    Unconfirmed reports from Spain and elsewhere in Europe say that cash holdings in households may soon be restricted. No sums are given (yet). From the outset, it would look like one of those nonsensical “directives” coming out of Brussels, checked and supervised personally by Madame Von der Leyen, the ever-unelected, controversial head of the European Commission.

    As a second thought, you may think, it’s just one more of these fear-mongering measures to keep the population down, on their knees and easily manipulable.

    The traditional Tavistock method to keep people on their toes, obedient and submissive.

    However, Whitney Webb, the extraordinary geopolitical analyst, just reports in a 22-minute video what supposedly is expecting us around the world, but presumably starting with the west, namely a monetary conversion into all-digital control called Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which will be linked to electronic or digital IDs which, in turn, are linked to each individual’s biometrics (finger prints, face recognition, iris-scans and more).

    This would mean absolute control of everything you do, intend to do – or not to do.

    It would mean, you are obedient, or your bank account is blocked, for good or for a while, if you are not obedient and submissive to “authorities’” orders.

    Remember, first trials of this evil-control’s workability were carried out during the 2022 Canadian trucker strike, when bank accounts of leaders were blocked, some for good.

    This was not just a warning, but a prediction of what was to come.

    By remaining largely silent around the world, populations accepted this insane government interference in people’s privacy. It was – and still is – against human rights, against basic freedoms as inscribed in almost all western countries’ Constitutions, including in Canada’s.

    That would have been one opportunity for a world revolution against government interferences in peoples’ constitutional and international rights; an opportunity missed. Now there is a second one….

    As we may be confronted not only with universally unwanted, but compulsory digital IDs, but also with control over our – in many cases – hard-earned money. Imposed obedience to accept illegal government actions against us, the People. Your bank account can be blocked if you “misbehave”; meaning you do not follow orders, for example, enforced infractions on your body, like unwanted “vaccinations”, or if the central-control system discovers your environmental / CO2 footprint is too heavy -never mind the vast, immense boot-prints of all military and wars.

    We are not there yet.

    In her elaborate explanation of what is planned to keep humanity in shackles, starting with financial shackles followed by mind-control (already largely going on), Whitney Webb describes the complex combinations and coordination of digital ID with CBDCs, or other types of digital money, like through a myriad of payment applications in your smart phone or watch and even in some cases chips implanted on people’s wrists.

    Whitney explains that the “directives” come from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS in Basle, Switzerland, also called the Bank of all Central Banks) and the complex relationship between the BIS, national central banks, the international banking system and the users of the banking system, essentially “you and me” – everybody.

    This entirely privately run institution, the BIS – without any international legitimacy – controls some 95% of all central banks, including China and Russia, though not Iran (yet).

    The BIS controls about 97% of the worldwide money flow. The financial institution is a behemoth of monetary power. Who is behind it? You may guess – and your guess is most likely going in the right direction.

    Importantly, Whitney says that CBDCs are unlikely to be used on a retail basis, i.e., by regular consumers, but mainly for interbank transaction, including with national central banks. This may already be the case today.

    However, if the e-ID system and banking or monetary central control are firmly linked, there is no need for the regular consumer to use CBDCs. Regular money is controlled by the banks, through centrally controlled e-IDs, to which the banks are, or would be linked.

    People’s e-IDs will very likely be lodged on each individual’s smartphone, through a personalized QR code, which will include your health data, purchasing habits, lifestyle data and a zillion more points of information. Eventually, the centrally controlled QR code knows more about you, than you know about yourself.

    What if you do not have a smartphone? You may simply become a “nobody” – with access to nothing. No matter what authorities tell you – lie to you now, to sooth your mind, “that an e-ID is not obligatory”. That is in practice pure BS, as the time will come, whether compulsory or not, you will not be able to do anything without an e-ID.

    But, if you are a member of an ever-growing group of cellphone objectors, throwing that away – returning to an analog life, a life we happily and largely had until close to the turn of the millennium; barely a bit more than a quarter of a century back. It should not be impossible to return to these days. Should it?

    About the QR code. QR stands for “Quick Response,” referring to a type of barcode that stores information for rapid access via a smartphone. It is a two-dimensional square matrix that can hold an almost unlimited amount of data.

    Remember, every time you go to a restaurant, museum or else, where they offer you to scan a QR code to read the menu or their program, you are recorded and centrally controlled, contributing to your own lifestyle profile, to be on record by the central control-masters.

    Just imagine, what happens when your smartphone is lost, or stolen or hacked? Not only your personal codes for bank accounts and other protected access and important data are at risk, but you become vulnerable for blackmailing of any kind.

    Watch the full Whitney Webb video above.

    As mentioned before, we are not there yet.

    Many people in the West – even in obedient Switzerland – have started hoarding cash for what is suspected may happen perhaps soon, and especially unannounced – a financial lockdown (though Whitney did not mention a lockdown in her video, nor a timeframe), perhaps for an extended period, during which you have no access to your bank account, through whatever means – ATMs (Automated Teller Machines), debt and credit cards, various options of cellphone payment system, you name it. Nothing will work.

    Cash may come in handy. Is that why the European Commission may want to ban or limit the amount of cash you are “allowed” to hold at home?

    Some people could starve.

    On a larger scale, Whitney also mentions the World Economic Forum (WEF), the UN (working in full collaboration with the WEF), the World Bank and the IMF as the chosen instruments to implement the UN Agenda 2030 – the achievements of the so-called sustainable development goals (SDG).

    Whitney acknowledges it is the Washington Consensus in new cloths, indebting countries to the brink, as the current monetary system can survive only on debt – and on the pressure on natural, national resources that can be exerted on indebted countries through debt. It is enslavement by debt.

    This is yet another means – other than the never-ending climate threat – of making us, We, the People, submissive, preparing us for what is to come.

    Having said this – a real risk – it may also be another fear campaign. Such campaigns have also a purpose, mostly the same as the objective they propagate, namely making people – the masses – submissive, so that the minorities have little chance to stand up and resist.

    Whatever is behind this Whitney Webb’s (maybe controlled?) video, We The People, have already witnessed and many have lived – too many miseries, atrocities, wars – threats of wars, man-made (as in geoengineering) climate disasters, so that we should not guess that it may not hit us as hard as we are made believe.

    We should act now.

    We are maybe five seconds before midnight. Maybe an hour before midnight.

    But midnight will arrive – either as Armageddon, or as the way to the LIGHT.

    It depends on us, We, The People.

    German Leopards are sent to Kiev – so “Der Spiegel” (24.1.2023) – Chancellor Scholz has decided for more killing against all odds. Against the vast majority of the German people. Against the will of the vast majority of the people of the west. Against the vast majority of the people of the world.

    Nobody wants war, only the war profiteers. And the mega-rich, megalo-psychopaths. The WEF-people, so to speak. The “controlleurs” par excellence. The elites chosen few, maybe extraterrestrials, who are privileged wanting to safe our planet, à la John Kerry – see his speech at the WEF Davos 2023:

    And why do we, the People, allow the war profiteers and those megalo-psychopaths who want to control the world and its resources with the ill-begotten riches, anyway debt-based riches, money worth anything, only because we, The People, accept it – tolerate these megalos, warmongers, war maker and outright murderers?

    In order to tyrannize us, the dark cult — the Death Cult, you may as well call them — has to cull us people down to an easily manageable size, do away with the useless eaters, so to speak (Harari-Schwab-speak), so the ever-diminishing non-renewable resources will last longer for their, the Death Cult’s, ever more luxury-vaganza.

    That’s why they need war, have been living off wars – big wars, for more than the last century.

    Those are the ones who call War Peace and Peace War.

    Why?

    Because for them war is peace of mind. They are never touched by war, yet war brings them ever and always more riches, ill-begotten resources. We know that. But they don’t care.

    They are killers. They are oblivious to guilt and blood.

    *

    But by far the vast majority wants Peace – real Peace. Harmonious cohabitation among us neighbors, communes, societies, countries, continents – within the world population. Sovereignty for all individuals, groups; and interchange of goods and ideas, of culture, of science, as we please and as we feel is to our all-mutual benefit.

    Economically speaking: Win-win, in harmony and peace. Sounds crazy – so farfetched, not possible?

    How can it be crazy, if most of us would like it and would want to strive for it, if only we had a system that would allow it?

    Well, we thought the Ancient Greeks gave us such a system: “Democracy”.

    Also, a lie. Democracy, as we believe it was conceived, never really existed. Even in Greece 2500 years ago, only the “educated” were allowed to vote. And who were the educated? What was the criteria? You guessed it. They were pretty much what they are today – wealthy, prestigious and, yes, of course “educated”.

    In conclusion, “Democracy” is a joke.

    *

    So, where does that leave us with the German Leopards?

    Germany has “decided” to deliver in a first go, a Leopard battalion, of 14 Leopard II tanks.

    That’s reported, among others, by the Swiss NZZ mainstream (25.1.2023 – in German).

    The editors and journalists who write about it, they are so elated about delivering killing machines to the most corrupt country in Europe, they hardly can suppress their tears of joy. They are literally like children discovering their most desired and precious present under the Christmas tree. I kid you not.

    That’s the state of Orwell’s 1984 dystopia we have reached. Reality has actually outdone Orwell’s brilliant foresight.

    The pressure of the mainstream media may have played a role in Scholz’s decision. Or was it really Scholz’s decision – or rather a US- / NATO-coerced / suggested decision?

    And why are the US / NATO – and the generally vassal-west, Europe and worldwide Anglo-saxons plus Japan, so adamant to destroy Russia? Certainly, one of the reasons is that Russia is by far the world’s largest country surface-wise, and by far the globe’s richest country in terms of natural resources.

    Russia has everything – and more – the elite covets for to maintain and expand its luxurious lifestyle.

    Another reason most certainly is that modern Russia under President Putin is not bending to the dictate of the west. Russia is not willing to submit to a western-dominated Globalist world, fast becoming a tyranny if not stopped in its tracks. China is not willing either to submit to a western-directed One World Order (OWO).

    So, Russia and China have made a pact, under which a multipolar world would flourish, a much more natural, multi-cultural approach to a “new” world, a more peaceful and more prosperous world.

    Most of Asia, and many of the hitherto so-called western countries, are also aiming at integrating into the new “realm” of peaceful coexistence, promoted by Russia and China, much to the detriment of the “old” belligerent west.

    It may become an amalgam of countries, fused into socioeconomic associations, which are sick and tired of the centuries of western hegemonic exploitation. First, by the most abject exploitative and mass killing European colonies, in Africa and around the world, then – about in the 1950s and 1960s – when these colonies were set “free” to become neo-colonies – a new type of serfdom – economic usurpation emerged — and is thriving to this day.

    What these still colonialized countries are aiming at is the recreation of the natural Continent of Eurasia, which was destroyed by Anglosaxony and its small brother, the French colonizers.

    For those who remember the history of Eurasia, where trade was peaceful and befitting to the term “win-win”, where trading among countries, nations or simple communities was according to comparative advantages – leading to “win-win”- these people, politicians and honest thinkers will want Eurasia back.

    And guess who has already thought about this idea? China’s President Xi Jinping, when he initiated already in 2013 the New Silk Road – patterned according to the original Silk Road of 2100 years ago. The New Silk Road is also called the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It attempts to connect Eurasia in trade, infrastructure, joint business ventures, science, cultural exchanges and much more. The dynamics of BRI pursue an open-ended peaceful objective of worldwide cooperation – ironing out potential conflicts with negotiations, not with war.

    Yes, the “The Times they are A-Changing” (Bob Dylan, 1964).

    *

    Back to Chancellor Scholz. Maybe more than the media pressure, the pressure from Washington and NATO became too much for Scholz to bear. Yet, the world is waiting for a leader who does not follow orders from “above”, from outside, from hell, but who has his own conscience and a spine of steel, not prone to bend over for fear and coercion. One who says NO to war, despite all the interests in this dystopian Orwell-1984 world. Even if it means he has to quit over his decision. Scholz doesn’t seem to fit that profile.

    Can you imagine Scholz resigning over the decision of the Leopards? Hardly. Actually, yesterday and today, we have seen he didn’t resign, but rather acquiesced with the decision from “above”, meaning Washington and Brussels.

    But wouldn’t his resignation or simple refusal to deliver German Leopards to Ukraine, a country that has from the beginning fought an already lost war – wouldn’t this have been a formidable shock signal to the rest of the ultra-dystopian world?

    Yes, it would have been. And it’s never too late. Is there an EU leader (sic) with the guts to say NO to war, who will not enter as a war-party into a conflict that will pull Europe apart, that could even end in a nuclear holocaust, where the survivors may not be the elite?

    *

    Germany is enmeshed in a conflict which is, indeed, against Germany’s “Constitution”.

    That’s it. Germany doesn’t have their own Constitution. Germany is still under an Armistice Agreement after WWII. One of the provisions under this one-sided “Pact” among the WWII-Allies, but led by the US, says that Germany may never take a decision which is against the interests of the United States. Or else.

    As we know, in today’s civilization, where murder is just another word for dominance, the “else” can mean many things. Unpleasant, indeed. Bloody. Several more venerable German leaders had attempted to break that slave-bond. They were “whiplashed” back to order.

    References to this effect, the German Armistice instead of a Constitution, used to be on internet. They are all gone, cleansed and fact-checked – censured out.

    The world is not to know that Germany, the economic and intellectual leader of Europe, is a mere puppet of Washington. And that whatever crazy appearing decision she takes is just toeing the line Washington has designed for her.

    And the war goes on, and on, and on. Killing, maiming and killing.

    More weapons into the cesspool of Kiev, creating billions of debts – Washington / Brussels create debt-money out of thin air, no backing, no chance of ever being paid back – helping creating “artificial” hyper-inflation, energy and food shortages, ruining the western economy, or rather – preparing it for being ransacked by the western oligarchy, the Death Cult, the Deep State – and the shadow monsters, Big-huge Corporate Finance. We know who they are.

    Yet, from day One, from 24 February 2022, everyone who had a brain knew this war could never be won by Ukraine. Not even with endless weapon-deliveries from the west. Not even with direct interference by NATO, not even with the US sending their troops on the grounds of Ukraine. Not even with US troops marching into Russia.

    Never. They are faced with a modern, tremendously efficient Russian Army – a terrific and terrifying nuclear force.

    Though President Putin has often said, Russia was not a “first-strike” nuclear force, while Biden countered, the US would be a ”preventive first-strike” nation, the US / NATO would stand no chance against a Russian nuclear counter attack.

    Do they realize that? Some American clear-thinking strategist-generals probably do. But the political megalos above them, who may call the final shot – the Red-Bottom trigger – they may have no clue in their narcissistic no-brain view.

    *

    At the outset, since WWI and before, it was the Anglosaxon hegemon’s idea to use Germany to wipe out the Soviet Union, then Russia. First with WWI and then with WWII – and now, with what you may already call WWIII.

    It is no longer a secret that the US while fighting the Third Reich along with the so-called Allied Forces (UK, France and the Soviet Union), the US quietly – or not so quietly – financed Hitler’s war against the Soviet Union – an Ally.

    Dancing on two or more weddings simultaneously has always been a rotten US strategy and is practiced as of this day.

    *

    The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), set up in Basle, Switzerland in 1930, basically to settle Germany’s debt form WWI, was hardly ever used for German debt settlement because Germany was forgiven most of her debt for WWI and WWII. Probably, because they defended the Anglosaxon interests as best they could.

    Instead, the BIS, largely a Rothschild-controlled private institution, close to the Swiss-German border, served to channel money directly from the US Fed to Hitler’s Reichsbank. Other collaborators with the Third Reich, included Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, IBM, Dow Chemicals, Hollywood (Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer), General Motors, Ford Motos – and more.

    In both WWI and WWII, the Anglosaxon hegemon lost their quest and German-proxy wars to conquer Russia, alias, the Soviet Union.

    Now their third attempt at conquering Russia is under way? Again, through Germany. A lost cause from the beginning.

    Especially with President Putin at the helm of the Kremlin.

    *

    In 1991, when the Berlin Wall fell, Washington was in ectasis of joy. They invited Russians from everywhere to participate in everything, from their most reputed think-tanks to the banking system, even into Pentagon advisory posts. The “strategists” from the Washington Swamp were convinced they finally won the Cold War and Russia was theirs.

    Then suddenly, some ten years later, unexpectedly came along a little-known KGB agent by the name of Vladimir Putin who was elected President of Russia, head of the Kremlin. The rest is history.

    Things changed. Drastically.

    Again: “Times Are A-Changing” to this day. President Putin is a nationalist who defends his country, the interests of Russia’s population and theirs, the Peoples of Russia’s resources.

    Contrary to the slander of the west, President Putin has no ambitions to expand the borders of Russia. In fact, Russia throughout known history NEVER was expansionist. No need. Russia with her 17.1 million square kilometers of surface (US – 9.8 sq.km, just a bit over half of Russia’s) and all the natural resources riches in and above the ground, has no need to expand.

    Think about it: Whoever could be naïve enough or dystopian-thinker enough to believe that Ukraine had even the tiniest chance of winning this war against Russia, not with billions and billions of weaponries from the west, not even in a dream world, must have been brainwashed into oblivion.

    This does, however, not rule out the insane Death Cult wanting to wipe out most of the planet’s inhabitants, triggering a nuclear war or by other means.

    German “Nachdenkseiten” reports that in one of the most recent Ukraine support packages from the US, indications are that they may contain nuclear-spiked ammunition. The article talks about the risks for Russia, but also for the Ukrainian civil society and even for the Ukrainian own soldiers. See this in German.

    Remember, this would be their third futile attempt to use Germany for conquering Russia.

    So, stay alert and be aware!

    Reviews

    “This book is a ‘must’ resource – a richly documented and systematic diagnosis of the supremely pathological geo-strategic planning of US wars since ‘9-11’ against non-nuclear countries to seize their oil fields and resources under cover of ‘freedom and democracy’.”
    –John McMurtry, Professor of Philosophy, Guelph University

    “In a world where engineered, pre-emptive, or more fashionably “humanitarian” wars of aggression have become the norm, this challenging book may be our final wake-up call.”
    -Denis Halliday, Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations

    Michel Chossudovsky exposes the insanity of our privatized war machine. Iran is being targeted with nuclear weapons as part of a war agenda built on distortions and lies for the purpose of private profit. The real aims are oil, financial hegemony and global control. The price could be nuclear holocaust. When weapons become the hottest export of the world’s only superpower, and diplomats work as salesmen for the defense industry, the whole world is recklessly endangered. If we must have a military, it belongs entirely in the public sector. No one should profit from mass death and destruction.
    –Ellen Brown, author of ‘Web of Debt’ and president of the Public Banking Institute

    The 2020-22 Worldwide Corona Crisis: Destroying Civil Society, Engineered Economic Depression, Global Coup d’État and the “Great Reset”

    By Prof Michel Chossudovsky

    ***

    History of Economic “Shock Treatment”. From The Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) to “Global Adjustment”(GA)

    The March 11, 2020 (simultaneous) closing down of  the national economies of 190 member states of the UN is diabolical and unprecedented. Millions of people have lost their jobs, and their lifelong savings. In developing countries, poverty, famine and despair prevail. The closure of national economies has led to a spiralling global debt. Increasingly, national governments are controlled by the creditors, which are currently financing the social safety nets, corporate bailouts and handouts.

    While this model of “global intervention” is unprecedented, it has certain features reminiscent of  the country-level macro-economic reforms including the imposition of  strong “economic medicine” by the IMF. To address this issue let us examine the history of so-called “economic shock treatment”(a term first used in the 1970s).

    Flash back to Chile, September 11 1973.

    As a visiting professor at the Catholic University of Chile, I lived through the military coup directed against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. It was a CIA ****operation led by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger coupled with devastating macro-economic reforms.

    Image on the left: Kissinger together with General Augusto Pinochet (1970s)

    In the month following the Coup d’Etat, the price of bread increased from 11 to 40 escudos overnight. This engineered collapse of both real wages and employment under the Pinochet dictatorship was conducive to a nationwide process of impoverishment. While food prices had skyrocketed, wages had been frozen to ensure “economic stability and stave off inflationary pressures.” From one day to the next, an entire country had been precipitated into abysmal poverty: in less than a year the price of bread in Chile increased thirty-six times and eighty-five percent of the Chilean population had been driven below the poverty line.” That was Chile’s 1973 “Reset”. 

    Two and a half years later in 1976, I returned to Latin America as a visiting professor at the National University of Cordoba in the northern industrial heartland of Argentina. My stay coincided with another military coup d’état in March 1976. Behind the massacres and human rights violations, “free market” macro-economic reforms had also been prescribed – this time under the supervision of Argentina’s New York creditors, including David Rockefeller who was a friend of The Junta’s  Minister of Economy José Alfredo Martinez de Hoz.

    Image: General President Jorge Videla, David Rockefeller and Argentina’s Economy Minister Martinez de Hoz, Buenos Aires (1970s)

    Chile and Argentina were “dress rehearsals” for things to come: The imposition  of the IMF-World Bank Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was imposed on more than 100 countries starting in the early 1980s. (See Michel Chossudovsky, The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order, Global Research, 2003)

    A notorious example of the “free market”: Peru in August 1990  was punished for not conforming to IMF diktats: the price of fuel was hiked up 31 times and the price of bread increased more than twelve times in a single day. These reforms – carried out in the name of “democracy” – were far more devastating than those applied in Chile and Argentina under the fist of military rule.

    The March 2020 Lockdown

    And now on March 11, 2020, we enter a new phase of macro-economic destabilization, which is more devastating and destructive than 40 years of “shock treatment” and austerity measures imposed by the IMF on behalf of dominant financial interests.

    There is rupture, a historical break as well as continuity. It’s “Neoliberalism to the n-th Degree”

    Image on the left: Kissinger with Argentina’s Dictator General Jorge Videla (1970s)

    Closure of the Global Economy: Economic and Social Impacts at the Level of the Entire Planet

    Compare what is happening to the Global Economy today with the country by country “negotiated” macro-economic measures imposed by creditors under the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP). The March 11, 2020 “Global Adjustment” was not negotiated with national governments. It was imposed by a  “public / private partnership”, supported by media propaganda, and accepted, invariably by co-opted and corrupt politicians.

    “Engineered” Social Inequality and Impoverishment. The Globalization of Poverty 

    Compare the March 11, 2020 “Global Adjustment” “guidelines” affecting the entire Planet to Chile September 11, 1973.

    In a bitter irony, the same Big Money interests behind the 2020 “Global Adjustment” were actively involved in Chile (1973) and Argentina (1976). Remember “Operation Condor” and the “Dirty War” (Guerra Sucia).

    There is continuity: The same powerful financial interests including the IMF and the World Bank bureaucracies in liaison with the Federal Reserve, Wall Street and the World Economic Forum (WEF), are currently involved  in preparing and managing the “post-pandemic “New Normal” debt operations (on behalf of the creditors) under the Great Reset.

    Henry Kissinger was involved in coordinating Chile’s 9/11, 1973 “Reset”.

    The following year (1974), he was in put charge of the drafting of the “National Strategic Security Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) which identified depopulation as  “the highest priority in US foreign policy towards the Third World”.

    The Thrust of “Depopulation” under the Great Reset? 

    Today, Henry Kissinger is a firm supporter alongside the Gates Foundation (which is also firmly committed to depopulation) of the Great Reset under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF).Global Research Weekender: What Is WEF’s “The Great Reset” and Why Should We be Worried?

    No need to negotiate with national  governments or carry out “regime change”. The March 11, 2020 lockdown project constitutes a “Global Adjustment” which triggers bankruptcies, unemployment and privatization on a much larger scale affecting in one fell swoop the national economies of more than 150 countries.

    And this whole process is presented to public opinion as a means to combating the “killer virus” which, according to the CDC and the WHO is similar to seasonal influenza. (Viruses A, B) (See Chapter III)

    The Hegemonic Power Structure of Global Capitalism 

    Big Money including the billionaire foundations are the driving force. It’s a complex alliance of  Wall Street and the Banking establishment, The Big Oil and Energy Conglomerates, the so-called “Defense Contractors”, Big Pharma, the Biotech Conglomerates, the Corporate Media, the Telecom, Communications and Digital Technology Giants, together with a network of think tanks, lobby groups, research labs, etc. The ownership of intellectual property  also plays a central role.

    This powerful digital-financial decision-making network also involves major creditor and banking institutions: The Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank (ECB), the IMF, the World Bank, the regional development banks, and the Basel based Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which plays a key strategic role.

    By far the most powerful financial entities are the giant investment portfolio conglomerates including Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street and Fidelity. They control: “… a combined 20 trillion dollars in managed assets…. Conservatively counting, a 4 to 5-fold leverage power ( i.e. some US$ 80 to 100 trillion)” these powerful financial conglomerates have a leverage in excess of the the World’s  GDP which is of the order of about 82 trillion dollars. (See analysis by Peter Koenig)

    In turn, the upper echelons of the US State apparatus (and Washington’s Western Allies) are directly or indirectly involved, including the  Pentagon, US Intelligence (and its research labs), the Health authorities, Homeland Security and the US State Department (including US embassies in over 150 countries).

    The “Real Economy” and “Big Money”

    Why are these Covid lockdown policies spearheading bankruptcy, poverty and unemployment?

    Global capitalism is not monolithic. There is indeed “A Class Conflict” “between the super-rich and the vast majority of the World population.

    But there is also intense rivalry within the capitalist system. Namely a conflict between “Big Money Capital” and what might be described as “Real Capitalism” which consists of corporations in different areas of productive activity at the national and regional levels. It also includes small and medium sized enterprises.

    What is ongoing is a process of concentration of wealth (and control of advanced technologies) unprecedented in World history, whereby the financial establishment, (i.e. the multibillion dollar creditors) are slated to appropriate the real assets of both bankrupt companies as well as State assets.

    The “Real Economy” constitutes “the economic landscape” of  real economic activity: productive assets, agriculture, industry, services, economic and social infrastructure, investment, employment, etc. The real economy at the global and national levels is being targeted by the lockdown and closure of economic activity. The Global Money financial institutions are the “creditors” of the real economy.

    Global Governance: Towards a Totalitarian State

    The individuals and organizations involved in the October 18, 2019 201 Simulation are now involved in the actual management of the crisis once it went live on January 30th,  2020 under the WHO’s  Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), which in turn set the stage for the February 2020 financial crisis and the March Lockdown.

    The lockdown and closure of national economies has triggered several waves of  mass unemployment coupled with the engineered bankruptcy (applied Worldwide) of  small and medium sized enterprises.

    All of which is spearheaded by the installation of a global totalitarian State which is intent upon breaking all forms of protest and resistance.

    The Covid vaccination program (including the embedded digital passport) is an integral part of  a global totalitarian regime. (see Chapter VIII)  The  infamous ID2020? is “an electronic ID program that uses generalized vaccination as a platform for digital identity. The program harnesses existing birth registration and vaccination operations to provide newborns with a portable and persistent biometrically-linked digital identity.red zones, face masks, social distancing, lockdown” (Peter Koenig, March 12, 2020)

    The World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset”

    The same powerful creditors which triggered the Covid Global Debt Crisis are now establishing a  “New Normal” which essentially consists in imposing what the World Economic Forum describes as “The Great Reset”

    Using COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions to push through this transformation, the Great Reset is being rolled out under the guise of a ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ in which older enterprises are to be driven to bankruptcy or absorbed into monopolies, effectively shutting down huge sections of the pre-COVID economy. Economies are being ‘restructured’ and many jobs will be carried out by AI-driven machines.

    The jobless (and there will be many) would be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts (indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely to the financial institutions helping to drive this Great Reset. The WEF says the public will ‘rent’ everything they require: stripping the right of ownership under the guise of ‘sustainable consumption’ and ‘saving the planet’. Of course, the tiny elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything. (Colin Todhunter,  Dystopian Great Reset, November 9, 2020)

    Push the Reset Button

    The World Economic Forum’s Great Reset has been long in the making. “Push the reset button” with a view to saving the World Economy was announced by WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab in January 2014, six years prior to the onslaught of the Covid 19 pandemic.

    “What we want to do in Davos this year [2014] is to Push the Reset Button, The World is much too much caught in a crisis mode.”

    Two years later in a 2016 interview with the Swiss French language TV network (RTS), Klaus Schwab talked about implanting microchips in human bodies, which in  essence is the basis of the “experimental” Covid mRNA vaccine. “What we see is a kind of fusion of the physical, digital and biological world” said Klaus Schwab.

    Schwab explained that human beings will soon receive a chip which will be implanted in their bodies in order to merge with the digital World. (listen to interview in French, with subtitles)

    RTS: “When will that happen?

    KS: “Certainly in the next ten years.

    “We could imagine that we will implant them in our brain or in our skin”.

    “And then we can imagine that there is direct communication between the brain and the digital World”.

    The RTS Interview with Klaus Schwab is featured in the first few minutes of the video below

    June 2020. The WEF officially announces the Great Reset

    “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future” — Klaus Schwab, WEF (June 2020)

    What is envisaged under “the Great Reset” is a scenario whereby the global creditors will have appropriated by 2030 the World’s wealth, while impoverishing large sectors of the World Population.

    In 2030 “You’ll own nothing, And you’ll be happy.” (see video below)

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=ER04dbt5p74

    The United Nations: An Instrument of Global Governance on Behalf of an Unelected Public / Private Partnership

    The UN system is also complicit. It has endorsed “global governance” and The Great Reset.

    While UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres rightfully acknowledges that the pandemic is “more than a health crisis”, no meaningful analysis or debate under UN auspices as to the real causes of this crisis has been undertaken.

    According to a September 2020 UN Report:

    “Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. The lives of billions of people have been disrupted. In addition to the health impacts, COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated deep inequalities … It has affected us as individuals, as families, communities and societies. It has had an impact on every generation, including on those not yet born. The crisis has highlighted fragilities within and among nations, as well as in our systems for mounting a coordinated global response to shared threats. (UN Report)

    The far-reaching decisions which triggered social and economic destruction Worldwide are not mentioned. No debate in the UN Security Council. Consensus among all Five Permanent Members of the UNSC.]

    V the Virus is casually held responsible for the process of economic destruction.

    The World Economic Forum’s “public-private partnership” project entitled “Reimagine and Reset our World” has been endorsed by the United Nations.

    Flash back to George Kennan and the Truman Doctrine in the late 1940s. Kennan believed that the UN provided a useful way to “connect power with morality,” using morality, as a means to rubber-stamp America’s “humanitarian wars”.

    The Covid crisis and the lockdown measures are the culmination of a historical process.

    The lockdown and closure of the global economy are “weapons of mass destruction” which in the real sense of the word “destroy people’s lives”.  

    What we are dealing with are extensive “crimes against humanity”.

    President Joe Biden and the “Great Reset”

    Joe Biden is a groomed politician, a trusted proxy, serving the interests of the financial establishment.

    Let’s not forget that Joe Biden was a firm supporter of the Invasion of Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein “had weapons of mass destruction”. “The American People were deceived into this war”, said Senator Dick Durbin. Do not let yourself be deceived again by Joe Biden.

    Evolving acronyms. 9/11, GWOT, WMD and now COVID

    Biden was rewarded for having supported the invasion of Iraq.

    During the election campaign, Fox News described Biden as a “socialist” who threatens capitalism:  “Joe Biden’s disturbing connection to the socialist ‘Great Reset’ movement”.

    While this is absolute nonsense, many “progressives” and anti-war activists have endorsed Joe Biden without analyzing the broader consequences of a Biden presidency.

    “The Great Reset” is socially divisive, it’s racist. It is a diabolical project of Global Capitalism. It constitutes a threat to the large majority of American workers as well as to small and medium sized enterprises. It also undermines several important sectors of the capitalist economy.

    The Biden Presidency and the Lockdown

    With regard to Covid, Biden is firmly committed to the “Second Wave”, i.e. maintaining the partial closing down of both the US economy and the global economy as a means to “combating the killer virus”.

    Joe Biden will push for the adoption of  the WEF’s “Great Reset” both nationally and internationally, with devastating economic and social consequences. The 2021 World Economic Forum (WEF) meetings scheduled for Summer 2021 in Singapore will focus on the implementation of  the “Great Reset”. 

    President Biden is a firm supporter of the Corona lockdown.

    He not only endorses the adoption of staunch Covid-19 lockdown policies, his administration is committed to the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” and the ‘vaccine passport” as an integral part of US foreign policy, to be implemented or more correctly “imposed” Worldwide.

    In turn, the Biden-Harris administration will attempt to override all forms of popular resistance to the corona virus lockdown.

    What is unfolding is a new and destructive phase of US imperialism. It’s a totalitarian project of economic and social engineering, which ultimately destroys people’s lives Worldwide. This “novel” neoliberal agenda using the corona lockdown as an instrument of social oppression has been endorsed by President Biden and the leadership of the Democratic Party.

    The Biden White House is committed to the instatement of what David Rockefeller called “Global Governance” ****

    It should be noted that the protest movement in the US, against the lockdown is weak. In fact there is no coherent grassroots national protest movement. Why? Because “progressive forces” including leftist intellectuals, NGO leaders, trade union and labor leaders –most of whom are aligned with the Democratic Party– have from the outset been supportive of the lockdown. And they are also supportive of Joe Biden.

    In a bitter irony, antiwar activists as well as the critics of neoliberalism have endorsed Joe Biden.

    Unless there is significant protest and organized resistance, nationally and internationally, the Great Reset will be embedded in both domestic and US foreign policy agendas of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration.

    It’s what you call Imperialism with a “Human Face”.

    Where is the Protest Movement against this Unelected Corona “public-private partnership”?

    The same philanthropic foundations (Rockefeller, Ford, Soros, et al) which are the unspoken architects of the “Great Reset” and “Global Governance” are also involved in (generously) financing Climate Change activism, the Extinction Rebellion, the World Social Forum, Black Lives Matters, LGBT, et al.

    What this means is that the grassroots of these social movements are often misled and betrayed by their leaders who are routinely coopted by a handful of corporate foundations.

    The World Social Forum (WSF), which is commemorating its 21st anniversary brings together committed anti-globalization  activists from all over the World. But who controls the WSF? From the outset in January 2001, it was (initially) funded by the Ford Foundation.

    It’s what you call “manufactured dissent” (far more insidious than Herman-Chomsky’s “manufactured consent”).

    The objective of the financial elites “has been to fragment the people’s movement into a vast “do it yourself” mosaic. Activism tends to be piecemeal. There is no integrated anti-globalization anti-war movement.” (Michel Chossudovsky, Manufacturing Dissent, Global Research, 2010)

    In the words of McGeorge Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation (1966-1979):

    “Everything the [Ford] Foundation did could be regarded as “making the World safe for capitalism”, reducing social tensions by helping to comfort the afflicted, provide safety valves for the angry, and improve the functioning of government

    The Protest movement against the Great Reset which constitutes a “Global Coup d’état” requires a process of Worldwide mobilization:

    .”There can be no meaningful mass movement when dissent is generously funded by those same corporate interests [WEF, Gates, Ford, et al] which are the target of the protest movement”.

    Today, the dangers of military escalation are beyond description.

    What is now happening in Ukraine has serious geopolitical implications. It could lead us into a World War III Scenario.

    It is important that a peace process be initiated with a view to preventing escalation. 

    Global Research does not support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    The history of this war must be understood. The bombing and shelling led by Ukraine’s Armed Forces directed against the people of Donbass started eight years ago, resulting in destruction of residential areas and mass civilian casualties.

    A  bilateral Peace Agreement is required.Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, March 1, 2022

    Economic Warfare

    A complex agenda of economic and social warfare under the auspices of the COVID-19 “Lockdown” was launched on March 11, 2020 against 193 member states of the United Nations. The stated objective was to combat the spread of the virus “with a view to saving lives”.

    Amply documented this initiative emanated from the upper echelons of the financial establishment. It’s intent was not to save lives, quite the opposite. It involved a complex decision-making procedure requiring the cooptation of more than 190 national governments.

    Its unspoken objective was to trigger economic and social chaos, resulting in bankruptcies, unemployment and poverty. 

    Confinement of the labour force, the face mask, social distancing, the closure of schools and universities, the vaccine mandate, etc.

    The Fundamental question: What is its relationship to the geopolitics and strategies of global warfare. How does it relate to US foreign policy and the US-NATO military agenda? 

    From a strategic standpoint, the Covid-19 Lockdowns and Mandates constitute an act of “Economic Warfare”. 

    Unprecedented in World history, this diabolical project affecting more than 7 billion people Worldwide was implemented simultaneously and concurrently in the course of the last two years with the planning and strategic deployment of US, NATO and military allied forces against Russia and China.  

    Two Seemingly Different Crises are Unfolding Simultaneously

    • The dangers of global warfare directed against Russia and China,
    • The Covid mandates directed against more than 7 billion people. 

    These two major crises which are occurring simultaneously are intimately related:

    1.  The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the militarization of Eastern Europe. And now the EU has taken the decision to side with US-NATO against Russia following a decision of the President of the European Commission.
    2. The ongoing crisis pertaining to the so-called Covid mandates over the course of the last two years which have undermined  the economic, social and political fabric of 194 sovereign nation states which are no longer sovereign. In turn, the Covid mRNA Vaccine has as triggered a Worldwide  upward trend of mortality and morbidity.

    The Same Powerful Financial Actors are Behind these Two Interrelated Crises

    The financial elites call the shots. It’s a de facto World War III agenda which consists in imposing a system of global governance.

    The Covid Lockdown including the imposition of the mRNA Vaccine are part of a Hegemonic Agenda which consists in the subordination of sovereign nation states. They are instruments of submission.

    In the present context, the Covid Agenda is an integral part of the broader military, intelligence and strategic arsenal.

    The Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (proposed by the WEF) consist in imposing in the words of the late David Rockefeller

    “The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers ….[which] is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” (quoted by Aspen Times, August 15, 2011, emphasis added)

    The Covid Crisis Opens up a New Strategy of Economic Warfare

    The Covid mandates (applied simultaneously Worldwide) constitute an instrument of economic and social warfare which is unprecedented in world history. Broadly speaking they are instruments of imperialism.

    Undermining the national economy of  an Enemy Nation is the unspoken objective of modern warfare. Historically, the modus operandi of economic warfare has been: 

    “to weaken an adversary’s economy by denying the adversary access to necessary physical, financial, and technological resources or by otherwise inhibiting its ability to benefit from trade, financial, and technological exchanges with other countries.

    The “covid mandates” imposed by dominant financial interests go far beyond the existing strategies of economic warfare.

    Entire countries have been weakened and destabilized without the need for “color revolutions” or military intervention. 

    Countries which are categorized as “enemies” of America have complied and endorsed the covid mandates, including Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. Cuba’s economy has been literally destroyed. (And its socialist government has accepted the Covid mandates without batting an eyelid).

    In so doing these “Enemies of America” have accepted a process of economic destabilization and social engineering which by all accounts is far more destructive than the peace-meal US economic sanctions imposed on non-compliant governments.

    Global Debt and the Destabilization of the Nation State

    We are at the crossroads of the most serious global debt crisis in World history.

    The Covid Crisis is part of a Big Money Agenda, the objective of which is to ultimately trigger bankruptcies and massive debts, with a view to destabilizing the economic structures of sovereign nation-states.

    The global debt crisis resulting from the lockdown measures has resulted in pushing up the levels of public debt (national, provincial, municipal).  Fiscal and monetary structures are increasingly controlled by external creditors. Social Democracy is dead. What was once as “The Welfare State” is slated for privatization.

    Dollarization

    Indebtedness is a de facto instrument of conquest and economic warfare. It’s the power of the US dollar. The external creditors call the shots, The Endgame is to erase the Nation State and impose a system of “Global Governance”.

    From a strategic standpoint, the Covid-19 agenda plays a key role.

    It weakens national governments, it installs corrupt politicians under the direct control of the financial establishment (eg. Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, et al).  In “enemy countries” such as Venezuela and Iran, Big Money interests take  control of vast petroleum and natural gas resources.

    A World of Lies  

    We are at a very dangerous crossroads. At the time of writing, Russia has invaded Ukraine.

    We live in a World of lies which prevails over facts.

    The imminent dangers of WW III are muted by a wave of censorship, the intent of which is to silence the independent media.

    Corrupt Politicians are Groomed to believe in their own Lies. These lies (including fake science) are embedded in a complex and chaotic decision-making process involving US intelligence, the security apparatus, Big Pharma, the ICT giants, the UN, the WHO, the World Bank, IMF, BIS, Pentagon, powerful lobby groups as well as powerful actors within the financial and banking establishment.

    We are no longer dealing with the contradictions of the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente diplomacy which had been carefully crafted by Chancellor Otto Bismarck, and which eventually led to the outbreak of World War I.

    Today’s overlapping and contradictory alliances have led to a muddled and dangerous geopolitics which is beyond description.

    Simulation of a Cyber Attack against the Global Financial System. Israel’s Operation “Collective Strength”/By Prof. Chossudovsky

    In 2020-2021, the World Economic Forum (WEF) sponsored a strategic simulation of a global cyber attack entitled exercise Concept 2021.  The WEF simulation consisted in:

     “An international capacity building initiative aimed at raising the global cyber resilience”. The participants included high tech companies, numerous banks and financial institutions, internet companies, cyber security agencies, corporate and government media, think tanks, law enforcement agencies including Interpol with representatives from 48 countries including Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union.

    Israel’s “Collective Strength” Simulation

    On December 9, 2021, a similar exercise was conducted in Jerusalem under the auspices of Israel’s Ministry of Finance. With the exception of Reuters, this event was not reported by the international media, nor was it formally acknowledged by the Israel’s Ministry of Finance.

    The Israeli sponsored simulation focussed on the dangers of “a major cyberattack on the global financial system in an attempt to increase cooperation that could help to minimise any potential damage to financial markets and banks”. (See Steven Sheer, Reuters, December 9, 2021)

    The objective of this exercise remains unclear.

    The exercise entitled “Collective Strength” was attended by representatives from ten countries including Israel (the host country), the US, the UK, the UAE, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Thailand. Senior staff members from the IMF, the World Bank and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) were also present.

    The Finance Ministry’s chief economist, Shira Greenberg, headed the Israeli team. The exercise was “further evidence of Israel’s global leadership” in the field of financial cyber defense, she said.

    “The unique and groundbreaking exercise held today showed the importance of coordinated global action by governments together with central banks in the face of financial cyber threats,” Greenberg said. (Times of Israel, December 9, 2021)

    Image: Reuters

    According to Reuters

    The simulated “war game”, as Israel’s Finance Ministry called it and planned over the past year, evolved over 10 days, with sensitive data emerging on the Dark Web. The simulation also used fake news reports that in the scenario caused chaos in global markets and a run on banks.

    The simulation — likely caused by what officials called “sophisticated” players — featured several types of attacks that impacted global foreign exchange and bond markets, liquidity, integrity of data and transactions between importers and exporters.  …

    The participants discussed multilateral policies to respond to the crisis, including a coordinated bank holiday, debt repayment grace periods, SWAP/REPO agreements and coordinated delinking from major currencies.

    Rahav Shalom-Revivo, head of Israel’s financial cyber engagements, said international collaboration between finance ministries and international organizations “is key for the resilience of the financial eco-system.”  (Steven Sheer, Reuters, December 9, 2021, emphasis added)

    What was contemplated by Israel was very similar to the WEF’s  Cyber Polygon 2021 exercise which consisted in:  “…A scenario of economic and social chaos involving the disruption of communications systems, the internet, financial and money transactions (including SWIFT), the power grid, global transportation, commodity trade, etc.”

    It is worth noting that Klaus Schwab, founder and Executive Director of the WEF and architect of the “Great Reset” had intimated that :

    “The frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole. The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.” (emphasis added)

    There was a definite geopolitical dimension to Israel’s Cyber Attack scenario. There were no representatives from several major economic powers including Russia, China and  Japan.

    The World Economic Forum (WEF) which had sponsored the earlier cyber attack simulations in 2020-2021 involving the participation of 48 countries was not present at the event sponsored by Israel’s Ministry of Finance.

  • COVID-Omicron is Killing Christmas. The Roadmap Towards a Worldwide Financial Crash, Inflation, Digitization/ By Peter Koenig

    COVID-Omicron is Killing Christmas. The Roadmap Towards a Worldwide Financial Crash, Inflation, Digitization/ By Peter Koenig

    By Peter Koenig

    Global Research, January 02, 2022

    First published on Global Research on December 24, 2021

    Omicron, a so-called covid-variant, has never been isolated. Whatever the current narrative – 193 UN member governments tell you in lockstep, what the mainstream media tell you in lockstep – and what the majority in the street of the 193 betrayed UN member countries believe in lockstep – is a Big Lie.

    People dying from Omicron is a Big Lie.

    People may die from multiple other causes, like from the mRNA-vaxxes that ain’t vaccines but gene altering, immune system killing injections – and the bought medical establishment, mainly but not exclusively in the west, attributes their death, for almost two years now, to covid, and its so-called “variants”; killer variants that is – mind you, and it can never be repeated enough, variants that have never isolated and never been identified.

    First Delta, then Omicron. Neither one of the two has ever been isolated. The vast majority of people of – let me repeat it, of 193 UN member countries – swallow the lie with fear and respect, as if it were the truth, as if it were impossible that their governments lies to them, as if it was impossible that the entire UN system lies to the world. It should be impossible. But it ain’t.

    Yes, it’s difficult to fathom. But eventually we must, otherwise humanity will sink deep into a hole of no return. The so-called Omicron “variant’ made a sudden appearance, out of nowhere, to eventually put the origin conveniently into southern Africa, where nobody wants to dig and trace to find out the truth. So, it’s made hard to find the spot where it was born.

    Yet it was invented just in time for Christmas. It will allow lockdowns, or semi-lockdowns, social distancing, separating families on the western world’s most revered Holiday – it will make people sad, some angry, but most of the people will be again more intimidated, more scared – scared in like – what’s next? – But they will follow orders. They will have given in a notch further. They will have become an inch closer to full capitulation and submission to a coming tyranny. Mind you, tyranny is already upon us, but not all have realized it yet.

    The vaxxed will blame the unvaxxed, and the societal separation; the social division within countries, withing groups of acquaintances, within friends even within families will continue. It’s the thousands-of-years old axiom, ‘divide to conquer’.

    To stop the “dangerous and contagious” Omicron from spreading uncontrolled and filling hospital beds to unmanageable levels, the Netherlands has just decreed a total lockdown until 14 January 2022, as reported by the Spanish newspaper “El Pais”

    This means, the Dutch government has decreed a strict confinement, starting on Sunday 19 December at 5 AM, to last until 14 January 2022.

    All hotels, restaurants cultural events, all non-essential shops, sports events, gyms are locked down and / or canceled. Families can receive only 2 adults above the age of 13 during the holidays.   

    Will other countries follow suit? – Maybe.

    All the drama juices have to be squeezed out of Omicron. It’s a last chance to oppress people, to make them believe what is not.

    It is amazing how obedient the populace is, and how they believe in these lies which are become increasingly more obvious as the narrative makes less and less sense, actually contradicts itself. But people still prefer not to open their eyes.

    Curfew and obedience are more convenient than opposition and seeking the truth.

    And the truth is right in front of our eyes. There are so many contradictions right in front of us, we see them, we laugh at them, yet we follow them – by the letter. Yes, it’s convenient. “Yes”, we say, “all this will go away”. No, it won’t go away. We were not born to claim our comfort as our God-given right. Lest we have forgotten, we have to fight for our freedom.

    If “they” – the obscure beasts behind the WEF, the WHO, the Gates, the Rockefellers, et al – succeed once more in bringing the world into lockdown, it will most likely be the last time. As people shall rise – they shall rise way above the level of authority that imposes tyranny and dictatorship based on nothing, but on control, on their desire to destroy everything, meaning the current economy, the livelihoods of billions of people and to grab the assets made free by countless bankruptcies for themselves, the small elite.

    And then –

    What about the Cyber Polygon? 

    A polygon, in geometry, is a closed curve consisting of a set of line segments (sides) connected such that no two segments cross. The simplest polygons are triangles (three sides), quadrilaterals (four sides), and pentagons (five sides.

    In the case of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the term polygon is used for a cyber pandemic simulation which took place in July 2021 as a virtual event. It was what they call a training exercise for what may come, according to Klaus Schwab, namely:

    “A Frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber-attack [that] could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole. The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.” 

    The WEF Managing Director, Jeremy Jurgens, says,

    “I believe that there will be another crisis. It will be more significant. It will be faster than what we’ve seen with COVID. The impact will be greater, and as a result the economic and social implications will be even more significant.”

    See this quoted in the full article by Michel Chossudovsky entitled:

    Towards Another Devastating Worldwide Crisis? The WEF’s “Cyber Attack With Covid-like Characteristics”. Paralysis of the Power Supply, Communications, Transportation?

    It sounds very much like the simulation Event 201 of October 18, 2019 that took place in NYC, was also sponsored by the WEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It prepared the world for what was to become, namely, the SARS-CoV-2, renamed by WHO into Covid 19. It has so far destroyed the economy like no other event, either natural or man-made, in recent history.  

    The Cyber Polygon would do even more and even faster. That’s their plan. It would virtually bring the key elements of the economy to a halt and shift remaining resources to the top. It would also cause unspeakable suffering for hundreds of millions, for billions of people, especially when it will take place in the northern winter months, with food supply chains interrupted, heating system breaking down – poverty, cold, famine – plenty of reasons for people to die, those who so far have escaped the poisonous mRNA vaxxes.

    This may well be the plan.

    May it be the reason why on December 20, 2021, the WEF decided to postpone its Annual Davos Meeting from January 2022 to early summer 2022? See this?

    Do we the people have time and the will power to wake up, stand up and prevent the polygon cyber-attack?

    Does Klaus Schwab and those above him, who control and direct the WEF, actually know that their narrative is becoming ever more controversial, ever more contradictory within their own ranks? They may.

    They also may not care.

    As Bill Gates once said, years ago – and I’m paraphrasing – “Even if I’m gone, there will be someone else stepping into my shoes. The system is so well established and in place, there will be no vacuum left open”.

    The same applies most likely also to Klaus Schwab and many of those visible evil spirited people.

    Part of the cult game they have to play is “visibility”. They have to basically tell the people, look this is what we are gonna do.

    In order to succeed, hey have to launch the spell for people to see. What they see is so unbelievable, they won’t believe it. But the satanic cult has fulfilled its duty.

    Covid-Awakening: “It takes only 5% of the population to start a revolution”

    I believe the covid-awakened around the globe make up well above 20% to 30% of the population – a conservative guess – all we need to manage is to connect them in solidarity with the entire 8 billion population of Planet Earth.

    And to organize them. And to make sure that those who specialize in “divide to conquer”, are neutralized, have no chance.

    Who may bring us together to fight on a common front?

    Dr. Reiner Fuellmich has been a pioneer in pursuing justice by what he calls the pursuit of a Nuremberg 2.0 Process.

    That reminds of the Nuremberg Process, the real one, that lasted about a year, just after WWII (1946-47)

    Today’s state of the world – a WWIII scenario – even without tanks, guns and nuclear bombs, warrants another Nuremberg tribunal – Nuremberg 2.0

    Attorney Reiner Fuellmich on Nuremberg 2.0: Justice will Not Come Through the Courts but by the People Rising Up.

    Dr. Fuellmich recently revealed much of what his Corona Investigative Committee has found in a meeting in Poland, and he made clear, similarly of what many analysts have said for months – the judicial system is owned, run and controlled by the Globalists, and justice will not be found in today’s courts, whether it is Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria – the entire European Union or the US of A., or most any other country of the world.

    Dr. Fuellmich stated:

    “The only way to end this is by the people rising up and telling the authorities that this is the end of the line.”

    “It is not the courts of law. The courts of law, maybe we can use them to clean things up. But I am afraid that they are not even good for that. Because they are so infiltrated by the other side that we’re going to have to setup a whole new judicial system.”  

    The original Nuremberg trials after WWII did NOT bring justice against the Globalists who funded both sides of the war, as the rich leaders of corporations like IBM, Ford and Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, were never tried, let alone convicted for their crimes against humanity that allowed Hitler and Nazism to rise to power. They were largely responsible for the more than 80 million war, or war-related deaths.

    Some of the Nazi doctors who were just “following orders” were tried, convicted, and executed, but the ones giving the orders were not.

    If you haven’t seen “Judgement at Nuremberg”, an excellent 1961 courtroom movie, with a stellar occupation, including Maximilian Schell’s Academy Award winning performance for his role as the German Defense Attorney, it is well worth watching.

    Attorney in Hollywood’s presentation of the original Nuremberg Trials, it is well worth a look, as it seems to be pretty close to what was actually said during the trials.

    https://www.bitchute.com/embed/rlhLyq3pMsGx/

    But this is very important work that Dr. Fuellmich and his team have been doing, nevertheless, because they are exposing the entire COVID conspiracy, and as he stated,

    “There are no more conspiracy theories left. They have all become true and are no longer theories.”

    Regarding the Nuremberg 2.0 trials – Reiner Fuellmich said,

    “The most important message that this trial is going to send, is the one that is being sent through the witnesses who will explain what happened to them, what kind of damage they suffered, how their businesses were destroyed, how they lost a loved one, how they lost a kidney maybe, because of the side effects, the adverse effects.”

    And – “Rise up, and tell them to go to hell. Because that’s where they come from.” 

    Then there is the Pfizer Confidential “Killer Report”, a Bombshell

    “By February of 2021, within about 2 ½ months after vaxxing began, Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of deaths allegedly caused by the vaccine and tens of thousands of reported adverse events, including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders.” (Election Wizard)

    These are Pfizer’s own data. 

    The Pfizer Confidential report:

    “was released as part of a Freedom of Information (FOI) procedure provides data on deaths and adverse events recorded by Pfizer from the outset of the vaccine project in December 2020 to the end of February 2021, namely a very short period (at most two and a half months).

    In a twisted irony, the data revealed in this “insider report” refutes the official vaccine narrative peddled by the governments and the WHO.

    It also confirms the analysis of numerous medical doctors and scientists who have revealed the devastating consequences of the mRNA “vaccine”. (Michel Chossudovsky)

    The Pfizer Confidential report reviewed by Global Research “is a de facto Mea Culpa on the part of Pfizer. “Yes, it is a Killer Vaccine”.

    Financial Crash, Inflation, Digitization

    Speculations, the ever-growing bubble of money-generated out of zilch, as well as the ever-growing consequential inflation leads to think that a mammoth western-triggered financial crash is in the offing.

    The money spent in rescuing big corporations, banks and other financial institutions with US dollars and the dollar’s little brother, the Euro, is tremendous. It is indicative that nobody cares, indicative that the western monetary system, as we know it is entering its end round.

    See this article by William Engdahl entitled  Will the Federal Reserve Crash Global Financial Markets As a Means to Implementing Their “Great Reset”?

    The close to zero interest rates – in some cases below zero! – are a sign that we have reached the end of the line – the line being our current western unbacked Ponzi-scheme monetary system. It was to happen one day. Some of us knew it. Most serious bankers knew it, but as long as profit-taking is in the fore, the western neoliberal world closes its eyes.

    We continue working – as long as possible – towards a distorted monetary system, a totally distorted economic model, where US-dollar and Euro-based GDPs are not comparable with GDPs of Eastern countries, like China and Russia.  

    The financial crash is being exacerbated by supply chain disruptions – most of them conveniently ascribed to covid, so as to hide one more wanton element to bring the economy own, to bring more bankruptcies, more miseries and leave more cash and nominally (share value-wise) worthless assets to be shoveled to the top.

    This sets the stage for central banks – directed by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland (location is important, as we will find out in the course of the coming years) – to bring down the debt-bloated system and prepare their Great Reset of the world financial system.

    A major financial component of the Great Reset will be digitization of money – and eventually through the same “chip”, or as it were, the infamous QR-code – digitization of everything.

    With every digitalized item that is being managed through a QR-code – which eventually may be put under your skin in one way or another – already happening in Sweden on a trial basis – you – or we – will lose more and more control over our personal freedoms, our money, our sovereignty until we are totally controllable and nothing more than manipulable puppets.

    I can see the condescendingly smiling faces – “that will never happen. What is he saying this conspiracy theorist!”.

    I hope you are right. But in order to be right, we have to wake up in masses. We – the about 30% ? – already “awakened” must bond in solidarity and must unite with others to bring this nefarious, evil system down – let it not progress further.

    •  No Central Bank digital Money. We want a sovereign cash economy.
    •  No digitization of everything.
    • No QR-coding not outside and even less inside our bodies.

    Who Manipulates Global Finance? 

    Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street and Fidelity – are interlinked shareholders, controlling a combined 20 trillion dollars in managed assets, about equivalent to the US GDP, with conservatively counting, a 4 to 5-fold leverage power:

    i.e. some US$ 80 to 100 trillion = compared to the world GDP of about 82 trillion dollars equivalent.

    May this be an indication why 193 UN member countries and the UN itself march in lockstep to orders that are destroying society as we know it, the world economy as we know it, and humanity as we know it?

    Putting it all in context – we have

    (i) a thought- and mind deviating plandemic, called Covid with its endless “derivatives”, also called “variants” that may go on until the end of the UN agenda 2030 – as this is the plan. Under this mind-and scare – yes, tremendously SCARE – deviation scheme, every person is supposed to be “vaccinated” with an “experimental” gene-modifying substance that has nothing to do with vaccine, but much more to do with bringing about massive death, like in an often Gates and Rockefeller-propagated eugenics program;

    (ii) a planned demolition of the existing financial system and world economy; 

    (iii) total control of humanity and of “things” through full digitization and coding of everything through QR-codes in-or outside your body, including central bank issued digital money. The two countries de facto selected for this latter trial are Sweden and Switzerland; and finally,

    (iv) the decision to crash the economy is accompanied by NATO threatening to attack Russia and China. In other words, initiating a Hot war, possibly a nuclear war against the two perceived and western media-promoted arch-enemies of the world, China and Russia.

    The cabal behind this idea knows very well that in such a case the outcome is not predictable and could mean total annihilation – and nobody is safe. So, it may not come to a Hot war, but it serves well for more fear mongering.

    Overarching everything – is Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s Nuremberg 2.0 Trial or trials.

    While at this point there is no jurisdiction in the world that is true to fair justice – all are bought or blackmailed – there might be the moment when a strategic majority of the world population is awake – say 30% – and can bring about a movement of solidarity that is not driven by hatred, but driven by a common goal – regaining human dignity, freedom and human and societal sovereignty.

    This time will come. The Reiner Fuellmich Team is pursing it with ardor and conviction.
