One of the smallest brains you will ever see in this world is the brain of a spider, but it doesn’t take a big brain to be a big con — and to trick your prey into thinking that they are safe using something that you built or provide. A sucker is born every minute.
Enter the trapdoor spider
A trapdoor spider digs a hole and then builds a trap door at the top, just like a man-hole cover of a sewer way. Then, when an unsuspecting victim (like a cricket) comes along and walks on or near the trap-door, the spider lunges out and grabs the prey:
The trapdoor spider works like a con-man, luring you in with the illusion of safety. With the trapdoor in place, everything looks safe and secure and, as a cricket, you may be thinking to yourself:
“Everything is fine. It is perfectly safe for me to be walking here. Yeah, sure, there’s this weird disk laying on the ground over there, but it is made of silk, and silk can’t hurt you.”
The Human Variant
Humans can also act like the predators of the wild, tricking potential victims. The Great Reset appears, at least on the surface, to be one big con job where the entire human population is “the sucker.”
A possible example of an aspect of this purported con-job is the 15-Minute City.
In the Australian ABC Radio National podcast called Blueprint For Living, “Vancouver's former chief planner Brent Toderian” said that 15-minute cities take us back to the days of old when “you didn't have to get into a car for everything” and how such a planned city “promotes individual affordability and household affordability because you don't need to own the second car or maybe even the third car."
But if those points are to be believed, then the presumption must be that people buy too many cars, so that the 15-minute cities can be seen as a solution or remedy to an underlying “over-purchasing” of cars by people.
The Con
Another way to view those statements is as a cover-up for the fact that the corporate fascism perniciously championed by WEF elites keeps people poor, so that they can’t buy cars.
If you’d like to stay rich by limiting the freedom of others, moving away from free enterprise and toward corporate fascism, then tricking them can help you get away with it.
Which interpretation is true? In other words, do we buy more cars now or less? If we buy more cars now, it means that promoters of 15-minute cities might be honest brokers.
But if we buy less cars now, and they pretend that we’re in this terrible situation where people “over-purchase” cars, then they are just con-men running cover for corporate fascism to trick the masses into not having grievances about not being able to get ahead in life (because of the fascism).
Here is evidence in the trend in car buying, at least in the USA:
This graph shows the number of cars bought per month for every 100 persons of driving age or older (16 or older) — from 1976 to 2023. In April of 1997 a milestone was crossed, and the USA had its first month when less than 4 cars were sold per 100 persons of driving age.
Things went downhill shortly after that. Here is the same graph with notes in it:
The evidence suggests that the “15-minute cities” are a con-job meant to cover-up the fact that fascism makes nations poor (while a few elites enrich themselves).
Here is another piece of evidence — using hours worked versus potentially-employable US adults — that recent corporate fascism (as exemplified by “public-private partnerships”) has been destroying opportunity in the USA for at least 23 years now:
The solution, as always, is free enterprise, but people need to demand it from their politicians. The last few years show us that elites will progressively make life worse for the masses, unless freedoms such as broad economic freedoms are fought for by a significant minority of concerned citizens.
The solution starts young in school. None of us were taught this in public school. So few question it even now. Get the kids out of state indoctrination centres!
