Those with the cognitive freedom to consider whether or not biological warfare is a significant factor in current world politics, are free to add “● plagues”, to the list:
“Top finance has an interest in all
Now, ● plagues.
Another way of considering the “wars” element in that list, is to examine, whether or not Russia has a common interest with NATO in maintaining perpetual war.
The phenomenon can’t simply be explained as pandering to various nations’ armaments industries. (Failure has been noted of U.S. arms manufacturers to match Russia’s decisive development of hypersonic missiles.)
This principle of perpetual war was examined in George Orwell’s 1984:
Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania (Anglo-America) had been at war with Eastasia (China) and in alliance with Eurasia (Russia). But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control . Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania (UK-US) was at war with Eurasia (China): therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.
Top Finance today (BlackRock-Vanguard-StateSt) is merely continuing a policy of several centuries, of resorting to perpetual war to compensate for a fundamental, tectonic fault in the foundation of Financial Capitalism:
Loans to countries and whole sectors of the economy, however good their shape at the outset, become unrepayable after about 85 years because of the suffocating weight of compound interest.
Thus, the Spanish Habsburg dynasty, which received exclusive income from all the gold mines in South America, choking to the gills with gold, went broke because they couldn’t repay their loans' principle accrued at compound interest.
The leviathan of high finance must have perpetual war to maintain its unsustainable bulk, much as King Henry VIII became so grossly obese that a special carriage had to be constructed just to move him.
As explained by Carroll Quigley, the use of paper money resulted in issuance of relatively unlimited capitalization through the fiction of creating monies out of nothing. (Only 3% of fiat, paper currency was ever redeemed for gold. The secret craft of banking issued, at first, loans at the amount of the other 97%, but eventually far, far exceeded that limit.)
Former BlackRock $1billion fund manager, Edward Dowd https://twitter.com/DowdEdward, author of Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022, links such seemingly disparate events as Covid, the 2008 crash, going back at least to the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973, as events with hidden linkage, intimately involved with deferring the economic day of reckoning, “kicking the can down the road”.
Theoretical Phsyicist and Former Vice-Chancellor of Punjab University, Syed Mujahid Kamran, notes Financial Capitalism’s structural weakness, in The International Bankers, World Wars I, II, and Beyond (2015):
[Top Finance is intimately involved with all wars, revolutions, crashes, famines and, now, plagues.]Eustace Mullins [The Secrets of the Federal Reserve – The London Connection; first published 1952, Bridger House Publishers, 1991.] has cited a very important comment from the April 1887 issue of The Quarterly Journal of Economics. A detailed revue of the public debts of Europe shows interest and sinking fund payments of $5,343 million annually (five and one third billion). The finances of Europe are so involved that the governments may ask whether war, with all its terrible chances, is not preferable to the maintenance of such a precarious and costly peace. If the military preparations of Europe do not end in war, they may well end in the bankruptcy of … States. Or, if such follies lead neither to war nor to ruin, then they assuredly point to industrial and economic revolution.
In his book (A Century of War – Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order; Pluto Press. 2004.) William Engdahl writes:
By 1920, [J.P.] Morgan partner Thomas W. Lamont noted with obvious satisfaction that, as a result of four years of war [World War I] and global devastation, ‘the national debts of the world have increased by $210,000,000,000 [$6.625 trillion in current dollars] or about 475% [of national debt] in the … six years [prior to 1920]…’.
It may be noted that in 1913 the US Federal budget was a mere $714,000,000 [$22 billion today] while, in that very year, the Rockefeller empire was worth 900 million dollars [28 1/3 billion today]. The Rockefeller and Morgan empires were built through financing by the ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌[redacted] banking family. Andrew Carrington Hitchcock has pointed out that “the Rockefeller family are ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌descendants through a female bloodline.” It may be instructive to note that the debt increase of $210 billion [6.625 trillion today] mentioned by Lamont is almost 300 times (294.1 times to be exact) the US government budget of 1913 [, a period of about 7 years]! Professor Carroll Quigley, who had access to secret documents, has stated that after the war public debt rose one thousand times!
In his book … [Diplomacy by Deception – An Account of the Treasonous Conduct of the Governments of Britain and the United States; Bridger House, 1993] … former MI6 agent Dr John Coleman cites historian Alan Brugar [War For Profit: A Short History] as having pointed out that for every soldier who died in battle [in World War I], the international bankers made a profit of 10,000 dollars [$315,000 current]!

While in Orwell’s 1984 people are made to accept their deprived lives through a propagandistically staged war and the omnipresent surveillance of Big Brother, Huxley’s Brave New World bypasses this kind of control, in addition to the threat of physical and mental violence. This is done not by making people submit, but by breeding them into their unchanging social roles. One could therefore [anachronistically] imagine Huxley’s vision as an evolution of 1984, especially since the brave new world he describes follows the end of a war mentioned in the book: “The Nine Years’ War, the great Economic Collapse. There was a choice between World Control and destruction. Between stability and—” Huxley lets us know through one of the world controllers, not finishing the sentence he had started.
Here we see the recurring motif of a new creation after a previous, more or less deliberate destruction. Thus, Orwell and, especially, Huxley may have provided the script for the Great Reset by warning all those who, according to the developments of the time, were already foreseeably to be rationalized away in a more efficient system, or at least brought under complete control. In any case, the principle of creative destruction can be found tellingly in a 2011 book by US economist and Great Reset protagonist Richard Florida, published under the title The Great Reset: How the Post-Crash Economy Will Change the Way We Live and Work: “History teaches us that periods of ‘creative destruction,’ like the Great Depression of the 1930s, also present opportunities to remake our economy and society and to generate whole new eras of economic growth and prosperity.”
Echoing Florida’s vision, Gerry Allan, who holds a PhD in decision analysis from Harvard University and an MBA in applied economics from the University of California, Berkeley, asks, “Do we have ‘creative destruction’ or just plain ‘destruction?'” And he gives us an answer: “War is certainly destructive but what follows can often be anything but ‘better’ (except perhaps for a favored few) or ‘creative’ (except in a narrow, highly-partial context). What follows destruction may turn out to be much worse than what was destroyed.” As an example, he cites the brutal Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which put an end to the increasingly corrupt and inefficient Russian tsarist empire. This, in turn, was “replaced by Stalin’s totalitarian Soviet Union,” Allan writes. “Each destruction followed by more destruction, not creation in any positive, general sense.” Destruction, then, should not be the beginning of a creative process but its consequence: “Truly creative destruction is most often the result of major innovation—something new, positive, and broadly beneficial—that obsoletes and forces out an existing technology or process.”
In the COVID-19 crisis, it was not promising innovations that were supposed to bring about the long overdue restructuring of “an environmentally destructive economy”. So, we are clearly not in the creative destruction phase described by Gerry Allan. Rather, our time could be compared to the Orwellian phase of war. There, destruction was a means to an end. The goal was a technocratic restructuring through the dismantling of the middle class and the forced end of many personal freedoms. This process of “destruction that brings more destruction in its wake” can easily be attributed to the never-ending war against supposed killer viruses (the WEF speaks of permapandemics), and even to the war in Ukraine, which broke out when the virulence of SARS-CoV-2 subsided. There, legends of a final victory over Russia have replaced any historical lesson about the existential necessity of diplomatic solutions—all the more so when viewed through 1984 glasses. The statement by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the WEF meeting in 2022 that the pandemic will not end “unless we finally break the cycle of ever new mutants causing ever new infections” fits into this.
But this is simply impossible. The virus, which is now also spreading in the animal kingdom, cannot be prevented from mutating (which would only be possible by changing one or more laws of nature), nor can it be controlled by vaccines (even if they worked). With this statement, Scholz has made the war against COVID-19 or ultimately all future permapandemics a dominant theme for all time. Interesting in this context is that another source of war is also kept in permanent mode. For Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Klaus Schwab claimed to be one of the WEF’s former Global Leaders for Tomorrow, “the war could actually go on forever,” according to t-online. According to the report, a hundred thousand deaths “seems like a minor evil in view of the possible loss of power.” “For the Kremlin regime,” the article concludes, “war as a permanent state is the only chance to survive.” Sitting on the opposite side is German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who was nominated for the WEF’s YGL [Young Global Leader] program in the spring of 2020. In keeping with the Great Reset agenda, she too is not working toward a diplomatic solution to end a war that is unwinnable for either side but rather continues to fuel it. In doing so, she says she is concerned about the continued supply of weapons “no matter what my German constituents think.” And in her address to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on January 24, 2023, Baerbock is even more explicit when she says, “Yes, we must do more, including on tanks. But the most important and decisive thing is that we do it together—and not play the blame game in Europe … because we are at war with Russia.” Thus, two supposed adversaries—the German foreign minister and the Russian president (and thus Germany and Russia)—as WEF allies together make sure that this war will not end either. So, the only-supposed creative destruction that began with COVID-19 will not end either.
The same is true for “climate change”, which apparently can also only be stopped by war. In the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the article “The Case for Going to War against Climate Change” states, “Once established as a war-like threat, climate change can be addressed with the gravity, urgency, and resources it deserves.” So said then Prince Charles (now King Charles), quoted in the article, himself a WEF member and protagonist of the Great Reset: “We must now put ourselves on a warlike footing, approaching our action from the perspective of a military-style campaign.” John Kerry proclaimed something similar. According to President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, the world needs a “wartime mentality” to combat climate change. And last but not least, since there will never be a virus-free planet, a never-ending battle against supposed killer viruses is guaranteed. In a speech at the WEF 2020 meeting, then Prince Charles was also one of the first to explicitly articulate the opportunity to use COVID-19 to drive the Great Reset: “We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis. Its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change.”
The destruction and intolerability of the situation is pushed further and even more intensively so that everyone believes in the great promise of the Great Reset, or rather desperately wishes for any change that holds out the prospect of ending the many different artificial wars. The warmongers, who present themselves as omnipotent technocratic world controllers, probably do this in the hope that something positive will come out of it, at least for them. That is why they meet every year at the WEF in Davos with high-level politicians from the leading industrialized countries. It is there that they present them with the issues on which the next steps of the global agenda can be implemented in the political realities of the individual states.

Oceania is at war with Eurasia.
Down with EVs, up with SUVs. Coal is the new normal.
Well, why not. We’ve only been fighting proxy wars with Russia and also China since The Korean War. What’s another 75-100 more years?
People are expendable.
Booming economies from wars, is a means towards an end, and the end justifies the means, because, a rising economy lifts all boats.
Long live wars!
(Failure has been noted of U.S. arms manufacturers to match Russia’s decisive development of hypersonic missiles.)
Hypersonic missiles are of dubious value. The US abandoned the program to develop them in the seventies. The reason? Unless you put a nuke on them, they don’t make financial sense. There’s no more expensive way to prosecute a target. The US still uses subsonic cruise missiles because they are much harder to detect and significantly more accurate for the price than any other option. They can literally hit a two-foot bullseye after traveling a thousand miles.
A hypersonic goes very high and will most likely be detected on launch. It then goes low and maneuvers. But the heat generated makes finding the target a thousand miles away very problematic. Sensors fail or become less accurate. Also, targets move, meaning they’re really only good against something that isn’t moving, due to the heat/sensor issues. Assuming they hit the target you have expended a huge amount of money to hit a single target.
I suspect the only reason the US has reactivated the program is because Congress insisted and funded it. Another problem with a fast missile is it must fly higher and Patriot has shot down several missiles in the hypersonic class because “low” to a hypersonic missile is not low enough to evade radar.
We only have 400 million artillery shells stockpiled. We only manufacture 28000 per month. In a real war it seems those stockpiled shells will go fast with no meaningful way to replace them.
Wrong
One "smart" artillery shell is worth about 20 "dumb" shells.
It only takes one side to make war perpetual, and only one side in the current context is propagandizing its’ own population to accept perpetual war, and in both cases that side is Russia.
Yo mean moozlems don’t agree?
