Who’s Looting Who?
The murder of George Floyd has revealed a breach in our "Social Contract." What is happening right now has been happening every day for more than 350 years. We just keep turning a blind eye. When are we going to wake up to the real looting going on? Massive bailouts...
The Next “New Normal”
What if the world stopped turning? What if everything just stopped? We're now as close as we'll ever get to an answer to that question. We are experiencing a grand pause. A huge reset button has been pushed. Even our enslavement is on pause. For a brief moment in...
