Also, a warning about control of Smart Cities by governments: Local and Global. What to avoid! _________________________ SMART CITIES \u2026 OR ARE THEY? Smart cities are being planned\u2015and developed\u2015due to demand, and in some cases due to foresight. There are too many dumb cities! Cities are growing; two in three people will live in cities by 2050. Cities are also responsible for three fourths of total energy consumption and 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions \u2026 and therefore have special responsibility for the future. But WHO is seeing this need \u2026 and WHO is taking advantage of this need for \u201cother\u201d purposes? Let\u2019s start by discussing the different factions (corporations, governments, and organizations) who are actively involved in the current\u2012and future\u2012development of Smart Cities, Smart Neighborhoods and Smart Industrial-Residential Complexes. Let\u2019s define them by their goals: Sustainable Environment (Planning for Society as a Whole) Energy Conservation (Must Act Now Critical Environments) Parasites (Entities Like ESG, WEF, and Global Reset) An article in Business Chief titled \u201cTechnology and AI\u201d by Sajana Samarasinghe says: \u201cSmart cities use ICT technologies to fuel smarter and more sustainable development practices, such as transportation networks, water supply, and heating, as well as promoting safer urban spaces.\u201d The writer then chooses Chicago as #10 of the Smartest Cities in the USA. Evidently the writer did NOT check out the MURDER rate in Chicago while doing research. I wonder: Which kills MORE and FASTER: bad climate OR murders?! In the past I owned an architectural company. Of importance in design\u2015including municipal, manufacturing and residential\u2015is SAFETY: not only of the building(s) \u2026 BUT of the community. The safety accommodations of a city are variegated. Let me give you an example of a Smart City that is SMART as regards to: energy resource sustainability, business-manufacturing and residential mix, and neighborhood social makeup. Innovative solutions for the challenges of the modern world, successful pilot projects in areas like mobility, environment, and, of course, digitalization clearly show that progress is at home in Vienna. https:\/\/www.wien.info\/en\/all-of-vienna\/smart-city-vienna What made Vienna a Smart City? Resource efficiency and the climate crisis are big challenges for cities around the world. Vienna is taking up these global issues with flying colors, thanks to an innovative Smart City strategy. The Smart City Vienna framework strategy through 2050 is accompanied by many other concepts and strategies of the city, like the city development plan, a dedicated energy program, or the "Digital Agenda", which is working on Vienna as a capital of digitalization. The topics "Smart solutions for the urban habitat of the 21st century" and "Smart production in the city" are also essential elements of the city strategy "Vienna 2030 - Economy & Innovation." Vienna operates one of the biggest district heating networks in Europe. More than 400,000 homes\u2015around one third of all households in Vienna\u2015and more than 6,800 large customers are supplied with environmentally friendly heat. And \u2026 compared to conventional air conditioning systems, the generation of central cooling needs four to ten times LESS primary energy, saves space, is quiet and visually inconspicuous: that makes it a smart cooling solution. Particularly great is the demand for district cooling in Vienna city center. A district cooling network that supplies big customers like hospitals, public buildings, or hotels, is being constructed along the Ringstrasse boulevard. In the near future, district cooling should also be available for private households. BUT ARE SMART CITIES ALL THAT GOOD \u2026 FOR EVERYONE Steven Poole writes in The Guardian: The truth about smart cities: \u201cIn the end, they will destroy democracy.\u201d One take-home message at a Smart City conference seemed to be that whatever the smart city might be, it will be acceptable as long as it emerges from the ground up: \u201cthe bottom-up or citizen-led approach.\u201d But of course, the things that enable that approach\u2015a vast network of sensors amounting to millions of electronic ears, eyes, and noses\u2015also potentially enable the future city to be a vast arena of perfect and permanent surveillance by whomever has access to the data feeds. DISADVANTAGES OF SMART CITIES Demand 24\/7 connectivity and power supply. Security issues related to public data and surveillance. Almost 70% of the world\u2019s largest cities have already invested in \u201cSmart City\u201d technology and many others are considering its implementation. The increase in federal funding and strong partnerships between city governments and private sector technology companies will further consolidate the reality of smart cities in the upcoming years. This is where a BIG DANGER lies. Consolidation of local, state, and regional governments\u2015and in the future, possibly national governments\u2015with ESG, WEF and\/or Global Reset platforms will \u201ccross the line\u201d of sacrificing freedom for control. When this happens, there will be NO individuality: NO personalization: only accepted control. ESG, WEF AND GLOBAL RESET ARE DANGEROUS The best place to find information about the Global Reset is on the website of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Rather than focus on profits, private property rights, supply, and demand from consumers\u2014the cornerstones of free market economies\u2014WEF \/ Reset wants to develop a system based largely on \u201cenvironmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. Beware of ESG! The Global Reset is \u201cpurposely\u201d about shifting wealth and power into the hands of elites and surveillance of the common citizen (and small business owners) for control. WATCH OUT FOR:      > The Big Reset     > ESG (the Big Banks are NOT your friends anymore)     > Digital Currency The World Economic Forum (WEF) wants to control EVERYTHING in your life: a digital ID system that would collect personal data about your online behavior, purchase history, network usage, medical history, travel history, energy uses, health status. A \u201cSocial Credit Score\u201d like China uses! Then they can use this data to determine who should open bank accounts, conduct financial transactions, access insurance & treatment, book trips, cross borders. AND MORE! ESG stands for Environmental Social and Governance, and refers to the three key factors when measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business or company. ESG criteria aids some investors to avoid companies that might pose a greater (purported) financial risk due to their environmental or other practices. What\u2019s truly outrageous about ESG is the way it studiously ignores the massive, widespread damage inflicted by pseudo-renewable energy. S&P [Standard and Poor's ~ creator of financial market indices\u2014widely used as investment benchmarks\u2014a data source, and an issuer of credit ratings] Global says it \u201cincorporates ESG risks and opportunities into the credit rating analysis\u201d of public issuers. This includes ambiguous and open-ended categories such as how a state scores on \u201cmanaging carbon,\u201d \u201cpolitical unrest stemming from community and social issues\u201d and \u201cadverse publicity that results in reputation risk.\u201d Unlike quantifiable financial metrics, this qualitative view depends entirely on the beliefs of whoever constructs it. It is very easy to discern that those beliefs are left-wing. S&P assigns a lower ESG score to states that have both \u201cphysical risks\u201d like earthquakes and natural disasters and a larger percentage of their economy tied to natural resource extraction. So IF you're looking to move to a Smart City now or in the future, make sure it is controlled from the \u201cground up\u201d \u2026 by that I mean, controlled by the citizens: the tenants \u2026 and NOT just an HOA, and especially NOT by ESG, WEF, or a government or enterprise. THE SMART CITY WHERE I HAVE A RESERVATION But here is the SUPER SMART CITY. It will be in Messiah\u2019s Millennial rule, where Messiah Yeshua rules on Planet Earth from Jerusalem for 1,000 years. Ever wonder WHAT it will be like and WHAT environmental changes will take place? I can tell you exactly from the Hebrew Scriptures in Tanakh!
