Crawford is an actuary and fInancial expert who I think writes well, often with broad and deep perspectives. Could be worth noting, as he disentagles from his many Covid analyses and eyes a more geopolitical, power-based view.
This worldly blog post (reproduced below) is a case in point. It induced me to click on the video (55m) and watch some of it. Aim to watch the rest soon.
Call it World War E
The Wars of Wars Part 5

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years…It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries .” -David Rockefeller
The ‘E’ is for Economics. Also, “World War WTF” only plays outside the mainstream, and also the alt-mainstream (that’s a thing, now).
Economics is ultimately what all the other wars are about, one way or another.

War is the ultimate end of all conflict that cannot be otherwise settled in the political arena, and a more broad understanding that the political arenas are rigged is growing quickly. There seems to be no alpha in the Tribe of Tribes stepping forward to untangle that mess, and so here we are watching well-funded Behavioral Economists nudge the mentally pliable off cliffs at an accelerating pace.
Perhaps this is the inevitable earthquake at the end of the dollar era, foretold by Robert Triffin, and that decades ago rocked the schizophrenia-impaired, but otherwise elegant imagination of John Nash, who stood up from his desk and fled to Switzerland upon understanding the implications—panicked as if the dollar balloon was to burst within the fortnight.
Who is friend and who is foe in World War E?
It’s complicated. I suspect that the powers in the U.S., along with the corporations that play on a global scale, are doing to Europe what European proto-megacorps once did to Africa, Asia, South America, and elsewhere, which is to enforce total financial subjugation.
But if you want to know who your friends are, I recommend asking for a cup of sugar once in a while, just to test the waters.
World War Officially Announced?
Was a World War recently announced by Putin?
Or has it already been going on for years already?
How hard is this topic to discuss among friends given the emotion of eight different vectors of partisan bias on everything Russia? Is the difficulty associated with discussing Russia really just an erected barrier to discussing World War E? Perhaps that’s the only way to sell the relinquishing of national sovereignty to a corporate-sponsored NGO?
The Economics of Attention to Food
If you’re an RTE reader, I probably don’t need to introduce the topic. But it’s getting ugly, so pay attention.
Tim Truth who documented what appeared to be the poisoning of a Canadian river by the government reports on a mass die-off of fish in Poland’s second-largest river. It is noteworthy that Poland stands at odds with most of Europe in numerous political and ideological ways.
The psychopathic corporatists have every reason to limit your options, given that to them you are only a means to an end. Given their path dependence along the plan of thoroughly destroying paths toward greater education that would lead to the technological process that turns into healthy (decentralized) economic growth, their only option for a continued profit model is controlled scarcity.

The Economics of Attention to Health
I don’t have to explain the basic principle. Your health is your wealth, or precedes it, otherwise. When something goes wrong to your or to others around you, you cannot but take note.
And so long as your chess move is forced attention, you have less time to prepare in any sort of war. The only way to win was not to play the game of supporting the Leviathan State, but that ship sailed long ago.
Let Us Summarize
World War E is The Club against everyone else.
If you want to know who all is in The Club, I couldn’t tell you if I knew. We can each identify some obvious members, but let’s face it: we don’t even know how much of the Mandarin class is in The Club. We don’t know who has received a novel genetic transfection and who hasn’t. There is a great deal about which we can only speculate. Even most all of the members of The Club might not know. The whole point is that the hierarchy is too tall to be easily visible from anywhere.
None of this will be easy, so stand by with a cup of sugar when your true friends knock at the door.
