Jeremy Kuzmarov: Oligarchy is Creating a Truly Dystopian Social Order

Jeremy Kuzmarov of CovertAction Magazine discusses the assassination of MLK Jr by the U.S. Government, the looming threat of world war, and the possibility of Bucha being a false flag attack. There is legitimate criticism of Russia, but the U.S. provoked the situation, wanting to give Russia it's own Vietnam, again. We're seeing a major power shift that may result in the weakening of the West and the growing strength of the East with China as the big winner. As American Exceptionalism slips away, we could see apocalyptic violence (e.g. nuclear war). He discusses the National Security State and how Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are CIA assets. He touches on the growing authoritarianism we see in the form of censorship and possible government instigation of Capitol riots. This type of strategy of tension allows the government to pass draconian legislation.

Willem Engel: We Must Embody the Values of Love, Truth, & Freedom

Dutch activist Willem Engel has proven to be such a thorn in the side of the government that they have arrested him twice in a week. He's been pushing hard against tyranny, mandates, and the illegitimate Covid restrictions. He's awaiting trial for "sedition" but is optimistic that he will win because the allegation is so outlandish. The WEF directly instructs ministers, but the layer behind it is even more sinister. The consultancy firms (e.g. McKinsey, Accenture) is where the power is. They write the laws and the civil servants implement them. He thinks things will get worse and we'll go into lockdown again in the autumn. Social media and intelligence agencies are very intertwined so we have to be smart about how we use it. It's important to take care of yourself, love your family, form communities, and couple these communities. We need to embody the values of love, truth, and freedom which can go viral.

The focus of the proceedings is on the unlawfulness of the integrated approach, in which the cooperating authorities structurally set aside legislation and regulations and violate civil rights. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

C.J. Hopkins: GloboCap is Clearing & Holding, Rooting Out Resistance, Implementing New Program

C.J. Hopkins gives us an update on COVID1984 from New Normal Germany and a recap of GloboCap as he understands it after 2+ years of medical tyranny. What GloboCap is doing now is "clearing and holding" or identifying all  sources of global insurgency and resistance to its global occupation and wiping them out in order to implement its new program. Regarding the debate on Putin and the WEF, he says it's not a Marvel comic book and that we're dealing with a much more complicated constellation of power dynamics, even though Russia and China are integrated with global capitalism. We discuss Covid fatigue and the increasing global persecution against "COVID deniers", "Russian agents", and dissidents. Even though the Covidian Cult is dissolving, the New Normal has been cemented into society and it isn't going away, reality is being revised. He believes the digital pass systems will be imposed on us. He stresses the importance of resisting and also thinks bugging out isn't a bad idea.

Dan Kovalik: Ukraine Invasion Marks Dramatic Beginning of Multipolar World

Dan Kovalik sees a shift away from the United States and the West, and a shift toward the East, primarily Russia and China. The Ukraine invasion marks the dramatic beginning of the Multipolar World. Moscow clearly saw the U.S. was intent on destroying Russia (e.g. RAND whitepapers). The media today are war-time propagandists and those who question the narrative are cancelled and lose their jobs. The U.S. Empire is collapsing and sanctions are speeding that up. Latin America is defying Uncle Sam and telling the U.S. to go pound salt, meanwhile looking for development assistance from China.

Hügo Krüger: COVID19 Fraud Uses the Same HIV/AIDS Playbook, The Cure is the Disease

South African civil and nuclear engineer Hügo Krüger discusses the HIV/AIDS fraud and how the COVID19 fraud is carried out using essentially the same playbook. People were tested for HIV using fraudulent false-positive testing, given toxic drugs such as AZT, and then many of them ended up dying from the drug which was then mislabeled as an epidemic. During the AIDS situation in the 1980s Fauci blocked a simple, safe, and effective drug called Bactrim, just like Ivermectin today has been blocked. COVID19 is the flu re-branded. Hügo believes the capabilities of so-called biological weapons is greatly exaggerated and is greatly skeptical of bioweapons claims, including in Ukraine. The bioweapon is AZT and the COVID vaccine. He's interested in how the AIDS and COVID stories have been used for regime change and discusses the CIA-AIDS connection. As a civil engineer, he is skeptical the Social Credit Digital Passport system they are attempting to bring in through the backdoor as a Covid Pass will ultimately be workable.

Isa Blumi: Yemen Is Holding Its Own Against The Empire

Scholar Isa Blumi returns to refresh our memories on what the war on Yemen is all about, his view on the current state of the conflict which has now passed the seven year mark, and how the Yemenis are holding their own against the empire. The West and GCC countries are bleeding money in this conflict which may lead to the collapse of a number of Gulf countries.

Gail Tverberg: Energy Limits Could Be Pushing Us Toward End Times

Actuary and researcher Gail Tverberg discusses our energy problems and how we have an ever-growing population coupled with resources which are more and more difficult to extract. She believes "limits to growth" is a better way of looking at this problem as opposed to EROI. At some point the system binds up and that's what we're running into right now. The corona shut downs may have been an excuse to shut things down due to the collapsing economy and energy situation. Such a decline in a historical cycle brings revolution, disease, and famine. She worries about semiconductors and the world economy breaking into different pieces. Pax Americana can't last forever and several countries are now getting together to take care of themselves. She has a hard time finding electricity sustainable, let alone cryptocurrencies. She doesn't think far-flung wars are sustainable. Things are good as they're going to be.

She is a researcher focused on figuring out how energy limits and the economy are really interconnected, and what this means for our future. Her background is as a casualty actuary, working in insurance forecasting. Gail first became aware of oil shortages, and the impact they could have on insurance companies, back in the 1973 – 1974 period, when oil limits were first a problem. In 2005, she began reading books on the subject, including Jeremy Leggett’s The Empty Tank. Gail did further research about the situation, and wrote her first article about the potential impact on the property-casualty insurance industry in early 2006. In March 2007, Gail decided to research the issue of limits of a finite world on a full-time basis, leaving her career in insurance consulting. She began OurFiniteWorld.com in 2007, but temporarily changed her writing base to TheOilDrum.com between mid-2007 and 2010, where she was a writer and editor. Since late 2010, her blog posts have been published on OurFiniteWorld.com. These posts are widely republished under Gail’s Creative Commons license; many posts are translated into other languages and republished. Besides blog posts, Gail is the author of a number of academic papers. The most widely cited is, “Oil Supply Limits and the Continuing Financial Crisis.” Another academic paper of interest is, “An Oil Production Forecast for China Considering Economic Limits,” published in 2016. Section 2 of this paper discusses the possibility that the limit on oil extraction may be a financial limit: prices cannot rise high enough. A longer list of academic papers and papers for insurance audiences is given on the sidebar. Gail also speaks to many groups regarding her views on energy limits and the economy. She has spoken in many countries around the world, including Italy, Spain, China, and India. She has spoken to academic groups, actuarial groups, “Peak Oil” groups, and more general groups, such as religious groups and graduate students. In early 2015, she taught a course at China University of Petroleum in Beijing on...

Anton Chaitkin: The United States is in a Death Struggle with the Anglo-American Establishment

Anton Chaitkin discusses the core issues at stake in America today which center on the age old struggle between the progressive nationalist outlook and Anglo-American imperialists. Without understanding this, you can't understand global affairs. The imperialists say nations and peoples should not have the power to rise up and become powerful countries using science and commanding nature. The early Americans built and industrialized, FDR and JFK fought against the imperial system. The empire wants forever wars and to take us back to feudalism through de-industrialization. Unless the U.S. returns to its roots, we'll have WWIII.

In the early 1930s, his father, Jacob Chaitkin, a pro-Franklin Roosevelt lawyer, had blocked some of the Wall Street financial arrangements with Hitler, and was legal counsel for the American Jewish Congress boycott against Germany. Anton grew up committed to justice, with a strong sense of the realities of power politics. About two years after the JFK assassination, Chaitkin heard from Lyndon LaRouche that financiers were shifting American strategy away from industrial progress, toward cheap labor, foreshadowing fascist policies and systemic collapse. An association was formed, to defeat those who had brutalized contemporary thought in science, economics, the arts and philosophy. Chaitkin began a systematic inquiry into American history, finding that the mental map of former leaders was far more profound and more pro-human than anything available in the post-JFK era. He has done sharply original work in American history, in hundreds of articles and in two books, Treason in America, from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman -- a 600-page unveiling of the Eastern Establishment as the tory-British-racist-imperialist faction -- and George Bush, the Unauthorized Biography. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

Joaquin Flores: We Give Davos More Credit Than It Deserves, Great Reset is Failing

Joaquin Flores discusses the Great Reset, how people live in different internets or 'confirmation bias chambers', the 'Gargoyle Effect', and Marxian analysis. He believes the Great Rest is failing and that many people give more credit than is due to Davos by making them seem more powerful than they really are. Given that people like Klaus Schwab are liars, just because Schwab portends to have penetrated all governments does not make it so. He discusses the concept of empire, sea and land power, the Ukraine crisis, and how it's largely about energy. He sees roughly five blocs emerging in a multipolar world.

Brandon Weichert: Russia Seeks Civilizational State…This is Putin’s Go-For-Broke Moment

Brandon Weichert discusses Ukraine and how Russia desires to be its own civilizational state or empire (as opposed to being under Western hegemony). Because of demographics, Moscow doesn't have much time so Putin is plugging the strategic gaps on his western border now. He believes the threat of escalation is greater now than during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He discusses the unconventional and asymmetric threats of cyber and space warfare….the 'shadow war'. We are not reading the Russian signals very well, they are less afraid of unintended consequences. For Putin, this is his go-for-broke Peter the Great moment. We discuss the decline of the dollar's status as world reserve, how other countries have seen the writing on the wall, and how the nightmare scenario of an Eurasian axis has come to be. He also discusses his forthcoming book on Iran's quest for supremacy.
