The Central Europe News here reports on how the WEF wants to reduce the global car fleet by 75% while WEF members crank up their private jet flights.
What follows are some excerpts.

Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for a reduction of private motor vehicles to a quarter of the current level. Of course, no reduction in private jets is envisaged.
Last month, the World Economic Forum (WEF) published a new paper dedicated to the future of mobility on earth.
The document would not be worth paying much attention to if it were not hidden in the small print what concrete goals the WEF is striving for. It points out, for example, that by 2050 more than two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities. To achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement, the report therefore recommends “electrification, public transport and shared mobility”.
75% fewer cars in just a single generation
On page 4 of the document, the WEF’s demand here reads in figures: “Reduce the vehicle fleet from potentially 2.1 billion to 0.5 billion.” That would be a radical regression within less than 30 years.
How such an extremely rapid change in societal transport systems and habitual individual mobility and consumption patterns can be implemented currently remains unclear to the public. Those “elites” who themselves thus fly around in private jets now want to take away your car and want to eliminate more than three quarters of motor vehicles from the roads within the next 27 years.
The WEF globalists’ briefing paper shows that they are obviously aware that they will not be able to cope with the expected traffic volume by 2050 with electrification. Where would the resources for the batteries come from and how do you want to produce so much electricity, even from “green” sources? There must therefore be a complete overhaul of private, individual mobility along with ’15-minute cities’.
15-minute ghettos
So a transhumanist “brave new world” without real freedom of movement and travel for ordinary people seems to be the future perspective.

All those lumpenproletariat peons need is a sturdy pair of sandals, to carry Schwab’s sedan chair.
that image would be a fine one to make with AI- it should also show sedan chairs for John Kerry, Mickey Mann, and the other climate emergency honchos
Take away the peons power to travel and the peons might revolt and eliminate the private jets in kind
Sadly not when those peons have been disarmed and starved, with no transportation and their funds confiscated from their bank accounts.
This has nothing to do with saving the earth, it has everything to do with saving the banks by destroying the middle class… the western financial system cannot continue in its current broken form if it allows ‘industrial growth’ and labor. BRICS is the future. https://youtu.be/IquO_TcMZIQ?t=218
I keep asking about the vans and lorries upon which our livelihoods depend. Tell me they are to be decarbondioxidated and I might hurt myself laughing. If not what the hell’s the point of EVs
The plan is NOT to take them away, but make them so expensive and inconvenient to own and operate that….
Yep. That became obvious when a key component of the batteries turned out to be far scarcer and less sustainable than the fossil fuels they were to replace. As to “by 2050 more than two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities” – that’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: if you take away the means to travel any distance, what choice will there be except to live in cities. These idiots, whether by accident or design, are trying their hardest to screw things up for everybody.
It’s worse than that – people will always move to cities, but instead of going to new, modern clean cities built near where new resources or factories are, they’ll be moving to the existing overcrowded and polluted cities that the WEF pretends to hate.
Will be vertical slums ala Judge Dredd
The world needs more than intermittent electricity from wind and solar.
Wind and solar only generate intermittent electricity from unreliable breezes and sunshine, but manufacture nothing for the eight billion on this planet.
Ridding the world of oil, without a replacement in mind, would be immoral and evil, as extreme shortages of the products now manufactured from fossil fuels will result in billions of fatalities from diseases, malnutrition, and weather-related deaths, and could be the greatest threat to the world’s population.
The reduction of the world’s population is the real goal. I discovered doing research for a paper I did in 1995 that the goal is an 86% reduction in the world’s population-to a ‘sustainable’ 200 million.
And here’s the proof in a spreadsheet showing where the cull takes place
China would be all in for that provided they were 200,000,000 chinese
Seems to me that the US Constitution (and the equivalent in many more countries) needs an amendment to the effect that: ‘Freedom of movement using owner-operated vehicles is a basic right which cannot be curtailed’.
When people are restricted to walking or public transport their liberties are severely restricted, not to mention their freedom to assemble.
“liberties are severely restricted”
That depends. During the pandemic BLM protests were given a free run. Protests against lock down got a very harsh response from the boys in blue. No knees taken.
the boys in blue ought to show more concern for the commoners than the elites
I once read of an East Anglia farmer, who never ventured more than seven miles from home. For the elites establishment, even that is too far.
I once worked with an East Anglian part-time chicken farmer / part-time dive superintendant who, unless he was going to the port of Gt. Yarmouth or to Norwich Airport on offshore business, never went more than 5 miles from his house. He would buy a “banger” for a few pounds and run it until something broke, and then throw it away and buy another one.
I wonder what he would make of the current proposals.
We already have it. The constitution defines the powers the people give up to the government. If it isn’t in the constitution, the government can’t do it. Unfortunately nobody takes their oath of office seriously so they violate the constitution with nearly every vote they take.
The bill of rights is redundant but the founding father put then in there to remind the government of their duties to the people. The founding fathers were belt and suspenders.
The U.S. Bill of Rights restricts what the government can do. The government can make no law restricting the right of the people to …
“the future of mobility”
Never in the field of human mobility was so much owed by so few to so many’, as the great man might have said.
I look up to the skies above London and there are always contrails criss-crossing them – evidence surely of a great many valiant climate warriors on urgent missions to fight the climate crisis… Then again it could be any one of a number of celebs on their way to pick up a climate award or a trophy for virtues signalled.
The elite establishment crave the day, when they see the proletariat living a 15th century lifestyle, whilst they live a 21st century. “You will be poor, have nothing and they will be ecstatically happy.
This is a new and unimproved version of the comment “let them eat cake”. I hope it produces the same result. Just saying.
I agree- there shall be a day of reckoning.
The radical Viennese coffee house debates have taken wing. Look out below.

According to the pseudoscientist from WEF Yuval Noah Harari AI can write a new bibel in a couple of years … fair enough, but it is basically already written (1791) by the father of utilitarianism Jeremy Bentham: “Panopticon, or The Inspection House”.
Put digital in front of panopticon, digital-panopticon, and then you have the bibel of AI.
It is easy here on the ground to see, that You´ll will own nothing and be happy is based on the “C” word: CBDC.
CBDC = Digital-Panopticon … fly to the moon in your private-jets.
A panopticon is by the way a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control. Does this “digit” sounds familiar!!
The concept is to allow all “prisoners” – us – of an institution to be observed by a single security guard without the inmates knowing whether they are being watched.
Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all inmates cells at once, read a lot of computers/AI, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched motivates them to act as though they are all being watched at all times. They are effectivelly compelled to self-regulation.
Prince Charles say´s put some face masks on the cows, I´ll say, put some face mask on them who “salute” the one world government and their dreams of the digital-panopticon. Just saying.
He’s duh King now…he can buy a Rolls Royce Spectre…an EV for $413k….and drive …like a King…..not a peasant.
Self-proclaimed experts keep coming up with this one. It’s not just car-sharing between two neighbours who are going ot he same place (e.g. the school run). It means people sacrificing their own vehicle to, instead, borrow one from a kind of car library when they need such a journey.
It makes no consideration of how people use their cars. Or feel about their cars.
Cars aren’t just a versatile tool for transport. They are a prized possession with which people feel a very personal connection.
Consider spare rooms for a similar example. Not everyone has them but many homes have a spare bedroom for the guests to stay in when visiting.
Logically these rooms should be rented out to lodgers as most of the time they are economically under utilised.
But homeowners don’t do that. They would rather have their home be their own, not a communal resource.
If people are possesive about a space that they rarely go into in their house, how much more attached must they be to that mobile room that they spend several hours in, every week?
Financial incentives or disincentives will not get people to leave their cars. Only impracticality (living in a gridlocked city with good punlic transport) or coercion (banning fuel) will do that.
I often wonder where these advocates live. Have they ever left the city? Do they know other people live?
Of course, these advocates don’t know and don’t care. As to where they live, it matters not as they do not intend to live by the policies they advocate.
What we need is a population smart enough to vote out all the crooks who are trying to force this baloney on us.
We don’t vote for them, we vote for the people who appoint them
Why do you think schools now spread mental illness and racism as opposed to teaching critical thinking and logic?
Wot cost of living crisis? What interest rate crunch? What impending ULEZ…..

Any serious “push” by the members of the WEF calling for improvement of grid infrastructures in each nation to support the massive electrical demand created by switching from ICE cars to EVs?
No, I can’t find it anywhere. Hence, this is a classic case of “putting the cart before the horse” . . . or, more simply, WEF members just being sophomoric horses’ asses.
Eff off Schwab.
And FJB for good measure.
Removing 75% of woke politicians would have a far more beneficial effect.
Again right out of Agenda 21 playbook. People need to read all of Agenda 21 (or whatever it’s called now). It’s a manifesto for world denomination under One World Government (UN, of course!). It tells how to deal with reluctant nations and bring them to compliance with threats, withholding essentials, and intimidation. ESG is an example. I couldn’t find anything in Agenda 21 that addresses the elite class and what will become of them and their lifestyle. Read it and understand what’s between the lines …. subjugation and doing without for “the good of humanity”.
Could be nothing less appealing to me than being stuck in a large concrete jungle with marginal infrastructure- and power failure on a really hot or really cold week or two.
The new best meme: 15 Minute Ghetto
Better learn to code or clean jets.
I’m against any government mandates to restrict combustion engines but this is not as discriminatory and exclusive as it’s portrayed. Electric cars are a thing. Electric planes are not. It’s just not realistic to electrify planes because of the weight of the batteries.
Electric cars are a useless thing. A worse-than-useless thing.
A car that doesn’t go very far and then takes a long time to “refuel” has little practicality or utility, and accomplishes nothing but the squandering of resources.
I can’t believe the insanity of the WEF – it’s worried about population growth in developing/non-‘Western’ countries – bunch of racist Nazi’s the WEF is – but trying to apply ‘solutions’ for those countries situations to Western countries that are only growing, barely if at all, due to immigration – so giving a toxic medicine to a non-diseased patient.
The ‘patient’ with the disease – isn’t really sick of anything – except of racist eco-bully interference in their plans to secure their population’s health and prosperity.
The WEF will work out just like the Nazis party worked out for Germany, except the WEF is trying to infect the whole world at once.
In 1950, there were approximately 2.5 million passenger cars and light vans in the UK. In 1980, the number was 15 million – 6 times increase in 30 years – and in 2010 it was 30 million. Very rapid change in “societal transport systems and habitual individual mobility”. So it’s very possible in theory. Of course, doing it in reverse might lead to some whinging from the proles.
The confidence of Their Arrogancies in their superhuman abilities to dictate how the proles are to move themselves and their various products and possessions between the various prole-selected Points A and Points B with anything like the freedom enabled by the automobile is staggering, and sorely misplaced. Said Arrogancies would have an easier time of it in issuing and enforcing a decree that sex Must Not Occur between unmarried couples of any age.
But if you’d like to see spontaneous uprisings, just humor His Lordship Schwab and try depriving the human race of the free use and benefits of autos along the magnificent existing networks of freeways, tollways, highways, roads, streets, alleys and tire tracks. It may be shocking to Their Arrogancies, but those car-using proles mostly have weapons called Votes, and will not be cowed into giving them up, or into refusing to elect Wrong People. Even Zuckerbucks won’t do it.
Doesn’t matter about how people “vote”. It only matters who counts them.
