I once accepted as absolute and incontrovertible, the idea that the one and only true power of government is to create, enable and promote the ideological and material conditions which undergird the human psychology of fear. This is a view articulated by Robert Higgs, Charles Tilly, and, before them, Lewis Mumford in chapter 8, “Kings as Prime Movers”, in his classic The Myth of the Machine, volume 1. How else can the phenomenon of living and interacting in groups, which produces the emergence of human personality in its creative individuality, so that the group may consciously be created by individuals, exist without the fear of isolation from which most recoil, but which yet others regard as a test and confirmation of their individual personality? As David Icke has repeatedly asserted, fascist and tyrannical government in all its forms has only ever been arrested in human history where/when individuals of conscience rise to say “No!”. It may well be that whatever else governments may do to cultivate fear, it may be as I noted in Parts 1 and 2 of my blog post “Coviditarianism” that there may be good evolutionary reasons why the individual personality of some is so strong that no amount of fear-mongering by the group, or later the State and its government, can dissuade such individuals from insisting freedom irrespective of deprivation, isolation and torture. 

While I remain persuaded that States exist to make war as much as governments wage war on the nation through fear is as true as it ever was, but now, largely with David Icke’s analogy that there are 8 billion of us and not more of them than can sit in an auditorium, I see the original thesis as incomplete and partial. Yes, again, it remains true, as Robert Higgs points out, that

The people who have the effrontery to rule us, who call themselves our government, understand this basic fact of human nature. They exploit it, and they cultivate it. Whether they compose a warfare state or a welfare state, they depend on it to secure popular submission, compliance with official dictates, and, on some occasions, affirmative cooperation with the state’s enterprises and adventures. Without popular fear, no government could endure more than twenty-four hours.

For his part, Tilly makes a convincing case that States and the governments that manage them capture authority, the presumed right to rule and to which a dis/unarmed and heavily propaganized mass concede, are running a protection racket. It goes like this: by virtue of monopolizing force, the State and its government charge a rent to the masses for their ‘protection’ from other marauders. It is not a little matter beside that government is itself the chief threat to the well-being of the people to whom it offers its ‘protection’. Tilly asserts that

Governments’ provision of protection, by this standard, often qualifies as racketeering. To the extent that the threats against which a given government protects its citizens are imaginary or are consequences of its own activities, the government has organized a protection racket. Since governments themselves commonly simulate, stimulate, or even fabricate threats of external war and since the repressive and extractive activities of governments often constitute the largest current threats to the livelihoods of their own citizens, many governments operate in essentially the same ways as racketeers. There is, of course, a difference: Racketeers, by the conventional definition, operate without the sanctity of governments.

But, if it is so true that the political class retains its authority to govern through the propagation of fear, why is not the obverse also true: that those in government fear an awakened and conscious mass of people? Is this not how and why people in government hide their impotence and predatory nature behind the mass psychology of fear? Why else did the CIA and Pentagon (i.e., US government) fund the pioneering researches the likes of Pavlov devotees such as Hobart Mowrer, B.F. Skinner, Stanley Milgram, José Delgado and operationalize MK Ultra and a host of other mind-control and fear-inducing programs? Obviously with the CoVID-1984 psy-op as the most diabolical plot ever yet conceived in the history of humanity, one in which Canada, Germany and UK governments also rolled out their own psy-op programs, we can see the fruition of so many hard decades of work to keep the people off-balance through fear!

Banksters and government fear of the people

So why else, besides David Icke am I thinking more holistically about governments’ fear of their own people? Obviously when Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland in 2022 a) froze the money that Canadians sent to the Trucker Freedom Convoy through Go Fund Me and then Give Send Go, b) with the complicity of the banks ‘de-banking’ both convoy organizers and doners and c) invoked the Emergencies Act, the stench of the government’s fear of the people was overpowering – naked to all. Canadians reacted in horror and began pulling their money out of the banks, and, I do not think that the slow run on the banks has ceased. Especially with, as I show below citing David Webb and ‘insider’ documents, the fear of the globalist banksters is that their debt-based fiat, derivative over-leveraged, financialization of everything is about to the collapse; so, if they are not to lose control of everything, they must hasten the collapse, to, on their terms, ‘take everything’! Where does the State and government come in? It was the State that nurtured and protected big capital with the launch of Western Europe’s colonial and imperial adventures starting in the 16^th century.

In showing that he is prepared to emulate “the basic dictatorship of China” and it’s social credit system, here and here, Trudeau, lackey of the WEF, exposed the globalists fear of an awakening consciousness among the people that their government is their enemy. Indeed, it was the Cold War warrior, Zbigniew Brzezinski who let the cat out of the bag, leaving no mistake of panic among the globalists:

…[M]ajor world powers, new and old, also face a novel reality: while the lethality of their military might is greater than ever, their capacity to impose control over the politically awakened masses of the world is at a historic low. To put it bluntly: in earlier times, it was easier to control one million people than to physically kill one million people; today, it is infinitely easier to kill one million people than to control one million people. That insight bears directly on the use of force, particularly by societies that are culturally alien even if technologically superior. As a result, in the current post-colonial era, it is too costly to undertake colonial wars. That is a reality some recent American policy-makers failed to assimilate, to America’s detriment.

David Webb’s The Great Taking, which can be watched here and the PDF found here, exposes not only that the fascist alliance between government and business that seeks to take-down the global economy and ‘take everything’ through legal chicanery that is in place to  permit the “preferred class” of “market participants” to make ‘whole’ their losses from a massive derivatives market that dwarfs the world economy by 10 to 15 times, and counting! In plain speak, this is a planned ‘bail-in’ on steroids!!! 

Webb does not mention this, but the big ‘institutional’ players, having learned their lesson from the collapse of Barings Bank by a trader, Nick Leeson, who was given tacit permission by his managers, lost the whole kit-and-caboodle of a bank that, like the insurance company Lloyd’s of London and Nathan Mayer Rothschild, made its money on the transatlantic slave trade. My references to slavery is NOT here gratuitous! If people allow globalist bankster’s fear of losing everything to go without challenge, not least when through government collusion to bring onstream Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), they will be permitted to ‘take everything’, unless from our ‘cold dead hands’.

As described by Webb the scheme for a planned demolition of the global economy will be a repeat, but on a global scale of the confected stock-market crash of 1929, followed by FDR’s totalitarian confiscation of the people’s gold and silver, and, the refusal of the Federal Reserve to ease the credit and liquidity crisis which it, this consortium of private bankers who by way of deception created the Federal Reserve in 1913 and took over the printing of the nation’s money, caused devastation in the United States. Interestingly, Webb describes that aim of this planned demolition was the concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands by concentrating bank ownership in fewer and fewer hands, without a jubilee for the masses of the people who remained stuck with their debts, while the banks took their assets. It is driven by fear of the reality that the fiction of fiat, debt-based, currency is at the end of its life, that especially Western liberal democratic governments (and China) have launched what Webb describes as a hybrid war (e.g., lawfare, proxy kinetic, financial, chemical and pharma-biological, propaganda and censorship etc). 

Central Bank Digital Currency, after everything has been taken, again from our cold dead hands, will be offered along with a guaranteed income to everyone but the .01% and their toadies who either own or control everything. In a brilliantly detailed bit of investigative journalism at Corey’s Digs, it is shown how both a space-based control grid and the regulation and control of independent crypto currencies and block chain technology will be necessary to achieve the aims of the globalists. The article shows that out of fear their opportunity for full-spectrum dominance may be lost to an awakened humanity, the globalists are moving at break-neck speed to put the architecture of digital slavery in place. 

While the Rockefeller “Lockstep” scenario was in full effect in Canada, this report Canada and the Digitalization of Money: Key Takeaways from a Virtual Workshop of International and Canadian Experts emerged in October 21, 2021. There are some ‘gems’ of dissembling, half-truths, outright lies and intellectual gymnastics in the report couched as ‘advantageous to clients’, ‘competition’, ‘technological innovation’, ‘guard rails to protect the public’ and ‘public good’ and fear mongering hype about Canada ‘falling behind’etc. But a few important ‘takeaways’ (no pun intended caught my attention) relevant to their fear and irresponsibility. 

First, affirming the truth of Richard Werner’s empirical demonstration that (97% of money in circulation) is created out of thin air by banks and other lenders, the report makes much blather about “sovereign nations” and “national sovereignty”, sustained by the claim that “…money is at the core of national sovereignty”. Yet, the fact that money, or at least 97% of it, is created by national and global central banks and commercial lenders, is flatly contradicted in the report by the refreshing bit of honesty that “…most money today is private (for example, created by commercial banks) yet publicly backed through central banks, regulation and other policy instruments such as deposit insurance”. This can only be read as governments guaranteeing financial corruption and malfeasance with the tax-based debt slavery of citizens. So, what can go wrong? Well, to avoid the fear that they, “market participants”, will bear the burden of their organized racketeering, we are told that “A CBDC could be issued in the same marketplace, as necessary, to fill in gaps and to correct for market failures”. What’s this? “…correct for market failures”!

Second, the fears of governments, finance ministries, experts and “market participants” is reframed and placed onto the public: “In advancing digitalization, risks will have to be taken, and in the words of some workshop participants, some things will get broken; that is the reality of keeping up with a fast-paced world” (note: I have added emphasis). By effectively placing all risks that large “market participants” ought to bear on the public instead, their fear is neutralized, but remains real nonetheless. To continue to offset their fear from the risks that the banksters will take, we are told, “Risks in making policy choices may be mitigated by creating space for innovation (for example, regulatory sandboxes), and by allowing controlled experiments with new market or regulatory structures” (note: I have added emphasis). What I believe is being said here is that, as noted by David Webb, they are planning a controlled demolition of the global economy, and, CBDC’s are crucial to the planned theft of everything.

Finally, the fear of banksters and the irresponsibility of government comes together around crypto currencies. For the “public good”, we are told that there is a need to regulate crypto currencies: 

the world of cryptocurrencies resembles a “Wild West,” where large gains, but also large losses, may be realized. The potential for use or abuse of new platforms for money laundering or illicit activity is real. The misuse of personal data in the delivery of financial and ancillary services, and vulnerability to cyberattacks, can compromise privacy and security on a large scale. Absent competition and contestability, economic concentration facilitated by network effects and data capture will pose unacceptable risks.

So, what is the problem if consumers want to take the risk with the “Wild West” of unregulated crypto currencies? We are supposed to believe that “market failures” in this context would simply be too painful for investors. But the truth is in the pudding:

…digital money raises the question of who intermediates. Currently, our system relies mainly on banks and selected institutions with access to the account of a central bank and funding facilities to enable transactions among economic agents. This is a major source of revenue for banks and a highly profitable business. Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized ledgers that enable direct and instantaneous transactions, including settlement and clearing, between market participants.

What banksters and governments fear

 We have in the example of Nigeria good reason to resist CDBCs. At present the vast number of Canadians responding to a Bank of Canada survey on CBDCs want nothing to do with what is clearly, to them, a tool for control and theft of their money. When in 2022 former Attorney General and Justice Minister David Lametti off-handedly responded to a question about seizing the assets of Russians in Canada, he said “You don’t have an absolute right to private property in Canada”. So who is the “You”? Russian nationals or Canadians? Well Russian Nationals first, then Canadians next. The fix is in for us to “own nothing and be happy”. The cat has been let out the bag. They want everything and for us to have nothing. What stands in their way? Fear that human awakening is not only national, but global. Pascal Najadi, Swiss former banker and whose father co-founded the WEF, here and here asserts, the time of the globalists is up: they have failed to take control, but have succeeded at “democide” (the mass killing of humanity). David Martin asserts that the criminal racketeering of the WHO and the UN is now fully exposed. Meryl Nass has shown the machinations of the WHO to usurp national sovereignty is being turned back and over because awakening members of the legal community have now become the hunters. In the name of maintaining a criminal enterprise governments and globalists have attacked humanity. The awesome toll is unfolding. But, if fear is the game of governments, banksters and globalists in this scorched-earth hybrid war, a reckoning is at hand because the rats have no where to run.

Strategies 

Some believe we are too far gone to stop CBDCs. I do not think so! In no particular order, here are 15 things I think you should consider doing to be and feel empowered in a community of free peoples:

1. Educate yourself, but also others who may not know, or, if they do, think they are immune from the risks to personal and national sovereignty due to digital money and digital ID: i) your municipal, provincial and federal politicians; ii) liaison at your bank/credit union or mortgage broker; iii) your pension fund manager; and, any other official you can think of:
