Brilliant synopsis. Thank you.

"And the overwhelming majority of people whose lives it will govern have no idea it’s happening."

Therein lies the real "problem:" abject, cultivated intellectual indolence, disinterested non-thinking, preoccupation with a constructed theatre, blindness and indifference to ruthless, murderous 'control'.

The real pandemic? An endemic of social narcosis that enables tyranny.

Yes, it is a techno-narcissistic narcosis, and as McLuhan prophesied: "The medium is the message." Cut off the electricity and the whole system collapses.

Could not have said it better myself... Best literature of this stack.

Thanks ESC. I will integrate this into my next blog post. Support cash economy. Secure your essentials non-financially, to whatever degree may still be possible.

Grow vegetables.

Ride a bike that can carry things.

Be a neighbor.

You may be able to have people in the system who you do something for pay you with goods or services (like renters of your real estate, assuming you will still be able to own). There will always be those unknowing about the dangers of the system who are in it.

Money of some sort is necessary. People's abilities and needs are so divergent. Economy as we know it is vast and pervasive now.

Village life without money is possible with hard work and good soil and rains, on a small scale, if tools are sturdy, and already in-hand.

It is probably more work-intensive than we could survive in, too.

Programmable CBDC tied to Digital ID is the word’s largest IT project(plural projects but with much similarities and even commonalities across implementations) by many orders of magnitude. It is being implemented at the national level and one can assume some ongoing level of integration and consolidation going forward, although the pace and configuration of such developments is impossible to predict. According to ChatGPT the implementation as of this date looks as follows:

😬 CBDC Fully implemented in Nigeria(2021), Jamaica(2022) and The Bahamas(2020)

😬Ongoing CBDC pilot projects or partially implemented: China, India, Russia, Turkey, Australia, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Iran

😬134 countries representing ~98% of global GDP are engaged in CBDC exploration, with “dozens” in advanced stages of pilot implementation and/or development

Having worked for a Fortune 500 company in the US aerospace industry for 32 years, there was never a large IT project(during my career) that didn’t fall somewhere on the spectrum between mitigated and unmitigated disaster. There were generally 2 big spanners in the works: 1)Failure to adequately understand and capture the Requirements and 2) Unrealistic scope. Both of these fatal flaws operated under the Law of Unintended Consequences to produce effects at the working level that were insoluble, resulting in asynchronous rework which exacerbated the original problems. This in turn caused the implementation schedule to drag on and turn into a feedback loop with harmonics that could never be solved, resulting in either the death of the project or a radical scaling back into something with no resemblance to the original

All of this genius FinTech, Social Tech and AI generated help may have produced a world in which the above painted scenario and The Law of Unintended/Unforeseen Consequences no longer applies, but I have my serious doubts about that. That we rarely hear about glitches and system level bugs(recent Thailand case is an exception) only adds to my suspicion. The ambition of the the Globalist Oligarchs and the Tech Bros is truly monumental, much akin to their egos. I suspect the spanners will have their day

good to see others realise, but sorry, i'm not going to pay for something i pointed out early 2024

LEON TSVASMAN's avatar

Who knows shouldn’t pay, but my framework is from early 2000-er.

Smoking gun(s), great work ESC!

We're not exactly comfortable are we... Little time left and they're moving so fast and effectively.

Then again, they would not have exposed themselves as much as they did with BIS IH Project COVID-1984 had they not had a clear and aggressive roadmap attempting to render Spaceship Earth's steering cockpit air- & watertight shortly thereafter.

An additional quick scan through the BIS "Green Swan" Carbon Communism conference materials should help clear things up for anyone with any lingering doubts :

Big fat ‘no’ from me.

The scenarios painted are dystopian.

At what point do people realise that if the majority does not comply it will not happen?

We are working quite hard in the U.K. to stop Digital ID. I hope we succeed….

I didn't know Jabba the Hutt wore glasses ^^ .. sorry but all these "bleeps" only inspire disgust in me and that's an understatement.

Well done again for dissecting all that!

By reviewing the points, I have a better understanding of the role of infrastructures like gaia-x (https://gaia-x.eu), of which the European Central Bank is a member, and the role of agentic AI (https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/agentic-ai)... It's a good trap !!

I don't understand why the bigger more powerful nations are willing to give up their sovereignty and go along with a system like this where the leaders, elected or not, lose all control. It is easy to imagine how an entire country could be sanctioned if the citizens as a whole don't comply. It would be interesting to find out what conditions China has implemented since they aren't required to meet the climate goals the western nations are, how they were able to tailor their restrictions to what the leaders of the country wanted and if all nations will have that privilege.

We the people must refuse to comply while at the same time build alternative systems to acquire basic necessities. Since we can't stop them from doing what they want, we can only control whether or not we choose to comply.

Twenty years on the Street taught me one thing: follow the plumbing, not the headlines. Everyone's arguing if this should be built. The real questions are who is building it, and who profits when it goes live. R3's Corda platform already powers the Swiss National Bank's conditional settlement pilots. XRP's been integrated into cross-border CBDC rails since 2018.

These are infrastructure monopolies being assembled while everyone watches the culture war. Once your purchasing behavior generates measurable compliance scores, those metrics become predictable cash flows. And Wall Street's been securitizing predictable cash flows since the 1970s. They're building Collateralized Behavior Obligations—where your "good citizen score" becomes the underlying asset in someone's bond portfolio. Mortgage-backed securities, meet morality-backed securities. The companies laying these pipes are getting paid either way.

Whether you're cheering this as "climate justice" or screaming about dystopia, R3, Ripple, and the digital identity vendors are cashing the same checks. My advice to the little guy trying to build capital: understand the game. The system's being built whether you like it or not. Those who see the rails being laid can position accordingly. Those who don't will wake up one day wondering why their card declined at checkout—and why their neighbor's worked just fine.

RICK. Brilliant. I love so much about this comment. Follow the plumbing not the headlines. Yes. Still for this little guy - i wonder the best moves to make...

Gold, XRP, vegie gardens, huge abs of steel, meth lab? Thoughts..

Thx. Awareness buys time, time buys options - until it doesn’t.

Every created system collapses at some point. When, how, and by whom are the determining factors ;)

Elliott Middleton's avatar

Do not comply!

Having a pig like Agustín Carstens make such statements is clearly part of the psyop.

inte23 ou Dam's's avatar

At this level I don't know if we can simply talk about psyops, it still seems to me to be well underway, technically speaking.

Elliott Middleton's avatar

Yes, I mean that they always have to rub it in your face.

inte23 ou Dam's's avatar

yes for sure, they win, they show them and soon they will put it elsewhere, you know what I mean ^^

All in the name of depopulation...do not be fooled as that is the final solution for these tyrannical clowns.

Thank you very much. This gives quite a good insight in a structured manner.
