If anyone dares to question why the United States will break apart and separate, you must move to California. Biden has just declared Easter is really Transgender Day. He did not give us a memo on how to celebrate. I guess we do not have to hunt for eggs or give presents. So, I guess we are all supposed to be cross-dressers today. We now have Biden effectively declaring Easter Sunday Transgender Day, which is basically a FU to all Christians while they are really saying take your religion and stuff it. The Biden Administration, like Marx, has effectively declared religion the OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE, and they have no respect for anything you believe.
Like Zelensky in Ukraine outlawing Eastern Orthodox religion and nullifying their holidays, including outlawing their Christmas in January, which has been celebrated for more than 1,000 years, the Biden White House is trying to eradicate our religious beliefs and customs.
When Biden won the White House, they were cheering that they would change America into their vision of la la land – Californization of the entire country. That is what I mean; the people who are really running the show in the White House HATE America! They hate religion, our culture, and everything about what made America – America. They are trying to desperately destroy everything about the United States that once made our country great and the beacon of liberty around the world. LIBERTY is old fashioned – they are now autocratic dictators that we MUST live by what they decree or else!
Those Days of Freedom Are Gone
This Biden Administration is sleep-walking the country into World War III to reduce the population all for the Climate Change zealots and to appease the NEOCONs who cannot sleep at night without hating someone.
The Neocons wrote the script for Biden to read, for they made sure they started the civil war in Ukraine as the spearhead to use to go after Russia. This was a Declaration of War that they announced on March 26th, 2022, and bypassed Congress entirely to manipulate the country into war.
We already knew that FREEDOM OF SPEECH means nothing anymore, as the Biden Administration orders private companies to censor people they cannot do directly. Biden even created, on April 27, 2022, the Disinformation Governance Board (DGB), an advisory board of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to control the free press. Then Biden tells Texas it has NO RIGHT whatsoever to defend its own people.
I am sorry, but with this agenda, it is only a matter of time before History Repeats, and we will see a unified separatist movement start to form. NOBODY will accept the results of this election, and there is NO WAY these people in Washington will allow either Trump or RFK to win the White House. All the studies show that Trump would have won in 2020 without mail-in ballots. The Democrats are handing out voter registrations to noncitizens. Merrick tells Congress VOTER IDs are not necessary, yet they threaten any state that insists on IDs to vote as discriminatory. You cannot board a plane or drive a car without a photo ID, but you can vote with nothing? This is all to rig the elections. There is no way this will be a fair election, and they DO NOT GIVE A SHIT anymore what you vote for or what you think. They will win no matter what.
A VOTE FOR BIDEN IS A VOTE AGAINST
EVERYTHING AMERICA STOOD FOR
Because it is for the DEEP STATE
Civil War in any country typically followed two factors. When a nation PRETENDS to be a democracy, like the Roman Republic, but while people may vote, once in power, the leaders do whatever they want. This has unfolded in the United States, and the Biden Administration has taken this to new heights. Zelensky was elected promising peace in Ukraine and has done the opposite. This is the #1 factor that led to all civil wars throughout history. The #2 factor was when the people become divided according to IDENTITY rather than philosophy, such as Catholic vs. Protestant, Suni vs. Shitie, Black vs. White, Marxist vs. Capitalist. Today, 40% of Democrats vote Democrat not because of philosophy but because of IDENTITY. The same is true about Republicans. This is the crisis in Washington that has identified Republicans who no longer represent the philosophy but vote because they are part of the Deep State IDENTITY – hence RINOs.
When the people are so divided, and the groups begin to hate each other as is unfolding, then our failed Republican form of government is NOT a democracy in the slightest, and they, like Zelensky, will say whatever needs to be said to win an election and then do as they like. This clip from the London Financial Times shows how DEMOCRACY suddenly became POPULISM because people voted for an outsider like Trump, and they were terrified.
This is why the United States will go into a civil war. This formula has identified civil wars for thousands of years, leaping out from our computer models that have looked at the rise and fall of nations. It is NOT equality or the differential in wealth. It is when fundamental fairness is thrown out the window for power. EVERY single city-state, nation, or empire has fallen when it has crossed this threshold and is buried in a common grave.
That said, I personally do not believe those controlling the White House, and thus all the government agencies, will allow anyone BUT Biden to win this election. They have gone too far to allow anyone to overturn their agenda. I find it very curious that this movie comes out on April 12th on the future American Civil War. The American Civil War actually began on April 12th, 1861 (1861.279). So, the release date is historical. Our computer shows that the United States will no longer stand united by 2036.489.
Our computer has projected that 2024 will sow the seeds for the end of the United States. According to the historian Suetonius, Caesar said his famous phrase, ālea iacta est (“the die has been cast”). In other words, the dice have been thrown. That is what our computer has forecast for 2024. The precise date of that turning point is September 4/5th, 2024.

Go back in your mind to the time when anxiety around the COVID-19 pandemic was at its apex. Think about what you saw, heard, witnessed in real life, and understood about the overall issues. Then, remember and overlay the intensity around the 2021 vaccination demands by various health and government officials.
Think about what you witnessed, experienced, saw, read about and have an undeniable reference for, as it directly pertained to the intense drive by various government and health agencies about the vaccination protocol in 2021.
Think carefully about the fear that was generated.
Think not only about what you witnessed here in the United States, but also think carefully and remind yourself what you witnessed unfolding in the rest of what we would call the “Western world” around the COVID-19 pandemic – and the vaccination protocol specifically.
Remind yourself of the demands, not just on Americans, but people living in the areas that do not have restrictions on government and freedom for individual liberty – protections that exist uniquely in the USA under our constitution.
Remind yourself of the action of the Canadian government, the vaccine passports demanded by the EU and the Australian/NZ government. The rules and arbitrary restrictions imposed by so-called Western government leadership.
Think about examples where you personally witnessed these issues unfolding.
Think about what you saw unfold with your own eyes.
Put your frame of reference back into that place.
Close your eyes and remind yourself, YOU DID witness these things.
Those events were real; they really did happen. The quarantine camps were real. The “show your papers” approach was empirically true. The forced vaccination demand was real. Travel and freedom were genuinely under the control of government authorities. The local, state and federal police really did comply with enforcing the nonsense.
Remind yourself of all of it.
Make yourself emotionally, and psychologically revisit that time in your mind’s reference.
Now, before going forward, overlay what you remember in 2021 with the 2022 western government sanction map as a context.
The similarity between what you remember about the 2021 vaccination compliance within the most authoritarian regions, and those same regions responding in 2022 unity to the RU sanction situation, are not coincidental.
Now, overlay the percentage of vaccine compliance!
For Americans, think about the level of compliance with the vaccination demand inside the United States.
Approximately 75% of Americans took the COVID-19 vaccine as promoted and demanded by mechanisms of the U.S. federal, state and local government.
It is important to take emotional judgement out of your mindset. Do NOT judge those Americans who took the vaccine either from a place of fear or from a place of forced compliance due to financial threats. Judgement upon them is unfair and of little value.
Accept that everyone did what was in their interests; and accept that many did not have a choice due to work rules and compliance mechanisms forced upon them. DROP judgement from your viewpoint. Just stand back and think about overall compliance.
Approximately 25% of Americans did not succumb to the overwhelming pressure of government. The non-compliance in the USA was higher than the non-compliance of any nation in the zone outlined above (in yellow). Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and the EU had a much higher rate of compliance – much higher.
In part, this was/is driven by American skepticism of any mandate. Our ancestral DNA contains a spirit of distrust toward government. We Americans are less compliant with control regimes. In essence, and in a very broad generalization, we Americans cling to our individual liberty with a stronger ferocity than most.
NOW…
Think about that 20-25% of the population that did not comply, and perhaps add the percentage of the population that reluctantly -very reluctantly- did comply.
Accept what I am about to say with the spirit of its intent….
…. When things get seriously sketchy in the next several months, THAT’S YOUR TRIBE.
That non-compliant sector of Americans, the 25% that refused to absorb the weight of pressure upon them, that is our hope. That’s our tribe of allies when the SHTF.
That group, and it may splinter your overall review of who is on your team, that group is your ally.
After long discussions in the past several years, I am increasingly convinced that percentage of non-compliance is directly proportional to the number of imported illegal aliens at the U.S. southern border.
The people, institutions, government agencies and various regulatory/compliance systems have identified the scale of how many Americans still hold that DNA strain of non-compliance. The number of imported compliant aliens is not coincidentally proportional to the number of non-compliant Americans during the COVID-19 vaccination timeframe.
The agencies of government need social compliance for the next phases of social engineering. They have identified the size of their task.
The next phases of the cleaving will all revolve around economics; that’s where the motives and intents of the Western financial walls, walls clouded under the auspices of the Russian sanction regime, comes from.
When you think about the biggest of the big pictures, control over the monetary and financial system is at the root of controlled liberty.
The world is cleaving; or more accurately, the world is being increasingly cleaved. However, it’s not cleaving purely over the issue of ideology; the core motive is the root of all evil – the love of money.
The control of the monetary system, ultimately the control of human physical activity, is the originating motive of all control mechanisms.
I know at a granular level this is big, complex and complicated shift to understand, but I truly sense we are nearing a phase where it will become transparently clear.
When the mechanisms are introduced, and I mean the big CBDC mechanisms that are currently under construction, approximately 75% of the American people will accept and adhere to the demands within those mechanisms. This is where the compliance rate from the COVID-19 vaccination gives us a reference. Approximately 25% will solidly not accept what is coming, and that scale of understanding should help put context upon the challenge before us.
I have put myself out there in the world to gain a very specific understanding of the constructs at a granular level. Other people have far more skill and expertise than me in the mechanics of the financial system; that’s simply not my focus.
My focus was/is twofold. (1) To understand the mechanics of what/why; and then (2) to get a granular, very granular, level of understanding around “HOW” this will likely unfold and how it will impact. Meaning, what will they do to ensure compliance, and how will that compliance demand surface in the details of ordinary life?
With that in mind, I could spend hours writing about it – and I likely will – however, in the interest of time and urgency I want to tailor and frame my outlines based on your needs.
So….
Tomorrow, Saturday, at 18:00 U.S. Eastern (6:00pm EST), my plan is to post an “Ask me Anything” thread, where I can answer your specific questions.
Keep in mind, this is not an opportunity to ask large general questions, that’s too difficult – takes too many words. However, if people have very specific questions about how this is being put together by the people and institutions within them, I feel generally confident to be able to answer those questions.
The last time I attempted an AMA it was very difficult. I don’t like leaving people without answers, and the volume of inbound requests was extreme. For this AMA I will have specific guidelines and requests which should provide optimal feedback and value in both your time and mine.
Because the core of our association is the only tribe I sense to gain the highest benefit, I will open the AMA thread as a password protected post (same password as always), and then remove the password later making the AMA public the following day.
If you have questions, specific and granular questions, about the efforts I have undertaken in the past two years – as well as specific questions about where I see this going in the next two years – this is the opportunity.
Remember, you are the angels on my shoulder.
I will work earnestly and with the strongest sense of stewardship to provide the most brutally honest and detailed answers to all of your questions.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed on March 26, 2024, at 01:28 EDT after being struck by a cargo ship owned by Brawner Builders Inc. The ship named the Dali was operated by Synergy Marine Group. This black swan event was extremely strange, catastrophic for the US supply chain, and certainly a black swan event. For the purpose of this post, I will refrain from speculation and stick to the facts at hands to explain how crucial this bridge was to the US.
Official reports say that what happened was simply an unfortunate accident. “We’re going to send all the federal resources they need as we respond to this emergency. I mean all the federal resources — we’re going to rebuild that port together,” Biden said after promising to use federal aid to rebuild the bridge, a feat that will take years to achieve. “Everything so far indicates that this was a terrible accident,” he added. “At this time, we have no other indication, no other reason to believe there’s any intentional act here.”
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency stated that there was a “power issue” that caused the crew to lose control of the ship. There was a loss of propulsion from the motor, several tests failed, and the pilots notified the Maryland Department of Transportation and the Maryland Transit Authority. There was an attempt to deploy anchors but it was far too late, especially for a ship of that size and weight.
James Mercante, the president of the New York Board of Pilot Commissioners, said that the Dali became “a dead ship just being carried by the current or its own momentum.”US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg did not say what caused the power outage and does not have a timeframe for when the bridge will be rebuilt. “The impact of this incident is going to be felt throughout the region and really throughout our supply chains,” Buttigieg said. Baltimore is currently under a state of emergency, and Mayor Brandon Scott believes it will last for “the foreseeable future.”
Others believe this was a deliberate attack of US infrastructure based on various factors that do not seem to add up. Could it have been an inside job or a foreign agent? The truth will come to light, as it always does.
Let me begin by explaining how crucial the Francis Scott Key Bridge was to America’s supply chain. Around 52.3 million tons of international cargo estimated to be worth $80.8 billion passed through the port in 2023. Around 4,900 trucks, carrying around $28 billion in goods, must be rerouted due to the bridge collapse. It is the second busiest strategic roadway in the US for hazardous materials. These hazardous materials include diesel fuels. Did you know that diesel fuel is not permitted to be transported via tunnel? Fuel prices will rise, fertilizer prices will rise. The bridge was built to handle hazardous materials like propane, nitrogen, highly-flammable materials, large cargo materials, and more.
The timing could not have been worse for American agriculture.
Baltimore is the largest entry point for all large agricultural and construction equipment, and this will have a ripple effect across US agriculture in general. It has been noted that this collapse occurred during the peak of planting season for Midwest region as the ground has begun to thaw. Our entire food supply is at risk.
The bridge helped to link major cities from Baltimore like Philadelphia, Washington, and New York. Over 15,000 people are employed directly through the port, and 139,000 have indirect jobs in connections. All of this amounts to $3.3 billion in personal income, as noted by Axios.
Analysts are saying this will cripple Baltimore, but it will send ripple effects throughout the entire US economy.
The angle the cargo ship took is extremely confusing. Engineers are perplexed by the situation. How did it manage to take out one of the two major anchor points? The video makes it look as if the ship deliberately steered into an anchor point. The cargo ship never made it into the approach land in the channel. Where was the harbor pilot? There was no horn blast or warning tug. There was no tug boat, but they say that it was not needed once the ship entered the channel. There happened to be a full moon that enabled maximum tidal shift. My eyes may deceive me, but the video footage makes it look like the captain steered directly into the support beam at the last minute.
Half a mile of the bridge simply collapsed. It looks more like a strategic demolition based on how the bridge crumbled. Now, here in Tampa Bay, a cardo ship hit the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over 40 years ago. A portion of the bridge came down but it did not simply fall into the waters in the same manner. This is reminiscent of the 9/11 collapse, but of course, people did not have smart phones back then. This event happened in the middle of the night when few people were around to witness it. Some say this passage is hard to navigate but cargo ships managed just fine for nearly half a century up until this week.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said, “There is absolutely no indication that there’s any terrorism, or that this was done on purpose.” The US government insists this was simply a tragic unpreventable accident. Official reports say there were no signs of explosives and no foreign terrorist agency is claiming responsibility for the event.
The same ship collapsed a bridge in Belgium back in 2016, and I do not think this was an act of foreign terrorism.
This event divided the US along the Mason-Dixon line, bringing us back to the pre-Civil War era. Did US intel have a role in this “accident” that happened at the worst possible time? Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum stated that an attack on infrastructure – a cyber pandemic — would cause the COVID-19 crisis to look like a “small disturbance” in comparison. Carefully watch the video below and note how they explain these events to us long before they take place.

The NTSB gives an update on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, following the impact of a Singaporean-flagged cargo ship, the Dali.
According to the update, 56 containers of hazardous materials were on board, including corrosive flammable cells, lithium ion batteries, and other hazardous materials. Some of the HAZMAT containers were compromised and some fell into the water. The briefing also gives a preliminary outline as an outcome of an initial review of the voyage data recorder (VDR) for six hours 00:00 to 06:00 on the morning of the impact. The timeline discussion occurs at 11:00 of the video below. WATCH:
(Via Fox News) -[…] Homendy said the investigation would be a “massive undertaking” that is expected two take one to two years. She added that the NTSB will not hesitate to issue urgent safety recommendations during that time frame. A preliminary report is expected in only two to four weeks.
Part of the investigation will be determining what caused the ship to lose power before hitting the bridge. The source of that outage remained unknown as of Wednesday, Homendy said.
Homendy said tugboats were called to help the vessel leave the port and get to the main channel. The vessel does not have any tugboats at this time. Homendy confirmed that vessel did not have any tugboats helping it navigate through the waters before it hit the bridge. The VDR showed that the pilot called for tugboats just before 1:30 a.m. after the vessel hit the bridge.
The NTSB has confirmed that there were 21 crewmembers on board the vessel at the time of the accident plus two pilots. (LINK)
We know that the Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum is trying to take over the world. with their Great Reset and Build Back Better program. We also know that Klaus’s Young Global leaders are impeded in high places in every major country and probably some of the US Neocons are with him. So what does this have to do with the Francis Scott Key bridge being destroyed by being hit my a cargo ship that just happens to be out of the channel and having a “power” failure and hitting one of the two main support column taking down the entire span over the Chesapeake Bay.
(Via MSM) – […] The Singapore-flagged 948 ft. Dali vessel crashed into a column supporting the Francis Scott Key Bridge at around 1:30 a.m. local time in Baltimore, causing part of the bridge to collapse and catch fire before sinking.
The port of Baltimore is a key port in the US and it is now shut down until all the debris in the bay can be removed. Shutting this port down is a major blow to the US economy and also to the EU which gets coal and LNG to make up for what that they can no longer get from Russia. We also know the the US was involved in taking out Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipe lines into Germany. And that was blamed on Russia even though it made no sense.
Why do I think this is a False Flag event? Well we know the US Neocons what war with Russia so what if they used CIA resources to hack into the ships systems and steer in into the bridge support. Then claim it was the Russians that did it. This would be a direct attack on the US and would mean Biden could declare War on Russia. This would be a perfect False Flag event!
Look at the bow of the container ship there is no damage to it how is that possible?
This is my personal opinion based on education and knowledge of the operations of the IC community.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk initially promised to double the annual tax-free income allowance to 60,000 zloty (€13,929), but now “there is no room” in the budget. Why? All of the money is going to Ukraine.
Poland increased its defense budget to 3% of GDP in 2022, followed by a raise to 4% in 2023. Poland provides NATO with more funding as a percentage of GDP than any other European nation.
It will not be possible to double the tax-free income allowance to 60,000 zloty – which Donald Tusk had promised to do this year – until 2026 at the earliest, says the finance minister.
— Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 (@notesfrompoland) March 25, 2024
The reason that Poland is unable to say when or how they will decrease taxes is WAR. Finance Minister Andrzej Domański is promising the people that the government will fulfill its promises by 2026. “In my opinion, at the moment, there is no room for the tax-free amount to increase to PLN 60,000 next year,” he told Polsat News. “We are in a near-war situation. We have rapidly increasing defence spending …The scale of incoming defence spending is really high,” the prime minister said, highlighting how much the Polish government is currently spending on Ukraine.
Polish exports to Ukraine rose 25% in 2017. In 2022, Ukraine exported $6.7 billion in goods to Poland, primarily in agricultural products, while Poland provided Ukraine with $9.07 billion in mainly energy and ammunition. The war in Ukraine has only strengthened trade between the neighboring coutries.
Russia has no intention of invading Poland, despite the government’s fearmongering. Instead, the people are being forced to fund an endless war on behalf of their government. The fact that the government cannot determine when funds will be free for use shows that they are planning for a prolonged battle on Ukrainian soil.
Those in the UK are familiar with the challenges that accompany failed housing regulations, high demand, and low supply. A recent study by Resolution Foundation shows that those in the UK pay far more for housing than any nation in the OECD. Finland technically pays more, but not when factoring in the total amount the average Brit spends on housing costs. To put it in perspective, housing in the UK is nearly 50% more than the cost of others goods and services, the study found.
We warned about variable rate mortgages at the 2019 World Economic Conference in Rome. Mortgage rates have remained elevated since that period in the wake of the COVID economic tragedy. The UK has a higher rate of inflation than the general Euro Area at 3.4% in February vs 2.6%. The Bank of England is continuing to aim for that 2% target, similar to the Federal Reserve, but misaligned monetary and fiscal policies make it challenging.
Around 40% of housing was built in the early 1900s, the oldest inventory in the EU. Homes are significantly smaller, making apartments in New York City look lavish. Yet, co-housing arrangements are on the rise as people struggle to find a space to live. One in six young adults between 18 and 34 (2.6 million people) live in poor-quality housing, according to a report by the same think-tank. Overall, one in 10 people across the UK (6.5 million) live in subpar housing conditions. Homelessness is on the rise, especially among the youth. Youth homelessness in London has risen 20%, and Centrepoint Databank statistics reported an 8% rise (112,000 people) in young people seeking homelessness prevention measures.
Housing will be a key topic of discussion for the next election. Both sides want to implement plans to assist first-time buyers, but no one has made any meaningful progress to streamline the homebuying process or curtail the countless issues. One of the main issues is the migrant crisis – where will they house an additional 1.2 million new people when citizens cannot find housing? Simply put, the UK is full.

Most first-world nations are experiencing a crisis in housing affordability as there is simply not enough supply to meet the demand. Major corporations swept up the majority of homes when mortgage rates were artificially low. Those who own are less likely to less as they could downsize and still have a larger mortgage bill due to current rates. The Biden Administration has proposed a number of solutions, but none of them will solve the housing crisis.
Biden wants to punish landlords for “rent gouging” as part of his re-election strategy. “My administration is cracking down on big corporations who break antitrust laws by price fixing to keep the rents up,” Biden said in Las Vegas. “Landlords should be competing to give folks the best deal, not conspiring to charge them more.” The majority of landlords renting out homes would fall in the middle-class category. The elites are not using individual apartments or homes for their passive income. There are instances of price gouging, but landlords have no choice but to raise rent in the face of rising taxes and insurance premiums. Landlords are not providing housing as a public service. This is yet another method to punish the middle class that will result in a decrease in inventory when it is no longer lucrative for landlords to rent to those who cannot afford to buy.
As for purchasing, private investors accounted for 44% of all single-family home purchases in 2023 after three consecutive years of major corporations expanding their real estate portfolios. BlackRock is the largest landlord in America with a portfolio of over $120 in residential real estate. The goal is to own as much land as possible so that the people can become perpetual renters. BlackRock also is part of the World Economic Forum promises “sustainability” and “ESG integration,” and is a member of GRESB (formerly the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark). GRESB is the global standard for providing and acquiring real estate and infrastructure in a sustainable way.
Biden plans to address the demand issue by building 2 million new homes to the tune of $20 billion. Well, we just experienced an influx of nearly 8 million new arrivals and his administration refuses to close the border. The plans for these housing are loose but the key is “affordability,” meaning these homes will go toward those already receiving government assistance. “My plan will also establish an innovative program to help communities build and renovate housing or convert housing from empty office spaces into housing, empty hotels into housing,” Biden said. He is looking at expanding the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and providing low-income citizens and non-citizens with taxpayer funding to purchase homes. Again, this is an attack on the middle class and an action that will raise inflation.
You must realize that Biden, the US government, the EU, and countless others have openly said they are committed to the Great Reset presented by the World Economic Forum. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING! That is the plan here and precisely why the Biden Administration is taking action to hurt the middle class, and they have diluted the people into thinking they are above or below “middle class” standing. In every communist form of government, the middle class vanishes and you have the “haves” and the “have nots.” The WEF has presented their plans various times for 15-minute cities. There will be no solution to the housing crisis as there will be no solution to the migrant crisis because both are needed to push forward the Great Reset.

If you followed my research on banking and the reality of the Russian sanction regime, this report from Reuters today takes on an entirely new dimension.
ME: …”The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.” (more)
REUTERS TODAY: …”The firm [SWIFT] has gone from being virtually unknown outside banking circles to a household name since 2022 when it cut most of Russia’s banks off from its network as part of the West’s sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine. (more)
[The map shows the global financial cleaving, an outcome of sanctions against Russia]
I first started to deep dive research into these CBDC datapoints when the Russian sanctions were triggered.
You see, nothing about the sanctions really made sense from the way they were structured. Never before, not with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela or Cuba was the dollar weaponized against any entity who did not conform to the sanctions. Additionally, the intensity of the drive to make the sanctions the tip of the Western spear was just too pointed; something about it didn’t make sense. That’s what took me to dig deep into the sanction impact and realize nothing said about these financial sanctions made sense when compared against their actual outcome. {Go Deep}.
So, let’s start with the latest development:
(Reuters) – Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system, it has told Reuters.
The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT’s key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched.
Around 90% of the world’s central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don’t want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with technological complexities.
SWIFT’s head of innovation, Nick Kerigan, said its latest trial, which took 6 months and involved a 38-member group of central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, had been one of the largest global collaborations on CBDCs and “tokenised” assets to date.
“We are looking at a roadmap to productize (launch as a product) in the next 12-24 months,” Kerigan said in an interview. “It’s moving out of experimental stage towards something that is becoming a reality.”
Although the timeframe could still shift if major economy CBDC launches get delayed, getting out the blocks for when they do would be a major boost for maintaining SWIFT’s incumbent dominance in the bank-to-bank plumbing network.
[…] A raft of heavyweight commercial banks including HSBC, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered and the CLS FX settlement platform all took part too, as did at least two banks from China.
The idea is that once the interlink solution is scaled-up, banks would have one main global connection point able to handle digital asset payments, rather than thousands if they were to set up an individual one with every counterparty. (read more)
The sanction regime against Russia was always intended to generate this outcome. This is the feature of the sanctions, not a flaw.
This dollar based CBDC was the intended destination of the people who constructed the Russian sanction plan (ex. BlackRock/WEF types). The Western politicians then were recruited and given instructions to support. Their cover story was “Build Back Better,” ie climate change, which was the predicate to the Russian sanctions.
I know at first blush a lot of this CBDC discussion seems esoteric, difficult to understand, and there are a lot of other issues happening simultaneously in the background. However, if you contemplate the biggest threat on this overarching power arc of Western government, you arrive to understand how serious this seemingly opaque issue really is.
2022 – NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) – BlackRock Inc’s (BLK.N) chief executive, Larry Fink, said on Thursday that the Russia-Ukraine war could end up accelerating digital currencies as a tool to settle international transactions, as the conflict upends the globalization drive of the last three decades.
In a letter to the shareholders of the world’s largest asset manager, Fink said the war will push countries to reassess currency dependencies, and that BlackRock was studying digital currencies and stablecoins due to increased client interest.
“A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.
[…] In the letter on Thursday, the chairman and CEO of the $10 trillion asset manager said the Russia-Ukraine crisis had put an end to the globalization forces at work over the past 30 years.
[…] “While companies’ and consumers’ balance sheets are strong today, giving them more of a cushion to weather these difficulties, a large-scale reorientation of supply chains will inherently be inflationary,” said Fink.
He said central banks were dealing with a dilemma they had not faced in decades, having to choose between living with high inflation or slowing economic activity to contain price pressures. (read more)
When the White House first started openly saying the Biden administration was reviewing how to implement CBDC’s, yes THAT Announcement ACTUALLY HAPPENED, September 2022, things from a research perspective really started to get serious. “While the U.S. has not yet decided whether it will pursue a CBDC, the U.S. has been closely examining the implications of, and options for, issuing a CBDC.” Whenever the U.S. govt says they’re “undecided,” pay close attention.
First things first with the Western financial sanctions- specifically the SWIFT exchange. It is true you cannot use VISA, Mastercard or any mainstream Western financial tools to conduct business in Russia; however, the number of workarounds for this issue are numerous. One of those tools is the use of a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin; and within that reality, you find something very ominous about the USA motive against crypto.
“I’ve always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc.,” Dimon said in response to a question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. “The only true use case for it is criminals, drug traffickers … money laundering, tax avoidance because it is somewhat anonymous, not fully, and because you can move money instantaneously. “If I was the government, I would close it down.” (read more)
Dimon was/is positioning JPMorgan to be one of the facilitating beneficiaries of the financial control system evident within any CBDC process.
The US Treasury has set the financial system on an almost irreversible path to a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency. As direct consequence, crypto currency alternatives are a threat to the establishment of that Western objective. This reality also pulls in the explanation around why the USA is so all-in for the banker-driven World War Reddit – the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Conflict with Russia created the opportunity for the USA to create a sanctions regime that doesn’t truly sanction Russia; instead it controls the world of USA dollar-based finance. At the end of that control mechanism is a digital dollar, a Central Bank Digital Currency…. and by extension full control over U.S. citizen activity. The Marxist holy grail.
Take those reference points as an overlay, and now consider this little discussed 2022 announcement from the Biden administration:
[White House] – President Biden often summarizes his vision for America in one word: Possibilities. A “digital dollar” may seem far-fetched, but modern technology could make it a real possibility.
A United States central bank digital currency (CBDC) would be a digital form of the U.S. dollar. While the U.S. has not yet decided whether it will pursue a CBDC, the U.S. has been closely examining the implications of, and options for, issuing a CBDC. If the U.S. pursued a CBDC, there could be many possible benefits, such as facilitating efficient and low-cost transactions, fostering greater access to the financial system, boosting economic growth, and supporting the continued centrality of the U.S. within the international financial system. However, a U.S. CBDC could also introduce a variety of risks, as it might affect everything ranging from the stability of the financial system to the protection of sensitive data.
Notably, these benefits and risks might vary significantly based on how the CBDC system is designed and deployed. That is why Executive Order 14067, Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets, placed the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a U.S. CBDC. The Executive Order directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in consultation with other Federal departments and agencies, to submit to the President a technical evaluation for a potential U.S. CBDC system.
Today, OSTP is publishing its report, Technical Evaluation for a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency System, which lays out policy objectives for a potential U.S. CBDC system and analyzes key technical design choices for a U.S. CBDC system. The report also estimates the technical feasibility of building a CBDC minimum viable product and describes how a U.S. CBDC system might affect Federal operations. The report makes recommendations on how to prepare the Federal Government for a U.S. CBDC system. Importantly, the report does not make any assessments or recommendations about whether the U.S. should pursue a CBDC, nor does it make any decisions regarding particular design choices for a potential U.S. CBDC system.

When you read that full announcement, you realize they have already built the system.
If the system is built, and they are now making policy recommendations for implementation, the question becomes, ‘What’s the goal’?
We do not have to look far for the explanation.
Prior to the White House announcement, the World Government Summit 2022 took place on March 29 and 30 in Dubai, hosting more than 4,000 individuals from 190 countries including senior government officials, heads of international organizations, and global “experts.” The invited participants presented ideas and worldviews from within their various fields of specialty.
One presentation was from Dr. Pippa Malmgren, an American economist who served as special adviser on Economic Policy to President George W. Bush.
Her father, Harald Malmgren, served as a senior aide to US Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. In this segment, Mrs. Malmgren says the quiet part out loud. Yes, they are no longer hiding the construct; indeed, as you will hear, they are saying quite openly what the future will look like. WATCH (2 minutes):
Transcript – Dr. Malmgren: “What underpins a world order is always the financial system. I was very privileged. My father was an adviser to Nixon when they came off the gold standard in 71. And so, I was brought up with a kind of inside view of how very important the financial structure is to absolutely everything else.
And what we’re seeing in the world today, I think, is we are on the brink of a dramatic change where we are about to, and I’ll say this boldly, we’re about to abandon the traditional system of money and accounting and introduce a new one. And the new one. The new accounting is what we call blockchain.
It means digital, it means having a almost perfect record of every single transaction that happens in the economy, which will give us far greater clarity over what’s going on. It also raises huge dangers in terms of the balance of power between states and citizens.
In my opinion, we’re going to need a digital constitution of human rights if we’re going to have digital money. But also this new money will be sovereign in nature. Most people think that digital money is crypto, and private. But what I see our superpowers introducing digital currency, the Chinese were the first the US is on the brink, I think of moving in the same direction the Europeans have committed to that as well.
And the question is, will that new system of digital money and digital accounting accommodate the competing needs of the citizens of all these locations, so that every human being has a chance to have a better life? Because that’s the only measure of whether a world order really serves!”
The entry into a digital currency, needs a digital identity.
The end goal of a digital currency is why Western political leaders have not been worried about following the COVID-19 spending demands from the World Economic Forum. {Go Deep}
When the global trade currency does not need to be pegged, it is completely fiat. This is the current problem with global trade and transactions taking place in U.S. dollars, which arbitrarily lifts the standard of life for Americans while providing no similar benefit to other nations. That view became the underlying motive for Osama Bin Laden to target the World Trade Center, Twin Towers. That view was/is also the perspective carried by Barack Obama, that lay behind his “fundamental change” statement.
A digital currency allows ultimate control, on a global basis, by a one world government, or Western system of collective governments, that can assign value. No other mechanism will have as much control over the life of a person than a digital currency that will create a system of transactional credits and debits, perhaps also influenced by your social credit score.
Can it be stopped? I struggle with that question. I look in the mirror, think about the reality of how many people think this is an absurd conspiracy theory, and respond with…. How many people even know about the thing you are asking them to oppose?
How many people would believe the Western sanctions against Russia were really the USG building a cage to keep us in? Information, we need to start there. That’s my answer.
During remarks in New Hampshire, President Trump announced he would never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency. WATCH:
Of course, it should be noted….. as if the entire global system didn’t already oppose Donald Trump, this position against CBDC’s just puts an exclamation point on how the multinational financial systems will hate/oppose him even more.
This 2024 election is critical for a variety of reasons. However, high atop that list is this issue of how a dollar based CBDC is a threat to every liberty we cherish.
We will win this battle and eventually this war, or I’ll die fighting it.
They are trying to move fast, because people are catching on now.
We are on the right side of every issue; we cherish liberty and individual freedom. Our opposition is built upon a foundation of fraud and lies. The politicians are corrupt, and their arguments collapse when put in the sunlight; but they are not the root of the problem – they are vessels. That’s why the multinationals like BlackRock need the rules and referees (politicians) slanted in their favor. That’s why they need censorship, deplatforming, and beyond everything else…. they must control information.
…The key battle right now is an information war.
Tell your family, friends, neighbors. At first, they may think you are crazy, don’t quit. Share the information. Use the internal citations to help you bolster your arguments. Don’t quit planting seeds of information, and then update with additional information as it surfaces. Keep driving the awakening.
Europe’s migrant crisis has been multiplying since 2015 when former German Chancellor Angela Merkelopened the gates to Syrian refugees. Everyone and anyone is now descending upon Europe, and with the backing of a centralized government in the form of the European Union, no agency can curb the unsustainable migration crisis because the invasion is deliberate.
Lionel Shriver, head of Frontex and the EU’s border and coastguard coalition, has said that there is nothing that can be done to control migration. “To put it bluntly,” the Dutchman Hans Leijtens told an interviewer from Germany’s Die Welt, “nothing can stop people from crossing a border, no wall, no fence, no sea, no river. Sometimes it’s pretended that you can just put a lid on top of the bottle, and then the migration stops. But that’s a misconception.”
Frontex’s budget increased from €143 million for 2015 when the crisis began to €543 million for 2021. The budget is expected to reach €10,000 by 2027. Now, what is the point of enforcing the border when the politicians are openly welcoming illegal migrants? The corrupt European Commission transformed Frontex into the European Border and Coast Guard Agency in 2015. At the same time, Merkle and others were urging refugees to head to Europe where they would receive a state-funded life.
“Who am I to condemn migrants?” Hans, the man responsible for controlling migration, said. “This talk of ‘stopping people’ and ‘closing borders’ can’t be our narrative all the time. My job is to strike a balance between effective border management and respect for fundamental rights.” Basically, he must appease Brussels and has no authority to act in a way that goes against their narrative.
Similar to the US, the people in charge refuse to recognize that there is a massive migration crisis happening. The house is burning but they will not call the fire department because they refuse to see the flames. Europe’s migrant crisis started before America’s because an anti-establishment candidate who did not obey the globalist agenda secured the vote. All of the World Economic Forum, BUILD BACK BETTER, nations are aligning on a policy of open borders despite the social and economic consequences.
