“If alive today, F. A. Hayek would recognize and warn against the climate ‘road to serfdom.’ It is an evil that comes in steps, never in the whole. But the warning signs are increasing. It is time to expose and resist, politely but firmly.”
The climate crusade has no end point because it is futile. But the intellectual, political, media elite are not going to stop at failure. They will march on and on with the message that the public must sacrifice to save the earth.
Imagine a U.S. Department of Climate. Want to eat meat? Want to grill? Use a gas stove. Want to leave the lights on? No, these activities might be subject to the knock on the door in Authoritarian America. (All for the ‘common good’, of course.)
I was reminded of this upon reading a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson, “Australian Bank Begins Linking Customer Transactions to Carbon Footprint (October 13, 2022), with the subtitle. “Green social credit score scheme accelerates.”
In another foretaste of potential future ‘carbon allowance’ limits, a major bank in Australia has introduced a new feature that links purchases to a customer’s carbon footprint and warns them when they are going over the average.
Australia’s Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has partnered with Cogo, a “carbon management solutions” company, to launch the new feature, which is part of CBA’s online banking platform.
The bank gives the customer the option to “pay a fee” to offset their carbon footprint, with the average listed as 1,280 kilograms, a long way from the ‘sustainable’ figure of 200 kilograms.
A person’s carbon footprint is calculated and then an ‘equivalent’ metric is shown to make the customer feel guilty about it, such as “8 trees being cut”.
“By combining our rich customer data and CoGo’s industry-leading capability in measuring carbon outputs, we will be able to provide greater transparency for customers so that they can take actionable steps to reduce their environmental footprint,” CommBank Group executive Angus Sullivan said in a statement.
The bank has promised to refine the calculation down to showing how much CO2 individual purchases are responsible for.

Author Paul Joseph Watson then dissects what such a program really means:
While initially presented as a handy way for someone to track their consumption habits and the supposed impact they have on the environment, some fear that such schemes could one day become mandatory and place limits on purchases of customers who exceed their ‘carbon allowance.’
As we previously highlighted, allied with climate lockdowns, technocrats want to exploit hysteria over climate change to increase financial control over individuals.
Such a proposal was presented in the science journal Nature by four environmental “experts” as a means of reducing global carbon emissions.
Everyone would be issued with a ‘carbon allowance card’ “that would entail all adults receiving an equal tradable carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national [carbon] targets.”
The authors make it clear that the program would be a “national mandatory policy.”
Carbon units would be “deducted from the personal budget with every payment of transport fuel, home-heating fuels and electricity bills,” and anyone going over the limit would be forced to purchase additional units in the personal carbon market from those with excess to sell.”
Of course, the wealthy would be easily able to afford the offsets, and many of them are directly invested in the trading mechanisms that the scheme would be based on.
The proposal makes clear that the means of measuring a person’s uptake of carbon units for travel would function “on the basis of the tracking the user’s movement history.”
The authors note that mass compliance with COVID-19 lockdown regulations has greased the skids for further intrusive tyranny and that, “people may be more prepared to accept the tracking and limitations related to PCAs to achieve a safer climate” as a result.
If alive today, F. A. Hayek would recognize and warn against the climate ‘road to serfdom.’ It is an evil that comes in steps, never in the whole. But the warning signs are increasing. It is time to expose and resist, politely but firmly.
Why politely?
These people are trying to destroy our way of life and ability to make and accumulate wealth. They wish to make us peasants and serfs.
They view wealth as a zero sum game. They do not want anyone else to get some of theirs.
More important Tom, they want to preserve natural resources for their pleasure and use.
If you were a billionaire, you might suppose the world is your oyster but what would keep you up at night? How about the great unwashed nibbling at that oyster.
Therefore, they want to reduce the world population by half and create a Huxlian/Orwellian society were they control not just the resources but the underclass, in a 2 class world population, access to said resources.
They are in the process, right under our noses, of stripping the middle class of their wealth through the corporatocracy and putting them under thumb. Those who cannot see this are just not looking hard enough.
Agree…but why blame it on big bro when it’s big sister?
I blame all that toe the line.
Thanks for that comment – I always thought it was ‘ tow the line’. Wrong again (me that is!).
Jump School, Ft. Benning. First thing every morning stand for inspection on a gravel pad with painted cables stretched across the surface marking the line.
Every morning the sound of dog tags clinking on that gravel as those that had been gigged did their pushups.
We had weekends off. Monday starting the second week, Tower Week, a kid in the rank in front of me had a bandage on his shoulders. The black hats knew what it was and made him take it off to show what was under it.
It was a new tattoo that said “Airborne Ranger”. That kid wasn’t even through jump school yet and he would never finish.
Five minutes of Black hats running him through grass and guerilla drills screaming at the top of their lungs calling him and his family every name in the book and he quit.
It was all I could do to stand there at parade rest and not even smile as that happened because to show any emotion would mean I would be doing pushups and not be able to watch as that foolish kid got what was coming to him.
Now THAT is toeing the line.
I agree — far beyond politeness. A slap upside the head might get their attention.
politely won’t work
Any action by a bank that is not profitable for shareholders or depositors is actionable.
Not just an Australian bank. Search “RBC targets emissions intensity” to see what the total cheesedicks at Royal Bank of Canada have come up with. I’ve had an account there since I was 6 years old, now several investment accounts….I’ll be moving those elsewhere….
No bank like that would get my business.
That presumes a fair and objective court system.
When the courts side with the warmunists, you can forget about getting a fair hearing that adheres to the rule of law as we knew it.
Coeur de Lion
“Any action by a bank that is not profitable for shareholders or depositors is actionable.”
But if the Board says that – in time – the bank’s attention to the climate [‘wokeness’] will ingratiate it with the Government that regulates it, and then enables it to get in on the ground floor of investments [crony capitalism], then it becomes a matter of opinion.
Auto, pretty certain not to be using a woke bank, and I’ve ditched the blackmailing PayPalonker over their $2500 fine for even questioning transgenderism, or the Climate Emergency.
It’s got a simple solution. I would make it clear they had better not be tracking my purchases with this otherwise I would cancel all financial connections with this bank. If it costs the bank customers they will drop it.
sadly no … ESG means you are a secondary consideration … plus an increasing number of sane banking staff retire each year and are replaced at the bottom with newer indoctrinated true believers …. you are therefore increasingly viewed as an evil old man who cares not one jot for the planet and who wants customers like that … yuk
You’re assuming that if one bank does it that they all won’t
‘The bank gives the customer the option to “pay a fee” to offset their carbon footprint, …’
In a free market, such a bank would have an expected life of about a nanosecond before it imploded under the pressure of its customer withdrawals. But since this is a typical western bank backed up by a government controlled monopoly central bank it will stay ‘afloat’ until there is a change in the narrative or the economy collapses, whichever comes first.
And if you decline the “option” to pay the fee, then what?
There will be a fee for that.
Then you’ll be reduced to barter and the underground economy.
Also- where does the fee go to? The bank?
Beats me, presumably some type of renewable energy credit or other rat hole.
How does that work if you pay in cash at every opportunity?
They move to digital currencies.
yes reserve bank bimbo was trying to tout why the CBDC was going to be “so great” thing was she really couldnt manage it lots of umms errs and oh itd be great for biz transactions faster etc
well no it wouldnt and the other downfalls of banks dodgy didgy Efunds are lousy for the avg person great for them to raid n abuse
There is also barter….which has been going on for eons, even before currency came into use. Whatever popular goods that have been restricted or banned always show up in black markets. Think Prohibition, People still found ways of getting their booze and found places where they could enjoy it in the company of others above the law.
i speculate that at some point, even if one pays in cash, you will need to have your id scanned to complete the purchase. and then a rapid transition to a credit only system for all purchases.
ID can now be embedded in your hand, for convenience.
Most of our pets have this already embedded.
Most of our phones have this already: “near-field communication” / NFC.
A hallmark of the scientific method is that you specify what would happen, in an experiment, if your hypothesis is true. And then the prediction gets tested.
This is one of the principles the Bible uses. We call it “prophecy,” rather than “hypothetico-deductive reasoning.” Circa AD 70, John write this, with no idea what it might mean or how it might work, physiologically…
Rev ch 13: “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark.”
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.aay7162
“This technology contributes not only to user identification and payment methods…”
“Wireless power supply through inductive antennas has been presented using commercially available ultra-low power NFC chips that can transmit power and data wirelessly. Therefore, an e-tattoo with an integrated NFC chip and antenna enables wireless biometric identification without a battery.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7864326/
Hm.
I don’t carry ID, it is not compulsory in Scotland, or not yet anyway.
Anyway, the widowcleaners don’t have any way of scanning anything and neither does the guy who cleans the gutters every autumn, and they get cash in their hands. So does the garage when I buy diesel. So does the supermarket when we buy food. Etc., etc., etc..
So are they going to lock me up if I don’t play their games? Fine, 3 square a day, no heating bills, internet and TV all free, what isn’t to like?
Picking up the soap in the shower
It won’t be a lockup. It’ll be a “re-education” camp … with “showers” and the industrial crematorium.
My guess is you already have “smart meters” broadcasting your electrical and gas usage.
These “upgrades” were installed in my house in Colorado in the last few years without my consent. Xcel Energy installs these to “help you better understand how energy is being used, manage your bill to save money, and identify specific, measurable actions to make energy-saving improvements to your home or business.”
The tool allows them to chide us for abusing energy, like the quarterly e-mails I got saying “Your house uses more energy than all the other comparable houses in your area… see here how you can be more normal…) Last month an Xcel employ with a methane-detecting wand found a gas leak in our meter outside the house, which I guess explains our extravagant carbon footprint. They also recommend we cut back on our AC in summer. We don’t have AC.
I’m guessing that Xcel hocks this info to other interested parties, if it doesn’t now then it’s coming soon. Banks are downstream from these info sources.
Most of us are not on a total cash basis.
Home loan, credit cards, etc.
In Canada, they identified people in the Trucker Demonstrations, and froze their assets.
You only get to say what you want as long as the government approves.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/20/americas/canada-trucker-protest-covid-sunday
No, Bill, I don’t have any smart meters, someone comes to the house every 3 months, reads the gas and electricity meters and a few days later the Postman brings the bills which I then pay by a landline telephone banking phone call.
Well, keep yer eyes peeled. They creeps up on ya.
i hand someone 50$ bucks for fixing something neither of us kept a record no ID required
Vancity Credit Union in Vancouver, BC, will be rolling out a ‘carbon tracker’ feature for its Visa cardholders in the new year – on a voluntary basis, of course. What the linked news story (below) doesn’t mention is whether one’s choice to not use this feature also means they aren’t compiling a “carbon-consumption” dossier on its customers, which I assume they are. Here’s the related (very brief) story: https://www.todayinbc.com/trending-now/vancity-to-offer-carbon-footprint-tracker-for-its-visa-credit-cards/?utm_source=second-street&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BC+Provincial+news+_+October+19%2c+2022
To show balance, the banks will also notify you when you do not meet your minimum carbon footprint. Of course you will also be able to pay a fee for that.
Those people not meeting their minimum carbon footprint are Democrat voters, regardless of how they voted when they were alive.
And if Fat Boy Kim, of P’yeong Yan, banks with them, he will have a Uranium-linked card – so if he uses too many nukes, he’ll get a very gentle warning – he’s not and old white man, after all.
More than the present Resident of the United States of America looks likely to do, I suppose – even if he knows who Kim is . . . .
Auto
These types of schemes all finish up the same way that buying “carbon” offsets for airline tickets did.
Only government employee paid fliers used them.
That’s like UPS, which I rarely use, they have a box to click to “offset the carbon emissions of your shipment”. Well, I’ve never checked that box and I can’t imagine too many people have….
Luckily Fedex has none of that nonsense on their site when you prepare a shipment. And then there’s Etsy. When you use their labels there is a statement along the edge about “offsetting carbon emissions”. Well, when I use their labels, that part gets trimmed off and ends up in the “round file”!
“the public must sacrifice to save the earth.”
And when the public have left the stage the earth will be saved.
“Humans are intruders” – David Attenborough.
Presumably Attenborough believes in evolution. I wonder where he thinks humans (and extinct hominids, some of whom were our ancestors and some we hybridized with) came from?
We’re not intruders but we’re arrogant and need to clean up our living quarters. Nature will naturally correct and balance things, and we may well disappear as a species – it’s happened before…
Is there any reason to believe there is a real danger of self-extermination in the next few decades? How about the next few centuries.
I can imagine some unlikely scenarios for human extinction but none that have to do with climate change or the environment. In case you haven’t been paying attention, the world’s environmental record, in general, has been improving over the last several decades. Let’s not let the enviros screw that up in the name of stopping climate change.
Is there any reason to believe there is a real danger of self-extermination in the next few decades?
There’s at least one nutter out there who’s proclaiming humans will be extinct (due to climate change) within the next three years!
And there’s a frightening number of people actually believing him.
How have we messed up our living quarters?
All that is happening is matter is being shifted from one form to another, and then around again.
Carbon comes from here and goes there.
Arguably, the only way we really mess up the earth is to either:
upset the balance of how our planet protects us and allows life – magnetic field protecting us from cosmic rays, etc.
or we shift matter from one form to another, enhancing radioactivity, and that radioactivity keeps anything from living. Like Chernobyl, where there is nothing alive in that zone. Except for a lot of life forms.
Life is thriving in the area around Chernobyl About the only place where life can’t exist is inside the sarcophagus itself.
in aus we found rather happy little microbes living IN the rad waters cooling areas I gather
Nature doesn’t “correct things”.
Nature is inherently hostile to all current versions of all species.
Nature is always trying to test whether the current species are the winners in the perpetual “survival of the fittest” contest for control of planetary life-supporting resources.
H0mo sapiens sapiens has no choice in the survival stakes but to continue technological development, or face reversion to the harsh, high-mortality existence of just a few centuries ago.
Anne seems to have caught a serious case of the Gaia.
We are indeed not intruders. We have evolved, and are still evolving. We have evolved to use more of nature’s provisions than other species, so for example we use more of the underground provisions than other species. Yes, we do need to keep an eye on the total amount available, but it only has to last for a limited time (a few billion years till the sun goes out, less the final few ?billion years of Earth being uninhabitable). There will no doubt be some wobbles along the way, but overall there appears to be no chance of us actually running out of stuff. Yes we will run out of some things, or at least run short, but other things can be found to replace them and virtually everything except energy can be recycled. Nuclear fusion for energy in a thousand years’ time, for example.
I recommend reading some Matt Ridley, eg. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/04/27/ridley-on-the-claims-of-exhausting-global-resources/
“We have evolved, and are still evolving.”
But the likes of Schwab , WEF, UN etc, want us to devolve. !
You can see the methodology best in the progression from self-selection of ESG investment choices to forced conditions from top-down dictates. The same forcing can be applied to other activities like taking public transit, production of only approved food types, and electricity supply constraints with lowered reliability. You can cling to your old cars like they do in Havana, but they will get you or your children in the end from either the supply side or the tax and subsidy side for behavioral change. The more cunning progressives know to stay on course with gradual policy moves except when special opportunities arise (Obama/Joe) to lurch ahead a few steps.
There are other social forces at work, that will act in parallel with the evolving Climate enforcement system. First, if you live in one of the western democracies, your history will be rewritten and played back to you endlessly so that your place in the world will become a source of deep-seated guilt about your nation’s role in colonial exploitation. Second, you will no longer be certain of your gender identity. And if you have any doubts about what you are constantly being told, the Thought Police will be round to set you right. All these social changes are now acting in plain sight, most especially in the UK.
By making you insecure and uncertain of who you are, what your place in society is, and where you came from, coupled with your fear of speaking out about your doubts, your will to resist any restrictions on your life in the name of Climate will have long disappeared.
And just in case this multi-pronged attack on our society doesn’t work as planned, the puppet-masters behind our so-called leaders have a couple of treats in reserve in case they need to stage a total coup in a hurry. One is the nuclear war option; and the other is the next pandemic where a carefully engineered virus with near-total lethality will just happen to “escape”.
I can hardly believe that I’m writing this. Should I be looking for a tinfoil hat?
How far back can we go when attributing guilt?
Surely the Roman, Ghengis Khan and many other tyrants in history have much to feel guilty about when judged by modern standards.
Recently there was an academic exercise to investigate whether Alexander the Great was guilty of war crimes. Apparently the jury found him innocent.
https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/event/a-moot-trial-of-alexander-the-great-war-hero-or-war-criminal/#:~:text=In%20330%20BCE%2C%20Alexander%20the%20Great%E2%80%99s%20Macedonian%20Army,violation%20of%20the%20laws%20and%20customs%20of%20war.
Only white Europeans are to be judged by the most woke of modern standards.
Judging non-Europeans, by any standard, is racist.
You mean like this one with fairly easy instructions on how to do it for the Putin and Xi biolabs? It could also be done by NK and Iran if they need a new means of projecting power.
Control, control, money, money – always the bottom line.
We must resist; don’t give anyone more information about yourself than you have to, even then question it’s necessity. We must resist a digital currency system – cash is king. Mobile smart phones are getting more and more sly, tracking your every movement – as one of the pre-digital generation, I’ve resisted one of those too. Even supermarket tills have cameras on them – I stand to one side so it can’t record me – a total imposition in the name of ‘security’. And then you discover the technology they are using was bought from China!
I trust the powers that be will have their carbon budgets made public.
The people attending the WEF, Davos and G7 would be a good start, then those attending COP27.
Express their CO2 emissions as area of forest destroyed to make it more intelligible.
They should then declare the source of any offsets they use.
We could then move on to those sanctimonious people who run private jets while telling us plebs that we must cut our CO2 footprint.
I doubt this will ever happen, but the thought is a nice idea.
I second the motion StephenP. These wealthy Netzero zealots need to have their hypocrisy put on full display. Its easy enough to out them just with the simplest of internet searches( look up their mansions online) We need a full on well funded and targeted publicity campaign shaming these people; the MSM media reporters and commentators too ,and of course the liberal democrat politicians. They are all really one and the same.
If we don’t get organized, funded and fight fire with fire, then change will only take place after our society collapses.
I think the wealthy are only too ready to buy offsets for their lifestyles. They are a small price to be able to virtue signal, while continuing their private jet flights with clear consciences. They would like nothing more than a carbon tax or mandates for emissions offsets that inhibit the poor and middle class from enjoying some of the pleasures of life. For the good of the world, of course.
And of course the allowance would be gradually decreased until you die, peasant!
This proposal is clearly the real life embodiment of all that George Orwell predicted in “1984”. Anyone in a democracy who uses their vote to elect someone who thinks this way is throwing their freedom and quality of life down the drain for no benefit. The entire scheme is based on a premise that rising CO2 in the atmosphere is entirely due to human activity and entirely bad. The truth is we don’t know how much of the rise is from human industry though it may be most, but we do know there are no observed negative effects in the climate or elsewhere, only imagined evils in computer models. While CO2 has been rising plants and any other photosynthetic organisms are thriving which means more life in the biosphere. Humans have experienced almost universal improvements in health, wealth, independence, freedom, education and longevity during and due to the rising industrial use of fossil fuels. There is no climate crisis, only a very serious crisis of critical thinking and common sense.
Big Clima-Change™ Brother is Watching You — the CAGW issue has become such a parody of itself, it should just market the craze under a registered trademark and charge fees for the use of its name.
What about those ‘Smart’ meters being thrust upon us, here in the UK. Currently it is voluntary, based on the lie that it will save you money; but assuredly, as you say, will become mandatory.
These enable your supplier (or a hacker, come to that) to switch off various of your electrical items at will at any time of the day; with the objective to “Manage the Demand”. Well that is the current Official position; but inevitably it will be used to control you should you fall out of favour or fail to follow the Party Line.🤯
This would only work if you also organise FFS which is ‘Fossil Fuel Starvation’. Otherwise people would just generate their own electricity. Thus we have NZE or ‘Net Zero Emissions’ which is about as insane as one can get.
There is no end to the lying tricks that the Leftwing/Marxist contingent gets up to. You only have to listen to the outpourings from COP27 to reach that conclusion.
(I personally get nasty connotations from this ‘NZE’, similar to the word ‘Denier’.)
Yep.
I got a letter from my electricity supplier saying that my old meter should be replaced because, being old ( 23 years ), it is dangerous. I called the number to be told that the new one would be a smart one. I said I didn’t want a smart one and they said that was the only option. I asked if all newbuilds had to have smart meters fitted and was told “yes”.
I asked a builder friend and he said “Rubbish, and there is nothing wrong with your meter, it will outlast the house”.
And the guy who comes every 3 months to read the meter says he won’t have a smart meter in his house under any circumstance. (Well I suppose he would say that ‘cos they put him out of a job.)
A smart meter has been installed on our house without asking us (it may have been in the small print on the back of a bill one month). However, we have no “smart” appliances, so that isn’t going to work out too well.
With smart meters, your home can have its power turned off remotely at a click of a mouse. No muss, no fuss, no having to send out real people to do the job physically.
yes BUT they still CHARGE 180 to 200 to reconnect disconnect when its a flick of a keyboard not a physical service
amazing profits all round to THEM
yup all the workers/ readers fired they save heaps on wages and vehicles etc and yet? the cost of non existent service supply went ballistic.
trials on safety were done in Vic on JUST 12 homes 10 brick and one wood one corrugated for emissions.
I reckon the flogged the reliable old meters to the 3rd world for extra bucks as well.
and theyve now forced the same crap on gas and water meters here too
If the banks didn’t believe there was a demand for this (or more correctly, a profit for this), it wouldn’t be on the table. In this case, the demand comes not so much from customers but primarily from politicians and regulators. Surely some customers may want this, but consumer demand is probably less than imagined.
they dont belive a demand at all, theyre hoping they can profit in some devious means
In some perverse way perhaps these personalized and invasive measures will be part of the undoing. As the average consumer starts to realize that a lower quality of life is the goal by design, for almost no impact on temperature/weather, the absurdity of it all might become apparent. A bit of a high-stakes game of chicken, but perhaps the best strategy is to encourage these test markets to go as far and as fast as they can, so people do not become the proverbial boiling frog.
What test markets? These great ideas are rolled out without even alpha testing.
The second half of the article is a literal repeat of the first half.
I’ve also seen that a few other times, Jeff. There must be a secret ‘stutter’ button that gets hit now and then.

Interestingly (well, to me it is) I did a scan of buy/sell recommendations for Australian banks, and none recommended buying Commonwealth Bank shares (CBA). This I think is very unusual indeed, since the recommendations are usually pretty loaded to the buy side. All the other banks I looked at are overall buy recommendations.
The numbers (Strong Sell – Moderate Sell – Hold – Moderate Buy – Strong buy) today are:
CBA 5 1 11 0 0
ANZ 1 1 7 2 5
NAB 0 0 7 2 7
WBC 3 1 2 2 6
MQB 1 1 3 1 6
BEN 2 0 6 2 5
I don’t know the reason for this.
PS. The numbers are from CBA’s Commsec website (you have to join to see it).
So long as everyone has the carbon allowance of Al Gore or one of the climate glitterati..
What’s the problem.
It would take me several years to use as much “carbon” as they do in a week !
Yup. The carbon footprint floor should be set at Al Gore’s or maybe John Kerry’s usage.
Oh, and you can’t own a home with more than the combined total square footage of Gore and Kerry’s homes… or the square footage of Connecticut, whichever is smaller.
I could probably live with those restrictions, or at least give it a good go.
We need to put an end to this nonsense now.
LOL. I have four bank accounts, six credit cards (not counting store charge cards), and two debit cards. Tracking my carbon footprint purchases will be very challenging, and, frankly, I don’t see much competence anywhere these days. I have a bigger fear that one day there will be a critical infrastructure failure and no one will be around who still knows how to fix it.
