Biden 'Close' to Declaring 'Climate Emergency' to Ration Gas, Electricity, Meat - Slay News
Joe Biden is "close" to signing an executive order to declare a "climate emergency," granting the Democrat president sweeping new powers to enforce lockdowns and other tyrannical measures in order to "save the planet" from "global warming," a public policy...
My first reaction was to label this fake news. I don't know the website, and the article is based on someone's opinion. Here is the "think tank" it quotes.
But to be fair it's not merely opinion. It does appear that lot of things are coming together for this purpose. The question is will "climate emergency" actually mean they'll attempt any of those supposed unconstitutional acts, or does it just mean some extra FEMA allocation in the federal budget.
I'm wondering if they're going to use this for more election shenanigans in 2024.
Yeah, this isn't the best looking source...but the actual idea has clearly been in the works since Covid lockdowns; it was obvious they wanted to do a climate lockdown spinoff series.
This is basically just saying 'that thing you think we're headed toward...we also think we're headed toward that thing." It's not exactly useless, since it is an extremely important issue, but it's not particularly useful either.
What do you think are some realistic ways people could stand up to this if push does come to shove?
insert "fedposting"
Just be ready to participate in the preference cascade - and hope that you didn’t jump the gun.
If/when it happens people will be too busy trying to survive to do anything. Even getting enough food will be difficult, especially protein.
Better have easy access to hunting/fishing.
The more productive hunting will be for something you don't intend to eat.
THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
Things that would get us domed like that Utah boomer
Sorry to steal top comment but just in case some of you want these I have a collection of old manuals I found with pretty m7ch everything you could need.

So this paired with Google's new censorship "tool", collusion between big tech and government, and all of the dystopian shit that has occurred thusfar really marks the schizos as the uncontested winners of the guessing game, doesn't it?
It's really beginning to look like we VILL be eating ze bugs.
10 years worth of, "boy it sure would be a great if people ate bugs instead of meat!" articles coupled with the wealthiest, best connected, and most powerful people in the world having conventions talking about how we need to eat bugs.
Normal person: "Yeah, I don't want to eat the bugs."
Media: "Right-wing, racist, anti Semitic, homophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, sexist, reactionary conspiracy theorist!"
All Red states you heard him! Since you are apparently needing to ration gas, electricity and meat and you produce most of that, cut off supply to blue areas and call it rationing...
What do you guys think?
Would they actually be able to pull this off?
Will normies actually buy this nonsense, or do you think we're at a point where people and governments will call this out for the fear-mongering that it is and refuse to enable such a blatant power grab?
Feel free to sound off!
Big utilities and processing plants will play along. Both industries are centralized out the ass, and the guys at the top tend to be in the club.
With the amount of people noticing the illegal immigrant issue, I'm not sure. Rationing while sharing with squatter trash the central government allowed in? Yeah, that'll devolve pretty fast.
Really this smells like Civil War 2.0 fodder. Far-Lefties and perhaps their milder folk don't care though, they already view the position of President as dictator.
People will absolutely play along with it. They're too stupid to figure it out.
A third of Democrats were comfortable enough with the idea of the government kidnapping people's kids if they didn't get the Covid vaccine that they were willing to say so to an anonymous pollster. That's a lot of potential order followers.
Mechanically/technically, how do you limit the amount of meat/gas/whatever that someone buys?
Politically what happens when old people die of heat strike?
I don't see it being feasible even if desired.
Central bank digital currency. Your "money" becomes glorified coupons that the government can turn off at any time.
Nothing, just like COVID patients being stuffed into nursing homes.
You lack imagination.
Agree on central bank digital currency being an effective way, but implementation of that cannot happen quickly.
I think they have to get that piece done before the rest is possible.
Maybe if they did some sort of "optional lockdown" I could see.
You can look into how rationing has worked in the past.
Did people cheat? A shitload.
They did it anyways. It's probably not a good idea, but they did it anyways.
just raise the prices of meat and require ID to purchase it. Then of course it's trivially easy with a CBDC.
The government only has a few ways to raise prices: Taxes Destruction of supply
Neither of these can be implemented quickly.
taxes can be implemented very quickly.
Well, locking everything down worked for them a few years ago, why wouldn't it work now?
Two schools of thought:
“We have clear evidence that people are sheep who will do whatever we tell them to do as long as we couch it in progressive terms, so we are free to begin the global reset immediately.”
“We expended a tremendous amount of political and cultural capital in order to steal the election and unring the Trump bell, so we need to tread lightly for a while or risk triggering a catastrophic resistance.”
I’m sure there are bugmen on both sides.
Unring the bell? You can't actually stop a populist movement, only make it angrier and more dangerous.
How long until they mandate GMO tick bites to make people allergic to red meat?
If they could've figured out a way to make it random and time-delayed, they would've snuck that protein in with the Covid jabs.
There is a 0% chance that gas, electricity and meat will be rationed in the US.
Not even the tyrannical governments in Europe are doing that.
But they keep salivating over the idea of it, and Europe has history of ration of these things during war, they just need a good enough excuse.
They salivate whenever someone gives them an excuse to put their boot on the people's necks.
Britain had rations even after World War II. Still, for something like this to be imposed ex abrupto would not be acceptable even to Europeans, who are the most docile lot in the world, let alone by Americans.
True forcing it all at once will be hard pressed, but with a good enough excuse they could ease it onto the population similar to value-added tax.
The US has a history of rationing things during war.
And let's not forget the 70s oil crisis.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created in response to the oil crisis. It was intended to give domestic producers enough time to ramp up production and prevent price spikes had the Saudis decide to embargo the US again.
Currently, Biden's draining it to zero, just to get a good headline CPI and to hurt Russian oil exports. Meanwhile, domestic producers are getting crushed by inflating costs and OPEC is pissed at the blatant price manipulation.
We've come full circle.
They only need a crisis, whether real or manufactured.
Meat is quite a ways off, but I can see them doing gas and/or electricity in the not too distant future. I agree it's not an immediate thing, but I do think it's probably in the works.
Meat would probably be easier, just look at the lengths the USDA was going to earlier this year to exterminate chickens because of a no symptoms "avian flu". "Oh, half of the cows in the country just tested positive for the Omega Upsilon variant, gotta put them down..."
They couldnt even enforce mask mandates and Covid lockdowns in most of the country. And that was at least something with a modicum of support.
If they try something like this, that all but the most Lefty of Left Winger is going to be openly hostile toward, they probably wont even be able to pull it off in the usual places.
A easy emergency action would be to ban private jets and inefficient air travel. Just ban anything that uses more than x carbon per passenger per mile. The FAA is under admin control. I guess that would piss off the wrong people.
Yup. Wealthy fuckers could just use phones / teleconferencing.
Do it already you flaccid prick. The sooner you start making the normies hurt, the sooner they will start to rebel against this globalist bullshit.
What was the last three years then?
Not enough. Clearly people are still too comfortable to finally get off their asses and rebel.
and you think more of the same will produce a different outcome this time around why exactly?
10,000 politicians touring the wreck of the Titanic.
They'd have to grow some Federal tentacles to enforce it.
