Lockdown 2.0

Timothy Birdnow

The International Energy Agency is calling for a lockdown of the whole world in what many are calling "lockdown 2.0" and it looks amazingly like what we got during Covid - and what the Gang Green and the other crazy liberals (but I repeat myself) have long sought. In this case it's to conserve energy because of oil disruptions caused by the Iran war.

They want work from home. They want the imposition of mass public transit with private vehicles being severely restricted. They want everyone to replace gas stoves with electric. They want an extra day off work. They want reduced speed limits on highways.

Sound familiar? No mention of masking but they'll get around to that eventually. They can't push masks now, not while ICE is wearing them.

All we need is Greta Dumberg, er, Thurnberg to show up and hector us about how we are destroying the planet.

This program seems to be the Left's reaction to any stimulus.

Oh, did I mention they want to limit air travel too. Did Chuck Schumer get this memo from them maybe? He's doing a fine job of THAT!

I would add we've tried this program on any number of occasions and it was just a disaster. Richard Nixon tried it and I remember waiting in long lines to get ten gallons of gas with my father. This as much as anything led ultimately to the disastrous economic "malaise" of the later seventies, this program which was premised on the theory that conservation will see us through. Peak oil was a big shibboleth back then and we were told we had to be trained, to get used to a future with little oil and gas. (You may remember in the late seventies the movie Mad Max came out and that was a big part of the film - the struggle to obtain gasoline.)

So these hippies keep trying to bring back the "swinging seventies". I just saw a clip of Jane Fonda encouraging people to go to the "No Kings" rally "it's fun". These dimbulbs keep trying to relive their misspent youths.

Maybe we should hold a protest of our own, and call it "No Queens". Somehow I suspect the gay lobby wouldn't like that at all.

At any rate it's the same old song and dance. And if they fail to get a lockdown 2.0 they will try, try again with different issues. But this is what they want. They think this will "reduce our carbon footprint" but more importantly it will keep us all in our homes where they can control us. It was and always has been about power.

Doubt that? Well, the IEA is not suggesting this as a voluntary policy but asks member nations to do it via "regulations and mandates.” aka FORCE their citizens to comply.

That is the program, it's always been the program. This is how you get the Great Reset and implement the New World Order.

1 No way are we gonna lockdown! Got too many things to do.

Tim, I remember Nixon's price controls, but I think your memory is wrong; it was Carter's policies that had us queued up for gas -- and had the gas pump meters kicked up as high as they are now.

2 Dana, I seem to remember going through gas lines in '73, which would be under Nixon. He DID impose price controls and rationing during the Arab oil embargo. But certainly Carter spiked the prices up through the roof.

3 Well, in '73 you may have been having some issues in Missouri. I don't remember any issues with gas in Buffalo then. I remember a problem with the price controls because I'd received a promotion to a whole different job at that time and my people waffled at giving me the raise I was supposed to get. I retaliated by spending only a year at the new job and flew the coop to a different company.
