The WEF seeks to drastically reduce the number of private vehicles by 2050
American Thinker ^ | 8 Jun, 2023 | Eric Utter

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is encouraging cities to “contain growth of private car use” and, in fact, aims to drastically reduce the number of cars by 2050, according to a recently published white paper. The briefing paper, titled “The Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility,” was published by the WEF in collaboration with Visa in May 2023, according to lifesitenews.com. The paper cites now nearly ubiquitous (yet falsified) data and (the inaccurate and dishonest) climate models as reasons for the WEF’s assault on private cars.

The document strongly urged increased “shared, electric, connected and automated (SEAM) transport modes and a shift to more compact cities” as a means to reduce the number of cars to 500 million worldwide by 2050 in order to drastically reduce carbon emissions. It reads:

“No one city, or one company, can achieve this vision alone. Through strong public-private collaboration, we can find innovative, impactful, and context-sensitive solutions for mobility to enable a sustainable future for cities.”

Context-sensitive, you say? What a load of crap!

The key word here is “private.” The elitists who desperately wish to shape (read “rule”) the world going forward are not fond of common folks being able to go where they want, whenever they want—without their knowledge, input, direction, and approval.

I am sure that the WEF folks are not fond of the 2A either.

Pretty much by definition, “public-private partnerships” are fascist.

That’s because those vehicles represent freedom for the individual.

So you rent a random car like you rent a random bicycle? What happens when someone says “Hey I rented that first!”

When they are all autonomous and controlled from a central point, the gracious leaders may decide to shut down transport in entire sectors....especially to quell disturbances caused by white men who do not appreciate the utopia created for them.

They DREAM of us all living our entire lives in little gray apartments, taking the bus to work, and being transported once a year to the lake barracks for annual vacation.

They want to drastically reduce the number of people, too.

They are somehow under the delusion that they can maintain their standard of living with far fewer people. The problem is, the ones they are hellbent on eliminating are the educated, productive ones.

Take a bus? Not here. A bus means either robbery or assault.

Until the ferals are locked up, nothing will change as far as public transportation.

You won’t need a car in their 15 (slave camp) minute city. Only your Demi gods get vehicles.

For years I’ve been following the development of vertical and take-off flying cars.
One of the first was the Kittyhawk Flyer flying 6 feet above a lake and licensed as a recreation vehicle the same as an ultralight.

Donald Trump:
The second big mechanism in Trump’s Quantum Leap plan will be transportation. “Dozens of major companies in the U.S. and China are racing to develop vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles for families and individuals,” he said. “Just as the United States led the automotive revolution in the last century, I want to ensure that America, not China, leads this revolution in air mobility. These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into RURAL America, and connect families and our country in new ways.”

You don’t read about EVTOLs, but a YouTube search shows how much research and development is going into them. YouTube search EVTOL.

Autonomous flight at 160 miles an hour will allow us to leave the cities and their social engineering sustainable cities.

WHEN will it be time to actively reduce WEF MEMBERS?

I’d rather drastically reduce the number of WEF persons. Any US government official participating in the WEF (which includes both parties) should be accused of treason. Any corporate CEO involved in that organization should be fired and/or their company brand given the Bud Light treatment.

We have enough world history available to read and understand the risk an organization like the WEF could become, fueled by persons who perceive themselves ‘enlightened’ or better than others by way of wealth or public position. The WEF is an enemy of the core values of our representative republic, an enemy of freedom.

They’re not even trying to hide the fascism anymore. Public-private = fascism

No, it’ll be predicated by the UN.
In keeping with the third world majority UN membership, the OIC, they proscribed a two transportation mode for each family. One camel and one ass for backup citing their low carbon footprint.

Instead of promoting the west in its ability to solve problems, they’ve decided to handcuff ability and destroy achievements.

A massive step backwards for mankind.

And redistribute the wealth to the goat herders (humpers)

They have a dream—a world of peons driving rickshaws with the elites riding in them.
