According to Bloomberg, a string of economic and societal turmoil is actually a net-positive in meeting global climate emissions. The outlet ran a headline earlier this month that reads: “South Africa Beats Climate Goal as Blackouts Slash Emissions.”
Here is what Bloomberg published:
South Africa is ahead of its target for cutting emissions of greenhouse gases.
Output of the climate-warming gases from the world’s 14th-biggest emitter is already falling even though its Nationally Determined Contribution, a target adopted by the cabinet in 2021, only forecast a decline from 2025.
Regular breakdowns of the coal-fired power plants that supply more than 80% of South Africa’s electricity mean that less carbon dioxide is being pumped into the atmosphere and daily rotational cuts of more than 10 hours a day are further limiting emissions from factories.
It’s unintentional. We reckon we are well within the range of meeting the 2030 target.
Crispian Olver, the executive director of South Africa’s Presidential Climate Commission, said in an interview in Johannesburg on Monday.
SEE: Agenda 2030: You’ll Own Nothing And Be Happy
South Africa aims to reduce its emissions to between 350 and 420 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030, bettering a target set in 2015 of emitting between 398 and 614 megatons by that date. The 2021 goal was key to South Africa securing pledges of $8.5 billion in climate finance from some of the world’s richest nations.
If the decommissioning dates of some coal-fired plants are pushed back it will make little difference to emissions as they produce little electricity in any event, he said.
Keeping them open for another “year or two is neither here nor there,” Olver said on an earlier webinar.
It’s very difficult to recommend the decommissioning of power stations in the middle of an energy crisis.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
1 Samuel 24:13
I mention this article because it demonstrates how sick and psychopathic these climate cultists and elites are, and what these climate agendas are really about.
It’s all about starvation, death, subjugation, limitation of movement, disease, penury, and more of the such like. When they talk about “decarbonization” and “degrowth,” remember this report in the back of your mind.
[24] He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; [25] When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. [26] Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Proverbs 26:24-26
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

So, they”re basically saying that the leadership & managers of South Africa are so inept (or evil) that they can’t or won’t keep the grid up & people died….but it’s all good anyways. A serendipitous thing. Because some powerful men think there are too many people anyways & look for excuses to ‘cleanly’ & indirectly kill people by proxy? They just call it what they want to call it (like the father of lies & spirit of disobedience they serve) & voila….it’s a ‘victory’ nonetheless.

The power grid is precarious in most all the countries of the third world, communist & fascist & other universalist ecumenical Catholic corporatist controlled, as they are. Folks can call the fault on that ‘American’ if they want to, but that doesn’t make it so anymore than calling myself a ‘Christian’ apart from the word of God, truth & the power of God, or association with Rome, her god-men and god-making, ritualism & craft makes me a Christian. (….let alone a JEW).
–
Rank & file Americans gave their sweat & blood to build a working infrastructure that’s more difficult for them to crash, burn & replace here than are found in other places in the world, & America’s still more resilient & resistant to tyranny than they thought as a result. And plenty of men risked their lives thinking they were fighting for the liberty of God’s word & the freedom indeed of Christ to go forth as soldiers, coming to their senses late in life, gradually having their eyes opened by time & experience, being given & continuing in the word to freedom indeed.
–
I remember churches where it was all fake, and the ‘missionaries’ there were jokes. Psychologists, social workers, get-rich-quickers who love adulation and such humanist antichrist things, salesmen & entertainers with their arts & schemes. But I was also blessed by the annual Missionary conferences & the quiet sobriety, caution & joy of the missionaries to Africa for a few years in a church that had not so long ago been a strong King James Bible-believing, independent in polity (at least until Sen. Dole’s ‘deal’ to the separatist evangelical leaders which only a few men like Greg Dixon stood against, or even tried) congregation, a place in which the transformation & false fornicating union was still mostly lying hidden & dormant behind the scenes, coming in through the young poisoned by the critical theory humanist Catholic universities which used to be Bible colleges & schools.
–
These men & women went out to the field before the new versions swept in & corrupted many with their leaven, & in their obedience & active waiting, watching, serving, suffering, etc they missed ‘the change’. There were often question marks & confusion in the eyes of those folks as they navigated the ‘new America’ and ‘churches’ on furlough, seeing & hearing things which were shocking for the eyes & ears of those not slowly brought to temp & boiled in it as frogs.
–
I know it’s a devilish tactic, this three steps forward & two steps back dialectic of dumbing down & demoralization, of wearing down, of wearing out, the people of God keeping the word….and ‘not growing weary of well-doing’ is another verse which doctrine has also pressed hard on me, but until just recently I really hadn’t seen how ‘wear’ & ‘weary’ relate in meaning.
=
I know this verse following relates specifically to the time of Jacob’s trouble & to the antichrist as he deceives, unites & heads the world’s antichrist empire….but I know also that ‘all scripture is profitable, useful…’ to us in all times.
–
Consider: he shall ‘wear out’… Daniel 7:25 KJB And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

This below doesn’t mean being a doormat or a world savior, world changer, ‘hero’ etc as the self-righteousness puffing, flattering & blinding of the social justice Catholic humanist corporatist communitarians’ twist on it.

Galatians 6 (the number of man & beast, & look at the context of that chapter), & 9 (fruit: the harvest, the inheritance we’ve earned….or Christ has earned& freely offered us; & that good fruit which we can only bring forth by the grace & power of God & his word, believing his word, honoring his authority & recognizing his righteousness & holiness, coming to faith, walking in the Spirit).

Ga 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I was privileged to meet, & I remember & will never forget those sincere & proven missionaries who walked a fine line due to all the political & legal games that come into the Romanized & lawless churches, while loving the Lord & serving his people, facing off with real terrorism coming of Rome, so-called ‘revolutionaries’, Islam, & all the many manipulations of the wealthy, powerful & cunning. Other than preaching the word of God constantly, they were a quiet & different breed. Quiet. Solid. Not deceived by the fluff n stuff, big talk & philosophy.
-.
Those serving in India had the same air about them, with some of them, as among those serving in Africa, bearing the marks of persecution whether ‘white’ or ‘native’. And those serving in South & Central America where the Ratlines & political empire games reign supreme. I will never forget the shock of the young man raised on the field in China either, as it dawned on him that the same spirit as had schmoozed, used & deceived the Chinese people with its false promises & progress of the Google…was alive & well in America as well: the supposed source of Christian hope & help.
–
Learning the hard lesson of Solzhenitsyn….and of every Christian who takes their eyes off of the word & Christ according to the word to walk in the flesh rather than the Spirit, or God forbid: of those who never enter in, but who turn from & refuse to love the truth, trying to make/craft/build their own ways back to God.
–
Most, but not all who go into ministry, cave to Rome’s deals offering ‘big money’ and ‘peace’ for ‘fruitful’ ‘ministry’ (wink, wink) if they’ll just bend to leaving out any & all Rome-and-Laodicea-incriminating preaching & parts of the Book. It really doesn’t matter which antichrist order or arm of MYSTERY brings it: Rome & her spirit head & work through them all. A wealthy Mason, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, shaman, wiccan Rainbow lesbian or sodomite, Balaamite ‘succe$$ guru’ w/ his ‘Christian leadership’ & ‘Christian psychology’ etc etc: any such quietly influential in the background of the community, & co-agitating globally & in shared purpose with Rome, Jesuit or otherwise, in concordat & submitted to Rome & her spirit, will do.
–
And many never make it out of the Bible seminary faith cemetery, & so are neutralized, neutered, knocked out of the ring, even earlier.
–
It is these who need to be challenged & exposed, & with all sobriety as the final verses of Jude remind us. We need God’s word preached & posted everywhere, for that is where the only hope and power of salvation change for eternal life is found, revealed, evidenced & preserved of God.
Quick. Powerful.

Don’t forget where the Lord saved you. What he brought you out of & through by the word of his power & grace, sustenance & provision, light unto our way & life. 2 Corinthians 5 KJB.

We don’t want to put out smouldering flax, or to discourage the struggling, weak or young & immature, untried & inexperienced, but to fan it to flame. To strengthen the weak knees & lift up the hands that hang down.

Our sword & rod is the word of God, the full canon. See also Ephesians 10 KJB.
Ex 17:9 -16 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
Ex 17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Ex 17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Ex 17:12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Ex 17:13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Ex 17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Ex 17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
Ex 17:16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

So, they only get away with these things until all things done in darkness are revealed. Just more falling away & great delusion.

The couple serving the people & independent native churches of Kenya were childless. An amazing couple from the backwoods of West Virginia, she would wait & pray in a dark, cheap motel room in Nairobi…often-times with threatened pastors’ family members or children. Reading & praying & teaching the word of God to the young; why he traveled & met with the men, preaching & teaching. So much mystical garbage…and Rome either deceptively placid & sanctimonious on the surface as she courts the ‘ohm’ crowd, or full of mumbo-jumbo presumption & teaching ‘experience’, occult knowledge, ‘disciplines’, Craft and ‘technique’ as she courts the profane & carnal. So humble, quiet & gracious they were….just plain folks. But I felt very small in comparison, & very privileged because I was giving up hope such people existed in reality as the Lord let us walk through the mess of the churches these past few decades.
–
Now I was realizing it wasn’t all me, that lack of fellowship or communion with many church people whom I’d assumed would be light years beyond me in Bible knowledge & practice……or struggling along with those disarmed, mutilated and sorry excuses for Bibles wondering why I was getting nowhere in my relationship with the Lord despite being so busy, & why the changeable word left me flat, dissatisfied, restless despite the change in my life coming of older, more faithful & King James Bible & Gospel preaching & tracts from my youth.
–
What of those coming up today? Who will tell them? They sure don’t make it easy as the Devil ties them up in bondages, fear and lies as that old Accuser & the flatterer of men’s vanity urges men to skip directly to evil surmising or blind acceptance & yoking with anything without that crucial & required ‘proving’ step…..but were you a smooth, receptive pussycat when your own sins were being called out, exposed & convicted?
–
I sure wasn’t.

There was another young man. Family man. Probably from Mississippi or Alabama, northern Florida. He was serving in Zambia. Pre-covid. Like those who saw the ‘transformation’ when Google & the globalists had sufficient control & surveillance infrastructure in China, when the gloves came off & the mass disappearances of brethren & loved ones occurred overnight after a long deception of ‘tolerance’ and ‘progress’, I’m sure they were aware of some of the political shenanigans, the mines & atrocities as they labored pre-covid ….but the shock of the actual sell-out & betrayal, the externally quiet covert coups busting out into the bloody open showing themselves for what they are…
–
The man was tired & under obvious strain, yet with that quiet joy & intensity of those called into real, biblical church-planting & -building ministry. He preached from Philippians 3 & told of his son’s 6th birthday & wanting to do something special for him in the family, being busy in ministry & service, serving together from early ages & within & with the family as a body wherever possible. They searched to find American style ice cream & cake, & planned a big surprise. But the precarious power situation resulted in the fridge going out overnight & unbeknownst to anyone (a common occurrence)…..& the big, sloppy pile of sticky, fly-covered yeuck in the same old semi-darkened, humid heaviness of their cheap rented home that confronted them in the morning hit them hard at first. Was it even worth it? The old romantic humanist view of missionary & pastoring work dies hard before the reality of how wicked mankind, & our very own hearts, can be.
–
They all cried a bit, then felt foolish for weeping over such a small thing, & realizing the many blessings & provisions that they, even as poor missionary Americans, enjoyed while the native population largely did without, or shared what they had. Not all come to the sophisticated political, economic & medical knowledge some of us have been confronted by, but they’re not necessarily fools or sell-outs for all of that.
–
He shared how he came to realize the problem was with his ‘dream’ & his ‘expectation’ of what being a missionary/pastor was all about. It was with his romanticization of it in classical humanist fashion, & not with the reality & the actual promises of the word, remembering that our hope & work done truly for the Lord is never in vain.
–
So they shooed the flies & slurped up the ice cream laughing & crying together while that man preached a sermon beyond the ken or experience of most of the people in attendance at that meeting. So convicting. So holy. Hard for privileged Americans kept carefully coddled & in the dark…kept like mushrooms & slaves, prostitutes & concubines, rather than as people & free souls created in the image of God, even fallen. Tempted & lured, not even realizing it while their leaders spoiled & robbed them blind through philosophy & tradition, cunning craft & deceit, the easy path of non-resistance: ‘I’m okay, you’re okay’……no ‘letting’ or foolishness of preaching while the wresting reasoning & puffing of men’s vain imaginations & proud hearts drawing followers to themselves is going on…
–
If that’s all there were, it would all be over….but the gates of Hell & death shall not prevail, & so long as there remain such & us & the word in the world….we have a commission & purpose both higher, and beyond the ken of, those who have no sure word, no sure foundation & no good future.

‘One little word’ & we go up. And, ‘one little word’ from the Word & saviour & author of life shall fell the antichrist, the nations & all who go against the Lord and Word. Maybe he’ll just say, ‘Die,’ giving those truth- & God- denying & -hating people over to the spirit of their desire, to share in the inheritance & fruit of the first self-corrupted & fallen, that old fallen cherub & father of lies there from Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, and Genesis 3&6, 11-19; Job 38; Revelation 11-19 KJB. Eternal bitterness & death.
