"Make it make sense." Be careful what you ask for. This analysis by @npub1546j...f9mt is the closest thing to making the high frequency narrative flip flop on the part of the American regime and news media make sense, in my opinion. As Simon points out in the few minutes around 33:50, this is not a war of nation vs nation. It is purely a war of rebalancing of world polarity and asset-stripping capability sharing between the three powers: the Financial Industrial Complex, China (as the dominant power) in cooperation with the Military Industrial Complex, and the Technological Industrial Complex, all of whom's goal is to asset strip the West and humanity in general, usher in an inescapable physical and financial surveillance state, and continue to create theatrical conflicts with real deaths and destruction to keep the military industrial complex fed. Looking at this as a war of nation vs nation for the first handful of weeks is the reason why my brain couldn't make sense of the constantly conflicting headlines. All of our governments are now puppets to corporations, the largest asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. It's why a vote for a leader in any western, supposedly democratic country hasn't mattered for over 50 years. It's the reason why despite who is office, the same agendas we are resisting continue marching on. It's why none of the actions of the countries involved in this conflict have made sense for more than 24 hours at a time. The countries are all in bed together at the behest of the real power, the corporations. It behooves all of us to give some serious thought to how to live outside of the current financial system so we can still live and conduct trade when the INDIVIDUAL sanctions start coming down on those who won't accept things like digital ID and biomedical ID's and social credit score based transaction ability. Build local community and communications capabilities. Acquire assets that can be transacted without third parties. And to as great a degree as possible, diversify your income streams to span things that can earn you value "in the system", as well as things that can't be taken away. It is easier said than done, particularly for those of us who are/were already somewhat trapped before coming to this stark realization. But it is the only possible escape for you and your offspring.
