Dear Freedom Friends,

For years, I’ve ruminated on the idea of “economic cannibalism.”

When talking about cannibalism people generally think of three types:

Crazy people who eat other people because they’re mentally ill
Cultures that ritualize or normalize various forms of cannibalism
And, those morally ambiguous, desperate situations where people cannibalize one another to survive an extreme emergency.

There is a fourth form of cannibalism that is well-accepted and prevalent throughout most of human history:

Economic Cannibalism.

When we think about the enslavement of human beings, who doesn’t come to mind?

Modern Sex Trafficking, Prison Labor, Labor Camps and undocumented immigrants who are continually underpaid or forced into illegal work
British indentured servitude in the colonies
Enslavement of Africans & Indigenous People in Europe and the New World during the Transatlantic Slave Trade
The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Aztecs, Arab Cultures, India, China, Japan, European Colonizers of Australia, Polynesians, and the indigenous peoples of North, Central and South America…and so on.

We’ve been doing this to one another for millennia, and it’s time to call it what it is. The enslavement of a human being — legally or illegally — is economic cannibalism, and there’s a correlary to this truism: all wars are fought for resources. Not God & Country. Not to save victims from tyrannical governments or horrible situations. Not to preserve human rights or spread the freedom of democracy. These are all window dressings for an ugly reality: we hurt other people because we want what they have or can give us. WAR is all about resources.

Can I rent your womb?

Across the planet, children are born to surrogate mothers, but most of them (surprise, surprise) are born in Ukraine where the renting of a womb is legal. In almost all cases, surrogates live in poor countries or communities under situations so harsh that renting out their womb for 10 months becomes a reasonable option. All so “the economically wealthy” can get what they want: their own biological child.

They could adopt. Global orphanages are bulging with perfectly healthy children languishing in cribs, dying of emotional starvation and neglect. But, these children are passed over. Why? Because they aren’t good enough. (If that bothers you…it should. It’s also true.)

1,000 Babies Born to Ukrainian Surrogates Stranded by Covid Travel Restrictions

Fiction writers have long sought to raise the alarm on our dangerous human proclivity for “economic cannibalism” of all sorts. Our lust for resources, our selfishness, and our capacity for destruction (of ourselves and the natural world) is legendary, but perhaps none are so blunt and to the point as The Dark Crystal, directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz.

In the Dark Crystal, the Skeksis drain the surrounding lands of life, even going so far as to extract the “life essence” of the Gelflings to create an elixir of rejuvenation. When a prophecy calls for a Gelfling to threaten the Skeksis’ extreme power by returning balance to the world, they choose genocide, only to then discover that the Gelfling “life essence” was the only one that really worked, harming themselves in the process of harming the world around them. This is an obvious & effective allegory.

Economic Cannibalism Implies the Consuming of the Poor by the Rich

And, if you think The Dark Crystal is more fiction than reality, consider the horrors of the organ transplant black market. Can “economic cannibalism” get any more blatant than this? Yes, actually. The selling of aborted fetuses to a scienctific world that has fallen sharply off the cliff of moral rectitude. And I say this as a woman who completely supports our Human Right to control both our fertility and our pregnancies. Quite simply, there is a huge difference between providing abortion services to women and selling body parts.

Ever Wonder at the Worth of a Human Being?

Does it get anymore blatant that this? One human = $712,000

Where does it stop? Not with the World Economic Forum.

When we look at the details of the “Great Reset,” it is an obvious attempt to normalize “human beings as resources,” but first, let me clarify what economic cannibalism is not.

Some may want to take these ideas to an extreme and claim that every form of employment is economic cannibalism. I don’t believe that to be the case. To trade one’s labor for another person’s apples or another person’s gold or another person’s sheep or a place to sleep in another person’s barn is not cannibalism. It’s a trade. To trade one’s labor for resources, rewards, income or whatever you want to call it — is completely normal and legitimate and not cannibalism.

However, it may or may not be a fair trade, and this is where the line is drawn. Economic cannibalism occurs when economic systems exist that indoctrinate and codify unfairness or unequal transactions into a system of “wage slavery” (to use a popular term) or otherwise result in endless, inescapable poverty. The resulting desperation leads people to sell themselves, sell their children, sell their neighbors or sell strangers to those who can buy them…the beneficiaries of systemic, imbalanced economic systems of trade.

We will never achieve 100% fairness. That’s natural and unavoidable, but there are gradations between complete unfairness (such as, New World slavery as a racialized, inherited institution in which slaves were black and slave owners were white), and the rare moments of actual, perfect fairness that occur between two human beings with tremendous moral strength or an authentic relationship where they love and care for one another. In these cases, we see trades that are absolutely fair and equal, but these are exceptionally rare.

Most of the time, we live in the middle of these two extremes. There will always be those people who want to do good. And on the other side, we have those who are willing, comfortable and eager to conduct an unfair trade that benefits themselves while harming others. Sometimes they become an actual thief. Other times, they become an expert haggler, spinning lies and manipulations that convince an unwary customer to overpay for a product or service. Sometimes they become a politician.

And sometimes, they become a graduate of “The Forum of Young Global Leaders.” Created by Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Young Global Leaders is a non-profit organization managed from Geneva, Switzerland, under the supervision of the Swiss government.

Correlation does not equal Causation, but it does raise eyebrows. Hmmm.

“Under the supervision of the Swiss Government.” Switzerland is an interesting country with a long, long history of being famously noncommittal, neutral territory. Yes, or no?

The Swiss Guard are the personal escorts to the Pope, the watchmen of Vatican City and the pontifical villa of Castel Gandolfo. This relationship puts Switzerland and the most powerful Church on Earth into a tight relationship. The guards, who are independent of the Swiss armed forces must also be unmarried Roman Catholic males with Swiss citizenship, between 19 and 30 years of age, and they must have completed basic training with the Swiss military.
Switzerland and the Catholic Church aligned during WWII, with both claiming neutrality amidst the horrors of war. Adopting a stance of official neutrality, the Vatican refused to yield to Allied pressure to speak out against the Nazis, as did Switzerland.
Switzerland is one of the world's most popular tax havens. It attracts wealthy individuals and foreign businesses with favorable tax rates, a strong economy, and a banking system renowned for its' secrecy.
And Davos, Switzerland is the Home of the World Economic Forum.

BILL GATES & WEF PR TEAMS ROCK!

I have to hand it to the WEF — their PR team is phenomenal, especially in the world of Google Search Manipulation. Whenever you “google” something and everything comes up bright, happy and positive…for pages and pages and pages of results…don’t trust it. I eventually found an article offering something other than a glowing report on all things WEF. Published January 20th, 2015, this article IS worth your time: World Economic Forum: a history and analysis.

So, March. What does the WEF have to do with Economic Cannibalism?

Control.

In the Lakota tradition no one owns anything at all except for their body. This is what most of us mean when we say, “You don’t get to take your toys with you.” When you die, you leave everything (except perhaps your soul) behind, and so, every THING in our life is on loan. It’s borrowed. In which case, why should this bother me?

Again…control.

The above message has nothing to do with ownership and everything to do with control. The World Economic Forum is made up of Robber Barons who seek to steal the planet from the people, turning us into a new generation of serfs, held in bondage through lack of control (in our hands) and massive, terrifying control (in their hands).

Because we already don’t own anything, except our bodies, what will I be “buying” when I pay off our mortgage in November 2025? I will be buying control over our land. So long as we keep up with our taxes, society will allow us to have majority control over our home and land. Not 100% control, because we all live in zoned regions with limitations on land use, occupancy levels, housing choices, even the animals we’re allowed to own. Roosters in the city (a no-no) come to mind.

But still, it is control. In my hands…bequeathable to my children and their children and their children after them. Unlike most people who have become inured to the idea of every generation spending 30-40 years sweating and working and laboring to “buy” a home, our family has planned to pay off our mortgage and gift our children with an amazing, 5-acre food forest, garden and sustainable home, that can nurture, feed and shelter future generations of our family. We seek to spare them the blood, sweat and tears that go into a life dedicated to paying for a home, and that is a beautiful thing to aspire to and achieve. Imagine if one generation can spare multiple generations the same effort, allowing them to flourish and develop the family farm, developing skills, art, joy, creativity and living more healthfully?

Current Rights of Ownership = Independence & Stewardship + Control.
WEF’s Economic Cannibalism = Vulnerable Dependency + Lack of Control.

“Store Pay Is Our Ruin”: The Tyranny of the Company Store

Quote: “Starting in the mid-19th century, industrial methods of producing goods began to overtake the small-scale methods of artisans and apprentices. The artisanal ideal of independence was eroded by the replacement of craft work by machine work, strict new work rules, and the growth of child labor. For miners and some other workers, the prevalence of store pay (wages paid only as credit), scrip wages (money redeemable only by the company), and company stores intensified their dependence on employers. If company stores lacked the items that miners wanted, they had no alternative but to do without. In these three excerpts from the Ohio Bureau of Labor Statistics First Annual Report in 1878, miners complained about the stranglehold that company-owned stores, scrip wages, and store pay had on the welfare and independence of coal and iron ore workers in the Buckeye State.”

In other words, we’ve been here before and we know it doesn’t go well…let’s not repeat the same mistake all over again!

To close the loop, when we look at all the forms of “economic cannibalism,” what we see is people taking what they want from other people. They do this because there is unequal power, allowing one group to take advantage of the other. Have no doubt, if the people of the world do not unite against the dangerous World Economic Forum cabal of “stakeholders,” the darkness to come will make the European Middle Ages look idyllic.

The World Economic Forum is the most dangerous organization on Earth today. The primary drivers of the WEF are egregiously over-powered individuals and organizations who have lost their collective minds. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the first illnesses of narcissism and hubris are closely followed by a complete break with reality.

Want proof? This comes from the WEF’s own website, and btw, please notice: the creepy handshake image is made up of a “child’s” hand and an adult hand that is clearly not reciprocating - as if whoever chose the image for this WEF presentation is hoping we’ll catch the subtle patronizing implications of inequality?

I’m sorry! Is this a joke?

Corporate Governance?
Public Perception of Big Pharma, Banks and Governments has improved?
Big Tech Companies are most trusted?

To say these things, you truly must be drunk on power, or a liar with no conscience. Seriously. Exactly who are they polling?

If the World Economic Form has its way, a “Public/Private Corporate/Government Totalitarian Global State” will claim ownership over our world, with the “Stakeholder Godlings of the WEF controlling everything; including our consumption of the environment).

Dear Environmentalists: The WEF is not, not, not your solution to Climate & other environmental issues. From North Korea, to China to the USSR, environmental degradation is markedly greater (worse) under totalitarianism, and this Down To Earth article begins to explains why.

Quote: “During seven decades of Soviet regime, there was a trade-off between economy and environment. Like many socialist states, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) believed in communal ownership of almost every property and treated nature as a free resource that the government has right to exploit. With very little regard for future, the USSR continued to run its economic engine, leaving behind a legacy of environmental catastrophe, including desertification and pollution.”

Such an unlimited system, drunk with power and lacking checks & balances will surely destroy the world and engage in a level of economic cannibalism greater than what we saw when the British Empire ravaged the world, enslaved everyone they encountered, and massacred those who resisted.

What did the USSR promise its people? You will own nothing and you will be happy. How did that work out? It’s the same story presented with slightly different colored wrapping paper.

I will leave you with a specific example of how inequality has increased under the direct guidance and pressures applied by the WEF: source.

Of great significance also was the attendance of Nelson Mandela, the new president of South Africa. When Mandela was released from prison in 1990, he declared the policy of the African National Congress (ANC) was to implement “the nationalization of the mines, banks and monopoly industries.” When Mandela attended the January 1992 meeting of the WEF just after becoming president, he changed his views and embraced “capitalism and globalization.”

Mandela attended the meeting alongside the governor of the central bank of South Africa, Tito Mboweni, who explained that Mandela arrived with a speech written by ANC officials focusing on nationalization. As the week’s meetings continued, Mandela met with leaders from Communist Parties in China and Vietnam, who told him, “We are currently striving to privatize state enterprises and invite private enterprise into our economies. We are Communist Party governments, and you are a leader of a national liberation movement. Why are you talking about nationalization?”

As a result, Mandela changed his views, telling the Davos crowd that he would open South Africa up as a market economy and encourage investment. South Africa subsequently became the continent’s fastest growing economy, though inequality today is greater than it was during apartheid.

As Mandela explained to his official biographer, he came home from the 1992 WEF meeting and told other top officials that they had to choose: “We either keep nationalization and get no investment, or we modify our own attitude and get investment.”

THIS IS WHAT “THE PEOPLE’S CONVOY” IS ALL ABOUT: PROTECTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. IF WE DO NOT MAINTAIN THE SANCTITY OF OUR NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND THE PROTECTIONS OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS, WE WILL FALL TO OUR ENEMIES (FOREIGN & DOMESTIC).
