Beyond this, the cascading impacts of the war along with the changes that have been precipitated at various levels, have already been far-reaching and will be increasingly devastating for humanity as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Here I will focus on some of the more obscure aspects of the deeper agenda that is driving this conflict to manifest in the way that it is occurring. This reflects my own long-standing interest in understanding how elite power manifests in the world.<\/p>\n<p>As I have explained previously, since the dawn of human civilization 5,000 years ago, \u2018ordinary\u2019 people have been engaged in an ongoing struggle against elites, whether local, imperial, religious, economic, national or, now, global. See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nonviolentstrategy.wordpress.com\/articles\/why-activists-fail\/\" >\u2018Why Activists Fail\u2019<\/a>. But whatever the context, the elite intention is always the same: to kill undesired populations and\/or control the lives of everyone else by depriving them of their fair share of political, economic, social and ecological resources.<\/p>\n<p>Since about 1500CE, the intensity of this conflict has deepened considerably with elites intent on killing off a substantial proportion of the human population and enslaving those left alive. This has been done through imperial conquest precipitating genocidal campaigns against indigenous peoples, wars, control of food supplies and other resources to generate mass starvation, medical technologies, the deployment of lethal technologies notably now including 5G and, most recently, an injectables program, ostensibly to protect against a \u2018virus\u2019. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/2021\/10\/killing-off-humanity-how-the-global-elite-is-using-eugenics-and-transhumanism-to-shape-our-future\/\" >\u2018Killing Off Humanity: How the Global Elite Is Using Eugenics and Transhumanism to Shape Our Future\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, elite intention has never really wavered. To reiterate: Whatever ideology supposedly guided any elite in a particular context, the elite has usually wanted a substantial proportion of any local human population killed off and the bulk of those left alive reduced to slavery, in one form or another, while endlessly commandeering planetary resources for elite use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The only differences between earlier eras and the present is that the assault on humanity is now genuinely global and it is in its final stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, too, this assault is happening in plain sight with the bulk of the population completely unaware of what is taking place and those who are at least concerned and resisting in some way focused on the \u2018smoke and mirrors\u2019 distraction presented by the \u2018virus\u2019\/\u2018vaccine\u2019 narrative and the antics of politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Which means that the Elite\u2019s kill and control agenda, being implemented through the World Economic Forum\u2019s \u2018Great Reset\u2019, proceeds with minimal resistance. And those not killed by the various measures being used to depopulate humanity will be enslaved in a technological prison from which there will be no escape. <strong><em>After all, the absolutely minimum requirements for effective resistance are life, a mind with free will and food to eat, none of which can be taken for granted any longer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>So Where Does the War in Ukraine Fit into All This?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, at immediate and great personal cost to those soldiers and civilians killed or otherwise adversely impacted by the fighting, the war is being used as a smokescreen to obscure a highly orchestrated sequence of events that accelerate the Global Elite\u2019s kill and control agenda, in just the same way that the Covid-19 narrative has done.<\/p>\n<p>Using two wealthy members of the World Economic Forum \u2013 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210314025357\/https:\/www.weforum.org\/people\/vladimir-putin\" >President Vladimir Putin of Russia<\/a> (see <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.icij.org\/investigations\/panama-papers\/20160403-putin-russia-offshore-network\/\" >\u2018All Putin\u2019s Men: Secret Records Reveal Money Network Tied to Russian Leader\u2019<\/a>) and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/people\/volodymyr-zelenskyy\" >President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine<\/a> (see <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/new-economy.gr\/2022\/03\/13\/zelensky-pandora\/\" >\u2018What Pandora Papers revealed about Zelensky offshore accounts and funding from Ukranian kleptocracy\u2019<\/a>) \u2013 backed by a supporting cast of key elite agents and unwitting accomplices throughout institutions such as NATO, the European Union, the US and other governments, the corporate media and elsewhere, the military conflict rages on in clear public view, with much debate about various measures being implemented as part of this conflict \u2013 such as sanctions by many countries on Russia \u2013 while several vitally important outcomes are obscured from general view or accepted as \u2018unfortunate\u2019 consequences of the war rather than planned measures of the elite to kill or control us all.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What outcomes are these?\u2019 you might ask.<\/p>\n<p>Well, while this war rages on, generating enormous emotion among those siding with either Russia or Ukraine \u2013 and thus, in extremely simplified terms, outraged by either NATO\u2019s precipitating encroachment and military buildup over recent decades or Putin\u2019s \u2018unjustified\u2019 aggression \u2013 here is a short, partial list of rapidly accelerated key outcomes, all compliments of this war, that bring you closer to death or technological slavery in the near term, wherever in the world that you live.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The war, by accident (given that other key elite agents are well aware of what is happening and probably won\u2019t precipitate it deliberately), could \u2018go nuclear\u2019, and kill off a huge proportion of humanity and, depending on its severity, starve most or even all of those left alive. But, assuming this outcome is avoided, there are plenty of other unpalatable options to contemplate.<\/li>\n<li>Russia and Ukraine supply 30% of the world\u2019s wheat and significant percentages of other grains, sunflower oil, fertilizers, oil and gas, and strategic minerals (such as palladium and platinum), among other products. The war, as well as the sanctions imposed on Russia by many countries, has exacerbated the already seriously interrupted supply chains of these products, which either cannot be alternatively sourced or not as cheaply. And the previously generated supply chain collapses in all sectors, causing food (and other) shortages, price hikes and energy crises around the world, cannot be restored in any timeframe that is short. Millions will starve to death because of these supply chain collapses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to one recent report: \u2018We believe we are at the onset of a global famine of historic proportions.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/doomberg.substack.com\/p\/farmers-on-the-brink\" >\u2018Farmers on the Brink\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To repeat: <strong>\u2018we are at the onset of a global famine of historic proportions.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And the thoughtful account by Riley Waggaman includes this comment from Anatoly Nesmiyan: \u2018That is why the \u201cspecial [military] operation\u201d is a minor episode of little importance against the background of impending cataclysms\u2026.

In drawing attention to the deeper elite program that is rapidly trapping humanity in a nightmarish future, I am not suggesting that the war does not matter.<\/p>\n<p>But I also know from long experience that the anti-war movement remains devoid of the capacity to act to prevent or halt wars because it lacks the analysis, strategic orientation, tenacity and courage to do so.
