You have probably heard of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset’ initiative, their diabolically named scheme to transform the global economic, social, and governance system into something Mussolini would have immediately recognized as fascism. Or fascism without even a nod to any of its more admirable traits. The goal of the ‘Great Reset’ is to create a borderless global society based on collaboration between ‘stakeholders’ (as defined by the WEF, naturally) and a web of ‘public-private partnerships’ – or in layman’s terms, state-corporate corruption. This will of course necessitate the abandonment of outdated notions such as the nation state, individual liberty, and equality under the law, and isn’t likely to be too popular once the masses catch on. But don’t worry, the WEF knows you won’t be happy. To grease the skids for the new global totalitarianism, the jackasses of Davos have compiled a suite of tools and technologies necessary for controlling 8 billion people.

Remember when all those US manufacturing jobs were offshored to cheap labor markets like China, Mexico, and Vietnam, leaving millions of blue-collar Americans without options or useful skills? Remember how they were supposed to learn to code? Well, the same thing is now happening to white collar jobs – including those who code.

After the huge wave of industrial offshoring that followed the end of the Cold War, Americans were told by their politicians and talking heads that they’d be left with a ‘service economy’ – and that this was a good thing. We would get cheap goods from overseas which we’d be able to afford by way of a strong dollar and our employment in work requiring a more cerebral or personal touch. This left much of the US workforce in corporate services roles like HR, IT, accounting, finance, procurement, market intelligence, data analysis, etc. With English language, educational, and deep technical requirements, these jobs were presumably safe. Not anymore.

Today, the corporate services ...

You’ve probably heard the term ‘fractional reserve banking’ but chances are you don’t know what it is. And if you don’t know what it is, you obviously can’t understand its implications. Maybe that’s the point of its bland, too-many-syllables, corporate ring. But the fact is fractional reserve banking is the biggest and most successful scam ever devised, it underlies our economic system, and it’s made modern prosperity possible – it’s also what will likely bring it down.

Money is created in two ways in our system. It is either ‘printed’ by the Federal Reserve (in cash or digital form) or it is created by private banks in the form of credit, or loans. When the Fed prints money it is either spent on a government program or lent to private banks at a certain interest rate (which is what you hear being talked about as interest rates in the news). Banks can then create money out of thin air when they extend loans to consumers and businesses under the condition that they hold a fraction of the ...
