Coming UK economic collapse and bailout will lead to a similar control system being put in place.

That’s exactly the point. The path to tyranny differs from nation to nation.

Good: You’ve cut straight to the bone by showing Ukraine as the prototype. The six control levers mapped here — certification, finance, digital ID, audits, data-sharing, procurement — lay out the architecture clearly. This isn’t theory; it’s already running.

Bad: Framing it as “humanitarian assistance” hides the trap. Citizens are groomed to see resistance as ungrateful, even treasonous, while oversight becomes permanent. That velvet glove masks the iron leash.

Ugly: If this blueprint scales through the UN Emergency Platform, sovereignty everywhere becomes theater. Nations reduced to franchises, citizens to QR codes with revocable privileges. Ukraine is not being rebuilt — it’s being repurposed into the first digital colony.

Likely you’ve come across the work of Stavroula Pabst, who’s findings echo your article above. Here’s her interview with Whitney Webb, incase it’s useful to anyone:

"The Ukrainian reconstruction, therefore, reveals the true purpose of international emergency powers: not temporary response, but permanent transformation of governance."

Anywhere, under any circumstances, by any means.

National "emergency powers" facilitating ongoing erosion of human rights.

"Medical emergency" powers morphing into medical fascism.

False existential crises, to justify limitations on personal autonomy, for the common good.

Manufactured economic necessity, to justify centralised economic control.

National and world security, to justify individual digital identity surveillance.

Mobility limitations, to restrict unwarranted travel costs.

Social credit scores to ensure we all do our part.

Will the XYZs abide by these rules too?

Just wondering.
