What if the goal of war isn't winning it? A thesis circulating in economic circles argues that the conflict with Iran seeks not military victory but an energy catastrophe large enough to justify restarting the system. This analysis, detailed in economics forums, rests on an uncomfortable premise: actors with superior tools—AI, advisors, capital—don’t improvise. If they don’t improvise, disorder is also a plan.
The described sequence is this: soaring oil prices, mobility restrictions, cuts to public services, pensions at risk. Then, riots. Then, martial law. Finally, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) presented as the financial system’s lifeline. A corridor from empty pumps to technocracy in five acts.
Iran’s Role in Energy Warfare
Core issue isn’t religious, cited voices insist. It’s control of the Persian Gulf and strangling China’s energy sources. This geopolitical reading repeats: neutralizing Iran destabilizes Asia’s giant and reorders Africa. The lingering question: what happens when crude buyers run out of patience?
Not everyone buys this script. Some note China already has Russia deals absorbing European fuel via new land infrastructure ensuring flow. If energy siege was masterstroke, board already has answer.
Dollar Gains Ground Amid Reset Debate
While great reset theory simmers, contradicting data emerges: dollar regains hegemonic role. If plan was replacing system, system strengthens itself. Detail doesn’t fit controlled collapse narrative.
Conversation shifts to timeline. Brutal one-day event would cause social tension requiring army intervention to “save us from chaos.” Perfect excuse. But some warn process can’t be instant: if barrel jumps suddenly, anti-system movements emerge, breaking calculation. Recipe must be gradual, subtle, almost homeopathic.
From ELbichito to CBDCs: General Rehearsal Done
Cited precedent is pandemic. Lockdowns, child vaccinations, business closures, unthinkable restrictions accepted. If that worked, resistance to programmable digital currency or digital ID won’t be greater. Masses, they say, have less critical sense, barely distinguish real from simulated.
Argument has reverse. Also noted AI and robotics will leave many jobless; war serves perfect smoke screen: with conflict excuse, tech layoffs enter better due to lack of money and cost over quality priority. Plainly stated.
Unanswered Objection: What If They Lose Control?
Here lies theory’s weak point. If chaos is tool, chaos doesn’t obey. Extreme crisis may spawn outside-system movements, not necessarily friendly. History shows brutal postwar can yield Austrian painter with own ideas. Too many variables for such fine plan.
Counter-reply is elite warned. April 2020, Macron—described as Rothschilds’ star pupil—said beast of events was here. These people always warn. And if they warn, they have manual.
Ultimately, debate splits between those seeing meticulous design and those seeing lucky incompetence. First cite Epstein papers asking if such people hesitate. Second respond with only certainty we have: things known how start, not end. Be careful.
