The "Build Back Better" crew has plans for you
A week ago, I started a thread in reaction to a California energy provider alerting citizens of the state to conserve energy due to the potential for rolling blackouts caused by grid stress. This alert comes on the heels of the state idiotically decommissioning reliable natural gas and nuclear power plants without a plan to replace that power generation. From there, I attempted to paint a picture of the dystopian future we may be barreling toward if humanity doesn't wake up and begin to push back against the growing trend of Authoritarianism around the world.

Many may read the thread and think, "You're f'in crazy Uncle Marty. This is way too paranoid and it will never happen." A very typical response received when one attempts to warn people about the increasing erosion of civil liberties and individual sovereignty.

However, all one needs to do to realize that this isn't some paranoid conspiracy theory, but in fact the future those in power want to usher in is to listen to what those in power say. They will say all of these things directly to your face and there's proof further down the thread.   
Here you have Agustin Carstens, head of the Bank of International Settlements, openly admitting that the advantage of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will be that complete control that central banks have over them. 

"The central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability. And also, we will have the technology to enforce that."

If a product like this ever comes to market and is forced on the global populace, some of the scenarios described in the thread above will be made 100% possible. This is the beauty of the wizardry those in power use to force their agenda on the rest of us, they say all of these things nonchalantly out in the public and get the media to parrot their dumb ideas while ridiculing and lambasting valid dissent that attempts to point out how this will lead to an Authoritarian hellscape. This may come off as crass, but most people are docile sheep who only believe authority figures and they will take everything they say hook, line and sinker and willingly prance into the Digital Panopticon being erected for them.

Here are some more of their plans and posturing:   
Monitoring text messages to stop the spread of "misinformation". Forced experimental vaccinations to participate in society. Ministries that are the only arbiters of "Truth". CBDCs that can be completely controlled thrust on you.

This is how the power structure wants to Build Back Better™. Does any of this seem better to you, freak?
Final thought...

Took longer than expected to cool down the house yesterday. Lesson learned.

Enjoy your weekend, freaks.
