We have been closely monitoring the signs of a global cleaving around the energy sector taking place. Essentially, western governments’ following the “Build Back Better” climate change agenda which stops using coal, oil and gas to power their economic engine, while the rest of the growing economic world continues using the more efficient and traditional forms of energy to power their economies.
Within the BBB western group (identified on map in yellow), the logical consequences are increased living costs for those who live in the BBB zone, and increased prices for goods manufactured in the BBB zone. In the zone where traditional low-cost energy resources continue to be developed (grey on map), we would expect to see a lower cost of living and lower costs to create goods. Two divergent economic zones based on two different energy systems.
This potential outcome just seemed to track with the logical conclusion. The yellow zone also represented by the World Economic Forum, and the gray zone also represented by an expanding BRICS alliance. Against this predictable backdrop we have been watching various events unfold, some obvious and some less so.
Today, we get an obvious example:
NEW DELHI, Nov 24 (Reuters) – Fiat parent Stellantis (STLA.MI) has concluded it can’t currently make affordable electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe and is looking at lower-cost manufacturing in markets such as India, its chief executive told reporters.
If India, with its low-cost supplier base, is able to meet the company’s quality and cost targets by the end of 2023, it could open the door to exporting EVs to other markets, said Carlos Tavares, CEO of the group whose brands also include Peugeot and Chrysler.
“So far, Europe is unable to make affordable EVs. So the big opportunity for India would be to be able to sell EV compact cars at an affordable price, protecting profitability,” Tavares told reporters at a media roundtable in India late on Wednesday.
Stellantis is investing heavily in EVs and plans to produce dozens in the coming decade, but Tavares warned last month that affordable battery EVs were between five and six years away.
On his first visit to India since taking over as Stellantis CEO, he said the company was still working out a plan regarding EV exports from the country and had not yet taken any decisions. (read more)

Normally we would expect to see market forces determining the ultimate economic outcome. Historically, we would not expect government policy that puts their nation at an economic disadvantage. However, in this WEF controlled new western economic normal we see multinational corporations’ making decisions and government leaders creating policy to support the corporations.
There is money to be made by corporations within the climate change agenda, and there is money to be made by producing goods with low-cost wages and cheap materials. Eventually, if you keep following this to its natural conclusion, the entire yellow zone becomes a service driven economy.
Multinational corporations in control of government are what the BRICS assembly foresaw when they first assembled during the Obama administration. When multinational corporations run the policy of western government, there is going to be a problem. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) saw President Obama sub-contracting, actually giving away, U.S. trade policy.
In the bigger picture, the BRICS assembly are essentially leaders who do not want corporations and multinational banks running their government. BRICS leaders want their government running their government; and yes, that means whatever form of government that exists in their nation, even if it is communist.
BRICS leaders are aligned as anti-corporatist. That doesn’t necessarily make those government leaders better stewards, it simply means they want to make the decisions, and they do not want corporations to become more powerful than they are. As a result, if you really boil it down to the common denominator, what you find is the BRICS group are the opposing element to the World Economic Forum assembly.
The BRICS team intend to create an alternative option for all the other nations. An alternative to the current western trade and financial platforms operated on the use of the dollar as a currency. Perhaps many nations will use both financial mechanisms depending on their need.
The objective of the BRICS group is simply to present an alternative trade mechanism that permits them to conduct business regardless of the opinion of the multinational corporations in the ‘western alliance.’
Again, if you follow the Build Back Better agenda to its natural conclusion, the entire yellow zone becomes a service driven economy.
Dah!!!
I’ve heard it said that America doesn’t “make” anything anymore (manufacturing hollowed out, etc)
“America doesn’t make anything anymore”
“America makes pizzas and pole dancers”
If you look at yhis from the natural conclusions perspective imo this is a truism. If you look at it from an asymmetric war time perspective it is slight of hand to make you think this is true.
Short comment version:
My perspective is that the CCP has a global plan. Whether knowingly or unknowingly the WEF is a proxy government and policy group for the CCP in the civilized world. It has helped them gain control of Europe and the U.S. by subveting weakness in each individual governments structure. Buying politicians using lobbing groups and elections. Using tech to blackmail politicians into subserviance. Why it is and was important for the EU to exist. Easier to corrupt one body than multiple nation states. By using the WEF to promote insane policy that will destroy the govs and economies of the civilized world and promoting that policy with billions of dollars funded by the American and European tax payer and doubled down by the multinational corps n banks who invest on insider info the money funneled from the U.S. and EU by ngos charities and now war in Ukraine which finances their asymmetric war. So this briccs thing is just the pincher move in the war. A natural reaction to a purposefully weak U.S. government and normal subserviance of Europeans to their kings, designed to promote obvious outcomes. A phenomenal national election fraud machine enabling installation of officials
In key government rolls local and national. And those officials knowingly and unknowingly through greed,and lust for power and just ego promoting all of these destructive policies promoted by our enemies and greedy globalist billionaires who think they will come out on top because they are under estimating the CCP. Who will dispose of any of these groups once they do not need them anymore for world dominance. And all without firing a shot or losing a soldier. For now. They are smart enough to fight U.S. by proxy since Korea. And have beaten ys every time. Because our system is easy corruptible and manipulated by dishonest and Godless fools in in control.
Or God is pissed because we are breaking his laws and doing what Israel did throughout the whole Old Testiment.
Probably a lot of both. One could not be possible without the other.
Godspeed Americans 🇺🇸 WE are in for some very hard times our Republic is dying and no body is paying attention.
We here are paying attention and must instill necessity of action to address these items to others.
Stuck in a backwater eddy in Nevada limits little thought and largely holds action still, but I may of necessity change the latter. People make a difference when they change their minds. Hardship and risk fuel a life. Note fear and carry on.
Well-stated agreement with your perspective:

Excellent. Spot on. Thank you.
I agree with you the article was spot on. As an expat I got the opportunity to observe the Chinse operating in a crisis situation. I was impressed by their effectiveness and efficiency in protecting their people. The US State department was as usual a day late and a dollar short. We should never ever underestimate the Chinese government’s ability to accomplish what ever goal they set their minds too.
Greenfield is always excellent..
Firstly, the term ‘CCP’ is a western term. There is no ‘CCP’…..it is the communist part of China (so, correctly CPC) and it ay not be the big bogeyman that western sources have taught us to believe. China’s ideal is basically economic (unlike Western imperialism, wars, etc.). If you are interested in another view of China, the New Atlas, located in Thailand, does a great job explaining: https://youtu.be/gAYnZREu-Mk. Just as we should not be abiding by anything MSM or our government dictates to us as to who/what our ‘enemies’ are, what our medical decisions should be, etc., nor should we take their view of China (or Russia) at face value.
CCP vs CPC argument is a waste of time and distraction. They refer to the same organization, one places the emphasis on it being of China and the other on it being Chinese. This is a typical pro commie argument you are making.
I don’t need another view of China but I briefly looked at your source. There are some specific videos I look for on a youtube channel covering China. They are proven to be made by Chinese propaganda arm of the CCP and youtubers get paid to show them. I saw 2 that exist on that channel after a cursory glance. Your source is CCP propaganda plain and simple.
China is a dead man walking. They have several major problems to overcome, any one of which will be a death blow for its future. The demographic problem alone, which cannot be corrected, spells their doom.
Gordon Chang in our country has said the same.
there is an over abundance of evidence convicting China of being exactly who we think they are – what are you a China apologist. Just look at how they locked the whole damn country down
China has not been hollowing out every western country since the 80s and flooding every white country with millions of invaders.
Get a grip.
The enemy is within.
And, many are mired deeply in the DC Swamp, elected members, staff, and media.
Oh, yes. They and their money. Ultimately, this is genuinely demonic, and I do not exaggerate.
What would the world look like if we all adhered to Christ’s two simple laws?
Put God above ALL people and things, and worship Him as He has asked? And treat all people as we would like to be treated ourselves?
World would be a different place, quite unlike what we see now.
I so agree. It is NOT the CCP, because it is GLOBALISM. That means, sure, it is XI. But is also obama and the Bushes and Clintons and Trudeau and Macron–It is Schwab and Soros, Gates and Faucci– it is the Council on Foreign Relations and the WEF– because the globalists have decided what countries shall be the manufacturers for their resources and what countries shall provide the services and who needs to be culled and who can be kept around…for mining, for growing….and just for entertainment purposes.
It does not seem that it serves any purpose to think solely in terms of nationalities anymore when that is what WE are fighting for, but THEY are not. The whole battle is sovereignty vs. authoritarianism, nationalism vs. globalism, and individualism vs collectivism, and we need to see it that way. WE want our nation, as do other citizens, but THEY have already opened our borders and let millions in from all over the world.
We are in an existential battle for the system of the nation state, and we may not win. But we have to realize that yes, the enemy is within our borders (such as they are) — and that no, we cannot think in terms of “the communists” or “the socialists” but must get the terminology/thinking right — it’s the globalists” and the “totalitarians” — so that we can at least have a chance at beating what is coming at us from all directions now.
And they’re still doing it—all for one occurrence of, “Covid”
CPC is pure propaganda. The CCP wants it to be called CPC so when you search for information the only thing you find is the Chinese govt approved version of history. It’s all fake, all made up in an attempt to rewrite history and factual standing in a VERY proCCP way, every bit of info is a lie meant to help you “like” the Chinese government. If you are interested in some background check out YouTube, The China Show.
These two guys started out hating the rest of the world and loved everything China. They both moved there for over a decade and happened to run into each other there and became good friends. They started by showing the beauty of China but after years they realized how the govt controls people and many other shocking culture differences and how dangerous that kind of govt can be.
or more appropriately it is the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY (CCP)
You got it exactly right in my opinion. Klaus Von Schwab is the necessary white face of the CCP. If the WEF had a Chinese face, it would be too obvious to the world.
One thing the CCP has not and could not calculate in their plan is revolution in the USA. If the US economy has a rapid decline and the majority of Americans believe our elections are corrupt, revolution is possible.
Klaus has a bust of Lenin in his office. It tells me all I need to know.
Take the WEF position to its logical conclusion.
“You will own nothing and be happy!” because the governemnt will own everything, just like communisism. The multinationals may think they rule the roost, but in the end, the governement run by communists will nationalize all businesses, just like commies do. Your ration card will be digital scrip and rations based on your obeisance to the new ruling class and the tyranical order.
But the CEO’s are indoctrinated Ivy Leagues who are not Nationalists and don’t think of themselves as “Americans” in the traditional sense.
Even if China/WEF/Antichrist takes over at some point they will be enormously wealthy, completely isolated from the pain and destruction they instituted, and they’ll be given high positions within the new government/religion.
In other words: lacking any moral compass, why would they change course? It’s going to get much worse. Barring some miracle we are probably at or PAST the tipping point. One more generation (us older folks) will survive and we can be rebellious holdouts, but the younger ignorant fools have already all but sold out. It would take a HUGE rebellion or war to change the trajectory of this incoming meteoric disaster.
Mussolini himself defined fascism as the merger of government and corporate power working together to control the people. We tend to think of it as “totalitarianism,” but it is a very specific type of totalitarianism. We see it all around us now, and what Sundance wrote about above is only the same on a global scale.
I believe these people decided to merge communism and fascism,so for appearances,the government won’t own everything,but the corporations will,but will be under the control of the government,through laws and regulations. we’re already seeing that with the illegitimate Biden *Administration. they have many corporations and the social media helping them solidify the grip on the US government.
Because a free,Capitalist America is the sole impediment to the globalists.
We must necessarily remember, when referring to ‘corporations’, that they aren’t artificial intelligence or machines, rather individual humans making conscious choices.
A ‘corporation’ recently purchased by Elon Musk just canned thousands of employees. He’s an individual; they are individuals. That female that banned PDJT’s Twitter account is an individual.
Those are the enemies, not ‘a corporation’. Of course, not individualizing it makes it more sanitary. We nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That sounds more pleasant than we killed and maimed a few hundred thousand, mostly innocent, citizens, to ‘win a war’.
Individualize it. It’s ugly, yes. But that is life. It’s war then we die.
Discussing number shuffling is fun and an intellectual talking point exercise but real people have been injured and killed in the latest operation by what those numbers created. Real people. Never forget.
your theory has merit, but as long as you have people like Netanyahu or Orban and some of the other European leaders that are not playing along this is never gonna work. as for God, he is pissed because of the millions of dead babies that are piled up on the steps of the supreme court – that’s what the United States is being judged on.
Abortion, gay lifestyles, mocking marriage (co-habituating), child abuse, porn, human trafficking, people not attending church.
There is PLENTY for Him to judge us on. Sin is SIN in God’s eyes. The abortion issue is horrendous but so is all the rest.
We’ve been coasting on the coattails of our Godly forefathers who dedicated this Nation to God Almighty. That carte blanche is about to be revoked I fear.
Religion aside all the things you mentioned a precursors to a collapse of a society and or nation state. All you have to do is study history. But I am afraid we are rapidly running over a cliff and it will take drastic action on our part or divine intervention to prevent the disaster that is coming.
Kruschev said he could destroy America without firing a shot. He did not have a plan for this but Xi does and is well along in the implementation of it.
A good deal of what you say here is correct, but it is almost certainly outdated. The cooperation of China with BBB had to end at some point because she, like Russia, will not sit around and wait to be eaten last. Similarly, Davos knows that it has to defang both Russia and China to accomplish its ridiculous dream of world dominance. As for who will come out on top in the end, just ask yourself whether the goals of hegemonic Russia and/or China are more possible than world domination by a bunch of technocrats that are, among other things, trying to implement a CBDC without having the mechanism in place to do so.
Anyway, there is good evidence that the split between China and Davos began at least when the Fauch et. al. started blaming China for the batflu. (I used to blame China, too, but now I think Obama/Schwab et. al. most likely set them up to take the fall.) Then, we heard Soros saying that China is an enemy – probably because they didn’t let him buy them off like everyone else. At the same time, there developed a full-blown economic and military conflict between Davos and Russia, with whom China (and Turkey) appear to have become allied.
So, if you ask me, China is now off the Davos reservation.
This isn’t hard to figure out, because it was all written thousands of years ago. Heck, God even told us what would happen and why. Jesus said that in the end days, the world would return to “the days of Noah”. The days of Noah were so overwhelmed with evil that God said that He had made an error in even creating man and the only option left to Him was to destroy mankind….which he did. It will be different this time. These events can’t be stopped or changed. Get ready.
“Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) saw President Obama sub-contracting, actually giving away, U.S. trade policy”
joebama is still giving our wealth away. Putin was not baited into a war with Ukraine. It’s a manufactured conflict, fake war, not a proxy. All actors including Russia are playing their part to facilitate the desired outcomes described.
Always goes back to obama, doesn’t it?
And…we will not only have the low-paid, service jobs…but the most expensive products (like the EV’s)…meaning as Scwab says, “own nothing,” which we can kinda figure out means we’ll all live in the virtual world, right?
Yes…. China’s free, no cost, access to the US domestic retail market made it “great” and prosperous.
Don’t blame China, it simply took advantage of the opportunity presented by culturally unsophisticated Americans .
The Congressional free traders supported the CoC.
China wants to own you.
Biden’s boys wish this to continue.
And if you ever buy anything made in China…so do you.
Yes. And as we slip from a recession towards a depression, so will China.
China depends on exports for currency to fund their necessary imports of fuel and food. They are not a self sufficient nation.
As the EU and US necessarily reduce their imports, so too will China fall into a recession or depression. Add in their demographic problem and their debt and pollution issues and they are looking at collapse.
And when they do, revolution is not far behind.
“And when they do, revolution is not far behind.”
Before revolution is the invasion of Taiwan. Taiwan is the unifying event Xi will hold in reserve to cure incipient revolution.
As the anti Christ Herr Claus Schwab tells us (Yello Bellies) You will own nothing and be happy!
If the pharmaceutical equivalent of a lobotomy is WEF’s definition of “happiness,” I guess that’s all in the eye of the beholder.
Service driven…or Serf-driven?
A distinction without a difference.
Didn’t Obama call a service driven economy the New Normal? Then Trump kind of screwed it up, but Biden has the country back on track
Service Economy – selling other countries products.
Exactly why they are working so hard to be sure Trump and the MAGA movement is torn apart, demoralized, and generally led to believe this is business as usual with us fighting a common, overseas enemy –China or Russia — while we, ourselves, are still a strong nation and not one full of traitorous “citizens of the world” who have banded together with other “citizens” of the world who are putting in place the Great Reset/Technocracy/Green New Deal/Agenda 21/UN 2030/Urbanization/Climate Change/or whatever name they’re hiding it under this week.
By the time they start manufacturing those EVs , there won’t be any electricity to run them.
What are you saying? There is not enough electric output, right now, to sustain a nation of EV users.
That is correct
The easiest way to answer that question would be to find five of your closest friends with EV’s, invited them to try charging all five at the same time on the same grid block. Sit back and watch the show.
The electric car was invented in 1832, if consumers actually wanted electric cars they’d have been the standard a century ago.
There is no ‘environmental’ advantage to manufacturing or maintaining an electric car. EV’s are also inefficient, unaffordable and terribly inconvenient.
Globalists have absolutely no intention of providing the serfs with EV’s. What they really want is to deprive us of personal mobility and freedom. Cattle cars will suffice.
Come on, geez, we’re going down the slippery slope of despair, here. EV’s have a purpose, and they have several advantages
Bingo! And anyone who thinks otherwise is not admitting to what is staring them in the face. Have they not heard that there will be NO gas-powered vehicles sold after a date in the very near future? This is not an “add-on”–this is a “citizens bike, walk, and take public transport” with private vehicles reserved for the elite.
EV’s have their place. They’ve been a mainstay of material handling for decades. They were already a solid market when I started working in that world nearly 50 years ago. Historically, some of the largest man-made machines on earth ran or run on electricity. Ironically, one of them was used to assist in the mining of coal. The power structure of industry is set up to support them.
The far flung power structure for consumers, as others have opined here, is not sufficiently robust, even if EV’s were as convenient and affordable as hydrocarbon powered vehicles and equipment.
From killing fuel supplies to hike prices, to enacting emission laws to take perfectly functioning equipment out of service, to mandating EV’s, it is IMO, as you’ve opined, simply an effort to control and subjugate the population. It’s working.
Those of us who rebel I fully expect to be ratted out by others not having any connection to ‘the globablists’, same as German ‘dissidents’ were ratted out in the 30’s and sent to concentration camps. That’s the environment that such regimes foster, governing with fear.
Oh come on Gary, batteries in 1832 consisted of zinc anode and copper cathode. The lead-acid accumulator hadn’t even been invented. The EV is not going away, and it shouldn’t…
No problem with EVs being offered in a competitive car market.
The problem is Admin State’s stated aim of making them compulsory by decree and crushing taxes on ICEs.
Yep, mandate personal transportation, mandate experimental vaccines. Don’t like it? Off to the gulag. Stalin and Mao would be proud. Such atrocities didn’t happen overnight. They were incremental, just like what is happening to us right now. Remember, humans are doing this. Individual humans. Not some faraway machine or computer. Humans. God’s creatures.
Spot on Gary.We found out that electric cars and windmills(along with the Stanley steamer)were not fit for purpose and abandoned them a long time ago.Just goes to show you how our fore-fathers were right all along.
If you read between the lines, the continual lockdowns in China aren’t being done because the leaders are stupid enough to think that lockdowns help with covid. Rather, lockdowns decrease the power of the business sector in China. The government is concerned that business and wealthy individuals are getting too powerful. Lockdowns starve them of money.
Market forces ? Capitalism ? Free Trade ? Elections ? Democracy ? WEF ? BRICS ? etc. on and on and on . . . . . . ?
Turning point, as Bannon keeps saying, is not going to be anything seen before. All of the labels above mean the same root thing, which is intellectual thought bankruptcy. Going forward with increasing standards of living depends on standards to compare with. Going forward in time is absolute. Going forward needs a reference point and an element to compare and contrast.
Technology will likely continue advancing in materials science and miniaturization of electronics. But for what purpose ? Binding people closer together physically and through increasing communications – Surveillance is one – may not be the wisest choice.
Without truth of events reported and honest elections, the system fails. It fails to bind people to it. It fails the purpose of having Self-Government. It fails to hold Citizens in the paramount necessity of cooperation – the heart and mind of that system. People thus must choose. Freedom and Fight or be nothing.
The first stage was siphoning industry and intellectual property from the US to China and other below-cost producers, over the last 4 decades.
Leaving the US commoners increasingly unproductive and blighted, propped up by growing government assistance and debt.
Unsustainable, threatening to lead to collapse.
So:
The globalists/WEF and captured US government are now executing the next stage, a managed decline ending in a US vassal bloc with the elites on top – this will be the countries in yellow on the map.
The US government is captured by the powerful globalists – WEF.
WEF is dependent on the Asian industrial juggernaut.
So in reality, all global power interests are aligned despite the superficial appearances: US bloc, NATO, WEF, BRICS+…
(This means that things like the Eastern Europe conflict are not what they seem. Could it be that Russia, Ukraine, and US/NATO leaders are actually coordinating to sacrifice blood and treasure with shared ulterior motives? Interesting how the conflict is furthering the Plan, no?)
Climate change is one canard at the base of the Plan, used to constrict US bloc energy to slowly strangle these economies with inflation, plus further crippling burdens like EVs.
The next HVAC system you buy will cost 40% more due to US DOE efficiency mandates taking effect in January. A typical system will go from $7000 to $10000. Get it?
The US auto fleet will be forced to shift to substantial EV percentage to meet unrealistic MPG averages imposed by US EPA. EVs are not viable for the current transportation model, and they require $30k battery replacement every 5-10 years, this will break the US economy down further. Kapache?
The engineered [virus+shots] attrition is apparently another part of the Plan. Used to steer the US bloc sharply worse and set conditions for continued steeper decline. Are we paying attention?
US education decline accelerating with help from identity class quotas pushed by govt. Ask a college student.
All working together in a negative synergy pushing the US commoners down over time. Psychological effects adding too.
The Asian philosophy is long-term, tree roots can split rock over decades.
How to win the war without fighting, in full play now.

Not long ago I was standing in line at the post office. A college age, college attending man in front of me asked the postal worker how to fill out the envelope, and where to put the stamp. He was not from a foreign country, he was, it appeared, void of all common sense teaching.
The schools have stopped teaching cursive handwriting. I watched a small group of teens trying to read a sentence in cursive. It was humorous and pitiful, but it was not their fault. They had never been taught it. It is not “common sense” to them.
I bet they are no longer teaching how to address an envelope as well. Once again, not the kids’ fault. Their elders have let them down.
They don’t know how to read a clock with hands, either.
Heh….know who knows all that? the special ed kids…we teach them “life skills.” We teach them to count change and measure, knowing that learning those basic skills opens new pathways in the brain, making other learning possible and easier. Too bad the rest of the education system forgot about that and doesn’t realize that letting “smart” devices do basic tasks lets pathways go dormant.
Now they tell people, as they age, to do things like puzzles to keep their minds active, but if we all just do our own calculations, map reading, etc—- same thing. And if we taught our children to do the same—we would not be sinking into third world status at the rapid rate that we are.
But if wishes were horses…(do we still know old, cultural touchstones like that?)
I kinda chuckled, reading your post, and thinking of the thieves who were in my house a couple weeks ago wandering around seeing all those old Telechron clocks and not knowing how to read the time. Worthless to them, hence they were left. Bizarre world.
It is interesting to remember that the ‘west’/WEF nations only represent about 20% of global countries. With the exception, perhaps, of the US and Australia, that do have access to their own fossil fuel products, the EU, specifically does not. And is in a downward economic spiral. It will be interesting to see how the population of the EU, after a potentially very cold winter, accepts the direction their governments want to take them. In the meantime, apparently Biden has very quietly ok’d a new fossil fuel project in the Gulf of Mexico.
Yet the royal European elites are the true power behind the NWO. They are destroying their own ‘homeland’ in their centuries old quest for world domination and population serfdom/obliteration.
Other factions behind this, as well. Think of Rockefeller, etc. Much of this began at the turn of the 20th century, where Rockefeller, Rhodes, Mellon, Carnegie, Morgan, Rothschild, etc., decided that in order to attain their goal of ownership of all the world’s resources, they needed to reduce the global population, infiltrate medicine (they actually pushed the allopathic meds we use today), infiltrate, education, politics, etc.
They are not European.
Remember the lesson of “The Prodigal Son.” Maybe his name was Kevin. 🤡 He drove himseslf to his own doom – even beyond the point where his friends washed their hands of him. He didn’t come to his senses until he was staring at an angry, hungry pig. (An animal which, delicious though they are, can kill you.) Yet he was always a son of privilege who could have gone home at any time, and of course eventually did. There, he was fully reinstated to become once again what he always was.
I don’t like to think that “The West™” is so stubborn and so stupid as to have the same experience – again, “by their own choices” – but I am beginning to think that they have doomed themselves to do so. You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
National suicide.
Energy, money, communications.
That’s pretty much it.
The failure of western countries to control their government spending (while enriching its political leaders) is leading to restrictions on energy and communications.
It’s why the West is sooo concerned with Russia leading the world off US dollar reserve system.
Once US citizens understand the fiat currency debacle, the government can only survive with limitations in place.
“…it simply means they want to make the decisions, and they do not want corporations to become more powerful than they are.”
Gee Sundance, they don’t want Fascism…what a concept. 😉 It’s too bad we have to start unraveling our own Fascism here in the US. While Twitter seems to be loosing their leftist stitchings, Google & FB will probably be much more difficult.
The auto workers unions are gonna be extinct when GM, Ford and Dalmer all move the plants to India. Ya’ll keep voting for the idiot dems tho.
in light of Dominion maybe you need to reassess your analysis as it seems to include a massive logic flaw in the argument….vis a vis the VOTING part
so it supports my theory that illegal immigration just exploits people to do slave labor. after all the cheapest labor is slave labor.
The modern Plantation State was introduced in the 1914 Harrison Tax act.
Interesting that the term “service based economy” has been around for several decades. From the very beginning it was a circle I couldn’t square. How could an industrial based economy unmatched in history be replaced and we would benefit? Obviously this scheme was hatched long ago while we whistled past the graveyard oblivious to our own coming destruction.
“Service-based economy” is just another illusion. Somebody has to make things, and that somebody had better be you.
As my family and I prepare for the great unknown that may or may not come, we gather the tools that might be needed along with the skills to use those tools.
Those who don’t have water to drink, or a way to gather water when the power has been out for weeks, or a way to purify water will be finding people who do. Or they will die.
Those who don’t have a way to stay warm, and don’t have shelter from the storm, whether in the city or the country, had better find a way to make both shelter and heat, or they will die.
Those who don’t have food, don’t know how to find food, or how to hunt for food, had better find a way to do so, or they will die.
Water, shelter, heat and food. All basics that require learned skills, or having just been around people who did those things and remembering some of what they saw.
Because the lazy, smart-phone-snob children I see these days, those that think they know more than everybody else by virtue of knowing more about smart phones than anyone else, aren’t going to make it long if our country comes to a crashing halt.
Add in, those who’s resifence is BELOW the sewage treatment plant, elevation wise.
Stuff really DOES flow downstream, if not pumped by electric pumps, upstream.
If they don’t have some way to shut off the drainline, running from their house to the sewer, whenever anyone above them flushes THEIR toilet, the stuff is going to flow into the house “downstream”, when the power is out.
And no, houses don’t normally HAVE a shut off valve, on the sewer line, but one CAN be installed.
😉
Good point and part of the reason why, after working in that world on the effluent pumps and other stinky stuff, I’ve always had my own septic system as an adult. The stuff begins and ends on my own property and the grass is indeed greener around the septic tank and leach field.
It is so funny/odd that you brought up sewage/septic systems.
Here in socialist Minnesota they started requiring that all new septic systems be installed uphill from the house.
Uphill.
So every septic system now requires a cutter/crusher to do its job in the house before a pump sends it uphill to the mound.
Why would they do that on purpose? I always thought it was because they are idiots. Now I’m thinking this is just part of the grand evil scheme.
There is no housing
shortage for American citizens. That “shortage” was invented and relentlessly pushed by fake news in order to advance Agenda 21’s rezoning agenda, to explain their need to build high-density workforce developments for illegal border jumpers.
The rest of us may be trying to live above our means. There is shelter to fit every budget, but if you want to live in a bustling downtown or popular tourist area, then popularity drives that cost.
I would like to live on an ocean bluff next to the Trumps, but alas, I can’t afford it. That doesn’t mean there’s a housing shortage. It means I need to leave my parents basement and look for a place I can actually afford.
It would greatly help my ‘budget’ if the USA wasn’t reduced to a service economy that sinks all boats. That is also driven by the Agenda 21 New/One World Order’s open borders initiative.
When they started pushing this service industry crap, I was in HS. As a high schooler I KNEW it was nuts. Like, where are you going to get the money? The goods?
Everyone should take about 15 minutes to see these three videos by John Stossell and physicist Mark Mills. Most people know this is a scam. This will absolutely verify for you.

China Doubles Down On Coal Despite Global Push To Go Green

China ‘built over three times as much coal plant capacity as the rest of the world in 2020’ – It commissioned almost 40GW in 2020, equivalent to building more than one large plant every week – 4 Feb 2021

They weren’t “sleeping”:
Americas Elite werent sleeping. Theyre complicit because the arrogant s.o.bs thought they could control the situation.
💰 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Note that I said that they weren’t sleeping.
And it was the mounds of cash to be made that obscured their vision and caused them to rationalize that the CCP would democratize when ALL of the evidence about what their actual plan was was in plain sight for anyone who bothered to look.
The CCP has simply proved the truth of the old commie adage, true when western governments are multinational corporation owned as ours is and don’t PREVENT IT:
“A capitalist will sell you the rope you hang him with.”
I would not say it’s the “American Elite” who think that way (those Elites will have no consequences; they are well financed and will not be affected by whatever happens). IMO, it’s the American indoctrinated youth and the ignoramus adults who still listen to the local broadcasts and watch The View, etc. Also IMO, they won’t wake up until it’s too late, until the country actually crashes to a dead-stop halt.
Coal is easily the most abundant fossil fuel on this planet. And it can be burned cleanly if you can figure out what to do with the ash. (Mix it into roadway pavement, for instance. Add it to concrete.)
A curious consequence of the fact that CO2 is heavier than air will be that Chinese crop fields will be more productive: plants consume CO2 to make oxygen.
That was posted to show the hypocrisy of the “green” morons when it comes to CO2 in the West versus the primary and growing perps in the East. I am not a CO2 paranoid. Far from it.
no chemistry for you I see…..look at a periodic table and rethink your calculations or better yet look up the data of experts and quit repeating utter rubbish
I would expect the poster was comparing the molecular mass of CO2 to the molecular mass of O2/N2, of which dry air is generally composed of at a relative percentage, commonly 21/78. CO2 is ‘heavier’ in a gravity environment, so he posited that it ‘sinks’.
My only experience with CO2 is as a fire suppression agent and using it as a welding gas in the shop. It does seem to hug the ground and ‘sink’. In the environment as a greenhouse gas, outside my wheelhouse.
This story cuts both ways: LDCs will build and sell EVs to western economies, thus displacing further earnings from western laborers.
BUT … LDCs will also build and sell EVs into their OWN economies, thus furthering the advance of dangerous, inefficient lithium-powered vehicles into markets much better suited to petrol and diesel-powered cars.
If you read the story as I outlined above, this is a win-win for the globalist greens.
“EVs” are a hopeless dream. We don’t have the power generating capacity, and we don’t have the batteries. But those who wish to devastate another nation’s economy can use it as a powerful lever as long as all the proper palms are greased. They will say they never saw it coming: greedy fools always do.
They will say they never saw it coming: greedy fools always do.
Yep.

The entire notion of “Build Back Better” and the “[not-the-]World Economic Forum” just might die with very-old man Soros when Father Time finally comes to take him to Hell. But “the rest of the world” is not just BRICS – it is “the rest of the world.”
No one actually passed a law granting “The West™” omnipotent economic power nor a currency that “must” be used. SWIFT can and has been replicated using off-the-shelf crypto technology. Anyone can build and fund a bank. And, it makes perfect sense to require to be paid in one’s own currency so that the seller does not bear the inconvenience nor the cost of currency conversion. Also, their governments do not harbor the illusion that they can “simply, print” trillions of copies of their currency-unit without consequences. (“The rest of the world” does bear those consequences, and is very tired of doing so.)
Oh, yeah. And, when faced with a mere eight month long not-so-kinetic war with a serious enemy, they are not running out of socks and ammunition! 🤡
And, finally, “the rest of the world” consists of more people, and more tangible resources, than “The West™” has ever controlled. It doesn’t really take long to put two and two together, now does it? There will never be a “uni-polar world,” and in fact there never has been.
Praying for that solar flare..
I was told by a gen x that there is no difference between charging an electric car than a cell phone. It s just uses a bigger cord and it’s free.
Gen X folks like myself are between 42 and 57. You were probably speaking to a Gen Y/Millenial (25-41), the generation completely raised by the later Baby Boomers.
Not everywhere. Some charging stations make you pay for that electricity–that charges that battery!
Total ignorance.
yeah, ignorance….heh heh…why should you have to pay for something requiring INFRASTRUCTURE, FUEL, and MANAGEMENT to transfer to you
In the future, if you live in areas with frequent Brown Outs (many yellow areas soon), what good would EVs be?
and you will
Our rulers know that controlling energy means controlling us. They can control everything from heating our homes to food production and distribution. We are living under the illusion of freedom but it is only freedom within the constraints allowed by those ruling over us. What they are doing is working because it doesn’t involve armies moving in to crush you. Instead we are the frogs slowly boiling in the pot, enjoying ourselves as the chains of totalitarianism are slowly being placed around us.
At what point do we finally get to another fracturing in America due to this economic cleaving? People are clamoring now for a ‘New America’. Will the ‘New California’ be the way forward? If not, will we start to see reverse migration out of America?
“… if you follow the Build Back Better agenda to its natural conclusion, the entire yellow zone becomes a service driven economy.”
If you follow the Build Back Better agenda to its natural conclusion, the entire yellow zone becomes a service driven economy to serve the entire grey zone.
Obama and Biden gave/give the sovereignty of the United States away. No wonder Xi and Putin are smiling.
the end goal is for NO ONE to afford anything.. voila: the creep to socialism communist fascism to take good care of us..
Finland is looking for alternate solutions. Better batteries:

The Left we are now up against are anarchists, not socialists/Marxists etc.
Their plan is step 1: total societal collapse
step 2: build paradise upon the ruins
They are apocalyptic ideologues.
Their obsession with racism is meant to justify all the suffering they will unleash. We are to being punished for our racism, sexism etc.
Environmentalists? Millions of trees are being cut down, around the world, to make room for windmills and solar panels. But all will be corrected when their heaven on earth arrives.
How come the media doesn’t recommend turning off all those TV’s to save energy for EV use? Just asking for a friend.
modern TVs consume little electricity….refrigerators far more on a yearly basis or even the thing you are typing on even if it is the laptop variety
I wonder how much farm land is being destroyed by solar farm replacement. If one wanted to change it back to farm land, how long would land recovery take to do so?
Who was the last American martyr? You can’t name one.
The 13 serviceman at Abby Gate were effectively martyred by the corrupt Biden Admin.
Only one like on this?
Obama is America’s most dangerous enemy and he and Michelle intend to re-occupy the White House in early 2025.
The US survives in its present state because it prints the world’s reserve currency.
There is no national competitor on the horizon, all the possible alternatives have at least one impossible characteristic.
The major threat to the US’s requirement to live on debt is some sort of IMF SDR basket currency for international trade.
It will automatically become the new petrodollar/ commodity currency.
The effect on the standard of living in the US would be profound.
Schwab,theleader and founder of the WEF recently said that China is “admirable” in it’s governance. He likely thinks China’s system is compatible with his own goals. IMO,China believes the WEF is doing the preliminary,ground work for China’s eventual world dominance.
Both groups want to reduce the world’s population to being their serfs.
Topple Putin and the WEF controls BRICS oil and gas.
TCTH has the most intelligent commenters, I must say. Thanks all.
What I fear is the yellow zone becomes a windmill-cluttered environment. The environazis don’t seem bothered by that eventuality.
Anyone driving thru the 210/Palm Springs area will get a depressing preview of that eventuality. It’s a sickening site and one that may never return to its natural state.
I wondered about the economics of this in the late 20th Century when auto-worker unions were demanding more and more.
The person buying the car can’t have much a lower income than the person making the car?
That’s when imports became cheaper?
They have an answer for that, bicycles. The ones with the fat tires in winter. Very affordable. Remember those old pictures of Chinese roadways packed with bicycles? That is what Europe and American will soon look like.
If you have a commute, you will have to move back to those filthy dangerous Democratic run cities. They really do need more working taxpayers to keep their cities from going under.
FWEF !
The BRICS leaders surely look like better leaders. They are putting the interests of their countries first and resisting the globalists. They are using efficient forms of energy and not embracing the globalist woke agenda. Western leaders have become the real tyrants.
The diabolical scheme of The Great Reset is to gradually impoverish the West, except for the rich so-called Elites, through intentional draconian regulations disguised under the smokescreens of Climate Change and Progressivism. Cheap labor and minimal regulation will continue to be exploited in the developing nations. We have seen the result of deindustrialization in the West and the moves to a Service Economies. The result has been a hollowing out of the middle class due to a lack of living wage jobs. The distance between CEO compensation and working wages continues to grow. The eventual homogenization of the masses will create on a World scale the hellish conditions of the People Republic of China, the Reset model for controlling billions of people. I recommend Michael Rectenwald’s new book, The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda.
