The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda

The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda is the definitive treatment of the Great Reset. In a scholarly examination, Rectenwald treats the various components of the Great Reset, including the economic system it establishes, the deep history of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the population control “ethics” of the WEF and related globalist organizations, climate change catastrophism, the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (including transhumanism), and the question of conspiracy theory. Rectenwald ends with a nine-point plan for stopping the Great Reset in its tracks, as part of what he calls the Grand Refusal. Far from a conspiratorial rant, The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty is a thoroughly sourced account that lays bare the premises and implications of the Great Reset project.

Praise for The Great Reset and the Struggle For Liberty

“Michael Rectenwald’s The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty is a masterful and timely work of intellectual history from one of our time’s most courageous dissident voices. With extensive research in various disciplines — from European history and sociology to American finance, and from AI to climate science — Rectenwald gives us a sweeping and detailed account of the false prophets of an anti-human movement threatening to engulf America and other Western democracies. This tour-de-force is essential reading for those engaged in the ongoing struggle to preserve man’s freedom and future against totalitarianism — and a lasting testament of hope, faith, and love for the generations to come.” — Lee Smith, author of The Permanent Coup and The Plot Against the President, host of The Epoch Times’ Over the Target.

“When you first hear what the world's elites are up to, you think: this can't be true. Unfortunately, dear reader, it is, and we do ourselves no favors by pretending otherwise. In fact, as Michael Rectenwald shows us, their current program didn't emerge just a year or two ago, but is instead the culmination of a century-long effort against the liberties of the people. You'll see how their current obsessions -- woke ideology, ‘climate change,’ vaccine passports, and so on -- combine to solidify their dominance. This book lays out, in their own words, their plans and intentions, and what we can do to stop them.” — Tom Woods, senior fellow of the Mises Institute and host of The Tom Woods Show.

Thought Criminal (A novel by Michael Rectenwald)

New! Thought Criminal. “The 1984 of the COVID era.”

A distinguished Professor of AI-neuroscience and Theory of Mind, Cayce Varin has dissident thoughts. He differs from acceptable opinion on matters of grave importance to respectable Human Biologicals and the Federation of Pandemos, the global state. Upon confessing his divergent theories to a Graduate Student Assistant, his life is never the same. He is labeled a Thought Deviationist, among other damning designations. He is arrested by a Robot Police Agent and soon released but remains a covert Thought Deviationist living under the constant fear of future arrest, the treachery of friends, and the loss of his identity.

For Varin and a small cadre of Thought Deviationists, the ultimate threat is posed by Collective Mind—the vast centralized database and processing complex with apparent knowledge of everything, possibly even one’s innermost thoughts. Varin and fellow Thought Deviationists believe that the Federation deliberately propagates a virus to keep Human Biologicals connected to Collective Mind. Submission to the virus spells the obliteration of the self. Resistance to the virus, made possible by taking the addictive drug Eraserall, means living as a fugitive of the law and being forever hunted by Robot Police Agents to be taken in for “treatment.”

Finally, it appears that the only solution is to infiltrate Essential Data, Collective Mind’s main data and processing center. The risks are great, and the gambit may be impossible. But Varin’s future, the future of Thought Deviationists, and the future of the individual itself, depend on the mission’s success.

“Michael Rectenwald has written a thought experiment for our time, the 1984 of the COVID era, where we can step back and view today's America for what it is: a society infected not by a virus but by collective hysteria. Thought Criminal explores the meaning of individualism in an increasingly collectivist society, where our thoughts are not our thoughts but those infused in us by the media and the Collective Mind, and the very notion of free will becomes a distant memory. This is fiction that makes us think and makes us dream.” —Kenneth R. Timmerman, NY Times best-selling author of The Election Heist and other books.

"Both an allegory for our present collectivist times and a vision of the future, Thought Criminal draws you in irresistibly from the first pages, immersing you in a thrilling and disturbing adventure." —Janice Fiamengo, Professor of English (retired), University of Ottawa. Author of Sons of Feminism.

Beyond Woke

With this new volume, Michael Rectenwald returns with his characteristic sharp wit and incisive analysis and continues to fine-tune his critique of modern leftism. In Beyond Woke, he brings his unique perspective as an ex-Marxist and civil libertarian to bear on leftist culture, with its abandonment of traditional morality and emphasis on collective social identities - which are ironically increasingly atomized, as overwhelming centrifugal forces break up any previously stable social cohesion. The revolution is here and it’s winning. Find out why, and how to combat it. (Signed with personalized message - $45. hardcover; $35. soft-cover. US domestic shipping included.)
