The wealth gap that’s currently expanding in America is nothing new.
It’s happened throughout history, over and over.
Take Rome. As the Romans conquered countries like Carthage and Spain, they gathered more wealth than the world had ever seen. At one point, they had amassed 300,000 gold coins.
Those coins were collected by farmers who were called to serve their country.
These farmers had had no choice but to abandon their farms and to war.
Which meant their farms and homesteads had become incredibly rundown, leaving them teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
All that gold they had collected in the wars could have helped save their farms.
But that gold instead made its way to the pockets of the senatorial elite. Who, in turn, snatched up those farmlands, cheap.
Turning these poor landowners into renters.
In this way, over time, land ownership became consolidated into the hands of a just a few. Kind of like Rome’s 1%.
Fortunately, one Roman politician, Tiberius Gracchus, tried to set things right.
Gracchus introduced a law that would have the lands given back to the poor. But the senate wouldn’t have it.
First, they tried to defeat the law politically. And when that failed, they simply had Gracchus killed.
They were like pigs at the trough – making themselves fatter while the average Roman starved.
Historians say this transfer of land and wealth was the nail in the coffin for Rome.
In fact, as every great empire comes to an end, the elite begin buying up farmland.
Control the food, control the people, I guess.
Meanwhile, in America, it’s predicted that 70% of the farmland is expected to change hands in the next 20 years.
Who’s buying up all this land?
Bill Gates has become the largest landowner in the United States. Along with his wife, Melinda, he owns 242,000 acres across 18 states.
Jeff Bezos and Ted Turner are buying up land…
And so are other elite too.
They’re not even hiding their true intentions.
They’ve made them public through the World Economic Forum.
The WEF is a front for the world’s wealthiest – high level bankers and politicians.
And they published their 2030 Agenda on their website recently.
It says, in plain English, that their agenda is for you to “own nothing, and be happy”.
Which, of course, sounds a lot like communism.
Communism for you, but not for the elite.
That’s not a world I want to take part in.
But that’s what’s happening.
Does the elite snatching up land spell the end of America like it did for Rome?
Does it threaten your security and financial wellbeing in the years to come?
I think so.
Now’s not the time to panic, though. It’s the time to take focused action.
