[00:00:04] Okay, starting now. [00:00:06] We're starting it now. [00:00:08] Starting now. [00:00:09] Okay, we are going. [00:00:11] We're going to start now. [00:00:14] Now. [00:00:14] All right. [00:00:15] We have begun. [00:00:17] Glad that we're starting now. [00:00:19] We are beginning the episode. [00:00:21] All right. [00:00:21] Wait. [00:00:22] Hit the ding. [00:00:23] There we go. [00:00:24] All right, and we are – wait, hold on. [00:00:27] Now we are rolling just now. [00:00:33] Perfect. [00:00:33] Because I'm ready to go now. [00:00:38] All right. [00:00:38] I'm going to get a glass of water. [00:01:02] Sorry, that's the last time we'll ever do anything like that. [00:01:05] That was, we couldn't think of something to say. [00:01:07] And so bad. [00:01:08] was not I don't I don't know if I I don't feel good about that I don't love that. [00:01:13] Michael Che wrote us that bit. [00:01:15] Mm-hmm. [00:01:17] Don't know who that is. [00:01:18] No, a lot of people dislike him. [00:01:19] I don't really know who he is either. [00:01:21] How come there isn't a Saturday white live? [00:01:25] We can't use this. [00:01:26] We can use that. [00:01:28] We can use it. [00:01:29] What's wrong with that? [00:01:30] What's wrong with that? [00:01:32] It's just a play on the famous American saying, why isn't there a white history month? [00:01:37] Why can't I say, I understand that recently in a lot of intros, I have been saying stuff like that. [00:01:43] That is due to mental illness, not because of any held beliefs. [00:01:48] You think I'm going to cut you off, but I'm not going to cut you off. [00:01:51] I want you to keep going. [00:01:53] How come they don't let white guys keep it? [00:01:55] No, let's just stop. [00:01:58] Hello, everyone. [00:01:59] What are we doing? [00:02:00] Oh, hello. [00:02:01] Welcome. [00:02:01] It's Truanon. [00:02:03] What's your name? [00:02:04] Oh, good question. [00:02:06] My name is Liz. [00:02:07] I am White Liz, and we are joined by Young Chomsky, our producer. [00:02:11] I'm just kidding. [00:02:12] I'm Bryce Belden. [00:02:13] And I'm not telling you what I am. [00:02:16] The podcast is Truanon. [00:02:19] Yes, we did clear that up, Liz. [00:02:20] Thank you. [00:02:23] Thank you. [00:02:26] Brace, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? [00:02:29] We're going to white Thanksgiving. [00:02:31] I don't know what I'm doing. [00:02:33] Thanksgiving is my all-time. [00:02:35] I'm not a big holidays guy. [00:02:36] Well, that's not true. [00:02:38] That's not true. [00:02:38] You're lying. [00:02:40] Yeah, okay. [00:02:40] This is your image. [00:02:42] Three quarters of this show is me lying. [00:02:44] No, I actually hate Thanksgiving. [00:02:46] I've hated Thanksgiving my whole life because one time, well, this is my whole life. [00:02:50] This is when I was like 12. [00:02:51] I ate turkey on Thanksgiving. [00:02:53] This has never happened before or since. [00:02:55] But my face literally swelled into twice as large as it ever was. [00:03:00] It was a whole thing. [00:03:01] Phil, you got turkey face. [00:03:03] I got turkey face. [00:03:04] Yeah, it was, it was, it was incredible. [00:03:06] And like, it didn't hurt. [00:03:09] It fucked, it was fucked up. [00:03:10] And I feel like it proceeded. [00:03:12] You know how women's lips are like this now? [00:03:14] Like, it's like they put the thing in them and like inflatos. [00:03:18] Inflatos. [00:03:19] I got inflatos, but unfortunately, it was the devil's bargain. [00:03:23] The rest of my face was inflated as well. [00:03:27] Also, I don't like gravy. [00:03:28] Wait, did that did that scar you from turkey? [00:03:30] Is that what you're saying? [00:03:31] But you like Christmas. [00:03:32] You're like turkey. [00:03:33] You're very jolly. [00:03:35] Who loves? [00:03:36] That's okay, sweetheart. [00:03:37] That's enough of that. [00:03:38] Jolly? [00:03:40] Jolly? [00:03:42] That's not me. [00:03:43] I'm in the holiday spirit. [00:03:45] Which apparently now is illegal, by the way. [00:03:48] The government is starting up the war on Christmas again. [00:03:52] I can feel it. [00:03:52] It's all of that. [00:03:53] Fucking motherfuckers. [00:03:54] You know that Gavin Newsome was like spotted at like a party at French Laundry? [00:03:59] Of course. [00:04:00] Also, that's so dated. [00:04:02] French laundry. [00:04:03] What is it? [00:04:04] 2010? [00:04:05] Yeah, we use Chinese laundries now. [00:04:08] Oh, my God. [00:04:09] It's like a real fancy restaurant, right, up north? [00:04:11] Yeah, it's like Michelin Star, famous, very famous, and Napa. [00:04:16] And so if you live in California, he's like, I will kill you if you go, if you even wish someone Merry Christmas, but I'm going to go hang out with like the Gettys at French Laundry. [00:04:26] Because here's the thing about Gavin Newsome. [00:04:28] Gavin Newsom is addicted to doing cocaine and cheating on his wife. [00:04:32] And so those are two great ways to spread COVID is to share a, in fact, he's in the government, so probably a thousand dollar bill and also a little bit of poontang action. [00:04:42] That's also a super spreader. [00:04:44] Who names their wine company Plump Jack? [00:04:48] Pardon me? [00:04:49] That's the name of his wine company before he went into politics, Plump Jack. [00:04:55] Plump Jack. [00:04:56] Yeah. [00:04:57] Talk about a jolly sounding name. [00:05:01] That's not very winery-esque. [00:05:03] It sounds like that's not right. [00:05:04] That's a little more Folsom Street rather than Napa Valley, if you know what I mean. [00:05:08] Yeah. [00:05:09] Yeah. [00:05:09] Or like a snowman. [00:05:11] A snowman's wine. [00:05:12] Snowman's kind of swans street. [00:05:14] Snowman's wine. [00:05:16] Well, sweetheart, why are we gathered here today? [00:05:20] Well, no, I brought that up because that was going to be my transition into what we were talking about. [00:05:24] Okay, well, I'm sorry I interrupted you. [00:05:26] That's okay. [00:05:27] I don't know if it was a good transition, but I'm going to keep going with it, which is that it's all in the news now that no one's supposed to even think about spending Thanksgiving with anyone they love. [00:05:40] In fact, not only are you not even supposed to think about it, it's actually disgust. [00:05:46] The idea of Thanksgiving is bad. [00:05:49] I have seen it. [00:05:51] It's the worst holiday. [00:05:53] No, no, no. [00:05:53] I don't even think it's, that's like what any of it is about, actually, is about like what Thanksgiving is. [00:05:58] But there seems to be like a lot of people piling on. [00:06:01] I understand why. [00:06:03] And like, I'm not going anywhere for Thanksgiving. [00:06:05] I don't even know if I'm going anywhere for Christmas. [00:06:07] It's like up in the air. [00:06:08] But it's like, yeah, no, I totally get why, you know, they're discouraging or trying to, I would rather say. [00:06:16] You'd want to encourage people to stay home or in small groups so as to not create festive super spreader events. [00:06:27] But that's not what I'm seeing at all for people. [00:06:29] What I'm seeing is like crazy shaming for even like the idea of thinking about wanting to see like your grandma and like share a meal. [00:06:38] Yeah. [00:06:39] It's insane. [00:06:41] Well, one thing I saw was a, and this was on, this is on the internet, was a woman saying that this will be the greatest instance of and the best recorded instance of genocide in human history. === 2030 Predictions Controversy (10:31) === [00:06:54] And yeah, I need to fact check on that. [00:06:56] All I have to say to that. [00:06:58] Well, here's the thing. [00:06:59] If Democrats really cared about that, they should bomb the rail lines going into your grandma's hills. [00:07:04] Oh my God. [00:07:05] Yeah. [00:07:06] I mean, have you ever noticed? [00:07:08] No, have you ever noticed that? [00:07:09] Have you ever noticed that it's all grandparents that control the narrative around the 2022 Thanksgiving super holocaust? [00:07:15] You've already noticed that? [00:07:17] Yeah. [00:07:18] This is terrible. [00:07:20] Grandparents, grandparent media telling you what to believe. [00:07:23] There's no way that that many grandparents could have died in 2020. [00:07:26] All right. [00:07:27] This is bad. [00:07:28] This is not good. [00:07:31] Let's actually, okay, so my transition didn't work, but we are actually talking about, I'm really excited about what we're talking about today because for the first time in a long time, surprisingly, I get to put my shiny, fabulous little tinfoil hat on. [00:07:48] And somehow, magically, Brace, you also have one on. [00:07:54] Yes. [00:07:55] Well, no, this is like, actually, it's silver, but it's, I've been doing a colloidal kind of cleanse lately. [00:08:00] Young Chomsky got me turned on to it. [00:08:02] You know how he's like silver? [00:08:03] And he's been like, we just thought that was like a steroid thing. [00:08:07] But it turns out, well, he's also got me on steroids, but I'm doing this colloidal cleanse and I feel fantastic. [00:08:12] No, but we both got, it's awesome because I've been wanting to do an episode about this for a long time. [00:08:18] And I was bugging Brace about it last week. [00:08:20] And through your researching of this topic, you found, I would say, a tinfoil cowboy hat that fits your fine little head just perfect. [00:08:32] That's right. [00:08:33] And a pair of six guns pointed right at Bill Gates. [00:08:38] So we are talking about What some of you may have heard of, although I'm going to think that most people listening to this haven't explicitly heard, but it's called The Great Reset. [00:08:52] Oh, it sounds wonderful. [00:08:53] Yeah. [00:08:54] And there's a couple things there. [00:08:56] People may have heard of it if they follow conspiracy theories. [00:09:01] They may have heard it referred to. [00:09:04] Some people that follow Q stuff may have kind of like vaguely heard it in relation to Bill Gates and some other kind of figures that we're going to get into. [00:09:14] Or if you are big on the TED Talk circuit, you also may have heard it because it turns out that the Great Reset isn't just a conspiracy theory, but also a very real thing. [00:09:27] And we want to. [00:09:28] It's an actual literal theory by a guy who came up with it and like wrote a book about it. [00:09:33] Yeah. [00:09:34] Yeah. [00:09:34] We got to talk about it because it's happening, guys. [00:09:38] By a German, by the way. [00:09:40] I just want to be clear here that still don't trust you guys. [00:09:46] Yeah. [00:09:47] I mean, this guy was born. [00:09:48] I'm just saying, this guy was born in 1938. [00:09:50] Like it was World War II hadn't even started yet. [00:09:53] And I'm like, I'm not letting this guy set the tone for the future. [00:09:57] No, yeah. [00:09:59] Well, I don't know what part of 1938 he was born in. [00:10:01] It's okay, but it's, it technically only started with the invasion of France. [00:10:05] There was no countries before that. [00:10:07] Wait. [00:10:12] Anyways. [00:10:15] I'm just kidding. [00:10:16] Okay. [00:10:17] So the Great Reset. [00:10:19] Brace, you mentioned a German. [00:10:21] Can you break this down for me? [00:10:23] So Klaus Schwab is the guy who kind of came up with this. [00:10:27] That's just how they pronounce it. [00:10:28] I'm just, I'm just, that's how he says it. [00:10:31] And he is like so many of my fucking enemies. [00:10:36] And I want to be clear. [00:10:37] If you are listening to this show and you are of Teutonic descent, you're one of the good ones. [00:10:43] But there are a lot of bad ones in history. [00:10:45] And Klaus, I believe, is no different. [00:10:49] He is the founder of the World Economic Forum. [00:10:52] You know how every year you see like pictures of decadent like, what do people call them? [00:10:57] Elites in Davos. [00:10:59] But really, you see the cool pictures of like the snipers who kind of look like stormtroopers staying on top of like. [00:11:04] Those are fantastic photos. [00:11:05] Amazing photos. [00:11:07] I mean, if you look at security at Davos, it's incredible. [00:11:11] But it is the brainchild of this man, Klaus Schwab. [00:11:16] He wrote a book about it and he's been sort of the, well, what would the American or the English word for it be? [00:11:22] I believe the English translation of the word would be leader of the World Economic Forum since its inception in the early 70s. [00:11:31] And he's kind of got this idea of a great reset and that's sort of in tune with this other idea of the fourth industrial revolution. [00:11:41] And I think most people's sort of introduction to this would have been a short YouTube video that was or video that was posted on several different points of social media by the World Economic Forum itself. [00:11:52] It is now taken down from basically everybody. [00:11:54] I noticed that. [00:11:55] Why did that happen? [00:11:57] Well, my tinfoil hat has, you know, it's spinning its little spins. [00:12:03] I mean, the thing is, is people put out videos in the hopes, I assume, that people will watch them. [00:12:07] But apparently too many people watched this video and had some questions about some of the core premises. [00:12:14] Yeah, I wish we could play it right now, but actually there's no audio. [00:12:18] No, it's just like a series of statements, but we should read through it because it's pretty amazing. [00:12:25] So it was entitled eight predictions for 2030. [00:12:28] And we can sort of trade off on these. [00:12:31] So the first prediction for 2030 is one I took a little bit of issue with, especially because of the be happy part. [00:12:38] But it says, you'll own nothing and be happy, which was superimposed over a picture of a smiling face of the guy with a five o'clock shaft. [00:12:46] I think. [00:12:47] Not watching that. [00:12:48] And then it goes on to say, whatever you want, you'll rent. [00:12:51] And it'll be delivered by drone. [00:12:52] And then there's a picture or rather a video of a drone delivering package. [00:12:57] Yeah. [00:12:59] Well, clearly they're just interested in abolishing private property. [00:13:03] Yeah, it's actually a form of super communism. [00:13:07] I mean, what this seems to refer to me or to bring to mind for me is like the, I guess, extension of the sharing economy that they talk about so much, these same people boost, which is basically like, you know, it's like a car rental place. [00:13:22] Like, and, you know, whatever, you know, don't own a car, you can rent one for the day. [00:13:26] But like, you know, they extend that now to washing machines. [00:13:29] They extend that to basically any appliance that you can have in your home. [00:13:34] It'll be like a rental version. [00:13:37] And that seems to be sort of what they envision here. [00:13:40] There's another essay on the World Economic Forum site where a woman describes the future that she believes is coming in somewhat positive tones. [00:13:47] And it's like, everything that she has is like, if she wants to make pasta that night, she rents a pasta thing. [00:13:52] Like all these things get delivered. [00:13:55] And you actually don't own anything. [00:13:57] I don't think that anyone's going to be happy in 2030. [00:14:00] That is, that is sort of my impression. [00:14:02] Well, we'll get into exactly why they would be interested in doing that. [00:14:08] But I'll just throw it out as a little like little teaser is that it's difficult to create complex financial products based on objects that other people own. [00:14:20] Yes. [00:14:20] Say that. [00:14:22] Well, the thing is too, is like, okay, I might not own things, but like, you know, for instance, this washing machine rental company that I have, they own it. [00:14:33] So like, it's really just telling you won't own something, the company will. [00:14:40] So moving on, it says then, the U.S. won't be the world's leading superpower. [00:14:45] A handful of countries will dominate. [00:14:48] Interesting. [00:14:49] Okay. [00:14:49] A lot of people predict that as well, although they seem to think that China will take it. [00:14:55] If they're saying a handful of countries, it sounds like they're looking towards some sort of multipolar European. [00:15:04] I don't know. [00:15:05] Oh, you're saying like a European superstate plus China plus America? [00:15:09] Perhaps, perhaps, in a multipolar world. [00:15:12] I don't know about 2030 for that. [00:15:14] Okay. [00:15:15] It says, you won't die waiting for an organ donor. [00:15:18] We won't transplant organs. [00:15:19] We'll print new ones instead. [00:15:23] Fine, I got, I don't know. [00:15:25] You'll eat much less meat, an occasional treat, not a staple, for the good of our environment and our health. [00:15:32] Okay. [00:15:33] I think the key here is that you'll eat much less meat, not the people who are making this video. [00:15:39] A billion people will be displaced by climate change. [00:15:42] In 10 years, wow. [00:15:43] We'll have to do a better job at welcoming and integrating refugees. [00:15:46] With a shot of refugees, like refugees welcome sign there. [00:15:52] That's a lot of people, I guess. [00:15:54] Yeah. [00:15:55] Polluters will have to pay to admit carbon dioxide. [00:16:00] Pay. [00:16:00] I'd like to know who they're paying. [00:16:02] There will be a global price on carbon. [00:16:06] This will help make fossil fuels history. [00:16:10] You could be preparing to go to Mars. [00:16:12] Scientists will have worked out how to keep you healthy in space. [00:16:15] The start of a journey to find alien life? [00:16:17] Well, here, that solves all of our climate change problems. [00:16:22] That's perfect for Falk. [00:16:24] This is very similar, actually, to fully automated luxury communism because, yeah, we'll be preparing to go to Mars to mine Mars with Elon Musk or whatever. [00:16:33] Very excited for it. [00:16:34] Western values will have been tested to the breaking point. [00:16:37] Checks and balances that underpin our democracies must not be forgotten. [00:16:42] I think Welbeck wrote that point. [00:16:45] So this seems like obviously meant for a European audience. [00:16:52] But I think this video freaked a lot of people out just because of like sort of the commanding way that it describes all the things that are happening. [00:17:02] And I think you'll own nothing and be happy is probably the most jarring thing that people are told because it seems like such an oxymoron. [00:17:09] Like I think a lot of the unhappiness that a lot of people feel, I mean, is not directly because they don't own things because most people, you know, I think are in most of our listeners' age do not own much in the general sense of things. [00:17:22] Certainly, they usually don't own property. === Why This Video Frightened Many (03:41) === [00:17:25] And this is sort of being like, well, all the way things are going now, it's like it's, it's actually going to get even worse. [00:17:32] So let's get into it on what exactly this is. [00:17:36] So you mentioned, Klaus Schwab, that this is a, this is a big project that he's spearheading. [00:17:41] And when we say it's a big project, I mean it's like, this is a massive, massive project. [00:17:46] This is a real thing. [00:17:48] And it's a program that they call the Great Reset. [00:17:51] And it's basically a massively funded, ambitious, internationally coordinated project that is being led by some of the biggest multinational corporations and financial players in the world and being kind of carried out and ushered in. [00:18:09] And the public is being basically buttered up for it by cooperating state bodies, NGOs, and their affiliated PR and media agencies. [00:18:20] And we'll kind of get into that. [00:18:22] And like what it is is in my opinion, and we can kind of get into what they say it is versus what we kind of think it is. [00:18:30] But it's like kind of a combo of like early 20th century science fiction. [00:18:35] There's a big emphasis on transhumanism as well as space colonization. [00:18:42] But transhumanism, we've talked about a bit on the podcast in relation to Epstein and some of his ventures. [00:18:50] Oh, he would have been a great reset guy, 100%. [00:18:53] Oh, yeah. [00:18:54] Absolutely. [00:18:55] Huge. [00:18:56] He probably was. [00:18:58] Yeah, I guess the timeline does kind of line up. [00:19:02] So imagine like, yeah, like transhumanism, like fascination with like early 20th century science fiction with the obsessiveness of like a desperate accountant in the throats of a gambling addiction. [00:19:20] Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. [00:19:21] And like when Liz says like that, that basically, you know, the largest corporations and sort of international bodies are all in on this, like that is true. [00:19:30] I mean, if you listen to, I have listened to almost every episode of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset podcast, including the hour-long episodes they have instead of the usual 17 to 20 minute ones. [00:19:41] And I mean, I heard everyone from Prince Charles to the leaders of the UN and the IMF, Mark Benioff, and even, I believe, Grover. [00:19:51] In fact, let's get him on now. [00:19:54] Hello, everybody. [00:19:55] It is I, your cute and adorable Paul Grover, with a message for listeners of the Great Reset. [00:20:02] Well, you are in luck because I know a thing or two about resetting. [00:20:08] I reset my alarm clock every morning. [00:20:12] But you are talking about resetting the entire world. [00:20:16] Now, that is a very big job. [00:20:18] Well, my friend, Ms. Sherry Weston, and I are here to help. [00:20:22] On Sesame Street, we know that it is very important for children to learn and play every day. [00:20:30] And because playtime is so important, we have been thinking of ways to help children all over the world learn and play at home. [00:20:38] At first, it was hard when nobody could go to school and I could not visit my friends like Elmo or, well, even Oscar the Grouch. [00:20:47] Then we learned to have video playtime, which was a lot of fun and made us feel better. [00:20:55] Now, I know you will want to hear all about it. [00:20:57] And so I will now let Miss Sherry be the one to tell you. [00:21:02] Okay, bye-bye, everybody. [00:21:04] So when you dropped that, I thought it was going to be Grover Norquist. === Biometric Privacy in India (14:55) === [00:21:07] But of course, he wouldn't be in on this. [00:21:10] No, no, he actually defected the People's Republic of China, who, by the way, are also in on this. [00:21:16] So yeah, so basically on the surface, they call it, like you said, the fourth industrial revolution. [00:21:21] And they kind of use automation and AI and 5G, all things that we've spent a lot of time talking about, as the kind of like new, the new revolution that is going to completely change the world. [00:21:41] I would say that, at least, you know, this is my reading, is that underneath all of that is the fact that actually capital profits have been falling for a very long time. [00:21:51] And in fact, like the entire world, including the United States, was about to go into recession prior to COVID, which we talked about this. [00:21:59] We had Alexander Skaggs on and we had a whole episode about this. [00:22:03] And then bam, COVID hit. [00:22:05] February or January. [00:22:07] Yes. [00:22:08] I should go back and listen to that. [00:22:12] Yeah. [00:22:12] But so that this, you know, growth is stagnant and profits are falling. [00:22:18] And the kind of, I'd say, Western-led infinite expansion model of capitalism is not returning the profits that the people at the top need it to. [00:22:34] And so basically, kind of of what's underneath this idea is like kind of the construction of an absolute like a new bubble, I would say. [00:22:45] Yeah, I think it's that. [00:22:47] And it's also like they can not only can these people see the which way the wind is blowing, they're the people who sort of control the which way the wind is blowing. [00:22:56] And I think this is like – the way I think of the Great Reset and the way I kind of think of all of this is just like a new ideological push to sort of like bring together all of the disparate – or not even disparate – all of the connected strands that like technological, political, social, economic, environmental policies that are sort of like being implemented on purpose and then sort of being implemented because of new technologies as well. [00:23:25] All of the – together into kind of one thing, and that thing is the Great Reset. [00:23:32] It's another word for the future, I guess, but like what is? [00:23:55] Uh baby, tell me what is the future looking like? [00:23:59] So what the Great Reset does and you know this is an actual plan, but basically what it's attempting to do is fully restructure the world's economy and, I would say also geopolitical relations, based on like two ideas, that that they can and will make a. [00:24:23] This sounds crazy, but this is true. [00:24:24] This is the idea that there is a way to and a need to make a, basically a total database of every element of nature and every life form that they would put as part of a global inventory. [00:24:40] The code yeah um, I guess theoretically that's supposed to be managed by kind of um benevolent state actors, although that that that upset is there is, is we never get a clear idea from any of this as to exactly who will be managing all of this. [00:25:01] I, I think Schwab sort of imagines himself as like the great liberal internationalist where like, he brings everyone together in the World Economic Forum and we sort of hash things out there and it's sort of an alt UN, although the UN itself is, of course, you know, dick deep in all this stuff and and it it, there's a there is a sort of implicit like thread throughout this, that that that all of these things will be managed by, [00:25:29] like by groups like the IMF, like the World Economic Forum, like the UN, UM World BANK and yes, exactly like the World BANK. [00:25:38] And uh, and I mean I, I it. [00:25:40] That sounds most like realistic option to me. [00:25:43] I believe that, like you know, all the, the incestual nature of all these products basically lead to all these people being in the same rooms all the time anyways. [00:25:51] Yeah, absolutely so that that's what they imagine is like, basically like a shared database of every single thing on earth that's accounted for, and I mean like every single thing, every piece of nature, every piece of, like every human every, every single thing is accounted for, like obsessively, in a database and that then that inventory is basically all registered, readable by a scanner, [00:26:21] easily id and managed by AI as a way of. [00:26:25] You know, they say, cutting costs, increasing profits, improving efficiency uh, in people's lives interactions production uh, our relations to the environment, etc etc. [00:26:39] Um but, as I kind of mentioned before about the rent to own thing, that was a little spoiler, because what would I mean if we have anyone listening, who out there who likes the stock market or knows anything about complex financial products? [00:26:55] Uh, creating an entire database um that, where you like, have an entirely new inventory of the entire world's resources, literally the entire world's resources. [00:27:08] You could create entirely new asset classes and new um, speculative financial instruments that to be like infinitely traded and um securitized uh, ad infinitum, and like. [00:27:24] I want to pause there because, like this is like what is underlying this entire thing that like, capital profits are down, that we are, the economy is stagnant, that there we're we're there's, you know there isn't infinite growth, and this is kind of a shortcut to creating more and more new financial products, Exactly. [00:27:49] Like if you make nature into like just a actual like literal asset, like they're trying to do here. [00:27:56] I mean, I don't really have the vocabulary for this kind of stuff because, you know, all this, as listeners will know, most of this stuff is pretty confusing to me when we start talking about like assets and stocks and all this shit. [00:28:07] But like, I sort of, I read a lot of Corey Morningstar's work on Long Kind of Green. [00:28:13] She's just done really good work around this. [00:28:14] Yeah. [00:28:15] And the way I sort of am beginning to understand it is that it basically like makes nature into like a new kind of like product, like a literal actual product. [00:28:25] Yeah. [00:28:26] And not just nature, like humans, which we're going to get into. [00:28:30] Like, I mean, it is every single, like every single living thing would belong to a database that could then become basically, I mean, you know, you could say asset, you can say, you know, speculative, whatever, but basically bet on in different, in different forms, right? [00:28:50] And a way for people to continue extracting fictitious capital because that's what it is. [00:28:57] Does not sound like the kind of future I want to be living in. [00:29:00] Well, no, I mean, I, I, I don't think I don't think a lot of people are going to want to, I mean, all that sounds fine and until you realize like what it entails and what like your role in it is, right? [00:29:12] Because in order to do that, the entire project basically hinges on us like completely reworking our understanding of how like we relate with the world, right? [00:29:28] Um, the biggest example there would be with privacy. [00:29:33] So if there's going to be a huge database of every single living person and every single living thing, one can imagine you might run into some privacy issues there. [00:29:45] Well, we've sort of already run into that in kind of what I view as like a pilot program for this. [00:29:52] So I think a pretty good example of the genesis of this kind of stuff, I don't think this is going to be the end result. [00:29:58] I think this is sort of going to be looked back on as like a germination of the ideas that they have, is the Aadhaar project in India. [00:30:07] And Adhar is Hindi for foundation, but it is a new biometric ID system in India started by a guy named Nandan Nilakani. [00:30:19] And this guy's a real trip. [00:30:22] And I don't think we have enough time to really go into him, but he's a former or, you know, if you really want to get weird about it, maybe current Fabian socialist who is in charge of a company called Infosys. [00:30:33] And there's an interview with Jon Stewart out there in like 2008 where he calls him the Bill Gates of India. [00:30:39] And brother, you don't know how right you were. [00:30:44] So India, like, I mean, if you, if you listen to our, uh, our, our episode on the, uh, the Audio VSC, you know, you know, India has like a lot of people who sort of fall under the radar, essentially, who aren't really like, they don't have an ID. [00:30:58] They don't have like, they aren't really like, I guess, urban members of society there with, you know, an ID card, let alone a passport or anything like that. [00:31:07] And so basically this guy, Nadan, had this idea that he would take everybody's fingerprints, their iris scans, and as much other biometric data as they could. [00:31:23] He would, I mean, there's some really, there's some really wild pictures out there of like tribal people putting these devices on their faces. [00:31:29] And that gives you a 12-number, randomized 12-number basically pin. [00:31:34] It doesn't grant citizenship. [00:31:36] It's just used for identifying residents. [00:31:38] And he started in about 2009. [00:31:40] He left Infosys to form this, what was called the Unique Identity Authority of India, which is actually an actual government agency staffed pretty much entirely by Google and Intel engineers. [00:31:53] And he runs it like a startup. [00:31:55] The New Yorker called it a public scheme, a genial software billionaire who intends to create a national biometric database 10 times larger than the world's largest existing biometric database, which is the U.S.'s Department of Homeland Security's visit database. [00:32:10] The logo is a red fingerprint. [00:32:12] And what they do is an NGO makes an appointment for you. [00:32:15] You go to some guy with a fingerprint scanner and they scan you. [00:32:18] They take your IRIS scans and there you are. [00:32:20] You're in and they send you a number. [00:32:22] It's supposed to work like that. [00:32:23] It often does not. [00:32:24] It can take years to get them. [00:32:27] But this is the thing. [00:32:33] The whole idea behind this was that it would remind citizens of their rights, entitlements, and duties and would oblige the states to improve services. [00:32:41] It would boost the national economy by allowing hundreds of millions of Indians without bank accounts to open one. [00:32:46] And it would cut government losses from corruption. [00:32:48] It's again for the New Yorker. [00:32:50] Unfortunately, there are basically no laws around privacy in India. [00:32:54] So every corporation that wanted to got access to this database. [00:32:59] And exactly. [00:33:00] And so it went from being a thing where like, okay, you got this number and you could open a bank account and you could, you know, you could essentially was so that you to rationalize or like the system of giving out government assistance. [00:33:13] But what actually became is every two-bit motherfucker who sold gasoline or who sold cell phones or who sold SIM cards had access to the Ad HAR database in order to check if you had it. [00:33:23] And all these people started losing their government assistance. [00:33:28] A like slew of services in 2016 added the tag, Adhar now mandatory. [00:33:34] And now everything from, like I said, getting a SIM card, getting gasoline, crop insurance, vehicle registration, post office deposits, food distribution, ad har became necessary to get any of these things. [00:33:45] And it went from become, went from a government ID for government services to something that is basically now a tool of the market. [00:33:53] Guess who it's backed by? [00:33:55] Oh, no, here we go. [00:33:57] Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation. [00:33:59] And this is a big bugbear of Bill Gates is he's really into this biometric thing. [00:34:03] In fact, he wants to export the ad har system to other countries as well. [00:34:08] And, you know, it's not like this is just some like third world kind of thing where they're doing without, you know, they could never do that here. [00:34:14] I mean, the U.S. is a giant biometric database too. [00:34:17] And, you know, we see with the start of real IDs, this is going to happen everywhere, I think. [00:34:22] And I think this is just another part, I guess, of this great reset thing where it's like, you are going to be monitored and you are going to be picked over and poured over like never before. [00:34:32] And it'll sort of all be under the guise, you know, if this is any example of social justice. [00:34:38] Yeah, I think what's interesting about the privacy thing is that this has kind of been the attitude from a lot of people since the Snowden, even the Snowden revelations, which was like, oh, well, who cares? [00:34:53] You know what I mean? [00:34:54] Like, I've noticed that a lot. [00:34:56] And particularly like right after the Snowden leak or, you know, the Snowden documents came out about the NSA and five buys and everything. [00:35:07] I, you know, I, and I think it's Glenn Greenwald at the time who put out a really good argument against the kind of logic of, well, I'm not doing anything wrong. [00:35:17] So I don't have anything to worry about. [00:35:20] But I don't have it in front of me, but I remember that. [00:35:23] I think he wrote that. [00:35:25] But like, you know, I think that we have already desensitized ourselves to the ideas of privacy. [00:35:34] Right. [00:35:34] And like, even now with COVID, you know, I mean, it's easy to see how events like the pandemic can usher in new ideas into the kind of discourse and the kind of collective imaginary about are medical records or is medical data actually something that should be private? [00:35:57] Shouldn't that be public knowledge? [00:35:58] Isn't that more, isn't that good for the public safety, right? === Digital Privacy's End? (15:28) === [00:36:03] Yeah, for the common good. [00:36:04] Right. [00:36:05] And so like, you, you can kind of see this stuff, like you said, like kind of slowly or as it may be quickly dissipating into the culture. [00:36:18] And that is something that I think that people get wrong when they talk about this, because reset is in the name. [00:36:24] And so you kind of think that there's going to be like a switch, right? [00:36:28] That there's just going to be like, oh, now it's time and we're going to start on a new path. [00:36:32] But it's like, no, because one of the biggest things about this, and you know, I mean, it's right there in fucking Klaus Schwab's books. [00:36:42] He's got like a couple. [00:36:43] I read one in particular that he wrote after or like in July, which is called like COVID and the Great Reset. [00:36:50] This guy can't stop talking about the Great Reset. [00:36:52] He loves the Great Reset. [00:36:54] That's the only thing he talks about. [00:36:57] But like a key part of this project is like, like I said, it's like everyone changing their relationship with the world and the way that they think of themselves and what they, you know, have a right over, what other people have a right over, and even the like conception of themselves as humans, I think, or as social creatures even. [00:37:22] Like when we say there's going to, I think, I feel like I don't want to fuck up and like not explain this properly, which I think I'm in danger of doing. [00:37:31] But like when we say there's going to be a big database that accounts for every single thing, like I think that might not sound like a terrible thing. [00:37:43] You know what I mean? [00:37:43] Or like some people can think of it as like rational. [00:37:46] You know what I mean? [00:37:47] Like, well, the earth has finite resources. [00:37:49] I mean, why shouldn't we catalog everything so we can better ration? [00:37:53] But the fact is, is that it, well, every single thing and every single element then of the world will be micromanaged and monitored. [00:38:02] And like that is, you cannot divorce that from like the reason why they're cataloging all of this stuff. [00:38:07] Right. [00:38:08] And suddenly every piece of nature, including you and me and like the little lizard and the big redwood tree and the big black bear and a koala and a turkey are all like no longer living creatures that are all part of a living ecosystem and a collective society that we collectively build and relate to with each other. [00:38:38] And, you know, and each affect on it's organic. [00:38:44] Yeah, it's no longer that. [00:38:46] Like now every single thing is actually simply a piece of data or a host or a form of capital, including you and me. [00:38:56] And like this is taking the concept of human capital so much further than I think even like neoliberals imagined. [00:39:07] I think this is sort of the end of the line. [00:39:10] You called it like the terminus, I think, of neoliberalism. [00:39:13] And like, it really is sort of like, you can't go further than this. [00:39:18] I mean, this, and this, I believe, by the way, will go pretty far. [00:39:21] Like, don't, don't get me wrong here. [00:39:23] I always, you know, when people ever talk about late capitalism, whatever, like, that always seemed a little say optimistic to me. [00:39:29] But like, I think this with the great reset, like, I mean, these guys are right. [00:39:34] You know, we are entering a, I don't know if I would call it the fourth industrial revolution, but we are entering the new dark ages. [00:39:40] You know what I mean? [00:39:41] Like, we are, we are entering a new era and we're not there yet. [00:39:45] Like, what Liz is saying is this stuff diffuses slowly. [00:39:48] And I totally agree with that. [00:39:49] I think like there is sort of this desire to see like, okay, well, December 23rd in 2024, the new world order will take over and everything will be different. [00:39:59] But it's like, no, brother, like you will not even notice most of this shit happening. [00:40:04] It'll just happen. [00:40:05] It'll happen in this decentralized way, even though it will appear decentralized. [00:40:10] And like, you know, all of a sudden, your life will totally be different. [00:40:14] I mean, look how much COVID has sort of launched so much of that forward. [00:40:18] I mean, if you told me a year ago that I would be fucking talking to people on Zoom more than, you know, once a week, I'd tell you out of your fucking mind. [00:40:26] I'd have citizens arrest you and throw you in citizens prison. [00:40:30] And now it's like, you know, these things are, you know, we adapt quickly and we acclimate quickly to these things. [00:40:36] And it's like these companies are more than happy to help us along that path. [00:40:40] And so it's like their whole vision of the future is a very fucking bleak one because not only are you a piece of data, you're also, as they say, an entrepreneur. [00:40:49] And what does an entrepreneur do? [00:40:50] An entrepreneur doesn't necessarily work a job. [00:40:52] An entrepreneur hustles. [00:40:54] And if you've seen all this propaganda on, you know, subway stations or in ads that you see on the internet about hustling, because that's what they want you to do. [00:41:03] They want you to become basically somebody who not only, you, you, you don't sell your labor, you rent your labor to a million different companies and you do whatever they need you to do and you don't own anything and nobody else owns anything. [00:41:15] Everyone just delivers everything to everybody else. [00:41:17] And it creates this large, like, I mean, I don't even know what to call it, but, but it's, it's, it's, it's sort of, you know, it's a mixture of feudalism and capitalism, much, much more, I think, blatant than what we've seen already. [00:41:30] Yeah, it's like a neo, neo-tech feudalism. [00:41:33] I mean, it really is crazy. [00:41:34] It's cyberpunk future. [00:41:36] Yeah. [00:41:37] It's like the most cyberpunk. [00:41:38] I don't know how they got it all right. [00:41:40] But it's true what you say about the entrepreneur stuff. [00:41:44] I mean, that's like Wendy Brown kind of writes about that where she talks about, you know, I think she writes very well about the kind of shift that happened of people conceiving of themselves as human capital and what's that, [00:42:00] what that's done, where like now we evaluate every one of our life choices on whether or not it will pay dividends or will hurt our future, you know, possible value. [00:42:17] Like we don't even, that's how we evaluate things. [00:42:19] And we think of, you know, that's, it's even how social media is run, right? [00:42:25] It's like every, you know, every single thing is a marketplace and we are all little bits of data and nothing else. [00:42:34] Yeah. [00:42:34] Yeah. [00:42:35] And this is taking it to a kind of global terminal conclusion, it feels like. [00:42:44] Well, they talk a lot too in like great recent podcasts about the need for companies to basically get ready to change a lot of different things, to add AI and how 5G will change everything. [00:42:55] And something that always sticks with me is because they're pretty blasé. [00:42:58] Well, I mean, they act like they're not, but in reality, they're pretty blasé about the fact that these like technological, I guess, quote unquote, advances will put millions, if not eventually billions of people out of work. [00:43:10] And there is no alternative for those people, right? [00:43:14] Like if once this, once this, once this ball gets rolling, like once the train leaves this fucking station, like there's no like other good job you can get out there if you're fired from your office job. [00:43:26] Because I mean, they're talking about in these great reset podcasts, lawyers, doctors, all these things will be automated and they won't be a need for human beings there, as at least a greatly reduced need for human beings there. [00:43:39] Of course, I don't think this will happen immediately. [00:43:41] I think a lot of these people have a vested interest in sort of inflating how far along this technology is, but this technology is coming. [00:43:47] And it's like, what is everyone supposed to do? [00:43:50] And I think that the answer is probably going to be some technocratic solution like UBI and carefully managed, like basically handouts so that people can consume a certain amount of things to keep the economy going. [00:44:02] And it really like, you know, we are, we are sort of heading towards a dismal fucking place with this stuff. [00:44:10] Yeah, I mean, I think that like, I mean, nowhere in any of these conversations, like, I guess what I'm saying, you know, when we say that this takes a lot of like basically social engineering and what, you know, okay, I hate saying it, manufacturing of consent. [00:44:30] Like it does. [00:44:31] And when people hear, people believe like, oh, AI is just going to happen. [00:44:36] And then that we're just going to automate some jobs. [00:44:39] And oops, that's, you know, that's what happens. [00:44:42] Like, as if these aren't political choices. [00:44:45] Like, no one's like, you could just demand the state create new and better jobs. [00:44:51] Now, of course, we know that people are just displaced, not that like jobs just disappear because of technological advancement. [00:45:01] Right. [00:45:01] But the, but instead of demanding that, people are already so conditioned to accept it that they're like, people say, oh, this is going to be a good thing. [00:45:13] This will be great. [00:45:14] And they're already consenting to having their jobs taken away from them. [00:45:21] And it won't be taken away from them. [00:45:22] It'll just be uberized. [00:45:25] Yes. [00:45:26] Yeah. [00:45:26] And you will be rented out, you know, an hour at a fucking time. [00:45:31] And that's, that's what, that's what, I mean, you already sell your labor an hour at a time, but you know what I mean. [00:45:35] It's what drives me crazy about this is like, who wants AI? [00:45:40] Who wants automation? [00:45:41] Who wants any of these things? [00:45:43] I don't know anybody that does. [00:45:44] None of my friends want it. [00:45:46] Nobody in my extended circle of people I know seems to be clamoring for this kind of stuff. [00:45:50] This technology only benefits a very, very, very infinitesimally small number of people in the world. [00:45:58] And it benefits them immeasurably. [00:46:01] And all it does is it amiserates millions, as I said, if not billions of other people. [00:46:07] And it's crazy that there's almost no real opposition to any of this stuff. [00:46:11] Even like your so-called left-wing politicians, anything like this. [00:46:14] Nobody's really talking about how this is going to fucking decimate everybody's lives. [00:46:18] It's no, it's, I mean, the great reset is essentially rolling on to the future with absolutely no real actual, you know, opposition. [00:46:29] Well, they, that's, again, they've done a really good job of diffusing it. [00:46:33] Like, it's not a coincidence that Joe Biden's slogan is build back better, which by the way, is also a slogan of the Great Reset. [00:46:41] Also a slogan of an aid campaign in Haiti by Bill Clinton during his presidency. [00:46:48] And one by Boris Johnson. [00:46:50] Also, I believe a Canadian one as well. [00:46:52] I mean, it's all appearing in the air at the same time. [00:46:54] And, you know, you could say, brother, you could get out there and you could say, okay, maybe this is a causal connecting principle at work. [00:47:01] Maybe these people are doing dark magic, you know, and I would not disagree with you. [00:47:05] But I think this is all in the air for a reason. [00:47:24] So when you say, I just want to drive this point home because I feel like I've been just flip-flopping, flopping around like a fish all over the place. [00:47:32] Not the most eloquent day for me. [00:47:35] But when you say it's only going to benefit like a small population of the world, like I want people to imagine, like, again, [00:47:46] You and your family and your friends and your dogs and the, your backyard and everything is now going to be a piece of data that this very small group is going to use as the the kind of as like a new new, like fun game for them to bet on and create, like new, a new financial market, new stock options, new assets, [00:48:15] new crazy little derivative products that they can on your lives. [00:48:21] Like that's what this game is and that's what's happening. [00:48:26] Yeah, like and and again, like I, I and like we said a few times in this episode, like that might not seem like a big deal, but like that will be a big deal and it won't maybe dawn on you all at once, like when you see like, oh my god, my life has totally changed. [00:48:40] But like imagine, you know, we hear a lot of talk about, you know people people, you know, in sort of our generation, the millennial people, but like how different their lives are at their age uh, than their parents were at the same age. [00:48:53] And it's like brother, you can, you don't even know what's coming. [00:48:57] You know like they're things are going to look so different and and and I don't want to be like all doom and gloom here, but it's like you know, there we need to recognize what's going on in order to actually like, really get behind, you know, maybe doing something about it, because these people I mean they have momentum and they have every single institution basically in the world backing them. [00:49:18] I mean, you are going to see smart cities, you're going to see digital currency, you are going to see cameras at every street corner and they are going to be sold to you. [00:49:25] All these tools of control are not going to be sold to you as tools of control. [00:49:28] They're going to be sold to you as tools of protection for you, as a public good, as social justice, as progress, absolutely. [00:49:37] In fact, some of the biggest cheerleaders, I would say, are coming from the progressive, progressive wing of politics. [00:49:46] Well, the thing that I always, I always ask when, when people say that they're progressive, they support progressive policies. [00:49:52] You always got to ask, progressing towards what right? [00:49:57] Progressing towards fucking what? [00:49:59] And and and, and. [00:50:01] And I don't think they really have an answer because this seems to be what we're progressing towards. [00:50:05] And anybody who doesn't stand against this stands for it. [00:50:08] And it just about drives me fucking insane. [00:50:29] we have like so much more to get into with this because there are a lot of other angles to explain. [00:50:35] You mentioned digital currency and I really want to get into that because get ready, people. [00:50:39] It's happening. [00:50:40] Digital dollar, Fed coin coming to your e-wallet. [00:50:45] You got to spend it before it expires. [00:50:48] That might happen. [00:50:49] Absolutely. [00:50:51] But yeah, you've got digital currency. [00:50:54] We're going to have to talk about Bill Gates a little bit more. [00:50:57] Oh, yeah. [00:50:58] I even got more on Schwab. [00:51:00] I didn't even mention Schwab is a frequent attendee of the Bilderberg group. [00:51:03] My God. [00:51:04] I know. [00:51:05] Yeah, we got to talk about him and we got to get into this idea that they're floating. [00:51:10] And perhaps you've also heard from friend of the pod, Elizabeth Warren, during her failed campaign for president, the concept of stakeholder capitalism and what that means. [00:51:21] So we're going to get into that in the next episode because it's just too much for one. [00:51:26] I'd like to introduce her to the concept of gun holder Belden. === Digital Currency and Beyond (02:16) === [00:51:31] That was terrible. [00:51:33] Sorry. [00:51:34] One last thing I want to mention, though, is that like for my fellow, our fellow tinfoil hat wearers out there, unfortunately, like the great reset is now becoming like, I think I mentioned this on the episode we did with Robbie about Q. [00:51:51] But it's like becoming the new dumping ground for like all conspiracy theories where like everything is kind of getting folded into it. [00:52:00] And like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if like Q kind of morphs into this stuff. [00:52:05] And like, you know, this, I think that that's like on purpose to like muddy the waters with something that's actually real. [00:52:13] You know, absolutely. [00:52:15] I mean, we saw that with 5G too. [00:52:17] Absolutely. [00:52:18] And by the way, we should say 5G is essential to this project. [00:52:22] It will not work. [00:52:23] You cannot literally map the world without 5G. [00:52:26] Well, that's, that's something that really gets your fucking brain going about this because they need, they need basically no opposition to 5G in order to implement these, let's say, dastardly plans. [00:52:36] And it's like, what they've done is they've essentially nullified any opposition to it by being like, well, these people are cranked, you know? [00:52:42] Like these people are fucking lunatics. [00:52:44] They say stuff that doesn't make any sense. [00:52:46] Well, if you were them and you wanted to make that the case, then maybe that kind of works in your favor, you know? [00:52:52] Yeah. [00:52:53] Which is, I mean, that's what it is. [00:52:54] It's everyone who opposes the idea of an entirely new global economic system where all of our lives are financial instruments for a very select few group of little bankers in like fucking London and Switzerland while we like toil away as like, you know, I don't know what like at the bug food burger factory. [00:53:21] Yeah, exactly. [00:53:22] Um, in our pod world, uh, just like mulch, financial mulch for these people. [00:53:31] Anyway, yeah. [00:53:33] Well, I don't want no hand grenades going. [00:53:35] But yeah, yeah, that's why we'll always say Truanon, anti-5G from the start, and we've never wavered. [00:53:43] No, absolutely not. [00:53:44] And you know what? [00:53:45] I'll tell you what, anti-great reset too. === I'm Practically Sweating About This! (01:05) === [00:53:48] Oh, yeah. [00:53:48] No way. [00:53:49] No thanks. [00:53:49] Well, I was wavering at the beginning. [00:53:51] I was like, well, I like great things. [00:53:53] I also tend to have to restart or like reset rather a lot of electronic instruments I use when I use them because they don't work good. [00:53:59] And that usually fixes them. [00:54:01] And so it's like the combination of the two. [00:54:02] I mean, that is so attractive to me that I'm practically sweating. [00:54:05] And then I, you know, I read what we'll go, what's going on here? [00:54:08] I don't think I like this baby. [00:54:10] Yeah, it's the not so great reset. [00:54:14] Well, that's not very catchy. [00:54:17] Standing here in total opposition to the new world order, we are Truanon. [00:54:22] My name is Brace Belden. [00:54:25] I'm Liz. [00:54:26] We are joined by producer Young Chomsky. [00:54:31] And we will see you next time. [00:54:34] Buh-bye. [00:54:53] Come out.
