Biden's, "Summit for democracy", hypocrisy has no bounds.

 PRESIDENTIAL INITIATIVE FOR DEMOCRACY, JUST MORE FOREIGN MEDDLING AND CHAOS

THE WORLD IS WISING UP TO THIS AGENDA

Joe Biden outlined the agenda at a Presidential initiative for democracy speech. It is just more of the same foreign meddling to create chaos and hopefully the overturning of existing government. He has pledged $690 million dollars to support Democracy around the world. He has also requested congress to approve another $9.5 billion for the U.S. agency for International development under the department of state. The goals are all something we need right here at home and we can be sure it is just more of the same in the struggle for political power not democracy. Authoritarianism is rising everywhere including right here at home. Biden claims that democracy is on the rise, without showing any examples.

The goals are;

"Free and independent media" If we only had an independent major media here.  

"Information integrity"   I expect that is more government control of the approved narrative.

"Fighting Corruption"   What hypocrisy, while he and his family and his party live by corruption. 

"Bolstering Human rights and democratic reforms"  I guess that can mean anything they desire.

"Free and Fair elections" Look out, While we see paper ballots and purple thumbs around the world, We see, right here, mail in voting, ballot harvesting, no identification required, unlimited illegal immigration and access to voting.  I assume this all means the results will be pre determined by the U.S. state department.

The pattern is now obvious, offer money to encourage reform, which is an enticement, and then use that money to undermine the existing government from within. Up to now it has been effective abroad and at home, as the U.S. deficits explode and the chaos they have created has become obvious more nations are just saying NO.

The politics of division began with Obama

 NOT JUST DOMESTIC DIVISION, BUT WORLDWIDE DIVISION

NO EFFORT FOR PEACE OR UNITY

While it is likely to be considered racist or politically incorrect, reviewing the past we conclude that this policy of division was enacted in earnest by the Obama/Biden administration, starting half way through their first  administration. I would expect it took that long to put in place the personell to engage in this policy. Much of this division has been supported by the mainstream media, whether willingly or by coercion.  

While we understand that division has always been a political tool during elections, in the past these tactics evaporated until the next election. They have now become a permanent part of domestic policy and even foreign policy. While we did see a short respite to international division, during the Trump administration, at home, the constant attacks against the Trump administration, using race baiting and white supremacist charges, continued  throughout his term. It resumed in earnest with the Biden administration.

If we recall we saw the Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown incidents that were exaggerated and inflamed with the cooperation of the media, then the attacks on the police, the judicial system and anything that could be blamed on white society. We saw Black Lives matter and Antifa allowed to run wild and create more chaos and division. At home, it has resulted in the lowest credibility and trust in Government institutions and the media in the history of the country. It is not an accident. While some would attempt to blame all that on the Trump presidency, it is not really credible.

The current Biden presidency is in fact the Obama third term, almost all of the appointments are the same as the Obama administration. The policy is just an extension of the policies begun under Obama, but more vehement. Division is the core value of this administration. Division and the diminishing of the United States both at home and abroad.

Under Obama we saw regime change policy on steroids around the world, we saw the overthrow of the government of Ukraine with the help of our meddling. The same people who orchestrated that chaos are still running our foreign policy. While one has to admit this foreign policy began before Obama it has now reached a new level. These people all knew that NATO expansion, if continued, would lead to war and they desired that result. We are now in the process of dividing the world into opposing camps, something that has not been seen in 75 years. We are possibly on the verge of an all out global war. No one can assume this is all an accident, nor to place the blame on Russia and China. 

We see continued meddling in Pakistan, Israel, Hungary, Turkey, Georgia and now India. What can be the result of all this?

We see unbridled illegal immigration, the intentional enabling of criminal elements to run wild, and a constant flow of propaganda and lies, concerning domestic and foreign affairs. Lies are never accidents, it is always intentional. This coupled with a weaponized legal system has indeed created the greatest division in this country with no end in sight.

One has to wonder, where will all this end? What is the motive? Is there a plan or are these people just on a rail that they no longer can control?  No matter, we will all suffer from the results of these policies. 

Some details on Depleted Uranium

 DEPLETED URANIUM IS A ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD

IT IS A CANCER CAUSING PRODUCT

Much talk is occurring about the UK sending depleted Uranium tank rounds to Ukraine. Russia for one is making this an issue because of the environmental and health risks from these munitions. So what do we know, first this is a waste product from nuclear energy industry. It has very little commercial use due to its toxicity. I know this is regulated, and not easy to obtain. At one time, flint lock rifle enthusiasts used to add this to their frizzens to increase the sparks generated for ignition. It is a very hard and dense heavy metal.

The military has been using this material in its armor piercing penetrater rounds. It is slightly better performing than the tungsten used in Russian and other countries military rounds. The advantage is that it is a waste product with very little other use and is less costly than tungsten.

The negative effects can most likely be encountered by tank crews themselves. When such a round is fired, it produces heat and friction which then disperses micro particles into the air and when breathed, can be carcinogens.

Then when this round actually explodes it turns the spent round into thousands of particles that are dispersed into the air and into the soil and water of the battlefield. It will remain an environmental threat far into the future. There are reports of serious increases in cancer in the middle east due to the use of these rounds in the past wars.

So far, this has not been banned as a weapon, but most likely should be, especially since there are alternatives that are close to being as effective.

We can assume that since most of these rounds have been used in foreign battles, it is of little concern of those actually using the rounds. The crews who are exposed to these rounds are at risk.

So, hopefully that will give a little back ground when this topic is brought up and may be another trigger for escalation in Ukraine.

It appears the world is moving on, without the U.S.

 MORE AVOIDANCE, RATHER THAN CONFRONTATION

HAS THE U.S. LOST ITS PRESTIGE AND CREDIBILITY

The United States does in fact have the best economic and political system in human history. If only we could have really lived by it both at home and in our international relations. Sadly, we are no longer that "Light upon the Hill" when our political and economic reality is viewed from a distance. 

While it is true, that millions seek to come here as it is still the best option for opportunity, compared to the rest of the world. The luster is off as far as how we are viewed by much of the world. 

Economically, we have abused our economic standing by devaluing the dollar. It is far from being considered as "good as gold". Many objective observers understand that this country has engaged in a suicidal orgy of deficit spending that has no remedy. The economic policies of this country could only be engaged in by a country whose currency is the Global reserve currency. Which is most likely to soon be a thing of the past. This will happen, not be economic warfare by our enemies, but the disregard for sound economic policy of our political leaders. 

It is a fact that much of the world is interested in an alternative to the dollar as a global currency. Some have suggested that the Yuan or a middle east gold backed currency would be an alternative, but it is now being considered that a different approach should be followed. It seems there are proposals that countries would trade in and accept their own currencies and then have periodic settlements of deficits with the exchange of gold. It would in fact be a sort of gold backed exchange system. I suspect if a country ran large deficits, they would soon be out of gold and then out of business, until they engaged in sound domestic economic policy. It would be a new system that would not be dominated by any one country. Such a system may in fact come into existence in the eastern and southern world. 

Such a system would not be necessarily an attack on those countries who have been running such deficits, but would require them, if they want to do business, to engage in sound economic policies. 

Then there is the view that the United States is no longer the leader in orchestrating peace around the world. After 30 years of war, death and destruction, some are exploring alternatives to advancing world stability.

We see the recent reopening of embassies between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the initiatives from Russia, Iran,Turkey and China to end the decade old war in Syria. Time will tell if these initiatives can convince Iran to stop meddling in other countries affairs in exchange for economic opportunity.

We now see that representatives from France, Spain and the EU are going to Beijing to discuss the Ukraine war. It does appear that much of the world is looking for alternatives to U.S. leadership. Is this a plot to damage the U.S. or just the natural consequences of an unsuccessful foreign policy. A policy that has relied too much on force rather than persuasion and a good example.

The United States needs to get its own house in order before it can be an effective part of the world. We see political prosecutions, the cooperation between the government and the media to suppress free speech, a constant propaganda war that is often based on obvious outrageous lies. Complete abandonment of sound economic policies, often to buy votes or influence social agendas. Not the "Light upon the Hill" that would encourage replicating even by some of the most authoritarian regimes. 

Do not doubt that we are in historic times and it can be expected to see huge changes in the global order. Much has been caused by our own poor policy and triggered the natural consequences of those policies. Will we agree to recognize those mistakes and correct them or will we continue to insist we need to set the world agenda, when we cannot even manage our economic and political stability at home.

Israel needs a written constitution and acknowledgment that it is an apartheid state.

 ISRAELS VERY EXISTENCE REQUIRES IT TO BE AN APARTHEID STATE

STRESS BETWEEN THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND REALITY AND THOSE WHO WANT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT

Israel may be undergoing the biggest threat to the very existence of the state. It is not from its numerous enemies, but from those who do not understand the very existence of this unique state, depends on it remaining a Jewish homeland for Jews. That reality makes it in the politically correct view of many of its citizens, not acceptable. This view is held by many of the secular non religious Jews from the western world.

The Idea of judicial reform has become the dividing cause that has initiated this crisis. The real cause is they have a system of Judges that making rulings based on the mood or the trend expressed by the citizens. Some feel this is an advanced form of democracy, but it is more like chaos without any definition of the role of government. The real answer is Israel needs a written constitution. 

After the war of independence it was assumed Israel would form a constitutionally based government quickly, but it never did happen. Now their judicial system is without guidelines, decisions are based on nothing. It seems this system appeals to many in the western world, who do not like sound and written laws, they would rather have the political flexibility to make it up as they go. Whenever that is the case  you can expect chaos, division and conflict.

So, Israel needs to understand that a written Constitution is the only possible way to move to a unified view of the future. They must also publicly acknowledge that its very existence depends on Israel remaining a Jewish homeland and not just another nation. If Israel would allow immigration of non-Jewish populations they would cease to exist in short order. 

While there is a portion of the population that is non-Jewish and they need to be protected by constitutional provisions, The nation needs to remain a large majority Jewish population to insure its very existence. That is the politically incorrect reality.

Their first priority should be a written constitution, it should be undertaken immediately and when a consensus is obtained it would be the law of the land and the judiciary's role would be to interpret and enforce the law as written.

It seems many are threatening to leave the country, if that is the case, then it should be the option. They have  the freedom to exit at any time. This would then bring about peace and stability and insure the survival of this unique Jewish state.

Donald Trump's mere existence has exposed systemic corruption.

 GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, MEDIA, JUDICIARY ALL GUILTY OF WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION

THE DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY IS FROM WITHIN

From the day that Donald Trump descended on his escalator to announce his candidacy for president there has been an unprecedented attack on him and anyone who has supported him. The extremes that have been engaged in have no comparison in the history of this country. 

First is was the media, often changing a word or context to label him a xenophobe, racist or whatever adjective they could use to damage him. Then as he continued to rise in popularity, it became more intense.

He was declared a dead candidate because he did not genuflect on his knee to John McCann. He was declared a dead candidate when a tape made by the Bush family of a private conversation exploring the reality of a social behavior concerning rich and powerful men was secretly taped years before and stored for many years and then released at a pivotal time.

Then, of course, there was the corruption revealed in the FBI, CIA and State department in cooperation with the Hillary Clinton campign and British Intelligence to first smear the candidate, then to perform a coup of the elected president of the United States. All of it known to be false, all of it engaged in by high ranking members of our government and still no accountability. A highly elaborate hoax that was proven to be known to be false by the FBI before the Trump inauguration.

Then 4 years of internal sabotage by intelligence community people in the White House. Much which should have been considered treason.

I could go on and on, I don't believe there is any agency of this government that has not engaged in corrupt practices. 

Then there was an election with so many instances of concern, where a compromised candidate who rarely came out in public, received the most votes in American history and Donald Trump received 12 million more than in his first election. But no court ever agreed to allow investigation into any of the questions.

Then there is the 51 former intelligence community leaders who signed a Affidavit  lying that the election time Biden scandal was, of course, Russian disinformation. Shameful, then they are paraded out on the major media as experts. Experts in Lying.

Then we watched as democrat affiliated protesters looted and burned the cities of America for over a year and were supported by democrat politicians, then when a similar one time event happened in Washington it was a supposed attempt to overthrow the government. Something that the democrats openly engaged in for 4 years. Now over two years later many of these protesters are still in jail, denied bail and have had their constitutional rights blatantly denied by a corrupt judiciary.

All because a candidate that was not chosen in the usual back door custom of giving people a choice of 2 candidates that will take us down the same road. It is the one time, despite all odds, that there was a candidate actually chosen by the people.

Now 8 years later, a corrupt judicial system that no longer has any credibility, it is actually a political hit team who seem to look for anything, no matter how fare fetched, to claim some law breaking to deny the people the opportunity to vote for a candidate of their choice, rather than the corrupt establishment choice.

It is no surprise that the credibility of the media, the intelligence community and the judiciary are now at an all time low. In fact, if they are speaking about anything that has political implications the odds are that they are lying. This is the real threat to the existence of this country, not Donald Trump, not Russia, not China.

Multi-Polar world economic system becoming reality

 IS IT INTENDED FOR CONFRONTATION OR JUST VOLUNTARY ESTRANGEMENT

THIS MAY BE THE BIGGEST RESULT OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY

Amazingly, the media has ignored the biggest news coming out of the meetings in Moscow between China and Russia. It is clear that besides cooperation on numerous fronts including military security the most important news that it is now becoming reality that the process is underway for the formation of a second global economic system. A system that will replace the medium of exchange of the U.S. dollar with the Chinese Yuan. This will likely be the most important development of the 21st century, at least for now.

While the details are not yet clear, it is understood that there is already a list of countries that will be interested in becoming part of this new system. Particularly the 20 some countries suffering under sanctions from the current system. This will enable an alternative system of settlements of financial transactions.

It is likely that a few NATO and EU countries will also be interested in such an alternative.

While many will focus on the growing separation and division as a security risk to the U.S. and its allies, it does not necessarily need to be so. While I am sure the spin and propaganda are being worked out to condemn any such system as a threat, it may be that many countries are just tired of foreign interference in their internal affairs and  would like to exit this system of having to be part of a system of coercion that encompasses military, economic and social conformity.

The you are either with us or against us policy originating out of U.S. foreign policy has made it almost impossible for any country to just be neutral and not be part of global power politics. Any such stance is immediately labeled as aligning with Russia or China and now that is actually becoming a reality. It is much like being in business in a mob controlled inner city where you are under pressure to pay for protection from the powers that be or be in danger of sanctions or worse.

While there is the risk that the new independent system will become just another copy of the former, with the same pressures and demand for conformity, time will tell if that is the case. But it is obvious that both China and Russia have done a better job of diplomacy and have been successful in building relationships of trust, at least for the present time. 30 years of regime change policies that have resulted in 100's of thousands of deaths, the destruction of numerous countries and the biggest migrations and accompanied disruptions and chaos have become unacceptable, so I assume many feel it is worth the risk. 

It seems that China has now set out on a new path of becoming a leader in attempting to negotiate between numerous camps. They tout they they would like a world of mutual and cooperative prosperity, many a skeptical, but it now seems that this effort is going to at least get an opportunity to find out. 

Such a new system can have many advantages for countries in the east and south, but will most likely come with economic costs to the west, who whether they admit it or not are in fact dependent on many of these countries. Hopefully, there remains a possibility that such a 2 tier system can function without violent confrontation. 

Ukraine has lost 50% of its population in 1 year.

 OFFICIAL UN NUMBERS INDICATE 19.5 MILLION HAVE LEFT THE COUNTRY

THE LONGER THE CONFLICT, THE FEWER WILL RETURN

Ukraine is ruined in more ways than just the loss of territory, infrastructure and economic potential, it is losing its most valuable resource, its people. The United Nations refuge relief agency reports that 19.5 million have crossed the borders to the neighboring countries. This is in itself 45% of the pre-conflict population of 43.8 million. These number are mostly women and children, because all men between 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country. So these are official numbers that do not include the men between 18 and 60 who have also left the country unofficially, and that could also add several million.

Official border crossing are as follows:

Poland       10,168,089

Romania      2,091,044

Russia         2, 852,395

Hungary      2, 350,357

Slovakia      1,239,412

Moldavia        787,594

Belarus             16,705

Then there is the population of the 4 Oblasts now incorporated into Russia, which was 9,450,844. Even if only 50% of the residents remain it will be another loss of at least 5 million people. That would raise the loss to 57%.

Of course, if there were to be peaceful settlement, some or maybe many, would in time return, but as time goes on and the best and brightest find opportunities that are better than what they will have in a return to Ukraine, you can expect their numbers will be decimated for decades to come.

The hopes of Ukraine becoming a prosperous and stable country are likely to be dismal for decades. While the spin is that the world is attempting to save Ukraine and what is happening is all in the defense of democracy and the preservation of Europe from Russian imperialism, the truth is that Ukraine is being sacrificed to fulfill the dreams of a U.S. foreign policy that believes it is the only super power and can shape the world into whatever it should desire. 

It is becoming more evident every day that these dreams will end like so many dreams of empire and control that were the downfall of such ambitions in the past.

Forget protests: citizens can implement their own sanctions.

 NEW YORK CITY SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE TARGET OF FINANCIAL WITHDRAWAL

IF THE ADDRESS IS N.Y.,N.Y, IT SHOULD BE A NO, A HELL NO

We have seen the woke corporations of America parade a long list of boycotts against American citizens by boycotting states who passed election integrity laws, like Disney who endorsed all kinds of sexual perversion and lobbied to have it enforced with law. We have seen this move to collaboration between government and business that is in reality the definition of Fascism.

Now we see New York state and New York city actually perverting the law in yet another attempt to persecute Donald Trump for daring to run against the two parties establishment candidates, who have destroyed our foreign policy and relations with the rest of the world. Who looted the savings and the future of our children by promising money to anyone who will vote for them, bribing politicians at home and abroad and then giving the debt to the next generations of Americans. These are the same people who sold our jobs and dignity of our workers for profits with no view for the future. 

Now Americans have an easy way of saying enough, just refuse to do business with any company with a N.Y.,N.Y. address, this targets just one of the woke capitals of the country. Do you have investments with a company with a N.Y. address there are others in Atalanta, Omaha as alternatives, Is your bank headquartered in N.Y. why not consider a local bank, that is more friendly and gives much better service. 

A one year boycott of all things N.Y.N.Y. will have more effect than all the protests and letter writing. It all goes in the trash or is an opportunity for this perverted government to label you an insurrectionist.  It can all be done in the privacy and safety of your home and can be accomplished in minutes. 

You do not need to go to sporting events or entertainment in N.Y. there are alternatives that are safer and less costly. Even when you buy things online check out their address before deciding, is this who you want to buy from.

We have seen the effects of Americans saying NO, to social media companies, to Disney and others.  It is time to step up the game and New York city is the perfect opportunity. 

U.S. words and actions have now triggered a massive military buildup.

 WHETHER INTENTIONAL OR JUST LOOSE TALK, IT IS  NOW TOO LATE TO STOP

RUSSIA AND CHINA NOW READYING FOR WW3

We hear U.S. generals stating that we will be at war with China by 2025. We hear U.S. politicians call for regime change and the dismemberment of Russia. We hear the constant threat of consequences for anyone who does not submit to U.S. demands. Is this all just threats and bluster? Or is the United States now ready to demand submission by military action? It now doesn't matter, this horse is out of the barn and will most likely not be restrained.

We see an alliance with Australia which will move nuclear submarines to Australia. A clear signal to China that we are preparing for military confrontation.  One must wonder how long it will take to build all these new submarines?  How many can China build in that time?

In Europe, we hear Poland talking of entering the Ukraine war. Is Poland just another proxy of the U.S?  Does Poland have the industrial capacity to go to war with Russia? Or is everyone relying on U.S. industrial capacity to fight a global war. An industrial capacity that is no longer a match for the industrial capacity of China. 

When the Ukraine conflict began Russia had a force of less than 200,000, it never was intent on the conquest and occupation of Ukraine. It was just a last chance effort to insure their security interests. Now Russia has a ready force of near 1 million and has put its industry on a war time footing. It is in fact preparing to fight an all out ground war with NATO.

At the same time the EU and NATO cannot muster enough ammo to supply Ukraine with ammunition. They no longer have the materials or the industry to produce the massive amounts of ordinance being expended by Ukraine, in this up to this point, limited war.

One must wonder what the capacity is of the United States to produce. It seems U.S. ammo makers have had a hard time just keeping up with domestic demand for small arms ammunition. Manufacturing artillery rounds requires vast amounts of materials, powder, copper, brass, explosive materiel. Then the trained and willing work force to engage in the dangerous handling of these materials. Is that even possible to achieve by 2025?  I would bet it is possible for China and maybe even Russia.

Today the president of China is meeting in Moscow with the president of Russia, it is scheduled for 3 days of meetings. It is coupled with a vast entourage of leaders in many fields of cooperation. It is in fact a result of U.S. short sighted and delusional view of the world. A world that it can no longer threaten into submission and now what is going to be the future.

Russia has the resources and technology to supply China with all the raw materials it needs for most any endeavor. China has the industrial capacity to bury the western world in arms and ordinance on an unprecedented scale. Does anyone in our state department or intelligence community know or understand what they have done or even better have any idea how to reverse this course.

Reality is: The U.S. is at war with Russia.

THERE WOULD NOT BE A WAR IN UKRAINE WITHOUT U.S. INTERFERENCE

THE U.S. IS PAYING FOR THIS WAR ALMOST ENTIRELY

We continually hear of the great coalition supporting Ukraine in the war in Ukraine. The reality is the United States is paying for most of the support of Ukraine. 

This week we see that Poland is giving Ukraine around a dozen MIG 29 jets from the 1970's. No one mentions that this is coupled by a promise by the U.S. to replace these with F-16's. It is the reality that most of the equipment given to Ukraine by the NATO coalition is to be replaced with modern equipment from the United States. Ukraine had around 420 MIG 29's at the start of the war. They now have none that are willing or able to fly. Ukraine is now the step child of the United States and will be indefinitely.

Janet Yellen recently went to Ukraine with a check for $10 billion. This was to pay for the salaries of the government workers and the military for approximately 2 months. We are actually paying the pensions of all former government workers.

Ukraine is ruined, It will most likely never be a prosperous country in our lifetime. It will require Trillions of aid for decades to come. It is the battleground for this war between the United States and Russia.

We see a confrontation near Crimea of a U.S. surveillance drone and a Russian jet. We can expect this will not be the last such event. These drones are engaged in the support of this war, they are an active participant in this war. They are engaged in supplying reconnaissance and targeting against Russia. In reality the U.S is a participant in this war. 

This drone, which we say collided with this Russian jet, sounds like a story to cover up the fact that the Russians are working on or have perfected a way to disable these drones electronically, either by disrupting the communications from the controllers or interfering with the navigation electronics. I suspect that it will not be long until these drones will not be of much use.

The frustration is growing in Washington and the NATO countries, there is no end in sight and Ukraine is not going to be able to recover its lost provinces. Even a ground offensive with NATO forces, would be in effect, a U.S. operation and Russia has the advantage in position and logistics. It would not be a short and sure outcome. It would most likely lead to a nuclear confrontation on the homeland of both Russia and  the United States. 

This confrontation has been planned for near 20 years. The goal is regime change of the government of Russia and the dismemberment of Russia into several parts. Parts that can be controlled and exploited in the future. So far, it is not going quite as planned and there is no sure good outcome for anyone.

Beware of financial crisis to be used by the totalitarians.

 

 IS A GLOBAL FINANCIAL MELTDOWN NOW BREWING AGAIN?

A HOUSE OF CARDS THAT CAN COLLAPSE AT ANYTIME?

While everyone is preoccupied with the Ukraine war and woke culture, it appears a far more devastating crisis is brewing. Here's a question, Can you go to your bank today and request to withdraw 5 or 10 thousand dollars in cash? While I know most of the local banks will accommodate you, most of the big national banks will tell you to make a request and you will need to come back later to pick it up. Many of these banks do not have substantial cash on hand. There is in fact only 4% of the total amount of cash entries that actually are backed by paper money. Most everything is just a book entry. Banks at one time needed to keep 10% of deposits on hand, even as a book entry, since the last collapse they do not need to keep any of these funds.

Then it has recently been revealed that the FDIC, the insurer of your bank funds, has $200 billion in assets to cover over $9 trillion in deposits. If there is a crisis, will you be on the list of those who will be actually covered?

It also has been revealed that there is new policy being floated, something that has already happened in other countries, called a BAIL-IN. This is when instead of the Federal reserve bailing out banks that are insolvent, they will be allowed to confiscate depositors money to cover the losses. It may sound far out but is it worth risking your future in trusting that this debt laden economy can survive without someone taking a loss.

Today, if the electric goes out or the internet goes down, the only transactions possible will be with cash. In fact, some big stores will not even function with cash. Do you believe the ATMS are working in Turkey today? That is just a local crisis, but what can happen if there is a real global currency crisis?

Paper currency is in fact worthless, unless someone is willing to accept it for trade, digital entries are even more worthless, unless there is a complicated financial system intact. 

Do you  really believe that the current $32 Trillion Federal debt can ever be paid? Or that the $100 trillion in unfunded mandates can be sustained indefinitely? When the day of reckoning comes, you can bet most of us will lose all paper assets we currently own.

Currently most of worlds governments are carrying huge debts, there is now the real possibility of a change in the global economic system being brought about by a growing number of countries apprehensive of the present system. It is just one of the possible events to collapse this present house of cards of unsustainable debt. Remember, it is unsustainable, it will need to be reset at some point. Everyone will suffer, but some will be able to suffer less, if they take personal action to protect themselves the best they can.

Originally published 2/8/23

Update:

We see that the Silicon valley Bank, labeled a regional local bank, has just collapsed. We see due to its depositors being big donors and supporters of the administration it is to be bailed out even above its insured guarantee. Now there other banks failing and much of this has to do with collapse of the bond market which is going to be complicated by economic warfare being conducted with many bond holders, like China, who hold these bonds.

This is not a failure of capitalism and the U.S. constitution and the intended U.S. system. It is the failure of crony capitalism, which is fascism and the irresponsibility of our elected officials who have spent the last 50 years devaluing the dollar, buying votes with free stuff for the voters and massive corruption in the Federal government.

This collapse is inevitable and we can expect to be told we need a new system with more government control of every facet of human life and a departure form this constitution, which if followed, has provided the the success of this United States.

Do not be deceived, we can expect crisis to be an opportunity by the authoritarian and totalitarians in our government to at last transform this country into a totalitarian government. 

Are Nations moving away from the United States?

 MAYBE NOT SEEKING CONFRONTATION, BUT SEPARATION

ALL RELATIONS BECOME DIFFICULT WHEN TRUST IS LOST

We daily observe that many nations who have been our allies are now considering not having close ties with the United States. It seems many would like to just have the choice to negotiate their own future independent of any big power ties. It also seems that when pressure is applied, to be either for us or you are against us, it is not enough for compliance.

After WW2 the United States enjoyed military and economic domination of most of the world. Militarily, our only competition was a nuclear armed Soviet Union. Economically, the United States was the undisputed industrial capital of the world. We had a reputation of honest dealing and a trust that was acquired from years of reliable sound practices. We did not have to threaten or intimidate nations to cooperate with us, most were more than willing, because it was viewed as a win win  situation. The dollar became the world's reserve currency, replacing the British pound. It was not by force, but because it had a reputation as being as "Good as Gold"and until 1971 was backed by Gold. It was the great society spending and the Viet Nam war that created the destabilizing of the dollar due to high inflation. It is no coincidence that our last balanced budget was in 1969. 

The Soviet Union was an ideological adversary that believed in evangelizing and spreading communist ideology around the world. The United States had a policy of resisting communist expansion. It was tested in Korea, and then Viet Nam were we embraced the domino theory of communist expansion. The theory was that if Viet Nam fell it would be followed by a communist takeover of all of southeast Asia. Americans generally endorsed this theory except for the already Marxist professors in our universities.

Eventually Communism, were it was accepted, failed. It is a system that denies the natural inclination of human self interest. It is a failed ideology. Today we see no successful nations living under pure communist rule. The Soviet Union, in effect, rejected Communism, the communist Chinese have grown rich and powerful by embracing capitalism, even while still exerting strong government control. The only real bastions of communism are in south and central America and they are nothing to be seen as examples of success. Its twin ideology of Democratic Socialism is also a failed ideology, that is now near its end.

The strongest support for Marxist communist theories are now in the United States, many in positions of the government and academia.

So, today we see a United States who has lost the ability to balance a budget,  who even in peace time increased its debt to levels that are now unsustainable. The dollar, while still the worlds reserve currency is in decline due to just plain inflation and depreciation of the buying power of the dollar. Other nations are working on replacing the dollar with a more sound currency that is not continually declining in value.

This debasing of the dollar and also using the financial system dominated by the United States to pressure conformity by other nations through sanctions has now come to a critical time where the dollar is about to be eclipsed by other forms of international settlements. When that happens the decline of the United States will  no longer be a theory, but reality.

It is understood that threat to the dollar is a threat to the United States, but rather than addressing the root cause of the dollar's demise, our leaders in Washington seem to believe they can continue this control of world events, not by sound trusted practices but by force. A theory that has consistently failed in all of Human history.

Peace initiatives in Middle East without the U.S.

 IRAN/SAUDI ARABIA RECONCILIATION A BIG HOPE FOR PEACE

IT COULD USHER IN NEW ERA IN REGION

It has been reported that Iran and Saudi Arabia have reestablished diplomatic relations, something that has been curtailed for 7 years. While it is very early to know what the end result is, it is very likely that Iranian support for the rebels in Yemen has been discussed. The negotiations were conducted by China as the mediator. 

Iran has been a disruptor in the middle east ever since the Islamic fundamentalist revolution in 1979. It has been active in hoping to spread fundamentalism across the region and has supported revolutionaries and terrorists in the middle east and Africa. Iran is a Shia Muslim country and Saudi Arabia is a Sunni Muslim country. Historically these factions have co-existed in the past, and this move may signal a lessening of tensions in the region.

At one time, Saudi Arabia was the leading supporter of terrorism worldwide, while not necessarily the government, but wealthy members of the country. Much of that action has been curtailed since the new leader Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud took over in 2020. He froze assets and arrested some of the royal family and demanded an end to support of foreign meddling.  There has been a marked decrease in worldwide terrorism. He has also been instrumental in supporting the Abraham accords while not actually a member at this time. He may believe that better relations with Iran are more important at this time than alienating Iran over this question. Better relations with Iran could have a strong influence overall in the region.

This new development and the initiatives by Turkey to plan to remove its troops from Syria and negotiate some kind of peace with Syria are very important developments in this region. There is also growing pressure for the United States to stop its campign of regime change in Syria and remove it troops from that country. There have been ongoing talks between Syria, Russia, Turkey, China, Iran, the EU and other regional governments in Kazakhstan since 2017. They are in the process of developing a constitution and elections for the future of Syria.

There is no coincidence that all these countries in the region are considering being part of the BRICS economic group that is moving to create an economic system independent of western control.  It seems there is a growing movement focusing on economic benefits to the region, rather ideological division.

While this will be alarming to some, it may replace 30 years of war with mutual beneficial economic cooperation.

2023 shaping up to pivotal historic year.

 SERIOUS CONCLUSIONS TO SEVERAL CRISIS EXPECTED

UKRAINE, BIPOLAR TRADE PACTS AND DEBT

It seems that 2023 is likely to be a pivotal year in world history. First is the Ukraine war, which now is reaching a make or break turning point. In the last month, February, it is reported that Ukraine lost 11,000 soldiers. It is also reported that they are now losing around 1000, a week. Many of these casualties are new recruits or conscripts who, according to Newsweek, have a life expectancy of around 4.5 hours after they reach the front. The pivotal battle now going on has the Russians very close to completely encircling the Ukrainian forces. It appears that it is only a matter of time, until the Ukrainian soldiers realize that the end is near, even when their political leaders refuse to face reality. It may very well result in a sudden collapse of resistance, that will also most likely result in a collapse of the present government. 

The only counter to this result is a NATO intervention with western troops, any such intervention would be a very dangerous gamble that at present will be resisted by the Europeans.

Then there is the possibility of a attack on Moscow by the U.S. to eliminate Putin and his administration. That would lead to WW3 for sure.

The fact is, the present situation is not sustainable into next year, the European economies are struggling to maintain and the cost to its citizens is far worse than anything experienced by the U.S. population. This war will need to be concluded soon. 

Indications are that the blame for failure is going to be placed on Zelensky and his government, who it seems are mostly situated with alternative places to flee to when the time comes.

If this war, which is essentially a U.S. Russian conflict, ends in failure, it will most likely cause the collapse of NATO as we know it. While it may not cease to exist, the Europeans will not be inclined to give Washington blanket decision making power in the future.

The second big trend is the now quickly materializing of a second world economic system made up of countries from the east and southern part of the world. Much of the impetus for this is the depreciating of the dollar by deficit spending in the U.S. and the economic use of sanctions by the U.S.. on anyone who refuses to submit to their demands. This forming block will encompass half the worlds population and would threaten the present financial domination of the west. It is actually a far more serious threat than the Ukraine war. There is no effort being made to maintain the value of the dollar or to restrain deficit spending, this move will happen, even though it may take a few more years to be completed.

Then there is the unsustainable debt being created by the U.S. government. It is a ticking time bomb that has been put off for years, with paper shuffling, zero interest rates, and quantitative easing. It may now be time that all those quick fixes have run out credibility and this problem will need to be dealt with. There is no easy or painless remedy.  Increasing taxes enough to lower the debt, or even balance the budget, would cause a collapse of this vulnerable economy. Decreasing spending enough to have an effect would do the same.  We will soon have to pay for the last 50 years of deficit spending.

We are undoubtedly living in historic times, it seems there is no escaping the chaos to come.

Congress should find out, "Who blew up the Pipeline"

U.S. GOVERNMENT LEAKS "RED HERRING" STORY ABOUT WHO DONE IT

WATER GETTING TOO HOT TO ADMIT THE TRUTH

So, yesterday, shortly after German leader Scholz visits Washington, simultaneous stories are aired by the U.S. and German newspapers about a Pro-Ukrainian group who blew up the Nord-stream pipeline. Supposedly the New York Times quotes anonymous U.S. intelligence sources as the source. It seems the revelations from Seymour Hersh are giving both U.S. and German leaders some heat from many sources.

After all, terrorism and sabotage are supposed to be illegal in both countries and by international law. It seems that many in Washington are convinced that, being they are the big fish, they can do as they please, but they are now less likely to brag about it as they were a few weeks ago. 

Same goes for Scholz, if it is determined that he knowledge of this, he can expect to be out office in a very short time.

While the New York times just blames some Ukrainians, the Germans even say they know about a yacht and Ukrainians with fake passports, but cannot identify anyone. 

Interesting, that Seymour Hersh had all the details, details that were embarrassing to the administration and so, it is discounted by much of the media, especially since his story was told in alternative media, not that endorsed as real by the big fish. 

This attempt to lie some more is just part of the typical pattern of misinformation that has now become the norm. Just double down, never admit that you are bunch of liars. After all, the public is just a school of suckers, sucking up whatever excrement you dish out. 

This whole affair can be solved, If congress was not just a school of guppies, rather than the sharks they pretend to be, they could easily convene congressional investigation. Then they have all the tackle and hooks they need to follow Mr. Hersh's story to where it all leads. 

This is going to be a test for the Republican house, to see if they are real or just hanging on to the big fish and going along for the ride. The truth does matter, and if they don't go after the truth, then we will know the truth about them.

This is a whopper of a story, bigger than Iran-Contra, bigger than many stories that the fake media and congress has spent millions and years investigating. The rod is now in the hands of congress, all they need to do is set the hook and real that trophy fish in.

Student Loan forgiveness, just a political ploy.

 CYNICAL POLITICAL TACTIC FOR THE NEXT ELECTION

PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE LEGAL POWER TO SPEND OR FORGIVE DEBT BY EXECUTIVE ORDER

Recently the supreme court has heard challenges to the Presidents executive order forgiving student debt. If the court abides by the constitution, which I expect it will, this order will be overturned. This will be used by the democrats to attack republican states and others that challenged this order and also be used to undermine the court.

Student loans at one time were held by individual banks and lenders and were guaranteed by the federal government. Under the Obama administration most all student debt was moved to the federal government. This was an obvious step to set up this present debate over student debt. It is unlikely that debt owed to private lenders will be forgiven, just debt owed to the federal government. This is of course a roundabout to make college free for more people.

There is no authority for the President to make such an order. It could be possible if it was approved by congress but any such forgiveness would open a can of worms for decades to come. What about the debt owed to private lenders? What about the debt owed to family members? What about the debt that has been paid through hard work and sacrifice? 

The federal government should not be in the money lending business, every time they do, it leads to bad loans, bailouts and discrimination. The standards are always lowered for political purposes and the losses absorbed by the responsible members of society. Government student loans is just another example of everything becomes a political tool.

In the 2020 election this was a campaign strategy to get student loaner votes, buying votes in reality. This year when it is stricken by the court it will again be used as a campign strategy to target uncaring republicans and a court that is against the students. Most likely not really caring about the students, just using them for political purposes. The present strategy is always political opportunity first.

The ongoing tragedy of Ukraine.

 INTERNAL DIFFERENCES MAGNIFIED BY OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE

THE RESULT OF THE DENIAL OF THE RIGHTS OF OPPONENTS

While we witness the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine we must recognize that it is the result of an ongoing internal dispute about the direction of the country. While we are told this tragedy is all the fault of an "unprovoked attack by Russia", the truth is far more complicated. The above map is the election result of 2010 in which Viktor Yanukovych won with 48% of vote compared to 45% of the vote by his opponent.. It was a very contested election with many accusations of voter fraud and other disputes.

After the break-up of the Soviet Union, Ukraine became a independent country. Its history and population is as diverse as many other countries around the world. Eastern Ukraine is predominately a Russian speaking population and the industrial heartland of the country. Western Ukraine is populated by the intellectual elites of the country, who are more inclined to identify with western Europe. Western Ukraine's population mostly sided with NAZI Germany in WW2, the eastern part the Soviet Union. 

After independence, a struggle ensued for the direction of the country,. the west wanted to become part of the EU. and negotiations were conducted in that direction. One of the sticking points was that if accepted, Ukraine could not freely trade with Russia. This was problem in eastern Ukraine as that most of its business was conducted with Russia and much of Russia's military industry was based in eastern Ukraine. While this was a hurdle, it could have been negotiated.

This dispute over EU membership and then speeches by U.S. presidents and politicians urging Ukraine membership in NATO became another area of dispute within the country, with eastern Ukraine against any such militarily alliance. 

Then there was the the intellectual western part of the country pushing for the adoption of a policy of creating a unique Ukrainian culture separate from the traditions and cultural ties in other parts of the country. One part was the outlawing of speaking Russian, the elimination of cultural symbols and monuments of the former Soviet Union even the military monuments for the dead from WW2. all these issues were simmering for years before the Ukrainian revolution of 2014.

In 2014, these issues coupled with lots of support from the west, including the United States orchestrated by Victoria Nuland and $5 billion dollars of U.S. money culminated in the overthrow of the Ukrainian government and the ouster of  Yanukovych, who was labeled as a Russian Puppet. Yanukovych was elected and supported by much of eastern Ukraine, this brought about the declaration of independence by several eastern provinces and the outbreak of a civil war. It also resulted in an election in Crimea that brought Crimea back into the the Russian federation.

A peace was negotiated between Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France that was called the" Minsk agreements" that promised to protect the rights of minorities and ethic Russians in eastern Ukraine, it was never implemented and a continuous shelling and of eastern Ukraine continued until 2022.

Then in 2021 Yelensky gave a speech in which he declared that there would be an all out effort to retake Crimea and bring eastern Ukraine into compliance by any means including military force. There was then a buildup of troops moving into eastern Ukraine and a reciprocal build up of Russian troops on the border. The rest is recent history.

It has been revealed by Angela Merkel and Macron of France that the Minsk accords were never a serious endeavor and it was just a tactic to arm and train Ukraine for war with Russia.

Before this war commenced Russia proposed a security arrangement the would have not prevented Ukraine becoming a part of the EU, but was vehemently against any more expansion of NATO to its border. This has been clearly stated as its position for years. It could have provided for a militarily neutral Ukraine with the ability to trade with the west and Russia, it was soundly rejected by the United States and its allies. There position is that Russia will not have any say as to who will be a member of NATO. 

It is unlikely that Ukraine will be a viable and prosperous country in our lifetime, it is now solely a dependent on the support of the United States and its allies, at least until they find another crisis more engaging.

 

China now focus of negative narrative.

 ADD CHINA TO THE LIST WITH PUTIN, RUSSIA, TRUMP, MUSK

FORMING PUBLIC OPINION SEEMS TO BE STILL EASY

This week saw the escalation of the rhetoric against China. It is now becoming the number 1 enemy of the U.S. and I suspect democracy. While we have many reasons to be concerned with China, most of those issues were addressed by former President Donald Trump. At that time, it was outrageous for Trump to speak negatively about China. He was Xenophobic and a racist, now anything goes and the coordinated effort is pervasive. One would hope that Americans will soon see the pattern of propaganda and how coordinated it is to form public opinion for the moment, I suspect for some political purpose.

As for Wuhan lab and COVID-19 don't forget this research was funded by the United States and similar research is still going on in other countries, including the United States and Ukraine. 

It is true that China is an economic competitor that was created by the U.S. trade polices that was motivated by greed. It may also be true that China has a China first policy that ignores much of the western worlds view of how China should behave. China is making decisions based on the self interest of China. Actually, that is why we had countries in the first place. 

Trump attempted to rein in China's trade abuses and was demonized for it. At the same time he talked nicely to China, admitting that this imbalance was the fault of the United States, not concerned with the consequences of favoring China with unbalanced trade deals. I suspect that China, which has a long term view of things, rather than the next election cycle, anticipated that the point would come when it would face a backlash from the United States when it eclipsed the United States with its manufacturing abilities.

So now we are in the process of rather than facing China as an economic competitor, we are creating a military enemy. While this may be lucrative for the worlds military industries, it is again not a good long term policy. Talking tough and trash talking a country with the history, culture and negative experience of the past dealings with western governments will most likely set China on an arms race and military expansion that can not be countered by the West. While some believe that manufacturing will now return to the United States, it will not. The U.S. is hamstrung by regulations and policies that have not only made business difficult, it has also, by its socialist policies destroyed this generations work ethic. If this country set out to rekindle the business opportunity and work ethic that made this the greatest industrial power of the past, it would take at least 20 years for that to become reality. I see no indication that anyone in Washington even considers such a change in direction. 

What we see is our delusional leaders embark on a propaganda campaign to form public opinion against China. They believe that perception becomes reality, which it seems to be true in political campaigns, but is just a joke when it comes to adversarial dealings with large foreign powers. We are indeed governed by leaders with the long term  mentality of immature women and children. 

Is the U.S. the latest target of "Color Revolution"?

 OR HAS IT ALREADY TAKEN PLACE?

ARE WE REALLY STILL A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE

While the U.S. security state has been in the business of toppling governments extensively after WW2, it reached its perfection in the late 1990's to the present time. Much of this was aided by social media being used to communicate and organize in a quick and effective way. While much of the tactics are internal disruption and creating chaos, if military power is needed to finish it off it is always available. We have seen non military action in places like Egypt and Pakistan, but if needed like Libya and Syria it has been employed from outside by air support of foreign countries or paid rebels like in Syria and Libya.

The Ukrainian color revolution and the ouster of their elected leader in 2014, were mostly accomplished by internal means. The recent overthrow of the leader of Pakistan was accomplished by internal political means similar to the attempted coup in the United States from 2016 to 2020. It is accomplished by a coordinated propaganda campaign to discredit the elected officials often accompanied by a flurry of false corruption or other legal efforts. Many of these efforts have been to simply replace the present leadership without actually transforming the government.

The success of these tactics around the world has created chaos and often thousand of deaths and economic destruction. 

One must wonder what is the cause of the chaos we are witnessing in the United States. We see coordinated effort to censor free speech, we see intentional efforts to undermine the law and peace of civilian life by policies that encourage law breaking and violence. Murders in this country are souring and the percent of solved cases is now only 50%, as the police are becoming overwhelmed and intimidated by the courts and legal system. The police in many areas are in trouble, unable to recruit quality candidates, standards are being lowered that will undoubtedly lead to corruption and abuse. This creates one kind of chaos that is intentional and will disrupt life in this country.

Then there is the unlimited invasion of immigration without any restraint. It is often large numbers of dependents, women and children who will unlikely ever be able to be self supporting. Also those whose profession is criminal enterprises such as drug trafficking, and human trafficking and sexual slavery. These immigrants are in the process of overloading our social safety net, hospitals and schools and will  lower the standards in all these services. Is this just an accident? Is this just incompetence? Or the plan to discard out present system of government with what will eventually be offered as a solution.

 Of course there is the overwhelming of our borders with dangerous drugs killing near 100,000 yearly and destroying lives and families.  Does anyone really doubt the that there is massive corruption in the Federal, State and even local police and political officials who are taking cartel drug money, similar to what we have witnessed in Mexico and Columbia.

I could go on with many more examples, like the undermining of education with a focus on unhealthy and dangerous lifestyles and attitudes to our Constitution and history. The loss of faith in our politicized judicial system and the declining respect for the institutions that need the support of the citizens.

Then there is the unbridled deficit spending that erodes the value of your hard work and savings and will inevitably lead to a disastrous economic crisis. I am sure we will be sold a solution that requires more government and less freedom.

Is all this just coincidence? Or is this country in the midst of or have we already been the subject of these tactics that have been used around the world to overthrow the government of the people and replace it with a government for the elite masters.

Update on Covid-19, China and Dr. Fauci

     LOTS OF QUESTIONS, FEW ANSWERS AND NO ONE IS ASKING THE BIG QUESTION

WHY?

We have been hearing about Covid-19 everyday for the last 18 months. We know that it is a unique disease that seems to have much different results depending on the victim. We still do not know the long term effects of this disease or the long term effects of the vaccines developed to prevent it.

We do know that it became a pandemic in Wuhan, China in the latter parts of 2019. There could have been earlier cases in that part of China, but this has yet to be proven. It is claimed to be a virus originating in bats. 

It is no coincidence that the Wuhan institute of virology has been experimenting on these virus's from bats since 2014 or possibly sooner. It has even been claimed that this institute received money from Ecohealth alliance in 2014.  Ecohealth alliance  received $3.07 million from the National Institute of Health headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci. Ecohealth and the Wuhan Institute were collaborating on studying these bat virus's and Wuhan institute received $600,000 from Ecohealth.

It has also been reveled the the Pentagons biological defense branch has given $40 million to Ecohealth alliance.

Humans as a rule have severe aversion to bats, maybe only slightly less than snakes. Why is this Bat Virus of so much interest to these researchers? Has anyone asked that question ?

The other issue is that it has been reported that they were conducting Gain-of-Function experiments with these bat virus's. This means that they were experimenting to make these virus's communicable to humans, which usually are not. Again, WHY?

In the early days of this pandemic, everyone swore this virus was not Lab created. Thy did leave open the possibility that it escaped from a lab. But now there are more scientists questioning that this virus may have been manipulated to be communicable to humans. Why would anyone want to do this?

The Chinese have denied anything to do with this virus, in the early days they claimed it was not transferable to humans, but they locked down all of Wuhan province. They locked down all travel from Wuhan to the rest of China, but allowed flights in and out of Wuhan to the rest of the world. Why?

We have spent the last 18 months dealing with the results of all this.

In the beginning Fauci insisted masks were of no use and possibly dangerous for public use. Then we were mandated to wear masks continuing until today. I am afraid that Fauci is a bureaucrat first and a researcher second. He has made so many statements to so many people that no one can keep up with the contradictions. Did his cooperation with this research have anything to do with his reluctance to be honest with the country. Or has he just been overwhelmed by his new popularity.

After the inauguration, Biden stopped any investigation into the origins of the virus. Now he has given the intelligence community 90 days to investigate. 90 days, sounds like just an attempt to say they checked it out and there is nothing there. Just like so many investigations.

The question is, Why all the research into a bat virus. What does this bat virus do to humans that has the researchers so interested? What is the intended use of such a virus? These are questions no one is asking.

Originally published 6/10/21.

Update 9/8/21

 In the last few days it has been confirmed with evidence that Fauci did in fact know about this research, Knew that it was being manipulated to be communicable to humans. He blatantly lied to questioners in congress under oath. WHY?  Will anyone really find the answers to these question?

One other question. It has been confirmed that humans do gain natural immunity by being infected with this virus. Why have we not developed a vaccine using traditional methods of using a dead or weakened virus? This has been the usual method of vaccination for decades.  Why are we relying on a genetically manufactured type of vaccine that has never before been used?

Update 3/1/23

We are now hearing that they are finally admitting this virus was released from the Wuhan Lab, It seems many in the government would like this to all go away. Recently the University in Boston was ecstatic that it had created a coronavirus that was much more deadly and much more communicable, again Why? Who is paying for this research in Boston?  Obviously, again, we are not being told the truth about much of this.
