Podcast Summary: Redacted News — "The Agenda 2030 Plan Is WORSE Than You Think"
Date: November 25, 2025
Guests: Hosts Clayton & Natali Morris, Derek Broze (journalist/filmmaker, activist)

Overview

This episode of Redacted News centers on the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, the World Economic Forum's Great Reset, and the broader themes of technocracy, surveillance, and personal and collective strategies for resistance. Natali and Derek Broze (director of the new film "Liberation 2030") discuss the dystopian narratives surrounding "you will own nothing and be happy," the expansion of digital and governmental controls, and what meaningful alternative visions and actions are possible as society moves toward 2030.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Unpacking Agenda 2030 & The “Great Reset” (01:00–05:32)

• Agenda 2030: A UN plan built around Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), officially aimed at eradicating poverty and improving life by 2030. The show argues it’s increasingly a vehicle for top-down control.
• The Great Reset: Announced by the World Economic Forum in 2020 as an opportunity to “remake capitalism” post-COVID. Broze and hosts are skeptical, describing it as a smokescreen for loss of privacy and liberty.
• Iconic Essay Reference: “Welcome to 2030: I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better” by Ida Auken, former Danish minister. Discussed as emblematic of the technocratic vision (03:45).

“They try to paint it as great as they can, but I think it’s not that hard to look past the buzzwords and see what’s really going on, which is the loss of individual liberty and privacy.”
— Derek Broze (07:29)

2. The Ongoing Implementation of Technocratic Controls (05:32–11:16)

• Digital IDs and Surveillance: The “real ID” rollout (since May 2025) is cited as an incremental step towards a full digital ID system, with state-by-state variations and integration into Apple/Google wallets (08:38).
• Surveillance Expansion: Example of Border Patrol monitoring Americans’ driving as part of border security (08:38), as well as Palantir’s government contracts and influence.
• Persistent Policy Across Administrations: Emphasis that neither party deviates from core technocratic policies, regardless of rhetoric (08:38).

3. Risks & “Worst-Case Scenarios” (11:16–16:07)

• Monetary Control & Centralization: Discussion on states’ long-standing use of money issuance as population control (11:16). Fear that central bank digital currencies (CBDC) could increase state power over individuals (12:25).
• Social Engineering Tactics: “Convenience” is flagged as a primary tool to nudge populations into accepting digital surveillance and loss of privacy (12:25), as with facial recognition tech in retail and stadiums.
• Potential State Overreach: Examples like medical surveillance and loss of parental rights if children are deemed distressed (15:10).

“If we know we reject the technocratic Great reset and Agenda 2030, then we must spend time getting to know exactly what we are seeking to create.”
— Derek Broze (02:36)

4. Paths to Resistance & Alternative Futures (“Liberation 2030”) (19:41–27:02)

• Reframing the Narrative: Broze explains his motivation to invert the “you will own nothing…” message into a “Liberation 2030” vision—promoting autonomy, abundance, and community (19:41).
• Community Focus: For those who can’t or won’t homestead, Broze emphasizes the importance of finding or building community—even in cities or suburbs—around shared values. “Exit and build” is presented as a gradual, multi-faceted process (21:29).
• Political Engagement: Resistance may have some use at the hyper-local level (school boards, city councils), but Broze is skeptical about politics as the ultimate solution (21:29).
• Practical Steps: Examples include striving for independence from tech monopolies and grids; using alternative technology, food systems, and even boycotting mainstream banking and government agencies (27:02).

“The invitation is not to say everybody needs to go off grid… Maybe you can stop using Google… Maybe you can stop using Gmail.”
— Derek Broze (29:45)

5. The Role of Online Discourse & Media Algorithms (36:30–46:47)

• Challenges of Productive Discourse: The struggle to maintain empathy and effectiveness in online arguments, and the difficulty of reaching people in echo chambers (37:09).
• Media and Algorithm Critique: Platforms and news outlets, intentionally or not, amplify divisive debate and “rage-bait” while deprioritizing constructive, solutions-based content (44:45).
• Cultural Observations: Hostility and tribalism, even around “anti-establishment” movements, can stymie productive resistance or alliance across ideologies.

“I think the algorithm…favors drama, favors clickbait, favors rage bait. I can put out a documentary that’s solutions based…and we’ll see how much attention it gets compared to, ‘here’s the latest drama’…People are drawn to those things.”
— Derek Broze (45:12)

6. Activism & Empowerment: Examples of Hope and Agency (46:47–50:19)

• ‘The People’s Reset’ Event: Broze highlights his annual “activation” in Mexico — a gathering focused on practical skills, empowerment, and real community building as a bottom-up solution (46:51).
• Role of Journalists vs. Activists: Journalists' job is to inform, not prescribe solutions, but Broze as an activist feels called to also share pathways to empowerment.
• Empowerment Mindset: A repeated message: don’t be paralyzed by fear or awareness alone; take whatever steps available to build real and digital independence, however small.

Notable Quotes and Moments

Tone and Overall Message

The tone is cautious yet ultimately constructive, pivoting from warnings about loss of liberty and technocratic overreach toward actionable optimism. Both Broze and the hosts strive to balance “alarm” with practical empowerment, promoting agency, localism, and consciousness as viable responses to a system they view as increasingly centralized and intrusive.
