One of THE BEST papers explaining "Covid" (from macroeconomics) was shared with me in 2021 by a friend who is a well-respected senior leader in the Defense-space.
I'm not a socialist (neither is my friend), but this analysis was one of the best essays I read during that time (up there with the Franklin Templeton "They Blinded Us From Science" whitepaper). It is here: thephilosophicalsalon.com/a-self-fulfill…
Here are some clips of it (clip 1 of 3):

The Blackrock paper he is referring to in this last clip (and throughout the interview) is the "Going Direct" paper here:
Relevant:
The Currency Comptroller nominee last year suggested an end to all Privately owned banks and everyone would have bank accounts directly at the Federal Reserve. Government bank accounts.
The pattern we are watching now (with banks getting swallowed by a small group of larger banks) may not be by design, but it fits the stated goal of people like Omarova. And even the CEO of Blackrock himself
The biggest international news story (no one knows about) broke in May of 1981. A radio broadcaster named Mae Brussell broke it down in real-time. Like a savant she connects dots that will COMPLETELY change how you look at history: From Watergate to JFK to Jonestown.

She reveals in her broadcast that news stories we all know individually: assassination of JFK, RFK, John Lennon, Bangladesh's and Ecuador's President, attempt on Reagan, King of Spain, and Pope John Paul II are actually all connected and occurred in rapid succession

She called it "A State WITHIN a State".
Mae Brussell did all this without the benefit of decades of retrospective research, like books written today. She did it AS it happened in May of 1981.
synthesizing tons of newspaper articles and dozens of books for us.
23 years after airing, I gave BBC's "Neuromancer" a try. (I didnt want to ruin my memory of the books).
If you (re)listen today, it's amazing what holds up : use of AI, the oligarchs, political intrigue of megacorps. And (of course) first use of the word "cyberspace" (🧵1 of 5)
William Gibson wrote amazing prose, but this BBC version misses some of his more poetic details, like this favorite scene of mine. In the book, Case isnt just laughing, his cheeks are streaked with tears of release. One of my favorite scenes as a teen/young adult

The tech bits not only hold up, but the way society USES the tech does also. Amazing tech is ultimately just leveraged for surveillance, military, and hedonistic "bread and circus" for the masses. Pretty amazing to be that prescient in the first years of the 1980s.

The BBC Radio play "Medici" is a good listen. A concise history of the banking Dynasty from Cosimo and his father down through Alessandro the black (Moor) Duke of Florence, down to Catherine the "Serpent Queen" of France.
The music is great and the show has small bits of historical references woven into the script for you to catch. the show also has lots of good one-liners like:
"you have ancient blood and modern hopes"
"you carry your own end within you"
"take time for your revenge"
(🧵2 of 5)
The show also gives the historical timeline in a clever way: by reading off P&L statements so the listener gets an idea of the size of the Medici wealth relative to other European powers, families, and rulers.
It just came out that the CCP hacked a buncha U.S. voting systems in 2020. U.S. Intel knew it and hid it from the public! This should be the biggest new story but:
The official logo of OPERATION Warpspeed that quickly deployed the coronavirus shots, had a strangely occult symbol in it, called the Antahkarana.
Anti-corona. Antekarana.
That antekarana looks curiously like something else also... (🧵 1 of 12)
The repeating Antekarana looks suspiciously like the "Greek Key" or "Meander" pattern found in lots of Greek and Roman architecture and Greek pottery (amphoras, wine flagons, etc).
A variation of Greek Key called "Enigma" is also on the seats of the US Capitol.

If that pattern on the seats at the US Capitol look (to you) curiously like something else, you are not alone ;-)
