Stephen Andrew statement on the tyranny of the elites

It should be evident to everyone by now that environmentalism, the Great Reset and the Green Movement, are almost exclusively the political plaything of the world’s rich, powerful and inter-connected elites.
A pampered class of people whose own lives remain steeped in obscene levels of luxury, consumption and excess, but whose favourite pastime is berating and lecturing the rest of humanity for their evil, evil ways. With no sense of irony or shame, these billionaires prance about at various international shindigs, posing as the great moral crusaders and saviours of our time. “Like James Bond”, Boris Johnson said yesterday, revealing just how puerile their thinking truly is.
It was Prince Charles, however, who showed once and for all, just how dangerously out of control these megalomaniacs are becoming. The Prince huffed and puffed to his fellow globalists about the urgent need to “create an environment” where global governance receives the tools and money it needs, to “TAKE THE ACTION REQUIRED”. We need to take, a ‘warlike’ approach the British Blueblood said, in order to ‘assist’ those nations who may be unable, or unwilling, to ‘get with the Great Reset program’.
It is, he said, “the only real prospect” we have, “of achieving FUNDAMENTAL ECONOMIC TRANSITION” across the globe. Anyone else seeing the nexus here between Covid, Climate Change and the ‘Great Reset’? If not, you must be fast asleep, terminally brainwashed, or both.
All this talk of global “transformations”, “resets” and “transitions” is not only very real, it is IMMANENT.
I don’t know about you – but I never signed up to any top-down revolution where a bunch of billionaire elites, and their technocratic minions, get to decide what’s best for humanity.
It’s not Covid, climate change or over-population, that frightens me – it is these morally insane plutocrats, and their relentless desire to drive humanity forward into some future Bio-state dystopia – at the point of a gun, if necessary.
We can’t say we weren’t warned. C.S. Lewis, tried nearly a century ago, when he wrote:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some points be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. … To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on the level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

Stephen Andrew statement on IMO 2020 and the Great Shipping Reset

In California, there are now a record-breaking 65 cargo ships anchored off the state’s two biggest ports, awaiting entry. Many have been there for weeks. Similar scenes are being played out at key ports around the world as the global supply chain slowly disintegrates. What is going on?
The most popular explanations given, include covid-restrictions, crew-change problems and a worldwide shortage of containers. Then there are the driver shortages, hurricanes, industrial disputes, port inefficiencies, price-gouging and an ‘online spending frenzy’ – take your pick.
What is never mentioned, however, is IMO 2020, the UN’s new ‘climate change’ regulation, which took effect on 1 January 2020. IMO 2020 was a new regulatory system intended to lay the groundwork for a ‘phase in’ of carbon taxing ships by 2023, and the transition to ‘net zero shipping’ by 2050.
The new regulation banned ships from using the old, cheap ‘bunker fuel’ and forced them to either use much more expensive fuels or install space-wasting ‘scrubber’ technology on their ships. Both options came with huge operational costs for carriers.
IMO 2020 also imposed more onerous port inspection and reporting obligations, which many feared would lead to congestion, delays and blank sailings.
According to Maersk, 60% of a carrier’s costs are FUEL.
Any transition away from cheap fuel, therefore, was always going to cause shipping costs to skyrocket, and then ripple its way down the supply chain. It is odd, therefore, that not a single shipping expert even refers to IMO 2020 when discussing the current crisis. I mean it was ALL anyone in the industry could talk about in 2019!
“IMO 2020 WILL BE THE LARGEST, MOST DISRUPTIVE REGULATION, TO IMPACT GLOBAL SHIPPING IN MODERN HISTORY” one analyst said.
Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, estimated that the total impact of IMO 2020 to “consumer wallets could be around $US240 billion”. Others warned that ships would start “slow steaming” to offset fuel costs, especially on longer routes – IN FACT THE WORLD’S CLIMATE CHANGE ZEALOTS SAID THEY WERE COUNTING ON IT.
But something else happened in January 2020, that served to completely mask the impacts of IMO 2020 –Covid-19. Once oil prices and cargo flows started to recover, however, suddenly we were seeing sky-high freight rates, port congestion and shipping delays. Everything, in fact, that the experts had predicted would happen once IMO 2020 took effect. And yet, weirdly, all that is now forgotten.
Are they worried that if they mention it, people might get the ‘crazy’ idea that maybe -just maybe – it wasn’t Covid, hurricanes or lost containers that crippled the global shipping industry, but rather the world’s governing elites themselves?
