Geopolitics & Empire

Alex Krainer discusses how Afghanistan signals the American Empire's loss of hegemony over Mackinder's "World Island" and everywhere else (e.g. Ukraine, Syria, Iraq), the game is up. He believes that Beijing had initially been propped up by Western elites, but given the recent turn against China by George Soros and Co., the CCP mislead and is now abandoning the global elites. They have not forgotten the Century of Humiliation. The economic fallout of U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan could mean equity and bond bubbles bursting, upward pressure on commodity prices, and high rates of inflation in the American financial system. He believes the dollar world reserve status can shrink rapidly in the coming years. He discusses his recent accurate Bitcoin price prediction and why precious metals and commodities are poised for an explosive rally. Regarding COVID1984 and the Great Reset, he's optimistic in that Davos, like Icarus, is flying too close to the sun and ultimately will fail.

Alex was born and raised in a socialist regime of former Yugoslavia, under one-party communist rule. As a 17-year old he joined a student exchange program and spent a year in California. Extending his stay, he took up his university studies there, ultimately transferring to Switzerland where he completed a degree in Business and Economics. From Switzerland his path led him to Venezuela where he lived for a year and experienced his first banking crisis when 9 of Venezuela’s 16 largest banks failed and brought the country’s economy to a grinding halt. With his plans and endeavours thwarted, he returned to Croatia and joined the military where he served through 1995 during the last phases of Croatia’s war of independence. Soon after finishing his military service, Alex took employment at an oil trading company in Monaco. By the year 2000 he became the firm’s risk manager and originated the firm’s research and development program in market analysis and application of neural networks and artificial intelligence in trading of financial and commodities markets. By 2007 Alex launched his own investment management business and was among the small minority of managers who generated positive investment returns (+27%) through the 2008 financial crisis. Over the following six years, his fund outperformed the Dow Jones Credit Suisse index of Blue Chip commodities trading funds. This opened the door into the big league asset managers and in 2011 Alex Joined Lee Robinson’s Altana Wealth with the mandate of managing the firm’s inflation hedging strategy. In more recent years, Alex also busied himself as an author. In 2015 he published his first book titled, “Mastering Uncertainty in Commodities Trading.” Having discovered a passion for writing and stumbling upon the story of Bill Browder and the Magnitsky Act, Alex wrote his second book,

IR scholar Artyom Lukin talks about Climate Change in Russia and how the decline of American hegemony has become a moot point as the real question is what will replace it. He believes we are entering a prolonged period of US-China bipolarity with Russia as a second tier power, and the potential for a multipolar world down the road. The difficulty in analyzing Beijing is that China is completely non-transparent to outside observers, a "black box". No one, including the Russians, really understands what China wants. He also discusses why he and others think the world has entered an era of isolationism, closed borders, and restricted travel triggered by the geopolitics of intensifying great-power rivalry. He also gives his thoughts on Vladimir Putin, North Korea, and what the near-future portends for the United States (e.g. civil war?).

EvoCapital CEO, macro specialist, and geopolitics commentator Nicholas Glinsman covers the waterfront. He touches on Latin America and how it's sold itself to China, vaccine logistics, how the vaccine passport is the social credit system, and how he thinks governments may not let go of the emergency public health powers they've awarded themselves. He gives his thoughts on the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, CBDCs, and how the U.S. could maintain its financial weapon of mass destruction (dollar as world reserve). He discusses the Biden administration, Biden's propensity to "f-things up" (according to Obama), the Afghan debacle, and the midterm elections. He looks at whether the Fed will do QT or QE, and the road to Japanification, stagflation, and hyperinflation. He also comments on the Taiwan situation and how the rise of China has been overhyped.

Highly-respected researcher, writer, and speaker on Africa Lawrence Freeman discusses how a financial-political elite or oligarchy see the continent for its material resources and financial gain and attempt to exploit African nations through international finance, using divide and conquer and war and chaos to keep nations weak. It's hard to say that Africa has any sovereign nations and that at best, some only have partial sovereignty. He considers manufacturing and infrastructure the key components in ensuring a nation's prosperity, precisely what has been denied Africa. The lack of electricity, high-speed rail, and hospitals in Africa is killing people. He covers the Belt & Road in Africa and how China is building infrastructure, but it is not enough. He describes how elites destroyed Libya and how the same group is attempting to do the same to Ethiopia. He discusses how Ethiopians have a different mindset and they are being attacked for having the leading development policies in Africa today (e.g. GERD, rail). He comments on the West's use of rebels, opposition groups, and extremists to overthrow sovereign nations, led by what he calls "Liberal Democracy Dictatorship". Finally, he discusses the attempt to break down barriers in Africa and create a common market approach through initiatives such as a common currency.

Behavioral scientist and former Cambridge Analytica Lead Psychologist Patrick Fagan discusses his grave fears surrounding the so-called "vaccine passports" being emitted by governments around the world (e.g. EU "Digital Covid Certificate", Israel's "Green Pass"), which he says could lead to years of oppression. He examines the manipulation of the public by governments over the past year. He comments on whether the digital passport is essentially the Chinese-style "Social Credit System" and how all of these threads of total tracking and data collection are coming together to allow the state to become omniscient and omnipotent.

Matthew Ehret discusses his new book "Clash of the Two Americas: Unfinished Symphony (1776-1901)" and how the struggles facing the U.S. republic/empire today are nothing new. The same British imperial, oligarchic, and (proto) deep state interests were present from the start of the American/French revolutions and founding of Canada. He describes how the republican nationalist tradition was the first time in history a system of government was formed with the possibility of being wielded against global empire. Finally, he explains how the new imperial grand strategy has become neo-Malthusian and eugenicist (e.g. "limits to growth") with the purpose of creating a new global feudal order and gives his thoughts on where we are in the Great Reset and why he's optimistic.

He gives his global macro geopolitical view on the New Cold War struggle between the East (e.g. Russia, China) and West (e.g. US, EU). He sees China as surpassing the US and the end of generations of Western hegemony. He breaks down how the US uses Color Revolutions or "democracy promotion" as outright regime change and looks at what's happening in Myanmar as an example. He believes the West is attempting to recreate the Arab Spring in Asia (e.g. Thailand, Malaysia). Finally, he looks at China's Belt & Road going forward and the move toward multipolarity.

Gordon Hahn discusses what he calls the New East-West Cold War or Russia-West Tinderbox, which can potentially escalate into a WWIII scenario. He examines the key drivers between the Russia-West divide which is primarily EU/NATO expansion (e.g. Belarus, Ukraine, Donbass), a situation that will continue to fester and could explode at any moment unless it is resolved. He comments on China's rise as a global hegemon and believes Russia and China will make Afghan inroads as the U.S. withdraws and the Taliban likely come to power. Finally, he looks at the "authoritarian-ization" or "Putin-ization" of America, where neo-liberals, leftists, and big tech have melded with the military-industrial-complex and oligarchic globalists who are pushing the U.S. toward a one-party state. Beyond that, these forces are pushing for some form of transnational or world government.
