Green Energy Failure of U.N. Agenda 2030

What would your life be like without electricity? Imagine your existence today as if you lived in the Middle Ages. Is that a far-fetched idea or a conspiracy theory?

We don’t have to look very far for this “conspiracy theory.” Leaving the tin foil hat aside, the reality is more painful than we could ever imagine.

Europe is fast on its way to total green energy thanks to the EU and U.N. controllers and promoters who inscribed into all sorts of laws the so-called net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Some of the United Nation’s goals are demanding enforcement by 2030.  

Nobody questions these already partly implemented U.N. goals in all western societies. But the Trump administration dared to reject United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the American people would benefit greatly in the short and long terms.

Edward Heartney, a minister-counselor at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, called the 2030 agenda “a program of soft global governance that is inconsistent with U.S. sovereignty and adverse to the rights and interests of Americans.” The Latest: Trump Administration Rejects the UN’s 2030 Sustainability Goals

This rejection is wonderful news for the United States but the next president, most certainly a Democrat, “elected” in four years, will reverse this decision.

The other problem is the fact that since 1992, hundreds and thousands of laws have been passed at the local, state, and federal levels in support of and immediate implementation of U.N. Agenda 21, now turned U.N. Agenda 2030. How are we going to reverse those?

 

Alex Newman wrote in 2016 that “the United Nations and its mostly autocratic member regimes have big plans for your life, your children, your country, and your world.” And you were never polled and never voted for these plans, including the coercive climate agreements signed.

The master plan for the planet was celebrated at the time by former NATO chief Javier Solana, a socialist, as the next “Great Leap Forward,” a rebirth of the campaign slogan of the Chinese Communist Party. This master plan includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 specific targets “to be foisted on all humanity.”

 “As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind,” reads the UN manifesto, entitled Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. “But if you love liberty, self-government, free markets, or the U.S. Constitution, you will almost certainly be wishing that the U.N. would leave you behind,” wrote Alex Newman.

The global warming theory, blaming humans for the ills of the planet, and the birth of the profitable climate change industry, which the U.N. unleashed on the world has given rise to another industry, that of green energy production at all costs because natural gas and petroleum are bad. Except that there is nothing green about this green energy.

Another industry emerged from U.N. Agenda 2030, the capturing of carbon underground, which in itself causes a huge threat to animal and human life as different accidents in Mississippi of ruptured pipes have demonstrated.

And we did not have to wait very long for this green energy to fail on a large scale. Climate Depot’s Marc Morano congratulated Spain on April 16, 2025, for using 100% renewable/green energy. Two weeks later Spain and Portugal were hit with huge blackouts. “They reached net zero accidentally.” https://www.climatedepot.com/2025/04/28/congrats-to-spain-nation-goes-100-renewable-as-of-april-16th-2025-but-then-mass-blackouts-hit-spain-portugal/

What were the immediate results of such green energy failures and blackouts? Airports shut down, homes, businesses, and hospitals were without power for long periods of time. People could not buy essentials, food, medicines, and gas; air conditioning did not work, refrigeration of any kind  was not possible, food and medicine spoiled in grocery stores, pharmacies, and hospitals did not have enough power from generators, oxygen delivery machines did not work, credit cards did not work (so much for cash going away, replaced by digital currency); computers did not work and bitcoin Internet and phone users were out of luck; drugs could not be purchased and hospital patients were left in a lurch if generators could not keep up with the lengthy power loss due to grid collapse. Generators can only provide so much power. Production in small and large businesses came to a halt.

Officials from Red Electrica ruled out the possibility of a cyber-attack or weather as reasons for the grid failure. The key culprit for the blackout appears to be green energy. “Green energy, unlike gas and coal, does not provide synchronous inertia that stabilizes the frequency in the network. When the frequency dropped, solar power plants could not compensate for the imbalance. They depend on inverters that turn off automatically when the frequency deviates from the norm, thus aggravating the grid collapse.”

Bailout, Bailins, and the Greeks' Trojan Horse

Istanbul Archeological Museum Trojan Horse (Wikipedia)
While Americans are eagerly signing petitions to ban the American flag on the heels of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam leader call to ban the Stars and Stripes “due to its links to racism” or are busily banning anything attached in any way to the Confederate flag and our history, the United States and the world are in serious financial trouble driven by out-of-control debt, particularly the most visible nation of all, Greece.

Healthcare for illegals, gay marriage, and other non-stop crises occupy the American overwhelmed minds, while the Trojan Horse of huge national debt and loss of sovereignty to the globalist Transpacific Partnership (TPP) mystery “committee” are ignored.

Greece is bringing to the forefront the issue of debt, what happens when it spends 60 percent of GDP, lives from borrowed billions, and refuses to curtail spending on entitlements, expecting more bailouts from the EU, essentially Germany.

Banks and the stock exchange are closed for the week, issuing a 60 euros limit per withdrawal. Not unexpectedly the euro fell against the dollar and the British pound. Sky News reported Prime Minister Tsipras as blaming the European partners and the European Central Bank for the debacle because creditors “have refused a request to extend Greece’s international bailout beyond Tuesday, until after the referendum.” The move risks a Greek default on 1.5 billion euros payment to the International Monetary Fund.

Tsipras claims that the bank deposits of the Greek people are fully secure and the payments of wages and pensions are guaranteed. I am not so sure that is the case since Greece is carrying a government debt load of over 175 percent of its GDP.  Countries cannot service such level of debt without printing money. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/government-debt-to-gdp

The European Central Bank will maintain its “emergency cash lifeline to Greece’s banks” without an increase. The Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) on which Greek banks depend, if lowered, may force the country out of the Eurozone.

There were many economists, of course, who questioned the wisdom of accepting Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain into the EU because their monetary policies were plagued by high inflation. Others believe that a return to the drachma may not be such a bad idea.

Expecting the worse after banks announced closings, Greeks stood in long lines to withdraw cash from ATMs and many horded gasoline and food. After five years of various bailouts, demonstrations, protests, refusals to adopt more austerity measures, negotiations between the leftist government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Brussels creditors have broken down. For months economists have predicted Greece’s pull out from the Eurozone.

In preparation for the national referendum on July 5, police patrols are more visible especially around ATMs. Tsipras asked voters for a “yes” or “no” vote on the bailout proposal considered by his government as confiscatory. The plan would “raise taxes and hurt pensioners,” forcing Greeks to “an endless cycle of austerity.” But the Greeks have been told few details of the deal – nobody really knows the implications of a “yes” vote or a “no” vote and everyone fears they “would become Venezuela.”

But the well-off Greeks, fearing the election of the leftist Syriza, have already moved money out of Greece or took cash out and stored it elsewhere.

The Tsipras government favors a “no” response to the referendum because the bailouts terms are “humiliating” and would deepen Greece’s economic recession. But without bailouts, “most Greek banks would have totally collapsed by now.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/article-3141480/Hundreds-queue-outside-banks-fears-Grexit-grow-ahead-MPs-vote-bailout-referendum.html

It has been reported that withdrawals of 500-600 million euros have emptied more than 2,000 ATMs.  When the austerity referendum was announced, people started withdrawing money. When the Greek banks reopen, would they need bail-ins like the Cypriot banks? Would the depositors be forced to accept worthless I.O.U.s for their cash?

The European Union has required its member countries to enact bail-in legislation. Bail-ins force creditors and shareholders to rescue troubled banks. Cyprus citizens holding private bank accounts had to take “haircuts,” a form of wealth confiscation. Private pension funds were raided in Poland. http://www.dcclothesline.com/2013/09/25/cyprus-style-wealth-confiscation-is-now-starting-to-happen-all-over-the-globe/

Bailouts forced taxpayers to financially rescue big banks that had engaged in risky financial activity, using the infamous “too big to fail” excuse.

How much longer can Germany sustain the very shaky European Union? Should they bring back their own currency, the Deutsche Mark? As more large deposits and capital leave Greece when banks reopen, corporate asset controls may emerge. The Greek market may be shocked and defaults of various debt instruments may emerge.

A Romanian friend, Florina, explained the Greek crisis in terms that most people can understand. “I loaned money to a family in a time of financial crisis so that they can survive, and the family did not curtail their spending, they blew the money on unnecessary stuff; now the family is holding a meeting to vote if they are going to pay me back or not. That’s Greece now.”
