To direct attention away from them a new narrative had to be shoveled out of Flop26 and that is "climate change." If people haven't recognized it yet, "climate change" (gibberish being published in top scientific journals) is being swapped out for economic growth, but there can be no growth without more magic money creation. How is printing more money going to solve "climate change?" It won't. The central bankers are at the end of their "fairy dust" magic money creation era and "climate change" is their last resort.
These central bankers and their corporate henchmen meeting at Flop26 (see The Idiocy of COP26) think they can "solve the world's problems" with big numbers like tossing $6 billion here and $3 billion there. In fact, the more the magic money the central bankers spew out, the worse "climate change" and global hunger will become. Try buying an 8oz steak for anything less than $120 in the coming years? The entire system including food production and supply chains are collapsing because of the massive amounts of magic money being injected into the commercial warfare financial system.
We as a society and people cannot allow this to continue becoming imperative we must create new institutions and organizations that benefit us. These central bankers and their proxies who attended Flop26 are insane maniacs. They are claiming to be "solving problems" when they vomit out their diatribe at their elitist summits with big smiles on their faces when they are doing the same thing that destroyed our future in the first place by creating an endless supply of magic money. Who does this magic money creation benefit? These same people and multi national corporations.
Klaus Schwab with the WEF's "Fourth Industrial Revolution" (4IR) and these "stakeholders" digitizing all of existence building virtual realities through social media platforms like Facebook (Meta is just a change in business model) building its "metaverse" will require cobalt. Cobalt is used in almost everything connected to this technological and digital drive to build this 4IR (net-zero emissions) including in magnetism (magnets), animal feed, pigments (drying agent in paints), medical industry, rechargeable battery materials (40% of cobalt production is used in batteries), metal alloys (cobalt is a metal binder because of its high boiling point), super metal alloys (stainless steel), catalysts and adhesives. Without cobalt there will be no 4IR green agenda with cobalt being a "strategic mineral" with military (engine and turbine parts) applications. Cobalt is a critical mineral that is going to be essential in this new "green economy" being slammed together by this central banking elitist crowd.
What industries are there in the Republic of Congo that have the capacity and intellectual property rights to use cobalt in industry related to its uses of this strategic metal outlined above? There are none. Yet, the Democratic Republic of Congo is the clear leader among the world's top cobalt-producing countries, accounting for more than 70% of global output in 2019. All the Congo can do is dig out with slave labor (get the kids to dig the cobalt out) the cobalt and sell it. They have no other choice. The only users of Congo's cobalt are huge multi national corporations working out these trade agreements under Flop26 to build their "green economy" including with Congo's slave labor mined cobalt.
Try powering up your smart phone without cobalt from the Congo so you can participate in this Flop26 "green economy" because of "climate change." The green energy lobby are keeping slavery and colonialism in place in the Congo. Trillions of dollars in magic money are being given to these limited liability (irresponsibility and lawlessness) corporations to pillage cobalt out of the Congo to build a "green economy?" This "green initiative" is being backed by "fairy dust" magic money. And we all know what that means. More force and violence.
Who are the WEF-discussed "stakeholders" in all this? The most powerful. Multi national corporations and their central bank authorized executives, so they get to set the rules on how Congo's cobalt will be mined and used in their "green economy" to "achieve net-zero emissions." And if the people in the Congo disagree? Then the application of violence will ensue.

Exploitation of Workers in DR Congo Taints Electric Vehicles
By RAID - November 7, 2021
New research released today reveals dire conditions, discrimination and extremely low pay at some of the world's largest industrial cobalt mines operated by multinational mining companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt is considered an essential mineral in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles (EV). Over 70% of the world's cobalt is extracted in Congo.
Demand for cobalt is set to explode in the next 30 years, as net-zero global emissions by 2050 are expected to be agreed at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. The acceleration of EV production is crucial for the transition to a low-carbon economy, yet it appears to be linked to serious labour rights abuses, as revealed by the new research at five industrial mines in Congo where cobalt is produced: Kamoto Copper Company (KCC), Metalkol RTR, Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM), Sino-Congolaise des Mines (Sicomines) and Société Minière de Deziwa (Somidez).
The 87-page report "The Road to Ruin? Electric vehicles and workers' rights abuses at Congo's industrial cobalt mines" exposes a system of widespread exploitation. Congolese workers interviewed for the research said they received very low pay and were subjected to excessive working hours, degrading treatment, violence, discrimination, racism, unsafe working conditions, and a disregard for even basic health provision.
Some workers described being kicked, slapped, beaten with sticks, insulted, shouted at, or pulled around by their ears. Others reported severe discrimination and abuse at Chinese-operated mines. One worker said, "Our situation is worse than before. The Chinese come and impose their standards and culture. They don't treat Congolese well. This is new colonisation."
"The mining industry's claim that large-scale cobalt mining in Congo is 'clean', 'sustainable' and 'free from the human rights abuses' is simply not matched by the reality," said Anneke Van Woudenberg, Executive Director at RAID. "Our research reveals that the cobalt destined for the batteries in electric vehicles is largely based on a system of cheap labour and the exploitation of thousands of Congolese workers."
The labour rights abuses are directly linked to an outsourcing model whereby workers are not hired directly by the mines, but instead are employed indirectly via subcontracting firms. Official figures show at least 57% of the workers employed across the five mines studied in the report are supplied by subcontractors. At some mines the percentage was significantly higher. Those interviewed for the report, including managers at subcontracting firms, said the multinational companiesdo so to reduce labour costs, to limit their legal liabilities and to prevent workers from joining unions.

Zuckerberg, is that smart phone you have loaded with cobalt? Wtf, Zuck, could you drop a few billion of that "fairy dust" magic money off on the Congo to build a few schools, roads and hospitals - and stop financing Biden?
