Europe Resorts to the Carbon Indulgences Scam Again

by Tilak Doshi
11 April 2025 9:00 AM

Politico reported last week that the European Commission wants to keep the 90% emissions-cutting 2040 target by changing how countries calculate their progress. The EU – reeling from the backlash to its costly green policies – is proposing purchasing international carbon credits to meet its 2040 target of cutting its carbon emissions by 90%. The Telegraph reported that the UK Government plans to rejoin the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme carbon market that it left when Brexit took effect at the end of 2020.

A green-obsessed Europe and UK, busy deindustrialising with self-inflicted high energy prices, are faced with new challenges. They are intent on carrying on the Ukraine proxy war against Russia “to the last Ukrainian” in contrast with President Trump’s refusal to fund the protracted conflict and his efforts to negotiate peace. Germany is seeking to fund its defence requirements by exempting defence spending from constitutional fiscal constraints now that the trans-Atlantic alliance is fraying.

Wow!

We have waited a long time for someone in the Commons to find the backbone to make such a profound, well-researched and much needed statement. We now need the rest to check their offices to see if their backbones are hiding in a cupboard and if so drag them out and for once put them to use.

“the benefits of the vaccine are close to non-existent.”

“It is no surprise, when there is so much control by an entity (big Pharma) that has been described as ‘psychopathic’ for its profit-making conduct, that one analysis suggests that third most common cause of death globally after heart disease and cancer is the side-effects of prescribed medications, which were mostly avoidable.”

I suppose the likelihood is that the WEF puppets will duck and dive, go AWOL and hope that this speech will be forgotten by New Year, or engineer a suitable crisis to deflect attention elsewhere but the gauntlet has been laid down.

It is very rare I say this but,

Thank you Andrew Bridgen MP.

I have just had a trawl through the BHF website. Very concerned for its staff. Full stream bloody woke. Interestingly it has enjoyed a very successful Scamdemic:

  • Our net income increased by 148% in one year, from £57.2 million in 2020/21 to £142.1 million in 2021/22.
  • Our financial reserves amount to £285.8 million, representing a strong recovery from the disruption of Covid-19.

I cannot find where the income came from and it appears to be hidden within “donations and legacies.” How the hell did income increase by 148% in one year? It is difficult not to conclude that the additional monies must have arrived from the usual suspects – big pharma and Lord Bill, especially as they clearly divorced themselves from proper science with their readiness to adhere to the extremely dangerous ‘safe and effective’ narrative.

What a deplorable organisation.

From the Annual Accounts 2022 (chart, page 10):

The increase in net income principally reflected the significant bounce-back in retail trading, following the enforced closure through periods of lockdown of our shops and stores for much of the prior year and a record breaking year for legacy income.

https://www.bhf.org.uk/-/media/files/what-we-do/bhf-annual-report-2022.pdf?rev=cc73d5ab18314f8aa4d14440d4c320e6&hash=EE2F84E00B356C98419E65150702D68A

Along with increasing levels of poverty forcing people who didn’t before to use charity shops (big increase locally), perhaps the unusual and unexpected [sarc] increase in cardiac deaths is reaping benefits for them…

I am not sure “optimism” is the right word in this context. My very limited understanding of The Big Reveal is that it is part of the strategy of the Global Elites (Gates, WEF et al). In order to instil despair and begin the moves towards civil unrest, certain disclosures would be made, which would reveal the fundamental breakdown in the system… but I don’t understand any more about the strategy.

I am not sure even where I heard about The Big Reveal…

And let it not be forgotten that the constant clamour from every “opposition” party in Parliament has been for “Sooner, Harder, Longer.”

Joined by a majority, perhaps, of Tory backbenchers.

There are none of them that have not been allerted to what has been going on, by some of their own constituents.

You don’t need more than just a simple fact of conspiracy to cover-up to start investigation. if there is no link (between the jabs and heart inflammation), what’s the motive? the public has to know. Let’s hope that eventually something will come out of it

Kudos to Bridgen. An excellent speech despite the House being virtually empty (natch), and a couple of other MPs concurring with various points, needs to be spread far and wise. Also worth watching is Maria Caulfield MP’s rather rushed and scripted rebuttal – a truly classic example of The Narrative’s ‘jabs saved millions of lives/safe & effective’ BS plus other outright lies. Wonder how much she got for saying it. (From 19.25.22 – end):

I emailed him recently to express support. Imagine he feels pretty lonely. Interestingly his Wikipedia page is full of references to alleged corruption- no idea whether they are true or not and don’t care, but if true pale into insignificance compared to the Covid fraud.

you have to be courageous to go against the grain and to speak up. You have to be even more courageous to publicly admit that you were wrong. that’s why the House is almost empty.

A criminal investigation needs to be started, the offices of these institutions must be raided and incriminating materials removed and placed in the hands of independent investigators. When it is proven (as it will be) that data on the clear dangers of this poison have long been available and intentionally withheld, criminal charges must be brought against those who withheld these data – and particularly against those who signed off on and allowed continuation of the poisoning. The investigation must extend to the regulatory agencies who allowed this, with full knowledge of all the damage.

MPs must front run this – someone is going to carry the can for this, one day or another, in one form or another. The regulatory agencies, health care institutions and, of course, big p-harma itself are most at fault – hold them to account.

Many people who stopped at 2 or 3 shots thought they were okay after so many months had passed. They are now undoubtedly worrying whether they may yet join the ever-increasing group of ‘died suddenly’ ‘passed peacefully in his/her sleep’. People in this position, increasingly anxious, will also increasingly feel they have little to lose. Ignoring the elephant in the room that died suddenly of cardiac arrest is nothing other than sowing the wind…

Unfortunately, we cannot even trust our own police force to investigate – even when they are presented with irrefutible evidence. When it is demanded that they close down the vaccination centres and impound the ‘vaccines’, they protect the perpetrators and arrest those seeking to stop the harms continuing.

  1. They don’t care or/and
  2. They are knowingly complicit against the People

Covid hypocrisy and lying by western “leaders” continues relentlessly – as the likes of Trudeau, Biden, Arden, Johnson, Dan Andrews and other double-dealing tyrants condemn Putin and Xi Jinping while their behaviour is markedly worse. 
And still the dopey public, led by the nose by the likes of the BBC and Daily Mail/Telegraph, continue to fall for the scam.

Well done Andrew Bridgen and Danny Kruger in raising this vitally important matter, not just for the UK, but around the globe.
It’s devastating what the UK Boris Johnson government unleashed upon the world when it adopted the recommendations of Neil Ferguson et al’s Imperial College Report 9 in March 2020, i.e. to suppress the virus “until a vaccine becomes available”.
Vaccines were subsequently rushed out, despite the fact the virus/disease wasn’t a serious threat to most people – how did this happen, how was a ‘vaccine solution’ evaluated and approved?
It subsequently emerged that Neil Ferguson is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this serious conflict of interest wasn’t disclosed in Report 9.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been dominating international vaccination policy for years, and is a major funder of the World Health Organisation, as well as being instrumental in the founding of the Gavi Alliance and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also provided funding for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine trials.
Bill Gates was the leader of ‘the race for a coronavirus vaccine’ in 2020, see for example his GatesNotes: What you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine, published on 30 April 2020.
Why is this software billionaire dominating international vaccination policy, and having the likes of then prime minister Boris Johnson at his beck and call?
The grossly disproportionate and ill-targeted Covid response is a diabolical shambles.
The damage wrought around the world is immense, including in my country, Australia, where millions of people have been coerced to have the Covid needles, including children. Millions of people have been mandated to have the jabs, e.g. No Jab, No Job. 
Informed consent has been trashed, and personal autonomy and bodily integrity destroyed. Mandated medical interventions in a supposed free country, it’s a travesty.
This is the biggest crime of all time, bring on the investigation and the trials.

I’ve never once caught a glimpse of my MP in the House so don’t expect he was there to hear this.
The useless great lump is still promoting the boosters, even to those who are pregnant. He reckons the unjabbed careworkers were rightfully sacked, so no chance of an apology, reinstatement or compensation from his direction. (I tried)
I look forward to his defenestration at the next election, unless he takes the coward’s way out and resigns first.

All credit to Mr Bridgen for his stance in this unpopular cause; I salute him.

Exactly the same here. Ian Liddell-Grainger, shame on him, MP for Bridgwater and West Somerset. “Useless great lump” perfectly describes him too; has completely ignored perfectly legitimate pleas to open his eyes and look more closely at all or any of this, for more than 2 years. Utter waste of space and oxygen.
Hats off to Mr Bridgen.

Thanks for printing the Bridgen speech, which I watched because the whole of it was on John Campbell’s YouTube channel as well.

I have written to my MP (Andrew Murrison), who is himself an MD, underlining the importance of Bridgen’s speech, expressing my concern and asking why none of this seems to be being investigated by our (interest-conflicted public health bodies. I shall be interested to get his reaction (if any).

Well it’s taken a very long time for any of “our” MPs to dare talk “the vaccine narrative” down and expose the corruption at the heart of Big Pharma and the National Health Bureaucracies it funds.

Are Sunak and Barclay listening?

I doubt it. They daren’t admit that the Government coerced the population to participate in a mass medical experiment and has pushed dangerous “vaccines” on people who didn’t need them and as a result has injured millions and killed thousands.

It’s mind-boggling…
There should never have been a ‘vaccine solution’ for this disease it was known from the beginning wasn’t a serious threat to most people…but at the same time the threat was beaten up to justify the ‘vaccines’.
Billions of people around the world have been deliberately misled about this virus/disease, and been set up to be exploited by the lucrative Covid industry, created out of thin air.
In Australia, millions of people have been mandated to have the jabs, e.g. No Jab, No Job. In some states such as Victoria and Western Australia, life was made very difficult for those critical thinking people who refused to consent to the jabs, being cancelled out of civil society,
It’s been the most shocking experience of my lifetime, seeing how discrimination could be so easily implemented, and for people to be manipulated to turn on each other.
Rogue governments have facilitated this most egregious assault upon the people, how do we bring them to account
