The Real Purpose of Net Zero
Brownstone Institute ^ | 6 Feb, 2025 | Jefferey Jaxen

The recent Telegraph headline rang out of England recently with unsettling tones: Tenth of farmland to be axed for net zero

More than 10 per cent of farmland in England is set to be diverted towards helping to achieve net zero and protecting wildlife by 2050, the Environment Secretary will reveal on Friday.

Swathes of the countryside are on course to be switched to solar farms, tree planting and improving habitats for birds, insects and fish.

The move comes on the back of an aggressive and highly unpopular inheritance tax placed on generational farmers by British politician Rachel Reeves that has drawn sustained protest in the country. The commercial officer of Britain’s largest supermarket chain Tesco warned Reeves’ tax raid on farmers is placing “UK’s future food security is at stake.

What if that’s the whole point? Tucker Carlson recently asked Piers Morgan this uncomfortable question.

Morgan refused to let his mind go there. And for good reason. It’s a dark premise. Yet one with historical context that must be analyzed due to the aggressive moves now in play against farmers around the world and humanity at large.

The British East India Company was the early template for the modern mega-corporate monopoly, globalization & vehicle to expand colonial power. Eventually dominating trade between Indian and Britain and far beyond. To say the company’s practices were ruthless would be putting it lightly.

Thomas Malthus was the East India Company’s first economist training individuals for service as administrators for the organization. Malthus was also a eugenicist in the economic wheelhouse of the world’s largest corporate monopoly with its own private army.

He wrote the following in his 1798 Essay on the Principle of Population:

The power of population is so superior to the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race. The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation. They are the precursors in the great army of destruction; and often finish the dreadful work themselves. But should they fail in this war of extermination, sickly seasons, epidemics, pestilence, and plague, advance in terrific array, and sweep off their thousands and ten thousands. Should success be still incomplete, gigantic inevitable famine stalks in the rear, and with one mighty blow levels the population with the food of the world.

Eugenicists aren’t picky. Whatever gets people off the planet en masse – they’re into. Notice his last sentence, when bases are loaded and “success be still incomplete,” it’s the famine that is the preferred home run hitter – the weapon of choice.

In the 1860s, the full weight of the East India Company’s monopoly helped kill off India’s economy of textile industries putting countless out of work and forcing them into agriculture. This, in turn, made the Indian economy much more dependent on the whims of seasonal monsoons as dry seasons gripped the country.

The Indian and British press carried reports of rising prices, dwindling grain reserves, and the desperation of peasants no longer able to afford rice.

All of this did little to stir the colonial administration into action. In the mid-19th Century, it was common economic wisdom that government intervention in famines was unnecessary and even harmful. The market would restore a proper balance. Any excess deaths, according to Malthusian principles, were nature’s way of responding to overpopulation. - BBC

The current overlay argument government, NGOs, and global bodies like the United Nations are using to interrupt farming during present day is because of ‘net zero’ goals.

[See video below on the origin of the ‘climate crisis’ narrative highlighting the Club of Rome’s hand in crafting the modern day operation.]

Cows create greenhouse gases, carbon emissions from fertilizers, destruction of wildlife, and people themselves are all, we are told to believe, BIG negatives for the earth. Therefore they must be reduced.

Not in an orderly way, but as fast as possible because we’re told change in climate is the biggest, world-ending threat humans face – or something like that.

The United Nations [think Agenda 2030, Paris Agreement] has been the prime mover, policy-shaping action arm to accomplish this ‘net zero’ utopia. Enter Julian Huxley.

Huxley emerges after World War 2 as a crucial bridging figure from what has been referred to as “old eugenics” [Malthus] to a new eugenics based on molecular biology and human evolution.

In 1945 as World War 2 was ending, the United Nations was founded in New York. That same year, the United Nations Conference for the Establishment of an Education and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) was also founded in London with Julian Huxley becoming the first Director-General.

One year later Huxley wrote UNESCO ITS PURPOSE AND ITS PHILOSOPHY stating:

At the moment, it is probable that the indirect effect of civilisation is dysgenic instead of eugenic; and in any case it seems likely that the dead weight of genetic stupidity, physical weakness, mental instability, and disease-proneness, which already exist in the human species, will prove too great a burden for real progress to be achieved. Thus even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for Unesco to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.

As it appears we are now in the home stretch of the environmental overlay of modern-day eugenics, the consensus-building and subtle messaging are being done away with.

A 2022 research article published in the journal Social Studies of Science titled Environmental Malthusianism and Demography writes:

Some bioethicists argue that, because ‘we are threatened with more population than the planet can bear’, humans simply ‘don’t have a right to more than one biological child’ (Conly, 2016: 2). Some recommend that governments act to uphold this limit (Hickey et al., 2016). Even feminist historians and sociologists of science, including some sharp critics of the population control projects of the late 20th century, now call for measures to reduce childbearing as a means of combatting climate change. Environmental Malthusianism, the idea that human population growth is the primary driver of environmental harms and population control a prerequisite to environmental protection, is experiencing a resurgence.

The current leadership of the UK, EU member states and the U.S. in regards to climate. Where Keir Starmer is racing to fulfill ‘net zero’ goals, as of last week, the U.S. has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change via executive order.

Without food, food production, and farming, there is famine. It’s that simple. The failed pandemic response was a reminder of that.

It has been assumed that leaders and policymakers, especially the United Nations, know these basic historical and current facts. Farmers are becoming endangered because of government policy to meet ‘climate goals’ and it’s being allowed to happen.

The war on farmers is happening all over the world at the same time.

isn’t a protected wildlife area a dogwhistle for “Free range hunting and trapping area”? IF you don’t get caught.

It’s all getting confusing, some say we shouldn’t eat meat and now we’ll have to cut back on plant foods, what’s next? Food produced in laboratories?

The UK has less biological diversity than the places where the replacement food would have to be grown.

The world is better off if the UK continues to use its farmland to produce food than seeing native habitat destroyed in foreign countries so foreign land can be used to produce food for Brits.

“Cows”

The US has about 100 million bovines and about 3 million square miles.

Do you really expect me to believe one belching bull or cow per 20 acres could impact the climate?

The author is headed in the right direction, but it was the Bank of England that drove that.

The peak of Malthus' thinking was with the Bloomsbury Group in London (that included Marx and eventually all three Huxleys). It was that tradition that migrated to the US, as distilled in Benjamin Kidd's book, The Science of Power.

The population problem cited by Malthus et al. was in large part solved by technologies of refrigeration, mechanization, transportation, and pest control.

”… Tenth of farmland to be axed for net zero …”

.

So I guess 10% of the ‘useless eaters’ (us) will have to go too, eh?

Citizens must die, to make life better for the elite. Bunch of damned fools for allowing this.

My guess is the idea that “Well if all these rural hicks have to move to more modern, progressive cities, we’ll be needing more multi-family housing... no one should be able to live in their own house on their own land since it is so unfair. (to recently arriving “new Britons”.

Communists always control populations with food. Every time where they rise up and take power they get control of the food systems and immediately create shortages to control the desperate hungry masses.

The USA is finally attempting to loose the chains off its ankles. Only with prayer can this be successful.

It used to be they (wicked Klaus and the WEF sycophants embedded in Governments around the world) experimented on remote places like Cyprus or the far East and then moved on in 2020 to post CV19 New Zealand and Australia who fell right into place with little push back. Now its on to the UK and they are rolling over even faster, King Charles is happy to comply with the will of Klaus and his false prophet Yuval Noah Harari.

Satan is not in control of when his time will come, it may not be for years, decades or longer so he always has some wicked tools like these ready to perform his “miracles” on the Earth.

We are at war with evil.

Manufactured crises, censorship to control evil narratives to make people believe the lie, flood in outside military aged invaders, use bio-warfare and other means and create chaos, fear and confusion to empower the CCP style totalitarian Surveillance State causing the need for global Digital IDs, cause economic meltdowns leading to the need for digital currency (CBDCs) and ultimately causing the anti-Christ Beast system as we’re shown in Revelation Chapter 13 to rise up.

That move will be their undoing and end when they do get what they really want using AI as their image of the Beast and watcher. Satan is allowed only a short time.

Jesus throws them ALL into the lake of fire at his return (exactly three and one half years) after they accomplish their evil over the Earth.

And it will be not only those who created it or who implemented it or who forced it, it will be every single person who goes along with it, those who only passively accepted it are also thrown into the lake of fire.

“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” Revelation 19:20
