Tessa, I sent this message to you thanks to my very kind neighbour!
Wow. They are really bad!!!! Thank you for letting me know, and alerting Steve Kirsch to it as well. I have been dealing with it for years, as I was vocally criticizing Big Tech, suddenly all my domains ended up on spam lists, my emails started bouncing from strict filters, and so on. They are full of tricks, those censors!
GFM did agree to refund the money. I'm not sure of the timeline but I know the TX AG and FL Gov. made statements about pursuing investigations into fraud. I don't think they were up for the fight, much like I wouldn't have agreed to a boxing match with Mike Tyson in his prime.
They didn't agree to "refund" the money. All they said is that a refund can be requested ... big difference! I don't know if it's true, but I'm reading that people should request a refund directly through their credit card they charged, and GFM will be charged $15 for each refund request ... they need to feel it directly in their own pockets.
they better, if they try to defraud people we can file a claim through the bank which amounts to a $15 charge back to them per claim - also the va. DA is looking into prosecuting them for fraud in the first place.
And on a more positive side note, here is what a local Ottawa resident (who works for a government department called "Public Services and Procurement Canada") experienced as he nervously left his home in an effort to get to know the protestors near his place of residence (having only heard the lies in the mainstream media before talking with them) : https://maybury.ca/the-reformed-physicist/2022/02/03/a-night-with-the-untouchables/ The man who shared these experiences is also also a former senior operations research scientist with Defence Research and Development Canada (which is basically 'Canada's DARPA').
Very bad move - appropriating those donations angered people more than anything during this protest and it's a good thing.
The idea was too slowly condition the population to accept the new rules. People lose patience if you push them too much too soon.
Every aspect of this reform has already become too outrageous to put up with - peoples' views on what goes into their bodies declared "unacceptable", their money arbitrarily appropriated, the ability to travel, breath and speak freely taken away.
Most or us are not prepared to accept it and some are getting very angry, even the most neutral people who never had any interest in politics.
It can get really unmanageable, at least in some countries, where people don't tolerate being treated like cattle.
This whole idea of mandatory injections for the entire planet, among other things, was too ambitious. The sheer lunacy of it is becoming apparent to more and more people.
They got away with it until now because it was done to people and groups most had not heard of or cared to notice because that was 'all that gay stuff' or 'race stuff' or whatever. Now it is in their faces. GFM might walk away with a profit, but what profit it a man to gain the world and lose his soul? Their business will suffer and they don't have a clue yet what is coming down.
Thanks for the update John. Yes it is US dollars, and they did about 2 million in 24 hours. When I was first trying to donate and refreshing to get through the error messages it was going up about 30 thousand every few seconds.
GiveSendGo, the Christian crowdfunding website, has agreed to host the Canadian truckers' Freedom Convoy donations after GoFundMe canceled the fundraiser and seized over $10 million in donations.
givesendgo.com could be being hit with denial of service attack or else so many are going there to donate they can't handle it all; every time i try to go there i get an error message
Not sure if its just overloaded capacity or a hacker attack but I managed to get a donation through after re-loading the page a couple dozen times about an hour ago.
“Intellectual integrity, freedom of speech and expression, joy, and love”: I love this reminder from your “Broken People..” essay, Tessa.
Watching footage from Ottawa just now I observe happy folk who hold these same things dear, as they feed and support the truckers, whereas the upholders of the -“Isms” are also present at a safe distance: surly, non communicative and heavily masked/muzzled? Independent reporters who try and engage with them out of curiosity are being rebuffed.
In this Age of Aquarius the healing of this fractured world will be through love but it’s going to be a rough ride for a while. Thank you for your ability to balance deep feeling and logic.
Thank you for your kind words!! And I think that balancing deep feeling and logic is how human beings find happiness as we need both to be balanced, and it's always a dance to maintain it.
The new crowd funding site is super glitchy right now, not sure if it is just overloaded bandwidth capacity or a hacker attack but I managed to get a donation through after re-loading the page a couple dozen times earlier today.
Three years from Corey Morningstar's article to Greta revealing her agenda. I believe in the environmental crisis, but these technocratic methods are not the way to address our predicament.
On my end, I believe that human beings have done many wrongs to nature, and poisoned our own home, and our food, and air, and water, and currently are continuing to do that. However, the official :"solutions" to the "crisis" are not looking to address the real issues but instead, poison more, calling it "green."
"It is also noteworthy that the recent film by Michael Moore, Planet of the Humans, which was exploring some of the not so green aspects of “green energy” and shedding light on some of the corruption in the environmental movement, was attacked by the leading environmentalists to viciously and so uniformly that the film was removed from major platforms and kind of disappeared from the public eye." - Tessa Lena
Politics buries everything, and green politics is no exception!
Pollution and environmental crimes have nothing whatsoever to do with the climate change cult.
Conservation has never truly been a partisan issue. Attend a local Grange meeting, if you can find one, and you'll see about the most green conservatives you'll ever meet.
To prevent turning this very thoughtful thread into a bitter argument over a somewhat ideological issue, I would like to say that in my subjective opinion, the planet can actually sustain us all, on the condition that 0.0001& of the people don't own 90% of everything. :) What is hard to sustain for humanity is being owned by a tiny tiny group of people who think they are gods and can do whatever they want, to nature or to us peasants.
With sufficient technology, the Earth could sustain a trillion human beings. But we don't live in such a world. In the next 30 years it is estimated we will consume as much fossil fuel as we have consumed until now. Building up so-called 'green energy' will require a large portion of that fuel use.
Sadly, the so called "green energy" is a profitable scam with dangerous consequences, and that's to put it kindly! There is nothing green about it, except the color of money that it will bring to the ones pushing for it, if they succeed at pushing it through.
Now, I am sure that nature holds many secrets to how we could receive energy in much better ways than currently, in more genuinely sustainable ways. But as long as the mad thirst for control remains the sentiment that drives people on their way to the top, our chances at any kind of mainstream change are slim probably.
I was actually thinking if I would personally agree to live in conditions that predated electrification, and I would. I am sure I would complain at first but I would be okay with it probably.
But there might not even be a need for that, even solar could possibly be done in much better ways, without Teflon-like materials that poison the soil when they deteriorate or due to rain! I am sure nature has many mysteries for us to realize, and who knows, maybe one day we collectively go to a much saner, more balanced way of living! But no thanks to Klaus Schwab, that's for sure.
We have barely begun to question the way we live, how our lifestyles require energy. Consumer culture doesn't help in that regard. Using plenty of energy doesn't necessarily translate to a better quality of life. To own a car, only to be stuck in traffic for hours each day, burns energy and raises one's stress level.
I agree that "nature has many mysteries for us to realize" in the realm of energy production, propulsion systems and energy distribution.
As part of the research for a project I am working on I did a deep dive into breakthrough energy technologies that apply the principles of Biomimicry to produce energy efficiently, cheaply and without producing pollution while operating.
Nature's energy gathering and distributing systems are not closed systems (as most of our energy tech currently are), they are open systems. This is true from the level of our cells (and the mitochondria within them) all the way up to the electromagnetic field of the planet, and back down the the electromagnetic field produced by the human body. Many great minds have applied the genius of nature's geometry and energy flow dynamics to their energy generation technology and created devices that tap into wells of energy (in many cases from what scientists call "the quantum vacuum, or "zero point field") that do not require burning anything and are devices that can be constructed with the materials we already have access to.
I will share that section of intel/resources from my project below in case it can be helpful to you or anyone you know who is technically/mechanically inclined. There are link to technical schematics for anyone looking to pursue the manufacturing of said technologies and making them accessible to the general population for peaceful uses.
- Anti-Gravity & Conscious Awareness | Ralph and Marsha Ring (This is the story of a man who worked with Otis t. Carr (Protege of Nikola Tesla) to align with the forces of nature in order to create a ground breaking new form of propulsion / energy generation technology.) :
Hope you find this information helpful and thank you for shining light on the fact that while so called "green energy" may be a trap (ecologically and financially) there are other options out there that do align with a moral compass, natural law and the regenerative capacity of nature.
I don't want the world to merely "sustain" us. I want to live with space, comfort, and clean air and water- not the most efficient human box I can be fit into with my fellow units of production.
Well our planet IS supporting us all today, but could only support 10% this many of us 200 years ago, because we found coal, then oil, and figured out how to make machines and fertilizers and transportation and refrigeration systems that feed us very well.
I am growing vegetable gardens, and maintained one at work for years until I got fired for non vaccination. I think we should all do it, but I only control myself.
We don't all die at once, but we do all die some day. We have a lot of adapting to do, using less fuel, and meeting our needs in ways that use less fuel. We don't see the oil embedded in a bouquet of flowers, or the internet, but it is there, and cannot be replaced with windmills and lithium batteries, because we are already using all the energy we can get to stay even.
Real GDP (minus interest) has been declining since 2012...
So, we have a road ahead of us that we all need to walk together, and figure it out as we go, but I don't think the WEF plan is workable.
The WEF plan is predicated on a belief that technology can solve our problems, when what we are facing is a predicament.
The road ahead will likely be longer than any plan that can be devised. A decline in civilization could take centuries, if history is any guide. The ruling class only sees as far into the future as it pertains to their own survival.
In my opinion, it is not our population that is the problem, it is our relationship with and perception of the living planet that sustains us. We can look to lenses of perception such as permaculture, regenerative agriculture and many indigenous horticultural techniques (and ways of perceiving the more than human world) to shift humanity's relationship with the Earth from being parasitic to being symbiotic. If we do that (as individuals not via some top down centralized system) then population is not a problem and increased habitation does not necessarily have to lead to increased pollution or deforestation.
My wife and I live on a typical 1/4 acre urban-suburban lot in southern Ontario, Canada and yet we grow about 75% of what we eat (and I am not even fully utilizing the front yard for food cultivation). Here are some pics so you can see how that can look (though it has evolved a lot since the pics in this post were taken): https://www.facebook.com/humanswhogrowfood/posts/1103328730013662
Our property was 100% grass front and back yard when we moved here. Now it is in the process of transforming into a regenerative permaculture garden and is currently saving us thousands on groceries every year. This is possible even on small lots if you team up with nature's cycles and natural diversity. We compost our kitchen scraps, yard waste, 'turn wood into food' (through mushroom cultivation) and create mulch to build soil and clean up the air (so we are not only feeding ourselves but also giving back to the planet as well).
I share Tessa's feeling regarding being willing to give up high tech comforts but I also acknowledge that there are an abundance of transformative decentralized clean energy technologies we could be using to power our electrical infrastructure that are being suppressed by oligarchs that feed on monopolies.
I don't have a FB account, but thank you for your thoughts. It goes to show that suburbs have the potential to feed themselves. What would happen if there were a suburban/urban gardening challenge? What if gardening/permaculture became a part of mainstream culture?
That is a wise decision, facebook has become such a toxic place, it is really difficult to avoid all the censorship and behavior modification algorithms on there. And the prolific AI bots and paid trolls on there are quite annoying as well. I plan to leave the platform as soon as I am finished a project that started being connected to it.
Anyways, those are some great questions. What exactly do you mean by an "suburban/urban gardening challenge" ?
Gardening by itself is a step in the right direction (when we live in a time where some people have never even planted a seed, nurtured it to grow and eaten food freshly harvested from the plant and many children can identify over a hundred corporate logos but less than ten species of plants) but it is not enough to turn the tide. Without a moral compass and without seeing nature as our teacher we can garden but still spray our front lawn with round up (poisoning the water table and wildlife), till the soil to get fast results (resulting in soil erosion and requiring more unsustainable inputs each year) and use other synthetic chemicals that cause harm to human health and the health of the biosphere. That is where Permaculture comes in.
Permaculture is a way of seeing the world through nature’s eyes, a lens through which to view the world based on the three ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Care of the Future. It requires constant observation and adaptation as nature is constantly changing. There are no dogmas, only an ever-improving approach to emulate and symbiotically co-create along side nature. Permaculture is action-oriented; it provides a framework for ecological and sustainable problem solving and design. It can be applied to anything because everything is sourced in nature, its patterns, and its cycles. Much of the philosophy and methodology at the foundation of permaculture design comes from various indigenous cultures such as the Iroquois (or Haudenosaunee) peoples indigenous to the regions now called Canada and the United States, who taught their children to consider how each of their actions would affect the next seven generations. Permaculture design draws on the wisdom of many different cultures and then augments them with modern scientific understanding.
So what if people guided each of their actions in life by the moral imperative of considering whether or not that action aligns with Earth Care, People Care, and Care of the Future? That would be a very beautiful, abundant, nourishing, reverent and prosperous culture indeed.
That is really at the heart of my efforts right now, to distill down practical concepts and techniques from permaculture and regenerative agriculture to be applicable, approachable and fun for people to apply in their individual lives (regardless of their living situation). Quite a few people paid to have my upcoming gardening/recipe book donated to schools for kids to apply those kinds of concepts in their school gardens and outdoor classes, so I am very excited to get that material out there asap.
A gardening challenge would be aimed at individuals to take up gardening in the context of making (sub)urban areas more self-sufficient in food production. This would include permaculture when feasible. Community gardens, rooftop gardens, windowsill trays and hanging containers are the usual venues associated with growing food within the concrete jungle. I have no idea how successful this would be.
If England can be described as "a nation of shopkeepers" then why couldn't a country become "a nation of gardeners"?
A majority of the population lives in urban areas, and in the surrounding suburbs, with their typical sprawl. A change in culture might help people see the value in redesigning these areas. Put more green spaces in the urban setting, and reduce the dependence of suburbia on cars.
Again, I believe we should all be doing as much of this as we can. It trains us in the patterns that will lead us into our roles as stewards of life.
I don't think it's helpful to disparage where we have been in the last century too much. We had to figure a lot of things out, and the pollution and shortage problems were not even mentioned by the best and brightest until the 1950s, becoming broadly apparent in the 1970s, then buried by a work-around "solution" in the 1980s.
We can't expect a top-down "solution" to be anything but draconian.
Grow vegetables (heh, heh, It's harder than it looks; there's a learning curve)
Ride a bike (It's like riding a bike, you never forget, but you might get sore. Stretch afterwards)
Be a neighbor, a helpful friend and a good example.
I live in Texas, with gardens in climate zones 8a (Austin) and 9a (Yoakum). I don't think you grow okra up there, though I have really excellent heirloom okra.
Not sure whether or not the GiveSendGo page ( https://givesendgo.com/FreedomConvoy2022 ) is being targeted by some kind of "denial of service attack" (or other hacking technique) or if the website is just receiving unprecedented traffic (and servers can't handle it) but I was able to get a donation through after refreshing a bunch of times earlier.
I do know that they have immense support on the ground (despite what the corrupt media is saying) and will pull through (unless the police/military declares it a riot and starts doing mass arrests or something full on totalitarian like that).
On separate side note I just watched a live feed of a meeting where various plutocratic puppets and brainwashed enforcers were scheming about attacking the freedom convoy/protest. It involved those who are brainwashed and/or subservient to the plutocrats and tyrants in the Canadian police, intelligence and government services (the ones that are trying to instigate violence, stop the freedom convoy, distort public perception and perpetuate/intensify the mandates). Here is the recording of the live feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIpn5NE6LvY
They were talking about getting federal assistance such as military assets involved. They were talking about declaring states of emergency, giving police additional powers (taking more of people's rights away) and the Ottawa city councilor in the live feed asked how they can legally declare it a riot and use militarized police forces (and/or federal military assets) to do mass arrests of peaceful protestors indiscriminately.
I will say a prayer that the police with boots on the ground remember the oaths they took to serve and protect and refuse any overtly fascistic orders they are given.
Thankfully the Freedom Convoy organizers have Cpl. Daniel Bulford heading up their security (Trudeau's former personal sniper on his security detail that resigned over the mandates) so I am sure he is aware of these developments and is planning accordingly.
Thanks for helping raise awareness about this situation Tessa, many of your northern neighbors (including me) are grateful!
"...police with boots on the ground remember the oaths they took to serve and protect"
Of course, any oath presented to any human employed by a corporate entity will not be one that carries potential to produce any adverse (money/power-losing) effects. In other words, the police oath "to serve and protect" means "to the benefit of corporate interests". Corporate interests (money, power & control) are not served if police refuse to control corporate property (citizenry).
All Gov't entities are corporations (artificial entity organization created by legal statute and given the same rights as a human citizen). Citizens are considered legal corporate property and are also trustees, which is why we are legally taxed non-voluntarily, receive (so-called) benefit from said taxation and must use passports (obtain permission) to travel abroad.
Police will be breaking their oaths "to protect and serve" if they do not bash heads and arrest citizens when ordered to do so.
Surprised and/or shocked to hear that you are corporate property? You're not the only one. We are told that we are free but of course we are not and never have been. Our parents registered us as state property (Tax ID/SS# issued) right there at the hospital where we were born. Or they signed us over to the state later if we were born at home or somewhere not a hospital.
The "free people w/God-given rights" charade worked as long as it served the corporate interest. As the $tate continues to increasingly flex its' power of control over its' property (us), the facade crumbles and the "public servant theater" play becomes untenable and is tossed aside. We see that we as unsuspecting children have been lured into the horse-drawn "candy shop" that is actually a cage. "Freedom" is now exposed as the sham it always has been.
I understand the nature of how government and transnational central banking interests consider individuals as corporations, collateral and/or 'inventory'/corporate property.
I feel it is important to keep in mind that the police you are talking about are human beings, each with the spark of love in their heart that they were born with (which has to varying degrees been dampened/suppressed by social engineering and behavior modification operations). While there is part of me that feels tempted to label police in the ways in which you describe them in general (as I have personally experienced police brutality and corruption when I lived in BC) that would be to betray the part of me that also recognizes each of those police women or men as conscious beings capable of making their own choices. There are some people that seek to become a police officer because they are suffering from psychological trauma and are seeking to have the authority to bully others so they can feel safe or good about themselves, but there are also people who join the police so they can help protect their fellow citizens. It is not black and white, we are talking about human beings, each with their own varying degrees of integrity and internal motivations. I imagine very few of the people in the police force here are aware of the nefarious schemes of the transnational bankers, corporations and puppet governments to use them as enforcers for their racketeering operation. The majority of them believe they are doing that job to keep citizens safe and protect their communities.
Don't get me wrong, there are definitely bad apples and a great many brainwashed people in those jobs, but demonizing them as all being thugs is not the answer.
These people in those jobs can be made to realize what we are fighting against and choose to assist us in dismantling these plutocratic systems (some already are, just look at what Corporal Daniel Bulford is up to).
I do appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns, I just want to invite you to also see the humanity in all the individuals involved here so we can make allies rather than enemies where ever possible.
My words were intended only to elucidate the legal reality of "protect & serve" and nowhere did I declare that police/soldiers are not human beings capable of independent thought and action. Nowhere did I refer to them as "thugs" (but one cannot reasonably deny that great numbers of them are, see Australia, et al).
As you are aware, success or failure of the lockstep, locked-down, global society that has long been the final goal of power-minded humans hinges entirely on the actions of police & soldiers, many of whom (my feeling being "most") are definitely on board. Of course, I could be wrong.
There are County Sheriffs in the US who understand their constitutional powers to override/ignore Federal orders and are prepared to take action to protect the local citizenry. Many LA cops & firemen refused the jab. Are there enough of them out there in the world to turn the greater tide? Maybe, maybe not.
Even if police & soldiers turned against their masters en masse and chose to act within good conscience, the folks at the top could easily topple the world economic system with a flick of the wrist (stop the flow of $, "take the ball and go home"). The question is: Would they?
My thoughts on the current state of human affairs are born of deeper knowledge of the human psyche and how it works. What is happening now cannot be stopped. All of this has been built up with great precision & care, with compass & square, over millennia by extremely clever, intelligent (albeit dastardly) humans placing the rest of us under whip & yoke. We can no more topple it than we can the pyramids of Egypt.
We are complicit as well, having long acquiesced & cooked for ourselves this foul & bitter plate. One way or another we are going to have to eat it. One cannot outrun ones' bad decisions without some kind of reckoning.
Again, I could be wrong. Something entirely miraculous could happen and God knows I hope it does!
I suppose some may find these words of mine cynical/depressing/defeatist but, as a realist I can only speak them as I've learned that hiding from/denying the truth of things does not make it disappear. We are going to see who we really are, how we've been living and experience directly the consequences of what we have done.

They are full of tricks, those censors!
Greta is a member of WEF. That to me, says enough. I don't trust a word she says.
Jokes aside, poor child. When she fully grows up, she'll be so resentful of what the adults did to her.
I doubt it. It's too much to take on- she'll double down and become something truly monstrous.
How dare you. :))))))))
Like you, I never thought I'd be waist-deep in the battle for actual freedom, but the stakes are too high to sit silent.
GFM did agree to refund the money. I'm not sure of the timeline but I know the TX AG and FL Gov. made statements about pursuing investigations into fraud. I don't think they were up for the fight, much like I wouldn't have agreed to a boxing match with Mike Tyson in his prime.
They didn't agree to "refund" the money. All they said is that a refund can be requested ... big difference! I don't know if it's true, but I'm reading that people should request a refund directly through their credit card they charged, and GFM will be charged $15 for each refund request ... they need to feel it directly in their own pockets.
It looks like after an outrage, they announced that they will automatically refund the money. Time will tell what they actually do!
they better, if they try to defraud people we can file a claim through the bank which amounts to a $15 charge back to them per claim - also the va. DA is looking into prosecuting them for fraud in the first place.
Yep, thank you, I added the update at the end of the article before sending it out!
And on a more positive side note, here is what a local Ottawa resident (who works for a government department called "Public Services and Procurement Canada") experienced as he nervously left his home in an effort to get to know the protestors near his place of residence (having only heard the lies in the mainstream media before talking with them) : https://maybury.ca/the-reformed-physicist/2022/02/03/a-night-with-the-untouchables/ The man who shared these experiences is also also a former senior operations research scientist with Defence Research and Development Canada (which is basically 'Canada's DARPA').
This link works.

It can get really unmanageable, at least in some countries, where people don't tolerate being treated like cattle.

Their business will suffer and they don't have a clue yet what is coming down.
Yes!!!!!
GiveSendGo has been under DDOS attack, so only collected $1,000,000 (US?) for the truckers in the first 12 hours. https://www.rt.com/news/548445-givesendgo-freedom-convoy-ddos-bots/

Three years from Corey Morningstar's article to Greta revealing her agenda. I believe in the environmental crisis, but these technocratic methods are not the way to address our predicament.
The way you worded it, it sounds like the "environmental crisis" is your religion.
How very par for the course. Maybe you should "believe in" something more providential.
On my end, I believe that human beings have done many wrongs to nature, and poisoned our own home, and our food, and air, and water, and currently are continuing to do that. However, the official :"solutions" to the "crisis" are not looking to address the real issues but instead, poison more, calling it "green."
I wrote about some of it here. https://tessa.substack.com/p/great-reset-dummies
"It is also noteworthy that the recent film by Michael Moore, Planet of the Humans, which was exploring some of the not so green aspects of “green energy” and shedding light on some of the corruption in the environmental movement, was attacked by the leading environmentalists to viciously and so uniformly that the film was removed from major platforms and kind of disappeared from the public eye." - Tessa Lena
Politics buries everything, and green politics is no exception!
Pollution and environmental crimes have nothing whatsoever to do with the climate change cult.
Conservation has never truly been a partisan issue. Attend a local Grange meeting, if you can find one, and you'll see about the most green conservatives you'll ever meet.
The climate cult is a means to totalitarian ends.
My thinking about ecology has been influenced by Michael Dowd. Are you familiar with his work?
For those who are interested in looking at the environmental crisis from a spiritual perspective, here is his YT channel:

If you believe that this planet can support all of us humans, you are sadly mistaken.
To prevent turning this very thoughtful thread into a bitter argument over a somewhat ideological issue, I would like to say that in my subjective opinion, the planet can actually sustain us all, on the condition that 0.0001& of the people don't own 90% of everything. :) What is hard to sustain for humanity is being owned by a tiny tiny group of people who think they are gods and can do whatever they want, to nature or to us peasants.
With sufficient technology, the Earth could sustain a trillion human beings. But we don't live in such a world. In the next 30 years it is estimated we will consume as much fossil fuel as we have consumed until now. Building up so-called 'green energy' will require a large portion of that fuel use.
Sadly, the so called "green energy" is a profitable scam with dangerous consequences, and that's to put it kindly! There is nothing green about it, except the color of money that it will bring to the ones pushing for it, if they succeed at pushing it through.
Now, I am sure that nature holds many secrets to how we could receive energy in much better ways than currently, in more genuinely sustainable ways. But as long as the mad thirst for control remains the sentiment that drives people on their way to the top, our chances at any kind of mainstream change are slim probably.
I was actually thinking if I would personally agree to live in conditions that predated electrification, and I would. I am sure I would complain at first but I would be okay with it probably.
But there might not even be a need for that, even solar could possibly be done in much better ways, without Teflon-like materials that poison the soil when they deteriorate or due to rain! I am sure nature has many mysteries for us to realize, and who knows, maybe one day we collectively go to a much saner, more balanced way of living! But no thanks to Klaus Schwab, that's for sure.
We have barely begun to question the way we live, how our lifestyles require energy. Consumer culture doesn't help in that regard. Using plenty of energy doesn't necessarily translate to a better quality of life. To own a car, only to be stuck in traffic for hours each day, burns energy and raises one's stress level.
I agree that "nature has many mysteries for us to realize" in the realm of energy production, propulsion systems and energy distribution.
As part of the research for a project I am working on I did a deep dive into breakthrough energy technologies that apply the principles of Biomimicry to produce energy efficiently, cheaply and without producing pollution while operating.
Nature's energy gathering and distributing systems are not closed systems (as most of our energy tech currently are), they are open systems. This is true from the level of our cells (and the mitochondria within them) all the way up to the electromagnetic field of the planet, and back down the the electromagnetic field produced by the human body. Many great minds have applied the genius of nature's geometry and energy flow dynamics to their energy generation technology and created devices that tap into wells of energy (in many cases from what scientists call "the quantum vacuum, or "zero point field") that do not require burning anything and are devices that can be constructed with the materials we already have access to.
I will share that section of intel/resources from my project below in case it can be helpful to you or anyone you know who is technically/mechanically inclined. There are link to technical schematics for anyone looking to pursue the manufacturing of said technologies and making them accessible to the general population for peaceful uses.

Hope you find this information helpful and thank you for shining light on the fact that while so called "green energy" may be a trap (ecologically and financially) there are other options out there that do align with a moral compass, natural law and the regenerative capacity of nature.
I don't want the world to merely "sustain" us. I want to live with space, comfort, and clean air and water- not the most efficient human box I can be fit into with my fellow units of production.
Well our planet IS supporting us all today, but could only support 10% this many of us 200 years ago, because we found coal, then oil, and figured out how to make machines and fertilizers and transportation and refrigeration systems that feed us very well.
I am growing vegetable gardens, and maintained one at work for years until I got fired for non vaccination. I think we should all do it, but I only control myself.
We don't all die at once, but we do all die some day. We have a lot of adapting to do, using less fuel, and meeting our needs in ways that use less fuel. We don't see the oil embedded in a bouquet of flowers, or the internet, but it is there, and cannot be replaced with windmills and lithium batteries, because we are already using all the energy we can get to stay even.
Real GDP (minus interest) has been declining since 2012...
So, we have a road ahead of us that we all need to walk together, and figure it out as we go, but I don't think the WEF plan is workable.
Beautifully put, John!
Being able to grow your own food is the best precaution one can take.
The WEF plan is predicated on a belief that technology can solve our problems, when what we are facing is a predicament.
The road ahead will likely be longer than any plan that can be devised. A decline in civilization could take centuries, if history is any guide. The ruling class only sees as far into the future as it pertains to their own survival.
Hi Bob, Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
In my opinion, it is not our population that is the problem, it is our relationship with and perception of the living planet that sustains us. We can look to lenses of perception such as permaculture, regenerative agriculture and many indigenous horticultural techniques (and ways of perceiving the more than human world) to shift humanity's relationship with the Earth from being parasitic to being symbiotic. If we do that (as individuals not via some top down centralized system) then population is not a problem and increased habitation does not necessarily have to lead to increased pollution or deforestation.
My wife and I live on a typical 1/4 acre urban-suburban lot in southern Ontario, Canada and yet we grow about 75% of what we eat (and I am not even fully utilizing the front yard for food cultivation). Here are some pics so you can see how that can look (though it has evolved a lot since the pics in this post were taken): https://www.facebook.com/humanswhogrowfood/posts/1103328730013662
Our property was 100% grass front and back yard when we moved here. Now it is in the process of transforming into a regenerative permaculture garden and is currently saving us thousands on groceries every year. This is possible even on small lots if you team up with nature's cycles and natural diversity. We compost our kitchen scraps, yard waste, 'turn wood into food' (through mushroom cultivation) and create mulch to build soil and clean up the air (so we are not only feeding ourselves but also giving back to the planet as well).
I share Tessa's feeling regarding being willing to give up high tech comforts but I also acknowledge that there are an abundance of transformative decentralized clean energy technologies we could be using to power our electrical infrastructure that are being suppressed by oligarchs that feed on monopolies.
I don't have a FB account, but thank you for your thoughts. It goes to show that suburbs have the potential to feed themselves. What would happen if there were a suburban/urban gardening challenge? What if gardening/permaculture became a part of mainstream culture?
That is a wise decision, facebook has become such a toxic place, it is really difficult to avoid all the censorship and behavior modification algorithms on there. And the prolific AI bots and paid trolls on there are quite annoying as well. I plan to leave the platform as soon as I am finished a project that started being connected to it.
Anyways, those are some great questions. What exactly do you mean by an "suburban/urban gardening challenge" ?
Gardening by itself is a step in the right direction (when we live in a time where some people have never even planted a seed, nurtured it to grow and eaten food freshly harvested from the plant and many children can identify over a hundred corporate logos but less than ten species of plants) but it is not enough to turn the tide. Without a moral compass and without seeing nature as our teacher we can garden but still spray our front lawn with round up (poisoning the water table and wildlife), till the soil to get fast results (resulting in soil erosion and requiring more unsustainable inputs each year) and use other synthetic chemicals that cause harm to human health and the health of the biosphere. That is where Permaculture comes in.
Permaculture is a way of seeing the world through nature’s eyes, a lens through which to view the world based on the three ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Care of the Future. It requires constant observation and adaptation as nature is constantly changing. There are no dogmas, only an ever-improving approach to emulate and symbiotically co-create along side nature. Permaculture is action-oriented; it provides a framework for ecological and sustainable problem solving and design. It can be applied to anything because everything is sourced in nature, its patterns, and its cycles. Much of the philosophy and methodology at the foundation of permaculture design comes from various indigenous cultures such as the Iroquois (or Haudenosaunee) peoples indigenous to the regions now called Canada and the United States, who taught their children to consider how each of their actions would affect the next seven generations. Permaculture design draws on the wisdom of many different cultures and then augments them with modern scientific understanding.
So what if people guided each of their actions in life by the moral imperative of considering whether or not that action aligns with Earth Care, People Care, and Care of the Future? That would be a very beautiful, abundant, nourishing, reverent and prosperous culture indeed.
That is really at the heart of my efforts right now, to distill down practical concepts and techniques from permaculture and regenerative agriculture to be applicable, approachable and fun for people to apply in their individual lives (regardless of their living situation). Quite a few people paid to have my upcoming gardening/recipe book donated to schools for kids to apply those kinds of concepts in their school gardens and outdoor classes, so I am very excited to get that material out there asap.
A gardening challenge would be aimed at individuals to take up gardening in the context of making (sub)urban areas more self-sufficient in food production. This would include permaculture when feasible. Community gardens, rooftop gardens, windowsill trays and hanging containers are the usual venues associated with growing food within the concrete jungle. I have no idea how successful this would be.
If England can be described as "a nation of shopkeepers" then why couldn't a country become "a nation of gardeners"?
A majority of the population lives in urban areas, and in the surrounding suburbs, with their typical sprawl. A change in culture might help people see the value in redesigning these areas. Put more green spaces in the urban setting, and reduce the dependence of suburbia on cars.
Good work, Gavin. Your kitchen garden in suburbia looks a lot like our kitchen garden in suburbia: https://www.johndayblog.com/2020/04/crowning-achievements.html This is the blog post from 4/25/20, but the post from 4/23/20 shows my working the garden bed in our more rural homestead on 0.6 acre, three years ago https://www.johndayblog.com/2020/04/natural-intelligence.html
Last September "What Road Is This" blog post had a picture of that garden, myself, and my wife, Jenny. https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/09/what-road-is-this.html
Again, I believe we should all be doing as much of this as we can. It trains us in the patterns that will lead us into our roles as stewards of life.
I don't think it's helpful to disparage where we have been in the last century too much. We had to figure a lot of things out, and the pollution and shortage problems were not even mentioned by the best and brightest until the 1950s, becoming broadly apparent in the 1970s, then buried by a work-around "solution" in the 1980s.
We can't expect a top-down "solution" to be anything but draconian.
Grow vegetables (heh, heh, It's harder than it looks; there's a learning curve)
Ride a bike (It's like riding a bike, you never forget, but you might get sore. Stretch afterwards)
Be a neighbor, a helpful friend and a good example.

Right on John! I appreciate your thoughtful response and the links. Would love to do an heirloom seed swap with you some time :)
I live in Texas, with gardens in climate zones 8a (Austin) and 9a (Yoakum). I don't think you grow okra up there, though I have really excellent heirloom okra.
Here is my succession-rotation (flexible) gardening protocol for climate zone 8a. (7/4/16 post) You'll see what I grow.https://www.johndayblog.com/2016/07/liberty-garden-central-texas-climate.html
Not sure whether or not the GiveSendGo page ( https://givesendgo.com/FreedomConvoy2022 ) is being targeted by some kind of "denial of service attack" (or other hacking technique) or if the website is just receiving unprecedented traffic (and servers can't handle it) but I was able to get a donation through after refreshing a bunch of times earlier.
I do know that they have immense support on the ground (despite what the corrupt media is saying) and will pull through (unless the police/military declares it a riot and starts doing mass arrests or something full on totalitarian like that).
On separate side note I just watched a live feed of a meeting where various plutocratic puppets and brainwashed enforcers were scheming about attacking the freedom convoy/protest. It involved those who are brainwashed and/or subservient to the plutocrats and tyrants in the Canadian police, intelligence and government services (the ones that are trying to instigate violence, stop the freedom convoy, distort public perception and perpetuate/intensify the mandates). Here is the recording of the live feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIpn5NE6LvY
They were talking about getting federal assistance such as military assets involved. They were talking about declaring states of emergency, giving police additional powers (taking more of people's rights away) and the Ottawa city councilor in the live feed asked how they can legally declare it a riot and use militarized police forces (and/or federal military assets) to do mass arrests of peaceful protestors indiscriminately.
I will say a prayer that the police with boots on the ground remember the oaths they took to serve and protect and refuse any overtly fascistic orders they are given.
Thankfully the Freedom Convoy organizers have Cpl. Daniel Bulford heading up their security (Trudeau's former personal sniper on his security detail that resigned over the mandates) so I am sure he is aware of these developments and is planning accordingly.
Thanks for helping raise awareness about this situation Tessa, many of your northern neighbors (including me) are grateful!
Keep up the great work. <3
"...police with boots on the ground remember the oaths they took to serve and protect"
Of course, any oath presented to any human employed by a corporate entity will not be one that carries potential to produce any adverse (money/power-losing) effects. In other words, the police oath "to serve and protect" means "to the benefit of corporate interests". Corporate interests (money, power & control) are not served if police refuse to control corporate property (citizenry).
All Gov't entities are corporations (artificial entity organization created by legal statute and given the same rights as a human citizen). Citizens are considered legal corporate property and are also trustees, which is why we are legally taxed non-voluntarily, receive (so-called) benefit from said taxation and must use passports (obtain permission) to travel abroad.
Police will be breaking their oaths "to protect and serve" if they do not bash heads and arrest citizens when ordered to do so.
Surprised and/or shocked to hear that you are corporate property? You're not the only one. We are told that we are free but of course we are not and never have been. Our parents registered us as state property (Tax ID/SS# issued) right there at the hospital where we were born. Or they signed us over to the state later if we were born at home or somewhere not a hospital.
The "free people w/God-given rights" charade worked as long as it served the corporate interest. As the $tate continues to increasingly flex its' power of control over its' property (us), the facade crumbles and the "public servant theater" play becomes untenable and is tossed aside. We see that we as unsuspecting children have been lured into the horse-drawn "candy shop" that is actually a cage. "Freedom" is now exposed as the sham it always has been.
I understand the nature of how government and transnational central banking interests consider individuals as corporations, collateral and/or 'inventory'/corporate property.
I feel it is important to keep in mind that the police you are talking about are human beings, each with the spark of love in their heart that they were born with (which has to varying degrees been dampened/suppressed by social engineering and behavior modification operations). While there is part of me that feels tempted to label police in the ways in which you describe them in general (as I have personally experienced police brutality and corruption when I lived in BC) that would be to betray the part of me that also recognizes each of those police women or men as conscious beings capable of making their own choices. There are some people that seek to become a police officer because they are suffering from psychological trauma and are seeking to have the authority to bully others so they can feel safe or good about themselves, but there are also people who join the police so they can help protect their fellow citizens. It is not black and white, we are talking about human beings, each with their own varying degrees of integrity and internal motivations. I imagine very few of the people in the police force here are aware of the nefarious schemes of the transnational bankers, corporations and puppet governments to use them as enforcers for their racketeering operation. The majority of them believe they are doing that job to keep citizens safe and protect their communities.
Here in Ontario, when our cowardly political leaders folded to the plutocrats and tried to pass a law where citizens would be randomly stopped in the street and demanded to give a "legitimate reason" for being out and about during lockdowns our police departments refused to enforce the law and that forced the government to back down. https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/many-ontario-police-services-refuse-to-enforce-ford-governments-new-random-stop-laws?fbclid=IwAR0sKq5--M2V-hvHLTV1nFwNBt4S3Z0bJgA09ExX9Fyy7PW5vd47UnFFgvY
Don't get me wrong, there are definitely bad apples and a great many brainwashed people in those jobs, but demonizing them as all being thugs is not the answer.
These people in those jobs can be made to realize what we are fighting against and choose to assist us in dismantling these plutocratic systems (some already are, just look at what Corporal Daniel Bulford is up to).
I do appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns, I just want to invite you to also see the humanity in all the individuals involved here so we can make allies rather than enemies where ever possible.
Hi Gavin--
My words were intended only to elucidate the legal reality of "protect & serve" and nowhere did I declare that police/soldiers are not human beings capable of independent thought and action. Nowhere did I refer to them as "thugs" (but one cannot reasonably deny that great numbers of them are, see Australia, et al).
As you are aware, success or failure of the lockstep, locked-down, global society that has long been the final goal of power-minded humans hinges entirely on the actions of police & soldiers, many of whom (my feeling being "most") are definitely on board. Of course, I could be wrong.
There are County Sheriffs in the US who understand their constitutional powers to override/ignore Federal orders and are prepared to take action to protect the local citizenry. Many LA cops & firemen refused the jab. Are there enough of them out there in the world to turn the greater tide? Maybe, maybe not.
Even if police & soldiers turned against their masters en masse and chose to act within good conscience, the folks at the top could easily topple the world economic system with a flick of the wrist (stop the flow of $, "take the ball and go home"). The question is: Would they?
My thoughts on the current state of human affairs are born of deeper knowledge of the human psyche and how it works. What is happening now cannot be stopped. All of this has been built up with great precision & care, with compass & square, over millennia by extremely clever, intelligent (albeit dastardly) humans placing the rest of us under whip & yoke. We can no more topple it than we can the pyramids of Egypt.
We are complicit as well, having long acquiesced & cooked for ourselves this foul & bitter plate. One way or another we are going to have to eat it. One cannot outrun ones' bad decisions without some kind of reckoning.
Again, I could be wrong. Something entirely miraculous could happen and God knows I hope it does!
I suppose some may find these words of mine cynical/depressing/defeatist but, as a realist I can only speak them as I've learned that hiding from/denying the truth of things does not make it disappear. We are going to see who we really are, how we've been living and experience directly the consequences of what we have done.
