When CTH outlined the ‘Destination Handbasket’ framework {Go Deep}, we had no idea Blackrock CEO Larry Fink was essentially going to confirm the premise of our prediction. Keep in mind, any digital currency can only work if there is a digital identity attributed to it – what some have called a digital passport which then creates a crypto wallet.
I have based the framework, of what appears to be over the horizon, on a set of inevitable geopolitical outcomes if the current path is continued. The letter by Blackrock CEO Larry Fink [LINK] seems to affirm the strongest likelihood of a western-inspired digital currency eventually replacing the dollar.
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)
You see that problem, that “dilemma” Fink mentions in the last paragraph above. That is what we have been talking about on these pages for more than two years. It is a dilemma western government created when they all joined together and followed the exact same financial path during the pandemic.
When western governments used the justification of the global pandemic to shut down their economies, enforce lockdowns and all of the subsequent rules, restrictions and economic pains as a direct result of those decisions, they put us on a crisis path that was always going to bring us to this “dilemma.” Quite frankly, I do not see that unity of action as accidental, nor do I see it as organic.
All of the western leaders followed the same monetary and financial policy that was being advanced by the World Economic Forum. They all spent like crazy, and provided tens-of-trillions in bailouts, subsidies and cash payments to cover the economic losses created by their COVID lockdowns. They all did exactly the same thing, and that collective action is why we have ‘global inflation.’
Perversely, while inflation crushes the working class, global inflation works to their benefit by lowering the cost of the debt the politicians created, which the central bands and federal reserve facilitated. We the citizens are suffering under inflation, but the governments that created the inflation actually benefit from it.
I will say with great deliberateness, these western governments want inflation. Sure, it provides a political challenge for those who need to get reelected by voters, but in the bigger of big pictures, they need inflation. Think about it in very simple terms. If they did not want inflation, those same central banks and federal reserve policy makers would have raised interest rates six to eight months ago.
None of what is happening in supply chains and inflation is a surprise to them; they might pretend not to know, but these are not stupid people. This is by design. Media covers for them because, well, I’ll accept the PR firms for the regimes are idiots. However, the people who constructed these policies to take advantage of COVID-19 are not dummies. They knew what all that intervention, manipulation and govt spending would lead to.
Where we are going now is a self-fulfilling prophecy, a destination that is a result of specific action the guided policymakers have taken.
Yes, in hindsight, all of it does seem planned to a long-term eventual conclusion. However, I’m not going to make that specific affirmation just yet; there are still strong elements of ‘not letting a crisis go to waste’ as the leading driver. Did these governing bodies create the underlying crisis? We can debate that, but the point is essentially moot. We are where we are.
The vaccination protocol created the Vax-Passport. That has opened the door to the digital identity, “digital id.” Any government created digital currency is going to need a digital id from the outset.
There are a lot of people asking where this is going, and what can be done to stop it. I’m pretty certain we have accurately identified “Where This is Going,” and I’m a lot more confident now about that aspect than I was even just 24 hours ago. However, knowing that, now we need to look closer at what they would do to stop us from disrupting it.
Everything else is pure “ Mass psychosis influenser propaganda” backing a Political agenda. Good luck in sending the right advise to Russia! Not because I lőve Russia being a Hungarian but because supplying Russia with Smart financial and economic advise will bring restoration of peace ASAP which is the interest of the whole world!
