Title: WEF
Post by: Migalot on 13 August 2022, 10:38:27
Just wondering how many on here are aware of the World Economic Forum (behind the annual Davos meeting) – that globalist organisation led by Klaus Schwab that claims that by 2030, "You’ll own nothing” — And “you’ll be happy about it.” The Great Reset.

It wants to cut meat from our diets and promotes eating of bugs to "save the climate". It believes that private car ownership should be banned. Worst of all, Yuval Harari, an advisor to Schwab this week stated we simply “don’t need the vast majority of the population,” and called for human beings to be replaced by machines whenever possible, saying that beyond producing data, people are just no longer “useful” to the global elite and their agenda. https://americanfaith.com/wef-advisor-says-global-elite-dont-need-the-vast-majority-of-the-population-to-live/ (https://americanfaith.com/wef-advisor-says-global-elite-dont-need-the-vast-majority-of-the-population-to-live/)

Now you may think this is all tin-foil hat stuff, but Schawb has boasted about infiltrating many western governments. So who are members of the WEF? Well, a long list includes Truss, Johnson, Sunak, Trudeau, Zelensky, Ardern (NZ), Rutte (NL) and even the Finnish PM.

Among those who have publicly denounced globalism are Trump and Putin. Both of whom are targets for the elite.

None of this, of course, is reported on the BBC, ITV, SKY etc. Most folk will be happy watching Strictly and ignore what's going on in the shadows. ::) ::)

Naturally, the WEF is behind the 2050 Net Zero policy. The UK government commissioned a report which was released in November 2019 and was authored by ‘UK Fires’, a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bath and Imperial College London – the home of Professor Neil Ferguson.

The report states that all airports must close between 2020 and 2029 excluding Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast airports, which can only stay open on the condition that transfers to and from the airport are done via rail.

All remaining airports must then close between 2030 and 2049 as to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions by 2050 every citizen of the United Kingdom must “stop using aeroplanes” for a significant period of time.
In addition, the report states that to obey the law of the Climate Change Act the public will be required to stop doing anything that causes emissions regardless of its energy source. According to the report this will require the public to never eat beef or lamb ever again.To do this national consumption of beef and lamb will drop by 50% between 2020 and 2029. Then between 2030 and 2049 beef and lamb will be “phased out”.

Most of the world’s population will ignore this load of bullshit and just get on in trying to survive famine, drought, energy costs, disease, climate change and war.  No government  in at least the democratic part will continue to get votes if it were, in some form of farce, to push on with those reforms. Even the likes of China will not go along with it as it would take power and money await from their elite.

It is just a joke, but no doubt a few nutters will believe it all! ::) ::) :P

Take a look at what is going on in the Netherlands.  ::)

Mass protests from farmers because Mark Rutte's government wants to cut down the national cattle herd to decrease nitrogen emissions and the farmers say that this will put many of them out of business.  At a time of global food shortages and the Netherlands is one of the world's major food exporters.  Naturally not much reported by the BBC or any of the other UK MSM outlets.

I read somewhere a while back that Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport plans to scale back operations to cut emissions. If Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted have any sense they'd be planning to take up the slack left by the Dutch, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.  ::)

Yes, Rutte and Trudeau are WEF pin-up boys.

As Sky News Australia (the opposite of Sky here) rightly points out:

Still, much easier to dismiss anything that's seems uncomfortable as a "joke", rather than do one's own research. Cognitive dissonance is the elite's friend.

Just 30 years ago?  What massive developments that have dramatically changed our everyday lives can you quote? ::)

As for research, when you have studied history, politics and philosophy you have a good idea on what, and how, dramatic life changes affect man.  The threats to world peace have not changed; we still run the risk of getting destroyed by a nuclear blast. We still have the greed for power and money around, let alone men wanting to continually commit to war, as Thomas Hobbes was warning about 400 years ago.

So you think just because some group of radicals, wanting to change how we live, how we earn money to live, how we survive by using our basic human instincts, is going to change everything within the next 8 to 25 years is just plain bonkers.  So we are going to give up building homes, stop travelling the world and transporting goods globally by air, increase dramatically the world shortage of foods, increasing fantastically the cost of them, by stopping meat production, from 2030 onwards?

I think we have more to bring into the equation, like Russia, but more so, China, threatening our way of life than some committee, or whoever they think they are.  The threat to world order, including the security of our own Great Britain, is far more real, and the way it is going it could all come to a head before 2030.

As Steve rightly states, in 30 years time we shall be dead anyway! :D ;)

But, after saying all that this WEF is not the scary, divisive, beast you are trying to portray, but the type of committee that mankind has had behind the political, and national, systems of governance since at least the 17th century. They are known as influencers, just like the enlightenment movement was in Europe during the latter part of the 1600’s.  Nothing to be scarred of.

But if you are frightened by this committee, of forum, then my previous observations apply. :D ;)

If you're open-minded, you'll watch it and, hopefully learn something. If you have a closed mind, you'll skip it and stick to your current view. 

This is how the message gets out. :y

Most of the world’s population will ignore this load of bullshit and just get on in trying to survive famine, drought, energy costs, disease, climate change and war.  No government  in at least the democratic part will continue to get votes if it were, in some form of farce, to push on with those reforms. Even the likes of China will not go along with it as it would take power and money await from their elite.

It is just a joke, but no doubt a few nutters will believe it all! ::) ::) :P
Acceptance is a disease of the middle class.

Really?  History does not support that point of view.  The French Revolution was backed by the middle classes, and the major protests in the U.K., like The Chartist Movement, The Suffragette Movement,  ‘Ban the Bomb’ , Protests Against the Vietnam War,  Stop The War in Iraq, Protests Against Fracking, let alone local protests against all kinds of local issues, are fuelled by the middle, professional classes, as they are the most motivated to protest, have the means to do so, and crucially have the time to do so. ;)

How much coverage was given to the truckers protest in Canada earlier on this year?

The middle class masses are less politically involved than in the past and continue to believe that the governments of the world have their citizens' best interests at heart.

Well, that was an illuminating Saturday.

Being most concerned about the future for my kids specifically and humanity in general, i thought I would see how others viewed my concerns. I was hoping for an adult discussion and thought there may have been some fellow critical thinkers out there.

How wrong I was! Bar a couple of comments, most have been sarcastic and rudely dismissive – which says more about the posters than it does about me.

Of course I am not a member of the clique on here and, worst still, I actually own a Vauxhall Omega. ::)

Boo hoo. Come onto the forum trying to 'enlighten' us with the biggest load of shite I've heard for a good while, get the rebuttal you richly deserve and then act like the injured party. Save your ridiculous conspiracy theories for the deluded people who like to latch on to such nonsense, Saturday evening on a car forum is not the place for such idiocy.

I believe that the opposite is true. People in the democratic world are now trusting their political leaders far less than before, and believe they are regularly being fed lies. They really do doubt their credibility and are now questioning them as never before.  In fact it is that which threatens our way of life more than anything else, along with Russia and China, not the WEF.

And, yes, I watched all the way through the JP video and it scared me not.  It was just an entertaining take on what they MAY be up to, but no more than what our governments MAY be up to.  The Nazi propaganda films from the 1930’s still scare me more than this.  To be realistic, it is us , the democratic voters who will decide what happens next, not any quasi secret government society.  It was once the Church and Monarchy that organised and controlled the peoples lives before they woke up to the injustices of that regime.  People gradually wrestled power away from those controllers of lives, and democracy rose up.  I just do not believe that the people of today, as opposed to the past, with the vast benefits of education, freely available literature, the internet, and, yes, the media as a whole with free speech actively engaged in,  will allow a takeover of our lives by any committee or forum.  Any suggestion of the opposite is just wild scaremongering, and goes down the conspiracy route, which is always bullshit.

Providing no guns or bombs are involved, we will carry on.  To repeat,  it is the threats from China and Russia, coupled with a weakly led USA, and Europe, that could change the world order.  That is of far greater concern as we see starvation and drought spread across the world, which will be made far worse by War.

Has anyone tried to take a largish amount of cash out the bank recently?  ???

Last year I took out a couple of grand from my Nationwide account and the spotty yoof insisted on knowing what it was for. Initially, I refused to tell him, but realised it was bank policy so told him it was to buy a car. Even then he wanted to know why I couldn't transfer the money into the sellers account.  ::)

He relented and gave me my money when I politely told him that if he refused to give me my money, I'd close the account and take out ALL my money.  :)

It's the same if you want to transfer money to someone else. The amount of scrutiny that the transaction throws up is about four levels. As it's making sure that it's not money laundering or fraud/scamming, i think it's a good thing. Plty the government didn't do it when all those dodgy Russian mafia types were buying up most of London is a shame.  :-X

Cash?  What’s that?

I do not carry any cash, and have not for the last three years.  I just use my debit card to pay in retail and other outlets, along with using internet banking and online purchases/payments.

It is safer and easier that way, as it is for retail and service outlets who do not need to move large quantities of cash around or have on their premises.

Cash will go out as the older generations die off, but it is nothing to fear.  The only risk of course is that as it is so easy to use electronic means to pay we can overspend, so financial discipline is required.  This is why some people, especially from the older generations, are still using cash as they feel it controls their spending.

What it may not stop however is the scams to stop them having the cash stolen from them, which is why the banks are asking so many questions when older, and some younger folk, ask for large cash withdrawals.  The “police” telephone and courier scam is the classic one the banks are trying hard to foil.  If the banks do not carry out due diligence to keep customers from parting easily with large cash amounts, the banks can be obliged to compensate the customer for all money lost, plus costs and damages. ;)

It is important to retain a stock of cash.

Given the widespread concerns of power blackouts this winter, the majority of supermarkets and petrol stations in affected areas would likely close, since EPOS systems and card reader equipment would not work. However, many local shops, would likely continue to sell items for cash. So, if you need any basic items urgently, such as milk, bread or medicines (or even a pint at the pub!), you could likely buy them for cash. Of course, this also applies to internet blackouts alone, as card reader systems usually require a connection to work. Recently, my local chippie's internet went down and they could only accept cash payment.

It should clear that the wholesale reliance on microprocessors and internet connections for commercial transactions leaves any country's security weakened. In the event of either a huge crash of the web or a massive electromagnetic pulse (EMP), citizens could be left entirely unable to purchase any basic necessities without cash.

Keep a stash under the bed!  :y

Cash used to be king in Spain. Harder for the tax man to extract his share. It was quite normal for every man to have 4 figures worth of money in their wallet.

There were two changes recently. Covid made paying by card a bit safer Healthwise. Second was that it is now illegal to pay cash for anything costing over 1000 euros.

A number of countries have tinkered with going cashless. It is only a matter of time. One day, not in my lifetime , big brother will be able to stop you buying chocolate or alcohol ( for health reasons based on your nhs record).

Indeed, a good point.

The only issue would be that all ATM’s would also be knocked out by any power or system blackouts.  That means you would have to hoard a good amount of cash to cover any lasting outages.

As correctly stated by Migalot, retail systems, such as bar code readers and tills, let alone the computers that are behind those systems will also be dead.  Thus there would nowadays, unlike when I started in retail, be no facility in most retail outlets to handle cash, and the stores would have to close for the duration of the outage. In addition most supplies of stock come via fully electronic control systems, so they would effectively be shut down by the event. Farm shops and on the side of the road outlets could of course still trade and handle cash, but that is about it.

Remember, most retail outlets are now controlled by companies, franchises, or just sole traders using the electronic facilities like everyone else.  That is the big issue with todays IT controlled life, but we have been creating and living with it for decades.  I remember when in the 1980’s our local Safeway supermarket lost it’s power, which led to the management then stepping in and roughly estimating what the person at each checkout had to purchase, then accepting a greatly reduced cash price.  Great for the customer at the till, but everyone else had to drop their baskets and leave the store to close.  Now in those days our outlets could and would readily accept cash without any system restrictions, as we were a bit backward in bringing in full technology, which anyway was in its infancy.

Now that cash option is not open to the vast majority of retailers who rely totally on electronic systems regardless of the weaknesses and risks of doing that.  With the quantities and values of commodities now, let alone, crucially, of the customers requirements for quick payment methods, plus security needs, electronic payments are really the only way to go. 

Us older ones may still use cash, and I personally still hanker for the good old days £. s. d., but like it or not, handling cash is expensive, a higher security risk, and hinders sales which any commercial concern MUST see grow. There are even retailers who will refuse to take large cash payments for , say furniture, white goods, carpets, etc, due to the aforementioned factors.

Cash has had it’s days and is therefore numbered no matter what some of us want. ::)

That's odd, only a few posts ago you said that £900 was beyond your wildest dream.  ;)  ;D

The poor old boy is getting forgetful.  :-\                                                                         ;D

Mrs Opti has informed me that it isn't all in one place. :-\

She says there is £300 ish under the tray that holds the knives/forks/spoons etc.

What's the point in 'hiding' it around the house, like some Scroogey old codger? Surely you don't think 'under the cutlery tray' would fool a burglar?  ;D
I have a few bob in my bedside cabinet, just open it up and there it is  ;D
The trick is to stop anyone getting as far as my bedroom, or even past the back gate.

I'll simply carry on as I have done for the last 52 years cash for some purchases and card for others, I really can't see what all the drama is about, we've got a safe which is well hidden so any large amounts of cash & valuables are locked away.

Absolutely right Rangie.  There should be no drama about how we pay for anything.

My concern currently is the cost of everything, with my latest gas & electricity bill for the quarter due on Wednesday!  Now that could be a drama! :o :o ;)

Managed to get ours fixed at a reasonable amount & then I put some cash from an ISA into our energy account so our monthly outlay has gone from £115-£130 per month I'd sooner do that than pay £300 plus per month .

Indeed.  Just see this delightful lot who will have had your cash, and your life, Opti given half the chance, who live or at least operated in and around your county.

People offend because...

1....The chance of getting caught is slim.
2....Prison isn't what it was in the Victorian era......so even if they do get caught it's not that bad.

The liberal do-Gooders Opti have a lot to answer for >:( >:(

How many times do those who steal 10’s of thousands from individuals, who are left traumatised, let alone from the public bodies like the NHS and schools, get suspended sentences and “work in the community”?  What a load of blood boiling bullshit!  It makes me fume, especially as I spent most of my professional life bringing to book these bloody criminals, although some at least got 10 year sentences at the time, but the others………. >:( >:( >:(

Lincolnsausageshire, like Yorkshirepuddingshire, is totally different in various areas. You can't compare Scunny with Gainsborough, just as you can't compare Bradford with York.

If you use contactless payments all of the time, you are contributing to the death of cash. I use a mix of cards and cash, to try and keep the supply of it going.

Decline in cash use eases after pandemic slump https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62576024
