Vietnam has erased and/or frozen 86 million unverified bank accounts as the nation surrenders to the globalist Great Reset. Anyone wishing to function in society must surrender their biometric data to maintain a bank account. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) claims that the measure was a system cleanup aimed at preventing fraud. In actuality, the measure is one step closer toward a national ID system that enables the government to control its citizens’ every move.
“This is a data-cleansing revolution,” said Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Payment Department. “While the total number of bank accounts remains 200 million, by September 2025, once the legal framework is complete, all accounts without biometric data will be closed to prevent scams and fraud. After seven years of promoting non-cash payments, we are moving toward real efficiency.”
Vietnam recently implemented a nationwide digital ID (e-ID) system called VNeID that requires both citizens and foreign residents to surrender to the matrix and permit the government to store their personal information in a centralized database. Fingerprints, facial biometric data, photographs, passports, nationality, criminal records, and even medical records will be stored in the government database. Participation is not optional.
Project 06 launched in January 2022, hailed as a technological revolution to digitize the country. Project 06’s full name is the “Project on Developing Data Applications on Population, Identification, and Electronic Authentication to Serve National Digital Transformation in the 2022-2025 Period (Vision 2030),” which aligns entirely with the World Economic Forum’s plans for the Great Reset. The concept has been sold to the people as a convenience measure, but in truth, the aim is centralized, unrestrained control over the entire population.
Everything from banking to renting an apartment is linked to the digital ID. One wrong move and the government can completely erase someone from the system. One glitch in the power grid and the nation will come to a standstill. The Vietnamese government has the power to halt a person’s life instantaneously.
High-level Vietnamese officials met in Davos in January 2025, and shortly after, began voicing concern for bank accounts that were unverified through biometric data. Vietnam has been actively seeking OECD membership and signed a Memorandum of Understanding, citing that Project 06 will enable the nation to meet the OECD’s guidelines for regulatory reforms. Vietnam was one of the last nations disconnected from the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) that requires members to share banking information under the pretense of preventing tax evasion.
Vietnam signed the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters (MAAC) with the OECD in March 2023, enabling automatic exchange of tax and financial information with over 146 jurisdictions. In early 2025, shortly after Davos, Vietnam joined the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA) for Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR), broadening its commitment to AEOI and international tax transparency. In February 2025, Vietnam activated CbCR exchange relationships with 29 jurisdictions including the entire European Union.
Globalist entities defy democracy and demand the complete surrender of national sovereignty under the belief that the world population must be controlled by one centralized force. The majority of world leaders have willingly surrendered, unaware of the full extent of power a small unelected few will yield if the Great Reset succeeds.

Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, fled to America in search of a better life. Instead, Iryna was murdered in cold blood in an unprovoked attack while riding a train in North Carolina. Career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr. was arrested no fewer than 14 times before slaughtering the young woman, and now, the mainstream media is in meltdown mode as they rush to control the narrative.
Wikipedia editors have repeatedly attempted to remove the story. “Nothing is remarkable about this,” the editors at Wikipedia claim. Wikipedia was eager to cover the death of George Floyd and has enshrined his memory with a page that recognizes the global outrage that followed his death. The mainstream media has a very specific agenda and selectively chooses what narratives it wants the masses to believe.
“Decarlos Brown Jr. was failed categorically by the judicial system and the mental health services of North Carolina, and as such is not entirely to blame for what happened,” read Brown’s GoFundMe page that has since been removed. Donations to the 35-year-old homeless schizophrenic man were intended to “fight against the racism and bias against our people,” one fundraiser claimed.
Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. had a violent criminal history, including armed robbery, threats, assault, and felony larceny. He had been involuntarily institutionalized in psychiatric wards for schizophrenic outbursts. Liberal judges released Brown without bail after each arrest. The majority claimed Brown was a victim of systemic racism and undeveloped mental health resources.
🚨 NEW: Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who RELEASED 14-time criminal DeCarlos Brown Jr., is also the "Director of Operations" at Second Chance Services, a mental health and addiction clinic in Charlotte, NC.
North Carolina Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes released Brown after his 14th arrest in January 2025 based on a “written promise” that the man would return to his court hearing. Brown was arrested for misusing the 911 system during a police officer wellness check where the man told authorities that “man-made” objects were controlling his body. “Brown wanted officers to investigate this ‘man-made’ material that was inside of his body,” the affidavit said. “Officers advised Brown that the issue was medical issue and that there was nothing further they could do.” Judge Stokes also happens to act as the Director of Operations at the Second Chance Services clinic, where Brown was once held. There is a clear conflict of interest and blatant disregard for public safety.
Liberal judges refuse to prosecute violent criminals, and liberal politicians refuse to acknowledge that their cities have become overrun by these criminals who are above the law. “The public safety threat that you’re actually after is one that could be remedied well before you grind your way through a court system,” North Carolina District Attorney Spencer Merriweather said before the surveillance video was released. Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles urged media outlets not to post the video of the unprovoked attack.
Over a dozen judges released Decarlos Brown back into the public to commit new crimes over 14 times since 2014. The judges had clear evidence that this man was not fit for society. Iryna Zarutska’s murder was preventable. The system failed this young woman, and yet, the left mainstream media would like the public to have sympathy for her murderer. It is clear that the bleeding-heart liberals have a cause closer to their hearts than Ukraine or women’s rights. The media attempted to silence the story, and other stories that are increasingly common as liberal judges have been appointed to side with criminals.
Adult men are legally permitted to harass and intimidate young girls in the United Kingdom. Liberal governments insist that migrants should be above the law in all scenarios. These men are unvetted and from non-Western cultures that have an entirely different view of women. Crime has significantly spiked, and yet, the courts are punishing women who attempt to defend themselves from potentially dangerous men.
In Scotland, a 21-year-old migrant approached and began to verbally harass two young sisters. The man used the opportunity to gain 15 minutes of social media stardom and began filming the two young girls after intimidating them to the point where they are visibly upset and screaming for him to leave them alone. “I’m f**** 12 mate. You’re f***** battering kids mate. Coz you’re f***** kid bashers,” the younger sister said. The older sister valiantly protected her sister and warned the adult male, “Don’t f***** touch my little sister she’s f***** 12.” The foreign man continued to harass the girls and urged the children to “show the knife” as he filmed.
Authorities responded to the incident by arresting the 14-year-old girl for wielding a knife and an axe. The man was not arrested or questioned. Instead, he was permitted to film, harass, and publicly humiliate these young sisters for his own amusement because the UK government has abandoned all rationale.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 7.40 pm on Saturday, we received a report of a female youth with a bladed weapon in St Ann Lane, Dundee. Officers attended and a 14-year-old girl was charged in connection. She will be reported to the relevant authorities.” There was no mention of the man.
The man will not be charged under UK law. Any adult who saw an adult harassing children would immediately intervene. The UK government, however, intervened on behalf of the migrant and accused the schoolgirl of criminal mischief. This is the new norm across Europe—migrants are above the law.
Around 16% of the UK’s population is foreign-born. MIGRANTS COMMIT ONE IN FOUR SEXUAL OFFENSES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.There are countless stories of grooming gangs and rape across Europe, and the men are never charged. In fact, the Labour Party covered up the massive grooming gang scandal that was carried out by Pakistani nationals because they did not want negative press. The women, or young girls in this instance, are prohibited from self-defense. Where is the outrage?

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I just had to write to say thank you. Gold is going up with stocks, despite everyone else being indoctrinated with ineffective theories. They keep saying the same stupid shit and pay no attention to the fact that they have continually been wrong. These people are psychopaths and have cost people a fortune and ruined marriages, as I saw with a friend. The stock market and gold have risen with the highest interest rates, the dollar, and it all depends on what you call the outside wildcard. Anyone who doesn’t invite you to these interviews isn’t worth my time. They cannot be trusted in my book.
This is why they make movies about you and no other analyst. Can people invest in the Hollywood movie being made about you? I know people invest in film. If this is about your career and promoting cycles, I think everyone should be chipping in. The world needs to be exposed to your work. You are the only one who makes common sense economically, and you know geopolitics like the back of your hand. They are running out of ideas for films. Their endless Superman movies clearly evidence that. Will there be such an offering to invest in your film?
FS
ANSWER: I am not sure if there will be any offerings to invest in the Hollywood version. I do not get involved in fundraising. I am supposed to have the script in a couple of weeks. The head of the studio is coming to visit in a few weeks. I know they are very serious about this, and they see it as an opportunity to showcase cyclical analysis to the world, which is why I agreed to participate. A top writer is now doing the final polish, from what I have been told.
They wanted something like The Big Short. I was told that the film brought in approximately $133.4 million worldwide against a production budget of $28 million. Obviously, this is why people invest in producing films.
I am not sure who will be playing me in the movie. I believe they then pitch it to A-class actors, so the whole cost thing, I am sure, depends on who they get. I do believe they have most of the funding in place. These people are big producers, not first-timers. When I learn more, I will let everyone know. I am uncertain whether there will be any opportunities for investors. I am not familiar with that market.
I will do an update on the markets on the Private Blog this week.

The parliamentary government in France has once again collapsed, and right now no one knows exactly what is going to happen. Prime Minister François Bayrou’s minority government has been taken down following a 364-194 parliamentary vote of no confidence.
(L-R) Prime Minister François Bayrou, President Emmanuel Macron
Increasingly, French political groups are now calling for French President Emmanuel Macron to resign and reorganize with new elections. However, at this moment no one is sure what steps will come next.
FRANCE – PARIS — French lawmakers toppled Prime Minister François Bayrou’s minority government on Monday evening, thrusting the country deeper into a political crisis that will force President Emmanuel Macron to name a fifth premier in less than two years.
Three hundred and sixty four lawmakers voted to oust Bayrou, while 194 supported him. Macron’s office hasn’t said whether he will speak tonight.
But Macron has limited options to steer France out of this crisis. He is reportedly leaning toward appointing another prime minister — the fifth since January 2024 — but a new premier would face the same intractable parliament. So too would a technical government made up of civil servants.
Another snap election looks unappetizing, though, as it could easily deliver another hung parliament.
In an extreme scenario, Macron could even resign, but that’s highly unlikely given his past statements. (read more)

In July, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong (Biden Appointee) ruled that ICE agents were conducting “roving patrols” within Los Angels and making arrests without “reasonable suspicion” that their targets were in the country illegally. Frimpong then prohibited immigration officials in the Los Angeles area from using race, location targeting, language, affiliations and other commonsense measures to stop and question suspected illegal aliens.
Today, in a 6-3 ruling the Supreme Court put a stay on the lower court order and essentially unrestricted the ICE and CBP officials so they can carry out their immigration enforcement efforts. Judge Bret Kavanaugh wrote the concurring opinion of the majority. [COURT RULING HERE] The DEI Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Brown (gay, latina, black) once again dissented.
Border Czar Tom Homan along with ICE and CBP are free to start using all prior factors in their immigration enforcement actions.
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has lifted restrictions that barred the Trump administration from carrying out immigration-related raids in the Los Angeles area based on broad criteria such as speaking Spanish or gathering at locations day laborers often congregate.
The justices, who apparently divided 6-3 along ideological lines, put on hold a federal district judge’s order that reined in what critics called “roving” raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That judge had found the tactics were likely unconstitutional because agents were detaining people without probable cause at car washes, bus stops and Home Depot parking lots based on stereotypes.

23-year-old Iryna Zarutska fled the war in Ukraine in 2022; she came to the United States and lived in North Carolina. On August 22nd after finishing her shift at Zepeddie’s Pizza, a Charlotte North Carolina restaurant, she boarded a light rail train to head home.
While minding her own business and sitting on a seat scrolling her telephone, a career criminal named Decarlos Brown Jr (35), took a knife out of his pocket, stood up behind Ms Zarutska and then plunged the knife into her neck and throat. Iryna Zarutska bleed to death on the spot. She was killed for being white.
Ms Zarutska survived a war zone only to end up dead on a train in North Carolina as a result of political correctness and leftist urban policies that allow criminals to roam the streets looking for their next victim. The media has been largely silent on the attack, and Charlotte’s democrat Mayor has thanked the media for not sharing the story.
After killing Ms. Zarutska, Decarlos Brown Jr. walked to the front of the train, took off his bloodied hoodie, then walked away from the train. Brown was later arrested again; this is the fourteenth time he was arrested.
NORTH CAROLINA – Liberal media and politicians have been accused of staying silent on the savage murder of a young Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train — after a career criminal with no fewer than 14 arrests was charged with her murder.
Iryna Zarutska, 23, was stabbed to death on a light rail train in Charlotte, with horrifying surveillance footage showing the moment the unsuspecting young woman was brutally attacked.
Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, is allegedly shown pulling out a pocket knife and getting out of his seat behind Zarutska before the video cuts just as he prepares to plunge the blade into her, footage shared by police shows. (READ MORE)
This is how the thug Decarlos Brown Jr. attacked the Ukraine refugee Iryna Zarutska. One would say, she’d still be alive if she was a little racist & aware. This is so sad man! She was safer in her country. This is why there’s a dislike for this type https://t.co/64y0IFHJaX
