Internationalists Are Pushing The World Towards Globally Engineered Economic Warfare
Over a year ago I published an essay entitled ‘The Linchpin Lie: How Global Collapse Will Be Sold To The Masses’. This essay addressed efforts by the ever malicious Rand Corporation to create a false narrative surrounding the possibility of global collapse. Linchpin Theory, as it was named by it’s originator and Rand Corp. employee, John Casti, is I believe the very future of propaganda. Every engineered crisis needs a clever cover story, and in Linchpin Theory, we are told that all human catastrophe is a mere natural product of the “overcomplexity” within various systems. Yes, there is no accounting of false flag geopolitics or elitist conspiracy, no acknowledgment of deliberately initiated chaos; such things do not exist in the world of “linchpins”. Rather, the Rand Corporation would have us believe that the world is a massive game of Jenga, and the supporting pieces just remove themselves from the teetering structure by magical and coincidental causality.
Today, the linchpin lie is now being carefully inserted into the mainstream narrative. I can’t say I was shocked to hear Alan Greenspan use its basic premise when he recently stated that:
“I have come to the conclusion that bubbles…are a function of human nature. We don’t have enough observations, but my tentative hypothesis to what we’re dealing with is that both a necessary and sufficient condition for the emergence of a bubble is a protracted period of stable economic activity at low inflation. So it is a very difficult policy problem. I do believe that central banks that believe they can quell bubbles are living in a state of unrealism.”
It is important that we understand what Greenspan is actually doing here. The former Fed chairman is asserting that economic bubbles like the derivatives bubble of 2008 are a “natural function”, like the seasons, and are out of the control of central bankers. The truth is that central bankers have never tried to “quell” economic bubbles, they have been deliberately creating them in order to position the global economy into a crisis which they can then exploit. Greenspan is not only diverting blame for all the past and future economic crashes central banks have engineered, he is also setting the propaganda stage for a great change in the dynamic of the central banking concept – what the IMF’s Christine Lagarde calls the “global economic reset”.
The current central banking structure gives the illusion of separation and sovereignty. Most people who have not researched the nature of the international banking cartel believe that the Federal Reserve, for instance, is a separate national entity from the Central Bank of Russia, or the Central Bank of China. They believe that these institutions act of their own accord rather than in concert with each other. The reality is, there is no Federal Reserve. There is no Central Bank of Russia. There are no separate entities. There are no Western banks and there are no BRICS. All of these banking edifices are merely front organizations for global financiers, as Council on Foreign Relations insider (and friend to the Rockefellers) Carroll Quigley made clear in his book, Tragedy And Hope:
“It must not be felt that the heads of the world’s chief central banks were themselves substantive powers in world finance. They were not. Rather they were the technicians and agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries, who had raised them up, and who were perfectly capable of throwing them down. The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks. “
A “global economic reset”, I suspect, will consist of a grand shift away from covert cooperation between central banks to an OPENLY centralized one world banking system, predicated on the concepts put forward by the IMF and led by the Bank of International Settlements, which has always been behind the scenes handing down commandments to the seemingly separate central banks of nations.
In order for this “reset” to be achieved, however, the establishment needs a historically monumental distraction. A distraction so confounding and terrifying that by the time the public has a chance to examine the situation rationally, the elites have already tightened the noose.
I have been warning ever since the beginning of the derivatives/debt collapse of 2007/2008 that the international financiers and globalists who created the artificially low interest rates and fiat lending bonanza would one day be required to fashion a considerably dangerous event in order to trigger the final collapse of the dollar based monetary system and replace it with a new currency (or basket of currencies), along with a new centralized financial authority.
This distracting event would have to rely on three very important strategies in order to succeed –
1) The use of what I call the “scattershot effect”; a swarm of smaller crises growing exponentially until it blurs together to create one dynamic calamity.
2) The use of multiple false paradigms in order to confuse the masses and pit them against one another in an absurd fight over fake and meaningless causes.
3) The use of deceptive benevolence on the part of the financial elite as they tap dance in to act as global “mediators”, ready to save the public from itself.
The end result would be a new brand of “world war” rather unique to history.
When most people imagine WWIII, they immediately envision images of nuclear bombs and mushroom clouds, however, I believe that when world war erupts, it may progress far differently from our cinematic assumptions. Regional conflicts are very likely, there is no doubt, but if one places himself in the shoes of the elites, one realizes that all out mechanized nuclear Armageddon is not really necessary to achieve the desired result of global governance.
Economic warfare alone could be extremely effective in initiating full spectrum fiscal implosion as well as mass starvation, mass panic, and mass desperation. All the signs lead me to believe that financial combat and 4th generation warfare will be used in the place of large armies and missiles.
The Scattershot Effect
Consider the sheer scope and number of crisis situations that have reached explosive proportions just in the past six months.
Syria continues to destabilize due to ISIS insurgents supported by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Israel; it is a horrifying storm which is now bleeding into other nations such as Iraq.
Iraq is on the verge of complete disintegration as the same western organized ISIS moves towards the outskirts of Baghdad.
Libya has imploded, with the American embassy evacuated, as well as the French and British, as various militias battle for supremacy.
The Ukraine crisis is nearing mutation into another beast entirely after the attack on Malaysian flight MH17. In just the past week, the EU has instituted sanctions against Russia, fighting has become even more fierce around Donetsk, Russia has been accused of firing artillery into Ukraine, and the U.S. now claims that Russia has violated the terms of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces treaty.
In the meantime, the Federal Reserve continues to taper QE3 while ignoring the unprecedented equities bubble they have birthed in the stock market, as well as refusing to answer the question as to who will actually buy U.S. Treasury debt if they do not? Our secret friend from Belgium? And what if this secret friend is, as I suspect, actually the IMF/BIS global loan shark duo? What then? Do we become yet another third world African-style debtor owing our very infrastructure to a financial bureaucracy on the other side of the world?
And what about the Baltic Dry Index, one of the few measures of global shipping demand that cannot be manipulated by outside money interests? Well, the BDI is back down to historic lows, falling 65% since January, signaling that the so-called “economic recovery” is not at all what it is cracked up to be.
Add to this the deluge of illegal immigration on the southern border, aided by the Obama Administration, as well as possible presidential impeachment and lawsuit proceedings, and you have a recipe for total chaos of the fiscal variety.
If the first six to seven months of 2014 have been this frenetic, how bad will the next six months be?
False Paradigms
We are all aware of the prevalence of the false Left/Right paradigm in American politics. Hopefully most people in the Liberty Movement understand, for example, that any impeachment or lawsuit proceedings against Barack Obama will be nothing more than a crafted circus designed to accomplish nothing – a con game to placate conservatives with useless top-down solutions while the country burns around their ears.
There are other false paradigms that are not so clear to some, though…
The false Israel/Hamas paradigm has certainly duped a particular subsection of Americans and even a few patriots, even though it is historical fact that the creation of Hamas itself was funded and supported by the Israeli government. Why do Israeli politicians put money and arms at the disposal of Muslim extremist groups like Hamas and ISIS, only to enter into brutal conflict with them later? Could it be that the Israeli government does not have the best interests of the Israeli people at heart? Could it be that Israel is being used by internationalists as a catalyst for chaos? It is vital that we question the intentions behind such contrary actions in the Middle East.
Why has the U.S. government (Democrats and Republicans), Saudi Arabia, and Israel put support behind the ISIS caliphate in Iraq after spending decades of time, billions in resources, and thousands of lives, attempting to overrun and dominate the region? Why are these governments creating enemies that will later try to harm us?
It is all about false paradigms; dividing the masses into numerous conflicting sides and pitting them against each other when they should be fighting against the elites.
The false East/West paradigm is perhaps the most dangerous lie facing free men today. It is a lie that may very well define our generation if not our century. I have outlined in multiple articles the substantial evidence that proves beyond a doubt that Russia and China are members of the globalist agenda, and that the tensions between our two hemispheres are completely fabricated.
The latest announcement of a BRICS bank to rival the IMF is yet another scheme to perpetuate the illusion that the elites of these nations are at odds. In fact, the BRICS conference mission statement makes it clear that developing nations have no intention of breaking from the IMF (and certainly not the BIS). Instead, the BRICS bank is meant to provide “leverage” to “force” the IMF to become more inclusive, and hand over more power and participation. Vladimir Putin had this to say at the latest summit:
“In the BRICS case we see a whole set of coinciding strategic interests. First of all, this is the common intention to reform the international monetary and financial system. In the present form it is unjust to the BRICS countries and to new economies in general. We should take a more active part in the IMF and the World Bank’s decision-making system. The international monetary system itself depends a lot on the US dollar, or, to be precise, on the monetary and financial policy of the US authorities. The BRICS countries want to change this.”
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff insisted that the BRICS were not seeking to distance themselves from the Washington-based International Monetary Fund:
“On the contrary, we wish to democratize it and make it as representative as possible…”
Putin and the BRICS commonly rail against the “unipolar” financial system revolving around the U.S. dollar, but in the end they are only controlled opposition, and their solution is to place even more power into the hands of the IMF (a supposedly U.S. government controlled institution), creating a truly unipolar world order. If the U.S. loses its IMF veto status this year due to lack of allocated funds, and the BRICS dump the dollar as world reserve, this may very well happen.
As sanctions between Russia and the U.S. snowball, a perfect rationalization for a dollar decoupling will be created that very few people would have believed possible only a few years ago. It is only a matter of time before fiscal warfare escalates to destructive levels. Russia will inevitably cut off gas exports to the EU, and the BRICS will inevitably drop the U.S. dollar as a world reserve standard.
The U.S. relationship to the EU is also currently being presented as dubious, and this is not by accident. Failing relations between America and Germany are yet more theater for the masses to chew on. Western allies have been spying on each other for decades, but somehow the exposure of CIA activities in Germany is shocking news? The NY Fed suddenly attacks Deutsche Bank, seeking expanded monitoring and regulation? Germany’s business interests are highly damaged by U.S. sanctions against Russia? It would seem as though someone is trying to create an artificial divide between elements of the EU and the U.S.
I believe that the narrative is being prepared for a faked financial breakup between the U.S. and many of its former allies, isolating the U.S., and destroying the dollar, but to what end? To answer that question, we must ask WHO ultimately benefits from these actions?
The Rise Of The Hero Bankers
In June of last year, the Bank of International Settlements, the central bank of central banks whose history began with the financial support of the Third Reich, released a statement warning that “easy money” from central banks was creating a dangerous bubble in stock markets around the world.
The IMF too has been pushing warnings of stock bubble collapse into the mainstream.
In June of this year, the BIS, a normally obscure and secretive organization, released another statement pronouncing that government had been led into a “false sense of security” by easy monetary policy and low interest rates, making the world economy perpetually unstable.
For an organization so covert and occult, the BIS sure has become rather candid lately. Frankly, I agree with everything they have said. However, I do not agree with the hypocrisy of the BIS, which dominates the decisions of all of its member banks, publicly criticizing policies which it most likely scripted itself. Why would the BIS suddenly denounce fiscal methods it used to promote? Because the BIS is setting itself up as the great prognosticator of a collapse that IT HELPED ENGINEER.
After the great financial war has subsided, and the people are suitably poverty stricken and desperate, it will be institutions like the BIS and IMF that swoop in to “save the day”. Their offer will be to consolidate economic control into the hands of an elite group of bankers “not affiliated” with any particular nation state, thereby insulating them from “political concerns”. The argument will be that national sovereignty is a bane on the back of humanity. They will claim that the catastrophe will continue until we “simplify” and streamline our economic and political systems. They will present themselves as the heroes of the age; the ones who predicted the crisis would occur, and the ones who had a solution ready to save the day (after sufficient death and destruction, of course).
As long as people remain obsessed with false paradigms and faux enemies, the establishment’s goal of complete centralized dominance will be predictably attainable. If we change our focus to the internationalists as the true danger instead of playing their game by their rules, then things will become far more interesting…

“I have outlined in multiple articles the substantial evidence that proves beyond a doubt that Russia and China are members of the globalist agenda, and that the tensions between our two hemispheres are completely fabricated”
If that were true, we would not have SCO, BRICS, the crisis in Syria and Ukraine, no talk about dumping the dollar. Everybody, except the Americans, is talking about a multipolar world.
Besides, the idea of globalism is incompatible with peak oil. Peak oil means less traffic, less trade, less travel. It means that the world will become bigger, instead of smaller.
Putin is absolutely not in the same boat as Obama.
Davy on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 7:51 am
In a diverse world of nearly 7BIL people spread across the globe making billions of individual decisions I see this as self-organizing and not following centralized control. There are too many issues today in our world that prove to me beyond a doubt the top is not in control and what control there is being lost by the day. I believe they have the ability to commit us to global suicide. There may be hidden agendas at financial repression in the name of wealth transfer for the 1%’ers globally. Let us call these a subset of a greater power in charge. This greater power is the self-organizing system of our interconnected world locked in complexity where our various locals are dependent on a globalized production and distribution. We are now a de-localized people and dependent on each other. There is no longer any decouple from this system. This system is based upon natural laws. Humans are a subset of this and our systems are most directly controlled by thermodynamic conditions of liquid fuels, food production, water availability, and high quality resources. These forces control us first. A globalized agenda in human affairs if present will wither away as the economic pie shrinks and the population continues in overshoot. Population overshoot and limits of growth are the real drivers now. Any globalized agenda is just reacting to the Mega predicament we are facing which is a series of smaller predicaments in almost every facet of our world today both natural and human. IMO there is no optimism and no hope for a BAU like we have today much longer. If the global agenda recognizes this and is steering the global world to some kind of outcome they will be surprised when they have chaos to deal with. This is a phenomenon in a system bifurcating and breaking from disequilibrium to a new condition and a lower economic level. Chaos cannot be steered only reacted to. Tell me what kind of control is that?
ghung on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 7:51 am
A very slick attempt to deny the fact that humans aren’t, collectively, that someone isn’t, in control of our collective behavior and future. Hubris in extremus; ignores thousands of years of history.
I agree that there are major players and contributors, even those who strive to benefit from what contemporary Randian thought may describe as “disaster capitalism” (HT to Naomi Klien); seed chaos while positioning one’s ‘tribe’ to be the major beneficiary of what follows. But they aren’t in control; not really. Far greater forces are in play that go well beyond any one lifetime or the lifetime of any human-conceived process. All attempts to intervene merely further the cause of collapse. Rinse and repeat.
JuanP on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 8:15 am
This guy has some good ideas, but I couldn’t read this through. Too many irrational conspiracy theories for me. I think the things the author describes as existing are not possible based on my understanding of human nature. We are too stupid, ignorant, biased, selfish, arrogant, and full of it, in general, to succeed at such a conspiracy.
A secret is something you tell nobody else!
rockman on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 8:36 am
Nothing wrong looking for conspiracies…some do exist. But making such a GUTOC (Grand Unified Theory OF Conspiracy) seems a bridge too far IMHO. LOL.

“Hubris in extremus”
I like it. We’ll jump through any logical hoop to convince ourselves that some human, any human, anywhere, is in control. Even if they are out to get us, at least we can have the solace of knowing we humans control our own fate.
It’s like a version of an all-powerful god isn’t it? Instead of thinking about events and ideology and popular movements like waves that sometimes cancel and sometimes multiply creating larger events that seem to come from nowhere, we’d rather think it is some all powerful group that directs the big events.
Strangely comforting in a way – I guess.
Northwest Resident on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 2:28 pm
I personally have no doubt but that world events are to a very large extent being driven and manipulated by a concentrated group of “super-elites” comprised of financial, industrial, intelligence and military honchos. Politicians work for them, and do their bidding. It isn’t so much that it gives me any kind of comfort to believe that major world events are being driven by a central cabal of elites, rather it is what would tend to explain the events that I am witnessing in the world.
I won’t go so far as to agree with everything this author writes, or probably not even his main thesis, but I do definitely agree with several of his points.
When Greenspan states that bubbles are a “natural function”, I agree with that. “Natural” in the same way that sociopaths tend to worm and manipulate their ways to the top where they are in a position of power to play their destructive games and to create conditions that primarily benefit themselves at the expense of others. “Natural” in the same way that greed and inhumanity are “natural” tendencies found in every large group of human beings — probably the sociopaths again. The reason that bubbles in a growing economy are “natural” is because we have a hardcore group of individuals striving to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else, where “everyone else” tends to fall in the easily led, easily manipulated, herd-of-sheep category.
I agree that the events we are seeing in Ukraine are largely manufactured and part of some “master plan”. Some events spin out of control — the downing of the Malaysian airliner might (or might not) be an example — but astute individuals in positions of power know immediately how to harness out-of-control events to further promote their own agendas.
I believe that the war of words and the sanctions and the “rumblings of war” between America, The West and Russia are completely manufactured, and are all part of a major world-class “production” being put on to mesmerize and influence the masses, and to provide cover for other goals deemed necessary by my theoretical “super elite”.
There is no doubt whatsoever the political right/left divide in America is largely manufactured, encouraged and incited, and that one of the primary driving motivations in setting Americans against each other on “hot button” issues is to keep the population distracted, preoccupied and at each other’s throats — better that than having the U.S. population focused on the real issues that confront them and our nation and our world.
There is NO DOUBT but that the American people and the entire world citizenry is being systematically lied to, propagandized and manipulated on a regular, constant basis. The messaging is too well coordinated, too focused on the actual psychological effects, too uniform to be the product of a million propagandizing voices all spouting their stuff. All mass media outlets are owned and controlled by a very small group of corporations, and that small group of corporations is in turn owned by an even smaller group of banks and financial centers — which is where you’ll find our super-elites pulling levers and pushing buttons and making calls to presidents, generals and CEOs of major corporations.
Divide and conquer. When the going gets tough for Kings and Princes, they set the people against each other — it has worked very well for ages, and it is working today.
Pops, I do believe that some all powerful group is directing big events — it seems clear to me, obvious, undeniable. Maybe they don’t control all big events, but you can bet that the NSA, the CIA, the U.S. Military, the Presidents and financial/industrial CEOs report to them, either directly or indirectly. And if there are big events that they aren’t controlling, I believe it is a sure thing that the response to those big events is still being directed explicitly or implicitly by that same group of super-elites.
That’s my rant for the day. Now, back to digging…
Economic warfare alone could be extremely effective in initiating full spectrum fiscal implosion as well as mass starvation, mass panic, and mass desperation.

Arthur – “Peak oil is incompatible with globalism.” You got that right. If only it was a question of peak oil alone!
Unfortunately, we have several other impending ‘issues’to deal with as well: the 6th extinction and its concomitant loss of vital biodiversity; climate ‘weirding,’ including in some of the breadbaskets of the world; the coming financial maëlstrom … I could go on but won’t.
By the way, I went to a protest march here in Paris today to take some pictures. Around 20,000 people – not huge but the ambiance was fine. Various groups and banners of course, some with both Jews and Arabs holding hands chanting something like “We don’t want your F-ing war.”
Had a chance to talk with a number of people about the Gaza ‘war.’ Which isn’t a war at all but a massacre by any standard … One guy, after a few minutes of conversation, presented himself as a member of Israeli Security covering the march. When I told him I had no time for either Zionist extremists or Jihadis, he extended his hand to shake mine.
Then explained why his hand was missing three fingers: he’d been involved in the Jenin refugee camp action of 2002 (northern West Bank). I think 23 IDF soldiers died there. The estimates for the Palestinians runs from 5 or 600 hundred to several thousand.
Imagine that! A peacenik Israeli security dude! Our conversation made it obvious that for him something was clearly wrong with Netanyahu’s progam.
J-Gav on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 3:35 pm
Pops – Good point. There is no “all-powerful group,” even if some elitists might believe that to be the case. There is, however, a ‘very’ powerful group which needs to be stopped in its tracks before it privatizes life itself. No, they don’t (can’t) “direct” everything. But they can channel large sums of money to themselves and their corrupt friends by fomenting conflict and mesmerizing the populace.
henriksson on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 3:42 pm
I would suggest reading some more on political theory, as you seem to have a very poor grasp of it. The Heritage Foundation is not a socialist organization, for starters, as you wrote in the essay you linked to.
J-Gav on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 4:00 pm
Sorry (not really) for the off-topic comments.
The article – I agree with Rockman, this may be a bridge too far. Of course conspiracies exist. They’re hatched everday! But how does throwing out a term as vacuous as “the internationalists,” with only the vaguest of definitions provided, advance anyone’s understanding of a ‘global agenda?’
It might exist. But there’s no proof presented here as to who’s involved, what the ultimate goal is, etc. Nevertheless, the “false paradigms and faux-ennemis” criticism I can agree with.
penury on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 4:03 pm
I will add my opinion which I am afraid will add no value to the conversation. I believe that there is no grand conspirasy. However, there is a world-wide economic catastrophe happening, bolstered by the over use of all the things humans need to survive. Leaders of the nations are sociopaths and recognize kindred spirits in each other and are united in preserving themselves and their friends. The fact that wars are staged to distract the majority should not be a suprise. Wars will continue until the population reaches a level which will remain of value to the elites but, will not pose a threat to their well being. With rapidly shrinking resources and burgening population the subterfuges indulged in by the elite become more transparent and conspirisy theories arise among the herd. As the world economy continues its downward trajectory expect more and even worse effects and consequences over the next period of time. Its always about the economy.
Northwest Resident on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 4:37 pm
“Our light-speed, globally connected economy has led to the rise of a new super-elite that consists, to a notable degree, of first- and second-generation wealth. Its members are hardworking, highly educated, jet-setting meritocrats who feel they are the deserving winners of a tough, worldwide economic competition—and many of them, as a result, have an ambivalent attitude toward those of us who didn’t succeed so spectacularly. Perhaps most noteworthy, they are becoming a transglobal community of peers who have more in common with one another than with their countrymen back home. Whether they maintain primary residences in New York or Hong Kong, Moscow or Mumbai, today’s super-rich are increasingly a nation unto themselves.”
“For the super-elite, a sense of meritocratic achievement can inspire high self-regard, and that self-regard—especially when compounded by their isolation among like-minded peers—can lead to obliviousness and indifference to the suffering of others.”

“There may be 147 companies in the world that own everything (from NewScientist article linked below), as colleague Bruce Upbin points out and they are dominated by investment companies as Eric Savitz rightly points out. But it’s not you and I who really control those companies, even though much of our money is in them. Given the nature of how money is invested, there are four companies in the shadows that really control those companies that own everything.”

Makati1 on Sat, 2nd Aug 2014 10:57 pm
I have to agree with Davy on this one.
No one is in total control, although a number of organizations may think so.
All of the games being played are insignificant to the FACT that we are soon entering a bottleneck, as a species, that we may not emerge from. What we do before that event is minor.
Northwest Resident on Sun, 3rd Aug 2014 12:36 am
Makati1 said: “What we do before that event is minor.”
I’m going to have to disagree with you on that, Mak. Knowing that we will soon be entering a bottleneck, we have the opportunity to prepare now in order to increase our chances of making it through that bottleneck. There isn’t much if anything that can be done to save the majority of humanity in the collapse scenarios that you or I envision, but on an individual basis, a LOT can be done to get better odds.
Also, just remember. If you think that “no one is in total control”, that’s probably exactly what they want you to think. And just because you think it doesn’t mean it is true — neither of us know for sure. To you, everything looks like mass chaos without any single directing force. To me, much of the chaos is being initiated and orchestrated for reasons unknown that we can only speculate about. Did you read my links above? If “four companies in the shadows” control 147 companies that control nearly all the wealth in the world, you’d have to guess that a lot of power and influence was concentrated there, wouldn’t you? Maybe they don’t “control” events in the same way that a General controls soldiers on the field — giving orders and those orders are carried out — but they control events through the enormous power, wealth, prestige and connections that they have, and no doubt through also being extremely persuasive. They DO stick together — they’re all in The Club — and they form consensus among themselves. They absolutely do direct major events in this world. Always have, are now, and probably will be far into the future. THEY are definitely preparing for that bottleneck you talked about — their preparations are just a little bigger and affect more people than your and my preparations do.
Makati1 on Sun, 3rd Aug 2014 4:36 am
Northwest, I think you can prepare for man caused social collapse, even a world war event, but what is going to happen in the next 20 to 50 years, in the way of climate, is going to be beyond our preparation ability. I think if the human species survives past 2100, it will be by shear luck of a few who accidentally will be in the right place at the right time. No great numbers will make it into the next century. I suspect it may be in the thousands, or maybe even hundreds, but not millions.
Look at the Us. If this drought persists and grows, as historically it has happened before, the uS may be unlivable in 10 years. Throw in mega storms, extremely variable weather, and 450 million people (US & Mexico) trying to move north in to Canada to keep cool and survive, and you have chaos like we cannot imagine.
That does not mean we shouldn’t try to prepare for eventualities. At best, it will make the event less painful. That is my plan. I will likely not even see 2040, but my kids and grand kids might. They are the ones I am trying to get to prepare with limited success, so far.
Makati1 on Sun, 3rd Aug 2014 4:47 am
As for that small group directing everything. I too believe it is true, but I also believe they are panicking because it is not unfolding the way they want. Proof? the Ukraine. As sloppy a takeover as I have ever seen in my 70 years. Putin is not cooperating and is smiling at the bluffing antics of the West, knowing he holds four aces.
The ME. Unless they are planning for a Muslim world, I don’t think the chaos there is according to their plans either. Again, Putin fouled up their plans by taking away their excuse for war in Syria and Iran.
Asia? Well the “One World Government” seems to be losing traction there also. New alternates to the Western IMF and WB. New trade routes for money exchanges bypassing the dollar. GMO food corporations being ejected from some of the highest populated countries in the world.
If this is their plan, they must have a thousand super computers somewhere keeping tabs on all of the variables. I don’t think so. I think that they will panic us into a nuclear war. Game over.

Makati1 — There is no doubt whatsoever that top U.S. Military, intelligence (CIA, NSA, etc..) experts and climate change scientists are diligently working together to try to predict future scenarios and ways to mitigate them. The one OBVIOUS way to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emission and to begin reversing global warming trends is to just crash BAU as quickly as possible. And that process is well under way. TPTB see chaos coming, and they probably saw it coming a long time ago. What’s one of the best ways to protect against and mitigate uncontrollable chaos? Answer: Start up some of your own chaos to counteract it — you know, fight fire with fire. I believe that much of the chaos that we see erupting in the world not least of which is in Ukraine is BY DESIGN — they could have done something to stop it but they didn’t, or the could do something to end it but everything is going according to plan, or the chaos would never had erupted in the first place if TPTB had not instigated it through their various devious but ultimately destabilizing methods. In other words, just because you see what seems to you to be out-of-control chaos happening in the world, don’t automatically assume that just because it is chaos that it wasn’t planned or harnessed to achieve other unstated goals.

I would not be surprised that there is a group of very rich(currently) people that think they control everything and might try to manufacture a series of events to their benefit but as is always the case things will not work out quite as they planned.I think the subtitle to the human adventure of the last hundred years or so should be “What could possibly go wrong”.

“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
― David Rockefeller
From the horses mouth. It doesn’t get much clearer than this.

More food for thought:
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

This issue has been discussed at length for many years already. They are very aware of peak oil, resource depletion, environmental degradation, and climate change.
I have said this here before; What would YOU do if you were in a position to change our dead end trajectory?
JuanP on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 3:30 pm
Greg, I have always been afraid that at some point TPTB would go for the massive use of chemical and biological weapons to reduce population after they realize the predicament we are in. I hope I’m wrong!

Greg, it is apparent the “they” you speak about are failing. IMO the system is not manageable beyond a certain point. The only management in control is nature and she takes her time. There is little doubt there are efforts in play to do as you argue but I see no results showing success. I really only see failures and the failures are getting more spectacular.

And everybody who resists is going to be systematically destroyed and demonized, Germany, Italy, Japan and now Russia. That’s the policy of the US since 100 years. Thank god we have Russia, thank god even we have China to prevent the ultimate desaster: a world without borders and destruction of European civilization. Every European city a Detroit basket case. Thanks, but no thanks. Time for an international arrest warrent for Rockefeller and give him a fair trial before an ISIS court.

“I really only see failures and the failures are getting more spectacular.”
I don’t know about that, Davy. I think it is too early to know for sure. We won’t know until the smoke clears from the inevitable global economic collapse that is headed our way fast. When the smoke does clear, if the global elite are still standing and in charge, then you’ll know that their plans worked out just fine. If they are hanging from various trees and/or their heads are falling into baskets as the guillotine blades come swooshing down, then we’ll know their plans didn’t work out so well. If we can find any elites anywhere after the smoke clears and nobody but us regular people are left to figure things out on our own, then we’ll have good reason to suspect that the elites all sailed off to some island and are living in a utopia of their own making — and we’ll suspect that their plans succeeded.
GregT on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 5:28 pm
Davy,
I’m not arguing anything, I merely pointed out what these people admit that they are doing. Their plan has been in effect for generations.
Arthur,
As I have said so many times before. I certainly hope that you are correct, but I don’t think so. Everything appears to be going as planned. I am really curious as to what their next move will be. My best guess is Iran.
GregT on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 5:47 pm
Also Davy,
You say that the ‘system is not manageable beyond a certain point’, but you are forgetting a key point. It is their system, and they can manage it, or change it, however they like.
Arthur on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 5:55 pm
Greg, currently the US is forced to cozy up with Iran, in order to contain ISIS. There is currently absolutely no danger that the US is going to attack Iran. The US empire is stretched to the limit. The US population is tired and absolutely unwilling to fight a world war. Iraq was a failure, Syria is a failure and Putin is smarter than Hitler and is not taking the bait in Donbass. Today 500 Ukis defected into Russia. Recently was C-SPAN finally forced to invite Richard Gage, after the poor broadcaster was bombarded by questions from 9/11 truthers during every talkshow for months. The US is going to fail miserably in achieving world government, just like their Soviet palls failed. The BRICS have now setup a parallel IMF. Please name me one recent success for the globalists. MH17 could be the straw that breaks the camels back…. Russia had the black boxes in it’s possession for a few days and likely made a copy of the conversations with airtraffic control. I suspect that they are deliberately waiting for the west to release the tapes, with the last two incriminating minutes stripped. Once they have done that, they are trapped and could be subjected to an embarrassement that will dwarf that of the release of the ‘fuck the EU’ telephone call by Nuland.
Davy on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 6:05 pm
It is their system to a point Greg. No one owns the system nor can manage it except Nature. This system is self-organizing and beyond centralized control except around the edges. We can bring the system down internally but we can’t manage the system’s descent nor its growth. The elites could have a plan and be bent on destroying the civilization as we know it. It will not have a chance with the monster called hyper globalism that has been let loose and can never be caged again. It can only be destroyed or die its own death. If significant population is lost BAU is dead. If complexity, energy intensity, and hyper distribution is lost so is BAU and by extension NWO. This level of civilization is not sustainable let alone one like the NWO group is searching for. Complex thinking is toast. Simplicity is the soon to be new normal. Just like our oceans we are heading for the equivalent of a large amount of jellyfish instead of a vibrant ocean teaming with diverse life. You call that an environment for a NOW? I believe you are right about this plan and that it has been going on for generations but it is dated. I am looking past this to when the smoke clears as NR put it. Yes, Greg and Art, we may be in the midst of a great war or clash with these folks last desperate attempt to create this evil system but it is doomed in a few short years to irrelevance or at best dispersed pockets.
GregT on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 6:23 pm
Arthur,
You, of all people should know, that this isn’t about the US. The US will be brought down as well as everyone else, actually, it already has been. All that is left is the final blow.
Other than Iraq and Afghanistan recently, the wars waged have been by proxy, and through economic means. Divide and conquer, and financial terrorism.
MH17 has already served it’s purpose, sanctions have already been imposed. If war breaks out, nothing but a bonus, TPTB will capitalize on both/all sides, like they always have.
I’m not sure what the thoughts are on the ground in the Netherlands, but very few people here are even aware that the US was involved in the overthrow of the Ukrainian government. Everyone I know believes that Putin is to blame for the downing of flight MH17, and the media has been relentless in making sure that it stays that way.
So, hopefully Europeans are better informed than we are here in North America, because so far here, it is Game, and Set.
Arthur on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 6:40 pm
The US is their powerbase, in this respect is the US important. These sanctions have no real meaning, merely token measures to appease the Americans. In Europe with the public, there is predominantly distrust regarding the motives of Washington. In International polls, washington usually does not rank very high when it comes to trust and peaceful intentions.
GregT on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 6:58 pm
Davy,
If I was a ruthless oligarch, I would move to my remote island bunker, pull the plug on the global financial system, and wait it out. Once the dust had settled, and the population had been adjusted, I would resume operations. There are still plenty of oil and gas reserves left for a global elite to live comfortably for a very long time, without causing further considerable damage to the environment. Of course it would also come in handy to have control over a largish military. They would be fed well.
BAU will come to an end on it’s own, but the further it is allowed to continue, the more damage that will be incurred on our life-support systems. Those in power behind the scenes are very aware of this, and have been meeting and discussing it for a number of years. To allow BAU to run it’s course until the planet is truly messed up beyond human comfort, is not something that I would allow to happen if I had any control over the situation. I doubt very much that TPTB will either.
Davy on Mon, 4th Aug 2014 8:18 pm
Greg that might work for a few NWO folks but not many. Any estimates on the amount of people under the NWO umbrella? Is there a Muslim branch, Chinese branch, surely not the Russians (per Art).
GregT on Tue, 5th Aug 2014 9:29 am
Davy,
Sorry, I don’t have all of the fine details, but I’m sure that they do.
Maybe you should ask a former director of the CIA? He seems somewhat confident.
