When it comes to building crises on fear, "covid" is only the most evolved scam.
Creating fear and uncertainty is the central weapon.
The artificial crisis in Ukraine, the summer riots of 2020, and the gradual decrease in food and energy production and distribution are current events assisting the plan in progress. I also venture to add the fake diseases that have been invented by the Rockefellerian pseudo-medicine and the "threats" of WW3 on TV and an "alien" attack. These days, young and previously-healthy adults can momentarily succumb to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). Or how about an EMP attack, either as a false flag or blamed on solar flares?
The result is always the same.
The gaslighting is maintained by the media, with cryptos as red herrings and the inevitable advancement of economic, monetary, and market collapse adding to the flavor. Race baiting, an occupying force of illegals, and extrajudicial edicts are also present, while global destruction of food and energy supplies with weaponized weather is also on the horizon.
This is a complex and well-planned operation; its engine is running on the free money central banks are using to finance it with the people's money, while making sure that the total collapse is on its way.
It is also logical to assume that gun confiscations will be postponed after the food riots, during which the people will do the favor of contributing to the depopulation agenda for a bowl of thin soup.
After that, it's the camps that have generous supplies of coffins and body bags, but no evacuation plans.
Large cities will sink into chaos rapidly and the looting will start, further aggravating the situation. Martial law will be imposed.
In rural areas, trucks will distribute food as a part of rationing. People who go there are often going to be taken to the camps, and people who don't, will be assumed to "hoard," so they will be robbed before being deported. Looters will carjack the same trucks and use them to lure people to the distribution of "free" food. A lot of people will possibly shoot first and ask questions later...
Human civilizations always self-destruct, but this time, the process has reached global levels. I am not saying much can be done to prevent the inescapable, but being a bit prepared might help.
Prepare for the Grand Solar Minimum.

I'm wondering how well they can maintain the control grid as the "controlled demolition" proceeds. It takes electricity, as you mentioned, communications (Sat phones probably more likely than Ham radio), and above all, enough expertise (actual skilled workers) to maintain the necessary infrastructure for the control grid. Saboteurs will come out of the weeds.
