Servers Don’t Save Trees
(they just serve the interests of our technological overlords)
I have always cared about the health of our natural environment, along with the health of the plants, animals and people it supports. In my 20s and 30s I read heaps of environmental magazines and engaged in a lot of environmental activism. I even contributed photography and articles to some of the magazines and volunteered my time helping various organizations.
You could say I was/am a typical nature- and animal-loving ‘granola’ type. Except that now I no longer donate to the World Wildlife Fund or involve myself in helping most (highly compromised) “environmental” organizations. And I certainly do not support moves to ban gas-powered vehicles or gas stoves, in favor of electric.
What changed? I got wise to the fact that for many decades now, nature-lovers like me have been duped. We have been played like a violin (or any instrument of your choosing), with our better natures, and our willingness to help “save the planet” completely and totally manipulated.
In short, we have been “green washed” and very thoroughly so, by people who have absolutely no interest in protecting the natural world or endangered species of anything. In fact, their main driving motivation might be to put humans on the endangered-species list along with all of the other animals whose habitats have been destroyed and lives exploited for profit.
All current plans to force the world’s nations into obeying new oppressive laws under the guise of “saving the planet” and halting “climate change” or “global warming”, specifically as laid out by the many World Economic Forum sponsored billionaire clubs (like the Club of Rome; a known eugenicist depopulation organization), are intended to rob individuals of personal liberties and make all nations bow at the knee to the new world leaders under a New World Order, or one world governance. They have nothing to do with safeguarding secure healthy futures for the next generations.
Rather the idea is to ensure that the next generations of humans and all other lifeforms are born into a world fully controlled by our elite masters, with no ability to self-govern and with all free will and sovereignty duly stripped, pre-birth.
How do I know this?
Because servers do not save trees.
If anyone tells you that you need to “go paperless” and pay your bills online instead, this person has not yet grasped this concept. Moving from using physical objects (like paper and books) for communications and learning, into fully digital replacements, does not save trees, and certainly does not save energy.
As we move more and more into the digital realm and out of our physical natural surroundings, with each click of a mouse or touch of a screen and with each increasing minute dropped into the ocean of time of our lives dedicated to time spent on screens, a new server is born; a giant electrical beast that occupies space within buildings acres-wide—buildings that exist where trees once did (or could have at least been planted).
And the giant new grazing ‘beasts’ need to be fed. And the emissions from these electronic beasts are a lot more dangerous than cow farts ever were (if they were, which is highly doubtful, especially when only free-roaming cattle farmers are taxed for cow farts and not factory farmers whose indoor cow farts apparently cannot escape buildings to add to alleged “greenhouses gases”).
These servers need to be fed… not grass, not scrub brush… but electricity. And the electricity, invisible though it may be, must be powered by something.
What are the sources of power available to us? Oil, coal, gas, wood (now rebranded as ‘bio-mass,’ but it is still derived from trees, whole forests of them), chemically grown food crops (‘bio-fuel’) and nuclear.
What can moving from gas-powered vehicles to electric vehicles do for the environment or for reducing “carbon emissions” or “greenhouse gases”?
Not just nothing at, rather this move actually increases these emissions because electricity has to come from somewhere. Which means somewhere down the line, something is burned… somewhere.
And in the case of electric cars with their complex computer systems and massive lithium-ion batteries, a whole heck of a lot of toxic, rare earth metals need to be mined, including “conflict-minerals” (meaning the forced labor of men, women and children, who slave away in the Congo for cobalt and coltan, many of whom are beaten, raped or killed in the process).
And what happens to all of the batteries when they are spent? Where do they end up? In mountains of trash somewhere in Asia? What about the fires they are causing already during storms in Florida and the warehouse of batteries that recently caught on fire in southern California? And what happens to all of the gas-powered cars declared obsolete? Where do they go?
Electric cars are not good for the environment. They are not good for people, or plants or animals. And the added electromagnetic fields are not good for any of the above. And the added surveillance is not good for our mental and emotional well-being, and the added restrictions on our movements are not good either.
“SMART” cities are also not at all “smart”, or at the least, certainly not intelligent. They may be SMART (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) in the surveillance sense of the word, but not from a truly intelligent one, and they certainly will also not help us “save the planet”, or one another from devastating harm caused by this technology.
Likewise, anyone advocating for the “need” for “SMART” anything, especially when it comes to monitoring the health of the environment, has overlooked the fact that this technology drastically harms the environment, decimating reptile, insect, bird, fish and other wild species populations.
5G installations in particular cause harm, as thousands upon thousands of trees are cut down to make way for the new antenna for millimeter waves which allegedly cannot travel through trees.
So, the trees have to go, in order to save the environment, which last time I looked, consisted of trees.
I heard that billionaires can fly around the world in their private jets as long as they offset the carbon emissions put out by their jet-use through buying credits that allow for the planting of a specific number of trees… somewhere. (Who figures out just how many trees planted makes up for the jet-setting, must be really, really SMART to have a grasp on that equation.) While, at the same time, using all kinds of digital tech, responsible for clearing whole forests full of trees.
If anyone were really interested in figuring out actual “carbon emissions”, or let’s just use the good old-fashioned word; “pollution” (which involves much more than C02 emissions), they would try figuring it out for a given person’s daily SMART phone or internet usage.
Are any of the internet and smartphone junkies out there having to pay for trees to be planted, anywhere? If they were made to do so, that would be a whole heck of a lot of trees, maybe enough to replace all of the millions and billions of acres of the burned Amazon forest everyone seems to have forgotten about, and the millions of acres of primary forests now being leveled to make way for “green” wind turbine and solar factories, and clearcut to be burned in “biomass” incinerators.
And if we are talking about pollution, (as in poisoning of our environment, which most certainly includes but is not limited to high-tech agricultural practices which require enormous amounts of noxious polluting substances to be sprayed on vast areas of our planet), which clearly none of the politicians shoving the current “environment” or “climate change” narrative down our throats is doing, then what of the toxic components needed for everything SMART and everything digital—how and where are they mined (i.e. the Congo), what wars, oppression and slavery does the mining support (again, check out the Congo) or of how are the mined elements disposed when allegedly “recycled” (i.e. Southeast Asia and China, where the extreme poor sift through mountains of “e-waste” with no protection from the toxic substances, for not much more than a dollar per day).
And any talking heads out there endlessly running their mouths about “biodiversity” and the need to monitor every possible living “thing” on the planet to trap it up in the net of the “internet of things”, seems to have missed the memo about how anything from 2G to 5G totally destroys microorganisms and insects, which last time I heard, were just a teensy tiny bit important to support said “biodiversity” goals. Because in the whole bigger-picture food-chain model pretty much all life depends upon those little guys, which are currently being totally wiped out by the encroaching tech, which we are told we need to adopt in order to save the planet.
That, of course, is an outright lie. Pure and simple. No matter how colorfully and prettily dressed up. And no matter how many crying girls in pigtails, who sail in personal yachts around the world just so they can wag their grubby little spoiled-brat fingers at we proletarians who have no such luxuries available to us, about driving our heavily taxed, gas-powered vehicles to work, rave otherwise.
Simply put, servers don’t save trees. And they won’t save the planet either. And Elon Musk’s Tesla cars, 5G satellites, and neural-link brain chips slated for insertion into billions of brains to be hooked up to billions of “clouds” (aka servers sitting in empty, treeless fields on the ground, powered by coal, trees and oil burning somewhere), will do little towards saving our world either.
But on the contrary, will do quite a lot towards making a nasty trillionaire out of an already nasty billionaire and do quite a lot toward furthering general interest in Musk’s Mars colonization plans, as his own technology helps fulfill his prophesies of planetary doom….
…until nobody will be able to see the forest for the servers, because the forest will no longer be there.
