Mark Carney Shoots the Net Zero Fox at Davos
According to Prime Minister of Canada – and formerly governor of both the Bank of England and Bank of Canada – Mark Carney, the Communist Party’s tyranny of the Soviet Union was sustained by ordinary people’s acquiescence to the regime’s claims. In a speech at the World Economic Forum, Carney channelled Czech dissident Václav Havel, who observed that the benighted shopkeeper in the eastern bloc would put a sign in the window, bearing the slogan, “workers of the world unite”, but that “he doesn’t believe it”. The performance was intended to “avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along”. And so “the system persists — not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false”. The speech comes amid what appears to be a spectacular global chaos, which overturns much of what the WEF has long seemingly stood for. In the light of Carney’s previous speeches on the global stage, his latest is remarkable.
Carney wasn’t speaking primarily about the USSR, of course. His comments were directed towards the “rules based international order”, which now seems to be disintegrating with speed.

Very cheering, thanks Ben!
Enjoying the butt-hurt of these miserable specimens.
And Trump who made it all possible.
‘….prevented the closure of 17 gigawatts of coal-fired power last year. This had helped meet the energy-intensive demands of the AI-led boom in data centres…..Most of these coal plants were ordered to close, just like in the UK, for political reasons … Forget the rate payers, forget the risk of blackouts, forget the closing off of opportunity for new data centres or reshoring of manufacturing……We’ve seen a pretty large-scale deindustrialisation of Germany, of the United Kingdom, of Europe as a whole and obviously an over-dependence on Russia….I wouldn’t call that a green energy transition, I just call that a movement of industry.”
Britain has oil, gas, coal. This is not complicated.
yes and if we see why all that is being done it can be traced back straight to the UN and “Sustainable Development” which claims the wealthy West’s lifestyles are “unsustainable”, we have too much of everything and must make do with less, and that all starts with energy use. We are to get rid of reliable affordable energy and use unreliable unaffordable energy instead. Tragically our own political class are fully aligned, and only Trump is exposing them for being compliant UN lackeys
Carntard. With this tranny son. Failed BoE governor. Elitist. Globalist. Liar. Justin Castro II.
‘Rules based order’ – disappeared in 5 mins during the Rona plandemic.
‘Rules based order’ – does it include the various CIA coups in the Uketopia and elsewhere?
‘Rules based order’ – does that include endless wars and open borders? I don’t remember voting for either.
‘Rules based order’ – does that including Carnturd’s business dealings with Communist China and selling out Canada to China?
The Trump might enact 100% tariffs on Canuckistan. He maintains that China is buying the country. He is not wrong.
Take your ‘Rules based order’ and shove it into a mRNA and shove that up the dark side.
A bit of a mish mash there in your synopsis but I get it , well put in a round about way 👍 Carney is another foot in George Orwell’s Boot !
Whose rules and whose definition of order? What is telling is the vigorous opposition to any possible scrutiny of these ‘rules’ and ‘order’ that we are being subjected to. No questioning is allowed. Field Marshal Paulus surrendered German forces at Stalingrad so as to save lives. This was against the direct orders from Hitler to never surrender and fight to the death. Hitler created a ‘rules based order’. Paulus advised the following and every single one of these was/is forbidden or forcefully blocked when applied to the Wuhan Flu debacle, the Global Warming heist, BLM, LGBTQ, mass migration and open borders and globalism. “Even when you think something appears clear, question it and do not rest. Doubt everything that appears to be beautiful and true. Always ask yourself: “What for?”. Don’t think that one thing alone is good; straight is not straight and neither is curved curved. If someone says a value is absolute, ask them quietly, “Why?” Today’s truth may already lie tomorrow. Follow the river from where the torrent began. Isolated parts are not enough for you. Always ask yourself, “Since when?”. Look for the causes, unite and dissolve, dare to look behind the words. If someone says,… Read more »
Oh yes. All the things I have been boring my wife about for the last 9 years are finally in retreat. And the odious Carney revealing himself to be an opportunistic whore, and not the defiant pillar of integrity the grifters at Channel 4 News would claim.
Yes ,he’s been on a slow burner amongst the usual global suspects but he’s now shot up through the pack to a position where he can be called chief C U Next Tuesday amongst his charlatan chums .
To put it simply – he is a hypocrite of global proportions.
Or just a collaborator with whoever he thinks he needs to collaborate with —–He now has gone from phoney planet saver to Trump ass licker
he has definitely seen the writing on the wall for the next 3ish years of his powerful neighbour, and is aligning appropriately…
George Orwell comes to mind (again) when Carney tries to position himself as against the likes of the Soviet Union tyranny while pushing Climate Change and more, with exactly the same techniques used by the Soviets, or all tyrants for that matter.
In George Orwell’s 1984, the concept of holding two opposing thoughts simultaneously is defined as “doublethink”. It is the mental capacity to accept two contradictory beliefs,, such as “War is Peace” or knowing a lie is false while simultaneously believing it is true. This mechanism allows for the control of reality and memory, enabling the Party to maintain power.
ESG ——Scorecard Censorship. ESG doesn’t tell you what you must do or say. It just makes sure that if you do not align you will be classed as a risk. You will not get access to capital, contracts and even media coverage. In effect you will be ostracized. You will be unable to operate properly in the economy and some even have been debanked, eg Nigel Farrage, apparently because his “values did not align” with Lloyds.
A Chief Executive who doesn’t pronounce on his fears for the climate will be flagged as “non compliant”. Even if he does not say specifically he does not accept climate alarmism, he will still be in trouble for not endorsing it. The result is self censorship out of fear. There mus always be this ideological safety as part of company policy. They know that a bad ESG score can cost them millions.
Carney though like all eco tyrants eventually have to live in the real world. A real world that is being shown to be real by TRUMP, who is not prepared to be brow beaten into compliance by anyone and certainly not be phony planet saving technocrats at the UN and WEF.
“It’s physics. It’s against physics,”
That one little statement sums up the whole boondoggle.
Its been a ‘House of Cards’ that we were told was the only way to live in some enormous groupthink of the elites. Then comes The Don, who kicks the table leg, and what we were told was so vital and concrete lays scattered on the table top. The elites are left struggling to find their explanation for what just happened. Some will deny it, maybe for ever, but its over.
No wonder Gore booed and heckled the truth. Lies and deception have made him a very rich man and the thought of seeing his gravy train derailed is obviously disturbing him. Worth an estimated $750k when he ran for Veep, his net worth is now $300 million, thanks largely to carbon offset trading, a GW scam. He now also manages a $19bn investment fund. Not bad from his ‘humble’ beginnings.
A Czech not Polish dissident, who then became president.
The Power of the Powerless is the essay from which it came:

“In a speech at the World Economic Forum, Carney channelled Polish dissident Václav Havel”
Very sloppy and no excuse for not checking.
Vaclav Havel was a former President of Czechoslovakia.
As far as I can see Mark Cuntney has never done anything that has benefitted people. He was useless at the BoE having been appointed by the equally useless Tory tosser Boy George Osborne and allowed a post 2008 credit bubble to be created by failing to act on raising interest rates. And having been appointed PM of Canada he is in the process of selling the country to out to China and, quite rightly, Donald will not let the country be a backdoor into the US for goods – sound familiar regarding the situation with N Ireland?
“Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.”
Does he mean the EEC/EU of which he is (was?) such a huge fan?
““The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world,””
It was created to stop competition from outside and strangle it internally, to protect the interests of favoured private capital, and organised labour which would biggest donors of cash and electoral support to the governing elites and bureaucrats.
It has been most successful which is why the EU has a stagnant, uncompetitive economy.
Which way is the wind blowing – that’s his motto. What a creep and a damaging one at tghat. How well he has done for himself whiole wrecking havoc on everything he touches.
I believe he operates under the influence of a wife who is fanatically environmentally conscious. Marital control and influence can often be the hardest thing to overcome.
