Because I am one of those people who listens to what the power elite tell us they\u2019re going to do, then take them at their word and prepare for it. Many people have been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/crazy-conspiracy-theories-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exposing<\/a>\u00a0this longer than I. However, I still put 13-plus years of my life into researching and exposing the globalist agenda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Almost none of what happens today is a surprise to me because it\u2019s been bragged about for generations. After many years of learning about their agendas and conspiracies, this is the world as I see it. So take it with as many grains of salt as you wish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But, it will all end soon, won\u2019t it?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As a prepper, a stoic view of reality is necessary to see reality for what it is at present. And it is essential to learn how it got to this point and predict what direction it will take in the future. We can then be adequately reactive and proactive in adapting and overcoming what is and what will happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Overdosing on\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201chopium\u201d<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0or succumbing to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/prepper-failure-imagination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">normalcy bias<\/a> can be detrimental to the point of suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Naturally, it would benefit us if rosy assessments of the current reality were accurate or confirmed in the end. No one, least of all me, wants to live on a giant slave planet where the masses of humanity are\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">so inured, so\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/social-credit-system-closer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helplessly dependent on the system<\/a><\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, that they willfully submit to enslavement. Nor passively stand by while the population is culled by elites who believe they have the right to determine we are unworthy of life itself and all the inherent rights that come with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Social media\u2019s echo chambers magnify a statistically insignificant portion of the population speaking up and resisting. We comfort ourselves that this will all end soon if we expose the agenda to enough people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Strike now, while the iron is hot<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many, such as the ordinarily great\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.larkenrose.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Larken Rose<\/a>, claim the warp speed advancement of the globalist agenda signifies their panicking that humanity is awakening. Quite frankly, those claims are delusional and indicative of too much time spent inside social media\u2019s echo chambers. Or, a cynical desire to make as much money as possible while the gettin\u2019s still good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Those claims are also indicative of a steadfast refusal to believe the Establishment can carry out such conspiracies even though they\u2019ve had a monopoly on creating and distributing fiat currency for over 100 years. And have, during that time, literally bought the entirety of society. If you want an ironclad example of that fact, consider how they just stole a general election. The Establishment (the courts, Congress, state legislatures, media, and everything in between) destroyed any attempt to expose the fraud or prosecute those responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The fact of the matter is, they\u2019re moving quickly now because they\u2019ve previously\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">underestimated\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">how firm their grasp is on the minds of humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All across America and the developed world, businesses were ordered to close<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I\u2019m not sure if anyone can say what percentage or how many tens or even hundreds of thousands of small businesses shuttered under government orders and never opened again. Anyone who had to work, who didn\u2019t have the luxury of sitting on their couch soaking up 24\/7 news coverage while raking in far more in unemployment than they earned working, saw the hypocrisy of being forced to shut down. At the same time, Walmart and the big corporations were\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/lockdown-retailers-decide-items-essential\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declared \u201cessential\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and remained open,\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">yet they closed down anyway<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We all knew if they and their customers had each others\u2019 backs and said \u201cNO\u201d en masse, there would be nothing the government could do except pound sand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The heroes who did say no were quickly singled out to be viciously harassed, fined, and often destroyed. Whether the people believe the current scam du jour, their belief in authority, their identity as a \u201claw-abiding citizen\u201d is a yoke that will cripple them every time. Disobeying even the most vicious and unlawful edict is unthinkable to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">People will say no\u2026until they don\u2019t<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Government officials are coming under increased scrutiny for continuously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/top-republican-accuses-white-house-172409343.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJRYn-cP53NpoonGygEe3ddKNIRTHwhnuvjcXURceErLGdrZfemndSx_zIh86nJtSnPiza-D_i5yI1XqpeDCmEyfKbqOXq4XSS8al0u3epX3CmoGHCnoC2dDt8B1ESNCFS-M9UhENT9CX9aqwDvzejfestY_f4vJl-in95K3breu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moving the goalposts<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Just two weeks to flatten the curve<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We can go back to normal when we get the vaccine<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The vaccine is safe and effective, but you must remain locked down, social distance, and wear three masks.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When does this end?

And, like a social security number, birth certificate, or driver\u2019s license, employers will not hire you without up-to-date proof of vaccination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">People will say no to the vaccine right up until they look around at everything they own, at their children, and see no alternative but to take the shots. At that point, it will be too late for counter-economic solutions like agorism and prepping.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your thoughts are not your own<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I\u2019ve learned over these past 13 years that globalists have mastered the psychology of the human mind. They know us better than we know ourselves. Because not only do we not know ourselves, we don\u2019t know we are being manipulated. We don\u2019t know we are victims of generations of cumulative trauma-based mind control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let me assure you: if you think you\u2019re not mind-controlled, you\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">definitely<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The globalists are not moving forward because they\u2019re scared. They\u2019re moving forward because the initial reaction to the scam was perfect. I believe COVID-19 was a test run. But it went so flawlessly, so swimmingly for them, that they decided to fast-track their plans. For example, the pandemic wargame known as\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.centerforhealthsecurity.org\/our-work\/publications\/the-spars-pandemic-2025-2028-a-futuristic-scenario-to-facilitate-medical-countermeasure-communication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SPARS 25-28<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0mirrors the present situation perfectly in all aspects. And, as its title suggests has been moved up five years (watch 2023!) Because why put off for tomorrow what you can accomplish today?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now is not the time to give up or give in<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What I witnessed in my hometown gave me no reason to hope that there is an awakening. On my social media accounts? Sure. Lots of people refusing masks, refusing vaccines, opposing the scam. But in the real world, mind control, as epitomized by Hitler\u2019s maxim,\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth,\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">eventually broke them down. The peer pressure got to them. Even today, several weeks after the mask mandate was lifted in my state, probably two-thirds of people still voluntarily wear masks. They\u2019re a fashion statement, after all, found on the end-shelves of every aisle of every store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The lesson here, as I see it, is this:\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">do not give in to hope.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There isn\u2019t time.

Fall on your sword for your friends and family if you wish. But you are almost certainly doomed to get sucked into the same black hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Reset button has been pushed, hell on earth has been unleashed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And no one can un-push the button.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even if they are aware of the scam, most people think they\u2019ll say \u201cno\u201d and carry on with their lives. Those people have not been paying attention to what globalists have been saying for many decades now, much less this last year. (Follow the World Economic Forum\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tweets<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and you can predict the future \u2013 they have that kind of control). Their words are now a reality \u2013 here, now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We had one final chance to stop it last year.

We must create our own Reset. The old world,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/getting-back-to-normal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that old life we knew<\/a>, is gone. It\u2019s been stolen from us. We miss the opportunity to \u201cbuild back better\u201d in our own lives if we cling to that which is dead and gone. If we are steadfast and resist the globalist reset, we must understand our actions\u2019 consequences if we are ready to die on that hill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Those who refuse and resist face two choices: be forced off-grid when the new currency becomes unavailable because we will need vaccines to work, bank, and shop. You will not be able to pay your mortgage and will lose your home. Not all of us are lucky in our family and friends. Especially post-Reset, when they may be facing the same struggles you are, or, worse, buy into the Reset and disavow you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Or we unplug from the technocratic slave matrix on our terms. I don\u2019t know about you, but being at the mercy of others is not a place I want to be, and so obviously, I have chosen the latter.
