What unites people from all over the political spectrum in one voice? What brings the lead singer of an alternative rock band to march in solidarity with a spry determined grandma? It’s the realization that something is very sketchy; that one’s political leaders have been bought and pocketed by a wealthy few, and that one’s hometown has been prostituted.

Oxford, England is one town which has been the scene of such a grassroots movement, as residents and business owners came together last year to stand against 15 Minute Cities.

What is a 15 Minute City? 

What’s not to love about a town in which everything is within walking distance of fifteen to twenty minutes? Who would object to spaces committed for the preservation of pedestrian-only traffic, in order to lower pollution?

Perhaps had citizens had a say in their government’s abrupt decision to remove parking spaces in front of downtown businesses and replace them with bollard boxes and other barriers, people may not have reacted so strongly. Perhaps if the council had bothered even to tell people that these transformations were in the works, the shock may not have been so great.

Perhaps had footage not been leaked of plans to eliminate vehicles altogether by 2030, citizens may not have come out.

As it happened, without warning, locals found their towns metamorphosed in such a way that parents could no longer pick up their children from school as before.. Shops were inaccessible except via an arduous walk, and so long-standing restaurants shut down.  A nurse interviewed told of resigning her job because the clinic was no longer feasible for her to reach thanks to “Net Zero” measures. Worse, citizens learned that owning a gas or diesel vehicle at all could incur penalties, and yet no charging stations for EV’s were being installed. (Some citizens interviewed objected as well to the hazards posed by Electric Vehicles and the environmentally unfriendly process to manufacture them)

Moreover, locals were told that they would be fined if they wished to “leave” more times in a given year than their “pass” permitted. Cameras set up to capture license plate numbers and tally how many trips individuals made across town were installed to ensure compliance.

All this has taken place in various towns across the United Kingdom. But plans for 15 Minute Cities are being rolled out across the globe in conjunction with local leaders, including in Fort Myers, Florida and Portland, Oregon in the United States, along with portions of Milan, Barcelona, Melbourne, and Paris.

Who’s behind it?

For anyone who has read 1984 and is alarmed by strains of something akin to Big Brother in these proposals, the BBC was prepared to gaslight the non-compliant with the conspiracy theorist label (The BBC, one should always remember, was the same news outfit that on 9/11 announced the fall of the third tower, World Trade Center 7, while it was still standing, glimpsed in the background behind the anchorwoman. It did fall, only later that day).

Despite the BBC’s name-calling, this time, too many are awake.

It’s worthwhile to check out this insightful interview with two women who spoke up at the town council meeting for Colchester in Essex, England after learning there were plans to phase out all personal vehicles by 2030.

They point out that governing authorities were not able to give an actual definition of a climate emergency when asked, nor were they able to articulate a response when asked for evidence for the claims made by the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change). Yet they were already implementing drastic measures to “combat” that which could not be defined.

These two ladies from Colchester went on to explain that the very concept of a town having every amenity within walking distance has become a paradox for the reality of what they’re seeing. “They’ve put in so many no-park zones, that they’ve started to kill the town,” one explained. “We’ve lost every single department store. How can you have a city without a single store? …Everybody I know that lives there, including myself, will drive twenty minutes elsewhere because we hate it.” Which, they added, counters the idea of zero emissions.

The concept of 15 Minute Cities is a top-down, global initiative introduced by Michael Bloomberg, Boris Johnson, and Carlos Moreno in 2004 under the C40 Cities International. The long-term plans involved in achieving their so-called Sustainability Goals include, by 2030:

• no passenger planes flying out of one’s country
• no ships leaving or transporting exports
• Wood-burning stoves banned and removed from people’s homes
• Gas burning appliances ripped out of homes and no longer available for purchase
• No automobiles
• VPNs outlawed so that internet privacy is a thing of the past
• No more meat or poultry produced or consumed
• Universal Digital IDs with all medical records and banking information stored and accessible by the governing authorities
• Personal information will be data harvested and sold to stakeholders
• Facial recognition will be used to access personal information
• Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is to be in place in which every transaction is monitored
• Drone technology exponentially increased to set up surveillance state on all citizens

Essentially, said Sandi Adams in a viral speech to the Glastonbury Council, “people become commodities for a wealthy, elite oligarchy.” Adams left the Green Party, she testified, after realizing it was simply a pawn in the hand of Globalists.

“People become prisoners of their own countries – and in the case of 15 Minutes Cities, their communities – a reinvented ghetto in which permission must be granted to leave and enter.”

Edmonton, Canada to be a 15-Minute City

This boots-on-the-ground perspective from someone living in Edmonton, Alberta poses serious questions to the idyllic bowling greens depicted in photos and animations being marketed by the corporate media. A native writes:

“They are planning a 15-minute city here. There are problems with this: – neighborhood bus stops have been eliminated in many areas, making it almost impossible to get around. Seniors and disabled people are now stuck in their homes, without a way to get around. – there are only a few hospitals in the city so getting to a hospital can cost you your life in an emergency when ambulances are not available and you cannot get a taxi because of cost/availability/no phone service, etc – transit safety is a huge issue with the frequent attacks on innocent passengers and bystanders with inadequate policing available – we have winter conditions here for more than half a year so walking and riding a bike (even for athletic people) is nearly impossible, and sidewalks are not navigable by disabled people.

– most jobs are usually the furthest from your home as they may be the only jobs available – rents are often higher than mortgages in some areas so sharing rental spaces of convenience for travel and close convenience for work/shopping is not an option – many businesses we relied on for our livelihood closed down during Covid and have never returned – our mayor and city council are trying to discourage car traffic but they get $1200/$600+ respectively each for their own transportation costs monthly

– schools are not centralized here. Elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities are in various areas of the city so getting a family of kids to school on time cannot be realistically undertaken, while still getting to work on time – light rail transit takes decades to plan and build. Houses have to be torn down in order to build it. The previous mayor told me it would take 50 years until I could get to work this way. I would be dead before it was ever realized. So… I don’t think it will easily work here. I guess we will see what happens now as it’s being forced on this awkward city.”

“It’s coming at us like a railroad train”

The whole dystopian plan is tied up in the Climate and Sustainability goals of the United Nations, partnering with the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Do we believe the UN has humanity’s best interest in mind? Can we examine their track record outlined in my previous post, and ask ourselves why those who comprise the global oligarchy are obsessed with depopulation, and how they plan to achieve their goals of seeing less people on the planet?*

Citizens of Oxford, Colchester, Shrewsbury, and other towns in the United Kingdom are on to the elite power grab and taking a stand. They are raising awareness. But as Sandi Adams pointed out ominously, “It’s coming at us like a railroad train. We need to do something and do something now.”

And tyranny, someone said, is like a bad zit. Just when you think you’ve gotten rid of it, it pops up somewhere else.
