The Great Worldwide Blackout

With humankind quickly evolving throughout the years, so does our world’s technological advancement. Humankind is getting comfortable with the fact that technology is beginning to be a huge part of our daily lives. Some say technology is slowly taking over the human mind. That the mind itself is being trapped by the ease of our technological equipment. One frightening conspiracy theory that has been circulating for quite some time is The Great Worldwide Blackout. This “blackout” is a future event that conspiracy theorists hope to fail. It basically is a worldwide EMP (Electromagnetic pulse) targeting every bank on Earth. In details, this “blackout” targets and completely erases everyone’s bank account in the world except for the few in on the action. These few people are known as “the secret group”.

While the making of the physical metal coins and paper bills are slowly being replaced by virtual credits, theorists believe that some point there will not be any physical currency at all but instead it will all be digital. That right there is supposedly “the secret group” ‘s plot. To completely get rid of all coins and bills. The reason behind it all is to get everyone comfortable with virtual credits and to only rely on them.  That way it becomes a lot easier to completely erase everyone’s currency worldwide. With everyone using digital money, everyone is at risk at theft. Their main plan is somewhere in the near future (so theorists say) that everyone’s bank account information will be entirely erased. This will then cause global chaos, as everyone will turn poor. Slavery will occur, as the poor will work for the rich. ¹

Many people believe that this blackout will happen real soon as early signs have occurred in the past years. Small blackout had happened in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. These are said to be testings and signals of the Worldwide Blackout. ¹

To be honest, this does sound like a possible event that can happen in the future. We do rely a lot on technology to make purchase. Everything can now be done online or with credit cards. Physical currency is slowly fading right before our eyes. Although I do believe that if such an event were to happen, the trading market would greatly increase behind all the chaos. Hopefully, this event doesn’t occur.
