WATCH: How Green Finance is Monopolizing the Planet
Whitney Webb returns to The Corbett Report to discuss her recent work on the “green” transformation of the global financial system.
From NACs to GFANZ, Webb and Corbett break down the latest attempt to monopolize the world’s natural resources and how this financial scam represents the next step along the path to the Great Reset, Agenda 2030 and the 4th Industrial Revolution.

We at Wrong Kind of Green have been writing about #NaturalCapital and payments for ecosystem services for several years. This issue connects to the People’s Agreement of Cochabamba and the call for a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Nature. I’ve written primers on the natural capital sector for the WKOG blog. Here’s one to get people started. https://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/2017/01/26/the-bankers-at-the-helm-of-the-natural-capital-sector/
Thanks Michael. I will pin this to the top
Covid SCAM. Why we are where we are…..?
1971 President Nixon took the USdollar off the Gold standard, so from 1971 until now money has been printed out of nothing (ie not backed by gold) governments around the world have been printing money out of thin air and the debt has been mounting up now over 29 TRILLION check herehttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f449.svg https://usdebtclock.org/.
The globalists knew the financial system will head to hyper inflation just like we have seen in 28 countries in the past 20 years alonehttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f449.svg https://munknee.com/21-countries-have-experienced-hyperinflation-in-last-25-years-is-the-u-s-next/
The Globalist who own all the media and silicone valley have only one way to remain powerful, that is to work towards creating a society similar to that of China a place where you have less freedoms and the governments can control the citizens and remain in controll like they have been with printing money for 50 years.
The great reset is a step towards communism with the help of a virus they created to scare the population.
This is the conclusion ive come up with for why the world has gone down the path it has and assuming this everything makes sense.
Below is a video that helped me come to this conclusion and now it seems obvious the video is an eye opener for anyone wanting to know whats going on.
Follow the money!!!!https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f447.svghttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f447.svghttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f447.svghttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f447.svg

As someone who is amazed to be still be alive and well at the age of 68, I do realise that as you get older, it is completely normal for old people like me to drop dead..
That is Completely Normal. I don’t mind that, but the reason I cried tonight, is because my Ex told me the truth. We are like brother and sister, and have seen each other twice in the last 42 years…
She told me tonight, that her Son, only a few years older than mine had been diagnosed with a second stage brain tumour.
So it was only by text messages, and I know she has been though a lot of shit.
I just wanted to cuddle her and give her hug.
There’s not much you can say, but cry

Whitney is brilliant, I really admire her, sharp as a tack.
Bottom line: The scammers will NOT do honest, productive work that benefits all. They don’t even like people who are not rich and scammy and perverted. Of course, That’s a very convenient attitude to take for those whose full time job involves stealing the means of survival from others. I mean, making freedom a service-? The scammers don’t plan to quit and we can’t make them quit. But they will be stopped.
*I keep getting utterly annoying pop ups as I’m typing. They hang over the comment field momentarily. (How about not having them at all?) I must be hitting one of those colored icons. It’s seriously too much.
Who are these scammers you speak of? Little men who hide behind an army? Sounds familiar doesn’t it. The truth is the entire system is created by scammers. Parasites who offer nothing but money in exchange for brains to figure it all out for them. The sooner the tide is turned the better. Simply put, stop working for them.
The next stage is to fine and/or imprison those who don’t get the jab.

Harsh penalties mulled for those resisting compulsory vaccination in Austria
People repeatedly snubbing Covid-19 vaccination summons in Austria after immunization becomes compulsory there might face fines of up to $8,100 or several weeks behind bars, according to a draft that was leaked to the media.
Those resisting vaccination in Austria might soon face stiff punishments, according to a leaked draft of the so-called Covid-19 Vaccination Protection Act seen by the Austrian Die Presse daily. If passed, the legislation, which is set to take effect in February, would apply both to the Alpine nation’s citizens and its permanent residents.
Under the bill, anyone who refused to attend a scheduled vaccination appointment would receive an official summons from local authorities. If an individual failed to show up, they would then be summoned one more time within the next four weeks.
Should the second official request be ignored as well, the person would face a fine of €3,600 ($4,061) or four weeks in prison. The fine would increase to €7,200 ($8,000) for those who had already been fined twice for violating the vaccination requirement.

Greece To Fine Elderly 100 Euro For Every Month They Remain Unvaccinated
On Tuesday Greece rolled out its first vaccination mandate order targeting the elderly portion of the population, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announcing in a televised statement that the COVID-19 jab will now be required by law for people aged 60 and over.
He cited the national “vigilance” now required as the new omicron variant has emerged, and also lamented the huge numbers of still unvaccinated elderly in the country. But more shocking is the penalty unveiled for not being in compliance, which will take effect starting next year. The prime minister said that for every month citizens 60-years and up go without a coronavirus vaccine, they will be slapped with a 100-euro ($114) fine.
In Orwellian fashion Mitsotakis said “It is not a punishment,” but instead, “I would say it is a health fee.” He said that to avoid the fine, “Greeks over the age of 60… must book their appointment for a first jab by January 16,” according to his statement to the cabinet.

Another exasperating article from John Steppling awash with the typical obsession over World War 2 images of fascism: Hitler, the Nazis, white supremacy, anti-Semitism etc. As if these are embodiments of the rising threat in the world today.
But the media is too smart for that and alludes to the same WW2 imagery from the same perspective in the construction of a convenient bogey man where the customary Hitleresque notions are now welded explicitly to the “Right Wing” in general and accompanied now by new arrivals QAnon, Trump, “MAGA”, “conspiracy theorists”, “anti-vaxxers”, “covid deniers”, etc.
The new bogey man construction is exemplified by this stereotypical “Right Wing” couple here:

This is a cartoon. Indeed it’s the old Leftist kitschy cartoon. And you’re supposed to hate it. And through hating it, you are then supposed to gravitate towards an equally kitschy vision of “The Left” consisting of “The Science”, “fighting covid”, “vax worship” etc. Steppling’s obsolete fixations threaten to dupe him into this false theatre.

If you stopped reading the gutter press your head wouldn’t be spinning.
This has been covered many times. Stop now, save your sanity, and be brave in the face of tyranny.
And now time for the “Tory Bastards” to play their part getting booed in the stocks:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59491568
Now before we go any further, you must cast your mind back to the primeval viral tar pits of winter 2020 and “the new Kent variant of coronavirus”. The reader may be forgiven for having totally forgotten that one amidst the virtual smorgasbord of variants that has been unleashed since. (I must confess I am a bit hazy on the “Kent” one. Wasn’t there an Ealing Broadway one?)
There was a “Tier 3 lockdown” with no mixing or fornicating outside respective “support bubbles”.
So much for the background.
It seems those Tories (fuckin’ bastards who never closed the country down fast enough despite all those proletarian strikes demanding face masks and infinite distancing – yeah go WSW!) were recklessly having a party!
They said “several dozen” people were at the event, where party games were played and food and drink served.
Good God! Have they no shame!
Sir Keir rages against “a boozy party in Downing Street?” Yes it’s came to this! But that’s good news for these Tories. To fulfil their function of earning the wrath of the plebs they no longer have to have elaborate scandals. All they need to do now is throw a party!
Keir accuses the PM of “taking the British public for fools”. This is, of course thoroughly accurate but it applies to a little more than the PM!
And as if to prove his point, Boris jeers at Keir for watching out for his own party’s parties!
Yes – this is where we are now! Arguing about toffs’ Christmas parties to push home the point that we should not be having such parties!
We know how the mysteriously abstract language works: “There are calls for”, “There is a crying need for”… and now “Omicron COVID variant underlines need for” … a “global ‘pandemic treaty’”.
https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/11/1106722
“The emergence of the threatening new Omicron variant shows how important it is for the world to end the current “cycle of panic and neglect” over the COVID-19 pandemic, said the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday.”
This is “essential to preserve “hard won gains” against the virus” because “the world has not responded accordingly to COVID-19, and vaccine inequity, among other challenges, has facilitated the appearance of new highly mutated variants such as Omicron”.
And of course,
“The people of Africa cannot be blamed for the immorally low level of vaccinations available in Africa …”
As if the people of Africa are just gagging for vaccines! Thus it is outrageous that there is an “immorally low” level of same.
Note the blandly presupposed morality of the entire scam!
The language of urgency!
“…the world shouldn’t need another ‘wake up call’”
And for those displaying lack of sufficient enthusiasm:
“…although many of us might think we are done with COVID-19, it is not done with us.”
The future of humanity depends on unification of all peoples – which might seem a reasonable concept until you see the banner they’re flying:
“…our ability to end the current pandemic is a ‘test for our collective ability to prevent and respond effectively to future pandemics’.”
Unity under the compulsion of fighting “future pandemics”!
Requiring “(c)ourageous and compassionate leadership; Fidelity to science” (?!)
A glimmer of the underling logic:
“…a convention, agreement or another international instrument … will provide the overarching framework to foster greater international cooperation and provide a platform for strengthening global health security”
And just go back and note the implications of this:
“The emergence of the threatening new Omicron variant shows how important it is for the world to end the current “cycle of panic and neglect” over the COVID-19 pandemic, said the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday.”
Panic and neglect? What “neglect”? This refers to the insufficiently hysterical response to all those constantly regurgitated artificial panics.
The underlying message is:
“Look you apathetic bastards! We’re throwing all this bullshit at you and you’re not screaming enough! How can we hope to shaft you all when you aren’t submitting fast enough?”
re: How can we hope to shaft you all when you aren’t submitting fast enough?
Beware the Tyranny of Urgency.
There are suggestions that this variant was dreamed up the day after South Africa told Johnston and Johnston etal to bugger off..punishment for misbehaviour….South Africa always seemed a bit more likely not to completely buy into the narrative….
Why aren’t more people on the Left complaining about what is essentially a ramped up neocolonialism? How much real Left is left?

30% of the Earth uninhabited actually rather understates how much populations are already concentrated in small areas:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081217192745.htm
It’s a cute trick – compress people into smaller and smaller areas that will make over-population seem more plausible and they’ll start supporting the depopulation agenda.
On a different tack, many seem impressed by Catherine Austin Fitts for an alt-take on financial matters. Fitts is a banker and ex-Reagan cabinet minister. She seems to be on a lot with Joseph P. Farrell. Farrell took his Ph.D at Oxford (which he claims he hated). Both go on Whitley Strieber’s show ‘Dreamland’. If that name isn’t enough of a giveaway, there’s some discussion of Strieber here which clearly points to him being an agent:
https://www.spreaker.com/user/williamramsey/jasun-horsley-author-of-prisoner-of-infi_1
I’m not saying Fitts (or Farrell) has never come up with some useful information but they look very like gatekeepers.
Ms Fitts has looked like a “gatekeeper” to me since day one.
I would caution against equating area with sustainability. As many have pointed out, the entire world’s population could easily fit within the US State of Texas, with room to spare. That does not, however, mean there are resources within Texas to sustain all 8 billion.
Even allowing for deserts, swamps and all the land ruined through over farming and climate engineering, doubtless there’s still plenty of land available for sustaining the human population.
But what about double or triple the current population? At what point will there be one too many humans? (I recuse myself from answering that, given my view of humanity.)
↓
It’s a hockey stick….aaargh. Except it isn’t. The temperature goes up and down. The population goes up and down. The sun goes up and down. Your rhythm stick goes up and down. Relax, kick off your shoes.

As a nice addendum to my other reply, here’s an article from global research I just read. I’m not including it for any purpose of supporting my view – which it doesn’t anyway. It has the Texas meme – plus some interesting numerology.
What Determines a Limit to Growth? “Planet Earth Next 100 Years” – Global ResearchGlobal Research – Centre for Research on Globalization
Fitts ran a hedge fund before her single claim to fame as an undersecretary in HUD.
She’s been flogging that dead horse ever since.
Farrell’s PhD is in Patristics, the study of early Christian church leaders.
Yes, both are gatekeepers and attention diverters.
yes; i’ve felt that since the first time i came across some of her works. To catch a glimpse of those 2 said qualities (i.e., gatekeeper & attention diverter), please refer to the interview Fitts had with Alison McDowell (of ‘wrenchinthegears.com’/YT/Odysee) on the ‘Solari Report’; as she clearly exhibits signs of discomfiture and dis-ease throughout the interview most plausibly due to being confronted with an authentic ‘truther’ (i.e., Alison McDowell). RGB-Y1 out!!
They’re just people, good for some things, useless for others, neither of them has promised to lead me to heaven. That Fitts woman look as if she drinks AND smokes,Mc Dowell looks a bit uptight and would do neither. I don’t care I’d love to have both of them as friends.
Fitts likes the sound of her own voice.
“That Fitts woman looks as if she drinks AND smokes.”
Yeah, lock her up, castigate her, can’t have people doing what they want, can we? Who the hell are you to pass judgement?
I thought the big AND was signal enough that I was being ironic. I would put a warning alert but it ruins the effect and while we’re at it who the hell are you.
I completely agree with your disdain for the practice of making explicit disclaimers or “tags” identifying content as irony or sarcasm.
That said, FWIW the comment fooled me too. I didn’t pick up the “AND” clue because I wrongly guessed that it was exactly the kind of emphasis a prissy moralizer would use to drive home a tiresome denunciation.
Even so, I agree that it’s best to let irony/sarcasm fly free (or “bareback”) and let the chips fall where they may.
You’re right, it’s a very dodgy device. I write as I speak, forgetting that the tone is lost in the dead letters.I was rather pleased with the AND, it did catch the character, perhaps too well. I’m a great fan of Dickens who gets so many ever shifting tones and shades of meaning in his writing, the brimstone magpie.
But he plays the harpsichord and chainsmokes on his videos. Give credit where credit is due! 😀
and of course you have to accept the premise there is actually eight billion imbeciles, because from where I’m sitting (very comfortably with an excellent whisky, dash of fresh well water) the same people counting imbeciles seem to be the same miscreants…
knocking ’em off like billy-o… (some amongst you will say eurika! numbskull and I would say to you agenda driven propaganda)…
NB: the numbers are meaningless it’s the same MO used for so called greenhouse gas (the noxious verbal wind of credentialed janissaries ).. the pre-determined ‘targets’ of the operations not so much, as they are gently massaged into compliance by mendicant medias… most of imbecile-kind is heading over a demographic cliff the ‘other way’ for various reasons…if you care to do some research… (on a not too distant timeline).. presumably the current malarkey is merely crisis management…

I don’t think we should insult the intellegence of those who believe there’s a pandemic. We need to win them over.
They don’t want to be ‘won over’.
They want to sacrifice their freedom for their ‘security’, and they will even put up with the inevitable result: Getting neither.
Their intelligence needs to be insulted.
I can still recall that in the bad old days of strict school teaching, insulting a pupil’s intelligence improved it surprisingly often – usually because pupils were thereby shamed into applying themselves more diligently to their homework…
The tactic even worked on me, since I was a lazy sod back then…
‘They want to sacrifice
theiryour freedom for their ‘security’…’ FIFY.“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”Attributed to Benjamin Franklin
I’m not a fan of toilet language, but the man said much that’s true, but he too was a victim of germ theory and said much that is not true. I did like the bit about swabbing the arm of the criminal on death row before they gave him his lethal injection.
Unfortunately, the tactic you mention has its dark side – as when a bad tempered teacher uses it on those who are genuinely trying their best but for whatever reason seem unable to solve the problem being presented.
Oh yes. I remember we had our fair share of sadists and bullies among the staff.
But the ones I’m thinking of were actually pretty popular. They were deadly strict in the sense of insisting on high standards and absolutely no horseplay in class, but their ‘insulting of pupils’ intelligence’ often had a strong element of play-acting and humour.
And they didn’t even seem to mind if the rest of the class laughed at their caustic soul-withering skills… Even as an eleven-year-old, I could appreciate the artistic brilliance of some of our toughest teachers.
A strictly banned art today, of course.
I still am. Imagine what they would say if you wanted a “safe space” ! And the ones who weren’t hard? We gave them nervous breakdowns! But not the ones who’d been tortured in japanese prison camps we weren’t that vicious.
ha ha, insult the intelligence…
good one, excellent… you had me there for a minute…

Analogy in comments section of France Soir
We see that the Western countries have coordinated themselves, as in a game of chess: the leaders of the Western countries together represent a colour (for example the black pawns): each country takes turns advancing a pawn, it is logical small steps, like putting a frog in a pot of cold water heated over a low heat that does not realize that it is cooking:
> the 1st leader advances a pawn= (he takes an unacceptable measure, e.g. total confinement), he sees that the population does not protest and that that does not put millions of citizens in the street: of course, when MACRON imposed on us the 1st undifferentiated total confinement from March 17 to May 11, 2020, we had to stay locked up 23 hours a day, exit right limited to 1 hour with an
ausweiss ”: it was impossible to demonstrate under these conditions. –
> the 2nd leader of another country advances a 2nd pawn (= another unacceptable measure), he sees that it does not put millions of citizens in the street –
> the 3rd leader of another western country advances a 3rd pawn … and so on.
Nothing new with the frog but I thought the chess thing gives a clearer picture than the word ‘lockstep’.
You can just see Klaus on a telescreen saying “Ok Germany, your turn”
The poster then goes on to suggest that the leaders are voted out at their next election.
I think a better solution is to find amongst us a Grand Master.
Preceded by a quick survey to find out the percentage of people who seriously believe their ‘vote’ means shit.
Yeah. That was my point.
Just adding my two cents’ worth.
I’m seriously interested in what percentage that might be.
I can answer that off the top of my head: 100% of those voting believe their vote counts.
It’s what they’re voting for that’s the problem. They’re voting for “their team.” That’s all voting is. Those who don’t vote…have no team.
The different “teams” are fictional entities, it is one uniparty serving corporate interests.
..as Pierre Joseph Proudhon once said: Property is theft.” Sure is. the problem with this article is that it provides no information to illuminate for those who care enough to want to understand, how it is, THAT the wealthy greedy vicious take -all including the kitchen sink, elite accomplish their steal everything mission to take from everybody, everything. How is it done? The short answer the theft factory is law ( the king made a land grant to private person X). Theft is accomplished by rule of law.
first in the line of things is how does one party get away with owning what used to be public.
The private persons made into owners of public domain stuffs don’t even have to pay for it, they are the beneficiaries of a law that make it so. Privatization, some call it, allows the beneficiaries of the rule of law to require authentication and to require ticket gated access to their legally owned content. The law transfers public authority from the public domain to the private domain authority creates private ownership of things. . Law privatizes the authority, the privateers put their new content inside of a fenced compound. .
What used to be in the public domain (open to all who were interested) is now in the private domain (public=>private transform), and if available at all: the “old public access and use ” is now protected from the public access by a pay wall and requires personal authentication and payment of money to gain a key that will allow inquiry <= access to. the bounty.
now comes the digital platform. without the digital platform it is not possible to transform many public domain items into privately owned things.
Next, we look at the international agreements .. Agreements that force local nation states to comply with copyright and patent law (monopolies granted by the state to persons that own the copyright (exclusive ownership of software that runs hardware) or the patent (exclusive ownership as to how a drug is made))
Private Ownership means the owner can assert monopoly power and protect his or her WHATever from access or use by anyone but the private owner.
SO THE MISSING PART OF THE ARTICLE IS MONOPOLY POWERS ARE TRANSFER BY RULE OF LAW FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN TO THE PRIVATE DOMAIN.. ONCE IN THE PRIVATE DOMAIN ALL PARTIES WHO INFRINGE ON THE OWNERSHIP OF THE TRANSFERRED MONOPOLY ARE CALL TRESPASSERS, AND THE SAME LAW THAT DID THE CONVERSION WILL ALSO PUNISH THE INFRINGER.
Beginning in Europe, about 1350 the feudal lords ( aristocracy) began to fence off their landed feudal estates and the king would punish any persons who were poachers on the lands of the estate, unless the poachers had permission.by the Lord of the Estate. This removed the tenant persons from the feudal estates; estates the prior generations of tenants had lived on for centuries. These millions were forced off the landed estates, by rule of law and a fence, and stuffed into towns to be beggars, criminals and factory workers.
The rule of law. allowed the land to be fenced, the rule of law made being on the wrong side of the fence a criminal offense subject to punishment by the king.. The rule of law, made the feudal estate private property of the feudal lord, the rule of law solved the factory worker staffing problem in the towns, where the factors were operating. The rule of law made the prior tenant 's of the feudal estates into customers of the mills and factories privately owned by the feudal lords.
The rule of law grants big Pharma private ownership in drugs. and the pharma use that private ownership to grant life to those able to pay.
Thank you for this. Far and away, this is one of the most illuminating comments ever set into a comment forum.
clearly correct, enclosure was such an act of piracy and no doubt they intend to take everything left in the world under the aegis of the ‘reset’ nonsense…
however you missed one important point the rule of law is always ably supported by the will to violence (as illustrated by the regime creating various useful designations and international laws to justify imperialism)..
for example ‘ the harrying of the north’ by the norman conquerors in England, during the eleventh century which laid waste to great swathes of the kingdom and exterminated great masses of the saxon population….
all booty later jotted into the domesday book to make it all ‘legal’…
Govern-ment and the legal system has always been the front for a criminal cartel, nowadays the only difference, is they don’t care that you know it…
The counter-revolution never sleeps because it knows The Revolution is an ever present possibility.
Yep. And, note, you don’t need actual revolution for there to be counterrevolution, which means war (cold and hot) against the people. All you need is criminals who fear that justice will catch up with them and force them to relinquish their ill-gotten goods and do community service, and not service on their terms either.
It seems that the global bread-heads can’t get enough money, no matter how rich they are already. The global commons are being privatised. And, as Pierre Joseph Proudhon once said: Property is theft.” Sure is.
Although the spatial commons – such as the common land – are what most people think of as the commons, they are by no means the only form. We might add multiple threats of erosion, enclosure and conversion, intellectual (educational) commons as well. All are threatened by the rent-seeking Leviathan.
There has always been a tension between ‘the commons’ – that which is public and open to everyone to use – and commodification – which turns ‘things’ into commodities for private ownership and money making. To adopt the Marxian terminology, the commons have a use-value, but not an exchange-value (a market price) simply because it is not (and by definition cannot be) a commodity which can be bought and sold or commercialised. In this context the elevation of use-value over exchange value is essential to the understanding of the commons and their expropriation thereof.
The depletion of the spatial commons is a global phenomenon, and the war on the commons and common ownership is an integral part of globalization and resistance has been fragile, and most times easily overcome by the forces of globalization who don’t operate by Marquess of Queensbury rules.
This transformation of the global commons has been facilitated by the rent-seeking financial global elites who will stop at nothing to privatise what has been common space. The methods include bogus economic theories, threats, bribes, extortion, coups, assassination (the strange death of Tanzania President John Magufuli for example) and unbridled military power.
The Confessions on an economic hit-man (2016) written by John Perkins details how any person(s) opposed to the inexorable drive of of those who run the world system sums up the methodology deployed to overcome resistance as follows:
”We can draw on ‘them’ – i.e. leaders the developing world – to satisfy our political, economic or military needs. In turn they bolster their political positions by bringing industrial parks, power plants, and airports to their people. The owners of US engineering/construction companies become fabulously wealthy.
If we faltered, a more malicious form of hit-man, the jackal would step up to the plate. And if the jackals failed, then the job fell to the US military.”
And that’s about the long and short of it. A pure mafia operations carried out by Global banksters, the IMF, World Bank WTO, BIS and the rest of the political, media and financial classes.
It is interesting how he used the term ‘jackal’, which is reminiscent of Frederick Forsyth’s ‘The Day of the Jackal’ (1971), plus the associated film (1973).
The people who want to own the sea beds to “protect” them caused this (not that the precise number given is anything more than the usual numerology):

Even more fascinating than the number of cast-offs given is how everything ends up in the ocean. China won’t even let us send recyclables to them any more; so it’s not like they fall off the container ships.
When there’s a buck to be made the CORPARASITES swoop and $atan’s $oldiers do the dirty work.
Humans, animals, Mother Nature, are all expendable.
