In a “10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use” – a long-held objective of the globalists is to get rid of cheap, plentiful fossil fuels altogether – the International Energy Agency (IEA) wants to return Americans to the bad old days of reduced highway speeds and increasing filthy mass transit in order to deal with the current (and temporary) spikes in oil prices. As oil has risen (as part of “Bidenlflation”) so, too, have gas prices, leading the IEA to put forth a plan that is essentially a climate lockdown, which includes banning the use of private vehicles in cities on Sundays. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/patriotic_statements/freedom-liberty/news.php?q=1647712547 3-19-22 'Governments have all the necessary tools at their disposal' As gasoline prices rise to record levels, the International Energy Agency is calling for energy lockdowns, such as banning the use of private cars in cities on Sundays. Other measures proposed in the agency's "A 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use" include reducing speed limits, working from home, cutting business air travel and imposing an SUV "tax," reports Climate Depot, the website run by former Capitol Hill staffer Marc Morano. "Governments have all the necessary tools at their disposal to put oil demand into decline in the coming years, which would support efforts to both strengthen energy security and achieve vital climate goals," the report states. Among the proposals: "Reducing highway speed limits by about 6 miles per hour; more working from home; street changes to encourage walking and cycling; car-free Sundays in cities and restrictions on other days; cutting transit fares; policies that encourage more carpooling; cutting business air travel."

Four hundred years ago, the Pilgrims left everything that was familiar. They left behind all but their most prized possessions and risked their lives "for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith." Many of them never lived to see the next spring, but for those who did, they ushered in the birth of a fledgling nation striving toward the ideals of freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom of speech, and independence from an oppressive king.

One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.” — Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527) The Prince (1513) Introduction In 1939 the American director Frank Capra released Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a film that was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winning for Best Original Story and turned James Stewart into a major star. Stewart plays Junior Senator Jefferson Smith in Washington who launches into a a filibuster talking non-stop for 25 hours and reaffirms American ideals of freedom. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/patriotic_statements/freedom-liberty/news.php?q=1589979416 3-19-20   There’s a passage in Teddy Roosevelt’s famous 1910 “Citizenship in a Republic” speech I want to share with you today: If a man’s efficiency is not guided and regulated by a moral sense, then the more efficient he is the worse he is, the more dangerous to the body politic. Courage, intellect, all the masterful qualities, serve but to make a man more evil if they are merely used for that man’s own advancement, with brutal indifference to the rights of others. It speaks ill for the community if the community worships those qualities and treats their possessors as heroes regardless of whether the qualities are used rightly or wrongly. It makes no difference as to the precise way in which this sinister efficiency is shown. It makes no difference whether such a man’s force and ability betray themselves in a career of money-maker or politician, soldier or orator, journalist or popular leader. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/patriotic_statements/freedom-liberty/news.php?q=1586620551 4-10-20It’s now clear that the authoritarians are gleeful about the coronavirus lockdowns, and as much as those lockdowns worked to break the exponential cycle of viral replication, we now have the knowledge to end them in a sensible way that protects public health. Yet there seems to be no desire to end them. One of my growing concerns in all this is that Democrat-run cities and states are quite frankly enjoying the tyrannical rule that allows “authorities” to arrest anyone for jogging, bicycling, sunning alone on the beach or engaging in isolated activities that present no risk whatsoever to anyone else. The Democrat-led lockdowns are also devastating the US economy, playing right into the hands of left-wing politicos who want to see Trump defeated as Americans suffer the fallout of economic collapse. That’s why ending the lockdowns in a sensible way must now become the rallying cry for all Americans.
