Is Our World Run Like a Mafia? So What Do We Do?
Story at-a-glance
- The Great Reset is an open demonstration of the power dynamic that many of our ancestors have been dealing with for centuries on end
- For a while, we, the citizens of the developed countries, have been lucky since the economic model that was useful to the most powerful individuals in the world was also working for us — but not anymore!
- Today, the self-appointed mafia bosses are dismantling their old “production lines” — as well as our expectations of what it means to be free — so that they can “build back better” at our expense

In the aforementioned play, “Shadowlands“, there is another quote that many now reading this may also find relevant to our times:
….pain is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world. Why must it be pain? Why can’t he rouse us more gently, with violins or laughter? Because the dream from which we must be wakened, is the dream that all is well.
