The second edition of “The Plot to Seize Russia – The Untold History” is now available for purchase in paperback and hardcover on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The ebook will be available shortly.

Book description:

“Take care of Russia,” Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.

So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.

On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

The Plot to Seize Russia pulls back the curtain to expose the most extraordinary attempt to seize power in modern history, but with the pen rather than armies. These declassified documents reveal a plot that has altered our thinking about the relations between the United States and Russia. The thirst for power comes seething through every line of these papers that alter our perception of reality, change the course of history, and now threaten us with World War III.

QUESTION: Marty, you always criticized the gold bugs for claiming gold rises with inflation. You are the only one who projected $5,000 gold, and you said it would be on geopolitics. I think you also said it could reach $10,000 by 2032. You also said we were headed into a global recession, but it would be stagflation because of shortages. Well, we have silver shortages, but buy prices are $15+ below spot. I just saw you on Russia Today talking about Germany recalling its gold from the United States and explaining the rift between the US and EU and the Indian trade deal how Russia can sell its oil to India, they refine it, and send it to Europe circumventing Trump’s tariffs. Can you shed any light on this crazy world?

Pete

ANSWER: In gold, the next major resistance level is at 7600. Yes, by 2032, that target was $8,350 to $10,000. The crisis in the Euro has not changed. We still see that in 2029. Now, as far as the discount in silver if you try to sell, the dealers are flooded. The refineries are so backed up that it can take 2 to 3 months to get paid. That is the reason for the discount. Plus, a lot of silver is being sold on the market by people who have held it for decades. I was told today that they are not even buying 90% silver coins because they cannot refine anything right now.

The problem with the Euro is the underlying economic crisis, which is the entire reason for instigating war with Russia. This is all becoming chaotic. The EU is turning its back on the US, as is Canada, and of course India. NYSE (U.S.) has a capitalization of $28–30 trillion in market value. All of the European Exchanges (combined) have only a capitalization of $18–20 trillion in market value. With war becoming inevitable in Europe, the capital flows to the dollar will unfold once again as it did for World War I and II. Between now and 2032, this is going to be  chaotic period to say the least.

COMMENT: Well, these economists and market soothsayers will never match Socrates or your Economic Confidence Model. Consumer Confidence just collapsed to a 12-year low. Amazing how you can forecast recessions years in advance.

LK

ANSWER: These people reject even the idea of a regular cycle, for that means that they cannot manipulate society. If they cannot manipulate the economy to retain power, OMG, then the future requires fiscal management, not mismanagement.

US consumer confidence has plummeted in January to the lowest level in 12 years on more pessimistic views of the future. The press will tout that Americans are worried about the nation’s economy, inflation, and a weakening labor market. But they are also concerned that we have NOT freed ourselves from these Neocon Endless Wars.  The figure was the lowest since May 2014 and fell short of all economists’ estimates.

The capture of Valerian I (253-260AD) was the first time a Roman Emperor had ever been captured in battle. Bankers were not sure if they should even accept Roman coinage. That set in motion the Crisis of the 3rd Century AD. Can you image if Trump was captured by China or Russia and the uncertainty that would set off globally?

I have researched the centuries and the common denominator is CONFIDENCE. Once a government loses the confidence of the people, it can no longer survive.

We are in a recessionary trend GLOBALLY into 2028. Europe is now insisting that they no longer need the United States. They can conquer Russia all by themselves for the 6th time. The next ECM turning point will be July 2026. Just review how many markets are all showing high volatility or Panic Cycles in July. TIMING is everything.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nauseda, and Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki met to commemorate the 1863 January Uprising against Russian rule. Even though 163 years have passed, politicians still believe that Russia is an enemy that could attempt to conquer their land at a moment’s notice. The Europeans simply cannot help themselves. They NEVER learn from history, and that is why history keeps repeating itself. Kyiv Post ran an article with the headline “Russia and Its Leaders Will Always be a Threat to Europe” that basically sums up the mindset that has been driving this entire conflict from day one.

“Policies backing a ‘reset’ with the Russian Federation are disappearing, but one thing remains unchanged: whether it’s Tsarist Russia, Bolshevik Russia, or Vladimir Putin’s Russia, our countries, now independent, still face the same threat from the Russian Federation,” Poland’s President Nawrocki said. He added: “The countries of central and eastern Europe were not wrong in their opinions about the Russian threat, even at a time when western Europe was still focused on climate policy or letting in illegal immigrants.”

— Gitanas Nausėda (@GitanasNauseda) January 25, 2026

This is the same propaganda cycle that we have seen for centuries. You demonize the opponent, you claim they are inherently aggressive, you declare that they will “never change,” and then you justify endless war spending, suppression of dissent, and total economic destruction at home. President Nawrocki admitted that Europe will always view Russia as a threat, regardless of who is in charge.

The real threat is Europe’s leadership, which is dragging the continent into an economic depression. Every time they push sanctions, weaponize trade, and centralize power in Brussels, they accelerate the capital flight and the collapse in confidence. People do not understand that wars are not just fought with weapons. They are fought with capital flows. Once confidence breaks in government, money moves. That is why gold rises when people are trying to get OUT of the system. They are trying to escape the arbitrary rule of government and the risk of confiscation, capital controls, or banking restrictions. Europe is walking right into that trap again.

And of course, once they create this narrative that “Russia will ALWAYS be a threat,” then there is no room for peace. You cannot negotiate with someone you claim is permanently evil. That is the entire point. If peace breaks out, then the excuses for authoritarian policy at home disappear. The budget scams get exposed. The censorship ends. And the public begins asking why they were sacrificed for a political agenda.

This is why I have warned that the war cycle is rising into 2026. War becomes the tool of last resort for governments that have destroyed their own economies and need an external enemy to blame. It is not about defending Ukraine. It is about preserving a system that is collapsing under sovereign debt, energy shortages, and political corruption.

China’s President Xi Jinping praised India for its friendship as India celebrated its 77^th Republic Day. Xi exclaimed that China-India relations are of “great significance for maintaining and promoting ​world peace and prosperity,” as he praised their alliance, adding, “dragon and the elephant dancing together.”

The two nuclear powers share a 2,400 mile border that has been the culprit of disputes over the years. In 2020, a heated fight at the border led to the deaths of 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers. Both sides increased their military presence along the Himalayan border, but after five years, the nations realigned based on trade, the great peacemaker.

India is not Europe. It is not beholden to a centralized power source. India still thinks in terms of nationhood, sovereignty, and survival. That is why it is rising. It will not destroy itself to satisfy some international bureaucrat or climate agenda. That puts India in a unique position in the emerging multipolar world.

China also understands something Europe does not–you cannot fight on too many fronts. We have countless historical examples. Napoleon did not lose because he lacked courage. He lost because he expanded too far, opened too many fronts, and logistics collapsed. Empires do not die from one battle. They die from overstretch, internal division, and loss of confidence. China does not want a major escalation with India while it is already managing Taiwan tensions, trade wars, and internal economic strains. China does not need another neighboring enemy.

India will benefit from this shift because it is being viewed as an alternative manufacturing base and a political counterweight. That does not mean India is “anti-China.” It means India is becoming strategically indispensable. China does not want India firmly locked into the Western sphere, and India is benefiting from remaining neutral.

The EU has now given its final approval to a legally binding ban on Russian gas imports, pretending this is some grand moral victory. Reuters is reporting that the EU will stop importing Russian LNG by the end of 2026 and ban pipeline gas by September 30, 2027, with some flexibility to extend under certain conditions.

The press constantly frames this as “standing up to Russia,” but in reality, this has been nothing more than a shift from one supplier to another while pretending it is independence. Russia was once supplying over 40% of EU gas. By 2025, they managed to reduce it to around 13%. Yet some countries are still buying Russian energy because you cannot run an industrial economy on ideology. Of course, Hungary and Slovakia opposed this, and Bulgaria abstained. Hungary says it plans to challenge this legally. Centralized power strips individual member states of all autonomy, and all nations must abide by Brussels even if it will lead to financial ruin or war.

The EU’s entire problem is that it is run by politicians who do not understand economics, capital flows, or even basic history. They have no comprehension that the energy cost is the cost of production. When you deliberately raise the cost of energy, you raise the cost of EVERYTHING. That is not “Putin’s inflation.” That is EU inflation, caused by EU policy.

I warned that sanctions would trigger disruptions and excuses for supply cuts, and that Europe would be the one paying the price. The EU is heading into a depression because of its own deliberate policy decisions. Net Zero, sanctions, eliminating nuclear energy, attacking farmers, destroying industry, regulating everything to death, and now pretending you can just ban the energy inputs that built modern Europe.

Europe is banning Russian gas not because it makes economic sense, but because the EU has turned policy into religion and demands ideological conformity.

QUESTION: The Kremlin refuses to end the war in Ukraine unless the Donbas region is surrendered. Zelensky has previously stated he will not hand over the Donbas region to Moscow. This looks like what you have said. No resolution. Are we headed into more warfare in February/March?

DG

ANSWER: Zelensky is a piece of shit and that’s a complement since he is far worse than that. He does not represent Ukraine and he takes his orders from the EU and NATO. Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia broke apart according to ethnic regions. The Minsk Agreement was the answer and I will remind everyone that Ukrainians hate the Russian people no different than Hamas vs Israel or Iran vs Israel.

In May 2014, precisely on target, the Ukrainians began to attack Russians on the street in Odessa, beating them and killing them. They wanted all Russians dead, and the Western Press turned a blind eye endorsing genocide as long as they were Russian.  The hatred in Ukraine of non-Ukrainians goes back to the ethnic cleansing they engaged in when they were Nazis. They hate Russians, along with all other minorities they hate and do not trust. The Donbas moved to separate after the Ukrainian were killing ethnic Russians on the street. If Russia surrendered the Donbas to Zelensky, they will carry out a massive genocide. Zelensky has already outlawed their religion, their language, and ordered that Christmas will no longer be in January but December 25th. The Western press refuses to tell the truth and as such, they are paid to ensure we get war.

When we look at the blood war between Ukraine and Russia, we will reach a very critical turning point June 13th, 2026. Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia was very close to considering to nuke Ukraine last December when Zelensky attempted for a 3rd time to assassinate Putin.

President Trump has responded to the threats by Iran to kill him personally. As he said, such an act would warrant the total obliteration of a country that violated international law. Zelensky sent drones to try to kill Putin when flying in his helicopter. He knows that would set in motion World War III. That was what he was hand-picked for this job. Yet Zelensky continues to assassinate Russians whenever he gets the chance and NATO cheers him on as they cannot wait to start war.

The target on NATO Agression is September 2nd, 2026. NOBODY seems to want peace. That is simple, Ukraine MUST honor the Minsk Agreement it signed, allow the people of the Donbas to vote on their own future. They surely will not want to be part of Ukraine which has been the mother-country of ethnic cleansing. They joined Hitler are he promised them their own country if they killed all the Jews, Polish, Hungarian, and their favorite – Russians. That’s why the CIA protected the Ukrainian Nazis and not a single one was put on trial at Nuremburg.

It was Kiev that started this war NOT Russia. They declared everyone in the Donbas to be a terrorist because they moved to separate after the Ukrainians were slaughtering Russians in Odessa. Anyone who thinks this is being a Putin supporter, grab your gun, go to Ukraine and defend the people would support.

The EU signed a peace deal and lied to Russia never intending to honor it. Merkel admitted publicly that they were buying time for Ukraine to build an army to start World War III.

Before Russia crossed the border to defend the Donbas, Putin told Zelensky to his face that honoring the Minsk Agreement was paramount.

Our computer has gone flatline on Ukraine. It will NOT survive as we know it. Zelensky is lining his pockets and is sacrificing Ukraine at the direction of the Neocons. The Ukrainian people are just pawns on a chessboard for NATO. Nobody gives a second thought about the Ukrainian people.

Why Trump’s Art of the Deal Cannot Work in a Blood Feud

Trump thinks he’s negotiating a real estate deal. He sees territorial disputes over the Donbas, security guarantees, and NATO membership as “very thorny issues” that can be resolved through compromise. Get both sides to give a little, split the difference, shake hands, move on. The problem is you cannot negotiate with a Ukrainian. Sorry, I have tried. I even had two employees in Ukraine one on each side. You cannot reason. If you brought a bottle of vodka to dinner in Kiev and it was Russian, they regarded that as an insult and you were lucky if they did not smash it over your head and this was all before 2014.

This isn’t a real estate negotiation. This is even more than a regime survival. This is a deeply engrained blood feud. This has escalated to the point that the West does NOT appreciate the seriousness here.  Putin isn’t fighting now just for the Donbas. He’s fighting to stay politically alive. Accepting a peace deal that leaves Ukraine in control of the Donbas invites WWIII. If Putin were forced out of Ukraine, this will be Coup #3 and then you will get a Russia Neocon who would have no problem engaging in WWIII knowing this is not about Ukraine, this is about the destruction of Russia. Coup #1 took place in 1964 after Khrushchev was forced to backdown after the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Then Coup #2 was against Gorbachev after fears he might accept the deal to join NATO. Putin is NOT a hardline Neocon nor is he a Communist. That is why Boris Yeltsin turned to him for the Communists had filed a motion to impeach him trying to stage Coup #3 to take Russia back to the USSR.

It is amazing to me how the press keep cheering the idea of defeating Putin. They cannot see the big picture nor can they contemplate what would be the next step. Russia does have Moscow ringed with Neutron Missiles. For those who do not know that a Neutron bomb is, let me explain it. A neutron bomb is a type of nuclear bomb, but it’s a special design that optimizes one effect (radiation) while minimizing others (blast and heat). Even if you are in a bunker, a neutron bomb generates such intense radiation that it would penetrate shelters, buildings, and even reach into a bunker killing the people inside without causing major damage to the structure. However, what this would also do is actually neutralize an incoming nuclear missile. It would fry all electronics.

Besides Russia’s hypersonic missiles, it also has the Shkval (VA-111 Shkval) rocket torpedo. It travels inside a bubble within water. The “bubble” is the key to its incredible speed. This is known as  Supercavitation. Instead of trying to move through dense water, the Shkval creates a giant, continuous gas bubble (a cavity) around its entire body. This reduces the friction with a Gas Generator. The nose of the torpedo has a cavitator. As it moves, a gas generator (usually burning fuel) expels hot gas through this nose, creating and maintaining the bubble.

Inside this bubble of gas, the torpedo experiences dramatically reduced hydrodynamic drag—essentially, it’s flying through a gas envelope rather than plowing through water. This allows it to reach speeds impossible for conventional torpedoes. It is know to have Reported Speeds of 200 knots and possibly greater (approximately 230 mph or 370 km/h). This is 4-5 times faster than a standard Western torpedo (which typically travels 40-50 knots). Its propulsion instead of a propeller is a solid-fuel rocket engine for its initial sprint, then a liquid-fuel ramjet for sustained speed in later models.

The Western press make it sound that Russia is weak, and we can take them with zero causalities with one arm tied behind our back. Putin is NOT a Neocon. If he were, Ukraine would be leveled by now. Replace Putin and you will get a Neocon who will be as irresponsible our our Neocons who have no regard for human life. They think this is a video game of Maro Brothers and they have to win at all costs, which is everyone else’s children – never their own.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you warned that Iran would face a crisis in February 2026. You also said Iran would enter a period of extreme conflict with the turning point in 2024. Now we have ships moving to Iran. Socrates has been showing a sharp rise in volatility beginning in February into September. I understand you are a trader and not a theoretical academic. Did you have any idea in creating Socrates that you not just disproved Random Walk Theory, but you created a system that does more than just forecast markets?

Robert S.

ANSWER: The September 2022 protests in Iran began this last wave which does not end until early 2027. This is the culmination of the Islamic Revolution that began in 1979. If you look at a chart of a market, what you will typically see is that a bull market is a longer drawn out period of time than a bear market. There are basic cyclical actions generated by human emotions insofar as we tend to take a longer period of time to gain confidence in something but we tend to lose that confidence in the blink of an eye.

Socrates proves every single day that the BS of Randam Walk and Efficient Market Theories are absurd for unless you are a trader and look into the eyes of your opponent, you will never comprehend the world economy. It is like playing poker. People do not always bet on fact. Sometimes its a gut feeling – a hunch. Everyone acts out of their own self-interest and that combination is so fundamental to everything, those who seek to control society and rule over us from above have no respect for we, the Great Unwashed. It is always about them – not us.

When I created Socrates, it was because I was a trader.  I was interested in hedging from the 1970s because I was a market maker in gold. Because I was probably the first to venture into the field of forecasting foreign exchange, I ended up with clients around the world. Our reports use to go out by telex and in the ’80s the cost could be up to $75 per market per day. So we had only the biggest clients back then because the average person could never afford the communication costs. That was the reason I began to open offices around the world to bring down the communication costs.

As one of the first International Hedge Fund Managers from 1985, Socrates was an amazing assistant. It was teaching me things by forcing me to look at things that were not always obvious at first glance.

I was doing a TV spot I think in 1982. It was FNN that became CNBC. I was doing an interview with Walter Bressert. I gave our forecast that the British pound would fall to par by 1985. The pound was near the $2 level at the time so it was about a 50% drop. The host was shocked. He turned to Walt and asked – “What do you think about that forecast?” Walt and I were good friends. He replied, “I would not bet against his computer.”

Socrates has made so many amazing forecasts far beyond what any human could possibly do because there is an array of variables globally that it just takes a computer to track. It is not a neural net. Those have never succeeded. Even IBM sold off its WATSON when it failed to meet expectations. Why everyone has tried to mimic Socrates have missed the point. What I did was completely different. I coded myself into the system. I taught Socrates HOW TO ANALYZE. I did not throw all the data into a neural net and hope it would figure it out all on its own. AI that is out there may be impressing people, but they are language models. They can search the existing data and retrive the answer.

However, these AI Language Models will never be able to learn how to trade or discover the cure for cancer as IBM thought with WATSON. They are NOT capable of discovery because to discover anything, it takes curiosity and that cannot be coded.

It was the central bank of Lebanon that found data in their basement and asked if we could do a model on their their country. I have told this story often how we entered the data and out came a forecast that their country was going to fall apart in 8 days. I thought there was something wrong with the data. The computer projected a parabolic move I tend to call a Phase Transition. They calmly asked which currency would be better. I said the Swiss franc. The computer was correct and 8 days later the civil war began. That is what opened my eyes to the ability of Socrates to forecast geopolitical events. They saw the capital moving and came to us for the timing. We included their currency in our 1985 World Economic Conference.

I had a client who was one of the biggest shippers in the Middle East. He called one day and asked what gold would tomorrow because Iraq was going to start attacking ships in the Gulf to put economic pressure on Iran. I came to realize that someone ALWAYS knows the inside story ahead of war and begins to move their capital accordingly. The computer tracks the capital flows globally and in forecasting markets, it was also inevitably forecasting war and geopolitical events.

As I have explained many times, gold rallied into 1980 not because of inflation and the dollar, it rose from $480 to $875 on geopolitical events when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to support a fellow Communist government against the rise of insurgents on December 24th, 1979. Gold peaked January 21st, 1980 at $875 cash.

I have paid the price for inventing something that had national security implications. I offered to run any study the CIA wanted. They bluntly told me that they had to own it. I said Socrates was not for sale. To even film the Forecaster, everything had to be proven in order to get insurance to make that movie. It was insured by Lloyds of London against slander and libel. The piece of evidence was an email to a lawyer demanding I turn over the source code in order to allow the company to continue forecasting. They fired 240 employees and stole their pension funds. That is how honorable the government is when they want something.

The SEC even used our research during 911. Just a month after the attacks the SEC sent out a list of stocks to various securities firms around the world looking for information. The list includes stocks of American, United, Continental, Northwest, Southwest and US Airways airlines, as well as Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American International Group, AMR Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA Financial, Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services, Hercules Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife, Progressive Corp., General Motors, Raytheon, W.R. Grace, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Lone Star Technologies, American Express, the Citigroup Inc. ,Royal & Sun Alliance, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Vornado Reality Trust, Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co., XL Capital Ltd., and Bear Stearns.

My track record over decades proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Random Walk Theory and Efficient Market Hypothesis are complete bullshit. If they were true, then they would have left me alone and our employees. They did their best to stop the forecasting and to steal my life’s work. I never intended to create something that would be of National Security. Why do you think the House Judiciary Committee would NEVER dare investigate my case with judges committing felonies that would force them to actually take action in the name of justice and the constitution?

They spell Justice differently – Just Us!

The WEF isn’t satisfied controlling your energy, food, and money—now they’re coming for water.

Gim Huay Neo, WEF Managing Director, spins this as "valuing water as a global common good"—but let’s translate the elitist doublespeak:

? "Sustainable management" =… pic.twitter.com/PLF0WubCMG

— Camus (@newstart_2024) August 11, 2025

The globalists have found a new, extremely efficient mechanism to control the masses—water. The World Economic Forum stated that 2026 will be “the year of water,” as the globalists devise a method to control a life essential. Blue has become the new green, and in the coming years, we will see a new market emerge as centralized powers quantify and control the global water supply.

“The water crisis will be high on the agenda at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, with the launch of major new initiatives that aim to move the world forward on taking action on all water systems – ocean and freshwater,” the WEF announced on its website, noting that there will be the third UN Water Conference in December of this year.

The globalists have identified each nation’s main water sources. They are scheming methods to determine how much water humans are using, who is using too much, and how they can control our access to water. Changing water temperatures will be cited as another reason to surrender power to the centralized elite. “Blue economy ventures” will replace green initiatives.

Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, a Austian businessman, was Klaus Schwab’s successor after the staged coup that caused Schwab to step down from his role. The 81-year-old Austrian businessman spent his career working for Nestle, moving through the ranks from 1968 to 1997 when he was appointed CEO, a position he held until 2008. He remained at Nestle as a chairman until 2017, when he was appointed as Chairman Emeritus.

Brabeck-Letmathe held board memberships with Credit Suisse, Roche, Exxon Mobil, L’Oréal, and Salt Mobile SA. He was the founder and chairman of the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG), a public-private partnership within the World Bank.

The 2030 Water Resources Group (2030 WRG) is a global multi-stakeholder partnership that brings together governments, the private sector, and civil society to address the growing challenges of water scarcity and water management worldwide. This program was first launched at the WEF’s Davos in 2008, and naturally, Nestlé is a major partner as well. Demand for water will outweigh supply by 2030, the group insists, and its goal is to manage the world’s water supply.

“The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution,” Brabeck-Letmathe stated in a 2005 documentary entitled “We Feed the World.” He believes that everyone should have access to water, but only for essential needs, which he believes amounts to 50-100 liters of clean water per day.

Nestle extracts free-flowing water, bottles it up in plastic containers, and marks it up for a profit. The company has acquired water extraction rights across North America, permitting it to extract large volumes of water from public lands, springs, and aquifers, often siphoning far more than the law permits. The company effectively found a way to privatize access to water. Many communities have gone without water due to the company’s control over the water supply. The company has no concern for the environment or human rights, and this is merely the tip of the iceberg in terms of their corrupt practices.

"Water" serves a dual purpose in their eyes.

Beyond their "monetizing nature" scam, they also see the "conversation around water" as a tool to manipulate people into accepting the broader climate change agenda too.

As they claimed at Davos…

"Climate change is a bit abstract,… https://t.co/iQH5gUy7S7 pic.twitter.com/WxpHk19Y7A

— HelioWave (@heliodown) March 20, 2025

What better way to control the masses than to control the water supply? Remember, the World Economic Forum has strongly advocated banning independent farming and gardening. Everything they ban is under the premise of protecting the climate, but as you can see, the new WEF CEO has never cared about the environment.

Climate change has lost its urgency as the Earth continues to spin despite endless cries of the end of times. As a WEF partner noted at Davos this year, the importance of water is more tangible than the broad scope of “climate change.” “Climate change is a bit abstract, but everyone understands how important water is.” She then explains how they can exploit this to “experiment with the notion of the common good.”

Water will be quantified and valued. “The cost of water must be clear and account for the full financial costs associated with its sustainable supply and use,” the WEF said in a published report on “holistic water valuation.” There is now a market for water. Perhaps next they will create one for air.

The WEF partnered with the United Nations to encourage “global policy coherence” and increased investment to manage the world’s water supply. It is no conspiracy – globalist entities are scheming ways to manage our water usage. These unelected entities believe they can deem what constitutes essential and non-essential water usage. Brabeck-Letmathe believes that 98.5% of the freshwater used for farming and agriculture should be classified as an economic good priced to reduce waste. Controlling the water supply will also permit them to control the food supply.

Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has spent a lifetime studying methods for privatizing water. In the video above, Brabeck-Letmathe said that Klaus Schwab asked him why he wanted to focus on water over CO2 and the Earth’s warming. “I think our real problem is more urgent—it’s on the water side.” He later noted that governments must first believe that they have a water crisis and then partner with the private sector to solve this new problem. Agenda 2030 did not die with Schwab’s departure. There is a new leader at the helm and a new focus to usurp ultimate control over the global population.
