The Hunger Games (2008) was the first of a series of science fiction novels written by Suzanne Collins that depicted a future dystopian society set in a North American country called Panem. These novels were made into several films beginning in 2012.

Panem consisted of 12 districts in varying states of poverty ruled by the Capitol, which was located west of the Rocky Mountains. The Capitol’s residents, the ruling elite of Panem, remained very wealthy and technologically advanced by exploiting the people and natural resources of the surrounding districts.
Rivaling the European feudal lords of the Middle Ages, Panem’s rulers used their armies of “peacekeepers” to maintain tight control over district residents. Severe restrictions, mass surveillance, public executions, and whippings were a common way of life. Communication between districts was forbidden, and no one was allowed to leave the boundaries of his or her district unless granted permission.
Just as some of the elites of ancient Rome gorged themselves at their gluttonous parties and had vessels in which to vomit so they could devour more food, Capitol residents would ingest a liquid similar to ipecac to empty their stomachs so that they could eat more. The Capitol residents were oblivious to the fact that while they went through large quantities of food with much to spare, district residents often starved.
As ancient kings imposed the payment of tribute on vassal kingdoms to exercise power over them, the rulers of the Capitol, in addition to enslaving the people and taking virtually everything away from them, would levy a form of tribute on the districts where residents were selected and forced to fight in brutal and bloody gladiatorial combat for their entertainment. Obviously, to the Capitol residents, district residents existed only to make their lives comfortable and amuse them. When they ceased to fulfill this role, they were then to be eliminated and replaced.
Seemingly, with similar intentions, for the past several years, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been promoting the implementation of an urban planning concept called the “15-minute city” (sometimes abbreviated as FMC).
This is described as arranging an urban area in such a way that most daily necessities such as going to work, buying food and clothing, going to school, visiting the doctor, and engaging in leisure and entertainment can all be done within a 15-minute walk or bicycle ride from any point of the city.
According to its proponents, this would be a convenient way to reduce motor vehicle dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, improve the well-being and quality of life of city residents, and greatly reduce carbon emissions in the ongoing fight against climate change.
Under the guise of climate-change prevention, car ownership and use would be eliminated over time by making it too expensive and limiting the infrastructure to sustain it. Roadblocks and gates would be erected over time throughout the city. Along with restrictions on the freedom of movement, constant surveillance would characterize life, turning the FMC into an open-air prison similar to the districts in The Hunger Games.
Efforts are underway in Paris, Melbourne, Milan, Oxford, and other cities around the world to implement this supposedly “convenient” form of urban planning that some critics call “WEF ghettos.” Residents of these cities, understanding the implications to their freedom and that globalist entities such as the WEF are promoting them, are pushing back through protests and lobbying efforts directed at their local officials. Some have even taken to surreptitiously removing zoning barriers at night and disabling surveillance cameras.
The kind of cities the WEF and its partners are trying to establish around the world [would] eventually lead to trapping people in cages, where they are forced to live in increasing levels of austerity and poverty as global elites travel freely and live in luxury at [the expense of the people].
The attempts by global elitists (globalism) to create “15-minute cities” where they value their progressively confined residents for what they can acquire from controlling and destroying them will fail.
We the People will fight back. One by one nations will secure their own freedom. Then collectively nations will help to free other nations until eventually the globalist initiative is dead—and so are all globalists.
