Covid-19 is a Consolidation of Power – The Destruction of Small Businesses - Arrogant and overpaid politicians have spent the last year arbitrarily determining who is essential and who is supposedly not. In practice, this has meant that countless small and medium-sized businesses have been punished, whereas large, multinational corporations have been allowed to make millions. The impact of Covid lockdowns on small and medium-sized businesses has been well studied. After the first round of lockdowns last year, a report released by the International Trade Centre (ITC) found that nearly two-thirds of small and micro businesses from 132 countries said they were “strongly affected” by lockdowns, with around 20% of firms saying they were close to shutting down permanently.

Furthermore, a survey conducted in October of 2020 found that around 6m small businesses were financially struggling due to the lockdowns, with this situation threatening over 16m jobs. In the US, a report from last year estimated that nearly 100,000 businesses had permanently closed since the start of the pandemic. The news is not all bad on the small business front however. There have been many instances where small business owners have simply refused to comply with government dictates. In Italy, some restaurant owners have opened their restaurants for dinner service despite government restrictions in acts of peaceful civil disobedience. Owners have been using the hashtag “#IoApro” (I Open) on social media to spread the word. In San Diego, some business owners opened despite the restrictions, saying that they were simply “trying to survive.” Sources: Reuters Staff (22 June, 2020) Small, medium businesses feel brunt of lockdown pain: survey Small, medium businesses feel brunt of lockdown pain: survey | Reuters Rebecca Smithers (26 October, 2020) Covid leaves 6m UK small businesses and 16m jobs in 'precarious position,' The Guardian Covid leaves 6m UK small businesses and 16m jobs in 'precarious position' | Small business | The Guardian Lily Canter (23 Sep. 2020) COVID-19 could cost small businesses up to £69bn, Yahoo Finance The average UK small business has lost almost £12,000 due to COVID-19 (yahoo.com) Anne Sraders & Lance Lambert (28 Sep. 2020) Nearly 100,000 establishments that temporarily shut down due to the pandemic are now out of business, Fortune COVID business: Nearly 100,000 establishments that temporarily shutdown are now out of business | Fortune NBC San Diego (9 Dec. 2020) ‘It's Called Freedom': Small Businesses Openly Defy State Shutdown Orders https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/coronavirus/its-called-freedom-small-businesses-openly-defy-state-shutdown-orders/2465627/ Luke Hurst, AP (16 Jan, 2020) ‘This is civil disobedience’: Restaurants in Rome defy coronavirus closures ‘This is civil disobedience’: Restaurants in Rome defy coronavirus closures | Euronews RT (16 Jan. 2020) As officials talk of tighter lockdown, Italian restaurants open their doors in protest (VIDEOS) As officials talk of tighter lockdown, Italian restaurants open their doors in protest (VIDEOS) — RT World News BBC News (30 July, 2020) Amazon, Facebook and Apple thriving in lockdown Amazon, Facebook and Apple thriving in lockdown - BBC News Business Standard (21 April, 2020) YouTube sees surge in subscriber base, views due to Covid-19 lockdown YouTube sees surge in subscriber base, views due to Covid-19 lockdown | Business Standard News (business-standard.com) Mark Bergen & Emily Chang (13 April, 2020) YouTube Sees 75% Jump in News Views on Thirst for Virus Updates, Bloomberg YouTube Sees 75% Jump in News Views on Thirst for Virus Updates - Bloomberg Simon Read (7 Oct. 2020) Billionaires see fortunes rise by 27% during the pandemic, BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54446285

2010 Rockefeller Lock Step Report Predicted Lockdowns, Face Masks, Biometric IDs, & Citizen Pushback - Lockdowns, face masks, travel restrictions, anti-human social distancing, and propaganda in regards to the introduction of fascist vaccine passports, have unfortunately become part of daily life for most of us. The imposition of an overtly fascist system in response to a pandemic is no accident however, and, in fact, it was a scenario predicted by the establishment over a decade ago.

The report looked at future trends in relation to technology and globalization, and it contained a scenario called Lock Step, which envisaged a “world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback,” in response to a pandemic. In this Lock Step scenario, a 2012 global pandemic transformed the world, leading to international trade and travel being halted, shops and offices closing, and global supply chains breaking (p.18). The report stated that leaders around the world used the pandemic to impose tighter control over their populations, imposing mandatory face mask laws for instance. The report stated that: “During the pandemic, national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified” (p.19). The Chinese response was praised in Lock Step, with the report adding that China recovered from the pandemic quicker than other countries, which is interesting as there are parallels to what has happened in relation to Covid...

The UN Agenda 21 Plan that Called for De Facto Global Travel Restrictions in 1992 Please Donate Now through PayPal by visiting https://insighthistory.com/support and clicking the “Donate Now” button in your preferred currency, which will take you to PayPal.com. Thank you. In a 1992 global declaration, the United Nations (UN) called for de facto global travel restrictions, all in the name of saving the planet. At the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), that took place in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, 178 governments from around the world signed a comprehensive global action plan called Agenda 21. In essence, Agenda 21 is a global agenda drafted by the UN that serves as a blueprint for the entire 21st century. Today, I will concentrate on one aspect of the plan: the UN agenda to restrict motorized travel. The UN has been consistent on this message over the years. A 2016 report from the UN Environment Programme advises governments to promote and invest in forms of non-motorized transport, particularly promoting walking and cycling as sustainable alternatives to private cars. The slogan that was often used by UN officials in this campaign was “put people, not cars, first,” with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) advising all countries to invest around 20 percent of their transport budgets in cycling and walking infrastructure. At a national level, various countries around the world have passed legislation that restricts, or will restrict, the private car sector. In line with UN wishes, both Britain and France have passed laws that will ban the sale of diesel and petrol cars by 2040, with Britain planning on bringing the ban forward to 2035. Environmental groups have also called on London to have no private cars on the road by 2030, with Transport for London announcing that they are investing £2.3 billion in an attempt to make walking, cycling or trips on public transport account for 80% of journeys by 2041. In view of Agenda 21, does any of these steps sound familiar? Obviously, the promotion of walking and cycling over using private cars is one way to severely restrict the ability of a person to travel.

Liberty! Why Bitcoin is One of the Most Revolutionary Technologies Ever Created – A Guide to Freedom… Central bankers hate Bitcoin. For example, Christine Lagarde, the European Central Bank (ECB) President and former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), who was convicted of negligence in France back in 2018 after allowing a businessman to be paid €400 million in public funds, recently called for bad Bitcoin to be regulated globally.

The real reason why central bankers hate Bitcoin is because it is a genius form of money that exists outside of their system of centralized financial control. For this fundamental reason alone, Bitcoin is one of the most revolutionary and empowering technologies in the history of human civilization. Bitcoin promotes freedom and individual sovereignty, allowing people to control their money whilst reducing the need for third parties. It is one of the few times in history that a system of money has been created that is not issued and controlled by a government or a central bank. Furthermore, it is probably the only system of workable money ever created that is decentralized and not privately controlled, as some private institutions have issued bank notes in the past. There is no CEO of Bitcoin, no company address, no helpline, no office – no centralized authority that can arbitrarily change the rules of the game. Essentially, Bitcoin is owned and controlled by those who buy and use it, governed only by its protocol.
