Simon Dixon: The New Great Depression, The New Bretton Woods, & How to Survive

Bitcoiner and co-founder of "Bnk to the Future" Simon Dixon discusses the "New Great Depression" and the various iterations of a "New Bretton Woods" proposed by actors such as the IMF and WEF. He believes World War 3 will be fought with "Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction" (FWMDs) and that the future will be one of less privacy and more technocratic control as central banks roll out digital currencies and get rid of cash. However, he sees opportunity and hope in the crypto space. As all nations become more "socialist", he views the virtual crypto and FinTech space as the last remaining capitalist stronghold. His investment platform and Retirement Plan B can help you navigate the storms ahead.

Francis Boyle: War With Iran Could Be Imminent, Russia & China Are The Endgame

International Law professor Dr. Francis Boyle discusses the increasing potential for war with Iran, as provocations by Washington and Tel Aviv against Tehran could continue from now until Inauguration Day. President Trump could use war with Iran as a "wag the dog" scenario in order to continue on for a second term. War with Iran has already been planned by previous administrations, but after Afghanistan and Iraq, was put off to future presidents. The recent U.S. & Israeli assassinations of Iranian generals, commanders, and scientists as well as attacks on missile and nuclear facilities are attempting to provoke Iran into retaliating, which would then serve as a pretext for the U.S. to initiate war. This could be the last opportunity by the Zionists to take Iran out, as Iran is the only remaining state in the Persian Gulf that doesn't do what the Americans tell them to do. He looks at the prospects of resurrecting the JCPOA and explains the Palestinian situation, how they are completely helpless and in dire straits as they've been abandoned and betrayed by most of the Arab world. Furthermore, Israel wants all of Palestine and they don't want any of the Palestinians there, and thus if war with Iran breaks out they face an existential situation. Finally, he discusses the Pentagon's endgame which is Russia and China.

Miklos Lukacs: Resisting Techno-Feudalism & The Great Reset

Research professor Dr. Miklos Lukacs discusses academic freedom and the roots of technocracy or techno-feudalism. This system is going global and China's “Social Credit” score forms only part of the picture. In the West, partners include Big Tech, Big Finance, Big Pharma, and their meeting points (e.g. World Economic Forum, Bilderberg). He takes a closer look at key partnerships between Bill Gates, Microsoft, and China, which began in the 1990s. He believes Big Tech and the globalists expected Hillary to win in 2016, and that the pandemic was part of a plan to remove Trump from office in 2020, in order to continue implementing the technocratic agenda now christened as The Great Reset. This system will greatly reduce many of our freedoms (e.g. mobility, economic activity, consumer options, thought police, smart cities). He ends with some thoughts on how to resist.

Patrick Armstrong: Russia, the NATO “Paper Pussycat” & End of U.S. Empire

Retired defence analyst Patrick Armstrong discusses US-Russia relations, the Arctic, that NATO is really a "Paper Pussycat", and how Russia's military is extremely well prepared for conflict. He gives his thoughts on the reactions to COVID19 by Russia and China which seems to say they initially may have thought it to be a bioweapon, tied into their fear of the propensity for declining empires (e.g. United States) to start wars as they collapse. He also gives his take on the elections and internal discord paralyzing the United States which he takes to signal the end of empire, a "race between imploding and exploding, fusion or fission." *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 RUSSIAN FEDERATION SITREP 3 DECEMBER 2020 https://patrickarmstrong.ca/2020/12/03/russian-federation-sitrep-3-december-2020 The U.S. Election Is Not Over https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/12/04/the-us-election-is-not-over An Epitaph for the West https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/11/20/an-epitaph-for-the-west Goodbye: Has Russia Had Enough Insults? https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/11/04/goodbye-has-russia-had-enough-insults Website Russia Observer https://patrickarmstrong.ca VK https://vk.com/id399914015 About Patrick Armstrong Patrick Armstrong was an analyst in the Canadian Department of National Defence specialising in the USSR/Russia, having started in the time of Chernenko. He was a Counsellor in the Canadian Embassy 1993-1996, retired in May 2008, and has been writing on Russia and related subjects on the Net ever since. He has written for various websites and discussion groups – some since departed and some still there, and started his own website with the intention of it becoming a repository for his writings. Generally speaking, the predominant theme of his career was that we had a great opportunity when the USSR disappeared to make a more cooperative world. Instead, we have steadily turned Russia into an enemy – and a much more capable one than we casually assumed in the 1990s. So here we are today. Paying for our arrogance, incompetence and maybe worse. But he hasn’t given up hope.

Martin Armstrong: Elites Ushering in Communism 3.0 Kickstarted By Another World War

Geopolitics & Empire · Martin Armstrong: Elites Ushering in Communism 3.0 Kickstarted By Another World War #176 Forecaster Martin Armstrong says we are witnessing a deliberate attempt to take over the world through the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" which seeks to install global Communism 3.0. It merges three ideologies: Bill Gates being a symbol of the eugenics and depopulation program, George Soros' "Open Society" a key driver of the one-world government, and Klaus Schwab a Marxist at heart who has proclaimed that no one in the world will own anything anymore. The problem stems from the world's debt since WWII which no one planned to ever pay back and things have reached a point of no return. Politicians are deliberately using lockdowns to intentionally destroy global economies as they seek to strip the U.S. of its superpower status. President Trump is the only one currently standing in the way of this agenda, and if he is removed America's nuclear arsenal could be handed over to the UN. What follows is civil unrest culminating in world war, which could be initiated using a false flag attack on the internet or power grid. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopoliticsPayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopoliticsBitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Show Notes Covid Fraud? https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/disease/covid-fraud Schwab Advocates Putting Chips in Our Head so Government Can Read our Thoughts? https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/great-reset/schwab-advocates-putting-chips-in-our-head-so-government-can-read-our-thoughts BigTech Replacing Banks https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/banking-crisis/bigtech-replacing-banks Switzerland to Prosecute COVID Skeptics – Welcome to Tyranny https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/disease/switzerland-to-prosecute-covid-skeptics-welcome-to-tyranny Why China Will Become #1 World Economy https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/china/why-china-will-become-1-world-economy Website Twitter https://twitter.com/StrongEconomics Website https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/blog About Martin Armstrong Armstrong is the developer of the Armstrong Economic Confidence Model, best known for calling the crash of 1987 to the very day.

Ryan Cristián: Who Won…Biden, Trump, or the Biosecurity State?

Analyst Ryan Cristián (Last American Vagabond) discusses the contested U.S. election, fraud, and blockchain voting. We discuss false flag operations such as the FBI-led attempt to kidnap Michigan's governor and the idea that an EMP attack may be imminent. He believes COVID19 is an extension of the 9/11 attacks with the ultimate goal of bringing in a technocratic biosecurity state. He explains how every single aspect of the pandemic narrative is patently questionable (e.g. case numbers, masks, lockdowns). He also looks at the issues surrounding COVID19 vaccines (e.g. safety and DNA-alteration), contact tracing, quarantine camps, and how everything will tie together into a social credit system.

Tom Luongo: How to Prepare for the Great Reset? Get Antifragile!

Analyst Tom Luongo joins us to discuss the contested election and how the elites are fully committed to The Great Reset (e.g. they've turned BoJo in the UK). They are in the process of destroying the lower and middle classes and their vision of the future is a communist, dystopian, Brave New World-meets-1984 society. Tom calls out the EU technocracy as the real threat and enemy as opposed to China, Russia, or Iran. The Great Reset calls for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), a cashless society, and its implementation will accelerate if Trump wins reelection. Tom gives some practical pointers on how to best survive the attempt to push through The Great Reset because whether or not it succeeds, it will still be a time of great chaos.

Charlie de Vreede: Election is Nationalism vs Globalism, Assange Case Fraught With Irregularities

Dutch lawyer Charlie de Vreede discusses Julian Assange's extradition trial. She views the election as a battle between nationalism and internationalism and believes a Trump presidency would increase the chances of an Assange pardon. She discusses the unfair practices of the state against Assange such as the extradition case being pushed along yet lacking a criminal indictment, total surveillance of Assange and his defense team which would normally throw out a case, how the court proceedings have not been public, how the judge has been reading out previously written statements from a laptop, and how his treatment in prison can technically be considered torture.

Pedro Kuit: Dutch Corona Measures Are A Crime Against Humanity & All About Power & Money

Pedro Kuit has initiated an Extra Parliamentary Investigation Committee with expert witnesses against the authoritarian Covid-19 measures taken by the Dutch government, which he believes are all about power and money, and amount to a crime against humanity. He has modeled his committee on the successful inquiry initiated by Germans against their government, and this is being replicated and spread to other countries. If the government doesn't cease it's unscientific and undemocratic measures, he will take them to the highest court. Examples of witness testimony include how PCR tests are being fraudulently used for Covid-19 testing as they produce false-positives.

Martin Armstrong: Elites Using False Pandemic to Crash Economy for Horrific Great Reset

Renown forecaster Martin Armstrong discusses how global elites are using the pretext of a false pandemic to deliberately crash the economy in order to create "The Great Reset". The lockdowns are destroying small businesses and creating food shortages. The World Economic Forum is orchestrating the Great Reset in order to create a cashless society and communistic world where people will own nothing. He believes they are using bitcoin as a test run to see how it works and then they will replace it themselves because they won't allow competition.
