While #COVID19 served as catalyst for trillions in bailouts & implementation of #4IR architecture, (under guise of Covid relief/rescue), brutal #lockdowns fueled growing #opioidcrisis w/ largest absolute increases in deaths occurring among people aged 25 to 44.

Furness believes 4th wave "will be almost entirely experienced by #unvaccinated people," & will consist of "sporadic, intense outbreaks..."
Deaths that the #Ont Gov't, Mackie et al. do not give a fuck about are the victims of the accelerating #opioid crisis in Ontario & beyond. Rather than a "#pandemic like response" - essential services were axed for those in dire need. The epidemic continues unabated. #fentanyl
July 7, 2021: "The pandemic may also be playing a big role in increased #opioid overdoses and deaths. A national report last October found the overall #health of #Canadians deteriorated during the first eight months of the pandemic..."
And while the opioid epidemic rages on, gov't, gov't agencies, NGOs, etc. encourage citizens to take experimental injections created by some of the very same corporations responsible for hundreds of thousands of opioid deaths. #JohnsonAndJohnson#Pfizer
#McKinsey: strategic partner of #WEF. It "supports the #WorldEconomicForum's mission of improving the state of the world". It is a founding partner of the WEF Centre for the #4IR.

Decades in devt. Three yrs to obtain social license.

Nature4Climate: a coalition of 20 orgs including #WWF (bears responsibility for murder, rape & torture of Indigenous peoples) & We Mean Business, co-founded by The Climate Group. Key person Callum Grieve, marketing expert, behind Greta machine from day 1. nature4climate.org/about/
"... because the #Southern part of the world has value far greater than large elements of the Northern []. And we start thinking about & putting prices on water, on trees, on #biodiversity, we find, where does that sit?"

To my knowledge, there is only a video of "highlights" that has been released to the public. Regardless, the high-level /real discussions take place behind closed doors.
Apologies for not finishing thread last night-listened until I fell asleep. When those that oppress us, that allow our air, water, soil, food, bodies, to be poisoned & commodified, claim that global #health is now their top priority - be wary. Be ready.
Al Gore (#WEF trustee) et al. are SO CONCERNED about the climate, that they in the process of turning all of #nature into a new asset class – where they will OWN nature, manage/control nature, & profit from nature (via "Natural Asset Companies").
Of course, this has nothing to do w/ Gore's Generation Investment (#hedgefund co-founded w/ David Blood from Goldman Sachs), #BlackRock, saving capitalism, or the expansion of #privatization. Rather, it's to save the planet.
The $4,000 trillion #climate wealth opportunity.

David Blood to Mark Carney (TCFD/TNFD, #UN Special Envoy for #Climate), 2021:
"We know that #NaturalClimateSolutions are a critical part of the transition to #NetZero & we've known this for quite some time. Why is it so difficult for us in finance [] to put a value on nature?"
The realization that such an image is now collectively processed/understood as an impressive example of "#sustainability", amongst many who consider themselves ecologically aware, or even "left", is both terrifying & revealing at once.
"Per capita figures show that Indian people actually contribute relatively very little to the problem. While the average American emits 14.7 tons of CO2 a year, an Indian person emits around 1.8."
What's worse, such "solutions" are not displacing fossil fuels. A digitized economy drives expansion of hyperscale #datacenters. "Hyperscalers" such as #Amazon gloss over their massive energy consumption by securing renewable-power purchase agreements.⬇️
