The Globalist Vision: “15 Minute” Prison Cities And The End Of Private Property (Smart Cities Are A Dumb Idea)
Confounded Interest ^ | 11/13/2023 | Anthony B. Sanders

As I watch former Presidential candidate and US Secretary of State John F. Kerry (although the always bitter Hillary Clinton comes to mind as well), I roll my eyes at the staggering hypocrisy of “climate envoy” John Kerry flying the globe in his private jet while entering the US into climate scams that most Americans don’t want. And lecturing us in that droning voice on why we are bad people if we drive a gas-powered car. But Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum approves of Kerry’s message.

Even the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is on board with the WEF’s and UN’s 15-minute (smart) city idea: herding people into highly dense, walkable cities (like walking around New York City). AEI calls it “Walkable Oriented Development.” And actually has a tool showing walkable areas that AEI wants cities to embrace.

As an example, I live in Columbus Ohio. Here is a map of my neighborhood. The gray areas are walkable areas. Although Sawmiill Road (70) is shown as a walkable area, I have NEVER seen anyone walking on Sawmill Road. Traffic is congested and it is primarily a large, disconnected outdoor shopping mall). My neighborhood is on this map, but according to AEI is not walkable, yet I chose this neighborhood for its limited traffic and walkability. Go figure. I would purposefully avoid a walkable city, but them I like driving my ICE (internal combustion engine) car and riding my bike. Riding a bike on congeted Sawmill Rd would be suicide.

Now, Federal, State and Local governments will all claim that they can’t force you to live in walkable areas. But governments can sure incentivize/punish you to meet their objectives. Yes, crowding people into walkable 15-cities creates congestion, likely increases crime, and makes for a population more easily controlled.

No private property? Own nothing? Yeah, sure. They intend to BE the owners. Think you’ll get to stroll through Bill Gates estate? Go trespass on Ted Turner’s ranches in New Mexico and see how fast the cowboy minions show up. You’ll think you blundered onto the Yellowstone ranch.

lefturd loon utopia:

-remove private cars, private transportation, and roads in favor of walking/public transit.
-make people dependent on the city for travel.
-high surveillance of resource use like electricity and consumption
-monitoring of individual "carbon footprints."
-little choice or privacy.
-People's work options and mobility would be artificially limited
-Private property would end,
-citizens as labor for the state.
-changing systems of production/economics to dominate the populace and end industry/trade autonomy.
-force sacrifices and control population behavior long-term
-end individual freedom, private property rights,
-a system of surveillance and government overreach

OK, that was short, and utterly perfect. Great video. YOu should consider posting that as a thread all of it’s own.

Look up “dipshit” in the dictionary and you should see a picture of John Kerry in there.

Call it what it is: a desire of the elites to return to feudalism.

I would think there would be a great many “regulators” who would find misfortune before this could be fully implemented, thus strongly discouraging further infringement.

The left aren’t happy unless they are making everyone else but them miserable

Elites, violating our rights to the pursuit of happiness by corraling us into cramped concentration camps where they control every aspect of our lives. I love fishing hunting, hiking and exploring- all things that would be Impossible from the confinement of 15 minute cities.

The elites sure are full of themselves to think that they can violate our inalienable right to the pursuits of happiness. Maybe it shou8ld behoove society to corral the elites themselves into 15 minute cities, and see how they like it? Experience what they want to push on everyone else but themselves!

Missing the point. These elites want the majority of the population dead. The remaining that are left will live in community hives, as slaves or dupes being experimented on. Satanic, billionaires pedo pervs rule the world.

“Walkable Area” = area where you won’t be able to avoid criminals and homeless.

I rather doubt this will ever pan out the way the Globalists would like. People are squishy. They move about a lot. Literally millions have fled the likes of NYC and Chicago for exurban locations 100 miles or more away from the big city death traps.

Shopping malls have pretty much died because most people are unwilling to walk even a few hundred feet.

Many people are too lazy even to make coffee.

Many people have specialized skills.

If there are two possible employers in your 15-minute area that would need your skills and they don’t hire you, you need to get a job outside your 15-minute area to pay a mortgage.

I saw something the other day that showed France, Germany, another country could all fit inside Texas with room for a few more. My nephew was in Germany and thought nothing of driving to France, Italy, or Spain.
These people don’t realize how big America is.
