The Pushback Goes Corporate: BMW Warns ICE Car Ban Poses Major Threat To European Automakers

 As the reality of EU and UK 'net zero' policies on authomobile manufacture and sales in the west starts to dawn on industry leaders, we see once again how China has played western leader for mugs, by paying lip service to their high minded but ultimately foolish and self destructive pledges on reducing CO2 emissions. While appearing to go along with the climate catastrophe scam and appearing to support globalist policies such as the transition to sustainable energy sources and the switch from petrol and diesel driven vehclies to battery powered forms of transport, China's government has positioned itself to control the market in battery technology while increasing its own CO2 output exponentially.

Now we see the first acknowledgement that while European car makers will not be able to compete in the Electric Vehicle market because they must buy essential raw materials from Chinese companies that also own the rival Chinese Electric Vehicle makers and will not be able to make or sell petrol and diesel powered cars because of politically motivated, virtue signalling bans on their manufacture and sale imposed by western governments.

The EU’s pledge to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars and vans from 2035 poses an “imminent risk” to Europe’s car manufacturers, which are unlikely to win a looming EV price war with their Chinese competitors, BMW chairman Oliver Zipse has told the Financial Times.

“I want to send a message: I see that as an imminent risk,” Zipse said.

The executive, however, said BMW was in a better position to compete with the Chinese manufacturers, most of which are targeting buyers of cheaper and smaller electric vehicles.

Yet, “The base car market segment will either vanish or will not be done by European manufacturers,” Zipse told FT.

European Union member states in March approved an emissions regulation under which the bloc will end sales of new carbon dioxide-emitting cars and vans in 2035.

The new rules target 55% CO2 emission reductions for new cars and 50% for new vans from 2030 to 2034 compared to 2021 levels, as well as 100% CO2 emission reductions for both new cars and vans from 2035.

The landmark deal was made possible after Germany – the biggest economy, the biggest car market, and the biggest car manufacturer – sought and won an exemption for e-fuels. Germany wanted sales of new cars with internal combustion engines if they run on e-fuels to continue beyond 2035, and it got that exemption.

The slump in exports of Germany’s auto industry to China in the first quarter of 2023 could be the beginning of a new long-term trend of “strong disruption” in German-Chinese trade as China’s EV boom accelerates, researchers at the IW institute in Cologne said in a report in June.

“There appear to be strong disruptions playing out in the automotive sector, especially regarding China’s increasing importance as an exporter of electric cars,” the report’s authors wrote.


The west is committing suicide, led by leftist voters who vote with their emotions rather than engaging their brains, and are utterly incapable of using logic, reason, economics and (most importantly) physics.

This knowledge and the whole Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset plan has been known for at least ten years yet it is only now, as the reality that globalism will destroy them, that German manufacturers are finally waking up? The whole west is being de-industrialized as you must destroy it all to Build Back Better.  Remember the words of Bond villain lookalike klaus Schwab,"You will own nothing and be happy".

Then consider this:

The Global Identity Project is designed to shift the global economy away from private ownership and into what the WEF calls an “access model” where you own nothing but rent goods and services from the world’s billionaires and billionaire corporations.”

15-Minute Cities Will Enslave the People

Blog/WEF

But some people are wise to it:

“Make no mistake, it’s not about your convenience, and it’s not about saving the planet. It will be a complete impoverishment and enslavement of all the people,” German MEP Christine Anderson said regarding the push for 15-minute cities. She’s right. The 15-minute city is marketed as a futuristic town where everyone will live within 15 minutes of all the services they will ever need. The globalists are promoting such cities as affordable, convenient, and virtuous as they combat climate change. The truth of the matter is that these cities are reminiscent of the Jewish ghettos during World War II or the Japanese internment camps in the US. They are designed to contain and control the people and inhabitants or should I say 'inmates' who will need permission from a government official to leave their assigned zone, even for a short period.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) claims that Paris will soon become a 15-minute city, and Milan and Melbourne are also running pilots to test this design. Every street will have a bike lane as it will be easier to reduce our access to cars. Reducing our access to personal vehicles will reduce our ability to travel outside of our 15-minute enclosures. Everyone will work within a 15-minute radius, their children will go to school within this 15-minute radius, and there will be no “need” to leave. The problem here is that they have the power to prevent people from leaving.

As Anderson said, we have seen that governments can easily implement climate emergency lockdowns, coerce people into taking unsafe medications and destroy the lives and careers of those who do not comply.

  “The looming existential threat of climate change and worsening income inequality require us to urgently rethink our existing cities, and rapid urbanization makes it imperative that we create a new and better city-building template for cities to house future city dwellers,” the website for the enclosures states.

Since governments have made homeownership completely unaffordable to many, they are marketing “accessory dwelling units” (ADUs) under 1,000 sq ft as a viable alternative to housing. They claim this will solve homelessness as well since we will all be completely equal. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY.

The government will choose where we live and how we live. The globalists want us to rely solely on government, a government that they hope will be a united one-world unit. The majority will be the “have-nots.” The few elites at the top will prosper on their puppets in their doll house towns who they can play with like Sim characters.

Reason suggestd that the globalists will fail because they omit to take into account human nature, but unless a lot more of us start to push back har and soon, stopping them will only be achieved with blood on the streets.

On the other hand it might be the ideal car for paedophiles who want to go cruising for jailbait.

AI experts are increasingly afraid of what they’re creating
In 2018 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Google CEO Sundar Pichai had something to say: “AI is probably the most important thing humanity has ever worked on. I think of it as something more profound than electricity or fire.” Pichai’s comment was met with a healthy dose of skepticism. But nearly five years later, it’s looking more and more prescient. College professors are tearing their hair out because AI text generators can now write essays as well as your typical undergraduate ...

Will The Online Safety Bill Protect Free Speech Or Assist Censorship?
The UK Online Safety Bill is presented to parliament for its final reading next week. Secretary of State for Digital Culture Michelle Donelan announced this morning that the controversial “legal but harmful” clause has been removed and thus free speech has been protected. Anti self-harm activists and groups opposinthe Gay BLTQ movement's push for paedophile equal rights and the sexualisation of children don’t like it one little bit, though free-speech enthusiasts should take no comfort from that. The Bill puts into legal jeopardy anything that creates “a material risk of significant harm to an appreciable number of adults in the United Kingdom”.
