Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Europe is the first region to mandate data retention in legislation with a clear deployment timetable and penalties for non compliance. Yet demand for data retention solutions is also growing in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East based on the desire of governments, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies to fight crime and terrorism more effectively. The United States is also expected to be a major market for data retention solutions very soon.

Records of e-mails and internet chat messages sent and received by Irish residents - and the times they log on and off the internet - will have to be stored for three years. The scheme will be implemented within a month.

Joel Johnston: Yesterday, I was invited to talk about gadgets onThe Hugh Thompson Show, a television-style talk show sponsored exclusively by AT&T for distribution on the online AT&T Tech Channel. I eventually did talk about gadgets, but in light of AT&T's shocking and baffling announcement of their plans to filter the internet, I thought that a much more interesting and important topic.
So that's what I talked about.
As you can see from the video, the crew ended up scrubbing the interview about half-way through. Figuring that might happen, I asked my steely-nerved friend Richard Blakeley to tape the first take.

Great video clip.
Watch the host flinch and hold is face when AT&T his first mentioned by his guest!
Also, of interest is how the audience very much agreed with the concept of not having their emails and personal data checked by corporate elites or government. This is irrelevant, as the only voice that will air on that show will be a one filtered by AT&T, their advertisers and their ex-security-analyst host.
