I think there is a hell of a lot going on at once, all around the world.
The dollar has reached the end of its reign as the reserve currency. The US/G7 don't like it when people say no more to being held to the dollar for all transactions, Iraq, Libya, Russia have all said they can't continue to use the dollar going forward and it always ends the same way.
Buying oil or gas and paying on a 10, 20 or 30 year future is fair enough, but when the US gets the printing machine out constantly, the $1trn of energy sold for today is only worth half that by the time they are paid as they have devalued the money. It is theft and it is control. Plain and simple. So I can see why they all want to get away from the dollar.
The US has had a good run, pretty much when we would expect it to be handed over, but boy do they want to hold onto it.
So dollar is being artificially made to look strong, but at the expense of crippling the rest of the world. The USA doing what it does, and we, the UK and the other G7 nations back them in yet another invasion. A lot of my US friends are now starting to question what has happened over the last few years.
7 countries and 5 years. Search for that on YouTube to get an idea. Being the reserve currency, if the US wants high inflation, it means inflation for everyone around the world, that is a lot of control.
We have pension funds in an absolute mess, US funds alone are currently $20 trillion short, the Ponzi scheme has reached breaking point. The UKs own public pension pot is shagged as well as so many private schemes, probably get a good idea how bad by tomorrow, or Monday. Same with Germany and most EU countries.
We have youngsters paying into pensions that we know full well will never materialise just to keep paying the pensions today, pensions that have no money left in them. That is theft.
The problem is, the whole of the western, and some other parts, of the world have racked the credit cards up and they have just found out they can't get another one from anyone else to pay the existing card bills off with.
We need, I say we, I mean "they need" to collapse the economy now, they need hyper inflation, they need to have something to blame the debt on. Covid, Monkeypox, Climate Crisis, energy crisis, food shortages, supply chain issues, another war are all great ways to explain why all the money has gone, we are all going to have to suffer going forward for the greater good. We will all be poorer, but what choice did we have? Again that all word! Anytime you hear "we will all" just change it in your head to "you will all" and it starts to make more sense.
I think Nord Stream will come back and bite the US big time. You can't talk about ending Nord Stream no matter what, in public, time and time again, and then not expect people to start to asking questions about what this is all really about. It has woken a lot of people up.
The Ukraine was one of the biggest issues for the US, it was going to link Russia to the EU in ways we had never seen before, this would have been an absolute disaster for the US, it was allowing Russia to supply gas to the EU bypassing Ukraine, and therefore bypassing the dollar.
Many have been waiting for this war to kick off for the last 8 years or so, the only surprise was that it happened as Putin had been quite clear that they voted to leave and so there was nothing he could do. What has happened in those regions of Ukraine over the last 8 years are horrific, people really need to look into this. They have been crying for help for 8 years now from Putin. Ukraine/NATO, moved troops to the Russian border first, backed by US, and to some extent UK, money and weapons. Putin even joked that “the western media will fall silent at this act of provocation, but when I match them on my side, to protect my country tomorrow, they will shout out to the world how Russia is being aggressive.” He was right. This video is well worth revisiting, from 2014.
Luckily we do have a lot of people kicking back against everything at the moment, but I think our biggest hurdle is the general public. The problem is, unlike those in charge, the billionaires, the megalomaniacs of this world, 99% of the world are good people, they want to believe that what THEIR media is telling them is true, that we do these horrific things because we are the good guys, that all the lockdowns, the new laws clamping down on free speech, throwing billions and billions at this weeks disaster, allowing millions to die because they can't afford energy or food, is because we must sacrifice ourselves for the greater good.
The issue is we have seen this happen time and time before throughout history, and every single time it ends up with what we look back on as the most horrific events the world has ever seen. But we must not forget that the public cheered on these horrific events and it was only when they ended did they look back in horror.
We now have the world ruled by ESG ratings, complete corruption, and as companies, countries are starting to turn their back on ESG ratings they are stating to push Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are even more laughable.
This is a great chat about SDGs with Marty Bent and Whitney Webb. They absolutely nail what is happening right now and what has been happening over the last few years.
Please don't get me wrong, I am no fan of Putin, but I will not cheer on Zelensky calling for pre-emptive nuclear strikes on Russia, he is a liability that could see us all in WW3, and a nuclear war at that, and no one in Europe or the States will be safe, he needs to be reigned in. He has a big hold over the US and is throwing his weight around a bit too much. He is starting to loose quite a lot of support in many circles.
Well worth watching Putin' press conferences, what we are hearing is far, far from what is actually being said and happening.
So for me, I think the inevitable is a crash of the monetary system, hyper inflation, universal basic income, social credit scores, digital central bank currencies, carbon credit system (which will be the big wake up call for many) and a world where the rich poor divide is like we have not seen for a very long time.
Many people say, if they want to reduce the population it makes no sense, the more people the more money surely? The carbon credits they want to bring in gets round that. People think the new world is a world where you can do anything if it is not green. Well no, you can do whatever the hell you want, as long as you can afford it. This is where the carbon credits come in, everyone will have a certain amount of credits each year, you can use them to travel, by fuel, heat your home, or whatever you want to use them for, as long as you are rich enough of course. You can buy more, and you can sell them back into the system, this will of course see a very different lifestyle for the super rich vs ... wel ... everyone else. The wealth divide, the two tier society will once again get wider and wider. This explains it well ...
Let's not even get into the take over of the farming industry, this has been in the planning for years and trialled with Sri Lanka, then Netherlands and then ... etc. They are putting farmers out of business and then buying up their land.
When they have your food and your energy they have everything.
I think people need to start questioning everything. Some who have been calling this out as conspiracy theories are now shouting the loudest for people to start waking up. We are passed the point where we can blame everything happening on deluded ideas or incompetence, it is extremely well crafted and has been in the planning for many, many years.
