I recently gave some advice and thoughts about what each of us can be doing in these "quarantine" times, the opportunities presented for us to take if we dare. Its no different for the elites although theirs is not about personal growth, but the profane growth of their power and control over others. They see the opportunities within every event and the Coronavirus is no exception. Among those are more surveillance of the masses, the push towards 5G and Cryptocurrencies, and various other schemes for this Globalist Technocratic elite within the classic Problem-Reaction-Solution model.
The Israeli spyware firm NSO Group Ltd has recently announced that it has developed an app which analyzes a large number of data to track people, ostensibly to track and thereby contain the spread of the Coronavirus. The technology matches the "infected" person's tracking information and matches it with location data collected by mobile phone companies pinpointing everyone within the person's vicinity for more than 15 minutes, according to what a relevant source told Bloomberg News. As can be expected from a company with a long record of enabling certain governments to track and even kill dissenters through its Pegasus software, Covid-19 "tracking" is merely the cover excuse.
"The coronavirus crisis may highlight the overlap between the surveillance state and the cryptocurrency industry," writes Leigh Cuen for Coindesk. As founder of Genesis Partners and chairman of F2 Capital, NSO Group investor Eddy Shalev is also on the board of the bitcoin mining company Spondoolies Tech, as touted on his LinkedIn profile, which also details his various investments with Israeli high-tech companies. One of Spondoolies' investors is BRM Group, which also provided the initial investment for security software firm Check Point, founded in 1993 by Israeli Military Intelligence's elite Unit 8200 alumnis Gil Shwed and Shlomo Kramer.
Little surprise there are Unit 8200 fingerprints all over these links. The NSO Group itself was founded by Unit 8200 members Niv Carmi, Omri Lavie, and Shalev Hulio in 2010. Coindesk reveals that Lavie and Hulio have invested in the bitcoin startup Simplex. One of Simplex's executives, Tal Yahalom (not to be confused with the jazz guitarist of the same name), was a Unit 8200 business intelligence developer. Expressing his misgivings about the U.S. Dollar, Jacob Rothschild referred to "interesting opportunities in other currencies as well as gold" in the 2016 semi-annual RIT Capital Partners report.
A move towards a global e-currency?
The decentralized nature of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies would seem to preclude control by the banking elites, but growth of the Technocracy has structurally enabled exactly this. One has to question why Soros, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs have all "cashed in" on the Cryptocurrency trend. On the cover of its January 9, 1988 issue, The Economist - whose primary shareholders are the Rothschild and Agnelli banking dynasties - portrayed a crowned Phoenix rising over burning world paper currencies, hanging from his neck a coin inscribed with "2018".
Was this predictive programming of the 2018 "Cryptocurrency Crash", when plunging Bitcoin prices were seized upon by speculators like Soros, who suddenly expressed a rush to trade in the same currency they had previously dismissed? Its my contention this was a "hack" whereby the Globalist banking/technocratic elite co-opted the crypto bandwagon. There was increased speculation in the months leading up to this current crisis, with many politicians and other power figures making suspicious moves on the stock market and several corporate executives quickly launching what appeared to be contingency plans.
Israel entered into a "crypto partnership" with Switzerland involving blockchain technologies. Blockchains were invented to be the public transaction ledger of cryptocurrencies. One of the leading Israeli blockchain firm is Orbs, whose "Team" includes at least five alumni of Unit 8200. Another firm is Endor Protocol, which offers AI-powered predictions and includes blockchain data. At least three of its executives are alumni of Unit 8200. The Bank of Israel has considered incorporating blockchain into its operations. A government-issued cryptocurrency would obviously belie its "solution" to the problems of fiat paper money.
Along with the Israeli Finance Ministry, the Bank of Israel has flouted the idea of a "digital shekel" state-sponsored crypto. Representatives from both discussed blockchain with the hawkish Zionist US Deputy Treasury Secretary Sigal Mandelker in October 2018. Trump's powerful son-in-law and Chabad member Jared Kushner - who has passed Top Secret intelligence intercepts to Israeli intelligence much to the chagrin of the NSA - organized a Bahrain summit where Orbs co-founder Netta Korin (a World Economic Forum member) sold the White House on the idea of "social impact" blockchain. Former US National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has links to the NSO Group. Netanyahu's niece and nephew, Guy and Galia Ben-Artzi, are co-founders of the blockchain start-up Bancor, which boasts of its Unit 8200 links.
Under the title "Israel and the Unexpected New World Order", Brian Schrauger, a West Bank-based Christian Zionist writer, made a stunning forecast: "A global currency collapse might be seen as a way to wipe the slate clean of nation-based currencies, especially the US dollar, and establish an international one, like Bitcoin, perhaps. If Bitcoin is the model for a new Internet-based global currency, Israel is likely to be its guardian too, protecting that currency from hackers around the world. As chief of security for the world's information and currency, and with energy independence, Israel stands to gain substantial wealth." This adds a global cryptocurrency to the schemes of China's Belt and Road Initiative in alliance with Israel. What do we make of this in light of the current event that originated in China?
Coronavirus, Unit 8200, and the Belt and Road Initiative
An article from February, when the virus was still largely contained to China and had not yet seen worldwide expansion, raised questions about China's own cryptocurrency moves in relation to its Belt and Road Initiative, including its "debt-trap diplomacy" to corral poorer countries within its orbit. My own contention about Coronavirus vis a vis the Chinese Communist regime is that the crisis got out of their control but to admit their inabilities would create ripple effects within China itself, destroy the image of a regime with complete control over the Chinese people so that a protest that started in Hong Kong could easily spread across the country.
Economies will be crashed and rebuilt, as the managerial elites "never let a crisis go to waste", to borrow Rahm Emanuel's famous catchphrase. A global economy founded upon speculation and management is revealing its internal flaws that were there all the while, but perhaps this is by design so they can move some things around, make certain crucial tweaks to give a new face to the old structure. One of these tweaks is the "outsourcing" of Globalist power centers around the world. "A 'unipolar' and a 'multipolar' world are still parallel poles to the same Globalist dialectic," as I wrote in January. "As surely as the trade networks of the ancient and medieval worlds, so too are the modern high-tech trade networks a Globalist interplay of political with mercantile elites."
One of the defining features of this modified Global Order is what Netanyahu referred to as "marrying Israeli technology with China's capacity". The links are innumerable but if we just follow up only some links directly related to the current Coronavirus, we reveal a strange complex network involving various Israeli private security and hi-tech firms founded and staffed by Unit 8200 alumni, American Neocons, Neoliberals and Trump officials, Russian-Jewish oligarchs closely tied to Putin, Chinese Communist officials, Globalist think-tanks and Communitarian technocrats, Gulf Arab oil sheikhs, and the Chabad movement. Among the main companies to watch are NSO Group, Black Cube, Frontier Services Group, Carbyne911, Renova Group, and Lev Leviev's Africa-Israel Investments.
Those of us aware of historical and natural cycles know there are epidemic cycles repeating every 100 years or so, but certain companies are exploiting the Coronavirus to slip in various AI-based algorithms to "predict" epidemics for what we can surmise are "management" purposes. Predictive analyst Kira Radinsky worked at a Microsoft Research medical data-mining operation and is currently chairwoman and Chief Technology Officer at Diagnostic Robotics, which develops Artificial Intelligence in the context of medical data and has partnered with the transhumanist Singularity Education Group. Aside from teaching at the Unit 8200-ridden Technion Institute, after her own stint in Unit 8200 she was selected for Unit 81, an even-more classified offshoot of Unit 8200. Interestingly in light of others capitalizing upon this event, Unit 81 broke its cover in a P.R. campaign about its role "fighting" the Coronavirus.
Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, a hardline Zionist who has a record in hi-tech firms, recently announced he wanted to use NSO Group to "fight the coronavirus". As Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Bennett promoted a system for identifying "anti-Semitism" on the Internet "developed by a company managed and staffed with former members of military technology units and veterans of the IDF Military Intelligence's Unit 8200." The system was "based on artificial intelligence that is capable of analyzing texts and provides significant information on the posts and users who upload them, all according to the definition of anti-Semitism determined by the government." This slippery definition is expanded to include opposition to Zionism, including certain activities of the Israeli government which subvert the sovereignty of other countries. We have seen that previous tragedies were similarly used to push a broad-sweeping agenda of surveillance and censorship.
Carbyne911 is another crucial firm exploiting Covid-19 for an agenda we can clearly surmise through its past activities and its various investors and executives. Although also known simply as Carbyne, one has to wonder if the "911" addition serves a dual psychological imagery of "crisis management" on both a micro (911) and a more visceral macro (9/11) level. Carbyne's co-founder and shareholder Lital Leshem was an Israeli Military Intelligence Captain, who previously served as Marketing Director of Black Cube, an Israeli private intelligence firm whose own website describes itself as "A select group of veterans from the Israeli elite intelligence units that specialises in tailored solutions to complex business and litigation challenges." Among those "challenges" were discrediting rape accusers of disgraced Hollywood movie executive (and Zionist) Harvey Weinstein, efforts against the Iran nuclear deal, and harassing lawyers involved in lawsuits against the NSO Group.
Ostensibly providing technology services to emergency centers, Carbyne exists in "a grey area giving it unprecedented access to private information". Chief Technology Officer Alex Dizengof previously handled cybersecurity in the Israeli Prime Minister's office. Carbyne CEO Amir Elichai served in a special elite and intelligence corps. According to an investigative report in Narativ, another Carbyne board member is Pinchas Buchris, former Director of Unit 8200. Two partners of his venture capital firm State of Mind Venture, Nir Adler and Yuval Baharav, were past executives at Amdocs, an Israeli billing data and credit checks firm investigated in the lead-up to 9/11 for espionage against the U.S.. Buchris serves as "mentor" to various Israeli cybersecurity start-ups founded by his former underlings, including being on the advisory board of Cybereason, founded by three Unit 8200 officers - Lior Div, Yossi Naar and Yonatan Striem-Amit. Techcrunch noted in its interview with Lior Div that "Cybereason’s work is the continuation of the six years of training and service he spent working with the Israeli army’s 8200 Unit."
Carbyne's investors include a cabal of creeps and scoundrels. Jeffrey Epstein invested $1.5 million of his pedo-money into a project that grew into Carbyne in 2015. His partner in the venture was former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, who has often appeared as Carbyne's front-man in media appearances. Two other crucial investors were billionaire Viktor Vekselberg and his cousin Andrew Intrater, who bought 24% of Carbyne's shares through the latter's Columbus Nova Technology Partners in 2017. As owner and president of the Renova Group, Vekselberg has close ties with Putin. In 2012, he donated $4.5 million towards the construction of the Chabad-directed Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow that was also partly-funded by Putin. As a member of its board of trustees, Vekselberg helped arrange for Lubavitcher Rebbe texts to be moved to the Museum. He also invested in Fifth Dimension, an Israeli company staffed by Mossad spooks such as its president, ex-Mossad deputy director Ram Ben-Barak, and CEO Doron Cohen. Intrater donated $250,000 to Trump's inauguration fund in 2017. Vekselberg and Intrater together sent $500,000 to Trump's lawyer through Columbus Nova, the American wing of Renova Group.
The Carbyne advisory board includes Michael Chertoff, the infamous head of Homeland Security under George Bush who co-authored that massive surveillance state power-grab called The Patriot Act. The treacherous dual American-Israeli citizen is notorious for ensuring the "five dancing Israelis" and other Mossad spies were not questioned after 9/11. He also blocked the criminal investigation of 9/11, ensuring that survivors' families could not seek any civil action in the courts. He appointed the Israeli Amit Yoran director of the Homeland Security's cybersecurity division, which we can now see as one of the early move outsourcing American cybersecurity to these Israeli networks. Chertoff has met with Chabad rabbis and participated in American Friends of Lubavitch dinners. An emergency dispatcher app was developed by Reporty, a direct offshoot of Carbyne whose board of directors include Barak, Chertoff, and Buchris.
These companies were already developing the software that will now be seized upon for the current crisis, but lurking underneath is a mass surveillance agenda. Another Carbyne investor is billionaire Peter Thiel, the Bilderberg Steering Committee member who has invested heavily in surveillance applications. His data analysis company Palantir Technologies use "war on terror tools to track American citizens". Thiel epitomizes the Globalist Technocrat, promoting Singularity projects and financing AI research. His obsession about cheating death calls to mind the similar transhumanist/technocratic vision (predictive programming) made by Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to Look Magazine in 1962. Thiel's fellow Palantir alum Trae Stephens, who was chair of Trump's Department of Defense transition team, also serves on Carbyne's advisory board, as does Eliot Tawil, a New York real estate developer and major Trump donor.
Managing Crises and Resources for the Belt and Road
Carbyne co-founder and shareholder Lital Leshem was former Business Development Executive of Mobileye, the Israeli subsidiary of Intel which has taken part in the GoforIsrael Conference that introduced around 100 Israeli high-tech startup companies to Chinese investors in Shanghai. She currently serves as Executive Director of the private equity fund Frontier Resource Group (FRG), which invests in "natural resource opportunities in frontier markets". FRG's founder is none other than Erik Prince of Blackwater private contractor infamy. FRG is merely the latest manifestation of this company that was also known as Xe for a time, but throughout the "theocon" Prince has employed Knights Templar imagery which is a useful psyop of the Zionist/Globalist dialectic.
The FRG is officially based in the UAE, but is actually a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Frontier Services Group (FSG), a logistics and security company owned by Chang Zhenming after Prince sold his majority stake in FSG to the Chinese investor in 2013. Zhenming is chairman of China's massive state-owned investment company Citic Group. For its own wreckless actions in Iraq, outside the command of a Neocon/Zionist-dominated Pentagon that outsourced operations to such private contractors, Blackwater in its current FSG mask seems keen on obediently carrying out China's interests in all strategic and resource-rich hotspots of the Belt and Road. "Frontier focuses on protecting Chinese enterprises in Africa and Asia" in its mining operations in conflict-ridden areas.
Tracing the FRG/FSG's activities and how these intersect to those of the three main Eurasian Union/Belt and Road power centers - Israel, China and Russia - reveal just how crucial "crisis" patterns (whether real or engineered) are used to manage natural resources. One of Erik Prince's recent projects is investing in the discovery, exploitation, and delivery of resources to produce electric car batteries. His operations include the cobalt mines of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which account for the majority of the world's cobalt. The elites push "green" technology through their engineered psyop of an apocalyptic Extinction Rebellion meant to shame working-class masses for their "carbon footprint" while its elitist advocates hypocritically pollute the most. Such a psyop is providing the fuel (pardon the pun) for the likes of Prince, his Chinese bosses, Israeli Unit 8200 partners, and various oligarchs to profit. Indeed he was quick to assure that his mining operations are done in "an efficient and environmentally acceptable manner".
That the Chinese Communist regime oversees some of the world's worst environmental abuses is ignored exactly because in many ways this combination of the old dialectic of Capitalism and Communism overseen by a bureaucratic managerial class is exactly the elitists' utopia. While common workers in Europe and North America are told to "atone" for the "sins" of Western imperialism, China has vastly expanded its imperialist activities over Africa with no concern for either "carbon emissions" or humanitarianism. "China is a key transit point for cobalt," writes Australian investigative journalist Antony Loewenstein. "Because Chinese companies dominate the supply chain, placing Prince in prime position to capitalize, given his deep ties to Beijing. Many Chinese firms have also been found to buy cobalt mined by children in Congo."
Blood Mines of the Chabad and Eurasianist Oligarchs
The Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) won a lucrative $101.5 million license to extract copper at the DRC's Frontier mine. The ENRC previously bought Congolese mining assets belonging to Israeli diamond merchant Dan Gertler. In 2000, the Kabila regime gave Gertler a sizable cut of Congo's vast copper and cobalt resources in exchange for Israeli military aid, in a deal that was brokered by Gertler's spiritual adviser and business partner, Chabad Rabbi Chaim Leibovitch - who organizes many Chabad actitivies and has called for the Lubavitcher Rebbe's teachings being spread to "redeem the entire world". Through his Dan Gertler International and Emaxon Finance Corporation, Gertler donates to Chabad and works closely with its Kinshasa branch. It was Gertler's grandfather Moshe Schnitzer who as President of the Israeli Diamond Exchange, oversaw Israel becoming the world's largest diamond center. Gertler's public relations is handled by a firm whose clients include Israeli aeronautics and robotic weapons and intelligence companies.
Although the ENRC is based in Kazakhstan, its primary shareholder and former director Alexander Mashkevitch holds an Israeli passport and "rarely spends more than a week each month in Kazakhstan" while controlling "one-fourth" of its entire economy. He founded the Jewish Congress of Kazakhstan under Chabad auspices and funded the Chabad synagogue in its capital. As former president of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, Mashkevitch met Israeli leaders and wanted to create a TV network to "represent Israel on an international level". The ENRC was the subject of a UK corruption probe that began in 2013. Mashkevitch is an investor and business partner of the real estate investment firm Bayrock Group, whose founders Tevfik Arif and Felix Sater have assorted links with Chabad, Putin, and the Trump administration. The Russian-born Sater associates with the Chabad of Port Washington in Long Island, received its "Man of the Year" award, and told Politico that he sits on the board of numerous Chabad entities. Although not Jewish, the Kazakh-Turkish citizen Tevfik Arif is among the top benefactors of Chabad of Port Washington. He was arrested and his yacht seized in Turkey on suspicion of running an international sex trafficking ring in 2010. Arif also served as an "agent on the ground" in Kazakhstan for Trans World Group, a natural resource firm whose founders, the brothers David and Simon Reuben, profited from Russia's aluminum privatization in cooperation with such future Kremlin-linked oligarchs as Roman Abramovitch in the 1990s.
Mashkevich went to the Seychelles to meet with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed in January 2017, in a meeting that also included Erik Prince, Kremlin-linked Russian investor Kirill Dmitriev, Saudi banker Abdulrahman Bin Mahfouz, and Trump-associated businessman George Nader. Mashkevitch is one of the current owners of Alferon Management, a London-based mining acquisition company with operations in Zambia, the DRC, Indonesia, Russia, Kosovo, and other countries. He owns another firm called International Mineral Resources, which along with Israeli-owned company called Cunico, operates the iron-nickel plant Ferronikeli which has caused toxic air and water pollution in Kosovo. Cunico is owned by billionaire diamond merchant Beny Steinmetz, whose real estate partners include the Reuben brothers and Olayan Group, a Saudi investment company deeply connected with the military-industrial Bechtel Corporation and a host of international banks. Steinmetz was involved in a real estate scam in Romania alongside political adviser Tal Silberstein and Shimon Sheves, Yitzhak Rabin's chief of staff. Steinmetz came under controversy for his mines in Guinea until he sold them to a Chinese company. This parallel takeover of African natural resources by Israeli and Chinese firms is a recurring story.
A 2006 report by the American Jewish Committee detailed how after 1980, "Mossad agents, military emissaries, and a small group of private businessmen....replaced diplomats as Israel's main interlocuters with African leaders and political (mainly opposition) groups," specifically citing Angola, DRC and the Central African Republic. One of these is the Uzbek-Russian-Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev, whose Chabad links I discussed in 2017 and have earned him the nickname "missionary mogul", such that Leviev says: “The rebbe is my role model, and my values are his values." Holding up the elitist technocrat Bill Gates as his own model, Leviev has also built a vast "philanthropy" empire from his unscrupulous profits. "To make this vast philanthropic enterprise run, Leviev subsidizes an army of some 10,000 Jewish functionaries from Ukraine to Azerbaijan, including 300 rabbis. Most of the 300 rabbis are Chabadniks", according to an informative biographical piece by the staunchly Zionist journalist Zev Chavets. Leviev personifies how all these Globalist interests and power-centers intersect through one vast network.
Leviev's vast business interests which include real estate and infrastructure projects in the United States and Western Europe, as with his diamond and mining interests in Africa, does position him to speculate and profit from the current crisis once the microbes settle. This includes recent real estate moves in the United States tied to well-connected oligarchs. The high tech security system at his headquarters can be expanded in ways that, as we have seen earlier, will be used for surveillance and other less than savory purposes. Leviev's primary international corporation is Africa Israel Investments (hereafter known as Africa Israel), which he purchased from Israel's Bank Leumi in 1996. One of its branches is AFI Europe, whose vast real estate activities in Central and Eastern Europe, combined with Leviev's other real estate activities in New York, seem to lend credence to Shimon Peres' boast in a Hotel Hilton Tel Aviv speech on 10 October 2007, that "From such a small country like ours, this is almost amazing. I see that we are buying up Manhattan, Hungary, Romania and Poland. Thanks to our talent, our contacts and our dynamism, we get almost everywhere."
Not surprising in light of the deepening Israeli-Chinese alliance, Leviev was the subject of a 2010 report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission that accused him of ties to Chinese intelligence via his business deals. These included Africa Israel's selling the JP Morgan building across from the New York Stock Exchange, to China Sonangol, owned by Sam Pa who has ties to Chinese intelligence. Veteran Israeli investigative journalist Yossi Melman writes: "Using the group, Chinese intelligence acquires oil and energy companies and other important assets in countries in Africa, Latin American, Southeast Asia, as well as in the United States. In this way it promotes Chinese national interests, increases its influence and guarantees the supply of raw materials - first and foremost oil - necessary for its economy." China Sonangol is part of the Hong Kong-based 88 Queensway Group, whose senior director Wu Yang "provided the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong with an address that matches the address of Chinese foreign intelligence". Leviev had earlier sold the New York Times building to Jared Kushner, who has his own Chinese dealings. The "right hand man" of Leviev is Rotem Rosen, who as long-time CEO of the Sapir Organization - founded by a billionaire donor to Chabad - profited off the 2007-2008 economic crisis.
Leviev is also connected to the other main Eurasian power-center, the Russia of Putin whom he describes as a "true friend". The two have been close ever since Putin took Leviev and Chabad's side in an internal dispute within the Russian Jewish community, appointing Leviev's candidate Berel Lazar as the Chief Rabbi rather than the more-secular Reform Jewish elite. After this both Chabad and its oligarchs rose in prominence within Russia. Two of them, Leviev and Abramovich, funded the Chabad-run Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia. Leviev's influence extends among other leaders of former Soviet republics, including Azerbaijan's Aliyev, as well as business interests in Kazakhstan, where he serves as Israel's honorary consul. In 2002, Leviev partnered with Henry Kissinger to honor Uzbek President Islam Karimov for his support of both the "War on Terror" and Chabad's activities in his country. Leviev was also present when Karimov received the "international leadership award" from Beer Hagolah Institute, a New York-based front associated with Russian-Jewish mobsters (sponsoring many of their visas into the US) and the Great Neck Chabad House.
Although the two later had a major falling out over profits, the crucial figure in Leviev's expansion into Africa was the Russian-Israeli billionaire Arkady Gaydamak, who made US$790 million from trafficking Russian and Czech arms in the Angolan Civil War on behalf of the Communist MPLA government. A grateful Angolan President José Eduardo Dos Santos awarded Gaydamak with an Angolan passport and role of economic adviser. Leviev says he was introduced to Gaydamak by former Mossad chief Danny Yatom, with whom Gaydamak had established a company with activities in Kazakhstan and Angola. In 1999, Leviev and Gaydamak established a joint metallurgy operation in Kazakhstan. Aside from those two countries, Leviev also owns the Namibian Minerals Corporation, accused by both Interpol and the Namibian government of stealing and smuggling diamonds from that country. In 2002, Leviev became the second-largest exporter of Congo's diamonds, exceeded only by Gertler.
In a joint venture with the Russian state-owned diamond company Alrosa, a Brazilian company, and the Angolan state diamond company Endiama, Leviev bought into the Catoca mine. Alrosa's chairman, Anton Siluanov, is Putin's Finance Minister and current Russian regional head of the IMF and World Bank through the Eurasian Development Bank. Upon Leviev's suggestion in 1999, Dos Santos centralized control over Angola's diamond resources through their joint venture, Ascorp. In 2004, Leviev and Endiama formed a new company called Sodiam, with its office in Ramat Gan, Israel. Dos Santos and his daughter Isabel have a personal stake in these deals with Israeli and Russian diamond merchants, making "a fortune at the expense of the Angolan people" according to the Luanda Leaks report. Chabad has a presence in Angola to cater to these merchants. Not surprisingly, Lital Leshem is also drawing upon Israel's business networks in Angola on behalf of Frontier Services.

The links are innumerable but if we just follow up only some links directly related to the current Coronavirus, we reveal a strange complex network involving various Israeli private security and hi-tech firms founded and staffed by Unit 8200 alumni, American Neocons, Neoliberals and Trump officials, Russian-Jewish oligarchs closely tied to Putin, Chinese Communist officials, Globalist think-tanks and Communitarian technocrats, Gulf Arab oil sheikhs, and the Chabad movement. Among the main companies to watch are NSO Group, Black Cube, Frontier Services Group, Carbyne911, Renova Group, and Lev Leviev's Africa-Israel Investments.
Those of us aware of historical and natural cycles know there are epidemic cycles repeating every 100 years or so, but certain companies are exploiting the Coronavirus to slip in various AI-based algorithms to "predict" epidemics for what we can surmise are "management" purposes. Predictive analyst Kira Radinsky worked at a Microsoft Research medical data-mining operation and is currently chairwoman and Chief Technology Officer at Diagnostic Robotics, which develops Artificial Intelligence in the context of medical data and has partnered with the transhumanist Singularity Education Group. Aside from teaching at the Unit 8200-ridden Technion Institute, after her own stint in Unit 8200 she was selected for Unit 81, an even-more classified offshoot of Unit 8200. Interestingly in light of others capitalizing upon this event, Unit 81 broke its cover in a P.R. campaign about its role "fighting" the Coronavirus.
Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, a hardline Zionist who has a record in hi-tech firms, recently announced he wanted to use NSO Group to "fight the coronavirus". As Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Bennett promoted a system for identifying "anti-Semitism" on the Internet "developed by a company managed and staffed with former members of military technology units and veterans of the IDF Military Intelligence's Unit 8200." The system was "based on artificial intelligence that is capable of analyzing texts and provides significant information on the posts and users who upload them, all according to the definition of anti-Semitism determined by the government." This slippery definition is expanded to include opposition to Zionism, including certain activities of the Israeli government which subvert the sovereignty of other countries. We have seen that previous tragedies were similarly used to push a broad-sweeping agenda of surveillance and censorship.

| The Carbyne/Frontier/Black Cube network |
Carbyne911 is another crucial firm exploiting Covid-19 for an agenda we can clearly surmise through its past activities and its various investors and executives. Although also known simply as Carbyne, one has to wonder if the "911" addition serves a dual psychological imagery of "crisis management" on both a micro (911) and a more visceral macro (9/11) level. Carbyne's co-founder and shareholder Lital Leshem was an Israeli Military Intelligence Captain, who previously served as Marketing Director of Black Cube, an Israeli private intelligence firm whose own website describes itself as "A select group of veterans from the Israeli elite intelligence units that specialises in tailored solutions to complex business and litigation challenges." Among those "challenges" were discrediting rape accusers of disgraced Hollywood movie executive (and Zionist) Harvey Weinstein, efforts against the Iran nuclear deal, and harassing lawyers involved in lawsuits against the NSO Group.
Ostensibly providing technology services to emergency centers, Carbyne exists in "a grey area giving it unprecedented access to private information". Chief Technology Officer Alex Dizengof previously handled cybersecurity in the Israeli Prime Minister's office. Carbyne CEO Amir Elichai served in a special elite and intelligence corps. According to an investigative report in Narativ, another Carbyne board member is Pinchas Buchris, former Director of Unit 8200. Two partners of his venture capital firm State of Mind Venture, Nir Adler and Yuval Baharav, were past executives at Amdocs, an Israeli billing data and credit checks firm investigated in the lead-up to 9/11 for espionage against the U.S.. Buchris serves as "mentor" to various Israeli cybersecurity start-ups founded by his former underlings, including being on the advisory board of Cybereason, founded by three Unit 8200 officers - Lior Div, Yossi Naar and Yonatan Striem-Amit. Techcrunch noted in its interview with Lior Div that "Cybereason’s work is the continuation of the six years of training and service he spent working with the Israeli army’s 8200 Unit."

| Vekselberg, Putin, and Russia's Chabad Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar |
Carbyne's investors include a cabal of creeps and scoundrels. Jeffrey Epstein invested $1.5 million of his pedo-money into a project that grew into Carbyne in 2015. His partner in the venture was former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, who has often appeared as Carbyne's front-man in media appearances. Two other crucial investors were billionaire Viktor Vekselberg and his cousin Andrew Intrater, who bought 24% of Carbyne's shares through the latter's Columbus Nova Technology Partners in 2017. As owner and president of the Renova Group, Vekselberg has close ties with Putin. In 2012, he donated $4.5 million towards the construction of the Chabad-directed Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow that was also partly-funded by Putin. As a member of its board of trustees, Vekselberg helped arrange for Lubavitcher Rebbe texts to be moved to the Museum. He also invested in Fifth Dimension, an Israeli company staffed by Mossad spooks such as its president, ex-Mossad deputy director Ram Ben-Barak, and CEO Doron Cohen. Intrater donated $250,000 to Trump's inauguration fund in 2017. Vekselberg and Intrater together sent $500,000 to Trump's lawyer through Columbus Nova, the American wing of Renova Group.
The Carbyne advisory board includes Michael Chertoff, the infamous head of Homeland Security under George Bush who co-authored that massive surveillance state power-grab called The Patriot Act. The treacherous dual American-Israeli citizen is notorious for ensuring the "five dancing Israelis" and other Mossad spies were not questioned after 9/11. He also blocked the criminal investigation of 9/11, ensuring that survivors' families could not seek any civil action in the courts. He appointed the Israeli Amit Yoran director of the Homeland Security's cybersecurity division, which we can now see as one of the early move outsourcing American cybersecurity to these Israeli networks. Chertoff has met with Chabad rabbis and participated in American Friends of Lubavitch dinners. An emergency dispatcher app was developed by Reporty, a direct offshoot of Carbyne whose board of directors include Barak, Chertoff, and Buchris.

| Ben-Gurion's full "vision" reads like a concise utopia to all the Globalist networks: Multipolar power blocs, Jerusalem as the center of the world, rule by a Technocratic elite, Noahidism |
These companies were already developing the software that will now be seized upon for the current crisis, but lurking underneath is a mass surveillance agenda. Another Carbyne investor is billionaire Peter Thiel, the Bilderberg Steering Committee member who has invested heavily in surveillance applications. His data analysis company Palantir Technologies use "war on terror tools to track American citizens". Thiel epitomizes the Globalist Technocrat, promoting Singularity projects and financing AI research. His obsession about cheating death calls to mind the similar transhumanist/technocratic vision (predictive programming) made by Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to Look Magazine in 1962. Thiel's fellow Palantir alum Trae Stephens, who was chair of Trump's Department of Defense transition team, also serves on Carbyne's advisory board, as does Eliot Tawil, a New York real estate developer and major Trump donor.
Managing Crises and Resources for the Belt and Road
Carbyne co-founder and shareholder Lital Leshem was former Business Development Executive of Mobileye, the Israeli subsidiary of Intel which has taken part in the GoforIsrael Conference that introduced around 100 Israeli high-tech startup companies to Chinese investors in Shanghai. She currently serves as Executive Director of the private equity fund Frontier Resource Group (FRG), which invests in "natural resource opportunities in frontier markets". FRG's founder is none other than Erik Prince of Blackwater private contractor infamy. FRG is merely the latest manifestation of this company that was also known as Xe for a time, but throughout the "theocon" Prince has employed Knights Templar imagery which is a useful psyop of the Zionist/Globalist dialectic.
The FRG is officially based in the UAE, but is actually a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Frontier Services Group (FSG), a logistics and security company owned by Chang Zhenming after Prince sold his majority stake in FSG to the Chinese investor in 2013. Zhenming is chairman of China's massive state-owned investment company Citic Group. For its own wreckless actions in Iraq, outside the command of a Neocon/Zionist-dominated Pentagon that outsourced operations to such private contractors, Blackwater in its current FSG mask seems keen on obediently carrying out China's interests in all strategic and resource-rich hotspots of the Belt and Road. "Frontier focuses on protecting Chinese enterprises in Africa and Asia" in its mining operations in conflict-ridden areas.

Tracing the FRG/FSG's activities and how these intersect to those of the three main Eurasian Union/Belt and Road power centers - Israel, China and Russia - reveal just how crucial "crisis" patterns (whether real or engineered) are used to manage natural resources. One of Erik Prince's recent projects is investing in the discovery, exploitation, and delivery of resources to produce electric car batteries. His operations include the cobalt mines of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which account for the majority of the world's cobalt. The elites push "green" technology through their engineered psyop of an apocalyptic Extinction Rebellion meant to shame working-class masses for their "carbon footprint" while its elitist advocates hypocritically pollute the most. Such a psyop is providing the fuel (pardon the pun) for the likes of Prince, his Chinese bosses, Israeli Unit 8200 partners, and various oligarchs to profit. Indeed he was quick to assure that his mining operations are done in "an efficient and environmentally acceptable manner".
That the Chinese Communist regime oversees some of the world's worst environmental abuses is ignored exactly because in many ways this combination of the old dialectic of Capitalism and Communism overseen by a bureaucratic managerial class is exactly the elitists' utopia. While common workers in Europe and North America are told to "atone" for the "sins" of Western imperialism, China has vastly expanded its imperialist activities over Africa with no concern for either "carbon emissions" or humanitarianism. "China is a key transit point for cobalt," writes Australian investigative journalist Antony Loewenstein. "Because Chinese companies dominate the supply chain, placing Prince in prime position to capitalize, given his deep ties to Beijing. Many Chinese firms have also been found to buy cobalt mined by children in Congo."

Blood Mines of the Chabad and Eurasianist Oligarchs
The Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) won a lucrative $101.5 million license to extract copper at the DRC's Frontier mine. The ENRC previously bought Congolese mining assets belonging to Israeli diamond merchant Dan Gertler. In 2000, the Kabila regime gave Gertler a sizable cut of Congo's vast copper and cobalt resources in exchange for Israeli military aid, in a deal that was brokered by Gertler's spiritual adviser and business partner, Chabad Rabbi Chaim Leibovitch - who organizes many Chabad actitivies and has called for the Lubavitcher Rebbe's teachings being spread to "redeem the entire world". Through his Dan Gertler International and Emaxon Finance Corporation, Gertler donates to Chabad and works closely with its Kinshasa branch. It was Gertler's grandfather Moshe Schnitzer who as President of the Israeli Diamond Exchange, oversaw Israel becoming the world's largest diamond center. Gertler's public relations is handled by a firm whose clients include Israeli aeronautics and robotic weapons and intelligence companies.
Although the ENRC is based in Kazakhstan, its primary shareholder and former director Alexander Mashkevitch holds an Israeli passport and "rarely spends more than a week each month in Kazakhstan" while controlling "one-fourth" of its entire economy. He founded the Jewish Congress of Kazakhstan under Chabad auspices and funded the Chabad synagogue in its capital. As former president of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, Mashkevitch met Israeli leaders and wanted to create a TV network to "represent Israel on an international level". The ENRC was the subject of a UK corruption probe that began in 2013. Mashkevitch is an investor and business partner of the real estate investment firm Bayrock Group, whose founders Tevfik Arif and Felix Sater have assorted links with Chabad, Putin, and the Trump administration. The Russian-born Sater associates with the Chabad of Port Washington in Long Island, received its "Man of the Year" award, and told Politico that he sits on the board of numerous Chabad entities. Although not Jewish, the Kazakh-Turkish citizen Tevfik Arif is among the top benefactors of Chabad of Port Washington. He was arrested and his yacht seized in Turkey on suspicion of running an international sex trafficking ring in 2010. Arif also served as an "agent on the ground" in Kazakhstan for Trans World Group, a natural resource firm whose founders, the brothers David and Simon Reuben, profited from Russia's aluminum privatization in cooperation with such future Kremlin-linked oligarchs as Roman Abramovitch in the 1990s.
Mashkevich went to the Seychelles to meet with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed in January 2017, in a meeting that also included Erik Prince, Kremlin-linked Russian investor Kirill Dmitriev, Saudi banker Abdulrahman Bin Mahfouz, and Trump-associated businessman George Nader. Mashkevitch is one of the current owners of Alferon Management, a London-based mining acquisition company with operations in Zambia, the DRC, Indonesia, Russia, Kosovo, and other countries. He owns another firm called International Mineral Resources, which along with Israeli-owned company called Cunico, operates the iron-nickel plant Ferronikeli which has caused toxic air and water pollution in Kosovo. Cunico is owned by billionaire diamond merchant Beny Steinmetz, whose real estate partners include the Reuben brothers and Olayan Group, a Saudi investment company deeply connected with the military-industrial Bechtel Corporation and a host of international banks. Steinmetz was involved in a real estate scam in Romania alongside political adviser Tal Silberstein and Shimon Sheves, Yitzhak Rabin's chief of staff. Steinmetz came under controversy for his mines in Guinea until he sold them to a Chinese company. This parallel takeover of African natural resources by Israeli and Chinese firms is a recurring story.

A 2006 report by the American Jewish Committee detailed how after 1980, "Mossad agents, military emissaries, and a small group of private businessmen....replaced diplomats as Israel's main interlocuters with African leaders and political (mainly opposition) groups," specifically citing Angola, DRC and the Central African Republic. One of these is the Uzbek-Russian-Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev, whose Chabad links I discussed in 2017 and have earned him the nickname "missionary mogul", such that Leviev says: “The rebbe is my role model, and my values are his values." Holding up the elitist technocrat Bill Gates as his own model, Leviev has also built a vast "philanthropy" empire from his unscrupulous profits. "To make this vast philanthropic enterprise run, Leviev subsidizes an army of some 10,000 Jewish functionaries from Ukraine to Azerbaijan, including 300 rabbis. Most of the 300 rabbis are Chabadniks", according to an informative biographical piece by the staunchly Zionist journalist Zev Chavets. Leviev personifies how all these Globalist interests and power-centers intersect through one vast network.
Leviev's vast business interests which include real estate and infrastructure projects in the United States and Western Europe, as with his diamond and mining interests in Africa, does position him to speculate and profit from the current crisis once the microbes settle. This includes recent real estate moves in the United States tied to well-connected oligarchs. The high tech security system at his headquarters can be expanded in ways that, as we have seen earlier, will be used for surveillance and other less than savory purposes. Leviev's primary international corporation is Africa Israel Investments (hereafter known as Africa Israel), which he purchased from Israel's Bank Leumi in 1996. One of its branches is AFI Europe, whose vast real estate activities in Central and Eastern Europe, combined with Leviev's other real estate activities in New York, seem to lend credence to Shimon Peres' boast in a Hotel Hilton Tel Aviv speech on 10 October 2007, that "From such a small country like ours, this is almost amazing. I see that we are buying up Manhattan, Hungary, Romania and Poland. Thanks to our talent, our contacts and our dynamism, we get almost everywhere."
Not surprising in light of the deepening Israeli-Chinese alliance, Leviev was the subject of a 2010 report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission that accused him of ties to Chinese intelligence via his business deals. These included Africa Israel's selling the JP Morgan building across from the New York Stock Exchange, to China Sonangol, owned by Sam Pa who has ties to Chinese intelligence. Veteran Israeli investigative journalist Yossi Melman writes: "Using the group, Chinese intelligence acquires oil and energy companies and other important assets in countries in Africa, Latin American, Southeast Asia, as well as in the United States. In this way it promotes Chinese national interests, increases its influence and guarantees the supply of raw materials - first and foremost oil - necessary for its economy." China Sonangol is part of the Hong Kong-based 88 Queensway Group, whose senior director Wu Yang "provided the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong with an address that matches the address of Chinese foreign intelligence". Leviev had earlier sold the New York Times building to Jared Kushner, who has his own Chinese dealings. The "right hand man" of Leviev is Rotem Rosen, who as long-time CEO of the Sapir Organization - founded by a billionaire donor to Chabad - profited off the 2007-2008 economic crisis.
Leviev is also connected to the other main Eurasian power-center, the Russia of Putin whom he describes as a "true friend". The two have been close ever since Putin took Leviev and Chabad's side in an internal dispute within the Russian Jewish community, appointing Leviev's candidate Berel Lazar as the Chief Rabbi rather than the more-secular Reform Jewish elite. After this both Chabad and its oligarchs rose in prominence within Russia. Two of them, Leviev and Abramovich, funded the Chabad-run Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia. Leviev's influence extends among other leaders of former Soviet republics, including Azerbaijan's Aliyev, as well as business interests in Kazakhstan, where he serves as Israel's honorary consul. In 2002, Leviev partnered with Henry Kissinger to honor Uzbek President Islam Karimov for his support of both the "War on Terror" and Chabad's activities in his country. Leviev was also present when Karimov received the "international leadership award" from Beer Hagolah Institute, a New York-based front associated with Russian-Jewish mobsters (sponsoring many of their visas into the US) and the Great Neck Chabad House.

| Dos Santos and Leviev dividingprofits from Angola's resources |
Although the two later had a major falling out over profits, the crucial figure in Leviev's expansion into Africa was the Russian-Israeli billionaire Arkady Gaydamak, who made US$790 million from trafficking Russian and Czech arms in the Angolan Civil War on behalf of the Communist MPLA government. A grateful Angolan President José Eduardo Dos Santos awarded Gaydamak with an Angolan passport and role of economic adviser. Leviev says he was introduced to Gaydamak by former Mossad chief Danny Yatom, with whom Gaydamak had established a company with activities in Kazakhstan and Angola. In 1999, Leviev and Gaydamak established a joint metallurgy operation in Kazakhstan. Aside from those two countries, Leviev also owns the Namibian Minerals Corporation, accused by both Interpol and the Namibian government of stealing and smuggling diamonds from that country. In 2002, Leviev became the second-largest exporter of Congo's diamonds, exceeded only by Gertler.
In a joint venture with the Russian state-owned diamond company Alrosa, a Brazilian company, and the Angolan state diamond company Endiama, Leviev bought into the Catoca mine. Alrosa's chairman, Anton Siluanov, is Putin's Finance Minister and current Russian regional head of the IMF and World Bank through the Eurasian Development Bank. Upon Leviev's suggestion in 1999, Dos Santos centralized control over Angola's diamond resources through their joint venture, Ascorp. In 2004, Leviev and Endiama formed a new company called Sodiam, with its office in Ramat Gan, Israel. Dos Santos and his daughter Isabel have a personal stake in these deals with Israeli and Russian diamond merchants, making "a fortune at the expense of the Angolan people" according to the Luanda Leaks report. Chabad has a presence in Angola to cater to these merchants. Not surprisingly, Lital Leshem is also drawing upon Israel's business networks in Angola on behalf of Frontier Services.
