Dexter White returns to confront his critics over his criticism of Vladimir Putin while further clarifying the need for everyone to be very discerning in their consumption of information in this world awash with all forms of bad information.It is imperative we keep our heads clear of the all the propaganda and remain skeptical of everyone's motivations. The answers are ahead of us, not behind us.Episode #98: Tom on Twitter @TFL1728http://www.tomluongo.me

War between Ukraine and Russia is now the Geopolitical Event of the Century. That may change in a week. For now, Dexter White and I try to go over the failure of information flow in the Age of Information.This is a dangerous era we live in today where leaders and media are so ideologically driven they cannot accept any discussion of a conflict in any rational or two-sided manner. That leads us to very ugly potential futures.Tom on Twitter - @TFL1728Gold Goats 'n Guns Bloghttp://www.tomluongo.meDonate:BTC: 3GSkAe8PhENyMWQb7orjtnJK9VX8mMf7ZfBCH: qq9pvwq26d8fjfk0f6k5mmnn09vzkmeh3sffxd6rytDCR: DsV2x4kJ4gWCPSpHmS4czbLz2fJNqms78oELTC: MWWdCHbMmn1yuyMSZX55ENJnQo8DXCFg5kDASH: XjWQKXJuxYzaNV6WMC4zhuQ43uBw8mN4VaWAVES: 3PF58yzAghxPJad5rM44ZpH5fUZJug4kBSaETH: 0x1dd2e6cddb02e3839700b33e9dd45859344c9edcDGB: SXygreEdaAWESbgW6mG15dgfH6qVUE5FSE

With the Fed raising rates all the talk of the markets and my increasingly esoteric take on the political dynamics at play, this week I chat with Blakeley Advisory Group CFO Peter Boockvar about what he thinks is going on with the Fed and the central banks in general as a counterpoint.Peter's experience and clear thinking is appreciated as we move towards the March meeting of the FOMC now that the Fed has been exposed as way behind the inflation curve.Peter on Twitter @PBoockvarTom on Twitter @TFL1728Blog : http://www.tomluongo.me

Crypto is driving fundamental changes to the way data is stored, moved and computed which has interesting implications both for big data center providers like Google, Amazon and Microsoft, but also for countries which are in the throes of insanity over their domestic energy policy. Sam Texas is a veteran of the e-commerce and technology space who brings a unique perspective on where these cross-currents between the quest for decentralization within crypto and the current over-centralization of the data centers meet with prevailing energy politics and explode.Blog : http:www.tomluongo.meTwitter @TFL1728Donate via BTC: 3GSkAe8PhENyMWQb7orjtnJK9VX8mMf7ZfBCH: qq9pvwq26d8fjfk0f6k5mmnn09vzkmeh3sffxd6rytDCR: DsV2x4kJ4gWCPSpHmS4czbLz2fJNqms78oELTC: MWWdCHbMmn1yuyMSZX55ENJnQo8DXCFg5kDASH: XjWQKXJuxYzaNV6WMC4zhuQ43uBw8mN4VaXMR: 48Whbhyg8TNXiNV2LNkjeuJJU55CNt5m1XDtP3jWZK2xf5GNsbU2ZwHLDJTQ5oTU3uaJPN8oQooRpSQ2CPMJvX8pVTqthmu
