<\/p>\nAs the embers of 2024 spited out their dying sparks and tendrils of smoke corkscrew into 2025: what were the important news stories of the past year?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most people will say something international. The war in Ukraine, the atrocities in Gaza, the fall of Assad.<\/p>\n
Maybe some will cite elections, it was a big year for voting after all. A global shift in the corridors of power saw a dozen governments swapped out for new faces.<\/p>\n
The tech-inclined might talk about advancements in Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n
Those are the big stories of 2024. The banner headlines. Sound and fury and all that signifies. But were they the most important?<\/p>\n
No, the important story of 2024 was The Great Reset.<\/p>\n
Remember that? It is this pan-global supranational plan to tear down and then rebuild society in a \u201csustainable<\/em>\u201d, \u201cinclusive<\/em>\u201d, \u201cfair<\/em>\u201d and \u201csecure<\/em>\u201d way that would \u2013 totally accidentally \u2013 eradicate civil liberties and personal freedom for every single person on the planet.<\/p>\n It was all the rage a few years ago, you might remember. But when it didn\u2019t go over too well with a lot of people, the powers that be dropped the subject and there\u2019s been very little talk about it since 2022.<\/p>\n Does that mean it\u2019s gone away?<\/p>\n We need to have \u201cobject permanence\u201d in politics as in all aspects. Something doesn\u2019t cease to exist just because you can\u2019t see it anymore. The world doesn\u2019t vanish when you close your eyes.<\/p>\n The Great Reset is still the plan.<\/p>\n It\u2019s still going on. It\u2019s just distributed now. A compartmentalized strategy uploaded to the cloud, everywhere. A million nanobots working a million angles to change a million tiny rules and build a million tiny cells.<\/p>\n Stand the right distance back and you can see the pattern.<\/p>\n Recently, the UK\u2019s chief medical officer Chris Whitty published his annual health report. What does he recommend? Sin taxes on \u201cunhealthy<\/em>\u201d foods<\/a> and 15-minute cities. Labour have already increased \u201csin taxes\u201d<\/a> on sugar, salt, alcohol and tobacco. Next comes dairy and just \u201ccarbon\u201d in general<\/a>. Earlier the UK introduced licensing for keeping chickens<\/a>.<\/p>\n By 2035 it will be impossible to buy a new petrol car in the UK<\/a>. Or the EU<\/a>. Or Canada<\/a>. Or New Zealand<\/a>. Or Australia. Or Mexico<\/a>. Or South Africa<\/a>. Or California, and 11 other US states<\/a>.<\/p>\n From that point you and your car will be anchored to charging points. Even better, your new car will probably have automatic drive features, speed limiters<\/a> and remote kill switches<\/a>.<\/p>\n This winter, all of sudden, the news tells us that wood burning stoves cause cancer. A ban is already being discussed<\/a>. Since coal is already a no-no for domestic users (since 2023), there effectively goes your last chance of energy and heat independence. If they ban stoves there will be no heating available to you that can\u2019t be hooked up to a smart meter, surveilled, controlled.<\/p>\n Unless you count burning a candle inside a plant pot. And they\u2019re coming for those too<\/a>.<\/p>\n The much-publicised murder of Sara Sharif has already been parlayed into a new bill<\/a> taking away parents\u2019 \u201cautomatic right to homeschool their children<\/em>\u201d \u2013 if the state deems them \u201cvulnerable<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n Digital IDs are coming for everyone from everywhere. Here\u2019s just a selection of reasons:<\/p>\n The EU wants to establish an \u201casset register\u201d<\/a> and biometric tracking across borders. Online anonymity is being eroded with each \u201chate crime<\/em>\u201d attributed to \u201cdisinformation<\/em>\u201d and \u201chate speech<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n There is persistent and consistent talk of rationing \u2013 food and water<\/a> and travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ban it. Ration it. Monitor it. Control everyone\u2019s everything.<\/p>\n Can\u2019t you see the walls closing in?<\/p>\n These are not disparate issues; they are heads on a hydra. They form the universal silent agenda that is everywhere. They are bipartisan and cross-bench. They are the aspects unquestioned, sanctioned and approved by both \u201csides\u201d of every fake \u201cdivide\u201d.<\/p>\n The people at the apex of the pyramid spent two years talking about this. Telling you it was the plan and how great it was going to be.<\/p>\n Then, when it didn\u2019t take, they spent two more years pretending they never said it and distracting you with other aspects, like UFOs, Taylor Swift, ChatGPT, race-baiting.<\/p>\n They are building a prison around every single person on this planet while we argue about Hunter Biden and QAnon.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a laser pointer. It stops the cat from playing with the elements she shouldn\u2019t play with.<\/p>\n The silver lining of 2025, being as bad as many suspect it\u2019s going to be, is that it might force people to realise everything they\u2019ve forgotten since 2022. And the first step to fixing something is admitting there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n yogaesoteric <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the embers of 2024 spited out their dying sparks and tendrils of smoke corkscrew into 2025: what were the important news stories of the past year?
