This isn’t just about fixing potholes; it’s a Trojan horse for bigger government control, rooted in the climate alarmism scam and globalist agendas that want to track and tax every move you make. The tax threatens not only to impose significant new costs on working families but also to usher in an era of unprecedented government surveillance and control over individual mobility. As the state explores methods like GPS tracking and odometer reporting to enforce the tax, this could be the first step toward broader restrictions on movement—fuelled by global climate agendas and the push for “15-minute cities.”

California’s Per-Mile Tax – The Globalist Plan for 15-Minute Lockdowns

Outrage is sweeping across California as drivers and Republican lawmakers push back against yet another Democrat scheme: a per-mile tax that could hammer motorists every time they get behind the wheel. Facing a massive budget shortfall and with more Californians ditching petrol for electric cars Democratic legislators are desperate to plug the gas tax hole they’ve created. Remember, Californians already face the nation’s second-highest fuel prices, just behind Hawaii. In January, the average price at the pump was a staggering $4.23 per gallon, according to AAA. Yet, last Thursday, Democrat Lori Wilson’s AB 1421 bill sailed through committee, aiming to have the California Transportation Commission and state Transportation Agency extend their “study” of a mileage tax, keeping the threat alive instead of shelving it. The backlash is building: on Saturday, activists gathered at Cal Expo in Sacramento to rally against a wave of new Democratic tax grabs including this per-mile extortion plan. The numbers are chilling proposals range from two to nine cents per mile. With the average Californian driving about 11,400 miles per year, that means a hit of $228 to $1,026 annually on top of everything else. But it’s not just the money the system will morph into a logistical nightmare and a surveillance state, tracking every move you make under the guise of “fairness.”

California’s per-mile tax branded as a “Road Charge” or Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) fee isn’t a new idea, but in 2026 it’s accelerating fast. The latest push came with AB 1421, advanced by the Assembly Transportation Committee just days ago, extending their “pilot” program all the way to 2035. They’re testing rates from 2–9 cents per mile, which for the average California driver (around 11,000–15,000 miles/year) means $220–$1,350 in new annual taxes on top of existing gas taxes, registration fees, and everything else Sacramento piles on. This is sold as “fair” because electric vehicles don’t pay gas taxes. But let’s be real: the state forced EV adoption through mandates and subsidies, tanking gas tax revenue, and now they want everyday drivers to foot the bill. Let me tell you what this is; incremental socialism, gradualism. First, they push the climate hoax to kill internal combustion engines, then they tax the miles you drive to “save the planet.” It’s classic problem-reaction-solution: create the crisis, then offer the tyrannical fix. This ties directly into globalist agendas like UN Agenda 2030 and C40 Cities restricting mobility to control populations.

Privacy Invasion: Government Tracking Your Movements

To enforce this, the state needs to know your mileage. Options from pilots include odometer readings, plug-in devices, or full GPS tracking. Even “privacy-protected” methods require data collection—potentially sharing location history with government or third parties.This is Orwellian overreach. Why should law-abiding citizens submit to constant monitoring just to drive on roads we’ve already paid for multiple times (gas taxes, registration fees, sales taxes)? It opens doors to abuse: variable rates by time/location, or even restrictions on where/when you drive under future “climate emergency” pretexts.

The Financial Assault – Why This Tax Crushes Working Families

More Taxes, Less Freedom

Bad policy always boils down to bad economics. California’s gas tax is already among the highest in the nation at over 61 cents per gallon. The per-mile pilot pretends to “replace” it, but Republicans like Assemblymember James Gallagher and Senator Megan Dahle rightly point out: nothing in AB 1421 guarantees the gas tax goes away. History shows government never gives up a revenue stream—they just layer on more. Estimates peg the hit at $900–$1,200/year for typical drivers once fully implemented. Rural Californians—who drive farther for work, groceries, school—get hammered hardest. Urban elites in San Francisco or LA barely notice because they drive less. This is regressive taxation disguised as progressive policy. And the tracking? Some pilot options use GPS plugs or phone apps to log miles—and potentially locations. That’s not just a tax; it’s a surveillance infrastructure. The state claims “privacy protections,” but we’ve heard that before with Digital ID and vaccine passports. The argument that its for the infrastructure maintenance does not hold because roads should be funded efficiently. California already collects billions in gas taxes, sales taxes on vehicles, and weight fees. Where’s the money going? Bloated pensions, high-speed rail boondoggles, and green slush funds. Fix spending first don’t tax freedom.

The Climate Hoax Connection – Manufactured Crisis for Control

Fake Environmentalism as the Trojan Horse

The entire justification for this tax rests on the lie that human-driven CO2 is destroying the planet. California claims gas tax revenue is falling because of “cleaner” EVs—but they mandated EVs! They banned new gas car sales by 2035 and subsidized EVs for the rich. This isn’t about emissions; it’s about behaviour modification. Tax driving enough and people drive less. Drive less, and you stay local. That’s the bridge to 15-minute cities. The climate agenda is a globalist Trojan horse. Look at the World Economic Forum praising 15-minute cities as the future. Look at C40 Cities (which includes LA and San Francisco) pushing meat/dairy limits and “three new clothing items per year” targets—all tied to restricting travel. A per-mile tax makes long trips prohibitively expensive, pricing rural life out of existence and forcing urbanization. This bogus climate “science” funded by the same elites who fly private jets to Davos and Climate conferences. Real pollution like industrial waste matters, but CO2 is plant food. This tax isn’t saving the planet it’s saving the control grid.

The Real Goal: Pushing Toward 15-Minute Cities and Restricted Mobility

The Globalist Endgame: Restricting Freedom of Movement

15-minute cities sound benign—“everything you need within a 15-minute walk or bike ride.” But in practice, it’s lockdown architecture. Oxford, UK, already trailed traffic filters fining people for leaving their zone too often. Paris and Melbourne are doing the same. California’s per-mile tax is the economic enforcement mechanism. Make driving 30+ minutes cost a fortune, and suddenly staying local isn’t a choice—it’s mandatory. Tie it to digital IDs, carbon wallets (already piloted in Europe), and you can’t even visit family without government approval credits. This aligns perfectly with globalist blueprints: UN Sustainable Development Goals, WEF’s “you’ll own nothing and be happy.” They want you stacked in pod apartments, eating bugs, riding shared e-bikes, all while they jet around. Other states (Oregon, Massachusetts) are piloting similar VMT taxes, often with explicit climate/driving-reduction goals. It’s coordinated.

Why Davos Must End https://ln24international.com/2026/01/23/why-davos-must-end/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-davos-must-end https://ln24international.com/2026/01/23/why-davos-must-end/#respond Fri, 23 Jan 2026 07:32:52 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=29648 Yesterday was Day 3 of the 2026 Davos circus, and the stench of globalism is thicker than ever. Over 60 heads of state, countless CEOs, and the usual suspects flew in on private jets to lecture the rest of us about “planetary boundaries” and “multistakeholder cooperation.” Translation: they want to control your money, your food, your energy, and your freedom. This isn’t a forum. It’s a conspiracy against sovereignty. The World Economic Forum has spent decades pushing stakeholder capitalism, digital IDs, climate lockdowns, and the erosion of borders – all while hiding behind “dialogue.” They meet in secret sessions, make backroom deals, and then expect nations to fall in line. Enough. The WEF is an anti-democratic cancer on the free world. It should be investigated, its funding cut, and the entire operation shut down for good and will prove why.

Trump Crashes the Globalist Party

The big story today: President Donald J. Trump stormed into Davos with the largest American delegation ever and delivered a nearly 70-minute special address that had the elites squirming. He reminded the room that America is back – stronger than ever – and we will not be dictated to by foreign bureaucrats or multilateral traps. He blasted NATO for treating the U.S. unfairly: “We give so much and get so little in return.” He’s right. For decades, European nations have freeloaded on American defense spending while lecturing us on “global cooperation.”

President Trump just called out the World Economic Forum and destroyed one of its core beliefs. The WEF pushes mass migration as a moral duty to help the “developing world.” Trump said no. He used Minnesota as Exhibit A, proving importing failed societies doesn’t work in the West. He said, “The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own.”

Trump ruled out military force for Greenland but demanded immediate negotiations

Trump ruled out military force for Greenland but demanded immediate negotiations – putting strategic assets front and centre instead of surrendering them to globalist “planetary” schemes. Reports say he mixed up Greenland and Iceland a few times, but the message was crystal clear: American interests first.

Trump: US avoided the catastrophic energy collapse which failed every European Nation that pursued the Green New Scam

The Climate Hoax was created by the WEF Losers and President Trump just called them out to their faces. “The United States avoided the catastrophic energy collapse which failed every European Nation that pursued the Green New Scam…perhaps the greatest hoax in History…”

Trump: “Homes are built for people, not for corporations.”

President Trump at Davos 2026 just took a direct swing at the infamous WEF slogan “You’ll own nothing and be happy”—rejecting it outright by banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. He signed an executive order to stop Wall Street giants from scooping up hundreds of thousands of houses (sometimes 10% of the market), driving up prices and turning America into a “nation of renters.”  Trump: “Homes are built for people, not for corporations.” He’s pushing Congress to make the ban permanent law and cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year to help Americans escape 28–32% usury and actually save for a down payment. A clear “no” to the corporate ownership takeover of housing. 

Most importantly for markets: Trump declared loud and clear that America will remain the crypto capital of the world. Bitcoin dipped briefly to $87,000 on volatility but is already rebounding on this news. He teased major crypto legislation coming soon – unlocking “new pathways for financial freedom.” This is a direct slap to the central-bank digital currency crowd who want programmable money to control your spending. The globalists hate it. Trump’s presence alone exposed Davos for what it is: a club terrified of sovereign nations fighting back.

The Globalist Counterattack – China, Carney, and Multilateralism

While Trump spoke truth to power, the usual suspects pushed their one-world agenda. China’s He Lifeng warned against returning to “the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.” They want a “rules-based order” – meaning rules written them and enforced by the WEF. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney – former Bank of England head and net-zero zealot – gave remarks pushing climate finance and “sustainable” growth. This is the same man who wants to force banks to punish fossil fuels and redirect capital to green fantasies that enrich insiders. Sessions included “When Food Becomes Security” – discussing how climate disruptions could turn harvests into weapons. Sounds reasonable until you realize their solution is always more global control: international food boards, trade restrictions, and carbon taxes on farmers. They’re laying groundwork to control the global food supply under the guise of “resilience.” This is why Davos is evil: it normalizes the idea that unelected bodies should override national parliaments on trade, finance, and security.

WEF: Market Impacts and the Financial War

Let’s talk money. Global stocks were mixed tonight. European indices dipped on Trump’s warning that “Europe is not heading in the right direction.” He’s right – decades of open borders, green regulation, and energy dependence on adversaries have hollowed out the continent. U.S. markets remain resilient, buoyed by Trump’s crypto pledge and tariff threats that protect American workers. Expect volatility if trade talks heat up, but long-term: America First policies will bring manufacturing home. The real financial story is the silent war: central banks vs. decentralized money. Davos elites want CBDCs to track every transaction. Trump’s crypto embrace is the counterpunch – keeping financial power with the people.

BlackRock CEO calls for single global blockchain to track all assets — ‘to reduce corruption’

Larry Fink told the WEF the world must accelerate toward fully digitized currencies on a unified blockchain, where every asset — stocks, bonds, real estate, cash — would be tokenized, fractionalized, and programmable. He outlines a vision where unprecedented system of financial centralization and control will allow total surveillance.

Randi Weingartner wants school curriculums to be written by WEF

Meanwhile, sessions on antibiotics resistance and innovation were classic WEF: scare tactics about global crises that only “multistakeholder” solutions can fix. They want public-private partnerships that give corporations immunity while governments foot the bill. Sovereign nations and individuals are waking up – moving assets out of reach of globalist confiscation schemes. Meanwhile, Randi Weingartner wants school curriculums to be written by the World Economic Forum. This means teaching sexual deviancy, sterilizing children, worshipping vaccines, promoting the climate hoax, embracing satanism.

Milei’s Liberty Speech and the Anti-Woke Resistance

Argentine President Javier Milei returned to Davos and delivered another monumental defense of freedom. He tore into socialism, regulation, and collectivism – reminding the room that Western values of individual liberty are the only path to prosperity. Milei’s message aligns perfectly with the anti-globalist fight: governments should serve people, not the other way around. His reforms are turning Argentina around, proving that rejecting IMF-style globalist austerity and embracing markets works.

Why the WEF Itself Is the Greatest Threat

This entire event is illegitimate. Unelected Klaus Schwab successors and their billionaire donors meet in secret, set agendas that filter into national policies, and push ideas no voter ever approved. From the Great Reset to 15-minute cities to ESG scoring – Davos is ground zero for anti-human control systems. They fly private jets to lecture you about carbon footprints. They push digital IDs while protecting their own privacy. They want open borders for cheap labor but walled compounds for themselves. This organization has no democratic mandate. It influences policy through back channels, funds activists, and grooms leaders. It must be exposed, defunded, and shut down. National governments should boycott it. Citizens should demand transparency on any official who attends.

We’ve covered Day 3: Trump’s triumph, Milei’s courage, and the globalists’ desperate pushback. But the bigger picture is clear – Davos represents everything wrong with top-down control. Stay vigilant. Protect your sovereignty. Invest in freedom: hard assets, decentralized finance, and leaders who put their nation first. The World Economic Forum must end – for the sake of liberty, prosperity, and human dignity.
