I'm not here to parrot the rubbish everyone else wastes their time with. I tend to watch the ticking bombs, not the exploding ones, and the financial crisis that many credible people see coming is one such event I honestly believe there is no way to prevent. Because that means it's just a matter of time the only important question is: When? All we really have that can be trusted as far as making predictions or planning ahead comes from the historical outcomes seen in other parts of the world when a similar set of circumstances occurred.
Whenever a nations currency is debased by over printing, if the negligence is bad enough, it collapses. This collapse follows a period of hyperinflation after which it becomes worthless. Banks become insolvent, and anyone with significant cash holdings is left with sizable bag of wallet sized artwork. With so many such examples one can look to for what we can expect, I don't think it reasonable to think that this point is lost on those responsible for doing it to the US dollar, so the only other thing to conclude is that they are doing it deliberately and for some reason.
Back in November of last year I pointed out a number of clues that were fairly obvious. We had the Fed basically telling boldface lies about simple monetary policy. We saw them try to convince us that inflation was somehow a good thing for consumers. (It's not) We saw top financial figures make empty promises in forward looking economic propaganda campaigns that married misleading statistics with equally misleading explanations of how legislative measures like the "Inflation Reduction Act" would produce a positive impact. We saw events that I feel were orchestrated to erode confidence in the present day selection of widely available crypto currencies and the exchanges they are traded on. We saw Starbucks attempt to go cashless.
At the same time we saw the same people paving the way for fiat currency replacement with programmable CBDC. The Fed servers that would run this program were funded, built and installed, and sandbox testing began in earnest. Elsewhere in the world, where more drastic economic shock testing was possible to pull off we saw various banking shenanigans floated out that would never have been thought likely years before. Things like freezing personal accounts over political beliefs and censored speech, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, showing support for some protest or contributing money to it. We saw mysterious banking infrastructure outages that resulted in personal funds being unavailable for a period of time without any notice, and later without an adequate, or even plausible, explanation. Such instances were never the fault of any banker or politician, but machinations of unpopular foreign nations or bad actors vaguely identified as "cyber-baddies" against whom there was apparently no defense.
It's kind of like expecting us to believe that a space capable nation like China would actually resort to floating large spy balloons with bulky Polaroid instamatic cameras to collect their intelligence, because spy satellites that can read a license plate just won't do. Or that the most technologically superior country on Earth, with the largest military (and apparently the most money to burn) actually missed a series of 200 foot wide spy balloons due to an "awareness gap".
Pfft. I can tell you where the "awareness gap" isn't. Only morons are unaware of what's really afoot here. Look! Up in the sky. Not on the ground in Ohio, or Ukraine, or Italy. Don't pay attention to your local bank, or Grocer, or Governor. Definitely don't pay any mind to the vaccinated keeling over dead left and right, or the WHO stealthy advancing its draconian "health" policies. Just continue lopping off your children's genitals, and debating the pros and cons of the next presidential candidate. But I digress…
Ok, let's just cut to the chase here. Its obvious that we have a cabal of not so photo-shy comic book Bond villains willing to burn all the paper money in the world to place a better leash around your neck. What's new? CBDC is going to give them everything they want, so we can expect them to try to convince us that it’s the best way to go, that we are going to love it, or at least take it to stop the hemorrhaging, and if we don't, they will simply take away the alternatives until that’s the only thing left.
So, they are planning a siege. What we are witnessing and trying to calculate is the lead up to that.
Everything I saw last year kind of pointed to right now as a good time to begin this effort with some sort of shocking kickoff, like, I dunno, maybe a nebulous cyber attack that cripples every ATM somehow. Imagine it happens on a Friday at the end of the month when rent is due for most people and all their rent checks and utility payments and car payments bounce. The banks will downplay the problem, assure you it will be over by Monday but instead it goes on for weeks with various special groups getting hit particularly hard to soften them up and collect data on how they reacted to it.
It could be that simple, just blame it on Putin like everything else and begin the "Bail-In Ballyhoo".
But this is a long con game and however reckless it is as a plan matters less to them than its long term success. Since we are almost through the month of February now my earlier prediction seems to have been a bit premature. It appears this process of planning has a few more steps. I honestly don't know how long this punch list is, but everything I see them doing is in line with that larger plan, so take note of the critical moves below and try your best to plan accordingly. Whatever is going to happen just feels very close to me and people I tend to think would be the best ones to listen to tend to agree.

A pilot project is not research and development. That’s already done. CBDC backers just want to test the plumbing before they roll the system out on the entire population. That project is due to be completed next month.
CBDC would also allow for account freezes, tax withholding and outright confiscation in some cases. After all, this is a government-approved digital wallet without any access to physical cash as you know it now.
All the data that the government will have on every aspect of your life would be a dream come true for hackers. Identity theft would become commonplace.
To further advance the climate change agenda, what if Joe Biden or his successor decided that gasoline needed to be rationed? CBDC could be made to stop working at the gas pump once you’ve purchased a certain amount of gasoline in a week! They could justify it based on “national security concerns” or whatever, and that it’s something they just have to do.
China is already using its CBDC to deny travel, employment and educational opportunities to political dissidents. Canada seized the bank accounts and crypto accounts of nonviolent trucker protesters last year. Nigeria put a cap on ATM cash withdrawals at $45 to promote digital payments.
BANKS ADMIT THE COLLAPSE IS COMING
https://www.bitchute.com/video/TCmtjeSCdVrA/
Evidence banks are preparing for this is beginning to show up in day to day operations. i.e. deposit availability periods getting longer, direct deposits showing up late or only partially, withdrawal limits becoming lower, longer procedures for large withdrawals. I have covered the legalities involved in leaving your money in any bank in previous articles.
Just to recap the basics of this: When you deposit funds into a bank, that money LEGALLY becomes the property of the bank, to do with as they see fit, unless and until, the bank returns it to you by allowing you to make a withdrawal. In other words, if you regard your bank as some sort of bulletproof institution, or as a safe, responsible fiduciary partner you can actually prosecute were it ever to outright rob you, you are very naive. The day may come, very soon, when your trusted bank suddenly shocks the hell out of you by acting like a drunk uncle who simply lost your funds at some dog track before handing you a bunch of excuses and lies when you try to take your money back. Legally speaking, that is a hell of a lot closer to actual reality. They have done this before, RECENTLY, in Cyprus, Greece. It's the same system, not some "foreign country thing." Same rules, same situation, just limited to banks in Greece back in 2008.
The central bankers are colluding right now, as you read this, to orchestrate a similar event, only this time on a global scale. Listen to them in a real FDIC meeting discussing this [@19:19 min mark]
Banking bail-in's in Greece were a practice run for what's to come. That's what this discussion is about, so pay attention and just be aware of this, and prepared so you don't get pinched, or worse, completely blindsided. Some people will say I am being paranoid, maybe they don't see what I see going on or read what I read, but if you are on the fence wondering who to believe, just ask yourself this: Would you rather be prepared for this or unprepared? Excuses won't matter much when you need YOUR hard-earned money, if suddenly there is no way to get it.

This month, two big things happened in the CBDC arena. One of the world’s oldest central banks, the Bank of England, and the British government jointly confirmed that a digital pound would probably be necessary at some point in the none-too-distant future. While they were saying that, lengthy queues were forming at ATMs across Nigeria, the first large economy to launch a central bank digital currency (CBDC), as most Nigerians struggle to access physical money following the government’s disastrous demonetization campaign.
Remember these smaller financial events and "take-downs" are sandbox scenarios compared to the larger global economy. Nobody here cares or really even knows about what happens in places like Nigeria. That too is recognized as a planning "plus."
HEDGE FUNDS SHORTED TECH FOR 9 OF THE PAST 10 DAYS
https://www.thestreet.com/phildavis/stocks-options/here-comes-the-squeeze-goldman-prime-says-hedge-funds-shorted-tech-for-9-of-the-past-10-days
What this means for average people living paycheck to paycheck is anyone's guess, but many of those people have investments in things like 401k accounts and life insurance policies and all such things fall under the umbrella of large hedge fund managers. Whenever I see large financial powers acting in unison I tend to find evidence of collusion if I go looking for it. This is a financial mafia with unprecedented power to move markets however they see fit and such moves are always made to enrich themselves at our expense.
So what this says to me is big money interests have a poor outlook on the high tech sector. That’s the guys making the most money right now, and ever since the covid con began. This could mean they expect us all to collectively begin to reject their products and the high tech surveillance noose tightens. It could also mean that they intend to throw a couple of these players under the bus.
ChatGPT has been Microsoft's big gamble. For those of you that don't know what that is you can find better explanations of its potential impact elsewhere, but to put it in a tiny nutshell this is a software that writes stories and supports narratives that are mostly bullshit.
Imagine getting your news from a computer program that tells you what to believe based upon inputs someone programs it to key off of. It's not exactly the smartest AI we have come up with, but like a lot of things we are just now starting to hear about, it's been in use for a while now and the results are less than spectacular. There was one widely publicized example you can find that first broke on Twitter I think, in which a guy posted a response he got from a ChatGPT bot that basically threatened him personally, albeit politely, for asking inconvenient questions about a predominant narrative.
It seems that ChatGPT, in this case, was assuming the role of "Cousin Vinny" to quash dissent and got royally busted doing that.
And then there's Klaus Schwab's public comments to his Davos brethren that tend to jibe with a lot of the "adjustments" his global reset will usher in, that they need to prepare themselves for a lot of "unhappiness" with everything they are forcing upon the world in the coming months. This is all related to various forms of technocracy they create to build the cattle stalls they expect us to occupy.
Clearly there is a lot of resistance to much of this, and shorting the profits they expect from its implementation could be a window into their confidence level with all of that. One thing I feel confident about is that even if it all blows up in their faces they will simply do as they have always done and just feign defeat and wait out the backlash for a better time, possibly after a couple generations.
Every 100 years or so everything old is new again, and the technocracy they have now has been able to take that number down to about 50 years if they are so motivated to do it.
EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK PREPARING FOR BAIL INS & BANKING COLLAPSE ACCORDING TO WHISTLEBLOWER
https://vaccineimpact.com/2023/european-central-bank-preparing-for-bail-ins-banking-collapse-according-to-whistleblower/
“Bail ins,” as opposed to “bail outs,” are when the banks take money out of accounts on deposit within that bank when a bank does not have enough funds to meet its obligations.
According to this report by Greg Reese and the information from his informant, the playbook for bank bail ins has already been written for Europe, and they are preparing for bank runs.
The inexorable march towards a premeditated engineered banking collapse in the US continues. As usual we will likely be saved for last, the hope being that seeing this happen all over the civilized world first will weaken our resistance and resolve. This is a crucial point to understand in my opinion. This is a GLOBAL plan, so what happens elsewhere should be expected to happen here, just as most other events have thus far. America is a significant prize, they must prepare for the toughest fight they can foresee and that fight will take place... here.
FDIC BANKERS PREPARING FOR BANK RUNS IN THE U.S.

Plenty of evidence here that the guys running the Fed are not just sitting on their hands.
THE FRENCH PENSION WAR
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/french-pension-war
I saw a number of opinion pieces use a photo of millions of people filling the streets of France in protest to imply that it had something to do with covid vaccines. While it is true that some of the biggest vaccine protest marches did occur in France, this particular event was not about vaccines. It was about the raising of the mandatory retirement age by a couple years to 67 in France by that puppet dictator Macron.
If you are wise and follow the work of people like Catherine Austin Fitts, who publishes the Solari Report, and some of her better financial contributors, like John Titus, you understand the arguments they make and support with copious evidence, that moves like this are part of a coordinated effort to reduce the financial burden on central bankers. It is a very cold set of mathematics that demand the steps we see being undertaken in various ways that ultimately seek to reduce the expense of taking care of large populations -- by eliminating them.
If you reduce life expectancy you eliminate debt and financial responsibility. It's really that simple. So we have proxy wars, fake pandemics, vaccine bioweapons, economic terrorism, attacks on food supply, manufactured environmental disasters, weather manipulation, gross financial mismanagement and corruption, election tampering, and all the rest of it. None of this is being addressed responsibly and all of it is being rebranded as the result of climate change. And, you can count on the response to "climate change" following the covid-con playbook.
Fear your food, love your pharmaceuticals, sacrifice is patriotic, hate on your neighbor, the sky is falling, the Earth is dying, blah blah blah… I mean, c'mon, if you actually believe eliminating nitrogen will somehow "save the planet", then you are obviously ignorant about the things the planet needs to support life, and the regulation, taxing and penalizing of farmers over how much nitrogen their supposedly produce or consume, with the intent of reducing that as part of the WEF's absurd Net-Zero policy agenda is actually something they are actively trying to normalize. It is an "Anti-Earth" policy. Climate lockdowns will replace covid lock downs, resources that could be used to address the worlds problems will more and more fall under the control of those who would restrict their use, and so on.
Look, its not all doom and gloom. Nothing is really going on we cannot handle and almost none of what they predict is even real or possible. People are learning this I think. Remember, its NOT true that everyone is stupid. Its NOT true that you don't matter or that people who can see this are overwhelmed or outnumbered. What you must take to heart and believe in is that what you choose DOES matter. It helps their cause and advances their agendas if you believe otherwise, so they paint this picture for you to stare into and conjure the evidence for its validity. The evidence is paper thin. Just poke your finger through any of it and it falls away.
If the sky was falling you would know it. You would have a concussion. But if you fear everything they give you to fear and get all vaxxed up, eat their sludge and bug burritos, and walk around in Greta Thunberg T-shirts, well, do enough of that and all their bogus propaganda might look credible to you.
Its up to you not to be gullible, nobody is going to work very hard to convince you of anything if you insist on being stubborn, even me, but if you choose to be ignorant I and a great many others will still be here when you are long gone. We'll get by without you.
Lonnee interviewed me a while back for her podcast on the topic of Civil Disobedience where I told her how I dealt with the "dumbasses" that tried in vain to enforce covid health policies in various places where I live.

That interview is still the most popular one in her series she told me. So for anyone that enjoyed that, Lonnee's new book will have lots more of the same sort of humor, and like the advice I gave in that interview, provide you with some new and effective ways to deal with dumbasses you meet in your own life.
