Deep dives
Ching-Toh Show in Latin America with Greenwash Financiers
A scheme led by prominent venture capitalists aims to exert foreign influence across Latin America by monetizing protected areas through carbon credits. Localities in Latin America are targeted to turn their regions into carbon credit-generating sites controlled by a private consortium, risking reshaping the local ecosystems.
Reimagining Debt Load with Multilateral Development Banks
Efforts to entrench the debt load in Latin America involve multilateral development banks and dollarization at the sub-national level through carbon markets supported by a digital ledger. Similar to IMF strategies, the reimagined financial system is set to capitalize on nature by monetizing protected areas.
Dystopian Surveillance System in Latin America
A sophisticated surveillance apparatus tied to American intelligence is being imposed at local levels in Latin America, under the pretext of fighting climate change. This system threatens privacy and civil liberties, paving the way for extensive surveillance under the guise of progress.
Global Turf War Between Western Powers and BRICS
The push for economic destabilization in Latin America signals a larger global turf war between Western powers and the BRICS nations. This strategy aims to strengthen the dollar's dominance with dollar-denominated stablecoins, positioning the U.S. financial system for greater control.
Surveillance Hell and Resistance Against Digital ID
The implementation of a surveillance apparatus, linked to AI and digital IDs, poses a grave threat to privacy and freedom. Advocating for resistance against digital IDs, the narrative emphasizes the need to reject compliance with pervasive surveillance to safeguard civil liberties in the face of authoritarian overreach.
Agents of Wall Street, the defense industry, Silicon Valley and other powerful interests are working under the radar to persuade municipalities across Latin America to essentially sell off control of vast swaths of public lands for use as carbon credits. The claim is that the land will be protected while also generating income for these communities. Except that, not surprisingly, the powerful interests driving these efforts have far more nefarious reasons for wanting to control Latin American rainforests.
Author and investigative journalist Whitney Webb explains to Jimmy the interconnectedness of this carbon offsets power grab with vaccine passports, digital currency, and mass surveillance.
Plus segments on the likelihood that a so-called “smart” border wall will add a new and even more invasive wrinkle to the burgeoning security state and New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s insulting comments about black children.
