Tucker Carlson Outlines How Joe Biden is Implementing the Green New Deal Energy Program and Killing the U.S. Economy, and Standard of Living, in The Process
July 13, 2022 | Sundance
During an extensive opening monologue on Tuesday evening, Fox News host Tucker Carlson walked through the origin of the modern American push for a transformation in the U.S. energy system; as outlined in the Green New Deal advocacy of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and how Joe Biden is implementing the agenda by executive fiat.
The Green New Deal is domestically to the U.S. as the Build Back Better agenda is to the rest of the western nations who follow the instructions from the World Economic Forum. Collectively the economies of western government are starting to collapse as the underlying energy policies (climate change) are being implemented.
Carlson walks through several examples of countries who have tried and failed to switch from oil, gas and coal to the “green renewable” energy programs. Everything from farming to home heating is now under attack by the governmental energy policies of western nations. Civil society is starting to collapse in according to the schedule of the nations who have tried to transition. Perhaps the worst part about it, is that western politicians -like Joe Biden- do not care how much damage is done, they are doing it anyway. WATCH:
Something has to change, and soon. As a nation we are going to self-destruct if we do not stop this mad effort to use windmills and solar energy as alternative power sources to oil, coal and natural gas. Already there are signs that states like Texas are bordering on an energy crisis because there is not enough wind to power their windmills.
From the complete restructuring of farming under the guise of climate change (the intentional shift to eating bugs and lab-grown meat), to the complete collapse of stable energy as a result of chasing climate change goals, we are fast approaching the point of no easy return.
We are not going to like the civil unrest and national instability that comes along with public desperation.

Hell, I’d even be happy if the Russian Military came in to save America now!
Any US military watching whats going on in our country, its about time to do something about this now
I have faith, and surprisingly patience (which I’ve never mastered until now), but this is killing people. All of this needs to be stopped now.
I think we are almost over the Precipice, we came to it sometime early this year. What happens we were pass the precipice?
But thank you for reminding me about having faith, I will make that my affirmation. But, I am worried for those in our country being beaten down and dying because of what happened in 2020.
Dear God please help all of us NOW, and most especially for those in the greatist need in our country, its time. Not me will but thine be done.
Eva Vlaardingerbroek Summarizes all the Merging Food, Energy and Farming Issues with Stark Advice to Americans
July 12, 2022 | Sundance
Eva Vlaardingerbroek is a GB News correspondent and conservative voice from Holland. In this interview segment with NTDNews Ms. Vlaardingerbroek outlines what is happening in the Netherlands with the Dutch farm protests and how it connects to the larger Agenda 2030 goals.
In the last 20 seconds of the segment, Vlaardingerbroek has some solid advice for Americans. WATCH (2 mins):
Spoiler 2nd Amendment
To really get a strong reference point for how the global ruling elites at the World Economic Forum think about farming and climate change, which includes the brain trust at the World Health Organization, I would urge you to read THIS ARTICLE from the Irish Farmers Journal.
When I first read this article about Irish farming -mostly referencing government policy- what stood out to me more than anything was the open hubris and arrogance in the mindset of the people cited.
They openly say the goal of the fundamental change in the global food system is to control what people eat, allocate specific amounts of caloriesaccording to the goals of the climate change officials, and completely take over the way farming is done.
The article is written from a sympathetic standpoint of how government needs to help farmers transition away from their agricultural world as they lose their farm operations. The openly communist outlook is really quite remarkable.

Article from Ireland mentioned:
Food systems change threatens farm livelihoods
Significant food system change is needed to address food security and climate challenges, but it risks decimating farm incomes. Policy analyst Anne Finnegan examines a new OECD FAO report.
The next decade will bring significant pressure on the global food system to transform radically.
While much of the current focus and debate in on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (21-37% which come from food) and halting and restoring biodiversity loss, the challenge is much broader.
Implementing World Health Organisation food targets could be a huge win for health, climate and limiting hunger, but would be challenging for farming according to a new report from OECD-FAO.
Food systems around the world face a triple challenge of providing food security and nutrition to a growing global population, providing livelihoods to those along the food supply chain and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Globally about two billion people do not have regular access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food and a similar number are overweight or obese.
At the same time, technical and structural change are putting pressure on those working on half a billion farms worldwide and all along the food supply chain.
Business as usual is not the answer
There are no simple solutions. Following a business as usual path, zero hunger would not be achieved by 2030 and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would continue to increase, according to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2022-2031.
It forecasts that average global productivity would need to increase by 28% over the next decade to achieve zero hunger. That’s more than triple the increase recorded in the last decade.
The OECD-FAO assert that comprehensive action to boost agricultural investment and innovation and to enable transfer of knowledge, technology and skills are urgently required in order to put the agricultural sector on the path for sustainable productivity growth and the transformation of sustainable food systems.
Current diet and population trends increase risk
OECD-FAO state that current dietary and population growth trends will exacerbate risks to both people and the planet.
Global diets have changed considerably in the past 50 years, with increased consumption of resource-intensive and energy-dense foods which has led to a rise in overweight and obese people .
Growing population and rising per-capita food consumption have also increased environmental resource pressure and degradation and led to a rise in greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land use.
The solution may lie in achieving the World Health Organisations (WHO) targets on fat and sugar.
While this would have a positive impact on food security and nutrition, the reduction in food prices and global production resulting from this change in diets negatively affects farmers’ livelihoods, according to FAO-OECD.
Germany, in the past few weeks, has launched the development of a sustainable and healthy nutrition strategy. The ambition is to work towards more plant-based and less sugar-, fat- and salt-based diets.
Everything but farming wins
OECD-FAO modelling examined the impact over a 10-year period of implementing the WHO targets of reducing free sugar consumption (added sugars in any form) to a maximum of 10% and fat to a maximum of 30% of appropriate caloric intake.
The results show that such a change in diet would have a large impact on food security and nutritional outcome, with the prevalence of obesity and overweight people declining by 46% and 28% respectively compared to the baseline.
As prices fall for most commodities, global food expenditure decreases by 35%, resulting in a 3% decline in the prevalence of undernourishment at the global level.
However, this dietary change also has a significant impact on farmer livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
Strong price declines for sugar (-28%), poultry (-44%), pork (-62%), beef (-63%), butter (-73%) and cheese (-53%) result in a 30% drop in farm revenues relative to the baseline. Lower production of several commodities, including emission intensive products such as meats and dairy result in a 10% decline in GHG emissions.
The triple challenges of food systems have significant costs and consequences for economies, society and have a huge human toll.
The analysis shows that the solutions are not simple. Ensuring an adequate livelihood for farmers will be key as systems transition.
The plan to bridge the gap of farm income loss, potentially from carbon farming, needs to realistic and achievable. And critically it needs to come soon.
However, farmers too must understand that the challenges are not purely environmental and have significant societal costs….
