As IF Times

By now we’ve all been made aware of the ultimate goal of the goblins of the World Economic Forum and their goals for the New World Order: You will own nothing and be happy.  To most people raised in a time of working to achieve the basic necessities of life such as a home and perhaps basic transportation, this is a galling affront to their value system.

For the majority of time in man’s existence, the ‘ownership’ of things, especially of land, was the purview only of the powerful and rich. If you could keep intruders from your lands, then it was yours.  It was a simple matter of having enough ability to keep interlopers at bay.  So you only needed to have an army to bully others off your land.  These people wound up being kings and masters of their domain.  But for the average peon, they were relegated to working on such lands for the powerful owner but derived no ownership rights.

With the creation of the New World, the Americas, also came the privilege of property rights.  Ordinary working people were allowed to actually own land that was purchased from some authority.  Rather than having to actually fight to defend their property, they were given legal rights of ownership.  We can argue that this sense of permanence and belonging created strong communities because they were willing to defend a home which was theirs.  We can also argue that this grounding also gave birth to industry and real democracy since the achievements of one contributed to the achievements of many.

One of the greatest aspirations of most North Americans is to own their own home. Planting roots in a community to achieve this gave stability to that community.

The WEF statement pushes back strongly on this notion and in fact targets the reversal of hundreds of years of western civilization.  Once again, they want to concentrate ownership of virtually all things to the State, or at least to a very small cabal of owners.

This is offensive to anyone who has worked during their lives to improve the circumstances of their families.  Nobody wants to work for some entitled gnome.  That’s what you’d think.

But if you think about the trends in society over the past few generations, that WEF goal may not be that far-fetched and in fact they are making progress towards their goal.

Does anyone really ‘own’ their home?  Of course, there are property rights assigned to ‘owners’ but there are also property obligations, notably permanent property taxes. Not to mention the long term finance costs to banks for the majority of owners.  Cars have gone the same way.  Early on, it was feasible to actually own a car within a short time.  Now, it’s preposterously expensive to own a car and so accordingly, many turn to leasing for a term of between 3 to 5 years instead of ownership. Thus you’re effectively renting a vehicle only to renew the rental at the end of the term.

What about a simple phone?  There’s no such thing.  In addition to paying perhaps over $1000 for the newest phone product, you are tethered to a long term contract to use the device.  Who doesn’t have a phone these days?  Phones have been inextricably woven into our everyday lives not just for communication, but also for entertainment, for payments, for access, and most of all for identification.

Speaking of entertainment, the models have all moved to subscription plans.  You don’t buy DVD’s anymore.  You have a subscription to Netflix, Amazon Prime or any of the multitudes of video platforms.  Thus you pay every time you consume a video.  You don’t own a video as you used to be able to.   How about music?  Does anyone use CD’s or records anymore?  Why would they when they can stream on platforms such as Spotify?  But now, you pay a subscription fee just to listen to your favorite music. Interestingly, I have noticed the growing popularity of Ipod style devices which store music without subscription, so perhaps at least in this instance, there’s pushback.

Even in the field of healthcare, people are pushed into subscription models just to see a doctor.  Doctors don’t work for themselves, they are all part of large HMO’s which dictate how their services are dispensed.  Vaccines?  You don’t just get them once, you have to have them regularly like software updates.

Businesses have cleverly created business models that capture subscribers for the long term by selling convenience.  And it’s working.  People are so used to having instant gratification that they unwittingly pay constantly for things that they used to own outright. Now people are tethering themselves to long term consumerism. Ironically the rampant consumerism driving the west has led to people owning fewer things.  Don’t look now, but it looks like the Globalists are having their way.
