On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the “efficiency and functionality” of the Bank of Russia’s central bank digital currency (“CBDC”) and instructed his government to prepare for the widespread introduction of the digital ruble.
On Friday, Edward Slavsquat published an article about Russia’s insatiable appetite for “sustainable development.” In it, he described how the environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) agenda has become an “integral part” of Russia’s business environment, that Moscow is actively involved in promoting the ESG agenda and achieving the United Nations (“UN”) Agenda 2030’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”), and that the UN maintains partnerships with sanctioned Russian companies to pursue the SDGs.
He also noted that in May, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development introduced a new standard for reporting on sustainable development that factors in how companies’ “ESG indicators” help to achieve the UN’s SDGs. To add to the sinister nature of the agenda, the new reporting also factors in “social capital.”
“To top it all off,” Slavsquat wrote, “a recent article in Vedomosti explained how Russian businesses were eager to comply with EU ESG regulations. Yes, the same European bloc that is currently pouring weapons into Ukraine.”
This appetite for ESG extends into the BRICS countries. “BRICS isn’t just enthusiastic about ESG – it’s also boosting confidence in carbon credit scams,” Slavsquat said.
That was on Friday. For anyone who still believes Russia is opposing the UN’s plan to take over and control the world, you need to read Slavsquat’s report on Friday. You can read the full article HERE.
Russia is not only going full steam ahead on ESG and Agenda 2030, but the country is also well advanced in implementing totalitarian digital control through the use of a CBDC. Yesterday Slavsquat reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for the full-scale implementation of the digital ruble, Russia’s CBDC.

Putin calls for “full-scale implementation” of digital ruble
Praising the “efficiency and functionality” of the Bank of Russia’s CBDC, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed his government on Wednesday to prepare for the widespread introduction of the digital ruble.
“Now we need to take the next step, namely: move to a broader, full-scale implementation of the digital ruble in the economy, in business activities and in the financial sector,” Putin said during a meeting on economic issues.
Since August 2023, the Bank of Russia has been conducting a pilot program for the digital ruble involving 12 banks, 600 individuals and 22 trade service enterprises. The programme will be expanded in September to include an additional 20 credit institutions. Participants will be able to make payments via QR code during the second phase of testing.
The law on the digital ruble was adopted in July 2023, designating the Bank of Russia’s CBDC as the third form of national currency. The CBDC will be introduced into the economy beginning in 2025.
Below is a sampling of Russian media reports about Putin’s desire to see the mass introduction of the digital ruble (Sources: URA, Business Gazeta, Interfax, Vedomosti).
Despite widespread opposition to the digital ruble from across Russia’s political spectrum, the Bank of Russia and its media cheerleaders claim that the traceable, programmable, centralised digital token will help bypass sanctions and fight corruption through greater financial transparency.
However, Moscow already has an alternative to SWIFT that can be used to circumvent sanctions, and the Bank of Russia already has the ability to monitor all money transfers in the country.

On Russian Telegram channels, reactions to Putin’s call for the “full-scale implementation” of the digital ruble were mostly negative.

The good news is that the Russian government might be too incompetent to fulfil Putin’s dream of a CBDC paradise.
“Considering the fantastic ability of the Russian authorities to fail any projects, scepticism about [the widescale adoption of the digital ruble] does not dissipate,” Russian commentator Anatoly Nesmiyan observed.

The double-talk and resulting confusion in our world is deliberate & planned. The West paints Putin & Russia as warring enemies against us and the Ukraine, while the West uses the Ukraine to launder vast sums of money & build biolabs.
But the truth is they’re all the same, and the rhetoric and war just distraction. The enemies are globalists.
Hard to imagine putin would choose to be in the good graces of the UN.
Well done Rhoda. The Alternative media orthodoxy from Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson is that Putin is a bulwork against globalism and his war in Ukraine is the fault of the West.
But anyone with a heart or a basic understanding of empathy morality or satanic behaviour knows he is demonic. It’s just that he is a better chess player than the West at the Globalist power game.
All the intel services are globalist and Putin is FSB. There is noti8ng between Obama and Putin and there is nothing between the corrupt CIA and the corrupt FSB. Except Putin is a much better salesman and the FSB work really hard at pushing their narrative on social media that the history of Ukraine begin in 2014 and that all Urkainians are Nazis etc.
The FSB and the CIA agreed the war in Ukraine twice under Obama44 and Obama46. Trump actually more or less said that at the RNC convention. The Afghan withdrawal was not a mistake. It is a signal to Putin that the globalists controlled the US military sufficiently that Putin could safely invade Ukaine.
I suspect it was a signal that Putin demanded to see before his did his ASSIGNED JOB of attacking Ukraine in order to bring us closer to WW3 that is necessary to be able to enforce Digital IDs by martial law as as a prerequisite to getting one’s war time rations.
Here is how the conversation effectively went- I imagine….
Obama to Putin: Thanks for taking Crimea. Please now invade Ukraine for us.
Putin to Obama: How do I know that mad dog Mattis or some other gung ho US general won’t wipe me off the face of the earth?
Obama:.I give you my word.
Putin: Is that some kind of a joke?
Obama: I promise that our military will not respond in any meaningful way.
Putin. So it was a joke and not a very good one. Here are my terms. You will leave more than 50 billion dollars worth of your latest gear in Afghanistan IN PAYMENT for me invading Ukraine. That is my price. That will prove to me that the globalists are in control of the US miltiary. And furthermore you will take all your soldiers out and you will leave all your civilians behind, and you will break every tenet of US military policy in the process and nobody in the US military will even get a reprimand. That way I KNOW that the globalists are in control. Oh yes and my mate Xi wants Bagram.
Obama: WOW, those are strong terms.
Putin: I am taking a big risk
Obama: I will have to speak to my people……
We all know the result.
Hi Lords Witnesses, Thank you.
In America, the military is in full control. Albeit influenced by the British Territorial Government.
What’s interesting is that they have approached the Fiduciary of the actual and factual American Government, Anna Von Reitz, whereby they want to know who the living people are. I.E. those who are standing on the Land and Soil jurisdiction and are no longer incorporated dead legal fiction persons.
The slave master can’t kill what he doesn’t own.
How is all that anything but another fiction? Where’s the PROOF of the “Land and Soil jurisdiction” and “Fiduciary” of the “American Government”??? You want us to believe you, then SHOW US THE PROOF. Thank you.
Of course he is. Just like he’s is a member of all there inside clubs.
The world is a stage and rolls by script!

No one is coming to save you. They are all in on it. By the time the dumb public figures this out it’s too late.
There is one who will come to save us. But Moses was sent to Israel only after the Egyptians had totally enslaved them.
Capital O please!
Research and determine the facts about the clot-shot in Russia. I’ve read that a Russian version of the clot shot was mandated. Is it true? Are common Russian folk falling dead suddenly like common American American folk?
If Russia has bought into this depop crime-against-humanity, then everything around the Ukraine is just theater and we are being played for fools.
The Russian sputnik V has the MN908947.3: spike protein DNA and is similar to the Astra Zeneca Vaccine but with a different viral vector for each of the two shots. so it was a souped up Astra Zeneca shot. It will have had the same damaging effects as AZ.
I believe you, based on what I’ve read elsewhere. But, for others to believe you, plz post a link to that info. Thank you.

Of course the former pupil of Klaus Schwab agrees the terms of the 2030 society under a “One-World-Government”, but as before the “Cold War Era” (that was our latest functioning World Order; since 1990 we pass for a period of reset, as there’s no switch to turn on January 1st, 2030, and have another world), there will come a greater war to reduce population, absorb state treasures based on debt and taxes to take wealth back to the bankers, while a financial and economic crisis (Greek for “Change”) eliminates all institutional and corporate debt by eliminating the whole financial system and usurping all peoples savings. And that needs some time, a few years actually. Thanks to the sacrifice of Ukraine and the Ukrainians, Syria and the Syrians, and many other nations of low common interest, part of the process already has passed, relatively unnoticed for many years. The upcoming war now is the possibility for each of the three big players (British hegemony, today mostly seen as US-imperialism; Russian hegemony, saved from the danger to fall under western control by Putin; Chinese hegemony, actually an antique union of elites of various ethnics over most of East-Asia, since at least 3.500 years), within pre-established battle zones (countries that non of two big players, in between whose territories or influence zones they lay, cares for but fears their existing or hypothetical future rivalry, will be the trophy in a last push about the final definition of new borders for the era of the new world order, that will use the One-World-Government as a disguise for the coexistence of three empires in a longer lasting armistice. The rise of China made that “necessary”, as out of two classic enemies out of the black-and-white-movies, this undeniable circumstance led to the need of a new world order. And it won’t be unipolar nor multipolar. The three top dogs will just kill many people, even their own, until all before accorded “areas in dispute” care the labels of one of the three. No one will try to eliminate the new third big guy, as they did in a great effort from 1914 to 1945 with Germany, and with Japan too. But everyone knows that China is too big to dissolve and degrade it to make another imperial province or colony. So they just play a great show for us, first so we don’t notice the preparations, then to make sure we don’t oppose the outbreak of the hot phase of armed conflicts, and finally to make us accept the slaughterhouse. And meanwhile, everything goes strictly after the plan and under the secret agreement, but this time of not only two main players, but three (France, last time, was already only a third wheel on a bicycle, but not a third player, and the formerly powerful Spain knew why to stay out and put the broken nation under complete isolation by the dictatorship of Francisco Franco). Of course, in Ukraine the other two players tested Russia, that, with only around 145 million people in the biggest territory of all nations. If Russia would have stumbled there, the world war would lead to another bipolar “cold war” world (basic) order. But Putin surprised and gained a spot in the finals. So, of course, he has to play after the rules. No doping and fair play!
