As I wrote in my last e-mail, you should expect shorter texts, but more frequent, at least for a short while, as there is a lot of information that I want to “get out there”, and some don’t necessarily need massive “connecting the dots”.
One said piece of information is the quite telling shortened timeframe on the “green” agenda, in specific one that entails a drastic drop in the global quality of life. By no means, this is news, but the timeframe, and speed of implementation, basically already underway at many levels, are.
A long-term trend among many think tank types are these drastic goals, and the last one that I had my eyes on stipulated the goals till 2050, and even decades always it signified a remarkable drop in global quality of life, entailing transforming most of whatever is left of the world’s population into third world favelas.
Here we have similar goals, with a very shorter timeframe, 7 years away. Cutting clothing items to half or more per year has been lauded as a great initiative since the pandemic began, using your preferred search engine and the term “Sustainable Fashion” will give you plenty of results. I am personally frugal with clothing, preferring military-style ones, that by default last long, rather than buying new items every time, but most people should be free to do so, not forced.
But I digress, fewer clothing options aren’t exactly a problem (maybe a first-world problem?), but being forced into landlocking yourself by not owning a car, or even worse and this is a goal many, many think tanks and NGOs share, restricting your ability to fly.
This alone will have a severe impact on people, both mentally and physically, but the most egregious one, pushed very hard by untold amounts of wealthy individuals and organizations is the last image. 0 dairy and meat/animal protein consumption by 2030. This is the goal with the most likelihood of happening at a meaningful scale within a such short time and the entire framework for such measures to be implemented is already in place, and playing out in many countries (France, Canada, and the Netherlands being among the leading ones).
It should be of no surprise to anyone who reads my Substack, or who is health conscious at any level, how removing both animal protein and dairy will severely impact human health. Not the main point here, the point is bringing awareness to such agendas at play, at scale.
Way sooner, rather than sometime later, people will need to draw a big line, and say enough, because the goal here is neo-serfdom of whatever is left of the human race, because yes, to achieve such goals among the many others in such “white papers”, it is a mathematical necessity to go through a significant drop in the global population.
And yes, it is all interconnected, and the same culprits are found at the root cause of this…problem.
The C40 is spearheaded by this organization called ARUP, and in case you are not versed in graphic design (and as expected these people are mediocre in the visual arts), they share a common denominator.
If one was to create a simplified graphic representation of all the problems since January 2020, the non-linear dynamics, and network effects, the same culprit would be at the very center of it all. While using a superficially complex networking method to hide all their influence operations, and covert governmental capture, it is clear as day by now, the effort going in the background to push whatever their misguided beliefs think is better for the world. Regardless of the cost for everyone else, or life itself.
And repeating myself, you might get more e-mails/substacks than usual for a short while, hopefully, it isn’t too annoying, since I do prefer less frequency, and higher quality, even though it “kills” the engagement. Until later today most likely.
Appreciate all the support during the “down and slower times”, especially the ones who chose to keep a paying subscription, and everyone who shares my Substack.
I'd like to point out that, because we are frugal people, we already buy 100% of our clothes at thrift shops and consignments, except for socks and underwear. And this would poleaxe us. 1) because we still need more than 3 socks per person per year (before we even get to underpants!), and 2) this would completely wipe out the secondhand clothing market on which we depend. Nobody's going to donate or consign their old clothes if they've got to make those pants last three more years to save enough credits to buy a pair of new shoes or a winter coat.
And heaven help you if your weight fluctuates, or you have growing children who blow through three clothing sizes in a year!
What this would actually look like is:
--The wealthy would be in no way constrained. They'd just buy their clothes in another town, funneling money out of the community.
--Weird graymarket workarounds for everyone else: importing used clothing from other regions (more expensive than sourcing locally), smuggling and backalley sales of new clothing (whoops! there goes a tax revenue stream!), and a lot more poor people in actual rags, which you typically have to go to a third-world country to see today.
--Selectively-enforced luxury goods policing (massive opportunity for corruption), meaning the rich still get to do whatever they want, but now we have this wildly increased potential for selective legal beat-downs of the less-fortunate. There's no way to enforce these regulations, so what will actually happen is everybody will sidestep them out of necessity (making absolutely everyone a criminal), and enforcement will be used as a weapon against people who step out of line and need to be made an example of.
