World Economic Forum Megathread (The Great Reset)

I'm just waiting for the disgruntled, bereaved airliner pilot to crash his jet into the Capitol Building come Jan 2021 at this point... In minecraft

There are actually three grids in the US, six if you count NERC regional entities, which is where CIP enforcement happens. I’m showing my power (lol) level here but there’s no central “powerline” or single grid or single point of failure regardless of the weird autistic posts that say so. That’s video game shit, not real world.

Pretty much this.

If there were going to be attacks on the power grid, it'd be piecemeal

With that said, an extended regional blackout caused by sabotage would be enough to seriously wreck some shit up and be considered a national crisis especially if one or more major coastal metropolitan areas were in that region.

It's scary to know how fragile everything really is. It may not be as quick and chaotic as the video games and Tom Clancy novels make it out to be, but any major societal disruption in the United States would be in the form of a chain reaction that starts off small and then snowballs into something worse.

It might be not the right thread to post that one but the DoD removed Kissinger.

The Department of Defense has removed several members of its Defense Policy Board, including two former secretaries of state and a former house majority leader, Foreign Policy reports.

Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright, Eric Cantor, David McCormick and Rudy de Leon were among the 11 notable advisers to be removed from the board earlier this week.


''As part of long-considered changes, we can confirm that several members of the Department’s Defense Policy Board have been removed,'' an official said.

''I am grateful to the departing board members, many of whom have served for decades. As we adapt the Department for great power competition, I look forward to naming new board members in the coming days,'' the official added.

We just had the largest DDos attack in history
Amazon Web Services (AWS) reports that in February 2020, they defended against a 2.3 -terabit-per-second (Tbps) distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack

https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/largest-ddos-attack-in-history/

There have also been big attacks on healthcare infrastructure as well. A couple of the big providers who do things like remotely read ECGs has DDOS and data breaches. It was clearly targeted attacks.

Remember when Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon predicted a war in Georgia down to the year, 7 years in advance?

Nothing good ever begins with the statement, ”Welcome to Tbilisi, gentlemen!”

To be fair, anyone with even a remote understanding of the region and its history at the time could've predicted a war in Georgia with Russia.

It'd be exponentially worse in the current situation what with literally everything being online...

I'm telling you, this "pandemic" was planned well before New Year's.

Well, the digital ID / health passport thing that was warned about back in October by people claiming to be leakers turned out to be true:

"The airline industry will seek to persuade the new “minister for jabs” that recipients of a vaccine for coronavirus should get an internationally recognised certificate that can be included in a digital passport designed to ease travel."

‘Digital Covid passport’ linked to vaccine could revive travel

As the UK and many other countries prepare to vaccinate tens of millions of citizens, airlines fear confusion over certification

The United Nations also rolled out the UN ID. Centralized data and use of Blockchain technology, which will contain your health, work, travel, and banking information, etc.

I always thought this was insane, and it still is. But this clip from Zeitgeist is feeling more real everyday.

Potential doompost. If you're having a bad day go read something else.

Everyone likes to imagine the lights going out, because they can deal with that. At least they think they can. It'll just be like camping, right?

What will society be like when the Social Security checks don't automatically deposit in the bank?

How will people react when food stamp benefits don't load onto the cards?

Medicaid and Medicare? Without all the computer files on patients and doctors, and the workers that make sure the payments get from one place to the other, how will prescriptions get paid for? For that matter, if the pharmacy doesn't have access to the patient's and doctor's files how can they fill anything?

The potential for fuckery is unimaginably horrific. Here's hoping it gets sorted out, just like how people feared Y2K problems but everything was okay in the end.

I always thought the biggest threat to all that is another thing like the carrington event. It’s quite sobering to realise how fragile and how much of a target a purely electronic bureaucracy is.

I think we've already had a Great Reset fairly recently, which really killed art and imagination. I'm not that old, but I remember growing up there were amusement parks, water parks, arcades, interactive museums, and historical replicas and now 90% of them are replaced by condos, box stores, and government buildings. Hell, even quite a few festivals no longer exist.

I was working on a few creative projects and even the relatively simple creative ideas have logistical issues, for example it's a pain to find someone to print trading cards for a homebrew game.

 

[FatalTater]

Okay I've done had myself a thought.

Nevada has been having earthquakes like crazy lately. Mostly 2s and 3s, but they just has a 5.

Aren't there power plants that tap into the volcanoes there and use the steam for energy? What happens if those power plants fail? Where do the lights go out?

Don't forget about Hoover Dam.

Internet killed it. Seriously. What we used to cherish locally have completely disappeared over a period of two decades. I live in a small town and I can testify to this slow decline. We used to celebrate parade yearly and it was a big deal. Hundreds of people gathered once a year. Everyone knew about it. Over time it just disappeared. Magic was gone.

Internet. As great as it is. Destroyed all the connectivity we had as neighbour.

This is legitimately true, and it's scary. I heard about a mid-sized retailer getting their internal computer network and bank accounts fucked up by ransomware. All of their internal operations ground to a halt because their employees could do zero work. All of their supply chains had to be coordinated with phone, private email, and recorded on paper. All of their stores could barely function, like they had to go cash only because credit/debit cards wouldn't work. The company is going to lose a fuckton of money over this.

Now imagine that but applied to ALL of society. Or even just a region. Like say we shut down the power in some region of like 50 million people, i.e. several states and major metro areas or 2-3 European countries worth. Even for a few weeks that would nuke the economy because our lifestyle is totally centered around electricity and connectivity. Even just turning off the internet to an area that large would have insanely destructive effects.

The only reason the global elite won't do this is because it turns off their greatest asset--the internet and the incredible totalitarian potential of it. Old-school totalitarianism simply doesn't work because there's all sorts of places the government can't see you in. Computers and the internet have made it much harder to hide.

Aren't there power plants that tap into the volcanoes there and use the steam for energy? What happens if those power plants fail? Where do the lights go out?

They use pockets of heat to boil water to turn a steam engine. If they fail they become a useless bunch of metal pilings and pipes.

But what are those engines powering? I doubt they're tapping into the steam to run engines just for funsies. Mina Nevada would send energy to where? Other small towns? Las Vegas? Over to California? Who would miss a power plant or two? Anyone important?

If you live in parts of the Western US, they're powering the computer you're reading this post on. I mean it's just a source of energy and you'd have to scale it up a few orders of magnitude and drill into the mantle to actually do anything cool with Earth's internal heat budget like make volcanic eruptions and severe earthquakes on demand (geothermal can only make weak earthquakes like fracking does at best).

It doesn't provide too much of the US's energy either, even though it could and it's basically green energy anyway.

Daily reminder that the Great Reset is nothing but an Alt-Reich, CHUD, conspiracy theory. It's DEBUNKED. DEBUNKED, I say!

re. the suicide talk in the main thread: Watch this be used as an argument to further restrict gun access and make it an even bigger police state than it already is.
