Crucially important analysis from @_InThisTogether

"The conflict in Ukraine benefits certain powerful global interests. It meets a myriad of their objectives. From their perspective, it is practically perfect"

in-this-together.com/ukraine-war-pa…
2/17

"There are some intergovernmental organisations to which member states voluntarily cede all or part of their sovereignty. Examples include the UN, the WTO, the WHO and the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS)"
3/17

"Some private institutions also have partnership agreements with the UN. For example, in 2019 the WEF, which describes itself as 'the international organization for public-private cooperation', signed a strategic partnership agreement with the UN"
4/17

"The focus of the WEF’s agreement with the UN is to 'accelerate implementation' of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Creating public-private partnerships (collaborations between sovereign states and private companies) is itself one of the UN SDGs"
5/17

"There are many mechanisms through which governments create the environment needed to build—or rebuild—infrastructure. Starting wars is one of these mechanisms. In fact, causing conflict in Ukraine could create the perfect enabling environment" - @_InThisTogether

"The purpose of investment is to make money, to earn an income. Investors do not finance 'projects that will be of a benefit to the public' unless they profit by it. The motive is financial gain not altruism"

"Ukraine has estimated that the investment needed to rebuild destroyed infrastructure has already reached $100 billion. The chair of the Ukrainian Rada’s climate subcommittee sees the destruction as an opportunity to recreate Ukraine as a beacon of Sustainable Development”
8/17

"The investment required to finance the restructuring will come from many global financial institutions, all of which are supported, if indirectly, by taxpayer funds. The national debt accrued will be owed by Ukrainian taxpayers to the global central banking system"
9/17

"Like the UN, the World Bank has private stakeholder 'partners'. It describes itself as a 'unique global partnership'. Its partners include, for example, the Global Vaccine Alliance (GAVI), created in 2000 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation"
10/17

"While global financial institutions have supranational sovereignty over their own member states, central banks hold sovereignty specifically over and above the government of their respective nation-states"

"The Bank of England is a private corporation controlled by people with extensive links to other private corporations. They are appointed to operate the business of the BoE by the Crown. The BoE is not owned by the British government, and certainly not by the people"
12/17

"The Bank of Russia (Russian central bank) is similarly independent of the Russian Federation"
13/17

"Many of the world’s leading central banks hold accounts with their global central bank of central banks: the Bank for International Settlements, created as the world’s first international financial institution. It had—and still has—supranational sovereignty"
14/17

"In the post-WWII period, despite having acted as a transaction and deposit bank for the German Nazi regime, the BIS has expanded its operations. It is now the bank for all of the world’s major central banks"
15/17

"The current BIS board is comprised of 15 directors plus the chair and the vice chair. The directors are all central bankers. They include Christine Lagarde, the former head of the IMF and the current head of the European Central Bank"
16/17

"The BIS is exempt from all law... It is the 'highest rank of power and authority' on Earth: the 'supreme power or authority'. Take a moment to fathom it: The Bank for International Settlements, a private corporation, is sovereign over the entire planet"
17/17

"It is in this context that #Ukraine can be understood. The BIS & the central banks are not threatened by confrontations between governments. Why would they be? They & their predecessor organisations have been deriving immense profits from every major conflict since 1694"

Like many others, I have spent the whole of my adult life trying to understand what has gone wrong with our world and how we might identify and reach the path to a better future.

2/4

This is no easy task, given the number of lies, deceptions and traps deployed by the ruling caste so as to obstruct true understanding of the slave-system they have constructed and prevent any serious challenge to it.

But, like our sense of ethics, the Withway exists deep in our minds as an archetype of how we are meant to live. Therefore, even when we cannot yet formulate it ourselves, we can usually recognise it when we see it.

Our first priority in rediscovering our withness will have to be a rejection of power and its vehicles of oppression.

winteroakpress.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/thewit…
2/5

If this rejection happened in stages, the first stage would necessarily be a decentralization of power from the global level at which it is currently exercised.

But we can’t stop there. The decentralization has to go right down through the whole of society to the extent that it amounts to a reversal in the direction of power.

Highlights include talks on "Opportunities in climate & tech impact" by Tony Clamp, Max Gottschalk and Tommy Stadlen plus "Taking stock of progress towards Sustainable Development Goals" by Michele Giddens.

Giddens co-founded Bridges Fund Management, which has branches in the UK, US and Israel, with "Sir" Ronald Cohen, friend of war criminal Tony Blair and chair of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment at Klaus Schwab's WEF.

Two years ago, way back in the Old Normal days of January 2020, we published The Acorn 54.

Interesting to note that every single item in the bulletin remains just as relevant today!

Thread:

1. Mobilising against the assault on nature

We warn that Klaus Schwab's WEF is "spearheading a bid by corporations and financial institutions to 'monetize' nature on a global scale" and is promoting a Fourth Industrial Revolution.
2. X-axis: the money behind the greenwash

We warn that the climate “solutions” being proposed by fake-green wheeler-dealers "risk leading us into a nightmarish future of artifice, enslavement and corporate-controlled 'smart' fascism".

Great find from 2014, @RemoOscuro!

"The Henry Jackson Initiative for Inclusive Capitalism is therefore an elite response to the recognition that capitalism in its current form is unsustainable, likely to hit another crisis and already generating massive popular resistance"

"Proposed 'reforms' offer ways to rehabilitate perceptions of powerful businesses and corporations, in order to head-off rising worker discontent and thus keep the system going, while continuing to maximise profits for the few at the expense of the planet"

"This is not a surprise considering the parochial financial and political interests the Henry Jackson Society appears to represent: the very same neoconservative elites that lobbied for the Iraq War and endorse mass NSA surveillance of western & non-western citizens alike".
