Oct 12 2022: "Deep-sea miner stock jumps after first seafloor collection since 1970s"
The "#greatreset" (#Commonwealth w/ WEF as secretariat) includes deep sea #mining. The annihilation of #oceans carried out under guise of sustainability.
"The fields in the CCZ represent the largest known, undeveloped #nickel resource on the planet & is estimated to contain over 3 times the amount of #cobalt, almost 2 x the amount of nickel & as much #manganese as all global land-based reserves, combined."
#Privatization of the #oceans will allow for ocean exploration & deep sea #mining - both essential for the fourth industrial revolution infrastructure desired by the ruling class technocrats. #4IR#EVs#Salesforce
"Harvesting the oceans under the Blue Economy": "The #OECD suggests that the #ocean economy is likely to outpace the global economy in the next 15 years."
#Accelerating destruction of #nature - under guise of "saving the planet" & climate.
#Kobold Metals: #WorldBank: "…the production of minerals, such as graphite, lithium & #cobalt, could increase by nearly 500% by 2050, to meet the growing demand for clean #energy technologies."
"Driving forward climate - not as an individual activity, but as an economic sector." [Coulter, Aspen Inst.]
The rich get richer. The impoverished - more impoverished - more exploited. Biological communities - further plundered & decimated.
"...Grossi [IAEA] spoke about increasing global acceptance of #nuclear energy, the IAEA's ongoing efforts in Ukraine & his upcoming participation at the UN climate conference in Egypt this Nov..."
"He [Grossi] also met with philanthropist, Chairperson and Founder of #TerraPower Bill #Gates to discuss the IAEA’s work and #nuclear power’s essential role in ensuring energy security and combating climate change."
African Internationalism discussing Russia/Ukraine struggle as part of negating #colonial#capitalist narrative being spread to paint Russia as aggressor while exposing the US & other European imperialist powers role as instigator/orchestrator of crisis:
"It is no secret that White Power is working overtime to shut down any form of communication from #Russia to parts of the world - which means that most of the #propaganda churned out by the colonial capitalists goes uncontested."
"The same US #imperialism that was built on #slavery, #genocide, & colonialism, is now posturing as the moral & political authority of the world. The US colonial capital state murders African people inside the US every single day... Floyd, Locke, Taylor, & millions of others."
Nov 1 2021, #CBDC India: "so every single person today, even if he's not able to afford all the 3 meals, is having a #Smartphone in his hand. And I must thank some of the Asian countries which actually revolutionize[d] the smartphone market"
"so these three: the #biometric identity, the no-frills savings account [], & of course the #smartphone, & the fact that data is so cheap in India was the one which actually set the ground... I think #Canada & India started on this journey of instant payments almost together..."
Jan 18 2021, Payments #Canada: "Design attributes for a retail #CBDC... introduction of a new channel for illicit activities, money-laundering, terrorist financing other socially undesirable behaviours."
Following #Canada's ban on Russian crude - #fuel prices soar to record high. #Food crisis to follow.
Small print: Canada hasn't imported Russian crude since 2019. In 2021 Canada's petrol imports from Russia amounted to 350 million - out of $32 billion.
"The United States has not imported any petroleum gases from #Russia since 2019 and, as I previously reported, only imported 3.5% of the more important category of oil from there in 2021."
Cont'd: "When it comes to petroleum gases, which includes natural gas & liquified natural gas — [] — better than 90% of U.S. imports came from #Canada last yr, w/ none from #Russia."

Batch 1 of 3 (12 screenshots in total).
Starting w/ 1st chosen (Lokot: affiliated w/ School of Communication, Ireland & Global Voices) & MacDonald ("New Voice of #Ukraine" which joined Twitter Jan 22, 2022).
"The erosion of meaningful culture, the domination of corporate & state media [] the loss of a knowledgable audience. And as one sees w/ the Russophobic response to Ukraine, the entire pandemic only served as a precursor to some complete mental collapse."
"And perhaps the best place (or one of them) to start is with ideas of #autonomy, #AI, and #tech (#media). For #automation and the internet have both, in their own ways, contributed hugely to the layers of mystification surrounding everything in the #capitalist west today."
"#AI seeks to achieve the same control over mental processes that #scientific management sought to achieve over physical #labour [in 2nd industrial revolution] through a process of rationalization, fragmentation, mechanization and routinization."
