Failure of London "peace" talks on Wednesday will ultimately precipitate a financial crash in Europe and Britain, catalyzing an explosion of inflation and an economic depression.
Correct, and Trump has assumed ownership. He will hurt himself by continuing to whine this is Biden's war, that he wouldn't have started this war (he played a role by sending military hardware as 45), and that he would end it in 24 hours (it's now 100 days past due). He could stop aid and making demands of Russia since he has no cards to play.
what's even more sickening is that we can all see the blazing hypocrisy. Like if I was Putin I would be thinking I had better things to do than be an actor in this Trump reality drama show
if you sold your soul to the devil you can expect misery and riches. What a devil Trump himself is. I hate the guy In fact - its all a reality show drama - all of them. I like Russia and China, although those two countries will eventually become like the US - decadent. Its the system of governance that's so outdated and corruptable. People have to change the system...Rudolf Steiner had great ideas for preventing ( 100 years ago ) what we are suffering under today. I think his ideas are still relevant. Three separate entities in civilization - the economy and banks and finance as one part - government and the rights and legal system ( not the courts though ) as the second part and basically people as the third part. He called it ' culture ' as in churches schools hospitals and eveything. So the government doesn't control those things....neither the courts. the courts are in the hands of the people and so is the whole prison system - a ministry of prisons. milnistry of schools ministry of health - but these are not govenrmetn - they are held by the people and run by the people. And another aspect of his ideas is ' mandatory gifting ' so yeah, the wealthy have to contribute but not as donations with strings attached. Just mandatory gifting to the culture. Anyway - there's so much to it.
That doesn't actually make anything clear, does it? All he does is recount some of what the New York Times article says about America and refers to "direct references and unambiguous insinuations" that "point ineluctably to the conclusion that the “proxy war” is of British concoction and design." Just an assertion, citing nothing. Then he refers to "Britain’s concerted post-World War II conspiracy to exploit American military might" with two links to articles by himself that don't prove any such thing. That's the substance of his article and, I guess, Alex's claim.
I feel for the European people. Their leaders have sold them out. Trump and America must move on, create partnerships with Russia, establish trade and work on a future with India, Latin America, and Asia.
The European leaders have shown me they don’t just hate Trump, but they hate Americans.
Yes! I do indeed feel for the European people, but European power has always hated Americans. America has pilfered Europe's best and brightest for over 100 years. Going back to our founding as a nation, even the support that France provided our fledgling nation was nothing more than their proxy war against Britain. And don't get me started talking about Britain... that evil cabal hates America like we're the plague... they always have. America's future prosperity lies in a strategic union with Russia.
Pilfered or did they enthusiastically leave? I agree, Russia supported the USA as a fledgling nation and through the civil war. the Bolshevik revolution created the gap in relations that we haven't moved away from ever since.
"Pilfered or did they enthusiastically leave?"... that depends on whose perspective you're looking from... I was speaking from that of European power...
OH!!!! Speaking of the Bolshevik Revolution. I believe it will benefit you to first read Richard Poe's new book "How The British Invented Communism (And Blamed It On The Jews"... I believe you'll find it quite illustrative of Britain's continuous involvement against Russia for over 300 years.
Was it the British or because German Karl Marx was living in Britain with his partner, Engels that you say it was invented by the British? I pretty aware of Britain's enmity with Russia and their issues, but I will check out Poe. Thanks
On a side note, I'm wondering at your use of the term "partner" when referring to Marx wrt Engels... I'm well aware that Marx and Engels were close collaborators, but my understanding is that evidenced by their written communications they they were both tremendously homophobic.
Apart from William Wiseman helping Trotsky move on from detention in Canada in 1917, what does Poe adduce in support of the idea of Trotsky working for the British? I read his essay post of the same name but perhaps the book is more detailed.
There will be no partnership between America & Russia.
America is the #1 threat to Russia, China, the global south & the world.
Only after America has gone bankrupt, has withdrawn all its military home and demonstrated a decade or 2 of humility and good behavior can there be a chance for improved relations.
Nick, you are tragically mistaken... It's not America that presents the threat... It's America's NeoCons that have heretofore been in charge of America's foreign policy that presents the threat.
I am not mistaken. It is not neocons. It is American exceptionalists who imagine America as the best country on earth, and the natural rulers of the globe- with the most powerful military to back up their "rules".
None of these things is true.
And the American government has caused more pain, suffering & death than any other entity on earth since WW2.
Funny thing... for the past over 100 years, the majority of the world has considered America in the same manner as those American exceptionalists, i.e., the best country in the world. I'm not excusing the crimes that the American government has perpetrated on the global stage, but I am pointing the finger of accusation at a specific mentality within our government, and those who ascribe to that mentality... Please take notice that I did not say the crimes of the American people.
WRT your last statement... LOL! You've got to be shit'n me!!!~ You've gone from tragically mistaken to tragically wrong at breakneck speed!... Do you have that blind of eye to the crimes of the Stalin regime?... or the crimes of the CCP under Mao?... or the crimes of Pol Pot's reign of terror in Cambodia? or the crimes of Idi Amin in Uganda? I could name others, but those will suffice as prime examples. Let us be honest, while the U.S. government is certainly no Mother Teresa on the global stage, it has paled in comparison to the abhorant acts of despotism and horrific crimes that the genuine tyrants of the 20th Century perpetrated against humanity... more often than not against their own populations.
I agree, all those you listed were despots that caused a lot of suffering & death.
Perhaps Stalin & Mao caused more suffering & death, but America is at least third on that list- plus they have been doing it for 70 years. Stalin & Mao only for 20 or 30.
Nick, I hope you’re not an American. Cause you are totally wrong. Anything can be achieved if you have the will to achieve it. Plus if you’re an American and are thinking like that, please leave!!!
He’s not totally wrong. Of the 285 armed conflicts since WW2 the US has been involved in at least 60% of them, and initiated many. Russia is a distant second by comparison.
It’s not that he’s wrong, I disagree with his premise that America needs to be destroyed so that we learn our lesson. I was not responsible for those wars, nor was I around, and that’s part of what MAGA is trying to fix. No more foreign wars and focus on helping our fellow American citizens.
That will entail new relationships and new alliances. Russia is not our enemy but the EU now is. They want to start WWIII but to have Americans shed their blood. We voted out the Democrats because we don’t want more war, we’re trying to clean house because we don’t want more wars, we’re pushing for building up our country and building up other countries instead of the 285 armed conflicts.
There’s no guarantee we’ll succeed but if we don’t try, then we will be doomed.
My statement that there will be no partnership between Russia & America is accurate and will be proven in time. This is because of what America has already done, not because of what it might do.
It is also true that America is the #1 threat to Russia, China & the global south/BRICS.
Just because you are an American and disagree does not have any connection to reality.
But you do? I also live in Europe my friend and Europe will be long gone before America falls. Our former governments did horrible things, but no worse then what the Europeans did to Africa or the Brit’s did to the Middle East and India.
No governments are guiltless. If the American people under MAGA are not able to stop the madness into the abyss it won’t be stopped.
America may fail but the UK and the EU will be long gone. I’m praying for America and for you, Where ever you are.
There are millions of Americans who support peace with Russia and want peace with Russia.
We all have agency, there’s nothing set in stone. With God’s help you will be proven wrong.
Trying to stop the madness and the death. What else can we do? Our government is corrupt as is the EU government. People in America just like in France, Spain, Hungary, Germany are trying to stop the madness.
We’re called far right because we want to stop the madness, we want to stop the war, we want to stop the immigration that’s destroying our countries. We’re trying to restore our own countries.
This is a remarkable, precise and incisive report on the background noise to the phoney war for ‘democracy’, exposing the moral degeneracy of Starmer and co. Thanks Alex - great stuff.
Good riddance to a fascist EU. Just for the UK, France, Germany and the little pincher states that yap around their legs to end up on the dung pile of history is reason to celebrate.
While I never believed the "again" part of the slogan to make America great, this is a decisive moment in human history. The Germans, of whom it was alleged that a close cooperation with Russia would create a powerhouses unlike anything seen before, are too stupid to change course of the opposite direction.
Which leads me to the interesting conclusion:
If it would have been such a prosperous accord for both Germany with their technology and Russian resources - it will be even more prosperous when the United States takes over the role of Germany and creates such a union with Russia. This will be the undoing of the fascists in the EU. Von der Lying, the Kallas pincher, the German old school Nazi Merz, the wannabe Napoleon Micron and the worst of them all - the toothless, demented bulldog UK will be fighting their own population to stay afloat.
No better time existed to invest into the future. There are however large obstacles to this economical and ecological sea change. Anyone supporting genocide is disqualifying oneself for a new world order without this depraved global deep state. With Russia and the United States becoming the trade partners they could always have been, unlimited opportunities exist to overcome the worst of the human condition: for-profit wars and destruction, diseases and weather warfare. And if one is really serious about not only investing into ROI based schemes - but the progression of the species towards a sustainable life form, investments in organic farming and micro-rebar enforced gaseous concrete should be made. Guaranteed, ethically viable returns.
Very hard to believe that anyone - anywhere actually believed that these supposed ' Peace Talks ' as cobbled together by that odious moron Starmer & his cohort would ever leave the starting gate .
It's been all too apparent for a couple of years now that Putin & Lavrov hold all of the cards and complete primacy in this conflict - and that the U.S. , UK & the Europeans will have no alternative but to settle on all terms as set out by Moscow ....or not settle at all and continue in their role as targeting practice & cannon fodder for the incomparable / unstoppable Russian Military Machine .
Completely agree that without the USA acting as a guarantor / back-stop , that this whole shit-show will collapse the UK & European financial markets in pretty short order - something that will doubtless greatly please both the U.S. administration and the ' Deep State ' when it happens .
Britain's " Fresh Collateral " + any designs ' Macron ' had on stealing Russian Assets are doubtless a forlorn hope now + I don't expect Trump and team will be cut very much slack by Moscow and that all of the land & any other goodies that have been asset-stripped out from under the completely illegitimate Ukrainian Regime' will remain firmly within Russian control unless they and they alone want to use it as leverage to pursue other ends . The likes of Monsanto , Cargill and other assorted bottom dwellers shouldn't count on getting anything that they currently think is nailed on .
Zelensky has been a ' Dead Man Walking ' for a very long time - and I'd almost place both
Starmer and Macron ( + various other EU heads of state & apparatchiks ) in this self-same category as it can't be too long before the pitchforks and flaming torches get deployed by millions of downtrodden and subjugated populations and we see innumerable scum bag politicians swinging from the lamp posts that line the best areas of London , Paris & other capital's to boot .
" The Looming Credit Event " as you've noted ,is just waiting in the wings for one of any number of triggers as will be all that's needed to send this whole ' Ponzi Scheme ' to hell in a handcart .
I have to ask you Alex- why would Russia do any deals with America?
Obviously there are many reasons Trump/America wants access to Russia, but I see no reasons for Russia to allow America access.
Russia & China are at the center of creating a new non-western trade settlement & financial system.
America is the biggest player in the western financial system- which is an enemy to both Russia & China.
I do not see 1 good reason why Russia would cooperate with or welcome American companies into Russia.
All Russia & China have to do is resist America & the west- and the collapse of the western financial system will be hastened. No attacks needed. No threats needed.
Just stoic resistance.
When the western financial system collapses/America hits the debt wall- America will be forced to start closing bases around the world. It's ability to terrorize, meddle in, dominate and threaten global south countries will be drastically reduced.
The global south is the core & future of Russia, China & BRICS.
America is akin to a toxic virus.
I simply do not see any reason for Russia to cooperate or assist America in any way.
Russians are diplomatic masters. Of course they will communicate diplomatically with America. But they are very cautious in what they say, always very vague.
As to their positive statements about Trump- for sure they have a deep dossier on him and know how to keep him talking. Slow walking Trump on the Ukraine file while Trump digs holes for himself & America all around the world.
Russia does not need the US as an enemy. The US is pivoting between alliance with European colonialist powers and multipolar world that's emerging. The Russians, Americans and everybody else have a huge stake in which way the US pivots.
America is and has long been the #1 threat to Russia.
Russia has climbed out of the hole American & western efforts put it in during the 90's- all while under attack & threats from America/the west.
I do not think Russia needs America at all. I think Russia is using its diplomatic acumen to play Trump like a fiddle. I do not believe there will be any substantive relations between Russia & America.
I know you have a thesis that Trump is trying to break free from the European banking mafia. This may be true, but it is my view America ends up in the same situation whether he succeeds in that mission or not- America isolated.
I form this view from a multitude of angles that would turn this reply into a book If expanded on.
In my view you provide a lot of excellent analysis and you explain things very well. But I also think you have a blind spot to how bad the situation is within America and how widely reviled America is globally.
Previously countries had no option- they had to kneel to America due to its domination via the western financial system & the USD. Now they have options. AND the world can see both Russia & China standing up to America. Both happen to be key players in BRICS & the new trade settlement & transaction systems.
I see catastrophe in America & across the west for a decade or 2.
I see a good future in most of the rest of the world with the west collapsed.
I am a Canadian expat avoiding the west for the rest of my life. If my home province of Alberta separates from central Canada, I might consider returning.
Yes and no. The City is not to be trusted, but they've been losing now one critical battle after another. That said, they are still extremely dangerous and not to be underestimated. They're psychopathic arsonists and will push the whole world to war to save themselves. But they are saving themselves - not winning.
Tend to disagree - All these ' Bad Actors ' ( City / Wall Street ) are currently circling drain at an ever increasing velocity . Just keep tours ears open for all of the wails of despair as the great gaping mouth of the ' Gurgler ' opens side and consume's them all ( Hopefully )
Maybe-- but as their resources get stretched and people continue to awaken and rebel, the City administrators will face more and more push back. They are not that smart to deal with it.
Britain is a very well controlled fascist state, rebellion by whom? The City has vast resources which it has always protected and any sniff of revolt will lead to conscription and a massacre of a whole generation of trouble makers. Think of WW1. These people you say aren't smart, I disagree. They've ran their empire for over 2 centuries and have grown stronger and more cunning generation after generation.
There is great deal of discussion around the extreme devaluation of the US dollar through inflation and crap asset pools that gold will again for the umpteenth time become a reserve till CBDC or similar is installed. I think the quiet central bank gold purchase of the last 2 years is a tell. It has way further to go to soak up all those useless dollars.
Don't you think that the bankers Alex wrote about earlier this week aren't inflating a gold bubble to jerk it out from under those rushing in while they play the downside?
Not really believe that. WWIII is coming. IMO the Europeans are especially worried. I don't invest in gold. Like many people, I have some on hand as a hedge against government risk and the collapse of currency. Europe is known for cancelling currency. I believe bankers are increasing their reserves to hedge against currencies. The euro is going to collapse. I am set to bet against it fairly soon.
A lot of platinum is used for industrial purposes, for example in catalytic converters. Perhaps, as internal combustion engines are replaced by electric motors in automobiles, less platinum is needed, and this accounts for the disparity in pricing.
From Lawrence Lepard's book: The Big Print, he speaks to gold vs. silver.
"Silver is a different beast. Silver is noted for its electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and reflectivity. Silver is the best conductor of electricity, better than copper and gold, but it does tarnish. Silver also has medicinal properties and can kill bacteria in vitro, making it useful in catheters and wound dressings.
Silver by category:
Electrical/Electronics: 35%
Investment (coins/bullion) 27.2%
Jewelry 17%
Photovotaic (solar) 14.2%
Silverware 4.9%
Photographic 2.3%
Within 5 years, solar production could consume 50% of silver production."
Silver doesn't really correlate (as a competing currency investment) therefore with gold (my opinion).
Brilliant. Well written ... literate! What you describe is what I see happening now and future events. The pipe that U S interests is reported to have severed severely damaged Europe through cost of fuel and was reported to have been motivated by U S preserving its currency.
I dont know Alex. The Spanish stock market is thriving. The banks and main corporations are reaching record profits and sharing record benefits. Seems very counter intuitive because what you say makes perfect sense.
" Dead Cat Bounce " ......." Clusterfuck " ......" CRACK UP BOOM " and all this while the purchasing power of the currency collapses & head's south . Take a look at Argentina and Venezuela in the recent past when both of their stockmarkets were headed to the moon , their currencies were plummeting ( against real metallic money ) . What life-span do you give to the Euro ...?? .MOST TELLING FACT - Not long ago in Venezuela 1 x Ounce of Silver could buy nearly a year's worth of Groceries . WEIMAR ...WEIMAR...WEIMAR ( 1923 ) this is where the Spanish stockmarket ( all stockmarkets & economies ) are ultimately destined for & not long off
Thank you Hilary. The dollar is doomed, but I don't know if anyone can predict the trajectory. At any rate, I think that the euro and the pound (and yen) will collapse before the dollar does.
Maybe, just maybe, the world will tilt far East enough, that the Asian currencies will expand in value and might be good for small investments: Chinese Renminbi, Thai Baht, and even Russian Rubles. Just a thought. What are yours?
Especially take a look at 1913 ( establishment of the Fed ) and 1971 ( Nixon removes Gold backing from the US Dollar ) and then see how much purchasing power the paper dollar has lost over these periods . Essentially an item which would have cost you $1 x dollar back then
will cost you $ 99 x dollars today .
" Gold is Money - Everything Else is Credit " - As quoted John Pierpoint ( J.P. ) Morgan 1910
It's not so much " What will this do to the dollar " as " What has this already done to the dollar " . What is on the horizon for the Dollar is it's final & ultimate - " Coup de Grace " .
" Coup de Grace " meaning - The ending of something that's gradually been getting worse "
Ever since I read your book on the Browder escapade ,I have grown more and more fond of your writings.If I could upgrade to paid I would .Retired and on fixed income .

Kit Klarenberg made it quite clear in one of his recent articles for Al Mayadeen: https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/it-s-official--ukraine-conflict-is-british--proxy-war
its the US's war too until they stop all funding and weapons
read the description of what our fucking useless and devilish government does to wild horses - just read it. -https://ladyfreethinker.org/sign-stop-cruel-helicopter-roundups-that-are-killing-wild-horses/ We don't need this on earth. Governemnt is the worst entity on the planet now.

what's even more sickening is that we can all see the blazing hypocrisy. Like if I was Putin I would be thinking I had better things to do than be an actor in this Trump reality drama show

if you sold your soul to the devil you can expect misery and riches. What a devil Trump himself is. I hate the guy In fact - its all a reality show drama - all of them.

You clearly don’t understand the huge loss of the 13 Colonies on the British Deep State psyche.
On a side note, I'm wondering at your use of the term "partner" when referring to Marx wrt Engels... I'm well aware that Marx and Engels were close collaborators, but my understanding is that evidenced by their written communications they they were both tremendously homophobic.
traditional use of the term, not woke use.
The short answer is that it has a lot to do with Trotsky's association with the British and the reasoning behind his assassination in Mexico.
Apart from William Wiseman helping Trotsky move on from detention in Canada in 1917, what does Poe adduce in support of the idea of Trotsky working for the British? I read his essay post of the same name but perhaps the book is more detailed.
The ice has broken. I said the same thing today. US may be about to rid itself of it's worst enemy England it's Chihuahua in furs - Canada.
"America has pilfered Europe's best and brightest for over 100 years"
If by "pilfered" you mean "offered an alternative to Socialism", you're correct.
Totally agree the USA should ally with Russia. We should be colonizing the solar system, instead we're mucking around with British proxy wars.
Agreed... Wholeheartedly!~

Good riddance to a fascist EU. Just for the UK, France, Germany and the little pincher states that yap around their legs to end up on the dung pile of history is reason to celebrate.
While I never believed the "again" part of the slogan to make America great, this is a decisive moment in human history. The Germans, of whom it was alleged that a close cooperation with Russia would create a powerhouses unlike anything seen before, are too stupid to change course of the opposite direction.
Which leads me to the interesting conclusion:
If it would have been such a prosperous accord for both Germany with their technology and Russian resources - it will be even more prosperous when the United States takes over the role of Germany and creates such a union with Russia. This will be the undoing of the fascists in the EU. Von der Lying, the Kallas pincher, the German old school Nazi Merz, the wannabe Napoleon Micron and the worst of them all - the toothless, demented bulldog UK will be fighting their own population to stay afloat.
No better time existed to invest into the future. There are however large obstacles to this economical and ecological sea change. Anyone supporting genocide is disqualifying oneself for a new world order without this depraved global deep state. With Russia and the United States becoming the trade partners they could always have been, unlimited opportunities exist to overcome the worst of the human condition: for-profit wars and destruction, diseases and weather warfare. And if one is really serious about not only investing into ROI based schemes - but the progression of the species towards a sustainable life form, investments in organic farming and micro-rebar enforced gaseous concrete should be made. Guaranteed, ethically viable returns.
Very hard to believe that anyone - anywhere actually believed that these supposed ' Peace Talks ' as cobbled together by that odious moron Starmer & his cohort would ever leave the starting gate .
It's been all too apparent for a couple of years now that Putin & Lavrov hold all of the cards and complete primacy in this conflict - and that the U.S. , UK & the Europeans will have no alternative but to settle on all terms as set out by Moscow ....or not settle at all and continue in their role as targeting practice & cannon fodder for the incomparable / unstoppable Russian Military Machine .
Completely agree that without the USA acting as a guarantor / back-stop , that this whole shit-show will collapse the UK & European financial markets in pretty short order - something that will doubtless greatly please both the U.S. administration and the ' Deep State ' when it happens .
Britain's " Fresh Collateral " + any designs ' Macron ' had on stealing Russian Assets are doubtless a forlorn hope now + I don't expect Trump and team will be cut very much slack by Moscow and that all of the land & any other goodies that have been asset-stripped out from under the completely illegitimate Ukrainian Regime' will remain firmly within Russian control unless they and they alone want to use it as leverage to pursue other ends . The likes of Monsanto , Cargill and other assorted bottom dwellers shouldn't count on getting anything that they currently think is nailed on .
Zelensky has been a ' Dead Man Walking ' for a very long time - and I'd almost place both
Starmer and Macron ( + various other EU heads of state & apparatchiks ) in this self-same category as it can't be too long before the pitchforks and flaming torches get deployed by millions of downtrodden and subjugated populations and we see innumerable scum bag politicians swinging from the lamp posts that line the best areas of London , Paris & other capital's to boot .
" The Looming Credit Event " as you've noted ,is just waiting in the wings for one of any number of triggers as will be all that's needed to send this whole ' Ponzi Scheme ' to hell in a handcart .
I have to ask you Alex- why would Russia do any deals with America?
Obviously there are many reasons Trump/America wants access to Russia, but I see no reasons for Russia to allow America access.
Russia & China are at the center of creating a new non-western trade settlement & financial system.
America is the biggest player in the western financial system- which is an enemy to both Russia & China.
I do not see 1 good reason why Russia would cooperate with or welcome American companies into Russia.
All Russia & China have to do is resist America & the west- and the collapse of the western financial system will be hastened. No attacks needed. No threats needed.
Just stoic resistance.
When the western financial system collapses/America hits the debt wall- America will be forced to start closing bases around the world. It's ability to terrorize, meddle in, dominate and threaten global south countries will be drastically reduced.
The global south is the core & future of Russia, China & BRICS.
America is akin to a toxic virus.
I simply do not see any reason for Russia to cooperate or assist America in any way.
Russians are diplomatic masters. Of course they will communicate diplomatically with America. But they are very cautious in what they say, always very vague.
As to their positive statements about Trump- for sure they have a deep dossier on him and know how to keep him talking. Slow walking Trump on the Ukraine file while Trump digs holes for himself & America all around the world.
Russia does not need the US as an enemy. The US is pivoting between alliance with European colonialist powers and multipolar world that's emerging. The Russians, Americans and everybody else have a huge stake in which way the US pivots.
America is and has long been the #1 threat to Russia.
Russia has climbed out of the hole American & western efforts put it in during the 90's- all while under attack & threats from America/the west.
I do not think Russia needs America at all. I think Russia is using its diplomatic acumen to play Trump like a fiddle. I do not believe there will be any substantive relations between Russia & America.
I know you have a thesis that Trump is trying to break free from the European banking mafia. This may be true, but it is my view America ends up in the same situation whether he succeeds in that mission or not- America isolated.
I form this view from a multitude of angles that would turn this reply into a book If expanded on.
In my view you provide a lot of excellent analysis and you explain things very well. But I also think you have a blind spot to how bad the situation is within America and how widely reviled America is globally.
Previously countries had no option- they had to kneel to America due to its domination via the western financial system & the USD. Now they have options. AND the world can see both Russia & China standing up to America. Both happen to be key players in BRICS & the new trade settlement & transaction systems.
I see catastrophe in America & across the west for a decade or 2.
I see a good future in most of the rest of the world with the west collapsed.
I am a Canadian expat avoiding the west for the rest of my life. If my home province of Alberta separates from central Canada, I might consider returning.
Agreed without reservation Nick - you are over the target IMHO: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/sa-global-south-strategy-sa-needs?r=hhrlz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true
The City aren't finished yet, not by a long shot. They've only gotten started.
Yes and no. The City is not to be trusted, but they've been losing now one critical battle after another. That said, they are still extremely dangerous and not to be underestimated. They're psychopathic arsonists and will push the whole world to war to save themselves. But they are saving themselves - not winning.
Perhaps not just getting started, but rather piling on.
Tend to disagree - All these ' Bad Actors ' ( City / Wall Street ) are currently circling drain at an ever increasing velocity . Just keep tours ears open for all of the wails of despair as the great gaping mouth of the ' Gurgler ' opens side and consume's them all ( Hopefully )
Hope you're right. The big player will be the last to go, ie the centre, the jewel within the eye.
I hope so too .....but who the hell really know's ..??
Maybe-- but as their resources get stretched and people continue to awaken and rebel, the City administrators will face more and more push back. They are not that smart to deal with it.
Britain is a very well controlled fascist state, rebellion by whom? The City has vast resources which it has always protected and any sniff of revolt will lead to conscription and a massacre of a whole generation of trouble makers. Think of WW1. These people you say aren't smart, I disagree. They've ran their empire for over 2 centuries and have grown stronger and more cunning generation after generation.
I wish you luck recruiting the new arrivals.
That’s the game changer.
Gold is looking good at the moment.
Gold is usually close to platinum and palladium.
So both of those are around 1000 and silver is at 33. That sounds reasonable and in proportion.
But how is gold $3300, which is 3x platinum and silver didn't go up (it's also usually linked to gold)?
It looks like a bubble.
Gold is about war. People know it, so it is easier to trade than platinum or palladium. Same with silver to an extent.
There is great deal of discussion around the extreme devaluation of the US dollar through inflation and crap asset pools that gold will again for the umpteenth time become a reserve till CBDC or similar is installed. I think the quiet central bank gold purchase of the last 2 years is a tell. It has way further to go to soak up all those useless dollars.
Don't you think that the bankers Alex wrote about earlier this week aren't inflating a gold bubble to jerk it out from under those rushing in while they play the downside?
Not really believe that. WWIII is coming. IMO the Europeans are especially worried. I don't invest in gold. Like many people, I have some on hand as a hedge against government risk and the collapse of currency. Europe is known for cancelling currency. I believe bankers are increasing their reserves to hedge against currencies. The euro is going to collapse. I am set to bet against it fairly soon.
Will the Swiss Franc also collapse?
Honestly don't know. I read the Swiss have aligned themselves with EU policies. Could be they go down or become a haven.
A lot of platinum is used for industrial purposes, for example in catalytic converters. Perhaps, as internal combustion engines are replaced by electric motors in automobiles, less platinum is needed, and this accounts for the disparity in pricing.
Yes but how does that explain why silver is also very low compared to it's past ratio with gold?
If it went up like gold it would be around $60-90.
From Lawrence Lepard's book: The Big Print, he speaks to gold vs. silver.
"Silver is a different beast. Silver is noted for its electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and reflectivity. Silver is the best conductor of electricity, better than copper and gold, but it does tarnish. Silver also has medicinal properties and can kill bacteria in vitro, making it useful in catheters and wound dressings.
Silver by category:
Electrical/Electronics: 35%
Investment (coins/bullion) 27.2%
Jewelry 17%
Photovotaic (solar) 14.2%
Silverware 4.9%
Photographic 2.3%
Within 5 years, solar production could consume 50% of silver production."
Silver doesn't really correlate (as a competing currency investment) therefore with gold (my opinion).
Well perhaps that’s where it’s going; who’s to say?
🎯 Palladium is not a currency metal --its industrial
Brilliant. Well written ... literate! What you describe is what I see happening now and future events. The pipe that U S interests is reported to have severed severely damaged Europe through cost of fuel and was reported to have been motivated by U S preserving its currency.
Thank you Emily!
Now, if we could only rid ourselves of the NeoCons in our own house that are under the influence of the European hierarchy.
I dont know Alex. The Spanish stock market is thriving. The banks and main corporations are reaching record profits and sharing record benefits. Seems very counter intuitive because what you say makes perfect sense.
Stock markets & bankster benefits do not equal the real economy.
The rich get richer. The poor dumpster dive.
Never a Truer Word & all that ....but coming to an end ( hopefully )
Think thriving late 20s then the crash.
Thriving are the military industrial complexes in these Nations. While the constituency is cramming through the garbage to find something edible.
Agreed .
" Dead Cat Bounce " ......." Clusterfuck " ......" CRACK UP BOOM " and all this while the purchasing power of the currency collapses & head's south . Take a look at Argentina and Venezuela in the recent past when both of their stockmarkets were headed to the moon , their currencies were plummeting ( against real metallic money ) . What life-span do you give to the Euro ...?? .MOST TELLING FACT - Not long ago in Venezuela 1 x Ounce of Silver could buy nearly a year's worth of Groceries . WEIMAR ...WEIMAR...WEIMAR ( 1923 ) this is where the Spanish stockmarket ( all stockmarkets & economies ) are ultimately destined for & not long off
Excellent! Thank you, Alex. I have a question for you, so what will this do to the US dollar?
Thank you Hilary. The dollar is doomed, but I don't know if anyone can predict the trajectory. At any rate, I think that the euro and the pound (and yen) will collapse before the dollar does.
Maybe, just maybe, the world will tilt far East enough, that the Asian currencies will expand in value and might be good for small investments: Chinese Renminbi, Thai Baht, and even Russian Rubles. Just a thought. What are yours?
Especially take a look at 1913 ( establishment of the Fed ) and 1971 ( Nixon removes Gold backing from the US Dollar ) and then see how much purchasing power the paper dollar has lost over these periods . Essentially an item which would have cost you $1 x dollar back then
will cost you $ 99 x dollars today .
" Gold is Money - Everything Else is Credit " - As quoted John Pierpoint ( J.P. ) Morgan 1910
It's not so much " What will this do to the dollar " as " What has this already done to the dollar " . What is on the horizon for the Dollar is it's final & ultimate - " Coup de Grace " .
" Coup de Grace " meaning - The ending of something that's gradually been getting worse "
Thank you, Simon.
Allow me to use your word : Ouch!!
Thank you: Alex
Thank you Cleotilde! =)
Your welcome
Meant : you’re
Ever since I read your book on the Browder escapade ,I have grown more and more fond of your writings.If I could upgrade to paid I would .Retired and on fixed income .
My best regards to you.
Thank you Guy and don't sweat the money. It's a tip-jar, nothing here is behind a paywall.
thank you!
Great summary of things to come. Any thoughts on the precipitating event? Non- existent/bad Guilt or French BTF auction?
Hi Carol, no idea what the precipitating event could be. Perhaps a false-flag somewhere in the West.
Internal conflict in Britain and France etc
