Renewable Energy & The Great Reset: Handmaidens to the Cull

It's worth rewatching Jeff Gibbs' documentary Planet Of The Humans now we know more about the World Economic Forum's Great Reset.

Look closely and you’ll identify a stunning similarity between the motives and modus operandi of the billionaires driving the renewable energy industry -- and the beneficiaries of Event Covid and the Great Reset.

John Steppling's article on Off-Guardian shortly after the film's release justly criticized Gibbs for ignoring the toll of the military in the destruction of lands and livelihoods, along with the huge impact of military research and weapons manufacture on mining, pollution and the diversion of productive capacity into warfare. 

What's renewables got to do with the military? The renewable energy industry requires immense quantities of minerals, both common and rare, along with hydrocarbons (that's fossil fuels) to make and operate its technology. Those raw materials are often in third countries but let's save that discussion for later. Just imagine for now what it would take to scale from renewables' current tiny share of energy output. 



The manufacture of weaponry is one of the top three industries and central to the fortunes of the billionaires. Its secondary function is get the state to pay for wars so that it can reap a third profit by securing land and resources. So it's a notable omission from the film -- understandable as it's a huge topic -- but integral to understanding the renewable energy project.

Any industry that can earn huge profits making weapons while generating further income by deploying those weapons, in order to secure access to resources in the name of the local population (R2P) or against its will, is not only a deadly awesome industrial machine; it's also a class issue, not just for the inhabitants of foreign lands but for citizens at home. It gives a thin strata of society immense power over the whole, power which it must retain at any cost, in order to keep financing the military machine.

The upheaval of society to introduce renewables and the fourth industrial revolution requires the same exhaustive power to get the population to pay for the implementation of renewable energy so that it can be used as a pretext to extract land and resources from the people. Just like the military industrial complex.

CARBON, THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING

Gibbs does dedicate a third of the documentary to the billionaires who misdirect, misinform and manipulate the green movement. He shows how they use the oldest trick in the book: fake grassroots movements who cheer for subsidies the billionaires reap; and who call for 'green laws' that force the population to use the product produced by those same billionaires. The taxpayer gets to pay twice. Three times if you count the cost of pollution that's ignored while the population is diverted by the carbon emissions trade. Oh, they pay for that, too, so they get to pay four times. Sweet, if you're a billionaire.

Gibbs explains how only those environmental measures that profit the billionaires gain traction. All those myriad ways in which we (actually, mostly big industries) harm the planet -- pollution, water depletion, pesticides, the killing of insects and pollinators, the poisoning of land, rivers and oceans, overfishing and the misuse of antibiotics underwater and on land, along with the parallel destruction of forests and  human livelihoods -- all are reduced to once single obsession with carbon and renewable energy.

By closing his eyes to the scale of the billionaires' ambition, however, Gibbs fails to draw the inescapable conclusion that renewable energy is likely to cause economic dysfunction and the relocation of populations -- and that may be part of the plan.

As Steppling noted in his May 2020 article, the documentary totally misses the political implications, which would have shown how renewable energy is integrated into foreign wars, imperialism and... yes... the Great Reset. 

PARALLELS WITH EVENT COVID

“So why are bankers, industrialists and environmental leaders only focused on the narrow solution of green technology?," Gibbs asks. He concludes 'profit' but it's something much bigger: control and the redirection of your life. 

Remember the oldest trick in the book? Well, there's another one: raise the cost of doing business. Renewable energy will put the billionaires' rivals out of business. 

Industrialists have done this for more than a century. When the Harmsworth brothers, who later became the Viscounts Rothermere and Northcliffe, wanted to ensure his control of Britain's newspaper industry (they founded the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror) one of the ways they did it was to raise the pay of printers.

My great-great uncle was a beneficiary as a master printer who held court in the pubs of Fleet Street. My great uncle would be sent to The George to take his father home to Islington. (The pub that was home-from-home to some of the greatest diarists of current events including the Irish novelist Oliver Goldsmith and Samuel Johnson is now closed due to... current events).

Such a well-stuffed wallet proceeded not from the generosity of the Harmsworth heart or because they had a fondness for trades unions. They wanted to make it prohibitively expensive for others to employ printers, so that they could not open a rival newspaper or compete on price. 

We are constantly told energy must become more expensive. It will become more costly to make products and to use them. Strangely the penny hasn't dropped for a lot of people. They imagine they'll be charging their Tesla car off solar energy, powering their laptop and gadgets from wind power and that the Everywhere Internet for their smartphone is supplied by ... wave power?

What washed in on the waves of Event Covid was the Great Reset. In this version of the high-tech future, your energy quota will be strictly limited. Your small business has been deemed non-essential. You've been sitting at home for seven months and have no idea if you'll be able to restart your business. If you are luckier than me, you've received free money from the government or a salary for doing not very much.  In the future there are hints of a Universal Basic Income. 

Remember the pay rise my great-great uncle was given, to put the competitors out of business? Do you think there may be a hidden motive behind UBI? If there are any small businesses left standing -- when and if lockdown ends --  how do you think they'll find workers?

TWO AND TWO MAKES FOUR

The conclusion that Jeff Gibbs missed is staring us in the face. The billionaires are focused exclusively on the carbon cult of renewable energy because it fits with their plan for a fourth industrial revolution. That's obvious at first sight but look at the explicit goals of the Great Reset.  

First, one important caveat. Renewable energy is not a transparent attempt to replace fossil fuels because it doesn't (renewable energy requires fossil fuels during construction and/or operation and come nowhere near fossil fuels in terms of megawatts generated on an uninterrupted basis). In fact, Jeff Gibbs says it could end up using more fossil fuel. So what is the real motive?

This is the petroleum-based billionaires trying to preserve their wealth and power,  according to the environmental leader Vandana Shiva, who by the way rejects biomass and biofuels.

“We are talking about the old oil economy trying to maintain itself with another raw material: the green planet. The only reason that corn and soya is being planted for biofuel is that subsidies make it profitable.

Our minds have been manipulated to give power to illusions, we’ve shifted to measuring growth not in terms of how life is enriched but how life is destroyed.”

Let us look briefly at what the Great Reset means. As the Bank of England, Prince Charles, Klaus Schwab of the WEF have assured us, the economy will not return to what it was.

In Aug 2019 Central bankers from around the world met at Jackson Hole and proposed "Going Direct". Former BoE Governor Mark Carney said companies that don’t adapt to the new Green economy will go bankrupt. Those who don’t comply would be punished. Thus the BoE policy remains unchanged - ungreen companies will be put out of business.

In September 2020, Andy Haldane, Bank of England chief economist, said the UK economy must 'adapt' and that the chancellor should not extend the furlough scheme: "we need to undergo a period of change and people should adjust quickly. Elongating the coronavirus job retention scheme would not allow the process of adjustment to take place”.

The Committee on Climate Change said UK is lagging on emissions targets and that a net-zero policy should be imposed on all regional departments and that the public be engaged to tackle climate change.

The impact of the Carbon Cult is identical to that of the economic lockdown of Event Covid. The message to the majority is that your business, your livelihood is not essential. Of course, the businesses of the elite turn out to be so essential they must be mandated and subsidized by the government.

Both issues, the Carbon Cult and Event Covid are used, as problem, reaction, solution, to concentrate wealth in the hands of the same billionaire elite while the populations are told that their jobs, livelihoods, farms and industries are "non-essential" and have no place in the New Normal.

This green future doesn't involve you. Whatever kind of economy returns after lockdown, there's a chance those sprouting green shoots of recovery won't be your small farm or business.

As the United States Department of Agriculture reported last month:

The reduction in miles driven as the public sheltered in place, meant less demand for biofuels, which in turn led to reduced demand for grains used in biofuels, particularly corn. In addition, the immediate and drastic decline in food demand by restaurants and hotel customers isolated farmers and food processors from some of their biggest buyers, especially for meat, dairy, and specialty crops.

So as consumers were dealing with localized food shortages and rising retail food prices, producers were grappling with falling farmgate prices and a glut of output that forced them to euthanize livestock, dump milk, and dispose of perishable products that could not be stored. Data on differences in prices at the farm and retail levels show that, as of August, the price paid by consumers for one pound of retail beef, for example, has risen by 5 percent since January, 2020 (a significant fall-off from June, when it was 30 percent higher), while cattle producers are receiving 20 percent less for their cattle.

The economic lockdown has triggered a global depression far worse than the Great Depression of 1929 to 1939 and as dislocating to the economy as any war. After all, wars were extremely profitable to the war manufacturers. Similarly, Event Covid has destroyed the lives and wealth of billions, yet the billionaires got richer. Between April and July, 2020, total billionaire wealth increased by 27.5%, up from $8 trillion, according to this report from PwC and UBS.

WHERE CORONA MEETS CARBON

Did you know the 'renewable' energy source is cutting down woods and forests for ‘biomass’ incinerators? It's an easy sell. Trees regrow, don't they? Except, as an expert tells Gibbs' documentary, to power the U.S. for one year would require the burning of every tree in the country.

So not only are green biomass incinerators heavily subsidized, they can't even find enough to burn. So they throw in car and truck tires that emit foul black soot. They burn household waste including plastics that emit PCBs. And they still need natural gas and electricity to get the fire going, fossil fuels to log the trees.

If it doesn't make sense, why do it? First, because the taxpayer is footing much of the bill. Second, because it serves agendas. As we’ve seen with Gates, Soros and Rockefeller they fund public or public sector initiatives in one area that boost their interests in another. One palm greases another. 

Another driver of renewable energy is public private partnership. This is the theory that the state can't afford to build infrastructure such as power plants or hospitals, so it should pay a private company to do it. This may have made sense during a time of stretched public sector budgets but now that countries like the U.S. and UK are printing money for free, PPP should make no sense. Except.... except that the privately-owned central banks, not the governments, are printing the money (in reality a notch on a digital yardstick) so from the bankers' perspective they can still cook up a good PPP contract and privatize the profits while socializing the losses.

LAND GRAB

The developing world has seen a massive land grab as international commodity trading combines buy up the best bits of the Earth for farming, hoping to insulate themselves and profit from future food shortages.

Likewise mineral deposits like cobalt and lithium, essential to the elite's high-tech addictions. At the beginning of the Vietnam war, while the CIA was arming local mercenaries and before U.S. troops had publicly arrived, the U.S. was already conducting geological surveys of the mineral rich territory.

Half a century later, the CIA, along with the French and British, armed the Uganda-based mercenaries of Paul Kagame and sparked ethnic genocide between the Hutus and Tutsis in order to achieve regime change in the Congo, which contains the worlds largest deposits of rare earth minerals.

War is a giant bionic, transhuman monster foraging for the Earth's raw material wealth. It tears up foreign lands in search of minerals and fuel, and never sated, is forever searching for new fields in which to plunge its bloody maw. 

It doesn't take much imagination to extend that logic to the forests and the oceans. All green technologies depend heavily on fossil fuels and rare earth minerals to make batteries, solar panels etc. Vastly more land will be needed to grow trees for wood-burning ‘biomass’ furnaces. Even the oceans will be harvested for seaweed to burn.

Yet more land shall be strip mined for rare earth minerals to build the equipment for smart cities. Where will they search, whose land will they seize on the pretext of herding us into smart cities? Whose home or village will be razed, which people transported so they can generate the energy to power those smart cities. 

THE WAR ON PEOPLE

Depopulation is central to this policy: pushing people off the land so it can be strip mined or planted. Cause or effect, motive or solution? Here's a clue. 

The war on drugs in Central America has the same result.  In Mexico rural populations are being pushed off their land under the narrative of the War on Drugs. Once the land is cleared, who moves in? Mining companies.
 
In his book The Cartels Do Not Exist, Oswaldo Zavala found low correlation between places of known drug production and areas of military action – and high correlation between military action and locations of interest to international corporations and mining groups.

Bolivia has just witnessed a coup which unseated the country's first indigenous president. The crime of Evo Morales was to insist that the country's lithium deposits belong to the people and should be mined by state-owned corporations. Lithium is central to electric batteries and not only for vehicles. One of the problems of renewable energy methods like solar or wind power is they're intermittent. The wind drops and clouds blot out the sun. Massive battery storage is one proposed solution. 

Elon Musk knows how important it is to get his hands on other people's lithium deposits. 'We Will Coup Whoever We Want':

In the Amazon indigenous villages are wiped from the map and forests chopped to grow sugar cane for biofuels.

Even with all this sorrow and bloodshed, renewable energy cannot replace fossil fuels. It is not as efficient, it is intermittent and, most damning of all, renewable energy depends on fossil fuels in a dozen ways: to make solar panels and windmills, to transport and install them, to back them up when they're not working, and to fuel the logging trucks as they chop down forests for biomass incinerators.

AND SO TO THE CULL

The renewable energy world of the fourth industrial revolution does not propose to support or employ the current population.  It has no solution,  no plans and from present technology there is no way that it can support human life without reducing numbers and standards of living.

The unspoken conclusion is that the population must be culled. Because even if all the proposed innovations are implemented, renewable ‘green’ energy will not produce anything like the energy we have now. So it can’t support the lifestyle and the numbers we have now.

Malthus is never far away and however much we the people have proved him wrong, the elites still love him. Gibbs takes the overpopulation claim at face value, another weakness in the documentary, but he did us a favour. 

He showed us a Joshua tree mowed down as it stood with its thousandth year in sight. The unbearable witness of a caressing hand on the brow of an Orangutang as the light dies in its eyes. But he was notably silent on the humans. Oh, we deserve no such sympathy but what about us?

Depopulation emits the stench of a toxic lake as the cameraman zooms in on the driftwood paradise of a beach hut on a barren shore. It remains, just out of shot, throughout his documentary and though Gibbs does not draw the conclusion, it is there: renewable energy needs the land on which you live and once it has taken that land, it offers no guarantee that it can feed or support you.
