The secret battle for the planet earth is entering a critical phase over the coming weeks, especially in the realm of finance, where an epic three-way battle is raging, multiple sources agree. In this battle, cryptocurrencies and the Chinese yuan are fighting each other, as well as fighting to replace the current privately-owned Western central bank petrodollar, Euro, and Japanese yen-based system.
In the biggest move, the gauntlet has been cast by the Chinese as they challenge the U.S. petrodollar, with the formal announcement of a March 26th start for gold-backed-yuan oil futures trading. Asian secret society sources say the Year of the Dog, which is just starting, usually brings volatility (in this case presumably in the financial markets) before things settle down into a new normal as the year progresses. This means the Chinese are ready for financial war once they return from their lunar new year¡¯s holiday this week and next.
This Chinese move against the petrodollar coincides with a Russian threat to withdraw from the Western-controlled SWIFT international payments system. A CIA source in Asia says he was informed by his Russian counterparts that if Russia starts trade without using the international SWIFT trading accounts and completely switches over to the Chinese Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), ¡°there will be at least a dozen other nations that make this switch within days.¡±

Meanwhile, a Canadian Secret Intelligence Service agent notes that ¡°Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of Russia is also the CEO of the Russian Federation, licensed to operate out of London. So if the order is given to move away from the SWIFT system, the U.S. dollar simply dies and we will see huge inflation.¡± What he means by this is that the London financial district, and by implication the 2.4 billion-member British Commonwealth, will join the Russians and Chinese in ditching the U.S. dollar.
There is also a big push to replace the petrodollar with a gold-backed cryptocurrency that could rival the Chinese yuan for influence, according to Russian, CIA, Pentagon, Japanese government, and other sources involved in this project, which we discuss in further detail below.
These developments are probably why senior members of the P2 Freemason lodge, the controllers of the existing dollar/euro/yen system, contacted the White Dragon Society (WDS) last week to sue for peace. There will be more about these discussions with the P2 below.
Also last week, former CIA agent and founder of the Marine Intelligence Division (the folks who recently raided CIA Headquarters) Robert David Steele showed up in Japan last week to meet with WDS members.
Remember, the top generals in the Trump regime, including Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford, were all Marine generals, so the timing of Steele¡¯s arrival in Japan can be no coincidence.
In Japan, Steele met with members of Asian secret societies, senior right-wing power brokers, members of the Japanese royal family, and others. The discussions focused on¡
