I'm giving in to temptation and posting this, in case it is useful for anyone here. Although it can be argued we have not gone unequivocally through all of stages 1-4, this is not a fixed template. To my mind, our forced mRNA vaccinations and world-wide lockdowns were, in fact, an attempt at a Stage 5 to complete the capture of everything.
I would say we should expect another attempt at Stage Five complete takeover within a year or three. The US could probably have lost almost all remaining world-wide respect by then.
I read an estimate that US dollar reserve currency gives us about ONE TRILLION dollars worth of FREE imports per year. (We print digits on a computer at no cost and then use it to buy oil and manufactured goods from China). Try to imagine the hit to the economy when that magic act no longer works, and we "discover" we have off shored most of our manufacturing.
Weaponizing the SWIFT system and US reserve currency status, in response to Russia not kneeling, was not smart. LOSING the proxy war, is going to go down in the history books as the stupidest move by a world empire in world history.
Unless, of course, that was all part of a greater worldwide takedown plan from the beginning. The US dollar was eventually going to lose Reserve Currency standing, but it didn't have to be so definitive and sudden as this. Or maybe it did - as peak oil and globalization of the US supply chain was not going to end well in any event.
