WEF: “You will own nothing and be happy” – Whitney Webb reveals how this is currently being implemented
The financialization of the world – a new chapter
In an interview with Glenn Beck on October 11, 2025, investigative journalist Whitney Webb warned of one of the most dangerous developments of our time: the tokenization of the natural world.

“Larry Fink now heads the World Economic Forum,” Webb said, “and his agenda is clear: Everything will be tokenized. Every tree, every lake, every hectare of rainforest will be transformed into a digital security – tradable, divisible, speculative.”
What Webb describes is nothing less than the change of the Earth into a database – a “universal digital ledger” in which every object, every living being, every resource receives a digital identification number.
The new capitalism: possession without possessing
Under the guise of “sustainability” and “innovation,” a global movement is forming, led by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and supported by political heavyweights such as Mark Carney, the former central banker and current Prime Minister of Canada.
Their goal: “Tokenization of Everything” – the conversion of everything that exists into digital shares that can be traded via blockchains.
Webb describes this as the practical expression of the famous WEF motto: “You will own nothing and be happy.”
While the general public is being expropriated, a small elite is supposed to own everything – even what was previously considered common property:
- Rivers and lakes
- Seas and forests
- Atmospheric resources
- Even biodiversity and landscape conservation areas
The project: Nature as an asset class
The attempt to turn nature into a tradable commodity didn’t just begin now. In 2022, the Biden administration, through the U.S. Department of the Interior, promoted so-called “Natural Asset Corporations” that would convert ecological assets such as carbon sinks, water, or soil fertility into tradable financial products.
A central role in this is played by the Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) – an organization supported by the New York Stock Exchange and the Rockefeller Foundation that describes nature as an “untapped asset class.”
Their goal: to increase the financial market fivefold by breaking nature into digital tokens.
The Amazon example: Blockchain over the rainforest
One of the architects of this plan is Peter Knez, co-developer of the ETF structure that made BlackRock the world’s largest fund platform with “iShares”.
Knez is working on the idea of dividing the Amazon rainforest into digital tokens – each hectare a token, provided with a blockchain ID and monitored by drones.
These tokens would be sold to investors and traded like cryptocurrencies. The result would be a completely financialized world, in which every piece of land would become part of a global speculative system.
Surveillance as a by-product
For this new market to function, nature needs to be digitally recorded, monitored and evaluated.
That means:
- Drones and sensors in rainforests
- Satellite-based monitoring of ecosystems
- Real-time data collection for investors and regulators
What is sold as “protection of nature” is in reality a surveillance system for the planet – and therefore also for the people who live on it.
The ideology behind it
Webb emphasizes: This is no coincidence, but the logical continuation of a financial system that is always looking for new markets.
After human beings themselves have increasingly become commodities – through data, DNA, and health information – nature is now following suit. Global capitalism is reinventing itself: no longer through production, but through the monetization of what exists.
Everything that exists should have a price.
The technocratic matrix
This development fits seamlessly into the technocratic agenda promoted under the WEF slogan “The Great Reset” or the deleted video titled: “You will own nothing and be happy.”
The tokenization of nature is their next step:
- Digital IDs for people and objects
- Blockchain-based proof of ownership and access
- Smart contracts that automatically regulate ownership, use and behaviour
This creates a world in which ownership and control are no longer managed physically, but digitally – and centrally.
Conclusion: When speculation becomes religion
Whitney Webb sums it up:
“These people want to own elements no one has ever owned before – the air, the water, life itself. They want to pull everything into the financial system to speculate on it. This is completely insane.”
But “insane” is not all. What’s emerging here is a new form of digital feudalism, in which a few corporations and investment funds not only control capital, but also the right to exist.
If everything is tokenized, who controls the tokens?
And what will remain of life if even nature becomes a financial product controlled by the few ultra-rich?
