Masters of Collapse

Something snapped in 2019...but it wasn’t the virus. From repo market chaos to digital cages disguised as progress, are we sleepwalking into submission?

Let’s say you’re sitting on top of a crumbling empire.

The banks are spooked, inflation is spiraling, the middle class is quietly evaporating, and people are starting to ask dangerous questions. What do you do?

A) Own up and fix the problems like a responsible adult.
B) Let it all burn and hope the smoke hides your exit.
C) Use every tool at your disposal…crisis, fear, media, money…to consolidate power while blaming someone else.

If you chose “C,” congratulations. You’re paying attention.

The Jenga Tower of Finance

Let’s roll the tape back to September 2019.

Before COVID. Before mandates. Before lockdowns and digital tracking. That’s when something broke…quietly, but unmistakably…in the heart of global finance: the repo market.

This arcane little corner of Wall Street is like the bank’s overnight pawn shop.

Institutions lend cash against high-grade collateral, like U.S. Treasuries, to make sure they open tomorrow with functioning lights.

Then one day, the lights flickered.

Interest rates in the repo market suddenly spiked to 10%…a level not seen since the financial crisis.

It was the equivalent of your local gas station charging $40 a gallon overnight and saying, “Take it or leave it.”

The Federal Reserve had to act fast. It began flooding the system with cash…$10 to $20 billion a day, every day.

By year’s end, it had injected over $250 billion.

This wasn’t some temporary glitch. It was a seizure in the financial bloodstream. And the people at the top knew it.

Rather than fix the system, they pivoted to something else: a new narrative. A great reset.

The Virus Was the Catalyst, Not the Cause

As if on cue, in early 2020, a novel virus emerged from Wuhan.

Suddenly, the global economy was shut down. Lockdowns became gospel. Social distancing, masks, and “flattening the curve” were sold as science.

Meanwhile, the real operation was underway: a massive consolidation of power and wealth.

Over 200,000 small businesses were obliterated in the U.S. alone, according to the Federal Reserve. That’s the entire Main Street economy incinerated in under 12 months.

Who survived? Amazon, for one. Its profits soared 84% in 2020 to $21.3 billion.

Tech monopolies flourished while family diners went dark.

Meanwhile, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, of which $500 billion went directly to big corporations.

And who was handed the keys to administer the bailout? BlackRock.

By 2025, BlackRock manages over $10 trillion. It’s the financial arm of the elites…the consigliere of the global reset.

Meanwhile, the middle class bleeds out.

Oxfam reports that since 2020, the top 1% have taken 50% of all new wealth created.

That’s not a recovery. That’s a heist.

They Broke It, Then Sold You the Cage

When the economic damage was done, the next phase began: surveillance and control.

The pandemic softened people up. Enter the digital panopticon.

Digital IDs. Central Bank Digital Currencies. “15-minute cities.” Universal Basic Income. All sold as “progress.” All designed to tether you to the grid.

But how did these tools of control go from conspiracy theory to global policy in less than five years?

The European Union launched eIDAS 2.0, a fully integrated digital identity system. By 2026, it will track your finances, your healthcare, your travel habits…your life.

In China, over 300 million people use the digital yuan, which logs 70% of purchases. The state can freeze your funds if you misbehave.

In the U.S., 20 states now issue digital driver’s licenses. The Federal Reserve is test-piloting a CBDC. The goal isn’t convenience. It’s control.

The “15-minute city” concept…pitched as eco-friendly urban design…is spreading in Paris, Oxford, and beyond. But locals aren’t fooled.

In 2024, over 5,000 people protested in Oxford against the system. They see the trap closing.

Meanwhile, Universal Basic Income is expanding. Spain now pays $600 a month to over 1 million citizens.

A University of Barcelona study revealed 40% of recipients worked less afterward.

Exactly the point.

UBI creates dependency. And dependency is the leash.

Control the Narrative, Bury the Bodies

While the elites built the digital infrastructure of obedience, they also needed a scapegoat for the collateral damage.

Enter: the unvaccinated.

A 2023 Yale study claimed Republicans were 43% more likely to die from COVID-19 due to vaccine hesitancy. It painted conservatives as reckless, science-denying liabilities.

The media loved it.

But the study was garbage.

Funded by pro-vaccine institutions including Yale’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund and the Open Society Foundations, it used voter registration to infer ideology and conveniently ignored confounding factors. Like healthcare access.

Rural areas…where Republicans live…have fewer hospitals, doctors, and ICU beds.

In Florida alone, rural counties had 30% fewer doctors per capita, per the state’s own Department of Health.

And yet the study treated those variables as irrelevant.

Meanwhile, actual research from Denis Rancourt and others showed something far more disturbing.

Rancourt’s 2023 report estimated that 17 million people died globally due to the vaccines…not the virus.

Edward Dowd, former BlackRock analyst, documented a 40% rise in excess mortality among young working-age Americans in 2021–2022…right when mass vaccination was underway.

The European Medicines Agency logged 1.2 million adverse reactions to the vaccines by 2024, including over 12,000 potentially linked deaths.

The WHO estimates 18 million excess deaths globally from 2020 to 2023.

But shhh…don’t talk about that.

Agenda 2030: The Global Blueprint for Control

Back in 2015, the United Nations launched its “Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.”

The branding was immaculate. End poverty. Save the planet. Promote equality.

Under the hood? Central planning, top-down control, and digital governance.

Eight years later, the results are in.

Over 700 million people still live in extreme poverty. But USAID “lost” $50 million in Ukraine.

In Iraq, $20 million went to ghost corporations.

In Ethiopia, $15 million funded paramilitary groups, according to The Intercept.

The 2030 Agenda isn’t a dream. It’s a script.

And it just got a sequel: the “Pact for the Future,” unveiled in 2024, doubling down on digital IDs, CBDCs, climate lockdowns, and stakeholder capitalism.

This isn’t about helping people. It’s about managing them…digitally, perpetually, and without consent.

WWIII Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here.

We said it back in 2023: this is World War III. But this time, the battlefield is invisible...and you’re the enemy.

NATO poured over $100 billion into Ukraine. Russia responded with over 500 drone attacks on civilians in 2024 alone.

China flew 200 jets into Taiwan’s airspace in 2025. Proxy wars rage in Africa and the Middle East.

Over 50 million people are now displaced, according to UNHCR.

Meanwhile, in the West, the real war is fought with policy, propaganda, and programmable money.

Over 1,200 protests rocked the U.S. in 2024, according to ACLED. Half a million French citizens marched against CBDCs.

Protesters in the U.K. and Germany vandalized surveillance cameras and torched “green” checkpoints.

The elites have declared war on freedom. The public is waking up.

2025: The Boiling Point

Let’s tally the scorecard.

$150 billion in corporate defaults in 2024. Interest rates at 5.5%. Real wages falling. A housing market locked by unaffordable mortgages.

The Bank for International Settlements says $2 trillion was printed last year alone.

And still, no real solutions.

For the wealthy? No problem. Billionaires have increased their net worth by 60% since 2020, according to Forbes.

BlackRock holds $10 trillion in assets.

The top 1% thrive, floating above the chaos on central bank liquidity and political influence.

But for everyone else, the story is different.

Inflation is back. Surveillance is expanding. Freedom is narrowing. And the truth about the vaccines, the lockdowns, and the reset? Slowly, painfully, emerging.

So... What Now?

Here’s the good news.

They’re not invincible. They rely on your compliance. Your obedience. Your silence.

So don’t comply.

Speak the truth. Support local. Turn off the TV. Grow your own food. Build your own economy. Opt out where you can. Raise your kids to be lions, not lab rats.

The trap is real.

But the gate hasn’t closed…yet.

They have a plan. But so do we.
