The global bankers who run the world see fit to hold the world hostage to the threat of nuclear destruction, if they don't get their way. You can't get any more childish or psychopathic than that. The worst part is that so many people think that mutual deterrence is the solution. The end result of that tactic is an ever increasing military budget.
They can't even audit the US Department of Defense. So, no more budget. They're looting what's left, as they start doling out debt obligations, payable by the populace, if repayment is even possible. The system will not last much longer.
However, the system requires the cooperation of the populace. And the controllers have declared for themselves, a monopoly on the use or threat of use force. This is the true origin of fascism: use of the fasci: a bundle of staves around a central axe. That axe was the king's axe, and the staves were those of the royal gaurd. It is government by force, in whatever other garb it cloaks the iron fist.
The alternative is cooperation, so the controllers need the people to feel isolated, with no sense of community. In their ignorance and betrayed by their own paraniia, their greatest spy network was made available to the masses.
In the early days of personal computers, the inexpensive, omnipresent Commodore 64 was being used to run bulletin board systems that usually contained files for downloading and a message board. There were too many of them for Govzilla to monitor, so they created America Online, which was just a massive bullrtin board system. Eventually, they had to allow more direct access to handle the amount of traffic that was developing.
The plan backfired because they underestimated the ingenuity of the people, and the controllers haven't figured out a way to stop many of the systems that replace the current distribution system, which will suffer from strikes, shortages and protests. Among other disruptors, crytocurrencies threaten their entire phony money system, and they are way behind in the race to change over to all digital currency.
The most direct approach most people should be looking into right now is addressing their needs: food, clothing and shelter. They,ve been warning of power interruptions for some time now, without expanding power generating capacity. A good time to consider what it akes to keep your shelter ready for utility outages.
Finding a local farmers’ market and learnjng to barter will probably be quite valuable. The key is to get a networkvto take care of your community needs. Time to get to know your neighbors. Humanity has been held captive.for far too long if enough people get this started, the transition to a new, decentralized supply system that the banksters will not be able to control.
