NESARA

The National Economic Security and Recovery Act (NESARA) is a set of proposed economic reforms for the United States suggested by private citizen Harvey Francis Barnard during the 1990s. Barnard claimed that the proposals, which included replacing the income tax with a national sales tax, abolishing compound interest on secured loans, and returning to a bimetallic currency, would result in 0% inflation and a more stable economy. The proposals were never introduced in Congress.

Since the early 2000s, NESARA has become better known as the subject of a cult-like conspiracy theory whose original promoter was Internet personality Shaini Candace Goodwin, better known as "Dove of Oneness". Goodwin, who appropriated NESARA without Barnard's consent, claimed that the act was actually passed with additional provisions as the National Economic Security and Reformation Act, and then suppressed by the George W. Bush administration and the Supreme Court. Goodwin's conspiracy emails were translated into several languages and had a large following online. Adherents of the theory have also used the term GESARA (standing for either Global Economic Security and Recovery Act or Global Economic Security and Reformation Act) in order to extend the proposed NESARA reforms outside the US and to the rest of the world.
