"You know, macroeconomics can be likened to a large animal. An elephant or rhinoceros. It may long stay patient, pestered by flies, mosquitos and birds. Such a giant is too lazy to react to every trivial thing, but there comes a certain point when it may lose temper, get up and shake it shoulders causing everyone to run helter-skelter, and vanish in an instant. The same goes for macroeconomics. It is very hard to tear down the current trend, but if it starts to budge, whole system may go out of control. Nobody knows when this may happen, it could occur at any moment…." ~ Herman Gref, CEO of Sberbank
By Catherine Austin Fitts
The Saker joins me this week to discuss the continued deterioration in U.S.-Iran relations, including the U.S. assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani and the broader implications of U.S. assassination policies. We also discuss the impact of impeachment politics on Ukraine and the continuing decline in Ukraine's society and economy. Finally, we touch on Russia's government reorganization—described in the Saker's recent piece, The new Russian government: a much needed evolution but not a revolution—as well as the extraordinary and baffling capitulation of the U.S. Administration to Israeli interests.
In Let's Go to the Movies, I will review The Russian Five. This fascinating documentary tells the true story of Russian immigrants who became American heroes, ice hockey teammates who became family, and the scrappy, resilient city of Detroit—together they became Stanley Cup Champions, twice. Imagine a world where people of different nations help each other become excellent. It is possible.
On a different note. You talked about the difficulty of assessing black budget weapons systems. I happened to see this charming presentation. Cannot vouch for it though. https://fedgeno.com/documents/future-strategic-issues-and-warfare.pdf
The end conclusion may relate to the super traceable system that is about to set in.
From the local scene. A presentation made by Cecilia Skinhsley, currently #2 at Riksbanken. She is on record stating that our krona was on the brink of losing public confidence 2008. Also, seems we are slated to be among the Guinean pigs. https://www.riksbank.se/globalassets/media/tal/engelska/skingsley/2019/money-payments-and-digitalisation.pdf
Sorry to pester you again.
A key element to the new world order is Identification. We see the ID2020 vaccination and the biochip schemes. Both ideologically inspired.
Here is another, I believe, more benign take on the matter and the one that is about to become implemented. https://www.global.id/about/
Why? You cannot have assets without somehow attributing ownership.
How? Using crypto, there is a way to ascertain validity without revealing any of the underlying data. You only get a True/False reply to your question. It appears to me that the above employs such tech. It is used also for the digital asset VeChain.
As best I can make out, the take is not to hinder other ways while providing alternatives.
About VeChain
https://changelly.com/blog/what-is-vechain-vet/
The really interesting part is that proper and sound use of this kind of system can turn the table on old powers.
A new world order, not just exactly the kind some of them had in mind.
That said, Agenda 2030 seem to be in there in the form of environment certificates and trade thereof. I am not so sure it is benign, The new money laundering scheme?
Claes:
Have not yet had time to read all your posts – will do so and respond individually.
Here are some general comments about the debate raging around Crypt0.
The challenge is that all digital systems have no security or integrity. The people who control centrally control the hardware of both wires and wireless – and the electricity that runs it. In addition, their technology to compromise the integrity of the data and software on the hardware is significantly beyond what almost all users understand or can appreciate. Our world is full of brilliant, excited, positive developers and crypt0 traders who really believe their custodian systems and blockchains are secure. The notion is absurd once you dig in and look at the way the systems work individually and collectively. But you need to spend a great deal of time understanding and experiencing the control systems to understand it.
The owners of the central banks and related intelligence agencies are free to operate above the law which ultimately gives them near complete control of people who are managing and dealing with any of these systems. So the machinery is not immune to compromise and the people managing/implementing it are not immune to compromise either. The result is phenomenally insecure systems that can be controlled centrally.
As a result no 100% digital system has integrity.
In this environment, replacing existing currencies with an all digital system, IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER THINGS HAPPENING, is the end of currency and the implementation of a slavery system. It is imperative to look at what is happening on an integrated basis – currencies, digital transaction systems, biophysics, nanotechnology, global spraying, vaccines, entrainment and mind control, and global ID system etc. Also important to understand the history of slavery – why it was outlawed and why digital systems solve the problems that inspired the outlawing.
While I find it interesting to look at the details of different Crypt0 systems, at some point exploring the details of slavery system or helping Mr. Global develop his prototypes is not the most inspiring use of my time.
As I said, will look at an respond individually as time permits.

I call it the Databeast. The people who have access to the underlying data on a centralized basis can and will use it to skim and harvest the people in it. Way it is. The recognition and respect for an asset is a matter of law – for most assets it must be enforced locally. The ruse that it can be handled digitally would be a brilliant way of destroying the integrity of the local systems. This is an essential step to slavery.
Hi
I do not disagree with your analysis. Indeed, what you write is possible, perhaps even the more probable. Then again, the reverse may happen as well. The latter, admittedly naively assumes the powers that be to voluntarily let go of control or, perhaps things getting gaslighted past watchful eyes.
Whatever we get, it is happening and we will just have to figure out which way things fly.
My guess, to gain acceptance, it has to be sold in a benign shape. The danger lies a generation or two ahead as the possibility to corrupt is there and time to do so is abundant.
Just my 2 cents
Please do not feel pressured to respond. I have spent months digging into this topic so I am well aware of it taking time to absorb, though I assume you will be able to do so way faster than I did as I started out as a pure techie guy with some cash in pocket looking for some place to stick it in case things go awry.
About the data beast. It will omnipotent.
The setup allows pseudo anonymous interaction, ie the lid can get lifted and will be lifted when motivated. This can cut both ways.
So, I suppose the question boils down to – who watches the watchmen and who controls them?
My observation is that Mr Global as you call it is changing shape. A new power balance is about to present itself. This will,likely clean out old chaff and settle some old scores. On this you are much better equipped than I am to judge what is coming.
Last.
For currency, X denotes no nation. Gold is XAU. XRP would be X Ripple.
The core XRP inventor is a Ryan Fugger. Do not know if he ties to the Fugger or not. He left early on.
XLM (Stellar Lumens) is a split from Ripple. Apparently, there was a row of some kind that lead to this split. The Stellar ceo who worked with Ryan is stated to have family ties to the FED.
At least some of the core inventors at a ripple claim to anarchist. Then again, anyone with intimate knowledge into crypto does not come with a history just from Sunday school.
We will just have to wait and see.

This Mme Lagarde keynote is quite informative
https://youtu.be/7aCy_A0CIbc
Mme Lagarde describes herself as an owl, ie neither dove, nor hawk. Make of this what you will, but there is symbolism in this statement.
http://www.pure-spirit.com/more-animal-symbolism/400-owl
Here is Trond. He used to be a communist and was active in the Norwegian stortinget. He is defending his thesis at the feeble age of 72.

I have a feeling we all are getting his system. If so, this may point at a benign system as I would have a hard time seeing a character like him designing something nasty at its root core. The big fish has the time required to wait to get what it wants.
That said, some Immediate scams are intertwined therein – of course.
To clarify, in the upcoming system. Not in Trond’s work.

You can probably get a lot more out of the symbolisms in them than I am able. The integrated ID is in there if only for a split second.

Here is an Outline
https://cofinaeventos.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Blockchain-Technology-Adoption-in-Finance-Isaac.pdf
Early adopters seem to be
Canada, Sweden, Singapore, a Switzerland and Uruguay.
I reside in Sweden. We are about to get an eKrona. Looks like it will run in the XRPL.
Norway will be early on testing VeChain, for road and environmental tax is my guess.
The ECB task force on eCurrency will conclude 2020Q2. It is headed by Benoit Coure.
There is a bill out for a US Treasury Note. It was submitted 27 th March.
It is happening,
Yes. It is happening. The theory is that we should trust a new system designed and brought to us by the people who destroyed the last system to harvest with criminality and usury. IMO any all digital system in such a paradigm has zero integrity. I appreciate it may make money for the early adapters.
About the conclusion I arrive at as well. It may be corrupt to its core. It may be benign, if so it may get corrupt with time.
It has been hinted at since 1987 when the Economist announced the rise of the Phoenix.
Doubt it can be avoided.
The new rip off may be much larger than FED or BoJ being private. It involves agenda 2030.
The new situation is a mix of nations, new players, like China, BRICS, AIIB and so on. The old players no longer get to determine s all the rules. Hence the level playing field expression.
Claes:
Do you know why they chose XRPL?
Also, any idea how the ECB task force relates to the BIS task force?
What do you mean, there is a bill out for a US Treasury note?
Thanks!

Reading Moon of Alabama, the Saker and similar, I understood the US shifting position in the world, hence, the usd shifting use as reserve currency.
The above combined with me having liquid assets lead me into investigating PM and thereafter DLT.
Real politics, energy, environment, power balance and the monetary system all ties together.
To me, this suggests that a Jalta 2.0 quitedly has been held a while back, later to surface as a Mar a Lago accord.
I believe that DLT and smart contracts will be a driving force in the upcoming fourth industrial revolution.
US % of reserve currency is still very high. Has not dropped that much as a result of insecurity about Euro.
Correction, xrp and xlm are referred to as bridge currencies.
Also, there is a proposal on how to convert xrp to a so called stable coin.
XRP should have a low volatility to be effective in serving as a bridge currency. Pegging major currencies and xrp (eSDR) to gold or a bag of PM would solve this.
For what it is worth.
Following Mme Lagarde’s key note speeches from 2014 an on and using Gematria – she is quite clear in her use thereof, she states
1. A new world currency
2. Bretton Woods
3. Five chosen. Ethereum, XRP, XLM, VeChain, ATOM.
4. Buy XRP
5. The upcoming IPO (Ripple) may create a whole new class of millionaires.
Central Bankers claim
A. Financial inclusiveness
B. Eradicate corruption
C. Efficiency – 24/7/365, remittance cost slashed from 7% to less than a penny
Jim Rickards hints at an upcoming Mar a Lago accord. Central Banks and large banks have been accumulating precious metals. The IMF has a patent for secure and confidential communication inside the distributed ledgers of Ethereum and XRP (XRPL, XRP is the asset). The Ripple invented Inter Ledger Protocol (ISO 20020) is the interface between all currencies and assets. It will be also the Web 3.0 (Internet of Value) protocol. Assets will be tagged. All of it appears slated to be registered in the XRPL. Codius is the new Ripple platform for smart contracts, which is quite clever, as it allows use of common computer languages rather than the specials offered by alternatives.
Trond Andresen’s thesis defence can be found on YouTube. It is well worth watching. Trond simulates economical systems using Cybernetics. He shows how a stable financial system is created. One part thereof is having a strong trade currency combined with a domestic fiat currency.
The above suggests to me that the IMF SDR will ‘merge’ with XRP to create an eSDR. XRP is believed to become pro money, while XLM is believed to be people’s money. Both serve as exchange currencies as they are effective at interacting with ILP.
Ethereum is Turing complete, i.e. it is the os, the cpu, the hdd, the net work as well as the apps. It seems poised to replace the Web 2.0 dns with the Eth DLT, see the Ethereum Naming Service.
VeChain interacts with products. It is a centrally controlled coin (two actually).
ATOM is a staking coin. It can do strange things. It can serve as a router for digital asset flows. It can move an asset type A into the DLT of asset type B.
W3c (web 3.0) requires your wallet to be part of and active in your browser. The wallet never turns off.
Just my 2 cents
Very much appreciate the insight. Will spend more time on this now. None of this IMO is currency. But they are transactional control systems.
True, none are legal tender – yet.
All it takes for this to change, according to a central banker, is for one country to adopt a digital asset as currency. It can then be shifted into the IMF SDR currency basket.
Control systems go way back if a prof Hudson is to be believed
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2018/04/michael-hudson-origins-money-interest-palatial-credit-not-barter.html
Yes, distinct impression that Lagarde is pushing Ripple. Need to spend more time looking at VeChain and ATOM. Thanks.
Howdy Catherine
Excellent point about both sides of the impeachment players having dual citizenships.
Got a question for you to ask Saker next time you have a discussion. With his connections with many contacts in Russia including military does he have any information on the UFO phenomenon from their government point of view?
Has there been any official announcements on the matter? Any discussions on future disclosure? Any detailed & documented UFO sightings and encounters?
What does Saker think? Does he have an opinion?
Are they visitors? Do they represent evidence for other dimensions beyond spacetime? Maybe they don’t come from ordinary space, but from a multiverse that surrounds us. Maybe the UFO phenomenon is another control system for humans. Genetic experiments with humans? Or are they a product of Russian engineering?
Does the Russian government have underground facilities?
Many Russians & slavic people believe in a folklore called “Demovoys” which are protective house spirits.
Many the UFOs are just modern day folklore. What is interesting in many different culture folklore stories is the humans who encounter “beings” experience the same reactions as those who experience the “little space people”.
There all kinds of folklore stories of human encounters with fairies, dwarfs, winged creatures, elves, hairy beings that experience distortion of time & space, deep emotional reaction, paralyzed, headaches, levitation, trouble with sleeping, messages in head and even receiving marks or scars on their bodies.
Most people don’t integrate the red button problem. Of course once you sit in the oval office you learn it in 24 hours or you die.
I understand the difficulty critiquing Israel. I have attempted talking to a few trusted fairly well informed people. I get the same blank stare and I am accused of being anti Semitic. Some even say the Israelis are “God Chosen People “.
I also feel sad. I’ve witnessed the destruction these factions are capable of first hand. First , my home town , then my home county and 4 of the surrounding counties. I have also watched Seattle being destroyed. Now the Seattle cancer is spreading to nearly all countries on the 1-5 corridor. Its moving rapidly devouring neighborhoods, particularly in Opportunity Zones. Where contrary to the stated aim of uplifting low income families, most are being displaced.
God is my Governor is brilliant.
well said.
Mind control is forever baffling to me.
And…God does not need what we have lost to bless us.
🙂

I loved your point to Saker on Israel :”If anyone goes against Israel they need to be secured in a bunker.”
Exactly right.
All political analysis needs to have the point factored into their equation. Doesn’t matter who is “president,”
Bernie, Trump, Obama, whoever, unless the conversation includes an unelected power above the highest office of the land we’re just running in circles.
Yup. Let go the centralized systems and stop financing them where they break the law and we make progress.
I know Saker is a knowledgable and experienced man. Sometimes he can be aloof to certain factors. His comment, “if Trump was patriotic he would do it.”
Look, I am not saying Trump is a savior but if your family is being attacked and your life is on the line while being publicly assaulted 24/7 for over 3 years what does anyone do…? Let’s see if Saker can do it.
Catherine you are in a tiny minority of people who can turn this ship around.
You have the governmental experience
You have DEEP knowledge on how the money works
You have first hand experience dealing with the deep state tactics
You’ve faced the beast and lived to tell about it
and if asked you wouldn’t go back to DC.
I’m all for holding Trump’s feet to the fire. He’s promised a lot.
Saying he’s not patriotic, I don’t think so. He had a very nice life before being president.
