This may well go down as the single greatest transfer of public assets by elected democratic governments in world history.
Without any serious consultation with their own citizens, Western governments eagerly aligned with the UN and signed onto framework agreements like the 2015 Paris Accord. What began as voluntary international targets rapidly morphed into binding domestic legislation.
The resulting legacy is the systematic exclusion of taxpayers from decision-making, while administrations power ahead, committing billions in subsidies to unproven pet projects—such as Australia’s much-hyped green hydrogen initiative.
Virtually all heavy industry across the West is now in chronic decline. Manufacturing jobs are being hollowed out, striking directly at power-intensive sectors like electric arc steel, aluminium smelting, and fertiliser production. Once-abundant, cheap, and reliable hydrocarbon energy is being degraded and decommissioned in favour of weather-dependent renewables.
Simultaneously, the supply chain for this transition has been handed lock, stock, and barrel to Beijing. China now produces roughly 90% of all photovoltaic components, refined critical minerals, and panel hardware—cementing its position as the greatest manufacturing power in history through an unprecedented transfer of Western wealth.
In place of high-density power generation, more than a million wind turbines and an estimated 9 billion solar panels are now scattered across open farmlands, hillsides, and coastal vistas. Because these sources are intermittent and unreliable, integrating them into existing power grids presents a colossal $21 trillion global infrastructure challenge.
Prior to this shift, Western industrial policy prioritised dense, dispatchable energy security. Today, governments unilaterally lock in multi-decade decarbonisation commitments that outlast their electoral tenures by decades. Vast tracts of public and agricultural land are greenlit and bulldozed for transmission corridors, access roads, and sprawling industrial turbine arrays—all to serve an intangible belief system that vilifies carbon dioxide, the very driver of essential energy and biological growth.
The tangible result? Some of the most expensive household power bills in modern history, the destruction of dispatchable coal and gas capacity, and severe damage to national industrial, economic, and defensive resilience.
As one outraged writer noted, Net Zero stands as perhaps the most diabolical act of self-inflicted harm ever visited upon democratic nations by their own leadership.
Government by regulatory decree is not government by representation. Mandating a multi-decade economic rewiring without an explicit electoral mandate violates the fundamental social contract between the state and the citizen. Locking in 30-year subsidy contracts strips future generations of their democratic right to adjust policy based on real-world performance.
If we weren’t so accustomed to being betrayed, it would be recognised for what it is: a raw, heavy-handed exercise in power at the expense of the people.

They didn’t build this in a day. They built it over a century – organization by organization, think tank by think tank, generation by generation. Here is the architecture.
The Fabian Society (1884) – the founding model. Don’t storm the institutions. Infiltrate them. Their emblem: the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Their method: patience, permeation, the long march.
The London School of Economics (1895) – the Fabians’ educational arm. Trained the politicians, civil servants, economists, and journalists who would run the twentieth century across the entire English-speaking world.
The Council on Foreign Relations (1921) – the American establishment’s thinking apparatus. Produced every secretary of state, every CIA director, every Fed chairman for fifty years. Decided what American foreign policy would be before the elected officials were briefed.
The Institute for Social Research – Frankfurt School (1923) – the philosophical engine. Critical Theory: everything to be criticized, nothing to be built. Relocated to Columbia in 1934. Gave the project its intellectual foundations.
The Bilderberg Group (1954) – the annual meeting of the people who actually run things. No minutes. No press. The institution that made the globalist project feel inevitable by ensuring that everyone who mattered had already agreed before the public debate began.
The Club of Rome (1968) – the inventors of civilizational pessimism as policy. The Limits to Growth (1972) the report that said the world was running out of everything and growth must stop. The intellectual origin of every degrowth policy, carbon credit scheme, and ESG score that followed.
The World Economic Forum (1971) – Klaus Schwab, Davos, the Young Global Leaders program. The specific mechanism by which the next generation of leaders is identified, formed, and networked before they reach power. Trudeau, Macron, Merkel, Ardern – the alumni list is the most important political fact of the last thirty years that nobody taught in school.
The Open Society Foundations – Soros. The capillary system: thousands of NGOs, media organizations, legal funds, and civil society groups across every Western country, funded from above, appearing organic from below. The man who broke the Bank of England in 1992 used the proceeds to fund the institutions that make such actions possible.
Common Purpose (1989) – the British version of the Young Global Leaders, operating at the institutional level. Its graduates run the BBC, the NHS, the police, the civil service, local government, and the judiciary. The Fabian Society’s training arm, updated for the post-Thatcher era. Less known than the others. More operationally precise.
The Spinelli Group – the EU federalist network inside the European Parliament, advancing the program Altiero Spinelli wrote in prison in 1941: dissolve national sovereignty permanently into supranational administration, embed it in economic integration that makes political separation prohibitively costly, and make it irreversible by design. Still running. Still working as designed.
One century. Ten organizations. The same destination reached from different directions – through culture, education, finance, regulation, and the formation of the people who would run everything.
And on the other side?
Nothing comparable. No institution with a long term mandate. No formation pipeline for the next generation of civilizational builders. No coordinated funding of the alternative. No Davos for those who believe in Western civilization rather than its managed dissolution.
We need a Council of Western Civilization.👇🏻
Public. Transparent. Everything the other side is not – because the defense of Western civilization does not require darkness. It requires exactly what the other side cannot offer: the truth, stated plainly, in public, without a mask.
They had a century and a plan.
We have the truth, the talent, X, and the collapse of their distribution monopoly.
That should be enough.
Let’s build it.
I’ll be honest with you: until recently I didn’t know much about the Fabian Society. Maybe it’s because the English know how to be smooth – so correct me if I am getting something wrong.
The Fabian Society was founded in London in 1884. Named after Quintus Fabius Maximus – the Roman general famous for defeating Hannibal not through direct confrontation but through patience, attrition, and the slow wearing down of the enemy. The name was chosen deliberately. It was the strategy.
Their emblem was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They chose this themselves. It is worth sitting with that for a moment: an organization that selected, as its own symbol, the image of predatory intent disguised as harmless appearance – deception as the founding principle, the operational method, the thing they were most proud of. Not imposed by critics. Self-selected. They were proud of it.
The strategy was simple and devastating: do not storm the institutions. Infiltrate them. Permeate them — their word — gradually, patiently, over generations, placing Fabian-trained people in positions of influence in government, academia, media, and the civil service, until the institutions produce Fabian outcomes without anyone having to announce a revolution. The revolution would happen – but slowly, invisibly, bureaucratically, democratically. By the time anyone noticed, the institutions would already have changed.
They founded the London School of Economics in 1895 – the institution that trained generations of politicians, civil servants, economists, and journalists across the entire Commonwealth and beyond. They were instrumental in creating the Labour Party in 1900. They shaped the BBC. They designed the British welfare state. George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Keir Starmer – the list of Fabians who shaped British and global politics is not a footnote. It is the history of the twentieth century’s left, stated plainly. Starmer is not an accident or an evolution of Labour. He is the current expression of a project that has been running for a hundred and forty years – patient, institutional, and entirely consistent with the original strategy.
The Fabian Society is the Gramsci long march through the institutions – but English, so better dressed and better funded, and fifty years earlier. Gramsci theorized what the Fabians had already been doing. The Fabians were the practitioners. The Frankfurt School provided the philosophy. The Fabian Society provided the operational model. And the French Theory provided the cultural packaging. Three projects, different origins, identical destination: the dismantling of Western civilization’s foundations through the patient occupation of its institutions.
What makes the Fabian model more dangerous than revolutionary socialism is precisely its smoothness. Revolution is visible. You can point at the barricades. The Fabian approach produces no barricades – only gradually changing curricula, subtly shifting editorial lines, incrementally revised civil service guidelines, and a succession of reasonable-sounding reforms that individually seem modest and collectively amount to the transformation of everything. The wolf in sheep’s clothing is not just a predator in disguise – it is a predator that has learned to speak the sheep’s language, adopt the sheep’s manners, express concern for the sheep’s welfare, and gradually rewrite the rules of the flock from the inside. By the time you notice, the wolf has been in the room for decades. It was wearing the sheep’s clothing so long that some people forgot it wasn’t a sheep. The deception was not incidental. It was the method.
The wolf in sheep’s clothing is obłuda (👇🏻) with a long-term strategy. Zakłamanie with a hundred-year plan. The Systemic Lie with a think tank and an endowment.
They were patient. They were deliberate. They were effective.
And the civilization that produced Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, and Churchill barely noticed until it was very late.

Il faut absolument détruire ce projet.
Ce sont eux qui gèrent la rareté.
Ce sont eux qui organisent l’immigration de masse.
Ce sont eux qui imposent le déclin démographique, énergétique et industriel.
Personne n’a voté pour ça.
Personne ne veut d’un futur de rationnement et de gestion centralisée de la pénurie.
Le seul chemin, c’est l’hyper-croissance, l’abondance et la colonisation du cosmos.
Elon a ouvert la voie.
On doit la suivre.
Le World Economic Forum et tous ses programmes spin-off doivent être détruits.
Ce ne sont que des officines communistes de gestion de la rareté.
Une grande majorité des problèmes du monde sont liés à ça.
Personne ne veut d’un projet de déclin.
Les gens veulent rêver d’un futur exceptionnel.
Et ce futur exceptionnel, c’est Elon Musk qui l’incarne.
Il a ouvert la voie, on doit tous suivre ce chemin.
Hyper-croissance, abondance, colonisation du cosmos, fun.

Adam Smith’s most famous sentence remains one of the clearest statements in all of social science:
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”
The point is simple and profound. We do not rely on the kindness of strangers to put food on the table. We rely on their self-interest. The butcher supplies meat because he profits by doing so. The baker rises early because customers will pay for bread. Their desire to improve their own condition leads them, without any central direction, to serve ours.
This is the central mechanism of a market economy. Self-interest, channelled through voluntary exchange, produces cooperation on a vast scale. No one has to love their customers or share their political views. They only have to respond to incentives. The result is a system that regularly feeds, clothes, and houses millions of people who will never meet.
Many on the left still struggle to accept this. Self-interest is treated as morally suspect - a form of greed that should be restrained or replaced by appeals to solidarity and collective purpose. The preference is for systems that rely on moral exhortation or state direction rather than on the everyday pursuit of personal advantage. Yet the historical record is clear: societies that suppress self-interest in the name of higher motives tend to produce shortages, stagnation, and coercion. Societies that allow people to benefit from serving others tend to produce abundance.
Smith’s insight is not a celebration of selfishness. It is a recognition of reality. People are more reliable when they can improve their own lives by improving the lives of others. That simple alignment of interests remains the most powerful engine of social cooperation ever discovered.

« You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. »
Tu ne posséderas rien, et tu seras heureux.
Le plus fou, ce n'est pas la phrase. C'est qu'on l'ait laissée passer. Qu'elle n'ait jamais déclenché le scandale civilisationnel qu'elle méritait.
Alors reprenons, calmement.
Cette phrase n'est pas un meme sorti de nulle part. C'est une vidéo officielle du World Economic Forum, 2016 : « 8 predictions for the world in 2030 ». Première prédiction, affichée noir sur blanc à l'écran : tu ne posséderas rien.
Le texte source est un essai publié sur le site du WEF par Ida Auken, députée danoise. Titre original : « Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better. »
Lis bien. Pas seulement « je ne possède rien ». Aussi : « je n'ai aucune vie privée ». Et dans le récit, la narratrice est heureuse précisément parce que chacun de ses gestes est connu, tracé, géré pour elle.
Ce n'est pas une dystopie qu'on dénonce. C'est une utopie qu'on te vend.
Puis la contestation monte, alors on recule : « ce n'était qu'une expérience de pensée, pas un programme ». Classique. On publie la vision, on teste la réaction, et quand ça résiste, on jure que ce n'était pas sérieux. Mais on ne retire jamais l'infrastructure. Jamais.
Parce que le projet, lui, est parfaitement cohérent. Abolir la propriété privée, ce n'est pas abolir la propriété. C'est la transférer intégralement vers ceux qui gèrent l'accès. Tu ne possèdes plus ta voiture, ton logement, tes outils : tu les loues, en flux, à ceux qui tiennent le robinet. Le mot pudique, c'est « accès ». Le vieux mot, c'est féodalité.
Marx voulait abolir la propriété par l'État. Ici on l'abolit par l'abonnement. Le résultat est identique : une masse qui ne possède rien, face à une caste qui possède tout et distribue l'usage. Un communisme sans drapeau rouge, déguisé en économie du partage.
Cette vision a son moment de bascule : 2020. Le « Great Reset » de Klaus Schwab. Ne jamais gâcher une bonne crise — on utilise le Covid pour accélérer ce qui, sinon, prendrait des décennies.
Et ces gens n'écrivent pas seulement. Ils placent. Schwab, à Harvard en 2017, s'en vante lui-même, mot pour mot : « We penetrate the cabinets. » Nous pénétrons les gouvernements. Son programme Young Global Leaders forme et propulse les dirigeants. Macron, promotion 2016 — l'année de sa campagne. Attal aussi.
Ce ne sont pas des « théories ». Ce sont leurs mots, leurs listes, leurs vidéos.
Maintenant, regarde ce qui avance pendant qu'on regarde ailleurs. Le projet ne progresse plus par slogans. Il progresse par règlements européens. Trois couches. Trois verrous.
Qui a quoi → l'euro numérique. Une monnaie de banque centrale, traçable par construction, plafonnée par personne (on parle de 3 000–4 000 €), que les commerçants seront obligés d'accepter. On te jure qu'elle ne sera « jamais programmable ». On te jurait aussi que « ce n'était qu'une expérience de pensée ». L'important n'est pas la promesse du jour, c'est le rail qu'on pose : une infrastructure où chaque euro que tu détiens et dépenses peut être vu, plafonné, et un jour conditionné.
Qui dit quoi → le Chat Control. Le règlement CSAR veut imposer le scan de tes messages privés, jusqu'à contourner le chiffrement de bout en bout — au nom des enfants, évidemment, toujours au nom de quelque chose. Battu de justesse au Parlement au printemps 2026. Et déjà de retour, par la porte de derrière, réécrit, élargi. Ils ne renoncent jamais. Ils reviennent.
Qui tu es → l'identité numérique européenne, le wallet eIDAS, que chaque État doit déployer et chaque grande plateforme accepter. La brique qui relie ton identité à ta parole et à ton argent.
Assemble les trois. Ce que tu possèdes : su et plafonné. Ce que tu dis : lu. Qui tu es : rattaché à tout le reste. Ce n'est pas une accumulation de lois de sécurité. C'est une architecture. La même vision de 2016, devenue code juridique.
Voilà pourquoi l'UE est le véhicule administratif rêvé de ce projet. Une bureaucratie que personne n'élit, que personne ne peut renvoyer par un vote, qui produit du règlement contraignant pendant que les nations se déchirent sur autre chose. On ne te prend pas ta liberté d'un coup. On te la dépossède ligne par ligne, directive par directive, « pour ton bien ».
Bastiat appelait ça la spoliation légale : le moment où la loi, censée protéger la propriété, devient l'instrument qui la prend. Hayek en avait tracé la trajectoire : la route de la servitude est toujours pavée de bonnes intentions et de planificateurs sincères.
« Tu ne posséderas rien, tu seras surveillé, et tu seras heureux. »
Les deux premiers, ils y travaillent. Le troisième, non. Le troisième, c'est à nous de le leur refuser.

I'm coming from France, from Europe — and for god's sake, don't do that.
I've already watched this movie. I know exactly how it ends. Let me run the tape for you.
We started at the same line. In 2008 the EU economy was actually bigger than the US — about 110% of American GDP. By 2023 it was down to 67%. Over that window the US grew 87%. Europe grew 13.5%.
Per capita it's uglier. European income was ~76% of American income in 2008. Today it's 50%. France — Descartes, the Concorde, the nuclear program — now has a GDP per capita below Arkansas, the 48th poorest US state. Germany sits around Oklahoma. Of the 50 largest tech companies on Earth, four are European. Four. No Nvidia, no Google, no SpaceX, no OpenAI. What we built instead is a regulator that writes a 383-page report explaining why we have no champions — and then implements 10% of its own recommendations.
This isn't bad luck. It's a system working exactly as designed.
Hayek explained the mechanism in 1944 and Europe didn't listen. The Road to Serfdom isn't a slogan, it's a machine. You start with the nicest intentions — fairness, equality, security. To deliver them the state has to plan. To plan, it has to override prices, contracts, individual choice. And when the plan fails — it always fails, because no central planner holds the knowledge that millions of free actors hold — the lesson is never "planning was the error." The lesson is "we didn't plan hard enough." So it takes more power. Then more. Every failure becomes the alibi for the next seizure. Socialism never arrives at its destination. It just never stops paving the road — and the road only goes one place.
Europe didn't go full Soviet. It went soft. It chose comfort over greatness, redistribution over creation, safety over risk — and the result is a continent that is rich, gorgeous, and quietly dying. Managed decline with excellent cheese. The wealthiest museum on Earth.
Now the part Americans need to hear, because you think you're immune. You're not.
Peter Thiel keeps warning about the Antichrist, and people imagine a movie villain. Wrong. The Antichrist never arrives promising war and tyranny. He arrives promising peace and safety. He's the universal manager who will protect you from every risk — climate, inequality, AI, each other — in exchange for one small thing: that nobody is ever again permitted to do anything new, anything dangerous, anything great. He's one-world stagnation enforced by fear. The final committee.
Socialism is his vehicle. It's the ideology that says risk is theft, that excellence is unfair, that the cure for every problem is more central control. It's the perfect on-ramp to a planet-wide regime of safety and stasis.
And here are the stakes nobody says out loud: America is the last engine. The frontier of compute, the people still trying to make us multi-planetary, the builders who'd rather escape the trap than manage it — almost all American. The product of the one place left on Earth that still rewards builders over bureaucrats. If America picks the European path, there is no second America to bail the species out. No frontier left. The engine of human progress switches off — not in a century, in a few years.
Why am I this certain? Because socialism doesn't merely slow you down. It rots everything it touches. It rots the economy — see the numbers. It rots incentives: punish building and reward grievance, and your best people stop building. It rots the culture: a society that resents winners eventually produces none. It rots the spirit: you trade the dignity of agency for the comfort of dependence and you call it progress.
I'm not throwing rocks from the outside. I'm writing from inside the wreckage, watching the most talented continent in human history vote, year after year, for its own anesthesia.
America — you are the control group. You're the thing the rest of us point to when we need to remember what's still possible. Do not become us.
For god's sake. Don't do that.

Her husband, a previously low-level, poorly paid public-sector employee, Dmytro Khandusenko, has been responsible for auditing all the $$$ spent on Ukraine's military procurement and wartime spending during its ongoing war with Russia.
Basically, he's the guy who's supposedly auditing all the mountains of taxpayer money that the US and other countries have been forking over to Ukraine....and here is his wife tossing $150K into the air on stage as though it's nothing.
Again, we're supposed to believe that this newly minted multimillionaire living an opulently funded lifestyle (mansions, luxury cars, expensive jewelry, etc.) achieved it on his modest annual salary of $23,000 (USD).

The Forties Pipeline System (FPS)
This is the pipeline system that carries most of the oil from the North Sea to the UK.
It collects the oil from 85 different North Sea oilfields, and flows around 550,000 barrels of oil per day back to the UK mainland. For context, in total the North Sea has around 400 offshore platforms between the UK and Norway, producing and exporting both oil and gas.
FPS is a British oil pipeline system.
Exploration drilling for North Sea oil is currently banned on the UK Continental Shelf. It has been since the current government came to power.
As a result of the drilling ban, the Forties Pipeline System is currently uninvestable according to its owner INEOS. They haven’t invested in its upkeep for 2 years.
INEOS have said the pipeline will close by 2035, but without investment maybe as early as 2030, which is now just 3.5 years away.
550,000 barrels / day is equivalent to 38.96 GW of primary energy.
This is 10x more energy than the UK’s new Hinkley Point C nuclear power project, which is projected to cost £48 billion for 3.2GW of electrical power.
Electrical energy is joule for joule more valuable than chemical energy, but the comparison of scale is real.
38.9 GW is more energy than the entire National Grid carries. The largest energy system in the UK is not the grid it is this underwater pipeline system.
With drilling banned, and the North Sea entering a period of forced closure, the Forties Pipeline System is going to close in the not too distant future.
Once the pipeline is no longer economical, the entire Central North Sea oil production will collapse with it. This isn’t something that closes down gracefully, the entire Central North Sea basin reaches market through a single pipe.
BP recently announced they are selling up their remaining assets and getting out, Exxon, Chevron, etc are all already long gone. Nobody wants their brand near this collapse.
The tax rate is 78%, the government wants this national infrastructure to shut down. It will.
The German Chancellor recently called their nuclear fleet closure a “Strategic Blunder”, interesting choice of words. But I think it was obviously a blunder to anyone outside their propaganda bubble.
Likewise the UK’s North Sea.
The German nuclear fleet averaged 10.3 GW of primary energy output over its operational life, which is around 1/4 the primary energy of the Forties Pipeline System.
The UK has a few other pipeline systems but this one is by far the largest and the most critical. Now this infrastructure, isn’t supposed to last forever. But when it goes you should have a plan.
In the UK nobody talks about this. It’s taboo.
A lot of people think “yeah but they won’t let that happen”… well it happened in Germany, and it happened in Japan.
A lot of people want it to happen, and a lot of those people are in politics.
So what replaces this? Nothing?
Is the UK just going to go silently into the night?

For four decades, we’ve been told the age of hydrocarbons is over - and the 'transition' is a fait accompli.
Yet, as conflict flares in the Middle East, the mask slips. We see clearly that today's modern world doesn't run on aspirations. It runs on the density of oil, gas and coal. It's a collision between a green climate agenda and harsh reality. The crisis narrative has already dismantled much of Western energy infrastructure and skewed our reality.
This conflict is a hard lesson, highlighting the immediate need for raw high-energy security - and plenty of it. You cannot fight a war, feed a nation or sustain an economy on intermittent power when the chips are down.
While the West has focused on dismantling the reputation of coal, oil and gas, the current crisis proves we haven't dismantled our dependence on them.
When the Strait of Hormuz is threatened, the world doesn't look to renewables to keep the lights on. It looks for the high-density power only possible from raw hydrocarbons. Warring nations need urgent baseload power to build and move navies and fly fighter jets.
While we scramble for the energy density required to protect our sovereignty, the very CO2 produced by that 'engine' is quietly fueling the greatest planetary greening event in 34 million years. Nature is far more pragmatic than our bureaucracies.

How difficult can it be to book a flight on @ryanair @RyanairPress ?
My booking now cancelled because I’ve had ‘too many tries’ on your labyrinthine process that adds so many unnecessary layers of stuff I don’t want.
Let’s hope @elonmusk sorts this out …
Seeking guidance from @Wickes and @AkzoNobel
Bought three cans of ‘Classic Cream’ outdoor paint in November. All good
Bought four more last week, delivered to wrong address by @DPD but we recovered them.
Turns out they are a different colour completely, despite being all labelled ‘classic cream’.
@AkzoNobel need to send a field engineer to inspect, and @Wickes need to empty their supply chain pending a quality check.
Happy to provide more detail.
Very good: Trafford, Roberts, Egan-Riley, Humphreys, Estève, Pires, Cullen, Brownhill, Laurent, Anthony, Hannibal, Flemming, Edwards
Good: Hladky, Worrall, Beyer, Redmond, Ramsey, Koleosho, Amdouni, Foster, Barnes
Good enough: Sonne, Banel
Trade: Trésor, Benson, Agyei, Hountondji, Churlinov, Obafemi

The lying legacy media and the "experts" were surprised inflation went down. They were surprised that oil dropped. They were surprised that jobs grew in March. They were surprised that sales increased. They were surprised that the 10-year treasury went under 4% before the tariffs. They were surprised that import prices declined in the face of tariffs in March.
At some point, a sane person would stop listening to their predictions on the economy. They have been constantly surprised and wrong since Trump took office.
They are either economically illiterate, they have a bias that they can't shake, or they are intentionally trying to tank the economy and push us into a recession.
I pick the third option as the most logical, but I don't rule out the first and second options playing a role as well. They aren't mutually inclusive.

How can anybody believe the climate is controlled by the digestive system of cows? Ruminant animals have burped methane for 50 million years and ramped it up to 0.00018%of the atmosphere. At what lower concentration will the weather be colder? stopfeedinguslies.com/cows-a…
