Small and probably insignificant story small local groceries network owner told me.
I noticed pears appeared on grocery shelf of exactly same variety that was imported from USA before sanctions madness. And asked grocery owner how did he get them.
USA sanctioned food supply to Russia and Russia sanctioned food import from "unfriendly countries".
Small farming company from USA sold pears to Russia directly. Today it should not possible from both sides.
Recently that USA farmer contacted grocery owner and offer to resume their pears delivery deal, but on the condition of payment in roubles. That was strange and unusual, but grocery owner agreed just because of curiosity and eventually pears appeared in grocery for real.
Long story short (with minimum details to not doxx both parties, sorry). USA farmer opened an account in offshore bank in roubles. All roubles he got from grocery owner for pears he spent on dirt cheap Russian fertiliser and some garden tools. On papers, grocery owner got American pears from offshore, and farmer got fertilizer and tools also from same offshore, which is not under any sanctions. Transactions was in roubles so they was completely out of USA authorities scope.
Of course that trick had some bureaucracy obstacles, but eventually both Russian grocery owner and USA farmer was happy to continue their decades long trade and give a fuck to authorities. And I got American pears. :)
The moral of that story, as I see it is that TPTB are not omnipotent. People who have even a tiny drop of free will will always find a ways to circumvent absolutely anything TPTB could unleash on them. The only danger I see is willingly surrending your God given free will to authorities going fully obedient NPC.
I lived through times when there was literally no any useable cash. Guess what? I survived and even do not account that times as worst. Worst times began when useable cash appeared again and elites began to use it to milk population.
Catastrophe in post-soviet Russia started with insane monetary policies of "strengrthening rouble in exchange to destruction of industry" by Yeltsin thieves guided by IMF, not when cash was unuseable.
So, even if TPTB succed in their single worldwide CBDC plan, that does not mean it will somehow help them to totally control people.
I'm pretty sure people could always give a fuck to any authority. TPTB with CBDC is not an exception.
Seriously, look at them. They are arrogant and ignorant idiots. Dangerous and insane, but still idiots.
Guess, how long would it take for somebody to crack a digital currency made by idiots who know nothing about anything, including digital currency math and algorithms?
More I read and see about TPTB, more I convinced that their real danger is not in all that "smart" crap they try to scare us with, but in their idiocy.
You assume 1984 or Brave new world is not possible. This is a mistake. They can erect an airtight system of control given the technology and the planning they employ. They demonstrated how effective they can be with the coof - almost everyone fell for the psy op the first few weeks and the large majority took the gene shot and asked for more. No matter how good the planning, there always will be dissidents but if they are a small minority they can be dealt with.
I assume it is not possible without willingly accepting it by people.
They obviously are not smart enough to erect anything except their penises. And even latter need some perverted assistance. That is why that bastards destroy everything around instead of erecting any system.
Even totally distopian society need some brain and expirience to be built. Today it needs advanced tech and competent leaders and educated people to run the stuff. That is obviously not a case today.
However, idiots trying to build some distopia are more dangerous in short run than smart villains. Overall, idiors trying to do absolutely anything are dangerous. I think this is the main threat of modern TPTB, not their scary plans they will inevitably fail to implement. Because they are idiots.
They was not effective even in short run, not even talking about in the long run. Today, even among those who bought their shit at first, many wouldn't give a fuck to their next attempt.
All they got with their coronahoax is some dead bodies and fiat paper in exchange to a huge trust loss.
Look at what happening now with their next toy - H5N2. And think, what they really achieved with their stupid coronahoax - nothing except huge population trust and obedience loss. And their power in that world is based only on trust and obedience.
Where is efficiency you are talking about? If they were smart, then they could easily cull billions of people and the rest still would have been under their medical tyranny. That was not too hard to do, really, for some really smart villains.
By the same logic, small minority of TPTB bastards could be dealt with.
My point is that many people understand threat vector of TPTB in a wrong way. So, attempts to resist or attack them are doomed. It is senseless to throw everything to attack a narrative that will never be implemented as they want due to their incompetence. The strikes should be directed to their real vulnerabilities. Just imagine, if those who opposed coronahoax would have listened to Kary Mullis that Fauci is an idiot many years ago? This could have been spread around even through sheeple. They like to have fun from clowns and dumb idiots. And they remember that better than any regalia. So, if critical thinker listened to Kary Mullis thoroughly, then appearence of Antony "I'm a science" Fauci on public would ended in laught. Like, "Mom, look, here is that Uncle Idiot on the screen make faces to scary us :) :) :)".
Real threat vector from TPTB is combination of their idiocy and power people give them. Exposing their arrogance, ignorance and idiocy will destroy their power. Nobody will obey clowns.
Whole tragicomedy of clown world existence comes from the simple fact that people do not percieve stupid clowns as they are. Really, I didn't saw any memes with, say Soros shitting his pants, or doing clown things. Or with Rothshild, or with Rockfeller. People make them powerful villains by themselves, scaring each other with them. Why?
More than 80% of the "free people of the west" got an experimental gene therapy - is that not effective in your book?
I can't understand how sane people can look at the world today and still deny tptb are effective and their social engineering, cultural and economical plans work out. Is it lack of knowledge of history, of economics, of insight? Or just the result of slow-boiling the frogs? You see some battles being won while the war, spanning hundreds of years is being lost and you call that a victory?
I don't even have to go to the cultural degradation to make the argument - a quick glance at the economy, the control of money and the distribution of wealth and resources would suffice. The easiest example would be house (in)affordability, enormous debt, tax cucking and wageslavery ("of course women need to wagecuck and pay taxes too, don't be a bigot now, goy"). People are enslaved under an international usury system, but that was not always the case. It took several revolutions, two world wars and many jewish subversion to get us to this point. You don't make a banking empire and subjugate all the nations by being inept and stupid - those people are Machiavellian genius technocrats.
And only, say 10% of that 80% got some serious issues. I do not account 10% of "success" as "efficient".
Also, there is unknown how many of that 80% just bribed nurses or faked vaccine paper other way.
TPTB crime is not in amount of injured. TPTB crime is in intention to harm people. If a serial killer who plan to kill thousands could kill only one victim, it does not make any excuse for him. He is still serial killer with all consequences.
If they was really effective and completent, you would have assume things happening as normal and sincerely want them this way. If you are able to see all that insanity you talk about - this is the best proof TPTB are incompetent idiots.
Technical experts have designed it.
Those like "medical experts" we already observed in their full greed and incompetence?
No. Those were liars trotted out to sell product.
The people I'm talking about are experts in the fields needed to create a digital currency.
"expert" today is a synonym to "incompetent clown". It was not Fauci clown who worked on gain-of-function and it was not Bourla who created not-a-vaccine. It was another clowns who studied in woke universities and failed with making something really dangerous.
