Given the increased awareness to the control mechanisms of Western government, it is perhaps beneficial to review one of the key points that can be overlooked. [The Tweet was from December 2018]
In parts of Europe, we see grassroots pushback against the larger globalist agenda as carried out by various EU entities.
In Holland and Germany, we note significant pushback against the Build Back Batter (WEF) agenda by farmers, citizens who support them, and broadly middle class industrial workers. In France the ‘yellow vest’ movement was similarly organized at a grassroots level amid similar concerns.
Now, remember back to the “Canadian truckers protest” and the approach taken by the Canadian government. Notice how the government of Canada approached the issue of opposition to the COVID mandates by targeting the banking and finance system of the protest group.
Then, overlay how the U.S. banking system was the tip of the spear against gun sales, and the second amendment advocates along with retail gun sellers were targeted through the use of the financial system. Additionally, the Tea Party organizations were previously targeted through the use of the IRS, again financial targeting.
As you keep this in mind, overlay how resistant voices are targeted by the Big Tech systems through the process of demonetization. Further, all of the activist efforts, including DEI advocacy and including the organized Anti-Defamation League/Media Matters effort, involves financial targeting – in those examples through advertising. Again, financial targeting. The key point is that revenue in general, and banking/finance sectors specifically, are the preferred ‘Western’ attack vector.
♦ BIG PICTURE – CTH has outlined how the “Western government” sanctions against Russia were not really about shutting Russia out of the Western finance and banking system, but rather were targeted to build a financial wall to keep those inside the West controlled through the financial system.
It might seem like a small and yet obvious point, but as you get geographically closest to the epicenter of the Dollar-based financial system, it is the banking and finance sector that becomes the immediate preferred weapon. Similar ideological social pushback happening further away from U.S. dollar finance control (EU), does not illicit such an immediate jump to the financial weapon.
If you stand back and look at this dynamic, it becomes easier to see the motives and intentions of those who are building the financial wall around us.
No one in the grey zone is really getting locked out of anything; WE ARE GETTING LOCKED IN!
As you head back up to the wall, here’s the elevator question to plant the seed:
Good point Sundance. Didn’t think of that.
My work exactly!
I listened to this speech by Putin.
I watched him turn and address the cameras which were covering it.
“I want ordinary citizens of Western states to hear me, too.
They are now trying to convince you that all your difficulties are the result of some hostile actions of Russia. That from your wallet you need to pay for the fight against the mythical Russian threat.
It’s all a lie.
And the truth is that the problems faced by millions of people in the West are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites in the West. Their mistakes, myopia, and ambitions.
These elites are not thinking about how to improve the lives of their citizens. They are obsessed with their selfish interests and super profits.”
Is he right?
Without a doubt.
The enemy is not outside the gates.
It has the key in the lock and is turning it from the inside.
‘Go Galt’ would be one option….
Go gold
John Galt DID go gold, as well as other tactics.
they will make it illegal to own, Again. We will not vote our way out of this, they will not allow it. And the American citizen will put their mask back on and bend their knee to it. And the pope will be in ecstasy over it.
The Pope, Benedict XVI, died last year. The person who goes by the stage name of Francis is an anti-Pope. He has never been the Pope, not for a nanosecond. He is nothing but a freemasonic communist infiltrator whose mission it is to attempt to destroy the Catholic Church. Once you see that, his actions become very clear.
Yes, Betsy, and this is exactly where we find ourselves.
Sometimes it helps to walk out of the forest. Truths can come from unexpected sources.
From voices which our masters would rather be silenced and demonized.
We have to listen to them all; then discern, as best as we can, those truths…even if they show us things which are disturbing to admit and run completely counter to what we’ve always believed.
Time for me to re-read that little book again!

The FDA was established by creating a manufactured crises, that of “snake oil salesmen” that were allegedly peddling “patent medicines” that were A) not helping and B) were allegedly harming/killing people.
It immediately acted to capture Drs., by putting in place the “Dr.s Rx only” requirement on many medications.
And low and behold, what we have now is Drs, paid to peddle snake oil, and instead of “patent pending” to give the imprimature of legitimacy, we have “FDA approved and Dr. Rx.’d” to give a false sense of assurance, to this crap they are killing us with.
I may be wrong, but I thought the original purpose of the FDA had to do with labelling: to make sure that a product’s label refleced the real ingredients. And that was pretty much it.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Do you have a source for this Putin speech? I’d like to hear this for myself.
Here’s two different versions. I have no idea if the translations are correct. Maybe somebody can listen and verify it.

Youtube version is pretty accurate. Haven’t looked at the other one.
Thank you, Justice.
Thank you, Justice.
Given the expansive lies we’ve been fed for all of our lives, Putin’s series of speeches/articles on the Red Hope focusing on geopolitical, economic, wars and all aspects of govt that impact humanity, Putin’s message is Hope to the World will come through Russia. See redhope.ru for this series by Putin. The irony is the boogie man is speaking to us the way our govt ought to be speaking to us. I encourage folks to visit that website and read the articles. At least in the articles, Putin sees the evil forces seeking to destroy mankind. https://redhope.ru/
Archbishop Vigano delivered an address of hope and blessings to The Founding Congress of the International Movement of Russophiles.
Make of that what you will.
Beautiful.

I watched this one on the now regrettably long gone The Saker from, if I remember correctly, shortly after the Military Industrial Complex forced Putin to take the actions he did (threatening to admit Ukraine into NATO).
I see Justice has located the speech…
The Saker was a good one.
It was, furyus. I understand why he had to call it a day, but as time has gone on since he shut it down I miss it more and more because it is needed more and more.
Always thought Putin to be smart .
Whatever else may be said of him, he loves his country and her people.
And Betsy, this speech, coupled with the one given by his Secretary over two years ago at the UN outlining Russia’s goals in Ukraine, says it all.
The one given to the UN explains exactly why Russia hasn’t marched across Ukraine (they could have done so on day 1) and why they (the Uniparty, MSM, Pols, and pundits) try to censor everything outside the control of our fed government.
Reality aligns with Putin’s words and that is dangerous to those Western Oligarchs.
The most significant words in your reply, Horse…
“Reality aligns with Putin’s words…”
Exactly so. That is what reality…and hindsight… does.
I remember Putin’s saying early on that every contingency and decisions based on each one had been mapped out.
Unlike the war mongering cabal which is the (not “our”) government here which believes it is running this show but is constantly caught out on the back foot.
Putin is forward looking and strategic.
The MIC? Not so much.
I could be way off base here, but I have this odd feeling that Trump and Putin are kindred spirits as far as fighting against the elites’ globalization agenda. Maybe that is why Hillary was on board with the Russia collusion and Russian interference in the 2016 election narratives. Both Trump and Putin are threats to the advancement of Hillary and her ilk’s evil agenda. Is the narrative surrounding Putin propaganda? It’s hard to know the truth these days. Maybe I’m incredibly off-base.
I just washed and starched my collars in all my shirts. Ready for a good day’s work!!
The farmers were protesting against the global warming narrative and policies. The truckers were protesting about forced mandated clot shots..
It all ties together. It is one big WEF Great Reset Agenda to control the financial aspects of the Western World and control us with their “digital money”.
Much easier to barter food than trucking services?
If every Conservative went to their banks and withdrew their money in cash, the Banks would instantly be insolvent. Broke.
Problem is, every conservative cannot withdraw all of our money because the banks don’t keep enough cash on hand to accommodate all of us.
That’s simply repeating what happened in 1929 -1930 again 95 years later.
Take it out in chunks of money they work with. Every week they get a Brinks armored car to handle the big transactions! Get out of THEIR banking system. Think of Credit Unions!
You don’t have to take cash to transfer to a credit union. I did that 15 years ago. Seamlessly. never looked back – got better services, better rates, much lower fees. And my CR is based far away from my state, although they have two branches here in MD.
I have difficulty understanding why anyone banks at a “bank” rather than a CU.
I made the switch 25-30 years ago, never looked back.
IMHO a large number of Americans really do not know what a credit union offers them that they cannot get from a commercial bank. And you don’t see ads from CUs all over media ad internet like ads from commercial banks.
A credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative that is owned and controlled by its members. Credit unions provide banking services to their members, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, loans and credit cards. Because credit unions are member-owned and not-for-profit, they typically offer better interest rates and fees than traditional retail banks.
There are two primary types of credit unions: federal and state. Federal credit unions are regulated by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), while state credit unions are regulated by state governments. Federal credit unions must have a charter from the NCUA in order to operate, while state credit unions may operate under either a state or federal charter.
In addition to being operated by the state or federal government, credit unions can niche down even further by serving a specific population, such as military members, residents of a geographical area or employees of a certain business. Many people who work in a business or gov’t. entity with an associated credit union are already a member unless they were satisfied with their existing retail bank.
Credit unions operate (for member/customers) in a similar manner as banks. Deposits made by members are used to make loans to other members. The profits generated from these loans are then used to support credit union members, expand services and build $$ reserves. Because they are member-owned and not-for-profit, credit unions can generally offer higher interest rates on deposits and lower rates on loans than traditional banks. This is sometimes obscured when a large bank offers special deals that are actually financed by other areas of operations. I find the CU to be more consistent – across all services.
Are they guaranteed by the FDIC?
Yes.
For whatever that’s worth these days.
Exactly.
Yes
hmmmm.
I have placed (all) my financial savings in both a federal and a state credit union my entire life. The magnet in all of this is how the bank’s charter controls (bounds is a better word) its balance sheet.
I have also been invited to invest in a bank start-up (I elected not to).
I have not experienced anything untoward over the course of many decades. But I have friends with similar banking profiles who have. There is no absolute barrier that prevents membership to boards of directors by morally challenged people; there is no absolute barrier that prevents bad decision-making.
What was it some guy stated years ago? Trust but verify. Find out how easy that is (or not) to do with your banks. Take a gander who the rotating cast of bank presidents are over time. Determine if the public face of the bank understands what the security side is doing – you may be surprised. I was.
The point? There is no golden solution. Always evaluate your risk.
Credit Unions will have the same problems banks have when the sh*t hits the fan. They are controlled by banking laws.
You are right in the big picture.
But the immediate issue is how susceptible credit unions are to insolvency. By design, credit union risk should be lower. In theory, they aren’t using your and my savings/demand deposits as collateral for huge senior creditors at risky levels – the Great Taking argument (among others).
Got out of banks 25 years ago. Major reason?
Banks are required to invest OUR $$ in the “Community Re-investment act”.
Spent 5 long years living next to a Section 8 slum, and I was damned that
any of my money could be used to build yet more of them.
👍👍👍
Congratulations! Excellent reason to leave.
Did you then join a credit union?
Credit Unions may not be safe banks either. Canadian Credit Unions shut down the accounts of any truckers who banked with them during the trucker protest in Ottawa.
Know thy credit union! Research their history; check their ratings.
I cannot speak to Canadian CU’s. Probably come under different laws than American CUs.
I haven’t read of any CUs here screwing their members over politics, but I might have missed it.
All of them; banks, credit unions, S&Ls, brokerage houses, insurance companies, they are all regulated by the Feds, required to report to the Feds, controlled by the Feds, told what they must and must-not do by the Feds.
Relative risk.
Looking into placing your savings into a foreign bank with no branches in the US?
Ok. But there may be side requirements – e.g., owning property in said country. And what certainty exists that the banking laws in that country might not be changed (under foreign pressure) down the road? It’s sorta like owning gold bars which are stored in a foreign country the US can not reach into. You don”t have access for physical control either – at least in the short-run (i.e., an emergency).
TPTB hold most of the cards. Sets up a different set of priorities IMO. A New Deal as it were – to make the obvious joke!
Yes, I keep telling people to get out of the ‘too big to fail” banks asap and get out of debt. Sadly, few will listen to me.
hell, I have seen that happen at the bank I deal with on a regular business day.
The Fed will print more, the supply is endless.
I no longer keep money in the bank! It’s locked in MY safes! They can’t touch that! I keep a small amount to keep an account to cash my checks! I have a good chunk tucked away in gold and silver! Eff the banks! The :Legend of Wholly Swamp” applies to me!
I’m the same mold
Most of my money
Isn’t in any Bank
Just enough to keep things going.
I trust nobody but myself
But i like my credit union i dont want it to go out of business
Wise choice.
Pull your money from the market, it is the source of their power.
They already thought of that and put in place a countermeasure. Withdrawing $10,000 or more in cash requires the bank to file a report with the Feds – Financial Crimes Enforcement Unit (FinCEN). Also you are required to report that on a form to the IRS.
If it’s more than $10k I think they have to report it, but even less than that the bank can put you on a “watch” list as part of “know your customer” via “Suspicious Activity Reports”.
Kam, I hate to break it to you- banks by their current design, are “insolvent.’ They have very little cash on hand. Nor do they carry the cash to pay out to those who use their facilities. They are floating 1s and 0s on a computer-generated spreadsheet.
They don’t have enough cash to come close to liquidating to pay their customers. Not even close.
The general rule with banks is they can loan 90% more than their actual funds. Investing the money is how they generate income. In the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart explains to his customers who are panicking during a bank run that Bailey Savings and Loan invested the money in your neighbors’ houses and businesses. That’s why he doesn’t have all your cash on hand. Once people understand this they become more at ease. It’s a simple but accurate way of explaining how local banks work. The bigger banks invest in way more risky things like stocks, options, commodities, and CDOs.
Which will turn into The Great Taking, and the globalists may have created a monster that will also eat them alive. See The Great Taking by David Webb free pdf download.
Think of it this way, in each country where the globalists have gained some control, a different tact is taken. They are gauging response and learning, always learning, how better to control us.
Our job is refuse to cooperate at every level.
Odd that we are supposed to be getting a Deep Freeze coming out of the Arctic. I thought the WEF legislated against cold weather.
Is THAT it????
Doesn’t matter
It’s all the same evil game
And we must resist all of it
The Dutch farmers are protesting the forced sale of their farmland to the state – the state wants to decommission the land for farming and build multi-story apartment blocks for the illegals. Holland is the 3rd largest producer of food for world export. The Dutch state is mandating a reduction also of cow and steer thereby eliminating a huge protein source.
Who benefits most from “Euro-dollars?” (Dollars earned overseas not subject to US taxation so long as they remain overseas?)
https://files.stlouisfed.org/files/htdocs/publications/review/71/07/Principles_Jul1971.pdf
Kevin,
Great article to point out. Just think about how the euro dollar market has evolved so much more since Dr. Freidman published this in 1971.
The Eurodollar system, initially centered on offshore dollar deposits, has evolved significantly. Today, it encompasses a broader array of financial instruments and derivatives beyond traditional deposits. Derivatives, such as Eurodollar futures, interest rate swaps, options on Eurodollar futures, and other sophisticated financial products, have become integral components of the Eurodollar market.
The incorporation of derivatives has transformed the Eurodollar system into a more sophisticated and multifaceted ecosystem, fostering liquidity, providing risk management tools, and enabling market participants to navigate the complexities of global financial markets.
In essence, the evolution of the Eurodollar system from its origins in offshore dollar deposits to its integration of diverse derivatives reflects a more intricate and expansive framework that influences global financial liquidity and contributes significantly to the functioning of the modern financial landscape.
The fear of contagion and the amplification of risks by derivatives are significant concerns for central banks and financial regulators. The complexity and interconnectedness of financial markets, especially concerning derivatives, can magnify seemingly isolated issues into systemic risks that threaten global financial stability. Thus, the can is always kicked out of fear of the unknown.
The one thing I learned about the Eurodollar market back in the 1970s that has stuck with me is, there are no minimum reserve requirements for US financial institutions holding Eurolollars in their portfolios.
As long as they can create a derivative of a derivative there is really never is a true reserve backing the transaction. And we are even more exposed and distorted to generation loss as they move further away from the original financial product.
The original idea of derivatives was to limit risk, and their spread to every possible investment means they actually greatly increase systemic risk to the whole system.
Laugh, cry take your pick!
Conversely, in 2011, the euro was worth approximately $1.40. Today it is worth around $1.05…..???
Zooom! Ducks head
Desperation due to the “need to control due to fear” of being EXPOSED!
The banking / financial sector is directly employing ‘their’ weaponization.
Why?
Because of the fear of We the People realizing that our government is “owned” by them and We are pushing back.
Hence, the DIRECT attack!!
👀👀👀
By the Banksters out in the open.
The Banks can hurt us one at a time, but together the Banks could be stopped. Dead in their tracks.
I want my money and I want it now. Right now.
Zero sum game in that scenario. Everybody loses, including them.
They don’t intend on losing.
There will be those that choose to make that choice, one where they determine that they do not have to personally win, so long as the banks lose.
Just a different perspective.
Yes, part of economic war, and war in general, is sacrifice, suffering and death. If no one is willing to got to the mat, the enemy wins.
How’s it going so far?
We know what to do. The rest is overcoming our fear. What I do, in part, is watch some of the old war footage shot by combat cameramen showing the realities of fear and death. Reality. It’s a good lesson to see what my dad and uncles went through.
We’ve had it way to comfortable way too long. We’ve become soft. The evil among us likes that, and our fear. Witness the latest injections; domestic terrorism by Communist mercenaries, law enforcement taking a knee to them and ignoring us, and Covid.
More examples show up every day. The good news is there’s no shortage of discussion material for gentle readers to consume. 🙂
Bingo.
I hate when SD does this. I’m bad at pop quizzes. Because the WEF doesn’t control the European banks?
The Dutch aren’t locked into the dollar and have access to digital currency. They aren’t locked into their currency like we are. They have options.
Digital currency is NFG!
…Did you ever wonder why the Canadian Trucker protests were targeted through the banks, but the Dutch farmer protests were not?
“..as you get geographically closest to the epicenter of the Dollar-based financial system, it is the banking and finance sector that becomes the immediate preferred weapon. Similar ideological social pushback happening further away from U.S. dollar finance control (EU), does not illicit such an immediate jump to the financial weapon.”
The question is for people you might meet. SD provided the answer in the article.
Thanks. Need to slowdown and read and comprehend!

Best to diversify your bank money into small banks and credit unions. Maybe they are more resilient from government interference?
Here’s hoping. Buy gold and silver too.
stay away from PNC.
Credit Unions have been quite responsive and accountable.
Hubbs and I are working on my daddy’s estate and trust (hard job but my hubbs is a genius)
Banks are a pain in the butt, and their personnel are sub par.
Get your own bank! I have 2 and going to get another! Small banks are just as bad as large banks. Credit Unions are a helluva better bet! Best of all, my money is where I want it kept, accessible anytime! No one can touch it. Anchored to the floor, it would take a major move to move it! Two people would have trouble lifting it up without the anchors! They don’t call them safes for nothing!
First off, take care in such announcements, even here.
Second, while I fully support the inherent self-sufficiency (Insure YOURSELF as well!)
” whats IN your wallet” (bank) is important, as well.
As for me n mind, not confident in U.S. Dollars, and not crazy about prescious metals, so putting some of my savings in ammo; to use AS currency; its a great hedge against inflation and a logical alternative currency.
The primary purpose of currency is to address weakness’s inherent in bartering;
A) you have somethinh I want, but I have nothing YOU want.
B) You have something I want, a ‘big ticket item’ like car/house, and I can never make you enough shoes to barter.
THATS what currency is for, otherwise we would not HAVE it, it facillitates commerce, by extending it beyond straight bartering.
And in order to do that, currency needs to have;
-Universally recognised value.
-Difficult to counterfeit.
-Various denominations that can be combined to represent different incremental values.
-Enough in circulation to be practical AS a currency, without so much in circulation that it is devalued.
I believe Ammo WILL be recognised AS the ideal alternative, should hyper inflation make cash obsolete.
That you can USE your currency, to protect your currency, is just an added plus!
“different strokes for different folks”
I agree wholeheartedly with you on this. (which I find myself doing all the time.)
People should be a little more circumspect on these boards.
I think you just made the case to have gold and silver, too.
IMO, CU’s and small banks may be more responsive to customers but they still are bound to obey their unified chain of command through the banking regulators and their enforcers, which today means the Communist regime.
I worked on the board of a large state employee credit union for a decade and believe in the model and am still a member of that CU now some 54 years. However, I’m also cognizant of how the system controls them as well as other financial institutions.
Since Canada was mentioned, that was a great example of the system attacking individuals. It was also a great example of the reverse, and how a bank run stopped Commie Trudeau in his tracks because the banksters who own him saw the writing on the wall with that bank run.
Look, for general consumption, there’s no easy nor pleasant nor IMO peaceful way to defeat the Communists. It took many decades and military and economic war to defeat the Soviet Union. China improved on the Communist model and they’re still at it. The U.S. is the next step.
IMO, either learn to live under their regime or fight them. Make a choice. I made mine long ago. No peace.
Always be prepared to be locked out of access to your accounts. Keep silver one oz coins (Mexican) plus some currency as an emergency reserve.
Mexican silver coins are not as costly as gold and will spend just as well.
Why not silver eagles?
As far as metals – Silver Eagles would be better in the U.S.. Silver rounds (multiple U.S. mints) are less expensive (lower premium).
Current costs for 1 oz silver coins and rounds (Rnd):
Mex 32.29
US 28.79
Can 27.29
Rnd 24.89
I know some people who get copper rounds as well (lately have been running $1.39 for a 1 oz copper round, U.S. mint) due to budgetary constraints. Texas mint issues silver coins as well and they average about the same cost as silver eagles.
Ever since the mint started making pennies out of more zinc than copper I’ve been collecting 1981 and earlier pennies.
It’s just one penny at a time, but it is real copper, and one day my heavy bag-o-pennies may be worth more than throw away pennies found on the ground.
I remember in the very early 1980’s where it was suggested that pennies would be worth more than a penny in the future. I bought around a $1000 in pennies over the course of a few months.. A couple of years later I changed my.mind and decided to cash in my pennies.
I found out every $100 of pennies weighs around 70 lbs. I remember some of the bags breaking open in the bank and pennies were everywhere. I think Dutchman’s idea of buying ammo is better for barter.Another one of my genious ideas gone wrong.
Pray and help others
Interesting discussion on coins and PM’s, thanks.
If stocking ammo for use or barter, I suggest crates and spam cans for authenticity and secure storage. Buy common rifle and handgun calibers even if not shooting same. Don’t overlook shotgun rounds. Civilian ammo may not be available in crates/cans. However, military versions of the common calibers should be.
I would be cautious about bartering ammo since the currency can easily be used to kill one. Kinda hard to that with a silver coin. Know your barter partner.
Add food and toilet paper to the list.
You have to look at the bid/ask spread. If it comes down to it I suspect people will discount Mexico or other non-Eagle coins. Unless they have the ability to assay your offered rounds, they aren’t going to just accept them.
.999 pure PM is what you look for.
If you were to need new shoes during a lockdown, would you ask a seller if they have change for a gold bar? The smaller, the better, perhaps?
The gold bars are to start small independent local banks after the crash. Yes, the one ounce silvers will be good for day to day commerce. Lead will also be a desired commodity to guard the new banks and individuals silver.
One and ten ounce silver bullion bars are my preferred choice. Not the speshul premium-priced commemorative ones, just the plain vanilla ones with the producer’s stamp and purity on them. I see these as currency whenever that time comes.
We will need to develop a conversion chart for silver to brass/lead, to facilitate liquidity.
Gold is also used for storage of larger amounts in small physical space. For example, $50,000 would only be ~25 ounces – a touch over 1.5 lbs and able to be held in one hand as far as physical size. The equivalent in silver would be over 1,750 ounces, which is over 110 lbs.
The Czarina’s sewed gold coins into their slips to secretly transport them.
They sell the US coins in 20 coin tubes. That can be convenient. Or the 20×25 plastic box of 500.
I cant tell the difference between silver bars and tungsten, so i certainly wont take any mystery metal in trade
Agree, but I can instantly recognise Remington, etc. and so long as the potential reciever has the option of picking one round for testing, mutual TRUST can be assured.
Frankly, it really makes no sense to counterfeit ammunition, because if you have the brass, primers and bullets why wouldn’t you just make “the real thing?”
Trust is a challenge with any currency. If one is to handle PM’s, then employing time honored tests would seem prudent. Raw materials of less dense value and more common use may be easier to deal in.
When I closed my manufacturing/service business to protest the Covid op, I kept most of the inventory, parts and materials of essential use but relatively less dense in value. I also stockpiled new and reclaimed wood products that the business owned; essential construction materials and what puts them together. Such can also be bartered.
Glad to see folks discussing the alternative economy. Destroying the enemies of freedom and liberty won’t be easy. I expect a lot of suffering and death to be involved. another choice is to live as subjects of the regime. Lastly, one can escape, though I don’t really know where one might go. America was once such a place to escape to. No more.
Big bars for big stuff, 1 oz silver coins for medium stuff, and old silver quarters and dimes for small stuff.
One day it may come down to buying things with one silver dime.
.22, .223, 9mm., 12 G. individual shells up to cases.
In addition for larger purchases, ‘extra’ pistols and rifles that you purchase and hold AS items for barter.
Can buy anything from a candy bar, to a can of spam and twinkie, to a pair of boots or a car.
With that as a foundation, tobacco in sealed, long term storage, poppy seeds ditto, also chocolate and brand name whiskey, although not a lot.
In times of deprivation, small luxuries that give momentary respite, (chocolate and whiskey) are valuable commodities.
And, there will be those addicted to nicotine and opiates, who will sell you their souls, for a ‘hit’.
(Yes, poppy seeds yield poppies, and poppies yield Opium, and both as a pain killer, and an opiate for addicts,..it works).
Found in the bin… 🙁
That’s why something like the 1/10 gold eagle might have a place, buy probably silver is better.
Dear Sundance, you do such an amazing job of ferreting out the truth and exposing the not-so- obvious.
But, please forgive me, what is the answer to this question?
“…Did you ever wonder why the Canadian Trucker protests were targeted through the banks, but the Dutch farmer protests were not?”Does this mean it is (mostly) about controlling us via digital currency system?
Thank you again!
The EU is not controlled by the US banking system.. They still engage in other currencies

Here’s how it really looks from the outside looking at the USA. The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency.

And, just as their plans to dusrupt ME oil production (Color revolutions, ISIS, etc.) and Russian Oil Production (Euromaiden, Etc.) and to torpedo PDJT’s reelection (Mal raid, indictments, advancing RDS and,Nikki, etc ) have all FAILED, .their plan to institute CBDC’s is highly unlikely to succeed.
They actually have a pretty LOUSY track record, if you view it objectively. Its only their control of the narrative that has prevented such objective viewing.
Russians are in a big push to finish developing an entire fleet of massive nuclear-powered ice breaker ships. Apparently they are preparing for shipping the new arctic oil finds via the northern route to the rest of the World. It looks to them like the Black Sea, Suez options may close for some time. Just an observation what they are doing and America is not. Never forget Putin is an economist.
You got my attention with this one.
Not being snarky. I’m not a fan of CBDC either.
CBDC unlikely to succeed: for technical reasons? Behavioral reasons (consumers refuse to participate? Legal impediments (the social scorecard is challenged)? Alternatives? Electoral reasons (i.e., implemented and then, like the wall, torn down by others elected to do so)?
Thank you!
Again…
What about the Bank International Settlements (BIS) based in Switzerland?
Started in 1930’s, kept hush-hush for decades.
They say they are the Bank for Central Banks. But it appeared to be set up for secretly moving money from “Our Side” to rebuild Germany prior to WW2. To avoid such-like the exposure of million dollar transfers from NY to the Bolsheviks.
Throughout time of third reich and Ww2, day to day, folks from Usa, Britain, France, holland worked alongside the German-Nazi’s.
Why wouldn’t the financial control system of Anglo nations be tied in with Europe & Japan etc thru BIS?
Russia was cut off from SWIFT system, right?
Is there Central Bank still connected to BIS?
Why would BIS give Central Banker of Year Award to head of Philippines Central Bank last year? Are they going to test something on the population over there?
Who owns the BIS?
It is a sovereign, beyond reach of Swiss law. All BIS folks have absolute immunity lifetime, no borders for their travel.
Unfortunately, too many around us are hopelessly brainwashed. When my wife and I during the 2008 financial crisis had our “Apollo 13” moment, our own financial crisis on the verge of losing everything, we cut out every unnecessary expense, extinguished any debt we could and started living mean and lean. Cutting cable tv at the top of the list. Once you are unplugged you realize how much you’ve been gaslighted. Whenever I visit friends they always have their tv on. It’s like they’re addicted to it.
So, once “they” control the financial system of the West, how are they going to control the other 3/4 of the globe? And what if things spiral out of control in the West when people go hungry? This is when gov’s lose control historically. Is that why they are flooding our country with military aged illegals, possibly with orders from the UN and backing of this illegal regime to terrorize us? Things are looking pretty dicey for the country we call the US. I have a real bad feeling for 2024.
“as you get geographically closest to the epicenter of the Dollar-based financial system, it is the banking and finance sector that becomes the immediate preferred weapon. Similar ideological social pushback happening further away from U.S. dollar finance control (EU), does not illicit such an immediate jump to the financial weapon.”
Keep repeating it, Joshua.
And, never stop repeating his primary message;
Joshua 24:15 “...as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
The real story is that there was a RUN ON THE CANADIANS BANKS that required Trudeau to issue a Public Backtracking. It happened in less than 24 hours and did not get reported by the Canadian, nor Western Media. Naturally.
Holland knew exactly what happens when Real People get their money tampered with by Thieves and Thugs.
A run on the Banks means the Immediate End of the Banking System. Trudeau and his Canadian WEF cult didn’t take the Course in Money and Banking. After all, finger painting was so much easier.
Actually, I don’t think it was an actual run that triggered the 24 hr. retraction.
It was smarter, cooler heads above Truedope, seeing the potential exposure he was opening up, that ordered him to try to plug the hole, FAST.
They tolerate Trudeau and that Chrystia Freeland creature, while we tolerate Biden and that Kamala creature. We must all be nuts.
No, the ruling minority are nuts.
I trust the system is monitored in great detail in real time so what we who were closely following the convoy and their supporters saw as a response to the asset freeze apparently tracked in their system to sufficiently concern Trudeau’s handlers.
Economic warfare is a viable option and it goes far beyond a deposit demand. PDJT used economic warfare to prevent kinetic warfare and achieve foreign policy goals. We can learn from that.
What remains is how much of our comfortable life we’re willing to give up. How much of our ‘fortune’ we’re willing to commit to the cause of freedom and liberty. I made my choice. God gave us free will. Gentle readers will make their own choices.
If I remember right, the Declaration of Independence ends with these words: ……… Our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor.
That pretty much says it all, we can do no less.
Why should I stick my neck out to save a lazy bunch of blue haired mutants and tv zombies with their heads in the sand? I would do it for the children.
For over 40 years I’ve had a very simple collection of all things McDonald’s.
My collection mostly consists/consisted of what others would consider junk — not only all the Happy Meal toys, but the Happy Meal boxes, tray liners, paper cups (they used to change every Christmas), styrofoam clamshell containers, any kind of corporate literature put in the restuarants — I collected it all.
Sometimes I’d get gifts of nicer, bigger items, like the year my hubby bought a big Ronald McDonald head, one they used to blow up balloons, or another year when he bought me one single McDonald’s stock. It was (still is) a super cool looking piece of official, legal stock in McDonald’s, before they started printing them out and making them look cheap.
I’ve had that single stock in McDonald’s for almost 40 years and over that time it has split 2 times, meaning I now have 4 shares, but still only one in-hand stock.
For over 2 years now I’ve been slowly selling off my McDonald’s collection, so I found it interesting that on Friday I got a letter in the mail from McDonald’s asking if I’d like to sell my four shares. They have a deal going on where they’ll buy my stocks and charge a minimal fee to do so. They included that at the end of December each stock was valued at around $290, but, if I wanted to sell my stocks, I would get whatever the market price was when I turned my stock over to them.
I’d be happy to sell the stock, and I can keep the original piece of paper for the gift it was.
But I find it odd how they are asking for small stock holders to sell their stock, and then saying that we’ll get whatever we get at the time — no guarantees.
I have never been involved with the stock market, but feel like this may be a crash and burn — via McDonald’s — to get a bunch of their shares back for pennies on the dollar.
Not quite what Sundance is discussing here, but in a tiny, insignificant way, maybe it is.
You could sell 3 shares and still get almost $900 and keep the certificate with the 1 share. There is no negative ulterior motive,whether the stock is $270, $290 . JMO
Pray and help others
Often, companies try to get rid of small stock holders with offers like the one you received. It tidies their books; but also it may be a way for a planned low-dollar buy from an advanced investor.
For stocks like yours, I’d hold and hold and hold, just to see what will happen… and then pass the stock on to the next generation.
It’s expensive to keep those physical shares in their registry. They would rather just have their transfer agent deal with it online.
How can we navigate or break free from the ‘Constrictive Funnel’ that seems to corral dissenting voices and movements, steering them towards controlled outcomes?
What strategies or approaches might help us in the yellow zones maintain autonomy and diversify our paths, ensuring our collective voice and actions aren’t confined or directed towards predetermined spaces?
Some might suggest blockchain as an alternative to avoid these traps. Howeve, that system is ultimately dependent upon an electronic communication platform which can be absorbed and controlled by the vsry entities we are attempting to avoid.
Please share some ideas that are accessible by any person and resistant to control. Is it a commodity based economy that relies on battering?
Continue reading here, and especially the password protected threads, and many suggestion will present themselves, my fellow wolverine.
Hello, Joe. Have you heard of “Goldbacks”? Utah recognized Goldbacks as legal tender in 2019. According to the United Precious Metals Association (UPMA), each Goldback has detailed artwork and is crafted in increments of 1/1000th of an ounce of pure gold. There are several Goldback denominations currently ranging in value from $2.50 to $125 including a 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50. The Goldback denominations are inter-changeable, so one 50 Goldback can be exchanged for fifty 1s and visa- versa. They are about the size and weight of a regular dollar bill. Here is a link to the UPMA article and picture of a Goldback: https://upma.org/newsroom/2019/7/24/welcoming-the-utah-goldback
Although Goldbacks started as local currency in Utah, Wyoming now accepts them as tender and there is a bill in Idaho legislature to recognize Goldbacks as well. Beyond these western states, there is momentum growing to recognize gold and silver as legal tender (mostly as a mechanism for states to hedge risk on their pension fund liabilities.) The UPMA and other similar organizations are supporting and promoting Goldbacks nationwide because it would be a way to return to the gold standard but in a form of currency that is easy to trade in small units and not cumbersome (i.e. gold bars.) As of April 2023, 23 states have moved to recognize gold and silver as legal tender: https://www.investorsobserver.com/news/qm-news/5538391749687833
How will TPTB deal with their neighbors once they take everything from them?
Where will they hide if they piss off enough people. People that know how to use their hands and there heads.
In the End Game, where will they hide since every bunker on this planet is known by the workers that built them.
In the end, WHO will be the Morlachs,…and who the ELOYS?
“They” can refer to the latter or the former in the context within a sentence written in the English language.
Trudeau is a clot shotting weffer.
Farmers of the Netherlands are fighting for their livelyhoods
I have to think on this a lot further. …
.
I’m like kind of stupid economics-wise.Would you please explain:
Did you ever wonder why the Canadian Trucker protests were targeted through the banks, but the Dutch farmer protests were not?
.
Sigh…
I hate to say it, but I like Putin a whole lot better than our government right now.
I pray we can, with the Lord’s blessings, turn it around.
America needs a Come to Jesus meeting.
Putin certainly appears to love his country. America’s current leadership loving our country, I’m not so sure.
I am ABSOLUTELY sure they HATE our country, no doubt in my mind.
The hatreds shifted into overdrive with Hillary and Obama competing for attentions.
Solzhenitsyn said, “The Bolshevik’s were not Russians. They hated Russians.” The illegal occupational regime are not Americans. They hate America and Americans.
…Did you ever wonder why the Canadian Trucker protests were targeted through the banks, but the Dutch farmer protests were not?
Yes… I was wondering just this when watching the clips of the wonderful farmers’ protests in Germany this past week. Now I get it. I think.
I don’t know why Canadian truckers were targeted through banks, but Dutch farmers were not.
One possibility – The Dutch farmers control saleable commodities with more than one financial method that they can use to get paid for those commodities. Whereas, the truckers only controlled their trucks and had their entire possessions in banks?
Other possibilities – The Dutch farmers had more widespread support across The Netherlands and Europe by the middle class. Or, the Dutch farmers had larger family connections to people in power in elections. Or the Dutch farmers as a class were considerably richer and wielded more power through their wealth and property ownership.
.
Re your first point.
So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that if things are going to go financially kaflooey, then what you want to own are paid-off tangibles — real estate, hard assets. People who are not in the position of having to pay off debt that puts their assets at risk, or having to buy stuff (food, other commodities, the new roof on the house, etc.) are going to be in a better safer position. Is that right?
.
I like the way you describe what needs to be done. Get out of debt. Own real estate, hard assets, store food, water, and non-perishables. Keep cash on hand along with small 1 oz. silver coins in a home safe. Anything else?
interesting suggestions from Catherine Austin Fitts:
https://home.solari.com/financial-transaction-freedom-ftf/
That was a very informative
Video.
I scrolled down and checked out the other videos.
They were talking about digital coin.
It’s true they never tell us the actual form and function… apparently it really will be an implantable entity.
The intent to go digital is to destroy the banks and to get total control.
The dutch were under threat of losing their families generational farms. The government was going directly for total control. Skipping the
“slow “ and going straight to the “all at once”.
A wake up call that unified the people and they found their power.
You can never store enough. You need to grow, harvest and store your food when necessary. You need to produce your own water and safely dispose of your own waste when necessary. You need to have tools, materials and skills to maintain your possessions when necessary. You need to be able to protect yourself and loved ones with deadly force and quietly clean-up the mess afterward, when necessary. You need to be able to quickly reduce your life-style “footprint” to the above parameters when necessary. You MUST have faith.
As a general comment, not directed at anyone…
I get Treeper’s general consensus on taking the high road and doing the right thing but the reality is, when the Communists come for your stuff, they don’t care if you own it or it’s leveraged to the hilt. Their corrupt justice system will cook up a ‘reason’ and their enforcers will execute it, and you if you resist.
How many J6’ers have paid that price? How about PDJT and his well-known direct supporters? Ever read Three Felonies a Day? We could have a dedicated sticky Lawfare thread on that very topic and I would expect the volume of examples would be brisk.
What I implore gentle readers to do is examine *all* of their actions and discern if and how those actions explicitly or implicitly support the Communist regime. Getting out of one’s comfort zone is a tough battle. It’s far easier to get along to go along. How’s that working out?
I would suggest having the means to “guard”, or “protect”, your assets, would be a prudent idea.
Some 2A related items & knowing the use of them would likely be part of that “protection”.
Most 2A items are “assets” on their own, as well. If well taken care of/maintained in good working order, they tend to hold their value, and sometimes will actually increase in value.
🙂
Good Luck~!
and,
GOD Bless~!
Yup, I would say SOME who are ‘in debt’ MAY experience a short term benefit, like those who lived in houses for a year or so, without making any payments, or the renters under eviction moratoriums, but thats a short term gaming of the system.
Best bet is get OFF the Debt merry-go round, minimise your involvement in the interrealted INSURANCE merry-go-round, and move every day, in every way towards increasing self-sufficiency, and away from dependence on “the Grid”, ‘the Cord’, and the long, fragile supply chains that most depend on for the neccesities of life.
Nice summarization.
I have had this conversation with friends.
It usually ends with…”and when the hordes show up to take your stuff?”
Self defense can work…for a while.
When the social structure breaks down and the normal (let’s assume trustworthy) law enforcement agencies are no longer in place – the security picture becomes quite different.
One reason I find it polite (and in my self interest) to always ask “where do you see all of this headed?”
Get your money out of THEIR banks and put it in YOUR banks! Use a code to write the combination down! I use radio code. Ninety nine point nine % of thieves have no idea what that is!
Farmers are production. Financial transactions are larger but more infrequent. The bank exerts no immediate control over the process.
Truckers are distribution, and most were independent to some degree or other. Trucking entails almost daily financial transactions away from home, e.g., fuel, meals, tolls, repair and maintenance, etc. Preventing those ‘banking’ transactions puts a very quick halt to their actions, which in turn pressures the shippers to squeeze the drivers to give in.
You know what i’m wondering – Justin from Canada sure leveraged the banks and anything he could against the Truck drivers blocking the bridges and streets inside Canada….But then yesterday his Muslim citizens and fellow Canadians blocked and shut down the Avenue Road Bridge of Highway 401 in a predominantly Jewish residential neighborhood…..and the Canadian police bring the protestors coffee
Oh my!!! that is disgusting
Some protests are more peaceful than others …
There is no more indebted, overleveraged business than Banking. In fact, banking is more vulnerable than the corner store. That is PRECISELY the reason Trudeau retracted his fingers that he stuck into personal bank accounts. Canadian banks were starting to get a run on the banks – people were not going to wait for this PUNK/THUG to steal their money.
And Never, Never forget that banking (and Money) is founded 100% on faith. You must believe that those electronic digits you read on your computer screen is real money, and that paper you have in your wallet is going to be good, not just today, but tomorrow.
If “Western” Governments and Banks want to freeze accounts, then everyone needs to go down to their bank and withdraw their money. As every textbook will tell you and you soon enough will find out, the Bank doesn’t have your money.
I believe you got the answer. Trudeau move started a bank depositor Run in Alberta. That was a shot across the governments Bow. It would not have been long if he persisted the Freeze that Canadians would have realized the vault was empty. The Dutch government learned from Trudeau’s mistake and tried a different attack route. I’m sure they quickly learned that the Farm Food idea would not have worked also. The people would get angry quickly.
Hungry people can get pretty desperate! Four meals missed is pretty convincing!
I always wondered about the run on the banks, of course they were silent on that. Myself, I pulled all my money out (after paying bills in advance for three months), and converted the rest into silver. Our Canadian government is the lowest form of scum. His decision to freeze assets for small donations woke me the rest of the way up.
BUT that is just the first step. That money has to be converted to something with intrinsic value.
The paper USD is an I.O.U., protected by “the full faith and credit” of a bankrupt nation run by liars, grifters and thieves.
Convert your withdrawn USD into small-weight bullion, rural real estate, and barterable items made of brass/lead.
Brass and lead. Properly stored, ammo never loses its value, and can only go up.
My only caveat with ammo is to be cautious about barter partners. Unlike many other potential currencies, that one can easily be used to kill a person, namely the supplier. I still believe it’s a good alternative, though, and would suggest stocking commonly used calibers and/or the raw materials for them, even if one doesn’t personally use them.
Unless one purchases in person, with cash or barter, in a jurisdiction where transactions aren’t monitored and/or on the black market, expect to be tracked by the Communists.
Forex, where I lived most of my life, in California, there are now limits on purchase/importation and background checks involved on finished ammo, never mind massive restrictions on guns themselves. Compare that to the 1960’s when we kids could run down to the local sporting goods store, buy a rifle and some ammo for cash and haul it home on our bicycle. That was America for centuries. Not anymore. California has spread around the country. That’s how rapid the change has occurred, in historical terms.
I was reading this out loud and got all twisted up on “rural real estate”.
Anyway, I came across this today, thought folks might find it good food for thought:

A likely global control mechanism for the future
i guess these scum learned from trump.. fight your enemies financially. trump went after china and mexico using money. now the corrupt deep state is using it against us.
China?
Hmmm….in Canada, the government went after freedom of movement. In Holland, the government is going after freedom of food access. In Germany, the government is going after freedom of industry through lack of fossil fuels. In Italy, Meloni is pushing electric vehicles. It would seem that each western government is taking one piece of the WEF directive, and working from that aspect….????
Why? Why now?
People are even reporting that museums are empty.
https://www.christies.com/en/events/rothschild-masterpieces/what-is-on
The linked page about Rothchilds’ owned masterpieces being auctioned off shows another avenue of asset transportation. I doubt the proceeds will remain in cash for long, if at all. It’s another way for the elite to move their wealth around.
We can learn from that.
In the useful masterpiece realm, I watched a transferable M240 (that’s a machine gun still in current military use) go for nearly 600,000 dollars a couple months ago. If one has an LLC gun trust and type 3 FFL, transferring NFA items like that M240 can be pretty efficient.
A bonus is, if things go kinetic, unlike a bar of gold or fine oil on canvas, that M240 can be used to protect one’s or one’s family’s lives, as well as one’s other assets. In a collapsed society, would it retain its value? I doubt it. However, it would still serve as a useful tool in anarchy and chaos.
Rinse and repeat for other storage methods preserving asset wealth. The elites have been doing it for centuries. It works.
Just very interesting to see such a wealthy family give up the goodies they have owned for so many years! People buy and sell all the time, but, this feels different, and desperate?
One of our Treepers who in real life is an authority on art and antiquities could likely educate me greatly on this nuance. Forex, how brisk are Rothchilds’ owned art and antiquities sales and purchases? How does their movement compare to the market in general?
Are Rothchilds divesting real estate and other hard assets? What, if anything, are they buying?
As is usual, following the money can be quite educational. If not for your post I would’ve been ignorant of this particular nuance. It all matters. 🙂
The Dutch Farmers quickly organized to become a political force which Canadian truckers didn’t do.

we need to go back to real money that cant be counterfeited by the trillions on a whim
Someone please enlighten me. Why were the Canadian truckers targeted and the Dutch not?
Forgive me if it’s obvious, but my brain is lacking oxygen at the moment.
Cause the truckers were targeted by the US financial industries.. Too many currencies still in circulation in the EU so the WEF cannot hold the same knife to the throat of the EU
Not sure what you mean by “in circulation”? I suppose if you try hard you could get Swiss Francs or Brit Pounds, but real circulation will be in Euros. Of course, Netherlands gov’t has limited control over the Euro, it’s run by the ECB. And I suppose the ECB is dominated by Germany.
Money does apparently, so it’s been said…”Make the World Go Around”.
I gave a small donation to the the Freedom Convoy in Canada and then immediately got hacked and doxxed at my work at the time. I no longer donate to anything online as a result, and started collecting precious metals as a hedge. I knew about the possibility of de-banking as a former Journalist but never ever thought for one small $60 donation I would be in the crosshairs. I was half awake before that, I am fully awake now. Take that for what you will. I hope our government burns ro the ground, all our systems are demonstrably out of control. And no, I am no racist, mysoginist, homophone or any other label thrown my way. I am merely a suspicious realist who got lucky with my research and never let myself get clot shotted much to my parents bewilderment.
Thank you for your support. Patriotism is valuable not because it is easy, rather because it is hard 🙂
I never wondered What Sundance outlines
Now I think that
They are fencing in
Most of North America
Away from the world and turn it into a Prison of sorts.
You are correct about being “locked in.” The Bible prophecies of a trade war designed to close out the U.S., GB, and Israel. This trade block is already forming and it is why Germany is lax when it comes to sanctions on Russia. We see how China has made great strides in trading with the BRICS nations and already the American dollar is under attack and nations are beginning to trade in other currencies rather than the dollar, especially in the oil market. The world should be very concerned about Germany being, not allowed, but encouraged to completely rebuild its military. Europe is about to become a major economic and military power, a third super power and that does not bode well for the nations of the West.
I disagree. I think that Germany is de-industrializing due to the cost of energy and will not be able to rebuild its military. Other countries of NW Europe are in the same situation. The US made sure of that by destroying the Nordstream pipelines that gave Germany (and most of Europe) cheap natural gas to power its industry.
Yes, it was a huge FU from the USA, and its why I believe they will join the BRICS.
We will be a cashless society some time between now and the mid-point of this century. Bible prophecies are never wrong.
We should all be bartering already, then it won’t be such a shock when they cancel our available funds for noncompliance with the New World Order.
When that happens, Molon labe.
What is the answer to that question?
It’s a journey of discovery. I recall the parable about fish to be of some value. Since my family were farmers it was modified from fishing to farming.
I read the thread and understand the basics, if only a little. Hence, education continues. My dad, when I was young, opined ‘son, the more you know, the more you know how little you know‘. Was he ever right and the Treehouse reminds me of it daily. 🙂
Hummm…. it sounds like it might be time to put some money/securities in a brokerage house somewhere stable in the grey zone… Just a “RAINY DAY” account, nothing extreme.
There huge remittance flows from Western countries to Developing countries. Sizable companies – Western Union, Paypal – to new fintechs – Xoom until acquired but there are others – serve this growing market that is still growing.
And then there’s bitcoin etc.
So I am skeptical that the West can financially wall in their people, as much as I respect Sundance.
Look at Nigel Farage, Russel Brand, etc. being “de-banked” in the UK.
It is not just traditional banks either. Remember the Canadian truckers were blocked out of / money impounded by the new Internet-based Finance apps like Paypal, Go-Fund-Me, Amazon, etc. The economy is not really in a period of growth, there is only one segment of the economy doing well and only Seven giant internet-based businesses (the so-called FAANGs) who represented essentially all the stock market growth for the past few years. All the FAANG companies are deeply entwined in the new world of Big-Data Global Finance, social credit monitoring/enforcement and election manipulation.
One can also examine the actions of Trudeau fascists in the insurance, licensing, and mortgage/loan institutions. Insurance cancelled, loans called, OTR authority cancelled and plenty more I can’t remember the details of.
We got our own version with the U.S. convoy in 2022. However, few paid attention. Those of who did saw the Commies in action there too and their fascist partners in the private sector.
If the Communists target you or me, expect anything. I hope what PDJT and the J6’ers have gone through is enough example, though there are thousands more since it’s a big country.
…Did you ever wonder why the Canadian Trucker protests were targeted through the banks, but the Dutch farmer protests were not?
Ok, I’ll ask the question… The Netherlands is in the YELLOW zone. So why weren’t the banks used against the farmers?
No license plates on tractors.
Assumption 1 – TPTB want total control. It’s biblical good vs. evil.
Assumption 2 – To install the security state they needed 9/11.
Assumption 3 – To herd everyone into financial control, they need a crisis equivalent to 9/11.
Question 1- Is the EO or legislation already written?
The Great Taking author would argue that the legislation and purposeful constructed failures are already in effect amongst the yellow zone to transfer all the assets held in debt and any financial asset that you are the legal beneficiary, not the title holder. This makes sense, they have to strip everything of value to make you 100% dependent on digital fiat with digital IDs. The grey zone/BRICS is full on jujitsu/Art of War against us, not because they are the good guys but they want to be in charge of the totalitarian system. They are using our momentum against us while using the least amount of effort. They are in it to win it, up to the point they don’t get nuked.
Observation 1 – There is a strong signal for civil war, global war, or black swan event. Possibly all 3.0.
Observation 2 – There is a strong signal from anyone to the right of center to back away from this system and insulate themselves as best as possible. I think most rational people around me can see we are headed for a breakdown or collapse in the system, just no one knows how bad. Even the people coming over the border are thinking it, they don’t care, they’ll go back or export what wealth they make back home.
Question 2 – What and when will be the event?
Observation 3 – I see a consensus that it has to happen to disrupt Trump’s election or be dumped and blamed on him as soon as he takes office. This seems dangerously Trump-centric, there may be other factors equally or more important. I don’t understand enough about macro economics and supply scarcity to understand what that might be. It seems like China has it’s own economic problems that could force an invasion of Taiwan.
I think the trap has been set, and I suspect with AI’s help (read about Isreal’s Gospel and think how AI is being used in the financial system), it will happen faster then anyone would realize is possible. I think there are three battlefields, and the most important is the spiritual, and second is financial. Political and legal is tertiary. The culture war has to be fought, but grinding through that to win will take too long.
If you can make the people that are furthering global tyranny feel real pain they might back off. The problem is that that fight is asymmetric. We don’t control anything politically at the federal level, and state level is in disarray, while what we have in the House is weak. Even if we keep the House and Trump wins, we’ll have limited options. We don’t control the legal system, we can expect the SC to be very fickle. We don’t control the military. We don’t control the cultural centers, although we are beginning to make them feel pain. We definitely don’t control Wall Street or the Fed. We are really at the low point in a revolution, although not at the beginning, and to preserve the country we have to rapidly accomplish what took the communists 50 years.
At some point, before they collapse the economy and governance, through misfeasance or malfeasance, we need a decisive battle. A system destabilizing win.
The guillotine seems to be a great idea… sometimes the French come up with some truly astounding inventions.
“Similar ideological social pushback happening further away from U.S. dollar finance control (EU), does not illicit such an immediate jump to the financial weapon.”
S/B “elicit”:
https://www.roshreview.com/blog/whats-the-difference-between-elicit-illicit-and-solicit/
I thought the Dutch farmers were targeted via the fertilizer war. Win, lose or draw they couldn’t grow much. Planned famine could proceed as scheduled. The truckers, whether independents or freight company employees, on the other hand are a part of the credit system, using personal credit cards/debit cards for their operating expenses. Seizing/freezing their accounts prevented them from moving the supply chain. I see it as occupational knee capping.
This post hits close to home for me and I am grateful for your insight and understanding on this topic Keep doing what you do
