The Great Reset

In a recent sit-down with Reason, Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey warned that "a lot of the liberties that I've taken for granted most of my life, I think, are under threat." Mackey said that his concern "is that I feel like socialists are taking over." Long-time editor of Reason, Nick Gillespie writes of his conversation with Mackey: At the end of August, Mackey, born in 1953, is retiring from Whole Foods. Throughout his career, John has developed and evangelized for what he calls "conscious capitalism," or businesses that seek to "create financial, intellectual, social, cultural, emotional, … [Read more...]

Around the world, elected governments are working against farmers and causing artificial famine in the name of slowing down climate change. What good is a cooler world if there's nothing to eat? At The American Thinker, Andrea Widburg discusses the efforts by Ireland, Canada, and the Netherlands to slow down food production, writing: Thomas Malthus predicted that famine was the inevitable byproduct of agriculturally successful populations: A well-fed population would breed faster than the agricultural sector could grow. For him, that was an unavoidable tragedy. Modern leftist governments, … [Read more...]

The world has been watching in suspense as farmers in Holland protest pending legislation that will put many of them, and their multi-generationally owned farms, out of business. But, as Chris Johnson explains in The American Conservative, the legislation these farmers are fighting didn't materialize out of the ether. It's a planned attack on their livelihoods, and it all stems from the World Economic Forum, the birthplace of the Great Reset. Johnson writes: It was less than half a year ago that Canadian truckers brought downtown Ottawa to a gridlocked standstill protesting Covid … [Read more...]

You know that the Great Reset agenda is all about using crises to push for change that fundamentally alters society to fight the World Economic Forum's (WEF) current bogeyman, climate change. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the WEF used the pandemic as a reason to push its agenda, and now without missing a beat, its allies on the progressive left are using the war in Ukraine to do the same thing. Now, they're doing so by putting pressure on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) funds to exclude natural gas companies. Doing so, they say, will punish Russia and move the West away … [Read more...]

What’s going on in LA, San Fran, Chicago, Minnesota? Apparently, nothing, according to that rep from New York, whose name sounds like AOL. The more you think about it, the more you realize this is the America they want. Fewer families, fewer independent thinkers, less self-reliance, and more radical progressives. When departing Mayor De Blasio puts coal in the stockings of private business owners in New York City with a forced vax mandate, that tells it all. He does not want you. He doesn’t want your business. He’d prefer it if you moved to Florida to clear the way in his next run for … [Read more...]

“Why is this happening?” You ask yourself. “Why is our supply chain broken? Why are there ghost ships rotting away in global ports and off the shores of California?” When one of these ships loaded with volatile ammonia sat for years in Lebanon, and then they finally unloaded it onshore, it blew up, killing hundreds of people in the resulting explosion. Was it an accident? When you read about the crews stuck on these ships, being treated like slaves, barely surviving on months of rice and water, a simple question comes to mind. Why are the owners abandoning ship? What businessman would leave … [Read more...]
