The Coming Economic Reset and What It May Mean To You




The Coming Economic Reset and What It May Mean to You
Junious Ricardo Stanton

            “The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
It was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit foundation and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. It is independent, impartial and not tied to any special interests.” https://www.weforum.org/about/world-economic-forum

            There are powerful individuals who meet once a year to plot and plan a global socio-economic-political agenda for the world. The World Economic Forum is one such entity.  The members of the World Economic Forum maintain they are merely a global organization of elected officials, entrepreneurs and business people seeking to influence the way the world does business, supposedly for the benefit of mankind. That sure sounds nice but is it their real agenda?
The WEF is calling for a reset, a reengineering of the world. It will outlined at their next annual meeting in January 2021. Here is what they are saying, “COVID-19 lockdowns may be gradually easing, but anxiety about the world’s social and economic prospects is only intensifying. There is good reason to worry: a sharp economic downturn has already begun, and we could be facing the worst depression since the 1930s. But, while this outcome is likely, it is not unavoidable. To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” That was written by Kaus Schwab Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/  
In another piece Schwab says this, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution, finally, will change not only what we do but also who we are. It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure, and how we develop our careers, cultivate our skills, meet people, and nurture relationships. It is already changing our health and leading to a ‘quantified’ self, and sooner than we think it may lead to human augmentation.” https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/the-fourth-industrial-revolution-what-it-means-and-how-to-respond/
What does Schwab mean by quantified self and augmentation? Sounds like some serious Frankenstein/Twilight Zone stuff to me. My question is whose interests’ do they have at heart and whose interests do they serve theirs or the masses? Are the two interests mutually beneficial or mutually exclusive?
 Looking at their institutional brochure I see very few people of color. I do see a prominent picture of Bill Gates and for me this is an ominous sign. Bill Gates like his father is a staunch eugenicist (a person who believes in a master race, population control, and sterilization).
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the WEF, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Security sponsored and held a table top exercise called Even 201 in October of 2019 in New York City. In it they gamed and used life like scenarios to determine world preparedness for a global pandemic much like we are experiencing now.  In fact their scenario was much worse! In it sixty million people died. https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/scenario.html  Just “coincidentally” after this preparedness scenario in October, New York became the US epicenter of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak a few months later.
According to the Event 201 Website, the 2019 simulation was one of several they have held over the years. https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/about Interestingly we are living out aspects of their simulation with the current SARS-CoV-2 contagion. Their recommendations to the world were: shut the global economy down which resulted in massive unemployment, economic setback, bankruptcies and suffering. They advocated bizarre “prevention modalities” like shutting down the world economy, quarantining healthy people, demanding social isolation when it is a known fact humans are social beings who need and thrive best in social environments!
While their Website doesn’t detail the World Economic Forum’s exact plans for the coming global reset, I hope their agenda is not as draconian as what they planned during Event 201 and the real life SARS-CoV-2! Keep your eyes and ears peeled.

Don't Allow the .001% to Make Fools of US



Don’t Allow The 1% to Make Fools of Us
Junious Ricardo Stanton

            The only way an extremely small percentage of the world’s population can rob, and hoard most of the world’s wealth and manipulate and control the masses to work against our own best interests is to trick and dupe us into doing their bidding. The ruling classes don’t respect us; they view us as submissive sheep to be sheered and slaughtered at will. But they are not going to come out and say this in public to us, they use fancy and noble sounding words and phrases and coercion to dupe and intimidate us into going along with their program and their okey-doke. However upon closer examination this is exactly what they are doing to us now and have done for thousands of years. The later great Dr. Amos Wilson once said, “In sum, the ruling groups cannot maintain their hegemony and sustain socioeconomic inequality which are the foundations of their regency, without perverting the ostensible missions of the society’s sociopolitical institutions and utilizing them as instruments of oppression. In America this perversion must take place while the ruling groups hide their oppressive faces behind the seductive façade of democracy, liberty, equality, and brotherhood.” Black On Black Violence The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation In Service of White Domination page 46
 Abraham Lincoln once said, “You can fool all of the people some of the time, you can fool all the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”  George W. Bu$h a man no one ever accused of being brilliant said, “You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.” Our challenge as citizens of the world is not to be the ones the ruling classes concentrate on to hoodwink and bamboozle. But this is becoming more and more difficult every passing day due to the nefarious plotting and planning the ruling classes and their minions engage in for this very purpose.
Most of their cunning is done in secret and they use misdirection and deceit to execute their agenda. Most people in the US don’t know the ruling elites’ history of mind control, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/what-we-know-about-cias-midcentury-mind-control-project-180962836/ , they know very little about eugenics and population control http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/unwanted-sterilization-and-eugenics-programs-in-the-united-states/, social engineering, https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2018/07/18/social_engineering_as_a_threat_to_societies_the_cambridge_analytica_case_113620.html  or their plans to reduce us to debt peons and wage slaves.  https://www.truthdig.com/articles/breaking-the-chains-of-debt-peonage/ 
How is this possible? Because the ruling elites own the media and a handful of conglomerates control almost all media in the US https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielshapiro/2019/05/15/worlds-largest-media-companies-2019/#2531c3aa754b  Their goal is to control our thinking, to mold our worldviews and create a fake reality within an ubiquitous Matrix we are unaware of through the use of algorithms to predict, manipulate and control our thinking, buying and behavior. I call it the three “B’s” what we believe, what we buy and how we behave.  https://cyber.harvard.edu/story/2018-07/understanding-media-and-information-quality-age-artificial-intelligence-automation
 The ruling classes have gotten us hooked and addicted to their “social media” which is even more pervasive than television. Most of us are unaware social media is the Trojan horse to access our minds. We buy it and use it because it is popular, it gives us “status” and we are made to think, by the PR and advertising companies owned or employed by the ruling classes, that we cannot live without it. We never stop to think or ask is this thing spying on me, manipulating me or how this is affecting me.
The secret is, it is in a very cunning manner. “Algorithms are invisible pieces of code that tell a computer how to accomplish a specific task. Think of it as a recipe for a computer: An algorithm tells the computer what to do in order to produce a certain outcome. Every time you do a Google search or look at your Facebook feed or use GPS navigation in your car, you’re interacting with an algorithm. A new book by Hannah Fry, a mathematician at University College London, argues that we shouldn’t think of algorithms themselves as either good or bad, but that we should be paying much more attention to the people programming them. Algorithms are making hugely consequential decisions in our society on everything from medicine to transportation to welfare benefits to criminal justice and beyond. Yet the general public knows almost nothing about them, and even less about the engineers and coders who are creating them behind the scenes.” https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/10/1/17882340/how-algorithms-control-your-life-hannah-fry
            The goal of the modern ruling class which includes corporate CEOs, both elected and non-elected officials is to create a social environment that is predictable for them because they program and control it. One of the ways they do this is to control what we watch, listen to, think and believe. They are not doing this for our benefit. Former CIA Director William Casey who served under Ronald Reagan said, “We’ll Know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” This is an actual quote and it is symbolic of the ruling class’ disdain and intent for us. It is up to us not to allow them to dumb us down. There is no real red pill for us to take to wake ourselves up. What we have to do is to think for yourself, be skeptical, discerning and discriminating with your media consumption.

Big Pharma Has A Major Image Problem




Big Pharma Has A Major Image Problem
Junious Ricardo Stanton

“The new low in the pharmaceutical industry's U.S. image comes amid a range of criticisms of industry norms, from generating the highest drug costs in the world to spending massive amounts in lobbying politicians to the industry's role in the U.S. opioid crisis. Several Democratic candidates have called out the industry in their party's presidential debates. Just after Gallup conducted this poll, an Oklahoma judge ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for its role in the state's opioid epidemic. Meanwhile, legislators on Capitol Hill are working to rein in the industry's drug prices.” https://news.gallup.com/poll/266060/big-pharma-sinks-bottom-industry-rankings.aspx

            The ravages of the global SARS-CoV-2 outbreak have placed the spotlight on the multinational pharmaceutical companies whose reputations have been tanking the past few years as they rush to create a vaccine and treatment therapies for the disease. But “Big Pharma” has a serious image problem. In a 2019 Gallup Poll survey respondents ranked the pharmaceutical industry the lowest. https://news.gallup.com/poll/266060/big-pharma-sinks-bottom-industry-rankings.aspx
This is not surprising since the industry has come under increasing scrutiny and ire for an assortment of reasons like: high prices, price gauging, and responsibility for the opioid crisis, safety concerns and the numerous legal actions taken against them. It doesn’t help that the industry spends far more on marketing and advertising than it does on research and development! https://www.vox.com/2015/2/11/8018691/big-pharma-research-advertising
            The opioid crisis currently raging across this country has not helped the public feel warm and fuzzy towards the pharmaceutical industry. While physicians write the prescription the drug companies are the ones who schmoozed doctors, wined and dined them to get them to prescribe their drugs. Some doctors even received kick backs from industry reps and the companies. “CNN reports millions of dollars paid to doctors by companies that make opioids, but these payments are just the tip of the iceberg. Using ProPublica‘s database, we looked at all pharmaceuticals that had at least $10 million in payments to doctors between 2013 and 2015. The indications for these drugs run the gamut, from diabetes to Parkinson’s to skin disorders and more.
But the drugs for which companies paid the most to doctors were not opioids – they were cancer drugs, blood thinners, and drugs to treat mental health conditions. Companies also shelled out a substantial amount (more than $150 million) for drugs to treat diabetes and multiple sclerosis.” Industry Payments to Doctors: Opioids Are The Tip of The Iceberg Judith Garber https://lowninstitute.org/industry-payments-to-doctors-opioids-are-the-tip-of-the-iceberg/
            The US has the best government money can buy and Big Pharma is one of the top bribers. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the top spenders when it comes to lobbying Congress to get what it wants. “The pharmaceutical industry is holding on to its title as the top lobbying force in Washington amid pressure from lawmakers at all ends of the ideological spectrum. Drugmakers have spent more than $129 million through September, slightly down from nearly $133 million at this time last year, but still far more than any other industry. The larger pharmaceutical / health products industry, which includes medical devices and dietary supplement companies along with drug makers, spent $228 million through the third quarter of 2019, a record-breaking pace that is up $10 million from this time last year…Some of the biggest increases from the industry came from Akebia Therapeutics (up to $1.5 million from $110,000 this time last year) and Humira manufacturer AbbVie (up to $5.4 million from $4.3 million). The industry’s main trade association, Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America, increased its spending by $930,750 to nearly $22.8 million. It is the fourth-highest lobbying spender so far. That spending comes on top of the industry’s many ad campaigns designed to influence lawmakers and the general public. The industry fights threatening legislation in creative ways, including funding prominent but unrelated associations to push pro-industry messages on the airwaves.” Big Pharm Continues To Top Lobbying Spending Karl Evers- Hillstom https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/10/big-pharma-continues-to-top-lobbying-spending/
            Big Pharma has come under serious attack by activists claiming vaccines are the cause of the rise in autism, the drug companies have also faced major law suits because of adverse affects of their products. There has been a raging debate between supporters of the Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and those who claim the vaccine is linked to autism. The opponents are called anti-vaxxers. The corporate media generally sides with the CDC, WHO and Gates and Big Pharma. Many parent groups are skeptical about the efficacy and safety of vaccines. Studies sponsored and paid for by both sides are used to buttress each side’s positions. So far it seems to be a draw but the debate has left many very suspicious of Big Pharma and the industry has not been able to shake this mistrust. To compound matters, in recent years several multinational pharmaceutical companies have faced and lost major lawsuits over their products harmful affects and not just from opioids. https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/biggest-pharmaceutical-lawsuits/.
            A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll indicated a quarter of Americans stated they had no interest in taking a COVID 19 vaccine if it was offered because they had serious concerns about how the vaccines were being rushed to market (48%) and another segment (42%) stated they didn’t trust the vaccine makers. http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=61474 
Now Big Pharma is trying to clean up its image in anticipation of a humongous payday with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and treatment therapies. There is a push and rush to come up with vaccines and therapies for SARS-CoV-2 which will provide a boondoggle for Big Pharma. In their typical profit over people mindset, Big Pharma is skipping the normal research and testing process to get their products to market. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-vaccine-trial-no-animal-testing.html
We need to remember why Big Pharma has such a poor reputation and has garnered so much mistrust! We must keep an eye on the fact they are being given carte blanche and immunity from legal liability to fast track these COVID 19 drugs, getting them to market by skipping the usual testing procedures.
            This is why Bill Gates keeps pushing the lock down until a vaccine is available and Trump promises a vaccine with a few months! We need to be extremely skeptical and vigilant about these vaccines.  https://thefreedomarticles.com/criminal-big-pharma-put-in-charge-covid-19-vaccine/ Remember Bill Gates is a eugenicist (a racist who favors selective breeding) and is pushing for depopulation, population control and sterilization through vaccination. https://www.fli.org.au/bill-gates-saviour-for-a-new-world-order/. Big Pharma is part of Gates’ eugenic agenda.

The American Powder Keg



The American Powder Keg
Junious Ricardo Stanton

“On May 26, hundreds of protesters were attacked by police in the city of Minneapolis during a protest against the murder of George Floyd, an African-American man, by a police officer on Monday May 25. Protesters gathered at the intersection where Lloyd was murdered on Tuesday May 26 after the news of his death spread over social media. A memorial for Floyd was organized and people chanted against the police and held up signs condemning institutionalized racism in the US. Protests were also held outside the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd precinct office building, the circle to which the accused police officers belonged to. Eye witness accounts over social media alleged that police were found using tear gas, drones and riot gear to disperse the crowd, leading to a violent clash at the scene.” https://peoplesdispatch.org/2020/05/27/widespread-outrage-across-the-us-over-the-murder-of-george-lloyd-by-police/

            Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’ callous and nonchalant actions that directly contributed to the death of George Lloyd as three fellow officers stood passively by has sparked national demonstrations, protests and riots.
Lloyd’s death received more media coverage than the March 2020 death of Breonna Taylor an EMT by Louisville Police who busted into her home firing wildly while attempting to execute a search warrant at what turned out to be the wrong house. Her murder followed the killing of Ahmaud Arbery who was innocently jogging in Glynn County Georgia by three white men in February. These deaths were senseless and uncalled for as are all the deaths by the hands of our own people due to the hatred and negation we have internalized from this society. We have to be more resolute when we affirm Black Lives Matter if we want to make it real!
            George Lloyd’s death occurred during a time folks were extremely frustrated and anxious due to the round the clock gloom, doom and death propaganda about the SARS-CoV-2 by the corporate and monopoly social media (Facebook, Google, Twitter etc), also from being locked down as the US economy came to a grinding halt and because of the uncertainty of their futures.
The policy of economic shutdown, social isolation, wearing masks, social distancing, not being able to visit relatives in the hospital or acute care facilities has heightened the stress levels of many Americans and concomitantly undermined the psychological and physical wellbeing of many people.
            The controlled narrative promoted by the media and the political overreach of many elected officials have contributed to unheralded fear, stress and pressure. While people may not be able to fully articulate their frustrations and fears part of their frustration is because there are no historical, scientific or medical precedents to social and economic lockdowns. Deep down inside they know something is not right. We intuitively know humans need and crave contact, interaction and intimacy so the lockdown runs counter to our basic psychological and social needs.
            The frustrations and the anxiety about their future and more importantly the fear generated by the media hype of SAS-CoV-2 have increased the stress levels and the demonstrations and riots we are seeing now are not necessarily centered on the death of George Lloyd. Life as we knew it has changed people didn’t have the usual diversions to take their mind off of their troubles, in person no sports, concerts or large gatherings When an organism, machine or person is under immense stress, it needs a release or it will explode. Despite the control of the COVID 19 narrative there are psychologists warning of unhealthy outcomes from the lockdowns. “Over long periods of time, social isolation can increase the risk of a variety of health problems, including heart disease, depression, dementia, and even death. A 2015 meta-analysis of the scientific literature by Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a research psychologist at Brigham Young University, and colleagues determined that chronic social isolation increases the risk of mortality by 29%.  That may be because social contacts can buffer the negative effects of stress. Lab studies by Holt-Lunstad and others have found that having a friend present can reduce a person’s cardiovascular response to a stressful task. There’s even a correlation between perceived social connectedness and stress responses.” Social Distancing Prevents Infections But It can Have Unintended Consequences Greg Miller https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/we-are-social-species-how-will-social-distancing-affect-us.
Technology can help but humans need closeness in their interactions. “Even so, those modes of communication don’t entirely replace face-to-face interactions, Segrin says. ‘When we interact with other people, a lot of the meaning conveyed between two people is actually not conveyed in the actual words, but in nonverbal behavior,’ he says. A lot of those subtleties of body language, facial expressions, and gestures can get lost with electronic media. ‘They’re not as good as face to face interactions, but they’re infinitely better than no interaction,’ Segrin says.” ibid
            While Lloyd’s death was egregious many of the nationwide protests are due to people wanting to get out, mix and mingle especially for a worthy cause. People want to express their displeasure at the system including their unhappiness with the lockdowns and their anxiety about the economy. In many ways their protests are a way for them to let off steam. The riots may have been deliberately provoked, time will tell but emotions are running high and much of that is due to current events. These protests are providing a release.
