In a recent article published by Birch Gold Group and written by Brandon Smith, the author highlights the convergence of narratives surrounding climate change, international finance, and monetary authority. The article discusses a summit held in Paris, where government leaders and influential figures from around the world gathered to address financial solutions for tackling poverty and curbing planet-heating emissions. However, Smith suggests that the underlying motive behind these discussions is the centralization of power and the formation of a global consortium, using climate change as a catalyst for giving global banks more control over wealth circulation and reshaping the existing economic system.
The author critiques the notion that weather disasters intensified by global warming are causing ongoing destabilization of financial systems, stating that there is no concrete evidence linking carbon emissions to specific weather phenomena. Smith argues that the climate change agenda is being used to promote the "Great Reset," a plan that advocates for transforming institutions and giving international financial organizations like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) a greater role in addressing climate dangers.
The article delves into proposals such as wealth/emissions taxes, fossil fuel profit taxation, and carbon taxation on shipping, which the author views as mechanisms to inflate prices and reduce consumption. Smith suggests that these disjointed plans ultimately serve a larger agenda: the establishment of a fully centralized global economic system controlled by institutions such as the IMF, BIS, World Bank, and the UN. Such a system would allow these organizations to dictate wealth redistribution, reward compliant nations, and punish those who do not conform.
Smith speculates that this push for centralization may culminate in a currency crisis, paving the way for the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The author expresses concerns about the implications of a cashless society, where transactions lack privacy and individual purchasing power can be easily controlled, potentially leading to a totalitarian scenario.
Highlighting the fear-generating aspect of climate change propaganda, the author argues that public apprehension serves the interests of those seeking financial dominance. Smith suggests that systemic changes being proposed, such as national wealth taxation, the IMF and World Bank as global mediators, the use of IMF's SDR basket as a global currency umbrella, and the introduction of CBDCs, have little to do with addressing climate change and everything to do with consolidating power and diminishing freedom and prosperity.
In conclusion, the article asserts that the elites' call for a "financial shock" and global taxation under the guise of equality are part of a larger agenda to throttle the existing system, promote centralization, and pursue global governance rather than genuinely addressing climate change concerns.
