Colombia and China sign 12 agreements, joint declaration to establish ‘strategic partnership’

November 1, 2023

CHILE’s Environment Ministry initiated the “Green Tax Compensation System,” a project that has been in development since 2020. The program will establish its own rules, requirements, and methodologies to define pollutants, allowing the system to act beyond Green Tax jurisdiction. The program’s objective is to “stimulate the population to implement sustainable projects throughout the country.”

The Green Tax charges people or companies “that emit CO2” into the atmosphere through their industrial activity, according to WHO and other globalist organization’s definitions of pollutants. Environment Minister Maisa Rojas claimed compensation will be made “by presenting emission reduction certificates for the same pollutant.”

COLOMBIA: President Gustavo Petro signed 12 agreements with the Chinese Xi Jinping regime during his first visit to the Asian country. While there, he paid honors to Mao Zedong, responsible for the greatest genocide in history, while visiting his mausoleum.

The agreements span economy, commercial investment, technology, environment, science, education, and culture among other areas, establishing hermetic bilateral ties. Colombia’s President’s bureau declared: “Both countries signed a Joint Declaration to establish a strategic partnership.”

Several Latin American countries maintain multimillion-dollar debts to China, with the largest debtors being: Venezuela at $60 billion, Brazil at $31 million, and Ecuador at $18.2 billion.

Meanwhile, the Ford Foundation has funded what it calls the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), that aims to involve communities in new globalist projects. EITI produced two-year plans for four communities in Colombia, Ghana, and Indonesia, but sources say governments have moved forward without providing communities relevant information, and even less participation in decision-making.

Residents of La Guajira and other indigenous communities located on the northern border of Colombia, bordering Venezuela, expressed concern about the energy transition, since in recent years their lands were filled with wind farms, as the imminent abandonment of fossil fuels threatens to leave them without jobs and other benefits.

A local official explained: “Revenues from oil and gas companies are the only reliable source of income to finance vital public projects.” Despite the increase in electrical projects in the area, families do not have electricity in their homes.

HONDURAS has become a transit point for “migrants” from countries such as Haiti, Cuba, Ecuador, and Colombia, who travel to the United States “seeking better living conditions.”

The National Migration Institute of Honduras registered 416,438 migrants between January 1 and October 22, considered an unprecedented phenomenon.

UN Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in the Context of Climate Change Ian Fry said displacements to and from Honduras are “due to climate change.” He recommended that the government explore renewable energy technologies.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC is on the way to adopting central bank digital currencies (CBDC). Although in the past the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (BCRD) rejected and disparaged the currency, it will now be issued and managed by entities within the Dominican financial system, with collaboration of international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund.

Central Bank Governor Héctor Valdez Albizu claims decisions made will be “for the benefit of citizens” and that “absolute regulation will prevail before using cryptocurrencies.”

Economic analyst Marc Vidal states that despite offering efficient payments, CBDC is a “sophisticated tool of social control, allowing detailed tracking of citizens’ financial transactions.”

BRAZIL’s National Government has included the COVID-19 vaccine in the National Vaccination Schedule for children from 6 months to 5-years-old, and for people considered high-risk. The law will come into force in 2024, with severe penalties for those who do not comply, including fines and loss of social benefits. School enrollment will be contingent upon presenting a vaccination record.

In other news affecting Brazil’s children, Brazil’s Education Ministry opposed proposals such as homeschooling, promoting agribusiness in classrooms, and other study alternatives, while incorporating gender disorientation in the classroom.

According to a document prepared by the Education Ministry, the National Education System will teach “climate change,” while overcoming “social, gender, and sexual diversity inequalities” is prioritized as “urgent.”
