STAGE 6

Banking Is a Border

Stage 6 is the era where finance becomes a weapon, banking becomes a border, and your access to money is conditional on compliance with state power.

You think you own your money. You don't. You have permission to use it—until you don't. Property rights end where national security begins. The world has ~5 real countries. Most people don't live in one.

One-Liners

Banking is now a border.

Property rights end where national security begins.

In Stage 6, your money is permission.

You don't own assets. You rent access.

The world has 5 real countries. The rest just exist.

Sanctions are the new tanks.

Compliance is the new citizenship.
