I vividly remember the responses the team at the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper received at the very start of the pandemic in 2020. This was a time before the numerous alternative media sites began to pop up everywhere. In Canada, the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper team were the only ones brave enough to question what we were seeing in the world. It wasn’t easy: we lost friends, we lost supporters, and we lost businesses that advertise with us, all because we refused to follow the narrative that was being propagated to the masses.
Governments and corporate media were calling this time “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated” and the indoctrinated masses were still thinking facemasks, social distancing, and the inoculation would keep them healthy.
I get it. I have been researching and writing about our current world atrocities for over two years now, and I still have a hard time getting most of my relatives and friends to understand what’s really happening. The difference between this year and last year is that there’s a clear awakening happening amongst those who couldn’t be reached before. It is the rise of the “conspiracy curious” individuals who at one time embraced the common narrative, and now are beginning to question what they believe.
Why? Well because many of the so-called conspiracy theories that we shared have become factual theories. We have learned that we shouldn’t blindly trust anyone in power, whether it’s: the government managing the people, doctors managing healthcare, corporations managing our money, or journalists managing the truth. We know that our freedoms are under attack on multiple fronts and the separation between those who embrace liberty, and those who do not has never been more crystal clear.
What a lot of media houses have been focused on is what has happened in 2022, but what we want to do in this edition is focus on what to expect in the future. Many of us believe that because things seem back to normal that everything is okay. What we want to report today is that everything is not okay. The pandemic was just the beginning, and the global elite has a lot more in store for us.
At the helm of the new agenda is climate change. All of a sudden, there is this public enthusiasm over environmentalism. It started with a group of “experts” and interest groups promoting the “climate crisis,” which was followed by the alarmed discovery of the problem by the news media and broader political class. Then there was this euphoric enthusiasm with the likes of Greta Thunberg being pushed to the forefront conceiving the issue in terms of global salvation and redemption.
Despite the relentless media and activist drumbeat and millions of dollars in paid advertising, public concern for climate change has waned over the last several years, so our governments decided that it is time to step it up. Time to look at what they have planned for us with their proposed Agenda 2030.
Flights are being abolished
The French government has decided to abolish flights between cities that can be reached for less than 2.5 hours by train, as an attempt to decrease the carbon emissions in the country, which is a joint goal for all European Unions.
The new act of the legislature is part of the country’s 2021 Climate Law and was initiated by France’s Citizens’ Convention on Climate, a citizens’ assembly determined to find an alternative to carbon emissions in the country.
New changes are approved also for the use of private jets for short journeys, which are also banned as the country is working to make transport greener and fair for the population.
15-Minute Cities
In early December, the County of Oxfordshire, in England, voted to begin intensely filtering traffic in certain parts of Oxford between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. This is slated to begin sometime in 2023, upon completion of some existing transportation projects.
I first spoke about climate lockdowns in an article titled, “No Driving on Sundays? The International Energy Agency is calling for new Lockdowns.” I wrote this article in 2021, and shared information about suggestions to restrict private cars’ use of roads in large cities to those with even number-plates some weekdays and to those with odd-numbered plates on other weekdays.

In another article titled, “Unfortunately, there are no Vaccines for Climate Change.” Preparation for Permanent climate lockdowns,” I exposed the measures proposed by the World Economic Forum to: enforce climate lockdowns; encourage less private car ownership, and less meat by 2030. Unfortunately, these plans are slowly and quietly being executed worldwide
In Oxford, people will still be allowed to walk, bike, or take public transportation wherever they want. Vehicle usage will be monitored with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, the same technology that has been around for more than 20 years to collect money remotely on toll roads. The ANPR cameras will also enable the county to issue permits to private drivers to make a limited number of trips within the city within the restricted time frame.
This new urban planning model was devised in 2016 by Carlos Moreno and popularized by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. They are called 15-Minute Cities. It is the vision of urban places in which residents can access their daily needs and essential services within a 15-minute trip by foot or bike. The concept relies on mixed-use development that puts: commercial services, transportation, recreational facilities, and other urban amenities within a short trip that does not require using a personal vehicle.
This means that strict rules will be placed on car journeys. This green agenda is taking inspiration from the COVID-19 lockdowns. Residents will have to register their cars with the council, and they will be tracked to count their journeys through the key gateways. It is a type of social credit score that is focused on whether you abide by the rules provided
A trial of the 15-Minute City will begin in Oxfordshire County in 2024. Residents will be confined into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming and will need permission to leave their zone. Cars will be monitored and electronic gates on key roads in and out of the city are planned.
The parties who benefit from the plan include Oxford University, the bus companies, and the council, which expects to make £1.1m from fining errant drivers.
Agenda 2030
The Heads of State, Government and High Representatives, met at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from September 25th – 27th, 2015.
According to the United Nations Agenda 2030 is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. The said goal is to eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan.
The goals and targets came into effect on January 1st, 2016 and will guide the decisions taken over the next fifteen years. They state clearly that all government leaders will work to implement the Agenda within their own countries and at the regional and global levels.
They acknowledge the importance for international financial institutions to be in line with their mandates, and the essential role of national parliaments through their enactment of legislation and adoption of budgets. They expect governments and public institutions to work closely on implementation with: regional and local authorities, sub-regional institutions, international institutions, academia, philanthropic organizations, volunteer groups and others.
It is important to note that Agenda 2030 was written in 2015, well before COVID-19. However, the UN has a COVID-19 Response for the Sustainable Development Goals and is pushing Agenda 2030 in the wake of the pandemic, which may explain why you are hearing about it more often now. Included in this agenda is a push for global vaccination, a strategy known as Immunization Agenda 2030.
Immunization Agenda 2030
IA2030 is an ambitious global strategy to maximize the lifesaving impact of vaccines that, if fully implemented, will save 50 million lives over the next decade. I am going to manage my emotions at this point and keep my opinion to myself, but really! Save 50 million lives? What about the millions of lives that have been destroyed because of the vaccines?
According to the WHO, vaccines are critical to the prevention and control of many communicable diseases, which is an essential part of global health security. In some countries, progress in immunization has stalled, or even reversed (for good reason), and that risks undermining their past immunization achievements.
The Targets
Targets to be achieved by 2030 include:
- Achieving 90% coverage for essential vaccines given in childhood and adolescence
- Halving the number of children completely missing out on vaccines
- Completing 500 national or subnational introductions of new or under-utilized vaccines – such as those for COVID-19, rotavirus, or human papillomavirus (HPV)
They want to ensure that immunization is valued and sought by all people, and that all countries have a reliable supply of high-quality, affordable vaccines, and sustainable financing for immunization programmes. They also want to ensure that innovations to increase the reach and impact of immunization programmes are rapidly made available to all countries and communities.
The language used in Agenda 2030 has some worried it is presenting a “New World Order.” This is because it uses all-encompassing language, such as “for all” and emphasizes the need for a global partnership.
The team at the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper was called to start spreading the truth; with what we have witnessed over the last few years, this call was necessary. We need to make as many people aware as possible because we desperately need allies in this fight.
The war is not over it has just begun!
