thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-28--Hollywood Fights to Free Muggers and Killers – & Lock Up Video Streamers

When George Gascon ran for DA of Los Angeles County on a platform of protecting criminals from cops , Hollywood money put him over the top .
Once Gascon got into office , he began dismantling protection for victims of violent crimes .
Even for the littlest victims .
The beneficiaries of his pro-crime policies funded by Hollywood included a monster who beat a 6-month-old baby girl so badly that her skull shattered leaving her with brain damage .
The little girl is now blind and can only eat through a feeding tube .
This is the pro-crime program that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hastings , Steven Spielberg , Warner Bros ’ first black TV head Channing Dungey , and other industry figures , had paid for .
Hollywood has been a major source of cash for pro-crime politicians and legislation that helps criminals at the expense of their victims .
Except in one particular area .
You can crush a baby ’ s skull , mug an 80-year-old woman , or break into the home of any ordinary person , but what you can ’ t do is infringe on Hollywood ’ s copyrights .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that champions muggers , rapists , and killers also embedded felony streaming into the omnibus bill that threatens offenders with anywhere from 7 to 10 years in prison for the “ unauthorized ” rebroadcasting of movies , shows , and sports over the internet .
This comes from the same industry that also funded the ‘ legalization ’ of shoplifting .
Proposition 47 essentially ended prosecution for thefts of under $ 950 , replacing them with meaningless citations .
The proposition , backed by Gascon , turned stealing anything under $ 950 into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was backed by major entertainment industry figures including Netflix CEO Reed Hastings , Brad Pitt , Judd Apatow , Edward Norton , and a roster of other stars , two of whom have since been accused of sexual abuse , under ‘ Artists for 47 ’ .
But while fighting to make stealing hundreds of dollars worth of products from stores a misdemeanor , the entertainment industry was also fighting to make streaming a felony .
Rob a grocery store and you get a citation , but streaming an NFL game is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want the same thing – to share their vision with the world and make a living doing it , ” Creative Future argues .
That ’ s a laudable thing , but why shouldn ’ t a store owner in Oakland expect to be able to earn a living without being robbed every day ?
Or are property rights reserved only for “ creative ” people working in an industry where plagiarism is the norm ?
The industry trade group lobbying for felony streaming boasts a coalition that includes AMC , the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disney , the DGA , HBO , Lionsgate , Miramax , MGM , Paramount , Sony , Warner , and the cream of the same industry lobbying to free criminals .
One Creative Future letter barked that it “ is long overdue to ensure that large-scale perpetrators of all forms of digital piracy may face meaningful criminal penalties ” .
The letter was signed by assorted industry trade groups including the DGA , of which Spielberg is a member , and SAG , of which most of the ‘ Artists for 47 ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backers are members .
There are to be “ meaningful criminal penalties ” for piracy , not for crushing a baby ’ s skull .
The DGA ’ s position is understandable considering its members include Victor Salva , a director convicted of sexually abusing the 12-year-old star of his first movie , but who went on to make horror movies produced by DGA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Francis Ford Coppola before going on to make a Disney movie with the child he had abused protesting outside .
The DGA ran an interview @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and raped a 13-year-old girl , sensitively asking the auteur , “ could you conceive of ever working in America again or would the media circus just be too much to deal with ?
” The entertainment industry prioritizes the money of its members , not the bodies of children .
Just ask DGA members John Landis and Steven Spielberg about the deaths of 7-year-old Myca Le and 6-year-old Renee Chen on the set of The Twilight Zone Movie while trying to portray the evils of America ‘ bombing ’ innocent Vietnamese children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bill is pushed by Senator Patrick Leahy , whose ties to the industry and Warners are so blatant that he had cameo roles in multiple Batman movies , and who favors all kinds of decriminalization measures for actual crimes like drugs and prostitution by minors .
But the industry likes legal drugs and minor prostitution , and hates illegal streaming .
Leahy ’ s press release for going easy on drug traffickers claims “ we can not afford to waste more and more taxpayer dollars on over-incarceration.
” Unless it ’ s incarcerating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holds his leash .
Hollywood , its trade groups , and the legislators they funded insist that their 7 to 10 years in prison for video streaming is all about “ large-scale piracy ” and won ’ t affect ordinary people .
There ’ s obviously no reason to be skeptical that the government will abuse that power .
Government never does .
Just like Hollywood and the politicians they bought never lie .
And the same industry which tried to ban the VCR while claiming that “ the VCR is to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone ” can be trusted not to overreach its power in order to maintain its grip on Americans .
“ 86.8 percent of all these owners erase or skip commercials , ” the Motion Picture Association boss had once ranted at a congressional hearing .
“ The average number of cassettes per household… 28 cassettes .
Now , if… all you are doing is you are away from home and you are taping something… you don ’ t need 28 cassettes .
You need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Why do you have 28 ?
” The same industry that treated the number of VCR tapes Americans had in their homes as evidence of a criminal conspiracy can be trusted to write reasonable and sensible laws .
“ We have the best congress money can buy , ” Will Rogers supposedly once joked .
Complaining that industry trade group lobbyists and lawyers write laws is like pointing out that water is wet .
This is the ordinary everyday corruption of our political system that resulted not only in felony streaming , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take copyright litigation out of courts and to arbitrators , allowing the industry to hit ordinary people with $ 30,000 judgements , along with assorted tax breaks that were rolled into the omnibus spending bill .
And then there ’ s a five year tax break for Hollywood that allows producers to expense $ 15 million in production costs .
But when the same industry that criminalizes those who infringe its intellectual property rights also decriminalizes robbery , rape , and assault against ordinary people , it ’ s too much .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this little child was bludgeoned over the head by a babysitter .
She suffered traumatic brain injury ; she had a skull fracture , multiple hematoma in her head , she ’ s now permanently blind and now the District Attorney wants to drop the great bodily injury allegation which would mean this defendant would be eligible for probation , she would serve no time for a heinous , heinous crime , ” Sam Dordulian , the pro bono lawyer for the family , warned .
This is the outcome that Steven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TV boss , and other industry power brokers paid for when they bought the DA election for the Black Lives Matter candidate .
Now Warner Bros , Spielberg , through the DGA , and the rest of the industry want to send people to prison for 10 years for streaming videos while crushing a baby ’ s skull gets you probation .
“ The DA of Los Angeles County has stated that all allegations involving the Great Bodily Injury of a child ( ex : burns , fractures , blindness , or broken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an LA Deputy DA warned .
Break a child ’ s bones , blind or burn him , and get off with a slap on the wrist .
But don ’ t you dare stream a movie .
Hollywood has standards .
Releasing criminals is a good thing .
Muggers , rapists , and child abusers should be on the loose .
But lock up everyone who prevents Hollywood from making as much money as it can from Frozen 3 or Big Bang Theory reruns .
It ’ s not that Hollywood opposes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its movies and it will fight to throw you into the same cell vacated by the rapists and murderers it fought to set free .
Prisons , it believes work .
So does the criminal justice system .
They must , otherwise Hollywood wouldn ’ t be pushing to send people who stream its products to prison for a decade .
It just doesn ’ t believe that thugs who break into your home should be sent to prison .
Much as it believes that guns work , when carried by its armed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you should be able to own a gun to protect your home from the criminals they set loose .
And that is the real crime .
The Left ’ s oligarchy is building a two-tier society under the guise of fighting for social justice .
Crimes that violate its property and political propriety will be punished more ruthlessly than ever , but the crimes that destroy the lives of the working class and the middle class will be legalized .
In Hollywood ’ s America , there will be chaos in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supreme power .
No shopkeeper can be safe , but every studio will be covered .
There will be police , but you won ’ t call them when you ’ re mugged : they will come when you make a meme .
There will be one law for the ruling class and another for the little people .
And these laws will be administered by the handpicked appointees of the ruling class who will stop prosecuting violent crimes , but aggressively prosecute infringements on the financial interests of the ruling class .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of America .

Rob a grocery store and you get a citation, but streaming an NFL game is a felony.
“All creative people want the same thing – to share their vision with the world and make a living doing it,” Creative Future argues. That’s a laudable thing, but why shouldn’t a store owner in Oakland expect to be able to earn a living without being robbed every day? Or are property rights reserved only for “creative” people working in an industry where plagiarism is the norm?
The industry trade group lobbying for felony streaming boasts a coalition that includes AMC, the Chinese Communist owned theater chain, CBS, Disney, the DGA, HBO, Lionsgate, Miramax, MGM, Paramount, Sony, Warner, and the cream of the same industry lobbying to free criminals.

The letter was signed by assorted industry trade groups including the DGA, of which Spielberg is a member, and SAG, of which most of the ‘Artists for 47’ and a number of Gascon’s backers are members.
There are to be “meaningful criminal penalties” for piracy, not for crushing a baby’s skull.
The DGA’s position is understandable considering its members include Victor Salva, a director convicted of sexually abusing the 12-year-old star of his first movie, but who went on to make horror movies produced by DGA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Francis Ford Coppola before going on to make a Disney movie with the child he had abused protesting outside.
The DGA ran an interview with Roman Polanski, who had drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl, sensitively asking the auteur, “could you conceive of ever working in America again or would the media circus just be too much to deal with?”
The entertainment industry prioritizes the money of its members, not the bodies of children.
Just ask DGA members John Landis and Steven Spielberg about the deaths of 7-year-old Myca Le and 6-year-old Renee Chen on the set of The Twilight Zone Movie while trying to portray the evils of America ‘bombing’ innocent Vietnamese children by fighting Communism.
The felony streaming bill is pushed by Senator Patrick Leahy, whose ties to the industry and Warners are so blatant that he had cameo roles in multiple Batman movies, and who favors all kinds of decriminalization measures for actual crimes like drugs and prostitution by minors.
But the industry likes legal drugs and minor prostitution, and hates illegal streaming.
Leahy’s press release for going easy on drug traffickers claims “we cannot afford to waste more and more taxpayer dollars on over-incarceration.”
Unless it’s incarcerating the enemies of the entertainment industry that holds his leash.
Hollywood, its trade groups, and the legislators they funded insist that their 7 to 10 years in prison for video streaming is all about “large-scale piracy” and won’t affect ordinary people. There’s obviously no reason to be skeptical that the government will abuse that power. Government never does. Just like Hollywood and the politicians they bought never lie.
And the same industry which tried to ban the VCR while claiming that “the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone” can be trusted not to overreach its power in order to maintain its grip on Americans.
“86.8 percent of all these owners erase or skip commercials,” the Motion Picture Association boss had once ranted at a congressional hearing.
“The average number of cassettes per household… 28 cassettes. Now, if… all you are doing is you are away from home and you are taping something… you don’t need 28 cassettes. You need one cassette or at the most two. Why do you have 28?”
The same industry that treated the number of VCR tapes Americans had in their homes as evidence of a criminal conspiracy can be trusted to write reasonable and sensible laws.
“We have the best congress money can buy,” Will Rogers supposedly once joked. Complaining that industry trade group lobbyists and lawyers write laws is like pointing out that water is wet.
This is the ordinary everyday corruption of our political system that resulted not only in felony streaming, but the CASE Act, a system to take copyright litigation out of courts and to arbitrators, allowing the industry to hit ordinary people with $30,000 judgements, along with assorted tax breaks that were rolled into the omnibus spending bill. And then there’s a five year tax break for Hollywood that allows producers to expense $15 million in production costs.
But when the same industry that criminalizes those who infringe its intellectual property rights also decriminalizes robbery, rape, and assault against ordinary people, it’s too much.
“At the age of 6 months, this little child was bludgeoned over the head by a babysitter. She suffered traumatic brain injury; she had a skull fracture, multiple hematoma in her head, she’s now permanently blind and now the District Attorney wants to drop the great bodily injury allegation which would mean this defendant would be eligible for probation, she would serve no time for a heinous, heinous crime,” Sam Dordulian, the pro bono lawyer for the family, warned.
This is the outcome that Steven Spielberg, Netflix, Warner’s TV boss, and other industry power brokers paid for when they bought the DA election for the Black Lives Matter candidate.
Now Warner Bros, Spielberg, through the DGA, and the rest of the industry want to send people to prison for 10 years for streaming videos while crushing a baby’s skull gets you probation.
“The DA of Los Angeles County has stated that all allegations involving the Great Bodily Injury of a child (ex: burns, fractures, blindness, or broken bones) shall be dismissed,” an LA Deputy DA warned.
Break a child’s bones, blind or burn him, and get off with a slap on the wrist. But don’t you dare stream a movie. Hollywood has standards. Releasing criminals is a good thing. Muggers, rapists, and child abusers should be on the loose. But lock up everyone who prevents Hollywood from making as much money as it can from Frozen 3 or Big Bang Theory reruns.
It’s not that Hollywood opposes criminal justice on principle. Illegally stream its movies and it will fight to throw you into the same cell vacated by the rapists and murderers it fought to set free.
Prisons, it believes work. So does the criminal justice system. They must, otherwise Hollywood wouldn’t be pushing to send people who stream its products to prison for a decade.
It just doesn’t believe that thugs who break into your home should be sent to prison.
Much as it believes that guns work, when carried by its armed bodyguards, but doesn’t believe that you should be able to own a gun to protect your home from the criminals they set loose.
And that is the real crime.
The Left’s oligarchy is building a two-tier society under the guise of fighting for social justice. Crimes that violate its property and political propriety will be punished more ruthlessly than ever, but the crimes that destroy the lives of the working class and the middle class will be legalized.
In Hollywood’s America, there will be chaos in the streets, but its corporations will wield supreme power. No shopkeeper can be safe, but every studio will be covered. There will be police, but you won’t call them when you’re mugged: they will come when you make a meme.
There will be one law for the ruling class and another for the little people. And these laws will be administered by the handpicked appointees of the ruling class who will stop prosecuting violent crimes, but aggressively prosecute infringements on the financial interests of the ruling class.
That’s not some future dystopia. It’s LA.
And it’s coming to all of America.

Tennessee Nurse Gets COVID Vaccine – Received Bells Palsy As A Bonus: “I Think This Vaccination Is The Worst Thing Ever” (Video)
As I’ve said, President Donald Trump will own these COVID vaccines and every last adverse effect that goes with them. As we’ve previously reported, Bells Palsy is one of those adverse effects from the COVID vaccines that the mainstream media, lying politicians and Big Pharma don’t want you to know about. Yet, in a heartbreaking video, a registered nurse from Tennessee confirmed that she received Bells Palsy following her COVID vaccine.
Take a look.
Though I am unable to detect her first name, Ms. Mitchell went on camera with a mask to inform the public about the results of her vaccine.
As a registered nurse in Nashville, Tennessee, Ms. Mitchell stated that she recently took the vaccine.
“After the shot, I felt fine,” she said. “But within three days, I went to the doctor because I had problems with my face.”
At this point, she removes her mask and declares, “The whole left side of my face, actually,.. um, I have Bells Palsy now, and as you can see I can’t smile.”
Her voice begins to crack and it’s clear she is emotionally distraught over the effects.”
“I just want everyone to know that I think this vaccination is the worst thing ever and I would not give this to anybody, even my worst enemy,” she said. “Please, America, they do not care about us. Do not take this vaccination.”
Indeed!
My heart goes out to this woman, but as the information is freely accessible, it’s a shame that snake oil salesmen in slick suits with fascist government ties are stealing our money to produce these poisons that do this to people like Ms. Mitchell.
While Bells Palsy is usually short lived, it is one of many serious adverse effects of these vaccines, among others.
You’ve been warned!

California:  Woman Educates People, Including Nurse, At CVS Store On Why She Won’t Wear A Mask: “They’re Lying To Us… I’m Done!” (Video)

In a viral video put out by a woman that has obviously drunk the COVID Kool-aid , a California woman confronts employees , shoppers and even a nurse in the local CVS store regarding the lies being told about COVID and masks .
The video has gone viral and this woman is saying what many of us have been saying for nearly a year !
The unidentified woman was seen challenging employees at the pharmacy who refused to serve her until she put on a face mask .
“ Doesn ’ t it occur to anyone that this doesn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ woman said .
“ That healthy people should be treated like they ’ re sick ?
” Employees could be heard arguing with the woman to wear a mask for service , to follow the state mandate and abide by the store ’ s coronavirus policies .
“ Why would I follow the nonsensical rule ?
” the shopper asked .
“ Why would I be treated like a sick person ?
” “ I will report you .
I will report you , ” the woman said after one employee informed her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to refuse her service if she does not comply .
“ So you are breaking a law here , not me.
” “ There ’ s like 36 people with COVID in the ICU .
Whenever there ’ s a flu , there ’ s only two or three patients at a time in the ICU , ” the nurse explained .
“ Literally the entire hospital is COVID cases .
This has never happened.
” “ I ’ m not saying COVID ’ s not real , I ’ m just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” the woman pushed back , adding that asymptotic spread of the virus “ has been shown to be a myth.
” “ Why am I going to be treated like a sick person ?
” she asked .
“ This is not what they are telling us it is .
It ’ s a lie.
” “ will go on and on and on as long as they feed us this lie and we comply with it.
” “ I ’ m done !
Tonight , I reached a breaking point and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m not reaching anyone here , I don ’ t care , ” she added .
“ I ’ m a healthy person .
I ’ m not crazy , ” she said .
“ This is like psychosis for everyone to put all this stuff on their face when they ’ re healthy.
” The other shopper appeared to tell the woman that she was an off-duty officer with the Los Angeles Police Department and was going to call the police .
“ Go ahead !
” the shopper responded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me because there ’ s no law.
” No , they can ’ t arrest her for not wearing a mask .
At this point , the only reason for arrest would be trespassing if she was asked to leave .
However , refusing her service due to her not wearing a mask is a violation of federal law , which we covered previously .

” The videos were tweeted out by a woman named Ty Stiklorius who wrote , “ My son & I were at CVS in Los Angeles , the epicenter of the virus where 1 person is dying every 10 mins from COVID-19 & this woman was refusing to wear a mask & arguing with everyone .
The selfishness she exhibited was intense .
It blew our minds .
My 10-yr-old has more sense.
” No , Ma ’ am .
You are as stupid as your son is .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The “ sense ” Ms. Stiklorius is referring to is stupidity and ignorance , compounded by fear .

Oh , and a big shout out to the unidentified woman !
God bless you !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Liberty Media

In a viral video put out by a woman that has obviously drunk the COVID Kool-aid, a California woman confronts employees, shoppers and even a nurse in the local CVS store regarding the lies being told about COVID and masks. The video has gone viral and this woman is saying what many of us have been saying for nearly a year!
Take a look.
The unidentified woman was seen challenging employees at the pharmacy who refused to serve her until she put on a face mask.
“Doesn’t it occur to anyone that this doesn’t make any sense?” the woman said. “That healthy people should be treated like they’re sick?”
Employees could be heard arguing with the woman to wear a mask for service, to follow the state mandate and abide by the store’s coronavirus policies.
“Why would I follow the nonsensical rule?” the shopper asked. “Why would I be treated like a sick person?”
“I will report you. I will report you,” the woman said after one employee informed her that the store’s policy allows them to refuse her service if she does not comply. “So you are breaking a law here, not me.”
“There’s like 36 people with COVID in the ICU. Whenever there’s a flu, there’s only two or three patients at a time in the ICU,” the nurse explained. “Literally the entire hospital is COVID cases. This has never happened.”
“I’m not saying COVID’s not real, I’m just saying I’m not sick,” the woman pushed back, adding that asymptotic spread of the virus “has been shown to be a myth.”
“Why am I going to be treated like a sick person?” she asked. “This is not what they are telling us it is. It’s a lie.”
“will go on and on and on as long as they feed us this lie and we comply with it.”
“I’m done! Tonight, I reached a breaking point and I’m done! I know I’m not reaching anyone here, I don’t care,” she added.
“I’m a healthy person. I’m not crazy,” she said. “This is like psychosis for everyone to put all this stuff on their face when they’re healthy.”
The other shopper appeared to tell the woman that she was an off-duty officer with the Los Angeles Police Department and was going to call the police.
“Go ahead!” the shopper responded. “They can’t arrest me because there’s no law.”
No, they can’t arrest her for not wearing a mask. At this point, the only reason for arrest would be trespassing if she was asked to leave. However, refusing her service due to her not wearing a mask is a violation of federal law, which we covered previously.
If you are an employee, here is the law, according to Title VII of H.R. 7152, aka the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“Sec. 703. (a) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer—
(1) To fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate
against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or
privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or
national origin; or
(2) To limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way which would deprive or tend
to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect
his status as an employee, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or
national origin.
(d) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for any employer, labor organization,
or joint labor-management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or
retraining, including on-the-job training programs to discriminate against any
individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in admission to, or
employment in, any program established to provide apprenticeship or other training.”
If you are a customer, here is the law, according to Title II of H.R. 7152, aka the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“Sec. 202. All persons shall be entitled to be free, at any establishment or place, from

The videos were tweeted out by a woman named Ty Stiklorius who wrote, “My son & I were at CVS in Los Angeles, the epicenter of the virus where 1 person is dying every 10 mins from COVID-19 & this woman was refusing to wear a mask & arguing with everyone. The selfishness she exhibited was intense. It blew our minds. My 10-yr-old has more sense.”
No, Ma’am. You are as stupid as your son is.
The New England Journal of Medicine writes:
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
The “sense” Ms. Stiklorius is referring to is stupidity and ignorance, compounded by fear. She can’t even prove anyone has COVID as the CDC admits it has never been isolated.
The CDC also discovered that the majority of alleged COVID cases were that of mask wearers.
Furthermore, in her attempt to berate this healthy woman who refuses to submit to the fear of lying tyrants and people like Ms. Stiklorius, she has put the message regarding the lies of COVID and mask wearing out to a bigger audience than the woman intended.
As we say here, “Let their cruelties swell our ranks.”
Unbeknownst to the ignorant fascists like Ms. Stiklorius, she just gave voice to this woman to millions of people around the world on how to stand up to bullies like Stiklorius and tyrants. One can only say thank you for such ignorant people God uses in proclaiming the truth.
Oh, and a big shout out to the unidentified woman! God bless you!

So basically, you can still get the coronavirus if you get two shots of the “effective” COVID-19 vaccine. And then you’ll be “asymptomatic” and won’t know you’re sick, and could still infect others.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-30--The Great Reset, Part II: Corporate Socialism

In part one of Michael Rectenwald ‘ s series on The Great Reset , he outlined that the future of that goal is reduced expectations by the public and a bio-techo-feudalism imposed upon the populace .
In the second part of the series , he addresses corporate socialism , something that seems to evade many political junkies who are against regular welfare but don ’ t speak out to loudly when it comes to corporate welfare , like some of that in the last two stimulus bills .
• The Witches Of BLM & The Great Reset : What They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Before The “ Great Reset ” : Economic War With China As I noted in the previous installment , the Great Reset , if its architects have their way , would involve transformations of nearly every aspect of life .
Here , I will limit my discussion to the economics of the Great Reset as promoted by the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) , as well as to recent developments that have advanced these plans .
As F.A .
Hayek suggested in his introductory essay to Collectivist Economic Planning , socialism can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ends and the means .
The socialist means is collectivist planning , while the ends , at least under proletarian socialism , are the collective ownership of the means of production and the “ equal ” or “ equitable ” distribution of the end products .
Distinguishing between these two aspects in order to set aside the question of the ends and to focus on the means , Hayek suggested that collectivist planning could be marshalled in the service of ends other than those associated with proletarian socialism : “ An aristocratic dictatorship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same methods to further the interest of some racial or other elite or in the service of some other decidedly anti-equalitarian purpose.
” Collectivist planning might or might not run into the calculation problem , depending upon whether or not a market in the factors of production is retained .
If a market for the factors of production is maintained , then the calculation problem would not strictly apply .
The collectivist planners of the Great Reset do not aim at eliminating markets for the factors of production .
Rather , they mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most important factors to those enrolled in “ stakeholder capitalism.
” The productive activities of said stakeholders , meanwhile , would be guided by the directives of a coalition of governments under a unified mission and set of policies , in particular those expounded by the WEF itself .
While these corporate stakeholders would not necessarily be monopolies per se , the goal of the WEF is to vest as much control over production and distribution in these corporate stakeholders as possible , with the goal of eliminating producers whose products or processes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the globalists ’ desiderata for “ a fairer , greener future.
” Naturally , this would involve constraints on production and consumption and likewise an expanded role for governments in order to enforce such constraints—or , as Klaus Schwab has stated in the context of the covid crisis , “ the return of big government ” —as if government hasn ’ t been big and growing bigger all the while .
Schwab and the WEF promote stakeholder capitalism against a supposedly rampant “ neoliberalism.
” Neoliberalism is a weasel word that stands for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order .
It is the common enemy of the Left .
Needless to say , neoliberalism—which Schwab loosely defines as “ a corpus of ideas and policies that can loosely be defined as favouring competition over solidarity , creative destruction over government intervention and economic growth over social welfare ” —is a straw man .
Schwab and company erect neoliberalism as the source of our economic woes .
But to the extent that “ antineoliberalism ” has been in play , the governmental favoring of industries and players within industries ( or corporatocracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been the source of what Schwab and his ilk decry .
The Great Reset would magnify the effects of corporatocracy .
Nevertheless , the aims of the WEF are not to plan every aspect of production and thus to direct all individual activity .
Rather , the goal is to limit the possibilities for individual activity , including the activity of consumers—by dint of squeezing out industries and producers within industries from the economy .
“ Every country , from the United States to China , must participate , and every industry , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be transformed.
” As Hayek noted , “ when the medieval guild system was at its height , and when restrictions to commerce were most extensive , they were not used as a means actually to direct individual activity.
” Likewise , the Great Reset aims not at a strictly collectivist planning of the economy so much as recommends and demands neofeudalistic restrictions that would go further than anything since the medieval period—other than under state socialism itself , that is .
In 1935 , Hayek noted the extent to which economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the market : How much further , then , the Great Reset would take us toward the kinds of restrictions imposed under feudalism , including the economic stasis that feudalism entailed !
I call this neofeudalism “ corporate socialism ” —not only because the rhetoric to gain adherents derives from socialist ideology ( “ fairness , ” “ economic equality , ” “ collective good , ” “ shared destiny , ” etc . )
but also because the reality sought after is de facto monopolistic control of production via the elimination of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over production that is characteristic of socialism .
These interventions would not only add to the “ interventionist chaos ” already in existence but further distort markets to a degree unprecedented outside of centralized socialist planning per se .
The elites could attempt to determine , a priori , consumer needs and wants by limiting production to acceptable goods and services .
They would also limit production to the kinds amenable to the governments and producers who buy into the program .
The added regulations would drive midsized and small producers out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the extent that black markets could exist under a digital currency and greater centralized banking .
As such , the restrictions and regulations would tend toward a static caste-like system with corporate oligarchs on top , and “ actually existing socialism ” for the vast majority below .
Increasing wealth for the few , “ economic equality , ” under reduced conditions , including universal basic income , for the rest .

Facebook ’ s total users climbed to 3 billion in March , or two-thirds of the world ’ s internet users , a record .

The number of small businesses has been nearly cut in half by the covid-19 lockdowns and the Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots while the corporate giants have consolidated their grip on the economy , as well as their power over individual expression on the internet and beyond .
Thus , it would appear that the covid lockdowns , shutdowns , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ riots are just what the Great Resetters ordered , although I am not hereby suggesting that they did order them .
More likely , they have seized the opportunity to cull from the economy the underbrush of small and medium-sized businesses in order to make compliance simpler and more pervasive .
In the end , the Great Reset is merely a propaganda campaign , not some button that globalist oligarchs can push at will—although the WEF has represented it as just that .
Their plans need to be countered with better economic ideas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasonable response to the Great Reset project is to defy it , to introduce and promote more competition , and to demand the full reopening of the economy , at whatever peril .
If this means that smaller-scale producers and distributors must band together to defy state edicts , then so be it .

Rather, they mean to drive ownership and control of the most important factors to those enrolled in “stakeholder capitalism.” The productive activities of said stakeholders, meanwhile, would be guided by the directives of a coalition of governments under a unified mission and set of policies, in particular those expounded by the WEF itself.
While these corporate stakeholders would not necessarily be monopolies per se, the goal of the WEF is to vest as much control over production and distribution in these corporate stakeholders as possible, with the goal of eliminating producers whose products or processes are deemed either unnecessary or inimical to the globalists’ desiderata for “a fairer, greener future.” Naturally, this would involve constraints on production and consumption and likewise an expanded role for governments in order to enforce such constraints—or, as Klaus Schwab has stated in the context of the covid crisis, “the return of big government” —as if government hasn’t been big and growing bigger all the while.
Schwab and the WEF promote stakeholder capitalism against a supposedly rampant “neoliberalism.” Neoliberalism is a weasel word that stands for whatever leftists deem wrong with the socioeconomic order. It is the common enemy of the Left. Needless to say, neoliberalism—which Schwab loosely defines as “a corpus of ideas and policies that can loosely be defined as favouring competition over solidarity, creative destruction over government intervention and economic growth over social welfare” —is a straw man.

Nevertheless, the aims of the WEF are not to plan every aspect of production and thus to direct all individual activity. Rather, the goal is to limit the possibilities for individual activity, including the activity of consumers—by dint of squeezing out industries and producers within industries from the economy. “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed.”
As Hayek noted, “when the medieval guild system was at its height, and when restrictions to commerce were most extensive, they were not used as a means actually to direct individual activity.” Likewise, the Great Reset aims not at a strictly collectivist planning of the economy so much as recommends and demands neofeudalistic restrictions that would go further than anything since the medieval period—other than under state socialism itself, that is. In 1935, Hayek noted the extent to which economic restrictions had already led to distortions of the market:
With our attempts to use the old apparatus of restrictionism as an instrument of almost day-to-day adjustment to change we have probably already gone much further in the direction of central planning of current activity than has ever been attempted before….It is important to realize in any investigation of the possibilities of planning that it is a fallacy to suppose capitalism as it exists to-day is the alternative. We are certainly as far from capitalism in its pure form as we are from any system of central planning. The world of to-day is just interventionist chaos.
How much further, then, the Great Reset would take us toward the kinds of restrictions imposed under feudalism, including the economic stasis that feudalism entailed!
I call this neofeudalism “corporate socialism”—not only because the rhetoric to gain adherents derives from socialist ideology (“fairness,” “economic equality,” “collective good,” “shared destiny,” etc.) but also because the reality sought after is de facto monopolistic control of production via the elimination of noncompliant producers—i.e., a tendency toward monopoly over production that is characteristic of socialism. These interventions would not only add to the “interventionist chaos” already in existence but further distort markets to a degree unprecedented outside of centralized socialist planning per se. The elites could attempt to determine, a priori, consumer needs and wants by limiting production to acceptable goods and services. They would also limit production to the kinds amenable to the governments and producers who buy into the program. The added regulations would drive midsized and small producers out of business or into black markets, to the extent that black markets could exist under a digital currency and greater centralized banking. As such, the restrictions and regulations would tend toward a static caste-like system with corporate oligarchs on top, and “actually existing socialism” for the vast majority below. Increasing wealth for the few, “economic equality,” under reduced conditions, including universal basic income, for the rest.
The Coronavirus Lockdowns, the Riots, and Corporate Socialism
The covid-19 lockdowns, and to a lesser extent the leftist riots, have been moving us toward corporate socialism. The draconian lockdown measures employed by governors and mayors and the destruction perpetrated by the rioters just so happen to be doing the work that corporate socialists like the WEF want done. In addition to destabilizing the nation-state, these policies and politics are helping to destroy small businesses, thus eliminating competitors.
As the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) points out, the lockdowns and riots have combined to level a one-two punch that is knocking out millions of small businesses—“the backbone of the American economy”—all across America. FEE reported that
7.5 million small businesses in America are at risk of closing their doors for good. A more recent survey showed that even with federal loans, close to half of all small business owners say they’ll have to shut down for good. The toll has already been severe. In New York alone, stay-at-home orders have forced the permanent closure of more than 100,000 small businesses.
Meanwhile, as FEE and others have noted, there is no evidence that the lockdowns have done anything to slow the spread of the virus. Likewise, there is no evidence that Black Lives Matter has done anything to help black lives. If anything, the riotous and murderous campaigns of Black Lives Matter and Antifa have proven that black lives do not matter to Black Lives Matter. In addition to murdering black people, the Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters have done enormous damage to black businesses and neighborhoods, and thus to black lives.
As small businesses have been crushed by the combination of draconian lockdowns and riotous lunacy, corporate giants like Amazon have thrived like never before. As BBC noted, at least three of the tech giants—Amazon, Apple, and Facebook—have appreciated massive gains during the lockdowns, gains which were abetted, to a lesser extent, by riots that cost 1 to 2 billion in property damages. During the three months ending in June, Amazon’s “quarterly profit of $5.2bn (£4bn) was the biggest since the company’s start in 1994 and came despite heavy spending on protective gear and other measures due to the virus.” Amazon’s sales rose by 40 percent in the three months ending in June.
As reported by TechCrunch, Facebook and its WhatsApp and Instagram platforms saw a 15 percent rise in users, which brought revenues to a grand total of $17.74 billion in the first quarter. Facebook’s total users climbed to 3 billion in March, or two-thirds of the world’s internet users, a record. Apple’s revenues soared during the same period, with quarterly earnings rising 11 percent year-on-year to $59.7 billion. “Walmart, the country’s largest grocer, said profits rose 4 percent, to $3.99 billion,” during the first quarter of 2020, as reported by the Washington Post.
The number of small businesses has been nearly cut in half by the covid-19 lockdowns and the Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots while the corporate giants have consolidated their grip on the economy, as well as their power over individual expression on the internet and beyond. Thus, it would appear that the covid lockdowns, shutdowns, partial closings, as well as the riots are just what the Great Resetters ordered, although I am not hereby suggesting that they did order them. More likely, they have seized the opportunity to cull from the economy the underbrush of small and medium-sized businesses in order to make compliance simpler and more pervasive.
In the end, the Great Reset is merely a propaganda campaign, not some button that globalist oligarchs can push at will—although the WEF has represented it as just that. Their plans need to be countered with better economic ideas and concerted individual actions. The only reasonable response to the Great Reset project is to defy it, to introduce and promote more competition, and to demand the full reopening of the economy, at whatever peril. If this means that smaller-scale producers and distributors must band together to defy state edicts, then so be it. New business associations, with the aim of foiling the Great Reset, must be formed—before it’s is too late.
And here we are. Sadly, many today are more concerned with promoting their political parties than the law. Moreover, many simply cannot believe that their side pushes corporate socialism, which is against the law, while they oppose their political opposition which promotes socialism for all. It’s astounding, but the truth will prevail and people will learn the easy way and correct this matter or they will learn the hard way and continue in their enslavement to their corporate fascist masters.

Fear control is when in an individual is acting to keep his fear at bay, which is not the desired behavior a fear message is supposed to induce. An effective appeal motivates one to act to alleviate the danger, requiring the desired behavioral change. There is no better example of a fear appeal than the messaging driving the Covid-19 agenda. The appeal is getting ill from a new, unknown virus and the recommended course of action is total compliance with government dictates. This has been highly effective due to a constant stream of never-ending propaganda depicting Covid-19 as a global pandemic. Interestingly, fear messages are most effective when presented with a one-time behavioral adjustment opposed to repeated behaviors.[4] Mask wearing, and economic shutdowns cannot be considered one-time changes, but extreme courses of action requiring dedication. This will be discussed in greater detail soon. The overall findings of this study show that fear appeals are remarkably effective in influencing behavioral and attitude changes.

Other states, like New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota face similar fates while most states across America have suffered massive layoffs in the restaurant industry.

The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report on December 4 showed employment in leisure and hospitality is down by 3.4 million jobs since February. About 17,000 jobs in “food services and drinking places” were cut in November alone.
In the meantime, the feds decided to collectively kick America in the teeth and are telling citizens that $600 should cover everyone’s issues. As a result of the gross incompetence among those in power, food lines are growing longer by the day as Americans experience a food shortage akin to the great depression.
Despite massive unemployment, widespread homelessness, and the closure of thousands of small businesses in California, Newsom seems hellbent on continuing the tyrannical lockdown. After sitting idly by for months and complying, some restaurant owners are waging a campaign of resistance.

Roman’s dedication to resistance was inspiring as he refused to back down, even after police arrived on the scene.
“He wants to come in here and say that no one can work, so he can’t work either,” Roman told the LAPD officer who showed up. “He decided to come today and take photos of the people outside and say that he was going to fine us,” he explained.
Amazingly enough, the officer in the video below chose not to arrest or cite Roman and diffused the situation without force. For this, she deserves acclaim.
