For decades, climate change has been presented as an existential crisis, a looming catastrophe requiring immediate and radical action to prevent global disaster. Politicians, corporations, and international institutions have positioned themselves as the planet's saviors, crafting policies that claim to protect the environment and secure humanity’s future. However, beneath the surface of these policies lies an undeniable truth: climate change has been weaponized as a tool for economic control, population management, and engineered scarcity. Rather than embracing a rational approach to climate fluctuations, which considers both the benefits and challenges of a warming planet, governments have implemented regulations that restrict energy production, undermine food security, and drive inflation to benefit a select few industries and power structures. The modern climate agenda is not about saving the planet; it is about consolidating control, generating artificial scarcity, and ensuring that wealth and resources remain in the hands of those who dictate the narrative.
The foundation of the climate control mechanism is the deliberate restriction of energy production. Fossil fuels have been the backbone of industrial civilization, providing cheap, reliable energy that has fueled economic growth, technological progress, and human prosperity. The aggressive push to phase out oil, gas, and coal without a viable replacement has resulted in soaring energy prices and economic instability. Though beneficial in specific contexts, renewable sources such as wind and solar cannot yet provide the same reliability as fossil fuels. Yet, governments continue to force this transition at an accelerated and unsustainable rate. This has led to energy crises across the USA, Europe, and beyond, where nations that once enjoyed energy independence have relied on imported energy at exorbitant prices. The shutdown of nuclear power plants, a clean and efficient energy source, has further exacerbated this crisis, proving that environmental concerns are not the true motivation behind these policies. Instead, energy scarcity is being engineered to create dependency on government assistance, foreign energy suppliers, and corporate-controlled renewable industries that benefit from state subsidies while delivering unreliable power.
At the same time, food production has become another front in the battle for economic control. The very gas that is vilified as a climate threat, carbon dioxide, is essential for plant growth, and its increase in the atmosphere has already contributed to the greening of the planet. Higher CO? levels enhance photosynthesis, improving agricultural productivity and making crops more resilient to environmental stress. Yet, rather than acknowledging these benefits, governments have imposed regulations that actively reduce food production. European farmers have been forced to limit nitrogen usage, cut livestock herds, and even abandon farming under various environmental initiatives. The result has been entirely predictable: higher food prices, reduced supply, and greater reliance on imported goods. Nations that once prided themselves on agricultural self-sufficiency are now dependent on foreign markets, creating vulnerability in the food supply chain that could have been avoided. This is not an accident; it is a calculated move to consolidate food production into the hands of multinational corporations, who now control an ever-growing share of the global agricultural market.
Beyond food and energy, global trade has been shaped by climate economic policies. The reality of a warming world is not a universal catastrophe; it represents an opportunity for many regions. Opening Arctic trade routes due to melting ice will dramatically reduce shipping costs, providing faster and cheaper transportation between Asia, Europe, and North America. Countries like Russia, Canada, Greenland, and the USA (Alaska) stand to gain vast new territories for agriculture and resource extraction. Yet, rather than investing in these emerging opportunities, many governments continue to enforce policies that hinder economic expansion in these regions. The fear-driven climate agenda is not about adaptation or innovation; it is about restriction, about keeping resources scarce and expensive rather than utilizing them to increase prosperity.
Inflation, the silent tax that disproportionately affects the working and lower classes, is the inevitable consequence of these policies. When energy is restricted, prices rise across every sector. When food production is curtailed, grocery bills soar. When trade is hindered, supply chains become unreliable, leading to further price increases. While ordinary citizens struggle with higher living costs, those positioned at the center of the climate economy, corporations that control renewable energy, financial institutions that trade carbon credits, and governments that collect green taxes reap the benefits. The climate crisis has become an industry, a trillion-dollar market that profits from the very problems it claims to solve.
Despite the insistence that every fraction of a degree of warming spells disaster, the truth is that a +2°C world would bring many economic and agricultural benefits. More land would become arable in high-latitude regions, expanding global food production. Longer growing seasons would boost harvests, reducing food scarcity. Energy costs could decrease with proper investment in Arctic trade and resource extraction. Yet, rather than pursuing these opportunities, policymakers have doubled on scarcity-driven economics, ensuring that the wealthiest nations and corporations remain at the helm. At the same time, the average citizen bears the burden of higher costs and lower living standards.
The climate agenda is not a grassroots movement for environmental justice; it is a carefully crafted system of control that leverages fear to justify economic policies that benefit the few at the expense of the many. It is not about stopping climate change but about managing its narrative to create a system where energy, food, and resources are kept artificially scarce, driving up costs and reinforcing economic hierarchies. The true path to sustainability is not through deprivation and restriction but through technological advancement, intelligent resource management, and a rejection of the engineered crises imposed to save the planet.
The correlation between Stalinism and the current corporate and political climate agenda lies in their shared use of centralized control, engineered scarcity, propaganda, and coercion to maintain power over society. While Stalinism was a form of authoritarian socialism that sought to control all aspects of life through state power, today’s corporate-political climate movement operates under the guise of environmentalism to achieve similar ends: control over energy, food, production, and individual freedoms. The climate agenda, like Stalinism, prioritizes ideology over reality, enforces compliance through economic coercion, and silences dissenters under the pretext of a greater good.
Centralized Control and Economic Planning
Stalinism was based on?centralized economic planning, where the state dictated all aspects of production, resource distribution, and industrial priorities. This resulted in?massive inefficiencies, food shortages, and economic stagnation. The state’s absolute control over?agriculture, energy, and trade?allowed it to manipulate supply and demand, ensuring that the population remained?dependent on government provisions.
Today, the climate movement follows a similar strategy, using government regulation and corporate collusion to dictate how energy and food production should function. Politicians and corporate leaders artificially control supply through carbon taxes, emissions limits, energy restrictions, and green subsidies, increasing prices and limiting access to essential resources. Rather than allowing market-driven solutions to energy and food security, the modern climate agenda relies on top-down intervention that creates scarcity instead of abundance.
Like Stalin’s?Five-Year Plans, today’s?Net Zero goals and Green Deals?are set by?bureaucrats and technocrats?with no real-world accountability. Under the pretext of saving the planet, they force entire economies into inefficiencies. The result??Energy shortages, rising food prices, and greater economic dependency, just as Soviet citizens became entirely reliant on the state for survival.
Engineered Scarcity and Famine Economics
Under Stalin, food production was intentionally sabotaged through forced collectivization, the persecution of independent farmers (kulaks), and disastrous agricultural policies. The result was the Holodomor (1932-33), a famine that killed millions in Ukraine due to deliberate state mismanagement of food production. Stalin’s policies were not just failures of governance; they were weapons of control, ensuring that independent farmers were wiped out and that the population became entirely reliant on state handouts.
Similarly, today’s climate policies deliberately reduce food production, particularly in Europe and North America, while increasing reliance on imports from foreign-controlled agricultural industries. The EU’s Farm-to-Fork strategy, the Dutch government's livestock reduction policies, and agrarian carbon taxes are modern equivalents of engineered food scarcity, ensuring that small farmers are pushed out of business while large agribusinesses take over.
The pattern is the same:?disrupt the food supply, create dependency, and justify it using ideological principles. Stalin used?socialist collectivization?as his excuse; today’s elites use?climate justice and sustainability. The victims, however, are always the same:?ordinary people paying higher food prices and losing access to self-sufficiency.
Suppression of Dissent and Thought Control
Stalinism enforced?strict ideological conformity, and any dissent from the party line was met with?censorship, imprisonment, or execution. The Soviet Union was infamous for its?show trials, purges, and propaganda, which were designed to ensure that no one questioned the state’s authority or ideology.
Today, while dissenters are not sent to the Gulag, climate skepticism is met with severe censorship, professional blacklisting, and media smearing. Scientists, journalists, and political figures who challenge the mainstream climate narrative face deplatforming, funding cuts, and reputational attacks. Governments and corporations pressure tech platforms to silence "climate misinformation," which in reality means any argument that does not align with state-approved environmental policies.
The?fear-driven propaganda?about climate catastrophe also mirrors Stalinist psychological tactics.?Soviet citizens were constantly reminded that they must sacrifice for the collective good or face destruction. Today, people are bombarded with messages that unless drastic climate policies are followed, the planet will collapse.?The use of children in climate movements (e.g.,?Greta Thunberg) mirrors Soviet propaganda, which placed?youth at the forefront of ideological enforcement.
Forced Collectivization and Economic Centralization
In Stalinist economies, private enterprise was abolished, and all means of production were placed under state control. Small businesses and independent farmers were seen as threats to the socialist system and were forcibly integrated into collective farms and state-run industries.
Today’s corporate climate agenda follows a similar pattern: small, independent businesses, particularly in agriculture and energy, are being destroyed through regulation, while large corporations are given subsidies and monopolistic control. Governments are shutting down small farms, restricting independent energy production (such as coal and oil drilling), and making local economies dependent on multinational corporations that are aligned with climate policies.
Agribusiness giants replace Independent farmers.
Local energy producers are shut down, while global energy firms monopolize green energy projects.
Small-scale manufacturing is regulated into oblivion, while corporate supply chains are protected.
Just as Stalinist collectivization ensured that all economic power was centralized, today’s climate-driven economic restructuring ensures corporate-government partnerships dictate who controls resources, wealth, and supply chains.
Artificial Crises Justify More Government Power
A hallmark of Stalinist governance was the use of crises (genuine or manufactured) to justify increased government intervention. Whether it was economic collapse, foreign threats, or internal dissent, every crisis expanded state control and suppressed freedoms.
The climate crisis functions the same way in today’s political landscape. No matter what happens, heat waves, cold snaps, hurricanes, or wildfires, the solution is always the same: more government control, more regulations, higher taxes, and restrictions on individual freedom. Instead of allowing for technological adaptation and economic resilience, governments seize on every environmental event to push for more power and less personal autonomy.
Rising fuel prices? It’s the fault of climate change, not energy policies.
Food shortages? It’s climate change, not government-imposed farming restrictions.
Inflation? It’s climate change, not artificial supply chain disruptions.
Just as Soviet citizens were expected to endure suffering for the sake of the party, modern citizens are told to accept higher costs of living, reduced access to food and energy, and less personal freedom, all in the name of saving the planet.
The Creation of a Controlled, Obedient Population
Stalinism sought to reshape society into a docile, controlled population that relied entirely on the state for survival. Today’s climate policies serve the same purpose: by making food, energy, and economic independence harder to achieve, people become more dependent on government assistance, corporate supply chains, and international regulatory bodies.
Just as Soviet citizens lived under rationing, restricted travel, and centralized employment, modern climate policies are leading toward a world where:
Personal car ownership is discouraged in favor of public transport and electric vehicles controlled by the state.
Meat consumption is restricted under the guise of sustainability, forcing people into artificial food systems.
Home energy use is regulated, limiting access to heating, cooling, and basic comforts.
The modern climate movement?mirrors the Stalinist approach to governance by making life more expensive, restrictive, and controlled. It ensures that the masses are kept in a state of perpetual struggle while the ruling elite lives comfortably above the rules they impose.
The Climate Agenda as Neo-Stalinism
The climate movement, like Stalinism, is not truly about its stated goals. Stalinism was never about equality; it was about power consolidation and control. The modern climate agenda is not about saving the planet but about creating artificial scarcity, controlling economies, and limiting personal freedoms.
By restricting energy, sabotaging food production, engineering inflation, and enforcing ideological conformity, climate Stalinism is shaping a world where the average person owns less, pays more, and depends on state-corporate systems for survival.
The ultimate lesson from Stalinism is that centralized control leads to suffering, inefficiency, and economic decay. If climate policies continue in their current trajectory, the world risks repeating the same mistakes of totalitarian economic planning, just under a new, green-painted banner.
Rather than focusing on technological innovation and adaptation, climate policies have prioritized restrictions, bans, and regulatory burdens that have artificially increased the cost of living, suppressed economic growth, and widened the gap between the wealthy elite and the struggling working class. The consequences of these policies are already evident, rising energy prices, soaring food costs, failing supply chains, loss of productivity and competitivity, and increasing state control over individual freedoms. While climate change is a real phenomenon, its response has been designed not to solve the problem but to exploit it for financial and political gain.
The Engineered Energy Crisis: A Modern Version of Economic Control
A core element of the climate agenda is the deliberate restriction of energy production. The world has been powered by fossil fuels for over a century, with oil, coal, and natural gas forming the backbone of industrial civilization. These resources have provided cheap, reliable, and scalable energy, lifting billions of people from poverty and driving technological progress. Yet, rather than allowing for a balanced transition toward new energy sources, governments have aggressively shut down traditional energy production while pushing unreliable and expensive alternatives.
Across Europe, coal plants have been decommissioned, nuclear plants have been shut down, and oil exploration has been restricted, all in the name of reducing emissions. However, these restrictions have not led to a smoother, cheaper, or more sustainable energy market. Instead, they have resulted in crippling energy shortages, record-high electricity costs, and increased dependence on foreign energy supplies. Once an industrial powerhouse, Germany is now dependent on Russian gas and imports from unstable regions due to its rushed closure of nuclear and coal facilities. The EU faces the?world's highest energy costs, with businesses shutting down due to unaffordable electricity and heating bills crushing households.
New regulations have restricted drilling and pipeline construction in the United States and Canada, leading to higher fuel prices. Meanwhile, developing nations in Africa and South America, which could benefit from cheap energy to industrialize and grow their economies, are pressured by international institutions to abandon fossil fuels entirely, locking them into permanent economic stagnation.
This engineered scarcity of energy is not an accident.?High energy costs force dependency.?When people and businesses struggle to afford necessities, they rely more on?government subsidies, corporate-controlled green energy programs, and international climate funds. The winners in this system are not the people but?investment firms, global energy conglomerates, and governments that collect carbon taxes and green subsidies.
Food Production Under Attack: The Creation of an Agricultural Crisis
While energy scarcity drives inflation, the?attack on food production?makes survival even more expensive for ordinary people. CO?, the gas demonized by climate activists, is essential for plant life. Increased CO? levels have been scientifically proven to boost crop yields, accelerate plant growth, and improve global food supply. The Earth's atmosphere has only 0.0427% CO?, a small fraction that is crucial in sustaining life.
Despite this, governments and environmental organizations have targeted agriculture as a major contributor to climate change, introducing policies that reduce food production, drive up prices, and force small farmers out of business. The EU’s Farm-to-Fork strategy, which aims to cut pesticide use by 50% and fertilizer use by 20%, directly attacks farming efficiency. The Netherlands, a global leader in food exports, has forced thousands of farmers to shut down livestock operations due to nitrogen regulations. In Canada, government-imposed fertilizer restrictions are already affecting crop yields, leading to higher food prices.
By reducing domestic food production, Western governments are?artificially relying on imported food from multinational corporations, which is produced in?regions with lower environmental and labor regulations. This controlled shift in food supply chains consolidates power over agriculture into the hands of?a few major global agribusinesses while small farmers are forced into bankruptcy.
The consequences are clear:?rising grocery costs, increasing food scarcity, and greater dependency on global supply chains controlled by corporate and governmental interests.?Low-income families, who spend much of their income on food, suffer the most. Just as Stalin’s Soviet Union?engineered food shortages to control the population, modern climate policies?restrict food availability under the pretext of sustainability, creating manufactured crises that benefit corporate monopolies.
The Economic Collapse of the Middle Class: Rising Inflation and Engineered Poverty
With energy and food costs soaring,?rising inflation is inevitable. Everything becomes more expensive when?transportation, production, and distribution costs increase. The middle class, which historically enjoyed economic mobility and financial independence, is now being pushed into a cycle of dependency. Homeownership is increasingly out of reach, fuel and food costs consume more significant portions of household budgets, and businesses are cutting jobs due to unsustainable operational costs.
Inflation is not an accident, it is a tool used by governments and financial institutions to erode wealth and force more people into economic servitude. Carbon taxes, emissions regulations, and subsidies for inefficient green energy projects contribute to higher living costs, with the burden falling disproportionately on the working and middle classes, meanwhile, the wealthiest benefit from government contracts, green investments, and monopolistic control over essential industries.
By keeping energy and food artificially scarce and expensive, governments ensure that the average person cannot build personal wealth, cannot own land, and cannot operate independently. The economic policies associated with the climate agenda are not about protecting the environment, they are about centralizing wealth, consolidating power, and creating a class of obedient, dependent citizens.
A Warmer World: The Benefits That Are Ignored
If governments were honestly acting in the people's best interest, they would recognize the many benefits of a slightly warmer planet. A +2°C increase in global temperatures would expand agricultural zones in Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Alaska, opening millions of hectares of new farmland. Longer growing seasons would increase food production, making food more abundant and affordable. The melting of Arctic ice would create new, shorter trade routes, reducing the cost of shipping and global commerce.
However, these opportunities are?deliberately ignored?because they do not serve the interests of those who profit from scarcity. By embracing rational adaptation strategies instead of restrictive policies, the world could experience greater prosperity, lower living costs, and increased economic freedom.
Modern climate policies have?little to do with protecting the environment and everything to do with economic and social control. By engineering energy shortages, restricting food production, and driving inflation, governments and corporations are?creating artificial crises that consolidate power in the hands of the few.
Instead of embracing the natural benefits of climate change and CO?-driven agricultural growth, policies are designed to create dependency, weaken the middle class, and force reliance on government subsidies and corporate-controlled markets.
The solution is not blind compliance with green austerity measures but a shift toward technological innovation, economic independence, and a rejection of engineered scarcity. Until people recognize that the climate movement is being used as a mechanism for control rather than conservation, they will continue to suffer under an agenda that keeps them poorer, more restricted, and entirely dependent on the institutions claiming to be saving them.
Examples of Engineered Scarcity in Energy, Food, and Economic Policy
Rather than allowing market-driven abundance, governments and corporations manipulate supply chains, impose artificial constraints, and create unnecessary shortages to drive up costs, increase dependency, and consolidate control. Below are real-world examples across energy, food, and finance that illustrate how engineered scarcity is used today.
Energy Scarcity: Restricting Fossil Fuels Without Viable Alternatives
EU Energy Crisis: Banning Fossil Fuels, Then Importing More Expensive Gas
One of the most glaring examples of deliberate energy scarcity is the European Union's forced transition from fossil fuels?while?increasing dependence on foreign energy sources.
The Netherlands, Germany, and the UK have aggressively shut down coal, oil, and nuclear plants, leaving them dependent on Russian gas and imports from the Middle East.
Germany shut down its last three nuclear power plants in 2023 despite facing an energy crisis, forcing industries and households to pay record-high electricity bills.
In response to the Russia-Ukraine war, the EU blocked Russian energy imports, yet instead of increasing domestic production, Europe imported the same fossil fuels from elsewhere at higher prices, benefiting multinational energy firms.
This artificial limitation on energy production has driven up electricity and fuel prices, forcing people into energy poverty while simultaneously justifying massive government subsidies for green energy companies that fail to provide reliable power.
U.S. Gas Price Manipulation: Killing Domestic Drilling While Importing Oil
In the United States, domestic oil production has been deliberately reduced under the past administration:
New oil drilling leases have been suspended or canceled, limiting U.S. energy independence.
The Keystone XL pipeline was shut down despite the U.S. importing millions of barrels of oil daily.
Instead of relying on local production, the U.S. government begged Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil, creating artificial fuel scarcity that drove American prices up.
Rather than promoting energy abundance, these policies keep gas and electricity prices artificially high, benefiting green energy companies while forcing reliance on expensive, foreign-controlled energy.
Food Scarcity: Targeting Farmers While Increasing Dependence on Imports
The Dutch Farmer Crisis: Destroying Agriculture in the Name of Climate Policy
The Dutch government’s war on agriculture is a textbook example of engineered food scarcity:
The Netherlands, one of the world's largest food exporters, forced thousands of farmers to reduce livestock and cut nitrogen emissions.
The government offered buyouts to farmers, forcing them to shut down productive farms under new EU climate regulations.
Meanwhile, the EU continued importing meat and dairy from countries with less strict environmental rules, proving that the real goal was not sustainability but market control.
As a result, food prices across Europe soared, creating a controlled food crisis while allowing agribusiness giants to dominate supply chains.

The?economic collapse in Sri Lanka (2022)?was triggered by a?government-mandated ban on chemical fertilizers.?This ban?cut crop yields by 50% in a single year, leading to?famine, riots, and a complete financial collapse.
The?World Economic Forum (WEF)?promotes reducing?livestock and meat consumption, pushing synthetic foods and lab-grown meat. This further shifts control away from?independent farmers?and into the hands of?corporations.
Instead of supporting efficient and sustainable farming, climate policies intentionally reduce food production, ensuring higher prices, controlled supply chains, and greater corporate dominance over food markets.
Economic Scarcity: Inflation, Housing, and Supply Chain Manipulation
Inflation as a Tool of Wealth Transfer
Central banks printed trillions of dollars during COVID-19, creating record-high inflation while pushing interest rates up, making it harder for the average person to afford housing or start a business.
Governments blamed supply chain issues and climate change, yet many shortages were artificially induced through lockdowns, shipping restrictions, and workforce reductions.
Small businesses were forced to close, while large corporations thrived under government stimulus programs.
Inflation is not an accident; it is a tool to reduce real wages, keep the middle class from accumulating wealth, and make necessities increasingly unaffordable.
Housing Scarcity: Restricting Development While Raising Costs
Zoning laws and environmental regulations prevent new home construction, keeping housing artificially expensive.
Governments push high-density housing and "15-minute cities", restricting individual land ownership.
BHousing corporations and other investment firms are buying single-family homes, limiting supply and forcing more people into permanent renting.
By restricting housing development, corporations drive up home prices, increase rent dependency, and prevent wealth accumulation among working-class citizens.
Manufactured Supply Chain Disruptions
COVID-19 lockdowns shut down key production hubs, yet big corporations were exempt from many restrictions while small suppliers collapsed.
California’s strict truck emissions regulations (2021) removed tens of thousands of independent truckers from supply chains, worsening delays and driving up shipping costs.
Food processing plant fires and closures have mysteriously surged, reducing local food supply while imports continue rising.
Instead of encouraging self-sufficiency and economic resilience, governments have created artificial supply crises that benefit globalist corporations and financial institutions.
Travel and Mobility Restrictions: Controlling Population Movement
Banning Gas Cars While Public Transport Remains Underfunded
The EU and California have set deadlines to ban gas-powered cars, forcing people into EVs that are more expensive and easier to control remotely.
Germany has proposed banning short-haul flights, limiting personal freedom under the pretext of reducing emissions.
The UK is implementing "15-minute cities", where residents are fined for driving outside their designated zones without permission.
Instead of allowing personal choice in transportation, these policies are forcing people into restricted mobility, reducing travel freedom, and increasing state surveillance.
Engineered Scarcity is About Control, Not Conservation
Energy, food, housing, and economic freedom are?deliberately restricted?under the false pretext of sustainability. These policies?disproportionately harm the poor and middle class?while benefiting?corporations, financial elites, and global institutions.
Governments and?corporations create artificial scarcity?to ensure that?resources remain expensive, populations become more dependent, and individual freedom is steadily eroded. Instead of embracing?abundance, innovation, and self-sufficiency, the climate agenda and related economic policies?concentrate power in fewer hands.
The real solution is?not austerity or forced scarcity but economic freedom, technological progress, and rational adaptation to climate challenges, not centralized control that impoverishes the masses while enriching the ruling class.
How Governments Benefit from Engineered Scarcity: Power, Debt, and Control
Engineered scarcity is not just a side effect of poor policy; it is a deliberate economic strategy that allows governments to increase control, manipulate markets, and manage public debt repayment while justifying new forms of taxation and financial intervention. By restricting access to energy, food, housing, and essential goods, governments create inflation, financial dependency, and economic instability, all serving their long-term political and fiscal interests.
Governments are some of the largest?debt holders?in the world, and their financial survival depends on?debt management strategies that exploit inflation and wealth redistribution.?Deliberate resource reduction and rising costs of living?are key mechanisms through which governments maintain power, enforce compliance, and shift financial burdens onto the public while benefiting from currency devaluation.
Inflation from Scarcity Helps Governments Repay Debt
Inflation is one of the most effective ways for governments to?reduce the real value of public debt. Governments worldwide owe trillions in national debt, and rather than repaying it honestly, they allow?engineered scarcity to drive up inflation, which erodes the actual value of their debt.
How inflation reduces debt:
Governments borrow money at fixed interest rates.
As inflation rises, the value of money decreases, meaning that the actual amount they owe is worth less over time.
This allows them to repay their debt in devalued currency without technically defaulting.
Governments artificially drive inflation by?restricting energy production,?limiting food supply, and?increasing supply chain costs.?This forces the public to pay more while effectively?erasing a portion of the the national debt.
Example: If a government borrows $1 trillion and inflation rises by 10% per year in 10 years, that debt is worth only half as much in real terms, making repayment more manageable.
Meanwhile, wages do not rise at the same rate as inflation, meaning the middle and lower classes suffer while the government quietly devalues its liabilities.
This?hidden tax on savings and wages?benefits the state at the expense of ordinary people. Their purchasing power declines while governments pay off debts with devalued money.
Higher Tax Revenue from Inflation and Scarcity
As inflation rises due to engineered scarcity, governments benefit from a hidden increase in tax revenue:
Progressive tax brackets are not adjusted for inflation, meaning that as nominal incomes rise, more people are pushed into?higher tax brackets and?pay more taxes.
Sales tax revenue increases, as higher prices mean that every purchase generates more tax revenue for the state.
Property tax revenue grows as inflation drives up real estate values, even if housing affordability declines.
At the same time, governments introduce new climate-related taxes and regulations that justify even more taxation:
Carbon taxes on energy and fuel increase government revenue while making goods more expensive.
Higher corporate taxes on "polluting" industries create more financial dependence on the state.
Green subsidies funnel tax money into politically connected businesses, expanding government control over the economy.
Governments, therefore, engineer scarcity, drive up prices, and then collect more taxes on inflated goods and services, increasing their financial control over the economy.
Control Over Population Through Economic Dependency
Scarcity forces the population to have greater financial dependency on the government, reducing individual freedom and increasing compliance.
Higher cost of living makes people more reliant on government assistance programs, which the state uses as leverage.
Energy and food shortages create rationing systems, which allow governments to control consumption and introduce new regulations on personal behavior.
Small businesses collapse under high costs, allowing corporations working closely with governments to consolidate economic power.
The cycle repeats itself:
Example: During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments imposed lockdowns, restricted supply chains, and created labor shortages, which increased dependency on government assistance. Similar tactics are now used through climate policies, restricting fuel, food, and economic mobility while expanding government intervention.
State-Controlled Green Energy: The New Economic Monopoly
While fossil fuels are regulated and restricted, governments are actively funding and subsidizing green energy projects, creating a new state-controlled monopoly.
Instead of allowing free-market competition, governments pick winners and losers, directing investment into state-sponsored energy companies that benefit from artificial market demand.
Renewable energy sources?are not yet reliable enough?to replace fossil fuels, so?energy costs remain high. This?benefits the state and its corporate partners.
Countries are imposing electric vehicle mandates, ensuring citizens are forced into government-controlled transportation grids that can be easily taxed, tracked, and restricted.
This manufactured transition allows governments to dictate energy access, enforce carbon credits, and monopolize the economy through subsidies and regulations.
Climate Regulations and ESG Policies Benefit Governments and Corporations
Governments and financial institutions are consolidating their financial power through?climate regulations and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies.
Private companies must comply with ESG regulations to receive funding, limiting economic freedom.
Investment firms control trillions of dollars in "green investment funds," using their influence to shape global markets in favor of government-backed initiatives.
Governments use ESG policies to dictate corporate behavior, forcing businesses into compliance under the threat of regulation, taxation, or loss of investment access.
The result is a corporate-government alliance where only businesses that align with state-approved climate policies receive investment while independent entrepreneurs and small businesses struggle to compete.
Artificially Reducing Economic Mobility: The End of the Middle Class
One of the most dangerous effects of engineered scarcity is the destruction of the middle class, as economic mobility is systematically reduced through inflation, taxation, and regulation.
Housing is becoming unaffordable due to artificial supply restrictions, locking younger generations into permanent renting.
Car ownership is being discouraged in favor of public transportation and "15-minute city" policies, limiting freedom of movement.
Small businesses face higher operational costs, while large corporations, protected by government policies, dominate the economy.
Debt burdens increase, making it harder for individuals to escape financial dependence on state assistance programs.
With rising costs, declining wages (adjusted for inflation), and fewer opportunities for personal wealth accumulation, people have no option but to comply with government policies, rely on subsidies, and accept increasing restrictions on their economic freedoms.
Governments Profit, While Citizens Pay the Price
The engineered scarcity of energy, food, housing, and financial freedom is not an accident but a strategy that allows governments to:
While these policies are marketed as necessary for sustainability, they ultimately serve as tools for economic control, concentrating wealth and power at the expense of ordinary citizens.
The solution is to?reject manufactured scarcity, support free-market competition, and promote technological innovation?rather than?top-down economic restrictions that benefit the elite while impoverishing the public.
The world is witnessing a systematic shift toward engineered scarcity, where climate policies are used to restrict energy, food, financial freedom, and personal autonomy under the guise of sustainability. Through artificial energy shortages, manipulated food supply chains, economic inflation, and digital control mechanisms like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and AI-driven consumption tracking, governments, and corporations are consolidating power, limiting personal choice, and forcing populations into state-dependent, high-cost lifestyles. They envision a future where private ownership declines, mobility is restricted, and essential goods are rationed through automated, technocratic governance, making personal wealth accumulation nearly impossible. However, despite the current trajectory, there is hope. Public awareness is growing, and more people are questioning the manufactured climate crisis narrative. Independent thinkers, decentralized financial systems, and off-grid communities are pushing back against global control structures by advocating for self-sufficiency, technological innovation, and economic sovereignty. The rise of alternative energy solutions, local food production, digital privacy tools, and decentralized economies signals a movement toward freedom from imposed scarcity. As more individuals reject state-enforced dependency and reclaim personal autonomy, the possibility of a freer, more resilient future remains within reach, where sustainability is achieved not through restriction but through human ingenuity and voluntary cooperation.
