Orbiting satellites are playing a larger role in the development of an agricultural, environmental and technological control grid.
To earlier generations, the term constellations might have meant zodiacal dot-to-dots depicting ancient gods or mythical creatures — but today the word more likely evokes hurtling GPS satellites and myriad spy craft buzzing the firmament. As above, so below now applies to the technological miasma of modern life. But what has been out of sight should no longer be out of mind, as agendas on the ground seem to merge with those in the stratosphere.

On terra firma we can observe concerted — even desperate — efforts by the World Economic Forum and affiliated NGOs and politicians to severely restrict energy, food and transportation, under the guise of “saving the planet”. Now satellite systems are being touted as a means of reducing methane emissions and of tracking changes in the flora and fauna of remote regions amid a “boiling” planet. But does this rapidly evolving and terrifying agenda on the ground really apply to near orbit?
How many flickering objects are up there and who put them there? How do they really affect us beyond the convenience of sat navs or streaming TV subscriptions?
More than half of the 9,692 satellites orbiting Earth are used for communications. Other uses for the thousands of satellites in the sky include Earth and space observation (22.1 per cent), Earth and space science (0.44 per cent), technology development and demonstrations (0.77 per cent), as well as navigation and global positioning (3.6 per cent). SpaceX owns and operates the most satellites. The company’s 4,534 vehicles make up nearly half of the total in orbit, with plans for about 42,000 more. Elon Musk, the owner, has a goal of delivering high-speed broadband internet access to most people in the world through his Starlink constellation. This makes him a suitable person for scrutiny when questions of surveillance and influence come to the fore amid the battle for hearts and minds over climate narratives and net zero targets set by outfits such as the World Economic Forum, United Nations and national governments — regardless of whether SpaceX sats are involved in environmental observation or not.
Burning issues
Grain silos blazed in La Rochelle, France, on August 10; following an explosion at a grain depot near the port of Derince in western Turkey a few days earlier. These Europe-based infrastructure accidents, or sabotage, follow countless derailments and crop disasters across the American agricultural belt in recent months. If that wasn’t bad enough, special presidential envoy for climate John Kerry announced last week that agriculture was now in the climate targets of the US.
Meanwhile, back in Europe, France has banned short-haul flights to reduce carbon emissions — specifically journeys that can be reached by car in under two and a half hours (even though the French government admitted these climate compliance moves would not affect CO2 emissions). Indications are that Germany and Austria will soon follow suit.
Judging by Canada’s fascist interpretation of public health directives at the height of the Covid hysteria, they may steal a march on America as pioneers of the globalist stay-at-home-and-be-happy schematic.
Oxford city council in England has raced to implement the 15-minute city zoning that requires heavy surveillance of citizens to work. The quick rollout may be because such a template existed in Eastern Germany during the cold war and because Oxford put up little resistance to pandemic lockdowns and mask mandates — an indicator of where the climate compliance initiative may be rolled out. Ireland, whose citizens wholeheartedly bent over to receive jabs and whose Garda police force used heavy-handed measures on those not wearing masks or venturing outside during lockdowns, coincidentally finds itself with stringent targets on cattle reduction, despite being a pastoral economy and producing some of the best tasting food in the world. Its government has set a target of 20 percent of the country’s meat and dairy herds for slaughter, or 1.3m cows, to reach “climate targets”.
The myth of Elon
Elon Musk is lauded as the great technological disruptor of his generation, after pioneering scaleable businesses in both electric cars and chemical space rockets, through Tesla and SpaceX. Prior to that, he was a formative influence in electronic payments, through PayPal. Musk took control of social media outlet Twitter in a $44bn deal in October 2022. Since then he has reinstated many censored accounts and routinely tweeted his commitment to “free speech”. It would be fair to say he has earned the trust of millions, as formerly taboo issues, such as voter fraud, child trafficking, excess mortality among young people and allegations of Biden family corruption, reemerge on the site.
This virtuous timeline took a divisive turn when he appointed Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter in May this year. Yaccarino left her role as chairman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal. She also serves as the chair of the WEF’s Future of Work taskforce and is a member of the WEF Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee. Yaccarino was a vocal advocate of mask-wearing and Covid jabs at the height of the pandemic. The business case for her involvement has been cited as stemming an advertiser exodus, dealing with service disruptions, regulatory scrutiny and a growing list of rivals.
A few months down the line and Musk announced a name change for the platform — to be styled as simply X. The touted rationale is that the site will evolve into the “everything app”, not unlike China’s WeChat microblogging app, with increased monetization for content creators and a one-stop shop for daily life.
Yaccarino has recently discussed Twitter content in terms of “lawful” versus “awful” and has mooted censorship to ensure “brand safety”. Such arbitrary decisions could be interpreted as a form a social credit scoring if applied to and logged against certain users. If daily financial transactions are combined with blogging on the X app, then it takes little imagination to equate social behavior with social and financial mandates. Another project under the Musk umbrella is Neuralink, which is developing implantable brain–computer interfaces that would posit human consciousness within the world-wide web. At what stage, and under what conditions, would use of the X app become contingent on adoption of a Neuralink brain implant?
It is notable that Twitter has just been found in contempt by a circuit judge who had directed the company to handover details of President Donald Trump’s Twitter account. A search warrant was served with a nondisclosure order that prohibited Twitter from notifying anyone of the existence of the order. The social media company delayed producing the documents while litigating its objections, and was ultimately fined $350,000 for the delay. Although this development does not directly relate to Musk’s space operations, it does form a plank in any discussion over his general motivations and attitude towards state agendas.
