I don't think it's money as much as power and control. But yes, I also see it as population control, specifically for those who have outlived their "usefulness" according to the ones that run the show. The "Useless Eaters". From everything my husband has researched over many years, it isn't a stretch to say they needed to devise a plan to rid the earth of the obligates without committing outright murder. And there's some evidence that they may have turned to AI to help them solve this problem.

If they put the AI to a task such as- With our giant leaps in technology and the digital world, there will come a time in the nearish future where we will only need X amount of humans (Sounds like the Georgia GuideStones, I know) and surplus humans will only cause more damage to the earth etc., What can we do to reduce the population (within whatever set of parameters they gave it as a metric) A cold "minded" intelligence would certainly look to removing the elderly and infirmed first.

When thinking along those lines, the plot for the John Cusack series Utopia suddenly doesn't sound so fantastical either. If you haven't seen it, basically it followed covid- first virus then vaccine- which led you to believe was meant to kill people then ultimately you find out it was designed to sterilize people without them knowing.

That show was released in the summer of 2020 which was so odd to me. Also odd that no one seemed to make a correlation between it and what was going on. Also the handmaid's tale had the season of masks just before covid. Predictive programming?

Couple these things with a Bill Gates Ted Talk I watched years ago that touched on vaccines and population control (which never really made sense to me if you think of vaccines as something that prevents sickness and death) it's a pretty bleak picture that definitely has my eye on birth rates in the next few years. So far though, I haven't personally seen anything to support it in my actual life. So it could just be conspiracy theory based on a set of coincidences and nothing more. Or ideas intentionally put out there to create more confusion in the public.

I don't know. One of the most frustrating things is having the capacity to understand and think things through, but to never have all of the information to base the conceptualizing on. Or even most of it, as I've also come to believe that we are being fed lies and half truths about everything including history.
