The Importance of Preserving Physical Media
The Great Reset is proceeding much faster than even the conspiracy theorists could have envisioned. The German Minister of Agriculture recently declared that citizens should accept hunger as the price of saving biodiversity and fighting climate change. (I am not making this up.) I would have thought we were five to ten years from being told to starve for Gaia. But as global governments take steps to deliberately reduce agricultural production (including the “Inflation Reduction Act” just signed by centrist, moderate president Joe Brandon.)
Imagine a global citizen of the mid or perhaps late 21st century; living in a 300-square-foot pod; having electricity only when the wind or the sun cooperate; with a universal basic income; fed on a diet of mealworms and crickets; perhaps drinking sewer water (because the BBC says “It’s good for the environment, so get over it.“) Imagine this THX-1138 of the Post-Reset future the World Economic Forum has planned somehow stumbles a few episodes of the Brady Bunch. Imagine his (or her, or whatever new possessive pronoun) shock at learning people at one time lived in spacious, comfortable houses. Imagine how utterly stunned they would be to see a large family prospering on a single professional income. Imagine how they would feel seeing that middle-class families once owned cars and were allowed to travel to Hawaii on jet planes. Privileges only the wealthy and powerful will enjoy in his time.
The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. The term is based on an ancient saying that presumed black swans did not exist – a saying that became reinterpreted to teach a different lesson after the first European encounter with them.

While everyone including myself, is gasping at the grocery check-out aisle here in the US when the tab comes up, I heard on the radio about a 
Some may have heard of The Great Reset, an overhaul of our entire worldwide economic system to usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. There is plenty of information on all of that, but who is Klaus Schwab? He is the president and founder of the World Economic Forum. He is currently the person leading this “great” reset of world society as we know it. Did we know there was a reset coming and did we vote for it? Are all countries subject to these new sweeping changes described in The Great Reset, that will impact how and if we work, what we own, what we eat, how we commute, how we bank, what we earn, and many other things that we have always taken for granted as personal choices. It gets better…..
Major banks are rolling out a new platform and their lending practices will be driven by your ESG score. ESG stands for your Environmental, Social, and Governance. What, you ask, does that mean? What you buy and sell, what charities you support, and your environmental impact are being tracked and translated into a score. I don’t know who the scorekeepers are, but 
There is a lot of pressure on President Trump to win re-election. So let’s add some more. Something called “The Great Reset” is being globally staged, using the COVID-19 virus to accelerate the Reset. Conspiracy theories? Think again. Rapid draconian changes are being planned across all sectors, including financial, economic, social, and religious, with the virus restrictions giving it gas. Loss of freedom, and socialistic measures will replace our Judeo-Christian civilization, with the United States as the last big block in the way to be knocked down.
