Excerpts from Chrissy Rieger's interview with the German author and financial expert Ernst Wolff on
the current global situation from October 19, 2025.
It's all about establishing a digital dictatorship.
1. the Gaza war and the establishment of a digital dictatorship.
Hello my dears, today we have Ernst Wolff as our guest.
Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you for the invitation. With pleasure.
And one of the most important issues right now is the war in Gaza.
Because it was ended by the angel of peace, Trump.
How do you see this whole situation?
Yes, this is the biggest smear theater we have seen in recent years, perhaps even in recent decades.
Because people are being led to believe in a reality that has nothing whatsoever to do with what is actually happening.
So there are people who have been living in concentration camp conditions for decades, who
have been maltreated in the worst possible way.
And now the alleged representatives of the different sides are talking to each other in
order to supposedly create a lasting peace.
That will not bring lasting peace.
There is also a plan for the future.
It looks like all the Palestinians will be expelled from the Gaza Strip and that it will be turned
into a luxury resort with Tony Blair as governor.
This is an incredibly disgusting and nauseating spectacle.
And you would never have imagined in the past that such a massacre could happen at all.
And that this massacre will not be stopped.
So the dying goes on.
So Israel attacked Lebanon once after the peace agreement, but then also killed individual people in Gaza.
It also has to be said that the information we receive is all filtered.
So we don't get any... We never know whether what we're told is true.
Because in the background there are the big networks and they filter everything out, because Donald Trump
is nothing other than the puppet of the IT complex.
And these people obviously have a vested interest in establishing a digital dictatorship there too.
So basically, everywhere in the world - in Ukraine, in the Gaza Strip, in China, everywhere in Russia - it's
all about one thing: establishing a digital dictatorship.
It was also said that Hamas must continue to be demilitarized.
And the Israeli government also posted a message immediately after all the peace initiatives.
And then it was also said, well, we still have to keep attacking the tunnel systems and all that.
Because how do you want to demilitarize?
So apart from trying to take it away and...
For me, the whole thing is just a big theater, in which a pretext is provided to resume the war.
And then even expand it.
So I am sure that we are not seeing peace, but that this is the prelude to a larger war.
And that the war against Iran will then actually be unleashed.
Because the real decision-makers are not Donald Trump or Scott Besant or Mr. Hagseth, his Secretary of War, but the
real decision-makers are on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley.
And they are making an incredible amount of money from the arms industry at the moment.
And they are in the process of tearing down our entire global social, political and economic system
in order to replace it with a digital dictatorship.
2. the Russian-Ukrainian war - Putin, Trump and the establishment of a digital dictatorship
And that is also very interesting on the part of Russia.
Because I think there's always a lot of talk, like boah, that was a provocation, well wait, there'll be trouble.
But not much actually follows.
And even with the tomahawks, no matter how Trump talks his way out of it, I'll talk to Putin about it too.
So actually that would be me now, I would say, Lord, what do you want to talk to me about?
Of course you don't deliver them, you stay out of it and we sort it out, really we do, or you join in, but what's the point now?
But instead Putin says that doesn't change anything on the battlefield.
Just like you said, these are long-range weapons systems that can invade my country.
No problem, we're not going to respond to that now.
What are you doing?
You can see that the whole thing is a set-up between the supposedly powerful people of the world.
So you always have to assume that the politicians of our time are puppets of the forces behind them.
And these forces in the background are currently establishing a digital dictatorship worldwide.
Mr. Putin is responsible for this in Russia.
He does this by staging himself as a warlord and pointing to external enemies in order to
establish a dictatorship within the country.
About the digital ruble, about biometric recognition.
Mr. Trump is doing the same.
So in the background are the big IT companies.
The CEOs are rubbing their hands together with their financial partners.
These are the big asset managers of our time, they are also rubbing their hands.
There's an incredible amount of skimming going on at the moment.
And what's really interesting is that the whole thing is also a huge distraction from the
collapse of the American financial system, for example.
It's in an absolutely horrible state at the moment.
And we are now actually experiencing what I predicted a few years ago, that the regional banks are slowly running out of steam.
So we have several regional banks in the USA that will soon have to file for bankruptcy.
We also have this one big car case lender that has filed for bankruptcy.
In this way, the middle class is slowly being wiped out and power is shifting even more to the very large corporations.
And of course people need to be distracted from that.
And SMEs are noticing this.
The middle class is losing more and more of its quality of life.
And that's why you have to present it with external enemies.
And direct people's anger at others and not at those who cause their misery.
We see the same thing in Europe.
In France, for example, they always say that when France sneezes, Europe gets the sniffles.
And that's what we're seeing right now.
In other words, the background or these issues are not being talked about as much as these great fears and panic.
And someone is coming.
And what I also wanted to say about Putin, for example.
He was actually annoyed that Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize and that something was definitely going wrong.
And then you think to yourself, yes, but he's supplying the mega-weapons in your war.
This is the absolute height of ridiculousness.
Putin was in Tatjikistan, in Dushanbe, I think, the capital of Tatjikistan.
He met with Central Asian leaders and was seriously outraged that Donald Trump was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
So there's no clearer way to show that these people are really all in cahoots and playing into each other's hands.
Really absurd.
I also wanted to talk about the war in Ukraine.
The fact is that the West is constantly supplying weapons and all these things.
And wouldn't Russia have or couldn't Russia also destroy these paths?
So this critical or this infrastructure that you can no longer guarantee supplies?
Yes, of course.
The war could have been over long ago.
So Russia, this is a David versus Goliath battle.
And so the war could have been over after three weeks, or perhaps even after a week.
But the war also benefits Mr. Putin, of course, because it distracts from what his real agenda is.
So we also have pretty severe inflation in Russia.
And inflation is always very damaging for politicians, which of course makes them even more compliant than they already are.
And this is how you get Mr. Putin to pursue exactly the same agenda as Donald Trump.
Or like Mr. Milley or Mr. Macron or Mr. Starmer or, in our case, Mr. Merz.
The bad thing is that the wars or, as you said, the injustices, nothing is being done about them.
People tend to donate to climate projects and things that aren't actually implemented anyway.
And instead of really saying, okay, let's just end the conflicts or let's work to ensure that there
is no war to flee or that there is no injustice.
But that doesn't really matter, because that's what it's supposed to be.
Yes, you only have to look at arms spending, which is exploding at the moment.
Worldwide, we have never before, never before has so much money flowed into armaments as at the moment.
And in some countries, armaments are increasing dramatically.
So in the USA, armaments are also more advanced, but in Russia the percentage is almost three times as high as in the USA.
So the arms companies are everywhere, making incredible amounts of money.
And we must never forget that behind the arms companies today are the big digital companies and the big asset managers.
3. digitalization and AI and the establishment of a digital dictatorship
We now come to the last thematic block, namely digitalization and the presence of AI.
After all, that's what Klaus Schwab has been saying ever since the pandemic with his booklet and so on.
There is no more normal, everything is different.
The fourth industrial revolution, so to speak, is also in full swing.
And there is also this year.
2030, which is also mentioned time and again.
And yes, and how far and what is already possible with AI?
Yes, it happened much faster than even the experts had predicted.
I just saw an interview with Ray Kurzweil, the EMA, one of the leading AI developers.
And he said that we have progressed six years faster than he ever expected.
And it has to be said that by the end of this year, AI will be more intelligent than Albert Einstein for the first time.
It had an IQ of 160 and the AI will surpass that by the end of this year.
And at the same time, it is developing at a pace that we have never seen before.
So knowledge doubles in three to four months.
And that is simply unimaginable.
And that will of course have a very, very big impact on our lives.
So it's interesting that biometric recognition is now being driven forward in a really big way.
We had this case in Vietnam, where 86 million accounts were suddenly blocked because
people did not have biometric identification.
I did a bit of further research.
So it's not just about Vietnam.
Thailand was there before.
Then Tibet has also been added in the meantime.
And then, interestingly enough, I discovered that Mexico has already reached that stage.
So in Mexico you also have to have biometric identification in order to open an account there.
So I don't know now whether it's biometric or whether it's via a code.
But it all goes in the same direction.
So we are to be monitored 100 percent and we are on the way to a digital dictatorship.
And the fact that the entire economic system is currently collapsing and can no longer be saved can also
be seen in the prices of precious metals, for example.
So we are suddenly experiencing an upward rush in gold and silver.
And that has to do with the fact that the uncertainty at the moment is gigantic and that those who are familiar
with the system know very well that this system is dying.
So in a year or two we will be living under completely chaotic conditions.
There are no ifs and buts.
We are witnessing in real time how our system is really collapsing like a house of cards at every turn.
I see it the same way you do, with the fact that there are no better times now, but that everything is about to get really bad.
Because you can also see that the digital currency and the digital idea have not yet been introduced.
That means it has to really boil over now and then you can introduce it and then we
can talk about how it will get better again.
The great danger is that we have to expect some major event like this to be used as an excuse for us to somehow experience
a major cybercrash or possibly a major expansion of war.
Perhaps this is being prepared in the Middle East at the Gaza peace conferences.
Who knows, so anything is possible.
Of course, it is also possible that a huge wave of insolvencies will lead to us having a huge army of unemployed people and that
in this way we will then say that we can no longer get any further with the previous citizens' income, for example,
and that we must now introduce the universal basic income.
So I think that at the moment the think tanks are really thinking about how the whole thing can be turned around so that it
can be presented to people as something positive under the absolutely terrible conditions in which we are currently living.
Do you think they're spontaneous and like, oh, we'll do that now?
Or do you think it's shot like this from start to finish and that's exactly how it happens?
Because I think you also have to say that people are very predictable.
Yes, yes, that's the case. So many people still believe in the democracy we live in.
This has not been the case for decades.
So people are steered in one direction or the other.
There are no more elections, free decisions or anything like that, because people can no longer decide
freely because they are so drugged up with propaganda.
And then it's like that, that's still the case, I mean, most or very few people research further than page 1 of Google anyway.
But now they've made it even better by making these chatbots so that you can really just, and I heard this the
other day, Gemini told me, I don't know, this is so and so.
And now I know what it's like.
So that means that now you also have this implemented like a friend at your side who always tells you the right
information, because he is completely neutral and so on.
Yes, it is very, very frightening.
I also get a lot of comments saying that I've just spoken to Grock or I've just spoken to, I don't
know, some other chatbot and he told me this and that.
So people are now completely uncritical.
They don't even understand what's behind it.
So these chatbots were not created to provide people with information, but the exact opposite is the case.
They are supposed to collect information from people.
They register every single question from everyone who contacts them and create a profile of that person.
And this profile is then traded in the background and these people are then given certain advertisements, for example, and given
certain content so that someone else can earn money from it.
So that's unimaginable, but it's exactly the opposite of what people think they're being offered.
But especially now, in all this isolation, where you're actually becoming more alienated from other people,
it's quite fitting that you build up a new relationship, so to speak, when it's with an AI.
Yes, yes, quite terrible.
So Elon Musk has said that he presented his digital, his humanoid robot, that he imagines that in a few years everyone
will have their best friend and this best friend will be a humanoid robot, probably with an implemented chatbox.
So it's just a horrible future that we're being driven into at the moment.
And you simply have to free yourself from it.
So you have to realize that it's a really bad time, that we're living in a very, very dark time, dark like
the Middle Ages, but on a very high technological level.
There are ways, there would be ways to improve the world in unimaginable ways.
If we were to take away all the military spending, stop armaments worldwide and instead build hospitals, kindergartens and schools
and ensure that there is a proper healthcare system all over the world, then the world would be an
incredibly more beautiful place than it has always been.
But unfortunately, we are currently heading in exactly the opposite direction.
And we can see right now that we are also using the digital world.
We talk to each other without being right next to each other.
And there are also advantages.
But what would you say, how do you protect yourself or how can you protect yourself from digitalization and
that's just the way it is, all this data collection and so on.
What would you say is the best way to protect yourself?
You have to go out there.
You have to get out of the whole thing.
I recently told you about it in an interview.
I'm usually the kind of person who likes to go for long walks, into the forest for two hours or so.
And the other day I forced myself and thought, well, I'll just give it a try.
I walk through the forest for five hours.
And I have to say, after the third or fourth lesson, something happened inside me that I didn't even recognize.
I have really become much calmer inside.
So you just have to take your time.
That is the important thing.
We are in a machine, in a hamster wheel, in which we are bombarded with propaganda.
After every piece of information, because it contradicts the previous one so much, you always want to have the
next one in order to perhaps somehow get more clarity.
You just have to say to yourself, I'm not going to get this clarity.
I can only get this clarity if I take a step back from all of this and try to find my inner center again.
So I think it's very important in these times to switch off all digital devices, especially the digital devices
for children, and to remember a life before the digital age and then perhaps do both at the same time.
You don't have to demonize everything.
If used well, artificial intelligence could make our lives unimaginably better.
But at the moment it is stupidly in the hands of absolute criminals, who in turn are
working with absolute criminals in politics.
And that is of course fatal.
Something has to be changed in the future.
And we can't do that at the moment.
We have to reckon with the CBDC coming, for example.
We have to expect biometric recognition to come.
But we must also expect that there will be resistance and that we will live in a time of huge social upheaval.
And in these social upheavals, in emergency situations, people have always found the best solutions in the past.
So the greatest inventions were not made in good times, but always in bad times.
And that, of course, is a prospect worth fighting for.
