While I share many opinions with Max, and I agree that depopulation is an eventual goal of the parasites, I feel that he is missing the goal.

The locking down, the monitoring, the control of food, is to turn humanity into lab rats for experimentation. Data will be collected, and as in a lab, movement must be restricted and diet must be standardised. The experiments will undoubtedly kill off the rats, but hey, they've got 8 million of them.

In Orwell's "1984", O'Brien, the inner party member who "befriends" the protagonist Winston (think "Trump") tells Winston that the Party craves power simply for power's sake. I think that Orwell missed the point.

Power is necessary to force the populace to accept their role as lab rats. What is the experiment? The parasites want to become "god". That Hariri guy openly states that now. They literally shake their fists at the Creator and defile the creations to become the "creators" themselves.

BTW, anyone check out this Hariri guy yet? I have a feeling that he may be above Schwab in the rankings of the parasites. He has an interesting origin....
