Issues discussed:
The Bilderberg group.
The means to establish control, and the likely aims of the global elite.
Forecasts of the current Apocalypse scenario, i.e., what’s next (in the worst-case).
My life has been filled with history. Like I mentioned before, my mother is a retired lecturer of history and society, and historical events and knowledge have been the bread and butter of our discussions since childhood. I consider this to be one of my most precious assets helping me to uncover the hidden aspects behind global developments, simply because it provides me a wider (more insightful) vision.
I have also been a “scenario thinker” for most of my life. I’ve been especially drawn to adverse scenarios, probably partly due to the tragedy of the early death of my father. I know, from personal experience, that highly adverse scenarios do sometimes materialize.
For a period of a little over two years, I’ve been gradually building an “Apocalypse scenario”. There were two main culprits for it.
While I strongly supported the first set of Corona lockdowns in Finland, after following the spread of the Coronavirus since mid-January 2020 (see our warning from 30 January 2020), the second to fourth lockdowns made absolutely no sense. The deliberate efforts of the cabinet of PM Sanna Marin to destroy our constitutional freedoms were something that I also had difficulties understanding. In early 2021, the answer arrived from our Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, whose senior official told me at a private meeting, that since summer 2020, all the instructions on how the cabinet was to handle the pandemic came from outside Finland. As this person was one of the officials in charge of Finnish Corona policies, I had no reasons to suspect this account. Basically, the statement directly implied high treason conducted by Prime Minister Marin.
The whole Corona catastrophe, including the largest medical human experiment in history (the corona-vaccination campaign), led me to question my view of how the world works and who were pulling the strings. As a result, in December 2021, we published a special report on the Great Reset, which is a collection of policies, driven by the World Economic Forum (WEF), with somewhat unclear, but likely sinister goals. We took the publicly announced goals and policies of the Great Reset (from now on GR) and ran standard economic policy analyses on them. Our analysis yielded an earthmoving conclusion, which we summarized as:
They [GR policies] can, and probably will, take decision-making to a global level into undemocratic and often opaque institutions. They are, quite simply, direct threat to democratic processes and decision-making. They threaten, or have already taken, the true power from citizens to ‘halls’ of supranational entities.
Alas, we concluded that we had, most likely, already lost the control of our societies to different secretive groups to which the WEF seemed to act as an umbrella organization. I am calling the people running these secretive organizations the “elite”.
In this entry, I will briefly summarize, what I have learned from this elite and their aims. It is not meant to be a comprehensive picture (not by a long shot) and some parts of it are highly speculative. However, I consider that to understand the current chaotic times, we need to stretch the boundaries we consider as normal, by entering into the conspiracy scene. We especially need to understand, in what ways and by whom our societies may be steered.
The Bilderberg Group
In early 2000’s I familiarized myself with the Bilderberg group, which held annual secretive meetings with politicians, business leaders and journalists. This was the first time I started to wonder what was truly going on in global politics. How could there be meetings, run by some of the wealthiest people on earth, where our leaders discussed important topics, but on which we the people, could not hear anything? According to my sources, all participants of the Bilderberg meetings are required to sign a secrecy agreement considering everything discussed there.
There’s a tendency of new politicians participating in the meeting to see a rapid ascension in their careers. I saw this up close with my former friend and current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Finland, Elina Valtonen.
I met Elina in an EuroThinkTank group gathered by Professor Vesa Kanniainen in the fall 2013. The idea of the group was to construct a critical assessment on the future of the Eurozone, which was published as a book. When we met, I thought she was great(!), and I wanted to establish a friendship with her. To note, we were both married at the time and there never anything romantic between us. We just became good friends, as I hoped.
Elina and I shared many goals. We were both champions of personal and economic freedoms, and we wanted to save Finland. So, when she took position in the Finnish parliament, I quickly became her trusted economist. I wanted to help her to ‘liberate’ Finland and correct the way of the EU. At that time we also shared the view that Finland would be better off without the euro.
In 2019, without me knowing, Elina took part in the Bilderberg meeting in Turin, Italy. She also met President Emmanuel Macron. After these meetings, a gradual change in her thinking emerged. By early 2020, I had started to feel that our views were growing apart. A breakup in our co-operation came in May 2020, when the plan for the European Recovery Fund was unveiled. This, a debt issuance of the European Union effectively turning it into a federation, was the one thing we had feared in the EuroThinkTank. Suddenly, and taking the complete opposite stand than before, Elina started to defend the proposal of Germany and France. She also gave public statements supporting the federalization of the European Union. I was shell-shocked. She had previously supported a stronger EU with regards to defense (she’s a bit russophobic), but supporting the all-out federalization of the EU was completely against, what I felt she previously thought and what we had agreed in the beginning of our co-operation. So, a ‘break-up’ was inevitable.
My experience with Elina drove me to to consider the role of the Bilderburg group more deeply. The way I see them working is as follows.
They select rising political stars and media persons (journalists, editors, and even influencers) to their meetings to test, whether they will serve their cause. In addition to the NDA (non-disclosure or secrecy agreement), there are no other official agreements made. However, the meetings are for the planting of ideas and screening the candidates (more on this below). If/when candidates express their support to the cause, and make public efforts towards this, he/she will see his/her career shoot up. This is exactly, what happened to Elina’s career after 2019, and I do not think it was a coincidence.
Who are the elites?
A year ago, I participated in a large-scale project seeking funding from various sources. The project got the interest of the Vatican Bank, or the Institution for the Works of Religion, and our project leader was called to meet a Vatican banker. After the formalities had been conducted and it was time for small talk, the Vatican banker asked our project leader: “I have always wondered why Finns considers themselves to be living in a democracy, but they still let these ten people decide on everything”. Our project leader naturally did not have much to comment, nor was it discussed who the ‘group of ten’ were.
The conversation, imho, (I fully trust the account of the project leader) depicts the way our 'democracies' currently operate. In each country, there’s an elite that wants to decide on certain important developments, and then there’s a global elite consisting of the elites of the national elite. While the concept of global elite is probably relatively new, there have been national elites guiding developments all through human history. There’s one exceptionally worrying example on this.
In early 1920’s Weimar Germany, the elites in the army, bureaucracy, judiciary, academia and business wanted to engineer a return to an elite-controlled authoritarian society, because they feared losing their lands and becoming politically marginalized through the democratization of German society.1 This produced tacit support by the German elite for the Nazi party leading to one of the most oppressive and destructive regimes the world has ever seen.
So, who are in the global elite? I will not name any names, at least not yet, but many of the public figures currently part of the ‘elite’ are easy to track. Just compare them to the list of people participating to the Bilderberg meetings (note that these leaked lists are not always complete). We can assume that all the people frequently participating in the meetings are part of the global elite.
It’s important to note that while some of the elite are public figures, at least since Roman times those making the most important decisions have remained in the shadows. I am rather certain that this is the case also now, which implies that we do not actually know the people guiding the fate of our societies.
What do they want?
The elite in the Weimar Republic wanted to ensure their power. That is, their ability to guide the German society, which led them to support the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler, instead of “dangerous” democracy. We can rather safely assume that the global elite wants something of the same. They are likely pursuing for ability to guide the development of the world and humanity to a direction they find suitable. Now, naturally, the question becomes, what is this direction?
On this we can only speculate. It’s obvious that at least part of the elite is trying to “save the world”, according to their standards, that is. This is likely to range from pushing through Green policies (which in often times turn to be more polluting than the original alternative) to population control and even to population reduction. Since at least the 1970’s, and establishing the Club of Rome, ‘over-population’ has been considered as one the greatest threat to the future of humanity in certain academic and political circles.2 This implies that depopulation could be on the agenda of the elite.3
In the December 2021 Special Report, we commented on the possible sinister aims of the GR (or global ‘coup’):
The aims or objectives of such a ‘global coup’ could include:
1) Total control of economies and societies to impose various political agendas.
2) Full media control and a police state to control public opinion and keep dissidents in check.
A crisis would be needed to push through the first objective. This crisis would need to be so massive that it would create a need for a vast majority of citizens to give up their constitutional rights for economic and personal safety. Another option would be to exaggerate the severity of the crisis through targeted and wide-spread media propaganda operations. In any case, the majority of the population would need to be driven to a point where they would be unwilling to object to the directives given by their political leaders. Such directives would need to breach the economic and personal freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. When the constitution, which protects the rights of citizens from the tyrannical impulses of their government has been breached, total power would transfer solely to politicians and their influence groups, like the WEF.
We have already seen all these in action during the past three years.
How do they establish control?
How would I go about establishing global control? I would simply follow, what I consider the Bilderberg group is currently doing.
Firstly, I would establish a supra-national group with meetings to gather the rising political figures and media influencers. In those meetings, I would try to find common ground between my objectives and those of the politicians. I would hire a group of world-leading psychologists to create strategies on how to plant the seeds of my thinking into the heads of politicians, journalists, etc., which would slowly grow and start to influence their actions and decisions.
Next, I would create a screening organization to find the politicians most susceptible to and interested in power. Then I would create groups, under my indirect supervision, to monitor and influence these people on a regular basis. I would also make sure that those, who knew my agenda could not deviate from the plan or leak it to the populace without devastating consequences to his/her credibility and career (or even life).
All the above is 100% actionable with enough resources (money) and connections. I would be utterly surprised (even disappointed) if the Bilderberg group or the WEF had not have established such a system already.
As a last bit, I will discuss, where I see the elite leading us, i.e., what my Apocalypse scenario currently forecasts.
Where are we heading?
A good friend of mine and a former head of global fx-strategies of a major Nordic bank has stated: “We need to change our elites, because they do not have our best interest in mind”. This is a conclusion I now fully concur with.
If the plan of the elite is global ‘enslavement’, as I currently suspect, they need to conduct several shock-treatments to the global populace for them to accept this New World Order, etc., possibly leading us into the rebirth of a (global) feudal state. So, my Apocalypse scenario currently predicts the following:
Global economic collapse fueled by a banking crisis to establish the use of CBDC’s.
Escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war to include most of Europe.
Another and much more deadly (real) pandemic.
(Bonus: Threat of an Alien invasion.)
I am currently assuming that we would see the first three developments to occur between 2024 and 2026/27. In the absolute worst-case, these would lead the world into a WWIII before 2030.
Currently, my biggest worry is that the elite desperately want to escalate the Russo-Ukrainian war, because it creates fear, allows for further silencing of dissidents and because wars are highly profitable. I consider that the escalation may come from either side. President Putin may want to escalate to draw out all the ‘cards’ of NATO and to finish Ukraine off, while NATO (Ukraine) may want to escalate, possibly with a false flag operation, because it’s losing the war, which could rise to threaten the unity of the Alliance. If history is any guide, we will see an escalation during the next 1-2mo (I dearly hope not).
I don’t yet have a concise vision on the endgame, that is, on the societal structure that the elite could be pursuing for. A feudal state, where there would be only rulers and servants (slaves), is a very likely candidate. The planned issuance of CBDC’s and other control methods, gives us hints as to what the control structure might look like. However, I think it’s yet too early to draw definite conclusions. I will, however, speculate on them in later posts.
As an final note, I have to emphasize that I do not consider the Apocalypse -scenario to be most likely of the scenarios I currently ponder for our future. However, as it is the most grave one by far, I have and continue to put in a lot of effort to constructing and updating it. This is also because in all forecasting, one absolutely needs to know the worst scenario imaginable. Only by acknowledging it, you are able to draw out all future paths for our societies and economies, which helps us to prepare for them.

Our World in Data -database have some excellent graphs showing how, e.g., living conditions, pollution and biodiversity have developed during past few decades. The picture the data draws is rather comforting.
There are, for example, studies suggesting that Corona vaccinations led to excess mortality and to myocarditis (from which I had not heard before 2022). If such results are confirmed, they could be accounted as part of the de-population agenda.
Tuomas, I don't know if you follow Martin Armstrong, but he has been saying all this for years now. Your analysis is remarkably similar to his and if you arrived at it independently then I think you are both on to something, deeply sinister.
