5. Bank Bail-Ins: You Will Have Nothing and Be Happy

Remember the 2008 to 2009 economic crisis? Banks collapsed, or were on the brink of collapse. To prevent a global catastrophe, the Federal government bailed most of them out—and it cost us taxpayers a lot of money.

We’re used to the government swooping in and giving money to banks and other businesses in order to keep them afloat.

The opposite of the government bailout is the bail-in. 

A bail-in is when banks use depositors’ funds—your money in the bank—to save themselves.

At a recent FDIC meeting, it was clear that they know bail-ins are coming, but they don’t want the public to know. Find out more below.

4. Protect Your Seeds. Lawmakers Are Coming for Them.

You may be surprised to learn that seed sharing is illegal in many states, such as Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania.

If seed sharing isn’t illegal in your state, there’s a possibility that you are required by law to have a permit to share seeds.

More than two dozen state legislatures have passed “seed-preemption laws” designed to block counties and cities from adopting their own rules on the use of seeds, including bans on GMOs.

These laws have existed for years, and we are just now beginning to see new regulations put in place. What are the rules in your state?

In this increasingly tech- and AI-dominated world, we cannot ignore the high probability of cyberattacks increasing. All it takes is one significant enough to send us into darkness.

2. BRICS: Resetting the New World Order and the Global Financial System

While the U.S. dollar has been the king of currency for several decades—and used as the primary currency for global trade and investments—there was a major push in 2023 from other nations, including allies to the United States, for de-dollarization.

BRICS is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This collective of different nations aims to create a new currency that can be used for trading, which would mean not being forced to trade using the U.S. dollar.

The U.S. dollar is the world’s longest fiat currency, but it may not be for much longer.

For decades, we’ve been able to use the U.S. dollar for trading to hold power over other nations. That power is in danger.
