The stated goal is to pressure Russia to end the conflict in Ukraine. But there is essentially no chance of that happening; the government will not feel the pain as much as the people, but the people will not be obliged to apply enough pressure Vladimir Putin as a result. Instead, they will simply turn their anger towards the western financial institutions who will be blamed for overstepping into geopolitical affairs.
But as Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse noted, the repercussions from this move will be global and extremely detrimental:
Think about the direct message and the implications here. Think about the world of multinational corporate compliance and how they will kneel to the dictates of political power in the aftermath of this current enterprise.
If this collective group of multinationals and government interests succeed in this approach, everything will change. If you think corporations, Big Tech and Big Banks, et al, are controlling and politically motivated now? Good grief, just wait. The global future being outlined in this NATO/EU/WEF strategy to use private industry as a weapon, is like the government attack on Canadian truckers/supporters taken to an exponential scale.
Now, overlay your pending requirement to walk around with a digital identity, and you can see exactly how easy it will be to de-person, which is one layer higher than de-bank. I mean seriously, think about this approach toward Vladimir Putin. What I just described above is our future if the globalists defeat Putin. Another question to ask yourself is – what happens if Putin wins?
How does the international assembly of government approach Russia in the aftermath? A G20 summit? Ha! What do you think Putin and his allies like China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and possibly India, South Africa, and Brazil will do now?
What globalist Rubicons are being crossed right now that can never be reversed? The dollar lost as a global trade currency? The end of the petro-dollar? These are very real possibilities, perhaps even probabilities now.
Buckle up, folks. The bottom may be dropping out from under us much sooner than most expect. Stay frosty.
