Kontrarian Korner #42 - Veles

Yesterday I had Veles from RogueNews on the podcast, and it was a fascinating conversation. I listened to the whole thing a second time when I was editing it last night, and I am definitely looking forward to another conversation with Veles in the future. We talked about the realignment of the global economic and political system, why gold is flowing into the US again (just like it was before WWII), and some of the important technological trends to watch, from micro nuclear reactors to more efficient chips for artificial intelligence. You can find Veles on RogueNews on Rumble and YouTube.

Podcast Summary

* Zelensky’s disaster in the White House on Friday, and how he is just a puppet for other people behind the scenes.

* The competing factions of power around the world, the future of the EU, and why certain factions in Europe need the war in Ukraine.

* He lays out how a massive amount of money is being ripped out of the US federal government budget right now, and the connection to the urgent selling of real estate in the DC area.

* The importance of gold, and why a large amount of physical gold was moved out of Europe into the US before WWII.

* He lays out the reasons that gold is flowing into the US again today, and why the US is in the driver’s seat with our economy and political system, as the world starts to realign the economic and political system towards a multipolar world.

* Salted gold reserves in China, and why that set off alarms in other countries.

* The gold that is still on ships at the bottom of the ocean, and the disputes between different countries over it.

* What he sees for the US power grid, and why a decentralized grid is an advantage for the US.

* Why artificial intelligence is overhyped, and how power demand at the chip level could be reduced by 90-95% at the chip level by replacing floating point multiplication with integer addition.

* The potential benefits of micro nuclear reactors and the downstream effects that could have on the US grid, and how micro nuclear reactors could benefit Europe.

* Physical versus digital currency, and why he thinks we will eventually see a fully digital dollar.

* Book Recommendations: The Most Dangerous Book In The World: 9/11 As Mass Ritual by S.K. Bain & Lucifer’s Banker by Brad Birkenfeld.
