James Patrick

James Patrick is an author, economist, and filmmaker from Washington DC who transitioned into documentary film-making during COVID-19, believing the response represented an attempt at "world communism over a flu." His films include Planet Lockdown (35 interviews across nine countries), Nitrogen 2000 (on Dutch farmers), CBDC: The End of Money, and his current project: a World War III documentary at worldwar3documentary.com.

The Big Picture: Technocratic Control

Patrick aligns with Hrvoje's view of "globalist technocratic totalitarianism"—an inter-generational, transnational elite class working to impoverish and subjugate humanity through digitalisation, cybernetics, algorithms, and AI governance. He cites the UAE's recent announcement of the world's first AI government by "agentic AI" as evidence this agenda is advancing.

Patrick expresses cautious uncertainty about ultimate success: "If they're going for everything, even if they only get 50%, is it a success?" He offers a note of hope that black markets and barter systems would emerge under CBDC regimes, as seen in the former Soviet Union, though with higher prices due to inefficiency.

Bitcoin, Blockchain, and the Surveillance Infrastructure

Patrick delivers surprising skepticism about Bitcoin's origins and purpose:

  • He attended 2013 Congressional hearings where figures like Chuck Schumer praised Bitcoin's technology while promising only to pursue "bad actors"—behaviour Patrick found suspiciously uncritical for a supposed threat to central bankers.
  • He notes NSA papers on e-cash from 1996, and that Ripple (XRP) was founded before Bitcoin existed.
  • His "crazy thesis": Bitcoin may have been created by intelligence services (possibly DARPA/NSA) to familiarise the public with digital money, thereby easing transition to CBDCs. He points to the "mythological Satoshi" narrative as implausible given how few programmers worked in this space at the time.
  • He highlights tether manipulation: the Panama Papers revealed tether and Bitfinex shared ownership, with fabricated tethers used to pump or crash Bitcoin prices. Despite this, regulators protected rather than prosecuted them—suggesting protected status.

Patrick warns that blockchain enables tokenisation of all physical assets—Larry Fink of BlackRock has stated desires to tag "everything in the world" with encrypted hashes. The system being built is "decentralised centralisation": private companies hold siloed data (medical, travel, financial) that can be queried through interoperable protocols, circumventing constitutional restrictions on direct government surveillance.

The Great Taking: Financial Asset Seizure

Patrick has published economic journal articles on "The Great Taking" from an Austrian business cycle perspective. His key findings:

  • Since the 1960s, brokers have used rehypothecation—lending the same securities as collateral repeatedly through derivatives trades.
  • With ~$30 trillion in stocks/bonds at DTCC/Euroclear, the derivatives complex may reach $2 quadrillion in notional exposure.
  • 1990s legal changes transformed ownership: investors hold only "securities entitlements" (contractual claims against brokers), not actual property rights. In a general collapse, secured creditors can seize assets from pooled collateral at central securities depositories—investors cannot sue these higher pools.
  • Bank for International Settlements documents describe this as a "death spiral" of margin calls and asset seizures.

Patrick argues this is the plumbing behind "you'll own nothing and be happy"—a engineered financial collapse could transfer all productive assets upward.

Vaccines and Fertility Warfare

Patrick describes his unfinished fertility documentary as "probably the most dangerous movie I've made because it's an active crime". Key evidence he presents:

  • Czech data scientist analysis of 19 million anonymize medical records: 30% fertility drop across Western Europe post-COVID vaccination, with vaccinated showing the decline while unvaccinated showed none.
  • Laboratory reports from Kenya: HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) found in tetanus shots; estrogens in polio vaccines; HCG found in 100% of HPV vaccines tested.
  • Mechanism: All 20 COVID vaccine manufacturers chose spike protein as target—unusual given typical variation. Spike protein shares cross-reactivity with placenta tissue, creating autoimmune response against pregnancy. Patrick calls this "a global vaccine against placentas".
  • Historical context: WHO tetanus campaigns in Kenya (2014) used HCG-bound tetanus toxoid to create temporary infertility (3–5 years) without women's knowledge. Similar accusations arose in Philippines, Nigeria, and other countries. A Kenyan Catholic doctor who investigated was later murdered.

Patrick emphasises this is not uniform sterilisation but multi-vector fertility suppression combining vaccines, food, water, propaganda, and economic pressure to make family formation unaffordable and undesirable.

War on Farmers and Food Control

Patrick's 48-minute film Nitrogen 2000 exposed fraudulent environmental arguments against Dutch farmers:

  • 70% of Dutch national territory is farmer-owned; the government sought to force-purchase 35% of the country, putting half of farmers out of business, with NGOs becoming "custodians" of state-owned land.
  • The official justification: cow dung produces nitrogen that grows nettles that shade 10 "protected" orchid species—common plants, not endangered. The minister behind the policy could not name these species when asked.
  • Patrick identifies land control as the real motive: 25% of Earth's surface is grazing land; removing farmers enables consolidation. He compares this to Stalin's dekulakisation—eliminating independent, self-reliant populations tied to land.

He notes synthetic food failures (Bill Gates' "Wonder Meat" reportedly bankrupt) yet continued capital flows, suggesting market capture rather than profitability as the goal.

World War III: Predictions and Messianic Dimensions

Patrick predicts escalating conflict through approximately 2032:

  • Current theatres: Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Iran will "meld and mix," spreading to Asia.
  • Russia-Ukraine: Patrick finds Russia's restraint suspicious—"it doesn't just take Kiev and kill Zelensky"—suggesting possible cooperation or managed conflict.
  • US-China war games: The Pentagon has lost every simulation against China in the last five years. Former French intelligence chief Alain Juillet noted all US missiles and planes require Taiwanese chips; destroying two buildings there would halt US weapons production entirely. Patrick calls this "a sabotage operation... we're getting set up to get creamed".

Most surprisingly, Patrick extensively documents messianic religious drivers:

  • Jewish prophecy of Gog and Magog: A world-consuming war of East vs. West, starting in Israel, where 90% of gentiles and two-thirds of Jews die, precipitating messianic rule. He notes Western leaders "supplicating" at Israel's feet after October 7, 2023, including German delegates being forced to prostrate themselves during "rocket alerts" at the airport—fulfilling prophecy's "kings of Gog... supplicate at the king of Israel's feet".
  • Active precipitation: Since the 1600s Sabbatean/Frankist influence, mainstream Jewish theology (per a Chabad legal scholar Patrick knew) holds that the messianic era should be actively precipitated rather than passively awaited. He argues Zionism and Judaism are not separable in this theological dimension [1:23].
  • Christian Zionist manipulation: The Scofield Bible and related movements bamboozled American evangelicals into supporting Israel as a means to bring Jesus' return—despite this being theological incoherence. He notes Pentagon complaints from soldiers told they were "fighting Iran to bring about Armageddon".

Survival Recommendations

Patrick's advice for navigating the coming period:

  • Mental health and human relationships as foundational
  • Physical gold and assets you can control
  • Physical share certificates for US securities (if possible)
  • Family, routines, and grounded community
  • Maintain situational awareness without fear: "If you understand what's going on, it's a lot easier to live through".

He concludes that Mexico offers relative preparation for the "Latin Americanisation" of Western living standards—his reason for residing there 15 years.
