1/Today, I will be joining as a guest on "The Farm" podcast. In preparation, I have been listening to their excellent series on the World Anti-Communist League. These long, deep dives explore the real history that informs the present moment. I've linked to each episode below.

10/Anyone writing or reporting on January 6, QAnon, and other related movements needs to understand this history. What we are experiencing now is not new and is just the latest manifestation of influences that have persisted for decades.

🧵 1/THE FINANCIAL ATTACK: This is a work in progress, intended to elicit additional information. We have seen many indications that the CNP/Koch network is staging a series of plays designed to undermine the financial system and bolster non-state cryptocurrencies.
2/This is an overt statement that they are pushing in this direction. They literally describe here a "distributed future," by which they mean "a world without central banks" (and central bankers) and based on non-state cryptocurrency. Is this the future we want? We must discuss.
3/Old-time CNP/Western Goals/Birch Society thought-leader G. Edward Griffin is saying the same thing. He calls out central banks and expresses clear preference for metals (silver, gold) and non-state cryptocurrencies in this video.
This video of Western Goals’ OG G. Edward Griffin explaining his mindset around opposition to central banks and preference for silver and non-state crypto is at the heart of what’s going on right now.
While the world argues about Q (the last phase of this op) the next phase is underway and visible in plain sight. This is what this is all about; get ahead of it instead of reacting to it.
Here is the Koch Network telling the world what they are doing. “But Ron Watkins....” 🙄 Put away the computers and phones for a minute and crack open some world history. This is what they are doing and it’s quite obvious.
🧵 1/The biggest sleight of hand pulled by “Q” was to imply the existence of a top-down hierarchy when, in fact, it was an emergent networked insurgency.
Washington and the media think in terms of org charts. Instead this was a supple, shape-shifting effort.
2/So everyone was asking “who is Q” when the better question was “what is this network and how does it work?” Flynn and the other military folks who became involved in this had experience with this kind of insurgency. They knew they could get networks to do things.
3/One might want to see a certain message get out to a network; tell some mullahs, and maybe that happens. Maybe your work gets done for you, through the power of suggestion. Maybe minor celebrities emerge who each are pulling in the same direction.
I didn’t know what to expect from the @HBO film on Q and #Jan6 by @CullenHoback. But he managed to get at the network, and followed the facts. It comports with my own work on this subject, which provides additional context without contradiction.
And I am also happy to report that both the @Vice and @HBO documentaries covering these subjects are in alignment with this program we did in October, which I believed would be the first broad description of this network. That turned out to be correct.
What so many have failed to see is the complex and emergent nature of this networked insurgency. I am pleased reality is asserting itself, but there is so much more we need to do to tell this story. We need to inoculate the population so this doesn’t happen again.
Today I heard Randal Quarles of the US Financial Stability Board defend the fact that the US is not yet pursuing a sovereign-backed digital currency, saying he doesn’t see what role it can fill.
In my opinion the role it needs to fulfill is as competition against wild variants, and with those being created by China and the Eurozone. If this is not addressed, the entire financial sector will be targeted for manipulation with the spoils going to wild crypto.
A lot of people will be hurt if that happens. And they explicitly cited the risk to the financial sector. But I think they underestimate it. There are explicit campaigns to manipulate stocks, crypto, and fiat currency using social media.
I've expanded the documentation for my recent "Big History" of #Jan6 series and related tweet threads.
Here's 26 pages of receipts, backstory, resources for storytellers, and an expanded bibliography. A work in progress, but this is the big story. docs.google.com/document/d/1gl…
I've also decided to make all of my work on this available free under the Creative Commons attribution license. Anyone may share and repurpose this work, with appropriate credit, and it's important it is discussed and shared. As Nancy MacLean has noted, democracy is threatened.
I would like to kindly urge those looking for answers in internet ephemera and daily political drama to engage with the important historical themes that are in play here. We can unwind this, but we must become more fully aware of the strategic underpinnings behind it.
