Abiometric digital identity platform that “ evolves just as you evolve ” is set to be introduced in “ low-income , remote communities ” in West Africa thanks to a public-private partnership between the Bill Gates-backed GAVI vaccine alliance , Mastercard and the AI-powered “ identity authentication ” company , Trust Stamp .

From MintPressNews in July 2020:
Abiometric digital identity platform that “evolves just as you evolve” is set to be introduced in “low-income, remote communities” in West Africa thanks to a public-private partnership between the Bill Gates-backed GAVI vaccine alliance, Mastercard and the AI-powered “identity authentication” company, Trust Stamp.
The program, which was first launched in late 2018, will see Trust Stamp’s digital identity platform integrated into the GAVI-Mastercard “Wellness Pass,” a digital vaccination record and identity system that is also linked to Mastercard’s click-to-play system that powered by its AI and machine learning technology called NuData.

The effort, since its launch nearly two years ago, has been funded via $3.8 million in GAVI donor funds in addition to a matched donation of the same amount by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
In early June, GAVI reported that Mastercard’s Wellness Pass program would be adapted in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Around a month later, Mastercard announced that Trust Stamp’s biometric identity platform would be integrated into Wellness Pass as Trust Stamp’s system is capable of providing biometric identity in areas of the world lacking internet access or cellular connectivity and also does not require knowledge of an individual’s legal name or identity to function. The Wellness Program involving GAVI, Mastercard, and Trust Stamp will soon be launched in West Africa and will be coupled with a Covid-19 vaccination program once a vaccine becomes available.
The push to implement biometrics as part of national ID registration systems has been ongoing for many years on the continent and has become a highly politicized issue in several African countries. Opposition to similar projects in Africa often revolves around the costs surrounding them, such as the biometric voter management system that the Electoral Commission of Ghana has been trying to implement ahead of their 2020 general election in December. Bright Simons, honorary VP of the IMANI policy think tank, has questioned the “budgetary allocation” for the new system, claiming that the “unnecessary registration of 17 million people all over again” represents millions of dollars “being blown for reasons that nobody can explain in this country.”
Masking ulterior motives
Trust Stamp’s biometric identity system, largely funded by Mastercard’s massive investment in the company in February, utilizes a technology it calls Evergreen Hash that creates an AI-generated “3D mask” based on a single photo of a person’s face, palm or fingerprint. Once this “mask” is created, much of the original data is discarded and encryption keys are created in place of a person’s name or other more traditional identifiers.
“Only a small percentage of the data that originally existed is in the hash,” Trust Stamp CEO Gareth Genner has stated. “What you have is something safer for storing because it can’t be used to directly identify you. No one would recognize you in this huge jumble of numbers.” The result, according to Genner, is an “irreversible non-personally identifiable information” system that “protects privacy, reduces potential for misuse and allows effective inclusion when there is no other form of legal record.”
Genner also explained in a recent press release that the unique “hash” is capable of “evolving” as a new hash with updated health information is created every time a child or individual gets a vaccine. Trust Stamp’s AI algorithms can accurately determine if different hashes belong to the same individual, meaning that “the hash evolves over time just as you evolve,” said Genner.
It is unclear how much the Wellness Pass initiative is motivated by public health concerns as opposed to free market considerations. Indeed, the GAVI alliance, largely funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates and Rockefeller Foundations, as well as allied governments and the vaccine industry, is principally concerned with improving “the health of markets for vaccines and other immunization products,” rather than the health of individuals, according to its own website. Similarly, Mastercard’s GAVI partnership is directly linked to its “World Beyond Cash” effort, which mainly bolsters its business model that has long depended on a reduction in the use of physical cash.
Dual use tyranny
Trust Stamp also shares this market-focused vision for its digital identity system as the company has stated that it is looking for new commercialization options for its Evergreen Hash technology, specifically with prison systems. Talks with private and public prison systems have revealed an interest in their utilization of Trust Stamp’s technology to provide identification for individuals on parole “without making them pay for pricey ankle bracelets that monitor their every move,” as Trust Stamp’s platform would ostensibly provide that same function but in a “touchless” and less expensive manner.
Trust Stamp’s interest in providing its technology to both COVID-19 response and to law enforcement is part of a growing trend where numerous companies providing digital solutions to COVID-19 also offer the same solutions to prison systems and law enforcement for the purposes of surveillance and “predictive policing.”
For instance, contact tracing software originally introduced as part of the COVID-19 response has since been used by police departments across the U.S. to track protesters during the country’s recent bouts of protests and civil unrest. Similarly, a controversial Israeli tech firm currently being used in Rhode Island offers AI-powered predictive analytic to identify likely future COVID-19 hotspots and individuals likely to contract COVID-19 in the future, while also offering governments the ability to predict future locations of and participants in riots and civil unrest.
What is perhaps most alarming about this new “Wellness Pass” initiative, is that it links these “dual use” digital solutions to cashless payment solutions that could soon become mandated as anything over than touchless, cashless, methods of payment have been treated as potential modes for contagion by GAVI-aligned groups like the World Health Organization, among others, since the pandemic was first declared earlier this year.

It is time to take action again !
It is time to take the destiny of our world in our own hands !
We all agree that the process of planetary liberation is taking too long .
Here is our chance to collectively speed up the process .
Therefore we are using the opportunity of the powerful Jupiter Saturn great conjunction on December 21st to create a portal through which we will unify our consciousness and trigger the process that will lead us into the Age of Aquarius .
Make this viral !
Share it worldwide !
Please post it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spiritual groups to join us .
If you know an alternative media outlet , you can send it to them .
You can create a Facebook event for your local group of people doing this in your part of the world .
We also need one main Facebook group for this event .
You can create a video about this and post it on Youtube .
Scientific studies have confirmed positive effects of mass meditations and activations on human society , so each of you that will participate in this activation can actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to us : This activation helps the Light forces to ground the energy of Light on the surface of the planet to further stabilize the timeline that will lead into the long awaited Age of Aquarius .
Number of people doing that activation is the single most influential factor within the power of the surface human population for speeding up the process .
We can reach the critical mass of 144,000 people doing this activation !
We can even reach one million !
This will create a massive healing chain reaction in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on December 21st completes the 2020 Age of Aquarius timeline stargate which has opened on January 12th with Saturn Pluto conjunction , had its turning point on June 30th with Jupiter Pluto conjunction and will close on December 21th with Jupiter Saturn conjunction : The purpose of the whole 2020 Age of Aquarius timeline stargate is to stabilize the Age of Aquarius positive timeline for the planet .
During 2020 , the dark forces have tried their hardest to prevent the positive Ascension timeline from manifesting .
Now it is our collective chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anchored , secured and stabilized forever , and to ensure that the rest of the planetary liberation process occurs smoothly and rapidly .
There will be many powerful astrological configurations in December , leading to our main activation on December 21st .
Each of those configurations will be a stepping stone to our main activation .
First , there will be Pluto Eris square on December 10th , becoming exact at 22:06 UTC .
Then , there will be a total Solar eclipse on December 14th at 16:14 UTC .
After that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at 05:04 UTC , and Jupiter will enter Aquarius a few days later on December 19th at 13:08 UTC .
Pluto Eris square is the energy of the warrior goddess fighting against establishment .
Total Solar eclipse on December 14th will display a mutable cross of Sun , Moon and Mercury conjunct , squaring Neptune , squaring Lunar node , squaring Vesta .
This energy will bring rapid disillusionment in many areas for the surface population .
Saturn and Jupiter entering Aquarius will start bringing much needed Aquarian energy to the surface of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of major planets or asteroids staying in Aquarius from then on , until the year 2043 .
The great Jupiter Saturn conjunction on December 21st is the first great conjunction in Aquarius since 1405 , and it is happening exactly on the day of the winter solstice .
This is the moment when the first long awaited energies of the Age of Aquarius will finally begin flowing in : It is the closest great conjunction since 1623 , Jupiter and Saturn will be so close together that you will almost see them as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a telescope you will be able to see both planets very close together , their many moons almost apparently touching : Jupiter and Saturn at 0 degrees 29 minutes Aquarius will make an exact grand trine with Alcyone ( our local central sun in the Pleiades ) at 0 degrees 17 minutes Gemini , and M87 galaxy ( a major galaxy in the Virgo cluster , as source of galactic love for this sector of the universe ) at 1 degrees 13 minutes Libra .
This grand trine will bring extremely powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and this will be the trigger that will begin the Age of Aquarius new cycle .
The flash of cosmic love energies will originate from the M87 galaxy in Virgo supercluster and it will be much more powerful than the flash which reached the Earth from M87 during the AION portal activation : We will be doing our Age of Aquarius meditation at the exact moment of Jupiter Saturn conjunction on December 21st , which will be at 6:22 pm UTC .
This equals 10:22 am PST in Los Angeles , 11:22 am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CST in Chicago , 1:22 pm EST in New York , 6:22 pm GMT in London , 7:22 pm CET in Paris , 8:22 pm EET in Cairo , 2:22 am CST on Tuesday , December 22nd in Taipei and Beijing , 3:22 am JST on December 22nd in Tokyo and 5:22 am AEDT on December 22nd in Sydney .

prepareforchange--2020-11-14--False Positive Covid Tests Will Extend Unjustified Lockdowns, Fauci Admits ‘Miniscule’ Accuracy

Whether you live in the USA or most of Europe , one thing remains true : Covid-19 testing regimes are being aggressively pushed onto populations .
Masked populations in some countries have been told ( again ) they can not leave their homes .
Economies and personal lives remain stunted and manipulated by government edicts .
The ticket to a ‘ new normal ’ freedom has been dangled : A PCR Covid test .
In February , according to NPR , an internal review at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) confirmed Covid tests could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but CDC sent them out across the country anyway .
But that ’ s not the whole story of the CDC ’ s issues with quality control .
Timothy Stenzel , director of the Food and Drug Administration ’ s ( FDA ) Office of InVitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health , visited the CDC ’ s respiratory disease lab and found sloppy lab protocols .
Months latter , Stenzel ’ s own agency was disgraced as they approved tests for Emergency Use Authorization without even the most basic vetting .
The FDA ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their product was valid and labeled as unapproved .
The result was a flood of 170 tests—many from China , which only complicated the problem .
That ’ s bad , but here ’ s the real story .
The ‘ mainstream ’ narrative was allowed to change on August 29th , when the NY Times published Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive .
Maybe It Shouldn ’ t Be .
The article touched on ideas that , up until then , were only considered to be spread by ‘ conspiracy theorists ’ peddling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false positives and no way of determining the amount of virus in someone ’ s body .
The test provides little if any sense of how contagious a person may be .
If they even have the virus to begin with !
The polymerase chain reaction ( or PCR test ) , amplifies viral RNA using multiple cycles to produce a detectable amount .
The cycle threshold ( CT ) value is the number of cycles necessary to spot the virus .
The false positives come down to a question of testing cycles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Most tests set the limit at 40 , a few at 37…The C.D.C.
’ s own calculations suggest that it is extremely difficult to detect any live virus in a sample above a threshold of 33 cycles .
Officials at some state labs said the C.D.C .
had not asked them to note threshold values or to share them with contact-tracing organizations.
” Dr. Anthony Fauci recently echoed the previous findings , long-reported by the independent media and other lone voices .
Despite open knowledge of false positives from high testing cycles , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s now “ Sorta evolving into a bit of a standard.
” Why is he now openly admitting what has been known for years ?
Fauci added , “ If you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more that the chances of it being replication competent are miniscule.
” Got that , minuscule .
Fauci didn ’ t stop there .
“ You almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle .
So I think if someone does come in with a 37…38 , even 36 , ya @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s just dead nucleotides .
Period.
” After hearing Fauci , the next logical question for populations being held under lock and key is : What cycle thresholds are being run on the current Covid tests ?
Investigative journalist Jon Rappoport writes , “ What Fauci failed to say on the video is : the FDA , which authorizes the test for public use , recommends the test should be run up to 40 cycles .
Not 35 .
Therefore , all labs in the US that follow the FDA guideline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The NY Times investigation confirmed that officials at the Wadsworth Center , New York ’ s state lab identified positive tests based on a threshold of 40 cycles .
Likewise in Massachusetts , “ from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles , ” writes the NY Times .
This is not just an American phenomenon .
In August in the U.K. , Tom Jefferson , Carl Heneghan and others at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Are you infectious if you have a positive PCR test result for COVID-19 ?
The team cited several studies and concluded , “ limited data of variable quality that PCR results per se are unlikely to predict viral culture from human samples….The relation with infectiousness is unclear and more data are needed on this .
If this is not understood , PCR results may lead to restrictions for large groups of people who do not present an infection risk.
” On two separate occasions , Jefferson and Heneghan attempted to warn UK Prime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They called for a national program of testing quality control to ensure accurate , precise and consistent results , among other common sense ideas .
The two had said they searched in vain for evidence that the tests in use in the UK have been independently validated .
They further called for transparency around data showing how sensitive the laboratory processes have been .
In the UK , the reality of false positives is urgent .
Johnson and his gaggle of tone deaf officials are rolling out mandatory testing for all residents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DailyMail reports , “ around 1,000 soldiers will be deployed ” to force more than 100,000 people to get tested .
Those who have questioned the move are being banned from social media .
After looking at the mass testing proposal in Liverpool , Bristol public health consultant Angela Raffle told The Guardian , “ Experience with screening tells us that if you embark on a screening programme without having carefully evaluated it first , without a proper quality-assured pathway , without certainty of test performance in field settings , without full information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ensure that the intervention needed for those with positive results does indeed take place , the result is an expensive mess that does more harm than good , ” With mortality rates well below anything seen at the height of the ‘ first wave , ’ mass testing programs are sure to artificially inflate [ false ] cases .

From TheHighWire.com:
By Jefferey Jaxen
Whether you live in the USA or most of Europe, one thing remains true: Covid-19 testing regimes are being aggressively pushed onto populations.
Masked populations in some countries have been told (again) they cannot leave their homes. Economies and personal lives remain stunted and manipulated by government edicts. The ticket to a ‘new normal’ freedom has been dangled: A PCR Covid test.
In February, according to NPR, an internal review at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed Covid tests could be wrong 33% of the time – but CDC sent them out across the country anyway.
But that’s not the whole story of the CDC’s issues with quality control. Timothy Stenzel, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Office of InVitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health, visited the CDC’s respiratory disease lab and found sloppy lab protocols.
Months latter, Stenzel’s own agency was disgraced as they approved tests for Emergency Use Authorization without even the most basic vetting. The FDA’s policy required only that companies attest their product was valid and labeled as unapproved. The result was a flood of 170 tests—many from China, which only complicated the problem.
That’s bad, but here’s the real story. The ‘mainstream’ narrative was allowed to change on August 29th, when the NY Times published Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.
The article touched on ideas that, up until then, were only considered to be spread by ‘conspiracy theorists’ peddling censorable ‘misinformation.’ The issues: false positives and no way of determining the amount of virus in someone’s body. The test provides little if any sense of how contagious a person may be. If they even have the virus to begin with!
The polymerase chain reaction (or PCR test), amplifies viral RNA using multiple cycles to produce a detectable amount. The cycle threshold (CT) value is the number of cycles necessary to spot the virus. The false positives come down to a question of testing cycles.
From the NY Times: “Most tests set the limit at 40, a few at 37…The C.D.C.’s own calculations suggest that it is extremely difficult to detect any live virus in a sample above a threshold of 33 cycles. Officials at some state labs said the C.D.C. had not asked them to note threshold values or to share them with contact-tracing organizations.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci recently echoed the previous findings, long-reported by the independent media and other lone voices. Despite open knowledge of false positives from high testing cycles, Dr. Fauci made the unfathomable claim that it’s now “Sorta evolving into a bit of a standard.” Why is he now openly admitting what has been known for years?
Fauci added, “If you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more that the chances of it being replication competent are miniscule.” Got that, minuscule. Fauci didn’t stop there. “You almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle. So I think if someone does come in with a 37…38, even 36, ya gotta say, ya know, it’s just dead nucleotides. Period.”
After hearing Fauci, the next logical question for populations being held under lock and key is: What cycle thresholds are being run on the current Covid tests?
Investigative journalist Jon Rappoport writes, “What Fauci failed to say on the video is: the FDA, which authorizes the test for public use, recommends the test should be run up to 40 cycles. Not 35. Therefore, all labs in the US that follow the FDA guideline are knowingly or unknowingly participating in fraud.”
The NY Times investigation confirmed that officials at the Wadsworth Center, New York’s state lab identified positive tests based on a threshold of 40 cycles. Likewise in Massachusetts, “from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles,” writes the NY Times.
This is not just an American phenomenon. In August in the U.K., Tom Jefferson, Carl Heneghan and others at the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine asked Are you infectious if you have a positive PCR test result for COVID-19?
The team cited several studies and concluded, “limited data of variable quality that PCR results per se are unlikely to predict viral culture from human samples….The relation with infectiousness is unclear and more data are needed on this. If this is not understood, PCR results may lead to restrictions for large groups of people who do not present an infection risk.”
On two separate occasions, Jefferson and Heneghan attempted to warn UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson against the lockdown strategy. They called for a national program of testing quality control to ensure accurate, precise and consistent results, among other common sense ideas. The two had said they searched in vain for evidence that the tests in use in the UK have been independently validated. They further called for transparency around data showing how sensitive the laboratory processes have been.
In the UK, the reality of false positives is urgent. Johnson and his gaggle of tone deaf officials are rolling out mandatory testing for all residents of four towns and counting. The DailyMail reports, “around 1,000 soldiers will be deployed” to force more than 100,000 people to get tested. Those who have questioned the move are being banned from social media.
After looking at the mass testing proposal in Liverpool, Bristol public health consultant Angela Raffle told The Guardian, “Experience with screening tells us that if you embark on a screening programme without having carefully evaluated it first, without a proper quality-assured pathway, without certainty of test performance in field settings, without full information for participants, and without the means to ensure that the intervention needed for those with positive results does indeed take place, the result is an expensive mess that does more harm than good,”
With mortality rates well below anything seen at the height of the ‘first wave,’ mass testing programs are sure to artificially inflate [false] cases. This will give the government its much-needed excuse to continue the unscientific, harmful and inhuman lockdown treatments of their populations. Expect multilevel revolt in the weeks…or maybe even days…as civil disobedience escalates.

Mercury has been in Retrograde since 13th October, and we can surely feel the energy. On the 3rd, it finally turned Direct, bringing us some relief from all the delays and miscommunications.
With Mercury staying Direct for the rest of the year, this is our time to take the lessons we learned during the Retrograde and move ahead with bold decisions.
Here’s how the zodiacs will be utilizing the Mercury energy:
Aries
Your ruler Mars is still in Retrograde for some days, but Mercury turning Direct is surely going to help. Think of the emotions that have surfaced recently. If you don’t want to act on them immediately, you can at least share what you learned. If you have things that need a second glance, don’t be shy.
Taurus
You have received some unexpected news while Mercury was in Retrograde. You’re trying hard to get a good grasp of it, but if it is still not crystal clear, don’t stress over it. You need to start a new journey that will help you fully understand that surprise. And stop waiting for inspiration to hit you. Start working, and things will be better in no time.
Gemini
This Retrograde period has been your time for introspection. You don’t like looking at your darker self, but it is you nonetheless. You can try sharing your feelings with someone who can help you deal with the situation better. Have faith in yourself first.
Cancer
You cannot just build walls around you and stop yourself from living your life. Sure, you value your peace, but you’re giving up too much for it. The past weeks have shown you your true strength. You have survived things you were most scared of. As long as you can hold on to your anchor, you can get a lot done!
Leo
The Mercury Retrograde has taught you much about yourself. Now you realize that the path you were undertaking wasn’t the right one. And you’re ready to shake things up. Let your emotions pour out and be true to yourself.
Virgo
With Mercury turning Direct, now is the best time for you to deal with your emotions. Yes, you tend to avoid this topic, but you have to face your reality. Not everything will go according to your plan always. If you can stick to your authentic self and work with the current energies honestly, you will start to heal.
Libra
Mercury is turning Direct in your sign, and it is going to bring balance to your life. If you feel the energies are too potent, remember to deal with one thing at a time. You have been seeking this balance for a long time, and it is finally here. Ask yourself how you feel and what your highest truth is. Then make adjustments accordingly.
Scorpio
You have some hidden secrets that you want to avoid, but Mercury is going to bring them to the front now. If you want to be happy, deal with the pending work first. You have gained clarity on some topics, so make the most of this time.
Sagittarius
While the Mercury Retrograde took your deep into your feelings, the next few weeks will take you deeper. Forget what the world thinks, and just let it all out. Only the truth matters. And that might require a complete renewal of all your believes and plans. Don’t be afraid now.
Capricorn
The last few weeks showed you your inner truth and also the truth about the world. Now you need to embrace your authentic self and forget those mistakes. The more you try to ignore the truth, the more you will suffer in the coming months. Everyone makes mistakes, and so did you. Now move on.
Aquarius
Despite your constant naggings about being independent, you too crave the warm embrace of a loved one. Mercury has highlighted this side of yours, and you can accept it now. You can let the guard down at times to show your true skin. Accept both sides of yourself and create a happy life out of it.
Pisces
The last Mercury Retrograde of the year had you facing your worst fears. The fact that you faced them instead of running away shows your growth. You have overcome one hill, many more are still waiting. With Mercury turning Direct, you need to be patient with others. Speak your mind when the situation demands it, but also know when to keep quiet. Mercury has some plans for you!

prepareforchange--2020-11-16--Thoughts From A Reader – The Final Straw

I will not be participating in any Cobra meditations because there is no proof that the light forces are helping the surface population .
It is unacceptable to just ‘ wait for the next meditation ’ to fix everything like this over and over again , for years on end , especially with NWO plans being practically finalized !
COVID case numbers are going absolutely insane , and restrictions are returning , with the very real possibility of second lockdowns in many states in the U.S .
Corrupt people in power are , as always , allowed to do whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surface population .
The numbers speak for themselves : I did the 11/11 meditation , and afterward things just got way worse .
If there will be no positive physical results in 3D for the surface population , I will have to take action against the Cobra blog , because the blog is taking advantage of many well-meaning people .

I will not be participating in any Cobra meditations because there is no proof that the light forces are helping the surface population. It is unacceptable to just ‘wait for the next meditation’ to fix everything like this over and over again, for years on end, especially with NWO plans being practically finalized!
COVID case numbers are going absolutely insane, and restrictions are returning, with the very real possibility of second lockdowns in many states in the U.S. Corrupt people in power are, as always, allowed to do whatever they wish at the expense of the surface population. The numbers speak for themselves:

I did the 11/11 meditation, and afterward things just got way worse. If there will be no positive physical results in 3D for the surface population, I will have to take action against the Cobra blog, because the blog is taking advantage of many well-meaning people. I gave the light forces and commanders one last chance, and they have once again failed. I have to draw the line somewhere, and I draw it here. I will not be making baseless allegations though, unlike the other person who falsely accused Cobra of ridiculous garbage that has no basis in reality. No, my claims are legitimate!

prepareforchange--2020-11-15--Dystopian “Great Reset”: “Own Nothing and Be Happy”, Being Human in 2030

The World Economic Forum ’ s ( WEF ) annual meeting at the end of January in Davos , Switzerland , brings together international business and political leaders , economists and other high-profile individuals to discuss global issues .
Driven by the vision of its influential CEO Klaus Schwab , the WEF is the main driving force for the dystopian ‘ great reset ’ , a tectonic shift that intends to change how we live , work and interact with each other .
The Great Reset entails a transformation of society resulting in permanent restrictions on fundamental liberties and mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boost the monopoly and hegemony of pharmaceuticals corporations , high-tech/big data giants , Amazon , Google , major global chains , the digital payments sector , biotech concerns , etc .
Using COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions to push through this transformation , the great reset is being rolled out under the guise of a ‘ Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ in which older enterprises are to be driven to bankruptcy or absorbed into monopolies , effectively shutting down huge sections of the pre-COVID economy .
Economies are being ‘ restructured ’ and many jobs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In a short video below , the WEF predicts that by 2030 , “ You ’ ll own nothing and you ’ ll be happy.
” A happy smiling face is depicted while a drone delivers a product to a household , no doubt ordered online and packaged by a robot in a giant Amazon warehouse : ‘ no humans were involved in manufacturing , packaging or delivering this product ’ ; rest assured , it is virus- and bacteria-free – because even in 2030 , they will need to keep the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full-spectrum dominance over the population .
The jobless ( and there will be many ) could be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts ( indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions ) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely the financial institutions helping to drive this great reset .
The WEF says the public will ‘ rent ’ everything they require : stripping the right of ownership under the guise of ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planet ’ .
Of course , the tiny elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything .
Hundreds of millions around the world deemed ‘ surplus to requirements ’ are to be robbed ( are currently being robbed ) of their livelihoods .
Our every movement and purchase are to be monitored and our main dealings will be online .
The plan for individual citizens could reflect the strategy to be applied to nation states .
For instance , World Bank Group President David Malpass has stated that poorer countries will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their feet after the various lockdowns that have been implemented .
This ‘ help ’ will be on condition that neoliberal reforms and the undermining of public services are implemented and become further embedded .
On 20 April , the Wall Street Journal ran the headline ‘ IMF , World Bank Face Deluge of Aid Requests From Developing World .
Scores of countries are asking for bailouts and loans from financial institutions with $ 1.2 trillion to lend .
An ideal recipe for fuelling dependency .
In return for debt relief or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the likes of Bill Gates will be able to further dictate national policies and hollow out the remnants of nation state sovereignty .
What will happen to our social and personal identity ?
Is that to be eradicated in the quest to commodify and standardise human behaviour and everything we do ?
The billionaire class who are pushing this agenda think they can own nature and all humans and can control both , whether through geoengineering the atmosphere , for example , genetically modifying soil microbes or doing a better job than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lab .
They think they can bring history to a close and reinvent the wheel by reshaping what it means to be human .
And they think they can achieve this by 2030 .
It is a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture , tradition and practices virtually overnight .
And many of those cultures , traditions and practices relate to food and how we produce it and our deep-rooted connections to nature .
Consider that many of the ancient rituals and celebrations of our forebears @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helped them come to terms with some of the most basic issues of existence , from death to rebirth and fertility .
These culturally embedded beliefs and practices served to sanctify their practical relationship with nature and its role in sustaining human life .
As agriculture became key to human survival , the planting and harvesting of crops and other seasonal activities associated with food production were central to these customs .
Freyfaxi marks the beginning of the harvest in Norse paganism , for example , while Lammas or Lughnasadh is the celebration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Humans celebrated nature and the life it gave birth to .
Ancient beliefs and rituals were imbued with hope and renewal and people had a necessary and immediate relationship with the sun , seeds , animals , wind , fire , soil and rain and the changing seasons that nourished and brought life .
Our cultural and social relationships with agrarian production and associated deities had a sound practical base .
Prof Robert W Nicholls explains that the cults of Woden and Thor were superimposed on far older and better-rooted beliefs related @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the crops and the animals and the rotation of the seasons between the light and warmth of summer and the cold and dark of winter .
We need look no further than India to appreciate the important relationship between culture , agriculture and ecology , not least the vital importance of the monsoon and seasonal planting and harvesting .
Rural-based beliefs and rituals steeped in nature persist , even among urban Indians .
These are bound to traditional knowledge systems where livelihoods , the seasons , food , cooking , processing , seed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of knowledge are all inter-related and form the essence of cultural diversity within India itself .
Although the industrial age resulted in a diminution of the connection between food and the natural environment as people moved to cities , traditional ‘ food cultures ’ – the practices , attitudes and beliefs surrounding the production , distribution and consumption of food – still thrive and highlight our ongoing connection to agriculture and nature .
If we go back to the 1950s , it is interesting to note Union Carbide ’ s corporate narrative based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the company as a ‘ hand of god ’ coming out of the sky to ‘ solve ’ some of the issues facing humanity .
One of the most famous images is of the hand pouring the firm ’ s agrochemicals on Indian soils as if traditional farming practices were somehow ‘ backward ’ .
Despite well-publicised claims to the contrary , this chemical-driven approach did not lead to higher food production according to the paper ‘ New Histories of the Green Revolution ‘ written by Prof Glenn Stone .
However , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and economic consequences ( see Vandana Shiva ’ s book ‘ The Violence of the Green Revolution ‘ and Bhaskar Save ’ s now famous and highly insightful open letter to Indian officials ) .
In the book ‘ Food and Cultural Studies ‘ ( Bob Ashley et al ) , we see how , some years ago , a Coca Cola TV ad campaign sold its product to an audience which associated modernity with a sugary drink and depicted ancient Aboriginal beliefs as harmful , ignorant and outdated .
Coke and not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the parched .
This type of ideology forms part of a wider strategy to discredit traditional cultures and portray them as being deficient and in need of assistance from ‘ god-like ’ corporations .
What we are seeing in 2020 , is an acceleration of such processes .
In terms of food and agriculture , traditional farming in places like India will be under increasing pressure from the big-tech giants and agribusiness to open up to lab-grown food , GMOs , genetically engineered soil microbes , data harvesting tools and drones and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reset includes farmerless farms being manned by driverless machines , monitored by drones and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds for industrial ‘ biomatter ’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food .
What will happen to the farmers ?
Post-COVID , the World Bank talks about helping countries get back on track in return for structural reforms .
Are tens of millions of smallholder farmers to be enticed from their land in return for individual debt relief and universal basic income ?
The displacement of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rural communities and their cultures was something the Gates Foundation once called for and cynically termed “ land mobility ” .
Cut through the euphemisms and it is clear that Bill Gates – and the other incredibly rich individuals behind the great reset – is an old-fashioned colonialist who supports the time-honoured dispossessive strategies of imperialism , whether this involves mining , appropriating and commodifying farmer knowledge , accelerating the transfer of research and seeds to corporations or facilitating intellectual property piracy and seed monopolies created through IP laws and seed regulations .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ agrarian-based society – will the land of these already ( prior to COVID ) heavily indebted farmers then be handed over to the tech giants , the financial institutions and global agribusiness to churn out their high-tech , data-driven GM industrial sludge ?
Is this part of the ‘ own nothing , be happy ’ bland brave new world being promoted by the WEF ?
With the link completely severed between food production , nature and culturally embedded beliefs that give meaning and expression to life , we will be left with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who is reliant on income from the state and who is stripped of satisfying productive endeavour and genuine self-fulfilment .
Technocratic meddling has already destroyed or undermined cultural diversity , meaningful social connections and agrarian ecosystems that draw on centuries of traditional knowledge and are increasingly recognised as valid approaches to secure food security ( for example , see ‘ Food Security and Traditional Knowledge in India ‘ in the Journal of South Asian Studies ) .
The massive technocratic transformation currently envisaged regards humans as commodities to be controlled and monitored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AI being promoted .
But do not worry – you will be property-less and happy in your open prison of mass unemployment , state dependency , track and chip health passports , cashlessness , mass vaccination and dehumanisation .

The Great Reset entails a transformation of society resulting in permanent restrictions on fundamental liberties and mass surveillance as entire sectors are sacrificed to boost the monopoly and hegemony of pharmaceuticals corporations, high-tech/big data giants, Amazon, Google, major global chains, the digital payments sector, biotech concerns, etc.

The jobless (and there will be many) could be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts (indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely the financial institutions helping to drive this great reset.

Identity and meaning
What will happen to our social and personal identity? Is that to be eradicated in the quest to commodify and standardise human behaviour and everything we do?
The billionaire class who are pushing this agenda think they can own nature and all humans and can control both, whether through geoengineering the atmosphere, for example, genetically modifying soil microbes or doing a better job than nature by producing bio-synthesised fake food in a lab.
They think they can bring history to a close and reinvent the wheel by reshaping what it means to be human. And they think they can achieve this by 2030. It is a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture, tradition and practices virtually overnight.
And many of those cultures, traditions and practices relate to food and how we produce it and our deep-rooted connections to nature. Consider that many of the ancient rituals and celebrations of our forebears were built around stories and myths that helped them come to terms with some of the most basic issues of existence, from death to rebirth and fertility. These culturally embedded beliefs and practices served to sanctify their practical relationship with nature and its role in sustaining human life.
As agriculture became key to human survival, the planting and harvesting of crops and other seasonal activities associated with food production were central to these customs. Freyfaxi marks the beginning of the harvest in Norse paganism, for example, while Lammas or Lughnasadh is the celebration of the first harvest/grain harvest in Paganism.
Humans celebrated nature and the life it gave birth to. Ancient beliefs and rituals were imbued with hope and renewal and people had a necessary and immediate relationship with the sun, seeds, animals, wind, fire, soil and rain and the changing seasons that nourished and brought life. Our cultural and social relationships with agrarian production and associated deities had a sound practical base.
Prof Robert W Nicholls explains that the cults of Woden and Thor were superimposed on far older and better-rooted beliefs related to the sun and the earth, the crops and the animals and the rotation of the seasons between the light and warmth of summer and the cold and dark of winter.
We need look no further than India to appreciate the important relationship between culture, agriculture and ecology, not least the vital importance of the monsoon and seasonal planting and harvesting. Rural-based beliefs and rituals steeped in nature persist, even among urban Indians. These are bound to traditional knowledge systems where livelihoods, the seasons, food, cooking, processing, seed exchange, healthcare and the passing on of knowledge are all inter-related and form the essence of cultural diversity within India itself.
Although the industrial age resulted in a diminution of the connection between food and the natural environment as people moved to cities, traditional ‘food cultures’ – the practices, attitudes and beliefs surrounding the production, distribution and consumption of food – still thrive and highlight our ongoing connection to agriculture and nature.
‘Hand of God’ Imperialism
If we go back to the 1950s, it is interesting to note Union Carbide’s corporate narrative based on a series of images that depicted the company as a ‘hand of god’ coming out of the sky to ‘solve’ some of the issues facing humanity. One of the most famous images is of the hand pouring the firm’s agrochemicals on Indian soils as if traditional farming practices were somehow ‘backward’.
Despite well-publicised claims to the contrary, this chemical-driven approach did not lead to higher food production according to the paper ‘New Histories of the Green Revolution‘ written by Prof Glenn Stone. However, it has had long-term devastating ecological, social and economic consequences (see Vandana Shiva’s book ‘The Violence of the Green Revolution‘ and Bhaskar Save’s now famous and highly insightful open letter to Indian officials).
In the book ‘Food and Cultural Studies‘ (Bob Ashley et al), we see how, some years ago, a Coca Cola TV ad campaign sold its product to an audience which associated modernity with a sugary drink and depicted ancient Aboriginal beliefs as harmful, ignorant and outdated. Coke and not rain became the giver of life to the parched. This type of ideology forms part of a wider strategy to discredit traditional cultures and portray them as being deficient and in need of assistance from ‘god-like’ corporations.
What we are seeing in 2020, is an acceleration of such processes. In terms of food and agriculture, traditional farming in places like India will be under increasing pressure from the big-tech giants and agribusiness to open up to lab-grown food, GMOs, genetically engineered soil microbes, data harvesting tools and drones and other ‘disruptive’ technologies.
The great reset includes farmerless farms being manned by driverless machines, monitored by drones and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds for industrial ‘biomatter’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food. What will happen to the farmers?
Post-COVID, the World Bank talks about helping countries get back on track in return for structural reforms. Are tens of millions of smallholder farmers to be enticed from their land in return for individual debt relief and universal basic income? The displacement of these farmers and the subsequent destruction of rural communities and their cultures was something the Gates Foundation once called for and cynically termed “land mobility”.
Cut through the euphemisms and it is clear that Bill Gates – and the other incredibly rich individuals behind the great reset – is an old-fashioned colonialist who supports the time-honoured dispossessive strategies of imperialism, whether this involves mining, appropriating and commodifying farmer knowledge, accelerating the transfer of research and seeds to corporations or facilitating intellectual property piracy and seed monopolies created through IP laws and seed regulations.
In places like India – still an agrarian-based society – will the land of these already (prior to COVID) heavily indebted farmers then be handed over to the tech giants, the financial institutions and global agribusiness to churn out their high-tech, data-driven GM industrial sludge? Is this part of the ‘own nothing, be happy’ bland brave new world being promoted by the WEF?
With the link completely severed between food production, nature and culturally embedded beliefs that give meaning and expression to life, we will be left with the individual human who exists on lab-based food, who is reliant on income from the state and who is stripped of satisfying productive endeavour and genuine self-fulfilment.
Technocratic meddling has already destroyed or undermined cultural diversity, meaningful social connections and agrarian ecosystems that draw on centuries of traditional knowledge and are increasingly recognised as valid approaches to secure food security (for example, see ‘Food Security and Traditional Knowledge in India‘ in the Journal of South Asian Studies). The massive technocratic transformation currently envisaged regards humans as commodities to be controlled and monitored just like the lifeless technological drones and AI being promoted.
But do not worry – you will be property-less and happy in your open prison of mass unemployment, state dependency, track and chip health passports, cashlessness, mass vaccination and dehumanisation.
