" Stuart Chase, a key advisor to former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, envisioned an early version of the Great Reset in the 1930s and 1940s,
complete with calls for government "control of energy sources—hydroelectric power, coal, petroleum, natural gas.
; The control of transportation—railway, highway, airway, waterway; and the control of agricultural production."
Chase loved the idea of managing all aspects of society. He asked at the end of his 1932 book, A New Deal, “Why should the Soviets have all the fun remaking the world?”
Chase's lust for Soviet ideology could be updated to 2022 by replacing the "Soviets" for "China". "
"The continuing fallout from COVID lockdown policies — from the economic collapse to the supply chain issues, to energy, transportation, and food shortages
— is reigniting calls and prompting the nationalization of industries in Europe, the U.S, Canada, and Australia.
the world has descended into chaos since the COVID lockdowns of March of 2020. “
”Once the inevitable societal chaos ensues, a huge coordinated push to promote nationalization or government takeover of the impacted industries ensues.
It is always claimed that the “free market” failed, and now only government can come in and clean up the mess.
The advocates of nationalization usually bill it as a “temporary” nationalization of the industries, much like “15 days to slow the spread”
or “2 weeks to flatten the curve” were billed as temporary measures.
See: Salon mag in 2022 noted “the long American history of taking over industries during a time of national crisis”
and claimed that “temporary nationalization helped get America through the crisis” of World War II. “
“ Chase’s vision of the world sounded an awful lot like the WEF’s Great Reset.
In his 1942 book When the War Ends, Chase outlined the key components of transforming “Free Enterprise into ‘X’”:
A strong, centralized government.
An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arms. . . .
The control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government. . . .
The abandonment of gold in favor of managed currencies. . . .
The control of energy sources—hydroelectric power, coal, petroleum, natural gas.
The control of transportation—railway, highway, airway, waterway.
The control of agricultural production. . . .
Not much “taking over” of property or industries in the old socialistic sense. The formula appears to be control without ownership . . .
The state control of communications and propaganda.
(My Comment) : Sound familiar ?
Mind you, most of these recent crises are all man-made, or created artificially by institutional government.
The entire article is well worth a read, as it will inform you as to what to look for, and determine if you agree, or disagree to the coming proposed changes.
Ignorance to what may be coming, is a choice !
The perennially uninformed will be sold yhe bill of goods that this was s failure of capitalism. They will be promised “more” with the implementation of socialist policies.
