"I think I will raise this with the BBC Verify team. I'm sure they will be eager to "fact check" it for me."

You might want to keep this statement for all future articles. It made me laugh 😃

Don't think you're lazy Iain but definitely quality plagiarising.

"When it comes to demographics, something that we saw very clearly was that there is a high correlation between a level of education and belief in the climate emergency. The more educated you are, the more likely you are to believe that there is a climate emergency," said Cassie Flynn.

This extract from the BBC article about the poll tells us so much.

Any psychological technique they can exploit to push their agenda, they will use.

Correct...Can't imagine all the data harvested over the last three years. With all the Software and algorithms now used to measure, analyze and calculate there's no ability to determine what tactics are next. The only true way to predict evil is to look inside to find the animal all humans are and remove all boundaries defining right and know THAT is what they have done, are doing and will do...Just a question of when.

The #ClimateCon is nothing but a veil to cover another redistribution of wealth it’s like the covid emperors clothes story all over again. The problem is that it’s become cult like and it’s going to be very difficult to raise the scales from peoples eyes…

Yep, and the state and its MSM toadies, the so called behavioural change experts and the pet psychologists, willing to sell their souls to secure their funding and self aggrandising "status" withing the Establishment, have done everything they can to create a cult like mentality. Look at that dullard Gary Lineker FFS!

The Biden administration is sending hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of anti-extremism grants to a British think tank that is under congressional scrutiny for pressuring social media companies to censor conservatives.

The London-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue that has called on social media companies to censor conservative commentators such as Ben Shapiro for "misgendering" transgender people will now help the State Department and Defense Department track extremism and disinformation.

The State Department gave a $249,993 grant to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in April, while the Pentagon awarded $80,000 to it last month, according to a federal spending database. The grants, which have not been previously reported, were given to the institute to convene an anti-extremism workshop for the U.S. embassy in Germany, and to study extremism in the military as part of an Air Force research project.

It’s the latest example of the Biden administration aligning with groups that have pressured social media companies to regulate views it deems to be extremist or disinformation. Republicans, who assert that anti-disinformation groups disproportionately target conservatives, last month called on the State Department to turn over all documents related to funding for several organizations, including the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

The UN Is Developing International Censorship Standards

The United Nations (U.N.) is working on a worldwide code of conduct that calls on governments and online platforms to crack down on what it calls “disinformation” and “hate speech,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced on Monday.

Guterres delivered remarks on a policy brief containing proposals that the U.N. plans to use for the Code of Conduct for Information Integrity on Digital Platforms that it is currently developing. He said the U.N. hopes governments, online platforms and additional stakeholders will voluntarily adopt the “set of principles,” including a crackdown on so-called disinformation and hate speech.

I appreciate the detail and of course therein lies the devil! But he is also in the big picture and I am becoming aware of gatekeepers who lead us up paths and round and round in circles.

Who are they? We each have to decide for ourselves who we trust but anyone who is as well connected and cross promoted as Whitney Webb needs to be regarded suspiciously, I would have thought. Obviously the information in itself can show us a piece of the jigsaw but some say for instance that she was slow to mention things like the connection between the Rothschilds, Putin, Netanyahu/Israel, Iran, Xi Jing Ping and The Belt and Road.

Who are they?

Anyone who endorses UN-WEF Agenda 21/2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and anyone who is actively participating in instigating “The Great Collapse of Society” by advocating the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory, by implementing the Social Justice Warrior’s dictates of Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, and by destroying Capitalism through implementation of the Green New Deal which is predicated on the Globalist’s Global Warming Hoax and Overpopulation Hoax.

Who are they?

Anyone trying to prevent Donald J. Trump from becoming the 47th President.

Sure. I agree with much of that ( not sure about the Trump bit as he seems to work for them) but I was actually referring to those at the top of the pyramid. The centre of the onion when you have peeled back all those layers that you refer to.

Trump is the Anti-Globalist.

Trump is not owned and controlled by the RINO Establishment, which is why they are doing everything that they can to destroy him, whether legal or not, to prevent him from becoming the next 47th President.

The Future Begins with Trump's Agenda 47!

“The mobilization of a majority of the citizens as a conscious force engaged in direct deliberation of the policymaking of the nation, of discovering which policies are in fact currently in the interest of the nation and its posterity,” was the challenge given to republican organizations by Lyndon LaRouche in 1979. (Creating a Republican Labor Party)

This page is devoted to that task.

Donald Trump has provided the basis for beginning that “direct deliberation of the policymaking of the nation” with the promulgation of a series of policies which he calls Agenda 47.

Agenda 47 includes proposals to undo the economic and strategic damage of the global elite and it includes bold and visionary ideas like building ten brand-new “Freedom Cities.” Implicit in these proposals is an understanding that prosperity comes from increasing the productive powers of our population, as understood by Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, and advanced by Lyndon LaRouche.
