Is cryptocurrency a result of systemic collapse?

Did Bitcoin arise organically from Satoshi Nakamoto as a result of the 2008 financial shenanigans?

We don’t know who Nakamoto was. The answer is shrouded in darkness, so you better believe that there are conspiracy theories on this topic! Was it an NSA/CIA project from the beginning to usher in the transformed and controlled economy we’re stepping into?

Yet that’s hard to matchup with the libertarian ethic of the vast majority of people in the crypto space, especially early on.

Understand this is a system, designed how it is to be decentralized and trustless, that could free us from the centralized system of financial tyranny and control we live under. Or at least that’s on the surface.

However, I don’t want to underestimate their ability to co-opt movements or utilize multi-layered deception, including roping in numerous patsies in a long-range plan.

Even if Bitcoin was something built to help free people from the beginning, in what ways can the narrative be steered?

There is no doubt in my mind that cryptocurrency is the basis of our future economy (unless we destroy ourselves back to the stone age or a solar flare wipes out all electronics). This complete transformation will take place over the next decade or two. The question is whether it is economic collapse or economic controlled demolition as I’ve been talking about? Or, most likely in my opinion, some combination of the two, a steering of collapse in a certain direction to “build back better” how it is desired.

The conclusion that crypto is the future of money, in one form or another, is one thing.

But HOW exactly it plays out, for better or worse, is what I’m really interested in. If you and I can get this right, it will be easier to navigate future events, including making “civilization collapse stack” investments along the way.

This article focuses on Bitcoin almost exclusively. The next part will look into other cryptocurrencies, most notably the field of stablecoins and CBDC’s (Central Banker Digital Currencies).

Bitcoin’s Origin Story

Bitcoin as a Technology to Free Us from Banker Control

The 2008 financial crisis had kicked off with Lehman Brothers collapsing in September. Satoshi Nakamoto put out a whitepaper on October 31^st that year, titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

As a result, Bitcoin began with its genesis block on January 3^rd, 2009, when the first 50 BTC were mined into existence. 

Contained in this genesis block was a hidden message, “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks,” which was the headline of The Times newspaper that day.

And so it was that Bitcoin was initiated as a solution to the systems caused by bankers. Meanwhile, via their captured government partners, the bank that were “too big to fail” were rewarded for bad choices to “preserve the system”.

This reminds me of the Buckminster Fuller quote that I often think about…

Here was something that didn’t aim to fight the system, but instead to overcome it by building something better.

And so most of the people involved in the early days were crypto-anarchists and libertarians.

Fast forward about 13 years, and Bitcoin has become the third or forth largest currency near its peak price, give or take, only behind US dollars, Euros, and likely Chinese yuan.

We don’t know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Was he just a smart but otherwise average person interested in cryptography that kicked off a revolution?

Way back in 1517, Martin Luther posted his “Ninety-five Theses” in the church door, condemning the corrupt world power of the time, the Roman Catholic Church. This event kicked off the Protestant Revolution, which over the coming centuries would alter the course of Western civilization and thus the world.

Is it a coincidence that Martin Luther posted the Thesis on October 31^st, the same day as Nakamoto’s whitepaper? Or was this another “encoded” message?

Regardless, it is worth considering that the Bitcoin Whitepaper started a similar trend in action. That we are in the midst of a revolution just beginning to take shape.

Make no mistake, there were previous attempts at cryptocurrency, like Bit Gold and Hashcash. But Bitcoin was the first one to become successful and reach a dominating network effect.

Bitcoin is currently over 40% of all crypto by value and that is near it’s lowest ever mark. The next player, Ethereum, isn’t even half that.

Still, this story is only one narrative and is not the only option…

Bitcoin as a Controller Plot from the Beginning

It’s tough, without knowing much of anything really about Satoshi Nakamoto, to judge where this came from.

There are conspiracy hypotheses that Bitcoin was a CIA plot from the very beginning. Or NSA, or bankers, or whatever other powerful entity you might think of.

What if the controllers of the world saw that the fiat system was unsustainable, especially with the grift-machine involved, and wanted to start up a new system that would give them even more control?

Satoshi Nakamoto, whomever that is, is sitting on a stash of 1.1 million BTC. That’s worth about $40 billion USD in today’s prices. If it was one person, that person would be roughly the 15^th richest person on earth (publicly anyway) from this alone.

What happens if this money ever actually moves?

Could a new system have been designed from the ground up?

Oh, how devious would it be to enroll libertarians into your new system, only to enslave all people even more so later on.

To me, this seems a bit of a stretch. I concede it is possible because no one really knows how the world works. But that doesn’t mean it seems likely.

After all, there isn’t really anything I’ve seen in the way of proof to back this up. Nothing solid I’ve seen anyway. (If you have data, please do let me know.)

This is a conspiracy theory that exists only off of conjecture. That doesn’t make it wrong, but certainly very opaque. Based on other evidence they do seem capable of pulling of massive, devious and long-range planes.

Secondly, the fixed and therefore sound money supply, plus the decentralization involved do seem quite contrary to the ideas of centralized control.

Related to this is the idea that Bitcoin was a prototype, but was never meant to be the final solution. Which brings us to the next narrative. Even if Bitcoin had noble intentions from the beginning, doesn’t mean that would always be the case…

Bitcoin Co-Opted?

Do NOT underestimate the ability to co-opt and steer legitimate movements. We see CIA infiltration of the feminist movement, FBI infiltration of anti-Vietnam movements with COINTELPRO and so much more. We see powers that be literally involved in terrorist acts, murdering innocent people with Operation Gladio to steer the narrative as desired. There are so many examples of this.

So what if Bitcoin was a legitimate revolution as it may well have been?

Do you think the powers that be would simply roll over and allow a new financial system to take away all their power? Of course not!

Infiltrating the movement and influencing its direction would be expected. It’s not a question of if…but how. What does that look like exactly?

Here’s one possibility. The following comes from an exchange years ago I had with my friend who gave me permission to share this. (Some slight edits involved for readability.)

---

I’ll distill it down for you as best as possible. It’s like this:

Original Bitcoin = First big threat to banks in many centuries. Original bitcoin is called bitcoin core.

Banks form fund through AXA Investors (well over trillion in assets) – many ties to Bilderberg group, institutional investors, etc (ref: AXA is the second most powerful transnational corporation in terms of ownership and thus corporate control over global financial stability and market competition)

AXA Investors does (documented, likely much more) 75m investment into a company called Blockstream.

Blockstream goes on hiring spree of some of the best blockchain programmers at high pay and begins to do 4 things:

1. Inject proprietary patentable code (with NSA back door) into bitcoin core’s code.
2. Break the functionality of bitcoin core so it is NOT usuable as peer to peer electronic cash, resulting in centralized nodes of control (lightening network), like banks have with high fees so they can control it better. This was what the big block/small block debate was. Blockstream limited blocksize to destroy the functionality of bitcoin (slow to no confirmations) and charge high fees from a tollbooth position.
3. Turn it into a financial instrument, like a security so they could drive up the price and crash it to make money and shake the publics confidence and control it.
4. Hired a massive social media trolling army to change the narrative to “store of value” and “digital gold” (i,e., not a medium of exchange for normal people) and viciously attack other crypto’s namely, Bitcoin Cash which forked away from Core and is actually the original bitcoin.

The first post in this thread lays out what AXA actually is and what it’s doing nicely.

Here’s an infographic but it’s only a fragment of what’s going on and out of date by several years.

FYI this is the only uncensored Bitcoin forum on Reddit. The rest are controlled by the troll army and heavily censored as is twitter, etc – owner of twitter is actually paid Blockstream shill, no shit.

ETH was actually created because Vitalik was blocked by Blockstream from using his ideas in Bitcoin.

Do you know about that Tether scam? In a nutshell, Tether acts as a large central bank for Bitcoin core. Every time the price of core goes down they will mint millions of tether and buy Bitcoin core to prop the price up. An academic paper was even written about this that proved the link, mostly through Bitfinex.

I don’t want to be anywhere around core when that pops. It will bring down the whole system for awhile, but especially core.

To wrap it up, Bitcoin Cash is the original bitcoin. It’s super fast, super low fee and used grassroots world-wide. It is the original Bitcoin. Bitcoin Core is no longer bitcoin, that ceased with the fork. Roger Ver is a libertarian who is the largest proponent of BCH or bitcoin cash, he gets DESTROYED in social media by the Core Troll Army. Here is his site which is pretty much the only non-propaganda news you can get in the crypto world (i.e., it’s not controlled by blockstream).

I paid my brother $200 in BCH (bitcoin cash) last night, payment went through in 2 seconds. I use it online all the time. The utility is there.

Crazy story!

***

I personally have not dug deeply into all this to vet it out, but share it here to share the possibility and have the links for digging deeper to start your research if you want.

This has the ring of accuracy to me. It absolutely is true that BCH is faster and cheaper to use than BTC for transactions.

And I have dug into the shadiness of Tether (USDT).

If the bankers that essentially control the world economic system saw a threat in Bitcoin, why wouldn’t they do something about it? If you couldn’t outright destroy it due to its decentralized nature, the least you could do is get your tentacles into it, just like they’ve done with pretty much every single big institution in our world. In that way this seems to follow the playbook.

And of course there’s even more rabbit holes to go down…

There is Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto (most people don’t believe him as his proof is dubious at best). But Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was forked to become Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV). If BCH is the true Bitcoin, was this another co-opting, done to further muddy the waters and make BCH seem less useful by confusing people?

One of the best ways to keep people from finding the truth is to layer in more deception. When there’s too many rabbit holes to go down, there will be massive confusion. And a confused mind is easier to control.

Block Size and Decentralization

However, I list that as a possibility. I do understand something of the contrary argument. To increase Bitcoin’s block size would increase its centralization. Bitcoin (BTC) blocks are 1MB in size. With that its entire history is about 380GB in size.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blocks are up to 32MB in size.

It’s entire blockchain size is only 176 GB. Why is it smaller, if it has a larger block size? Less transactions in total. BTC is much more popular and thus has many more transactions.

For those of you who have no idea what this means, let me explain it simply. These bigger block sizes mean that transactions are cheaper and faster as more transactions are contained in each block. However, this does come at a cost of decentralization. The miners (or validators in other blockchains) need storage space and capacity to hold the blockchain so they can secure and verify transactions. The bigger the chain is, the less individual people can do it on home computers and the more big dedicated companies need to be involved. If people alone can’t do it, only big companies can, then this is more centralized. More details on BTC vs BCH in this article.

And just to throw it in there, BSV has a 2GB block size! The chain is 2334 GB and growing fast.

(Compare also to one of the hot blockchains right now, Solana (SOL), which has a 1GB block size every second, producing 4 petabytes of data per year. While they split validators and archivers, this doesn’t seem like a sustainable model. In any case it is highly centralized and subsidized.)

This website gives you a visual of the traffic on a few of the different blockchains, with each transaction represented by a person, and each block represented by a bus, smaller or bigger depending on blocksize.

Understand that decentralization is key to keeping it uncontrollable by ANY entity. This is what the bitcoin maximalists are shouting about.

So that covers some of the theories about the past. Now we’re going to switch gears and look at some ongoing narratives about Bitcoin.

Current Bitcoin Narratives

Bitcoin is Bad for the Environment

This is probably the most prevalent of the narratives. Here’s a video from Coin Bureau that goes over the facts.

Bitcoin can be mined with polluting forms of energy, absolutely. But it also can and does use sustainable forms of energy for mining, with this being an ever growing amount. It can also use wasted energy production such as the flare off of natural gas at oil mining sites to also mine bitcoin, further improving economics.

In short, “bitcoin is bad for the environment” is easily falsifiable in a couple of ways.

1. The traditional finance system that Bitcoin aims to replace takes far more energy than bitcoin does.
2. Compare the energy used for let’s say the US military. The left doesn’t really talk about reducing that, even though they use to be anti-war, instead they focus on favorite enemies like bitcoin instead.

And maybe part of the narrative is that Bitcoin isn’t good for the environment, so another system such as any of the proof-of-stake cryptos which are much more energy efficient (and typically much more centralized) should take its place.

Still this narrative is constantly reiterated. We see headlines such as “Iran Orders Crypto-Mining Ban to Save Power During Winter Crunch.” As it appears that there are energy troubles on the horizon (like in Germany due to the intermittent production of renewable energy sources), this will continually be used to attack Bitcoin. (On the flip side people are talking about how bitcoin mining can actually be used to heat people’s homes!)

Rest assured, with the ongoing climate change narrative, this narrative regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrency is not going away anytime soon.

Bitcoin is Used By Criminals

In a WSJ interview, Bill Gates was asked what technological advancement the world could do without. Gates replied, “The way cryptocurrency works today allows for certain criminal activities. It’d be good to get rid of that,” he quickly added: “I probably should have said bio weapons. That’s a really bad thing.”

This is darkly hilarious to me in many different ways. The thing is I think Gates likes bioweapons…

Early on, bitcoin was used to fund WikiLeaks when they were blocked by a financial blockade which included Bank of America, Visa, MasterCard, Paypal and Western Union in 2010.

One of Satoshi’s last few posts read, “The project needs to grow gradually so the software can be strengthened along the way. I make this appeal to WikiLeaks not to try to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage…It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.”

Satoshi’s warning was not heeded. WikiLeaks started taking Bitcoin payments in June of 2011.

Was it this event that got the financial powers to start targeting and co-opting Bitcoin?

Yes, Bitcoin was used by people to buy drugs, including online. But so is cash. And the stats show that more financial crime is done with the US dollar over anything else. In that way this narrative is quickly falsifiable. The US dollar or other fiat currencies aren’t targeted by the narrative because of their use by criminals. (After all the biggest criminals, the bankers, use their fiat currencies of choice.)

Of course they never let the facts get in the way of a narrative. Senator Elizabeth Warren echoes these: “Cryptocurrencies have created opportunities to scam investors, assist criminals, and worsen the climate crisis.” A triple whammy!

It happened with WikiLeaks. It’s happening now…

Bitcoin Funds Terrorists!!!

While this has been an ongoing narrative for some time, there’s a present event that is being talked about in these regards.

The Freedom Convoy in Canada. Here’s a couple videos for those not familiar with this (what with the mainstream media blackout primarily, and smear campaigns secondarily).

Or as the narrative basically talks about it “Attack of the Transphobic Putin-Nazi Truckers!” (<–CJ Hopkins gives his humorous take on it in this article.)

Funding was raised initially through GoFundMe. They, being a Silicon Valley company, stopped the funding. (For many people this was the first time they heard of GoFundMe doing such, but they’ve been delisting anti-narrative things for well over a year now.)

The crowdraising platform GiveSendGo became the next place to be used with almost $10 million raised so far. As a result they were:

1. Hit by denial-of-service attacks to disrupt the website.
2. Hacked and their donor list doxxed.
3. Ordered by a Canadian court order to cease transferring funds to which they said basically you can’t tell us what to do.

Now, funding is being frozen at the bank level, as part of the Emergency Act that Trudeau’s WEF’s penetrated government has unleashed.

Back to our main story, in addition to GiveSendGo, TallyCoin is being used to fund the convoy movement with bitcoin.

Bitcoin is great in that it can’t be censored. That’s what people have been talking about for a long time, ever since WikiLeaks. However, if they’re freezing bank accounts (not to mention crypto exchange accounts) you can’t necessarily transform BTC into fiat currency. This is okay if others will take your BTC, but not if you need to go from one economic system to another.

BREAKING: Canadian Federal Police call for FINTRAC to block over 30+ #Bitcoin wallets from transacting with major financial institutions.

— Dennis Porter (@Dennis_Porter_) February 16, 2022

This story is continuing to unfold by the day.

As the terrorism narrative is largely being turned internally with domestic terrorism (including those spreaders of false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories), continue to look for this to target bitcoin and other cryptos.

Bitcoin May Play a Role in the Cyber Pandemic

I covered the coming cyber pandemic possibilities at extensive length here. Long read, but well worth it to better understand the major possibilities of the next COVID-sized world-shaping narrative.

In short, Bitcoin being used as the crypto of choice for hackers doing ransomware of other cyber attacks. (Actually Monero and other privacy coins are far better than Bitcoin as it is relatively easy to track Bitcoin on the blockchain.)

I finally found the video that I couldn’t find for that post! Matthew Kratter discusses how such an event could specifically target Bitcoin. The scenario he lays out starting at 5:55 is:

1. Global internet outage
2. Shadowy super-coder hackers demand Bitcoin ransom
3. Global outcry against Bitcoin
4. Coordinated global crackdown on Bitcoin
5. This then leads to a global war on cyber terrorism that leads to required internet registration, “internet passports,” CBDC’s and the like to further control…

Definitely seems like a good way to go with the plan. Squeeze out bitcoin while CBDC’s and your digital ID, the trusted solution, come in its place.

Bitcoin Will Be Banned or Regulated Out of Existence

All of these other narratives lead to the idea that bitcoin will be banned.

Its tough because as long as enough people use it bitcoin will continue on the trajectory it’s been on since its inception, which is towards mass adoption.

But if one or multiple of these narratives are successfully used, I can’t fully discount this possibility. Even if it never happens, that certainly won’t stop the headlines. For example, Bank of India to totally ban crypto or ‘Snow Job’: The Plot to Hand the Crypto Industry to the Big Banks.

Bitcoin has been claimed dead some 444 times in the media now! But then some people just make bad projections…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t want to underestimate my enemy’s ability to co-opt movements and steer the narrative. The aforementioned narratives ramped up far and hard enough could ultimately lead to this place of crushing bitcoin.

The following is a long video but a good discussion with Catherine Austin Fitts, author of the Solari Report, some of the best intel for the people in my opinion, and Aleks Svetski, found of Amber a Bitcoin app and editor of The Bitcoin Times, hosted by Dr. Mercola:

Can Bitcoin Circumvent Economic Tyranny

Fitts viewpoint is that basically some of the narratives mentioned here will crush bitcoin. That it was a prototype of the controllers from the beginning. And that digital money cannot help us thrive if other steps aren’t taken to stop the digital control grid.

On the other side…Svetski’s thesis is related to the next point, and switches gears to a more positive narrative for Bitcoin…

The Bitcoin Standard

Bitcoin is designed to be inflationary but at a set amount that cannot be changed. Furthermore, it is a decreasing amount, unlike the inflation we’re facing now and is fiat’s destiny. This makes bitcoin scarce.

And as Michael Saylor has argued, it is the first currency that was ever engineered to be so. In other words, it is the first technological improvement in money as a whole in a long time.

The further innovation is that it was designed to be trustless, or perhaps in a better put way, the trust is so flatly distributed (through the miners) that there is no central controller. No central controller means a fair and independently sovereign money.

That these factors could lead to Bitcoin becoming the standard by which the global money supply is used. It could be the bitcoin standard like it used to be the gold standard. And in fact, bitcoin is superior to gold in several ways not the least of which is its ease and cost in being moved.

(One possible scenario that came to mind is what if we get to a Bitcoin standard…only to later have that removed decades later through one means or another? Again, co-opting and steering narratives is always done.)

So even if it was crippled to become “digital gold” instead of “digital cash” the benefits of this being the settlement layer for the world could very well be vast.

I highly recommend the book, The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous for more details on this scenario, and the viewpoint of why humanity should adopt it.

This is what all the bitcoin maximalists are pushing for. The fact that there is an actual possibility of it occurring, makes bitcoin worth investing in at some level, in my opinion.

Does this solve all our problems? Of course not! But we absolutely need steps in the right direction.

Even just to have bitcoin as one of many possible currencies does give big utility for savers and censorship resistance. Where I disagree with Fitts on this subject is that bitcoin is a helpful step in the right direction. It can be used now to help us, but certainly is just one tool in a kit we need to assemble.

Bitcoin as Legal Tender & Sovereign Money

Related to this we see the adoption of bitcoin as money, not just by people and institutions but by countries.

El Salvador made the news last year when they adopted it as legal tender, in addition to the US dollar.

My prediction, as well as the prediction of many others, is that this year we’ll see more countries follow suit.

Basically, it’s going to go one of two ways. Will there be contagion, other countries doing the same? Or it will be crushed in some form?

If Bitcoin does indeed fight the powers-that-be, El Salvador is very likely in for a rough ride ahead. This includes regime change being on the table. (Libya’s leader Gadaffi wanted an African union and currency outside the petro dollar for example.) Still, if such attacks can be weathered, and if it is played smartly El Salvador could become much more successful.

If Bitcoin is part of wicked a plan of centralization through deception, then El Salvador may do well indeed, but slowly move towards greater control and less freedom.

There are some concerns towards the later being the case with the Lightning wallet. Bukele ‘Has Not Responded’ to Claims of Bitcoin Vanishing From Citizens’ Wallets: Report. If that indeed is happening, that is certainly anything but sovereign money!

And this stuff looks straight out of the WEF’s future desires. (Is Bukele’s cabinet penetrated too?)

I am very curious to see how this plays out. Exactly how things go for El Salvador gives us very strong hints as to whether Bitcoin is really for freedom or has been controlled/co-opted.

Should You Invest in Bitcoin?

In summation, I don’t know where it came from! I don’t know where it’s going!

This article probably gives you more questions than answers. But at the very least I hope this has given a good overview of the different possible past and future scenarios and various ways they could play out.

As for your own personal investing, understand this. At worst Bitcoin can go to zero. The chances of this happening are far less than that of other cryptocurrencies, but it is still possible. Besides that it may get controlled in such as way that it becomes less usable (the platforms that allow convertibility to fiat).

On the positive side, bitcoin is censorship resistant and in its short history, has been not just a store of value but ever increasing in value when looked at in the span of years. That this could continue means the sky is the limit on where bitcoin could go.

For it to back the world’s financial system or even just a portion of it would mean a six and eventually seven figure bitcoin.

Even (especially?) if it is controlled/co-opted it may still have a role for the powers that be. And that would almost certainly mean its value will go up.

I remember someone mentioned that they can’t kill bitcoin because it would kill trust in digital money which would be bad for CBDC’s. I’ll tag on that they can’t kill it YET, but that time may indeed come.

Playing the odds, it is my opinion that you ought to have some bitcoin. Worst case is it goes to zero. Best case is sky is the limit. How much is up to you.

Here’s my free crypto crash course that will help you buy your first bitcoin and here’s the complete crash course to go much deeper (including how to earn interest on Bitcoin and far more).

The next article will continue talking about economic collapse and demolition but with a wider net of other cryptocurrencies, most notably stablecoins and CBDC’s.

Klaus Schwab is the one who coined the term “cyber pandemic” stating that the COVID-19 crisis would be “a small disturbance in comparison.”

A small disturbance in comparison. Just imagine a world-shaping event larger than what we’ve gone through the past couple of years. Are you ready for that?

This article explores what that might look like, and how to best be prepared for it. I included a little bit about this in my 2022 predictions. And here is the deep dive as promised.   

I was struck reading The Real Anthony Fauci, especially the last chapter where RFK Jr. goes into all the pandemic-planning exercises over the past two decades. Many of these war games I was familiar with. Some were new to me. It’s a big list which includes:

• Dark Winter
• Atlantic Storm
• Global Mercury
• The SCL Simulation
• Lockstep Simulation
• MARS
• SPARS
• Clade X
• Crimson Contagion
• TOPOFF
• Event 201

Each and every event focused on vaccines, grabbing more totalitarian control and using censorship. None of them focused on actually keeping people healthy, such as repurposing therapeutics, having stockpiles ready, etc. (Isn’t it amazing that despite all these we didn’t have enough PPE on hand? It must be Trump’s fault!)

RFK wrote, “After 9/11, the rising biosecurity cartel adopted simulations as signaling mechanisms for choreographing lockstep response among corporate, political, and military technocrats charge with managing global exigencies. Scenario planning became an indispensable device for multiple power centers to coordinate complex strategies for simultaneously imposing coercive controls upon democratic societies across the globe.”

This is how conspiracies operate. These events are the training ground for the top-down organization. The planning and training was about making sure the powers-that-be could and would act in lockstep, which happened to be the name of one such exercise.

On that note, I like Iain Davis’ model of:

1. Core Conspirators
2. Informed Influencers
3. Deceived Influencers

One way to think about such events is this is a place for backroom deals to be made by the core conspirators with the informed influencers (core conspirators knowing the full plan while informed influencers play their small part and are bribed/blackmailed/etc. to do so). It’s little more than business deals, albeit with some more nefarious aims.

Beyond that these are also the place where hypnotic programming begins on the deceived influencers. It starts here before it is rolled out worldwide by structuring the frame, by setting the policies. He who controls the frame controls the conversation.

Thus it is in these exercises where the mass formation psychosis seeds are planted.

Reading RFK’s book brought me back to watching the full Event 201 videos which I did when the pandemic started. Here’s my March 2020 article.

Something stood out to me in reviewing this information. In Event 201 they predicted internet blackouts in some countries as part of the censorship/pandemic response. In other words, they were planning for (expecting?) pushback to be even greater early on and thus needing to do such things! As our pushback and escalation increases, so too will those.

Hmmm…Kazakstan just had an internet blackout. (I haven’t dug down this rabbit hole as of yet, suffice to say some shady stuff is going on there.)

That all brings me to today’s topic. The same kinds of people have been conducting war games regarding a cyber pandemic.

Back in 2020 when the pandemic started, I had to play catchup. Sure, I was way ahead of the curve compared to most people, but still in elementary school in understanding the global push going on compared to my knowledge base now. If you’ve been with me since the beginning you’re in much the same boat.

This time I want to be more ready ahead of time by reviewing all the cyber pandemic material I can find to be prepared for what is coming next. When you see the “writing on the wall” there is no doubt that such an event is being planned, trained, coordinated for the world to march in lockstep.

Cyber Pandemic Cui Bono

Let’s start with who benefits? From Schwab, also stated in the video at the top of this post, “Cybercrime and global cooperation should be at the forefront of the global agenda.”

So what is that global agenda? I’ll boil it down to “top-down surveillance and control” which can be broken down to two main factors here:

1. Digital ID’s. If you can only access the online world by being identifiable then any cybercrime is tied to you or stopped before it begins. Total surveillance of the global livestock, aka humanity, especially as we’re pushed and pulled more online.
   
2. CBDC’s, that is central banker digital currencies. All money is becoming digital. No anonymous transactions means they have total surveillance on every transaction, and can stop you from participating in the economy if they want.

It’s the China model but applied on a global scale.

General manager of the BIS (Bank of International Settlements, aka the central bank of central bankers), Agustín Carstens, said, “The key difference with the CBDC is that central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability [aka money]. And also we will have the technology to enforce that.” (emphasis added)

Let me state that such technologies wouldn’t by themselves be bad. Not necessarily. Obviously, being involved in cryptocurrency, ecommerce, and our modern world I’m not against digital money.

Certain types of digital ID could possibly even be useful to help with logins, security and the like.

Always these things are talked about in the good they can do. And that possibility is certainly there. It must be to hypnotize the masses who are good or at least neutral people.

However, the people “in charge” are criminals. I know that. You know that. Therefore, I do not trust anything they are doing involving technology.

Nor does this mean everyone involved in such events are “in on it”. You have to understand how both compartmentalization and hiding nefarious plots behind golden words work, aka the deceived influencers which makes up most of the people propagating the narrative. The fact that that makes up most people doesn’t preclude the fact there are some people who really do conspire, who are actually sociopaths and evil, and those they control with blackmail or other methods.

Thus, overall, we’re going to look at such events with an aim of seeing how it moves the powerful towards the system of desired complete control. How would a cyber pandemic lead to the use of more technology to control all citizens? That is the lens this article looks through.

As I’ve written about before, for the CBDC’s the economy is being reformatted. The old system is dying. Just like the COVID pandemic gave further license to grab power, print money and blame it all on the scapegoat of the virus (and at this stage scapegoating people who don‘t listen to authorities) so too will this next pandemic.

In other words, the bankers aren’t to blame for the next steps in our worldwide economy being destroyed. It will be the cyber pandemic’s fault.

Such digital money gives them additional tools of control such as negative interest rates that affect people. Here’s an IMF article on How to Make Negative Interest Rates Work. (And why the virus was illogically part of the war on cash.)

Klaus Schwab introduces Cyber Polygon to be gone in depth shortly as such, “We must do so with a broader mission in mind. To improve the state of our digital world by enhancing, on the one hand global cooperation, but also public-private cooperation.”

Public-private cooperation is the merging of big business and governments. Throughout this list of exercises, you’ll see that this merger is looked at as the only possibly solution, just like totalitarian lock downs, censorships and vaccines were the only game plan discussed in the pandemic war games.

Their mission can be boiled down to the elites of massive business (private) to steer government policy (public) via the corrupt revolving door between them.

More centralized power, in their hands, is the only route to cyber security as they define it. This is how they frame it.

World Economic Forum’s Overview of the Cyber Pandemic

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is partnered with many people in these cyber war games. They may not be the top of the conspirator pyramid but they’re certainly big players in it as they’re pushing the overall policy agenda. Here’s a short video with a few key excerpts below.

“A cyber attack with COVID-like characteristics would spread faster and farther than any biological virus”

While the coronavirus has drawn on (two years to flatten the curve!) such an event could be likely much faster.

“COVID-19 was known as an anticipated risk. So is the digital equivalent.”

Again, why was our response so bad? If the USA is so great why do they have the most deaths? Ah, of course…it surely must be because of racist, antivaxxer republicans…not that pharmaceutical control is strongest here and we killed off COVID patients with non-treatment then ventilators and remdesivir, incentivizing hospitals to do so.

“The only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable devices from one another and from the internet. All of this in a matter of days. A single day without the internet would cost our economies more than 50 billion US dollars, and that is before considering the economic and societal damages should these devices be linked to essential services, such as transport or healthcare.”

THIS IS KEY. A total internet blackout could be part of the big event. Imagine the economic disruption. Imagine the fear and anxiety generated by everyone that doesn’t know how to exist without the internet. They are boldly telling you this could very well happen.

(I wonder about one thing that could happen with such. Could incriminating pages and even internet archives be removed in such an event on the reboot? Some people recommend downloading files and/or printing them out as certain things might be memory-holed on the internet completely.)

Remember that the economic destruction was not caused by the virus but by the government’s response to the virus.

Such a cyber pandemic could be much the same. The goal is economic transition into their new system of increased control. What better way to help that happen then to completely blow up the worldwide economy?

One of the main wargames goes by the name of Cyber Polygon, an ongoing series of events…

Cyber Polygon 2019

“The fight against cybercrime cannot be waged alone. The sooner the public and private sectors learn to cooperate, the faster we can build a safe and secure cyberspace,” reads the website. In other words, top down control and coordination is the only answer.

The Cyber Polygon events are run by WEF’s Centre for Cybersecurity. Here’s an intro video.

One big takeaway from the results report was that “The ransomware infection turned out to be the most difficult scenario for the participants: only one company was able to mitigate the attack independently.” We’ll see this theme keep on appearing.

Cyber Polygon 2020

The website states “The central theme of the event was a ’digital pandemic’: how to prevent a crisis and to reinforce cybersecurity on all levels.”

And the full report includes:

“One of the most striking and exciting transformations caused by the pandemic has been our transition to the digital ‘everything’, both in our professional and also in our personal lives,” says Klaus Schwab. He’s excited by the pandemic because it is leading the world to where he wants it to go.

“Our research reveals that 83% of companies have no recovery plans in place.” These are going to be mostly smaller to midsized companies. Those that likely do have plans are the biggest corporations in the world. Thus, a worldwide digital attack could cause more harm to smaller businesses leading to greater consolidation of the biggest players, those partnered with the WEF. Just like small businesses got shuttered during the pandemic while the big players stayed open a big cyber pandemic could do much the same.

“Information and money remain the main target of cybercriminals. In 2019–2020, the world witnessed a wave of massive data leaks — even technologically advanced companies were not always immune. This is why, for the technical part of our training, we developed an attack scenario which in real life would jeopardise company reputation and data.”

Who was involved? The biggest three sectors included financial institutions, IT and government agencies, making up over half of all participants.

“COVID-19 has accelerated various processes. Before the pandemic, we had been rather critical of digitalisation because of all the problems brought about by the new technologies. Now, everybody is beginning to understand that this process is inevitable, we need to move forward and cybersecurity plays a great role in tech innovation.” – Herman Gref, CEO, Sberbank

When you understand that COVID19 is built on fraud, then these steps were not inevitable so much as planned and  desired.

“5G will be the platform for the society, for hospitals, for public transport, for everything that is to be connected. You need to have absolute trust in the underlying infrastructure, hence there is a high demand for security… AI can be used for predictive analytics to improve performance, maintenance and security of the network.” – Sebastian Tolstoy, Head of Ericsson Eastern Europe & Central Asia

Predictive analytics means predictive cybercrime which means Minority Report style policing. Not just in the digital world of course.

War criminal Tony Blair said at the event, “The government is always the last to change, and the problem with cyber threats is that we cannot afford the government to take 10 years to catch up because at that time the damage will be too great’.

He also said, “Digital ID for me is a very big part of the future…Inevitably, governments are going to move in this direction — absolutely, inevitably.”

Check out what Thales’ Digital ID Wallet is like in this video. To see how this is intimately tied into the biosecurity state see especially the 35 second mark. Notice how casually “mandatory vaccination” is mentioned as if this is such a nice benefit.

This policy comes from policy makers such as the WEF, largely funded by corporate partners. Essentially, government just works to follow the policy. Essentially all of government is fast becoming a captured agency, most of it already being so.

“We have seen a steep increase of new narratives in online scams, phishing approaches and targeting of critical infrastructures: health service ransomware, attacks on hospitals, exploiting the need for personal protective material and medical research,” says Jürgen Stock, Secretary General, INTERPOL.

Notice the focus on how this too is tied into the biosecurity state. Things like data for vaccine passports must be closely guarded.

“In the era of digitisation, fake news has become a dangerous weapon being used by cybercriminals to attack people and organisations.”

Of course, fake news gets its spotlight here like it did in the virus pandemic exercises. The “misinformation” that will spin up regarding any such attacks will need to be stamped down in every way just like “conspiracy theories” regarding COVID.

Part of securing the digital world means securing the “truth”. The lines of fake news and cyberwarfare and going to continue to blur, more so over time.

Cyber Polygon 2021

Cyber Polygon 2021 focused on a supply chain cyber-attack. These specifically focused on ransomware attacks, as outlined as the most difficult attack to guard from in 2019.

The Cyber Polygon 2021 results PDF includes:

“These days, ecosystems are more widespread than ever. Companies are taking the expansion of their supply chains to a global scale, with 60% of them already working with more than 1,000 partners each. In this context, the resilience of supply chain networks is an issue of worldwide concern. The vulnerability of one organisation can undermine an entire supply system.”

“More and more services in modern life are going digital — from shopping and banking to education and public services. In this environment, the prosperity of tomorrow depends on the secure development of corporate ecosystems, the resilience of the financial industry in the era of e-money, and the protection of states against cyberthreats.”

“The task of central banks is to keep the monetary system stable. In pursuit of this, central banks must be at the heart of the changes in the financial sector, they must broaden the functionality of money and of the economy, which is becoming increasingly digitised.”

Central banks must be at the heart…they absolutely don’t want to lose the control they have towards a decentralized money supply. They dive even deeper into this topic.

“Digital currency is becoming a pervasive force that fundamentally changes everything in the global economy, from cross-border payments to interbank transfers. The rapid adoption and decentralised nature of digital currencies pose unprecedented challenges for financial and tax authorities, capital market regulators and the business community.” – Matthew Blake, Head of Financial and Monetary System Initiatives, World Economic Forum

“[The Digital ruble] will permit better traceability of payments and money flow, and also explore the possibility of setting conditions on permitted terms of use of a given unit of currency…Just imagine that you are able to give your kids some money in digital rubles and then restrict their use for purchase of junk food.” — Alexey Zabotkin, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia

(Or just imagine that the WEF decides you’ll eat less meat because cow farts cause climate change and they stop you from buying it. Of course, Bill Gates vegan meats will be approved for purchase. He didn’t buy up the most farmland in the USA for nothing!)

“Ransomware is still one of the most persistent threats both for the private and public sectors. Encrypting data and demanding ransom in cryptocurrency is an easy way for fraudsters to reach financial gains… One way to mitigate these risks is to implement multilateral data sharing. This requires cross-border industry partnerships with cybersecurity organisations. It is important for the private sector to work closely with governments to enhance their understanding of the threat landscape and assist law enforcement in fighting criminal activity”

CBDC’s good. Cryptocurrency bad. These themes are repeated many times. We want greater control. We don’t want anything that doesn’t allow that.

“Technological progress is also playing into the hands of cybercriminals. Ransomware and supply chain attacks undermine the operations of entire networks of enterprises and impact both the private and public sectors. In such conditions, collective decisions are needed to avoid the domino effect and to reduce the risks for the whole global community.”

“A growing number of cyberthreats requires a consolidated response of the public and private sectors.” The same theme hypnotically repeated over and over and over again.

“Zero Trust policy and verification of vendors can help to minimise risk of supply chain attacks…While the business losses from supply chain attacks are increasing, verification of vendors’ security compliance becomes crucial to ensure every company’s cyber resilience.”

In other words, the entire supply chain needs to be digitally verified so that it can be controlled. Making everything more digital is somehow the answer to the problems of it being digital!

“Yet, the digital space is sometimes dangerous for kids. Because of their gullibility, they easily fall into the trap of online threats: they are exposed to harassment, phishing, social engineering and cyberbullying… In order to protect children from harm on the Internet, the public and private sectors need to join in their efforts.”

We need to make the internet a safe space. So we’ll social engineer everyone to avoid social engineering we don’t want. We’ll harass and cyberbully anyone that stands in our way (like mocking antivaxxers deaths).

The first scenario, “According to the script, an unknown APT group was able to gain network access to a virtual infrastructure segment in Modern Bank’s infrastructure. This segment hosts the services responsible for the continuous web app integration and deployment processes.” The target of banks is a theme we’ll see more of.

The main thrusts include:

1. Supply chains will be disrupted
2. Financial services will be disrupted
3. Public private partnership is the only answer
4. The digital landscape must be made safe and we define what that means
5. Totally surveilled and controlled CBDC’s are the answer
6. Decentralized cryptocurrency is destabilizing and used by criminals and thus must be stopped

To show again how this all dovetails into the agenda of the biosecurity state, the end of Schwab’s speech includes:

“One of the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic is also the notion of resilience. We have to protect ourselves not only against the virus, we also have to develop the ability to withstand a virus attack. In other words, masks are not sufficient. We need vaccines to immunize ourselves. The same is true for cyberattacks. Here, too, we have to move from simple protection to immunization. We need to build IT infrastructures that have digital antibodies built-in inherently to protect themselves.”

The 2021 Ransomware Attacks

COVID was preceded not just by the war games listed above. You can look at the previous real health scares as live training exercises. The Disneyland measles outbreak. SARS 1. Ebola. The bird flu. The swine flu, etc.

Each of these on a much smaller scale led to vaccinations or funding for them and other drugs, windfalls for pharma companies, helped to influence the propaganda media, and helped to elevate the players involved.

Training exercise. Live exercise. Training exercise. Live exercise. Test and tweak along the way. Witness how well your propaganda works. Do the totalitarian tip-toe forward until there is too much resistance. Back off. Learn from it, make some changes, and start moving forward again.

So too have there been a string of growing cyber attacks. I’m not saying that every single one of these is planned. I can’t make that claim. But even if a legitimate attack from an outside entity and not a false flag, the powers that be will co-opt and use it for their agendas. Never let a crisis go to waste!

Cyber Polygon 2021 happened in July, shortly after the Colonial Pipeline attack, which used ransomware. This ransom involved cryptocurrency. Bloomberg reports, “The ransomware attack caused fuel shortages at gasoline stations in several states and even affected operations by some airlines and airports…In the attack last month, Colonial Pipeline ended up paying hackers — a Russia-linked cybercrime group known as DarkSide — $4.4 million in cryptocurrency in order to help restore its operations.”

Except, that’s not quite accurate. “The cyber attack that shutdown the Colonial pipeline causing a gas panic and stoking fears of gasoline shortages, didn’t actually shut down the pipeline. It impacted the billing system at the Colonial Pipeline Co., which shut it down because they were worried about how they’d collect payments.”

Right before that in May, JBS, a WEF member and the world’s largest meat producer, suffered a ransomware attack.

Also ironic that this hack was supposedly done by Russian hackers given “safe haven” by the Russian government…meanwhile the WEF co-hosts Cyber Polygon with Sberbank, majorly owned by the same Russian government. 

Russia is still the main boogeyman, and we’ll see them pop up again and again here.

There were many other such attacks across the world.

Cyber Polygon 2022

Another event is planned upcoming.

Dates are not announced yet, but it occurred in July last year and could possibly be the same this year.

WEF’s Global Risks Report 2022

The WEF recently released The Global Risks Report 2022 17th Edition Insight Report. This is a fascinating deep dive into their policy.

“Growing dependency on digital systems over the last 20 years has drastically shifted how many societies function. Users will be required to navigate security vulnerabilities inherent in both increased dependency on and growing fragmentation in these types of complex technologies often characterized by decentralization and lack of structured guardrails or sophisticated onboarding infrastructure.”

Decentralization is seen as a flaw not a feature. This is their overall frame. (And that’s not to say that decentralization doesn’t have flaws. It is hard to coordinate.)

“Malware increased by 358% in 2020, while ransomware increased by 435%, with a four-fold rise in the total cryptocurrency value received by ransomware addresses (see Figure 3.1). “Ransomware as a service” allows even non-technical criminals to execute attacks, a trend that might intensify with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered malware. In fact, profit-seeking groups of cyber mercenaries stand ready to provide access to sophisticated cyber-intrusion tools to facilitate such attacks. Furthermore, cryptocurrencies have also allowed cybercriminals to collect payments with an only modest risk of detection or monetary clawback.”

Never mind that “According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the global cost of ransomware in 2020 is estimated at $20 billion,” which means cryptocurrency only made up 2% of the value of such attacks. We know who the bad guy is to them.

“85% of the Cybersecurity Leadership Community of the World Economic Forum have stressed that ransomware is becoming a dangerously growing threat and presents a major concern for public safety.”

Near unanimous consensus so it must be true!

“The growth of deepfakes and “disinformation-for-hire” is likely to deepen mistrust between societies, business and government. For example, deepfakes could be used to sway elections or political outcomes. More concretely, in one recent case, cybercriminals cloned the voice of a company director to authorize the transfer of US$35 million to fraudulent accounts. There is also a booming market for services designed to manipulate public opinion in favour of clients, public or private, or to damage rivals.”

Note that deep fakes could be used in fantastic false flags operations. What better way to control the entire population then to make them not believe their own eyes and ears increasingly.

“If cyberthreats continue without mitigation, governments will continue to retaliate against perpetrators (actual or perceived), leading to open cyberwarfare, further disruption for societies and loss of trust in governments’ ability to act as digital stewards.”

Open cyberwarfare, that sounds interesting. What exactly would that look like?

Please note that (actual or perceived) in the USA the cyber bad guys are always from Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran.

It is odd how Russia is such a huge part of the Cyber Polygon events and yet also the main bad guy in cyber warfare at the same time. Or it would be odd to the official narrative. But it makes more sense with a behind-the-scenes conspiratorial look.

NotPetya was a 2017 malware attack in Ukraine that caused $10 billion in damages.

Note how this blurs the line of pandemic/cyberpandemic viruses more so in resonance with the ideas of biodigital convergence.

Carnegie’s Cyber Policy Initiative

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace launched the Cyber Policy Initiative.

“Imagine the consequences of a cyber attack that wipe or alters financial records, especially as the economy remains fragile in the wake of the pandemic.” (emphasis added)

Carnegie’s Cyber Policy Initiative, partnered with WEF, released November 2020 an ‘International Strategy for Cybersecurity and the Global Financial System (2021-2024)’. Known as the FinCyber Strategy Project. This includes the following quotes:

“Increasingly concerned, key voices are sounding the alarm. In February 2020, Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) and former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), warned that a cyber attack could trigger a serious financial crisis.”

(She was charged with fraud and just convicted of criminal negligence, just the kind of banker you want, right?)

• The head of Japan’s central bank predicted that cybersecurity could become the financial system’s most serious risk in the near future.
• Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said in April 2019 that cyber attacks “may very well be the biggest threat to the U.S. financial system.”
• In April 2020, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) cautioned that “cyber incidents pose a threat to the stability of the global financial system.”

The report states “This requires countries not only to better organize themselves domestically but also to strengthen international cooperation to defend against, investigate, prosecute and ideally prevent future attacks. This implies that the financial sector and financial authorities must regularly interact with law enforcement and other national security agencies in unprecedented ways, both domestically and internationally.”

Essentially, the banks need to be more closely tied to the government regulators and intelligence agencies. Consolidation to an overwhelming centralized power. Do you hear the themes repeating enough yet?

Collective Strength

This event, named “Collective Strength”, took place in Israel and simulated a cyberattack on the global financial system. This involved the BIS, IMF and World Bank, occurring late November or early December. Ten countries took part including Austria, Germany, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Thailand, UAE, UK and the USA.

The war game, reported Reuters, “evolved over 10 days, with sensitive data emerging on the Dark Web. The simulation also used fake news reports that in the scenario caused chaos in global markets and a run on banks.”

Key note…CHAOS IN GLOBAL MARKETS and a RUN ON BANKS.

“The banks are appealing for emergency liquidity assistance in a multitude of currencies to put a halt to the chaos as counterparties withdraw their funds and limit access to liquidity, leaving the banks in disarray and ruin,” the narrator said.

The response? A “coordinated bank holiday, debt repayment grace periods, SWAP/REPO agreements and coordinated delinking from major currencies.” Possibly this could be read as

1. Average people can’t get their money
2. The big players get debts forgiven (while average people may get thrown a bone, just like the pandemic stimulus checks)
3. Further bank consolidation
4. The shift away from USD as the major reserve currency

Catherine Austin Fitts mentions regarding this event, “In addition, we know that regulators in both the United States and European Union have been working steadily since the 2008-2012 financial crisis to develop a regulatory structure that can easily engineer bail-ins permitting the funding of liquidity problems and fraudulent collateral shortfalls with depositors’ assets and retirement savings. Given recent moves to assert greater oversight over the cryptocurrency markets, this could also include controls on or access to the taking of traditionally unregulated digital assets.” (emphasis added)

In other words, be cautious about trusting the banks, or government run pensions and the like. And most certainly, look for more money printing to be the solution…quite possible of the CBDC type.

Cyber Storm I-VIII

“Cyber Storm, [the USA’s] Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) biennial exercise series, provides the framework for the most extensive government-sponsored cybersecurity exercise of its kind.”

This is a long running series starting with Cyber Storm 1 occurring in February 2006. Just a few quick quotes from over the years:

Cyber Storm III: September 2010 – “Cyber Storm III served as the primary vehicle to exercise the newly-developed National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP), a blueprint for cybersecurity incident response, to examine the roles, responsibilities, authorities, and other key elements of the nation’s cyber incident response and management capabilities and use those findings to refine the plan.” This involved “Increased Federal, State, International and Private Sector Participation” going “Administration-Wide”.

Cyber Storm V: March 2016 – “For the first time in the Cyber Storm exercise series, the exercise featured dedicated participation from the Healthcare and Public Health sector”

Cyber Storm VI: April 2018 – “Integrated a simulated and dynamically-updated media and social media platform to replicate the customer and public components of an incident”

I’ll spend a bit more time on the final most recent even, Cyber Storm 2020 taking place in August 2020.

The results PDF states, “CS 2020’s core scenario focused on three back-bone services of the Internet – DNS, CA, and BGP. These services are critical to Internet architecture, allowing users to access web pages and ensuring that only the correct users are permitted access.” That’s Domain Name System (DNS), Certificate Authorities (CA), and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

The stated objectives include “Strengthen and enhance information sharing and coordination mechanisms used across the cyber ecosystem during a cyber incident” and “Reinforce public and private partnerships and improve their ability to share relevant and timely information.” These should be sounding quite familiar at this point. The goal is top-down coordination and they even talk about a “Cyber Unified Coordination Group (UCG)”.

“Supported classified planning and execution efforts in tandem with the classified exercise ICE STORM 2020, facilitating interaction at an unclassified level between the intelligence community and stakeholders impacted by simulated cyber incidents.”

I could find no information behind that classified exercise, but that certainly piqued my curiosity.

Make no mistake any cyber pandemic will be an intelligence-led operation, just like the pandemic was an intelligence-led operation from the start.

The industry partners includes every major financial institution in the US. Here is half of the list.

This event involved the Federal Reserve, FDIC, CFTC, SEC, Treasury and more. It involved pharma players such as Eli Lilly, Merck and Sanofi. Both the DOD, DOJ, and NSA were involved.

And there’s another event coming up.

“Cyber Storm VIII is scheduled for Spring 2022. As the eighth iteration of the Cyber Storm exercise series, Cyber Storm VIII will examine discovery of and response to a large-scale, coordinated significant cyber incident impacting multiple critical infrastructure sectors. Cyber Storm VIII will further strengthen public and private partnerships and assess areas of improvement for national cyber security plans and policies.”

In addition CISA just put out a press release this Tuesday (1/11) titled, Understanding and Mitigating Russian State-Sponsored Cyber Threats to U.S. Critical Infrastructure.

EU Cyberattack Exercise This Month

Bloomberg reported on January 11th, “European Union governments will launch later this week a large-scale simulation of cyberattacks against multiple member states.”

“Participants will be confronted with attacks on their supply chains and some spillover socio-economic effects in other member states, before having to coordinate public communications and a diplomatic response, according to people familiar with the matter and documents seen by Bloomberg.”

“Though the EU has various tools at its disposal to counter and sanction acts of cyber aggression, it doesn’t currently have a framework for effectively coordinating a joint response to a major crisis, the document says.”

“The exercise will be structured around a gradual escalation toward a major crisis that culminates in an attack that could qualify as an armed aggression under the United Nations Charter, according to one of the documents.” (emphasis added)

As if on cue…

Ukraine Attacked Days Ago

Just a couple of days ago, as I was writing this article, a huge cyber attack knocking offline government websites occurred in the Ukraine, which is not part of the EU but is in Europe.

Sky News reports, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “It’s too early to draw conclusions, but there is a long record of Russian assaults against Ukraine.”

The EU’s foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell condemned the attack, saying he “has no evidence who was responsible”, but “we can imagine who is behind it”.

(Really reminds me of our government and intelligence agencies claiming someone, often Russia, is behind something with zero evidence.)

Messages put on the website in three languages read: “Ukrainian! All your personal data was uploaded to the public network. All data on the computer is destroyed, it is impossible to restore it. All information about you has become public, be afraid and expect the worst. This is for your past, present and future.”

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stated, “Our intelligence community has developed information, which has now been downgraded, that Russia is laying the groundwork to have the option of fabricating a pretext for an invasion — including through sabotage activities and information operations — by accusing Ukraine of preparing an imminent attack against Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.”

Are we seeing an escalation that leads to armed agression?

Ending Anonymity

Whitney Webb dives deep into the threats against privacy this all entails.

“The organization, called the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), made the claim in its 2021 “Navigating Cyber” report…That forecast, which casts a devastating cyber attack on the financial system through third parties as practically inevitable, also makes the case for a “global fincyber [financial-cyber] utility” as the main solution to the catastrophic scenarios it predicts.”

“A major theme in these efforts has not only been an emphasis on global cooperation, but also a merging of private banks and/or corporations with the State, specifically intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In addition, many of the banks, institutions and individuals involved in the creation of these reports and simulations are either actively involved in WEF-related efforts to usher in a new global economic model of “stakeholder capitalism” or are seeking to imminently introduce, or are actively developing, central bank-backed digital currencies, or CBDCs.”

“Of particular interest is the call by both FS-ISAC and the WEF Partnership against Cybercrime to specifically target cryptocurrencies, particularly those that favor transactional anonymity, as well as the infrastructure on which those cryptocurrencies run. Though framed as a way to combat “cybercrime”, it is obvious that cryptocurrencies are to be unwanted competitors for the soon-to-be-launched central bank digital currencies.”

“The report contains several “predictions for 2021 and beyond.” The first of these predictions is that adversarial nation-states will team up with “the cybercriminal underworld” in order to “obfuscate their activity and complication attribution.””

“FS-ISAC also predicts that attacks will cross borders, continents, and verticals, with increasing speed. More specifically, it states that the cyber pandemic will begin with cyber criminals that “test attacks in one country and quickly scale up to multiple targets in other parts of the world.””

Teresa Walsh, Global Head of Intelligence at the FS-ISAC spoke at Cyber Polygon 2021 said, “You can just go into the underground marketplace and purchase a kit, purchase a phishing kit to help you distribute it, and then just reap the benefits of the Bitcoins coming in as long as you give a little bit to the side to the operators behind the desk”.

A large part of this narrative is to derail crypto which the central bankers do not control. These narratives are widely repeated. And you must understand that their attacks could ultimately be successful, so if you’re invested in crypto take heed and be cautious.

In Summation

So what does the cyber pandemic look like?

I wish I had a reliable crystal ball here. First of all, it is not one single thing. Reading this there are clearly multiple cyber events, which is already happening.

What you can be sure of is that things along these lines absolutely will be occurring in both increasing frequency and seismic impact.

If you had an article like this before the pandemic going through all the war games would you know exactly what to expect? Some events like Event 201 and SPARS were almost identical to what happened in reality (with the exception of the death counts).

Some of the above undoubtedly are too…but which ones?

My bet is on something like Collective Strength as the big event. This could be the thing that fully breaks the worldwide economy and allows them to step in with CBDC’s.

The rippling economic shocks allow to further push forward other agenda items.

However, the focus on supply chains and infrastructure are big too. Based on what we’ve seen so far there be many more attacks on such, that continue to escalate in size.

A big one that focuses on Bitcoin as the ransom will be used by governments/bankers the world over to rally against it’s existence. They may not be able to stop it…but they can aim to fully surveil it through the choke-points of on and off ramps.

From the unnamed EU exercise, the cyber attacks escalate to “a major crisis that culminates in an attack that could qualify as an armed aggression under the United Nations Charter.”

Does this lead to “open cyberwarfare” which could then be a precursor to physical war? Is this already starting between Ukraine and Russia?

Then there is an attack that could bring down the entire internet, even if just temporarily. This could be tied into many of the above scenarios, but most likely would be with the big financial one.

Regardless of what the events looks like they will be used:

• To increase censorship
• To rollout digital ID’s
• To rollout CBDC’s
• To increase surveillance
• To crush cryptocurrencies
• To consolidate power and wealth to the powerful and wealthy
• To usher in pre-crime

When?

It is my sense that this plan, whatever form it ultimately comes in, will actually be done in response to pushback. As the mainstream narrative collapses, as the people stand together, this is the follow up phase in their Great Reset of humanity.

My feeling is less than 10% of people are onboard the infinite booster plan. So as I’ve said before bigger shocks are needed to get us to their agenda items.

Based on the gaping wide holes in the narrative, on the average person being fed up with this stuff, I feel another big event very well could be happening sometime in 2022.

Here’s the good news. There is a Cyber Polygon 2022 and Cyber Storm VIII scheduled for “this year” and “Spring” respectively. It likely won’t take place until after these if they need more planning and coordinating.

…On the other hand, the fact that there are no dates, especially when Spring is coming up fast, is disconcerting!

Neither can we deny that training exercises “coincidentally” take place at the same time as real attacks.

It doesn’t look like they’re ready to rollout CBDC’s. So my guess is they are not yet ready for the big one that collapses the global financial system. But then again them not being ready is based on public information of CBDC rollout plans.

But, at the very least, 2022 will definitely see an escalation of

1. Supply chain/infrastructure attacks
2. Bordering on nation-state war cyber attacks

Discouraged? Find Your Courage…

I know being realistic about such stuff can feel like soul-crushing pessimism. You might be thinking “What’s the point?” for anything that you do. So let me offer some advice around that.

Getting yourself mentally, emotionally and spiritually ready for what is coming is the most important part. The Worry Formula is:

• STEP 1: Ask, “What’s the worst that can possibly happen?” (Basically imagine these exercises as really happening)
• STEP 2: Prepare to accept the worst-case scenario if you have to (You’re not going to change it, so best to accept it)
• STEP 3: Calmly proceed to improve on the worst-case scenario (what CAN you do? I recommend meditating and/or journaling on this question)

Just as the pandemic was an initiation for many of us to courageously step up in the world, so too would this be a calling to up your game. The world needs real, strong, good men and women more than ever right now.

Understand that one of the aims of propaganda is demoralization. They want you to be morally defeated.

Don’t play into their hands so easily.

As you prepare, and I’ll give you some specifics to start with below, think about some of the following:

• What is worth doing even if the world falls apart around you?
• What builds your adaptability/antifragility both for right now and for such future events?
• What can you do that helps you now AND sets you in a better position for tomorrow?
• Can you build towards a future that is worth having regardless of the disruption or not?

How to Personally Be Prepared

Civilization collapse stack. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Don’t forget that community is actually the most important part.

Of note, precious metals have been manipulated with downward pressure for years. At some point this will release, after all the same bankers making such plans aren’t hoarding them just for kicks.

It appears to me that release will be when the global financial system gets attacked, not before then.

Crypto is sexy and can be insanely profitable if you do it well. Crypto can help you build out the rest of the stack.

However, it is clear that it is very much a direct target of such cyber warfare. At the very least, it would likely crash with the economic chaos involved. Hedge properly. Here’s my courses/coaching available:

• Free Crypto Course
• Paid Crypto Course
• Monthly Crypto Training and Top Pick
• VIP One-on-One Coaching

I don’t think they can stop Bitcoin. But they can co-opt crypto, steer the narrative, and seek to control everything around it.

If you own a business, make backups, even hard, physical copies. Look at your own security systems.

Seek out redundancy, no single points of failure. Make a plan and start acting on it.

Start building out your Plan B and Plan C.

As I relied heavily on on these two for this article I’ll give them the additional plug here. They are worth following for updated posts on these topics. There’s Tim Hinchliffe, the editor of The Sociable and Whitney Webb at Unlimited Hangout.

Thank you for reading this long article. I hope you’ve found it useful. If you are aware of anything I missed, or would like to add your two cents please do so in the comments below.

This is a continuation of the ongoing series about Systemic Collapse vs. Controlled Demolition. While touched on a bit before, this specifically looks at the topic of the economy. This article essentially follows the money, probably the #1 principle of investigating anything. (My #2 rule being follow the transparency or lack thereof.)

This money is vastly more influential in what is really going on than the perceived problem of healthcare.

Some of this will undoubtedly be review from previous articles. My articles are in one sense, building a case for conspiracy at the highest levels. So they must build and rebuild on top of each other. I can’t help to reiterate many foundational points. Plus, many new readers haven’t read everything, so that makes it useful too.

Fiat and the Grift Machine

Fiat means “an arbitrary decree or pronouncement, especially by a person or group of persons having absolute authority to enforce it.”

Fiat money essentially is fake…but backed by power. Ultimately, at the end of the day, that means force.

If you look at any and all historical examples, fiat money is unsustainable. It always collapses. This is fiat money’s fate.

This is largely due to it being part of what I’m going to call the “Grift Machine.” When you understand that monetary policy is influenced by backroom deals, consultancy fees, revolving door positions, government contracts, various legal bribes and so much more, you can see that our world operates on professional grifting.

Politicians are by-and-large professional kleptocrats, making us live in a kleptocracy, which is another word to describe our worldwide governance.

To best understand this we need to look at…

The Cantillon Effect

Richard Cantillon was an 18^th century economist. He is most well known for what has come to be called the Cantillon Effect. This describes the uneven expansion of money supply. In other words, those closest to the money printers benefit from printing money. Those furthest away from the money printers lose out.

If you’re in the kleptocrat inner circle you get access to that new money first. It’s still worth what all the existing money is worth at first. But as it gets spent, inflation occurs though not all at once. The kleptocrat outer circle benefits next. Then their cronies and partners. And so on, until you get to the majority of the population that receives no benefit, in fact, just less value for their dollar.

The central bankers and their close partners (for instance the government contracts to vaccine companies so that the shots are “free” to people) come out ahead with the debasing of currency.

This is a large reason why the wealth gap has been increasing for decades.

I couldn’t find an updated chart, nor one that goes back further in time, but you get the idea. Nor is this uniquely a USA thing.

The pandemic money printing has further accelerated this greatly across the world.

The Fed partnering with BlackRock, to rollout their Going Direct plan, meant that, among other things, BlackRock was paid to purchase BlackRock’s ETF’s (exchange traded funds).

A lucrative deal and beneficial to anyone holding stocks! Professional grift yet legal in that they passed new legislation to do it. (Well sort of legal, there are still many laws that get broken in such acts, you know like those old rules in the Constitution.)

Let me be clear. I’m not against people making money or capitalism. That should be obvious. But I am against people using their money for illegal and immoral aims. I am against grift, especially of the professional kind.

Capitalism is a flawed system in that historically it always descends into crony capitalism. It always has become kleptocracy.

Those with money and power can use that money and power to secure more money and power by moving closer to the money printers…and even eventually controlling or becoming them. It’s an old game of civilization that has played out many times before.

The Cantillon effect explains why we see the billionaires wealth swell, whether or not they’re “in” on the swindle.

Meanwhile, we see poor people laid off, fired, their businesses closed and so much more.

Empires Rise and Fall

Fiat being unsustainable is largely why we see world reserve currencies shift. There’s some major systemic effects at play in here.

Ray Dalio recently released Changing World Orders which I’m reading and covers this well, from which the next two charts come.

If you want to understand the systemic effects behind such cycles this book is a good place to start.

Here you see those countries with global reserve currencies and how long they held the reigns.

The USD’s time is coming to an end, and with it at least some of its worldly power.

The thing that is different this time around, is that it looks like the powers-that-be have finally learned this historical lesson!

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that they’re going to fix it. Far from it.

But, unlike many people, I don’t think that our world leaders are stupid. Stupidity is a good cover for malice. Brushing things off as a stupid mistake when it was intentional is a good way to get away with it.

Instead, they’re intentionally allowing it to happen, neigh, actually helping make it happen. While there were signs of systemic collapse growing, this is largely a controlled demolition to move into a new system by design.

Nor do I think this is without historical precedent. We certainly saw conspiracies, such as Cecil Rhodes’ Round Table group involving the prior shift to power, as covered by the voluminous Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy & Hope.

Such actions explain how this was a great consolidation of power…just like is being attempted now.

The current Grift Machine, in various ways, was breaking at the seams such as the repo market problems occurring middle to late 2019. The pandemic miraculously came in and saved it. Fancy that!

However, it has been a fairly desperate attempt. The operation was not without flaws…and likely in part to because they were up against a ticking time clock.

A 10 to 15 Year Process?

Now, the shift of a world reserve currency isn’t going to happen overnight. Typically, it has taken take about 15 years.

My idea, before even reading Dalio’s stuff, was that this all would play out throughout the 2020’s. (Things do move faster today, so this shift could be faster too.)

If we think of 2020, with the pandemic, as the start of the process, we’ve still got a lot to go through, including many other such events in the process. Although once again there were cracks in the petrodollar before that so some might call the start earlier.

Historically, such currency shifts are categorized by wars, pandemics, natural disasters, movements of people and more.

Do not underestimate the ability to kick the can down the road. I predicted depression when the pandemic hit. In one sense, I was right. In another sense, I was wrong, because I didn’t understand the epic money printing, they’d engage in to keep things afloat (and continue the grift).

In other words, I underestimated them.

This being a worldwide campaign, with every country relying on central bankers, everyone is printing too. So, the US dollar is showing strength…in relation to others.

China is growing fast and leading the charge in CBDC’s. So maybe the Digital Yuan is the chosen one already. That is certainly a strong possibility that that could become the worldwide reserve.

It also could be something different that hasn’t quite been released yet. BIS released a report stating, “central banks collectively representing a fifth of the world’s population are likely to issue a general purpose CBDC in the next three years.” This was from January 2021.

As we’ve seen they’re going to continue to debase the current currencies, and this is going to accelerate. New trillion dollar acts every year.

The first $10 trillion+ (14 figures!) bill in the USA is likely to be in maybe 2023 because this will pick up speed.

Sadly, hyperinflation does seem to be our fate.

This needs to be acknowledged whether you believe in conspiracies or not.

I don’t think Dalio puts any stock in them, yet he arrives at a similar conclusion. I like to learn from everyone. However, be wary of listening to people that talk about economics without talking about conspiracy. That’s a huge lever that plays into the systemic effects, and certainly isn’t unique to this empire either.

This Operations is Nothing New…Except its Scale and Scope

Looking at not just systems, but also conspiracies, it’s my sense that they’re trying to steer this process in a certain direction. Again, to use a metaphor I used previously, this is threading the eye of the needle. It’s a delicate process that they may well fail at.

The Shock Doctrine is a playbook that has been run many times over. Here the scale and scope are increased.

The Industry Playbook has been used by industry after industry. Here the scale and scope are increased.

Psychological Operations (psyops) are a playbook that have been run many times over. Here the scale and scope are increased.

The coming economic shocks will lead to austerity measures as well.

And since they control the markets to larger or smaller degrees, and they control the propaganda machine, and the scientists, economists, politicians, etc., understand that they can implement economic shocks basically whenever and wherever they way.

China’s Great Leap Forward unfortunately seems to be a blueprint for what they have planned. As such, if things go according to their plans, the scale of death is also increased from that event.

The evidence points the powers that be having a eugenicist ideology. Therefore, their plans include depopulation. I don’t want this to be true. It’s just where the evidence leads.

(Do you want me to do an article on this topic? It’s pretty easy to see based on the quotes of the “elites” themselves. Let me know in the comments.)

The Grifter’s Jubilee vs. The People’s Jubilee

Here’s the amazing thing for the Grifter’s. By destroying the US Dollar intentionally, they get to remove much if not all the liabilities it holds. The underfunded pensions, the social security collapse on the horizon, the USA’s global debt that recently crossed the $29 trillion mark (only $20 trillion back in 2016).

Not to mention whatever happened to the trillions that are missing from the books of the Department of Defense and so many other government agencies.

Meanwhile, they get to print new money allowing them to benefit from such, gobbling up assets. Securities, precious metals, real estate and more.

When it all collapses, they’ll be a good position to shift their assets to the new world reserve currency, whatever that happens to be. After all, the top of the pyramid whomever they are, are designing what and how it will work.

It’s not just the core conspirators but anyone sucking at the teat of power whether they’re insider’s or not will likely benefit from such a transition. The Cantillon effect once again.

In essence, they not only get away with their crimes, but gain even more so from engaging in them. As Catherine Austin Fitts has said, “Crime that pays, stays.”

Crime has paid for far too long.

Contrast this to what I believe are disinformation campaigns spreading around such as that of GESARA/NESARA. That there’s a quantum financial system in the works, that aliens may or may not be involved in, that will free humanity. That there will be a jubilee on all debt for the people.

Sadly, I think the greater chance is for the grifters to get away with their grift. A jubilee for their debts, that they’ve hollowed out such as pensions.

In other words, The Great Reset is not just controlled demo, but a controlled rebuild.

By destroying the world’s reserve currency, in a controlled demolition way, they can sucker the people into a new CBDC system that not only enslaves us, but let’s them better get away with their crimes. You’ll only get to take part if you are an obedient citizen.

US Dollars will Hyperinflate

It is important to understand inflation and hyperinflation. Get out of the “it couldn’t happen here” unthinkability bias.

If hyperinflation happens in the USA all that debt becomes easy to pay. For social security they can 1) print more money and 2) get rid of the obligation to pay any “domestic terrorist” citizens.

Understand what such actions look like on the ground from those living in the countries where it has happened before.

“The firsthand account illustrated how a sudden 3-week bank holiday left people unable to exchange, withdraw or use their funds. They could only helplessly watch as much of their wealth in frozen bank accounts became worthless. The video is also powerful advocacy for holding wealth outside your home country, your primary currency, and the financial system as systemic crisis insurance. Over the past 13 years (since the 2008 financial crisis), I have looked at the world through the lens of systemic wealth protection, and if you have not done so as well, I believe it is time that you do.” This comes from the OwnX newsletter, one of the companies I use to buy precious metals and have for many years.

And the video itself comes from Silver Bullion Singapore, a different country I will be added to my precious metals positions in the future. They have a specific policy of not complying if, say, the USA confiscates gold again.

Precious metals are considered by many as true wealth, as historically they’ve always been so.

Two things to note that tell you pretty much everything you need to know about these assets economically:

• The Bank of International Settlements recently reclassified Gold as a tier 1 zero-risk asset for banks. The banks have been adding gold to their balance sheets.
• JP Morgan Chase has the largest amount of silver ever accumulated. They’ve had this for several years…while they manipulate the silver ETF price.

The precious metals investors have had to be patient with this as these markets are more manipulated than most. (See the divorce of the paper silver price to the bullion price.)

I’ve been waiting for years as I amassed a decent portfolio, mostly of silver. But the bankers are quite patient. I will be too.

That’s one play.

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Square and very recently former CEO of Twitter, said:

Hyperinflation is going to change everything. It’s happening.

— jack⚡️ (@jack) October 23, 2021

Later he more clearly specified that “[hyperinflation] will happen in the U.S. soon, and so the world.”

As a tech oligarch whose platform is clearly being used to run this psyop, I don’t trust Jack. But he’s not wrong about this.

For whatever reason, the elites do telegraph their moves. Whether this is part of the Luciferian religion as some claim (especially regarding the occult rituals that make up big public events such as the Superbowl halftime shows), or something else I can’t say for sure.

Regardless of why, for those who have ears, we can listen.

Maybe he’s not an insider, just co-opted and a “useful idiot” to the powers that be. But again, he’s not wrong about this.

Jack is big into Bitcoin. In fact, he’s said “If I weren’t at Square or Twitter, I’d be working on bitcoin.”

Well, Square just changed its name to Block which as Coindesk puts it, Dorsey is “going to turn Square into an entire cryptocurrency and blockchain company,” now that he left Twitter in the hand’s of a person that doesn’t think the company is bound to the first amendment. In other words the censorship is about to get worse.

Is Crypto Part of This Nefarious Plan?

There are people such as Fitts that believe that any and all use of cryptocurrency is building out the jail of our future.

I greatly admire Fitts and the intel she provides. However, I do disagree with her on this.

Other freedom fighters such as Derrick Broze, discuss the nuanced understanding of this technology. They fully acknowledge how it could enslave us, but also point out how the technology could be used for good.

His analogies of the internet being a DARPA project from the beginning is a useful way of looking at it. Amazing technology that we all use and has brought many benefits to us…and it is a crucial tool of further enslavement.

It’s clear that most “elites” are anti-crypto. Hilary Clinton recently said Bitcoin was “undermining the role of the dollar” and “destabilizing nations.” The bankers actions themselves can’t be blamed for these things of course.

In one of the funniest quotes on the topic, just look at what Bill Gates has said. When asked in an interview what technology the world could do without he replied:

“The way cryptocurrency works today allows for certain criminal activities. It’d be good to get rid of that.” He then added, “I probably should have said bioweapons. That’s a really bad thing.”

To me, that’s a very telling answer for both things said.

The pandemic caused me to double down on cryptocurrencies. This was a profitable choice. The pandemic led me to diving deeper down the rabbit holes, as well as more different holes. (Have I mentioned yet how dizzying of a journey this work is?)

The greater understanding of how the world truly works, led me to triple down on cryptocurrencies at the start of this year. This also was a profitable choice.

What I see going on is basically a crypto arms race. In the next article, I’ll dive deeper into what that means, some of the narratives and conspiracies involved in crypto, and the possibilities of what I see playing out.

Now it’s time for some ads…
