The Takeover

4.5 (57)
DOCUMENTARY
SEMIWEEKLY SERIES

Powerful voices are rewriting climate reality—and getting away with it. At a conference in London, politicians, influencers and billionaires call Net Zero "a sinister goal," renewables "impossible," and climate action a "scam". They weren’t whispering in backrooms, they were building alliances across the West and beyond to kill global climate commitments and reshape public opinion. The Takeover pulls back the curtain on a rising movement that's weaponizing language, spreading misinformation, and shifting the boundaries of mainstream debate. Hear what they’re saying—and why it matters more than ever. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a really excellent series—well-reported and informative. It offers a broader understanding of the shifts happening within the farther-right conservative movement.

It’s quite entertaining to listen to the first three episodes about how Peterson’s critics are so surprised and envious of his popular rise after the controversy at UofT and to listen to the petty nitpicking of the conference. I also detected a slight envy in the voices of the journalists, hence the title suggested. As a left leaning citizen, I have to say that a lot of the quotes played in the episodes by those “right wing conservatives” do make sense. Perhaps the “Left” needs to be less dogmatic and less naive in their views and be more open to opposing but more sensible views. P.S. there’s no mention of how some of these “renewable resources” equipments - ie. solar panels - are mostly manufactured in China using Coals and have to be shipped to the “Net Zero” countries in order to produce their “renewables” and the fact that countries such as Germany has/had to buy energy from Russia to add to their own energy production from renewables. What a wise way to achieve “net zero”!

This podcast is intentionally misleading. Its title “The Takeover” is designed to make you think that they are going to expose the use of climate change by government to push their total control, tax slavery agenda over our lives. But it is nothing more that the Canadian governments attempt to further Stockholm Syndrome citizens minds by paying off media to villainize the people that are trying their best to set you free. This podcast is absolutely nothing but liberal government ‘spin’ designed to influence the narrative of the weak minded.
Excellent
