Prince Charles was marking the 50th anniversary of a landmark speech he made on the environment by calling for nature to be put back at the center of modern life.

There was also derision for his practical solutions, like a bottle bank at Buckingham Palace or installing a reed-bed sewage treatment system at his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire.
Speaking in an interview on the Sustainable Markets website, the Prince said: “Everything we are doing has been to destroy our own means of survival, let alone the survival of everything else we depend on.

Many years ago (here on FR, you can see it if you click on my name) I predicted a crazy new religion would emerge.

Since the elites seem intent on owning the world by 2030, is there some significance to that year, in Roman Catholicism, Islam or the Occult?
