We have discussed severally how governments worldwide are attempting to erase the foundational principles of personal liberty and financial independence. The latest assault on these values is unfolding in Australia, where policymakers are floating a “spare bedroom tax” to supposedly “free up housing supply.” This isn’t just bad economics—it’s a blatant intrusion into private life that aligns eerily with the globalist blueprint of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Great Reset.” Let me break it down for you step by step, drawing on the facts and why this should concern every freedom-loving individual who values owning a home as the cornerstone of stability and prosperity.

AUSTRALIA FLOATS ‘SPARE BEDROOM TAX’ IN RADICAL HOUSING CRACKDOWN

The Proposal: Taxing Your Home to “Solve” a Crisis of Their Own Making

Australia is in the grips of a housing crisis, with skyrocketing prices and rents leaving young families locked out of the market. The Albanese Labor government pledged to build 1.2 million new homes over five years, but as of August 2025, they’re already 250,000 short due to construction delays, regulatory hurdles, and labour shortages. Enter the “spare bedroom tax”—a radical idea floated by property research firm Cotality at the government’s Economic Reform Roundtable in mid-August 2025.

Cotality’s head of research, Eliza Owen, argues that over 60% of Australian households consist of just one or two people (based on 2021 Census data), yet three-quarters of homes have three or more bedrooms. She points to “inefficiencies” like empty nesters clinging to family-sized homes, suggesting a tax on unused bedrooms to encourage downsizing or renting out spare rooms. This could be paired with scrapping stamp duty (a transaction tax on property sales) to make moving cheaper, while introducing a broad-based land tax that scales with property size. Proponents claim this would shift demand toward smaller units like apartments and townhouses—the so-called “missing middle” housing—and free up larger homes for growing families. Treasurer Jim Chalmers hasn’t ruled it out, calling Australia’s tax system “imperfect” and hinting at reforms in upcoming budgets.

 But here’s the reality check: This crisis isn’t caused by “underutilized” bedrooms; it’s manufactured by years of unchecked mass immigration (over 500,000 net arrivals annually under Labor), foreign investor speculation, and zoning laws that stifle new builds. Taxing spare rooms won’t add a single new dwelling—it just punishes hardworking Aussies who’ve saved and sacrificed to own a home big enough for their dreams, like space for kids, grandkids, or a home office.

Public backlash has been fierce, with social media erupting in memes and outrage.  Critics, including opposition figures like Sarah Henderson, call it a “crazy idea” that targets retirees and families, ignoring real fixes like cutting immigration or easing building regulations. From a finance perspective, this tax would hit middle-class asset holders hardest—empty nesters on fixed pensions who can’t afford to downsize without losing equity to high transaction costs or capital gains taxes. It’s regressive, pitting generations against each other while foreign investors snap up freed-up properties at inflated prices.  Australia already has over 13 million spare bedrooms nationwide, per earlier studies, but taxing them won’t solve poverty or supply shortages.

The Globalist Great Reset: Erasing Ownership for Elite Control

Now, let’s connect the bigger picture. This spare bedroom scheme isn’t isolated—it’s a textbook example of the WEF’s “Great Reset” agenda, a blueprint launched in June 2020 by WEF founder Klaus Schwab to “reset and reshape” global economies toward “stakeholder capitalism.” The Great Reset calls for overhauling taxes, regulations, and investments to prioritize “equity” and sustainability, often at the expense of individual property rights. Schwab’s vision included using the pandemic as a “rare window” to build back greener and fairer, with governments coordinating on wealth taxes, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s tech (like AI and surveillance) for the “public good.” Let’s throwback to Klaus Schwab’s daughter as she pushed for the WEF’s ‘Great Reset’. The project isn’t about saving the planet — it’s about exploiting crises to seize control. Nicole Schwab, literarily unveiled their plan: use crisis to dismantle the old economy and replace it with a “sustainable” system (run by elites, of course?)

Sounds noble but let me tell you what it really is: a power grab by unelected global elites at Davos, funded by a consortium of over 1,000 mega-corporations like Google, Apple, and BlackRock, to centralize control under the guise of fighting inequality and climate change. The smoking gun is the WEF’s infamous mantra: “You’ll own nothing and be happy.” This stems from a 2016 essay by Danish politician Ida Auken, published on the WEF site, envisioning a 2030 world where people rent everything—from homes and cars to appliances and clothes—via shared services and drones. Auken described a city where “I don’t own anything… Everything you considered a product has now become a service.” The WEF promoted it in a video summarizing predictions for 2030, including that line, sparking global debate. Auken later tried to take it back saying  it was a provocative scenario to discuss tech’s pros and cons, not a utopia, but the damage was done. Conspiracy or not, it perfectly encapsulates the Reset’s push for a subscription-based economy where corporations own assets, and individuals lease them—profiting Big Tech and finance giants while stripping away the security of ownership.

The Great Reset ties directly to housing: Schwab’s plan emphasizes “green urban infrastructure” and ESG (environmental, social, governance) metrics to force denser living and reduce private land use, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. In Australia, this manifests as the bedroom tax, which would coerce downsizing into high-rise rentals—echoing the UK’s failed 2013 “bedroom tax” that harmed vulnerable tenants without boosting supply. Pauline Hanson of One Nation have called Labor’s housing tweaks a “first step” toward this Reset, where government stakes in homes (up to 40%) morph into outright control. Globally, it’s the same script: Tax private property to fund “equitable” redistribution, while elites like amass billions during crises.  This isn’t about fairness—it’s about dependency. When you own nothing, you rent from the state-corporate nexus, losing the autonomy that homeownership provides. As property theory shows, ownership isn’t just financial; it’s tied to human dignity and happiness, fostering personhood and security. The Reset rejects that, promoting a “happy” serfdom where surveillance tracks your every move for “sustainability.” Ex-investment banker Catherine Austin Fitts says that the ‘Great Reset’ is a plan “to sell to people a vision of a world where the average person has a much smaller command on resources and assets and is subject to complete central control.”

Defending Personal Values Against Globalist Overreach

From a finance standpoint, homeownership has always been the great equalizer—building equity, hedging inflation, and passing wealth to heirs. Australia’s “homeowners’ welfare state” (as economists dub it) has fuelled middle-class prosperity, but the Reset views it as inequality’s root. Taxing spare bedrooms would accelerate wealth transfer from families to governments and corporations, widening the gap while claiming to close it. It’s politically suicidal—polls show Aussies cherish their quarter-acre dream—but globalists thrive on top-down imposition, bypassing democracy via forums like Davos.

The USA Housing Crisis: A Man-Made Supply-Demand Nightmare

But its not just an Australia. This thing takes different shapes in different places. America’s housing market is in freefall for the average citizen, with affordability at its worst since the 2008 crash. As of mid-2025, the median sale price for an existing home stands at $435,300, a staggering 48% jump from June 2020’s $294,400. Rents average $1,382 monthly, consuming over 30% of income for half of all renters—a record high. And first-time buyers? In cities like Portland, Maine, a two-bedroom starter home lists for $400,000+, outbidding young families with cash-flush investors. The crisis spans urban, suburban, and rural areas: 76% of Americans see it worsening, with rural folks (80%) hit hardest by skyrocketing costs. At the heart is a supply shortage of 3.7-4.5 million units, per Freddie Mac and Zillow estimates. Construction starts for single-family homes dropped 6.9% in October 2024 to just 970,000 annually, far below the 1.5 million needed. Inventory sits at a 4.7-month supply—below the balanced 5-6 months—keeping prices elevated despite high mortgage rates (6.74% for 30-year fixed as of July 2025).

US housing market hijacked by BlackRock, Vanguard & State Street – RFK Jr.

The US housing market is being aggressively dominated by Wall Street giants BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. According to US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, inflation is only part of the problem, as these corporate behemoths are actively driving up prices by paying 20-50% over the asking price for single-family homes. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street are quietly buying up every available property, with a clear goal of controlling a massive 60% of all single-family homes in the US by 2030. RFK Jr. sounded the alarm, warning that these giants are deliberately targeting the middle class as part of their “Great Reset” agenda, which aims to leave individuals with no assets and no control. The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is actively pushing this agenda as now the chairman of the World Economic Forum. The result is a deliberate and systematic takeover of the US housing market, with the middle class firmly in the crosshairs.

WEF and BlackRock’s public plans to ban single-family homes and private cars

The Reset rejects homeownership as “inequality’s root,” promoting “happy serfdom” via surveillance and shared assets. It destabilizes markets, forces renting, and widens gaps.  Elites benefit from scarcity; policies like zoning preserve it for the wealthy.

Ownership builds equity, hedges inflation—key to middle-class prosperity. The Reset views it as a threat, pushing dependency on small space rentals. It’s the Globalist plan to have you own nothing. Alex Jones also exposed the WEF and BlackRock’s public plans to ban single-family homes and private cars, tax families, and herd us into tiny “smart cities” using a fake climate emergency.

The WEF will not control the nations

Don’t let globalist mantras like “own nothing and be happy” become policy. Happiness comes from freedom and ownership, not enforced sharing. If Australia falls for this, it’ll be a cautionary tale for the world: The Reset isn’t reset—it’s regression to feudalism, where elites own everything, and we’re just happy to rent. Stand firm; your home is your castle, not their experiment.

The trend reflects growing geopolitical tensions, including the 2022 freezing of Russian reserves, US-China friction, and a push by BRICS nations to diversify away from dollar and euro reliance. Central banks cited diversification and protection against sanctions as key reasons for increasing gold holdings. Despite the euro’s stable share at around 20% when measured at constant exchange rates, gold’s price rally elevated its market value above the euro’s. The US dollar still dominates reserves at 46%, though its share is declining.

This is a big deal, and it’s a wake-up call for anyone who values economic stability, national sovereignty, and sound money. Let’s break down why this matters and what it means for you. Gold overtaking the euro signals a crisis of confidence in fiat currencies—those paper promises backed by nothing but trust in governments. Fiat currencies are backed by empty promises, and when those promises fail, confidence collapses. ‘Fiat’ is Latin for currency by force.

The euro, once hailed as Europe’s answer to the dollar, is losing ground because central banks are questioning its long-term stability. And who can blame them? The eurozone’s been grappling with sluggish growth, political fragmentation, and the fallout from years of loose monetary policy. Meanwhile, gold—tangible, timeless, immune to sanctions—has become the go-to for nations looking to protect their wealth.

Why EU’s Currency Is DONE

The Euro suffered a record collapse to its low in 2022. However, this fall isn’t done and the crash has worsened in 2025. The Euro could crash further which could escalate deindustrialization as well!

ECB’s Digital Euro set to launch in October

But this is by design because, the European Central Bank is set to unveil its Digital Euro in October, sparking widespread concerns about the erosion of our financial freedom. A major issue is the real-time monitoring of every single transaction, allowing banks to track each purchase made by individuals, thereby raising significant privacy concerns. The threat of payment blocking becomes increasingly real, with the government potentially freezing funds if they disagree with an individual’s actions. Furthermore, the introduction of automatic tax deductions is a looming possibility, where the ECB could directly deduct taxes from digital wallets. The implementation of cash withdrawal limits may also be on the horizon, restricting access to one’s own money. The Digital Euro will introduce programmable money, enabling the imposition of expiration dates on funds, which will disappear if not spent within a specified timeframe. Having failed to convince the public to adopt this system voluntarily, authorities now appear to be relying on fear tactics, potentially exploiting a new crisis to forcibly impose the Digital Euro on the population, effectively ushering in a financial Great Reset. This move would grant total control over individual purchases, tracking movements, and potentially even dictating dietary choices, essentially establishing a system of pervasive financial surveillance that monitors every aspect of one’s life. By accepting the Digital Euro, individuals would be paving the way for a future devoid of financial privacy, where every transaction is tracked and controlled. The ECB’s plan raises urgent questions about the future of financial freedom and the potential for governments to exert excessive control over citizens’ lives. Will the introduction of the Digital Euro mark the beginning of a new era of financial surveillance, and what implications will this have for individuals and society as a whole?

How Geopolitics has favoured Gold

Now, let’s talk geopolitics, because this is where the rubber meets the road. The 2022 freezing of Russia’s reserves by Western powers sent shockwaves through the global financial system. Countries like China and India took note and said, “We’re not going to be next.” They’re diversifying away from the dollar and euro, stockpiling gold to shield themselves from sanctions and currency wars. BRICS nations are even talking about a gold-backed alternative to the dollar. This isn’t just a financial shift; it’s a power shift.

From a conservative perspective, this is a vindication of what we’ve been saying for years: fiat currencies are vulnerable. The US dollar, still king at 46% of reserves, isn’t invincible either. Its share is shrinking, weighed down by America’s $33 trillion debt and reckless money printing. Gold’s rise is a reminder that sound money—backed by something real—matters. It’s why central banks are acting like preppers, stocking up on gold like it’s the financial apocalypse.  But this isn’t just about central banks. Everyday investors are jumping in, too. Gold ETFs and physical bullion sales are booming as people hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. And let’s be honest: with governments spending like there’s no tomorrow, who trusts paper money to hold its value? Gold’s surge is a vote for economic sanity in a world gone mad with debt and deficits.  But Like I said, Its by design because they want to introduce CBDC.

Gold overtaking the euro is sign that the global financial system is cracking.

So, why should you care? Because gold overtaking the euro is a warning shot. It’s a sign that the global financial system, built on trust in fiat currencies, is cracking. For investors, it’s time to ask: are you diversified? Do you have assets that can’t be printed or sanctioned away? For policymakers, it’s a call to get back to basics—cut spending, shore up currencies, and stop treating debt like a game. And for all others, it’s a reminder that in uncertain times, gold isn’t just shiny metal; it’s a hedge against chaos.
