Saw this on Twitter:
And it is real. They are paying people to stop farming. You know: growing food. As has been pointed out: you are the carbon they want reduced.
You see this and then you take Sri Lanka in mind, see all the fast food corps trying to market “beyond beef” products, endless articles about how we can eat bugs instead of meat…deliberately pushing up gas and oil costs while pushing electric vehicles while mega corps buy up residential property to rent it out. Sorry, but I see a plan: reduce human population and have what remains jammed into mega-cities where common folks eat bug paste in their life pods while getting around by bicycle or electric train. Did some group of rich people sketch this out? Not sure: but the various rich people NGO’s are all singing from the same Green hymnal and it all comes out to regular people having less, with the subtext being there will be fewer regular people.
Leave aside whether this is or isn’t a global conspiracy and you’re still left with the fact of what they are doing: in the name of “saving the planet” they are proposing we completely restructure our society to be Green – and no matter how you slice it, Green gives you less food and energy. With seven billion people on Earth, the wheels of agriculture, manufacturing and transport must turn rapidly in order for everyone to get their daily bread. If you interfere with that, there simply won’t be enough to go around. And rely on it, if there are shortages, the rich people telling us to go Green aren’t suffering them. Went to the store today to get yellow peppers and they didn’t have any. Hardly any red peppers, either. This isn’t odd food – this is staple stuff for the modern American diet. Bin after bin where the peppers normally are sit empty. But I guarantee you that if Gates wants some yellow peppers with his dinner tonight, he’s got them or will have them within the hour.
So, in my view, it isn’t the Left that we really have a problem with. They’re just kooks who don’t know anything – the problem comes in when the rich adopt Leftist views and seek to implement them. As to just why billionaires want to impose the ideals of ignorant Marxists, I don’t know for certain. It is probably a variety of reasons: but the underlying issue is that the Masters of the Universe want to remain Masters…and they are more than happy to change title and Party Line as long as they stay rich and in charge. Chesterton pointed this out more than a century ago when he noted that the British Ruling Class would have no problem changing over from being Duke of Norfolk to being Administrator of Norfolk. Because at the end of all plans of the rich, they remain fabulously rich, immune to law and firmly in control. What matters to you if the mass of people are crammed into stinking, crime ridden cities? You’ve just flown out to your private island after another Geneva confab and you’re getting ready for you and your buddies to abuse some young men and girls.
We have to cease worrying about absurdities like AOC or the latest Tik Tok Progressive weirdo who is grooming kids to be trans – these are problems and they’ll have to be dealt with, but the way to deal with them is to get rid of the rich people. Get rid of those who fund, promote and protect the Marxist fruitcakes. The Marxist numbskulls would be powerless and ignored except for very rich people funneling them money so they can attack not the rich, but you and me with our suburban homes, cars and our weekend trip to the beach (and the Rich hates that – hates that right next to their zillion dollar beachfront home are regular folks just being there). And do keep that in mind: for all the Left’s “eat the rich” rhetoric, their practical policy demands are for you and me to have less…less money, less property, less freedom. And who want us to have less? Those who have the most – their wealth is sacred, ours is Destroying the Planet. The footsoldiers of the Left are just too stupid to see how they are being manipulated…but that is no surprise because you have to be monumentally stupid to be a Leftist to begin with. But they are still not the enemy – the most aggressive BLM/Antifa rioter is not your enemy. He’s an idiot. He’s a tool. And he’s sent out against you by people who have fabulous fortunes, almost all inherited or recently acquired via political connections.
Unless and until we make this mental shift and realize that the rich are our enemies, we’re really not going to get anywhere. Any victory will be temporary in nature. Defeated in one field, they’ll just use their money to open up another one…and it doesn’t take them much money. Just a few million dollars can fund all sorts of people and programs to attack us. And what is even a billion dollars to someone with tens of billions? It is chump change – and for chump change, they will destroy you. Unless you take all their money away.
I’m not talking about taxing and redistributing – I’m talking about straight up confiscation. The Ruling Class does it to us all the time via asset forfeiture. Turn about is fair play – their money is forfeit one fine day. We just take it, leaving them with nothing – and then we pass it out to our people in some set increment so that the net wealth of our side increases.
Or, you can adhere to some tired theory which holds that private property includes fortunes of hundreds of billions which are being used to undermine the very basis of normal, human life. Up to you. Pick what you want. I prefer we get rid of those who propose to desrtoy us.

You make it sound so easy.
Easy it won’t be – but I do believe it must be done. Either they keep their money, or we keep our country. I’d like for there to be some other way around this – but those with the most money, even those who from time to time do something we like, are destructive. It isn’t being against property – I’d no more part with the concept of property than I would with my teeth – but just as having 50 wives would be a negation of marriage, so is having $10 billion or more is a negation of property. They can’t help but warp the system…the mere fact that they do anything changes the result…and when they are determined to change things it is almost impossible for the people to stop them. They have to go – their money has to be gone, and systems put in place to ensure that no person can ever gain such fortunes again.
Don’t we pay farmers not to plant all the time comrade?
And that has been a mistake – but this is different; this is paying people to stop farming altogether.
Of course not, comrade. We have sometimes paid farmers to not plant certain crops where there is a surplus. We now pay farmers to grow corn we buy to make ethanol—a slightly different intervention of the government into the market and one we need to get a grip on. But do try to post something less vapid and shallow.
If people stopped farming we wouldn’t have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat, we wouldn’t have farm fresh eggs, we wouldn’t have those big juicy ribeye and top loin steaks. Oh have mercy talk about food shortages and chaos.
Whoever’s paying people to stop farming needs their fingers shortened about 5 inches.
Did some group of rich people sketch this out?
Yes! This would be a place to start.
As to just why billionaires want to impose the ideals of ignorant Marxists, I don’t know for certain.
The short answer – satan, who is intent on the destruction of all good things God intended us to have. People will willingly give up freedoms for marginal comfort. Once their freedom is gone, then the powerful can dispense with the comforts at will, pitting friends and family against each other. This was one of the major elements used by Nazi Germany, along with most all tyrannical enterprises. Fear and hopelessness go a long way in controlling the masses.
On top of control of huge amounts of farm land, the ultra-rich also have significant influence in;
1.) The primary media sources,
2.) The political swamp,
3.) Major corporations including manufacturing, entertainment, marketing,
4.) Banking industries and other financial institutions.

Confiscation along with incarceration and/or lethal injection. This is in an attempt to prevent it from happening repeatedly. Also, we need to designate many organizations the ultra-rich have direct control over as monopolies and force their breakup, much like what was done with Ma Bell. This includes social media platforms. Declare them monopolies and impose harsh rules against their efforts to use their influences against any they would deem competition or enemies.
