If you can’t see the agent getting hit in the video, there’s just nothing else to argue about. You live in an alternate reality.

you’re right about the skittles and the knee-jerk sympathies of the ((media))

and yes, I can see where he was struck by the vehicle, but I’ll give you my take on that, fwiw.

He could see that the other agent was ordering the provocateur out of her vehicle. He understood, as we all do, that in situations like that, there is the possibility that the person may try to gun the gas, and flee the scene, and so I think he positioned himself at the front of her SUV, to block her from leaving, but he did so in such a way that he could both, shoot her, if she tried to leave, but also in such a way as to allow himself to move out of the way, if she continued to drive away.

Because he was at the corner of her vehicle, and not directly in front of it, when she gunned the gas, I don’t think he was in imminent danger, I suspect his position was deliberate and calculated to give him a pretext for deadly force, while also allowing him to avoid serious injury to himself.

That, fwiw, it how it all looks to me.

If so, I suppose the shooting was not justified, if I’m right about what happened. But then I have no way of knowing if that’s what he was doing, or what was going through his mind.

But this issue is far, far wider than just that person’s death.

This country is at war. We saw that with the BLM rioters, burning and looting and murdering, to the indifference of our nation’s highest law enforcement, and support of the media, (‘mostly peaceful protests, blah, blah).

In a way, this shooting is like Kyle Rittenhouse, with the people who were supporting Kyle, being the people who now support the ICE agent, because these are the ‘law and order’ people, who don’t approve of burning and looting, just as now they don’t approve of a lawless, open border.

Vs. those who supported the BLM rioters, and now support the ICE protesters, because this country is ‘racist’, blah, blah.. and so the BLM rioters were the good guys, and the ICE protesters are the good guys, and when they block vehicles, they’re doing good. But if an ICE agent blocks a vehicle, he’s bad.

There are very few people who are utterly objective about what happened. It’s all relative, and all depends on their respective perspectives, and sympathies.

“ You live in an alternate reality.”

In the world of AI, we have to accept that we all live in an alternate reality. The comments of littlereddot cast a real shadow of doubt over the authenticity of the video.

If the video is real, then all we can say is that she got what she deserved.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time that we see American security forces act in an unhinged way. In contrast, I remember the German policemen pointing his gun at the Iraqi who charged his car into the Christmas market last year. The restraint of the German policeman was outstanding, yelling on the man to leave his car for more than one minute without shooting. That I consider to be a security agent acting with restraint.

I want the Taiwanese people to be happy and free from the totalitarian dictatorship they would have to endure under CCP.

Obviously you are not very familiar with China and their historical forms of government. And you certainly are unfamiliar with the KMT’s so-called White Terror, from ’49 through ’92. I say that because if you understood history, you wouldn’t write something as ridiculous.

BTW, what cannot mainland people do that those in Taiwan can? I guess some of the moral stuff. Homosexualism is an open thing in Taiwan– the Chinese Communists frown upon those whose idea of ‘freedom’ means taking it up the back passage, and then lobbying normal folks to accept that lifestyle in all aspects of public life (including schools).

On the other hand, Taiwan still sends people to prison for illegal drugs– no difference there. So unless you are a queer activist, I’m not sure what kind of ‘happiness and freedom’ you are talking about.

Maybe you are talking about voting? I guess in China you can’t vote for the AIPAC approved candidate from both parties. Like you can in the ‘free’ US of A. And in China, the government doesn’t turn on Jewish interests. You won’t see high ranking members of the Political Bureau traveling to Israel to don the small hat. So American ‘happiness and freedom’ has that going for it, over China.

Really, the idea that anyone in the US, or West in general, should care about China’s internal political situation is something I can’t hope to understand. Especially with the West in such rapid (and probably terminal) decline. What’s China and Taiwan to us? Unless the idea is about places to exploit.

I did see the video from different angles posted in X. The ICE officer was not within the line of the car.

The facts on the ground should be well debated in a court of law once all evidences are exposed.

“Do you still believe Chauvin was leaning on Floyd’s neck?”

From a video that I watched, it looked like Chauvin was totally innocent of all charges against him. The video recorded all the standoff with Floyd, maybe from the helmet camera of one of the policemen involved. But the media had already pronounced Chauvin guilty and the court procedure did not base itself on real evidence. Chauvin’s trial was political.

“ you’re seeing this shooting through ideological lenses.”

I regret to inform you that I do not subscribe to any political ideology. Having lived long enough to see how authorities behave in so many different countries, I found myself with maturity drawn to the side of anarchy. Still I believe in the right of everyone to a fair trial even though the judiciary is by and large corrupt in America.

Read the case of Martin Armstrong with the New York courts and it should be an eye opener.

china should invoke the the enemies states clause, article 107, with japan, at the same time the russians should do the same with germany. if these loser fascist states don’t back down, russia should send an oreshnik to ramstein, at the same time the chinese should test some new technology on yokota air base.

now of course china and russia are civilized nations, with long and storied histories, that are attempting to bleed out the beast, through the death of a thousand financial cuts, a rather noble approach, at least for the rest of the world. that said, a synchronized approach such as the one aforemention, would total dumfound the western behemoth, who wouldn’t know whether to shit or wind its watch. now, if iran were to hit israeli bases at the same time, their big fat heads would explode.

who knows maybe korea would want to send a message as well, to the osan airbase, where their little sister to the south, is currently serving as a comfort woman, to the bloated hegemon. perhaps this could become some tiktok challenge, to countries all over the world. the u.s. sees 800 military bases, all over the world as a sign of strength, i see it as an extreme liability. it’s time for the ugly american to go home.

The West is totally controlled by Jewish Power.

In what sense?
Many parents would say they are totally controlled by their baby. In some sense, definitely true. What parents could and could not do would be greatly limited by the needs and wants of the their baby. But at the same time, the parents have absolute control on every aspect of latter’s life, realistically speaking.

Given that Jews only comprised a small percentage of people in the West, it is unlikely that Jews could control the West like parents control their baby. Rather, it is more like “parents are totally controlled by their baby.”

Or more realistically speaking, the West, with their bad democratic governments, allow some Jews to exert extra-ordinary influence of the West.

The most potent weapon is the truth.

The truth is that some Western nations, especially the US, desperate need to reform their democratic systems. The main issue is whether the people dare or allowed to examine their system and improve it. The other problem in the US is Christian-Zionists.

“Chinese should ask the whites, “who opened up your borders?” “who run media and academia and promoted anti-white politics?” “who promoted the pornification of culture, which now affects even Disney, where white girls are commodities to be bought and sold?” “who control finance and raped the economy?” “which ethnicity are the Sacklers?” “who turned all your politicians into whores and flunkies of a foreign country?” and etc.

If China can shoot missiles but cannot state these facts or pose certain questions, it’s just as lame as Russia. Big tough guy with fists but mute with lips.”

Both Russia and China know who rules the West. So if either country calls a spade a spade, the result will be a direct confrontation with the West. Both countries saw how the core of Western power, USA and England, were dragged into war with Germany and joined hands later with the detested communists in Jewish/Bolshevik dominated USSR to destroy Germany for exposing Jewish machination to the open.

Should total war break out, despite Russian and Chinese efforts to avoid it, and should the West lose, then the Russians and the Chinese will not shy away from exposing the Zionist/Jewish responsibility for the mayhem. And the Western White race might finally muster the will to clean house once and for all.

Indeed Putin tried very hard to have peaceful and economically fruitful relations with the West. Starting from his proposal to Clinton to have Russia join NATO all the way to the Minsk Agreements, all he got from the West was nothing more than treachery.

As the French saying goes “better late than never”. It took Putin many years to have his epiphany about the crooked character of Western powers, but Russia has finally decided to turn her back to Europe and North America. China is one big winner, getting little competition from Westerners for Russia’s resources and the West has shot itself in the foot.

As for Putin’s little vanities like high heals and facial buttocks, I can dismiss that little flaw in his character as having nothing to do with good governance. At least I have never seen him display the megalomania that typifies many Western leaders, Trump being the quintessential example.

The U.S. is supposed to be a society that bases itself on the law of the land. The lady who got shot by an ICE imbecile was not supposed to be there and should have ceded to the instructions of the ICE agents. But clearly the goon was not acting in self defense. He could have shot the tyres of the car or simply taken the number of the plate for later prosecution. He has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. In the Wild West even sheriffs took the due care of giving a suspect the right to a fair trial.

This is a slippery slope, that left unchecked, could lead to civil war.

Thoughtful and knowledgeable people have been saying and making the same points for years. All of what you write is borne out by observable facts and evidence. Putin actually is a consensus leader. His group of ministers, the Federal Security Council and the Duma air out completely new initiatives and actions before hand, attempting the greatest consensus. Putin then is allowed to make the final executive decision. None of his decisions and edicts are not without majority and substantial backing and agreement from The Siloviki and the democratic representatives.

It helps to have super competent people occupying high positions of power and responsibility. The Russians and Chinese governments require senior people with decades of experience to be qualified for positions of consequence and importance. In an auditorium of officials where Putin is making an important speech, you see the high officials that are usually middle aged, with a comportment that is dead stone serious, and also very deadly for enemies of Mother Russia. No clowns or goof balls with academic bullshit certification, no private equity emissaries, etc., as found dispersed in the entire West, Which Was The Best.

Russia cannot be conquered. Ever. When Russia first started the Special Military Operation, Scott Ritter said that NATO has already lost. Ritter knows Russia better than almost any other Russian analyst. He was joined in this opinion by other, independent analysts.

“ Why did Caracas go so well? Because the CIA had agents all over the country, because they paid off the officers in the military. Why could Russia have not done the same? ”

1- Kiev is the origin of the Rus. In 1240 the Rus had to abandon Kiev after the Tartars burned it. Putin is steeped in history and a nostalgic, and destroying Kiev in a shock and awe operation like that the Americans implemented against Baghdad, would amount to an insult to the history of the Rus.

2-Ukraine is overloaded with Russian agents that feed the Russian intelligence. Putin was keen from day one of the S.M.O to leave an olive branch at Ukraine’s reach. Two months after the start of the Russian operation, the two sides were about to sign a deal in Istanbul that would have spared both parties much blood and tears. But the British sent their neocon Boris Johnson to sabotage the deal by promising the stooge Zelensky unlimited support and leaving the crook salivating for the lucre that comes with it.

3- Putin is a lawyer and never takes any action without strict observance to its legal ramifications. If he were as crude as Khrushchev, he would have put the fear of a nuclear confrontation at the heart of Westerners hellbent for centuries to grab the wealth of Russia. Putin’s cautious approach was interpreted as weakness by the West which encouraged the Western alliance to cross every red line Putin drew.

4- Russia acting in a cavalier imperial way would have cost her the support of the global South.

5-Failing European states at the edge of financial collapse are not the least interested in a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. They bet the house on defeating Russia and failed to do so and have no option but to double down.

Should Putin suffer a coup at the hands of Russia’s version of neocons, whatever new Russian leader to replace Putin would resort to the kind of indiscriminate force that will simply wipe out Ukraine from the map and he could risk igniting a third world war that Putin has been diligently trying to avoid.

Putin is the only adult in the room. Let us pray that his methodical approach spares the world a nuclear catastrophe.

“Obey or Die!”

ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered citizen Renee Good in because he got annoyed at her for ‘disrespecting his authoritay’.

She was trying to leave, she backed-up while agents shouted conflicting commands at her, and Ross circled like a hyena with his phone recording her. (The wife apparently taunted Ross as fat.)

Ross pulled his gun before the car was moving forward. Good turned the wheel AWAY from Ross and slowly drove forward and right NOT hitting him.

He fired three shots at close range – the first went diagonally through the windshield, the final two shots went through the open drivers side window at a range of about 2 feet into her head while the car moved slowly passed him, killing her instantly. (Her dead body pushed down on the accelerator as the car moved away from everybody – falsely claimed as ‘flooring it’ towards the agent.)

Ross’s immediate reaction was to call her dead body “fucking bitch” and then just walk off calmly, no remorse, no adrenalin, and not hurt at all.

He made a hand signal like winding-up to leave, and while observers shouted “don’t let the murderer leave” he mumbled “call 911” (WTF ? he has ‘Police’ written on his chest, and has a radio) and hopped in his car and drove away. Whereabouts still unknown.

ICE refused to let a nearby physician help “I’m a physician” – “I don’t care !”. Her body was dragged out by arms and legs, and when the EMT finally arrived they had to walk in some distance because ICE blocked their vehicles.

The first blurry, distant, ambiguous footage looked like she DID hit him – but the many other close-up clear footages shows the opposite – he was never at risk, she never tried to hit him.

But now authorities blame her as a ‘Domestic Terrorist’ who tried to kill an agent. Trump claimed the agent was nearly killed and was fighting for his life in hospital. Vance claimed the ICE were just doing door-to-door searches for illegal immigrants (!) and we should pray for that brave agent. 

This was an obvious outright deliberate cold-blooded murder right on camera by an agent who seemed to be just itching to kill someone for fun.

But the govt and various other evil monsters blame the victim to try and justify this horrible murder ! Agents can murder citizens who annoy them with ‘Total Immunity’, and the govt and many citizens will cheer them on.

” The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. “

“ This is Standard Operating Procedure and has been since Shay’s Rebellion.”

Do you mean in the far West? I thought we are in the 21st century.

The grounds for Trump’s first two impeachments were inconsequential
in comparison to his outrageous executive overreach in the last year.
“High crimes and misdemeanors” are committed weekly, if not daily.

The control of Congress by AIPAC, a foreign agency, has led the President
to believe he is answerable to no other domestic or foreign group, and so
far that has been true. This is nothing less than treason, compounded by
an insane megalomania that ignores the Constitution and precedent.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was lucky to have only been run out of town.
Charlie Kirk was not so fortunate, and if anything should happen to
Thomas Massie there will be a very short list of suspects.

A few years back, Norwegian Professor Johan Galtung predicted that the U.S. will become a dictatorship:

Welcome Amerika to the Neo-NKVD. Time to review the literature of Solzhenitsyn and learn the lessons. Once unhinged power of extremist, fanatical Jews unleashes, the consequences are dire. Steven Miller reminded me of my Jewish professor of history at the university who back in 1981 advocated for the bombing to smithereens of the Iranian holy city of Qom, so that the U.S. can bring Khomeini to heel.

Sane Jews should act firmly to put an end to the tragedy of Palestine that is starting to permeate the U.S., for they might be blamed collectively for the insane acts of some of their co-religionists.

Thanks for the history.

If I recall a documentary correctly, the Medici’s pope had been a literal pirate before they made him pope. I supposed that clinched his qualifications.

“ Germany and Brazil could be a great axis.”

With the cowardly Lula in Brazil and the ex Goldman-Sacks American ass licker Merz in Germany, I cannot see what kind of an axis those two countries can make.

Brazil is rich in resources and Germany is rich in technology, but the two are worlds apart. The more practical solution to Germany is to turn the page with Russia, a close neighbor that had served German interests well whenever Germany and Russia were at peace.

If AfD manages to win an overall majority, Germany can break the spell of the Holohoax and move forward into a strategy of pragmatic realpolitik which would bring a great deal of symbiosis to both Russia and Germany.

hey joe, i know exactly what you are talking about and in fact pepe escobar addressed this issue in a short 800 word article, entitled “how political analysis became a target of a.i. deep fakes”, published here on unz, on december 29 of 2025. he is yet another analyst being cloned along with larry johnson, richard wolff, glenn diesen, yanis varoufakis, as well as others. it is well worth the read.

in the article pepe points out that these realistic deep fakes are so sophisticated and require such large budgets to produce, they are obviously deep state(s) related, the purpose of which is to destroy the credibility of these political analysts. this is something they have been trying to do for awhile, mostly through feeding disinformation through formerly trusted sources to these authors, in the hopes they will run with the story and look like fools. remember when pepe reported that the russians had shot down a nuclear armed israeli f-35 that was about to attack iran? that plum was so sweet, i refuse to disbelieve this fake story to this day (a man can still dream can’t he?).

well now they don’t have to get these authors to bite on the baited hook, they will simply flood the internet with phony bullshit that appears to be the real deal until the average person won’t know what to believe. remember what william casey told us, “we’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the american public believes is false.” looks like they have achieved their goal.

Yes indeed this is where they want to lead us.

But then I learnt my lesson. Before listening to the video, I just check the source. Most of these unknown sources with subscribers numbering in the few thousands are deep state fake news. Also one should be careful to scrutinize the pattern of the face where someone would speak for forty five minutes to one hour without scratching his face or looking up or down.

The fakers will always improve the state of the art, but we have to meet the challenge of making them bark in the dark.

Unrelated to this article, in a previous post I mentioned that John Mearsheimer stated in a video that Russia had sent two destroyers to the Venezuelan coast, thereby dooming the Monroe doctrine to irrelevance. I just noticed today that the video was AI.
My apologies.

The problem with the speculation that Venezuelan oil would replace that of the Middle East, should war break out against Iran, is that it would take at least 5 years to ramp up Venezuelan current production of less than 1,000,000 barrels to barely 3,000,000 and the investment needed would require around USD 180 billions, money that the big oil is not willing to invest in a country that has already nationalized their assets, plus the fact that heavy crude is more expensive to refine than the light sweet crude of the Middle East.

The closing of the Strait of Hormuz could send the price of petroleum barrel to above USD 100 and cause chaos in the stock market. But there is no guarantee that Trump the Shabbos goy will not oblige.

But then we have to give Trump credit where credit is due, for he has pronounced a good thing lately, like his intention to forbid big finance like BlackRock from investing in single family homes and the U.S. pulling out from 66 international agencies. The globalists will not take it lying down.

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/01/tyler-durden/us-to-withdraw-from-66-international-bodies-treaties/

“ The religion of these people is an evil cult. It deserves to be outed and eradicated. For the good of humanity it must be destroyed decisively, thoroughly, and as soon as possible.”

That was about to happen during the sixteenth century under the reign of Pope Leo X of the usurious Medici family. The Talmud was verboten and according to Michael Hoffman, only about one thousand hand written books survived. This is when the Jews struck a deal with this pope that allowed them to use the printing press to print thousands of copies, between 1519 and 1523 of this book of psychopathy.

The early Christian banking families like the Italian Medici and the German Fugger have lost the title of humanity’s prime blood suckers to the prominent Jewish banking families like the Rothschild and the Warburg bankers and it is the Vatican which has to get the approval of Zionist Jews whenever a political declaration is to be announced.

Love them or hate them, they sure know how to play the power game, as long as Christians are willing to be their shabbos goy.

it should be called the moron doctorine, because anyone that believes it has any legal standing is a moron. as you can tell from the support of the magatards, the vast majority of them are morons. what ever happened to the maga revolt over the epstein files? squirrel! and a communist squirrel at that!

the donroe mockerine is but a fig leaf for the isaac accords, they plan on ramming up latin america’s ass, like a pager or a cell phone. this will be the litmus test for fealty to the zioneocon empire, you will sign or die. all of this phony american exceptionalism, is but a cover for jewish supremacism and these idiot magatards will never figure it out, they will cheer and wave their plastic, made in china american flags, chanting u.s.a., u.s.a., drink a case of pabst blue ribbon and pass out while watching the stupor bowl.

unfortunately america can not be fixed, because while you can fix the stupor bowl, you can’t fix stupid.

Rejoice oh Jews rejoice! Looks like your Revolution of the Whores could yet succeed in Iran. One old woman demonstrator with blood on her face said she had been dead already for 47 years. She’s a bit old to start whoring now but I guess she could go through one last round unless she truly dies in body too when the revolutionary guards shoot her. What did a guard say? If a bullet hits you, you deserved it. Yeah, all those traitors and Mossad agents now growing in their hundreds of thousands and millions sure had it coming.

Yeah, the Islamic Republic could be on the road to Hell and even more reason for you Satanists to rejoice, cast your spells and curses, and offer some sacrifice to your demon lord. Still, they say Allah is the greatest plotter of all, so beware ye demonic Jews.

But wait, 21% of the population of Israel are Arabs and most of them are Muslims. That’s more than the percentage of these people in Europe. However, Jews keep them in check in ways Europeans are forbidden to do.

The big difference today of course is the lack of a will to live as a unified race. By this I mean the ‘old’ idea of race manifested as a spiritual essence within a like people– what was once understood as the Germanic or English or French race. Not biological in the sense of ‘white’, but rather in the sense of a distinct culture contained within a more or less set geographical boundary.

The demographic invasion brings rootless non-Europeans into the state where they land, having complete indifference to local values and traditions. But the population replacement is more a symptom than a cause of Europe’s demise. To understand what enables it, we must turn to its ideological carrier wave: globalism. That’s a more complete explanation than Islam or Judaism or invertebrate politicians.

Since WWII, “liberal” and progressive thought leaders have pushed the idea that quasi-world-government institutions are the best hope for preventing future iterations of the world wars. If such organizations limited themselves to encouraging voluntary cooperation between peoples and countries, they would be valuable. But institutions given a little power are almost never satisfied — they have to expand their reach.

Part of their strategy for aggrandizing their leverage is to ensure the death of national and cultural loyalty not only among the outsiders pouring in but among the indigenous people themselves. Once the native sense of place is gone, globalism fills the vacuum.

Robert D. Kaplan explains in Earning the Rockies:

” … Global culture has a fatal weakness. Uprooted from terrain, there is less to fight for, since the homeland means less than it used to. And by unmooring people from geographically rooted traditions, global culture makes them more susceptible to fashions and fads and eventually even to ideologies. This is what makes geopolitics that much more vicious and abstract: a sheer battle of pride and communal identity fought out over a battleground where stable, conservative tradition anchored in landscape has been, or is being, lost.”

an orphan in his teenage years and had to fend for himself by doing menial work, only to start a party that raised a nation without hope,

who can forget

by simply pulling the ((fangs)) out of the national jugular, Germany went from the most broken, and prostrate nation in Europe, to the most powerful nation on the planet, in just a few years.

That was quite an example to other nations, with the fangs slurping deep.

Just imagine where the U.S. would be, were it not for all the blood and treasure it squandered for Jews in WWI, WWII, Israel’s serial wars, and all the post 9/11 wars for Israel. The number just in dollars alone, is in the tens of trillions, if not more. And all this as our infrastructure crumbles, our cities rot, and poverty is rampant. Thanks Jews.

But the tentacles of ZOG are many and quite hardy.

Understatement alert

But the question is, are they insurmountable?

Let us face the facts. Trump lacks the moral fiber to make him the kind of man fit to raise a nation from the abyss.

Understatement alert

We should all buckle up for mankind never learn anything from history.

I wish I had some kind of profound insight, that would contradict what you wrote. Something to give hope. I suppose the best thing we have going for us, is that the few hundred or so people in the world, who orchestrate these wars, don’t *themselves* want to die. Laying waste to a few hundred million, or even a billion or two, would equal exactly nothing to these people. But their own lives, now that is something different. Nor do they want to hunker in a bunker for years, until the fallout subsides. So I suppose that is the only thing keeping the dogs of Total war at bay. But that certainly doesn’t preclude lots and lots of traditional wars, where only the worthless goyim die, to exalt the worst scum on the planet, to the highest perches and beyond.

my advice remains ~

https://visituruguay.org/travel-uruguay/how-to-travel-to-uruguay/

“ Most of the people here, (I suspect) are university educated, but here, for the general amusement, is a working-class guy, (the circles I often travel in), giving his point of view.”

Well, sometimes that what it takes to make a difference; a working class person who is not imbued with the brain washing that comes with a university degree. Remember the little mustache man, who became an orphan in his teenage years and had to fend for himself by doing menial work, only to start a party that raised a nation without hope, whose capital was called sin city, to the forefront of European nations, taming unemployment from 30% to 3% in two years. This is while the university educated FDR failed miserably with his New Deal and decided that the only way to beat his rival barbarian was by starting a war against him.

“ Are they, (Candice, Tucker, et al) Feds? I confess I don’t know. But there have been people saying this site is a Mossad honey pot, in order to flesh out the worst ‘anti-semites’, and while I have no proof, I consider it unlikely.”

Some corporate leader in America once said “only the paranoid survives”. But think of it, is it worth living like a paranoid. Candice, Tucker et al are making a dent in the matrix of Zionist control should we assume they are not a tool of ZOG. But the tentacles of ZOG are many and quite hardy. This is a first step in a long journey. I said many years back, this the time that everyone has to chose his camp, come what may. Socrates had an idea of death that is antithetical to most people. In his view, either we die and go into a midsummer night without a breeze and without a dream or we go to meet with all our buddies who passed away, where we can continue philosophizing about life. Neither choice is worse than living in abject enslavement to ZOG. You mentioned Aaron Bushnell; he sacrificed his life to put a message through and that is the kind of bravery that is required to subdue the monster. All I hope that any would be Bushnell, would sacrifice his life in a way that is more creative and productive at the service of defending justice.

Let us face the facts. Trump lacks the moral fiber to make him the kind of man fit to raise a nation from the abyss. The deep state has totally co-opted him and the neocon branch in his government has gotten the upper hand over those who are advocating for peaceful coexistence with the rising powers. Trump called on Martin Armstrong to suggest a plan that would avoid confrontation in the interest of a win-win outcome and Armstrong duly obliged. But according to his AI program, that he baptized as Socrates, the war is inevitable. Armstrong wrote his 400 pages suggestion while admitting that he never was able to beat his AI Socrates by trying to change the projected outcome.

We should all buckle up for mankind never learn anything from history. The Thucydides trap that Mearsheimer spoke about will soon be haunting us, except that this time the nuclear arsenal makes the stakes for humanity much more deadly.

“ But for the people unable to leave the sinking ship, should they resign themselves to their fate, or should they seek some last ditch flotsom to cling to, (voting for Massie, donating to his campaign, etc..) to keep from drowning in the sad and pathetic hope that they and their families might at least somehow survive?”

If I were a wealthy American I would simply fold and leave while there is still time. For those who are stuck, there is only one way to make a stand, and that is by starting to build communities, ideally comprising a few hundred people, that encompass all kinds of trades and professionals, and to give each others mutual support. And yes indeed, voting for the exceptional Massie, would make a lot of sense provided he can start a political movement that threatens the congressional duopoly. That is if ZOG lets him live long enough to achieve his mission impossible.

But as you suggested, one solution is to have the USA split along new ideological lines, hopefully without going into a civil war. Had cessation been allowed to happen back in 1860, I think the U.S. would be less imperially inclined and more of a normal peace adhering country.

Still the sad reality is that no matter the intentions of Trump, or any other would be reformer, the deep state has simply kept him in check.

Maybe if things get much worse than they are, the people will muster the will to topple this whole corrupt set up that the U.S. has sadly come to be.

Paper currency which China is using to acquire all kind of industrial material from doctor copper to gold and all between.

China’s industrial capacity has dwarfed that of the United States. China’s U.S. treasury bonds are on a steady decline.

All we are seeing is a knee jerk reaction by the West to the unstoppable Chinese train that has left the station without any possibility to catch up with it.

China’s trade surplus in 2025, despite the Trump tariffs brouhaha, will close at a surplus of around USD one trillion while that of the U.S. will close at around a deficit of USD one trillion.

The only hope for the West to stop the Chinese train is to sabotage the rails. Occupying a country that is a major supplier of oil to China is within the realm of such an endeavour.

Now the fig leaf of international law that the U.S. hid behind in many of her imperialistic pursuits has fallen. The U.S. is totally naked, and what better president than Trump to herald this new phase in American foreign policy.

A dazzling start for sure, but there is no guaranteeing where it will all end.

“ what were there, twelve disciples?”

Funny you mentioned that, considering that out of twelve, eleven met an untimely death.

“ The problem is, I suppose, that if he gets in by pretending to be good, by the time you figure out he’s bad, it’s too late.”

What we should keep in mind, especially we who were educated in the West, that life is a matter of cycles and contrary to the prevalent way of thinking, life does not move in a linear equation. Maybe that is the influence of Christianity just like my parish priest tried hard to advocate that Christianity moves in a straight line.

Just like we mostly agree that empires are born and then they go through the cycle of growth, maturity, decline and death, republics follow the same pattern. It is all a matter of assessing at which stage the republic is.

The American Republic was born in a baptism of fire by declaring war against the British monarchy. It grew and had to endure ideological clashing currents like Jeffersonian promotion of small government against Hamiltonian push for an expanding government revolving around a central bank. For a while the small government principle prevailed when Andrew Jackson “killed the bank”.

Then came Teddy Roosevelt with his imperial drive and the republic, already beholden to the Monroe doctrine, starting acquiring all the trappings of an empire. But the republic still functioned by protecting the rights of free speech, by building an industrial system that raised the standard of living of the lower and middle classes, albeit at the back of sweat and tears, and by pursuing a foreign policy that sought by and large to expand trade relations.

In the decades starting from the sixties, the nature of the republic started fading in favour of a blossoming imperial interventionism that came to be increasingly dominated by ideological oppression and imposition from within the republic and on the outside world.

Now the republic is totally corrupted, and Washington D.C (district of corruption or donors’ control ?) has become the hub of the most tyrannical and narrow minded and arrogant power elite in the world’s geopolitical arena. And this is the time that a strongman should simply enter the game and clean the rot. No strategy to turn around the course of the American ship can be achieved by voting with the current chokehold that the oligarchy and the deep state have over every facet of American lives.

And the oligarchy has proven a very resilient body. Think of France and how the greatest political leader in France and Europe, Charles De Gaulle, was overthrown by a coloured revolution.

It is time to totally dismantle the American republic and rebuild it again. And I doubt that voting will change this.

Not at all.

But let us remember how many Massie(s) the post WWII order gave us. Without doing real research, I’d bet the Honourable Ron Paul and his equivalents would not make 5% of the lot.

The corruption of the republic is what caused empires to revert to dictators. And then by looking at the state of matters under the dictators as opposed to that of republics, things can be quite revealing. Think of Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Lee Kuan Yew and compare before with after.

I hope America will get her Julius Caesar moment.

In fact, as soon as my wife told me the news today, the first person to come to my mind was you. I could imagine the disappointment and the frustration showing on your face.

For someone like you, who has diligently struggled on this site for years to stir awareness within the readers’ conscience about the state of the world and how to address the injustices that plague mankind, I can feel and understand your pain.

The Don will display his rooster’s feather to make up for his failing presidency and some within MAGA might applaud this heinous act, believing that Maduro is indeed a dictator. Heck, the French pigeon balls president Micron immediately acclaimed the fall of the dictator. Except that this dictator had the legitimacy of being elected by his people unlike many of America’s minions who anoint themselves as kings for life by virtue of hereditary rule.

The short term consequences will be a boon to the bankers who will expand their balance sheets extending loans to American oil companies based on collateral on concessions granted by the new puppet Venezuelan President. Long term, this misadventure will come to be viewed by the world as the most blatant example of reckless American piracy.

Revolution does not have to be necessarily bloody. If people simply agree not to pay their taxes and stop feeding the beast, that could do it. It is called civil disobedience.

Then it all depends on whether the police and the army side with the people in which case the government has to fold.

But I am pessimistic about real change, for to keep voting at elections will always give legitimacy to the fraud called the republic.

You play into their hands when you incite revolution

The fake Jews want the chaos of revolution all the while they watch from a safe distance as people with a common enemy kill each other. Sort of like WW1 and 2.

After the revolution, what then?

The restoration of the republic?

We already have a republic and all the tools to change the government peaceably.

Yes, it will take a mass movement, but so would any violent revolution.

A main tactic the fake Jews have used to maintain power for so long is their assassination of those who would lead the people against them

Americans will have to protect and defend those men who have the guts to lead the people against this criminal gang.

Many more Americans are conscious of the outsized influence of Zionist Jews in almost all facets of American life. Unfortunately, they are too few to make a difference.

Without a genuine revolution that shakes the very foundations of the system, prime among them the phoney representative democracy, I am very pessimistic about real change.

“the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

Thomas Jefferson, America’s greatest statesman.

Why do Americans believe the way they do?

Because they are lied to by the Jewish Press (mainstream media)

If you want to change things then do your part to discredit the Jewish Press, by always calling it the Jewish Press.

Once people realize that the Jewish Press is the mouthpiece of their enemies they will be less likely to fall for murderous scams like the Covid fraud

Regarding voting; never vote for a fake Jew or anyone they own, always vote for true American firsters

I cannot blame anyone for voting AGAINST Hillary the hag and not FOR the Donald. At least we can confirm that Trump’s winning did definitely produce an enhancement in style. But what about substance?

Just today I heard on the news that American fighter jets attacked Caracas. Did voting for White and handsome Trump give justice to his voters.

MAGA, MIGA, or just smoke and mirrors as the true master is out of reach and out of sight.

“ I do not understand why Iran stopped pummeling Israel.”

The Iranians stopped pummelling Iran because they were certain that, should Israel go down to its knees, the Israelis would cry for Uncle Sam to intervene, and the last thing that Iran wants is a clash with the United States.

The Iranian moves in geopolitics were always tinged with a high level of pragmatism to the point that makes many observers suspect that Iranians have secret understandings that define the limits of the game, with the U.S., and some speculate with Israel, something the rebel Jewish- French journalist Thierry Meyssan has written about on more than an occasion. And I give Meyssan the benefit of the doubt, for let us not forget that the Islamic Revolution in Iran was conceived and executed by the USG through her deep state arm. Just think of how easy it could have been for the U.S. to get rid of Khomeini, while he was residing in France, if he was truly an enemy of the U.S. The Iranian revolution was skilfully used by the Americans to impose a de facto protection racket on the Arab oil rich states in the Persian Gulf, giving America the leverage of controlling the oil fields that are of paramount importance to the Chinese, the Japanese, most other Far Eastern economies and that of Europe. Add to that the bonus of selling huge quantities of arms to all Gulf states that filled the coffers of the American MIC.

But the master’s strike was the schism that the Iranian revolution produced between Sunni and Shia states within the Arab world. Iran has always coveted an access to the Mediterranean Sea and their way to reach this aim was to put a foothold in Syria, by knitting a close military and economic connection with Syria’s Assad family, and in Lebanon by forming Hizbollah. Hizbollah’s military success, disputed by many analysts in Lebanon as to whether it is genuine or contrived, scared the Sunni states into signing peace deals with Israel, covertly or overtly. This means that the utility of the Mullahs regime in Iran is coming to an end.

And now what? Here we delve into the realm that is known to the select few, and at best, we can speculate about the coming scenario. Any political upheaval in a multi-ethnic and multi- cultural Iran would doom the prospect of materialising the International North South Corridor that allows a trading route for Eurasia that bypasses the traditional routes of Suez and Gibraltar, thereby relegating the maritime dominance of the Western powers to irrelevance. The cancellation of INSC amounts to a huge blow to China, Russia and Eastern Europe who could have depended on this trading route to break away from the shackles of Western Imperialism.

Has the USG deemed this symbiosis between American interests and the Mullahs regime to be obsolete. Will China and Russia respond forcefully to this American blatant attack on their core economic and geo-strategic interests.

Interesting times to say the least.

———————-

Have you noticed the orchestrated pattern of events with Netanyahu’s 5th visit (of 2025) with Trump? All of a sudden Iran’s currency collapses and protests erupt – all on the eve of the US-Israel attack on Iran. How did ZOG collapse Iran’s currency as fuel for regime change?

RT – “Iran’s archrival Israel openly endorsed the unrest, with the Mossad spy agency cheering for the protesters on its Farsi-language X account and claiming its agents are embedded in the protesting crowds. “Go out into the streets together. The time has come. We are with you,” Mossad wrote. “Not just from a distance or through words. We are also with you on the ground.” “

How is Iran so thoroughly infiltrated by the Mossad? Next we have Trump’s most recent statement on Iran:

President Trump has warned that the U.S. will intervene if Iran kills peaceful protesters amid ongoing unrest in the country. He stated that the U.S. is “locked and loaded” and ready to act if necessary, following reports of violence against demonstrators.

How is Iran protest violence a problem for the United States? Trump is obviously reaching for straws and looking for an excuse to enter a conflict with Iran, which Israel is provoking – and he is only doing this at behest of Israel – which is treason. IMO Israel does not know when to quit, here is a summary of last years 12 day war:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/26/visualising-12-days-of-the-israel-iran-conflict

I do not understand why Iran stopped pummeling Israel. If that little shit nation attacked my nation I would lay waste to it, demand unconditional surrender and do a Nuremburg style trial on Bibi and associates. What do you think is going to happen next?

“ Later in life I became a Libertarian ”

I went from being a libertarian to being an outright anarchist after the COVID scam.

I admit it took me some time to figure out the universal suffrage racket. Basically those who fought for the right of every citizen to vote, knew that the vast majority of people can be easily led by empty slogans like “Make America Great Again” or shibboleths like “those evil Russians” or “ drain the swamp” which renders the votes of the small minority of the people who are truly sophisticated and know how to think for themselves totally irrelevant.

Nothing would make me again cast a vote unless a no-preference vote, or call it a blank vote, is allowed, and should such a vote make up more than 50% of the cast votes, the elections would be declared null and void. Not that such an option would render representative democracy by universal suffrage much better, but at least it can give those inclined to vote for the lesser evil a solution to their frustration with this corrupt system of governance.

In one site I used to visit often many years back called ‘ The Wizard of Oz’ and which was closed due to lack of funding, I used to enjoy articles by a writer who has the same pen name as yours. His scathing critiques of the Western legal system that derives from the Torah and the prevalence of Jews in the judiciary system was an eye opener to me.

Keep up the good work of pummelling the unsuspecting voters into making them realize the futility of their endeavours.

Not a historian and I never studied history at a collegiate level, my training was in engineering, I was simply presenting Glubb’s theory, only yesterday I discovered the 250 year cycle of the rise and fall of empires, and made a comment about what to expect for ZOGUSA and Israhell. Only speculating here but it seems to match current events. For instance, any mathematician would tell you that debt going up an exponential curve will reach approach a limit.

The United States debt will eventually reach a limit – when the cost of the debt is no longer serviceable. That can happen any time now, especially if interest rates spike. Interest rates bottomed out in the 2020 time period, they have switched into a secular uptrend. We have probably seen the lows of interest rates for the rest of our lives, just a couple of years ago interests rates went to zero, the lowest in history.

Sir John Bagot Glubb and the Fate of Empires is only a theory based on the rise and fall of 11 empires he studied. Obviously anything can happen, but it is clear the USA is in serious decline. Decades ago I was studying the collapse of the Roman Empire, and it dawned on me that the people living there carried on, everyday you still have to get up and do things to survive. As the Amerikan Military-Debt Empire implodes, what are we to do but continue to exist? Is it a bad thing our nation is no longer patrolling the earth committing heinous war crimes?

What I find interesting is the 250 year cycle theorists have hypothesized the exact end date for the USA empire as July 4th, 2026. That’s only 184 days from now. And on that exact day Trump wants to dedicate his new Arch of Triumph – which reminds me of Titus Arch in Rome. What are the chances that the dedication of Trump’s new arch will be on the exact day the Glubb cycle theorists predicted for the Amerikan empire end date?

But there is a big pattern repeat with Trump and Vespasian – who ended the Roman chaos after Nero committed suicide. The old Julio-Claudian dynasty ended when Vespasian seized power and started a new dynasty. Both of his sons Titus and Domitian also became emperors. Titus is famous for sacking Jerusalem in 70AD.

Trump also has sons that could continue the Trump dynasty, and I was forecasting that before the election. But Trump has screwed up so bad, I now doubt it. How long will the new Trump dynasty last? I do not know. Could Trump’s son’s continue the Trump dynasty? There is definitely a chance. Is Trump more like Caligula, Nero, or Vespasian? Who knows?

It seems uncanny to me the Jerusalem connection between the Flavians and Trump. Vespasian’s son Titus sacked Jerusalem, the loot was taken back to Rome and funded the Arch of Titus and the Coleseum. Trump, of course, is closely associated with Jerusalem, moved the US Embassy there. Trump is also presiding over the collapse of Israel. It was Trump who assisted Nutjobyahoo in attacking Iran, which ended very badly for Israel.

On December 6, 2017, the United States of America officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel. American president Donald Trump, who signed the presidential proclamation, also ordered the relocation of the American diplomatic mission to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, constituting what is now the Embassy of the United States in Jerusalem, which was established on the grounds of the former Consulate General of the United States in Jerusalem

By being a total Zionist loyalist, Trump is allowing Israel to destroy itself. You can not make this shit up – compromised blackmailed Zionist pig Trump is actually causing Israel to fail – and the narcissist fool doesn’t even realize it. Previous administrations would not allow Israel to do reckless things like Trump is allowing. Trump reads nothing, knows nothing, is so self absorbed he lacks the internal wisdom and political skill craft to reign in the lawless Israeli state and the cuckoo for cocoa puffs prime minister. Iran pummeled Israel with missile barrages, many said that Israel would of been destroyed if the missile barrages continued for just 2 more weeks.

https://infostormer.com/bibi-spends-new-years-eve-with-his-puppet-trump/
The Israeli Prime Minister has been in America for five days now.
This is his sixth trip to the White House since Trump took office in Jan, 2025.

“ By being a total Zionist loyalist, Trump is allowing Israel to destroy itself. You can not make this shit up – compromised blackmailed Zionist pig Trump is actually causing Israel to fail – and the narcissist fool doesn’t even realize it. ”

This is the million dollars question. Is Trump deliberately pushing Israel into shooting herself in the foot by giving her a carte blanche to stir war against her enemies or is he acting as her Shabbos goy because he is co-opted by Israeli blackmail. Either way, if the result will lead to clipping the wings of this most criminal state in mankind’s history, the world would owe him recognition.

I wish you could be more specific about where it is wrong.

Given your clarification, I would reverse and say that your macroeconomic analysis is mostly right.

I think that an awful lot of smart people get hung up however on shibboleths in economics. For conservatives born around 1960 (may I guess that this includes you?), the name of John Maynard Keynes is such a shibboleth. I would say that Keynes was more right than almost anyone at the time but his was a different world.

Few persons unread in macro know where the bootstrap is, so to speak. That is, few can tell you what gives the fiat dollar value in the first place, and then if they think about it too hard, it drives them nuts and they go and dump their money into gold or Bitcoin or whatever and still cannot process why the dollar did not collapse in 2008. The bootstrap is right in front of us and, in your own way, you have identified it, yourself. It’s federal taxation, because that’s the only thing that directly retires the money supply at the base, M0 level—except burning cash, which isn’t really a thing.

I suspect that you know how M0, M1 and the Treasury General Account are defined and why they are defined in this way, but most do not know, with the unfortunate result that they cannot believe the simple fact that (except to the extent to which the Fed intervenes via repurchase agreements and the like) federal taxation reduces M0 dollar for dollar—which affords federal taxation a demand-generating superpower no other source of demand for the dollar can match.

Which is why the Bank of China’s machinations regarding the dollar just observably aren’t having much effect.

For the sake of brevity and to avoid being abusive to this site, …

Me too.

There will be other opportunities, especially given that the otherwise estimable Alistair Crooke insists on opining repeatedly about macroeconomics, a subject he unfortunately knows practically nothing about. Meanwhile, if there is a specific point you wish me to address, I will try; but, if not, then let me thank you for your Eurozone overview (for I do not understand the Euro and I know it) and leave it there for now.

“ I suspect that you know how M0, M1 and the Treasury General Account are defined and why they are defined in this way, but most do not know, ”

You hit the nail on the head. Notice that many of us who studied economics, including those who got their PHD’s in economics, were never exposed to the way monetary policies work. We were told that the FED controls monetary policy and that it is independent from political influence. Nobody told us that the FED is a private set up owned by major New York banks. And the independence of the FED from political pressures is by and large an illusion. Ronald Reagan famously sent the message to Paul Volcker threatening to fire him if he kept interest rates high when nearing his election campaign for his second term.

German economist Richard Werner helped me understand the nature of monetary policy by highlighting how private banking loans expand the money supply, which by his estimate are responsible for 97% of monetary expansion. Fractional banking greatly enhances this private banking monetary role. And if fractional banking is banned, the matching of loans with depositors’ money might reduce wild swings in economic activities and the capacity of speculators to cause bubbles within the stock market and the real estate market, but that will never eliminate the business cycle which is as old as trading among humans existed with or without central banking or fiat currencies.

As for the roles of M0, M1 and the rest of it, the U.S. is in the unique position of having around 70% of paper USD outside the United States for the USD is still the most sought after currency. And having the USD as the world’s trade and reserve currency is a double edged sword; for on the one hand the U.S. enjoys the exorbitant privilege of trading real goods and services in return for fiat, but OTOH the U.S. ends paying hundreds of billions in interest on U.S. treasuries that are owned by foreign investors with the money never getting recycled within the U.S. economy. And USG control over her currency is harder than it is for other countries because of the universal role of the USD. Take for instance Lebanon, which suffered one of the worst economic and financial downfalls in the last 150 years that has ever befallen any country, with her currency depreciating by 98%, and you will see that 90% of transactions are settled in USD in CASH as the banking sector went belly up. And this is causing wild hollering by American treasury officials who try to put pressure on the Lebanese government for more transparency, so far to no avail.

Definitely, the current system of education does not give American citizens a mastery over economic and monetary issues, and I suspect this is done by design in order to keep the FED cabal, at the service of Wall Street, immune from public scrutiny.

Quite informative. But is the cycle 250 years from founding till collapse or from peak to collapse. There isn’t consistency in the narrative. The Byzantine empire was founded on 333 AD and totally collapsed on 1453 AD. Its peak was in the 15th century and started its decline with the rise of Islam after the 1630’s.

Jews causing trouble? So, what’s new?
The Byzantine Empire saw the problem and kept jews out of government, education and banking.

Voltaire saw them for what they were:

“They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair.”

A great man saw the problem a hundred years ago and tried to do something about it: “While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organisation for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks. It is a sign of their rising confidence and sense of security that at a time when one section is still playing the German, French-man, or Englishman, the other with open effrontery comes out as the Jewish race.”

― Adolf Hitler, quote from Mein Kampf

As long as the jews continue the occupation of Palestine and the USA there will always be trouble

“ I have not been following EU news during recent years. Would you clue me in?”

Europe is itching for war because many important economies in Europe are on the edge of a financial precipice. France, the second largest economy is negotiating with the IMF a loan while its national debt to GDP ratio is going higher without any possibility of redressing the situation. Germany which accounts for 25% of the EU’s economy has been sliding into recession with her economy shrinking by 3% over three years, with small businesses closing by the thousands on a monthly basis. The Germans have proven to be totally gutless by letting their government go for the so called “sustainable energy”, thereby closing down all their nuclear power stations, then they had their very dependable Russian energy source sabotaged by the Americans with the bombing of Nord Stream II, and their market to Russia is closed because of sanctions. All of this came at the heels of the COVID crisis. So that puts the biggest two economies in the Euro zone in dire straights.

The Euro was supposed to be an alternative for the USD had it been done the proper way. Martin Armstrong, America’s leading forecaster who was invited to advice about creating the Euro currency, told the Euro engineers that it was imperative to consolidate the Euro zone debt to make it the equivalent of a the U.S. Federal debt. Euro zone politicians, starting with Germany’s Helmut Kohl, refused to apply the idea for it would have looked like German taxpayers are bailing out loose monetary states like the PIGS countries. That made the Euro vulnerable to the collapse of any one country that falls into financial trouble as the speculators would start shorting any bank that is heavily invested in the debt of the failing country and those that are likely to be next. Thus the volatility was moved from the currency markets to the sovereign bonds market. And now there is talk by the EU elites of dumping the Southern European countries out of the Euro zone. Where would that lead is anybody’s guess, but that will not boost the confidence of foreign markets in the Euro as a reserve currency.

“ Regarding your macroeconomic analysis, I would say that it is fundamentally incorrect”

I wish you could be more specific about where it is wrong. I will add my two cents about what we were taught in American economics classes about inflation and deflation;

We were basically taught that while inflation is bad, deflation is terrible. For the sake of brevity and to avoid being abusive to this site, I will mention a few points in what could take hundreds of pages to properly analyse.

Most what we were taught derived from Keynesian economics which have proven to be a total flop as what happened in most Western countries is an adoption of Pseudo Keynesian economics which is worse than Keynesian economics. Keynes thought that the government should eliminate the business cycle by intervening in the economy when the private sector is not willing to invest and make the economy roll. By the end of his life Keynes admitted that there is no way to tame the business cycle.
As for inflation, it is primarily a fiscal phenomenon, and not a monetary phenomenon, created by crooked politicians who try to reach power by bribing voters. Hence we have seen the U.S. economy move from one deficit to another as the spending would keep expanding where the Federal debt is getting close to 39 trillion USD. This constant increase in government spending is what I call pseudo- Keynesianism, for Keynes only advocated for government intervention during a recession, and rolling back the government debt once a booming economy fills the coffers of the treasury.

As for deflation, it pretty much depends on the cause of deflation; if it results from a total collapse in confidence like debt deflation where nobody trusts anybody to lend, than that kind of deflation is bad for producers and consumers. OTOH, if deflation is the result of improved productivity, then it is a boon for the consumers. But such a scenario cannot go on forever, because the markets will eventually push the less productive competitors out of the market and prices would eventually start recovering to the benefit of the dominant producers.

With inflation the story is more tricky. Some eighty percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck or near or under the poverty line. And the FED has adopted the holy grail of 2% inflation as their official target. Now try compounding a 2% inflation rate over many years with stagnant wages, and you realise that inflation is bad for the lower eighty percent of the American social strata. But for the top 1%, consumer inflation translates into higher EPS for companies and thus higher share prices while asset inflation translates into opportunities to increase their wealth portfolio in the real estate market. And the FED is at the service of the 1%.

In a nutshell, the well being of an economy consists of balancing the needs of society between productivity and consumption. If interest rates go high because of demand for money by the productive sectors of the economy, then that should translate into lower prices, and if higher demand for money goes into fuelling consumption, that would translate into higher inflation.

Morgan Jones, I am not familiar with your name or any of your previous output.
But this article of yours was well worth reading.
It is yet further confirmation, not that we needed any, that Winston Churchill was the stand-out traitor in the history of the British Empire.

Churchill sold his soul to the Jewish financiers (and simultaneously bankrupted the British empire, whilst needlessly sacrificing the lives of countless hundreds of thousands of British and Commonwealth soldiers for nothing).
Great Britain had no dog in this fight. It should never have involved itself in this war – a war whose sole purpose was the advancement of the agenda of Malignant International Jewry.

While I agree with most of your analysis, I caution that the Volcker revolution of extra high interest rates, basically to crush rampant inflation, is not an option today. Back then the total USG’s debt was close to one trillion and today it is nudging 39 trillion.

“ So now the seller, rather than the Bank of China, must decide whether to invest the dollars in U.S. Treasurys.”

Very true. But then there are countries that are under the thumb of the U.S. and that cannot turn their back to the USG or the USD. I will cite Japan, Taiwan and South Korea as an example.

Though what would happen if suddenly all the world outside the U.S. turns its back to the USD. That would cause USD dumping and whoever ends up owning these Dollars will have to repatriate them to the U.S. as deposits in U.S. banks. That would enormously inflate the money supply in the U.S.

The above scenario is just theoretical, as the USD will still be the dominant currency for the foreseeable future. The U.S. being the largest consumer market, estimated at 25% of total world consumption and twice that of the EU, will always be coveted by any foreign manufacturer for exports and Americans will pay their suppliers with USD. Moreover, any country wanting to borrow on the international markets will issue its bonds in USD. And the USD is the most fluid currency where an investor can buy in or out with minimal restrictions compared to the Yuan. The Euro is meanwhile circling the drain as the EU is about to totally disband. And USD dominance will always be the case as long as foreign investors are lining up to invest in U.S. treasuries and foreign direct investment still flows into the U.S., notwithstanding the level of USG’s debt. Alas every splendid story is too good to be true, and since 1971 the U.S. has been enjoying the privilege of acquiring real goods and services in return for greenbacks, but on one distant day the USD will join the list of the dead fiat currencies.

“The Kiev puppet regime had been shelling civilians in Donbass and killed over 14,000 and maimed many…”

Many would say that the real “Kiev puppet regime” was the one that eventually became Putin’s puppet in 2013 and consequently got legally removed in a parliamentary procedure in February 2014 after three months of public protests. As a response, Putin initiated the conflict in Donbas by supporting guerrilla warfare with Russian personnel in 2014.

The number “14,000” is much inflated, and you cannot cite credible sources to support it. See my comment from December 25, 2025 at 2:27 pm GMT, citing the United Nations death toll figures, fewer than a hundred deaths between 2019 and 2021, many by land mines. Also, on the topic of “shelling“, see my comment from a few hours ago, in another thread, citing Putin in Kazan last year in response to a BBC reporter.

Maybe so, but the damage they do is permanent and the things including the countries they destroy, cannot be restored.

That’s the whole point. 60 million white Christians in Europe and Russia, were slaughtered in WWII, and whose progeny will be eliminated for all time, never again to pose any threat to absolute Global Jewish supremacy. When their founding ethos includes ‘kill the best of the Gentile’, they take that stuff literally.

Something tells me, that what was done to the Poles at Katyn, wasn’t to prevent them from forming an army, but rather because they were the best of the Poles, and as such, killing them all, prevents them from having offspring, and has a permanent effect on the Polish nation, by removing the best of the gene pool, or as Mr. Unz mentions; “the flower of its civil society”. That’s why, I’m convinced they did the Holodomor, because the Kulaks, (successful independent farmers), were the best of the Ukrainian people. Which is why they tried to implement the Morgenthau Plan, and turn Germany into a cow pasture, because they considered the Germans to be the best of the Christian, European gene pool.

Mr. Unz refers to “the Katyn Forrest Massacre must surely have been regarded as the most appalling European war-crime of the last several centuries”. But right away I thought of Bela Kun and his Jewish girlfriend in the Crimea during the Bolshevik terror, and how the Bolsheviks promised the White Army Russians, and others, amnesty if they surrendered, and once they did, they proceeded to torture and slaughter them by the scores of thousands, often in horrific ways. But I don’t think they did so, out of fear that they would reform an army, but rather because these were hardly, strong men and women, of the best Russian stock. And so for these Jewish supremacists, the obvious strategy, from their Torah and Talmud, is to kill them all. The torture part was just a bonus, for this lot.

Just as we see them in action today, in Gaza.

“ Then he showed weakness during the 1905 Revolution. His regime was strengthened thanks to a great statesman named Pyotr Stolypin but Stolypin was gunned down by (((Dmitry Bogrov))).”

Thank you. The omission of the Stolypin assassination factor as a major event, that shaped European and world history, was the one weakness in Ron’s outstanding article. Had the man survived until the outbreak of the WWI, chances are he could have simply twisted Tzar Nichola’s hand into staying neutral while Russia was becoming the biggest grain producer in the world courtesy of Stolypin’s land reforms that gave the surfs the means to cultivate their own lands. Also Russia was industrialising at an impressive pace.

According to Douglas Reed in his book “The Controversy of Zion” Bogrov’s stated motive was that he feared that Stolypin’s reforms would have thwarted the Jewish Bolshevik Revolution.

Russia staying out of WWI could have dramatically changed the history of our planet and most probably stunted the growth of the cancerous New World Order.

Like King Louis XVI, Tsar Nicholas and his successor Kerensky were overthrown because they were weak.

I think the reign of the Romanovs suffered death by a thousand cuts: First, Nicholas had the gall to start a war with Japan which he disastrously lost- in part due to Japan receiving war loans from (((Jacob Schiff))).

Then he showed weakness during the 1905 Revolution. His regime was strengthened thanks to a great statesman named Pyotr Stolypin but Stolypin was gunned down by (((Dmitry Bogrov))).

Then you combine the Rasputin “scandals” with the Tsar’s stubborn, idiotic refusal to bring his troops home during World War 1 and you end up with October 1917.

“ and China doesn’t feel like stuffing the dollars in a mattress, then how many options does she have left besides to put the dollars right back into the American bond market?”

Many central banks are dumping USD for gold and other precious metals. Gold is neutral unlike the USD or the Euro.

“ In the long run, the only way I know for China really to get rid of her dollars (other than to burn them) is simply to stop selling us Americans stuff—when many of us wish China would stop selling us stuff in any case.”

The re-industrialisation of America is possible but not within the current reality of a USG dominated by Wall Street, the temple of Satan. It was the finance oligarchy that engineered the transfer of U.S. manufacturing capacity to China and other Global South countries in pursuit of higher profit for the sake of shareholder equity.

Should China stop selling stuff to Americans, something that a country with 1.4 billion consumers can easily do within its current path of building a consumption based economy, not unlike the U.S., the Chinese would be better off enjoying the fruit of their labour than handing it for a pittance to U.S. consumers. Looking back at China’s reaction to Trump’s loose canon of wanton tariffs and how the U.S. quietly buried the hatchet when China threatened restrictions on rare earth and one can easily see that the Chinese and American economies are intertwined to a degree that makes it painful to both sides to cancel trading with each other. The only obvious difference in the American- Chinese flow of goods is the preponderance of industrially processed products coming out of China in contrast to the mainly raw materials and agricultural products from America. Now that America has chosen to restrict her sales of semi-conductors to China, the Chinese are working on a fully integrated microchips industry which will slowly but steadily catch up with that of America.

hey joe,
while personally i would like to see taiwan renamed xiland, i realize this is not within the realm of the possible, considering the dignified nature of a statesmen such as xi, (which makes me wish that we had such adult leadership, that would put the needs of the people first). with that said, it would be hilarious if he did and i’d love to see trump’s response, most likely he would call him an egomaniac, without a hint of irony.

i’m coming to see ukraine, palestine, iran, syria and venezuela, all as fronts in this shadow world war and i think the efforts of the unnamed axis of resistance, of russia, china, iran, korea and venezuela, are becoming more coordinated, especially in terms of sharing military technology and equipment.

trump, after having been bested by putin in chess, has decided that perhaps he might do better at the game risk, with bibi giving him his secret mission card, of spreading jewish supremacism as far and wide as possible. jose alberto nino has an eye opening story, unz publish on 12/26, call “the isaac accords: a new diplomatic front opens in latin america”, that nicely lays out this untold story.

add to this the obvious false flag of the bondi beach shooting, that will further entrench jewish supremacism and zionism into the australian government and insure their compliance with the will of tel aviv, especially in any attacks on iran (who was immediately blamed for the shooting).

venezuela not only represents the worlds largest confirmed oil reserves, they are the staunchest supporters of of the palestinians in latin america and have a good and strong ally in iran. delenda est caracas, maduro must go! so apparently trump is amassing his amries and navies getting ready to roll the dice, ready to complete his secret mission and win the game! let us pray that he doesn’t really have the cajones, to attempt such an incredible strategic blunder as this, as i strongly suspect, but if he is that stupid, god help us all….

You state a nice and plausible scenario that hinges on complex geopolitical factors and uncertainties beyond the ability of most of us to guess IMHO.

There is no denying that China possesses an important stake in Venezuela on which she depends for important supplies of oil. But I would think that China’s first line of defence against any American encroachment on her vital interests is to resort to an effective tool to apply pressure on America without risking a war that China might still not be fully prepared for, and that would be to start dumping her ever dwindling stock of China’s holdings of US treasuries close now to USD 690 billion (the high was at close to 1100 billion USD) which will spike the total cost of servicing the exploding American debt.

Meanwhile Iran could start confiscating British and American flagged oil tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz just like they already did to Stena Impero in 2019 in retaliation to the British confiscation of their tanker Grace 1 in the Mediterranean in July 2019.

Just today I watched a video by Professor Mearsheimer where he stated that Xi has issued an order for his military to prepare for war in 2027.

What we are seeing is just the opening salvos of a world war that is getting ever closer. Meanwhile, we can buckle up and pray that Trump will get the resolve to cull the stooges of the deep state within his administration like Marco Rubio and his ilk, albeit it is a long shot.

“It’s hard for George Bailey’s clients to buy a house when the Potter’s of the world are laundering all that war profiteering and organized crime into asset inflation schemes.”

Agreed. There is a ton of drug money pouring into the housing industry. When the government can no longer pretend they don’t know where these labs are, they RELUCTANTLY go in and shut some down, only to have others predictably pop up somewhere else, which surprisingly takes the authorities years to see because they’re too busy looking the other way. It’s good for GDP, they say, but the common man suffers because of it. The common man is also competing with private equity buying up homes, along with institutional investors.

The release of land is constricted, on purpose, at the municipal/city/county level. Supply is kept low while demand increases, pushing prices further out of reach for the common man. They say they are trying to prevent urban sprawl; I say they are doing it because they are being told (or bought off) to do it.

The country is flooded with new immigrants who are competing for jobs and housing with existing citizens, many arriving with cash, knowingly money laundering through our banks. The bankers, lawyers, realtors all know it’s happening, but they keep mum on the subject because they’re profiting from it. We only hear about it after it’s all fallen apart. Then great stories are told.

It’s a sad story for the common man whose great grandparents, grandparents and parents fought in wars and gave their lives for their country. They are trying to live the American Dream, but cannot because the foxes have taken control of the hen houses, and this criminal class is loath to give it up.

“ Why do we rent our currency from Potter (the 1%) when the government can EASILY borrow from itself? ”

The argument, traditionally, was that borrowing is less inflationary than printing. That could have been true before 1971, when the link between gold and USD was severed, since before that time one could not take a U.S. treasury to the bank and use it as collateral. This changed after 1971 as banks started accepting U.S. treasuries as collateral which meant an increase in the money supply equivalent to the such new loans.

Furthermore, a lot of interest payments on U.S. treasuries go to foreign holders who do not recycle the money in the U.S. economy.

So why does the treasury not print more rather than borrow; because issuing interest paying treasuries is another welfare tool for the 1%.

This was pointed out by this most astute economist who derives his knowledge from being a trader, and one of the finest of them, rather than an academic who lives in his own bubble, like the Ivy Leaguers, and that this none other than the formidable Martin Armstrong.

This is what you get when the USD is used as political tool to punish countries that don’t fall in line.

First Russia is pushed out of SWIFT and then Blinken threatens China, the second largest holder of U.S. treasuries, with sanctions if the Chinese do not cut all trade with Russia that is suspected of dual use.

Any smart central bank manager would have to reconsider dependence of the USD, the goose that lays the golden egg for the U.S.

“ ensuring that mortgage rates remained low, and then bailed out the banks. Highly unethical; criminal, in fact.”

Marc Faber, an international Swiss investment advisor and money manager, commented on the FED’s move, that shoring up the real estate market after the crisis made it more difficult for the common man to own a home.

But then who said the FED is at the service of the people.

Happy New Year to you.

“German economist Richard Werner puts the amount of fiat deriving from private bank lending at 97%, when most of us think that the FED is the main engine of fiat.”

Agreed, but the Fed does control the short end of the bond market (where the banks borrow). As far back as Greenspan (from 1987 onwards), the Fed kept rates low (too low for too long), creating a disaster in the housing market, and then when it all fell apart in 2008 they swooped in with Quantitative Easing where the Fed bought the long-end of the bond market, ensuring that mortgage rates remained low, and then bailed out the banks. Highly unethical; criminal, in fact. Interest rates should have soared at that point, but they were held in check with a straightjacket.

All manufactured and engineered inflation, except we were told there was very little of it. “Inflation?” they asked, pretending not to see it. Greenspan blamed it all on “irrational exuberance”. Yeah, like he didn’t know that was going to happen!
