“COVID is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize, total biometric surveillance.”
— Yuval Noah Harari, World Economic Forum
Introduction
Using the fake “COVID virus” narrative as cover, the privileged, power-mad parasites who pilfer the world’s wealth have sharply accelerated their longstanding plan to create a single global empire that is completely under their command.
This single global empire will ultimately employ the services of all the transnational institutions on the planet in order to regulate and control every aspect of human life.
It is a global empire run by an exclusive club, perhaps 8,000 to 10,000 strong, whose members do not pledge allegiance to any national flag, who snobbishly view themselves as superior to their countrymen, and who are indifferent to political ideology so long as they can control the political structure from within. They aim to erase all national borders and are well on their way to shredding the constitutions of every nation-state.
It is a global empire that, unlike days of yore, needs no standing army to wage war on a battlefield against an opposing empire. For, in this era of the single global empire, the enemy being subdued is each and every one of us.
That mission is being accomplished through a sophisticated information warfare campaign, which is designed to monitor and manipulate our every thought, word, and deed.
Importantly, this offensive attack on us is intended to suppress and stamp out freedom in every aspect of our lives—economic freedom; political freedom (particularly the freedom to impart and receive information and to accept or reject information); physical movement freedom; healthcare decision freedom; and, above all, the independence to think for ourselves—what can be called mental freedom.
Before I expose this global empire in more detail, I would like to share with you, dear reader, a story about my parents. It serves to contrast the 1950s’ version of mass surveillance and harsh restrictions on individual freedoms in certain parts of the world with the 2020s version of repression, wherein all of humanity—regardless of where one lives—is steadily and surreptitiously being herded into an omnipresent totalitarian control grid.
Harking Back To 1955
In 1955, my parents, Maida and Janko, risked everything to leave their homeland, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It was not a decision they took lightly, for it meant losing everything—possibly even their lives—if Yugoslav authorities ever found out that my parents had no intention of ever returning after visiting neighboring Austria for what they told border guards was simply a fun weekend excursion.
Since the end of the Second World War, Yugoslavia had been ruled by the communists under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito. Although Tito’s government tried to improve the living standards of the average person, his apparatchiks’ authoritarian rule left a lot to be desired.
For instance, a major impediment to progress was the entrenched corruption at every level of the Yugoslav government. Members of the Communist Party received privileges and favors, while everyone else waited months on end for basic necessities, such as foodstuffs and housing. Among party members, kickbacks and bribery were commonplace. Advancement up the social and political ladder was based on party allegiance and on who you knew, not on merit.
Another major drawback under Tito’s reign was the curtailment of individual freedoms. My parents had witnessed firsthand an erosion of their basic rights—their right to assemble; their right to speak freely; their right to travel; and their right to own a business. If anyone bravely spoke out, either publicly or privately, against these injustices, the state would monitor and track his every move. One could even be watched by a nosy neighbour, who might well be working as a snitch for the government.
The surveillance net cast over Yugoslav society and the restrictions imposed on civil liberties became worse as the rift between Belgrade and Moscow intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Starting in 1948, the Soviets actively tried to interfere with Yugoslavia’s domestic political affairs. They even sought to overturn the Yugoslav government, for Moscow disapproved of Tito’s desire to chart an independent course, separate from the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc.
In June 1948, for example, the Soviets addressed the Yugoslav people with a call to overthrow their government. Yet, despite Moscow’s shadow permeating all levels of Yugoslavia’s internal political affairs, Tito’s communists managed to retain power. The USSR and its Eastern European allies refused to retreat, though. They still threatened to invade upon any pretext.
At Stalin’s behest, the Soviets tried to assassinate Tito on several occasions. Meanwhile, once-friendly neighbors like Hungary and Romania, now in the grip of the USSR, blocked Yugoslavia’s borders and shot at—and sometimes killed—Yugoslav border guards.
Against this backdrop, my parents made the fateful decision to leave their homeland. For years, they had been hearing through the grapevine about the “Promised Land”: the continent of North America. A land where the post-war economy was booming. A land of endless possibilities and countless opportunities. A land where, if one were willing to work hard, anything could be achieved. It was time for them to make their move.
Fortunately, my mother had stayed in contact with Franc Kopitar, a close friend of her family since childhood. Franc, after having served with Tito’s partisans (his partisan code name was Silvo) during the Second World War, had joined the Yugoslav state tourist and transport agency Putnik. (The agency was later renamed Kompas—a name it holds to this day.)
Although Franc was a patriot, ready to do whatever was necessary to defend his nation against an invading military force, he deeply distrusted the communists. Thus, he was willing to secretly help my parents escape Tito’s iron fist to seek a better life.
In 1955, through his connections in the government, Franc was able to secure the requisite visa and travel documents that enabled my parents to visit Graz, Austria, on a “temporary weekend pass.” The documents were the real deal: They bore the required stamps of authorization and other markings that would mislead the authorities into believing that my parents would return after their weekend sojourn in neighboring Austria.
Franc had instructed my parents to fully furnish their apartment with newly purchased furniture before they left. He knew this would mislead anyone who might be prying into my parents’ travel plans. After all, why on earth would anyone spend all of their meagre earnings to buy brand new furniture for their apartment if they planned to permanently leave the country?
With the deceptive scene of decorated rooms set in place and their deceptive scheme set in motion, my by-now-virtually-penniless parents packed everything they treasured into two small suitcases and set out for the Ljubljana train station on a cold January afternoon in 1955.
Filled with hope and trepidation, they boarded the train that would take them to the Yugoslav/Austria border. Not knowing how this momentous day would end, three questions weighed heavily on their minds:
Who and what was waiting for them at the border?
If their papers were not in order, were they going to be taken to prison and interrogated for days on end?
Worse, if their papers were not in order or their demeanor seemed suspicious, would they be hauled off the train and escorted to a nearby forest, never to be seen again? They knew such a tragic end had befallen many unfortunate souls who had tried to escape Tito’s reign.
The train reached the border with Austria by nightfall. (Austria at the time was divided into four Allied occupation zones: British, American, French, and Soviet.) Before it was allowed to cross into the British occupation zone, Yugoslav military authorities boarded in search of anyone who looked remotely suspicious or was suspected of traveling without authorization.
My parents had been instructed by Franc to look the soldiers straight in the eye and smile when asked to present their documents for inspection. It was imperative to make eye contact. If you were perceived to be avoiding the authorities’ direct gaze or if you looked nervous, you would immediately be ordered to disembark.
But making eye contact was easier said than done. My parents watched helplessly as a passenger interrogated ahead of them was removed from their railway car and dragged into the adjacent forest. Within seconds, they heard the echo of gunshots.
Years later, my parents told me it was one of the most difficult moments they ever had to endure. They recalled feeling morbid fear and dread as they forced themselves to sit calmly and not perspire—while their insides were turning to jelly.
To their enormous relief, when it came time to have their documents examined, everything was found to be in order. Nothing about their papers, their countenance, or their actions betrayed their secret. And so they were allowed to remain on the train and proceed into Austria.
Once they reached the Graz train station, they had no idea what to do or where to go. So they stood on the platform until a man in a grey trench coat approached and asked, in perfect Croatian (though with a British accent), “Are you visiting or escaping?”
After hearing their answer, the man chaperoned them to a processing centre, where they were provided with food and water by the Catholic relief agency Caritas Internationalis. From there they were transported by bus, along with other refugees, to a Displaced Person Camp (DP Camp Nr. 1001) located in Wels, Austria, in the American occupation zone.
There, my parents were interrogated and processed by American officials and then shown to their tight-but-blessedly clean accommodations in the crowded camp.
Although the camp was crammed with refugees from all over Eastern Europe, everyone made a point of getting along. My parents met many wonderful people of every neighboring nationality—Hungarian, Ukrainian, Slovenian, Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian—and from all walks of life during their stay at the camp. In the evenings, everyone played cards and shared stories—always full of intrigue and often pathos—about their harrowing journey from Eastern Europe.
After spending three months at the DP camp, my parents were invited to move into the home of a wonderful Austrian family as part of the Austrian government’s refugee sponsor program, which was coordinated through the United Nations Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The program was intended to help refugees learn the German language while providing them with a trade so that they could better assimilate into and contribute to Austrian society. (On average, about ten percent of all refugees would end up permanently staying in Austria, while the remainder would move abroad.)
Despite having forged an enduring bond of friendship during their sixteen months of lodging with the Austrian family, they nonetheless made the bold decision to voyage across the North Atlantic to the Port of Montreal, Canada, in 1957.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Advancing To 2023
Lately I’ve asked myself: If my parents lived today in the region now known as the former Yugoslavia and if they sought to move to a country that promised them an opportunity to improve their fortunes, where would they go?
If they were looking for a place in which the inherent, inalienable rights of citizens are respected by the government, could they find such a place on any continent?
Would they still travel to the Commonwealth country of Canada?
Would they venture as far as the two southernmost Commonwealth nations—New Zealand and Australia?
Would they flee to the ostensibly free United States? Or to a US-controlled European Union country?
How about moving to one of the BRICs—say, to Brazil, Russia, or India? (No, they probably wouldn’t be tempted by China!)
One way to answer these questions is to take a look at the current political and economic conditions in the aforementioned countries—and ascertain the “freedom factor”—or lack thereof—in each.
As we make our way from country to country, we will examine the actions of their governments over the past three years and reach a conclusion on behalf of my parents.
Let’s start with the country they adopted and the country I was born and raised in: Canada.
A 2023 Look at Canada
When my parents immigrated to Canada in 1957, it was indeed a land of opportunity and of plenty. It was possible for a middle-class, single-income family with two children to own a house, a couple of vehicles, and perhaps a summer cottage.
My parents had only a sixth-grade education, but they were willing to work hard. In a span of two years, they earned and saved enough to start their own business—a beauty salon. By 1963, they were able to buy their first detached home for $10,000, with a $5,000 down payment. Five years later, they managed to pay off the mortgage from the proceeds of their modest income. Looking back, I find their determination and savings skills incredible!
Now, imagine what that same scenario would look like today. The average selling price of a Canadian detached home in January 2023 was $612,204. If we apply what my parents did, putting down half the price, we would shell out a whopping $306,000 up front then pay off the remaining $306,000 over the next five years.
That works out to approximately $61,200 in annual mortgage payments, not including interest. If we calculate the cost of food, clothing, and fuel—another $40,000 per year for an average four-person family—we would have to earn around $100,000 a year plus another $100,000 or so to cover property and income taxes and mortgage interest.
Thus, we would have to earn around $200,000 in pre-tax annual income to live a fairly moderate lifestyle, afford our mortgage, taxes, and basic costs of living—all to achieve what my parents were able to do in the early 1960s on an at-the-time much more modest income.
Does such a scenario seem even remotely possible today? I think not.
The truth of the matter is that in Canada, as in most of the world, the cost of living has skyrocketed. The broad middle class that existed in Canada and most of the Western world from the 1950s through the 1980s, three decades when the average worker could own his own home, is being squeezed out of existence.
Rapid inflation has eaten away the purchasing power of both Canadian and US dollars even as housing costs have helium-ballooned up, up, and away. Making matters worse, rising energy, food, household goods, and healthcare prices have contributed to spiraling inflation, which is aggravating an already serious decline in real wages.
On the political scene, the present conduct of the Canadian government is virtually unrecognizable compared to the conduct of its predecessor government in the 1950s. The current regime in Canada, like most of the so-called “Western liberal democracies,” has shown disdain for truth and for individual freedom ever since the pseudopandemic was unleashed on the world in March 2020.
Like most countries, Canada’s federal and provincial governments implemented reprehensible COVID measures—lockdowns, physical distancing, masking, quarantines, QR codes, and experimental mRNA gene therapy mandates—to combat the alleged “deadly COVID virus.”
When Canadians from all walks of life revolted peacefully against the assault on their inalienable and constitutional rights by forming and participating in the Truckers Freedom Convoy, the regime retaliated. Full of spite, the thuggish Trudeau found an extreme way to remove protesters’ right to peacefully assemble. On February 14, 2022, he invoked the Emergencies Act—the first time it had ever been enacted in Canadian history.
The invocation of the Emergencies Act enabled Ottawa police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to forcibly dismantle the four-week-long, thousands-strong peaceful demonstration in the nation’s capital. Despite being orderly, respectful, and nonviolent, these unarmed citizens were beaten by brutal, rifle-wielding officers. Two elderly protesters were trampled by police horses, and journalists were pepper-sprayed and shot.
Using the pretext of the Emergencies Act, the federal government even went so far as to freeze the bank accounts of some Canadians who had either organised or financially supported the convoy.
Then, on April 27, 2023—more than a year after the protest was broken up—Bill C-11, officially known as the Online Streaming Act, became law. Cowardly Canadian senators voted for it despite all their previously recommended amendments to it having failed. The new law will enforce sweeping internet censorship legislation that silences everyday Canadians on social media platforms.
In sum, Canada has completely lost its sense of humanity. The compassion and kindness that Canadians are known for throughout the world still exists, but it is being suppressed and buried under a mountain of lies propagated by the government and its handlers, who are part and parcel of the aforementioned global dictatorship.
CONCLUSION
Maida and Janko would not find economic freedom, political freedom, physical freedom, healthcare freedom, or mental freedom in today’s Canada.
. . .
We’ll now take a peek at three other Commonwealth of Nations countries.
A 2023 Look at Australia, New Zealand, and the UK
The rulers of the other fifty-five nations in the Commonwealth couldn’t engineer an excuse for following Canada’s freeze on bank accounts, but some of them adopted especially savage measures to eradicate an alleged novel disease called COVID-19.
The Australian government not only mandated curfews, masking, physical distancing, and the shutdown of the economy through lockdowns, but it ordered the army to patrol city streets during the lockdowns. In the Northern Territories, soldiers forcibly removed residents who were suspected of having the dreaded disease and transported them to Quarantine Camps.
In two major Australian cities, the political puppets controlled by the global oligarchs may not have frozen the bank accounts of lockdown protestors, but they did order police in riot gear to attend protests in Melbourne and Sydney, where they shot rubber bullets at unarmed fleeing people and pepper-sprayed the face of a 70-year-old woman who had fallen and was lying helpless in the street.
New Zealand, likewise, turned into a full-fledged police state, enforcing home detentions and citywide quarantine zones. Whoever was found breaching the government’s draconian lockdown orders faced arrest and even a prison sentence. In March 2023, for example, Pastor Billy Te Kahika and his colleague, Vincent Eastwood, were sentenced to four months and three months imprisonment, respectively, for illegally organising and attending a protest in front of TVNZ.
Aside from implementing ruthless COVID measures similar to Australia’s, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern arbitrarily mandated “vaccination” for public health officials, pharmacists, barbers, teachers, and community support service employees. (More on Ardern below.)
The UK government, while not as harsh as its Aussie or Kiwi counterparts, nonetheless behaved repressively and reprehensibly in its anti-COVID efforts. Police were ordered to enforce a limit on gatherings of no more than six people in pubs, restaurants, cinemas, and outdoor spaces.
Like its Commonwealth partners, Britain didn’t shy away from using dubious tactics to manipulate a subset of its population. Its “nudge unit,” set up by the Cabinet Office in 2010, has been applying behavioural science principles—aka the pressure of propaganda—to steer public policy on everything from paying taxes to insulating homes. During the scamdemic, this unaccountable and unethical “nudge unit” scared, shamed, and scapegoated the public into taking the COVID jab.
We mustn’t forget that the UK is home to one of the world’s leading technocrats, the newly crowned King Charles III. In January 2020, then-Prince Charles returned to Davos for the first time in thirty years to speak at a World Economic Forum annual meeting—this one was celebrating the WEF’s 50th anniversary. And what subject did this pseudo-environmentalist address? Why, of course, his passion for adopting decarbonization and other sustainable development initiatives, which he had to know were designed to further impoverish the poor and further enrich His Royal Highness and his avaricious buddies around the globe.
CONCLUSION
Maida and Janko would not find economic freedom, political freedom, physical freedom, healthcare freedom, or mental freedom in today’s Commonwealth of Nations countries.
. . .
We’ll pause here to inquire: Who are the actors reading their lines from the same worldwide script and performing identical roles as enforcers for the emerging global government?
In Canada, the most notable cast members are Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Both are lackeys of Klaus Schwab and graduates of his Young Global Leaders (YGL) academy—the indoctrination arm of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Other characters in this unfolding drama—YGL graduates all—include New Zealand’s dictatorial former Prime Minister-turned-Harvard-
The YGLs’ chief raison d’être, it would appear, is to carry out the WEF’s Great Reset/Fourth Industrial Revolution initiatives. The WEF agenda is being aided and abetted by the secretive Bilderberg Group, by Malthusian depopulationists at the eugenical Club of Rome, and, most notably, by the globe-wide organization that fathered the WEF: the United Nations.
Through its deceptive Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its sinister Agenda 2030—the latter saddled with admirable-sounding-but-
As I write this, Agenda 2030’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals are being instituted across the globe through the WEF’s Great Reset and its transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution.
And, as I write this, the installation of those SDGs is being abetted by numerous central banks—most notably the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada, the European Central Bank (ECB), the People’s Bank of China (PBC), the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBR), and the US Federal Reserve (the Fed). These and other nations’ central banks are coordinating their efforts with what Tragedy and Hope author Carroll Quigley called the “apex” of the central bank network, the Basel, Switzerland-based Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
The central bankers intend to unleash, eventually in every nation on earth, the most extensive, oppressive social control mechanism ever devised: the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). (In the beginning, each country will have its own CBDC, but it makes sense that ultimately they would be merged into a single global digital currency.)
The implementation of CBDCs, combined with the rollout of a digital ID system, country by country, will spell the end of human freedom. Both the CBDCs and the digital IDs will be sold by the central banks to the unsuspecting public as a safeguard to protect the user’s anonymity and data. However, that pitch will be a deception designed to obscure the malicious intent and dictatorial bent of this monumental control grid.
Of the 208 nations with central banks, 119 of them are currently developing their own form of digital currency.
And that brings us to the United States of America, its all-seeing, all-knowing, all-controlling Federal Reserve Bank, and its other forms of imprisonment and enslavement.
A 2023 Look at the US
In addition to the planned rollout of the Federal Reserve-issued CBDC, there is movement afoot to launch a nationwide digital ID in the US.
US Senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming have introduced Senate Bill 884, also known as “the Improving Digital Identity Act of 2023.” If this bill passes both chambers and is signed into law, it will require all Americans to have a valid digital ID if they want to connect to the internet, open and maintain a bank account, obtain a passport, and gain access to medical care. In essence, it will mimic the social credit score system the government of China uses to track and control its citizens. It is the very vehicle that the WEF is so eager to deploy across the rest of the world.
SB 884 is the latest, most obvious, and most concerning evidence of the US government’s ongoing public-private partnership with Big Tech. It points to the intent of the corporate-controlled, highly centralized and security-conscious government to surveil the movements of the entire US population.
Of course, the panopticon created by the Improving Digital Identity Act will allow US federal and state agencies to not only monitor everyone’s actions but also to block, silence, and sideline dissenters who disagree with the official narrative. All layers of government will be able to openly, actively, legally censor citizens and ignore their rights as codified by the constitutions of the US and its 50 states.
This is exactly what Google and its YouTube, Meta and its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms have been doing to their users in their attempts to silence anyone who presents inconvenient facts about COVID or any other politically sensitive agenda.
For those of you who think the State of Florida is a shining example of preserving liberty and human rights, think again. Gov. Ron DeSantis has just sidelined Florida’s Senat
In its place, Gov. DeSantis is promoting SB 252, which would end vaccine mandates and passports only for existing “COVID-19 vaccines.” Under SB 252, citizens in Florida would not be protected from future “pandemics,” future vaccine mandates, or future vaccine passport requirements.
Therefore, in the future, when the director (read: dictator) of the WHO declares a new pandemic under the vague requirements stipulated in the upcoming new global “Pandemic Treaty”—without even a shred of evidence of the existence of a contagious disease—Floridians would be required to surrender their bodily autonomy to an entirely new set of draconian mandates.
In some ways, the US is the worst in the world when it comes to stripping citizens of the right to make their own healthcare decisions and safeguard their mental and physical sovereignty. For, besides working intimately with the transhumanist ideologues at the WHO, the Rockefeller Foundation, the WEF, and other UN agencies for several years, the US federal government has been at the epicenter of development, testing, and deployment of the experimental mRNA gene therapy “countermeasures.” This research and the resulting products have adversely affected the lives of not only Americans but of people throughout the world.
Looking back, we recall that in early 2020 the US government, as part of Operation Warp Speed (OWS), worked hand-in-hand with the Department of Defence (DoD) and its US Army Contracting Command branch, plus the National Security Council (NSC) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), to award clinical development and manufacturing contracts to each of the “vaccine” manufacturers—Pfizer, Moderna,
AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Janssen—even before deployment of the dangerous COVID-19 experimental gene therapies to the 50 states and the rest of the world could proceed.
The DoD went so far as to design, oversee, and organise the highly sensitive clinical trials for these experimental products. These steps are typically taken by the vaccine manufacturers themselves. They traditionally take years and years to complete, compared to the few weeks in which the COVID-19 trials were apparently conducted.
CONCLUSION
Maida and Janko would not find economic freedom, political freedom, physical freedom, healthcare freedom, or mental freedom in today’s United States of America.
. . .
But what if my parents decided to move to today’s Germany or the German part of Switzerland?
Or what if they chose to join the defiant anti-Macron protesters in France instead of departing, as they did, from the port at Le Havre on a ship bound for the Port of Montreal?
Or what if they felt for—and elected to fight side-by-side with—the persecuted farmers in The Netherlands?
Or what if they opted to stay put in 2020s’ Austria?
Would they find any aspect of freedom left in the European Union countries?
A 2023 Look at the EU
The simple answer: No! The EU is a premeditated economic, political, and social failure.
In fact, the EU was an idea dreamed up not by the citizens of any nation in Europe but by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and David Rockefeller’s Club of Rome. Their rationale for creating the EU was painfully obvious: It’s easier for intelligence agencies and avowed eugenicists to control one larger, dependent, compromised, and impotent entity than to control numerous smaller, still-independent, sovereign nation-states.
The leaders—if they can be called that—of the European nations are EU sock puppets and shills. As such, they are doing everything in their power to deindustrialise and destroy their respective economies. As I just said, weakened national and regional governments are much easier to fold into a global empire than are strong, independent ones. The leaders of Germany, France, Austria, Spain, et al. have to know this, which means they have been corrupted to the core.
Here’s a prime example. The so-called heads of state in Europe insist they are protecting their own country’s national sovereignty and security by imposing economic sanctions on Russia—at Washington’s behest. They pretend the sanctions are meant to injure the big bad bear who dared attack NATO-controlled Ukraine.
But this is not true. The sanctions are actually decimating their own economies and peoples. The energy shortages, rising prices of goods, food shortages, and climbing interest rates throughout Europe are all intended results of those sanctions. I repeat: The leaders of Germany, France, Austria, Spain, et al. have to know this, which means they have been corrupted to the core.
They also pretend that the structure of the EU’s central government in Brussels is a “representative democracy.” No, it isn’t. Not even close. At its heart is the European Commission (EC)—the EU’s executive body—which is made up of unelected officials. The current EC President, notoriously corrupt Ursula von der Leyen, sets policy for the entire EU behind closed doors. Once the EC formulates a new policy, it’s just a matter of time before the bureaucrats in the European Parliament give it their rubber stamp of approval.
Secrecy, non-transparency, and no accountability are the name of the game. The EC is a farce and a failure through and through.
Similarly, the purported independence of the European Central Bank (ECB) is a sham. Although its website says the ECB is not “allowed to seek or take instructions from EU institutions or bodies, from any government of a Member State or from any other body,” the ECB is heavily influenced by the bank that created it in 1999: the BIS.
And, like the BIS, the ECB’s day-to-day operations are kept secret. It never releases a press release after a monetary policy meeting of its Governing Council, despite the European Parliament passing repeated resolutions demanding that it do so. Moreover, its structure, method of operation, and lack of accountability mirror that of the BIS.
In short, it’s hard to imagine a more undemocratic institution than the ECB. Yet this is the bank that Eurozone nations are asked to blindly trust when it comes to formulating their monetary policy. Simply mind-boggling!
With such an autocratic structure already in place, it was oh-so-easy for EC members to go along with the “pandemic” narrative by making backroom deals with the pharmaceutical companies to purchase millions of doses of the COVID-19 “vaccine” and by recommending that all member states implement the criminal COVID-19 measures.
Likewise, it was a snap to persuade EU member states to stand by in silence after Washington, the real power behind NATO, carried out a blatant act of war against them by destroying the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
We spoke earlier of a few graduates of Klaus Schwab’s YGL academy, mentioning one European alumnus, France’s Macron, by name. Other Young Global Leaders who have advanced through the political ranks in Europe include former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and current German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Not to be left out: EU President Ursula von der Leyen, who sits on the WEF’s Board of Trustees.
Not surprisingly, the EU member states are following the US lead in pressing ahead with a digital ID system and basing it on China’s enslavement/imprisonment model.
Croatia (once part of Yugoslavia), where my father, Janko, is from, plans to be the first EU member to roll out the digital ID system for travelers flying between Zagreb and Helsinki this summer. The “pilot project” is using the UK-based company Verify 365 to merge the electronic identity of passengers with the new MyID Digital Wallet system. As always, the scheme is being promoted to the public as “a safe, secure and convenient way to prove who you are.”
Thankfully, some citizens in EU countries are rising up in defiance of the ruling oligarchy. In the Netherlands, for instance, thousands of Dutch farmers revolted against their government’s insane plan to cut nitrogen emissions by permanently closing more than 11,000 farms. The farmers created their own political movement, the Farmer-Citizen Movement—or BoerburgerBeweging (BBB)—which recently triumphed in regional elections after months of widespread tractor protests.
Then we have the millions of disgruntled citizens who have been regularly flocking to the streets of Paris and other major French cities to protest various economic and political “reforms.” Their initial complaint about higher fuel taxes (remember the yellow vest movement in 2019?) has evolved into a revolt against “Monarch” Macron’s decision to increase the legal pension age from 62 to 64. Macron’s invocation of Article 49.3—for the 11th time in his “reign”—allowed him to bypass the National Assembly (France’s lower house of Parliament). On May Day, protests against that perceived injustice got ugly.
To be sure, these massive demonstrations and the BBB’s encouraging victory are positive steps. No major liberation of Europeans from their own governments will take place, however, until the entire edifice of the EU is torn down. Most importantly, Europe will not be fully emancipated until NATO is dismantled. Only then will the people of each European nation be truly freed from the shackles of the Washington establishment that dictates every aspect—military and economic and otherwise—of their lives.
CONCLUSION
Maida and Janko would not find economic freedom, political freedom, physical freedom, healthcare freedom, or mental freedom in today’s European Union countries.
. . .
In all fairness, we must point out that totalitarian control and surveillance mechanisms, such as digital IDs and CBDCs, are not unique to Western countries. Venturing into the Eastern countries, we would encounter the exact same control grid being developed, with the same globalist, imperialist players at the helm, all of them ensuring that the East, like the West, remains under their domination.
One group of nations that is neither geographically East nor West but that has formed a bloc to counteract the dominance of the US and its allies is what Goldman Sachs ex-chief economist Jim O’Neill coined the BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
I wonder: Would my parents ferret out a haven of freedom in any of the BRICS nations? We’ll soon find out.
A 2023 Look at the BRICS Nations
Countless pundits and journalists in the alternative media have opined that the BRICS nations—particularly Russia, China, and India—are leading the charge in an anti-globalist, anti-global-governance, anti-single-global-empire crusade.
On the contrary, nothing could be further from the truth.
Here are some proofs that they misunderstand the geopolitical reality:
All of the BRICS nations are firmly onboard the WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution and the UN’s Agenda 2030—notably its SDGs.
The central banks of Brazil, Russia, India, Chin
The BRICS are not challenging Western economic hegemony. Their financial initiatives are deeply connected to the World Bank and the IMF. Therefore, they must be seen as closely connected to the Washington establishment, not clashing with it (despite appearances to the contrary).
When it comes to COVID-19, China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin have been leading the pack in enacting a biosecurity surveillance state.
Indeed, ever since the scamdemic scare was announced in early 2020, the Kremlin has been complicit, just like the collective West, in carrying out harmful anti-human, anti-health measures under the direction of the WHO’s health tyranny.
For example, President Putin and his Minister of Health (and WHO executive board member) Mikhail Albertovič Mur
Moreover, Russia has introduced vaccination mandates for certain regions of the country and mandatory jabs for the military.
Because Russia has no equivalent of the US CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), it’s difficult to ascertain exactly how many Russians are being injured or murdered by their experimental Sputnik V jab. Nevertheless, thanks to Argentina’s Ministry of Health, we do know that, of the three “vaccines” the Argentinian government has adopted for use—Sputnik V, AstraZeneca, and China’s Sinopharm—the Sputnik V injection has been the leader of the pack when it comes to causing adverse reactions, beating the other two contenders by a huge margin.
Russian doctors are well aware of health risks associated Sputnik V, but they are labeled “terrorists” and are threatened by the state with excessive fines and prison time if they voice their concerns. Afraid of the consequences, most of them self-censor.
If you think biometric surveillance is unique to China and the West, you are wrong. Herman Gref, the CEO of Russia’s Sberbank and a member of the WEF’s Board of Trustees (with Ursula von der Leyden, you will recall), has teamed up with Russian telecom titan Rostelecom to form Digital Identification Technologies JV, which will create a unified biometric system for all of Russia.
Soon, the poor propagandized and punctured people of Russia will not be able to access any government services unless they hand over their biometric data—bypassing the need for pesky QR codes altogether.
Should we be surprised that Putin and his functionaries are no more curbing individual freedoms than are the West’s tyrants? Why would we be? What would prevent Putin from following in the footsteps of his predecessors? Nothing I know of, unless the people of Russia begin to mobilise and protest in a big way, as their French brothers and sisters have done in Paris.
Consider: When Mikhail Gorbachev presided over the former Soviet Union, he was avowed member of the globalist-eugenicist Club of Rome. He also partnered with Canadian globalist-eugenicist Maurice Strong to establish the Earth Charter global sustainability project in conjunction with Agenda 21. Both Gorbachev and Strong were leading figures in the UN’s early steps toward global governance.
Just because the Soviet Union petered out and Gorby and Strong are no longer with us is no reason to assume that Russia’s ruler of twenty-four years has not been pursuing the same globalist ends. Indeed, Putin hardly seems the type to let other world leaders hog the limelight, take all the marbles, or grow dangerously bigger and stronger than he is.
Truth be told, BRICS bloc members Russia and China are simply another version of the same totalitarian control grid set up by the technocrats in the West. Neither of them offers any out—any salvation from the harms of biologics, biometrics, and biosecurity—to their people.
In fact, China has been the test bed for all of the totalitarian mechanisms that either have been or will be let loose on the rest of the world. During the pseudopandemic, China launched a series of vicious COVID-19 measures—inhumane lockdowns, mandatory QR codes, ubiquitous biometric surveillance, mass compulsory vaccination, forced—and enforced—masking rules, and constant testing. In short, China is a full-fledged scientific dictatorship, aka technocracy.
And what about the other three BRICS nations: Brazil, India, and South Africa?
Besides being onboard the WEF bandwagon, the WHO bandwagon, the CDBC bandwagon, the World Bank and IMF bandwagon, and thus the entire Western hegemonic bandwagon, have these three countries installed any politicians or policies or programs that are freedom-oriented and that would make my parents want to flee to them?
First, Brazil. The largest South American country is now under the thumb of the globalist cabal with the election of Luiz Inácio Lulada Silva (commonly known as “Lula”), Brazil’s 39th President. Unlike his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, who refused to sign an international pandemic treaty and resisted certain aspects of the scamdemic scheme, Lula fully embraces the monolithic, world-dominating agenda of the WHO, GAVI, and the WEF.
To wit: In February 2023, Lula declared that for families to remain eligible for the famous Bolsa Family Program (BFP), a social program for the poorest of the poor families, they must vaccinate their children—specifically with the COVID-19 experimental gene therapy. Otherwise, they lose the benefits afforded them under the BFP.
Next, India. Contrary to what both the mainstream and the alternative media have been claiming, the Gates Foundation never got “kicked out” of India. In fact, the opposite is true. In 2006, for example, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, along with India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan, launched the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI).
Over the years, the PHFI received funding from pharma companies (e.g., GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson), from “philanthropists” (e.g., the usual suspects: Bill and Melinda Gates and the Rockefellers), and from NGOs (e.g., the World Bank and USAID). When the WHO declared the “pandemic” in early 2020, members of the PHFI were perfectly poised to create, advise, and direct the Indian government’s national COVID Task Force. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to conclude that the PHFI was pivotal in steering all COVID-19 measures and COVID-19 injection-related policies in India.
Last, South Africa. Working closely with the nation’s servile mass media, the South African government, headed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, imposed one of the longest, most severe lockdowns on the continent. The impact of closing small businesses on a populace that largely depends on weekly subsistence wages was catastrophic. Because the state failed to deliver subsides to the poor and self-employed for over a year, nearly one quarter of all small businesses went under, and unemployment skyrocketed.
Brian Pottinger, writing for UnHerd, outlines what the consequences were for those brave individuals who dared challenge the South African government’s insane lockdown restrictions:
An entire section of the population was effectively criminalised: in the first four months of the outbreak, 230,000 citizens, 0.4% of the population, were charged with infringement of the Disaster Regulations for breaking the restrictions, 311 of them policemen. All the charges were later dropped: the criminal justice system simply could not cope.
Thus, there is no way to justify calling the BRICS economic model a non-globalisation alternative to the West’s globalisation push when, in reality, it is just another form of globalisation—a different approach to globalisation.
Like the Western model, the BRICS model is structurally inflationary. Like the Western model, the BRICS model is not free market-based, but, rather, industrial policy-based. And, significantly, the BRICS model is part and parcel, as is the Western model, of the new international world order. They are the same dysfunctional plan, just with different brandings.
CONCLUSION
Maida and Janko would not find economic freedom, political freedom, physical freedom, healthcare freedom, or mental freedom in any of today’s BRICS nations.
. . .
Granted, there are great power rivalries taking place on the world stage. To the average person, it may actually look as if we are indeed living in a multipolar world, where the weakened nations of the West—led by the fading US empire—on one side of the divide are battling to retain supremacy over the energized nations of the East—led by Russia and China—on the other side of the divide.
“But examples of multipolarity abound,” you insist.
I understand: There’s the conflict in Ukraine, where innocent people on both sides are suffering and dying needlessly.
I understand: Tensions are brewing off the coast of China, where the American Empire is trying in vain to prevent China’s inevitable takeover of Taiwan.
I understand: That same slowly dying American Empire is feverishly trying to prevent European-Russian economic integration by blowing up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, thus enabling Washington to maintain its temporary grip on that region until its inescapable economic collapse is complete.
Despite the veneer of multipolarity, however, there is—as I mentioned at beginning of this article—a single global empire operating at a higher level. Or, you could say, at a deep state level. The unipolar empire exists outside of the general field of perception of the majority of the world’s populace. It transcends not only the East-West partition but all other divides between nations. We will now find out how this is so.
The Global Empire: A Unipolar Prison, a Digital Gulag
At the top of the global empire is “the central bank of all central banks”—the highly secretive and unaccountable Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Its task is to direct and coordinate monetary and fiscal policy for all the central banks around the globe. This is how the BIS directly controls the world’s money supply and indirectly controls trade and national economies.
By holding such an influential and prominent position, the BIS forms the apex of a pyramid-like structure that consists of a ladder-like hierarchy of organizations and institutions comprising the global empire. All of them are run by what I call the parasite class.
Source: Iain Davis
Per this Global Public-Private Partnership (G3P) chart created by UK researcher and journalist Iain Davis, the global empire’s structure is designed so that the chain of command flows from the BIS to the world’s central banks and from them to . . .
. . . the policymakers at the think tanks. These include various Rockefeller funds and foundations, plus the Rockefeller-founded Club of Rome, the Rockefeller-founded Trilateral Commission, and the Rockefeller-founded Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Some of these think tanks actually have non-Rockefeller roots, among them the CFR’s UK equivalent, the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA), and the hardcore eugenicist Chatham House, founded by British diplomat Lionel Curtis in the aftermath of World War One.
The think tanks work in partnership with the BIS and the central banks to set international public-private policy objectives. Once these big-picture objectives are formulated, they are sent to . . . .
. . . the policy distributors, such as the Rockefeller-founded United Nations, the UN’s WHO and IPCC, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, ostensible philanthropists (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation comes to mind), global corporations, and NGOs.
As their name implies, the distributors are tasked with disseminating the policies far and wide, to all corners of the world. They make sure the policies also get into the hands of officials on the next ladder rung down, who are called . . .
. . . the policy enforcers. Their ranks include the various military branches, the judiciary, police and security forces, and any other enforcement arms built into all layers of government (national, provincial, state, local).
These governmental law enforcement bodies work in conjunction with selected “scientific” authorities, such as . . .
. . . the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and the UK’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE).
All of these agencies and authorities must justify the policies they are required to enforce. They often write rules and regulations and ordinances and codes for the policies and then pass them down to the organizations on the lowest rung of the ladder. Iain Davis calls them . . .
. . . the “policy propagandists”—or, in polite terms, the perception managers.
These media and public relations outfits, consisting of the mainstream media (“Establishment” newspapers, magazines, and television and radio stations), social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter), and fact checkers (Full Fact, PolitiFact, Snopes, AP Fact Check, Poynter, etc.), work alongside hybrid warriors (77th Brigade and HutEighteen, for example) and anti-hate campaigners. The latter include the US-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the UK-based Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
The propagandists’ job is to persuade the public—us billions of ordinary folks who stand beneath the ladder-like pyramid—to unthinkingly accept the lies we are being fed and to automatically acquiesce to the repressive policies.
In summary, humanity has never in its entire history faced such an all-pervasive totalitarian, technocratic system of governance.
The purpose of this despotic empire is to curtail, if not remove, humans’ fundamental freedoms, steal our wealth, sap our physical, moral, emotional, and spiritual strength, separate us from our friends and families, and thus control us from head to toe, from here to there and everywhere, all day and all night.
Working behind the scenes, the BIS and the central banks are already causing some sizable banks (think Signature, Silicon Valley, and First Republic banks) to collapse. From here on in, the number of bank failures will only increase. Soon the biggest banks (think JPMorgan Chase & Co.) will start gobbling up not just large and mid-sized competitors but also smaller regional and local banks.
Once the central banks have completely implemented their planned AI-controlled digital monetary and financial system, we will all be held hostage in their global empire, sentenced to their unipolar prison, confined in their digital gulag.
The ailing American Empire will continue to exist for the time being. But that’s only because the parasite class that has been feeding off America’s wealth for centuries still needs the American military to do its bidding—its dirty work—abroad. Once the corporate controlled US Empire has served its purpose economically and militarily and is no longer a viable host, those same greedy parasites will have a feast to end all feasts—with the aim of draining that once-strong, swaggering nation to the last drop. No empire has withstood the generations of blood-suckers.
Putin, too, is dispensable and disposable in the parasitic globalists’ eyes. He cannot curry their favor simply by playing along with their agenda, even though he may perceive himself to be one of them. If Russia is not careful, it will be dismembered, piece by piece. Its valuable resources will be snatched and sold off. It will be turned into a land of warring fiefdoms. Parasites are equal opportunity feeders.
Even common folk like you and I are not immune from the parasitic class, which attaches itself to and absorbs anyone willing to be its host. Regardless of our location, we are all, in varying degree, already living within reach of the tentacles of the parasites’ global empire.
FINAL CONCLUSION
And that brings us back to the question I asked at the start of this article: If my parents had stayed in their place of birth, the region now known as the former Yugoslavia, for the last 58 years and if only now, in 2023, they decided they’d had their fill of the technocratic state’s suppression of their rights, where would they go to find freedom?
My 96-year-old father answered that question when I posed it to him recently. “Knowing what the world is like today,” he replied, “I would probably not go anywhere. Yes, Belarus holds the gold standard when it comes to not complying with the COVID narrative, but I would most likely stay in my home country of Croatia. I would join a network of likeminded people—someone like journalist Andrija Klarić of Slobodni podcast—so that together we can find solutions to this nightmare.”
This article is written in memory of my mother, Maida, and in tribute to her childhood friend Franc, who saved her and her husband, Janko, from a life of repression in Yugoslavia and from possible death by firing squad during their escape.
It also honors my father, Janko, who persuaded me to open my eyes to the ugly, if hidden, realities of the world. With perseverance and patience, he pounded into my teenage head that all is not as it appears to be. He told me to always question everything, to get as many different perspectives as possible when looking into any subject, and, above all, to “follow the money trail, for it never lies.”
They would want me to expose and reject the global empire and its nefarious agenda. They would welcome a truly multipolar world. A world in which “we the people” live in peace, respect everyone’s God-given right to freedom, privacy, and individual sovereignty, and work together in ways that benefit all of humanity and bless our beautiful, abundant earth.

Adding to the very interesting article above mentioning a lot of powerful national but even more international elitist organizations I wanna add two,in my eyes,quite powerful organizations..One the “Council for National Policy”(CNP) in the US and Le Cercle in europe. The CNP is a very secretive group gathering the who is who on the right,conservative side of the power structure in the US. Le Cercle played a central role in the founding of the european union with the Habsburg family and Opus Dei at the center. Starting in the 1950s they also invited power players like David Rockefeller or William Casey to their meetings.Council for National Policy..Funded in 1981 by the former evangelical preacher Tim Lahey and originally financed by Nelson Bunker Hunt,Nelson Rockefeller,the Unification Church aka Moon sect,the Coke and Coors,Regnery Family,among others. Members of the CNP were involved in the Iran-Contra affair,funding of Al-Quaida,and the PNAC document..Every republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan spoke in front of CNP members before getting nominated as candidate on the republican convention. Every head of the CNP with one exception was also member of the Knights of Malta. The CNP doesn’t publish membership lists itself but lists were leaked and the CNP didn’t deny the authenticity of the lists. To name a few famous former or current members of the CNP now..Mike Pence,Rudy Giuliani,Mike Pompeo,John Bolton,Steve Bannon.Michael Flynn,Erik Prince,Peter Thiel,Kenneth Blackwell,Betsy Devos,Tom Fitton(Judicial Watch),Oliver North(Iran-Contra affair),Paul Craig Roberts,Richard deVos,Joseph Coors,Pierre du Pont,Jerry Falwell,Edwin Feulner(Heritage Foundation),Foster Friess(financed Turning Point USA with Charlie Kirk),Jesse Helms,Nelson Bunker Hunt,Herbert William Hunt,Jack Kamp,Tim Lahey,Larry McDonald(also John Birch Society),Edwin Meese the third,Charles Missler,Grover Norquist,Larry Pratt,Pat Robertson,Phyllis Schlafly,General John Singlaub(Iran-Contra affair,Cleon Skousen(Mormon mafia),Edward Teller(inventor of the neutron bomb),Richard Viguerie,Paul Weyrich etc…Here an introduction into the Council for National Policy..https://odysee.com/$/playlist/25243a889377da7f090077f599968d74241a063c. Here the links to the two part documentary series provided by researcher Josh Reeves called “the secret right”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a18YlNgIXEE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap0ndJHPflQ. Here the speech of Donald Trump in front of CNP members in august 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZCGpI_-GMo. Hier eine hochinteressante Einführung zu der wohl noch geheimeren Organisation “Le Cercle”. http://web.archive.org/web/20220204201753/https://isgp-studies.com/le-cercle-pinay
Thank you Thomas for an absolutely riveting comment. I am very interested in Le Cercle, in particular. Their influence is enormous and yet they are frequently overlooked. I have written about them before (see link below) but they are an organisation that I have always wanted to investigate further but have never got around to doing so. Your comment and the invaluable information you have provided, has spurred me on to do so. Many thanks.
https://iaindavis.com/the-new-world-order-and-the-european-union/
Thank you very much for the unexpectedly quick answer and of course for not only the huge treasure of valid information showing various mechanisms of the step by step implementaton of global governance through public private partnerships,CBDCs etc..I leave comments mentioning Le Cercle or the CNP under so many clips made by indy media content creators cause I believe digging into those organizations create a more complete picture of the power structures either in the US or europe and especially dealing with the CNP realizing how big the influence of that nexus is on the US alternative media sphere shaping the counternarratives to the mainstream ones and this network of influencers was also key bringing Trump into the white house with people like Steve Bannon as a mastermind of the Trump campaign using the data mining company Cambridge Analytica(with its roots in the UK intelligence apparatus interestingly enough) and Robert Mercer,a zionist and CNP member himself,financing it. Once you realize that the british government or the british deep state authorized the usage of this data mining program for not only the Trump presidential but also the Brexit campaign and various others campaigns of those new-right nationalistic,patriotic movements from the Lega with Salvini to Fronte National with Le Pen or yes Orban with Fidesz in hungary then some must start wondering what’s going on there.The zionist connection to nearly all of those nationalistic,patriotic parties and politicians is also all over the place. Neil Sanders presented interested work on that issue in my view. Adding Steve Bannons membership in a catholic thinktank at least over the last few years under the patronage of members of european black nobility like the Habsburg or Bourbon-Parma families makes that whole MAGA movement even more interesting and just shows me that this whole anti-establishment label of that movement with Trump as the public figure head is just a marketing trick but ok I first and foremost wanted to say thanks for the quick answer and all of your work and at least in my view your willingless to keep an open mind not falling into a partisan trap! By the way I’m from austria if that’s of any interest.
Thank again Thomas. I’m a voluntarist, so I don’t see any political figures as anti-establishment. I find the notion of an anti-establishment US president immensely funny.
When Tutu told South Africans to line up and vote I was furious. Nevertheless I think RFK has said and done enough to make him believable. Whether he would ever be allowed to win is another thing entirely.
Somewhat off-thread, apologies.
Many thanks for an excellent article. As Edward Slavsquat says: “BRICS’ll fix it” !
First, thanks to you, Skripac, Waggaman, Off-Guardian, Corbett, et. al for continuing to shine the light on the fact that No, the grass is not always greener on the other side, and likewise, No, the enemy of my enemy is still not my friend. I continuously see too many Alt Media pundits who praise the “multi-polar world order” as embracing what Kit Knightly calls the false binary, or in more computing terms, embracing the XOR (exclusive-OR i.e. proposition is true when you pick one side only, it is false when you pick both sides or you pick neither side). In fact, despite all the geopolitical conflicts, I liken what’s really going on behind the scenes of this multi-polar world order, as really being a Multi-polar World Collusion where political entities who are supposedly adversarial, somehow all coincidentally decide to treat and tag people like cattle, effectively implementing similar or overlapping agendas, despite the rhetoric, regardless if the results were intended to be the same or not. Maybe that says something about the nature of The State.
And speaking of Ron DeSantis as mentioned in Skripac’s article, this is another red flag:
https://twitter.com/govrondesantis/status/1135997951606697989
Regarding the (centralized, government controlled) digital IDs Skripac mentions here and what you discussed with Whitney Webb about SDG 16, US Senate Bill 884 “Improving Digital Identity Act of 2023” is the most blatant about it, but it is not the only bill. I’ve also been doing some research and there’s a lot more going on that is already being rolled out surreptitiously I fear, under Trojan Horse legislation and in other guises.
Senate Bill 884 also makes me wonder if something happens when people get into political office at the highest levels. One of the sponsors/coauthors, senator Cynthia Lummis, was pro-crypto/pro-bitcoin and talked a good game about financial freedom, etc and this seems like a slap in the face. I don’t know if she’s just ignorant of the implications and abuse of such laws and/or if there are committees behind the scenes (which I know there are–most senators and congressman are influenced and/or educated by them; not just lobbyists). I know the rational or the marketing is to protect against fraud e.g. FTX scandal, etc. And that brings me up to another point: the ongoing conflicts of the multi-polar vs uni-polar/imperial world provides the perfect poly-crisis to gradually implement a digital Panopticon in multiple ways, some not so obvious.
In fact, due to the populism driven pushback against overtly advertised federal digital IDs in the US, I think Senate Bill 884 may not pass. However, coming back to the theme poly-crisis capitalization, the online surveillance state will and already is expanding via this kind of Trojan Horse instead: https://reclaimthenet.org/global-push-for-age-verification
taking advantage of the culture wars and sadly, it’s working. Multiple bills have already been passed and more are coming at the state and federal level since that article. I find it alarming that the digital Panopticon is subversively coming about by making people want to embrace it. Would you mind if I email you some more about this since it’s too unwieldy for the comments?
I believe the same is true for a CBDC. Such a system will more likely come about in a different guise. As the failed experiment in Nigeria shows, beating people over the head to accept a CBDC doesn’t work, So just like the digital ID and online tracking efforts I alluded to above, it will require more subversive means to implement them in all but name only. For example, FedNow which essentially serves as a precursor (instant inter-bank settlement to allow direct payments to customers of participating commercial banks), rolls out next month July 2023,
BTW may I ask what information you see from donations via DonorBox and Paypal?
Thanks. Yep I suspect that you are spot on about how CBDC will be rolled out. It will require a “reason” and I suspect that will come in the form of a financial crisis or set of financial crises. All I see for donations via DonorBox are email addresses. With PayPal I see address information etc., but only if the Donor provides it or allows PP to share it. I don’t even collect this information let alone store it.
ok thanks for clarifying the donor info received. Regarding CDBC, yeah I think the current financial situation at least the US is in is precipitating one, such as with the sudden failures of the 3 big banks in a row. And the irony is that they were invested in “safe” conservative investments such as long term US treasuries from a few years ago, but the Federal Reserves’ moves to significantly increase the interest rates screwed them over coupled with a few big accounts pulling their money out to start a bank run, and conveniently allowing them to be bought up by bigger banks with close ties to the Fed (and who participates in the FedNow program) John Titus makes a really interesting point here: https://bestevidence.substack.com/p/why-are-rich-peoples-banks-the-ones
that personal accounts used to start the bank runs do not leave a paper trail.
This also coincides with the multiple lawsuits the SEC is filing across the board aimed at crypto companies used to provide utility, exchange, lend and borrow outside of the banking system. They even seem to be implicating that using VPNs to access outside commercial entities not registered in the US is criminal.
Coming back to digital IDs, there are several bills used to implement this under the guise of “age verification” for general sites/platforms providing any publicly accessible medium of user-to-user exchange (the legal definition used), exploiting the current social crisis or culture wars. The government already wants to control “misinformation” and I fear this kind of government accessible database of real identification to be mandated everywhere will be abused for the people who opt to communicate anonymously on forums or even sites such as this or Substack (which fit their definition of social media). For example, just recently the US Dept. Of Justice subpoenaed The Python Software Foundation 3 times demanding information on 5 users: https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2023-05-24-pypi-was-subpoenaed/
Usually, when authorities do this, they are also hunting down people by user names across the board in various comment sections, forums/message board and sites (e.g. Reddit, StackExchange), but currently they have to work for it, one by one, to eventually obtain real identities. With the age verification bills and corresponding digital drivers’ licenses each state is already implementing, this process will be a one stop shop for surveillance for any site or platform on the clear web.
Thanks VJ. Very interesting. You may be interested in my latest article for Geopolitics & Empire: –
https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2023/06/06/the-synthetic-hegemonic-currency/
Through 2020 and 2021 I rated this site’s predecessor among the best I could find.
In 2022, I continued to visit expecting to find this site interesting, but my expectations were disappointed.
In 2023, I’ve continued to visit in hope, but to no avail.
Maybe the editor is ‘influencing’ what I find interesting out of what’s written.
Whatever has caused the divergence, in the light of ‘secretive’ groups, the question remains: ‘why is the editor not out in the open?’
Sorry to disappoint. The editor doesn’t wish to take any credit. I believe they deserve some and I had to convince them to put the current tagline on my posts. Unfortunate that you don’t like the changes but I am glad of their assistance. It does not change the factual content in any way, but corrects my grammatical errors and improves the presentation in my view.
Thanks for your reply Iain but unless silent majority put own heads above parapet, we’re aiding wrong-doing going on. Thus, we have to overcome our own shyness.
I understand and appreciate your comment. For what it’s worth, I have met few people who have fought as hard for the truth as my editor. They could not have stuck their head any higher above the parapet. But they just don’t want to take credit for their editorial work, for personal reasons.
Hi Iain,
Many thanks for your email and I do read many of your recommends. I also have read several of your books which are consistence with your excellent reports. We are indeed on the same page and it is always a joy to read you.
Best wishes
Peter

Thanks Peter. When you say “clunky” do you mean difficult to use? Could you clarify please?
An interesting and thought provoking article, as are the comments! One thing that isn’t covered in great detail in the article, although touched on in some of the comments, is who is behind all this. The centre of the onion.
We can get bogged down in three letter organisations like WEF etc but the bottom line is, we live in The System. We were born in to it. If behind it is The Black Nobility, then here in the UK we have been living under their system for hundreds of years. Maybe Covid has woken some of us up to that reality.
Previous generations may have had to pay their penance by going to war. My generation has gone to work 9-5 in order to pay a mortgage. None of us have been really free while we live in The System. Many are content and are happy to serve it as perhaps they go up the greasy pole or keep occupied in their own little ways with sport, gambling, music or whatever they like doing.
We have been living under One World Governance for a while. Covid showed that. The next stage is apparently, the 4th Industrial Revolution. If this is because cheap oil is coming to an end, it does however make you wonder where the energy is going to come from to power it. Quite likely, many of us will be dead or left out in the cold, so it doesn’t matter to the ‘elites’ who control the (defunct) financial system, religions, the military and organised crime.
Perhaps they will trade in us, humans, looking at our potential and betting on whether we reach it. Or how much energy we use and how much we can emit for them to harvest.
Our future may depend on whether they squabble amongst themselves enough for cracks in our prison to appear and for enough of us to want to take the opportunity to push them aside and start afresh. There may however be some amongst them who would WELCOME a world war, as from those ashes a New Age would appear which is what they have wanted all along.
In the meantime, we are all servants of The System and always have been to a certain extent. This includes the alt. media, even those who think they are independent. And not just those who make a good living from talking about the details of the latest characters and plans, but those who unwittingly do their bidding by revealing the details of what is coming. The dictators at the top probably welcome us knowing what is coming as they take that as consent, which is what they need to satisfy their warped minds. At the end of the day, ‘the end justifies the means’ so they plough ahead regardless and many of us are quite happy to go along with it, as long as we are personally OK today.
Thanks Alison. While I agree with much of what you said I would like to offer a rebuttal to, if you don’t mind me saying, your rather fatalistic acceptance. All of what you say may well be true. So what is the point of not resisting? If we’re going down, why not go down fighting?
I don’t agree that there is nothing we can do. The problem is, not enough of us A) know the nature of the problem B) appreciate the possible solutions and, perhaps most importantly, C) are unwilling to contemplate the sacrifices we need to make in order to defend ourselves.
So, if in attempting to address these problems we inadvertently do the bidding of the system, so what? You suggest that this is all taken as consent but again, so what? If the parasite class intend to “plough ahead regardless” what difference does it make, from our perspective, whether or not they feel the need to have our consent? It may be material to them but it is completely irrelevant to us.
If you were in their shoes what would you not want us to do? I imagine for a start they would not want us to shine a light in who they are and where their money/assets are. Where they came from and where they want to go. Which heads of state did they set up and which of those have gone rogue or are they still on script?
What else can we do ? What don’t they like? They don’t seem to like nation states who are not led by their puppets. Nor do they like Christianity. I guess they don’t want people who do not do what they are told by some global institution and are not led down the path to a world further removed from nature and the human spirit.
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it so I imagine they are. That way they can bog us down in detail and confusion, give us false heroes and know exactly what genuine journalists know as they work with them!
They want us to now what is coming, maybe because of some sick belief sysytem that they hold but also because it psychologically prepares us for it. Hollywood plays a part too.
Ignoring them and not complying would work well but we would have to get the bureaucratic classes on board with that. To do that, they would have to be led by independent leaders whether that is politicians or God! Not many politicians are god like but we get what we deserve!
I appreciate all you do, Iain. You are one writer I always read and never file away without digesting your information first. But I have got to the stage where I now want some people to go for the jugular. To go past the details sometimes and identify those at the top, what criminal activities they are up to and where they keep their ill gotten gains. How they control the leaders of countries such as Russia and Israel and further down the food chain, employ so called alt media stars. How they apparently aim to split the US and move the centre of power eastwards.
The talk of the 4th Industrial Revolution rarely it seems to me to mention how it is going to be powered. Is the block chain really going to be used to trade in us as tokens!? Is the ending of cheap oil not the one of the key reasons for the pseudopandemic? That is why I wonder if some kind of New Age is not the ultimate aim.
To stop all this we need to drill down to who, what and why beyond the baddies who are put up to distract. The difficulty is we live under their system and have for all our lives so to stir the population is going to take more than a mild complaint at not being able to use cash or driving your diesel car. If we don’t wake up they will shove us in to their Brave New World using some catastrophic event, real or not.
Thanks Alison for another great comment. What is the objective of their Brave New World? It is to centralise control over every aspect of our lives and to continue their parasitic empire, moving on to ever greater authoritarianism, in my view. Therefore, regardless of “who” “they” are, for me the best defence is clear.
We must decentralise and reject authority. Now, as you rightly point out, that won’t stop them. So it all comes down to numbers. Currently “they” are able to use our so-called democratic system to claim legitimacy for “their” global order. If we, in sufficient numbers, withdraw our support from that alleged system “their” legitimacy will be eroded. If that erosion is of sufficient scale and pace then very quickly, the entire claimed foundation of “their” desired “trust” and “legitimacy” will no longer exist.
At that point, all “they” will have is brute violence, no legitimacy and the true nature of “their” power will be exposed for “all” to see. This explains “their” fixation with securing our trust. They need our compliance, not just to claim legitimacy, but also because that is the primary mechanism by which their entire system functions. If we withdraw our compliance, if we turn our backs on “their” claimed authority, then, beyond brutal oppression, “their” plans simply cannot be implemented.
Which brings me to who “they” are. I understand the Venetian and even Phoenician roots of this empire. I recognise the Black Papacy and its nobility but I also recognise Jeff Bezos and the Rockefellers and the City of London. I appreciate the desire to identify “who” is pulling the strings, but honestly I think we could waste a hell of a lot of time “proving” “who” “they” are. But to what ends?
That is why I focus upon the networks and systems “they” use to oppress us. We can clearly identify and defeat those systems, in doing so we would also defeat “them.” If we win, then who “they” are will be immaterial. They may still have wealth but they will have no mechanism through which to convert that wealth into power, save in the most basic, opportunistic, capitalist sense.
They will no longer sit on top of an empire because there won’t be any way for them to control it. It will no longer be an empire.
“The talk of the 4th Industrial Revolution rarely it seems to me to mention how it is going to be powered. Is the block chain really going to be used to trade in us as tokens!? Is the ending of cheap oil not the one of the key reasons for the pseudopandemic? That is why I wonder if some kind of New Age is not the ultimate aim.”

Hi, Alison. What if it’s not too presumptuous to intrude with my humble opinion into your conversation with Iain? If so, then I would recommend that you take an hour, two or 5, and quickly review this modest but carefully selected archive of mine, which, I dare say, throws quite a lot of light on the plans for the future (in connection with your question) of the most popular “fighters against.”..” WEF, globalists, and so on. In any case, you will find some things that are nowhere to be found in the West. If they’re shown anywhere, I’d take a look with pleasure.

I hope you find it interesting and you have answer to yourself some questions. Have a good day.
“And, like the BIS, the ECB’s day-to-day operations are kept secret. It never releases a press release after a monetary policy meeting of its Governing Council”

Fair point. Perhaps David will be interested in this.
By the way, if anyone claims that there is simultaneously a “proxy war” and an agreement for the Great Reset between Russia and the Western power centers, please explain it. Support for the globalist agenda comes from every level of real power and every significant position in Russia, and the rhetoric about the intractable conflict comes from the same high levels. All of them-from Russia and their present – day Western “enemies”-together began the pseudopandemic, whose goal, as we know, was to launch the final phases of the Great Reset that would lead to the futuristic-dystopian new world order.
Explain how all significant Russian power centers are simultaneously fully engaged in the realization of the Great Reset (which along with the Western ones started with the pseudopandemic), just like the Western power centers, and are simultaneously at war in an insoluble conflict with each other. It would also be interesting to list all the benefits for the continuation of the Great Reset plan that the power centers received from the pseudowar (and especially the Russian ones, which remain in the shadows, but are extremely large; just like the Western ones). And then it becomes clearer.
Russia different path.
Here is a one news from June 13th from the website of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI). (Here’s a look at what ASI is: https :// vigilantcitizenforums .com/threads/russia-through-the-hidden-eye-continuation.10926/post-558944)
..
“Andrey Belousov announced the discussion of scenarios for the development of Russia until 2040 at the SPIEF
First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov called the events related to the Horizon 2040 project one of the key events at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2023).
[…]
“We see a colossal technological challenge. Some experts say that already in the 2030s we will get the so-called technological singularity [the hypothesis that in the future technological development will become uncontrollable and irreversible, which will seriously change human civilization].
[…]
“[Among the directions with which Russia can reach the world] is tradition and conservatism, but that’s not all. It should be a modernized conservatism.
Russia can become the guardian of the traditional values of the West, while the West has said goodbye to these traditional values and moved on to something else, which is actually an anti-tradition within the framework of postmodernism. In the West, there are elites and large social strata that are associated with traditional values. Here it may turn out that Russia is a saving straw for them, which gives them the opportunity to save something else,” Andrei Belousov stressed, answering the question whether Horizon 2040 is an attempt to create meanings with which our country will enter the world arena.” https :// vigilantcitizenforums .com/threads/russia-through-the-hidden-eye-continuation.10926/post-560036

Part of Putin’s statement on SPIEF-2023.
http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/71445
Plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the XXVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
June 16, 2023, 17:50, St. Petersburg
The session was also attended by the President of the Algerian People’s Democratic Republic Abdelmajid Tebboun.
The moderator of the discussion is political scientist, historian, presenter of Channel One Dmitry Simes.
“Vladimir Putin:
[…]
The introduction of the principles of careful, efficient production should gain momentum, not only in the basic sectors of the economy, but also in other sectors, in the social sphere. Here it is necessary to fully utilize the resource of the Federal Competence Center and expand its mandate.
Another key area of the supply economy concerns active automation and the development of artificial intelligence technologies.
In Russia, due to objective demographic processes, the supply on the labor market will be limited. In these conditions, it is extremely important for us to increase the pace of automation of mining, manufacturing, agriculture, transport and logistics, trade and many other areas.
Russia has not only huge potential here, but also effective solutions of its own. Just the other day, as part of our forum, the launch of KAMAZ unmanned trucks on the Neva federal highway took place. Unmanned Yandex taxis are already operating on the streets of Moscow. These are good, but so far isolated examples, and we need the mass introduction of such technologies.
Let me remind you that last November we discussed measures to stimulate the introduction and production of industrial robots in Russia. We agreed that the Government will approve the relevant federal draft by July 1. I ask you to strictly maintain this deadline: delay here is absolutely critical for our economy.
The next important question is what is called “data–based management”. This approach should be applied almost everywhere in the transport and communications system, medicine, education, government agencies, and so on.
We need to actively implement and use these developments, support the preparation of domestic software in the field of big data, launch projects in the field of artificial intelligence and, of course, strengthen information security, monitor data turnover so that they do not harm national security and the interests of our citizens. My colleagues and I have already agreed on concrete actions in this regard.
Unfortunately, there is also a lag here – you need to catch up with it and strictly adhere to the established plans in the future. We will hear the Government’s report on this direction in the near future.
I would like to add that we regularly review the implementation of new technological solutions in the Russian economy and hold an annual conference dedicated to artificial intelligence. And starting this year, we are launching a new special platform – the Forum of Future Technologies, where advanced areas of technological development will be discussed on an annual basis.
[…]
I repeat: we need to cover more and more industries and institutions, forming the techno–economy of the future – an economy with institutions operating on a qualitatively new technological basis.
The platform principle of data-based management is being actively implemented in the daily activities of the Russian Government and colleagues in the regions. In many areas of such work on the use of new principles of the digital state, we are among the undisputed world leaders, and this is a fact. We need to strengthen these positions and move on.
…
D. Simes:
Mr President, thank you very much for this impressive speech.[…]All this, of course, is very important, positive, and when I said “amazing” – amazing, Vladimir Vladimirovich, because all this is happening in the context of international tension, the conflict around Ukraine and the ongoing hostilities there. …”

Once again, many thanks Chernyshenko. Another very interesting, sourced comment. Much appreciated.
I’ve noticed that key players frequently have multiple identities registered in Companies House, the UK companies register. It’s easy to do, by using a different spelling of your name, home address or date of birth, but its tricking the system. It’s called a false non-match error and known as a synthetic identity, in IT terminology. Multiple (synthetic) identities conceal the interests held in the other identities from anyone looking at one identity. This corrupts audits and due diligence for anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing and is fraudulent. I’ve been complaining about their use to the Lords’, and Parliamentary, Commissioner for Standards (CFS), and the Judicial Appointment Commission, among others. You can read the result of investigations into 3 of my complaints by the Lord CFS here: https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/house-of-lords-commissioner-for-standards-/house-of-lords-commissioner-for-standards-/reports-on-complaints/ In each case I complained about 1) multiple identities and 2) failure to register interests in the Register of Interest. In each case, Martin Jelley QPM, the Lords CFS, has found that how the interests are registered in Companies House is outside his remit, for example, “I did not investigate the part of the complaint about how Baroness Smith had registered her roles with Companies House as this did not concern her parliamentary duties and activities and therefore fell outside my remit” and he only addressed the failure to register interests. Whilst Lord Fink has made adjustments to his Register of Interests as a result of my complaint, Baroness Smith and Lord Kennedy not only corrected their Register of Interests but have also instructed Companies House to remove their duplicate identities to enable the “clarity” required for transparency and accountability of having just one identity. This, however, introduces a further accountability problem because no record is kept of the existence of a duplicate identity, once it has been deleted. If you look at the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner’s Companies House registration today, you won’t find reference to the fact that she had three identities, one with a false date of birth, in November 2022. I complained about this and the fact that she had not registered any of her interests for the preceding ten years to the Police and Crime Panel. Querying how could they hold her to account and ensure transparency, their remit, when they themselves were not aware of her directorships? The deeper I look into the Police and Crime Commissioners the more I conclude that they are aptly named. With the Home Office, they have established inadequately supervised private companies to define the police’s digital strategy and procure it, placing the City of London Police Force (CoLP) at the heart of cybersecurity and investigating fraud. They (CoLP) deliver “Action Fraud”, the public reporting system, which is so restrictive (eg fields too short to accept Companies House references) as to make it impossible to provide sufficient detail to trigger investigation. I’m pushing the Judicial Appointments Commission to acquire a judicial judgement on the legality of multiple identities in Companies House. If a precedent is set that it is illegal and fraudulent and criminal charges are applied, then many key players advancing authoritarianism will be exposed for the fraudsters they are. I urge you to visit Companies House and explore the identities of our “leaders”, eg PM https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/search?q=Rishi+Sunak and AG https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/search?q=Victoria+Prentis.
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is Daniel Greenberg, he has an extensive website of his opinions and practice, https://www.danielgreenberg.co.uk/. He has written an interesting article on Parliamentary Democracy and Parliamentary Dictatorship https://www.danielgreenberg.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Parliamentary-Democracy-and-Parliamentary-Dictatorship-29-January-2023.pdf however, he fails to consider the imposition of a parliamentary dictatorship through the nefarious use of “Emergency Laws”. The situation, in my opinion, that we face today, ushered into place by people with multiple identities and divided loyalties.
You mention that Croatia has signed with UK company Verify 365 for digital identities. This company’s website states “2018 Verify 365, inspired by the Lawtech 365 brand, is registered as a business name.” (https://verify365.app/about-us/) However, that’s not the case, Verify 365 is not registered in Companies House, see https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/search/companies?q=Verify%20365. Lawtech 365 is registered and has as directors the same three people named on the Verify365 website, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13107185/officers. The person with significant control is Fahrudin KESIC, he has this directorship only associated to this identity, which states “Total number of appointments 1”, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/MyZqDNXVkdi3iNASYzOoYJhmd8Y/appointments. However, he has a second identity registered, with another 3 appointments, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/Tp1VUfMaeU-4VhsJSKsfzEgjGro/appointments, and he has a third identity with another 8 appointments https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/06KkWvcBlGLB07pVLWtu8IGDXns/appointments. None of these appointments are current, however, conflicts of interest are not time bound and these additional associations would not be considered by audits or due diligence of Lawtech 365, when they should be. Therefore the audits are corrupted and so Lawtech 365 is trading fraudulently. Any advice on how to test this theory would be welcome.
Thanks Alison for some informative comments well worth further exploration. Really appreciated.
