Put Your Tinfoil Hat on For This One...

Actually, you might not need it. I don't know. But it's an interesting thought that I offer you without a whole lot of fleshing out.

In the last year or so, I’ve written about censorship and de-platforming quite a bit. Not just de-platforming but demonetization. Though I’m a staunch advocate of creators owning their own domain URL as a safeguard, I trust that Substack is committed to the freedom of expression for the writers who have helped grow the platform to what it is today. But if I’m being honest, yesterday’s announcement that Substack has launched an iOS app is probably a step toward future censorship, in my opinion. That said, the app is pretty nice.

Anyway, I’m putting the paywall on this post after a brief preview out of an abundance of caution. If you wish to socially destroy me because of this idea, its gonna cost you $65! So, if you’d like to see the whole thing, consider going paid.

I started thinking about Moderna a couple days ago. The company was a massive beneficiary of COVID-19. Largely because of the emergency use authorization that the company landed for its mRNA shots despite a serious lack of market success with mRNA shots before the pandemic began.

While the STONK is still 10 times ahead of where it was pre-COVID, it’s down 49% year to date and has sold off roughly 75% from its 52 week high. I think it’s probably not a stretch to wonder if the money has been made there for those who were “lucky” enough to invest in that name at $15 just a couple years ago.

It got me thinking…

Someone who has done some incredible investigative work recently is Whitney Webb. Her biggest claim to fame is probably her series on Jeffrey Epstein. Coverage that likely directly led to her de-platforming and de-monetization. She was kicked off Patreon last year for mISiNFoRMaTiON without any claim of an actual infraction:

Patreon @PatreonSupport has moved to suspend my account due to alleged "misinformation", but they have been unable to give my a single example of misinfo, instead leaving that part of the email completely blank.

In addition to covering Epstein, she and the contributors to her website Unlimited Hangout were doing work on Klaus Schwab and the WEF long before it was fashionable. Several months before Whitney’s deep dive on Moderna, she collaborated with Johnny Vedmore in a report that shined light on the WEF-led “Cyber Polygon” exercise.

The exercise, much like “Event 201” was to serve as a simulation for a global crisis. Event 201 being of the health variety and Cyber Polygon being of the cyber security variety. In the report, Russian state-backed company Sberbank appears to be positioned as a pioneer for the digitized “everything service” monopoly that would greatly benefit from the kind of QR permission society that vaccine-passports have foreshadowed. To put it in perspective, imagine your bank has access to your entire life and can punish you by turning off any service anytime for whatever reason it deems necessary - that’s what we’re talking about here. While the entire report is worth a read, the two money paragraphs are probably this:

Although Russian Federation authorities are quite used to being out in the cold both politically and physically, there appears to be a change in the usual order of nations. Russia’s inclusion as the leader in such an important global cybersecurity initiative is a bit surprising, especially after Russia has been the scapegoat of choice for any cyberattack committed against any Western power for several years, most recently with the SolarWinds hack in the US. Yet, there was no outcry in the West over Cyber Polygon 2020, in which a company that is majority owned by the Russian government was able to gain direct knowledge of the cyberdefense weaknesses of major global institutions, banks, and corporations through their hosting of the exercise.

And this:

This effort by Sberbank to both digitize and monopolize access to all services, both private and public, may be appealing to some because of its apparent convenience. However, it will also be emblematic of what we can expect from Schwab’s Great Reset—monopolies of fused public- and private-sector entities disguised by the term “stakeholder capitalism.” What the general public does not realize yet is that they themselves will not be included among these “stakeholders,” as the Great Reset has been designed by the bankers and wealthy elite for the bankers and the wealthy elite.

Bold above is my emphasis. Taking these two parts together with the context of Event 201 nearly perfectly foreshadowing COVID, one can draw a conclusion that looks something like this: some sort of large scale cyber attack is probably coming, Russia knows all the pain points, and Sberbank is set up to benefit from whatever the other side of that attack looks like similar to how Moderna was during the pandemic.

Taking it a step further, if a normal every day person with some cash on the sidelines wanted to get ahead of that and profit from crisis like those lucky Moderna investors in 2019 - and I’m not saying profiting from crisis is a good thing, I’m just pointing out it happens - perhaps one would look at ways to invest in Sberbank with shares down 96% year to date?

There’s just one problem, you can’t! American investment in Russian equities is no longer allowed. What a shame. I’m sure somebody is buying those shares though…
