Modus Operandi to maintain dominance
Throughout modern history, powerful governments have often exerted their influence over sovereign nations under the guise of promoting democracy, human rights, and security. But there is a “Modus Operandi” that plays out and exposes these processes, in both the political and financial spheres. This process involves demonizing and destabilizing independent entities, and then installing more obedient figures who serve the interests of those influential powers.
The method is quite consistent. It begins with the demonization of a leader or institution. This often includes many accusations of corruption, non-compliance with international law, and human rights abuses. These accusations are then picked up by international media and other powerful institutions, creating a narrative that justifies intervention.
Once the groundwork for intervention is laid, supporting organizations often spring into action and apply pressure or sanctions, which cripple the country’s economy and destabilize the government. In many cases, covert operations are carried out, sometimes with the help of intelligence agencies or foreign powers, to support opposition groups within the country. This is when they take the country or economy hostage, or stage a coup to install an obedient leader.
This puppet leader is expected to open up the country’s (natural) resources and financial markets to foreign interests, implement a favorable foreign policy, and distance the country from any collaborations or policies that conflict with their goals. The result is a country that loses its sovereignty, with its political and economic future determined by external forces.
The same ‘Modus Operandi’ is being applied in the world of ‘Big Tech’, where decentralized platforms and visionary leaders are shaking up the established global and financial order. We will use the example of Binance, once the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, to illustrate the effective application of the ‘Modus Operandi’.
If we want freedom, we must stand up and speak out to preserve our rights and freedoms.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) built an online platform that became a major player in the crypto space, giving millions of users the ability to own and trade cryptocurrencies without the scrutiny of traditional financial institutions. As Binance grew in influence, it faced increasing scrutiny from regulators.
The initial phase of demonization seemed to be a political playbook: a series of allegations and investigations were launched against Binance and its founder, with claims ranging from facilitating money laundering to violating securities laws. These allegations were picked up by international media, which painted Binance as a lawless entity. Perhaps the same strategy will be used with the money laundering allegations against Surinamese banks.
Powerful financial institutions and governments then pressured CEO CZ, leading to his arrest and eventual resignation as CEO of Binance. This move has effectively destabilized the visionary leadership that had built Binance into a decentralized powerhouse, replacing them with more compliant and obedient figures who now do what regulators want.
We are now seeing the final phase of the Modus Operandi unfold. Binance recently froze the crypto wallets of dozens of users, even those with no apparent ties to illegal activity, under pressure from influential external powers. This move is in line with what influential traditional financial institutions and powerful governments have been trying to do for some time now, namely bring the crypto world under their control. By freezing these wallets, Binance is essentially doing what other entities want, such as the puppet rulers installed in sovereign countries.
Be aware that this approach is not just about controlling individual countries or private crypto platforms. It is about maintaining dominance over any system or entity that threatens the established world order. Both sovereign leaders and decentralized platforms pose a threat and challenge to the centralized power structures that have presided over global affairs for decades. By addressing these challenges subtly and effectively, powerful institutions can maintain control over the world’s political and financial systems.
However, this approach leads to political instability, civil disobedience, and the undermining of principles that ensure good governance - developments that we are all witnessing today! It is clear that groups that pose a threat to the status quo are being targeted by the same playbook: demonization, destabilization, and control.
As the world becomes increasingly connected and new technologies challenge old systems, it is important to recognize and resist these attempts to undermine sovereignty, allow censorship, and facilitate privacy violations. If we want freedom, we must stand up and speak out to preserve our rights and freedoms.
