Trump Addresses C02-Choked Audience

Yet WEF may abandon climate change for AI

• Trump's comments to WEF broadly align with its industrial objectives

• The difference is his focus on national, rather than supra-national, interest

• Massive energy needs of AI may force Davos to loosen its focus on climate change

• Two narratives clashed. AI is going to save the world; renewable energy not much

• How did self-strangulation or asphyxia became an economic policy?

• Is climate a distraction from reconfiguring energy in ways that are not yet clear?

The end of the Green Deal – the new agenda for Europe as a business location.

Trump may be providing an exit from the climate ramp. It seems plain that the globalists' latest AI obsession is incompatible with their long-running carbon ogre.

When they dreamed up the New Ice Age in the 1950s and 60s, artificial intelligence was niche science.

The heirs of Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann managed the population through narratives, nudges and winks.

Cybernetics was a future dream because they didn't have the computing power. Now is reality but it requires tons of energy.

When the New Ice Age failed to arrive in the late 20th century they replaced it with Global Warming. But whatever the flavour of climate crisis, frappucino or spice latte, they cannot avoid the growing need for vast energy capacity.

Renewables cannot do it; wind and solar are not a joke, they're an insult. AI algorithms and cybernetic control of the masses needs oil, gas, coal, nuclear and more.

How to transition? Europe’s Ursula or America’s O'Biden would not admit they had trodden the dead end of energy rationing.

They needed the contrarian “other” that would recklessly abandon climate change, pull out of the Paris Accords (vague platitudes anyway) for a second time — a double crime against humanity by Orange Man Bad.

Thus we could have our AI, and feel that we had done our best for the climate, while enjoying our cars and phones, with their cobalt mined by children, as we ignored their and our own digital slavery.

It's the one-two punch. Don't even grace it with academic verbiage like dialectic. It is two thieves, one attracting your attention to the starving puppy while the other picks your pocket.

Trump’s pitch

We have examined president Donald Trump's foreign policy and domestic options. Yesterday he spoke to the World Economic Forum, remotely.

He addressed complaints that regulations and taxes in the EU are too high. The chairman of French energy giant Total spoke of its investment in Texas as the world's largest LNG player. He asked for guarantees of supply from U.S. to Europe.

Under emergency declaration Trump will double the energy available in the U.S. for artificial intelligence (AI) to be as big as it needs to compete with China.

The objective is power plants off grid, dedicated to data centres. Trump described copying the Chinese practice of nearby coal plants as back up.

So far, so good for the WEF's corporate backers.

The net zero project fits hand in glove with other proposals to fully control the human population. If previous experiments with Utopias that tout equity have taught us anything, it is that “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

As Dr Oliver Tearle has observed, George Orwell’s example of doublethink “contains a grain of sense which allows the bigger lie to flourish.” The pigs are equal among themselves while other animals are repressed and given barely enough food to survive.

But Trump also set an objective of 15 per cent tax for companies that manufacture in the U.S.. In the Davos-friendly European Union tax competition is frowned upon; they favour harmonised taxes.

Regarding China he wanted an answer to the $1.2 trillion trade deficit as of 2023. As we shall see in this article, the U.S. has never liked deficits, and president Barack Obama also put pressure on Germany and China, though with less success than Trump.

"I would like to meet with president Putin to stop that war as soon as possible. There are so many young people being killed in this war. We have mad a lot of progress in the Middle East and we hope that is going to come along as well."

Trump has a dislike of the war business. Having cut his teeth in New York where he worked with all kinds, it's as if the good side of the mob rubbed off on him: you make your money, but there are certain things you do not do. Above all, you don't harm the children or slaughter the youth.

Stoke like China

He wants nuclear reduction talks with Russia in particular, but also with China.

Ouch, he told the CEO of Bank of America to grant bank accounts to Conservatives instead of debanking people for their politics - "because what you are doing is wrong."

To keep the reader entertained, and move swiftly on, this article is in two parts.

Will the WEF step aside from its focus on climate change, as the contradictions of AI and renewable energy become evermore clear?

Secondly, how did we reach a point where self-strangulation or asphyxia became an economic policy — were the people are being acclimatised to austerity?

We are talking about the WEF because it is meeting now. It is the most public platform of centralisers, although there is the Council on Foreign Relations-Chatham House, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group (run by mostly the same people) and that's ignoring the hundreds of (non) governmental organisations, charities and philanthropies that profit in whole or part from taxpayer funds while promoting an agenda on behalf of a small, entitled portion of society.

Lost whales

You wondered, perhaps, how the environmental movement went off track, from the days when Greenpeace would save the whales, to the present slaughter of whales by wind farm construction. And how we were schooled like fish to separate our waste for recycling (plastic they just burn) while governments did little about pollution?

The History Forum has the answer:

"In the early 1970s, a different kind of climate worry took hold: global cooling. As more people became concerned about pollutants people were emitting into the atmosphere, some scientists theorized the pollution could block sunlight and cool Earth."

So pollution became good! And "save the whales"? To hell with them. [1]

I don't believe this rewriting of history for a moment. But it is true that the evolving needs (obsessions) of society do affect what we (care to) worry about.

That's happening now with artificial intelligence. Governments are so keen on it that they are beginning to throw climate change overboard.

Perhaps we'll start worrying about pollution and saving the whales again.

Shooting tigers

As a child I only joined two organisations: Baden-Powell's Cub Scouts and the World Wildlife Fund. It was a few short years after the WWF had been founded in Switzerland in 1961. It was the latest thing, along with the Moon landings — our planet and its Satellite of Love.
