So this is all being planned as the mechanism to introduce CBDCs?

Exciting times coming. May it be the kunlangeta who suffers the most. [This posted double when I first commented; then when I deleted one, the other was deleted too. So this time I'm leaving it up.]

Matthew, I have putting off reading this because I know I am gonna be pissed of after.

But thank you in advance for writing this.

When they bail the bank out on Monday, so all those poor billionaires won't lose their money, and I have to pay for it, I will be beside myself.

A financial crash doesn’t worry me. Just like a forest fire is necessary.

What worries me is that this one is and will be intentional, and we know exactly why.

Hi Mathew, great post!

Regarding the gold - all of the "Patriot" sources have been pushing "buy gold (or silver)" since early 2020, and I have always feared that this is the same playbook as 1933, for the gov. to come and take it all away after the upcoming financial crash.

Regarding the great CEO exodus, the "Q" movement sold it as a result of Trump's September 12, 2018 executive order 13848, which gives the right to basically take the property of any entity involved in election fraud.

The idiots planning all these irrational changes never consider the high probability of unintended consequences wrecking their silly plans. Most of these pretend intellectuals all share the same brain cell.

China was originally a Rockefeller social engineering project. It's a Western creation where Google (NSA), originally developed its surveillance system. And ultimately, it will all be deployed in the West. Gangsters never offer concessions.

Is this where banks collapse and central banks take over?

Thinking again about the recent simultaneous three Pemex explosions in the context of the Texas pipelines and Nordstrom destruction...

Activist groups have been teaching a certain subgroup how to scam the disability system for decades. Once a month on Sundays in church basements throughout the country. The rent/auto scam was just a new play on an old trick.

Another option is that this strengthens the hi-tech oligarchs by bankrupting the startup competition.

This is disaster capitalism big C variety.

And I predict that it's going to take years of under the radar struggle; too many parties warring

I heard it from a psychic and they are always right, right?

Dear Mathew,

If we use the working assumption that there are MULTIPLE larger than state level actors making these plans that are not beneficial to us mere mortals then we have to assume they are either warring with each other, competing or cooperating. To me it seems that each of these options would have totally different motivations for what we see happening around us. Why should EU, Russia, and/or China cooperate with the USA in destroying markets to favour others the way they seem to be doing?

My real questions are, what is a better investment, property (own home) or gold?

Should one try to own a property that is mortgaged to the hilt or one that is paid-off? We see large operators hoping for security through gold during the transition to digital. Is their fear/knowledge that hidden assets will be erased the driver or the potential inflation of digital currency that will make it a worthless asset?

Why is Billy collecting viable farmland instead of gold or dollars?

Is it a planned demolition accelerating a move towards a central bank digital currency. Notice, how politicians rail against China, while Western trillion dollar asset management firms want to replicate their totalitarian technocracy.
