Latin America is quietly being forced into a carbon market scheme
through regional contractual obligations – enforced by the satellites of
a US intelligence-linked firm – which seeks to create an
inter-continental “smart grid,” erode national and local sovereignty,
and link carbon-based life to the debt-based monetary system via a
Bitcoin sidechain.

In 2022, several groups came together to launch the
GREEN+ (Government Reduction of Emissions for Environmental Net + Gain)

satellite all subnational protected areas of the planet” and – through
contracts with numerous local and state governments – propel and deepen
the economic integration of the Americas through the quiet imposition of
a continent-wide, blockchain-based carbon market.
GREEN+ has been piloted in
a handful of Latin American cities since its founding and is due to
launch globally in just a few weeks time. Most of the GREEN+ agreements
with “subnational” governments have remained focused on Latin America. Per the program,
the subnational agreements have established the “rules and requirements
to enable accounting and crediting with GREEN+ policies and measures
and/or nested projects, implemented as GHG mitigation activities,” with
GREEN+ being described as “the planet’s new subnational government
advisory mechanism.”
Key to the program are the services provided by GREEN+ founding member Satellogic, an Argentina-founded company closely aligned with Peter Thiel’s Palantir and Elon Musk’s SpaceX that specializes in sub-meter resolution satellite surveillance. Satellogic, a contractor to the US government and whose founders were also previously contactors for
the US’ DHS, NSA and DARPA, will provide surveillance data of the
entire world’s “protected areas” to GREEN+’s governing coalition,
composed of the NGOs CC35, the Global Footprint Network, The Energy
Coalition and other “respected stakeholders.”...
