Former BlackRock portfolio manager Ed Dowd (above) predicts a rogue AI cyberattack will be used as a pretext to roll out some form of crypto-based digital currency to replace the paper dollar system. This would give globalist power elites unprecedented control over the financial transactions of every human being on the planet, including Americans.<\/p>\n

Dowd warns that digitized currencies will ultimately enable governments to impose arbitrary limits on purchases, using AI to surveil programmable \u201cmoney\u201d that can be turned on or off, or programmed to apply only for the purchase of certain goods to the exclusion of others.<\/p>\n

This has always been the dark side of digitalized money. Take PayPal, for example. This is a digital payment system that can be convenient to use, but it dictates the rules to its users. You cannot use PayPal to pay for certain goods it doesn\u2019t like, such as entirely legal firearms and the bullets that make them viable weapons for hunting, sport shooting, or personal protection. During the Covid years, PayPal would not let you use its platform to buy NAC, Quercitin or other supplements that were effective in boosting one\u2019s immune system against Covid.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the plan goes even further than monitoring and curtailing your spending habits. It\u2019s the tokenization of all assets, including your home and any real property you may have, your car, your bank account. Patrick Wood has unpacked this strategic technocratic plan in his new book, Crucible of Tokens<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The end game was dribbled out seven years ago when the World Economic Forum introduced the mantra that \u201cyou will own nothing and be happy\u201d after the digital reset has been completed. The timeline for completing what King Charles and other top globalists had promoted as the \u201cGreat Reset\u201d has been 2030.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been planning this takeover for decades. But they didn\u2019t have the proper technological tools to pull it off until now. Artificial intelligence being misused by an enemy nation will be the announced culprit. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran? Russia? China? Take your pick.<\/p>\n

Dowd referred to Covid restrictions, saying vaccine passports were planned to be linked to a digital ID and twice-a-year boosters, and that this was the first attempt to roll out a central bank digital currency or CBDC.<\/p>\n

The current plan is behind schedule, which is why governments will try again during an economic meltdown, Dowd argued, adding that a rogue AI cyberattack<\/strong>, in which money disappears from banks, could be the triggering mechanism.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we\u2019re free to express ourselves economically with people, for the most part, either cash or credit. But they want an AI-surveilled third option to determine whether or not that transaction is allowed to happen,\u201d Dowd said in an interview with Clayton Morris of the YouTube podcast channel Redacted<\/em>. \u201cAnd the only way you can do that is with the CBDC. So that\u2019s the ultimate goal. It\u2019s control freaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. military preparing for grid-down event<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It was also reported over the weekend that the U.S. Pentagon is working on a plan<\/a><\/strong> to ensure military bases can keep running for at least 90 days, on their own, with no dependence on outside infrastructure. The effort is called Project FORTRESS, and it is built upon one overriding concern: that a major war could knock out power grids, break supply chains and threaten the viability of critical infrastructure on American soil.<\/p>\n

Why is it that the leaders of European nations are encouraging their citizens to prepare for war on their soil by stocking up on food, water, batteries, flashlights and other supplies, while the U.S. is preparing its military bases for a grid-down event, and yet we have no official government warnings being provided to the American people? Do they want us to be blindsided by what\u2019s coming? You have to wonder.<\/p>\n

Of course, the possibility of an extended grid-down event is nothing we who are awake haven\u2019t been aware of and preparing for. People like myself, Catherine Austin Fitts and others have been writing and speaking about it for years.<\/p>\n

Klaus Schwab, former director of the World Economic Forum, also warned more than five years ago that a major cyber attack would shut down global financial institutions, communications, etc.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest clue that we are in for such an attack came in 2023 when the blockbuster Hollywood movie Leave the World Behind<\/a><\/em><\/strong> hit theaters with backing from Barack and Michelle Obama. Hollywood always telegraphs major life-altering events.<\/p>\n

And so now we have Ed Dowd, a former BlackRock trader, sharing his concerns with a major conservative podcast channel.<\/p>\n
