Is it just me or does it seem like our CT’s (conspiracy theories), become their playbooks?? Maybe it’s just that we’re astoundingly prophetic, adept at connecting the dots (see what I did there) or maybe their diabolically insane genius is just that obvious on the macro. No matter what the answer, we’ve been shown more times than not, that those CT’s should be heeded and prevented from being memory holed in the orchestrated chaos cycle, of the day.
My thanks to William M. Briggs for mentioning this story in one of his posts. I encourage you to go read his very entertaining piece. The great literary shots at NPR, are not to be missed.
It really seems like a chicken/egg dilemma. When you see the same CT - that just 6 months before was decried/derided - now being touted as critically needed action and the only way to save humanity - and defeat Trump of course.
Case in point - Carbon Passports. Sounds allot like vaccine passports, health passports and ESG tracking.
Ok, I am going to stop right here and remind you - whenever you hear a crazy, stupid, idiotic, dumb, self destructive, perverted, debased or outrageous idea/talking point from the left - especially if we have warned against it in a CT - take it as seriously as a honey badger, clamped onto your toy poodle. ALSO think past the surface story and ask “how does this work into all the other crazy stuff they are doing now and that they have not yet done?”
Thought experiment: This all works together on some level and many times its not even planned that way. Take 15 minute cities, as it’s own stand alone goal of the globalists. How would you get people to buy into them, when many would rebel? How about higher gas prices and remote working - I know I don’t drive around my metro area even half as much, as I used to and I work remotely, so no reason to, on that front either. How about increased/rampant crime - Our downtown has turned into a homeless and drug addict dystopia compared to it’s pre-covid levels. I used to go to dinners, shows, symphonies and businesses downtown, but no longer. No want or need to deal with and see the planned deterioration of the city, much less deal with the legal predation if i need to shoot or gut a car jacker or assailant. How about mandates - when that crap rolled out and businesses pushed them (whether they had a choice or not) I said “F’that” and never went back. So, understand that each of their actions either intentionally/unintentionally work together (synergy) to achieve a larger, usually unapparent goal.
My advice - get ahead of it, by verbally beating up whatever legislators you can. Boycotts - while most effective - are an unlikely option, as the hoards of sheeple routinely and happily put their heads and that of their children, in the mouths of wolves, in order to maintain the Nextflix-Door-dash status quo. You could choose not to fly, but then they win, by curtailing and controlling your air travel.
For any of you Climate saviors, who happened to wander into this den of horrors, here is your trigger warning:
Prepare to clutch pearls…
…clutch pearls!!

The summer of 2023 was very significant for the travel industry. By the end of July, international tourist arrivals globally reached 84% of pre-pandemic levels. In some European countries, such as France, Denmark and Ireland, tourism demand even surpassed its pre-pandemic level.
This may be great news economically, but there’s concern that a return to the status quo is already showing dire environmental and social consequences.
The summer saw record-breaking heatwaves across many parts of the world. People were forced to flee wildfires in Greece and Hawaii, and extreme weather warnings were issued in many popular holiday destinations like Portugal, Spain and Turkey. Experts attributed these extreme conditions to climate change.

Tourism is part of the problem. The tourism sector generates around one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the climate crisis.
The negative impacts of tourism on the environment have become so severe that some are suggesting drastic changes to our travel habits are inevitable. In a report from 2023 that analyzed the future of sustainable travel, tour operator Intrepid Travel proposed that “carbon passports” will soon become a reality if the tourism industry hopes to survive.
What is a carbon passport?
The idea of a carbon passport centers on each traveler being assigned a yearly carbon allowance that they cannot exceed. These allowances can then “ration” travel.
This concept may seem extreme. But the idea of personal carbon allowances is not new. A similar concept (called “personal carbon trading”) was discussed by UK Parliament in 2008, before being shut down because of to its perceived complexity and the possibility of public resistance.
The average annual carbon footprint for a person in the US is 16 tons – one of the highest rates in the world. In the UK this figure sits at 11.7 tons, still more than five times the figure recommended by the Paris Agreement to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
Globally, the average annual carbon footprint of a person is closer to 4 tons. But, to have the best chance of preventing temperature rise from overshooting 2 Celsius, the average global carbon footprint needs to drop to under two tons by 2050. This figure equates to around two roundtrip flights between London and New York.
Intrepid Travel’s report predicts that we will see carbon passports in action by 2040. However, several laws and restrictions have been put in place over the past year that suggest our travel habits may already be on the verge of change.
Targeting air travel
Between 2013 and 2018, the amount of CO₂ emitted by commercial aircraft worldwide increased by 32%. Improvements in fuel efficiency are slowly reducing per passenger emissions. But research from 2014 found that whatever the industry’s efforts to reduce its carbon emissions, they will be outweighed by the growth in air traffic.
For emission reductions to have any meaningful effect, ticket prices would have to rise by 1.4% each year, discouraging some people from flying. However, in reality, ticket prices have been falling.
Some European countries are beginning to take measures to reduce air travel. As of April 1, 2023, passengers on short-haul flights and older aircraft in Belgium have been subject to increased taxes to encourage alternative forms of travel.
Less than two months later, France banned short-haul domestic flights where the same trip can be made by train in two-and-a-half hours or less. Spain is expected to follow suit.
A similar scheme could also be on the horizon for Germany. In 2021, a YouGov poll found that 70% of Germans would support such measures to fight climate change if alternative transport routes like trains or ships were available.
Cruises and carbon
It’s not just air travel that’s being criticized. An investigation by the European Federation for Transport and Environment in 2023 found that cruise ships pump four times as many sulphuric gases (which are proven to cause acid rain and several respiratory conditions) into the atmosphere than all of Europe’s 291 million cars combined.
Statistics like these have forced European destinations to take action against the cruise industry. In July, Amsterdam’s council banned cruise ships from docking in the city center in a bid to reduce tourism and pollution – an initiative that has shown success elsewhere.
In 2019, Venice was the most polluted European port, due to large numbers of cruise ship visits. But it dropped to 41st place in 2022 after a ban on large cruise ships entering the city’s waters reduced air pollutants from ships in Venice by 80%.
Changing destinations
Intrepid Travel’s report also highlights that not only how we travel, but where we travel will soon be impacted by climate change. Boiling temperatures will probably diminish the allure of traditional beach destinations, prompting European tourists to search for cooler destinations such as Belgium, Slovenia and Poland for their summer holidays.
Several travel agencies reported seeing noticeable increases in holiday bookings to cooler European destinations like Scandinavia, Ireland and the UK during 2023’s peak summer travel months.
Whatever the solution may be, changes to our travel habits look inevitable. Destinations across the globe, from Barcelona to the Italian riveria and even Mount Everest are already calling for limits on tourist numbers as they struggle to cope with crowds and pollution.
Holidaymakers should prepare to change their travel habits now, before this change is forced upon them.

think of how all those empty tourist towns, with all their hotels, would make perfect 15 minute prisons. gotta give the cabal credit, they really planned this out.
I really don’t think they could be controlling the weather to get all those record-breaking heatwaves, boiling temperatures, and extreme weather conditions…… Hey look! Did you know anyone who wants to can have the perfect wedding day with perfect weather? Isn’t this just wonderful?!

Just throw a few seeds in those clouds!
It’s weird to hear carbon passports predicted “by 2040” - we seem to be going the wrong direction FAST and seems like the WEF intends to have everyone under their thumb well before then. And we know they want us to own nothing and be happy by 2030!🎉 (cue the happily smiling guy with the perfect teeth who probably made a few bucks smiling for a stock photo and had no clue he’d end up the WEF poster boy)
I definitely agree all the BS they’re promoting works together on some level but I say it is all planned and we’re dealing with the most clever liar and deceiver who weaves all the evil implementations together in the craftiest way possible. Satan knows what he’s doing to make it all fall like dominoes. He’s carefully thought through all his moves on the “chessboard of deception” as I’ve heard it called.
The most disturbing thing in here was the thought of a honey badger on a toy poodle!😳
If I saw that, that honey badger would be bigtime regretting his decision.
**SAVE THE TOY POODLES!!**😄
So you used to go to dinners, but not to Olive Garden I presume??🤔🤷🏻♀️😂
