“Called It!” – Iran War turning Climate Change into a “national security emergency”

Kit Knightly

Last month, within hours of the launch of “Operation Epic Fury”, I was writing that this war would loop back around to climate change

Extending from that, almost certainly, will be climate change/renewable energy narrative arguing that the price of oil is “too volatile” and our reliance on fossil fuels is “causing death and destruction” and that climate change is an “international security emergency”.

It was, without undue immodesty, a fairly safe bet, but the press wasted no time in proving it correct.

And now the Secretary General of the United Nations is reinforcing the point:

The pro-renewable agenda was clear immediately, with thousands of terribly unoriginal people saying “there’s no solar panels stuck in the strait of hormuz”, or variations on that theme.

We got dozens of headlines blaming the war directly on oil and our “addiction” to fossil fuels. Funnily enough, what was subtext in 2003 is now overt in 2026.

But there’s more to it than just pushing renewables, the agenda is to define the war in Iran as a “climate change war”, a conflict that was somehow inevitable because of our over-reliance on fossil fuels and – more disparately – the increasingly unstable climate making people desperate.

And, having established that climate change is directly responsible for starting wars, it’s only a short step to directly tie “climate change” to “national security”.

As I wrote on Twitter/X, this is much more than just semantics. Just like linking “climate change” with “pandemics” makes it a public health issue, linking it with war makes it a national security issue. The propaganda of word association and definitions has legislative implications.

So the discourse continues to force the association.

The World Economic Forum published a short video a couple of days ago titled “How climate change is becoming a global security issue”.

Greenpeace is publishing articles arguing the switch to renewables should “be understood as a security and resilience strategy”.

George Monbiot is writing in the Guardian that “The two emergencies – political and environmental – are one. We need to put ourselves on an anti-war footing with the urgency that nations have traditionally put themselves on war footings: an emergency programme to get fossil fuels out of our lives.”

A “war footing” being needed to push through the “security strategy” of urgently switching to “green” energy would result in vast amounts of “emergency funding” transferred from public to private hands.

Elsewhere, academics are publishing papers predicting “climate wars”, where they reference the changing climate as a “force multiplier” driving water shortages and mass migration. These issues may cause outbreaks of violence; therefore, the argument goes, climate change is starting wars.

Australian governmental reports are branding climate disinformation a “national security threat”.

If climate change is a national security issue, then does climate “denial”, become sedition? Or treason? Does that require legal punishment? Perhaps censorship? Rationing worked in World War II, will it work in World War Climate as well?

In the end, once climate change is a threat to national – or international – security, then governments can invoke emergency war powers in order to deal with it. And they will.

Iran War turning Climate Change into a “national security emergency””

I would suggest that we stop calling this war “the Iran War.” Iran did not start this war and in truth Iran had little to do with its existence. This is the Israeli war to expand its territory. Israel needs to destroy Iran because Iran supports the sovereignty of Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine.

My name for this war would be “The Israeli War.” Or if someone wants to include the US, since the US is mostly Israeli’s mercenary army, call it “The US/Israel War.”

Names mean something. Names are important. I never call the US military wars in SE Asia in the 1950 to 1970, “the Vietnam War.” I call it “The US War Against Vietnam.”

They have to pretend that major war is compatible with the usual waffle. The Guardian is strangely silent about the ecological costs of ‘the defence budget’, so one can only conclude that war is more important than the environment. I wonder how much the conflict against Iran costs in CO2? We’re never told. You know something ‘important’ is happening because obvious side-effects of a crisis aren’t covered by the media. The first major stories about a mental health crisis during the ‘covid’ lockdowns was well after the end, and there is still almost nothing about the dangers of the jabs.

Trump was the prophet sent to lead the exodus from the “climate crisis”. Some leading governments are back-pedaling. Even mined-fuel dinosaurs (who had dumped their investments) and big banks (who had threatened financial strangulation) have reversed course. When profiteering is threatened, everyone must obey the fearsome deity at City of London Corp.

This indeed would a good time for the PTB’s in each country – especially Western ones, to try and restrict or phase out petrol diesel vehicles and use not just the Climate Hoax – War on Iran and the lack of fuel getting through to enforce their ever authoritarian ideologies.

The problem must surely be that there are not enough – not only charging points for electric vehicles – and available electric vehicles overall, but that just how would the huge amounts of electricity required to keep these vehicles charged come from, if not by fossil fuels working in the background.

Of course – on the upside for the PTB’s is that they could just ban the driving of private vehicles altogether, which is a major part of their agenda – but they must surely know that doing that would see huge unrest and maybe even violence, so for now they’ll move forward with their agenda slowly in a mission creep style.

I agree. Probably move their agenda in stages, e.g. restrict speed and driving distance, remove older petrol cars from roads, age restrictions more severe, an offense for solo driving – must share car journeys, petrol to be diluted and rationed, etc.

And, like Mexico, can only buy petrol with credit card (no cash), and soon, must have an I.D. to buy fuel.

Interesting theory, but a few questions:

-Is Iran “in on it” or is this some sort of Plan B given the circumstances?

-Does Israel cooperate with Iran in the shadows?

-Is the widespread resentment toward Israel (first for Gaza genocide, now for dragging US into needless war) likely to cause loss of US politicians support?

The theory goes (comprehensively academically written about and discussed) that A ‘Transnational Capitalist Class’ (TCC) – made up of financial/banking elites and corp execs, along with elite thinktank agenda-setters and the like – effectively control the global economic system to a large degree.

It is nevertheless generally accepted that this is an ‘in-progress’ globalisation agenda and that there still exists some national autonomy and power – and friction between nations – but that these will often also collaborate with the TCC if it is beneficial to their mutual interests.

So do Iran politicians participate in the decisions being made (eg energy crisis) while Iranian people and the public think the public think they are being attacked by their enemies (but the “enemies” are people who collaborate secretly with the Iran government to achieve their globalist agenda)???

I’m simplifying complex power dynamics but: I’m more inclined to think that the leaders of Iran, in this example, – as a nation power – would like to keep and increase the power that they have. The global hegemon*utilising the USA and it’s allies – would like to impose their power upon Iran and perhaps eventually take it from them – as appears to be the direction of ‘globalisation’.
Sometimes, Iran will ‘go with the flow’ if it is beneficial to it, or if it is unwilling or unable to push back on an agenda – it is after all a cog in the global economical model.

While I know some others may see if differently, I see what’s happening now with the war as a stage in the power-play of the global hegemon to try to destabilise Iran and undermine it’s leaders power – using the USA as the tip of it’s spear. Iran is pushing back in the way it can, by destabilising the global economy and affecting everyone else – effectively using ‘globalisation’ against itself.

I’m not on board with the idea that Iran is working with the global hegemon behind the scenes on a pre-planned outcome for the war; essentially meaning that the war is not really between enemies or competing/clashing agendas. Background talks may be happening between the warring factions, but that would be about negotiating settlements rather than a play-by-play of planned fakery.

In this view, Iran, Russia, China and others are friction against the USA-centered global agenda. An element of that friction has caused war to spark and we are witnessing the battle of old nation power versus global power (utilising captured/allied nations).

*Global Hegemon = The globalized financial and political system comprising banking elites, finance, multinational corporations, and think tanks.

This is only true for the UK’s electricity grid. Electricity only accounts for roughly 20% of the UK’s total energy consumption. When you look at the UK’s primary energy consumption – the energy required to run the entire modern economy – ‘fossil fuels still make up about 75% to 78% of the mix – with 39% and 36% of this coming from gas and oil, respectively’

Congratulating one another on ‘calling it’ or imagining more information among millions will turn the tide sounds like the kind of echo chamber made to order by the PTB. I’ve been hearing such crap all my life, to no avail, particularly from people who subscribe to knowledge others don’t have while apathetically just doing their (bourgeois) jobs in the system they decry.

It’s going to take something more or entirely different than ideas and keyboard activism to build real resistance, beginning with unplugging from media and living online to engage one another in real social relations to build another world within the old. That includes not just education but revolutionary theory and practice for an egalitarian society which I suspect a lot of career critics are simply unwilling to even rise up from their armchairs for.

The pyschopaths running the world obviously needed a major, catastrophic event, what some call a “black swan event” to crash the current system and bring in their digital panopticonic gulag with programmable digital currency, digital identity, full surveillance, and very obviously restrictions on what you can buy, and where and how far we can travel. All to… “save the planet” which the useful idiots at Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, etc, will be ecstatic about. To these people along with the fine, morally responsible members of the Club Of Rome (*sarcasm alert) who cares if we’re giving up all our freedoms, under constant surveillance by Palintir and other vampire corporations, and living in a digital version of 1984, because its all supposedly to “save Mother Earth and “live sustainably”. No doubt on bugs and fake meat. And what better way to bring all this in by a devastating war that sees fuel supplies dry up worldwide and the world economy crash and burn while the pyschopaths are waiting in the wings to offer their “solution”. And in my opinion, they’re all in this together… they’re all actors in a freemason scripted stage show. After all, they all went along with the convid pysops.

Thought-provoking research by Morgan. What do you think?

Researcher Morgan claims the “war” with Iran was planned by all participants – for profit and for the expansion of Greater Israel’s future trade routes.

“This was not a war. It was a restructuring exercise carried out under the cover of one.

Energy infrastructure was repositioned, trade corridors were reset, proxy liabilities were burned off, market share was redistributed, and the region’s financial architecture was quietly re-engineered while the public drowned in spectacle. The violence supplied the legal, political, and insurance rationale for outcomes already mapped in filings, planning documents, and funding commitments years before the first fake missile was launched.

They called it a war. It was a business deal and they were all on it.” ​​
Morgan says that Iran’s strikes were often on buildings scheduled for demolition, or in the way of planned developments. For example …. “Kuwait’s old airport was struck. Tragic. The new one cost $4.3 billion, was already under construction, and wasn’t touched. Funny how that works.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”
Morgan also claims ….. Nothing here requires much interpretation because the sequence is already on the record, and what it shows is not a set of isolated events but parts of the same larger realignment. The plans were in place before the strikes, the financial positioning came before the supposed trigger, and the only consistent military air presence over those corridors was American. What followed was a chain of outcomes that fit together with remarkable precision: Iran’s proxy layer was removed, Iraq’s competing route was delayed, Gulf redevelopment advanced under wartime cover, U.S. LNG picked up market share, and Iran’s path toward reintegration was opened.
It also fits a wider move to contain China’s regional leverage. A functioning Iraq-Iran corridor would have given Beijing more room to move energy, goods, and capital through partners operating outside U.S.-controlled Gulf routing. That corridor is now set back by years.”

I think the main reason for this preplanned war is to crash the world economy so to usher in the New World Order, also known as Agenda 2030, and to institute a digital gulag with programmable digital currency, digital identity, full surveillance, and severe restrictions on how far we can travel and what we can buy. And almost certainly “climate lockdowns” all under the guise of “saving the planet”. I also believe Greater Israel is part of this plan to completely control the Middle East. Note also the planned Ben Gurion Canal and new trade routes. It’s a big club and we’re not in it…

it’s not just taking advantage, it’s the way that all sides are in close accord about the future of the planet and like the quoted piece says the way the bombing seems to be exclusively of things scheduled to be demolished or in disputed places where developers have been wanting an excuse to move in. And at the same time important things are left alone or receive only token damage.

The whole scripted seeming farce about the Strait of Hormuz is so typical of how wars are put over these days. And it has to be both says playing the game, you cN’t have a phony war if one side is really trying to win. Iran is just playing along too.

There are almost no visuals or radar of the alleged missiles they are supposed to have been firing, did you know?

Ditto the supposed carpet bombing of Tehran, which became a buzzphrase in liberal media but was never shown to be true and has now stopped being mentioned. We know what cities look like after being carpet bombed – does Tehran look like that? I have seen some evidence of localised destruction (how much of that was also s scheduled to be redeveloped I wonder), but carpet bombing means the place looks like Dresden or at least like Berlin in 1945. I don’t see anything remotely like that.

Just read a report which mentioned USrail have destroyed 80,000 Iranian
civilian targets, and 8000 Iranian military targets. Those civilian targets must have been scheduled for redevelopment (Disaster Capitalism).
One of the thing we all know is that both Iran and Is***l have severe censoring
of what’s actually occurring inside their countries (They’re both in it together)
so any patterns we see are only in what manages to not be censored…

Except why would they let through the info about them bombing buildings scheduled for demolition but censor the info about them bombing legit targets? That looks like the opposite of what they’d do.

Oh come on, it’s obvious the strait is supposed to be closed so they can put up energy prices and impose shortages, and the media gonna say it’s closed even if it’s open. It also looks like Hesgeth and Trump wanna be the guys who allegedly opened the strait and saved the world, while the media don’t like that story and wanna kill it.

He/she offers excellent data, calls BS on the obviously phony “war” scenario but then tries to explain the “real” situation in anachronistic terms of major conflicting regional interests.

No, if it’s a non-war that’s because no regional power is genuinely threatened, and if they were threatened the war would quickly become a lot more real, and start to look that way.

China has already made its deal, and its aristocracy stands to benefit hugely from the shift eastward entailed in the unrolling technocratic plan.

The author needs to take their undeniable observations of phoniness and contrivance to the only logical conclusion – that post-covid wars are just narrative to appear to justify pre-agreed outcomes.

I even think they make limited effort to keep casualties to a minimum by, as observed in the article, targeting condemned housing and also evacuating large numbers of people from planned “war zones” , as they did in Ukraine.

But don’t imagine they do this out of compassion. No, these entities don’t value our lives at all and would kill us by the billion if deemed necessary. No, they limit the deaths in order to limit the pushback from angry grieving relatives.

9/11 taught them that lesson. Hence the proliferation of fake terrorism, fake viruses and now fake wars.

Of course in a fake war, unlike a fake terrorist attack, there will still be real death simply due to the scale of the destruction. Even if you’re aiming to bomb only derelict buildings there will be inaccuracies and accidents that end up slaughtering innocent people, but so long as the numbers remain relatively low the pushback will be at “acceptable” levels that don’t threaten the planned course of events.

In fact you can be sure they have commissioned studies on how much real death due to disease or war a population will tolerate before becoming too unstable to be controlled

In a landmark speech on Monday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said “Climate change is the defining issue of our time – and we are at a defining moment,” adding that “if we do not change course by 2020, we risk missing the point where we can avoid runaway climate change, with disastrous consequences for people and all the natural systems that sustain us.

No u didn’t miss it, “Modernity” is complex, multiple layers of interests differing depending on faction, geopolity, ideology, capacity but all organized by Capital as criterion and Imperialist expansionism as intent – the Zionist entity expanding beyond Palestine to “Greater Israel”, the globalist bankster cabal expanding beyond Land to sieze control of the environment, is all consistent with Capitalist Imperialism, u see?

Anyone with a scintilla of intellectual honesty will tell you if you are going to strike from the ground prepare not publicize. Missiles are still falling in Tel -Aviv. (Concrete) Lebanon has been carpeted bombed since 1976. Every Israeli land expansion has happened due to Israeli aggression. British mandate fulfilling Balfour accord promising land to a religion. Suez Crisis1957 Q!967. 1973 Golan Heights. 911. How many million West Asians have died since 1947. (WTF religion not people. Roman Catholics The absurdity of it all I don’t believe in God . By the way God promised us this land. Albert Camus the great absurdist told us as much). Narrative control follow the money.
POST SCRIPTUM: Polymarket bets billions of dollars were made pre FEB 28th. Same thing just occurred prior to mondays opening of a the fraud free market futures contracts paper fugazi world of late stage financialized capitalist economics.
DCOIUS IN FONDO. In the old days as far back as 1900’s similar above mentioned events would have been investigated and prosecuted throughout western countries like Italy Germany France England Canada USA. Breaches of fiduciary trust ,insider trading, manipulation. Name it .

The wealth transfer is still occurring. Money is going west to east.
Western post modern capitalism is dying as we speak. Shortages were created becuase it was baked into the cake . For 40 odd years Iran bad we good .
ISrael having so called nuclear bombs. Baked into the cake Israel is still being bombed . Iran is still being bombed. Enrgy and supply chains have been effected for the next 6 months. Stress fractures in global laissez -faire economics is pearing its ugly head.

The cry of the medical warriors is to kill all microbes including symbiotic bacteria. This applies within the patient, plus plus poisons to “sanitise” his home. The reason there is no progress in the past decades is that (most of) the microbes cannot be patented and purported deadly ones are found in most of us. The industry may engage in fear-mongering or silence as ordered.
