To this end, Oxfordshire County Council, which is run by Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party, wants to divide the city of Oxford into six ‘15 minute’ districts. In these districts, it is said, most household essentials will be accessible by a quarter-of-an-hour walk or bike ride, and so residents will have no need for a car.
On the surface, these 15-minute neigbourhoods might sound pleasant and convenient. But there is a coercive edge. The council plans to cut car use and traffic congestion by placing strict rules on car journeys. Under the new proposals, if any of Oxford’s 150,000 residents drives outside of their designated district more than 100 days a year, he or she could be fined £70.
Do not leave your allotted zone, at least most of the time – that is the policy. ...www.spiked-online.com...

Woah this is straight up District 13 (2004) [dystopian French Parkour action film]. Paris slums divided into 13 walled off and heavily controlled urban districts. Government trying to wipe out entire district conspiracy plot. Anti-organized crime / anti-drug vigilantism gets you into all levels of problems schtick. Starring the man that literally invented Parkour, David Belle. Killer soundtrack. Etc. They even did an Murican remake starring Paul Walker as the cop, set in Detroit. Which is alright movie actually, but nobody ever noticed it is my impression.
Trailer:
One of the killer Parkour scenes:
Yeah, James Bond without his guns and gadgets, aint getting that guy. Especially not if he shows up to his apartment tower. He'll have a broken leg and collar bone in the end, trying to catch him!
Great movie. You can watch it free with ads (not a Rick Roll link I swear lol):
www.youtube.com...
(But its not the English dubbed version)
It has a good sequel too. Worth watching them again every year, and its been a few for me actually.
Anyways, to prepare to survive in the future, better start practicing Parkour!

The Zeitgeist Movement. Remember that one?
...
The argument driving the whole thing though, the appeal, is ABUNDANCE! And I mean they get pretty specific, like even to the tunes of no one really owns anything but somehow still has everything. Which sounds so much to me like some of these Klaus Schwab WEF tidbits I've been getting around to noticing lately (i.e. "you dont own anything but you're happy").
Will lose their doubts, and the torrents of their cravings will be cut off: free from all misery they will manage to cross the ocean of becoming; and, as a result of Maitreya's teachings, they will lead a holy life. No longer will they regard anything as their own, they will have no possession, no gold or silver, no home, no relatives! But they will lead the holy life of oneness under Maitreya's guidance.They will have torn the net of the passions, they will manage to enter into trances, and theirs will be an abundance of joy and happiness, for they will lead a holy life under Maitreya's guidance.
... And the key to "saving the earth" is by wholesale total global economy creation of Artificial Scarcity.
The Zeitgeist Movement's main premise is money is fake. Which it is.
Bless the light! So few realize the absolute abuse this vital concept has undergone!
I believe this is one of the hooks which snared many a conspiracy theorist into accepting the zeitgeist message as some kind of beacon of truth.
...
Problem is, the actual world is nothing like a blank slate.
Therein lies the problem. The architects think they can succeed in decimating what exists to create their utopia. So the rest of all that has been, and wherever our path might lead, we are no more than fodder for their "do-over." Ever see a child, angry with the state of their drawing and snatching the paper up, crumbling it into nothing... what they propose is like you drawing something and someone else snatching it up and crumbling it.
These are the same people that have been indoctrinating us to "not want children." Like they never asked themselves, "Who is going to save us - all the old men?" We need children.
...
Just for my part, I would like to offer a caution. Do not for one second believe that they are winning. They are not. They have already begun to fall on each other (get your popcorn ready.) It is part of the plan that they tell you and all of us, that they have won, or are winning. They are not. There enterprises reek of desperation. They are demonstrably "in a hurry." Bad sign for them.
The imagery and noises from their face holes will say one thing... but reality will ring its truth regardless. We need no revolution... all we need to do is wake up - everything else will fall into place - and we can get about improving the human condition, without their "efforts" to control us.
But no matter how hard they try, it's never going to work.
I whole heartedly applaud that sentiment - never let them tell you "This is what you think."edit on 12/7/2022 by Maxmars because: formatting - dang it!

Dig!
So, if composting the Greens is how to deal with them, whats the word for likewise 'dealing with' those carnivore factions?

I feel like we are standing at a key moment in the human saga ... We are a part of an unbroken chain of ancestors who endured so much so we can be here and now ..... No one is coming to save us .... We are it ..... Our ancestors endured wars ...famines plagues .....natural disasters and cataclysmic events .... And they survived ...we are living proof of their strength and courage and will power ... And now it's our turn to ensure the chain lives on
We are the hopes and dreams of our ancestors.... Me must ensure that dream does not become a nightmare....

So for it to even be a notion that might be. Here on this planet. "The world" has to be wiped out. Politically. Economically. Socially. Culturally. Psychologically. Religiously. Racially. You know, all the forms of War that come before actual guns, bombs and bandages. This lot is so hell bent on this game, they've even one-upped it and twisted it into sexually, and yet ever more perversely, 'genderly'.

Did you notice that the 15-minute city is not just in local Oxford table ? It`s in WEF and the UN web sites , so if it is there, it to me means they are cooking allready something..
The surprising stickiness of the “15-minute city”
The 15 Minute City
Hopefully you are right, that it would be just controlling cars, but i am afraid that they really have sinister plan, and want to build new blueprint for lockdowns..
C40 is also driving the idea forward

The Venus Project proposes a circular city plan that would utilize the most sophisticated available resources and construction techniques. Its geometrically elegant and efficient circular arrangement will be surrounded by parks and lovely gardens, which will be incorporated into the city design. All cities will be designed to operate with the minimum expenditure of energy using the cleanest technologies available, which will be in harmony with nature to obtain the highest possible standard of living for everyone.
The city is divided into radial sectors and circular belts. The circular scheme offers maximum efficiency, bringing each radial sector closer to the central dome. People traveling within the city could easily return to the same place from where they started without having to take the same route back like in most linear cities. Only one part of the city is designed and replicated eight times to form the entire city using far fewer resources than conventional methods.
Joseph was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1979 and attended the University of North Carolina and The New School.[4] In 2009, he founded The Zeitgeist Movement, a self-described "sustainability advocacy organization". It was originally started as the "activist arm" of an organization called The Venus Project, launched by Jacque Fresco in 1994. In 2011, the two organizations separated.
