The whole thing where the EU froze Russia's reserves makes 0 sense and is very similar to October 7th. Russia left roughly 200-300B euro parked at Euroclear in Belgium and attacked Ukraine. So they left ~70% of their reserves in Europe absolutely knowing their reserves would get frozen. It is literally written into law that Euroclear holds the true title; retail and funds (Russia in this case) hold entitlements. Everything is in street name, no bearer certs, no simple "I have the certificate, I own the thing". This is a relatively recent development and is the law in every country in the world, including Russia. The actual odds of them leaving their reserves parked at Euroclear and attacking Ukraine are ~0. The obvious alternative explanation would be that they wanted to get their assets frozen to push the "deglobalization" narrative, to normalize the Great Taking, and to give an excuse for ~all Central Banks to simultaneously start stacking gold because the "dollar has been weaponized". The EU froze Russia's reserves in February 2022. https://blossom.primal.net/be4c04472a7966fbf2c2444996a162bf8d710d3e4eccbde53b3c6bc18e2fbac7.png It would've been kinda weird if Central Banks just started buying 3x the gold year over year without an excuse 😂 And this is just official Central Bank gold buying, the real numbers are in the multiples. I think they are preparing for a financial reset and I wouldn't be too shocked if they decide to run it this or next year. Central Banks usually under-inject liquidity in midterm years. https://blossom.primal.net/95eabcb1a428c85c085bdfc2945c12ab769ead7fb358a47e65c836c978553d2c.webp With current consent levels, they won't be able to sell the majority of the population on CBDCs and they are well aware. The Controllers (BIS in this case) didn't force 137 countries (= 98% of global GDP) to develop CBDCs so they can beg the population to switch to CBDCs/Digital ID. They know they'll have to use a crisis. https://blossom.primal.net/6e13f6ffd94bdcd1ae25a5b92ac7a70c7abfd9637f7a2c5cc3e989ead24a9af3.png We'll see a systemic collateral/custody rug and people will get forcibly converted into CBDCs to "save the financial system". David Rogers Webb (author of the Great Taking) went to the US to try to change the law, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful. Great Taking = legal + plumbing architecture that lets the top of the collateral pyramid seize or haircut claims on financial assets in a systemic crisis, while keeping the underlying assets safely inside the system. Translation: you don't own any of your stocks/bonds in your brokerage account. David Webb filmed his attempts to change the law in a few US states and got threats from the banking lobby. Eye-opening documentary: https://rumble.com/v6qy8lo-stop-it-the-great-taking-documentary.html The banking lobby lawyers are fighting to keep using "your" stocks as collateral in the ~4 quadrillion USD derivatives pyramid like their life depends on it. It is probably too late to try and change the laws, so everyone has to save themselves.
