On September 23rd 2025, President Donald J. Trump strode to the podium of the United Nations General Assembly and delivered a speech bold and uncompromising in its excoriation of the fictions hoisted by the elites of the collective West -- 'a world without borders', 'man-made catastrophic climate change'. In a world awash with sanctimonious platitudes about mass migration and climate change, Trump dubbed them the two forces “destroying a large part of the free world”. Directing his remarks to his hapless West European allies, he said: “You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you’re going to be great again. … This double-tailed monster destroys everything in its wake, and they cannot let that happen any longer.”
With characteristic bluntness, he declared the global climate change movement as “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world”, a multi-trillion-dollar scam foisted upon nations, economies and ordinary people by a cabal of self-serving elites, bureaucrats and green ideologues. This was no mere rhetorical flourish — it was a gauntlet thrown at the feet of the globalist establishment, a rallying cry for reason and a defiant stand for energy realism. This time, there was no sniggering from smug German delegates as had occurred during a previous speech Trump gave at the UN in his first term.
Drawing on the fearless spirit of the honey badger, as energy analyst David Blackmon aptly describes him, Trump’s speech was a root-and-branch repudiation of the climate industrial complex, exposing its contradictions

Magnificent work.
For a more reasoned approach than that of Trump (of whom I am a fan) – can I recommend the recent Triggernometry You Tube interview with Kathryn Porter entitled Net Zero must go. Good stuff.
What makes me so angry is a still captured media failed to report any of the factually based, honest truth about the Climate ‘Crisis’ propaganda. We are denied the truth, with genuine information ignored if not actually suppressed by the gutless or traitorous media.
Nobody denies the climate does change from time to time and for thousands of years whilst tiny numbers of people were living in cave.
The other point he made, again with solid evidence is the huge damage open borders is inflicting on ordinary people.
Most of the media were desperately focused on the broken lift and the broken autocue to even bother reporting what the orange man was saying. Not a big fan of the man but the truth is the truth.
The Net Zero nonsense and open borders are doing huge damage to democracies across Europe.
Every time our great President takes a step forward, he takes two back. Why oh why did he allow Larry Ellison to buy tik tok? Larry is the man helping kier with the digital ID. Why did our President ask Blair to oversee Gaza, the same guy who told us Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? It is not like President Trump does not know these things.
Jeff Childers say the president is playing 5D chess. Time will tell.
Maybe he’s aiming to send our ‘special envoy’ to see the ‘problems’ in Gaza first hand.
Brilliant!
Remark about the photo: One could call it unwise to publish a photo of Trump with his right arm in this position as this will certainly cause some (probably German) ‘antifascist’ to claim he was doing a Hitler salute, as was also claimed about Charlie Kirk.
With modern AI being able to manipulate photographs and conjure an image up out of nothing I’m sure those who chose to do such things don’t need a real photo to work from.
Congratulations, Mr. President. But you still need to solve the problem that your domestic political opponents control large parts of the world through organisations they (jointly with Churchill) created for this purpose and that the so-called government of the so-called western allies of the USA aren’t really free to make their own decisions. That’s why the Green party in Berlin renames streets to atone for discrimination against black Americans in the USA.
Bring it on, Don!
Finally, someone in real power saying what I’ve said (in one way or another) for the last thirty blooming years!
Now we need him to dare to declare what anyone who has really been paying attention knows about events since October 2019. I won’t hold my breath.
Such a gigantic scam will need a lot of dismantling. Too many people brainwashed and too much money at stake. At least the cracks are appearing!
Thank you Sceptics.
We need him to delete all US green energy subsidies in one go. Their federal government is due to shutdown over funding at the end of the month, now might be an excellent time to do it.
Compare the NetZero scam with religious indulgences:
Indulgences can be anything from good works and charitable acts to prayer and pilgrimage. During medieval times, however, they were abused and corrupted into a moneymaking enterprise. Throughout the 11th and 12th centuries, the Christian belief in purgatory – the place in between heaven and hell where souls are purified through punishment – grew and intensified. Believers wanted to avoid ending up there at any cost.
The machinery of NetZero laid bare. Merely substitute heat pumps, EV vehicles, expensive power as the equivalent of good works and charitable acts, prayer and pilgrimage
Trump speaks common sense from the heart. Starmer speaks nonsense from somewhere else.
And Miliband? Who pays him to speak?
Miliband is an AI project gone awry. His policies aren’t really his own and everytime he opens his mouth, only pompous sounding terms arranged in a manner that they it seems they really must make sense despite they actually don’t, emerge. Eg, green energy superpower. Electricty has no colour and no rearrangment of the domestic energy supply in the UK can cause it to have any power over others. Why not plastic carrier bag tax superpower?
Whoever has their hand up his backside at the time?
I truly hope so but, I suspect that the climate communists will simply
Double down. There are a lot of them and they are deeply embedded in our state apparatus. They are deeply inside the civil service, whispering lies into the ears of stupid and ignorant politicians like Ed Moribund.
We have to hope that Trump keeps going at this, and making life difficult for the climate communists, and that, hopefully, Vance becomes the 48th president and so keeps this crushing assault on the climate commies and the evil left communists in general. We need another 8 years after Trump to fully undo what the communist filthocracy have done to the west.
For many, it is the immutable truth, and they will never give it up. I was working in a school yesterday, and the wokery and authoritarianism on display is just horrifying. It is full on indoctrination of young minds. 8 years.? More like two generations.
And Local Government is infested with this web of lies.
Indeed. They even pat each other the back and give each other prizes at awards ceremonies. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/25490847.oxford-climate-awards-2025-fantastic-experience/
I love the comment left on the Oxford Mail: “Did taxpayers fund this? Have we paid for this jolly jamboree? Who authorised this to go ahead?” Another jamboree paid for by the taxpayer.
And they are defining themselves completely by opposition to Trump. If Trump said apple pie is good, they’d be getting the kids to make posters about the evils of apple pie.
While I agree with you that they’ll keep trying someone in trumps position calling it out will make it harder and harder to do so…
With the state of the world and (probably?) Vance to follow who’s going to continue this line it’s going to be harder for countries to continue the renewable or we’ll all die approach
Once investors start losing money in renewables and head for the door the renewables industry could collapse pretty quickly. Preserving ones money is more important than green ideology.
Maybe it needs a court case and conviction of a govt bigwig (mad Millibrain?) to topple the climate exifice and bringing it crashing down. It certainly needs a public awakening.
I am in full agreement. Trump’s admin is like a ‘transplant’ and bodies (Washington, Brussels, London) reject transplants! The ‘climate industry’ is well and widely established – it will react. We need more people to open their eyes on our side of the atlantic and more governments who share Trump´s common sense on/against this scam. And definitely more time; at least another similar mandate in the US. What can each of us do? Spread this message at any opportunity available; exactly like with the covid scam.
Trump speaks common sense and truth. Hydrocarbon energy is renewable, it is abiotic, it has nothing to do with rocks (fossils) and is cheap. It is in essence natural and ‘green’. Bird choppers, panels are not ‘green’ and are made, erected, operated, backed up with hydrocarbons.
Green money laundering is what the Climate Con is about.
Hallelujah!!!
Amen
And this doesn’t mention the enormous resources needed to build each and every Wind Turbine. Each one has an enormously wide footprint to stop it blowing over in strong winds. Truly mind-boggling!
And they only last 10-20 years before they need replacing. When all the costs are factored in, they’re far more expensive than fossil fuels!
