One-world government. Social credit scores. You will own nothing and be happy.
At first glance, these sound like conspiracy theories. A vast right-wing conspiracy, if you will.
But the aforementioned things weren’t devised by conservatives or right-wingers. Rather, heads of government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and corporations want us to relinquish our possessions and surrender our freedoms to them.
A “new financial world order” is on the horizon, argues Carol Roth. She’s the author of the new book, You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back.
Her title derives from the viral World Economic Forum videowishcasting eight predictions by 2030–including the Orwellian-sounding “You will own nothing. And you’ll be happy.”
Due to massive backlash, WEF conveniently made it disappear. The video was a complement to a 2016 WEF essay by Danish politician Ida Auken. Like the video, it’s been archived. Yet, the Wayback Machine still retains Auken’s essay, titled, “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.”
Roth warns even President Joe Biden is committed to the war on ownership. He told the Business Roundtable in 2022 that “things are shifting…there’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it. And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.”
“The US economy has been rigged as it has been moved further away from free market capitalism to a cronyist nightmare wherein central planners and big companies work together to consolidate power,” the commentator writes.
