As if the pointless and unjustified war of aggression by the rogue hegemon and its Israeli master were not doing enough to take down much of Asia and Oceania, now industrial ‘accidents’ across multiple fronts are destroying the remaining capacity for Australia to cope. For this to happen actually by accident is not credible. The odds against it are astronomical. Australia has only two refineries, and one of them just exploded. The country was already 90% dependent on imports that will no longer be arriving, and now that dependency is even worse. (It should be pointed out that there has been a string of recent and unexplained refinery fires in various countries around the world, and likely none are accidents.) At the same time, the major fertiliser plant experienced a fire that’s taken it offline for at least two months at the worst possible time – planting season. Two major gas terminals have also been knocked out, and grocery prices are set to rise 20% very quickly.

Global energy and fertiliser suppliers are halting exports in order to conserve for their own use, understandably. Planting season for winter crops is a short window, and that window will be missed. Some farmers are planting less fertiliser-dependent crops, while others aren’t planting at all. Farmers who are planting don’t know if they’ll be able to harvest due to diesel shortages, and even if they can, it may not be possible to distribute the food. The entire supply chain is being squeezed from every side. Fresh food requiring refrigeration is likely to disappear first. Dependency is vulnerability, and this part of the world is acutely dependent on critical imports that will no longer be coming.

To call this an epic disaster would be an understatement, and the crisis has barely begun. Australia is about to move to phase three of their emergency plan, with fuel rationing, allocations to specific sectors (emergency services, utilities, freight, agriculture, food supply chains), and mandated demand reduction from the civilian sector. Of course this is necessary under the circumstances, but those circumstances were not naturally occurring. Stage four is coming, but not immediately. That will see all infrastructure close down, food chains collapse, a driving ban, and rationing of everything. New Zealand, with no refinery at all, and even further down the fuel supply chain, will not be far behind.

Does anyone else think all of this sounds exactly like what Agenda 2030 was trying to achieve? They were behind schedule, since the toxic shot death toll was insufficient (so far), and too many people had stopped believing in the fake climate emergency, so they seem to have decided to force the issue. The primary target is the western middle class. Europe is already toast, since their primary energy supply through the Nordstream pipline was already cut off by the US, and now the southern route is blocked by war. Canada is self-immolating and likely to break up, the US is imploding into christo-fascism under a warmongering ‘mad king’, and Australia and New Zealand are to be starved. All of this is their population reduction strategy, and they want it to happen quickly, so there are fewer mouths to feed and fewer survivors to have to control through their planned digital gulag. To call these Epstein-class people who are orchestrating this evil is a considerable understatement. They plan to genocide billions of people.

Communities absolutely have to come together to help each other survive. We have no choice.

This is ridiculous. Russia is no invasion threat to the UK, or anywhere else in Western Europe. The only potential threat would be from missiles targeting weapons production sites in retaliation for Europe arming Ukraine in order for them to attack deep into Russian territory. Russia lacks the capacity even if they wanted to take European territory, which they don’t. They don’t even want western Ukraine, which, unlike eastern Ukraine, is actually full of hostile Ukrainians, and no one in their right mind wants to rule over a permanent insurrgency. Western Ukraine is full of Russians who’ve been abused by the government in Kiev for many years, and shelled since the US-backed coup in 2014, costing some 14,000 lives. Russia stepped in to protect them when it became clear that the Ukrainian army was headed east to eliminate them. Now that Russia has spent blood and treasure to save them, it won’t be giving up the five oblasts it’s claimed (Crimea, Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizha, and Kherson), backed by popular referenda in each one. Four more oblasts (Kharkiv, Nikolaev, Odessa, and Dnipro) may be added to the list if Ukraine continues its NATO-funded-and-supplied war. None of this affects western Europe directly, only impoverishes it, due to the billions sent to Ukraine rather than spent on their own people, and disarms it, due to the mountain of old equipment sent.

several European countries are now foolishly and unnecessarily talking about conscription, with the UK seemingly at the front of the pack. The media is now chiming in to support this:

The UK is doing this while raising taxes on the people, many of whom are desperately stuggling to make ends meet, in order to send yet more money to the financial blackhole of Ukraine. This money will then promptly be stolen by the Ukrainian kleptocrats, in what is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

At the same time, Britain wants to remilitarise, and will need to tax and squeeze its poor citizens even more. Remilitarisation to any reasonable standard isn’t even possible, no matter how much can be extracted from the population, and the UK has no experience of modern drone warfare in any case. Soliders sent into combat with obsolete tactics and equipment will simply be slaughtered. One only has to watch the Ukrainian and Iranian wars to see how much warfare has changed. As Neil McCoy-Ward points out in the headline video, Rome taxed its farmers 90%, and then watched them abandon the empire. Many Britons are doing the same, with a major exodus of both young people and the wealthy, who have the option to avoid being squeezed.

Energy lockdowns are also coming, even though Britain gets most of its energy from Norway, not from the Persian Gulf. Neil discusses the existing legal framework allowing for it to happen, some going back to the oil shock era of the 1970s. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 provides for legal energy lockdowns. The Energy Act of 1976, updated in 2000 when the UK saw fuel riots, provides for control over the fuel supply by creating a framework for deciding who can have fuel, for restricting usage, for setting up an allocation system to prioritise different sectors. There is also a Petroleum Act of 1998.

The UK was obviously aware that energy security might be an issue, yet did not establish reserves. Instead, after the discovery of North Sea oil and gas, it threw caution to the wind and exploited those reserves at the highest production to reserve ratio of any oil producing region. Those reserves, plus the City of London financial ponzi scheme, are the reasons the UK did not collapse, and indeed boomed, when it lost its empire. Both of these factors are now about to go into reverse, as North Sea oil and gas in the UK sector peaked years ago, and the end of the major debt cycle is rapidly approaching, which will be fatal for the ponzi scheme. UK citizens have no idea what’s about to hit them. Few seem to remember the late 1970s, when a desperate Britain went cap in hand to the IMF and a three day work week was introduced. Few remember the coal miners strike of the 1980s, which almost brought down the power grid. The Great Depression is the 1930s has almost entirely passed out of living memory. What’s coming will be a terrible combination of all of those factors. The UK is headed directly towards a world of hurt.

The attempted American blockade suffers from a number of difficulties. Ships cannot get close to the Iran, because their anti-ship missiles have a substantial range. Carriers too close would be sitting ducks. There would be no need to sink them, just to destroy the flight decks in order to render them useless. In order to stay out of range, the blockade must cover a much greater distance, but the US does not have the military hardware to control long distances at sea. There is no armada, and no fleet of helicopters, speedboats and drones, which would be necessary for visual inspection and boarding. Military control is very unlikely to succeed, but confusion and fear of risk amongst shippers is likely to reduce the number of ships passing. China will likely defy the US successfully, but ships from smaller nations with less leverage may not. Iran can export oil by other means, so its export capacity would be reduced but not curtailed completely. The US is also bombing the Chinese-built railroad running through Iran and beyond for this reason. So much for the excuse that the war was about liberating the Iranian people. It’s clearly an attempt to destroy the country completely, in accordance with Israeli wishes, and to halt the rise of Asia in general, and China in particular, by cutting off their energy supply.

Another goal is to prevent the Taiwanese chip company TSMC from being able to manufacture their advanced chips at home, due to shortages of both LNG for fuel and helium, which necessary for chip making. The US is trying to pressure TSMC to relocate to Arizona, so it can control advanced chip manufacture. TSMC has tried to build a facility there, but has suffered many setbacks, and cannot find an appropriate workforce. While the US is busy trying to blockade the Straits of Hormuz externally, China and the Taiwanese opposition party, which favours reunification with the mainland, are holding talks. China may reunify with Taiwan and gain control over the chip fabs before the US can do anything about it. The US has threatened to bomb the fabs if this were to happen, but this doesn’t exactly please the Taiwanese. Bullying and brute force do not win friends, or keep friends. The US is merely demonstrating that it’s a gangster regime.

The so-called peace talks in Islamabad were never intended to be successful. They were about buying time for Trump to find a way out of the quagmire he finds himself in. Unfortunately for him, there is no way out but a humiliating withdrawal, because Iran can withstand a long war of attrition while the US cannot. Iran sent a highly qualified and well-informed team to Islamabad, while the US sent unqualified and ill-informed zionist lackeys and grifters, Kushner and Witkoff, along with JD Vance, who also has no relevant knowledge or experience. The negotiating position of the Iranians was reasonable, but that of the Us/Israeli side was not. They were insisting that Iran abandon its missile defence system, hand over all of their enriched uranium, and agree to share revenue from the Hormuz tollboth system (revenue that would then go to the Trump family and friends). In other words, the US was demanding complete capitulation as a final offer, which was never going to be remotely acceptable. The American team had no authority to agree to anything independently, and were constantly phoning both Trump and Netanyahu for approval. The on the last call with Netanyahu, they were instructed to shut down the talks and walk away. The intransigence was entirely on the US/Israeli side, because while Trump may want a deal, Netanyahu does not. Israel wants nothing less than the complete destruction of Iran.

Trump is already bored of a conflict dragging on far longer than the Israelis has convinced him it would when they talked him into it (no doubt under threat of revealing the kompromat they have on him). He wants nothing more than to declare (false) victory and leave. His regime is composed sycophants, vassals, cronies, manipulative fake pastors (eg Paula White) and technofeudalists waiting to take over when he’s eventually pushed aside, possibly under the 25th amendment. (His recent portrayal of himself as Jesus and fight with the Pope have likely hastened that day.) Vance is a creation of Peter Thiel, whose goal is a global panopticon, with full spectrum surveillance and control of humanity. His ascendancy to the presidency would be a different kind of nightmare.

Trump cares only about the political consequences for himself, and not at all about the looming global catastrophy that his unprovoked war of aggression is causing. His narcissism is all-consuming, and compounded by senility and sadism. The imploding US empire faces strategic defeat and reduction to a regional power, while much of the rest of the world faces immediate energy crisis and famine within months. If this continues for much longer, the global economy will collapse, and the entire planet will blame Trump.

This interview expands on the scale of the consequences of the blockade. Energy, GDP, and population are extremely tightly linked, and global energy supply has already taken a huge hit. This will affect countries differently, depending on local circumstances. Those with sovereignty and self-sufficiency (for instance Russia and Iran) can maintain a viable state. For many less fortunate others it will mean complete collapse into anarchy, with mass death. Structural dependencies are vulnerabilities, and can be catastrophic when input conditions change for the worse.

Many consequences, including a global recession, are already inevitable, and if the war lasts longer than another month, a global depression worse than the 1930s will be guaranteed. When the Suez canal was blocked some time ago, every day of blockage required six days to restore, if that same measure were applied to the blockage of Hormuz, recovery would take until early 2027 if the war stopped tomorrow, and for a 16 week closure it would take until late 2028. These estimates likely understate the case significantly, since the war may go on for much longer, and a great deal of essential infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed. This will take months to years to restore, assuming the conditions for restoring it still exist. Supply chains are to complicated to model accurately, and have little to no resilience under a just-in-time paradigm. Once they fracture, restoring them may not be possible, especially in a low energy and low trust environment.

The WEF globalists will of course use the crisis to force through many of their pet ideas. Among their stated goals are the end of air travel, shipping, and global trade, while constraining human freedom through limited and tightly controlled purchasing power, and forcing people to accept both a nutritionally deficient diet and forced ‘medications’, and population reduction. They may achieve all of that, unless chaos increases to a level where control by anyone becomes impossible, which would derail some of their coercive ideas. Interestingly, Netanyahu has connections with the Davos crowd and the WEF. Perhaps he’s helping them fulfill their goals.

Iran has established what other call a blockade of the Straits of Hormuz, but is actually a tollbooth, allowing the ships of non-belligerants to pass through, for a price, but blocking the ships of hostile nations. It has stated that the tolls will provide for reconstuction of damaged infrastructure, in lieu of reparations which are unlikely to materialise. Thismis not an unreasonable position to take. In response, the American regime has decided to institute its own military blockade of shipping exiting the Straits, with their warships kept at a distance theoretically beyond the reach of Iranian missiles. It initially said that all shipping would be denied passage, but then clarified that it seeks to prevent any Iranian oil from being exported, and intends to commandeer any ship that has paid an Iranian toll.

The US, which is a failing empire, is attempting to prevent the rise of the empire in the ascendancy, namely China, by cutting off its energy supply, much of which comes through the Straits of Hormuz. This is called Thucydides Trap, and it never works, but always leads to unnecessary destruction. Of course the destruction of Iran is also a goal, since Iran has substantial energy resources and a non-Rothschild central bank, meaning that it remains sovereign in a world that transnational capital is attempting to gain full control over. This cannot be tolerated by those trying to install a New World Order under their own control.

Such a blockade is going to be very militarily difficult, if not impossible to put into practice. The mere attempt signals that the era of free passage on the high seas is over, and piracy is making a comeback.

Apart from the logistical difficulties, this prolonged interdiction of passage is going to lead to massive crisis in Europe, South East Asia , and Oceania, all of which will be facing the worst depression in living memory, along with widespread famine. The US doesn’t care about collateral damage, but other parties might, and they may take actions of their own, and those actions could initiate a wider spiral of escalation. Already other choke points are being considered for tolls by a range of states, meaning that international trade would either become much more expensive or could even cease almost entirely. Thisn s exactly what happened in the Great Depression if the 1930s – neo-mercantilism, gunboat diplomacy, trade wars, piracy etc – all of which caused trade to collpase by 66% in two years, and we’re far more dependent on integrated global trade than they were back then.

The many million of people in affected regions will be needing a Plan B, and it will need to be devised and implemented quickly. It will need to come from the grassroots, because the wealthy will only care about themselves. If the rest of us want to survive, we need to look after ourselves and our communities. We’ll need to pool resources and get out of our comfort zone in order to recreate the human connections our grandparents had. If we work together we may be able to remain independent of the slavery system that those at the top of the financial food chain are trying to impose.

Get out from under any leverage the system has over you if you possibly can, even if it means making significant sacrifices. Debt is the most obvious point of leverage. Families may be able to pay it off by consolidating, because the older generation typically has all the assets while the younger one has all the debt. The older generation can cover the debts in exchange for being looked after as their pensions and free healthcare disappear. Gain control of the essentials of your own existence if you can – food, water, energy, and shelter. In a crunch, those are the only things that matter. Dependency is leverage against you, and therefore vulnerability. Communities may be able to achieve relative independence collectively, even if individuals can’t. You will need to ride out the crunch and then rebuild, albeit at a much lower level of material prosperity. Your expectations will need to be in line with what reality can hope to deliver, but in the process we can all rediscover what it means to be human.

No one is better positioned to understand the planned finance-mediated control grid better than Catherine Austin-Fitts, who was trained as a central banker before turning away from the ‘dark side’. The system is ready to go live in two years, so we have only that long to throw enough sand in the gears to force it to fail. We’ll be helped in that regard by the fact that the people attempting to implement it are power-hungry psycopaths who use each other for their own gain, but actually hate each other, and will eventually eat each other alive (metaphorically) in their quest for personal power.

The legal framework is in place in the US for implementing the digital gulag, and in place internationally for the Great Taking (see David Rogers Webb’s work).

The Genius Act provides a pipeline from the treasury into every issuer of stablecoins, while the Clarity Act allows for all financial assets, and later physical assets, to be placed on a distributed ledger, where they will be subject to central control. Stablecoins – a privatised version of central banks digital currencies (CBDCs) – will be ready to go this year. They’re intended to replace all bank deposits, rendering everything in the financial system programmable, and subject to strict central rules. This is meant to usher in a new era of financialisation, with digital tokens traded continuously on margin, with massive leverage, creating a financial bubble-blowing machine of unprecedented proportions. The existing financial system has reached the end of the line, so this is being implemented in order to prevent its collapse, which would otherwise be inevitable in the near future.

This is an imperial project, not confined to the US. Stablecoins are intended to suck all the liquidity out of local banks and local economies around the world and into the US treasury market, in order for the whole world to continue funding the imperial war machine. Small businesses and small farms are to be liquidated, with their assets and market share handed to transnational corporations in a forced scaling up. This is an extention of what happened during the covid practice run. Essentially, the use of stablecoins means substituting US treasury bills for existing currencies, but in a tightly controlled manner. Instead of liquidity being deployed by local banks to fund local economies, it would be used to fund ever more central control. Under the old model, central bankers controlled monetary policy while governments controlled fiscal policy (taxing and spending), but now the bankers want to control both, so the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which is the central bankers’ central bank, is re-engineering how the entire financial system works.

This is being done by the long term (ie over hundreds of years) banking families, such as the Rothschilds and Warburgs, who own the central banks, with a few exceptions, such as Iran. The existing obligations of central banks will be discarded in favour of direct control by the wealthiest of the wealthy – those with enough capital and connections to remain hidden while pulling the string from behind the scenes. Any semblance of meritocracy will be gone, in favour of cronyism, with successful people not beholden to, or in accordance with, the elites is very likely to be taken down. Catherine Austin-Fitts calls this a channel war, where all activity must pass through controlled channels, including the people allowed to be successful. At larger scale the imperial channel is being established, and ‘leakage’ will not be permitted, especially when the factor not under control also has the means to remain independent and the ability to defend that independence. Iran represents such ‘leakage’, hence the war.

What’s underway is both a periodic financial reset, as bankers always engineer at the end of a debt cycle, and a forced scaling up of business in order to consolidate all control of business in the hands of huge corporations. This time the financial reset is not a reissuing of the currency, but the elimination of currency in favour of glorified food stamps. This is a rationing system for scarce resources, but it isn’t intended to apply to everyone. The elites will, of course, exempt themselves while effectively enslaving the rest of humanity. This will generate tremendous resentment, and likely resistance to the required digital ID system as the foundation for a world of all-digital transactions.

One indication that this will ultimately fail is that trust horizon determines effective organisational scale. This attempted centralising and scaling up is occurring as the trust horizon is collapsing, meaning it will have no perceived legitimacy. Widespread resentment at vast inequality would amplify this considerably. The elites intend to substitute control for legitimacy, but such attempts have a poor track record and tend to end in revolution. Another limiting factor is the dependency of socioeconomic complexity on the availability of energy at a sufficiently high energy returned over energy invested (EROEI). A system trying to control billions of people at the level of the individual would add enormously to the degree of socioeconomic complexity required, but gross production has already peaked, EROEI is falling rapidly, and warmongers are busy destroying energy infrastructure in the Gulf. Even the ongoing attempt by the elites to reduce the population (through disease, deprivation, famine, and converting the ‘surplus’ into cannonfodder) would probably not be enough to bring the number down to a ‘mangeable size’. For these reasons, it seems predictable that the project will fail, but an enormous mess is being made in the meantime that will never be fully restored in a low energy future.

The two current major wars are connected, and may well merge into a full-blown WW3 as additional states are drawn in. Large scale wars have a way of getting out of hand, becoming more all-encompassing, and lasting for longer than the warring parties intended. Many states are already involved, and great deal of destruction is already taking place, notably of energy production facilities, refineries, ports and pipelines. The US, which is trying to cling to empire, appears to believe that they can cause the energy infrastructure of others to be destroyed while retaining their own intact, and then controlling the remaining energy market as a monopoly able to price gouge the rest of the planet. In reality, the US is not energy self-sufficient and will be less so by the year as the fracking industry oeaks and declines. Destruction of overseas energy infrastructure in West Asia and in Russian and Ukraine, will eventually impact the American energy market as well. Such are the foolish acts of empires in decline.

This empire has seen tens of trillions of dollars siphoned off by the rich in the last three decades – 21 trillion missing from government accounts, 29 trillion in bailouts, and five trillion in quantatative easing, as Catherin Austin-Fitts details. This has naturally flowed to the top of the financial food chain. This kind of utter corruption is also characteristic of the end of empire. They may buy themselves some time if the stablecoin plan temporarily succeeds, but the writing is on the wall in any case. A unipolar world in a second American century is not going to happen, as reality catches up with empire.

People should definitely be following Christian Westbrook (the iceage farmer) at UNSHADOWED. He’s an excellent systems thinker, and especially good on the issue of food. This particular interview is extremely informative. The goal of the globalist powers that be is to centralise as much power and control over the population as possible, hence they’re seeking to control all the essentials of existence, beginning with food and energy. Essentially what’s planned is a centrally planned corporate takeover of the food supply, with a view to corporate profits above all, with (false) sustainability as the marketing tool.

As far back as the 1960s, UN reports were discussing the need to feed people with factory products rather than with natural food produced on farms, although they acknowledged that people would not like this and would have to be forced. They called for a time when farming would be just a rich man’s hobby. The plans were initiated by Maurice Strong, a representaive of the Rockefellers, who was behind Agenda 21. He envisaged an era of public private partnerships, which merely means corporations having access to the public purse but retaining control behind the scenes. The public sector acts as the junior partner, and the resting place for socialised debt, while the profits are privatised. Strong’s wife, Hannah had a different perspective, seeking some kind of eco-communist reset, but their plans managed to dovetail because both sought total central control at the global level.

The idea was to impose a single diet on the entire planet, regardless of local ecological reality of cultural preferences evolved over centuries, in a one size fits all manner. This diet, designed by a group composed primarily of animal rights activists, was to contain at most very little in the way of animal products of any kind, and also no starchy vegetables. Ideally animal products were to be eliminated entirel, so the nutrient density of the diet would be greatly reduced. The emphasis was to be on whole grains, green vegetables, nuts, fake meat, insects, and legumes, all of which are problematic in large quantities due to phytic acid (chelates micronutrients), phytoestrogens (endocrine disrupters), thyroid suppressants, oxalates, promoters of chronic inflammation, indigestible chitins, protein absorption blockers etc. In addition, grains are now often desicated with glyphosate, which kills gut microflora (and also the soil microbiota that confer soil fertility). Since plants can’t run away, they practice forms of ‘chemical warfare’. Animal products (where unadulterated with chemicals and unnatural feedstocks) are very healthy and indeed necessary for complete nutrition, as proteins and fats are essential nutrients and carbohydrates are not. For instance, vitamin B12, which is essential, is only found in animal products. No attention was paid to the fact that grain production as currently practiced requires huge amounts of fossil fuel energy (for planting, fertilisers, pesticides, harvest, distribution etc) with ten units of energy in for every one unit of food energy produced. This is the antithesis of sustainability.

The Eat Foundation was intended, run by one of Klaus Schwab’s Young Global Leaders from the World Economic Forum (WEF), is supposed to be the Davos for food. The foundation is backed financially by bankers and by all the large agricultural corporations, chemical fertiliser companies, and food processors. In other words, the corporations that have created the current situation with over-processed and chemically adulterated ‘food’ with little nutritional value, are the ones to be in control of the future of food, where they will profit from malnutrition and the much reduced health of the population. They plan to enforce this by first demonising the consumption of natural foodstuffs, and later criminalising traditional food production from farming. It begins by emotionally brainwashing the youth, and encouraging them to criticise the choices of their parents. They will be told that their parents are simply ignorant and didn’t know any better because they didn’t have access to science. They will be made to feel superior, and to look down on any practice not sanctioned by the gatekeepers of ‘truth’. Restaurants are to be encouraged to stop serving meat, and to treat carnivores as socially unacceptable, like smokers. Meat is to be taxed punitively, as smoking currently is, in order to discourage it financially. All nutritional labelling is to reflect the new prevailing orthodoxy, meaning all of it will be inaccurate.

The WEF also promises millions of eyes surveilling people’s choices in order to ensure compliance with ‘climate and sustainability’ priorities. This would be achieved through a financial reset into programmable digital currencies, which would be fully transparent, so privacy would be eliminated. Finance is to have a large role in enforcement, as profitability is ultimately paramount. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is already forcing companies to impose ESG guidelines (extreme wokeness) that destroy their brands. Companies can choose to die quickly by having their access to credit withdrawn, or to die slowly as their brands are fatally undermined, as Bud Light recently discovered. The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is now the head of the WEF, and is on the record saying that BlackRock intends to use their financial leverage to force behavioural change.

Scientific debate is in danger as diversity of opinion is increasingly not tolerated. Journals are already hostage to those who hold the purse strings, so science has already been heavily corrupted by money. In the future that the globalists envisage, there would be uniformity of allowable thought, on food as with most other subjects. As was the case during the covid era, dissidents are to be discredited, censored, and punished.

A major goal is to get people off the land and into 15 minute cities where they can be coralled, and therefore more esasily surveilled and controlled. The land is to be privatised for the use of the super rich, including for the production of biofuels for their use, as a liquid and gaseous fuel crisis looms due to the disruption and destruction of the global fossil fuel industries, combined with rapidly falling energy returned over energy invested (EROEI). This is to be forced by curtailing access to transport fuel, and financially through artificially increased cost of essentials, ever-rising property taxes, increasing cost of insurance, general tax increases, and finally taxes on unrealised capital gains, as has already been imposed in the Netherlands. This means being sent a tax bill based on the increased capital value of assets, including primary residences. As the gain is unrealised until the property is sold, the income to pay the tax bill likely does not exist, meaning the asset must then be sold in order to pay the tax bill. The WEF slogan is “You will own nothing and you will be happy”, and this is how they intend to achieve that. If they succeed in getting farmers off their land, it would be very difficult to restore a resilient system.

Grassroots resistence against this assault on the food system, and many other aspects of life, is essential. Attempts at extreme centralisation are ultimately doomed to fail, as they always have, but it’s not yet clear how far the globalists will get with their plans. People must do everything they can to remain independent of the digital gulag system that they’re trying to impose. They will exert extreme pressure, as they did during the covid practice run. Any form of leverage that can be used against people will be used, whether debt or any form of dependence on government. Maintaining independence will be very challenging, but also of critical importance. It will be a question of outlasting them by maintaining independence until they eventually fail, but it will likely be necessary to accept many sacrifices and to live very simply. Living as close to nature as possible, maintianing as direct a connection with the essentials of one’s existence as possible, building community and relationships of trust, planning for collective resilience at the local level, and getting expectations in line with what reality can hope to deliver are necessary accommodations.

The US stages a disasterous operation to attempt to steal Iran’s enriched nuclear material, which they believed was being held in Isfahan. The operation cost them multiple aircraft and likely many casualties, although they don’t admit to those. Multiple generals had told Trump that this would be a disaster, but he didn’t listen. Instead he fired the generals. After the entirely predictable failure, the regime tried to spin the operation as a rescue of a downed pilot, but this made no sense given the scale of the forces deployed. Trump then called for a cesefire, presumably to provide breathing room for regrouping, since his offers of ceasefires or negotiations are always simply a pretext for some form of buying time for a sneak attack. The US is utterly untrustworthy and therefore not agreement capable.

The ceasefire announcement appeared to accept Iran’s conditions, which have not changed since the beginning of the conflict. Given that many of these conditions are completely contrary to the conditions previously stated by the US, it’s difficult to see why such an about-face would be considered credible. Iran’s 10-point peace plan:

1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again.
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire.
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran.
5. End to all regional fighting against Iran’s allies.
6. Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz.
7. Iran would impose a $2million fee per ship transiting Hormuz.
8. Iran would split these fees with Oman.
9. Iran would establish rules for safe passage through Hormuz.
10. Iran would use Hormuz fees for reconstruction in lieu of reparations.

In any case, within a matter of hours Israel had shattered any pretense of ceasefire by carpet-bombing Beruit, killing hundreds of civilians. The ceasefire terms as originally released had clearly included Lebanon, but Israel denied this, and the US walked back their agreement with the Pakistani intermediaries. It also denied that it had ever agreed to accept any of the Iranian conditions that it had publicly said were a basis for negotiation. In other words, there is no ceasefire, only a pause in some of the violence while other aspects continue to escalate. It’s clear that Israel is in the driver’s seat, pushing the ill-informed and confused American regime in whtever direction it chooses. It still intends the utter destruction of the Iranian state, as well as the annexation of Lebanon and Syria into Greater Israel.

One thing the ceasefire announcement did achieve was market manipulation. Just prior to the announcement, an insider who clearly knew the announcement was coming had placed a bet that the price of oil would fall, which it temporarily did, allowing the insider to make millions of dollars. Market manipulation is a regular occurence with the utterly corrupt Trump regime.

Even if the war were to end tomorrow, energy crisis is already guaranteed. It would take months to years to restore production and distribution of oil and LNG. Othe supply chains for other essential commodities have also been heavily impacted, and the downstream effects cannot now be avoided. Fertliser supplies will have missed a critical window for planting. Helium shortages will halt computer chip production lines. A lack of sulphuric acid will impact extractive industries. Bulk carriers transporting all manner of goods have been halted, with unknown effect on a just-in-time global economy. Extreme disruption is inevitable, and will only worsen the longer the conflict continues. Given that the worls has entered a war cycle, both trust and international law have broken down completely, and we now operate under imperial might makes right, the conflict appears likely to continue potentially for years. Adaptation to scarcity will be necessary.

The International Energy Agency (IEA), which remains a fan of the disastrous net zero agenda, is urging governments to introduce energy lockdowns, along the lines of what was imposed during the covid practice run. Mexico, under its WEF Young Global Leader (YGL), Claudia Shinebaum, is apparently volunteering to use the fuel crisis as leverage to force through the introduction of digital currency, as has long been planned. This is despite the fact that Mexico uses cash to a far greater extent than most countries. Shinebaum has announced that fuel will only be purchasable digitally. This is to ensure than citizens are forced to take on a digital ID, thereby forcing them through the gateway to the planned digital gulag.

Four day work weeks are already being introduced in various countries, ostensibly due to the fuel crisis, but this has been planned in advance. The endgame is for much of the economy to be closed down and for people to be put on UBI, but this is how the transition begins. The notion that people would eventually be allowed to sit at home in perpetuity collecting government money for doing nothing is fanciful of course. The elites have a population reduction agenda involving the so-called four horsemen of the apocalypse.

We’ve already had an introduction to the disease element, and the bioweapon response which was far worse than the disease itself. People are now weaker, more cognitively impaired, more suggestible, more likely to be disabled, more prone to other diseases now that their immune systems have been damaged, and overall more likely to have a limited lifespan. Next comes famine, caused by the energy crisis that’s only just beginning, and war, which has always been a means to reduce ‘excess’ population, particularly of the young men who might otherwise engage in resistance. The global elites have no interest in ‘useless eaters’, only in those who can be of some utility.

The digital gulag that they intend to introduce is essentially a slavery system, planned to have total central control over people’s lives, including the power to decide both how and whether people continue to live. People who are considered burdensome, due to age or disability, would not fare well under such a system. Those who are considered useful would be maximally exploited. During the introductory phases that we’re already experiencing, wealth is being systematically transfered up the financial food chain, so most people are being impoverished, by design, through huge increases in the cost of essentials, the price of insurance, ever-increasing property taxes, red-zoning of neighbourhoods due to imagined risks, the war on farming, increasing unemployment, coming cuts in wages and benefits, intended capital gains tax on unrealised gains, and any other means the elites can contemplate.

This is an engineered financial perfect storm, designed to rug-pull people while closing every escape route they can think of. Governments will be applauding each other for being maximally draconian in the control measures imposed on ordinary people, while dumping failing private credit investments on their erstwhile pension funds, and printing huge sums of money to gift to the upper echelons of society to bail them out of their financial committments. This is a K-shaped economy, where a portion of society experiences a new gilded age, while the rest sink into planned poverty, and perhaps destitution. It’s reminiscent of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.

The ‘Lucky Country’, which hasn’t even experienced a recession for a very long time, is being subjected to a form of managed takedown. Some of this may be a case of ‘never waste a good crisis’, and some is more planned than that. The war in West Asia (ie the Middle East) is causing oil shortages in Asia, from where Australia and New Zealand import liquid fuel since their own refining capacity has been drastically reduced (Australia) or eliminated entirely (New Zealand). People naturally stocked up on fuel, temporarily increasing demand to the point where shortages have been occurring before the real crisis hits. Despite the recent ceasefire, the fuel crisis has not yet been averted. The ceasefire may not hold, as Israel still intends to see Iran destroyed and may wreck the ceasefire itself, or other belligerents may simply resume the bombing on some excuse. Even if the ceasefire does hold, it will take a long time to clear the shipping backlog, to resume shut-in production, and to repair damaged or destroyed infrastructure. Australia and New Zealand are at the far end of the supply chain, so we can expect long term disruption.

Fuel supply disruption will turn into food supply disruption relatively quickly. Farm equipment requires huge amounts of diesel, and so do the trucks which distribute the food. Consumers typically require petrol or diesel in order to acquire food. They are being told to anticipate food shortages, and are therefore stocking up, and increasing demand in the process, thereby creating shortages. A scarcity mindset is setting in, which will naturally encourage accumulation of both food and fuel, and perpetuate shortages prior to crisis. Persistent shortages lead to calls for rationing, which leads in turn to governments assuming central control over resources, which was always the plan (see the WEF documents). Rationing by quantity is fairer than rationing by price, which would simpky starve poor people, but it also involves much greater meddling by governments that have already proven during covid not to have their citizens best interests at heart. Centralised systems like this also naturally lead to corruption.

Add to all this warning of cyberattacks, which the WEF have promised for several years, likely because they’ve been planning them in order to force through their agenda. That agenda is for full-blown central control of everything. There has already been a spate of ransomware attacks on businesses and institutions in the US, and more recently a cyber attack wiped out a corporation entirely by simply wiping out its data and online existence. This is far more devastating than a ransomeware attack, and is very likely to be replicated. An attack on the financial system is increasingly likely, since a major WEF goal is to break the existing system as a means to financial reset. Due to their supply chain vulnerability, Australia and New Zealand may be about to be used as guinea pigs for this, as island nations often are used as pilot projects for the whims of globalists.

General Wesley Clarke is on the record from 2002 saying that the US intended to take out seven countries in five years. Many more than five years later, Iran is the last country on the list. All the others have been taken down or ruined already. Iran is still standing, is independent of the American-controlled financial system (SWIFT), has significant energy reserves, and is a physical connection between Russia and China. All of these factors make it a target for takedown by a globalist elite seeking to impose an ironclad control grid on the world, mediated theough the financial system. They regard Iran is intolerable ‘leakage’ in that system. Catherine Austin Fitts, who was trained as a central banker but has chosen instead to expose the details of the planned control system, is the expert on all of this.

Iran is standing firm in the face of extreme threats from the US/Israeli rogue regimes. When Trump threatens to bomb bridges and power plants in order to “end a civilisation”, people form human chains around these assets to protect them. The US will probably bomb them anyway, as their regime has no concern for Iranian lives, having said that Iranians are animals so bombing them is not a war crime. This is beyond despicable.

The globalist elites are engineering demand destruction around the world, knowing that this will lead to mass death. Depopulation is a major part of their agenda. Energy, fertiliser, and many other key resources are being blocked by the war, as it was obvious they would be. Since it was obvious, it was clearly deliberate that this should happen. The results will be energy rationing, leading to lockdowns more severe and long lasting than under the covid practice run, and then famine in many parts of the world. Many millions will likely die. If the war leads to the destruction of desalination plants in the Gulf region, many more millions will die even more quickly.

The shortages created by the war are going to destroy whole economies, beginning with the small and medium sized businesses that provide livelihoods independent of government to the citizenry. The ability to exist independently is being undermined because people with independent means of survival can resist being sucked into the developing control grid. The globalists want maximum leverage over people, so they can be forced into a digital gulag.

The trap begins with digital ID, then either public sector programmable central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) or private sector programmable digital stablecoins. These will not be money, but glorified vouchers, the use of which is intended to be controlled at the level of the individual. Only a small amount of such currency would be provided under such a wholly government-dependent universal basic income (UBI) system, in order to force limits on access to resources. In other words, this is a harsh rationing system designed to keep non-elites at roughly the level of an 18th century peasant. There is to be a strict limit to how much can be held, and if not used in a specific timeframe, the purchasing power would expire. There are to be controls on what can be purchased, for instance to limit consumption of the animal products that are essential for health.

Where such currency would function would also be controlled, so as to financially fence people into the 15 minute cities (ie concentration camps) they have planned for the population. Rural people are too independent for the globalists’ liking, so considerable efforts are being made to separate farmers in particular from their land in order to herd them into urban corrals. Farms in various countries are being given strict CO2 and nitrogen emissions limits, charged for water even from wells or rainfall, told they can’t use areas of their land with native foliage, deprived of fuel and fertilizer, and potentially subjected to tax on unrealised capital gains, which would force many to sell. Other rural people may find that the limits on fuel access to be applied across the board would be insufficient for them to live where they do, especially if small local shops are forced to close.

Remaining independent of government is going to become increasingly difficult, by design, but also more necessary than ever. It will require a determined effort, and will likely involve coping with a very basic level of existence lacking in modern conveniences, at least for a time. Getting out of debt and acquiring hard assets if you possibly can will be extremely important. Any purchasing power outside of the digital system will also matter. This could be bitcoin temporarily (it’s a ponzi scheme, and all ponzi schemes are risky and temporary), or precious metals. Silver may be more useful than gold as it’s a less concentrated source of value. The elites will try to confiscate these, in order to close off escape routes, but they’re unlikely to succeed fully. Other forms of assets that confer control over the essentials of one’s existence will be critical. People with less means will probably need to pool resources with others in the same position in order to obtain shared assets.

The globalist plans rest on a huge increase in socioeconomic complexity, which in turns requires plentiful energy. The wars in West Asia (ie the Middle East) and Ukraine are currently seeing energy infrastructure being destroyed en masse, and wars have a distinct tendency to get out of hand in uncontrollable ways. The energy neccessary for the control grid may not be available for much longer. The upside of this is that the globalists are very likely to fail in their attempt to impose central control, or at least its lifespan would limited. This means that maintaining independence for long enough to outlast them may well be possible. They’re in a rush to implement their plans, as the private credit market is beginning to collapse, and the bond market is also faltering. (Toxic financial assets in the private credit market are being pushed into pension funds in order to loot them of whatever value remains.) Rushed plans become too obvious, and this causes people to wake up to what’s being done to them. If enough people wake up before the digital ID trap has closed on them, all the plans could fail early.

In the meantime, the dying US empire is caught in Thucydidies trap, trying to prevent the rise of the empire in the ascendancy in Asia. It’s not going to stop unless forced to do so. It’s presently attempting to suck its vassals states dry of resources for its own benefit. Its mafia tactics involve bribery, extortion, and threats. The vassals are being told to invest in the US, but with little or no prospect of profitting from doing so. They’re all in a dollar debt trap, meaning that the empire can destroy their economies on a whim through financial controls if they refuse to comply, as they recently did to Iran in order to spark riots as a justification for war. If they balk at continuing to support the empire by buying its debt, the US will make a bid for their citizenry with stablecoins – essentially enticing people to use US treasury debt as their currency, sold as convenience. This would destroy the competing local currencies. The vassals are also being told to impose conscription on their populations so that their people can be deployed as cannon -fodder in the empire’s resource wars. Countries attempting to retain control of their own resources can expect to be targetted for regime change. Empires never die quietly, and this one has nuclear weapons under the control of a mad wannabe king.
