Webster’s dictionary defines “dystopia” as a “hypothetical place, society, or situation in which conditions and the quality of life are dreadful.” When I looked up the definition of the word through Microsoft Word on my PC, I saw this definition: “an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives.”
The word “dystopia” perfectly describes what the United States would look like if all of President Biden’s planned cuts in greenhouse gas emissions become a reality. This plan is inseparably linked with his declared socialist agenda for America.
On Thursday, April 22, 2021, Biden “held a climate summit with dozens of world leaders on Thursday, where he pledged to cut America's greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 — with or without approval from Congress.”[i]
In other words, this is the Marxist New Green Deal revitalized under the current administration now leading the United States.
I have exceptionally good news for the weary, but first the bad news, which will make the good news seem all the more glorious.
The Biden Plan for the Environment
Here are a few of the goals/ramifications of the Biden administration plan to deal with greenhouse gas emissions:
Half of the country's electricity would come from renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydropower, up from one-fifth today.
Two-thirds of new cars and SUVs sold would be battery-powered, up from roughly 2% today. The average price of these cars would be $55,000.
One-fourth of Americans would need to stop heating their homes with natural gas and switch to electricity, meaning an investment of more than $5,500 for those households to install an electric heat pump.
Drastically cut red meat consumption in the U.S. to one burger per month per person. This will become an increasingly hot story in the year ahead.
Raise taxes on average $3,500 per person in the United States.[ii]
The price of gasoline has gone up by one dollar this year where I live and that is without the measures that Biden desires to inflect upon the U.S. The price of gasoline and diesel fuel would skyrocket with the implementation of Biden’s plan as well the cost of food, which is already rapidly climbing. The cost of heating and cooling our homes would go through the roof!
In addition, these measures would wipe out farming in much of the Midwest and further destroy lines of food supply in America. Is it not utter and total foolishness to believe that cattle contribute to the climate emergency? It’s a ridiculous lie that the globalists hope we will swallow as they seek to control our diet as well as everything else in our lives.
The much higher taxes, increased costs of transportation and food, the cost of switching from gas burning furnaces in our homes, and the skyrocketing costs of everything else would eliminate the middle class in America an utterly ruin the lives of poor people in the United States. With a such an outcome, everyone becomes completely dependent on a totalitarian Marxist government. A dystopia by any other name.
The Biden Plan Would Create an Ecological Disaster
The Biden plan to cut greenhouse emissions would result in an ecological disaster. In the name of saving the planet, his policies would wreak utter havoc upon the environment.
Sara Burrows wrote this about the great ecological damage that comes from mining the ingredients needed for car batteries:
Lithium mining inevitably harms the soil, pollutes the air, and especially pollutes the water, according to a report by Friends of the Earth.
“Like any mining process, it is invasive, it scars the landscape, destroys the water table, and pollutes the earth and local wells,” says Guillermo Gonzalez, a lithium battery expert from the University of Chile.
In Tibet, it is becoming commonplace to see masses of dead fish, yaks and cows floating downstream of a lithium mine on the Liqi River. . . .
And, although it’s the most abundant, lithium isn’t even the most problematic ingredient of lithium-ion batteries.
Cobalt and nickel are quickly becoming the new “blood diamonds” of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Both are extremely toxic when pulled from the ground, often using child labor without protective equipment.
And, to top it all off, lithium-ion batteries are not recyclable, leaving their toxic contents to leak into landfills and ground water.[iii]
This is a cobalt mine. To convert just one in ten cars in the U. S. to electric battery power, we would need to double the number of these mines in the world and keep all the mined Lithium for this sole purpose.
The windmills themselves have also become an ecological disaster because after twenty years, they wear out. The matter of disposing of worn-out parts from windmills has also become a significant problem across the world. Windmills have created a huge need for landfill space in which to dispose of them.
The disposal of windmill parts has become a significant environmental problem.
Some experts believe that there is not enough lithium on the planet to meet Biden’s goal that two-thirds of all cars and SUVs be battery-driven.
Those who proclaim that “green energy” is good for the environment either do not recognize the fallacy of such a statement or they purposely seek to deceive others regarding its significant environmental damage caused by mining the parts for car batteries and the great harm caused by windmills. In addition, windmill farms kill thousands of birds each year.
The Biden Plan Is Based on Faulty Science
There is no climate emergency; those who claim otherwise are lying to us.
I wrote a chapter in the book Lawless entitled “Who Are the Real Deniers?” In the chapter, I demonstrate that the warnings of the climate alarmists are not at all based on “settled science.” Many highly acclaimed scientists believe that the sun has more to do with the fluctuating temperatures on earth than anything else. I also discuss how active volcanoes emit much more carbon dioxide into the air than the burning of all the fossil fuels.
The prognosticators of environmental doom have yet to make an accurate prediction. Why should we believe them? Why should we allow our government to devastate the poor and wipe out the middle class on the basis of forecast models that have never ever proven to be accurate? Why turn back the clock in America to the stone age on the basis of predictions that have always erred by a wide margin?
Furthermore, those who warn us of impending doom and rising sea levels betray their own words by the way they live. They own multiple homes, private jets, yachts, and purchase multi-million mansions at sea level. They do not fear the rising sea levels they warn us about, why should we?
It’s All About Controlling People
Yes, the immediate goal of the globalists and the deep state in the United States is that of a socialistic society with everyone totally dependent upon the government for their livelihood and everything else. When I worked on my chapter for Lawless, it became clearer to me than ever before that the goals of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and the Green New Deal in America would lead to total government control of everything in our lives. It’s much, much more about the redistribution of wealth and control than anything related to saving the environment.
When I first started visiting the World Economic Forum (WEF) website, the prominent videos on the portrayed the goals of it “Great Reset” as a world in which the government owned everything and people rented everything, even their clothes, from the government. The sentence, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy,” is a direct quote from one such video that I watched many times. Though this video and others like it have disappeared (or perhaps they lie buried somewhere on the site), they reveal the communist agenda behind the Great Reset. Is this not communism where the government owns everything?
Though COVID-19 now dominates the WEF site as the means to make the Great Reset happen, they have not at all lost sight of climate change, which is now the “climate emergency,” as a means of controlling people. COVID-19 provides the needed widespread fear while the “climate emergency” provides the context for further control of our lives.
In his April 28 address, President Biden again emphasized the need to “build back better.” First of all, this slogan comes directly from the WEF and their proposed Great Reset. Secondly, it presupposes the destruction of existing economic structures. Everything advocated by the Biden administration fits like a glove with total control of humanity advocated by Klaus Schwab at the WEF
It starts with the poison pill of socialism, which is clearly the path of the current green agenda and the Biden administration. At first, this pill goes down like a sugar-coated drug. But in the end, it leads to the deadly sickness of communism.
Remember the definition of dystopia, “an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives.” This is precisely what the world will look like if the globalists have their way with resolving the so-called climate emergency while using COVID-19 injections to further regulate human behavior.
The Good News, Yes There is Really Good News
Finally! Yes, there is really good news for those of us in Christ. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, the apostle Paul describes the end result of all we see today, which will eventually include the “man of lawlessness” defiling a future Jewish temple and proclaiming himself to be God. This will happen in the midst of God pouring out His wrath on a Christ-rejecting world.
“How is this good news?” you ask. The entire antichrist system that we see taking shape before our eyes cannot fully materialize until God removes the work of the Restrainer from the world (2 Thess. 2:3-8). The Restrainer is the Holy Spirit, and He is currently holding back the full expression of all the evil we see taking shape everywhere we look. His work of curtailing the great evil of the “man of lawlessness” will come to an end when Jesus removes His church from the world.
In other words, Satan cannot finish his work of setting up his Marxist dystopia on the earth, with his man in charge, until after our departure from planet earth.
This is exceptionally good news for us because it means our home-going is ever so close! If we are this close to the biblical prophecies regarding the tribulation coming to fruition, how much closer must we be to Jesus’ appearing, which must happen first? I believe we are very close to our great hope as Jesus described in John 14:1-3.
And if we are this close to the seven-year tribulation, then we are also that much closer to Jesus’ righteous one-thousand-year reign over the nations during which time we will reign with Him. Imagine a Great King who reigns in total righteousness!
I told you the news would be really great! Keep looking up with eager expectation of Jesus’ soon appearing!!
