It has to be about asserting global control - data grabbing - entrenching centralized protocols on the planet - winding back individual freedoms.

This interview is somewhat related to your comment.

I don't know a whole lot about David Morgan, but the ever voluptuous Daniela Cambone gets a lot of interesting people on her show. Among other things, Morgan says that the Ukraine war is about a lot more than Ukraine. It's about the future of the global financial system. He also predicts that some major event in the future, perhaps a large hack, perhaps a red flag event, perhaps not, could give western govts. the excuse to require everyone to prove their identity online, and this is in preparation for a move to digital currency.

A digital currency is the end of any anonymity in one's commercial life. I know a little, well a lot more than most people actually, about how these currencies work. China has already issued theirs. As a Bitcoin or Ethereum, they're fine, but in the hands of a govt., centralized, they're bad news.
