\nSPECIAL FEATURE<\/p>\n
It\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve again, and with that our time-honoured tradition of looking back at the most\u00a0conspiratorial<\/em>\u00a0events of the past year.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It goes without saying that 2022 has seemed like an extended nightmare for many, but it has also served as a reoccurring revelation too. Still, many are glad to see the back of it, while cautiously optimistic that this next year \u2018couldn\u2019t get any worse.\u2019 That remains to be seen, and more insights on that front are available in our other annual opus,\u00a0Trends and Predictions for 2023<\/em>.<\/p>\n Another important truism: the tin foil hat conspiracy theorists continue to be vindicated as significant events unfold. So much so, that we can now lay the common trope,\u00a0\u201cOh, it\u2019s just a coincidence\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 safely to rest. Henceforth, those who still insist on referring to bona fide conspiracies as mere coincidences, shall be dubbed as\u00a0coincidence theorists<\/em>.<\/p>\n Before we get to the top ten list, here are some of the honourable mentions from the past year\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Here are some of this past year\u2019s standout stories which didn\u2019t make the top tier. We should first mention that the ongoing fallout from the\u00a0experimental mRNA \u2018vaccine\u2019 roll-out<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0vaccine passport\/digital ID<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0could easily be at the top of any list of conspiracies and scandals, and will unfortunately remain as a looming threat to the lives of billions of people for many years, if not decades to come. 2022 was also a banner year for\u00a0climate change hysteria<\/strong><\/a>, with Greta going full bore with the\u00a0\u2018we must destroy the economy to save planet\u2019<\/em>\u00a0mantra, and the mainstream media relentlessly portraying any and all hot weather or forest fire (or even snow storms) to be the result of man-made CO2 heating up the atmosphere like a Bunsen burner. That said, some other controversial events of note from this past year include the incredible\u00a0Canadian Truckers Protest<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0against a vaccine-obsessed Trudeau regime and its unprecedented draconian attack on Canadian citizens demanding a restoration of their basic human rights. We also saw the mysterious demolition of the infamous\u00a0Georgia Guide Stones<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0monument to Malthusian eugenics, the precarious trial of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s partner in crime\u00a0Ghislane Maxwell<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0which somehow netted no VIP client names (and amazingly, she\u2019s still alive in one piece), and also the bizarre political tale of\u00a0Nancy Pelosi\u2019s husband Pauli P.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0supposedly getting mauled with a hammer by a known local personality in their San Francisco mansion \u2013 a story promptly buried my the MSM right before the election. On the tech front, we should point to the ominous unleashing by Google\u2019s OpenAI of their new\u00a0ChatGPT<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0artificial intelligence bot. It was a moderate year for false flags and mass shootings, with a few heavily politicized high-profile anomalous events like the\u00a0Uvalde School Shooting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Texas and the\u00a0Club Q Shooting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Colorado Springs. In Europe, the\u00a0Dutch Farmers Revolt<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0exposing a pernicious\u00a0anti-farming and GMO food agenda<\/a>\u00a0by the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates networks, along with meat shortages and continued supply chain disruptions \u2013 all converging to form the perfect financial storm which now threatens to ravage an already weak and unstable global economy. Later in the year came a real blast from the past, reports of an imminent document release which contains some evidence of the CIA\u2019s role in the\u00a0JFK Assassination<\/strong><\/a>. Granted, these are just a few in a long list of major events which didn\u2019t make our final cut.<\/p>\n So without further ado, here are the top ten conspiracies of 2022\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2022-Conspiracies.png\")

\n10. US Midterm Election Fraud<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Considering all that is going on in the US and internationally at this time, most Americans would agree that the 2022 Midterm Election was one of the most important and consequential elections of their lifetime. Both the House of Representatives and US Senate were up for grabs, and there was a real opportunity to correct a serious imbalance of power in Washington. However, before Nov. 8th there was a real air of trepidation, as the shadow of the controversial 2020 Election still loomed large, with accusations of widespread and systemic election fraud still unresolved. The sum of all fears became real again in the key swing state of Arizona: on election morning most of the voting machines in the state\u2019s largest population center, Maricopa County, just happened to malfunction. Officials claimed it was just an unfortunate coincidence. That was only the beginning, as boxes with thousands of ballots continued to mysteriously turn up after election day. In short, the\u00a0Arizona election became a national and international embarrassment<\/a>. As it goes, the state\u2019s election and processes were being controlled by Democratic Party operatives \u2013 who then slow-walked the vote counting for two weeks\u00a0after<\/em>\u00a0the election was meant to be over. Not surprisingly, the favorite in the governor\u2019s race, Republican,\u00a0Kari Lake<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(image, above) barely lost to an unremarkable Democrat candidate Katie Hobbs (if you believe the final contested result), and to add insult to injury, the person in charge of the state\u2019s election debacle\u2026 was Katie Hobbs, who happened to also be serving as Arizona\u2019s Secretary of State. Kari Lake sued the state to demand a recount and a run-off, but political and media pressure on the courts prompted the judge to dismiss her challenge \u2013 despite having truckloads of evidence proving foul play. Lake has\u00a0appealed the decision<\/a>. What\u2019s important is that this time the world saw what happened, and the state and Democratic Party machine was widely exposed \u2013 effectively vindicating millions of Americans who still hold well-founded suspicions about the infamous 2020 Election which managed to install the corrupt, deep state candidate Joe Biden into power. Similar anomalies were observed in 2022 \u2013 in states like Nevada and Pennsylvania. In the end, the Republicans still managed to flip the House of Representatives by a slim margin, while losing the US Senate by an even slimmer margin. In a country where half the population still do not trust the democratic process, civility and stability are now teetering on borrowed time.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monkeypox-Vaccine.png\")
\n9. Monkeypox<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 As the Covid gravy train began to break down, the globalists\u2019 Government-Media-Pharma Complex grew desperate for a new \u2018pandemic\u2019 to maintain the structures of control and human surveillance which they erected during the contrived Covid-19 \u2018state of emergency\u2019. Enter\u00a0a relatively unknown and exotically-titled alleged pathogen<\/a>,\u00a0Monkeypox<\/em>. Attempts were made to portray this mythical epidemic as some sort of universal threat, and when that failed, the Establishment then pivoted to try and promote it as a new \u201cgay disease\u201d in an attempt to emulate a familiar template used to reproduce the perennial (and highly questionable) HIV crisis. In the end, their fear campaign never really took off, but not before a brand-new vaccine was created to \u201cprotect the public from another potentially deadly epidemic.\u201d And after all that failed, efforts were then made to use it in order to harvest some political capital \u2013 by sacrificing this brand at the altar of political correctness, as social justice clerics demanded the mythical virus be rebranded due to fears that name \u201cMonkeypox\u201d\u00a0was somehow\u00a0racist<\/em><\/a>\u2026? But how? Against primates? No one was quite sure what they meant. Oh well. Introducing \u201cMPOX\u201d. Rinse, and repeat. Welcome to the world of Modern Virology (aka Big Pharma\u2019s main meal ticket). Meanwhile, we\u2019re all waiting with bated breath for Bill Gates\u2019 self-confessed \u201cnext pandemic<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/China-lockdown.png\")
\n8. China Lockdown Redux<\/strong>\u00a0Just when the Chinese were beginning to get a taste of freedom again, the Central Party decide to fire-up the pandemic control grid again. In February 2022, an alleged COVID-19 \u2018outbreak\u2019 was announced in the city of Shanghai. Central Party claimed that the alleged \u2018outbreak\u2019 was caused by the Omicron variant. The state then proceeded to decree a new \u201cZero Covid\u201d policy, before locking-down more cities, and dragging the country back into the authoritarian hell of February 2020. As it turned out, the real reason this new \u2018Covid wave\u2019 materialized was because of nondiagnostic PCR testing \u2018case\u2019 data generated through more meaningless mass COVID-19 testing. Finally, after 8 months of Covid madness, foreign investment began drying up, and China\u2019s already fragile economy was destabilizing. The state\u2019s overzealousness then triggered mass protests against Orwellian government restrictions, with\u00a0millions of Chinese taking to the streets across the country to demand their basic freedom<\/a>. This prompted Central Party to quickly abandon its failing social control program, and not surprisingly their economy began to rebound as people and business got back to work. Rather interestingly, the US government seemed unhappy that China was taking its foot off the authoritarian pedal, and so Biden then levied an administrative punishment against China by slapping a new mandatory Covid test travel restriction on any Chinese travelers arriving in the USA. It really seems that as the world\u2019s most populous nation, without China\u2019s total compliance the globalists\u2019\u00a0New Normal<\/em>\u00a0agenda will quickly fall apart. This incident should tell us all we need to know about the so-called \u2018global pandemic.\u2019<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lia-Thomas-transgender.jpg\"){kind=spacer}
\n7. The Trans Agenda<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 On March 17, 2022, Lia Thomas (formerly named William Thomas), 22, became the first openly transgender athlete to win America\u2019s top college sports title \u2013 following a cringe worthy\u00a0 victory in the women\u2019s 500 yard freestyle. Let us explain: because Thomas believes he is now a\u00a0woman<\/em>, some institutions like the NCAA \u2013 who have come under political pressure from the radical leftist wing of the political machine \u2013 now feel obligated to allow a biological male like Thomas\u00a0to compete against physically inferior biological females<\/a>\u00a0(aka\u00a0real<\/em>\u00a0women). The victory was short-lived though, as the\u00a0woke<\/em>\u00a0bombast of the Thomas debacle quickly became a lightning rod in the debate about so-called \u201ctrans women\u201d in sports \u2013 triggering a massive backlash against this extreme ideological invasion of womens\u2019 competitive sports. Not long after, international sporting organizations ruled that biological male athletes like Thomas can no longer compete in top races. FINA, the world swimming\u2019s governing body, also announced plans to create a new \u201copen\u201d category of competition to include \u201ctransgender women\u201d (aka men who believe they are female). Now that the debate has been blown wide open, expect further course corrections as people gradually return to their senses on the issue. But do not expect radical leftists to surrender just yet, as the culture wars will continue to rage on.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sam-Bankman-Fried-FTX.png\")
\n6. FTX and SBF Ponzi Scheme<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Like the S&L scandal of the 1980\u2019s, and the Eron and Bernie Madoff financial scams \u2013 this latest iteration of the classic\u00a0Ponzi Scheme<\/em>\u00a0managed to\u00a0destabilize markets and rob countless investors of their life savings<\/a>. Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), a 30-year-old crypto celebrity icon and celebrated savant, founded what he claimed were two\u00a0separate<\/em>\u00a0companies: a hedge fund called Alameda Research and FTX cryptocurrency exchange, before going the whole hog by hyping his own fiat crypto token and then used it as collateral to create hundreds of millions of loans for himself, before robbing his depositors to embezzle and gamble away untold fortunes on the markets. And that\u2019s just the beginning. It turns out that SBF was the number two political donor to the Democratic Party, and used his laundered proceeds to bankroll a sizeable portion of the Democrats\u2019 2020 Midterm Election campaigns, not to mention his mother just happening to be a chief organizer for the Democratic Party as well. Not surprisingly, the Biden Administration waited until after the Midterm Election to begin an investigation into the floppy haired SBF and his FTX ponzi empire. SBF was eventually arrested in the Bahamas and awaits federal trial in the Southern District of New York. The trial is sure to be both shocking and entertaining in equal measure. But the real question remains: how will this drama effect the government\u2019s role in the world of cryptocurrency? More crucially: is the FTX takedown really a controlled demolition of crypto designed to pave the way for an oppressive Central Bank Digital Currency global \u2018cashless\u2019 takeover?\u00a0We shall see\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Federal-CBDC.png\")
\n5. CBDC<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 2022 was the year the CBDC has made landfall, and is currently waiting in the wings of the halls of power. For the last few years, elites have been gathering at globalist confabs like Bilderberg and the World Economic Forum in Davos to wax lyrical about the need to abolish the \u2018old money\u2019, or \u2018dirty cash\u2019 \u2013 and to make way for the central bankers\u2019 new\u00a0Central Bank Digital Currencies<\/a>\u00a0(CBDC) \u2013 turning the planet into a full-blown\u00a0cashless society<\/em>. In the US, this technocratic overhaul is being hatched under the guise of \u201cProject Hamilton\u201d as a joint effort between the Boston Federal Reserve Bank and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to design and plan the release of a \u201cdigital dollar\u201d \u2013 which will destroy the value of old dollar in order to force people onto the new monetary matrix. As cash disappears from the economy, so does privacy.\u00a0 Essentially, CBDCs are meant to be an electronic form of\u00a0fiat<\/em>\u00a0money in a particular country or region, but unlike Bitcoin, this digital coin is centralized and regulated by the governments and their central banks. Without ever putting this matter to a public vote, elites and technocrats have simply been moving ahead to implement this authoritarian monetary system. While the mainstream media and globalist think tanks claim that the CBDC is designed to reign in crypto currencies, and supposedly tackle crimes like money laundering, and tax avoidance (something which elites partake in daily), the reality of the CBDC is something altogether different. They plan to issue a\u00a0programmable<\/em>\u00a0currency whereby the bank can control\u00a0where and what<\/em>\u00a0you are allowed to spend your CBDC\u2019s on. They can also shut your money off. Imagine this digital money system combined with a Chinese-style social credit score, or a vaccine passport\/digital ID. This dystopian digital control grid will transform commerce and human society in ways we can possibly imagine. For these reasons, many rightly believe that this is the road to digital slavery. The window of opportunity to push back against this massive authoritarian assault is now closing.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Twitter-Spooks.jpg\")
\n4. The Twitter Files<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is the biggest tech scandal in modern history \u2013 and it\u2019s gone mostly unreported by 90% of the mainstream media because of the partisan nature of its revelations.\u00a0The Twitter Files<\/a><\/em>\u00a0have provided an unprecedented look behind the dirty inner workings of the firm\u2019s opaque censorship regime, and exposes an openly fascist merger of Silicon Valley\u2019s \u2018Big Tech\u2019 companies and the bloated National Security State. In early December, under new management of owner and CEO Elon Musk, Twitter HQ began disseminating a massive trove of internal documents revealing the direct collusion between former CEO Jack Dorsey\u2019s corporate regime and the US Federal Government \u2013 to censor and cancel users from the platform for speech or political views which went against globalist or government policies. This included copious evidence of election interference. It seems that in their desperation to conjure up proof of alleged \u201cforeign influence\u201d on Twitter, FBI and other federal government officials doubled-down to try and save their sinking Russiagate narrative, and creating a monster in the process. New revelations also exposed\u00a0the FBI\u2019s role in leaning on Twitter to expedite illegal censorship operations<\/a>, and how so-called \u2018public health\u2019 officials strong-armed Twitter into sanitizing all speech relating to COVID-19 and the experimental mRNA \u2018vaccine\u2019 injections. The FBI were also drawing-up shadowbanning and censorship blacklists in an attempt to cleanse the platform of effective opposition to the Biden campaign in 2020 and later into his first term. Even worse:\u00a0the FBI paid off Twitter to the tune of millions in taxpayer dollars<\/a>\u00a0as \u201ccompensation\u201d for complying with the governments\u2019 censorship and spying directives. Under Dorsey, the platform became an open cesspool for spooks and government operatives \u2013 many of whom appeared to be allowed to spy on users\u2019 DMs, and to dictate terms of censorship on the platform. Watch this space. This is only the beginning.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Nordstream-2-pipeline-sabotage-1024x576.jpeg\")
\n3. Sabotage of the Nordstream Pipelines<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Back in late September, the world woke up to truly horrific news \u2013 both the Nordstream 1 and 2 pipelines were reported to be leaking gas into the Baltic Sea and into the atmosphere \u2013 after what looked like\u00a0a deliberate act of sabotage<\/a>. While the media played dumb, pretending not to know who carried out this attack, sane onlookers were well aware of the only entity who had the motives, means and opportunity to carry out this state-sponsored act of terror \u2013 namely the United States and its NATO partners. Incredibly, the entire western media quickly began blaming\u00a0Russia<\/em>\u00a0for blowing up its most important energy infrastructure project. The result of this attack was a further devastation of Europe\u2019s energy supplies and hyperinflationary EU and UK consumer prices for the fall and winter \u2013 not to mention the millions of cubic meters of methane which were released into the Earth\u2019s atmosphere. Despite all the vacant US denials, the facts are clear as day: Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland were both on record beforehand promising they would \u201cend the Nordstream pipeline.\u201d Of course, this is a hugely dangerous red line which the US and its allies have crosses: by declaring a\u00a0no-holds-barred<\/em>\u00a0geopolitical energy war, the gates are now open for further escalations \u2013 which may lead to WWIII. History has shown this can happen. Consider the Anglo-American energy embargo and strong-arming of Japan which led up to the Attack on Pearl Harbor which opened the door for the US to enter WWII. Think of the Nordstream attack as just that, but worse \u2013 as it was also direct attack on the day-to-day energy and finances of people living in the EU and the collective West. Indeed, the West is playing an extremely dangerous game, which is really the\u00a0Great Game 2.0.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/EU-Energy-gas-winter.png\")
\n2. The Energy Shock\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 In the future, we will look back at 2022 as one of the most consequential years of young 21st century history. If you live in the collective West or the EU, you know that the energy crisis is now a reality. The real question is: is all of this by simply by happenstance, or is it being done by design? And can it be\u00a0traced back to a much older global agenda<\/a>, and forward through to the WEF\u2019s Great Reset? The answer to all those questions is course,\u00a0yes<\/em>. But this is only the surface of this issue. For Brussels and Berlin, this \u2018green\u2019 road to energy scarcity pure economic suicide. Rather than change this policy course and work to stabilise global energy and agricultural markets \u2013 the gallant virtue-signalling West has opted instead to double-down on their precarious stance by further tightening anti-Russian sanctions, as well as pursue even deeper commitments towards de-nulearisation and the not-so-green \u2018Net Zero\u2019 carbon reduction agenda. The cancelation of Russia, coupled with the disastrous \u2018green\u2019 energy policies are only accelerating inflationary cycles globally. All of this is a recipe for disaster \u2013 all due to policies directly created by western governments. By blocking inbound energy supplies from the Nordstream and other Russian pipelines which supplied them with affordable and reliable gas and oil into the EU,\u00a0Europe has painted itself into a very perilous corner<\/a>. Behind the energy wars and even beyond Klaus Schwab\u2019s globalist facade \u2013 you will find hardcore geopolitics at play. The main Anglo-American objective: the deindustrialization of Germany and EU, the separation of Russian resources and political leadership from western markets. We live in truly perilous times.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/21stcenturywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Ukraine-War-News.png\")
\n1. The Ukraine War\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 In late February 2022, the unthinkable happened: Russia launched its military intervention into neighboring Ukraine. War is hell, and while Russia seems intent on seeing its \u201cSpecial Military Operation\u201d through, the US and its allies are going to have to decide just how long they plan to\u00a0fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian<\/em>. How many dead Ukrainian soldiers and lost territory will it take for the West to instruct Ukraine\u2019s President Zelensky to finally sue for peace? Welcome to NATO\u2019s ultimate proxy war of attrition in Ukraine, driven by the greatest western media propaganda campaign of all-time. Suffice to say that Russia, Ukraine, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance are now at war \u2013 with each party firmly in the belief that they are fighting an existential war, not over any particular political or territorial dispute, but for the future existence of their countries, or in the case of NATO, over their ability to maintain regional hegemony for the Atlanticist power bloc. Will this near frozen conflict escalate to a WWIII situation, or a thermo-nuclear exchange between the great powers? The US and British invasion of Iraq nearly two decades ago is a particularly pertinent and telling counterpoint to events in Ukraine. Then, as now, the \u2018free and democratic Western World\u2019 was supposedly faced with a dangerous, unhinged despot in Saddam Hussein, who, like Putin is said to be unwilling to compromise. It\u2019s a well-worn script for the West, and will likely remain the justification of another endless war. Of course, Zelensky could end it all tomorrow if he declared his intentions to disavow any NATO aspirations, demilitarize the country, and declare Ukraine a neutral state. Such a declaration would certainly be welcome by Russia today, but the West are determined to keep this proxy war going, and cancel Russia from the global economic system. Besides, business is just too good for Ukraine who have managed scrape more than $100 billion from the US and EU treasuries so far, not to mention the billions in profits for shareholders in the US defense industry. Oh, and on the backend of this war, the\u00a0WEF and BlackRock are eyeing Ukraine\u2019s remaining assets<\/a>, as private oligarchs hatch their plan to carve up and reshape the post-war landscape there. The future world order is at stake.<\/p>\n
