When they say the quiet part out loud, pay attention.
…”the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.” (LINK)
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a global financial mechanism located in Washington DC. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, “The IMF is an organization of 189 member countries that works to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth.” Put in succinct terms, the IMF is the financial control mechanism for western government.
When the IMF starts saying the Ukraine conflict “may” trigger a new world order of global economic and financial systems, we should pay attention, because behind those statements is a reality that no one has mentioned yet.
Think of it this way… If Russia was to just simply withdraw from Ukraine, do you think the western financial sanctions and multinational corporations would just reverse themselves? Of course not. What was never mentioned in the sanction package, pushed by NATO and western alliances, was the no retreat Rubicon they created. Removing Russia from the SWIFT financial exchange was/is irreversible; so too are the global banking sanctions triggered by political will.
What does that mean? It means from these moments forward something else, some other form of financial transaction process, is going to be needed for Russia and their allies to engage in commerce, banking and economic activity together. Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil and other nations are now in a position of being forced to create another mechanism for trade and commerce.
The petro-dollar may factually be dropped as a part of this. The issue is not ‘if’ it will happen, the issues are how and when they will happen. Vladimir Putin was pushed into this position by the western financial response, and don’t think for a moment that China and Russia are unhappy about it.
As noted in USA Money: In the longer term, [the IMF said]:
…”the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.” (LINK)
This is not a ‘losing scenario’ for Vladimir Putin. Independent payment networks, out of the influence or reach of the U.S. government, are something Putin would openly embrace. Indeed, the creation of that new financial system for transactions was the primary intent of the BRICS economic alliance.
Pay very close attention to anyone who would say “Putin has already lost”, or any iteration therein. Putin and Chairman Xi will embrace this new global financial system of independent mechanisms based on value that is separate from the U.S. dollar.
Regardless of the outcome in Ukraine, this situation within the international financial world is not a loss for Putin. Additionally, and not coincidentally, this new financial world order is also embraced by the domestic ideologues inside the United States who have long felt that our geopolitical power was grossly inflated by the economic value of our currency in the world of trade and finance.
Not only does President Putin and Chairman Xi welcome this new order, no one is smiling bigger than former President Obama and his ‘fundamental change’ crew.
THIS is the change they were hoping for.
A weakened dollar means the wealth behind the valuation is removed from unilateral U.S. benefit, and with that removal wealth spreads around the globe into the trade and payment networks that are based on non-dollar transactions.
All the players who look at the USA as an arrogant and entitled economic system, only made possible by the dollar as the reserve currency, will equally embrace a new financial system.
Klaus Schwab and the WEF/Davos crowd will look happily at a western financial system valued on the currency of a collaboration of nations similar in value to how the Euro was established.
The central bankers in the EU, the IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO will all work on this new fragmented financial system. Perhaps the underlying currency will be digital, which aligns with the need for a western styled digital identity.
This is a direct outcome of the DC political system, NATO, western government and the multinational corporations all aligning to take advantage of the crisis that Ukraine presents.
The new financial mechanisms will likely line up with the Build Back Better program of clean energy and carbon trading. All of the systems merge together into one unified western valued global financial system.
It’s stunning how no one in Washington DC is seemingly against this outcome. It’s almost as if they realize, in the biggest of big pictures, the scale of the U.S. debt and deficit is so large that a massive reset is needed. [Insert Captain Obvious Here]
Regardless of the Ukraine outcome, Putin, Xi, Obama and Klaus Schwab have already won. The only real losers are American citizens, many of whom were duped into putting Ukraine flags in their social media avatars without thinking about the longer-term consequences.
I am of the mind right now to go up to people who are so entrenched in their support for the Ukraine narrative and ask them to remember this exact moment of their advocacy. Please remember this exact moment, because when the inevitable consequences surface – I demand some reference point so you will feel the scale of your participation in your own demise. Something like that.
It might be rather snarky, but I would like something similar to that ‘wait, what’ moment when they hear the sound of the latch click on cattle car with them in it, and then they think… Oh, shit, what have I done?
It’s too late knucklehead, now that we’re on the ride, we ain’t getting out until the ride’s over. Enjoy reading this morning’s article about your hero Zelenskyy living the high life in the Mediterranean somewhere, while knocking back beers with a crew of Russian billionaires.
The US used to be a safe place to put your money due to rule of law.
The US and other western nations went Rouge confiscating assets just because they were Russian.
Western nations now pose political risk that prior did not exist.
Now suppose you are Saudi Arabia or UAE? There are over 100 billionaires between the two countries. They have to be looking at this very nervously. When is it their turn to be signaled out and confiscated? Cancel culture moves form persons and corps to countries.
Saudi Arabia and other OPEC producers have to act to protect themselves from Western whims and aggressions. It is a matter of survival.
Without a doubt Bert! That card can only be played once. We saw it with people in Canada, and now with Russia and anyone with a Russian surname/passport/accent.
The Saudi’s are in the club I believe .
George Soros is licking his chops. He broke the BoE and now he is going to break the Federal Reserve.
All because of a stolen election!!! FJB and those that got him a seat at President Trump’s Peoples Desk!
This is not going to be popular here but I’ll say it anyways. No this is not because of a stolen election. It’s because Trump refused to cross the rubicon. If he knew and did nothing he was weak, if he didn’t know, you make the assessment.
Grow food my friend, you’re gonna need it.
R.I.P. Rich Higgins – The Memo
Can you elaborate? Is Rich Higgins really dead?
Yes, they are complete morons. When are we going to get rid of them?
Interesting, aren’t those the colors listed in Revelation 6:17. I often tried to figure out what country or countries they represented. Is that supposed to be the WEF flag? The Satanic flag?
This was the intent of the war all along.
The war presents an “opportunity”… an “opportunity” that Plandemicists couldn’t quite cash in on.
Allow me to ” circle back ” ……..
Henry Kissinger told the club of the need for a ” PARALLEL ENTERPRISE ” in a post Covid world order. — Wall St Journal April 3 , 2020.
they tell you in advance
Nah, that’s all a conspiracy theory, I heard Rush Limbaugh say so when he was still around. CFR? Bilderberger? Club of Rome? WEF? Davos? MacKinder World Island? Pan Eurasian Super State? Only crazy people believe in all of that. That’s just rich folks getting together for fun. That’s just NGO’s trying to help the third world. Russia and China in an alliance? No way. Everybody knows that they hate each other. Henry Kissinger assured us that it was so.
I will say that the controlled resistance of Limbaugh, Hannity, Levine, Faux News, et al did and do a great job in lulling us into a stupor. We bought it hook, line, and sinker. We were lazy and did not fight back hard enough. Now we will pay for our laziness.
Well put. Some are / were controlled , some just simply are TOLD ” you wont talk about XYZ ”
nothing gets on TV / MSM without permission.
This is why they have already gamed out ” cyber-polygon ” , a cyber pandemic to shut down interweb speech
If anyone thought Rush was being straight with his audience with his brilliant sarcastic mocking of the globalist organizations then they really didn’t understand his sarcasm. He was dead serious about the potential harm those groups could cause. His sarcasm made me look all of them up on the internet to understand what they were all about.
Sarcasm just doesn’t work as well, when you have to tell the listener that you are being sarcastic.
/S……
It works well if your listeners know you.
Rush OFTEN repeated his frustration that his comments that were intended to be humorous (sarcastic) were OFTEN taken out of context by people who, if questioned, admitted that they did not listen to Rush regularly.
While there may be some valid criticism of his style, he attracted 20+ million listeners and the data showed an amazing consistency week after week, year after year. So, believing he was usually talking to “family,” he sometimes tended to use sarcasm in his remarks about some person or event or policy etc. of which he did not approve.
One can employ sarcasm and word their remarks to imply things that their friends and family knows they’ve said in the past, or knows what they are implying. That’s because they know the person’s general attitude towards that person or political policy.
The catch with Rush was always – only those who have listened intently for a long time would most likely catch his sarcasm when he used it.
Bingo!!!
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Well over half the world’s population. Three nuclear powers. What percent of the world’s resources do they control in their own countries (Russia, Brazil, SA) or via purchases in sub-Sahara Africa (China)?
This won’t end well for the US dollar or anyone holding it or depending on it for income.
Pennies on the dollar.
Invest in wheelbarrows.
Dollars? That would be Wall St, and the Wankers of London’s financial district. Where’s the popcorn?
Yep. I’ll be sure to mention that to I stand with Ukraine crowd. They will wonder years down the road how things got so bad so fast.
In before someone says that Special Drawing Rights (SDR’s) are a solution to this issue.
Giving more economic control to an unelected body, ala agencies of the UN is not going to serve our interests or much of anyone’s who is not in the big club.
You mean unelected private banks like the Federal Reserve? Looking out for the 1% since 1914.
If there was political will, that could have been dealt with long before giving away the “house”.
Our own government has long sold us out. That power to create legal tender needs to return to the Treasury.
Sanity might return to economic policy. But not before the petro-dollar implodes and the Federal Government is downsized one way or another.
Damn
So, maybe INSTEAD of economic sanctions we should have just “Bombed the -stuff – out of them” (the Russians) from the get-go!
Why would we do that? The fire would be returned onto the US soil. Do you think?
The correct action would have been… do nothing. Do not send politicians’ children into a foreign country to set up Dept of State slush funds. Do not fund military bio labs in Ukraine. Do not advance NATO into Ukraine. Do not goad Russia into attacking. Do not terminate all financial connections over a skirmish half a world away.
It’s NOT OUR FIGHT.
You are right Sundance.
We lost.
At least this battle…..
But the war is not over.
I am also spittin nails.
The war is not over?
WHO will lead us to glorious victory?
What I see, as I gaze down at my coffee and milk is-
more stolen elections
more installed dunce reprobates producing legislative outcomes that favor corporatist interests
no more american middle class
the vast majority of us, if we’re lucky, living in soviet era style flats.
there will be no strong rule of law to protect law abiding individuals
welcome to the jungle
you’re on your own!
The American Middle/Working Class was the biggest plank in the foundation that built the USA into a strong nation. A plank that was exploited by Politicians and Financiers to destroy the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar and to inflate Paper “assets” solely for their personal gain(s).
Now this corrupt American power has burned itself out.
To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt.
“Speak Loudly and Carry a Rotten Stick.”
You’re wrong, it is over. What can you do to change it?
One day soon you will wake up and dollars and coins won’t exist anymore. It will be a chip in your arm. Said chip will have everything you ever did, everything you are, both physically, and mentally.
Want a can of Coke? We’re sorry sir. Your bio metric reading for today shows your blood sugar level to be to high. Water only for the next 3 days and we will reevaluate.
Someone knocking at your door? Good evening sir, we noticed your chip was displaying heightened blood pressure, can you come with us? Blood pressure at that level indicates you may be a harm to yourself, or others.
So on and so forth.A boot on your face FOREVER. The only way we win, is to execute them all.
A big job – but somebody has to do it.
Et in Arcadia ego…
Revelations 18
Yep. Before our very eyes. Revelation 18.
Take heart because it’s followed by Revelation 19:
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
but you left off the thundering hooves of white war horses coming to kick a$$
Amen, hallelujah!
friendly reminder, there’s no S on the end
Naw Im looking at Revelation 3 and4
3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently,I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
4:( an open door in heaven?
Who opens what no one can shut?) And the voice I had first heard (1:10)like a trumpet( the last trumpet?) said “Come up here and I will show you what MUST take place AFTER this….
The 24 ELDERS(represents the church!!!) is represented in heaven? How’d they get there?
By the call to “come up here.
The stage is obviously being set… not the” great reset” but the great set up!
God has declared the end from the beginning .
Believe Him! He’s got this.
Things to buy with US dollar instead of waiting for its value to crash.
Add to your list
several different means for purifying water.
Bug out pack, one for each family member.
Solar chargers.
Stun flashlights.
Ferro rod.
Emergency radio.
Or, Just get your Commie clot shot every month and it’s easy street…
Never!
I will take my chances without it and not enslave myself because of it.
I’d add a good dual fuel generator as well, and as much fuel as possible.
Add to your list:
a good bicycle for each member of the family
spare tire tubes
manual bicycle pump
bright solar garden lights (can be brought in each evening for light)
sleeping bags rated for the coldest nights in your geographic location
Good idea on solar lights and sleeping bags. Also they might shut off the power, so the freezer may become inoperable.
Manual anything!
If we end up without any power it would be hard for me to be without music.
Realizing what might be coming a year ago, I started buying little music boxes, the wind-up kind.
Last weekend we went to an estate sale and bought a Traveling Preacher’s Organ, a tiny foot-pump organ that folds up to be the size of a large suitcase.
Don’t know how to play piano, and realize it’ll take a little training to work my feet and my hands at the same time (like driving a stick), but I figure when it is quiet I can learn to play a song or two, and bring music into our home.
Excellent list. One caveat – maybe untreated popcorn doesn’t go bad, but microwave popcorn definitely does.
I ate some of a bag recently, before realizing it tasted weirdly extra salty – and shortly found myself hurling for the first time in several decades.
It will be a long time before I eat popcorn at all again – and if I dare, I’ll need a stovetop popper of some sort…
Just get medium size pot with lid. Add oil to bottom of pan enough to cover. Add popcorn kernels enough for single layer on bottom of pan. Cover pot with lid. Cook over medium heat until popcorn is done popping. The pops lessen when done but do not over cook. Popcorn will burn.
This is how we did it in the good old days!
sorry, did not mean to take your thunder
Yes, just the plain kernels. But it’s cheap to stock
The microwave popcorn has embedded oils, which go rancid. Plain dry popcorn doesn’t really change. I just popped some that had been in a canning jar for almost 20 years, and it was as if it were new.
By the way, you don’t have to spend a fortune for microwave popcorn. Put the plain kernals into a paper lunch sack, fold the top and staple it, and it works precisely the same. The flavored oils in the purchased stuff are there only for flavor.
staples in a microwave – won’t that cause sparks?
Evidently, wine goes bad too then.
Also… check out the WhirleyPop popcorn maker with the crank handle.
Wine turns to vinegar, but Port — wine with a little heavy liquor in it — lasts forever and only gets better with time.
cover bottom of pan in olive oil, popcorn to cover oil, lid, couple shakes on stovetop. done
Cast Iron pan, some type of fat, regular natural popcorn and shake it over a fire grill. Works great but might have some jumping out of the pan if you put too many kernels in. 🙂
alcohol and peroxide
remember that liquor can be used as a disinfectant and molotov cocktails
dehydrated foods last years
Prague powder. A little bit goes a long way.
Both Prague 1 for short term, less than 39 days processing and Prague 2 for long term curing.
Also, do whatever you can to improve/maintain your health. For many people, myself included, that means losing weight and exercising.
You will lose weight as food becomes scarce.
The way things are shaping up, I’m not sure losing weight is going to be difficult.
I started fasting a few years ago for my autoimmune disorders. 24 hours at first, then gradually increasing to several days at a time. I’ve learned that we can go without food for extended periods just like our ancestors did and be none the worse for wear. I eat clean and prepare most of my food at home. I see a functional medicine doctor who helps me manage my condition without prescription drugs. I spent my career in intensive care and I don’t want any of those pharmaceutical poisons pumped into my body if I can help it.
I could never have imagined that the measures I took for my health and well being were actually preparing me for real hardship and possible famine in the near future. I’m not afraid of what’s to come and I have the supplies I need to sustain me. Thanks to Sundance and many Treepers much wiser than myself for all the preparation and support over the years, as well. Our Lord will see us through this in the end.
Chlorine dioxide — used every day to kill all kinds of things that harm us — had been used to treat every kind of illness since it was discovered in 1814 in France.
Right before the plandemic started the media came out and did to Chlorine dioxide what they did to Hydroxichloroquine a few months later — saying that it is dangerous and will kill you.
Well, if you drink too much water it will kill you, too.
If you use many everyday “safe” things too much they will kill you.
But, Chlorine dioxide is still being used by doctors all over South America, and has saved severe case covid patients when Ivermectin could do nothing for them.
Just another possibility of things that might help us all when we are on our own.
Well said but the way things are going #10 should be #1.
Space blankets. Pantyhose keep you warm under clothes and they can be used to strain liquids. Tarps. Multiple manual can openers. Hard candy/gum. *Buy Primatene Mist in case your prescription rescue inhaler can’t get refilled-it’s better than nothing.
This is what happens when U.S stability is debased.
If the Dollar Reserve Currency status is eviscerated, then that is an overnight 30% loss in value.
The “new” basket currency from China, Russia, Brazil, etc, is only valid while their currency is stable. China is in a financial meltdown, as is Russia. There is no stability.
The only way to retain Dollar stability is for the November elections to wrest power from the Democrats in both House and Senate. That is only a stopgap measure until 2024. Whoever runs in 2024 in the Republican ticket, holds the world economic stability in their hands.
If people enjoy chaos, war, famine, energy poverty, inflation, unemployment, etc, then keep the status quo. Otherwise, look to a Constitutional Conservative who places America First. The US Chamber of Commerce and the Dem party are lingering enemies. As are the war mongering neocons, Pharma, MSM, Twatter, Fakebook, etc.
This is a precarious situation. If the US Dollar loses Reserve Status, US Debt isn’t reigned in, and the censorious Media brought to heel, get ready for Venezuela 2.0 and Zimbabwe style inflation.
This. We may not want this battle but it is happening anyhow, sooner than later.
No one trusts the US any more, as no one trusts Russia or China or any other country. No country has moral authority now. And fiat currencies are only as good as the trust underlying them. Gone.
China is in a property meltdown right now, Russia is losing population and has its own debts, the US is awash in debt, and no other country can fill the void including the EU.
If the US goes, so goes the world. It will be horrible and we might have Weimar style inflation. Many may go hungry, many will go bankrupt, and life will not be easy. But, China and Russia and the EU are not immune. Global systems bring global problems.
The US market takes a huge percentage of China’s exports. When we can no longer afford to import China’s crap, what happens to China? Same with Russia, when the EU and US and China can no longer afford to buy their oil, what happens to them? Sucks to be us and them. We saw a bit of that when Trump imposed tariffs. The Chinese came to heel pretty fast.
Long story short, if life sucks for us it’s going to be at least as bad if not worse everywhere else.
This all could be avoided if we had same, intelligent actual public servants in DC instead of vipers and grifters and con artists. But we don’t. So here we are. Prepare accordingly.
Absolutely Correct.
The Mid-Term elections are the only way to block Leftist insanity, and the 2024 election is the last chance for America to make a course correction.
If Constitutional Conservatives don’t take charge, we are well and truly screwed.
Even “if” China/Russia/UAE succeed in toppling US Dollar reserve status, it won’t last a year because of their internal instability, but it would, in the meantime, create worldwide chaos in economies. It would destroy savings and investment. This would be a 50 year recovery, if ever.
“It would destroy savings and investment.”
You mean the savings and investments of inflated paper supported solely by printing money and debt ?
The Debt that can only be supported by suppressing Interest Rates ? 15% real inflation and 1% interest on private savings.
The Illusion of Wealth will even destroy the Billionaires.
What you have described while accurate has all been well planned. The next step after the massive inflation that is only just beginning will be the world banks getting together to eliminate all debt providing that all nations join in with the Great Reset. The UN and the WEF have been planning our future for a long time.
I have two uncirculated ‘One Hundred Trillion Dollar’ bills from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. They are stunningly beautiful. Before they were revoked one hundred trillion dollars bought one a bus ticket to go across town. I fear that the US dollar is going to follow suit as it has been well planned to do so by the globalists and communists who are presently running the country with the old man with dementia following their orders.
”the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.”
No.
As with covid, it is not the event, but the response to the event, which is driving the fundamental alterations.
There is no reason a contained conflict on the edges of Europe should be fundamentally altering the global financial system. The hysterical overreaction is doing that, as it was intended to.
“There is no reason a contained conflict on the edges of Europe should be fundamentally altering the global financial system.” -keeler

Blown all out of proportion by the usual suspects; and mainstream media is at the heart of it with their constant beating of the drums of war. They were silent the past 8 years as the Ukrainian juntas were killing off ethnic Russians who were living in the southeastern regions of the nation.
This guy, Pat Lancaster, has a good 20-minute take on the situation.
Well, that was a different facet of the plan
DC establishment is rapidly approaching the point where they can’t afford not to rig every election.
I’m pretty sure they already do and have been doing so for decades
They are way, way past that point. Does anyone actually believe that Nancy Pelosi actually won her election/s ??? Does anyone actually believe half our politicians including republicans won theirs ???
What are the strategic advantages We the People hold to thwart the globalists plans? What scenarios create risk for the globalists that can be exploited?
Based on the speed with which they are moving it is crystal clear what a threat Trump was and that he or his like can never gain power again.
I want to throw sand, but I am afraid individual efforts will do little.
This is a group of the intelligent people who think critically. I am sure our networks are quite large. We know what is happening. We know the consequences. What do we do now?
Stock up and buck up, resist where you can; we’re in for a wild ride.
We’re the peons watching this play out, hopefully we survive.
More ammo – Couldn’t stock pile enough gasoline before it got out of hand but I have a hose. The little woman and I have been storing and rotating food for many years.
I am really surprised Trump hasn’t spoken about this. And then I look at those countries who may join BRICS, and he was actually close to all of them in some respect. I look at this collection of countries in BRICS as actually looking to defeat the WEF.
How about openly identifying as a patriot? Wear clothing (or a piece of clothing) that identifies you as a patriot. When the next mandates come, don’t follow them. Stand out as a patriot. The first person to do that gives somebody else the confidence they are going to need. Soon.
The battle is here. We need to identify our team members.
Yes
Be the second person
More will follow
Like how the peoples convoy started
One idea is to get parallel food, medical, etc. systems in place off the grid. We need to start mobilizing so we don’t have to depend on the “government” for our lives.
First thing is to drop communicating ideas to friendlies with cell phones and computers. They rule that type of communication. Maybe it is time to invest in dovecotes and carrier pigeons for fast messaging. Also go word of mouth in bars and churches to make plans. It is slow but getting started now will get our kind to the curve at least. Then plan for a patriotic militia across the country but it must start local, county, then state by state.
the IMF uses the word “may” change and Sundance uses the word “will” change. I don’t understand any of it regardless of word usage.
so if I have ten DOLLARS today March 16, 2022 at 5p.m. Pacific time what happens to my $10 if all this (whatever it is) takes place. can I still use it to buy a gallon of gasoline?
please help me I’m falling…
The reason the US can print money is because it’s the reserve currency – once it loses that status we are no different than any other country with debt and promises we can’t meet – see Italy, Greece, etc.
That’s best case – the dollar loses 30/40 percent of it’s value off the top and we start talking austerity and lowering expectations re: pensions, SS, medical care, general standard of living.
Worst case we have a Venezuela or Argentina like crash and the SHTF – we’re all screwed, the banks bail in with our money, and zoo animals get nervous.
A more diabolical – and likely planned result is a digital central bank currency that is allotted to us based on a formula valuing the now defunct dollar at way less than it is currently worth. At that point all transactions will be monitored and controlled – i.e., you will be told when or if you can purchase anything and what you can purchase and how much of it. Further, you will not be allowed to accumulate “digital wealth” because the digital currency can be time-limited.
Actual effect: all human activity is controlled and we are serfs to the WEF, and other globalist elites.
thanks, Lulu. like the rationing in WWII? you don’t say if I can still use my 10 bucks to buy a gallon of gas. also when is this going to take place? Are they going to take my farm like they take the Russians yachts?
I am in my 80s and suspect Grim Reaper has me penciled in. can this effect me when I’m dead?
My guess is your ten bucks won’t be worth as much and may very well be turned in for another currency but we will still have currency with which to buy things. It’s just how much of the currency will be required to buy things and what things will be available.
I bet you will be fine merrie, cause there will not be much left for the scum in D.C. to steal, and your God fearing neighbors and good Americans will all help you.
Complex systems require resources and the federal government will not be able to borrow willy nilly with a $30T debt outstanding. And remember, interest rates are likely to shoot up, meaning even more of the actual federal resources will be used to pay interest.
So I’m not so sure they can implement a digital currency system in a country where the citizens are having difficulty keeping a roof over their heads, food on the table and the lights on. China has only accomplished a social credit system to date. If they could do digital currency as you describe I’m sure they’d try but even they can’t get it done. Too many poor people and too few resources.
I hope you’re right.
Very well stated.
People genuinely have no idea what is coming. Government control, poverty, violence, starvation. People need to remember this, because it is coming to every single town! Portland was nothing compared to what is coming.?auto=webp&crop=3492,1965,x0,y459&format=pjpg&width=1200
Your ten dollars today will be worth ten cents in a couple of years.
Try to prepare with something to barter with. Do you quilt? Start making some and stock up on supplies to make them. Do you knit? Crochet? Garden? Get heritage seeds that the seeds can be used from last year’s crop. Become good at making soups to use up small quantities of meat and put in edible plants that grow wild. Large quantities can be bartered for other things. Creative thinking skills are going to be needed. Just don’t panic. Pray forward for yourself and others. God has this for us. John the Baptist ate locust and honey. The Israelites received manna. We march forward taken care of until Jesus calls us home.
Dr. Steve Turley – A New World is Rising from the Ashes of Ukraine!!!
Forget ressession, we should be preparing for the Greatest Global Depression in history.
Yup! Agree 100% And this is all by design!!!
They are already preparing Americans for a Great Recession. Here in SWFL you can’t even find a new or used car to buy – dealers are saying you can preorder but even then they can assure you the car will be delivered in 7 months!
Liquor stores are running short on booze.
Gas has remained steady for the past week at $4.5o a gallon.
Publix freezer cases are low on frozen breads, veggies and pizza.
People are asking their doctors to give them 6 months supplies of medication prescriptions.
Everyone is buying cases of water. And this is just the snowball from the top of the hill-
Everyone we talk to want nothing to do with Ukraine – the sentiment is “Take Care Of Americans” we don’t have a dog in this fight and we are suffering-why doesn’t Biden see the misery here???
Is that question serious? You don’t know?
People know but it’s the frustration and ANGER that is rising among all Americans who are working for a living, seeing their savings erode and their quality of life change day by day and supporting a Governments doesn’t give a damn about America.
This is why solving any of this stuff is nearly impossible. The average American doesn’t know shit from shinola.
When Bill Clinton said “I feel your pain,” he wasn’t lying. He h a s empathy. It is just that he l i k e s feeling other people’s pain.
Sadists and rapists and molesters tend to be that way.
The misery is intended and savored.
Well that explains the cackling , laughter,and smirks.
Pelosi’s odd knuckle gesture?
They love it
Please realize that Biden can’t see his own feet much less see or comprehend anything happening beyond his immediate circle of aides and the TelePrompTer.
Forget Biden. He is a mannequin, a brainless bag of meat being used as a prop to conceal the criminals (most likely Ozero and his Gang) who are really running the Executive Branch machinery.
I gotta do some more reading, but this is interesting:
“ In October 2000, Saddam Hussein did attempt to alter the petrodollar system when he announced that Iraq would sell oil in euros, not dollars. By February 2003, he had sold 3.3 billion barrels of oil for 26 billion euros.”
And
“ According to former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, by February 2001 the Bush Administration was already talking internally about the logistics of invading Iraq. “Not the why,” he said, “but the how and how quickly.” Blueprints were already being made. On 9/11, just a few hours after the attacks, then-deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz ordered a comprehensive study of Saddam’s ties to terrorist organizations.”
Those quotes were from this essay: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/.amp/culture/the-hidden-costs-of-the-petrodollar
Not saying the author is right or wrong, but very interesting.
So the question becomes, if this is happening what can I do to hedge my position and bring the most benefit to my family to ensure survival: in other words, what does the elimination of the petro dollar cause?
Libya was planning a gold-backed African currency and look what we did there.
Much of our military activity of the last 60 years has been to prop up the petrodollar.
I was gonna mention Libya, you beat me to it .
And you’re right about our military interventions as well .
That why I think we’re on the outs , I think they want us destroyed . Question is , do they want to do it militarily as well .
The elimination of the petro dollar eliminates the need for many countries to hold USD in order to transact for oil purchases which led to the use of the USD for other transactions as well. Countries hold USD by buying and holding treasury bonds/US debt. So the US has been able to run huge deficits and run up huge debt by having captive buyers of the debt. Without the ability to sell debt we’d have spend what we earned. That is a haircut nobody wants to get or maybe some do but there’d be a lot of welfare to cut. Major social upheaval. The value of the USD would fall as well, so higher inflation, likely hyperinflation.
High inflation, debasing of the dollar, depression likely global, and scarcity.
Start a garden, buy food, pay off all debt, get out of cities, have a source of water, septic, propane, propane generator, tools, cheap transport like a motor scooter or a bike, have ammo and ammo delivery systems, and make a community with like minded neighbors. We will all need each other.
Study how people survived during the Depression and look at what’s happening now in Venezuela.
Live your best life, be a good person, because apparently hard times are coming.
My father survived the Depression by hopping on and off trains throughout Pennsylvania, trying to find work here and there, sometimes literally “singing for his supper.” (He was a singing waiter on occasion…)
He was 17. I’ve got more than fifty years on him as I write this, so can’t follow in his footsteps.
But yes, I can try to live my best life and be a good person.
If I don’t try, they win.
In a world of hyperinflation, why pay off debt? It is in a fixed dollar amount, so it will whither as prices rise.
exactly…if I have a 3% mortgage and the dollar is hyperinflating at 15-20%, seems to me as wages, etc. adjust over time…that mortgage could be completely paid off with a wheelbarrel of dollars from a weeks work. Am I missing something there?
Well … Obama finally knocked America off her high horse. Perhaps THIS is the reason the US Constitution requires the POTUS be born in America.
The FIRST great election FRAUD has had severe consequences for America
Our country has been fraught with more than a few evil leaders. Obama was hardly the first election fraud.
The constitution requires the POTUS to be born of 2 American citizens. The location of the birth was a deflection. A countermeasure if you will.
And every member of CONgress fell for it or was complicit.
Without the dollar the deep state and government largest will have to live within its means.
Additional the WEF and all will fail, humans don’t take well to bondage especially those that have known freedom.
More will submit than you think. Look at history, only a small number fought, many after submitting at first.
Peasant wars of 1500’s and 1600’s comes to mind.
I hope you’re right , it’s hard to tell now a days 🤔
I just can’t be sympathetic here: international trade among countries should never be – and should never have historically been – “shanghai’d” by any of them. But, for far too long, obsolete concepts such as “The Petro-Dollar™” have continued to hold sway, albeit for no particular modern reason. (We don’t “schlep around gold bars in deeply-buried New York bank vaults” anymore …)
Most international contracts are futures contracts: someone negotiates today for the price that he will pay tomorrow for a resource that might not yet have been dug out of the ground. The final settlement might also occur in the future. Such trades are enormously vulnerable to inflation and to [deliberate …] currency manipulation by those countries in whose [intermediate? …] currency the trade is to be conducted … and all of us, every day, pay the price in terms of higher transaction costs caused by this uncertainty.
Yes: “every time you ship a package; every time you ride an airplane; every time you fill your tank; every time you buy something that got shipped to the store by truck (which is everything).”
And I have to bluntly say this about my own country: “the USA has been the very worst of all.”
Anyone who is today conducting an international trade ought to have numerous competing options: both “currency” and “bourse.” If any country’s government does not want to “play fair,” they ought to find themselves very quickly in the dark as the patterns of world trade simply move around them and forget them. “If you won’t play the game, and play it fairly, then somebody else will.”
Maybe fifty years ago we didn’t have the know-how, the digital security, the infrastructure, or the computers by which to do this. Today, we most certainly do. Today, the most-complicated transaction can be settled in a millisecond, and most of them are. No trader should ever be told that “there’s only one legal way to do it.”
thank you very much for this response.
I keep thinking the outcome of what we are seeing will not be what everyone expects it to be
A new day is dawning?
funny you mention futures.yesterday CFE cooperatives here in n.w. iowa stopped all futures contracts in their grain markets.As deb says and i think this also this will be a global depression.china is teetering on the edge with their own housing collapse,this could get ugly in a hurry.stock up and be prepared.all i gotta say is i am happier than a pig in mud living in fly-over country.food will not be our problem.
so the world’s Reserve Currency has always been with the country having the best Navy which make sense when you consider international trade was conducted by shipping/exploration in the past. I have been thinking the strongest internet security both defensive and offensive will be the baseline going forward

Richard Haass. President of CFR. Very experienced authoritarian speaker.
Scroll to about minute 43 and listen.
He clearly states the sanctions are about having the Oligarchs pressure/remove Putin.
What he underestimates, is, that the strengths of Russia he mentions (Oil, grains, and minerals) are more important than the faux service economy in which we exist.
For all their grand plans, he admits Russia has little debt, so, the sanctions effect will be less than publicized and take a long time to effect Russia.
It is also glaringly evident he has no technical or engineering expertise and contradicts himself at the end as to the destruction the “Green”New Deal energy proponents will cause.
Or maybe he does know what’s going to happen.
They also have no understanding of Russians or history.
That is really good info Bill. Thank you
You’re welcome.

Not so sure. I don’t see Putin falling for Schwab’s charm. Much less O’Bongo’s.
Just listened to a very important Tom Luongo podcast with Alistair Crooke. It’s interesting to hear Crooke’s view of Putin.
He see’s him as someone who wants to return to traditional values: Orthodox church, family and culture (though I would add historical memory).
Crooke seems to feel he has to get his message out pronto, and pours it out in the first half hour (the audio is 1 hr and 20 mins). I thoroughly enjoyed his classification of the Bolshevik Revolution as Wokeism 1.0 (cancel culture for the church, family and history).
https://tomluongo.me/2022/03/15/podcast-episode-100-alistair-crooke-russia-war-independence/
If that indeed is Vlad’s idea of a new International Order, I’m Rootin’ for Putin.
Putin better hurry up otherwise he won’t have anyone left for family values.
This cretin of a journalist wants to kill Russian children. Kill the children, kill the country. I am surprised we haven’t heard this from Pelosi and Wimsey.

Putin is no dummy . Russia is better hedged than any country . The question is , is he really in with the globalists , and just playing his role, imho .
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been studying Orthodox Christianity, and by default, Russian history comes up quite bit. Reading Putin’s speeches has had me thinking along the same lines. There is a deep spiritual history in Russia, so much so that the Tsar, Nicholas II, was canonized as a saint after being murdered by the Bolsheviks. Russia held incredible promise before communism.
Putin seems to be aligned with Orthodoxy and traditionalism. Something that we in the west have been conditioned to cast off with our Globohomo rainbow parade to oblivion. This is a detail that is often missed in any discussion of Putin or Russia.
Well, didn’t we all say, I sure did, that something big was coming this year? And so it begins. Notice how as the momentum toward the great reset accelerates the timeline to new milestones crossed condenses? Stands to reason. There will be no turning back. Normal is what lies ahead, not behind us. Brace for impact.
It is all so sad to witness, and be part of, unwillingly.
Just one meaningful indictment in connection with 2020 rigged fraudulent election would bring a significant paradigm change.
“Please remember this exact moment, because when the inevitable consequences surface – I demand some reference point so you will feel the scale of your participation in your own demise.”
I’ve tried to do the same with how people vote. Remember, this is what you voted for. At some point, people need to own the consequences of their actions.
There has been some success, but it takes a considerable amount of time to convince some. Others are just too far gone to even waste any time with them.
I’m hoping the schadenfreude brings me some joy when I’m standing in a food line. Biden voters destroyed the country because for the most part they are arrogant and stupid.
before condemning those around you consider how you have voted in the past and what most them were shown to be…
Not condemning anyone. Just pointing out the consequences of their actions and the pain it brings to everyone.
“Please remember this exact moment, because when the inevitable consequences surface – I demand some reference point so you will feel the scale of your participation in your own demise.”
As Hunter S Thompson described accountability: buy the ticket; take the ride. Unfortunately many of us refused to be a part of any of this ‘great reset’ but we are forced to ride on the cattle car with all the knuckleheads with Ukraine flags for their avitars.
Wth does this mean for my little savings?
Retirement funds?
Your dollar will buy less and less. The value of your dollars will rapidly and steeply decline. Invest dollars in concrete items to improve chances of surviving and those which may have future value should we recover.
Get them out of the banks and buy things of value.
Problem is there are very few things of value to buy!
Anything that will aid in survival will become a thing of value.
Think shelter, food, water etc.
I’ve always felt Wall Street will steal it all . I would be glad to be wrong . Don’t think I will be 🤷♂️
China economy and gubment budget depends on American dollar for what they export. They “loan” dollars to small countries and use dollars for construction.
How will we “cut off trade” with China when they see Biden sit on his hands with Ukraine.
Ukraine is dress rehearsal for China expansion. China wants to make “loans” in dollars and want their loan payments in dollars.
No economist can trust China with a purse when we consider Trump tariffs and how they just “adjusted” their currency.
(I am a fresh water economist)
We do not have a representative government.
Obama managed to pull that off during his 8 years, and the final demise of the US of A was planned for under HRS. We had a 4 year respite with PDJT; and he showed us what a REAL President of the US is, and he opened our eyes to the destruction headed our way.
Unfortunately, I fear not enough people realize what they’ve signed on for.
America doesn’t need the world. The world needs us.
Let’s hope we enter into national self-preservation mode after Trump/DeSantis win in 2024.
Amen. All this gloom and doom. We as AMERICANS been there before and can do it again. We just got so many old, senile politicians. About half of america is smart, the other half? Decide for yourself.
The good news is the smart half is better armed, and better shots.
There is no need for elections in the NWO. You can’t improve on Utopia.

Putin knew by cutting off the Ukraine to the sea he would change the economic and political landscape of Europe. China of course watches and calculates and moves on long term plans around the world and on talks with Russia. The west led by the US wants to prolong the war indefinitely with false hopes of victory for the Ukraine. Idiots and macchiavellian politicians and corporations watch and calculate the results of the shake up for each of their own reasons. Yes America with Ukraine as serfs and chattle of these bastards. We can stop this but it takes more than anything the GOP offers us.
Gop no different than the Dems. All on the gravytrain pretending they care about the tax payers. All talk and no action. Don’t be fooled. Gop got rid of President Trump because he called them out.
Is anyone talking about what alternatives there are besides the digital currency that’s being prepared?
Doesn’t anyone want to talk about what we can do when the currency collapse that doesn’t involve accepting more control from the people who INTENTIONALLY screwed everything up?
A plan for alternatives would be welcome if anyone has ideas…
There’s always gold and silver … … … and lead.
Of course – I mean a viable currency exchange which provides an easy alternative to what globalists would like to impose.
It just seems wise to have an alternative proposal under consideration before currency collapse.
Problem – Reaction – Solution is a tried and true mechanism that’s been used against us for generations. Perhaps we could get ahead of the game this time around (I’d offer something myself but I know there are wiser and more competent people than me out there…)
I’m sure a lot of people lean towards crypto but nebulous digits in space can easily go ‘poof!’
Is there a difference between crypto coins and digital currency?
I don’t think so – I pretty much ignore crypto though so I’m definitely not an expert.
Believe me – “they” will not be open to any suggestions we the people have. When are we going to realize what the real solution to this mess is? We have to take control of this country or we will lose it. Everyone should be able to see that by now.
“It’s stunning how no one in Washington DC is seemingly against this outcome. It’s almost as if they realize, in the biggest of big pictures, the scale of the U.S. debt and deficit is so large that a massive reset is needed.”

Sundance retweet…

I see Putin/Xi on opposite sides of Obama/Schwab. In my view, the WEF crowd just lost control.
I believe the outcome is the same with this arrangement – and I can’t say it makes me sad in the slightest. Our government has fed from the trough of this largess for generations. Too many have died for the unappreciated sake of being “The World’s Policeman”.
As they say, “What cannot continue….. won’t”.
Prepare accordingly.
There’s a Reset coming. The question is, which one will it be.
What if …… W.E.F. is forcing Putin -Xi hand , as a ” catalyst ” for change ?
ordo ab kao
Could be the other way around. The “First to Market” will be strong for SWIFT replacement and knew digital currency (CBDC). Russia has been buying gold for 14 years
Do we at least get a fake big red button to symbolize the reset?
Headed for a major Spiritual Battle. Get ready for the Rapture, my friends. We’re outta here before the 7 years of Tribulation. ❤️😇🙏 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
Amen!
Amen!
For me the tribulation started about when HRC became the shoo in circa 2015. That was 7 years ago
I’ve been talking about the petrodollar, but trying to have a conversation with the stand with Ukraine crowd is almost impossible. None of these meme sharing morons understand what’s headed our way.
Ladie and gentlemen, presenting Joe Biden, global financial visionary.
Framing it a bit differently, Putin may be the only lever the unwashed have to try to keep the dollar honest.
I’m with ya Sundance .
Where does it lead is what I’m wondering . The US will be on the outs for sure , I think they want us destroyed . Does it lead to ww3 , or do they just crush us financially ?
And is the belt road all part of the plan ?

Isolationism is not a bad thing – imho.
As our economy goes, so does the world’s. I will take that to the bank.
We are BY FAR the richest country in the world, with the biggest purchasing power BY FAR, and the largest, combined, natural resources.
If we go, China goes too. Europe as well. Europeans major exports are Aircraft and cars. And who buys those? We do.
It ain’t over yet. We do have to take back control of our own destiny though. Kick DC asses out.
That’s the mission, should we all wish to accept it.
That relies on a set of assumptions which may no longer be operative. If the most important things become food and energy, purchasing power goes to who has most. Canada as an example.
Come on, we all know that Ukraine is not going cause all of those changes – that is idiotic on its face. However, the IMF will attempt to change those things under the cover of war but remember that while they are pointing their finger at Ukraine three other finger are pointing back at them. The very fact that they were arrogant enough to say it out loud tells you what they plan to do!!!
Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia are all in on a new system of payments for commodities.
It’s already happening.
The best option for the US is to go all in on returning our manufacturing, mining, and oil production to the our shores and crank it up. Let the world drown in oil as affected countries look to control their disenchanted populations. Drop the “green” BS and man-up. “Build it”…
But hey….we got Biden and Obama. Bummer.
The above was Trump’s goal.
Dollar investors in China are about to get gored. Past time to reduce exposure.
Nail on head, but this administration won’t do it.
The bankers have decided, and rightly so, they can no longer milk the USA to make money and they have to turn elsewhere for the future. The Great Reset. All US manufacturing is offshore, we are a service economy and the future money rests in India and China. The populations are enormous, they have manufacturing and if their populations can grow into consumer behemoths, this is where future profits reside.
The only way to turn this around is to return manufacturing to our shores. Our govt won’t enact policies that will do so.
Add India to that. They are discussing Rupee/Ruble oil transactions for discounted oil. 20m tons bought already. Russia til now provided 3% of Indian oil. Room for more there.
Ya’ll got democrat communists and that is the problem.
Who holds most of the US Treasury bonds? I know many US retirement plans and 401Ks do. What is the percentage? We always think China owns alot of US debt. When the dollar reserve status stops, all those bonds will be practically worthless. Retirement plans will fail on a huge scale. What of other countries who hold US bonds/debt? They will lose big too. What are the various percentages? Domestic compared to international?
I would think worthless because the number of international locations the dollar is good will plummet. Pretty much the US and maybe a few other places if we are lucky.
japan own the most debt.
china holds a large sum, but turn the question about and stop focusing on debt holders.
these are investments. they hedge against domestic economic instablility and global trade.
the US private fund managers hold most of the US debt.
the real question is:
what country is set to establish itself as de facto global energy market maker?
russia
with china financing it
rather soon, the “markets” will shift….they already are.
soon it will be holding russian and china debt.
watch for it.
I thought PDJT did something in the US Treasury that made the Federal Reserve responsible for debts incurred from printing Fiat currency. Am I wrong or was it one of those EO’s that B*den erased???
I want this to known as well!
Mark Steyn surprised his readers by showing up in Ukraine yesterday by walking across the Polish border. His first video was from a bar in Western Ukraine.
He never announces it before he goes abroad to places like Iraq etc. He appeared on GB News today as a news guest below and gives a Steynian take on the Ukraine War.
