Welcome to 2030: I Own Land, Live Among Like Minded People, and Life Has Never Been Better
by Derrick Broze
It’s time for the people to envision what our 2030 will look like.
On Friday November 11th, 2016, the World Economic Forum and Forbes magazine published a short essay titled “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better”. Written by Ida Auken, Denmark’s former Minister for the Environment imagines what life might be like in 2030.
The year 2030 was chosen because of its importance to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked objectives adopted by the United Nations in 2015 with the ostensible goal of ending poverty, protecting the planet, and spreading peace and prosperity to all people by 2030. Their actions, however, regularly belie their stated intentions.
The SDGs were part of a larger resolution known as the 2030 Agenda, or Agenda 2030, with the stated purpose of fighting climate change. While the United Nations SDGs and Agenda 2030 are often touted as a tool for establishing healthy multilateral relationships between nations, in truth, they are based in a deeper agenda to monitor, control, and direct all life on the planet.
Here’s How the WEF Wants to Achieve This: The Great Reset Will Render All Products As Services, to Implement ‘You Will Own Nothing’ by 2030.
Although the essay is nearly 6 years old, most people have become aware of it — and the phrase “You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy” — since the World Economic Forum announced The Great Reset agenda in June 2020. Over the last 2 years, countless researchers, podcasters, and journalists have shared their concerns with the public in an attempt to avert the world described by Ida Auken.
The efforts to reach the masses appear to have been successful to some degree based on the corporate media attempting to fact check the story, Ida Auken releasing a statement in response to the public concerns, and the WEF taking the essay down from their website. In Auken’s 2020 statement she says:
“Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading – for better and for worse. I wrote this piece to start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development. When we are dealing with the future, it is not enough to work with reports. We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.”
Interestingly enough, Ida Auken is listed as an “Agenda Contributor” for the WEF and was the first Danish politician chosen for the Young Global Leaders Program. Auken has also released 3 other blogs (1, 2, 3) imagining the world of 2030. Upon reading these 4 essays you come away with the understanding that some of what Auken and the WEF describes actually sounds beneficial. After all, who wouldn’t want a more walkable and bikeable town or city? Who doesn’t appreciate more trails and trees?
Of course, when you get past the buzzwords and promises of utopia you recognize that the world of 2030 described by Auken and the WEF is a world where Technocrats centrally plan every aspect of society. It is a world with no privacy, no personal property ownership, with compulsory digital IDs, digital currencies, and social credit scores. In short, you will own nothing and be happy.
Auken makes these points clear in her 2016 essay when she notes that “everything you considered a product, has now become a service”, or “in our city we don’t pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there”. She also notes that shopping has turned into “choosing things to use” and that sometimes she lets “the algorithm” do it for her because “it knows my taste better than I do by now”.
Finally, Auken laments the people “who do not live in our city, those we lost on the way”, referring to the people who opted out of the Smart Cities and social credit scores to exit the cities and build “self-supplying communities”. What Ms. Auken may fail to understand is that millions of people are choosing to exit the cities already, and build outside the digital dystopia planned for 2030. Even those who cannot or will not leave the cities are beginning to question what their future holds if they remain in the tightly controlled metroplexes.
While most readers likely do not agree with the vision put forth by the WEF, the UN, and their cartels, we cannot deny that these institutions are working night and day to achieve their 2030 Agenda. They are working with hundreds of multinational corporations, nearly every major world government, and spending trillions of dollars to manifest The Great Reset.
It’s time for the people to envision what our 2030 will look like. If we know we reject the new normal and the Great Reset, we must understand what exactly we are seeking to create. Will it be “You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy”? Or, perhaps, You Will Be Thriving and You Will Be Fulfilled. The answer completely depends on every single one of us. The future generations are depending on us to build an alternative to the Technocratic vision.
Here is one alternative vision of 2030. This is my simple attempt at outlining what 2030 could be like. I call it Liberation 2030 and I work everyday to help others see the importance of envisioning our future. Maybe your vision is slightly different. Whatever it is, write it down, see it in your mind, and do what you can to bring it to reality.
Let’s reject Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset, and let’s build The People’s Reset.
Welcome to 2030: I Own Land, Live Among Like Minded People, and Life Has Never Been Better
Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my home. I own a couple of acres in an intentional community just outside a major city. I live in an Earthship with my family and our pets.
Together we live amongst dozens of other families and individuals who decided to get out of the concrete jungle and head for greener pastures. Every family owns their own land and home. The founders of our community bought the land and began recruiting members in the late 2010’s as the surveillance grids become more obvious.
Our community has built our own homes, roads, a network of trails, and a community center where we host educational workshops to teach other communities how to become independent from the grid.
Speaking of the grid, some of our neighbors have been experimenting with “free energy” devices, while others are focused on solar, hydro, and wind power. We are determined to be energy independent, especially after some governments began disconnecting the unvaccinated from the electric grid in 2026.
Once food prices and inflation began to rise in 2022 we realized we needed to cut our dependence on the grocery stores. Most of the corporate stores require a digital ID to enter anyways and most of our community members have opted out of that system.
So now all of our homes are nestled within food forests producing fruits from around the world. The hundreds of trees we have planted the last few years shield our homes from the elements and allow for privacy.
As you walk down the pathways you also see many permaculture gardens producing veggies and herbs for cooking and medicine. Free range kids are running in every direction, laughing and playing in the sun.
The best part of our lives now is that we are not alone. In fact, we are one of thousands of communities which form an international network outside of the big cities and control grid.
Our community is surrounded by several other like-minded communities, each with their own governance models, traditions, and norms. We often trade goods and services with our local neighbors, and some communities have begun establishing long distance trade networks.
Thankfully, in the late 2010’s, a handful of forward thinking individuals began establishing local cells and circles, helping people network and find the community they were looking for. These groups laid the foundation for a People’s Reset which saw millions of people exiting from the grid and disobeying authoritarian mandates.
Those cells eventually morphed into intentional communities and ecovillages united by respect for self-ownership and bodily autonomy. Together they form a decentralized network of networks which gives the people an option outside of the smart cities.
I’ve even heard rumors that some of these communities help people escaping from the cities.
“They live different kinds of lives inside the city”
Sometimes I think about the people we left behind. The people who became consumed with the benefits and conveniences of technology and couldn’t see the dangers. The people who were propagandized to hate their neighbor if they belong to a different political party. Even worse, the people who knew what was coming but failed to act.
They live different kinds of lives inside the city. They are only allowed to go outside their apartments when the Climate Warning System is listed as green and when the Gates’ World Health Foundation says the Pandemic Threat Level is below a 70.
No one is allowed to drive a vehicle anymore or own land. You can’t rent an appliance without showing a digital ID card or scanning your retinas.
Actually, no one is even allowed in the city without being sanitized, scanned, tagged, and assigned a social credit rating which determines your class and access to public services.
We know there are labor camps and quarantine camps but they are hard to find because the ruling Democratic-Republican Alliance moves the prisoners often.
We pray everyday for our brothers and sisters in the city, and we work towards a day when all our people are free to join us in creating the lives of their dreams.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

I like to listen to German journalist Ernst Wolff, not sure if any of you have come across his videos. He was born in China, was raised in Germany and Korea and spent some time in the US as a college student on a soccer scholarship when he wrote articles against the Vietnam war and promptly got a letter from the FBI that he is not welcome in the US any more and has to leave the country within 2 weeks. He is now in his 70s.
He has recently pointed out that there are two things about human nature that make him hopeful that we can avert such a fate, and that their plans will never fully work: all human children are fundamentally curious and extraordinarily brave. They have to be, since most of the world around them is new to them and they need to venture out into the unknown every single day.
Human nature goes against the world they describe and envision. They might be able to subjugate some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time.
Ernst Wolff has also written a children’s book recently, inspired by his 7 year old granddaughter. It describes the story of the meerkat “Friedrich”, who lives in a zoo and pretty much has everything he needs, food, shelter etc. But then one day he realizes that he lives in a cage and what he does not have even with all of these amenities is freedom. He leaves the zoo and finds out how it is not all that easy out in the world, when you have to figure out for yourself how to find shelter and food. The book has an open ending, which encourages children and adults to discuss what they might like more and what to do.
“all human children are fundamentally curious and extraordinarily brave”
normalcy bias. the ones who think they’re humans and that we’re animals will put a stop to THAT, and any that they can’t stop will simply be eliminated.
I’m 75, have three young grandchildren and considerable contact with grown “children” (in their 40s) and their post-adolescent children. Few of them are “curious” and fewer “brave”. I wish it were otherwise, but I find myself convinced that it’s not. My own grandchildren were living here on my property until school began in March (Southern Hemisphere), so they had a three acre park and five adjacent wooded acres, so they’re adventurous and curious, but their little pals (town kids) needed a little attitude adjustment to the “wilds”. Good kids, though, but that’s often the case with rural kids and their pals from the nearby town.
Sorry to interrupt this kumbaya moment, but please tell me how you’re going to protect your utopia without guns? They are coming for them. The writing is on the wall. What then??
They’re coming for your guns, your livestock, your transportation, your land, your values and your liberty. Are you going to submit or grow a fucking spine?
So then, tell me how the above vision is going to work without a war?
Ok, I’ll politely ask Brandon to please stop encroaching on my inalienable rights. Or should I just vote harder next time?
You fucking idiot. I’m not talking about voting. Pay attention.
You go ahead and give up your guns and your property. I’m keeping mine. Or die trying.
It won’t work without a war. The only question is will we call it The Second American Revolution, or Civil War II.
It will actually be Civil war 3.
They can’t take something from you that you’ve already lost in a boating accident.
you don’t understand. you think you’re going to have rights? if you’re not on their white list of “those who we control”, they won’t care what you have or have lost, they’ll just eliminate you.
I like the idea of likeminded people living close by and helping each other out but he left out an important detail. Are they paying property taxes in that scenario? I’m willing to bet that they are in which case they really don’t own that land.
Several details were left out. It’s how you sell a vision.
Makes sense to me.
And, property taxes? I live in a deep red rural area and my taxes have increased by 30% in ONE year…and it will just get worse.
Tell me what will happen if I (or my neighbors) can’t afford the taxes anymore. Who gets our properties then??
Does that mean we’ll have to move somewhere where we can’t have guns?
1. They won’t be able to take the guns.
Do you really believe that? Any examples where a government tried to disarm their citizens and were NOT successful?
My taxes increased 40% in a rural Republican county of idiots who never refused a bankster initiated bond issue, ever and now the bills are coming due. Fuck the GOP .
They will seize your property thru *cough*legal means as AA stated. Thru taxation. When you cannot pay your
renttaxes then you’ll be defaulted and the ‘law’ will come remove you from said property.They won’t do this everywhere all at once but little by little, they’ll chip away so as to not initiate a full scale rebellion… Isolated, and the only report will be the media spin stating a wing nut nazi was killed today while being served with an eviction notice by three swat teams.
So they’ll be chipping away at us one by one. Just a thought experiment, how hard would it be to chip away swat one at a time?
not swat. drones, mortars, low collateral damage bombs, that sort of thing.
Little history lesson. That was a good deal of why the American Revolution started. Taxes. This whole revolution process takes time. Just do not bend. Their will be others who do not not bend either and that’s when it turns into something.
Delusional, Creeker.
So what was the revolutionary war about then, please humor me.
I am exempt from property tax, but farm property tax is already very low in Arkansas.
“Because they were in a ‘rural’ colony quite distant from the seat of British power, and had a fully operational ‘parallel economy and community system’.”
of 3 millions of people who had spent centuries rising up the level of independent 18th century agriculture and building their own independent industries and their own independent trade with the rest of the world. do you really mean to compare that to a few small towns with a few small farms just starting out? opposed by a highly-supplied and connected government that is in the same country with them?
you have a great theoretical concept, but reality is going to eat its lunch.
Whom wasn’t successful? Revolutionary War ring a bell?
Sorry anon, it’s not 1776 anymore. That’s not going to happen again because of this:
Social media
Liberated women
Destruction of Traditionalism
Soy
use of psycho-pharmaceuticals
low quality food
terrible quality meat
demonization of White Males
etc.
People are domesticated animals now. As such, they act in a herd and display herd behaviors, which means that they only move as a herd under the direction of an alpha male. There are fewer and fewer alpha males, and the influence of social media has taken the place of alpha males for most women and low T men. That was the entire point of bots, likes, and the algorithms of social media to steer the herd.
Hey, when I see brilliant thoughts I like sharing them with others. 🙂
Ok, Archie, I agree with you. I have just seen too many people cave over the last couple of years over the EASY decisions. Choosing to fight for your property or guns is much harder. I don’t have a lot of faith in humanity to stay strong. But it doesn’t mean I disagree with you. Anyone on the path of self-sufficiency is doing the right thing.
Sorry! didn’t see that you responded…in detail!
The American Revolution.
If you’re willing to accept the surveillance, biometric and social credit system that will be required for use of the digital ID and currency; then what’s the point?
If you’re not willing; then you’re going to be unable to pay property taxes because the state won’t agree to be paid in apples & chicken eggs.
“all the intrinsically necessary things for life will still be available”
if you don’t mind a semi-nomadic subsistence level of life. half your kids will run for the city first chance they get.
Happily, I live in a country in which your primary home and the property on which it stands cannot be seized for non-payment of taxes. I OWN my home and even if a lien is placed on it, if my son makes it his primary residence, it cannot be seized. The same goes for future descendents.
Which country?
Is it constitutional or something the government could easily change with legislation?
TIA.
The fallacy of this story is the belief that TPTB will leave the independent-minded people alone.
Outliers will be cut off from the power grid, from all hydrocarbon products (oil, gas, diesel, etc.) and will be cut off from all other goods and services.
Punitive taxation will be used to starve out resistance.
Can we survive that?
If we can, then we’ll get to deal with chemical/biological attacks and airstrikes. That cartel army in the south? Get ready to meet them up close and personal. Then there will be the army of muslims to contend with.
Anyone who thinks they’ll be left alone has not been paying attention to this game.
There will be no buying or selling of anything unless you bow to this system.
Exactly. We spent 8 years in Nam learning how to remove pockets of resisters in remote areas. We then perfected them in Africa and the middle east. Drone delivered pathogens, roundup on the surrounding area to prevent growing food and removing cover. Or to send a message they may prefer fuel-air bombs or napalm. Nothing like napalm at 100 yards to make one think. All this in addition to the brown hordes you mentioned.
This all takes massive energy, personnel and resources. How much longer do you believe the beast can continue to finance these endeavors by printing currency out of thin air?
“how much longer”
as long as a majority of the population prefers living in a semi-prison with food and shelter, as opposed to living like a bandit on the run.
See Rant 7 at 2:26. Because of this God will intervene to spare the last remnants of fullbood
humanity.
I am not saying to lay down and submit. I’m saying what we are doing Ain’t woikin.
We need to be building our faith first and foremost. Then strengthen your family as best you can and find a tribe you can participate with in resisting smarter. By smarter I mean Pray like heck for wisdom and courage to finish the race and ideas and methods will be given to you from places you probably never thought of looking.
I hear and read all sorts of ways to evade or avoid big brother but rarely any mention of God first. We are treating this like a secular problem or issue when in fact it’s all spiritual and always has been. I can’t tell you how to believe or who to believe in, that’s Gods territory. I can tell you you are a fool not to seek Him and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.
You also have the choice of following Annie off a cliff in bum screw Chile while searching for your brothers keeper.
“it’s all spiritual and always has been””
repeated for emphasis.
Anon.. I’ll approach this from a different angle.
The purpose of refugee camps is not to benevolently house and feed women, children and seniors. It’s to hold in captivity the families and progeny of the alpha male fighting men in the country or territory under attack.
During the Second Anglo-Boer War which lasted from 1899–1902, the British operated concentration camps in South Africa: the term “concentration camp” grew in prominence during that period. The camps had originally been set up by the British Army as refugee camps in order to provide refuge for civilian families who had been forced to abandon their homes for any reason which was related to the war. However, when General The 1st Baron Kitchener of Khartoum, as he then was, took command of the British forces in late 1900, he introduced new tactics in an attempt to break the guerrilla campaign and the influx of civilians grew dramatically as a result. An epidemic of measles killed thousands.[1] According to historian Thomas Pakenham, Lord Kitchener initiated plans to flush out guerrillas in a series of systematic drives, organised like a sporting shoot, with success defined by a weekly ‘bag’ of killed, captured and wounded, and sweep the country bare of everything that could give sustenance to the guerrillas, including women and children … It was the clearance of civilians—uprooting a whole nation—that would come to dominate the last phase of the war.[2][clarification needed]
Lizzie van Zyl, a Boer child, visited by Emily Hobhouse in a British concentration camp
As Boer farms were destroyed by the British under their “Scorched Earth” policy—including the systematic destruction of crops and the slaughtering or removal of livestock, the burning down of homesteads and farms—to prevent the Boers from resupplying themselves from a home base, many tens of thousands of men, women and children were forcibly moved into the camps.[3][4] This was not the first appearance of internment camps, as the Spanish had used internment in Cuba in the Ten Years’ War, but the Boer War concentration camp system was the first time that a whole nation had been systematically targeted, and the first in which some whole regions had been depopulated.[3]
Eventually, there were a total of 45 tented camps which were built for Boer internees and 64 additional camps which were built for black Africans. Of the 28,000 Boer men who were captured as prisoners of war, 25,630 were sent overseas. The vast majority of Boers who remained in the local camps were women and children. Over 26,000 women and children perished in these concentration camps.[5]

thank you. never to be forgotten.
And don’t forget the “They are not like us” low-IQ masses will be free to assault and abuse those “outsiders” as they will have no rights at all.
The idea that TOTALitarians will settle for anything less than TOTAL control is childish.
Comply or die. Their New Normal once they Build Back Better. Pretty much there already.
“comply or die”
the third option, of course, is to apply the same choice to THEM.
“There will be no buying or selling of anything unless you bow to this system”
the only way to win is to recapture the system. it is OURS, after all.
The ‘controlled opposition’ will likely not be tolerated … if ‘they’ allowed it to exist, it would forever be the chink in their armor that would be subject to intrusion … and, eventually, their defeat …
of course. standard boolshevik playbook. feed and excite all the perverts and anarchists until they’ve overwhelmed and consumed the target nation, then seize control and immediately. shoot all of the perverts and anarchists. how it’s done.
I appreciate your perspective and efforts, but I imagine at least several of the people in your community are still paying loan fees for the land they’ve bought, and taxes on that land as well. If you stop paying those, then someone will come to repossess the land. Being that you’re ‘just outside a major city’, and you have provided food and energy in ways that work around the common systems, if those systems fail you will be an immediate target for repossession of your property, if not by government thugs then by those of a different stripe. I wish your community the best, but even your efforts may prove tenuous in the years ahead.
Like the end of Runaway Train, they only let you be free in death.
THESE PEOPLE OWNED LAND TOO. AND LIFE WAS GREAT ….
…. IT WAS GREAT UNTIL THESE PEOPLE TOOK IT!
Exactly.
Was it?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25244027-trade-your-furs-or-die
it wasn’t always coercion by the white man. many an indian squaw would abuse her husband demanding that he trade for an iron pot for her.
The indians lost, but at least they put up a fight.
Plenty of Americans are going to fight.
And we will go the same way as the Injuns.
So be it.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Exactly.
I used to dream of my retirement, and doing a bit of camping, I’m frankly terrified of the future.
think of it as an opportunity to live in interesting times. and to do something interesting.
Sustainable community is a raciss dog whistle. Where’s the diversity?
none. that’s why it’s sustainable.
Welcome to the year 2022. Welcome to my home. I own a 100 acres in a rural “community” hundreds of miles outside a major city. I live in a rural homestead with my family and our pets as well as other animals we eat.
There I fixed it
The less a community is like a Kibbuz, the less it can be infiltrated by unfriendlies or outright eliminated by TPTB. Loosely organized but individually free to do as you please is best.
to defeat an organized opponent will require more than “loosely organized”.
Beg to differ. Try Afghanistan on for size.
we left afghanistan because we could not play by their rules. the other side has no such compunction – they simply will kill anything that isn’t them or theirs. read the book of joshua. that’s their users’ manual.
Sorry rock but they were very well organized. Very strict regimentation and discipline within each band held together by the glue of a strict sect of Islam. It was very simple but very well organized.
Pukeworthy BS. Mary Poppins in a new dress.
It’s great to have a clear vision and a plan A. One also needs a vision and a plan B. Envision how the peaceful, pastoral plan will be defended from predators not all of which come from the cities. No matter where one lives the neighbors are for the most part just local examples of fallen and depraved mortals doing what fallen and depraved mortals do best. Envision what you are willing to die for. I like the Swiss model based on the wise man whose name i’ve forgotten– “If you want peace; prepare for war”.
In the US we live under the illusion of freedom we are not !
We live under the illusion of property ownership we do not !
We rent our property from government !
Try not paying property tax , income tax and a maze and mix of other taxes that put the average working American in a 50% tax bracket !
To think our ancestors rebelled against the most powerful government and military in the world over a fraction of that !
We Are Doomed
You guys are too doomy for me today, just popped in for a snack but I’m going back to the garden to plant some more in the sunshine.
“Caretake this moment. Immerse yourself in its particulars. Respond to this person or that person, this challenge, this deed. Quit the evasions. Stop giving yourself needless trouble. It is time to really live; to fully inhabit the situation you happen to be in right now. You are not some disinterested bystander. Participate. Exert yourself.” — Epictetus
We’re making booze today. And spreading manure.
Good idea. I need to soil sample.
“Welcome to 2030: I Own Land, Live Among Like Minded People, and” …
… our property taxes have never been higher.
the federal government alone has “borrowed” $30 trillion in your name. they’re gonna come looking for it.
It is the start of an idea a movement, along with the the Homesteading (many younger people and more individual).
Why near. Cities ? For their real jobs and restaurants/entertainment maybe? Also I hate the term eco villages. In fact is so filled with catch words it’s probably another fake but once ideas take hold change can happen. (The masses, sustainable, yuck). Hey let’s see if they all wear masks nex time…
Whatever but beware of ‘For the common good’ as you’re back to conformity at that point. Can’t see the tree for the forest.
“beware of ‘For the common good’ as you’re back to conformity at that point”
civilization is always a balance between the individual and the community, it’s never all one or the other.
Don’t know how it works where you live, but here the county assesor sets the tax rate. Expect a visit sooner, rather than later. Gonna go Florida citrus farmer on ’em?
Last Tuesday I saw three boys out being “NORMAL”. As I peered out the window, I thought how long has it been since I have witnessed this sight? They were out of school due to election day.
Three boys maybe 10 y/o, plain tee shirts, plain shorts and regular tennis shoes riding regular old fashioned bikes WITHOUT bike helmets. A scene out of a 60’s sitcom, my heart soared that parents may be turning around. Three normal boys playing outside, cycling around the neighborhood ignoring the insanity of current norms and mandated psycho-safety.
I thought we would never see that again, strangely it gave me a glimmer of hope. Free range children exploring and enjoying a childhood…. it looked so NORMAL
The article speaks of free range children running and laughing, so sad that you rarely see that sight in today’s life.
C’mon people! It’s not as if the gummint would burn down your house with everybody, man woman and kids inside.
Very few people have such opportunity.
So now all of our homes are nestled within food forests producing fruits from around the world. The hundreds of trees we have planted the last few years shield our homes from the elements and allow for privacy.
How long do you think it would be before they sprayed weed killer or something worse from the air that would wipe all that out?
My guess would be just before harvest time.
