Techno-Feudalism
With $100 billion, nearly anything can be bought
Modern man believes in the might of technology, of the machine, and sometimes it would seem, that this is the one thing, in which he still believes. And there seems to be a very serious basis for his optimism in this regard. The dizzying successes of technology in our epoch is a genuine marvel of the sinful natural world. Man is shaken and crushed by the might of technology, making all his life topsy-turvy. Man himself has created it, it is the product of his genius, of his reason, of his inventiveness, it is a child of the human spirit. Man has succeeded in unlocking secret powers of nature and using them for his own ends, of introducing a teleological principle into the activity of mechanical-physical-chemical powers. But to master the results of his work man has not succeeded. Technology has come to seem more powerful than man himself, it subjugates him to itself. Technology is the sole sphere of the optimistic faith of man, his greatest achievement. But it brings man, however, much grief and disappointment, it enslaves man, it weakens his spiritualness, it threatens him with ruin. The crisis of our time is to a remarkable degree begotten by technology, which man lacks the strength to deal with. And this crisis is first of all a spiritual one.

But the middle class, considered the backbone of the economy, has been progressively eroded since the 1970s. The one-two punch of the Great Recession and what the IMF has called the “Great Lockdown” has again reduced much of the population to indentured servitude; while industrial capitalism has largely been displaced by “finance capitalism,” in which money makes money for those who have it, “in their sleep.” As economist Michael Hudson explains, unearned income, not productivity, is the goal. Corporations take out cheap 1% loans, not to invest in machinery and production, but to buy their own stock earning 8% or 9%; or to buy out smaller corporations, eliminating competition and creating monopolies. Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis explains that “capital” has been decoupled from productivity: businesses can make money without making profits on their products. As Kevin Cahill described the plight of people today in a book titled Who Owns the World?:
These latter day pharaohs, the planet owners, the richest 5% – allow the rest of us to pay day after day for the right to live on their planet. And as we make them richer, they buy yet more of the planet for themselves, and use their wealth and power to fight amongst themselves over what each possesses – though of course it’s actually us who have to fight and die in their wars.
The 2020 Knockout Punch
The final blow to the middle class came in 2020. Nick Hudson, co-founder of a data analytics firm called PANDA (Pandemics, Data and Analysis), argued in an interview following his keynote address at a March 2021 investment conference:
Lockdowns are the most regressive strategy that has ever been invented. The wealthy have become much wealthier. Trillions of dollars of wealth have been transferred to wealthy people. … Not a single country did a cost/benefit analysis before imposing these measures.
Policymakers followed the recommendations of the World Health Organization, based on predictive modeling by the Imperial College London that subsequently proved to be wildly inaccurate. Later studies have now been done, at least some of which have concluded that lockdowns have no significant effects on case numbers and that the costs of lockdowns substantially outweigh the benefits, in terms not just of economic costs but of lives.

WEF 4th Industrial Revolution – Profits = Purpose: 5th and 6th Already Defined
‘We are already well entrenched in the 4th Industrial Revolution, so much so that the 5th Revolution is slated to begin implementation in 2023 and take 7 years to be fully integrated. It is summed up by Larry Fink, CEO of Black Rock, “Purpose is not the sole pursuit of profits but the animating force for achieving them. Profits are in no way inconsistent with purpose – in fact, profits and purpose are inextricably linked.”
Today there are 721 Young Global Leaders who have gone thru the tedious straight-jacket training of the World Economic Forum. They are poised to take control when the aged seniors; Klaus, Soros, Brzezinski, Kissinger, etc.. hit the deathbed. There are an additional 109 Global Leaders currently ‘in class’ - including John Tyson of Tyson Foods and various politicians from the US – to Europe - to China. Tyson is the largest US producer of chickens and turkeys and irreverently linked to several odd production fires in the last six months.

Just talked to my wife about it.
We agreed that if 30% of people are easy to hypnotize and 30 percent are not, the monsters chose the wrong 30%! :D
I love your analogy about the fingernails; it accurately describes the way I feel about the wordings.
Thirty percent of people are zombies. Forty percent of the people are followers, lemmings. Still, those who know their limits will settle with "virus" V, because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Still, there might not be enough people with values, integrity, and a sense of independence (some people call it freedom the way I mean it) to prevail. Non-compliance would have solved the problem at the beginning, when I kept warning people that the muzzle was only for a start. Still, non-compliance is the only thing people can do, apart from ganging up on the enforcers, as Solzhenitsyn suggested. Still, if the choice is between the "green zones" (aka. death camps awaiting its inmates with fantastic "medical" experiments) and something else, I would say, most people, including the mesmerized and the followers would take a chance with the second.
If the enforcers realize that they are dispensable, too, along with the "scientists" who represent fake science, the cabal might lose, although they will fight until the last zombie willing to defend them... Without enforcers, they are nothing.
One hundred billion is peanuts compared with the central banks that have access to free taxpayer's money. About 160 of them are owned by the Rockefellers around the world. The Federal Reserve, a private bank, has been issuing USD since 1913 as a "loan" to the taxpayer.
The same people who have been running the show from just about 1867 now own and or control just about everything that matters, including control over the global money supply, banks, governments, courts, production and distribution, "education" and, of course, "Medicine."
The eugenistic technocrats believe they have the key to eternal life (DNA-editing morons, whose "scientists" do not dare to tell them they have no idea what they are doing), but it will lead only to full destruction, which will include themselves, unless the enforcers/useful idiots realize they will be next on the road to the slaughterhouse and refuse to serve.
