You knew they would try to pivot off the draconian COVID policies and use climate change as the pretext to deploy the same rigid controls over our lives. Now, perhaps a trial balloon is being floated for a “climate lockdown.”
The noxious idea is that we are at (yet another) tipping point, and that unless government radically seizes centralized control of the economy, it will be shutdown time. From, “Avoiding a Climate Lockdown,” by Mariana Mazzucato, Founding Director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose:
Under a “climate lockdown,” governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently....

....Is a ‘Climate Lockdown’ Next?....
NOPE!!!!
Of course. The covid lockdown was to train us to be good sheep and to accept whatever they do to us.
Yes, they will do that. Only it won’t be called a lockdown. They will ban private gas-powered cars whenever they feel like it. They will shut off electricity to beat us into submission. When they ban backup generators there will be a civil war.
“Is a ‘Climate Lockdown’ Next?”
Guaranteed!
“Is a ‘Climate Lockdown’ Next?”
That’s already a climate lockdown at my house...a constant and comfortable 72°. Although, I have to admit, I’ll occasionally bump the thermostat down to 70° at night during the summer. Is that wrong?
...a look around our country over the past six months?

Hopefully, the forecast existential threat of global warming is less coercive than the perceived immediate personal threat from COVID.
No Mas, k?
You just can't have any fuel for it.
We can hope, for sure.
Christians are being arrested for singing - outside and with social distancing. A woman was tazed in public - outside, in front of her children - for not wearing a mask.
Oh yes, it’s happening and will be a thousand fold worse if they take full control of the federal government.
California will probably be the trial case and it will go great until the population is reduced to he coastal billionaires who have the power to insulate themselves from mandates and from taxes, and the paupers and foreigners that populate the rest of the state.The money that is not rich enough to avoid the necessary extreme taxation will all have left for other states they have not yet corrupted with their ideology or for foreign shores.
and that’s what this whole stinking covid lockdown was about possibly- a trial run- i said it the other day- this very well could be the means (the lock-downs i mean) that allow an Anti-Christ to take over and demand that people take the mark in order to even leave their houses, shop, get fuel, heating oil, get electricity etc-
Cripple the world through lock-down, then demand allegiance in order to get some relief
I had previously speculated that it would be climate change that forced the mark of the beast on people - on those who wanted relief from strict regulations regarding the climate (ie, to be able t0 purchase electricity, fuel etc- anything that creates CO2), but now that these lock-downs have come about, I’m thinking this very well may be how the anti-Christ comes to power- Lock the whole dang world down, cripple them financially, then sit back and watch them beg for relief- and grant it... but the mark and allegiance must come first-
Not sure if it is how, but it sure seems like it could be- People. es[ecially parents with kids to feed- will be desperate to just get food, water, etc- heat in the winters- etc- many will do whatever it takes to get this relief-
Only because the vast majority agreed with the Covid lockdown.
Cut that to 15% and see what happens.
The sheeple complied with COVID lockdowns because of fear for their life. Convincing the same sheeple that climate change threatens their life momentarily would be a stretch even for this bunch of democrats and media (but I repeat myself).
Post election, I expect DjT, Dr. Scott Atlas and others to hammer down with the truth about COVID and the ridiculously minute chances of death, inefficacy of masks (and danger of), etc. to make it clear we’ve been had for political reasons.
They fooled us once....don’t try it again. They will not survive their elected office, as this pandemic will begin to demonstrate in Nov. I refuse to believe the majority of our populace is insane.
‘It gives them an air of superiority as they proudly wear their symbols so submission. i.e. their masks.’
that’s it, exactly; the will to be supercilious snobs...
Yes- The beatings will continue until morale improves!
‘Post election, I expect DjT, Dr. Scott Atlas and others to hammer down with the truth about COVID and the ridiculously minute chances of death, inefficacy of masks (and danger of), etc. to make it clear we’ve been had for political reasons.’
was there something stopping Trump from doing this prior to November...?
...yes....fear of alienating voters, primarily seniors. We’d all prefer the truth now, but I give him a pass on this with the virtual future of the country at stake.
He’d get no cooperation from media. Zero. Mass condemnation in fact from most all quarters. Look at the pedestal Fauci spoke from. At this point, it can wait, imho. Lame duckiness frees him up.
This is just the tip of the iceberg if we give them control
