Modern society clings to the belief that money can solve anything — that if only the wealthy shared their abundance, poverty and crime would vanish. It’s an appealing notion, simple and comforting, but also profoundly deceptive. For beneath every call for charity lies a deeper design: a world engineered to keep people dependent, distracted, and divided, while power remains untouched.

One of the most persistent myths – overpopulation – has been weaponized to create fear, justify restrictions, and manipulate human behavior.
