The globalists say that climate change is the biggest threat to humanity and that we need to give up our privacy and freedom in order to stop it. They are wrong on both counts.
In December 2020, Karl Lauterbach, the health minister of Germany, said that addressing climate change will require restrictions on personal freedom, like the ones that were put in place to “flatten the curve” of COVID.
In the same way, British economics professor Mariana Mazzucato said, “The world may need lockdowns again soon, but this time to deal with a climate emergency.”
The World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) have all written how they want to shut down society to “fight climate change.” They want dietary controls, energy controls, carbon restrictions and climate change linked, whether it makes sense or not. The future effects of this are huge.
The 2022 WEF article by the director of WHO’s Environment and Health Department, “How to Fight the Next Threat to Our World,” said; “World leaders must put health at the center of climate action and social justice.” With WHO in control of course.
If WHO ends up being the primary organization with control over global health, WHO will have de facto power over world society as a whole.
And communist China will be exempt, just as they are now, on their ever-increasing use of coal and growing emissions. China emits more CO2 than the next 28 industrialized countries combined and is building four times more coal electricity than the U.S. has.
China uses more than half of the eight billion tons of coal used each year and gets 58% of their energy from coal. Our decarbonizing efforts are undermining our national security and benefiting our rival, China.
WHO could order climate lockdowns to reduce pollution, which they say is good for public health. This is why President Joe Biden has wrongly, for world and U.S. interests, joined with WHO for management of world health.
The UN and WEF’s The Great Reset plan include smart (15 minute) cities, limits on travel, new food systems (insects replacing meat), a full switch to green energy (wind and solar) and more. All of these changes will go more smoothly if there is a central power, such as WHO.
If WHO orders restrictions on freedom to save the climate, Biden and leftists can just blame them. Like the Netherlands, the number two (after the U.S.) exporter of food in the world is doing now. They are attempting to shut down or limit food production of half the farms in their country to satisfy their EU climate mandate. This will drive up food costs even more.
They want us to give up our way of life and freedom to save the planet. Except those at the very top of the power pyramid. Think Joe Biden and Bill Gates jetting around the world.
But “green solutions” are a huge, expensive, scam. Wind and solar don’t do much to make the environment cleaner or change the climate either.
WHO wants to ration personal carbon (CO2) footprints. Their argument is pollution kills. If you don’t go along, you’re responsible for the deaths of others.
This means that when you use up your carbon allotment for the month, you can’t buy that plane ticket, hamburger or steak, beer or soda or buy gas for your car. If you still can afford a car.
Authoritarian and totalitarian regimes often require regular people to give up their freedom and rights to “serve the greater good.” They used the “care for others” argument during COVID. To force people to do lockdowns, social isolation, wearing masks, and getting the jab. Covid policies were a warmup for climate lockdowns and freedom limits.
The globalists are not dumb. They know that they can’t get rid of all gas-powered cars by 2030 or 2050. They know that once the EV goals and mandates are in place, you won’t be able to drive very far, so you won’t need a car in the first place. Poor people will not be able to afford cars at all.
They also support 15 minute cities. That will control everyone by limiting us from coming and going as we please. All for the nonexistent climate crisis.

Oxford UK, has proposed fining people $70 if they leave their 15 minute city zone more than 100 times a year. That is just twice a week. And they call this a conspiracy theory and isn’t about taking away freedom and controlling people. Really?
We need to resist these globalists at every turn. Our Republican Congress’s opposition to the false UN climate emergency hysteria is welcome and needed.
We need to vote every one of our elected legislators out of office that agree with the climate hysteria anti-freedom, control agenda. Your personal freedom, affordable living and energy security are at stake.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
