I was in Brussels late last year and the same thing was happening there, adding maddening delays to everyone's commute. How to make people long for the 15 minute city.
I was in London in August as was annoyed if not outright disgusted with how neutered they've become driving. It was surreal how tame and slow it was. And the traffic was absurd. Cameras everywhere. Free society my foot.
Same thing happening here in Montreal but we're not quite there.....yet.
But it's all by design. We have a councilman here who was caught on video admitting they want to make driving unbearable so as to get people out of cars. These people are social engineering ideologues.
Most people don't want this stuff but you have to toss out all the stupid politicians before things can get better. It can take awhile and in the meantime they can mess things up pretty badly.
It’s bizarre how many humans are unfamiliar with the concept of 15 minutes cities. Unfortunately, I suspect they also all align with the same political party. Damn, that rock can hide a lot of humans...
No wonder BRICS is taking off. Who in God's name gave these WEF psychos the right to decide how even our neighborhoods are to be run? They are complete nutballs. Not only have they appointed themselves to be the unelected, unwanted World Rulers but want total control over our lives in every detail. What arrogance. And they really are incompetent fools. But too dumb to even realize how incompetent they really are.
That's the one saving grace. These nutballs show up and make a total mess of everything and then can't understand why nobody likes them, even people who don't really understand the big picture.
Oh sure. People are just going to give up their cars and move closer to work. As if there aren't people who would like to do that anyway but can't because it's not usually very easy to change residence. I predict this will just lead to gridlock, not 15 minute cities. If people decide to move, they will move someplace where this garbage isn't happening, if that's possible.
The appropriate name for the 15 minute/smart cities should be concentration camps. The masters will squeeze many people into small spaces, easily isolated from each other. The suckers who volunteer to go there will think they are going to work. Communications with the rest of the world can more easily be cut, including road, air and electronic communications. Once the quotas of people are met, all food and water supplies can be blocked. Everyone dies in a relatively very short time.
Not only implementable but being implemented. Few people seem to be aware of them, and fewer yet are aware how their lives can go from "normal" to being enslaved or dead in a very short time, made possible by these cities. Here are some of the 15/20 min/smart concentration camps in progress:
Paris, France has about 50 operational 15-minute neighborhoods
Melbourne, Australia
Ottawa, Canada
Barcelona, Spain
Shanghai, China and numerous other Chinese cities
Cagliari, Italy
Quezon City, Philippines
Announced plans in 2023 to establish a walkable and sustainable community based on the principles of the 15-minute city, influenced by Paris's model2.
Smart City Initiatives often complement the goals of 15-minute cities:
Then think about what we have been told by the UN/WEF that we have to do to "solve" global warming, like stop farming, kill all cows (ending the cattle species), stop eating dairy, drive only EVs, etc.
Then take each SDG and think about how to achieve it. For example SDG 1 is No Poverty. The obvious solution is no people when no food is allowed. Eating insects is hardly likely to end poverty.
You can do this for most of the SDGs (not all) and the answer comes out No More People.
How do we get to no more people?
1. Total financial control through digital IDs linked to ESG scores in turn linked to a single centrally controlled programmable digital currency. The state will be able to confiscate all funds of every person at will.
2. Near total surveillance 24/7, inside and outside, by spy cameras, drones, our own smartphones, other devices, "neighborly" snitches, etc.
At this point we will all be slaves of those who control the means of production. (Is it possible that the programmers and AI usurp the total control from the politicians? ).
3. As total control is achieved, such concepts as smart cities might be used to isolate people from the rest of the world and massacre them by starvation, poison gases, military weapons, diseases and poisoned vaccines.
4. It may not even be necessary to use smart cities as concentration camps once the people are turned into zombie slaves.
Next we can look at more SDGs and reaching them:
Zero Hunger: No people
Good health and well being: Marketing tool
Quality Education: Marketing tool
Gender equality: Everyone is equal in death
Anyone can use the same way of thinking to apply it to the remaining SDGs, especially when the globalists talk about too many people on the planet and the need to reduce the number and some even talk about mixing mankind and robots to obviate the need for the human race.
Not very pleasant thoughts, but every one os in progress some places in the world NOW!.
Mao. Hitler, Stalin murdered over 100 million people. The globalists want to murder billions which is apparent from their goals. And for further evidence, just look at what WHO is trying to do to gain the power to "vaccinate" everyone in the world as many times as it takes to kill them.
Its global, in nyc they have stripped many roads and its been over a month and no signs of repaving, people are forced to drive at 5mph and cars are being damaged which are expensive to repair
As a cute aside, a Canadian architect told me about his associate position in Bermuda for a stint of foreign experience. On his first day of work he jumped on his moped, cranked the throttle open and headed for work. A mile down the road he got pulled over by a policeman. The officer ticketed him for doing 30 mph in the universal maximum of 20 on Bermuda. Ticketing in Bermuda required going before a judge to explain why you should be allowed to drive. So off he went to court where the architect gave the excuse that in Canada most people exceed the limit. The .judge explained that Bermuda is 6 miles end to end and so such a trip was a maximum of 20 minutes hence no need to speed above the limit. The judge was kind and let him keep driving.
Same thing has been happening in Toronto(Canada). Fastest growing city in NA. Reduced speed limits everywhere (goal of zero pedestrian and cyclist road deaths), advance pedestrian green lights, increased bike lanes, no-car streets, increased traffic cameras. The province of Ontario which has authority over the city (municipalities arise through provincial legislation) is stepping in to ensure traffic begins to flow again or at a minimum it does not get any worse.
I remember when cars first appeaared on public roads in the UK and they were deemed to be so deathly that a man with a red flag walked in front of all of these 4-wheeled inventions.
The speed limit was about 2 or 3 km/h with, reportedly, few if any casulalties.
A WetDream for our control-the-human-herd technocrats🤡 and Masters👿.
What they will do in the U.S. is make it unaffordable. Insurance rates and licensing fees will become almost impossible for anyone except for the elitists. It will be the same for home ownership. IF WE LET THEM!!!!
Here in Panama, maximum speed has been lowered on many roads and cameras will be monitoring speed- and other violators, emailing (and fining) them via OCR on the license plate.
In this case, the hidden issue might be that the epidemic of sudden deaths, especially of civil servants, already damaged BAU to the extent that many govt. services now have incredible delays or employ local services able to do the job (somewhat). Even the postal service in Panama fails completely. My case, a certified letter didn't even make it to the airplane and the postal service complaint dept is "dead".
Europe is all but lost to the anti-human socialists. The US, what's let of it, is the last bastion of possible resistance to fight these global retards.
I can see where the UK is a microcosm example of a 'test run' for the globalist policies but man, this will be a massively difficult sell here in the US, in all but the largest urban areas. our big metro areas have had residents who don't own cars, for decades; if you live/work in NYC or Chicago, it is both expensive and impractical, to own a car for many people. plus these cities do have extensive & decently managed public transportation (in general). that said...
I have seen these seemingly illogical road reconfigurations in my urban/industrial area (SE side of Chicago/NW Indiana). two lane roads turned into one lane & a bike lane (where few ride bikes) or strange new lane configurations that even the local cops don't understand. Roundabouts are all in vogue and our senior citizens have NO idea how to navigate them (my mom will go out of her way to avoid them!) they seem almost comical in an industrial area where huge semi rigs need to drive thru the tiny, one lane things! they often run up on the curbs, which then are in need of repair within a year or so.
however if you talk to someone like my oldest son, who is in local law enforcement, he will tell you that LPR (license plate readers) are the best innovation in policing, when it comes to successful prosecution - they can PROVE someone was at a specific location, in a specific time frame. but keep in mind that he is approaching the topic with a very narrow mind set, public safety and NOT looking at it as a surveillance against law-abiding citizens. for him, its just a tool to do his job and only to be used for that purpose.
outside of those parameters though, messing with our massive network of interstate highways in order to discourage car travel will be difficult. they will attempt to manage us with gas prices, taxes, social credit scores, etc. Limiting the car travel of American will be an uphill battle - I doubt even the most Marxist of politicians will be attempting that any time soon. it will be subtle 'carrot & stick', at least for the rest of my lifetime. I'll bet on it.
Bill Cooper talked about the degradation of the infrastructure as one tools the globalists use to demoralize the general public. 1991. He was killed by some county mounties in Arizona in 2001.
I was in London in August as was annoyed if not outright disgusted with how neutered they've become driving. It was surreal how tame and slow it was. And the traffic was absurd. Cameras everywhere. Free society my foot.

Indeed Meryl, all true!
It is raining traffic fines here.
I had to pay 73 euros for driving 108 instead of 100 km an hour on the highway Brussels - Antwerp.
My sister paid 400 euros in fines last month.
My cousin 300.
My daughter idem.
It is fines, fines, fines and traffic jams everywhere, every single day.
The quality of life here despite our high taxes is diminishing rapidly.
No wonder BRICS is taking off. Who in God's name gave these WEF psychos the right to decide how even our neighborhoods are to be run? They are complete nutballs. Not only have they appointed themselves to be the unelected, unwanted World Rulers but want total control over our lives in every detail. What arrogance. And they really are incompetent fools.

It's all about 15 minute cities, SMART cities.

Totally implementable scenario... this used to be the stuff of SF.

Tel Aviv, Israel:
For the USA, see https://www.perplexity.ai/search/where-are-15-minute-and-smart-Qr.J3tERRQO1S23KwFAt6w This list does not mention the Bill Gates smart cities in AZ, and I suspect that some are not being promoted as yet.
Thanks, that’s really informative! And fairly terrifying.
This is not even the tip of the iceberg. If you want to try a little experiment, take a look at the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) at https://www.myclimate.org/en/information/faq/faq-detail/what-are-the-sustainable-development-goals-sdgs/

This is patently rubbish.
This law was repealed in 1896 - which would make you approximately 130 years old.
The law was in place because cars were so unusual they didn’t know how they might affect pedestrians and horse riders. It was repealed within a year.
What they will do in the U.S. is make it unaffordable. Insurance rates and licensing fees will become almost impossible for anyone except for the elitists. It will be the same for home ownership. IF WE LET THEM!!!!
No wonder why all our insurance are going up!!
Now we have all figured it out together!
