WEF Calls for an End to Private Car Ownership

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 7/25/2022 2:09:40 PM

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for the end of private car ownership in the name of saving the world from climate change by reducing the need for green tech resources. “We need a clean energy revolution, and we need it now,” the WEF begins its article. According to the WEF, critical metals, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel — all of which are used in “clean energy technologies” — are in short supply. And while the WEF says recycling old tech that uses these metals could lessen the impact of shortages, it’s simply not enough. “The complication is that we do not currently have enough metals in in circulation

Maybe we should start by banning all government vehicles. Ride the eff’n bus or peddle your happy arses on bicycles, record all data, then give us a report on how well it worked out.

ANNNND the other shoe drops. Brandon wants us to all get EVs. Now the WEF ADMITS there are not enough battery resources to go around SOOOOO we can't have cars at all. I wonder if the WEF leaked this out a bit to soon? Maybe we were all supposed to have EVs and when we needed new batteries they would Just-Say-No and no car for you. This is a classic Leftist move. They kill you a step at a time, each step sounding so reasonable, until you are committed and you have no choice but to swallow the final suicide pill. It is time to tell these morons to GTH! and toss all their stupid, failed ideas into the trash heap of history where they belong. Enough "discussion" over society ending "solutions" to totally unproven "problems". The "scientists" that peddle this garbage should be defunded and schools that cannot produce hard science results should be discredited. They are killing us to feed their own egos and we should toss them out on their butts.

Klaus is an extreme arrogant jackass. He seems to know very little of real science, viz, the sun drives the climate of our planet; our activities have very little effect, if any, on the climate. Climate change is a huge hoax! The purveyors of climate change hysteria are either misinformed or just plain ignorant. Klaus, however, is just a good commie attempting to use any and all "disasters" or "emergencies", real or imagined, to promote his one world order and "great reset" The danger this person presents is his seeming influence on people in government positions of power; people who are equally as arrogant or ignorant as Klaus. Power over the little people seems to be their greatest quest. We vill removf you if you resist!

Why are we listening to some German guy who is looking to control and manage the world? His family moved TO Germany during the Third Reich in order for his father to assume the role of director at Escher Wyss AG. His daughter Nicole Schwab co-founded the Gender Equality Project Since 1979, he has published the Global Competitiveness Report, an annual report assessing the potential for increasing productivity and economic growth of countries around the world, written by a team of economists. The report is based on a methodology developed by Schwab, measuring competitiveness not only in terms of productivity but also based on sustainability criteria.[15] During the earlier years of his career, he served on a number of company boards, such as The Swatch Group, The Daily Mail Group, and Vontobel Holding. He is a former member of the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group.[16] Schwab has authored or co-authored several books; some consider him to be "an evangelist" for "stakeholder capitalism".[17] The Fourth Industrial Revolution is one of his pet ideas, and he sees "human enhancement" as driver for this revolution. And, there's a lot more on his Wikipedia page, particularly on Canada and Trudeau's cabinet.

One trait of any dictatorship. Restrict travel. I am reminded of a homicide case I heard while serving on a grand jury. The perp talked about killing the victim. Even said he killed him at one point. Finally followed through on it. The WEF is telegraphing their intentions. Take them seriously. Can they follow through on what they say they want to do? Will they pull the proverbial trigger? Don't rule it out. The WEF thinks they have the money to control anyone and are untouchable. How does one stop them?

One of the curious things about the globalist juniors, who are doing all the head of evil's dirty work, what do they get out of this. Will Biden get to keep his bike? Will trudeau be able to demote chrystia freeland so he can be the sole grand poobah of Canada? Will he get first dibs on the land wef is planning to take over or will he be banished to ottowa for eternity to continue dictating to the dirty masses, while klaus and his little gay assistant live the high life on Lake Louise, Banff and Jasper. These little international wef'rs fascinate me. Taking orders from the old, wealthy whack jobs so they can be in on the "team", Seeing them all together at the EU meeting months ago showed how pathetic those govt leaders, in fact, are. Those top-tier Schwabbies have to be viewing them, biden, macron, trudeau, boris, jacinda ardern ( I know she wasn't there, she's so full of herself I wanted to add her) as their little toadies. The toadies implement the dirty work, continued slamming of the people. Low lives that they are, they must be accepting the role as the puppets of the masters of the universe. I don't believe for a minute the govt fools will ever be on the same level as Soros, Schwab Gates, I look forward to all of them receiving the karma they so richly deserve.

A poll conducted by University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics shows nearly one-third of American voters believe they may have to take up arms against the United States government. The poll of 1,000 registered voters was conducted from “May 19 to May 23 among 1,000 registered voters.

A Fox News Digital analysis of child sex crime data in school districts around the nation has found a minimum of 181 K-12 educators have been arrested on child-related sex crimes in the first half of 2022. Among those educators arrested were four principals, 153 teachers, 12 substitute teachers, and 12 teachers’ aides. The crimes ranged from child pornography to rape of students. “Arrests that weren’t publicized were not counted in the analysis, meaning the true number may well be higher,” Fox News Digital reported. According to the analysis, at least 77 percent, or 140 of the arrests, constituted alleged crimes against students. In 2015, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA)

When Mary Kay Letourneau was arrested in1997 for rape, it became a national sensation. Not only did she rape her student, she became pregnant and later had the child. Vili Fualaau, the underage father, was 12. The trial resulted in her conviction and she went to prison for seven-and-a-half years.Sure, the fact that she became pregnant was a big part of the story, but in 1997, teachers getting busted for raping/molesting students was unusual news. In 2022, it no longer hits legacy news; because it happens so often, it no longer titillates. But there is another reason; it impacts the left’s insistence that teachers foisting their their sexual predilection

The victim, a 31-year-old married dad of three, was sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle on N Henry Street near Norman Avenue in Greenpoint around 5:15 a.m. when another man suddenly opened the driver’s side door and blasted him, officials said. “It was crazy,’’ said a distraught colleague of the victim, who worked for NBC parking vehicles at the show’s sets in the wee hours

The footage from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office shows the men gathering and chatting in front of the residence on July 7 before one of them opens the door and shoves the homeowner inside. Two of the suspects barge in while a third can be seen standing guard outside with what appears to be a firearm. Deputies said the homeowner dropped a gun he was holding while trying to fend off the attack and that the pistol was picked up by one of the intruders.

The US federal vehicle auto watchdog dispatched investigators to probe yet another Tesla crash — this time one along Interstate 75 in Florida that killed two people last week. A Special Crash Investigations team was sent to probe the fatal collission Wednesday, where a 2015 model year Tesla hit the back of a semi-trailer at a rest area near Gainesville, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday. The agency would not divulge if the Tesla was using the company’s partially automated driving technology. The vehicle was traveling on Interstate 75 about 2 p.m. Wednesday when, for an unknown reason, it careened into a rest area.

Don’t go, Boss! That’s my strong advice to President Trump as he prepares to deliver a speech in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday at his alleged “think tank,” the America First Policy Institute (AFPI). Yes, it is important for President Trump to have a well-credentialed stable of policy experts capable of both building a 2024 platform and finding solid MAGA talent to populate a new Trump Administration. But the AFPI Trojan Horse—whose leadership is now bragging about how it will staff Trump’s “shadow cabinet”—is decidedly not that.

President Joe Biden said Monday that Republicans who voted against banning assault rifles are not on the side of police in America. Speaking virtually to attendees at the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives conference in Orlando, Florida, Biden said that Republicans who refused to ban so-called “weapons of war” are not telling the truth when they claim to support law enforcement. In particular, Biden called out Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott (R-FL) for refusing to support Democrats’ gun control efforts. “Being a cop today is a hell of a lot harder than it’s ever been,” Biden said during his speech.

President Biden is working to name a monkeypox coordinator to confront mounting infections and calls from lawmakers and activists for a stepped-up federal response. White House officials also are deliberating whether to declare a public health emergency over the outbreak to cut red tape and improve data collection, according to the Washington Post, which first reported on the deliberations. It is not uncommon for the White House to name a “czar” who coordinates the response to major health threats.(Snip)The U.S. has recorded 3,500 cases of monkeypox so far. Many of the infections, which feature a painful rash with lesions, have affected men who have sex with men

By now, you will have heard that Bruce Springsteen fans have been apoplectic over the news that tickets for his 2023 tour are in some cases going for $4,000 to $5,000. Ticketmaster, which is at least one corporation that the cultural elites do not seem to oppose, has defended the move by stating that it is part of its “dynamic system” allowing it to price “platinum” tickets on a system based on supply and demand. No need to find a scalper outside the venue. You can find one in just a few clicks. But as Bobby Olivier pointed out at NJ.com, back in 2009,

Just one-fifth of New Hampshire voters want President Joe Biden to seek another term in 2024, and his support within his own party has fallen sharply since last summer, according to a new poll. But likely Democratic primary voters in the key first-in-the-nation contest appear to show early signs of favoring an alternative to Biden: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The new Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, found that only 31% of Democrats want Biden to run again, down from 54% in June and 74% in July 2021. “President Biden is increasingly seen as

A poll conducted by University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics shows nearly one-third of American voters believe they may have to take up arms against the United States government.

President Biden warned oil companies last week that if they don’t do more to help address rising prices, he will revoke their drilling permits on federal lands. While touting that gas prices have fallen to below $4 at 30,000 gas stations across 35 states, he said more needs to be done. "First, we’re going to look at ways to increase oil production from the existing wells and permits that exist today," he said. "The industry has more approved permits for production on federal lands than they can possibly use. That’s a fact. Let me say it again: They have more than they can use.

Fox News declined to air former President Donald Trump’s Tuesday speech at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) summit, despite airing a speech by Vice President Mike Pence hours earlier. Although the network skipped Trump’s speech, Fox News aired former Vice President Mike Pence’s speech at the Young Americas Foundation’s national student conference just hours before Trump spoke. Trump’s speech at the AFPI summit, organized by former senior officials in his administration, marked the first time the former president had been in Washington D.C. since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. Fox News’s decision to skip Trump’s speech comes as Trump and Pence are drifting apart

Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has grown increasingly fixated on fighting Trump because the former president has reshaped the Republican Party toward American First principles and away from the uni-party establishment, Tobin asserted. “[H]er animus toward Trump is rooted in resentment for stealing the GOP out from under her and other members of the old establishment,” Tobin wrote.

In an interview Monday on The HillTV's Rising, Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that he "didn't recommend locking anything down" through the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
