Over 1,500 “global leaders” from 90 countries met in North China’s Tianjin municipality for the World Economic Forum’s Summer Davos. Chinese Premier Li Qiang opened the conference by discussing China’s economic success amid modernization. China’s growth is expected to accelerate during the second half of the year. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) foresees China alone contributing to one-growth of global GDP in 2023.
Klaus Schwab began by praising the CCP for achieving complete control over the population through COVID lockdowns and social credit scores. China implemented one of the strictest lockdown policies in the world. People were barricaded in their homes without warning or time to prepare. The Zero COVID policy caused businesses to shutter and interrupted the global supply chain. China killed family pets that were suspected of contracting the virus. They flew drones around cities reminding the people to stay inside. Although scrubbed from the internet, many may remember seeing videos of Chinese citizens being carted off in windowless vans to quarantine detention camps.
China implemented QR codes and revoked all freedom of movement. The CCP prevented bank runs by altering QR codes and preventing depositors from even entering banks. People needed QR codes to buy food, board a train, or access any public area. They then heightened their social credit score monitoring by placing a mass surveillance system throughout the country that uses biodata to build a personal profile on nearly every resident. They are still fine-tuning this technology, but eventually, every resident will be a mere number in the data system.
China is leading the world in government surveillance. What better place to discuss the coming digitalization of the financial world? BlackRock partner Jeremy Allaire was in attendance. His company operated the USDC digital stablecoin. Allaire spoke on the importance of “public-private” Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). “You could have a potentially […] darker world where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things, but not other things that it deems less desirable like say ammunition, or drugs, or pornography, or something of the sort,“ noted Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad at the conference. “Now we are at the cusp of physical currency essentially disappearing,” he continued.
The Great Reset requires us to surrender all control to one centralized power. They want to control every aspect of our lives, including how we spend what they deem to be money. They are ushering in a “dark world” where one centralized government will rule us all. Luckily, this plan will fail, but not without a long path of destruction.
I reported that the Dutch government funded several studies that promoted major institutions buying land for rental units. I wrote that the government wanted to normalize permanent renting as we go toward Agenda 2030 and 15-minute cities. The University of Amsterdam published “Buy-to-Live vs. Buy-to-Let: The Impact of Real Estate Investors on Housing Costs and Neighborhoods” and found that the middle class was able to enter the housing market for the first time when not competing with big investors. Yet, they said a lack of institutional investment in real estate caused rentals to rise and was negative. The University of Oxford produced “Keeping Up with the Blackstones: Institutional Investors and Gentrification,” saying that white homeowners needed to be priced out of the market to combat gentrification. Real estate is one of many aspects the World Economic Forum is trying to take over to finalize the Great Reset.
Dutch MP Pepijn van Houwelingen, who is against the WEF, recently revealed how closely linked the sitting administration has become to the organization. He confirmed that the WEF lobbied the Dutch government to promote the Great Reset. Klaus Schwab wrote Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte a letter inviting him to the 2021 WEF Forum. “Underpinning it will be the process of the Great Reset, an unprecedented mobilization of actionable ideas from the Forum’s action groups, platforms and other initiatives to shape the post COVID-19 world,” Klaus wrote.
Houwelingen states that the WEF has “considerable influence” over the government, especially after the 2019 UN Sustainable Development goals agreement. The agenda is clear. The evidence is overwhelming. Schwab himself discusses his plans for a dystopian world in detail, and yet, people believe it is a conspiracy – wake up!
The Wagner mercenary group attempted what the media is calling a coup. Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in the video above warns Russia to improve its treatment of soldiers. Otherwise, there would be a revolution “just like 1917,” also known as the Great October Socialist Revolution. He condemned Russia for not providing Wagner with enough equipment, claiming the leaders left his men for dead. He curses the elite in Russia and tells them to send their own children to fight on the battlefield. “Children of the ordinary come back in zinc coffins,” he said, urging children of the elite to go to battle and post it on their social media platforms. “First the soldiers will stand up, and after that, their loves ones will rise up.”
The threat of a revolution against the existing government was considered an embarrassment to Putin by the media. Rumors began swirling that the CIA or some western agency must have paid off Wagner. People even wondered if the missing $6 billion in funds from the Pentagon ended up in Wagner’s pockets. The truth of the matter is that this attempted coup only gave Putin more power.
Prigozhin does not want the oligarchs behind Putin in charge. He hates the elites, if the video above is any indication. Wagner is a tiny portion of Russia’s military. They would have been outnumbered by far. This situation allowed Putin to declare Counter Terrorist Operation (CTO) regime, a form of martial law.
CTO grants the Russian government the power to control the public. They can legally inspect individuals, cars, residences, check documentation, and anything else as there is a terrorist concern. They can seize private property for personal purposes. They can implement a lockdown or resettle portions of the population to different areas. The government no longer needs warrants to search private property. Perhaps most importantly, they can limit all communications. The Russian government could turn off internet access to the country and cut phone lines. They can also listen in to all phone calls and fully monitor the public. All this alleged coup did was provide the Russian government with complete power over the people.
Update: Russia has lifted CTO, but they can implement it again at any time. “Due to the absence of threats to life, health, property and other legally protected interests of people, the head of the counter-terrorist operation, the head of the Federal Security Service of Russia for the city of Moscow and the Moscow region decided to cancel the counter-terrorist operation legal regime in Moscow and the Moscow region from 9 a.m. on Monday,” said Russia’s National Anti-terrorism Committee in a statement.
Note that China says they would help Russia “achieve national stability” to combat Wagner. Russian allies cannot enter or aid the war in Ukraine, but helping Russia combat internal forces is a grey area.

Well, I have not written about the events with Wagner in Russia, in part because coincidentally I have a good source in St Petersburg who told me several days ago to look out for something with Wagner and Putin. Wagner’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was born in St Pete (Leningrad).
Born in 1961, Prigozhin grew up as a somewhat snarky Soviet Robin Hood, a street urchin who flowed invisibly between Finland and Leningrad in a black-market social circle that, well, let’s just say I am familiar with.
When he was 20, Prigozhin was arrested for a heist and federally imprisoned for 9 years while the Soviet Union collapsed. When he exited prison Russia was different, and with St Pete now becoming a tourist destination, he joined the capitalist opportunity with a street food vending business.
Prigozhin is hard as nails, snarky as hell and very tricky.
He is one of the apex gremlins and very much still connected to the streets, very connected. He was never connected to the towers of Russian politics as the West portrays. Prigozhin doesn’t have the pedigree nor the disposition for political power.
Let me put it this way, no one knows how to play gremlin mind games against the West better than Yevgeny Prigozhin. He’s a little bit like a less refined Oleg Deripaska, and much scruffier. Also remember, in February 2018, Prigozhin was one of 13 Russians indicted by Andrew Weissmann and Rod Rosenstein for interfering in the American election through the Internet Research Agency, lol {insert eyeroll}.
Here’s a picture of the horrible and dangerous Wagner boys executing their Saturday reign of terror inside Russia during the “coup” lol.
Looks like the street urchin from Leningrad cashed out thanks to the DoD/CIA, and then bailed out on Vladimir Putin. A win/win.
I hear Belarus is awesome this time of year… and even Vladimir Putin has got to admit it was all well-played.
Well done, Yevgeny…. well done. Enjoy your retirement.
Meanwhile, back in the Western propaganda news networks.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Secretary of State Antony Blinken is one of the many top Biden administration officials who has been monitoring the events of the last two days. And he joins us from the State Department. Good morning to you, Mr. Secretary.
SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN: Morning, Margaret.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Can you tell us who in the Biden administration has been in touch with Russian leadership?
SEC. BLINKEN: Well, I instructed my own team at the President’s behest to engage with the Russians, first and foremost, to make sure that they understood their responsibilities in terms of protecting our own personnel, ensuring their safety and well-being, as well as any American citizens in Russia. So a number of people have engaged to make sure that the Russians got that message.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Is the U.S. ready for further unrest in Russia, and the scenario that Vladimir Putin does not remain in power?
SEC. BLINKEN: Margaret, this is an unfolding story. And I think we’re in the midst of a moving picture. We haven’t seen- we haven’t seen the last act. We’re watching it very closely and carefully, but just step back for a second and put this in- in context. Sixteen months ago, Russian forces were on the doorstep of Kyiv in Ukraine, thinking they’d take the city in a matter of days, thinking they would erase Ukraine from the map as an independent country. Now over this weekend, they’ve had to defend Moscow, Russia’s capital, against mercenaries of Putin’s own making. Prigozhin himself in this entire incident has raised profound questions about the very premises for Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in the first place, saying that Ukraine or NATO did not pose a threat to Russia, which is part of Putin’s narrative. And it was a direct challenge to Putin’s authority. So this raises profound questions. It shows real cracks. We can’t speculate or know exactly where that’s gonna go. We do know that Putin has a lot more to answer for in the- in the weeks and months ahead.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But is the U.S. prepared for the potential of the fall of the Putin government? And is their nuclear stockpile, the largest in the world, secure?
SEC. BLINKEN: We always prepare for every contingency in terms of what happens in Russia. It’s an internal matter for the Russians to figure out. Of course, when we’re dealing with a major power, and especially a major power that has nuclear weapons, that’s something that’s of concern, something we’re very focused on. We haven’t seen any change in Russia’s nuclear posture. There hasn’t been any change in ours, but it’s something we’re going to watch very, very carefully.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Vladimir Putin is appearing on television this morning. But it appears to have been pre-recorded. Do you know the whereabouts of Vladimir Putin right now? Is he in Moscow?
SEC. BLINKEN: I don’t want to- I don’t want to speculate on that, or what information that we have. Again, we’re watching that- that carefully. I think one of the things this- this tells you is that we still don’t- don’t have finality in terms of what was actually agreed between Prigozhin and Putin. I suspect that we’re going to learn more in the days and weeks ahead about what- what deal they struck. Our focus is relentlessly on Ukraine, making sure that they continue to have what they need to defend themselves, to take back the territory that Russia seized. The President brought together not only the national security cabinet yesterday, he brought together the leaders of our key allies and partners. He instructed all of us to do the same. We have tremendous unity of purpose and unity of action when it comes to supporting Ukraine. And that’s where our focus is.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But as you just said, Prigozhin drew into question the very premise for Vladimir Putin’s war. So do the Wagner fighters return to the fight in Ukraine? Do we know?
SEC. BLINKEN: Too soon to tell what’s going to happen to the Wagner forces, whether they go back to the fight. And it was extraordinary that they were moving out of Ukraine and into Russia. But it’s too soon to tell whether they’re going to go back into the fight as Wagner, whether they get integrated into regular Russian forces. What this means for Wagner in other parts of the world. I mean, keep in mind, both Putin and Prigozhin are responsible for committing terrible acts in Ukraine against Ukrainian civilians. But also, in the case of Wagner, in country after country in Africa, wherever Wagner is, death and destruction and exploitation follow. But all of this is likely to unroll in the in the coming days in the coming weeks. To the extent that it presents a real distraction for – for Putin, and for Russian authorities, that they have to look at – sort of mind their their rear even as they’re trying to deal with the counter offensive and Ukraine. I think that creates even greater openings for the Ukrainians to do well on the ground.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, as you just indicated, Yevgeny Prigozhin has a footprint that goes from Africa, to Syria to Ukraine. Do you have any idea where he is right now?
SEC. BLINKEN: I can’t get into what we know or don’t know, through- through- through intelligence. It’s something that we’re looking at, and that we’re tracking. But for us, the most important thing is to do exactly what the president did yesterday, which was, even as he brought people together, to share whatever information we had about what was going on inside of Russia to make sure that our focus remains in supporting of the Ukrainians and making sure that they do as well as they possibly can. When it comes to the counter offensive.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, one of the things Prigozhin did was directly undermine the Russian military leadership. Do we know who is in charge of the Russian military right now? And how could Vladimir Putin agree to any changes in the leadership of his military and still look like he’s in charge?
SEC. BLINKEN: Now, those are- those are great questions. And I think we’ll get the answers in the- in the days and weeks ahead. It’s too soon to say with any- any certainty what the final chapter in this particular book is going to be. The- The Rising Storm of Prigozhin, inside of Russia is something that many people have seen over- over months now. Direct challenges to the leadership to the military leadership, powerful criticism of Russia’s conduct of its aggression against Ukraine, and now, questioning the very premises of the- the war. Prigozhin himself saying that Ukraine and NATO did not pose a threat to Russia, which is, you know, been part of Putin’s narrative. These create more cracks in the Russian facade. And those cracks are already profound. Economically, militarily, it’s standing in the world, all of those things have been dramatically diminished by Putin’s aggression against Ukraine. He’s managed to bring Europe together, he’s managed to bring NATO together, he’s managed to get Europe to move off of Russian energy, he’s managed to alienate Ukrainians and unite Ukraine at the same time. So across the board, this has been a strategic failure. Now, you introduce into that, profound internal divisions. And there are lots of questions he’s going to have to answer in the weeks ahead.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Is there a possibility of civil war?
SEC. BLINKEN: I don’t want to speculate on that. These are fundamentally internal matters for the Russians to- to figure out, it’s not our place to do that. It is our place to make sure that Ukraine continues to have what it needs to defend itself, and to take back the territory that Russia sees from it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Will President Biden reach out directly to Vladimir Putin? Has the CIA director reached out to Russian intelligence?
SEC. BLINKEN: Margaret, I’m not gonna get into any diplomatic contacts that we- we may have or have had, I can tell you that, on my instruction, on the President’s instruction, we had some engagement with the Russians over the weekend to make sure they understood their responsibilities when it comes to looking out for the safety and security of our personnel in Russia. Very important that we do that, and we did that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about Beijing. I was there with you earlier this week. And I listened to you pick every single one of your words very carefully. And then on our way home, President Biden called Xi Jinping a dictator with economic problems, who didn’t know what his own military was doing by flying the spy balloon over the United States. How much did that hurt the work you did?
SEC. BLINKEN: Margaret, one of the things that I think you heard me say during the trip, and after the trip is the main purpose was to bring some greater stability to the relationship. We have an obligation, and I think China has an obligation to manage that relationship responsibly, to make sure that the profound differences we have don’t veer into – into conflict. But one of the things that I said to Chinese counterparts during this trip was that we are going to continue to do things, and say things that you don’t like, just as you’re no doubt going to continue to do and say things that we don’t like. And if you look at what comes out of the Chinese Foreign Ministry –
MARGARET BRENNAN: Are you saying that was a strategic remark?
SEC. BLINKEN: — on a daily basis, you’ll hear that. The President always speaks candidly, he speaks directly. He speaks clearly, and he speaks for all of us. But the entire focus of what we’re doing is to make sure that even when we’re expressing our differences, by action, or by words, just as they’re doing the same thing. We continue to work through that, to build our lines of communication, because we have a responsibility. And we especially have a responsibility to make sure that the competition we’re in doesn’t veer into conflict, I think we’ve now put in place a better path to do just that. And we’ll see that over the next weeks and months.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You also said that Chinese officials assured you they won’t provide legal assistance to Russia, but that Chinese companies are. According to US Treasury, Chinese companies have also done business with the Wagner group. Have you reached out to the Chinese about trying to gauge what is happening on the ground inside Russia now?
SEC. BLINKEN: Again, I can’t get into any diplomatic context that we may or may not have had. But, you’re exactly right, that when it comes to the visit, the Chinese did reiterate to us, as well as to many other countries that they have not and will not provide lethal military assistance to Russia for use in Ukraine. I also raised the concerns that you said about Chinese companies providing that kind of support and pressed them to be vigilant about that. I’m sure they’re making their – their own assessments about what’s happened inside of Russia in recent days. And as – as our contacts continue to unfold, as we have stronger and more sustained lines of communication, one of the things that we said we need to talk about is the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. It’s something we spent some time talking about when I was in China. I would expect those conversations to continue.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Secretary Blinken, thank you for your time this morning.
SEC. BLINKEN: Thanks, Margaret. Good to be with you.
Personally, I like the simplicity of Wagner’s duct tape battlefield ID’s.
It was even right there in the Friday night timing… but no one noticed.
