The World Economic Forum (WEF) which represents the Western financial elites, played a key role in the launching of the March 11, 2020 corona lockdown, which was conducive to a Worldwide process of economic and social chaos. It also supported the launching of the Covid-19 vaccine in November 2020, which (amply documented) has been conducive (Worldwide) to an upward trend in mortality and morbidity.
And now they are “promising” us a Crisis which is “Much Worse than Covid”.
Over the last four years, starting in January 2020, “the deliberate triggering of chaos” has become part of a broad and complex agenda:
- the war in Ukraine,
- the hike in energy prices,
- the triggering of bankruptcies,
- the collapse of economic activity,
- widespread poverty, famine and despair.
In recent developments, Washington has endorsed
- Israel’s genocide directed against the People of Palestine,
- An unfolding US-NATO-Israel military agenda against the broader Middle East.
- US Threats against Iran
- US-NATO threats directed against the Russian Federation
- Confrontation directed against China
Cyber-Attacks
The article below focusses on the dangers of Cyber Warfare, which were first announced by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020
In 2021, the WEF conducted a simulation of Cyber Attacks involving a scenario of Paralysis of the Power Supply, Communications, Transportation, The Internet.
Klaus Schwab intimated in no uncertain terms based on “a simulated scenario” that a cyber-attack:
“Could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole …
The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.” (emphasis added)
Barack and Michelle Obama’s “Leave the World Behind” Movie: Cyberattack, “Synchronized Chaos”, Collapse, “Civil War”
Another controversial element has recently emerged. Available on Netflix, Hollywood has released “Leave the World Behind” produced by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, based on the script of Rumaan Alam‘s novel. The film director is Sam Esmail.
“Leave the World Behind” “depicts the unraveling of society in the wake of a surprise attack by an unknown assailant, which “predicts a cyberattack on the U.S. power grid”.
Rumaan Alam’s novel “Leave the World Behind,” was published in October 2020, several month following the fear campaign and the March 11, 2020 Covid-19 “Lockdown”. In an interview with The Guardian: (October 26, 2021) Rumaan Alam says:
“I’d never even heard the word coronavirus prior to February 2020. On a very basic level, the book dramatises being trapped in at home and not having enough information – and it happened to be published into a reality in which many readers felt that they were trapped in their homes and didn’t have enough information. So it’s a strange resonance. [namely]… the individual relationship to anxiety over the climate, the absurdity of the contemporary moment, our warped relationship to technology. People are thinking and talking about this stuff so it makes sense that there will be books about it.
… The people I’m talking about are the person I am. The day lockdown began, what was the first thing we did? Aside from grocery shopping, everyone I know, myself included, went shopping …
According to Joseph Mercola in a carefully researched review of the “Leave the World Behind” movie:
“Leave the World Behind” depicts the unraveling of society in the wake of a surprise attack by an unknown assailant. Many believe the film, produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, predicts a cyberattack on the U.S. power grid
A cyberattack that will make the COVID pandemic look like a minor inconvenience in comparison to what has been repeatedly “promised” in recent years by World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab
“Leave the World Behind” doesn’t preach preparedness ideologies or indulge in apocalyptic fantasies. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the potential ramifications of societal breakdowns and the human condition’s capacity for both despair and resilience (See Mercola’s analysis, January 7, 2024, see Schwab quotation above)
Rumaan Alam’s novel depicts the social impacts of a Blackout affecting the entire U.S. East Coast.
There is no concrete evidence at this stage that the producers and director of “Leave the World Behind” were cognizant of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Simulation of a Cyber Attack first conducted in July 2020. The matter requires further investigation.

Video: the WEF Cyber Polygon 2020 Simulation. “The Year that has Changed the World”
An engineered “Cyber Terrorist Attack” conducive to unprecedented disruptions? Is this something that we should take seriously?
The World Economic Forum warns us of a new crisis of “even more significant economic and social implications than COVID19.”
“Protect People Properly”, Says former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair in the above video.
“What threat could possibly be more impactful?”

“breaks down the WEF’s “Cyber Polygon” tabletop exercise, its participants, and predictive programming around a looming large scale cyberattack on critical infrastructure that would unleash a Dark Winter and help to usher in the Great Reset.”

Jeremy Jurgens, WEF Managing Director:
In the words of Jeremy Jurgens, who is the WEF’s Managing Director and Head of the WEF’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution:
“I believe that there will be another crisis. It will be more significant. It will be faster than what we’ve seen with COVID. The impact will be greater, and as a result the economic and social implications will be even more significant.” (emphasis added)
The 2020 Cyber Polygon Simulation was followed by a Second Simulation in 2021
What does Klaus Schwab have up his Sleeve? A Geopolitical Slant: The 2021 Cyber Polygon Simulation
The 2021 WEF cyber polygon simulation scenario had an obvious “contradictory” geopolitical slant:
The event was chaired by Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, numerous Russian financial institutions, media and communications entities had been invited by the WEF.
Forty-eight countries participated in the Event, there were 41 partners of which 10 were from Russia and Kazakhstan: these included News Agency TASS, NTV, Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank and a leading global financial institution, the Mail.ru Group, Russia’s largest internet provider, MTS, Russia’s leading telecommunications group, the State Legal Department of the Omsk Region, Siberia. Powerful banking financial institutions from Kazakstan. Among others.
See also the assumptions of the Training Program, which are predicated on terrorist cyber hackers.
Amply documented, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been instrumental in endorsing US-NATO’s military agenda in regards to Ukraine.
Was this July 2021 Cyber Polygon event (which occurred less than 8 months prior to the outset of the Ukraine War) intent upon creating political divisions within the Russian Federation by establishing partnerships with a number of powerful Russian media, communications, banking and financial institutions, etc.
Not a single representative from the People’s Republic of China. Was the Cyber Polygon Simulation (July 2021) intended to foster confrontation between China and Russia? Are Cyber attacks contemplated as part of a Global Military agenda?
The Process of “All-Digitization”
In November 2023, as documented in an article by Peter Koenig, the Financial Elites passed from the “simulation of scenarios” to outright “implementation”. They entrusted the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) “as the flag-carrier … for the deadly onslaught of All-Digitization.”
Koenig focusses on the “Take Down of a Society That is Digital.” which could be conducted in the form of a Worldwide Cyber Attack (as outlined by Klaus Schwab in his 2021 statement):
“If everything around us is run by digital signals that are controlled by the “Globalist Cabal” (Financial Elites) one or a few switches can turn off our different networks:
water supply, electricity, gas, all kinds of energy, food supply, fuel deliveries, traffic signals, all transportation, all communication, the money in our accounts, and much more.” (Peter Koenig, November 18, 2023
Bear in Mind, the July 2021 WEF “Cyber Attack Simulation was co-chaired by Klaus Schwab and the PM of Russia Mikhail Mishustin, Barely 7 months later, the WEF suspends it relationship with the Kremlin following the launching of President Putin’s Special Military Operation (SMO) against Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Another Crisis “Much Worse than Covid”,
Paralysis of Power Supply,
Communications, Transportation.
The WEF “Cyber Attack” Scenario
by Michel Chossudovsky
December 15, 2021
Introduction
The World Economic Forum (WEF) which represents the Western financial elites, played a key role in the launching of the March 11, 2020 lockdown, which was conducive to a Worldwide process of economic and social chaos.
The WEF is now pointing to: “A cyber-attack with COVID-like characteristics”, which promises to be far more devastating and chaotic than the Covid-19 pandemic.
The World Economic Forum’s “Concept 2021”. Cyber Polygon Scenario
The World Economic Forum (WEF) which co-sponsored Event 201, the table top simulation of the corona pandemic together with John Hopkins and the Gates Foundation in October 2019, has been involved in another strategic exercise entitled Concept 2021. The latter is described as an:
“international capacity building initiative aimed at raising the global cyber resilience”.
It is not a table top simulation comparable to Event 201.
Last year it was conducted at the height of the lockdown via video conferencing. This year, the 2021 Conference “discussed the “key risks of digitalization”.
Those participating in the Cyber Polygon Exercise (2020) included high tech companies including IBM, numerous banks and financial institutions, internet companies, cyber security agencies, corporate and government media, think tanks, law enforcement agencies including Interpol with representatives from 48 countries.
The exercise was an obvious means to secure reliable partners and develop strategic alliances. In this regard, there were numerous representatives from Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union, including major Russian banking interests, communications and media companies. All in all 42 partners. No corporate /governmental partners from China, participated in the simulation.
There was also a training program with 200 teams from 48 countries. Cyber Attack With Covid-like Characteristics
Simulation of A Cyber-Attack. Towards A Complete Halt to Power Supply, Communications, Transportation
Klaus Schwab, founder and Executive Director of the WEF and architect of the “Great Reset” describes the crisis scenario as follows:
“The frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole. The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.” (emphasis added)
Jeremy Jurgens, WEF Managing Director:
“I believe that there will be another crisis. It will be more significant. It will be faster than what we’ve seen with COVID. The impact will be greater, and as a result the economic and social implications will be even more significant.” (emphasis added)
The implications of these bold “predictions” which represent the interests of the financial establishment are far-reaching.
What they describe is a scenario of economic and social chaos involving the disruption of communications systems, the internet, financial and money transactions (including SWIFT), the power grid, global transportation, commodity trade, etc., as well as likely “geopolitical dislocations”.
The opening session (July 2021) of Cyber Polygon 2021 was conducted (video below) by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin together with the Director General of the WEF Klaus Schwab.
According to Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation
“Addressing cyberthreats and securing our common digital future are among the priorities of every government and company. …”

Removed from the WEF website
The WEF has suggested in no uncertain terms that another devastating Worldwide economic and social crisis is likely to occur in the wake of the so-called Covid-19 pandemic.

Is this Scenario a “Dress Rehearsal” for a Forthcoming Cyber Crisis?
The geopolitics of this exercise are complex. While Russia is routinely threatened by US-NATO, the Russian Federation [was] is a partner of this WEF initiative, which is largely dominated by Wall Street and the Western financial establishment.
Why was China –which is an ally of Russia– excluded from the Cyber Polygon Exercise?
The Cyber Attack is categorized as a Terrorist Act. Ask yourself the question: Who has the capabilities of carrying out such an attack?
Russia’s financial and banking establishment were actively involved in the Cyber Scenario. Was the exercise intended to create divisions between China and Russia?
While one cannot speculate, the matter must nonetheless be addressed.
And who will be blamed if the Cyber Scenario goes live?
Engineered economic and social chaos. Is that not part of a US hegemonic project?
