OUR MISSION

The REAL Green New Deal Project (REALgnd) is an independent think tank based in the United States. Founded in 2020, we push the envelope by speaking bold, wholistic truths about our unsustainability crisis that few others are willing to.

We hone in on both the physical and metaphysical causes and remedies of unsustainability, in the process bursting the fantasy bubble of the Green New Deal (GND) while bringing into the picture the crucial component of spirituality that is all but ignored in sustainability discourse.

In the physical domain, we highlight that:

Climate change is not the central problem humanity faces, nor is greenhouse gas pollution its sole culprit. Toxic overshoot is the heart of beast: there are too many of us, exploiting ecosystems beyond their regenerative and assimilative capacities, in the process displacing and extinguishing other species whilst generating a toxic stew of unprecedented proportions, two of its most deadly ingredients being electromagnetic and chemical manipulation of the bio-atmosphere.

The clean energy techno-solutions advanced by the mainstream GND narrative are neither renewable nor sustainable and will in fact exacerbate toxic overshoot.

To address the root disease and all of its symptoms, a dramatic contraction and fundamental transformation of the human enterprise is needed.

In the metaphysical domain, we highlight that:

The root cause of our problems on the physical plane is a disconnection from spirituality—the sacred, the divine, the heart, the soul…the broader multi-dimensional aspects of reality that extend beyond materiality and basic sensory perception, where the true richness and meaning of life lie.

The Earth herself is moving into a new evolutionary phase, and only that which is vibrating at her higher frequency of love, understanding, and unity will persist in harmonic resonance.

Our mission is to expose the dangerous illusion of the GND—simply business-as-usual by alternative means—

while offering a genuinely hopeful alternative grounded in

ecological realism and spiritual reconnection.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

We face head-on a wide range of subject matter, typically considered taboo or outside the scope of sustainability, that paints a truly wholistic picture of what we're up against. This includes things like taking a radical, universal stance on humane population reduction (not to be confused with malevolent schemes), calling for an end to war and U.S. empire, acknowledging the unsustainability of modern industrialism and "renewables," and talking openly about the metaphysical inflection point we find ourselves in.

To best make sense of it all, we like to think about our global predicament in terms of a patient with a disease. No disease can be cured if it’s not accurately diagnosed and treated. But humanity now faces a dual problem: not just the disease itself, but that the commonly accepted diagnosis and treatment are wildly off base.

Changing the Diagnosis

Fossil fuel induced climate change isn't the underlying problem—toxic overshoot is

Biodiversity loss, mass extinction, resource scarcity, ecosystem degradation, and all other environmental crises are symptoms of one underlying problem: toxic overshoot. Too many people, consuming and polluting too much, has resulted in a vast overreach of the planet’s carrying capacity. But that’s not all. To the normal pollution resulting from overshoot, we’ve added a life-destroying web of toxicity in our techno-industrial wake.

More still is that some parts of that toxic web have been silenced or stigmatized within public discourse but are huge drivers of erratic weather and planetary imbalances. As the public has been laser focused in on atmospheric pollution from fossil fuel burning, we’ve been distracted not only from the litany of other familiar ecological problems but from two very impactful ones that have been kept below the radar: electromagnetic and chemical alteration of the bio-atmosphere.

Manmade electromagnetic radiation is significantly disturbing natural electromagnetic fields at both macro and micro levels. This includes irradiation of the upper atmosphere through “ionospheric heating” as well as irradiation of the terrestrial biosphere through low and radio frequencies omnipresent in the techno-industrial landscape. Not only does this impact the climate system, which is driven by various electromagnetic fields, but it is fundamentally destabilizing all life with radiation levels one billion trillion times the natural background level. The same is true of other chemically based weather modification activities that have been ongoing for decades: soil, water, plants, animals, and humans are collateral damage in the chemical toxification of our skies.

Thus the laser focus on fossil fuel induced climate change neglects the systemic nature of the bigger problem. It completely ignores overpopulation and its impacts. It conveniently obfuscates major drivers of climate and planetary manipulation. And it would have us believe that we can treat the false flag lone problem with techno-alternatives—“renewable energy”—that are impossible to deliver at scale and will only exacerbate the pillaging of Nature. All a perfect recipe for confusing the masses and manufacturing consent for a dystopian future even more technologized, controlled, and ecologically destructive than today.

Tweaking the system won't work—techno-industrial civilization is inherently unsustainable

Life as we know it today is possible only because of a one-off inheritance of fossil energy. Whether we choose to wean ourselves off of it or it eventually becomes too financially and energetically costly to keep using, there are no qualitative or quantitative replacements (so-called renewable energy isn't a substitute). Remove it from the equation and the entire house of cards will crumble. Even if "free energy" could be harnessed, plugging it into a dirty system in overshoot would seal our fate.

Toxic overshoot, techno-industrial civilization, and war and suffering did not arise because we're inherently greedy or incapable of allowing rational foresight to curb the evolutionary impulse to exploit resources—they're the physical manifestations of a diseased collective consciousness, of an intentional disconnection from our true spiritual nature

We’re a people with amnesia, having forgotten our true history that reveals a fuller set of potentialities and that cycles of time can either repeat or be risen above. We’ve allowed an overly dominant egoic mind, focused on physical objectification and separation, to lead us astray and hold us captive. We’ve allowed a small global cadre to hijack our lives and the planet for their own destructive benefit. And in that hijacking, we’ve become disconnected from the heart, the soul, the sacred; from the vast metaphysical dimensions of reality that give rise to the physical; and from the truth the we're all one in love and compassion.

Changing the Cure

Faux renewables are faux—we have to get real about what actually constitutes renewable energy

Solar panels, high-tech wind turbines, batteries (and by extension electric vehicles), hydrogen cells, large-scale hydropower, nuclear, and every other you-name-it technology that will supposedly the day, all rely on fossil fuels at every step of their life cycle. Not only that but:

Their construction relies on a dwindling supply of non-renewable metals and minerals (that cannot magically be made renewable through endless recycling), on ecological destruction and pollution, and on terrible working conditions that are often offshored to the Global South.
At the end of their short lives, faux renewables have to be decommissioned and transported to waste sites (using fossil fuels), only for the entire process to start all over again.

Nothing about this is renewable or sustainable.

Sophisticated harnessing of energy is possible, but not within today’s primitive techno-industrial context or the consciousness that supports it. As we completely reformulate how to think about energy and conscious relationship with the planet and cosmos, the nearest template within reach is an agrarian one, overlaid with brushstrokes of advanced multidimensional knowledge that has been surfacing within recent decades.

Forget decoupling and the circular economy

The idea behind decoupling is that we can have economic and material growth that doesn’t negatively impact the planet as long as that growth relies on “green” energy. The non-greenness of green energy notwithstanding, this forgets that we are inextricably embedded within the natural world. Decoupling ourselves from Nature is no more possible than decoupling the Earth from the solar system or a tree from the soil.

The circular economy pitch is that we can live within planetary boundaries by recycling more and redesigning products and processes to be less wasteful. But we can't recycle or redesign our way out of overshoot, and no amount of tweaks to a broken system can save it. A truly circular economy would require a fundamentally different relationship with the Earth—abandoning capitalist techno-industrialism in exchange for a more harmonious way of living.

Significantly reducing and transforming our material presence is essential

If toxic overshoot is the result of too many people consuming and polluting too much within a destructive system, all enabled by fossil fuels, then the remedy is far fewer people (arrived at humanely using the simple, ethical tools at our disposable that were proven out during the golden era of the family planning revolution) living far more synergistically with the Earth, sans unsustainable fossil energy.

The master enabler—the global debt-slave financial system—needs to be replaced

A huge source of today’s problems is a financial system based in slavery and destruction. All money that’s generated within this cabalistic system comes with the automatic burden of debt in the form of interest. It's a system of usury, long regarded as both immoral and practically disastrous, run by an unaccountable and malevolent few.

Endless wars, ever-more resource extraction, artificial scarcity through induced inflation, and other societal disruptions (e.g., ‘pandemics’ and stock market crashes) are great ways to generate money and send the attached debt payments to the top of the pyramid—in what is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on humanity.

Cutting off the central banks, doing away with interest-bearing debt, cancelling interest on all outstanding debts (in a debt jubilee of sorts), and switching to an accountably managed credit system with demurrage, would be a giant leap in wresting back our agency and enabling the creation of a better world.

We're being called to reconnect with spiritual reality and reclaim our power.

The planetary ascension is compelling us to call back what we’ve forsaken:

to reunite with the metaphysical planes,
to perceive beyond the suppressed veil of physically focused ordinary consciousness,
to cultivate a healthy balance between the mind and heart,
to detoxify our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies,
to release the consciousness of war, violence, separation, and fear that’s been artificially programmed into us,
to allow in love, compassion, restorative healing, and unity through diversity,
and, in doing so, to reclaim our power and sovereignty.

WHAT WE THINK THE FUTURE HOLDs

The questions inevitably arise: do we have enough time? Is there any hope? What can be done?

The planet is transitioning to a higher dimensional container of reality. That much is certain. The only questions are a) whether it will be a fifth dimension based in love and understanding or continued separation and control, and b) how long and painful of a journey it will be to get there.

We will define that outcome. We are co-creating reality, every moment of every day. Nothing is pre-destined or irreversibly doomed. The choices we make, the vibration we hold, and the level of consciousness we expand or contract into, are the deciding factors that will shape our future and its trajectory.

To be sure, a better future will emerge by creating and building the new that is desirable, which will render the old obsolete.

However, we also see value in, not fighting up against the old system, but smartly interfacing with it to bridge less painfully into the new. There are well-intentioned political actors, and supporting them instead of the status quo is one such leverage point.

To that end, we've developed our own energy transition plan as a resource for anyone in the political arena with whom its bold message and policy recommendations might resonate. Absent government action, it can still be a source of guidance and inspiration for those attempting to build life anew.

The plan, along with our New Earth Synthesis paper, tease out just what a better future might look like, offering prescriptions for what could be done to navigate an intelligent biophysical contraction of society while engaging with diverse aspects of a heart-based, expanded way of ushering in a New Earth.
