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.
“Climate Change [Con Job] Policy Makes Europe Too Expensive [And Too Stupid] for Low-Cost EV Manufacturing“
It’s sad so many seemingly intelligent people buy into the climate hoax. And refuse to listen to anything that refutes the nonsense.
What would be the effect of this Global Warming fraud and coercion, if successful? To make part of the world fools and part hypocrites; to support criminal level roguery and error all over the earth. The power mad and money grubbing global warming fraudsters are trying to convert simple and natural changes in the weather into an engine with which to enslave mankind to filch ever more power and ever more wealth to themselves. These anti-scientists have, in fact, declared war on science and humanity.
A question that should be made available to everyone, everywhere: How much money will be necessary to stop the damage from “climate change”?
Humans cannot ‘stop the damage from “climate change”…. or did you meant “the policy of climate change?”
Zero, nit, none, Geoffgo. Learn a little about the interdependency of plants and animals all over the planet, and then study some geology to find out how insignificant Occasional Cortex’s prediction of 12 more years to go in 2018 and Al Gore’s prediction of 12 more years to go 15 years before that. Then find out how long the Earth has been orbiting the Sun and divide 12 into that time frame.
On the contrary, if you were actually trying to question the whole idea of “climate change” then my bad. I couldn’t tell what you meant from what you wrote. 🙂
He was indeed questioning it.
It was satire with maybe a little dark humor.
“Assuming “ there is damage from actual climate change? Trifling.
The better question is how many people must die to stop the damage from climate change. Enviro-nazis are misanthropes–they despise humanity.
And the progressive answer as with any program, “we just have not spent enough money yet to make a difference.”
First they rebelled against God. Then he gave them up to their folly.
Ya, actually it says, “he gave them over to a depraved mind”, if it’s the Romans 1 passage you’re alluding to
Geoengineering of the weather has caused the real problems e.g. prolonged drought in much of the most productive farming areas.
It is part of the plan to enslave and depopulate the world.
… it’s a cult…
The logical conclusion is it isn’t at all about the climate.
Bingo!
“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts.
“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” Chakrabarti (AOC’s former cos)added.

Obviously. It is about installing a small group of technocratic elites who will control all the resources — and of course, they count on the fact that it sounds enough like a superhero plot or the most-abused term of our times “conspiracy theory” that they CAN come right out and tell us what they are doing.
Even the brainless joe biden has talked of the “transition” And because it DOES sound so fanciful, so science-fiction-y, we say it is China or Russia or the climate or whatever even when they come right out and tell us what they are doing AS they are doing it.
PDT gave a speech the October before he was elected that was different from his usual rallies, where he spoke seriously about the threat of globalism… and the Archbishop, too (apologizes for not recalling the name; you probably know who I mean.)
It will be a global government, much like China’s, but not CCP-owned, unless they are granting membership to: (insert here, all the usual names of those who have been and still are dismantling America and the rest of Western civilization, beginning with barack obama), but owned by a new type of entity, a global entity whose members do not now and will not then see themselves as citizens of a nation.
Yep.
“One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.
So what is the goal of environmental policy?
“We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” said Edenhofer.
https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/another-climate-alarmist-admits-real-motive-behind-warming-scare/
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, made a similar statement.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said in anticipation of last year’s Paris climate summit.
“This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economicdevelopment model for the first time in human history.”
https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/another-climate-alarmist-admits-real-motive-behind-warming-scare/
Christine Stewart, Canada’s former minister of the environment said: “No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits. … Climate change (provides) the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”Tim Wirth, former U.S. undersecretary of state for global affairs and the person most responsible for setting up the Kyoto Protocol, said: “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”

It is called mass formation psychosis which I think is a form of mass hypnosis
Oh, sort of like the COVID-19 fiasco. I don’t know what ‘mass formation psychosis’ is, but I bet the Globalist Demcommies are trafficking in it.
Also, TDS fits the discriprion.

Glad I’m old. I’ll ride a horse before I buy into the EV bullshit. Seems to work for the Amish.
The EV movement will be a failure. The materials are not there. And, the supply chains cannot ramp up.
70% of chinese lithium batteries are made in Uighur Muslim Concentration Camps. The necessary Cobalt is being dug by child slave miners in Africa.
And the US doesn’t give a flip!
The US government and/or the Multi-national corporations don’t give a flip. We normal Americans are exhausted from giving lots of flips…
Bless. Just what I was thinking.
you should look at the photos of the devastation left by the mines when they are through with an area….looks like the surface of the moon
The EV are not for us – they are for the Elites after we’re all eliminated.
Yep.
Gonna buy me a mule and name it Brandon.
Did you mean buy an ass?
You mean an ass, right?
Ya know, mentioning the Amish…
….I am thinking…
if we all started to shop in Amish businesses, where they are available…
we might just be able to impact the big corporate types. One or two products at a time.
quarterly trips to buy from amish and stockpile food to survive vs government inflation
I travel the Amish district. It was the only area that was normal during lockdown, schools, commerce, church, etc. I pondered, what if decided to be Amish?
They are zombies who no longer understand common sense
Their ideology is all that matters, come what may.
It’s not that ‘climate’ is a hoax or that ‘climate change’ is a hoax. The climate, like weather, exists and is real. The climate is changing in 2022. It was changing in 1922. It was changing in 22, and in -2222 BC. The climate was changing long before human industrialization. The climate is ALWAYS changing and has always been changing. Deindustrialization, with consequent poverty and solidification of power into the hands of a planetary oligarchy, is not going to stop the climate from changing.
The key point it that there is no evidence that WE are CAUSING deleterious climate change. Efforts to reorganize and depower our economies are not in any way shape or form based in dispassionate scientific analysis. These anti-white internationalists are incompetent and dishonest when it comes to counting votes. Only a fool would trust their interpretation of complex geophysical data. Their objective is power. They don’t care about whether your people go extinct in serving their ends and they don’t care how much damage and suffering they cause the peoples of the world on the way to their getting the power they want.

Excellent analysis.
Wow, this is logical and dramatic — therefore, no one will report on it! Keep all of your warm clothing, and fight these evil people however possible.
Yep
The industrial revolution, the modern world was mostly driven by coal and oil.
For many centuries European peasants had windmills and water wheels.
That is the world of the peasant, the world our feudalists/fascists want us to return to.
This is what “sustainable” means.
True progress would involve nuclear power, so nuclear power is unthinkable.
If you cannot think the way our fascist ascendant rulers think, you will be forever baffled and indignant.
It’s pretty eye opening to realize the current Western regimes despise the masses so entirely.
They find most of us superfluous.
superfluous = useless eaters
It all makes sense.
The DO need us as consumers. If we trained ourselves to NOT consume JUNK and junk made outside our country, things would change.
We need a boycott of these multinationals.
Remember, American consumers spend more than others.
And they mean to act on our superfluous presence.
The head of the snake :
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/hundreds-of-former-israeli-surveillance-agents-hold-top-roles-at-google-facebook-microsoft-and-amazon/
The headline alone, is frightening.
Mims:
Yeah, that is the be-all and end-all of the limousine liberals.
Whatever is good for the people must be bad for the environment, or something.
The ugliness of feudalism, that birthed America, has returned in the environmental ideal.
Bad for the common man means good.
The anarchism/nihilism of the modern Left is encased in this madness (Antifa/ BLM).
Only Christians seem capable of countering this madness. You exist because God chose it so.
Do you know that the few nuclear power plants we have, heat and cool a little over ……30% of US homes.
Digital feudalism is their goal.
Actually, Nuclear power is too expensive. Has a high “Capex” or capital cost. Look at Georgia Power example for a recent case study (it’s called the Vogtle project). It’s just too danged expensive to build. Ratepayers won’t pay for it. But yes, I get your overall point
” 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.”
And as we all know – he enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The BRICS countries can also strangle the EV craze by doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the cost of raw materials.
without even that you just do a projected production with the needed raw materials for the EVs they are trying to force on America and the EU and it is NOT possible…..not even close….you do not have what is needed to MAKE them……if you did you could not charge them with your current electrical grid and supply
I wouldn’t say friends but we most certainly have a common foe. If MAGA gets help from others with common interest then maybe globalism will fail in short order as opposed to a longer purge over decades.
The CO2 climate change theory/conjecture was created to destroy the economies industrialized west and their allies.
The Green Tree has Red Roots.
I think the yellow zone becomes a waste land. Upside, it would eliminate the incentive for illegal immigration.
Perhaps we should do a straight swop?
All the welfare critters would then be forced to work hard to survive and get on their feet.
Big government would also be unaffordable.
You have it the wrong way around.
Mass illegal immigration was used to make sure all western countries would be so destabilized internally with millions of 3rd world invaders that it would be impossible to recover from the planned industrial collapses that they are now doing.
If they had not done this normal European invention would recover from the issues, as they did after the 2 world wars and the depression.
One leads to the other. This is the culmination of the destroy all European and anglo countries that they have been running for 50 years.
A whopping 41 percent of climate scientists say they don’t believe the official “climate change” narrative that’s promoted by politicians and the corporate media, a new report has revealed.

Didn’t areas around Buffalo get (or are getting the second round) 14 feet of global warming??
Look up Dane Whittington “weather geo engineering” website. He can tell you all about “global cooling/warming/change “ climate. Lots of evidence.
I have witnessed over 80 years of Buffalo’s cycles, and beyond that, it can be historically proven that cycles will continue Infinitum.
Makes me wondered where the political/corporate media types got there climate change degrees. Can we see those degrees?
Besides, I don’t want to see one more “it’s based on consensus, so we all have to believe it” BS. That’s not how science works. The outlier can be the only one right, for that matter. Anyway, it’s irrelevant.
This is the problem with ideologues. Nothing can get in the way of their fundamentally flawed thinking…if thinking is what one calls their lunatic, ill thought out fantasies.
There is no consideration of “what comes next” or “what if things don’t go according to plan”. They are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It can’t be done.
Just see where Europe is because of their insane policy of banning Russian fuel right before winter, for goodness sake. Even the dimmest dim bulb would be able to connect dots.
But for European ” elites” there are no dots. So as their industries shut down, as the earth they claim they want to save is raped (forests decimated by desperate people who aren’t too keen to “freeze for Ukraine” and so are chopping down trees at a furious pace), and borders have been completely opened to cultures completely antithetical to a once civilized, Christian Europe, these cult worshipping humanity despisers keep on keeping on….completely convinced ecological fascism is the answer.
Suicide for Europe will be anything but painless. It is a terrible, dreadful thing to watch.
And as we watch it, we will be watching the future that is being planned for us.
I fear so.
I posit the WEFfers know well the destruction they are imposing, and that ultimately that is their central task.
WEF is a suicide pact for the West in service to the Chinese.
You are not wrong, Maquis. But if they think there will be any spoils left for themselves, I believe they will be very disappointed.
(And, my friend, I hope you had a bless-ed Thanksgiving.)
Blessedly quiet, no complaints, merci.
For us as well…de rien.
And with it a suicide pact for the WEF. Their logic escapes me how they can strive for an end of the things they wish to control. Are they really so full of themselves that they’re blind to the reality of China confiscating their wealth and power without hesitation or reservation? Feeding the dragon in the belief they will be eaten last?
Yes, they are. They might just be the postprandial brandy.
Homicide, not suicide….
they are not idealogues – this is their only method to enslave ALL THE PEOPLE and rule them with a FEW.
creating a DATA plan for human activity.
In the sense that these monsters believe they are gods (see terrifying psycopath Yuval Noah Harari’s speeches) who intend to change all of humanity into freakish part human part machine creatures, and firmly believe not only that they have the right to do so, but also believe they are infallible, untouchable…I’d say they are indeed ideologues. The evil ideology of atheistic obeisance to the antichrist.
It is impossible to over-estimate the depravity of their goals and methods.
Humanity as a whole has never before faced such peril.
No, it is not possible..and if in my quieter moments I contemplate the full agenda, it terrifies me, Maquis.
I am not sure I could leave a reliable link, but last night I read a piece offered by Archbishop Vigano on Lifesite…
“Abp. Vigano: The Covid pandemic farce served as a trial balloon for the New World Order”
This is easily found. It is a remarkable essay, if I can call it that. And as I have come to believe that Almighty God speaks through this good servant of His, he has outlined precisely the conclusions I have come to. He points directly to the antichrist, which I’ve never heard him do.
If you have the inclination and/or time, may I suggest you read it? Increasingly, I feel we are in those prophesied times. And perhaps oddly enough, I felt much comforted by his words. I commend it to you.
I agree, Betsy.
Vigano is a treasure, and since he isn’t running for Political office, he can and does speak THE TRUTH, on everything thats going on.
Yes, God is speaking thru this man.
I’m so glad you feel it as well, Dutchman. And as far as I know he is still in hiding. He’s quiet in his homilies. There is just something about his presence that draws me to him and what he speaks of. This one of his, in particular, had a sense urgency about it to my reading. As if something is getting closer….
Many of us also feel it. Everything is upside down. Praise God, Justice is on the horizon.
Thanks for that, Bet, and I second your encouragement for all to read this.
What a blessing to see such a voice with such a well-articulated and all-encompassing view of this Satanic Conspiracy with no equivocation or doubt, a magnificent distillation of our plight.
I pray that Vigano may serve with PDJT as JPII did with Reagan, marshaling courage and lighting the way, though the mighty Soviet Union was scarcely a squall in comparison to the tempest about us now.
Abp. Viganò: The COVID pandemic farce served as a trial balloon for the New World Order
If you start from this evidence, you will understand that it is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.
Oh thank you so much, my friend, for posting the link.
And how well you put it. A squall this is not.
I don’t know if you ever read his letters to President Trump before the 2020 coup. They were truly remarkable. He addressed President Trump in affectionate terms within those two letters, and I found them quite moving. I haven’t searched for them so do not know if they are “findable”. But even then, he was delivering his message.
The section which you thoughtfully reproduced here was the one that impacted me the most. I could feel myself taking a deep breath…
May Almighty God keep this gentle man safe and in His care. This I pray fervently.
Wow, a very compelling interpretation for mankind!Warning, its 4 am and….Aggiegirl is thinking deeper…a few lines from the Archbishop (about graphene) jogged a questioning thought process… Hanford and Oak Ridge…Fermi and Argonne…
Oak Ridge:
“We play a pivotal role in America’s energy transformation into a clean, efficient, flexible, and secure energy future. Our researchers deliver breakthroughs in energy from generation to distribution and storage to end use.”
“drugs that more effectively treat diseases”
“cars with better gas mileage,”
The above are snippets from across the site and from the neutron page of Oak Ridge.
https://neutrons.ornl.gov/
So what goes on at these places, systems research and engineering, physics etc…and who puts it all together…?
https://www.anl.gov/
https://www.fnal.gov/pub/science/index.html
Note the various websites end in dot gov…
I have been to Fermi and had a tour…looking at that one place, the vast scope of the machinery, gauges, dials machines etc…boggles the mind when thinking of ‘particle physics…
All of these places have the intelligent working there…super smart people…and rest assured while working on government endorsed projects, they are probably doing their own research into “other stuff”, their own ideas, on the side.
Four in the morning will do that to you, Aggiegirl.
It’s “the drugs that treat diseases more effectively” that catches my eye…my gimlet eye. It all depends on what the meaning of “effectively” is. I suspect I know what THEY mean.
Thank you for the links. But when I see “.gov”, I now expect the absolute worst. And I suspect we will all get exactly that if we haven’t learned the deadly lesson of these past two years.
I made the mistake once…and once only when I knew no better long ago…of conflating smart with smarts. As far as I can assess, experience has taught me that smart has nothing to do with intelligence. And in fact, it seems the smart people are the very ones buying in to the antihumanist propaganda and are the (perhaps) unwitting accomplices to their and our demise as those who have been made in His image.
Words mean what ” they” say they mean…per Alice in Wonderland, no more, no less. I don’t speak that language.
So when the antichrist acolytes, the WEF, have as their slogan (paraphrasing) “No One Left Behind”, all I hear is that there will be no one who will be able to escape their clutches.
I am listening intently instead to the voice of God’s emissary on the earth, which is His and which He created. Whatever that good servant’s voice says, no matter how frightening the content of his utterances, I know the Source. His plans for us are far far sweeter than those of His vile, unholy enemy.
Thank you for sharing that, Betsy. Abp. Vigano is addressing Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International. FTA – And yet, precisely at a time when it is difficult to find authoritative points of reference-both in the religious sphere and the temporal one-we see an ever-increasing number of those who are understanding, opening their eyes, and recognizing the criminal mind behind the evolution of events…..
You are so welcome, Jutza.
And I believe you are correct. I saw an article this eventual if which said that more and more doctors here are seeing so much in the way of injuries and death post beastly jab that their better selves have come to the fore, and they are speaking out, damn the consequences.
It is true that there is safety in numbers. So I pray these people, who have completely abrogated their oaths and caused terrible inexcusable harm will be able to grow in those numbers.
I pray Vigano made as much of an impact on those who heard him as he does with me.
I often wonder if the scamdemic was a diabolical diversionary process for and of the evil, as the forces start to align for the end of days.
I think that’s exactly what it was. With millions taking a vaxxxxxine financed by a man who has advocated depopulation using vaxxxxxines.
It is written in the Book.

ON SITE EUROPEAN OBSERVATIONS
Thank you, Don…of course that will not be reported here.
They have no plans for next year.
They have stockpiled for this year and may manage to just squeak by…..weather permitting.
Next year will be the turning point.
It doesn’t look good at this point…
Boris Johnson gave a talk the last couple of days ago.
Very telling…he stated that not all of EU countries were
on board with the Ukraine mess. Germany wavered citing economic reasons and cheap energy through Russian and effects sanctions would have. And only agreed as long as it was a short time before resolved. I believe Italy was another that wavered.
Germany was/is a weak link. Question is-did Germany start to waver and that is why Nordstream was blown up? To bring Germany back in line? Worth considering.
Of course Germany now denying it. I don’t accept that they didn’t say it. Stolz visit to China comes to mind. I listened to Boris Johnson and heard what he said….is Germany calling him a liar?
Again, next winter will be bad…… I believe for all of us.
What a thoughtful post, 4gypsybreeze.
This is what I mean when I say they can’t see any dots.
As Lord Macmillan said when asked what could throw his government off course, “Events, dear boy, events.”
In their hurry to finish what was started so many decades ago, they are being overtaken by “events” they haven’t planned for, and over which they have no control.
UN Secretary General Guterres and the depraved madman Schwab signed an agreement to speed up Agenda 2030. The banks and western governments are certainly on board with that, now pushing digital IDs and all that they entail.
I’m sure the idea that we will not all lie down waiting for the hobnailed genocidal jackboot to land on our collective faces has ever crossed their minds.
Events…
…and I pray the eventual fightback, costly as it will be for us, will make it clear they are not gods in any way, shape, or form; but rather they are amoral malignancies, malformations of bone and tissue who are in no way immune from whatever “events” might take place.
Something for them to contemplate in their quieter moments…
Thank you. And yes they are as you described. I think of them as sinister and evil.
It is so sad that many people can talk about their favorite TV shows, their favorite sports teams and players, but they have no knowledge, or appear to even seek to gain knowledge about what is going on in the world.
They only repeat talking points.
I may be presented with an idea or a train of thought someone expresses. But I have to “process ” it first. It is using that gift God gave us all-a brain.
I return the compliment – your posts are always thought provoking and quite on point.
Betsy has a level of knowledge and understand, that I often envy! Your compliments are perfect.
Service economies who don’t manufactur or produce anything are at the mercy of those who do, duh?
It takes many years to change your mind and dig yourself out of the hole.
WEF believes they will remain the financial center(s) of their world order.
Remember the BOA commercial from sometime around the bushy era…when everything ran on a timed thingy until someone at the check out register used cash? And everything stopped…
IN retrospect, that commerical was telling us something.
Bush or Obo pushing the ‘service’ economy so we could have ‘our needs met’ while we were busy earning money. Funny thing, there was a lot of unemployment and underemployment…people could not afford the service economy product. There were pockets of unemployment, then, in Chicago, at 23%.
Before they globalized, the Motley Fool brothers advocated for investments that made a product and not hawked ‘service’.
…. the entire yellow zone becomes a service driven economy.
Also NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) on a global scale. Resource industries (mining, logging etc ..) and manufacturing – along with the pollution – will be moved to the Grey Zone. Large areas of sparsely populated areas like the deserts in China will receive big payouts (cash and carbon credits) to run large landfills and toxic waste dumps. And all of it free from the watchful eyes of OSHA and the EPA.
It’s an offshoot of the indulgences sold by the cult. Toss a few bucks to the bum on the street and you have a day of guilt-free consumption, never mind the drugs the bum will now shoot into his arm.
Toss a few bucks to the EV company in some poor part of the world and you are free to continue in your lifestyle. Never mind the slave labor and children mining cobalt, sorting it with their fingers.
Give a few bucks to open borders zealots and live a splendorous life in your triple-locked Mcmansion complete with alarm system and “all are welcome here” sign.
The cult sells indulgences to fit any price range.
I hated it when George HW Bush said it and iI hate it more now.
If you don’t produce anything you don’t create any wealth.
You have an economy that just swaps dollars among itself, but the wealth is exfiltrated to the producers.
Swapping dollars among yourself causes the dollars to all accumulate at the top.
Ultra-rich and ultra-poor.
I’ve heard that said about the economy of France, where about all they do boils down to taking turns where half the workforce serves Espresso to the other half at roadside cafes.
The economic multiplier effect works really good in boosting the GDP in a closed system, but when you kneecap a nations manufacturing base and run huge trade deficits it does not. When the money stops circulating in our economy the multiplier effect stops.
This howeling out of American manufacturing has been ongoing since the late 60s. My home town of Springfield Ma. was a hub of manufacturing including Indian motorcycle , craftsman hand tools, Bosh invented fuel injection, Springfield Armory, Milton Bradly,Smith and Wesson And hundreds of Job shops feeding the aircraft industry for Pratt and Whitney. The American automotive industry with the Durye and Knox Motors. All gone. Everything gone to cheaper China. Textile industry was centered in this region along with tool and die makers- gone. The aftermath has been an influx of welfare recipients and illegal immigrants working construction jobs at reduced wages. Without oil what’s left of a once booming economy will collapse completely leaving the BRICS coalition to build junk that will be paid for with a government subsidy. This same gutted manufacturing economy exists up and down the East Coast and thru the Ohio river valley. The remnants are what’s left. Trump has the plan to change this country. To repeat the revolution of manufacturing that led the world. And that why I have stood with MAGA since day one.
And since nature abhors a vacuum what filled that manufacturing void? Last time I drove through that area of the world it was obvious you had best be careful which roads you drove on, and that there were sections of the city that you do NOT dare venture near if you wish to remain alive and in full possession of your effects. Springfield is a shell of its former self.
In many places Atlas has shrugged.
The extinction of Australia’s auto manufacturing industry Ford ,GM Holden (homegrown),Toyota and Mitsubishi was nothing less than a criminal act with successive governments duplicitously claiming
they were too cost inefficient and uncompetitive while allowing anything cheaper on wheels into the country to compete in a relatively small market with little to no Tariff protection. All this madness after achieving production of world class vehicles employing local people ,all models now outsourced and imported from other countries with the loss of countless jobs up and downstream in the name of free trade and Globalism.
And none of the Uniparty have the slightest interest in MAGA.
Yep, I saw it starting in the mid-70s.
Here is a thought…stay with me.
What if the globalist have planned to direct all essential manufacturing to the BRICS. Because their paymasters are the BRICS?
There is not any logical person that would pursue BBB as a policy unless you want to hobble your own nation. If you consider it through that prism then you can anticipate their next move.
thats what they want to do – hobble the USA.
they are not TEAM USA
USA got to big and to independent where it could threaten a global order if a populist became president – AKA PDJT – was a NIGHTMARE for them those 4 years
China almost died from tariffs.
Even the USA is no longer on TEAM USA.
Starving and freezing us into submission is the global plan on behalf of the WEF.
Little do they realize China will have old Klaus and pals’ johnsons for lunch.
Xi and his CCP gangsters have their own plans, rest assured.
In my book, hobbling the economy of one’s country has a name. Treason.
We must remind others that Trump said America will never be socialist.
I would love to see China go back to sleep and have the nightmare continue.
Their paymasters are the Big BRIC: China.
This article explains a lot.
The problem is much worse than fake man made climate change.
People are just not really educated. They are illiterate idiots and ideologues.

Read Ellsworth Toohey’s harangue chapter 14 “The Fountainhead” and it all makes sense.
Really really short form. Better to Rule in Hell than serve in Heaven
There are an equal number of morons in the republican party. The GOP (as opposed to MAGA) can’t survive without them.
This same scenario continues to play out in almost every major city in America – especially the ones that have been run by “highly educated, politically correct” Leftists for decades. (I am specifically thinking of my hometown of Seattle but Treepers may fill in Portland, San Francisco, LA, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, or Washington DC if they know those areas better.)
Cities that were once beautiful, well run, safe, full of lots of up and coming businesses, a vibrant arts and theatre scene, and top notch dining, having slowly turned into unsafe Hellholes, filled with drug addicted, mentally ill criminals, preying on the few tourists that still make the mistake of booking a trip to the “Great City” that they fondly remember or have heard so much about from friends who went there years ago. The businesses are boarded up, the restaurants are closed, the parks are filthy, and the stench of bodily fluids is overwhelming! The police force is a shell of its former self and not surprisingly, no one wants to come work there anymore.
BUT, even as the well to do retreat into their gated communities and the businesses rail against the City Council and the Mayor, demanding that they clean it all up, WHO do they vote for, election after election after election? That’s right – the EXACT same Leftists that have been running the city into the ground and who offer no other ideas but MORE money from the taxpayers in order to fund MORE programs to add to all the other ones that have never worked…and when someone who is merely a common sense moderate TRIES to run for office, the local media destroys them, the local politicians all rally against them, and the idiot citizens refuse to even give them a chance!
Multiply this by 1000 and you see how we end up with the classic definition of insanity…even without all of the obvious fraud and chicanery! It’s frustrating and it is discouraging but I am reaching a point where I am struggling to care what happens to any of them!!
(PS – Seneca – thinking of you today as I know you also have “woke” children who want nothing to do with you, your beliefs, or your politics…holidays are hard when families are fractured and my heart goes out to all those I know who are facing the same struggles. Be well, my friend!)
There may be hope and he is only one. I forget his name but he withdrew from the Mayoral race in Chicago because he basically, did not want to be a splitter, and let Lighfoot win as the field is quite large…and this was a Democrat Alderman…who is getting an earful from his ‘ward’ due to the crime and destruction.
Regarding woke children…the indoctrination brainwashing centers have some sort of mental ‘hold’ on our kids and grandkids…
Rebellion of adolescence and young adulthood is normal…they have somehow managed to make it permanent and capitalize on it to where it seems impossible to thwart.
And big city answers are always to throw more money at the problem.
When Obama said we would turn into a Service Economy (ie a Globalist’s Dream), and The Real President proved him wrong, so they kicked the energy inflation plan into high gear.
This is the inevitable result: if they can’t win politically, they force it upon us all.
mask for thee servers and not for me the rulers
The magic wand waving did work.
Service Driven Economy = Slave Economy
you get it
And Russia just started manufacturing vehicles again. Using the Renault plant that left and sold to Russia for practically nothing! Hints of Renault buyback option in 6 years.
Gas powered with mention of them also manufacturing EVs in the future in one article.
Some articles say some collaboration with China.
The story came out yesterday. I only have basic knowledge of what is involved.
It is called Moskvich. They have already started the manufacturing and the cars are already on the line being made.
France probably having splodey heads….good.
A Renault with a rocket launcher trailer attachment. Just what every Russian needs.
Actually…I saw an assembly line picture.
Not really a horrible looking car at all. Kind of retro 60’s. Lots of chrome.
One was actually a really pretty blue.
I loved my Renault Twingo, perfect tiny car to thread winding European alleys.
As a broke teenager in the early seventies I owned a string of Renault Dauphines.
The guys laughed as they sat at the BC going no where in their 9 mpg tri-powers because they couldn’t afford gasoline whereas I had plenty of girls with me in my funny little car because I could actually afford to take them and go places. LOL
Actually, the new version is a very nice vehicle
Reuters had a story and pictures.
But you go to heaven…
Jan “…and if you didn’t die, kills you. Ha, ha!”
Roflmao….good stuff.
It is all intentional. Lower the living standard of the West while elevating the living standard if the Rest and voila, EQUITY so no need to migrate into the West and screw up Elites’ cushy living. They don’t expect to participate in the equity.
Excellent….it’s the only way forward at this juncture I’m afraid so let’s do it. I would rather be a slave in a system of multiple somewhat equal/competing countries as opposed to just one (WEF, etc). But that’s just me as I see no chance for Free Will in the latter.
I guess the current consensus is that any fossil fuel smoke won’t migrate to Western countries because we are combatting climate change?
Meanwhile, scientists are looking into ways to cool down the Sun.
We live in the age of science by consensus.
The idiots with their geoengineering could bring about another ice age. Some say we still are not quite out of the Pleistocene ice age. The evidence points to glaciers in Greenland from that ice age. There is evidence of many glaciers in the the mountains are remnants of the little ice age 700yrs ago.
Huge volcanic eruptions in the past blocked enough of the suns energy causing glaciers in the high mountains as recently as the 20th century. 14 thousand yrs ago the Chicago area was under a mile of ice.
Oh and Old Joe and the shysters in his gang could spark WW3 and if it goes nuclear we could end up with an extended nuclear winter.
“………remnants of the little ice age 700yrs ago.”
Mommy….how does an ice age end???
Well dear, in order for the ice to melt the earths temperature must maintain an upward trend.
Oh! So you mean the whole globe starts warming?
Yes dear, that’s what must happen…….
The roots of this ethos for those that actually believe they are helping ‘mother earth’ go back to the sixties and early seventies. Hippies, communes, socialist ideals and so on. Naive but basically harmless.
Until hijacked by radicals, opportunists, political science professors and their elite students.
But those elite students grew up, infiltrated a plethora of important institutions and have made this platitude another wedge tool, easily and cynically used to again take advantage of youthful naivety. Greta being the archetypal example.
Instead of being scrutinized critically, virtue signaling and promoting those objectives has become the common response by a compliant MSM. Who are equally part of the scam.
It boggles the mind how gullible the public at large is. The defining word is ‘compliance’ with whatever the politicians sell and the media promotes.
If there were more Trumps and Musks to a much lesser degree then it would be easier to snap some people out of their dozing hypnosis. There are a number of other brave contrarians, but much of the public only sees things through the mainstream filter. And shredding that filter is critical.
John Stossel had a recent show that said VW has shown that EV’s are never carbon neutral, when you consider the CO2 from the mining of the raw materials, etc. At 100,000 miles ICE cars and the EV’s have contributed equal amounts of CO2. EV’s off the showroom floor have a ginourmous carbon footprint!
EV battery raw materials also come from countries that use slave and child labor.
Hat trick: CFP
These invconvenient truths are available to find for anyone who actually has any common sense. There’s plenty more on this very topic all over the internet.
But, it’s easier to just take the vax and be a ‘service oriented’ zombie.
Look up and then compare service and subservient from the Oxford dictionary…
You will get an idea, by the definitions, of what they think of us plebes…….
Remember, King George aka Prince Charles, was reported to have his valet squeeze his toothpaste onto the tooth brush…
And that is not in our DNA.
the clip I saw showed him stating the break-even point was 40k miles for “carbon neutral” but then since most batteries are depleted by then or before then this calculation does not work either
it’s called national suicide for the yellow countries…our enemies thank us very much
Will the Yellow voters ever revolt?
The energy price points out there are apparently a-ok for the US voters, otherwise the mid term referendum on Biden would have been successful.
There must come a point when the costs produced by compulsory renewables are too much to bear….but not yet it seems.
its a fools errand to draw conclusions off the midterm results
Or your head is in the sand if you don’t……
Yes they will revolt but it will take much pain and suffering. Once the masses have clearly found their way into our zeitgeist much can be accomplished. I only pray that their transformation doesn’t come too late.
But you have to remember that environmentalism is not the real goal here. The real goal is chaos first and then tyranny.
Imagine being forced to buy an expensive EV that needs a charge every 125 miles when the manufacturer tells you it will go twice that before a charge is needed. Imagine your entire battery being spent by year 2 or 3 .
I really don’t understand how the people forcing this on us haven’t been “disappeared” by now.
miles vary by ambient temperature, user activity on the throttle and accessory use as well
I wonder if they know that I can afford an EV, but will never buy one for other reasons?
It is clear to me that the WEF and NWOA (new world order a$$hole$) plan is to kill the west economically and otherwise.
Remember WWII where we turned our factories from producing domestic goods into producing war machinery. We were undefeatable. Obviously, the climate change garbage is very stupid policy, transfer of wealth from western nations. I suspect these same people were instrumental in stealing the 202o presidential election in order to see through their plans, the demise of the west.
Covid vaccines, the same, kill the west.
https://rumble.com/v1wac7i-world-premier-died-suddenly.html
A service economy still requires somebody creating wealth by producing things to serve.
Indeed, but they are overseas.
Some companies in Australia import their bread ready to be baked from Ireland….not boutique bread…your everyday loaf.
The cost equations escape me.
I purchased a beautiful apple pie from our local Coles store (Australia) a few weeks ago, noticed after I unpacked it at home it stated made in Ireland. From now on I will double check the made in logo. I have refused to buy any food products from China even when available at a good price. The company that changed their cheese name from Coon to Smile Cheese are closing factories in Victoria, Australia with 70 workers laid off. The buying public do have power.
Indeed.
‘Food products from China’ make Japanese friends recoil.
Seaweed from next to the heavy metals outlet….they say.
If you never again want to eat any meal in China, Google Cooking Oil Recovery from Chinese Drains.
I imagine the calculation is more focused on creating dependencies and weakening local capacities.
By whom…and who is covering the cost differential….. airfares for dough seems silly.
So we had to shut down production of the 737 for almost two years do to the fake geniuses in India.
After all CEO Jim said software engineers in India work for a bowl of rice vs real engineers in Seattle.
He lied a people died. Yet another person with a front row seat in Hell.
Hate is not a strong enough word, at times.
Oh indeed…
Close to my own heart.
The once mighty Boeing cringed before political diversity operatives.
They let amateur non-aviation people get involved with aircraft.
An absolute no-no previously.
Where someone produces something that has zero future is irrelevant except as a measure of political or fiscal illusion.
This EV stuff is a distraction. None of it is sustainable or economically defensible.
The materials to go “full on” EV , do not exist. The infrastructure or generation to power them does not exist.
Who cares where one legged dancing partners are made. It doesn’t matter. All of it is nonsense.
From the way you paint things,,, seems like the best option is to look out for those around you and your family,,,,to manage resources you can to ensure that.and secure the area around you,other than that,, I’ll leave that to devine Providence
I am not so sure that this (EV production) specificially is a good indicator of the multi polar world emerging.
Europe not being able to manufacture cost competitive is not new. Or at least according to the bankers that is the whole driving force behind last 30 years of Globalization and shipping production jobs to “chyna” and india.
Of course in practice no products got cheaper or little benefit to consumers (perhaps economies of scale benefit), but the cheaper production costs were mostly just used to prop up profit.
If anything there is an “oh crap” thought beginning to appear in many countries that outsourcing all of their production to a country that might start a (trade) war with them is not that smart.
Europe and the USA have become mostly service economies with production happening in foreign countries and US and Europe re-selling and providing services to eachother. Also they are now financialized economies putting more faith in cheap paper than real goods.
The move towards hard assets and countries that actually produce stuff the world needs is the emergence of the multi polar world. The downfall of hyper financialized economies whose biggest export symbolically could be US dollars and Euro papers. Only problem is those papers are devalued quickly now due to excessive money printing..
Meanwhile the US has found a solution to getting some production jobs back by throwing its ally Germany production in the meatgrinder (through cheap energy boycotts) and trying to funnel Germany’s jobs onto mainland USA. (Aluminum and Chemical industry to name a two)
The EV shift doesn’t exist to get you into an EV.
It’s to get you into government transportation.
Conversely I’m thinking they will keep printing money until the system collapses.
The EV hysterics have things in common with State medicine.
Both assume I live the gazetted suburban 9 to 5 life, close to facilities and cafes, errr….no….I’d die of boredom.
So assuming I can’t wait to own an EV with pathetic range that is further reduced by 50%+ towing anything or that I can wander down to the GP to get Paxlovid at the first sign of covid is just a cosmopolitan fantasy world.
Yet they attempt to push me through their sieve.
India is moving up in the world by ignoring the climate change big lie. Russian oil powers their economy so FIAT benefits too. The electric vehicle is an impossible dream right now until better batteries are developed. Good for China however. These liberal idiots do not understand the joys of tooling around in a V6 Mustang Convertible as I do.
Happy Thanksgiving to all Treepers!
The thing is, the WEF aligned countries have used SANCTIONS, and threats of “color revolutions” to compel all nations to go along with their sanctions.
With the alternative finance system, this power to compel countries to “go along” is diminished.
USA, EU countries have been bullying many other countries for years, and suvh countries had no alternative; now they do.
I just watched a video from Mali which just kicked France out of their country.
Interviews from different people on the streets.
They will not allow any French NGOs in their country.
No humanitarian aid – because the aid comes with “strings attached “.
Their country has the means to meet the needs of its people. All they need to do is join hands with each other and they will be better off.
I watched and listened….
I sincerely pray for their success.
More of the small countries are waking up.
I have seen that. She made that speech a couple of years ago during an interview.
It has re surfaced and has went viral.
Now we wait and see if the Meloni on the campaign trail will stand firm in her convictions now that she is the leader of Italy.
I do hope she sticks to her guns and stands up for Italy.
Time will tell…..
From what I have heard she never did like Macron. For me, that is a big point in her favor!!
one of our missionary families we support was in Ivory Coast and had to flee and restart in Senegal because they were killing all white people in Ivory Coast after French helos started strafing locals……they had established an active ministry there that thankfully they could turn over to a national minister……it took a full decade to calm down and they have since returned
“This is apparently a Lithium leach field. It is so neuro-toxic that a bird landing on this stuff dies in minutes. Chile, the world’s 2nd largest lithium producer, is having water-scarcity problems partly because this technology takes 2000 tons of water to produce 1 ton of battery-grade lithium. Batteries are a collection of things that are extremely deadly, including lead, nickel, lithium, cadmium, alkaline, mercury and nickel metal hydride, and besides producing them you have to eventually dispose of them. And don’t even think about recharging them with electricity created by burning fossil fuels. Pat yourself on the back for saving the environment.”
Im not sure about the birds, but the rest has merit.
One good outcome of BBB will be that our vassal European Union will disintegrate due to high fuel costs. We will sell them LNG at astronomical prices so it is a good plan for US.
Happening in England now.
Is anybody ever going to realize and suggest that WEF is destroying the west intentionally? That they are in league with BRICS?
I’ve dubbed it World War Xi for years now.
Of course . they created the CCP, China is not the enemy .. It’s the cabal that directs BOTH the CCP and the WEF. Its called Legacy Money and Freemasonry in an unholy alliance .
No I don’t see that.
BRICS will destroy WEF.
If you listen to the speeches …BRICS nations are promoting multipolorarity. WEF promotes one government. Unipolarity.
That appears to me why so many countries are signing up to join BRICS.
It seems that the only countries able to manufacture EV vehicles are located in the gray area. Add to this, that the infrastructure required to support EV vehicles in large numbers is not available in the yellow area. To say nothing of the cost of making and shipping gray area EVs would be very high.
The message seems clear, massive transportation for those still working in the yellow area. Easy to see why they have been pushing for mass depopulation in the yellow area now. Just for the record, birth rates are way down after receiving the non-vaccine.
Suggestion for the illegals in America or planning to come. Do you, really, want to be sterilized?
I agree with this analysis, but I would also stipulate that it makes little economic sense. Economies are not static. I have watched rising labor costs move manufacturing from Japan to Taiwan and South Korea, and from there to coastal China. Then the cycle repeated, with labor costs pushing manufacturing into the interior, and from there to Viet Nam, Indonesia, and Bangla Desh. In time, massive immigration of an illiterate and unskilled but trainable mass will push manufacturing labor costs in the US down to the level of Central America. This is already happening in the meat packing industry, and doubtless other examples will become commonplace. Once America’s cities complete their transformation into third world toilets, manufacturing will come home.
This is great, but I would like to point out one important item. It’s happening much faster than the cycle time you have outlined.
It’s fairly well documented in business research, that those who make things are also the innovators. The mercantilist BRICs will acquire more than just current manufacturing, but they will develop their own intellectual property at a faster pace. Now contrast that with most young Chinese students wanting to be astronauts, and most American students wanting to be social media influencers. It’s impossible for America to be dominant much longer than one more generation in these conditions. All the weapons research at LANL and other bomb labs in America is pointless with this economic cleaving.
Ron DeSantis by aligning himself with multinationals and hedge funds is on board with this weakening of America.
Agree. Someone made the comment today that many countries who have been sanctioned are now realizing their potential.
They have learned how to do without, how to be innovative…..
I will give Russia as an example since they are a hot topic lately.
People are saying..Iran is supplying Russia drones! My thought is that Russia took the technology and became innovative and made them better. And are producing them.
Something to think about—who has been partners with us on our space stations? Russians are not cretins who are incapable of technology advances and innovative solutions.
Same with China. They were closed off for decades. We opened the door. Now they have taken our technology and are now in competition with us.
The World is changing and I fear that we are not keeping up with those changes.
At one time the we were applauded for our ground breaking innovations. Now instead of concentrating on what we were known for- innovations – we are concentrating on “social issues “. And we are trying to shove what many even here consider as unacceptable..Trans surgery, men in women’s sports,etc. down the throat of other countries. World Cup comes to mind.
Just food for thought.
End of rant
Ronnie Boy tipped his hand when he voted “yea” for the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Don’t let the hucksters get away with it!
CHURCH OF CLIMATOLOGY
My take is different, i.e., the yellow countries/the cabals running them/BBB mob/globalists don’t object to this result at all, it’s just another angle of the success they’re having in the worldwide redistribution of wealth; much of the gray area is comprised of third-world countries, welcoming recipients of redistribution and with an ax to grind, leaving the yellow to be the service economy/burger flippers; BBB’ers couldn’t care less as long as they achieve world domination.
Once they are welcomed to Hotel California so to speak
Build Back Better politicians are bought and they can’t be unbought.
FILTHY LIBERALS will need to mine 700 Million Tons of Copper in the next 22 years to reach the goal of their religion.
In 5000 yrs, Humans mined 700 million tons of copper.
Imagine Canada trying to open a copper mine now.
Indians, and the same FILTHY LIBERALS pushing for EV’s would also be the protestors at the mine gates.
FILTHY LIBERALS although “educated” are actually pretty stupid.
I’m not an EV fan and wish they weren’t made anyway. However, the oil and gas spigots need to be turned back on immediately in our country or we die on the vine.
And yes, I know it’s all part of their fear and control plan from the WEF.
