Fundamentally, I think it's the horrific realization that the power elites of the world realize that the petro-dollar's inflation scheme isn't working and they haven't replaced it with a digital currency yet that will protect them. Therefore, "The Great Reset" is a way to manage the necessary genuine deflation of many international economies by the elites managing to benefit themselves and their individual racket-protected industries. This is also why Green Energy is pushing this idea that they can shut down all fossil fuel emissions by 2025 (which is utterly senile), and why the "Green New Deal" came with a Digital Currency proposal.

In fact, I'd argue that the lockdowns are actually a mass effort to keep monetary velocity low, and cause economic losses to be shifted to the general population and small businesses instead of the largest corporations. The deflation & price corrections have to occur, and rather than be destroyed by massive price shocks (the collapse of oil must have scared the absolute piss out of them) the major corporations are pushing the largest transfer of wealth in human history by making you take all the hit, while they take all the gains.

Had the world economy remained open, inflation would have skyrocketed from all the money printing, and the whole petro-dollar system could have collapsed on top of them. So instead, they are shutting down the world economy to buy time for themselves. Fundamentally changing the economy so that it's very structural base exists to benefit them and their racketed industries means that everyone else gets to lose homes, jobs, and businesses except them because they are "critical industries". The rampant authoritarianism is just an added bonus political actors and their own smaller pet projects.

We are in the Great Collapse I was talking about back in November of 2019. We're not out of it. Not by a long shot. The Fabian Socialist Corporatists are prepared to hold onto power at absolutely all costs, and they are siding with Communists & National Socialists to do it. (Classically) Liberal Populism is basically a giant road block because that is what is propping up Trump in the US. Trump is the absolute worst thing that could have happened at the absolute worst fucking time. That man is not going to manage a decline. He's going to open up the economy and he is absolutely right when he says that 2021 will break fucking records. It will appear to because the economy will open up, monetary velocity will increase, and inflation will spike. At that point, the music stops playing, and the petro-dollar dies. States begin to well and truly fucking burn, no one get's spared when the house of cards comes down.

In that moment, this fucking orange Cheeto reality TV star will have to be responsible for replacing the Petro-Dollar system. Orange Man... almost accidentally... stumbled into the most important moment in the fucking century. That is why the establishment is loosing it's god damned mind, and is prepared to sacrifice literally millions of lives and all human freedom to prevent it. Everything they currently control, the entire current Fabian order of the world, might rest on Orange Man. Fucking Clown Dimension.

I'm not saying Trump will put us back on the Gold Standard. But if Trump had the opportunity to mint literal US gold coins with his face on it, do you really think he wouldn't do it?

"I'm literally the most handsome person on all of the coins, although Sack-a guh-WEE-uh is pretty good too."

I expect some sort of a compromise. Probably some kind of weird, crypto-digital-bullion combination. But that would be more than enough to kill the entire Fabian system. I know it's only been 20 years, but it's entirely possible that Donald Trump is the most influential man in the century.
