“The Great Taking” is a plan by central bankers to confiscate all securities, bank deposits and debt-financed property, as revealed by former hedge fund manager David Webb. The plan involves exploiting the global debt accumulation super cycle, rehypothecation of assets, and the centralisation of control over financial institutions. To survive “The Great Taking”, Nick Giambruno suggests people should aim to be debt-free and own unencumbered assets within their direct control, avoiding fiat currency in bank accounts and unsecured liabilities.
