Alex Krainer and Henry Makow, all you need to understand in depth today’s geopolitics and history. Krainer is by far the best geopolitical analyst, it’s a joke that incompetent people like Jeffrey Sachs get all those media attention, and Krainer is censored.

Hi RP, that's too kind. In Sachs' defence: people like him still have a role to play in the matrix and have influence in "respectable society" so they hold back in order to not ostracize themselves. I've already ostracized myself so I can let it rip. Sachs still has influence and I think it's legit that he tries to safeguard it.

Alex. This talk is right up there with your discussions with Matt Ehert and Tom Luongo. What's better here is that we get more of your great analysis 🥰. Thank you in particular for the reminder of the beginnings of fractional banking. Essential stuff. Your take on AI is enlightening yet totally practical given the state of the "AI creators" today.

I have to agree with RP on Sachs-- your response is very respectful, but the old enablers of the deep state sorry don't get a pass now just because they MAY appeal to the "respectable society". Even Kissinger -whom I believe Sachs will kind of replace in his role of "society consigliere" -- was preferable. Guys like Sachs just lurk in the background and incite or mollify when it suits their needs.

The "respectable society' is a mass of technocrats who enable, who allow the stratification you are discussing here to continue.

Hi Carol, thank you for that - very kind. In my research for "Grand Deception," I looked closely at the role Sachs played in the whole disaster that were the 1990s in Russia. He really did diverge from others like David Lipton and Andres Aslund who completely fit your description. If anything, Aslund is still today bitter that they haven't done more damage to Russia and preferably completely destroy the country. So I must give Sachs the benefit of the doubt. He may be a Pied Piper, but he might be sincere.

Amazing conversation, Alex. A lot of important points of the ongoing nonsense in the West, as well as clarity of the Eurasian's position and actions that are in the fight against empirical powers, have been revealed and that is, especially at present times essential for all to understand and comprehend. Thank you!

Alex, I first heard of you back in the fall, 2022, with Tom Luongo and Shaun Newman. I would eagerly wait for you guys to do another podcast together. This recent one you did with John Waters takes the cake, and had me make the decision to become one of your paid subscribers. Thank you for the work you are doing. I greatly appreciate the way you draw on your knowledge of history to explain the intricate ways the world operates in simple terms. I have also found it very important to try to understand the mechanics of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and your explanations have really helped further my understanding. I find you have a unique and refreshing perspective with your humble beginnings in Croatia that gives you great context for helping people like me make sense of everything going on today. Anyways I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your great work and possibly encourage you to make podcast appearances more frequently. Maybe you would entertain the idea of periodically doing Q&A from your readers? However I did find that John did a fantastic job in asking you most of the questions that I also would have had for you. - Cheers

Hi Rocco, thank you for the kind words and for your support - I truly appreciate it. For sure, the issues we are dealing with seem complex and overwhelming, but I believe that they must stem from some driving principle that shouldn't be too complex to understand. Indeed, my motivation in research is to try to uncover those simpler principles and if what I share is intelligible as you suggest, it only reinforces my motivation. Judging by the feedback and commentary, which is often better than the original material, I tend to agree with you and believe we might collectively be clearing the path to somewhere good. So we must carry on. Thank you again.

Some takeaways from your video and your well-articulated insights, Alex:

Yes, I came away with a similar impression of Putin after watching an online translation of one of his 2 hour press conferences. What impressed me the most was his attention to details on the regional problems of the Russian federation. More recently, his Valdai speech was a masterfully worded subtile rejection of Western policies pervaded with a sense of humor.

On China: Thanks, I didn't know of Mao's association with Yale but concur with your analysis of the current situation and the distorted vision of China in Western media.

On the mention of Ceausescu's fate: I couldn't help fantasizing something similar for Macron.

On the brief mention of Georgia Meloni: I don't put too much stock in any tribute she makes to Zelensky and still have hope that her coalition will be able to extricate Italy from the clutches of Ursula's EU. Her passionate response to the source of Italy's migrant problem was spot-on (I believe coalition partner Berlusconi still controls much of Italy's media). I am not finding any in-depth reports about internal Italian politics online... would be interested in your take!

Hi Bob, thank you! In fact, it's clear that leaders in Europe today can't freely voice any equivocations about the empire's agenda. Either they're fully onboard, or they're out. I'm not sure about Meloni - virtually all Italians I asked believe that she's true blue supporter of Ukraine and the empire. But Berlusconi clearly isn't and most of the Italians aren't either. I also have my doubts about Scholz. His words and his actions are in discord and while he professes 100% support for Ukraine, if I were Klaus Schwab I wouldn't trust him. Macron - I think he'd only prefer to be more in charge rather than just an errand boy for the imperialists - otherwise I agree with you and can't wait for him to be removed from power.

Well, I'm certainly not "sure" about Meloni...it's just a gut feeling. There is some equivocal interpretations one can infer from her support which she directs toward the plight of the Ukrainian people (not mentioning Zelensky). I tend to think she's waiting for him to be exposed as a fraud by Western media. I don't think that's a hopeless prospect, even if it seems remote at this time. It's interesting that 5 Star stayed out of the coalition and I wouldn't be surprised if it joined at some later time to bolster a more independent stance on Ukraine. I agree about Scholz. The poor fool is between a rock and a hard place ((Ursula& Baenbrock) but probably more dedicated to Germany's interest than the EU. Your description of Macron is spot-on! It all seems like a morality play the way the sides have drawn up; very interesting times!

That was an inspiring podcast. Thank you. I shall try to embrace some modicum of hope for the US to pull out of its wicked ways and more particularly the medical profession to cease to support bio weapons masquerading as pharmaceutical products . Many doctors have opposed this and the war on repurposed drugs but not enough. Not yet. But as you point out the tide is turning against the totalitarian narrative. Thank you for your honest appraisal on Putin and Russia.
