 Sounds like an interesting book.

I have sometimes wondered if Satoshi was an individual who defected from the establishment or if he always was an outsider. Both scenarios could explain his visionary new pathstaking and oppositional course in relation to the corrupt moneyprinting system.

One interesting aspect with insiders that defect is the amount of corruption they have seen and how it finally pushes them to take a stand against it. "Dropships burning off the shoulder of Orion", comes to mind in the sense of someone recounting the things that they have witnessed but few others have seen. Insider insights must leave a mark.

It is interesting to consider how Trump used to be part of the establishment and praised by the MSM. Over the past 8 years we have seen a development where Trump has favored American energy interests and subsequently voiced opposition to the global climate agenda, which in turn has placed him at an adversial angle toward the UN Agenda 21, perhaps without knowing what kind of behemoth he was becoming an enemy with.

He has kept his focus on American energy maximization (drill, baby, drill) in spite of becoming unpopular among the climate alarmist governments + media in the US, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Brussels et al. I would call all of these government entities a part of the Western deep state, and Trump has upset their plans. This doesn't necessarily make Trump into a hero, flawed as any person is, but it explains the assassination attempt - he is too much of an obstacle for the estsblishment. It is easier for them to carry on with their plans if Trump (or some other opposition) is not in the oval office.

The likely long term plan of the deep state is the establishment of the UN as a global government and as such, nationalistic or populist impulses that might offer a defensive barrier to a UN power grab must in their mind be eradicated.

Yet, there must be an abundance of engineers, system designers and highly qualified individuals that have seen the metaphorical dropships off the shoulder off Orion, who have seen the corruption and direction of the central planning system.

At $35 Trillion of US debt and as of present when 75% of US tax revenue goes to pay off the interest of the US debt alone, the point of realization that the system cannot be fixed by its architects must be widespread at this moment.

Governments are run by policy. Policy is a progran code and the downstream implications of such code can be predicted.

The signing of the UN Agenda 21 by 179 nations back in 1992 marks a significant software update to both the operative system of 179 nations as well as the ideological framework. This imvolves a blending of the governance structure with a deep belief in a human-made climate catastrophy as an urgent, all-encompassing Weltanschauung that cannot and must not be critiqued. Shoot it down and the architecture of a planned global governance crumbles.

Then there is the circulation of elites. There was a point in time when Ceaușescu could no longer command and move the masses with his speech and the public had arrived at a stage where they had had enough of the oppression. At that point the military naturally defected to team up with the new rising opposition and so the previous barrier of defence of Ceaușescu, became his bane.

Since fabricated climate fears alone are not sufficient to forge a global governance structure with the UN at its apex, the WHO became involved to offer a second path to global governance: the fear of pandemics and the global regulatory framework that can bind nations together under a centralized command: the UN and the WHO. An attempt at crafting a one ring to rule them all. Global regulations can form such a tightening ring of control.

The chances for major power struggles among the participants of this global coup de etat are legion. A large number of insiders may be on the verge of defecting from the global 1984 project, if they haven't already taken an internal stance against it.

As smaller nations are adopting hard money (Bitcoin) at a faster rate than larger natioms, this creates an inverse relationship between present economic power and future economic power, allowing game theory to play out.

The game theory of nations attracting capital (Bitcoin), entrepreneurs and skill, in exchange for offering individual liberties, low taxes and respect for property rights in return, will offer a strong counter-movement against global governance.

Those that defect from the system will be able to join in a multitude of forming Galt's Gulches. Once again in history we may witness a rotation of the elites. Churn is inevitable.
