During an extensive opening monologue on Tuesday evening, Fox News host Tucker Carlson walked through the origin of the modern American push for a transformation in the U.S. energy system; as outlined in the Green New Deal advocacy of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and how Joe Biden is implementing the agenda by executive fiat.
The Green New Deal is domestically to the U.S. as the Build Back Better agenda is to the rest of the western nations who follow the instructions from the World Economic Forum. Collectively the economies of western government are starting to collapse as the underlying energy policies (climate change) are being implemented.
Carlson walks through several examples of countries who have tried and failed to switch from oil, gas and coal to the “green renewable” energy programs. Everything from farming to home heating is now under attack by the governmental energy policies of western nations. Civil society is starting to collapse in according to the schedule of the nations who have tried to transition. Perhaps the worst part about it, is that western politicians -like Joe Biden- do not care how much damage is done, they are doing it anyway. WATCH:
.
Something has to change, and soon. As a nation we are going to self-destruct if we do not stop this mad effort to use windmills and solar energy as alternative power sources to oil, coal and natural gas. Already there are signs that states like Texas are bordering on an energy crisis because there is not enough wind to power their windmills.
From the complete restructuring of farming under the guise of climate change (the intentional shift to eating bugs and lab-grown meat), to the complete collapse of stable energy as a result of chasing climate change goals, we are fast approaching the point of no easy return.
We are not going to like the civil unrest and national instability that comes along with public desperation.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek is a GB News correspondent and conservative voice from Holland. In this interview segment with NTDNews Ms. Vlaardingerbroek outlines what is happening in the Netherlands with the Dutch farm protests and how it connects to the larger Agenda 2030 goals.
In the last 20 seconds of the segment, Vlaardingerbroek has some solid advice for Americans. WATCH (2 mins):
To really get a strong reference point for how the global ruling elites at the World Economic Forum think about farming and climate change, which includes the brain trust at the World Health Organization, I would urge you to read THIS ARTICLE from the Irish Farmers Journal.
When I first read this article about Irish farming -mostly referencing government policy- what stood out to me more than anything was the open hubris and arrogance in the mindset of the people cited.
They openly say the goal of the fundamental change in the global food system is to control what people eat, allocate specific amounts of calories according to the goals of the climate change officials, and completely take over the way farming is done.
The article is written from a sympathetic standpoint of how government needs to help farmers transition away from their agricultural world as they lose their farm operations. The openly communist outlook is really quite remarkable.

A slowdown in the housing market is being identified as the primary cause of a significant increase in cancelled homebuyer contracts in the month of June. Bloomberg Report Here and Redfin Report Here. It would appear the inflated housing bubble has popped.
According to the data 60,000 home sales were cancelled while under contract in June, that represents 14.9% of all contracts cancelled by the buyer before the transaction closed. If you take out the forced cancellations due to the pandemic, a 15% cancellation rate equals the highest monthly cancellation rate ever recorded.
The economy is contracting, economic activity and consumer purchases have stopped, and the contraction is now fast and sudden.
(Redfin) – Nationwide, roughly 60,000 home-purchase agreements fell through in June, equal to 14.9% of homes that went under contract that month. That’s the highest percentage on record with the exception of March and April 2020, when the housing market all but ground to a halt due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. It compares with 12.7% a month earlier and 11.2% a year earlier.
This is according to a Redfin analysis of MLS data going back through 2017. Please note that homes that fell out of contract during a given month didn’t necessarily go under contract the same month. For example, a home that fell out of contract in June could have gone under contract in May.
“The slowdown in housing-market competition is giving homebuyers room to negotiate, which is one reason more of them are backing out of deals,” said Redfin Deputy Chief Economist Taylor Marr. “Buyers are increasingly keeping rather than waiving inspection and appraisal contingencies. That gives them the flexibility to call the deal off if issues arise during the homebuying process.”
Marr continued: “Rising mortgage rates are also forcing some buyers to cancel home purchases. If rates were at 5% when you made an offer, but reached 5.8% by the time the deal was set to close, you may no longer be able to afford that home or you may no longer qualify for a loan.” (read more)
Now, keep in mind that contract cancellations can also be attributed to a hot housing market, where purchasing hysteria and bidding wars end up being factors in the contracts. Some anxious buyers make out-of-town offers without even seeing the house, then use contract exits -contingencies- to cancel the purchase if the home is ultimately not up to their standard.
In my opinion the spike in cancellations is a blend of the two aspects which indicate the apex of home purchasing is behind us. The bubble popped.
Home values are now declining as more available inventory starts to fill up the real estate market. Again, everything is local and regional depending on a myriad of issues; however, if we are looking at it from a macro level, the booming housing market is now over.
City and county tax rates will now benefit from the overinflated real estate sales data. Real estate tax bills (a backward-looking metric) will go up as the curve on home valuation actually starts to drop and drop quickly.
If you did not purchase a home this year, you have not lost money. If you did purchase a home this year, the dropping market will erase tangible wealth.
Redfin also has the top metro-markets for cancellations:

Comrades, the professional moonbats went to Washington DC today to advance the Democrat position on baby killing. However, UC Berkely Law School Professor, Khiara M. Bridges, claimed to be a victim of transphobic non-binary violence while being questioned about women and abortion.
After hearing Professor Bridges speak about “people with the capacity for pregnancy” in her testimony, Senator Josh Hawley attempted to understand exactly who Ms. Bridges was talking about because the Senate Judiciary hearing was assembled to discuss the legal consequences of the recent Supreme Court Dobbs decision on abortion.
Professor Bridges took exception to the line of inquiry suggesting that only women could get pregnant, and immediately accused Senator Hawley of conducting transphobic violence against her for asking questions without accepting her position that men can get pregnant. WATCH:
.
This is the modern political ideology of Democrats. And leftists are puzzled, shocked and stunned about why so few people can relate to them anymore.
Violence that supports leftist ideology is called speech. Any speech that confronts leftist ideology is labeled violence.
The Democrat party really need to double-down on this approach. It will be good for them, I promise.

Appearing on GBNews with Dan Wootton, UK commentator Neil Oliver discusses and connects the Sri Lanka protests, the uprising in the Netherlands, and the aligned protests in Poland, Italy, Germany and much of the European continent.
As Oliver notes the pretorian guards for western politicians, aka the ‘western media’, are doing everything they can to ignore the global scale of the popular uprisings that are directly connected to the globalist agenda of the World Economic Forum and their Build Back Better orders to the western politicians. The media ignore the issue until it reaches a point like Sri Lanka where it can no longer be ignored. WATCH:
The Canadian trucker protests were targeted by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an effort to quickly stop the spread of any opposition to the globalist agenda. However, in the Netherlands the Dutch farmers have several distinct advantages in their ability to impact the life of ordinary Dutch people, as they refuse to become victims to the new global feudalism.
Like Sri Lanka, the Netherlands is a case study in raw people power, where the government is represented by a select few people. The only thing keeping the Dutch from storming the politicians’ palaces and government buildings is a preference for polite society. If that preference changes, and it might as people get more desperate, well, katy-bar the door.
Sri Lanka (top)
The Netherlands (bottom)
Both uprisings are connected to the exact same dynamic.

Two things about this report showing Rivian is planning layoffs for its workforce.
First, the larger ‘layoff‘ issue is going to be more prevalent as the economy contracts and consumer demand declines. There is almost no expanded investment going into any Main Street business that sells non-essential goods.
The economic contraction, the drop in consumer demand that indicates a recession, is very real and now very easy to spot.
Second, Rivian is backed by the financing of Ford and Amazon and operates in California, Michigan and Illinois (three deep blue states). Rivian is also the supplier for Amazon electric delivery vehicles having previously announced (in 2019) a deal to purchase 100,000 vehicles from Rivian. Additionally, Rivian has lost 69% of its market value this year.
LA TIMES – Rivian Automotive Inc. is planning hundreds of layoffs to trim its workforce in areas where the electric-vehicle maker has grown too quickly, according to people familiar with the matter. […] The Irvine company, which has more than 14,000 employees, could target an overall reduction of around 5%, the people said. The layoffs are still in the planning stage, and nothing has been decided.
[…] The manufacturer is poised to join companies across corporate America pruning their operations amid growing worries about an economic downturn. Tesla is cutting 10% of its salaried workforce, while protecting manufacturing jobs, after Chief Executive Elon Musk said he sees a recession as inevitable. (read more)
Protestors swarmed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s palace in Sri Lanka, forcing him to flee and step down. The entire government in Sri Lanka will be restructured. When the people are hungry, no amount of rules and restrictions will prevent them from protesting. Sri Lanka ran out of food and ran out of fuel to cook whatever happened to be available.
“Gota Go Gama” (Gama meaning village) or GGG protests arose throughout the nation. Labor migration rose 286% this year, according to the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment. The government owes $51 billion in debt and cannot make any payments on loans. Their currency collapsed 80% and was basically worthless. Tourism halted after the pandemic, adding to the crisis. The people had hit rock bottom and knew exactly who to blame. President Rajapaksa and his brother, former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, are extremely corrupt. They allowed the problem to become a crisis; living lavishly as their people starved.
The revolutionary wave has only just begun. I warned that it would first come for emerging countries. However, do not think this incident will be isolated to one nation. Unrest is rising as living standards decline.

You might have heard about an online grocery distribution center called Picnic in the Netherlands burning to the ground {LINK}. The backstory of how the Picnic operation connects to the Dutch government is fascinating, and with context it looks like Picnic was targeted as part of the Dutch farmer protest.
In the Netherlands the government official who organized the regulations to take farmland from farmers and reduce their livestock is a politician named Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink {wiki link}. Mrs van der Wal-Zeggelink is the current Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy in the Dutch cabinet of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
Minister Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink and Prime Minister Mark Rutte are climate activists, so it makes sense that the “Minister of Nitrogen Policy” would be the person who would attempt to reduce nitrogen by targeting the farmers. It is Mrs. van der Wal-Zeggelink who created the regulations that the farmers are protesting.
Now, stay with me… Christianne van der Wall-Zeggelink is married to Piet van der Wal, an heir to the wealth of the family who owns a supermarket chain called Boni. {citation} So, when Dutch farmers sell product to Boni they are directly funding the wealth of the government minister who seeks to destroy their livelihoods.
Additionally, when Dutch shoppers spend their money at the Boni supermarket they are funding the family of the government minister who is seeking to destroy the farmers who provide the food to the supermarkets. Do the Dutch farmer blockades of the supermarkets and distribution centers make more sense now?
Here is where it gets interesting…. The supermarket chain Boni is one of a small group of four big investors in the online supermarket chain Picnic. {citation} The van der Wal family was part of a group of investors in 2015 and 2019 who generated €450 million for the Picnic grocery operation.
Additionally, as part of the financial relationship, the Picnic distribution center buys their groceries at wholesale prices from Boni: “Picnic directly buys from an existing supermarket chain (Boni), which saves them the operational costs on that side” {2015, citation}.
Buying from Boni Supermarket or ordering online from Picnic home grocery delivery is essentially the same thing. Boni is a retail supermarket chain, and Picnic is a free home delivery service that sources their grocery distribution center inventory from Boni.
Additionally, Bill and Melinda Gates are big investors into Picnic {citation}: “As reported by the respected Dutch financial magazine Quote in September last year, [Picnic] raised €600 million (approximately $604 million) in an investment round, with the lion’s share coming from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust.” {link}
Summary so far: Nitrogen Policy Minister Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink is married to the ultra-wealthy family who own the Supermarket chain Boni. Together with other ‘climate change’ investors including Bill and Melinda Gates, Boni funds online supermarket Picnic. Sales from Picnic or Boni directly increase the wealth of the Dutch Nitrogen Policy Minister. Picnic also sells the engineered food that Bill Gates promotes.
The current owner and CEO of Picnic is a man named Michiel Muller. Mr. Muller is a Dutch entrepreneur, climate change activist and self-described visionary, who intends to “change the entire food system, eliminate waste” and be in line with sustainable energy goals and the climate change agenda [Video citation @14:21].
Additionally, a great deal of the money from the investment rounds is going toward building a robotic warehouse and automated Picnic distribution center which aligns with the free online grocery ordering system. {another citation}
With all of these associations, business interests and financial aspects in mind, Dutch Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wall-Zeggelink has a direct financial conflict-of-interest in the advancement of sustainable supermarket and online grocery operations. Specifically, those operators who are the beneficiaries of not only her nitrogen elimination regulation, but also the direct investment from her family.
It is also not surprising that Dutch farmers would seek to block the retail supermarkets and distribution centers of the companies that are directly connected to the business interests of Dutch politicians.

It looks increasingly likely that Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the OBGYN who originally made the claim to the Indianapolis Star, lied about the 10-year-old child rape story in order to sell a sympathetic abortion narrative to the public. An ideologically compliant and incurious media then promoted the false story, which led to Joe Biden repeating the story as part of his pro-abortion speech and executive action. It’s Jussie Smollett all over again.
The Washington Post previously tried and failed to verify the story and wrote an article saying the only attribution for the claim comes from Dr. Caitlin Bernard {link}. There is zero evidence the story is true, and considerable evidence the story was a complete hoax. Including the lack of any police report and no documentation of any rape despite a legal responsibility to do so.
Now Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is saying his office has no evidence of a raped ten-year-old child who was impregnated, including a request for lab results. Yost also noted that Ohio law would have allowed for an abortion in such a case. First, the summary of the likely hoax. WATCH:
.
Below is the segment with Ohio AG Dave Yost:
BREAKING: Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost says there is "not a whisper" that a 10-year-old child was raped and impregnated, there has been no request for crime lab results, and that Ohio's heartbeat law would have allowed such a young girl to get an abortion in the state. pic.twitter.com/oIhJzNiq52
Who will vote for Biden after he destroyed the American economy? Perhaps illegal immigrants from Socialist countries who would have gratitude for even the lowest level of living in this nation. I explained how the election system is rigged with Dominion Voting Systems directly funneling money to liberal candidates and having close ties to George Soros. The Biden Administration wants to ensure that the game is completely in their favor, and now wants illegal immigrants to vote in American elections.
The Biden Administration is actually suing the state of Arizona because the state will require voters to show proof of American citizenship. Was the left not up in arms about other nations allegedly interfering in our electoral process? The Department of Justice claims that House Bill 2492 is illegal under the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the National Voter Registration Act (1993).
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said that he will not accept the DOJ’s demands. “In addition to free rooms and transportation for those illegally entering our country, the DOJ now wants to give them a chance to vote,” he said to Fox reporters. “It’s another round of Brnovich v. Biden. I will once again be in court defending Arizona against the lawlessness of the Biden administration.”
New York City recently prohibited illegal aliens from voting and the measure has bipartisan support. Even Mayor Bill de Blasio did not fight the ruling. The only politicians seeking to allow outsiders to vote in elections are on the far-left, and it appears that those at the very top of our political system have become extremists in their views.
