Thoughts 19-09-2020

What we are all witnessing today was planned eons ago using tried and tested models of governance, hiden powers that have served the powers that should not be, but are always there, nothing is new, we are always topped up prior to the excercise being extant.

Mask wearing is not new, in Japan they have been doing this due to their programming for many years, social distancing is also old technology, when we took hold of the mobile phone we became alone amongst the animals in so many ways and stopped talking to each other as human beings.

The last great reset came about in and around 660 Bc with the new age and a new monetrary paradigm, the old system gave way to tokens, shekles and the new modern slavery, and cere-money began in earnest.

The current reset is a reversal of the former age, and as Aquarius aproaches the spring and autumn equinox 2035 the monetary sytem will be replaced once again by the new world orders new form of slavery as Darwin once mentioned.

What has not changed is how we unwittingly exchange our labour for the new age tokens, this time it will be a truly imaginary entity that you cannot touch and feel in ones pocket, leaving only one kind of highway robber at the end of a computer keyboard.

Here we are old school and have grown up, evolved using both sides of their coin, for the new minds eye born they know no different and simply go with the flow, which if follwed precisely to its end will lead absolutely nowhere.

The single best way out of this is to choose now where and who you will exchange the only real entity in all of this, your labour, because here is where it is all at, because we are what we create, not what we consume.

WILL THE LOCKDOWN OUTLAST THE CORONAVIRUS?

“Political liberty is to be found only when there is no abuse of power. But constant experience shows us that every man who has power is inclined to abuse it; he goes until he finds limits.”
— Montesquieu, Spirit of the Laws, Book XI, Chapter 4
There is a popularly repeated regret that COVID-19 resulted in the shuttering of so many small businesses and in the loss by so many of jobs. This rumor is false. Coronavirus was not the disease that did such lasting damage to the economy of the United States; tyranny was.
Tyranny is a virus that once it develops in the body politic always spreads and infects all the members until the body is left lifeless or until the cure is deemed more traumatic than the disease itself.

After the arrival of the coronavirus, state legislators and governors across the union began issuing statutes and orders mandating that residents remain “quarantined” inside their homes and that businesses close up shop until the healthcare community could catch up to the predicted press of victims of the virus. This was the so-called “flattening of the curve.”
The curve was flattened, but the trajectory of tyranny was ever upward.
Quarantine is a word with a definition. Quarantine (curiously, a word originally describing the 40-day fast of Jesus in the desert) is: “A sanitary measure to prevent the spread of a contagious plague by isolating those believed or feared to be infected.” Only, the quarantine imposed by state and local authorities after the original outbreak of the coronavirus was not aimed at isolating the infected, but at assessing the limits of the people’s tolerance of tyranny. Sadly, the government seems not to have reached the bottom of that reservoir of obedience.
The abuses of life, liberty, and property committed by those entrusted to protect them were and are would be unbelievable were it not for the daily examples published around the world.
Nearly everyone has heard of the 28-year-old expectant mother in Australia who was arrested in front her children. Her crime? Here is the report filed by The Guardian:
Police arrested Ballarat resident Zoe Buhler after she created a “freedom day” event on Facebook encouraging people to protest against lockdowns in the regional town on Saturday.
She was arrested and charged under section 321G of the state’s Crimes Act 1958, which makes it an offence [sic] for a person to “pursue a course of conduct which will involve the commission of an offence”[sic].
The premier of the state of Victoria — the state where Ms. Buhler was arrested — announced that the police would be deployed to enforce the lockdown order. The premier — Daniel Andrews — described his plans to the press:
“There is literally no reason for you to leave your home and if you were to leave your home and not be found there, you will have a very difficult time convincing Victoria police that you have a lawful reason,” Mr Andrews told reporters in Melbourne.
He said 500 military personnel will be deployed to enforce the self-isolation orders, with fines of nearly A$5,000 (£2,700), for those breaching the rules. Repeat offenders will face a fine of up to A$20,000, he said.
Victoria’s police chief commissioner, Shane Patton, said officers had been forced to smash car windows to get some residents to comply with the restrictions.
This is the sort of autocratic regime that the emperors of Rome only dreamt of. When Caligula mused that he wished that all Romans had but one neck he knew that such a desire was beyond even his power to command.
Governors, legislators, and bureaucrats today seem intoxicated on their own ability to have their wishes treated as commands by millions of people. This is to be expected, for, as Montesquieu wrote, it is our sad experience that all men possessed of coercive authority will increase the circumference of their power until they run into some formidable resistance. Herein lies the duty of all those who love liberty: be the living limits of the tyrants’ push for power.
As of the writing of this report, some state lawmakers and governors have begun loosening the restrictions placed on businesses and individuals. Subsequently, there are many who are rejoicing in the return to “normal” activity. Even in this ebullient celebration, there is dangerous precedent.
Those who are grateful for the easing of regulations imposed as a supposed protection against the spread of the coronavirus miss the point. The point is that they should not be in a position where they depend on the “kindness” of politicians for their ability to leave their homes or open their businesses or take their children to a park or walk around without a mask on their faces or avoid their neighbors who have enlisted as “contact tracers,” tasked with identifying the infected or potentially infected. To wait for permission to pursue one’s happiness seems most un-American.


There is one governor — Kristi Noem of South Dakota — who has resisted the peer pressure to force her citizens into house arrest and, as a result, her state’s economy is likewise resisting the recession ruining the financial stability of her sister states. As reported by local media:
Initial unemployment claims in South Dakota have hit their lowest point since the effects of the pandemic first impacted the state’s economy back in March.
The state received 346 initial weekly claims for unemployment benefits last week, according to the Department of Labor’s latest job report. This is down over 200 from the previous week’s total of 585.
One wonders why other governors would not follow Noem’s policies of trusting her people to care for their own health in light of the impressive and unique economic success South Dakota is experiencing.
Perhaps the reason is that endowed with the realization of just how much power they wield, these politicians will not now part with it, particularly when they now have personal witness of the willingness of Americans to meekly submit to any autocratic decree, no matter how unscientific or unnecessary. We are approaching that situation described by Scottish philosopher Adam Ferguson: “Implicit submission to any leader, or the uncontrolled exercise of any power, even when it is intended to operate for the good of mankind, may frequently end in the subversion of legal establishments.”
The legal establishments subverted by the states’ responses to COVID-19 are the most fundamental to our system of government. It is now clear to the cadre of dictators that the living barrier to tyranny formerly formed by the people’s jealous love of their liberty has now eroded and the next crisis will be a welcome opportunity to push their power further toward absolutism.
Finally, Adam Ferguson warned that after the traditional legal establishments had been destroyed by despots, a military establishment would fill the vacuum of power. The first forms of the foundation of this new order are already being built. The governor of Hawaii, for example, has called on the National Guard to help retard the spread of the virus in his state. Even President Trump has promised that the armed forces at his command will be deployed to assist with the administering of a vaccine.
“You know it’s a massive job to give this vaccine,” Trump said in an interview broadcast in May on Fox Business Network. “Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year, we’re going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly.”
May we do as the Roman historian Livy suggested and “find for [ourselves] and [our] country both examples and warnings; fine things to take as models, base things, rotten through and through, to avoid.”

No mention however of the trials having to be stopped due to problems in the clinical or should I say the human guinea pig trials.

‘Testing mystery’ as cases confirmed in London fall – so why are they saying that London should be locked down?

Mystery was surrounding Covid-19 testing in London as figures showed a sharp drop in confirmed cases in the capital despite the belief the virus is spreading.
The number of cases fell from 2,335 in the seven days from September 4 to 10, to 1,699 in the period from September 11 to 17.
With medical and scientific chiefs warning that the virus is spreading fast, the number of positive cases would be expected to rise.

Boris Johnson’s new restrictions are destructive, senseless and may be indefinite. A freedom-loving nation? Don’t make me laugh

The UK prime minister has, in his infinite wisdom, decided to impose a raft of new restrictions to avoid another lockdown after the first one was such a resounding success. These measures are shameful.
I hope you all enjoyed those precious few weeks of semi-freedom. I, like all Britons, will look back on the summer of 2020 fondly. A time when we all dressed like dandy highwaymen to go shopping and surrendered our personal details to pub staff wearing visors and wielding thermometer pistols. We gathered in groups of seven, sometimes more, Rishi Sunak bought us all dinner, the Welsh re-opened the border, and millionaires knelt in empty stadia as sport returned to our screens. Shall we ever know such halcyon days again?
Not anytime soon, if our dear leader’s latest statement is anything to go by. Earlier today, Boris Johnson decided to relieve himself over the nation’s collective bonfire with the force of an authoritarian Grand National winner. His stable lads, Whitty and Vallance, had prepared the ground for him a day earlier, by publishing a graph designed purely to help people get through the last of their stockpiled bog roll. With the proviso that it “wasn’t a prediction”, they then proceeded to tell the nation that 49,000 people a day could be getting the dreaded ’rona by mid-October, if we didn’t do something drastic. Lo and behold, a day later something drastic has been done.

COVID-19: Does Sweden Have Herd Immunity?

Authored by Sabastian Rushworth MD

At the beginning of August I wrote an article about my experiences working as an emergency physician in Stockholm, Sweden during the covid pandemic. For those who are unaware, Sweden never went in to full lockdown. Instead, the country imposed a partial lockdown that was almost entirely voluntary. People with office jobs were recommended to work from home, and people in general were recommended to avoid public transport unless necessary. Those who were over 70 years old, or who had serious underlying conditions, were recommended to limit social contacts.

[b]The only forcible restriction imposed by the government from the start was a requirement that people not gather in groups of more than 50 at a time. After it became clear that covid was above all dangerous to people in nursing homes, an additional restriction was placed on nursing home visits. At no time has there been any requirement on people to wear face masks in public. Restaurants, cafés, hairdressers, and shops have stayed open throughout the pandemic. Pre-schools and schools for children up to the age of 16 have stayed open, while schools for children ages 16-19 switched to distance learning.[/b]
My personal experience is that people followed the voluntary restrictions pretty well at the beginning, but that they have become increasingly lax as time has gone on. As a personal example, my mother and my parents-in-law stayed locked up in their homes for the first six weeks or so of the pandemic. After that they couldn’t bear to be away from their grandchildren any longer.
In my earlier article in August, I mentioned that after an initial peak that lasted for a month or so, from March to April, visits to the Emergency Room due to covid had been declining continuously, and deaths in Sweden had dropped from over 100 a day at the peak in April, to around five per day in August.
At the point in August when I wrote that article, I hadn’t seen a single covid patient in over a month. I speculated that Sweden had developed herd immunity, since the huge and continuous drop was happening in spite of the fact that Sweden wasn’t really taking any serious measures to prevent spread of the infection.
So, how have things developed in the six weeks since that first article?
Well, as things stand now, I haven’t seen a single covid patient in the Emergency Room in over two and a half months. People have continued to become ever more relaxed in their behaviour, which is noticeable in increasing volumes in the Emergency Room. At the peak of the pandemic in April, I was seeing about half as many patients per shift as usual, probably because lots of people were afraid to go the ER for fear of catching covid. Now volumes are back to normal.
When I sit in the tube on the way to and from work, it is packed with people. Maybe one in a hundred people is choosing to wear a face mask in public. In Stockholm, life is largely back to normal. If you look at the front pages of the tabloids, on many days there isn’t a single mention of covid anywhere. As I write this (19th September 2020) the front pages of the two main tabloids have big spreads about arthritis and pensions. Apparently arthritis and pensions are currently more exciting than covid-19 in Sweden.
In spite of this relaxed attitude, the death rate has continued to drop. When I wrote the first article, I wrote that covid had killed under 6,000 people. How many people have died now, six weeks later? Actually, we’re still at under 6,000 deaths. On average, one to two people per day are dying of covid in Sweden at present, and that number continues to drop.
In the hospital where I work, there isn’t a single person currently being treated for covid. In fact, in the whole of Stockholm, a county with 2,4 million inhabitants, there are currently only 28 people being treated for covid in all the hospitals combined. At the peak, in April, that number was over 1,000. If 28 people are currently in hospital, out of 2,4 million who live in Stockholm, that means the odds of having a case of covid so severe that it requires in-hospital treatment are at the moment about one in 86,000.
Since March, the Emergency Room where I work has been divided in to a “covid” section and a “non-covid” section. Anyone with a fever, cough, or sore throat has ended up in the covid section, and we’ve been required to wear full personal protective equipment when interacting with patients in that section. Last Wednesday the hospital shut down the covid section. So few true cases of covid are coming through the Emergency Room that it no longer makes sense to have a separate section for covid.
What about the few formal restrictions that were imposed early in the pandemic? The restriction on visits to nursing homes is going to be lifted from October 1st. The older children, ages 16-19, who were engaging in distance learning during part of the spring, are now back in school, seeing each other and their teachers face to face. The Swedish public health authority has recommended that the government lift the restriction on gatherings from 50 people to 500 people.
When I wrote my first article, I engaged in speculation that the reason Sweden seemed to be developing herd immunity, in spite of the fact that only a minority had antibodies, was due to T-cells. Since I wrote that article, studies have appeared which support that argument. This is good, because T-cells tend to last longer than antibodies. In fact, studies of people who were infected with SARS-CoV-1 back in 2003 have found that they still have T-cells seventeen years after being infected. This suggests that immunity is long lasting, and probably explains why there have only been a handful of reported cases of re-infection with covid, even though the virus has spent the last nine months bouncing around the planet infecting many millions of people.
As to the handful of people who have been reported to have been re-infected. Almost all those cases have been completely asymptomatic. That is not a sign of waning immunity, as some claim. In fact it is the opposite. It shows that people develop a functioning immunity after the first infection, which allows them to fight off the second infection without ever developing any symptoms.
So, if Sweden already has herd immunity, what about other countries? How close are they to herd immunity? The places that have experienced a lot of covid infections, like England and Italy, have mortality curves that are very similar to Sweden’s, in spite of the fact that they went in to lockdown. My interpretation is that they went in to lockdown too late for it to have any noticeable impact on the spread of the disease. If that is the case, then they have likely also developed herd immunity by now. Which would make the ongoing lockdowns in those countries bizarre.
What about the vaccine? Will it arrive in time to make a difference? As I mentioned in my first article, lockdown only makes sense if you are willing to stay in lockdown until there is an effective vaccine. Otherwise you are merely postponing the inevitable. At the earliest, a vaccine will be widely available at some point in the middle of next year. How many governments are willing to keep their populations in lockdown until then? And what if the vaccine is only 30% effective? Or 50%? Will governments decide that is good enough for them to end lockdown? Or will they want to stay in lockdown until there is a vaccine that is at least 90% effective? How many years will that take?
So, to conclude: Covid is over in Sweden. We have herd immunity. Most likely, many other parts of the world do too, including England, Italy, and parts of the US, like New York.
And the countries that have successfully contained the spread of the disease, like Germany, Denmark, New Zealand, and Australia, are going to [b]have to stay in lockdown for at least another year, and possibly several years, if they don’t want to develop herd immunity the natural way.[/b]

What is evident after reading this post is, and asking the question, do the Swedish people have natural herd immunity, the answer is clearly yes they do, one often sees a mas immunization program taking shape just as herd immunity begins to take a hold of reality, once it is instituted it removes herd immunity instead of allowing it.

If herd immunity is not allowed to become extant naturally the virus simply waits until people begin interacting once again, interaction is the natural way to bring about that immunity.

The very policies that are being allowed to happen here in the Uk will play into two different hands,

1. The virus itself.

2. The vaccine manufacturers.

The latter is why they are trying to prevent the majority from interacting and contracting the sured cure, Herd Immunity, it is like a lady in waiting, and one desperate for a cure that is not really needed nor real.

This also has a knock on effect by destroying all compatition, which is classed as a corporate sin BTW, and why this policy of segragation is being allowed to happen to stop the natural cure in its tracks.

Take all the major design labels and food industry giants, they are gaining exponentially because of this, they know that most people have no disposable income left, other than debt from the same lines of engagement, the corporates are hoovering up everything in their path on a massive scale and wil be the only avenue left for us to obtain the bare minimum from the corporate shelves alone.

This is a plandemic and candle being burned from both sides and the result will be a perpetual conflict with the vaccine companies, who have already implanted their cure without our knowledge, via all immunization programs like the flu jab, where you can get on demand from any local pharmacy store today.

I really have to take my hat off to them, they have truly stung everyone with the sting in their tail and version of the cure, which will follow in numbers unabated, 20-21-22-23 and so on, just as the original version was administered by deception.


All that is left is to do is, either support each other or support the very entity that has subsumed us with perpetual fear, and in the immortal words of Bush Junior at his 911 speach, your either with us, or become a terrorist if you want to don't comply.

Belgian Doctors, Health Professionals Demand End To Lockdowns

Open letter from medical doctors and health professionals to all Belgian authorities and all Belgian media.
We, Belgian doctors and health professionals, wish to express our serious concern about the evolution of the situation in the recent months surrounding the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We call on politicians to be independently and critically informed in the decision-making process and in the compulsory implementation of corona-measures. We ask for an open debate, where all experts are represented without any form of censorship. After the initial panic surrounding covid-19, the objective facts now show a completely different picture – there is no medical justification for any emergency policy anymore.
The current crisis management has become totally disproportionate and causes more damage than it does any good.
We call for an end to all measures and ask for an immediate restoration of our normal democratic governance and legal structures and of all our civil liberties.
‘A cure must not be worse than the problem’ is a thesis that is more relevant than ever in the current situation. We note, however, that the collateral damage now being caused to the population will have a greater impact in the short and long term on all sections of the population than the number of people now being safeguarded from corona.
In our opinion, the current corona measures and the strict penalties for non-compliance with them are contrary to the values formulated by the Belgian Supreme Health Council, which, until recently, as the health authority, has always ensured quality medicine in our country: “Science – Expertise – Quality – Impartiality – Independence – Transparency”. 
We believe that the policy has introduced mandatory measures that are not sufficiently scientifically based, unilaterally directed, and that there is not enough space in the media for an open debate in which different views and opinions are heard. In addition, each municipality and province now has the authorisation to add its own measures, whether well-founded or not.
Moreover, the strict repressive policy on corona strongly contrasts with the government’s minimal policy when it comes to disease prevention, strengthening our own immune system through a healthy lifestyle, optimal care with attention for the individual and investment in care personnel.

Europe’s LOCKDOWN will kill more people worldwide than Covid-19 virus, German minister warns

Anti-coronavirus measures will have significantly more severe consequences than the disease itself, especially in developing countries, Germany’s Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development Gerd Muller warned.
The grim prognosis was made by the German official in an interview with the Handelsblatt daily. The pandemic has already triggered “one of the biggest” hunger and poverty crises across the world, Muller said – and further damage will be done thanks to the measures taken to battle it.

We expect an additional 400,000 deaths from malaria and HIV this year on the African continent alone, while half a million more will die from tuberculosis.

The situation stems from the fact that the West, and the EU in particular, has funneled its relief efforts into battling the coronavirus at home instead of helping the impoverished elsewhere. The Covid-19 pandemic has somewhat blinded the West, which has lost sight of the mounting problems in the rest of the world, Muller argued. 
“The supply of food and medication is no longer guaranteed,” he said. “Many of the West’s aid programs are not adequately funded.”

Will A Second COVID-19 Lockdown Coincide With A "No Deal" Brexit?

When I last posted an article about Brexit in May I discussed how the convergence of a possible world trade organisation scenario with the EU and the Covid-19 lockdown measures would serve to exacerbate the economic strain that the UK is currently being subjected to. I argued that as the devastation brought about by the self imposed lockdown became more profound, not only would a WTO Brexit compound matters but it would also put further downward pressure on sterling and prove a harbinger for a significant spike in inflation over the coming years.

Four months on and a number of developments have since occurred. As I predicted, the transition period was not extended, meaning it will come to an end on the 31st December 2020. Shortly afterwards a cabinet office document of ‘worst case scenarios‘ was revealed that detailed what may happen should a no deal Brexit coincide with a ‘second wave‘ of Covid-19. One possibility raised was how the government could decide to deploy the military on the streets of Britain in the event of public disorder.
Earlier this month, with trade negotiations floundering, Boris Johnson announced that if a deal cannot be agreed by October 15th the UK will walk away and revert to WTO tariffs. Following on from this was his latest intervention came just days ago when he unveiled renewed Covid-19 restrictions on the population after a rise in those testing positive for the virus, just as the final rounds of Brexit negotiations are due to begin.
One aspect to pick up on here is how when addressing the nation this week, Johnson made clear that he would be prepared to authorise using the military to ‘backfill when necessary‘ should the police require more support to enforce restrictions. Johnson also told the House of Commons that he had the option to ‘draw on military support where required to free up the police.’
Johnson’s official spokesman had this to say on the matter:

This would involve the military backfilling certain duties, such as office roles and guarding protected sites, so police officers can be out enforcing the virus response.
This is not about providing any additional powers to the military, or them replacing the police in enforcement roles, and they will not be handing out fines. It is about freeing up more police officers.

So here we have both Brexit and Covid-19 being talked about as potentially escalating to the stage where the military could be called upon under the guise of helping to maintain social order.
From my perspective here’s why I think this should be taken seriously:
Before the original lockdown was implemented on March 24th, I saw first hand in my role as a supermarket worker how the usual lucid nature of shoppers rapidly gave way to palpable fear and hysteria. After weeks of wall to wall coverage on Covid-19 in the media, the threat of a national lockdown began to enter the narrative. People responded by rushing to buy up food and medical supplies. As a consequence supply chains were severely impacted with shelves lying empty for weeks on end.
This demonstrated to me one inescapable fact. As much as people claim to distrust the mainstream media, what it actually showed was just how many continue to rely on outlets like Sky, the BBC and daily newspapers in guiding their perceptions. Their relentless messaging was undoubtedly a driving influence over the behaviour of people leading into the lockdown.
What I witnessed was how the threat of being deprived of essentials triggered within people a survival instinct. After weeks of preparatory propaganda, they knew what was coming and were inspired to act. The UK’s ceremonial exit from the EU on January 31st was now no longer part of the news agenda. Months of discord over Brexit was consigned to history.
But here’s the problem – the UK did not leave the European Union in any meaningful way on January 31st. Nothing materially changed in terms of the relationship. When those in support of Brexit declared on the morning of February 1st 2020 that the sky had not fallen in, they were at best being disingenuous.  This is primarily because the country remains a member of the single market and the customs union. The real point of exit, when the UK is due to vacate the institutions that make up the EU, is not set to happen until the end of 2020 when the transition period expires. 
The arrival of Covid-19 rendered Brexit an afterthought. But with the end of the transition period less than 100 days away, this is no longer the case. People are beginning to think about Brexit again.
My worry is that the public response to a likely no deal scenario will be met in a similar manner to how fears over a national lockdown were met. Boris Johnson’s deadline of October 15th for a trade deal, which coincides with a European Council meeting, is quickly approaching, as is the threat of a second lockdown.
If Johnson keeps to his word and the 15th passes without agreement, the UK will declare their intention to move onto WTO tariffs come January 1st 2021. That would leave exactly eleven weeks before this became a reality. Plenty of time for the media to begin a campaign of fear based propaganda – centred around stories of food and medicine shortages – and for the government to promote a nationwide communications programme urging people to prepare for potential disruption.
In truth it has already started. This week the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Michael Gove, warned that in a no deal scenario up to 7,000 port bound trucks looking to cross the channel could be delayed if hauliers do not have the requisite paperwork:

Irrespective of the outcome of negotiations between the UK and EU, traders will face new customs controls and processes. Simply put, if traders, both in the UK and EU, have not completed the right paperwork, their goods will be stopped when entering the EU and disruption will occur. It is essential that traders act now and get ready for new formalities.

With Christmas approaching, I suspect that warnings such as this will once again trigger within people the same fear that they felt back in March. There are already some signs, albeit isolated, of people starting to stockpile.
But unlike six months ago, the British public now have more than Covid-19 to consider. On the one hand you have people observing social distancing rules, which were not a requirement during the first bout of panic buying. On the other are increasing concerns that supermarkets may soon see an upsurge in customer demand off the back of a potential second lockdown, supply chain disruption following a no deal Brexit and the yearly onslaught of Christmas shopping.
It seems obvious to me that the media would portray a ‘second wave‘ of Covid-19 and a disorderly Brexit as a two pronged threat to the public.
You can probably tell where I am going with this. If a second lockdown is implemented, I suspect it would occur in the weeks leading up to Christmas. As fears would mount over access to supplies and people began to pile into supermarkets to stock up, warnings would be abound that because of the uptake in custom people are failing to social distance resulting in the spread of the virus, which in turn would create a rationale within the media for a second lockdown. A economically ruinous lockdown that would largely be blamed on Brexit. And, of course, running beneath Brexit is the narrative of a rise in nationalism and protectionism, which global planners have cited as dangers to the post World War Two ‘rules based global order.’
If you put aside any ideological bias you may have over Brexit, you begin to see how a chaotic separation from the EU is beneficial to global planners. This is something I have discussed in numerous articles over the past couple of years. Central bankers speak of the ‘post Brexit architecture‘ in terms of the the future make-up of the global economic system. Most recently the World Economic Forum launched their ‘Great Reset‘ initiative, which includes plans for a global economic reset that would likely encompass the recomposition of currencies, the introduction of central bank digital currency and a desire to replace ‘failed institutions, processes and rules with new ones that are better suited to current and future needs‘.
One of those institutions just happens to be the World Trade Organisation, which was earmarked for reform back in 2018. The WTO would play the leading role in a no deal Brexit outcome, and if it is shown as being not up to the job then this strengthens the hand of global planners to either remodel or replace it entirely.
As I have long argued, the most vulnerable aspect to Brexit is pound sterling, both in terms of its value and its role as a global reserve currency. Brexit can and I think will play a part in global planners attempting to reconstruct the economic system in their own image. In that sense it is why I believe they want Brexit to happen and in as disorderly a way as possible. Chaos is often advantageous to globalists, not detrimental. Especially when they have already laid out their solutions through Sustainable Development and the Great Reset. All they need is a sufficient number of crises in order to position themselves as the benefactors.
