Godfrey Bloom: World Going Through Bout of Insanity Not Seen Since 1914

Financial economist and former MEP Godfrey Bloom discusses how the world is going through a bout of insanity not seen since 1914.  America’s aggressive militarism hearkens back to that of old Prussia. He sees a link between geopolitics, the major scare stories of today (e.g. climate, pandemic), and the pending crisis in international banking and fiat currency. It’s all interrelated and you always end up with a war somewhere. He discusses the “scamdemic” and how cases based on a dubious test are erroneously being counted instead of mortality numbers, which are tiny. Whereas, vaccinated individuals are being made ill or dying. The response to coronavirus is a hoax. These measures are reminiscent of the late 1930s, nobody seems to be frightened or concerned, they seem to be going with it. He discusses the digital passports, the climate agenda, and thinks it’s too late for the economy. We are on the edge of the ‘crack-up boom’ as the debt numbers we’re dealing with are beyond human imagination, everybody is going to have to default. He urges people to get their money out of the banks. The only way to stop all of what’s happening is for individuals to take action.

Sam Jacobs: What Great Reset? Everything is Going Swimmingly!

Sam Jacobs (lead writer at Ammo) talks about why he is optimistic in the face of current events and why everything is going swimmingly! As left-right distinctions break down post-Covid, we either have people who are for freedom or those actively hostile towards freedom. There is a growing resentment by specific groups against the other part of society who is free and capable of handling their freedom. Though his biggest concern at the moment is the vaccine mandate, he doesn’t think it’s going to end well, he sees power in the unions and a lot of popular resistance. He sees the implementation stage of The Great Reset as being an absolute, unmitigated, disaster. He believes there will be a giant wave of anti-Covid and anti-CRT Republicans who will be elected soon. He thinks emerging technologies (e.g. internet, solar power, blockchain) will make it difficult for The Powers To Be to get their way. He doesn’t really see what success the Biden regime can point to, what’s their “big win”? We discuss firearms and Sam believes one of the reasons America did not become like Canada or Australia over the course of the “pandemic” is because of the 2nd Amendment. We also cover parallel structures and economies. Watch On BitChute / Brighteon / Rokfin / Rumble Geopolitics & Empire · Sam Jacobs: What Great Reset?

However, from a young age he believed firmly in the right of self defense and the right to keep and bear arms. This, coupled with 12 years of education in public schools and an argumentative nature, meant that he was frequently getting into debates with his teachers about the virtue of the Second Amendment. A precocious student of history and the Constitution, Jacobs became interested in both the practice of armed self defense throughout history as well as the philosophical underpinnings of the Second Amendment. Jacobs has an affinity for the individual and the common man against centralized forms of power and elites, whether they be in the government or the private sector. In particular, he is interested in the ways in which private companies work to subvert the legislative process and to undermine American freedoms outside of normal legal channels. He considers the resolution of how corporate power can hem in Constitutional freedoms to be the most pressing political question of our age. The private sector and the public sector are increasingly indistinguishable from one another, both because of behind-the-scenes corporate chicanery that undermines the legislative process and because private companies are rapidly becoming far more powerful than the federal government. Thus, it is more important than ever to both fight the incursion of private companies into our government and to become independent and self-reliant enough to make it difficult for private companies to hem in your rights. So Sam believes. Jacobs is the lead writer and chief historian with Ammo.com, and is the driving intellectual force behind the content in the Resistance Library. He is proud to see his work name-checked in places like Bloomberg, USA Today and National Review, but he is far more proud to see his work republished on websites like ZeroHedge, Lew Rockwell and Sons of Liberty Media. You can catch him on Quora and Parler as well as on our very own Resistance Library podcast. How many firearms does Sam own and what’s his everyday carry? That’s between him and the NSA. *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)

Gregory Copley: Coup Season In Africa, China Can’t Go To War, West Becoming Soviet Union

Gregory Copley returns to discuss Africa and how the continent is largely rudderless, as it is no longer receptive to the West, and China has retreated as BRI has run out of cash. Coup season is back in Africa, as there is no downside for a putschist staging a coup nowadays (e.g. Guinea, Sudan). Conflicts center around territory, population, and resources (e.g. water). We also discuss the recent Algeria-Morocco conflict and the rumors of war as Algeria shut off a gas pipeline for the first time in 25 years. The same people who ran U.S. policy to break up Yugoslavia are doing it again in Ethiopia, using up what little is left of U.S. prestigious to create disaster. Mr. Copley gives an update on the US-China “New Total War” and why China cannot afford to go to war under any circumstances. Meanwhile, the U.S was given the Central Asian region on a plate and threw it away. He was recently in Uzbekistan talking to the highest levels of government, who are harboring great anger towards Washington. He believes re-unification of Taiwan with China is a “fiction” and that Taiwanese defensive capabilities are growing faster than Beijing’s offensive capabilities. He discusses unrestricted or hybrid warfare, the “global mass psychosis” and wave of panic which began in 2020, and the rise of tyranny in the West. He cites former Czech President Václav Klaus, who told him personally, that we didn’t get rid of the Soviet Union to create another one, which is what is happening in the EU, U.S., Canada, Australia, etc. Watch On BitChute / Brighteon / Rokfin / Rumble / YouTube Geopolitics & Empire · Gregory Copley: Coup Season In Africa, China Can’t Go To War, West Becoming Soviet Union #235 *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

Edward Curtin: There is a Direct Link Between JFK, 9/11 & Covid-19

Edward Curtin returns to discuss deep politics and what links the assassination of JFK, 9/11, and Covid-19. No president since Kennedy has dared to buck the Military-Industrial-Complex, including Trump, who is part of the same system that produced both Obama and Biden. He discusses the 1967 CIA memo which told mainstream media to use the disparaging term “conspiracy theory” to quell all deviation from the official narrative, and how this propaganda technique has continued to function from JFK to 9/11 to Covid-19. Many of the same actors involved in the MIC and 9/11 continue to be involved with the drug companies, CDC, WEF, WHO, Gates Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. It’s very obvious, but the story is so frightening people don’t want to do any homework. Too many people think there is this war going on between the right and the left, in the larger frame of reference there is no difference, it’s the warfare state against the regular people, the rich versus the poor. The 4IR is an effort for total political and economic control of peoples all over the world. He believes the purpose of the vaccine mandate is for political control. Ultimately, we are in a spiritual war.

Piers Robinson: You Have to be Profoundly Naive to Think This is Just About Public Health

Dr. Piers Robinson returns to discuss being targeted by the MSM for accurately calling out truths surrounding Covid-19 from the beginning, analysis which has since proven to be right on the money. He believes the smear campaign tactic is greatly waning in efficacy and that more people are waking up. He gives an update on COVID9/11 including the propaganda, censorship, and how this event is being used for a very major political and economic restructuring towards Central Bank Digital Currency and total control over money. Vaccine Passports are sold as a moral imperative in order to get people onto the Digital ID which is the stepping stone to CBDCs and neo-feudal technocracy. You have to be profoundly naive to think this is just about a public health crisis. He sees people taking grassroots concerted action and hopes that the Great Reset begins to unravel, though admits the risk is clearly there that we could end up in a very bad place as in history past.

Dr. Igor Shepherd: Covid is a Global Military Operation, We’re Facing Genetic Genocide

Former Soviet military physician Dr. Igor Shepherd provides his analysis of the current so-called pandemic, which he says is an enormous global military psychological operation implemented by communist-crazies who have infiltrated the governments of all nations. Their goal is to silently usher in a post-Covid-19 world government via The Great Reset and decimate all freedoms and civil rights. SARS-CoV-2 (and all of its deadly variants) does not exist, and is not a bioweapon from the Wuhan lab in China. The ruse of an actual virus is required in order to mandate the true biological weapon, the Covid-19 vaccinations, for the purposes of the DNA transformation of humanity and genocide (depopulation). He believes that the great power rivalry between the East and West is a charade and that all states are on the same page. However, it is possible that there is a second military component to follow the ongoing silent and biological first phase of the Covid operation. America has become spiritually, economically, and politically bankrupt. Having been removed from superpower position, it also risks being physically destroyed.

Senator Malcolm Roberts: On Corona, Climate, China, & the Great Reset

Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts discusses the so-called public health emergency and the draconian emergency measures and legislation being put into place. He argues there is no pandemic because there has been a normal death rate. This has changed since the introduction of vaccination, which is causing adverse affects and killing healthy people. He considers the Vaccine Passports to be more like digital “Vaccine Prisons” which keeps one group of people separated from society. Australian government data contradicts what they are doing, which is destroying the economy and going against fundamental human rights by destroying the very notion of democracy. The parliaments no longer serve the people and he argues that the people who allow this tyranny are the citizens themselves. The coming Trusted Digital Identity legislation is part of the Great Reset which seeks to control our whole life, economy, energy, resources, water, property, etc. He discusses the fraudulent climate agenda which is coalescing with the pandemic agenda and how Australian politicians are working with the WEF to de-industrialize the West and impose a globalist socialist governance. Australia blindly follows the U.S. into war and he questions whether there really are any grounds for war with China. He’s optimistic we’ll eventually be able to turn the tide, as has been the case in history.

James Kunstler: There Will Be Revolt Against the Neo-Jacobin Program, We’ll See the End of This

James Kunstler returns to Geopolitics & Empire for an update on the “long emergency” and how the neo-Jacobin program is faring. He believes we are in the midst of a mass hysteria with the question being how to battle our way out of it. At the bottom of it all is the fact that techno-industrial economies have lost their mojo and are crashing, threatening to push us into a technological surveillance state. The cycle of politicians being able to get away with anything needs to be broken and the latest indictment by John Durham may contain seeds of hope. A very ugly struggle may ensue, which can include military conflict. He believes enough people will resist and put an end to the tyranny, that the techno-dystopia won’t succeed because of energy restraints, though we will wake up to a different world which will include the collapse and contraction of cities.

Bill Blain: Economic Storms on the Horizon, Never as Bad as You Think, & Crypto Bubble to Pop

Strategist and market commentator Bill Blain provides his analysis of the financial markets and the potential storms on the horizon. Some of the biggest issues include the supply chain crisis and the dangers of inflation, all of which he says markets can cope with. However, what we can’t cope with are central bank and government policy mistakes (e.g. interest rates, taxes, austerity). Europe is going to see much higher prices and fuel poverty. His mantra is that things are never as bad as you think they’re going to be, but they’re never as good as you hope they’re going to be. The U.S. is going to be in trouble due to political impasse and divide in the country, meanwhile China is experiencing a power struggle between its different factions, and Europe and ECB are carrying out a monetary coup. He also discusses why the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency “end-phase” bubble is full on, though the technology itself can be put to good use (e.g. carbon credits).
