Almost everything in our news cycle is questionable now. The lines between fact and fiction have become blurred. What our leaders and mainstream media peddle as the truth is often misinformation. And what is really the truth is smeared as misinformation. In an era of rolling news and social media, the bamboozle has captured us. In particular, our ‘elites’ masquerading their greed as virtue.

The modern world is a simulacrum, where reality has been replaced by false messaging and imagery, to such an extent that one cannot distinguish between the real and the unreal. And as a result of this, everyone squabbles through the prism of their own confirmation biases to claim what they consider to be their own truths, when actually they are blindsided by their own false superiority of sanctimony and virtue.

We are ruled by a nefarious group of individuals that have an unquenchable thirst for power, control and money, and they don’t care what they have to do to get it. And that includes tricking people into thinking they are the virtuous good guys who are here to keep us all safe. And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

These people are not our friends. Their primary objective is to hoodwink us into believing and complying to their virtue, but in reality being tricked into giving away more freedoms, power, wealth and assets to these virtue vultures.

The reality of all of this is that we are sleepwalking towards the biggest asset grab in the history of the planet. They are trying to destroy farms, land, businesses, freedoms, housing, individual wealth, travel and own them or sell them off to the highest bidder. And at the same time, they are trying to ring-fence society into the entrapment of being controlled by data – either through health passports or the slow mission creep towards central banking digital currencies (CBDCs). It’s a giant asset grab of what we own and control. They frame all of this being in our best interests. But it’s the biggest swindle ever.

This gargantuan virtue con-trick also comes with a huge slice of authoritarianism. Anyone who sees through it, questions it, stands up to it or shows opposition to it are immediately ridiculed and ostracised by the group-think mob:

Question the Covid response?
“Covidiot”

Question the wars?
“Putin apologist”
“Antisemite”

Question net zero?
“Climate change denier”

This is gutter politics designed to shut down and undermine any opposition or questioning.

But not questioning the narrative is a huge form of denial. Because any government, technocrat or organisation that advocates medical discrimination, suppression of civil liberties and a transfer of wealth and public assets to the rich while the rest of society endures a cost of living crisis is not your friend. Don’t be fooled by their virtue. It’s a giant con. In reality, they are indulging in a massive asset grab. They are treating the world as feudal overlords indulging in their own personal fiefdoms while us plebs are left to feed off the crumbs from their table – but all under the guise of “it’s for our own good” or “safety” while pretending to be humanistic and empathetic convincingly, along with glib charm, is the primary weapon that power hungry sociopaths use along with dogmatic zealotry.

Fake virtue peddled by governments, rulers and authorities for mass compliance and social control is oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook. Don’t be fooled by it. Don’t sleepwalk towards it. Because when totalitarianism arrives, it will come cloaked in virtue.
Governments and mega corporations have accumulated too much power and wealth. But, we can change what’s going on around us. Think globally, act locally. That’s why I founded @NoFarmsNoFoods (with a steering group of farmers). Farming is global, but we can support farmers locally. Image

China has more carbon emissions than the developed world combined. But hey, let’s punish farmers, blame it on cow farts, fill up landfills with wind turbine blades, destroy prime farmland with mass-scale solar panels and enforce net zero taxes.

Destroy trees, natural habitats, prime farmland, wildlife and ecosystems, increased taxes for net zero and replace real meat with fake lab-based meat…but give net zero subsidies to corporations. Image

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill (vote in parliament later today) means that anyone born after 2009 won't ever be able to legally buy tobacco. If passed, as expected, the age at which people can purchase cigarettes would be raised by one year annually.

This is an insane bit of legislation.

So when someone is say 50 years of age, they still won’t be able to buy cigarettes (if born after 2009). This legislation is unworkable and another example of governments enforcing health and safety crass logic laws to restrict freedom of choice.
If someone wants to smoke then so be it. Banning or restricting freedom of choice is a slippery slope.
This becomes a slippery slope where the government plays god over banning things that they deem to be unhealthy. And where do we draw the line? Freedom of choice has been forgotten here.

Vaccine passports, central bank digital currencies & digital ID are not for our security and convenience. It’s all about government control & power, a reduction in our civil liberties and a gigantic transfer of wealth to the super-rich.

Thread/
#CBDCs

The digital ID of everything:

▪️Vaccine passports
▪️Financial services / CBDCs
▪️Net Zero
▪️Travel
▪️Food
▪️Energy supply
▪️Smart cities

Digital ID: Right at the core of the agenda. We are sleepwalking towards tech totalitarianism. As shown in this graphic by the WEF.

It will be framed as “for your safety and convenience”, but in reality it’s for their control, surveillance, power and greed.

#DigitalID
#CBDCsImage
We have an illusion of freedom. But governments all over the world are moving towards central bank digital currencies which would fundamentally strip away our civil liberties and potentially act as a conduit for social credit systems. We are sleepwalking towards this.

Vaccine passports, central bank digital currencies & digital ID are not for our security and convenience. It’s a con trick. It’s all about government control, power and a reduction in our freedoms to enable a gigantic asset grab and transfer of wealth.

It’s the complete digital identification of everything - money, health, energy and travel. It will be framed as “for your safety and convenience”, but in reality it’s for their control, surveillance, power and greed.

#DigitalID

Central Bank Digital Currencies are being piloted under the radar in numerous countries around the world. And when they are fully rolled out, they will be sold to the public as “for our convenience”. Don’t be fooled by the snake oil sales pitch. It’s all about control. Image

The unethical truth of net zero. Around 40,000 child slaves in Congo work in hazardous conditions in cobalt mines, with inadequate safety equipment and for very little money. The cobalt is used in many products - including electric car batteries.

“Chinese mining companies are controlling day-to-day cobalt operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remotely, a new paper authored by employees of one of China's biggest miners has revealed.”
