Sony’s CES 2025 press conference: How to watch
Sony knows how to put on a show at CES. The company’s pressers are high-octane, star-studded affairs, as these things go. In addition to standard Sony fare like TVs and audio systems, there’s always a curve ball or two, be it a car, a drone, or a “Gran Turismo” movie. That’s one of the perks […]

The Great Taking
David Rogers Webb (2023)
PDF
For me, “being known” has never been a wise or desirable objective, unless it has been to accomplish some essential purpose. And now my purpose is this: it is so that what I am trying to tell you might be heard and understood. We are in danger. And so I will risk telling you my personal story.
In 1987, I had an offer to join the Mergers & Acquisitions group at L. F. Rothschild. Instead, I chose to move for half the compensation to a private equity firm. I knew about the agency side of the deal business; I needed to know about the principal side. I also somehow sensed that there would be a crash. One month later on Black Monday, the capital of L. F. Rothschild was wiped out and the firm soon ceased to exist. (Prologue)
What is this book about?
It is about the taking of collateral, all of it, the end game of this globally synchronous debt accumulation super cycle. This is being executed by long-planned, intelligent design, the audacity and scope of which is difficult for the mind to encompass. Included are all financial assets, all money on deposit at banks, all stocks and bonds, and hence, all underlying property of all public corporations, including all inventories, plant and equipment, land, mineral deposits, inventions and intellectual property. Privately owned personal and real property financed with any amount of debt will be similarly taken, as will the assets of privately owned businesses, which have been financed with debt. If even partially successful, this will be the greatest conquest and subjugation in world history. (Introduction)
