Geopolitics & Empire

Marc Faber discusses the "Great Reset", the failure of democracy, and the central bank bubble economy. He looks at the merits of capitalism, the failures of socialism, and the rise of China. Peering into the future of U.S. empire, a Soviet-style collapse is possible and the dollar will lose its reserve status, but the geopolitical danger point comes when the stimulus effects wear off and Washington may consider escalating tensions with Eurasia including through the use of false flag operations as is typically done throughout history. He ponders whether it is even worth starting a revolution against the ongoing tyranny considering the culture is so far gone, and whether simply getting out of dodge might be a better option, before touching on a few guiding principles on how to prepare for a darker future. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/geopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Website https://www.gloomboomdoom.com About Marc Faber Dr Marc Faber was born in Zurich, Switzerland.

Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter discusses US foreign policy, the decline of US empire, and the shift toward a multipolar world. He considers the Biden administration to be one of the most dangerous in modern times as it has gone back to square one (the post-WWII era), demanding American allies and the world subordinate themselves to Washington. He looks at the rise of Iran, the failed Forever Wars in the Middle East which have destroyed the American economy and military, and considers NATO a joke of an organization no longer capable of fighting a war. The U.S is unable to catch up to China's economic infrastructure investments and the consequences of continued hegemonic behavior and failed diplomacy could translate into escalation of military conflict with Russia or China and ultimately risk the use of nuclear weapons. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/geopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Websites RT Op-Eds https://www.rt.com/op-ed/authors/scott-ritter Twitter https://www.twitter.com/RealScottRitter Books Clarity Press https://www.claritypress.com/book-author/scott-ritter Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Scott-Ritter/e/B001HO9B80 About Scott Ritter Scott Ritter is a former Marine intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union, implementing arms control agreements, and on the staff of General Norman Schwartzkopf during the Gulf War, where he played a critical role in the hunt for Iraqi SCUD missiles.

Gregory Copley discusses the "trigger of the fear pandemic" which has initiated an all-out and amorphous total war between the U.S., China, and the rest of the world. He explains how the historical cycle is now coming to a close, where we've reached peak wealth and demographics. We have entered an era characterized by the death or end of democracy and the Westphalian nation-state model. He sees the possible re-emergence of the British Empire in CANZUK, a disintegrating EU, and a flailing attempt by Erdogan to create a Neo-Ottoman Empire as we enter a time of global fluctuation and possibly a new age of empires. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/geopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Websites Strategic Studies https://strategicstudies.org Art of Victory http://artofvictory.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-international-strategic-studies-association Defense & Foreign Affairs https://www.dfaonline.net Books The New Total War in the 21st Century and the Trigger of the Fear Pandemic https://strategicstudies.org/ISSA%20Store.htm#!/The-New-Total-War-of-the-21st-Century-PDF-ebook/p/206749218/category=0 Sovereignty in the 21st Century and the Crisis for Identity, Cultures, Nation-States, and Civilizations https://strategicstudies.org/ISSA%20Store.htm#!/Sovereignty-in-the-21st-Century/p/199304045/category=0 About Gregory Copley Historian, industrialist, philosopher, author and strategic analyst Gregory R.

Geopolitics & Empire · Mark Sircus: COVID Medical Terrorism, Global Cooling, & The Great Reset #190 Dr. Mark Sircus discusses how the health responses to COVID-19 by authorities such as the CDC, WHO, Big Pharma, and national governments have amounted to medical terrorism. He discusses simple and affordable treatments and talks about the dangers of the COVID "vaccine". He reveals his fears of the nightmare scenario the whole human race is going into as the lies surrounding the pandemic have accelerated the collapse of the economy and we are pushed into "The Great Reset" or "Fourth Reich"...a dystopia he has been predicting for 20 years. He also begs the question if it is cold enough yet to destroy the global warming narrative as multiple temperature records are now being broken all across the planet.

Scientist Denis Rancourt says there effectually is no pandemic as all-cause mortality in 2020 has not been different from that of the last decade. Excess deaths we are seeing now are caused by government policies and measures such as lockdowns, psychological terror campaigns, and erroneous hospital protocols and medical treatments. He delves into his 2019 report on geoeconomics and geopolitics which eerily foreshadowed the "pandemic" situation and explains what is REALLY going on. He points out that all of a sudden in 2000 we witnessed the contrived media explosion of the theory of "global warming", which is nothing more than a ruse and pretext for the elite to switch to a technocratic carbon economy. The "pandemic" has served as a further pretext for the declining Western or U.S. empire to attempt to accelerate globalization and its global domination via "The Great Reset" (technocratic carbon economy). The highest-level pressure and problem has become the two independent sovereign blocs of Eurasia, Russia and China. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Show Notes GEO-ECONOMICS & GEO-POLITICS DRIVE SUCCESSIVE ERAS OF PREDATORY GLOBALIZATION https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332182416_GEO-ECONOMICS_AND_GEO-POLITICS_DRIVE_SUCCESSIVE_ERAS_OF_PREDATORY_GLOBALIZATION_AND_SOCIAL_ENGINEERING_Historical_emergence_of_climate_change_gender_equity_and_anti-racism_as_State_doctrines Websites Twitter https://www.twitter.com/denisrancourt Ontario Civil Liberties Assocation https://ocla.ca/about/executive-members Denis Rancourt @ ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/profile/D_Rancourt Activist Teacher https://activistteacher.blogspot.com Telegram https://t.me/drdenies About Denis Rancourt Denis G.

Italian architect, lecturer, film producer, and man of many hats Robin Monotti discusses the biopolitics and biosecurity implications of COVID19 and The Great Reset, something which has been pointed out by a number of thinkers, including Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. Monotti refers to Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism" (Eternal Fascism) on how fascism or totalitarianism is not a thing of the past, but an evil that is present in every generation and which must be identified, recognized, and fought back against. He examines whether there are such underlying themes and dangers hidden within the Davos crowd's "Great Reset". *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Show Notes Giorgio Agamben https://www.quodlibet.it/catalogo/autore/272/giorgio-agamben Umberto Eco Makes a List of 14 Common Features of Fascism https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html Websites Website http://www.robinmonotti.com No Place Without Spirit https://nulluslocussinegenio.com Twitter https://www.twitter.com/robinmonotti Telegram https://t.me/robinmg Gab https://gab.com/robinmonotti About Robin Monotti Robin Monotti Graziadei is a London based architect (Yacht House, Tbilisi Spiral Tower), designer (Watering Holes), architectural, urban, film & cultural theorist (writings available on this site and in international journals listed below) and commentator, published translator (Curzio Malaparte, Woman Like Me), former University lecturer (London Metropolitan University & University of Greenwich) and current film producer (The Book of Vision, produced with Terrence Malick) who was born in Rome, where he began his career by working with Professor Vittorio De Feo on projects which included the new Italian Embassy in Berlin. Work that Robin completed for De Feo is now held in the collection of the MAXXI Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome, some of it having already been restored. Robin obtained a distinction in the MA in Histories and Theories of Architecture from the Architectural Association in London where he studied the relationship of space to psychoanalysis with Mark Cousins, space and politics with Paul Hirst, and space and culture with Robert Maxwell, former Dean at Princeton. He worked in Milan with Gino Valle and Ennio Brion, client of Carlo Scarpa’s Brion cemetery, on the Nuovo Portello urban regeneration plan. Robin taught a postgraduate Diploma Unit with Rik Nys from David Chipperfield Architects at London Metropolitan University between 2001-2007, and within this period also taught a Degree Unit at Greenwich University with Thomas Goodey and Ioana Marinescu.

In 2006 thanks to a grant from the London Consortium doctoral program in Cultural Studies Robin wrote an introduction to and published the first and only English translation of Curzio Malaparte’s book Woman Like Me (Donna Come Me) (Troubador Italian Studies). Robin undertook this translation because he believes that to truly understand Casa Malaparte in Capri you have to read Malaparte, and especially this book as it was written as the house was being built. From 2007 Robin also runs his architectural office Robin Monotti Architects.

Journalist and lecturer Matthew Ehret discusses the history of world government, from the Republic of Venice to the City of London and the British and American empires. He looks at how the COVID19-Great Reset is an attempt by the West to retain its hegemony as the Bretton Woods system faces entropy. Meanwhile, the new contender, the Eurasian Union and Belt & Road Initiative are on the rise and offer an alternative development model notwithstanding the potential for great and serious conflict with the Atlantic powers. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Websites Canadian Patriot Review https://canadianpatriot.org YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS2oIpISybXqY0Og9D4-XYw/featured Substack https://matthewehret.substack.com Strategic Culture https://www.strategic-culture.org/contributors/matthew-ehret Cynthia Chung on Strategic Culture https://www.strategic-culture.org/contributors/cynthia-chung Rising Tide Foundation https://risingtidefoundation.net Twitter https://www.twitter.com/patriot_review About Matthew Ehret Matthew J.L.
