On September 12 I published a post titled Covid-Con, in which I explained briefly how Big Pharma and governments have conspired to let the fight against covid-19 fail. Just like many of America's modern wars, "winning" doesn't seem to be a priority, but rather the continuation of the war seems to be the main goal. Certain parties stand to gain a lot of money as long as the wars go on, like banks, the military industrial complex, the espionage industrial complex and so on. We shouldn't forget to include Big Oil in that list, as the American military is one of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions, due to their army, navy and air-force burning tons of fossil fuels. Here's an interesting article about that little discussed fact: U.S. military consumes more hydrocarbons than most countries -- massive hidden impact on climate.
The war must go on. This seems to be the driving motivation behind all the failing measures taken by governments all over the world, not just America. That's where the fight against covid-19 differs from all the other endless wars; this one is global and can only be won if the entire world population develops adequate resistance against the virus quick enough to not let it mutate. The same goes for the fight against climate change; this can't be won by one or a few countries, but only by all of us together. This is impossible. Can't be done. Not in the capitalist economy and not with the for-profit mindset that's so prevalent among the ruling classes. But with covid things are even worse; governments all over the world have seen how easy it is to wield power over frightened people, and the economy that has safeguarded the privileged positions of wealth and power for those ruling classes is about to break down. And they know it, but they'll let it happen. Worse, all that's done only serves to speed it up.
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." So, for the sake of argument, let's just assume he was right. I believe he was. If the mightiest military in the world doesn't win wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, it's not because they're not able to win, it's because they don't want to. It means the wars weren't meant to be won. That was never the intention. Whenever you see government "failing" you should immediately ask yourself: who benefits from this "Failure"? In the case of covid-19, we've already seen who benefits: Big Pharma, the governments themselves and, last but certainly not least, Big Tech. Big Pharma have won by keeping the patents and insuring the pandemic never had a chance to be stopped in time. Governments have won because as a result they can wield more power over their peoples. And Big Tech have won because people stay at home more. The fact that Jeff Bezos made record-profits and was able to take a joy-ride into space in the middle of pandemic where millions lost their jobs and filed for medical bankruptcy, is the kind of decadence that would make Roman Emperors at the height of their power blush.
This decadence is one way that our current socioeconomic shows itself to be failing. But the ruling elite is set to make it even worse. A troubling number of developments in that direction are happening, have been happening over the last one and a half year. Some 11 days ago I posted about the up and coming Technofeudalism, where we're headed towards an online marketplace that's under the complete control of one private entity. You can add to that the monopoly on mind-control in the hands of ABC, the mega-corporation that owns Google, YouTube, Instagram and so on; their algorithms decide what we see, and by extension what we're allowed to think about. Their profit model is based on hate and outrage in what's called the "attention economy," and they're responsible for much of the binary divisions we see growing in public discourse. A while back I wrote a couple of posts about Covid-19: The Great Reset, a book by Klaus Schwab. Here are some frightening excerpts from the book's synopsis on Google Books:
"COVID-19: The Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. [...] COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out.

That should worry you. Especially when you know the date of publishing the book, 9 July 2020, only three months after the pandemic really started. "Never waste a good crisis" is the motto of people in power. In times of crisis people readily accept new rules and laws they'd never agree to in times of peace and calm, because they're willing to give up some of their freedoms in exchange for perceived security. This is simply how it works, as described in Naomi Klein's book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism:
Klein argues that neoliberal free market policies (as advocated by the economist Milton Friedman) have risen to prominence in some developed countries because of a deliberate strategy of "shock therapy". This centers on the exploitation of national crises (disasters or upheavals) to establish controversial and questionable policies, while citizens are too distracted (emotionally and physically) to engage and develop an adequate response, and resist effectively. The book suggests that some man-made events, such as the Iraq War, were undertaken with the intention of pushing through such unpopular policies in their wake.

Klaus Schwab, the Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, had the plans described in his book, for the "Great Reset," ready long before the pandemic started. And these plans need the world's population in crisis, and that's why I suspect the ruling elite will let the economy fail as well. I've written about how half of the money printed by the Federal Reserve since its inception in 1913, was printed in the year 2020. And the money-press is still working overtime. This means inflation will go haywire, and that's not by accident. Job losses will continue, not only because of the waves of infection that are ensured by failing governments and greedy pharmaceutical corporations all over the world, but because the AI combined with GPS and monopolies on the algorithms driving it all; if you thought self-driving cars were a threat to the job-market, just wait until AI lawyers and AI medical experts become commonplace. We already have AI "journalists" that write articles by just linking them to AP's, Reuters' and other news-feeds.
This is why you'll see more and more billionaires agree that UBI (Universal Basic Income) is a must. You see, an economy that's largely depending on consumption can't survive without consumers with money to buy their products. That's why I've always said that UBI is NOT a solution to the problems that are caused by capitalism. UBI will come, you can be sure of that because it fits nicely into the plans of those who want to rule the world. It's necessary even for their plans to succeed. UBI will come, but not before, and here's the most frightening part, the central banks of the world introduce their own cryptocurrencies. Yes, UBI will be paid in CBDC's, in Central Bank Digital Currency. The horror. Just imagine, all our transactions, from cradle to grave, on an immutable and permanent ledger owned by the same central authorities that have done nothing but make our lifes miserable. And don't forget: it's programmable money. That means the bank can cut you from the economy entirely, it can control how much you can spend here or there, it can make transactions for you that they deem mandatory... There's no end to the control they have over your life. But they'll do it. They'll let the economy crash, they'll let the crisis of all crises happen, just so that they can offer UBI as a "solution," all with the convenience of digital money for which you don't even need a credit card.
