Under the guise of environmentalism and conservation the powers that be want to tokenize everything, including nature. They want to “monitor, preserve, and enhance the natural world.” Just like they plan to enhance (control) humans through transhumanism, they plan to enhance (control) nature. They want to enslave both man and nature.
These elitists want to integrate blockchain technology into nature and market it as biodiversity conservation. They not only want to build the Internet of Bodies (people), but also the Internet of Forests (nature). They want everything to become part of the Internet of Things. They want to connect every living thing to artificial intelligence. This trans-human-ism and trans-nature-ism would commoditize every living thing. It would be the merging of man and machine; it would be the merging of nature and machine. It would be “a world where virtually everyone and everything is intelligently connected.” Dystopia anyone?
They are marketing this tokenization of nature as “an effort to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and species.” Snake oil anyone? If they tokenize nature, they can use nature as a financial instrument. They can then sell green bonds and derivatives based on biodiversity data. This data would be gathered via sensors, drone fleets (“swarm intelligence drones”), and satellites. Thus all the species of the forest would be monitored and data mined. They want to build an “AI-driven neural network for our planet.” They want a global AI network that monitors everyone and everything in real-time.
This system will require datafication of biodiversity. This means that they will need to create digital representations of all species and all ecosystems on earth. They want to commoditize everything. “Almost every core function in financial services will be transformed.” It’s good for the planet and good for business…buhahaha!
The scam: Carbon Markets! “Carbon markets are critical in helping the world attain net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions.” Carbon markets revolve around the buying and selling of carbon credits. These credits allow the buyer to emit a certain amount of pollution. “Carbon justice for all!”
“Carbon markets can be a powerful tool to help advance carbon justice.” – United Nations
Carbon trading was first introduced as part of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol’s carbon trading system was a major step towards establishing a global market for carbon emissions. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted as the first addition to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Kyoto Protocol has since been replaced by the Paris Agreement.
The globalists have also been talking about “carbon emissions trading schemes under which emissions credits would be allocated to adult individuals.” To bring about a personal carbon market scheme, they must introduce digital IDs and central bank digital currencies. Then they can introduce a Chinese-style social credit score system. They will tie your “carbon footprint” to your social credit score. Therefore, you’ll own nothing, and you’ll happily eat your bugs. You won’t have enough money to buy a carbon credit to leave your 15-minute city neighbourhood prison. But then again, climate lockdowns! By the way: you may want to breathe less, because they will carbon tax your every breath.
The carbon market is being introduced through public-private partnerships, which adhere to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. A low-carbon economy: degrowth. Degrowth is synonymous with poverty and depopulation.
Eventually, they will install a world leader over their new world order. Each individual will have to take this leader’s Mark (blockchain technology) in order to participate in his new world economic order. No one will be able to buy or sell unless they take his transhuman technology—the merging of man and Beast. If they receive his Mark, they will become one with the Beast’s AI-driven neural network. The public persona of this Skynet system will be the Image of the Beast. Those who refuse to take the Mark of the Beast and worship his Image will be enemies of the new world state. All such people will be hunted down and terminated—hasta la vista, baby. The new world surveillance state: you can run, but you can’t hide!
2 Timothy 3:1 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times will come.”
Now, for one of my favourite verses:
Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.”

Precarity and surveillance are not usually discussed together, but there are intimate links between today's liquid surveillance, datafication, and the precarity that characterizes contemporary living conditions—whether we relate these to questions of labor, global finance, and migration, or to conflicts over territories and resources. The combination of biopolitical and sociological perspectives in this keynote conversation aims for a critical analysis of new models of securitization. In the line of the stream, it asks how we want to secure ourselves, recognizing security as a basic human need and at the same time adopting a critical and deconstructive viewpoint. If insecurity itself is a new form of governance, how can people living in precarious situations resist exploitation and collectively realize alternative potentials from within the precarious state, and what new ethics of security can be collectively staked out?

Title: Speculative Carbon Cultures? Regenerative Finance and Climate Action
Research Question:
To what extent do the values and practices of ReFi activists intersect with blockchain technology to form, transform and disrupt dominant carbon cultures?
Goals:
•To determine the Regenerative Finance movement’s core aims, values and practices through interviews and analysis of key ReFi projects and organisations
•To evaluate the impact of the Regenerative Finance movement on global climate governance
•To develop a better understanding of how activists/citizens intervene in institutions increasingly influenced by datafied technologies
Background:
As we enter further into a phase of ecological crisis brought on by climate change, diverse groups are turning to new tools and technologies to support their visions for the future. One such group is the Regenerative Finance or “ReFi” movement, who use blockchain technology to support climate action. Members of these ReFi groups aim to redefine contemporary understandings of value, reconnecting economic value with ecological value. While many ReFi initiatives are focussed on improving carbon markets and broader socioeconomic structures, for the participants within these programs they are deeply personal. ReFi offers participants the opportunity to reimagine their relationships with energy and climate futures and support everyday participation in spaces that have typically been the remit of larger businesses and governments. Critics of ReFi, however, see that, instead of pointing towards new, more equitable and participatory futures, by prioritising market-based understandings of value, ReFi further locks ecological systems within capitalist structures of extraction.
This thesis draws on energy and carbon cultures literature to introduce the concept of “speculative carbon cultures”. Speculative carbon cultures hold a tension between two contradictory forms. On the one hand we have the speculative practice of imagining alternative carbon futures, creating change through new energy imaginaries. These speculative carbon cultures are open and may help to transform prevailing relationships to carbon and wider ecosystems. On the other hand, I reference the carbon cultures of market speculation, financialisation and datafication that have dominated climate governance to date. Drawing on a series of interviews with core members of Regenerative Finance projects globally, I argue that ReFi as a movement holds these two contradictory forms within itself, and ultimately the change-making potential of the movement may depend on which form persists.
Social Relevance and Impact:
Climate crises continue to worsen across the globe. Scientists predict that if the global mean surface temperature reaches 2.0°C higher than the pre-industrial period we will see catastrophic effects for both ecological and human systems (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2019). Despite this scientific consensus, and decades of attempted action, global climate governance has struggled to coordinate around this crisis, and carbon dioxide emissions have continued to rise (Stoddard et al., 2021). There have been multiple political, economic, environmental, technological, and cultural barriers to action. This research project uses the Regenerative Finance movement as a primary case study to understand how groups of citizens come together with emerging technologies to overcome these barriers. This is a vital contribution not only to academic scholarship, but to climate policy.
This research will benefit:
1.Citizen-activists who are attempting to intervene in institutions increasingly influenced by datafied technologies
2.ReFi participants who want to understand the strengths and obstacles of their movement
3.Climate policymakers who want to understand how emerging technologies might influence, support or problematise climate policy
4.Technology companies and developers (particularly blockchain developers) who want to understand the social and ecological impacts of their technology
Findings from the research have been shared publicly via a policy report commissioned by Intel’s Carbon Reduction and Green Software team: apo.org.au/node/321467
Further public research outputs are planned for 2023-24.

SustainableCities: A Collective Eclipsing
Curated by Imogen Clendinning
Brigitta Zhao, Philip Gurrey, Michelle Wilson, Theo Jean Cuthand, Danielle Petti, and Jessica Joyce
Exhibition: November 14 – December 5
Reception: Friday, November 22 / 5-7PM
artLAB Gallery
An eclipse is in sense, a collaboration between two forces, passing across one another from immense distances and meeting in a cosmic dance. In the works of Theo Jean Cuthand, Philip Gurrey, Jessica Joyce, Danielle Petti, Michelle Wilson and Brigitta Zhao, intangible collaborative dynamics play out in acts of creation; in processes of remediation, explorations of materiality, human and non-human relations, interdisciplinary exchange and the use of digital technology, artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure. The eclipse serves as an ontological tool to rethink relations between matter and maker, situating material as not a resource to be mined, but an autonomous entity with its own logics and priorities. These many eclipses rotate and converge between critiques of colonial extraction and pollution, the poetry of minerals, microplastics, corn and rust, and various datafications of the environment.
Partnering with the Free Appropriate Sustainable Technology (FAST) research group in Western Engineering, A Collective Eclipsing features 3-d printing technology and solar power, in a celebration of digital infrastructures that require collaboration between the Sun, the weather, the artist and engineer.
This project is funded by: Western Sustainable Impact Fund, Western Research, Society of Graduate Students, Western Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies, the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, Centre for the Study of Theory and Criticism, Office of Indigenous Initiatives.
This exhibition is presented by Junyu Ke's SustainableCities Connect Workshop which will take place in the Visual Arts Department on November 22nd, 9:00am-4:00p EST. Click here the register by November 17th.

SustainableCities: A Collective Eclipsing
Curated by Imogen Clendinning
Brigitta Zhao, Philip Gurrey, Michelle Wilson, Theo Jean Cuthand, Danielle Petti, and Jessica Joyce
Exhibition: November 14 – December 5
Reception: Friday, November 22 / 5-7PM

An eclipse is in sense, a collaboration between two forces, passing across one another from immense distances and meeting in a cosmic dance. In the works of Theo Jean Cuthand, Philip Gurrey, Jessica Joyce, Danielle Petti, Michelle Wilson and Brigitta Zhao, intangible collaborative dynamics play out in acts of creation; in processes of remediation, explorations of materiality, human and non-human relations, interdisciplinary exchange and the use of digital technology, artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure. The eclipse serves as an ontological tool to rethink relations between matter and maker, situating material as not a resource to be mined, but an autonomous entity with its own logics and priorities. These many eclipses rotate and converge between critiques of colonial extraction and pollution, the poetry of minerals, microplastics, corn and rust, and various datafications of the environment.
Partnering with the Free Appropriate Sustainable Technology (FAST) research group in Western Engineering, A Collective Eclipsing features 3-d printing technology and solar power, in a celebration of digital infrastructures that require collaboration between the Sun, the weather, the artist and engineer.
