I live in Oxford, the original 15 minute city. Most people here know something is wrong.

That's good to hear, but is something being done about it in terms of concrete actions?

The ruling billionaires are implementing the technocratic slave city on a much more intense and lethal scale against palestinian refugees in Gaza. See https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/cmcc-leaked-documents-gaza-residential-zone-surveillance-checkpoints-rafah a prototype for a completely surveilled biometrically-monitored technocratic city is forced on the palestinian refugees in Gaza by trump’s Orwellian “board of peace”. Digital ID will be needed to move around. Cash is banned in this zionist-controlled slave colony. The 24/7 monitored residents of the technocratic city (literally imprisoned inmates) will be provided with electronic wallets monitored by the israeli military

As Max Igan so often stated: As the way of Palestine, will be the way of the world.

I hate to say it, but by the time you "know something's wrong" it's already too late....it's up to people to keep aware of subtle changes in their communities. They aren't going to "all of a sudden" implement their FMC right out in the open within weeks...it's a slow burn, which is the most deadly kind of take over (and the most successful for them).

I write about exactly this subject in Bristol here: https://keepbristolmoving.substack.com/

This is what happened here in March last year - it was gobsmacking: https://keepbristolmoving.substack.com/p/council-wages-war-against-east-bristol

This was my attempt to wake people up to what you write about here, Iain: https://keepbristolmoving.substack.com/p/calling-a-spade-a-spade

And this is the first of three pieces I've written recently on ANPR smart surveillance: https://keepbristolmoving.substack.com/p/every-move-you-make-ill-be-watching

Oh, and our Transport Committee chair's bloodline: https://keepbristolmoving.substack.com/p/the-curious-tale-of-two-plowdens

Most local people affected in East and South Bristol get that something is very wrong, that the 'consultations' are a sham, and that the schemes not only make no sense and are discriminatory but pit people against one another in these so-called 'liveable' neighbourhoods. But they massively struggle to understand that this is not just Green loonies, or a city council gone rogue. Many think the local 'mayoral combined authority' (WECA) hasn't understood how out of order the city council is and it is just a case of explaining it to Helen Godwin, Mayor of WECA (are we supposed to subconsciously link her with Godwin Earl of Wessex?) and she will withdraw funding and scrap the schemes. (This was her predecessor: https://keepbristolmoving.substack.com/p/the-arrest-of-dan-norris)

But the 'active travel' religion is enshrined in all local transport plans, in language that simply regurgitates central government documents - Tory, Labour, Green, Lib Dem, whatever. Some look to Reform to save them... People can't seem to come to grips with the fact that politicians lie as a default setting.

Your piece is great, Iain. We will be able to give it to anyone here who still doubts what is going on and naively believes the council wants to make our lives happier, healthier and safer. Though I believe those most vocally in support of the schemes are mostly actors and people working on behalf of the agendas themselves.

PS I've cross-posted your piece on my Substack.

The dependence o technology I abhor. I would like to dispense with it totally as it is the tool of 'their' entrainment techniques and our enslavement along with the destruction of the Earth. I am older now and try to reduce my use of it by asking for paper billing from utilities, writing to them and asking for acknowledgement. I have left Substack, and now Youtube demands I sign in to comment or like. Digital frees the corporations from any accountability. I want to talk to human beings and look in their eyes and feel their biofield when I deal with them. Is it too late to refuse having the phone and computer as central to our existence? Solutions on a postcard please.

The Transhumanists fear of death and Nature's cyclical rhythms has resulted in this insanity. Their hubris surely has outrun its course.

Simon Gruffydd Foster's avatar

You took the words out of my mouth :) The solution to to this technocratic nightmare of behavioural control, is to take a step back, if not shun all digital technology all together. As more and more of us do just that, their nefarious plans will collapse like a house of cards built on shifting sands.

a 15-minute city is what They burned down Lahaina Hawaii for, and Paradise Cali, and Chile, and many many other locations already and far more yet to come. Jesu of Vati in Rome exist to "counter" largely Prote Amerikka per their slogon ITE INFLAMMATE OMNIA - go, set the world on fire. Maybe They mean literally... see dewish.org and wildphyres.com ...also ERCI777 youtuber research showed Jesu control board of directors Raytheon, maker of beam energy weapons...no doubt a CoinciDUNCE Totalle! DARKNESS IS FALLING site has more, deeper, broader, older (note its protocol is plain http not https)

When Western powers and Net Zero advocates begin abiding by international law and start arresting themselves for committing genocide, then I might consider listening to what they have to say.

True. Our governments are illegitimate and illegal now. They have no authority.

a 15-Minute city is designed to concentrate humanity into smaller areas. This is exactly why farmers build fences; To contain their animals.

The control these psychopaths are after includes slaughtering humans by the thousands at one time. (They penned the ostriches before they killed them.)

Depopulation and control is the name of the game.

Always remember Lahaina where people were slaughtered from space. People that survived the fires were not allowed to leave the kill zone. How many children are still missing?

We must do everything in our power to prevent 15-minute cities from coming to America (North, Central & South).

When your loved ones have to go into state-funded care and local authorities want them moved miles from the nearest family member, making it difficult or costly to visit, try mentioning 15-minute cities. It’s amazing how these councils all of a sudden have never heard of them.

Arturo's avatar

What a scary dystopian future they have planned for the useless eaters? So grateful that I live deep in the countryside, far away from the regime’s totalitarian tentacles.

The origin of the 15-Minute Smart City goes back to The Wildlands Project.

The Smart City Project is implementation of The Wildlands Project, which is implementation of UN Agenda 21/2030!

Thank-you Ian. In the terrifying dystopia that you pinpoint with clarity, at least it's good to know we aren't alone.
