Whitney Webb: They’re taking US Empire out of it and they’re having it basically be a direct weapon of the bankers. So instead of the bankers buying up US politicians and influencing US Empire and getting what they want that way, they’re “re-imagining” it, to basically create this new economic system that we’ve seen bits of, over the past few years, the idea of programmable, surveillable money and also this idea of a “voluntary” Carbon Market, the goal of which is to have it be voluntary and name only – not unlike digital ID and all of that stuff.
The IMF, the World Bank are intimately tied with US Empire. The US Military even admitted, in documents that were published by WikiLeaks, that they’re financial weapons of the US Military, the IMF and the World Bank.
