sound familiar: the king himself is the economy
 |
Eswatini is home to 1.2 million people and its economy is heavily
dependent on its larger neighbors. Unemployment is high: Nearly 60% of
Swazis under 25 are out of work. And, at 53 years as of 2021, life
expectancy for men was among the lowest in the world. For women, it was
61 years. Those poor health outcomes are driven by the world’s highest
prevalence of HIV among adults: Around 26% of the adult population is
living with HIV. |
The tiny southern African kingdom of Eswatini — once known as Swaziland — has evolved against a constant backdrop: the monarchy.
While most of the population of 1.2 million faces grinding poverty, King
Mswati III and members of his expansive family flaunt their wealth,
from flashy bespoke watches to fleets of luxury cars.👇

The current king, Mswati III, took the throne in 1986 at age 18. Now in
his fifties, he’s Africa’s last absolute monarch. The size of the royal
family is a secret, but Mswati III reportedly has 11 wives and more than
30 children. The family has earned a reputation for its luxurious
lifestyle, despite high poverty rates and unemployment in the tiny
country it rules. |
Now, an unprecedented leak from inside the Eswatini Financial
Intelligence Unit reveals how the king’s broken promises and his inner
circle have enabled suspicious money to flow through the landlocked
country and beyond.
Swazi Secrets is based on more than 890,000 leaked internal records from the EFIU shared with ICIJ by the nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets.
ICIJ coordinated a team of 38 journalists across 11 countries to
explore the documents, which include bank records, police investigation
reports, court affidavits and transcripts, and confidential exchanges
between government agencies in the region.
The investigation highlights the extraordinary role of Mswati III and some of his key allies in supporting a new bank in a years-long tussle with the regulator, the Central Bank of Eswatini.
It also exposes how a “special economic zone” — touted as a way to
repair the country’s tattered economy — became a ghost town home to two phantom gold refineries channeling millions of dollars to Dubai.
“When we talk of the Swazi economy we can say the king himself is the
economy, because Swaziland is emblematic of a country where the entire
economy is actually captured by royal interests,” said one human rights
activist, who asked not be named for fear of retribution.
CONTROLLERS
“Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.” – Aldous Huxley – Letter to George Orwell about 1984 in 1949
OVER AND OVER
THE ELITE NEVER, EVER GET MASSACRED OR WIPED OUT with their wealth. They just move. They move all down through the ages. They bring on catastrophes to an empire when they've used up that empire and they’ve already created another one to move into and then they flatten the old one and move on. This has been the system for thousands and thousands and thousands of years at least. - Alan Watt
Artificial messages coming from the environment and through controlled dark portal organizations and mind-controlled people feels; metallic, abrasive, acidic, energetically burdensome, and sharp knife or blade like. Sometimes it can make you feel suddenly physically ill with headaches, nausea, or body parts with stabbing pains, and even diarrhea when you come into contact with it. AI feels sickening to the Cosmic Christ Consciousness. [https://rielpolitik.com/2022/08/16/archons-overlords-magick-black-suns-lisa-renee-globalists-standing-at-the-ready/]
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution” ― Aldous Huxley
Watchers?
Watcherism is the worldwide religion of the ruling class, make no mistake about it. Forget about nationality, forget about ethnicity, forget about inherited religious tradition. None of that matters - not one single bit - at the elite level.
This is the religion they all share, and they tell you so over and over and over and over again. Thankfully, I think that message is sinking through to all but the most myopic and obstinate. - Christopher Knowles, Secret Sun blog

Hi folks, I am Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The Matrix on February the 9th 2009. For newcomers, look into www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com and download as many of the previous shows I've done, in the past, over the years, as you wish. I try to give you short-cuts to the big picture and get us above all the small bickering at the bottom; and there's also a lot of misleading information too, that keeps us trapped for years sometimes, in different tunnels and that's what it is, it's a world full of tunnels of information. There are some people who are experts in particular tunnels and it's quite good too, when you talk to them, because they know every part of it, in one particular area, and they can talk forever, with details and data, but we have to get them all together, to come out the tunnels and combine all this information, to get the big-big picture and I try to do that as well, on these talks. You can download as many of the previous talks I'v...
Documentary filmmaker Marijn Poels is in search of humanity's primal code. In the second part of his trilogy, he unravels the genetically embedded principles and instincts we have neglected through the ravages of time. A compelling and mind-boggling quest of how certain stories, frequencies, and intentional programs suppress our perceptions, and block our path to humanity. (I'd call that sorcery!) What if you visit a place where you’re confronted with our history that turns out to be much different than the one you were always led to believe? How a false narrative (sorcery) has managed to keep the whole foundation of our being in its grip by shifting reality into myths. A story of how oppression and fear have kept us from developing our primal forces for thousands of years, which are now being reclaimed worldwide. Because it's just in our human DNA and it's easier to reclaim than once thought. A mind-boggling experimental quest by documentarian Marijn Poels into...
