This is a passionate attack on the new global elite, a small group of people who have risen to the top of corporations and political parties, who have such a high opinion of themselves that they believe they are entitled to run the world.
President Carter's National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski expressed their worldview when he wrote of his ideal society, "Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. … national sovereignty is no longer a viable concept." The EU is their ideal, run by a clique of technocratic, unelected commissioners.
This "cartel of corporations, bankers and non-governmental organisations aided by progressive political leaders (the Davos set) is now running the world. … it is always advisable to follow the money: the investment bankers of BlackRock and Vanguard are sure to be at the commanding heights."
Members of the World Economic Forum (which in 2022 signed an agreement with the UN to accelerate progress on Agenda 2030), the Trilateral Commission (of which Sir Keir Starmer is a member) and the Bilderberg Group fund an array of bodies which promote their ideology. They promote climate alarmism: the Getty and Rockefeller dynasties bankroll the Climate Emergency Fund. Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil have major corporate funders.
They also promote the divisive ideologies of identity politics, transgenderism, and Scottish and Welsh nationalism. They want us to celebrate diversity and atone for colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade and perpetual prejudice. The earlier idea of assimilation would now be regarded as racist.
They want mass immigration, which is promoted by all the green parties. As McCrae comments,"The motives are not obvious, as cheap labour is a capitalist rather than ecological rationale."
They enthuse over the many ways that governments mishandled the pandemic, and push for restrictions on movement, as in the ULEZ schemes.
All this serves their globalist agenda. The UN's Agenda 2030 says that "Global citizenship is the umbrella term for social, political, environmental, and economic actions of globally minded individuals and communities worldwide."
The 2019 report Absolute Zero, commissioned by the Johnson government, stated, "... we'll only (!) have to cut our use of energy to 60% of today's levels. … zero emissions means that for some period, we'll all stop using aeroplanes. … we stop eating beef and lamb … the most difficult problem is cement: making cement releases emissions regardless of how it's powered, there are currently no alternative options available at scale and we don't know how to install new renewables or make new energy efficient buildings without it. … Steel sector: All existing forms of blast furnace production … are not compatible with zero-emissions."
As McCrae sums up, "The seventeen sustainable goals for Net Zero by 2030 would result in imprisonment on our island: there will be no travel by air or sea. Our homes will be cold and damp due to reliance on wind turbines and solar panels for heating." So, Net Zero would stop us travelling abroad, not leaving the EU.
On the war in Ukraine, McCrae observes, "While fighting rages to the east, Kiev is awash with money as BlackRock and other foreign investors plan the digital society. If Western leaders cared about the people of Ukraine, they would seek peace or at least a ceasefire. … But behind the scenes, Washington and Whitehall apparatchiks do not care about him [President Zelensky] or his people. Poland is building its armed forces and has become the closest ally of the US, whose ambassador in Warsaw is Mark Brzezinski, son of the late technocrat."
He points out that the war is not about the defence of Ukraine, nor about helping the climate: "The aim is not reducing fossil fuel use (think of all the pollution of tanks and explosives sent by NATO countries that simultaneously impose Net Zero policies on their own citizens). As a borderland between West and East, Ukraine will be used as a wedge to push the occidental new world order."
As he remarks, "Our leaders are pursuing the green agenda without the informed consent of voters (indeed, the same could be said of other major policies such as transgenderism and spending billions of pounds on illegal migrants and the war in Ukraine)."
In opposition to all this are the peoples of various countries, first of all, the gallant British people, whose decision for Brexit so shocked the complacent and arrogant elite.
As McCrae notes approvingly, those who voted to leave the EU took "a more critical view of official narratives, relying on their intuition, experience and cultural heritage rather than being swept away by the fashionable waves of gender fluidity and climate change alarm."
