Geopolitics & Empire

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. From 2016 to 2019 he acted as external examiner to the new Moscow School of Architecture (MARCH), on behalf of London Metropolitan University. 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. RMA won first prize in the International Drinking Fountain Design Competition 2010 held by the Royal Parks Foundation and the RIBA, and First Prize in the Interior of the Year Award in Ukraine 2013. RMA also won a 5 Star European Property Award 2013-14. In 2016 Robin opened a film production company called Luminous Arts Productions and produced a feature film on the doctor-patient relationship in the history of medicine called The Book of Vision, executively produced by Terrence Malick directed by Carlo Hintermann, starring Charles Dance, Lotte Verbeek and Sverrir Gudnason. The film opened the International Critics Week of the Venice Film Festival of 2020 and the Warsaw International Film Festival 2020 and is sold by Celluloid Dreams of Paris. Robin lectures on cultural sustainability at the International Society of Biourbanism summer school and beyond and is also a contributor to the Journal of Biourbanism, AD Architectural Design, Architecture Today, and Domus. *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)

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.

Geopolitics & Empire · Legalman: Trump, Biden, Brainwashing, Economic Collapse, & the COVID19 PSYOP #186 Lawyer and podcaster “Legalman” discusses the bipartisan corruption plaguing U.S. politics, life after Trump, life with Biden, the shift toward authoritarianism in the United States, and why the American people are so gullible. He gives his take on the psychological operation known as “COVID19”, the economy, and whether Biden sending his first B52 bomber to circle Iran could mean Pax Americana going out with a bang. *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 Exclusive: Proud Boys leader was ‘prolific’ informer for law enforcement https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-proudboys-leader-idUSKBN29W1PE?taid=60117a20c8ffe70001f667bb We’re on the verge of breakdown: a data scientist’s take on Trump and Biden https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/17/were-on-the-verge-of-breakdown-a-data-scientists-take-on-trump-and-biden In Unprecedented Move, TD Ameritrade Puts “Restrictions” On Transactions In GME, AMC https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/unprecedented-move-td-ameritrade-puts-restrictions-transactions-gme-amc Biden Is Blundering Us Into World War 3 https://nationalfile.com/biden-is-blundering-us-into-world-war-3 Website The Quash Podcast with Legalman https://the-quash.captivate.fm/episodes Twitter https://www.twitter.com/USlawreview The Quash Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheQuash About The Quash and Legalman Welcome. The Quash is a unique podcast by a lawyer with more than 30 years of practice.  I enjoy laughing at the utter insanity presented to the people as reality. Here you get the truth. I tell you how the system REALLY works. Not the silly fantasies about justice and liberty and limited govt “of by and for the people”. There is no other show out there like The Quash.  I approach topics like a trial lawyer because that’s what I’ve done for decades. This isn’t about Barnum Statements and he said she said nonsense. I cut through the garbage and the lies the media/education system is full of on EVERY SIDE. The media is owned by 6 companies. If a host is making millions in the media you can be SURE that they serve the interest of the power structure whether the host knows it or not. There are NO exceptions to this rule. Not even “your guy”. *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)

Podcaster Rico Brouwers and activist Willem Engel from the Netherlands discuss COVID19 and the Great Reset, including the Climate Adaptation Summit 2001 which features the “Build Back Better” usual suspects. They discuss the ongoing lockdown protests and riots in the Netherlands, which is experiencing its first curfew since WWII. Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his cabinet have stepped down due to a scandal, but continue in power and openly flaunt civil liberties with gusto. One mayor has said that they’re on the road to “civil war”. We also discuss censorship, deplatforming, and the road ahead. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate **Photo Credit: Remco Koers Show Notes Mayor Jorritsma van Eindhoven: ‘This is how we are on our way to civil war’ https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nieuws/nederland/artikel/5210604/burgemeester-jorritsma-eindhoven-burgeroorlog-corona-rellen Climate Adaptation Summit 2021 https://www.cas2021.com Rico Brouwer Websites Potkaars https://potkaars.nl Many Stream Media https://potkaars.nl/manystreammedia Potkaars Temporary YouTube (Another Voice) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkxRwqxtHR4ttIvBte7AzDw Twitter https://www.twitter.com/ricobrouwer Twitter https://www.twitter.com/potkaars Willem Engel Websites Viruswaarheid (Virus Truth) https://viruswaarheid.nl Viruswaarheid YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtPQTw3iUHIWklTi4-TmKNg Twitter https://www.twitter.com/willem_engel About Rico Brouwer & Potkaars Potkaars is citizen journalism via podcast with a candle in a jar, a guitar, a webcam (for those who want an image) and integrally recorded conversations with guests and a positive story. They are made by Rico Brouwer from Almere. Usually in my studio at home, sometimes on location such as at a demonstration. Since the 2008 financial crisis, I’ve been trying to read and listen to podcasts a lot to find out and understand what’s going on around me in the world you don’t hear about on TV. The podcast has existed since December 20, 2018 with a broadcast every week about activism, (geo) politics and what is current. “Potkaars – talk to everyone” who does things, activists and specialists who provide interpretation. People who give me hope. Potkaars is the report of my search. After my training as a Social Pedagogical Counselor I worked in ICT at ao. Tridion, ING, the Academic Computing Center Amsterdam and as a teacher at Global Knowledge. The crisis in 2008 changed my view of the world and it brought me back to school. In 2014 I became an activist. The reason was when – after Edward Snowden – Bolivian President Evo Morales’ plane was grounded in the EU on behalf of the United States because Morales joked that he might grant Snowden asylum and take him with him from Moscow. “If the power in the Netherlands lies in The Hague, then perhaps the way to make things better is through politics? ” I would try and so I became a politician in the 2017 House of Representatives elections: candidate # 3 and campaign leader for the Pirate Party. After those elections, I continued as an activist with “Real Fairytales”. In music these are the reverse of fake news: the difficult themes in fun songs. In 2018 I became a journalist. Now I do interviews with specialists on all subjects from all over the world. What my guests share is a message of hope. I am writing a book about and with whistleblowers and live with my wife, our two children and the dog Sachi – in the Verzetwijk of Almere. About Willem Engel Willem Engel has made a scientific career as a Bio Pharmaceutical scientist after graduating from Leiden University in 2001. [1] In 2008 he left the world of science. Since then he has been teaching dance in his own studio DA Dance Studio in Rotterdam. Mr. Jeroen S. Pols graduated in 2003 with a specialization in criminal law. Since then he has mainly conducted administrative and civil proceedings. For the past 17 years, he has litigated against governments that are not so careful with laws and regulations. The numerous procedures surrounding the RIECs have attracted regular attention in recent years. The focus of the proceedings is on the unlawfulness of the integrated approach, in which the cooperating authorities structurally set aside legislation and regulations and violate civil rights. *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)

Author and geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert discusses his new book on the battle for space. He explains why the Space Force was created now, why space is the key strategic domain going forward, and what a space battle might look like. He examines how America is in dire need of reviving its space effort and how China’s economic rise could mean obtaining technological and ultimately military superiority. Finally, he looks at the socio-cultural divide and how that has severely hampered American superpower status and gives his prognosis of great power conflict and war in this decade. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Website The Weichert Report https://theweichertreport.wordpress.com YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC98orYgqmJmvtnFWKHXdzlQ Twitter https://www.twitter.com/WeTheBrandon Book Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Space-America-Remains-Superpower/dp/164572011X About Brandon Weichert Brandon J.

Steve St. Angelo discusses his thesis that we have fallen off of the Energy Cliff (e.g. Peak Oil), that “oil is it,” and that there is no new source of energy to replace our current consumption needs, which means what awaits us is a never-ending global economic depression and a type of Mad Max scenario. He gives his take on the role of global elites, their interests in controlling what remains of global energy supplies, and the “New Bretton Woods” moment. He covers Shale Oil, the final frontiers of the Arctic and space, and explains that the idea renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind) can replace fossil fuel is a total Green Energy Myth. He looks at the promising future of gold and silver as stores of value and the questionable future of cryptocurrencies and even Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

These areas include how energy and the falling EROI – Energy Returned On Invested – stand to impact the mining industry, precious metals, paper assets, and the overall economy. Steve considers studying the impacts of EROI one of the most important aspects of his energy research.

Professor Geoffrey Gresh joins us to discuss the strategic maritime shifts under way from Europe to the Indian Ocean and Pacific Asia and the race for great power status as the earth’s changing landscape is rapidly transforming Eurasia and thus creating a new world order. We talk Mackinder, Spykman, Mahan, and cover terrain and sea from Morocco and the Strait of Gibraltar to Djibouti’s Bab el-Mandeb Strait to China’s “String of Pearls” ports (e.g. Gwandar, Pakistan). We look at the merits of the “Thucydides Trap” argument, the “Asian Century”, and the importance of the underwater submarine cables that countries use to connect themselves to the internet. *”The views expressed by Dr. Gresh are his personal views and do not represent the U.S. government, the Department of Defense, and the National Defense University.” *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 The New Great Game at Sea https://warontherocks.com/2020/12/the-new-great-game-at-sea Unsettled Waters: Understanding Eurasia’s Maritime Thrust https://thediplomat.com/2020/12/unsettled-waters-understanding-eurasias-maritime-thrust Website Website https://cisa.ndu.edu/About/Faculty-and-Staff/Article-View/Article/2168042/dr-geoffrey-f-gresh Twitter https://www.twitter.com/GGRESH Books To Rule Eurasia’s Waves: The New Great Power Competition at Sea https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300234848/rule-eurasias-waves About Geoffrey F.

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.

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.
