world.  A cleaving their globalist greed created.

The financial cleaving creates a pipeline for money and transactions between the zones.  They will control the pipeline.  That’s the motive, and their mechanism to try and retain affluence (CBDC) against a backdrop of diminished global influence.

The citizens within the WESTERN construct, are seemingly trapped inside this abusive relationship with an increasingly fascist government.  Note the COVID dictates.

The peasants in Guyana are revolting
