"15 Minute Cities": Highways to Genocide?

Look at what happened to Jewish ghettos in the 1940s. Look at Gaza City in 2023

As an urban theorist & historian, my answer to the question of whether "15 minute cities" are a good idea or not, is basically this:

Look at what happened to the Jewish ghettos in the 1940s, look at what happened to Gaza City in 2023.

The entire notion of 15 minute cities is yet again based on false PR marketing and deception.

15 minute cities could be a good idea for some people only on a purely voluntary and a non penalising or punitive basis. They could be a good idea if there were no physical, digital or financial barriers implementing and enforcing their borders.

The moment road blocks, cameras linked to systems of automatic fines on travel are attached to them, and automatic physical barriers next, this is like building a digital wall around them.

The rich, the oligarchs, will have passes, the fines are negligible to them.

The working and middle class will be penalised severely, from simply not being able to travel beyond their neighbourhoods for not being able to afford it, to losing business from shoppers who would come from beyond the 15 minute radius. Who benefits, of course, are always large corporations who will squeeze out local businesses, as they operate on the basis of multiplied profit from chain stores.

And this is only the beginning.

Once a 15 minute city is effectively walled in through a physical barrier or digital walled system, then the oligarchy, via the state, can do anything it wants to the inhabitants, through the mechanism of isolating them from the support that would come from adjacent neighbourhoods, villages, towns, or cities.

Many civil wars have been won using precisely this military strategy.

The 15 minute city, like the mass injection of toxic bioweapons going under the label of “mRNA/ModRNA” “vaccines”, is in fact in essence a military project of containment.

All we need to do is to look back at the roles of sieges in civil wars to see how local government can be besieged and eradicated when adjacent support is neutralised.

In the contemporary scenario, the besieging party will be the state, acting under the orders of a transnational oligarchy, whose marketing PR branch is the biggest promoter of the 15 minute city deception today: none other than the World Economic Forum and what operates today as a WEF spin-off: the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.

To see what can happen next, in a military scenario let’s look at Gaza City.

Israel Defence Forces blow up entire neighbourhoods of Gaza, Palestine. November 2023.

GAZA AS A 15 MINUTE WALLED CITY, PALESTINE, 2023.

The era of "postcolonialism".

The people of Gaza, Palestine, are walled in.

They have nowhere to go.

Nobody can come to help them.

Their fate seems sealed.

This is precisely because of the barriers, physical and political, all around them.

So the result is that they are being killed in their thousands.

The idea that they are “collateral damage”, in this case, if not others, is a deception.

They, and not “Hamas”, are the real intended targets of Israel air bombing campaign.

And they are being killed at a higher rate than any modern war precisely because they live in a dense and walled in urban area.

Yes, just like it would happen in a “15 minute city” that is being falsely presented as the answer to all our urban problems.

It is not the answer to our problems.

It is the solution that the oligarchy chose to contain us militarily as the financial system collapses and the “Great Reset” into Central bank Digital Currencies is given as the only solution to the coming hyperinflation of fiat currencies, as a result of the coming wave of new quantitative easing to fund the war effort to pay for the World War Three.

The World War Three the oligarchy seems to be doing everything to provoke, first in Ukraine, and now in Palestine.

Let the tragic fate of Gaza City at least serve as a warning to all people of the world.

Once they box you into a "15 minute city", they can then kill you, and nobody on the planet will do, or will be able to do, anything at all to save you.

They can blame "terrorism" that they themselves created through their actions, that they themselves supported, that they themselves funded.

Do not let them box you into 15 minute cities.

Fight like hell to stop them doing this to you too.

Their enemies are not simply Palestinians, it's all of us.

We are all Palestinians to them.

We are all Palestinians to the psychopathic oligarchy.
