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.”

Catalonia and Its Referendum on Independence from Spain

Catalonia, satellite image of snowfall
March 8, 2010

Catalonia is located on the eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula and has a population of 7.52 million people. Catalonia has a distinct history, culture, and language. Its main city, Barcelona, was captured in 1714 by the first Bourbon king of Spain, Felipe V, and Catalonia lost its autonomy. Catalonia’s national day, September 11, commemorates this event.

The regional Government of Catalonia decided that a referendum would take place on Catalan independence on October 1, 2017. But the Constitutional Court of Spain declared on September 6, 2017 that the referendum and its invocation violated the Constitution.

Spain is divided in 17 autonomous communities with government delegates who must follow the same Constitution and legislation. However, Catalonia has tried for a long time to become independent. A few Catalonian politicians believe that they have something important to gain if they separate from Spain. After all Catalonia contributes the lion’s share of taxes to poorer regions. Catalonia provides one fifth of Spain’s industrial output.

Few citizens actually voted to break away in the legal referendum which took place five years ago on the issue of separation from Spain. Most ordinary Spanish citizens do not seem to be at all interested in separation. The average Spanish citizen sees the conflict in Catalonia in their own light.

But the current president of Catalonia, in an unconstitutional move, decided to organize a new referendum on the issue of independence from Spain.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his government made a mistake in dealing with Catalonia and addressed the conflict by calling in the national police and the civilian guards which he sent to Catalonia to “establish law and order” and to prevent Catalonians from voting.

Naturally Catalonians were outraged by the police presence and overt force and decided to vote even though many were not initially convinced that it was a good idea or even useful to separate Catalonia from Spain. It was reported that 2.225 million Catalonians voted on Sunday out of a total 5.5 million citizens registered to vote.

The conflict escalated when the Spanish police prevented Catalonians from entering the improvised voting centers while the Catalan police (Mossos d’Esquadra) protected the voters.

Additionally, the Internet was cut in voting centers and the voting population could not be cross-checked and verified; anyone could vote as long as they wrote down their names and an I.D. number. In the ensuing chaos, people who were not residents of Catalonia got to vote and some voted five times.

Catalonia is a more industrialized part of Spain, however, in the event of separation of Catalonia from Spain, business owners threatened to move to other areas. If Catalonia becomes an independent state, it is no longer part of the European Union; it must mint its own currency, have a monetary policy, and force Spanish citizens to travel with a passport in their own country.

The problem for Spain is that the rail road and interstate which connects it to Europe runs through the Mediterranean coast, through Catalonia. In the northern part of Spain, in order to cross into France through the Pyrenees Mountains, people use a narrow highway that crosses through Andorra.

Some Spanish believe that the Catalonian president acted unconstitutionally and forced the central government to take radical and unpopular measures which allowed Catalonians to claim that their democratic right of self-determination was violated.

The public opinion is greatly divided and many Catalonian families are separated along political lines; family members in the same house do not speak to each other because they have different political and economic views on the matter.

Most argue that an independent Catalonia would not benefit either side; it is simply a manipulation of the masses by a few elites with personal agendas.

For several years now, schools have been teaching the Catalan language while the Spanish language classes have been reduced. In public administration, nobody is hired unless they speak Catalan - same situation for professors or doctors. Some Spanish believe that English would be more beneficial since Spain has a huge tourist industry.

Violence was not the answer, many Spanish citizens claim, but it was necessary for the central government to re-establish law and order. Voting in a referendum that has been declared illegal by the central government in Madrid and by the courts was also a bad idea.

 

 

The Sea of Plastic of Almeria

Almeria in southern Spain, with its 55,000 greenhouses, occupying an area of 150,000 square miles, grows vegetables and feeds most of Europe. The entire area is visible from space, looking like a desert covered in rectangular patches of snow.
Called the sea of plastic of Almeria, the plastic roof covers reflect the sunlight back into space, causing the outside temperatures in the area to drop by ONE degree.
The global warming "consensus scientists" think of this as a possibility to save the planet from global warming Armageddon.
And such a scientific headache, like any other expensive idea the global warming alarmists have cooked up, should cost us trillions.

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.”

 

 

Spending and Demographics

House Speaker John Boehner criticized President Obama’s “failed policies and hostility toward job creators.” The current administration established a “new normal” for Americans: fewer jobs, higher unemployment, more spending, higher prices, and bigger deficits. The White House official blog calls this status quo the “Great Recession.”

To say that the economy is anemic is an understatement – GDP is 1.9 percent, only 69,000 jobs were “created” in the month of May and unemployment is at 8.2 percent. Unemployment figures are constantly revised, massaged, and misrepresented. No wonder, citizens no longer trust their government, they fear it.

Congress, who controls the purse strings, has done little to curtail the out of control government spending and waste on bankrupted “green energy” that electrifies nothing except campaign sound bites and the die-hard environmentalist left. 

Last week President Obama signed the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, raising its lending authority by 40 percent to $140 billion. The Export-Import Bank guarantees loans from U.S. banks to foreign businesses that buy U.S. made products.  Conservatives in Congress criticized the move and “assailed it for meddling in the free market.”

Legislators did not raise the most obvious question before approving the $140 billion giveaway. Why do we give loans to foreign corporations to buy American products? Do we have money to subsidize corporations, foreign or domestic? Why has Obama the Senator called the Import-Export Bank “little more than a fund for corporate welfare” during the 2008 campaign and promised to eliminate it, yet has reauthorized 40 percent more taxpayer dollars?

For the past three and a half years, the manipulated and constantly revised (a week or month later) unemployment rate has been above 8 percent. The real number is far worse, in the 11-14 percent range. Although the left maligned President George Bush on a daily basis, under his presidency full employment was always in the 4.5-5 percent unemployment range.

A sustained doubling of the unemployment rate is devastating to those who have lost jobs and for our economy. However, if you ask Spain, Greece, Italy, France, or Portugal, they would gladly trade places with us. Their full employment is an unemployment rate of ten percent and higher. This happens because their national priorities are stacked in favor of outrageous social programs and unionized labor, while the population becomes more slothful and happy to live on government handouts.

United States spends 14.8 percent of GDP on welfare programs and has not reached the welfare expenditures level of European socialist countries. France spends 28.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on welfare, Spain 21 percent, Greece 24.3 percent, Italy 24.4 percent, and Portugal 21.1 percent. There are European nations that spend more on welfare, such as Denmark (29.2 percent), Sweden (28.9 percent), Germany (27.4), and Belgium (27.2) but the economic situation in these countries is substantially different. (Statistical data source: NationMaster.com as quoted in Forbes)

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is vilified for her efforts to impose austerity measures on countries whose economies necessitate bailouts from the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Greece rejected the idea through vigorous and violent demonstrations, while 47 Greek parliamentarians walked out of meetings upon hearing about the type of austerity measures they would have to approve. France rejected austerity by electing a socialist president who promised more socialism, more spending, and more bureaucratic job creation. President Francois Hollande reneged on the austerity agreements his predecessor, Sarkozy, had cobbled with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Critics point out that Germany’s five percent unemployment rate makes it unfair and socially unjust for Angela Merkel to impose drastic welfare and pension benefits cuts in Greece, Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal when their respective unemployment rates are so much higher. In Spain, the overall unemployment has reached 25 percent, while 50 percent of young people, including recent college graduates, cannot find jobs and must leave Spain to seek employment.

Joel Kotkin describes them most vividly. “In Madrid you see them on the streets, jobless, aimless, often bearing college degrees but working as cabbies, baristas, street performers, or – most often – not at all. Call them the screwed generation, the victims of expansive welfare states and the massive structural debt charged by their parents.” (The Daily Beast, June 4, 2012)

A young man with a psychology degree, who is working in the grocery store where I shop, was complaining one day that he could not find a job. A quintessential liberal with the agenda of environmental sustainability, social justice and equity, the mantra of the left, it has not occurred to him that the “hope and change” he voted for, his overt distaste for capitalism, love for communism and the murderous Che Guevara whose t-shirt he is wearing under his uniform, is what is dooming his prospects of finding a decent job. He bought his college advisor’s empty promise of a six-figure salary upon graduation, his professors’ socialist/Marxist indoctrination, and is now facing Realville.

European demonstrators argue vociferously and increasingly violent that austerity and budget cuts are the primary reasons for their national economic crises. They believe that the largesse of the government welfare system spending has nothing to do with the government running out of money. As former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had said, “the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

Taxing the rich in France at the proposed 75 percent rate will not solve their financial difficulties for long; it will simply prolong the inevitable. Even confiscating everyone’s wealth will only pay the debt and cover the deficit for a few months at best.

Lavish spending is unsustainable when the economy grows too slowly and the population is not having enough babies. There are insufficient wage earners who pay taxes to support retirees who derive benefits and pensions from those taxes.

Demographically speaking, the population replacement value in the U.S. is still within normal range of 2.1 newborns per woman if we count the illegal aliens’ newborns. Without illegal alien births, the U.S. population replacement value is 1.9. Many European Union nations have even lower population replacement values, below 1.4 newborns per female.

According to Joel Kotkin, wealthier countries in the north such as Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, “have offset very low fertility rates and domestic demand by attracting migrants from other countries, notably from eastern and southern Europe, and building highly productive export oriented economies.” (Forbes, May 31, 2012)

Unemployment among young people in Greece and Spain has reached the fifty percent mark. Many have left Spain for employment opportunities elsewhere. Young people have postponed having babies, preferring instead to buy homes, vacations, and luxury goods. The birth rate in Spain dropped to the lowest level of 1.4 from the previous four children per woman fifty years ago.

Joel Kotkin argues that a Nordic welfare state is sustainable because “companies and the labor force are productive and highly skilled,” while Spain, Greece, Italy, and Portugal derives most income and revenue from tourism. By 2021, every working person in Spain will support six students and retirees. (Source: National Institute for Statistics as quoted in Forbes)

Implementing national policies that promote affordable housing for families, reduced taxation for married couples, and higher birth rates instead of abortions, should be a priority for countries with a penchant for lavish spending.

Since Roe V. Wade, millions of babies in the U.S. have been aborted. It is a human tragedy with economic ramifications that will affect our labor force and the future of our country. We can afford right now to import cheap labor from Central America or outsource it to China. Would that be enough in the future to support the ever-burgeoning welfare class in this country? What will happen when we reach the tipping point of no return of the European style demographic decline?
