The Great Taking: Global Looting of Humanity Imminent?

Alex Newman

AT A GLANCE

• Ownership of securities has been diluted by changes in contract law.

• In the event of insolvency of any broker, custodian, or clearing structure holding securities owned by the public, creditors — not their actual owners — will be given first dibs on those securities.

• In the event of financial systemic failure, bailing out government-backed megabanks will take priority over individual retirement funds.

• The “Great Taking” will be as much a political event as a financial one, and will lead to serfdom for those who have been taken.

When the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) predicted in 2015 that “you will own nothing and be happy” by 2030, people worldwide recoiled in horror at the thought, but almost nobody understood the mechanism by which it might take place. Now, thanks to brave whistleblowers and attorneys, the plan to seize virtually everything is plain to see. The real question at this point is: Can it be stopped before it’s too late?

If the WEF’s Great Reset is the marketing campaign for global “transformation,” what retired investment banker David Webb calls the “Great Taking” is the legal and financial machinery designed to make the transformation unavoidable. The plan involves ending private-property rights in securities — stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments — to allow megabanks allied with governments to take everything when the next crisis hits.

In essence, you no longer own your securities; the deed has already been done. The stocks and bonds in your retirement and investment accounts might seem like they are yours. But thanks to little-noticed changes in state laws going back decades, they actually are not. And when a major economic and financial cataclysm strikes, the Deep State establishment and the governments and megabanks it controls will take everything from you.
