Geopolitics & Empire

Helen Buyniski discusses election fraud, Big Tech censorship, why a Biden victory would be more dangerous (e.g. COVID1984 lockdown), and why neither candidate may actually want to win since they'll be saddled with the fall of the empire. She believes Bill Gates will be true to his word and that a "Dark Winter" is further on up the road. She explains how the lockdowns are a giant asset-stripping scheme and why cities like New York will not recover.

Finnish economist Tuomas Malinen explains the nature and severity of the historic global financial crash underway. He foresees worst-case scenarios which can even include "widespread hunger and rationing in the western world for the first time since the 19th century." As the Eurozone risks disintegration and China fakes its recovery, he worries about the real possibility of global hyperinflation and monetary destruction. The greatest risk is "Global Financial Socialism" brought about by central banks and supranational organizations (e.g. IMF, World Bank, UN) which could bring about a fascist and totalitarian "global economic dystopia". This "financial takeover" or "endgame of the global elite" would include a surveillance state, digital currencies, the end of commercial banks, and the end of cash.

Alasdair Macleod explains why he thinks the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies have already entered into the stage of hyperinflation and that central banks have reached the end of the road. He doesn't believe Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will gain traction and thinks the dollar is toast. He gives his take on the geopolitical US-China dynamic, including potential for military conflict, and tells why gold is a great hedge in this situation.

In those days, trainees learned everything: from making the tea, to corporate finance, to evaluating and dealing in equities and bonds. They learned rapidly through experience about things as diverse as mining shares and general economics. It was excellent training, and within nine years he had risen to become senior partner of his firm. Subsequently, he held positions at director level in investment management, and worked as a mutual fund manager. Mr. Macleod also worked at a bank in Guernsey as an executive director. For most of his 40 years in the finance industry, he has been de-mystifying macro-economic events for his investing clients. The accumulation of this experience has convinced him that unsound monetary policies are the most destructive weapon governments use against the common man. Accordingly, his mission is to educate and inform the public in layman’s terms what governments do with money and how to protect themselves from the consequences. *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)

Douglas Valentine explains the 1960s CIA Vietnam torture and extermination program known as "Phoenix" which later went on to be perfected and deployed in war zones around the world after 9/11 and which has come home to roost in the United States through the creation of a permanent surveillance and police state under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, Fusion Centers, NSA bulk data collection, and numerous other programs. He explains how both political parties are two sides of the same coin and how the pandemic has advanced the interests of the security state.

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.

Author James Howard Kunstler discusses the end of the world as we know it and how the thinking class has gone nuts. He faults our unsustainable energy policies and how the "shale revolution" has only served to extend and pretend the collapse of the oil-based economy and the unviable nature of suburbia. Neither will the"alt-energy freak show" of renewables and EVs save us. He covers food production, the electric grid, and feels we are on the cusp of an economic dam ready to burst and that beyond the election anything is possible (e.g. impasse, civil war). He comments on the Jacobin "wokester" cancel culture and identity politics movement and looks at ways we can adapt to the "long emergency."

A portion of it appeared as the cover story in the September 1996 Atlantic Monthly. His next book in the series, The City in Mind: Notes on the Urban Condition, published by Simon & Schuster / Free Press, is a look a wide-ranging look at cities here and abroad, an inquiry into what makes them great (or miserable), and in particular what America is going to do with it’s mutilated cities. This was followed by The Long Emergency, published by the Atlantic Monthly Press in 2005, is about the challenges posed by the coming permanent global oil crisis, climate change, and other “converging catastrophes of the 21st Century.” This was followed in 2012 by Too Much Magic: Wishful Thinking, Technology, and the Fate of the Nation which detailed the misplaced expectations that technological rescue remedies would fix the problems detailed in The Long Emergency. His 2008 novel, World Made By Hand, was a fictional depiction of the post-oil American future. It eventually became a four part series that included The Witch of Hebron, A History of the Future, and (forthcoming in June 2016), The Harrows of Spring. Mr. Kunstler is also the author of eight other novels including The Halloween Ball, An Embarrassment of Richesand Maggie Darling, a Modern Romance. He has been a regular contributor to the New York Times Sunday Magazine and Op-Ed page, where he has written on environmental and economic issues. Mr. Kunstler was born in New York City in 1948. He moved to the Long Island suburbs in 1954 and returned to the city in 1957 where he spent most of his childhood. He graduated from the State University of New York, Brockport campus,
