As some may have seen my previous post showing off a document that was released by the Rockefeller Foundation.
In 2010, the Rockefeller Foundation released a study chronicling four simulations: "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.”
It was published in May 2010 in cooperation with the Global Business Network of futurologist Peter Schwartz. The report contains various futurist scenarios developed by Schwartz and company.
For convenience here is my previous post of the entire document for your reference, since I will be dissecting some information in it.

"Lockstep" is one of the four simulations in this document:
"The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers."
You can find more on page 18.
Although his simulations are not one hundred percent, there are many points in his summary that are spot-on, and that is a bit concerning.
But what the heck is The Rockefeller Foundation?
Well...
The Rockefeller Foundation was founded in 1913 as the primary philanthropic vehicle for the charity of Standard Oil billionaire John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1839-1937). Its projects over the past century have included funding medical research, supporting the “Green Revolution” of agricultural production innovation, and backing controversial population control movements. The Foundation Center reports that in 2014 the Rockefeller Foundation was the 16th largest U.S.-based foundation by total assets, with assets in that year of $4.24 billion. [1]
Rajiv Shah, the Rockefeller Foundation’s current president, is an alumnus of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) from the Obama administration. The organization’s former president, Judith Rodin, sought appointment to the President’s Council on Global Development during the Obama administration; she did not receive the appointment. Emails later reported on by Politico illustrated her closeness with Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation as she sought the appointment. [2]
Letter from Judith Rodin
In this document, there is a page, the first after the index, where Judith Rodin says
"One important — and novel — component of our strategy toolkit is scenario planning, a process of creating narratives about the future based on factors likely to affect
a particular set of challenges and opportunities."
Lockstep sounds a lot like lockdown, like a step taken in order to lock everybody down and lock everybody up.
