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 

shower

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


Posted originally on Apr 23, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

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.

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 Proposes New Climate Target for 2040

EU Proposes New Climate Target for 2040

Posted originally on Feb 8, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Click on the link below to watch the video

The European Union is leading the climate change psyop and releasing recommendations that are completely unattainable and unnecessary. Brussels would now like to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an astonishing 90% by 2040.

“Setting a 2040 climate target will help European industry, investors, citizens and governments to make decisions in this decade that will keep the EU on track to meet its climate neutrality objective in 2050,” the Commission said in a press release. Last year was one of the warmest on record since 1850, as it was cyclically time for a warmer atmosphere. They refuse to look at data before 1850 as it does not support the psyop or climate fear-mongering.

What would be required to reach a 90% reduction in emissions? The entire structure of society would need to change, and new technology would be required. Fossil-fueled cars, buses, and planes could not exist, and any in existence would need to be destroyed. Transportation, in general, would need to be reestablished. Farming would need to be reinvented to produce the same if not more, food while remaining CO2-neutral. Every nation would need to create a brand new electrical grid that relies solely on alternative energy sources that could sustain the entire population. Cargo ships would need to find a new way to transport goods, and manufacturing in general would need to be reinvented. Every home would need to use renewable energy, and buildings would need to be transformed, if not entire cities.

Stone Age

We could all pass away and stop producing CO2, and that would still not be enough for the people in Brussels who are using this climate change psyops to tax the people endlessly. They have shifted from the COVID psyop to climate change. Changes in the weather are the new pretend emergency that requires total abandonment of life as we know it. Should we rely solely on horse and buggy systems for transportation and use candles rather than electricity? The only method to meet these unattainable goals would be to revert as a civilization entirely and live as our unevolved ancestors. But hey, at least they didn’t have to pay taxes.

Climate Change – You Are the Problem


Posted originally on Dec 31, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

You are the Carbon We have to Reduce

Let’s get real. The entire nonsense of climate change is camouflage for the real agenda of reducing the population. Bill Gates has been funding this and reducing the people, for you are the carbon he wants to eliminate. This entire idea that was stuffed into his head by his father dates back to Malthus.

Malthus

They will create plagues that fulfill our disease models, and you have Kerry running around to reduce the food supply, claiming agriculture is a major source of climate change, so to reduce the food supply that will inevitably cause starvation and kill as many people as possible. These people will make Hitler look like just an amateur. Malthus did not understand cycles. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus argued that an increase in a nation’s food production had improved the well-being of the population; however, that improvement was temporary because it led to population growth. So the population would exceed the food supply and that was the doom of society. He never understood cycles and certainly failed to comprehend that innovation is part of the cycle.

Constantinople Fall 1

The invention of gunpowder that led to cannons was how the Turks conquered Byzantium when its wall had been impenetrable for centuries.  The development of oil as an energy source saved the whales, but it gave birth to the automobile, which expanded civilization into the suburbs.

Tractor

The discovery of fossil fuels enabled the combustion engine, which was then applied to farming. That increased the food production. Fertilizers were developed, and now Kerry and Gates realize that they have to kill food production to bring about Malthus’s prediction of 1798.

1970 2006 Time Climate Change

Kerry is a flat, outright propagandist for this entire climate change agenda. He states that scientists are correct for 30 years. That is just total BS. They were predicting an ice age in the 1970s. What happened to the hole in the ozone layer? Remember we were all going to die from acid rain?

Rise Fall or Empires Climate

Strangely, Bill Gates is now the largest farmland/landowner in the United States, which is a paradox, just like his vaccines to save people while pushing to reduce the population. Gates began buying up farmland in 2013 and now owns about 270,000 acres spread across 18 different states. He has a little more than one-third of the state of Rhode Island, a stunning amount for one person. So why does Bill Gates keep buying up so much farmland if this is a significant factor in climate change? Some find it a sinister paradox when Gates isn’t changing the practices of the farmers renting the land. Does this put him in the position to stop food production when he feels the time is right?

2022 Dutch Farmers
224 years Cycle agriculture Malthus

This attack on farming ironically has come exactly 224 years from Malthus trying to reduce agriculture production now, and with the climate turning colder, throw in a couple of volcanoes, and we have a major agricultural crisis on our hands. None of this makes any sense.

Biden Dept of Energy Continues War on Consumers – New Fridge/Freezer and Fans Regulations Enacted


Posted originally on the CTH on December 29, 2023 | Sundance

We all know the routine. Water-saving toilets that don’t flush (flush twice), water/energy-saving dishwashers and clothes washers that don’t clean (run two cycles), lightbulbs that don’t light, dryers that don’t dry (run twice), and all the ancillary nonsense that comes from the intervention of the regulatory state.

What Biden and the progressive movement call the “green new deal” effort toward “sustainability,” including the ban on gas stoves and internal combustion engines, simply results in a diminished quality of life, a loss in lifestyle productivity, and the exact opposite outcome from their expressed/intended purpose.  It’s an abject mess of stupidity, pushed under the guise of environmentalism.

Today the Biden Dept of Energy (DOE) takes it one step further with rules and regulations on fridges, freezers and fans. {DOE LINK}

Residential Refrigerators and Freezers – The efficiency standards being adopted today for residential refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, which have not been updated in over a decade, align with recommendations from a diverse set of stakeholders, including manufacturers, the manufacturing trade association, energy, environmental, and consumer advocacy groups, states, and utilities. Compliance will be required either January 31, 2029, or January 31, 2030, depending on the configuration of the refrigerator or freezer. The energy savings over 30 years of shipments is 5.6 quadrillion British thermal units, which represents a savings of 11% relative to the energy use of products currently on the market. DOE estimates that the standards would save consumers $36.4 billion over 30 years of shipments and result in cumulative emission reductions of nearly 101 million metric tons of carbon dioxide—an amount roughly equivalent to the combined annual emissions of 12.7 million homes. 

Commercial Fans and Blowers – DOE also released a proposed rulemaking for commercial fans and blowers that would reduce energy costs for American businesses by $3.3 billion annually. This proposal—the first federal standard for this product—follows the lead of efficiency standards already established by the state of California for general fans, extending savings to consumers nationwide and providing clarity for manufacturers. If adopted within DOE’s proposed timeframe, the new rule will come into effect in 2029. DOE estimates the new rule will reduce utility costs for American businesses by nearly $56 billion over 30 years of shipments, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 318 million metric tons—an amount roughly equivalent to the combined annual emissions of 40 million homes.  (MORE)

Now we will see air conditioning units that don’t cool, fridges that don’t chill, freezers that don’t keep things frozen and fans that do not move air.

Eventually, the compliant generations still to come will be sitting around a campfire eating sustainable algae cakes and bugs, while picking parasites off each other, because progress, environmental justice – or ESG something.

Guess what – Bill & Klaus. I drove to the food store and stopped by a gasoline station to fill up my Porsche. You know what that’s like, Bill, since you have a 959. Well, someone was in an accident and took down a pole that had fiber-optic connections to the internet. The whole area was down. OMG, I had to pay in cash or no gas risking I might die from handling money and in desperate need of your vaccine which is like playing Russian Roulette. Can you imagine how primitive it was?

What if you had to pay cash to fill up your private jet?
