The Extermination Plan

Oligarchs are waging a war on the working class!  Elon Musk has made it clear to everyone that the oligarchs own our government!  “So, what do the billionaires want?”  asks Bernie Sanders.   Here is what I believe the billionaires want! And it is not good news!

Billionaires and the super-rich have all the resources to fully enjoy this ecologically diverse amazing world.  Why let the pending climate catastrophe destroy it?  Even just one of these super rich individuals could have financed the elections of climate concerned politicians in every House and Senate race!  Yet not one did!  In fact, many of the super-rich financed politicians who do not believe there is a climate disaster happening!

Are the super-rich just ignorant or do they have another plan?   No, the super-rich are NOT STUPID!

Trump is now following the “2025” project by creating an unofficial advisory taskforce “DOGE”.  Trump has put Elon Musk in charge of “DOGE”. Musk’s crew of cypher techs have illegally obtained access to hundreds of millions of people’s sensitive private income tax, social security and medical information.  Trump and Musk are deliberately trying to fire 10’s of thousands of federal employees, closing federal agencies especially those in watchdog and security roles, withholding funding midstream of existing programs. Trump and Musk are effectively causing massive confusion and disruption in our government.  When this happens in many other nations controlled by oligarchs, usually a war or other horrible event is about to happen!

Some 5 years ago, many scientists were giving us about 10 years to seriously address climate change and keep the global temperature from increasing 1.5 degrees to avoid an irreversible climate disaster.  The situation now is worse than it was expected.  The human population, now nearing 8 billion, cannot continue to grow indefinitely. There are limits to the life-sustaining resources that the earth can provide. To sustain the projected population at a decent living standard, we might need 3 Earths by the year 2050.  Resource availability and climate disasters are worsening!  

AI, computers and robotics reduce the need for human contributions to society. The super-rich now consider most people to be totally unnecessary or in truth “people are just like bugs”.  The Super-rich now effectively control our government!  What will they do to solve the pending climate catastrophe? 

The Extermination Plan    I believe the super-rich’s plan is to eliminate 5-7 billion people to solve the pending climate catastrophe!  Probably with a deadly virus that is fast spreading, slow to notice but then 99% deadly!  There will probably be a vaccine; one for the chosen ones and one for the rest of us! Thus, the problem of climate catastrophe is solved effectively overnight!  How soon, I do not know probably within the next 4-5 years! 

What We Need   National Climate Catastrophe  Emergency Act.   Demand politicians take action now on Climate Change to save us!

Wright, Ann  Peace Activist – former Army Colonel and foreign service officer

Updated 2024-08-30

Ann Wright- Wikipedia    A retired United States Army colonel and retired U.S. State Department official, known for her outspoken opposition to the Iraq War. She received the State Department Award for Heroism in 1997, after helping to evacuate several thousand people during the civil war in Sierra Leone.

Wright is one of three State Department officials to publicly resign in direct protest of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Wright was also a passenger on the Challenger 1, which along with the Mavi Marmara, was part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. As of 2024, she is a member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Wright

2023-12-20 Former Army Colonel Ann Wright Condemns Israeli Weapons Sales at UN     While testifying about the evil of weapons sales and transfers, their devastating human toll, and the evil of military-industrial complexes, former colonel, U.S. diplomat, and now Veteran For Peace Ann Wright turned her testimony into a condemnation of Israels unconscionable Gaza mass murder and devastation into an appeal for a ceasefire – NOW!   Transcript https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtJg-nGM_w0

2023-12-03 Ann Wright – Genocide in Gaza, Freedom Flotillas, & The International Campaign to Save Gaza     Long-time, dear friend, Col. (ret) US Army and former State Department diplomat, returns with an update on the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Ann presents a different take on the outcome from other analysists. She insists Palestine must tell the world what its solution is and not America, the EU or others. She’s a member of the International Campaign to save Gaza, https://savegazza.com/  the US Boats to Gaza https://usboatstogaza.org/  

and the Freedom Flotilla Coaliltion https://freedomflotilla.org/2023/11/24/ffc-joins-save-gaza/    To get involved, you can donate here https://www.nonviolenceinternational.net/donate_ffc    To follow the Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal  https://www.nonviolenceinternational….   https://rumble.com/v3vhyka-merchants-…    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RanjAxJkgsE

2021-10-12 “The common thing is that no one wants war” – Col. Ann Wright (ret.)    Ann Wright is a former colonel and foreign service officer who resigned her commission in protest of the second U.S. invasion of Iraq. After decades of a career in international diplomacy, she raised her concerns about U.S. foreign policy and met indifference. She now devotes those honed skills as an experienced diplomat to directly advocate and promote international peace. She is also the co-author of “Dissent: Voices of Conscience.”

“I thought, well, I cannot be a part of what I know is going to be a horrific, horrific bloodbath in Iraq. And not that my resignation will make a bit of difference, but at least I won’t be a part of it. I won’t have that on my conscience. And so, I ended up resigning.” https://couragetoresist.org/podcast-ann-wright/

2018-07-18 How Ann Wright, Former US Army Colonel and Diplomat, Became a Peace Activist     From the Freedom Flotilla in Naples, Italy, Colonel Ann Wright explains her commitment to Palestinian rights  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVy3SNtqTgw&t=87s

2014-07-21 Col. Ann Wright to Israel: ‘Stop the Massacre of Innocent Civilians in Gaza’     Representatives from the “Veterans for Peace,” a national organization, staged a demonstration Monday in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. Its purpose was to deliver a letter to Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S., Ron Dermer. Before trying to deliver the letter, Col. Ann Wright (U.S. Army, Retired), read its contents in front of the entrance to the embassy. Col. Wright is a member of the Veterans for Peace and also a former official of the U.S. State Department. She resigned from that position rather than endorse the immoral and illegal Iraq War. 

Col. Wright, speaking on behalf of the Veterans for Peace delegation, demanded: Israel “stop the slaughter of the innocent civilians in Gaza.” She labeled it: “a clear violation of international laws of war and human rights.” She added: “More than 500 Palestinians have been murdered almost all of them civilians, nearly a quarter of them children…stop the massacre now!” Col. Wright had a special message for Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. She said: “You can bomb the world into pieces, but you cannot bomb it into peace!”
