6 THE BiG DROP
tral bankers, finance ministers and the ultra-rich work behind
the scenes to advance their agendas. It’s also how today’s world
could quickly turn into the dystopian 2024 I describe above.
This is not conspiracy mongering or science fiction; this is fact.
Shock doctrine is simple. Political leaders use crises to ram-
rod policies into place no one would accept in normal times.
The shock doctrine begins with the fact that power elites
have agendas that take decades or even centuries to imple-
ment. These agendas include things like world money, global
taxation, control of physical gold, population control and other
plans intended to increase the power and wealth of the few at
your expense. Political elites are not fools. They understand
that their agenda is highly unpopular. They also understand
that democracy empowers everyday citizens and makes their
unpopular plans hard to implement. This is where the shock
doctrine comes in useful.
A shock can take many forms. It can be a financial panic,
terror attack, natural disaster, assassination or other extreme
event of a kind that seems to come out of the blue but is actual-
ly somewhat regular and predictable. When the shock occurs,
people become fearful and look to their leaders for comfort.
People begin to value order above liberty. It is at these critical
moments that the elites stand ready with a “plan” that will re-
store order but also secretly advance their agenda.
In effect, inevitable shocks are used as a cover to implement
plans that you would not accept in ordinary times. Order is re-
stored at the expense of liberty. When the shock wears off, the
new order remains but liberty is lost forever. This is the shock
doctrine at work. After each episode, the elites retreat and wait
for the next shock, which is always just a matter of time.
A good example is the USA Patriot Act, passed by the U.S.
Congress in 2001. This was the legislative response to the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. There were a lot of good items in
the Patriot Act that aided the global war on terror and helped
