The Temperature in England

England has been one of the beta test sites for the new world order’s rollout. They are about 10-15 years ahead of the US generally. However, with the Davos crowd’s plans being disseminated faster than ever, the are speeding up the timeline. Perhaps now it’s clear why they are trying soooo hard to take the guns away over here…

Long and Important Read of the Day

As our CONgress weasels gleefully lead us to WWIII, it’s important that you understand who we are fighting for. And it’s not the formerly united States of America. Ron Unz posted a long and detailed article summarizing the current situation in the Middle East, along with a bunch of background. Well worth the time to read it all. Here’s a snippet.

It’s obviously quite disturbing for American doctors to report that Israeli snipers are deliberately executing Palestinian toddlers with shots to the head and the heart, and the slight coverage of these facts in our mainstream media outlets is certainly welcome. But for anyone who had closely followed the Middle East conflict over the decades, these facts were not particularly new. Even many years ago, Israelis had proudly produced numerous varieties of tee-shirts, which often carried the notorious slogan “One Shot, Two Kills,” glorifying the killing of pregnant women and young children by military snipers. I assume that the sheer volume of these current killings finally led some American media outlets to begin taking notice of this situation.

These stories hardly exhaust the roster of ongoing Israeli war-crimes. Despite the long history of oppression and poverty they have endured, the Palestinians are a highly educated population and over they years they had created an enviable medical infrastructure in their besieged Gaza enclave, with numerous excellent hospitals staffed by well-trained medical professionals.

The Israelis bitterly resented these achievements by a population whom they deeply despised and have now destroyed nearly all those hospitals while blocking any import of new medical supplies. Moreover, just a couple of days ago, the New York Times carried a story describing the widespread Israeli detention and brutal torture of leading Palestinian surgeons and other medical workers, with many of these civilians soon dying from their ill treatment. Traditional Judaism includes a notorious Talmudic injunction that Jews should seek to kill “the best of the Gentiles” and since medical doctors constitute an elite of Gazan society, it makes perfect sense that they should be targeted for torture and death. Indeed, international organizations have reported that some 500 doctors and nurses in Gaza have already been killed, while another 300 are still being held in Israeli prisons.

The rest at this link.

You Thought Food was Expensive Now, Eh?

Just wait…it’s going to get worse. Doug breaks it down in this video. It’s not looking good for farming; the powers that be want to make farming so unprofitable that no one will do it. And when there’s no more farming, well my friend, you vil eat zee bugs.

Doug Casey on Your Enemy, The Deep State

by Doug Casey

A lot of people would like political solutions to their problems, i.e., getting the government to make other people do what they want. People with any moral sense, however, recognize that can only create more problems. Clever players, therefore, use the government as a tool but do so from behind a curtain. They know that it’s more effective, and a lot safer, to pull the puppet’s strings from offstage. Sometimes, they step into the limelight, depending on the circumstances and the depth of their personal narcissism. But they’re all about two things: Power and money. Call them the Deep State.

Once a country develops an entrenched Deep State, only a revolution or a dictatorship can turn things around. And probably only in a small country.

The American Deep State is a powerful informal network which controls most institutions. You won’t read about it in the news because it controls the news. Politicians won’t talk about it or even admit that it exists. That would be like a mobster discussing murder and robbery on the 6 o’clock news. You could say the Deep State is hidden, but it’s hidden in plain sight.

The Deep State is involved in almost every negative thing that’s happening right now. It’s essential to know what it’s all about.

The State

The Deep State uses and hides behind the State itself.

Even though the essence of the State is coercion, people have been taught to love and respect it. Most people think of the State in the quaint light of a grade school civics book. They think it has something to do with “We the People” electing a Jimmy Stewart character to represent them. That ideal has always been a pernicious fiction because it idealizes, sanitizes, and legitimizes an intrinsically evil and destructive institution, which is based on force. As Mao once said, political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

The Deep State

The Deep State itself is as old as history. But the term “Deep State” originated in Turkey, which is appropriate since it’s the heir to the totally corrupt Byzantine and Ottoman empires. And in the best Byzantine manner, our Deep State has insinuated itself throughout the fabric of what once was America. Its tendrils reach from Washington down to every part of civil society. Like a metastasized cancer, it can no longer be easily eradicated.

In many ways, Washington models itself after another city with a Deep State, ancient Rome. Here’s how a Victorian-era freethinker, Winwood Reade, accurately described it:

“Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo.”

The Deep State controls the political and economic essence of the US. This is much more than observing that there’s no real difference between the left and right wings of the Demopublican Party. Anyone with any sense (that is, everybody except the average voter) knows that although the Republicans say they believe in economic freedom (but don’t), they definitely don’t believe in social freedom. And the Democrats say they believe in social freedom (but don’t), but they definitely don’t believe in economic freedom.

Who Is the Deep State?

The American Deep State is a real but informal structure that has arisen to not just profit from but control the State.

The Deep State has a life of its own, like the government itself. Within the government, it’s composed of top-echelon employees of a dozen Praetorian agencies, like the FBI, CIA, and NSA—top generals, admirals, and other military operatives—long-term congressmen and senators, and directors of important regulatory agencies.

But the Deep State is much broader than just the government. It includes the heads of major corporations, all of whom are heavily involved in selling to the State and enabling it. That absolutely includes Silicon Valley, although those guys at least used to have a sense of humor, evidenced by their defunct “Don’t Be Evil” motto.

It also includes the top people in the Fed, and the heads of the major banks, brokers, and insurers. Add the presidents and many professors at top universities, which act as Deep State recruiting centers—top media figures, of course, and many regulars at things like the WEF, Bohemian Grove, and the Council on Foreign Relations. They epitomize the status quo, held together by power, money, and propaganda.

Altogether, I’ll guess these people number a couple thousand. You might analogize the structure of the Deep State to a huge pack of dogs. The people I’ve just described are the Top Dogs.

But there are hundreds of thousands more who aren’t at the nexus but who directly depend on them, have considerable clout, and support the Deep State because it supports them. This includes many of the wealthy, especially those who got that way thanks to their State connections. The 1.5 million people who have top secret clearances (that’s a shocking but accurate number), plus top players in organized crime, especially the illegal drug business, little of which would exist without the State. Plus mid-level types in the police and military, corporations, and non-governmental organizations.

These are what you might call the Running Dogs.

Beyond that are the scores and scores of millions who depend on things remaining the way they are, like the 50%-plus of Americans who are net recipients of benefits from the State—the 70 million on Social Security, the 90 million on Medicaid, the 50 million on food stamps, the many millions on hundreds of other programs, the 23 million government employees and most of their families. In fact, let’s include the many millions of average Joes and Janes who are just getting by.

You might call this level of people, the vast majority of the population, Whipped Dogs. They both love and fear their master; they’ll do as they’re told and roll over on their backs and wet themselves if confronted by a Top Dog or Running Dog who feels they’re out of line. These three types of dogs make up the vast majority of the US population. I trust you aren’t among them. I consider myself a Lone Wolf in this context and hope you are, too. Unfortunately, however, dogs are enemies of wolves and tend to hunt them down.

The Deep State is destructive, but it’s great for the people in it. And, like any living organism, its prime directive is: Survive! It survives by indoctrinating the fiction that it’s both good and necessary. However, it’s a parasite that promotes the ridiculous notion that everyone can live at the expense of society.

Is it a conspiracy headed by a man stroking a white cat? I think not. It’s hard enough to get a bunch of friends to agree on what movie to see, much less a bunch of power-hungry miscreants bent on running everyone’s lives. But, on the other hand, the Top Dogs all know each other, went to the same schools, belong to the same clubs, socialize, and, most importantly, have common interests, values, and philosophies.

The American Deep State rotates around the Washington Beltway. It imports America’s wealth as tax revenue. A lot of that wealth is consumed there by useless mouths. And then, it exports things that reinforce the Deep State, including wars, fiat currency, and destructive policies. This is unsustainable simply because nothing of value can come out of a city full of parasites.

A SOLUTION?

Many Americans undoubtedly believe Donald Trump is a solution to what ails the US. They think he’s a maverick who will smash the Deep State. That’s understandable since he’s a cultural conservative. He wants the country to resemble the happy days of yesteryear, when Mom, apple pie, and Chevrolets were more important than Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. He’s a nationalist, a traditionalist, and business-oriented. That’s all very well. But irrelevant to the Deep State.

The problem is that Trump will almost necessarily surround himself with Deep State players; they’re really all there is in and around the Washington Beltway, Wall Street, Academia, or the media. He’s not about to abolish government agencies (although he might prune a few) and fire scores of thousands of government employees. His lack of a philosophical core will guarantee that instead of trying to abolish the State (in the manner of Milei or Ron Paul), he’ll just use it in ways he thinks are righteous. The proof of that is the trillions of new government spending and deficits he approved of when he was in power. He’ll spend trillions more if he’s re-elected. And all of it will feed the Deep State.

On the bright side, if Trump is elected, his rhetoric will be less objectionable than Kamala’s. There will probably be less overtly disastrous legislation enacted, and some regulations will likely be cut back.

On the not-so-bright side, I’m afraid the Democrats could win come November. They have control of the apparatus of the State, and they absolutely don’t want to give it up. The Deep State will be just fine if Trump wins, of course. But nobody wants to take a chance; there might be some broken rice bowls. He might turn into a loose cannon. So the Deep State, the Establishment, will be even fatter and happier if the Dems take control.

That’s what they’ll work for. And that’s the way to bet.

Doug Casey on the Trump Assassination Attempt and What Comes Next

Doug Casey has one of the best takes on the TAA from a high level and what we’re looking at going forward. I’ve listened to 30-40 hours of podcasts on the subject, and this is an excellent summary.

International Man: On July 13, there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

What’s your take on what really happened?

Doug Casey: The official narrative is still crystallizing, as all the government employees and bureaucrats who were supposedly responsible for Trump’s safety scurry about to ensure their careers aren’t adversely affected. Now that Kim Cheatle, the security hen in charge of the Secret Service, has resigned to collect her fat pension as a public mea culpa, the Secret Service and FBI will conduct internal investigations. A few people may be reprimanded and placed on administrative paid leave for a couple of weeks. A question will be asked as to whether it was a lone nut or part of a broader conspiracy. The odds are 99 out of 100 they’ll conclude the former, whether or not it’s true. They definitely won’t dare find there was any conspiracy within the Secret Service to take Trump out…

The only thing that I’m really sure of is that the Secret Service was ultra-incompetent in scores of separate and egregious ways. The Biden administration’s DEI policies fatally compromised SS effectiveness, starting with a diversity hire as director and using two short fat chicks as frontline security for Trump. If you have bodyguards, especially for a big, tall man like Trump, you want big, tall, muscular guys.

Many more things will come out showing how poorly managed the Secret Service has become. For instance, I understand physical qualifications used to include the ability to run a mile and a half in under 12 minutes. That’s been dropped to 20 minutes. To me, it seems certain that top Secret Service guys are going to leave. Serious professionals will find it too demoralizing to stick around as standards degrade and the ranks are filled with Wokesters.

I suspect this has already happened with the FBI. The corruption set in long ago with the CIA. And in different ways, with all of the 15 armed Praetorian agencies. I don’t take any news or analysis they put forth at face value. This is a time for critical thinking, which, as we recently discussed, is the process of questioning the validity of everything and pursuing the answers that are given until you’ve arrived at a reasonable conclusion. Regrettably, most Americans accept whatever the government tells them as fact.

The other thing that’s certain is that the blue and the red people really don’t like each other and can’t communicate. The Progressive blue people actively hate the red MAGA people. The red people have a much longer, slower fuse. But an event like this can solidify their feelings and they could wind up hating the blue people as much as the blue people already hate them.

My bottom line on the assassination attempt? There was definitely government and Deep State involvement. We’re just lucky that they’re incompetent.

International Man: If Trump had been killed, what do you think would have happened next?

Doug Casey: I’d say that the 30 to 40% of the country who are MAGAs would’ve gone wild. It’s a semi-religious movement at this point, and they won’t take losing their savior lying down.

If he’d been killed, it would’ve immanentized the Eschaton. Generally speaking, the public killing of a semi-religious figure is big trouble. You saw that with the riots that followed the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, even more so with the death of George Floyd in 2020. In an unstable country, even a worthless common criminal can be apotheosized and set off riots.

When things like this happen in stable times, the public can overlook them and go back to their lives. But when the tinder is dry like it is now, almost anything can set off a conflagration. And that’s what I expect we’re going to see.

In fact, if I put on my conspiracy theorist hat, I might say that there could be other assassination attempts on Trump and/or JD Vance. Or even Kamala. Getting rid of a highly undesirable candidate would solve all kinds of problems for the Democrats, and give them a much-needed hero while fabricating a perfect excuse to lock the country down as well as “solve” the gun problem. A narrative would be built about how everybody’s life is at risk.

I’ve said before that the Democrat Party is controlled and largely populated by people with the philosophy and psychology of French Jacobins. They really want to overturn the basis of society, and some of them will see a series of assassinations just before an election as a good way to do it.

International Man: You wrote a fiction book, Assassin, which explores political assassinations.

What did you learn writing that book, and how does it relate to what is happening today?

Doug Casey: John Hunt and I looked at, among many other things, a unique way to organize a resistance movement in modern-day America. Is it even possible to overturn the country’s entrenched rulers since “democracy” and elections are a sham? What is the morality of shooting candidates? Apart from that, is it even practical?

Guns are basically a 15th-Century technology. You might think any technology that ancient wouldn’t be something to fear in today’s high-tech world. It’s reminiscent of Biden’s comment a few years ago about how you need F-15s if you want to overthrow the US government, which, like much of what he says, makes no sense.

You might think that if people want to replace a repressive regime, they could form militias, the way the colonists did in 1776. But a repressive State will just center its force on any pockets of resistance. No matter how well-armed the individual citizens might be, they can’t stand up to an organized army. The odds are always against the rebels.

But on the other hand, guns are quite useful for excising selected bad individuals. Anyway, that’s one of the themes of Assassin. Political assassination has a long history in the US, and that’s likely to remain true in future US elections.

International Man: The US election is approaching, but there’s still plenty of time for surprises that could sway the election.

Do you have any predictions?

Doug Casey: It now looks like the Republicans will win, for lots of reasons. But the Republicans are known as the stupid party for good reason. Notwithstanding election rhetoric, they’re completely without fixed principles. Their operating principles are “do what the Democrats would do, but slower and not as thoroughly”. They love to moralize but don’t have a moral center, which actually makes them quite despicable. Everybody hates a hypocrite.

The Democrats, on the other hand, do have principles—but they’re all rotten.

Trump has my sympathy among the candidates because, although he has no moral or philosophical center, at least he’s a cultural conservative. Unlike the Democrats, he doesn’t want to overturn the nature of society. But since the Republicans are so dimwitted, even though Trump is riding a huge wave of sympathy for what happened and the admirable way he recovered from the incident, it’s entirely possible they’ll find some way to blow the election.

Meanwhile, the Democrats, the Jacobins, are desperate to retain control of the apparatus of the State and could find any number of ways to subvert the election. They’ll use the millions of migrants. They’ll make massive use of mail-in ballots. They’ll take full advantage of the electronic voting machines. They undoubtedly have lots of dirty tricks and surprises planned we can’t imagine. They’ll use the full force of the leftist media, academic, and entertainment complexes to propagandize. And don’t forget, the average American is now a leftist. They elected and re-elected Obama, among other things.

They could, God forbid, win. As Yogi Berra said, it ain’t over till it’s over.

International Man: How do you recommend people prepare for the coming chaos?

Doug Casey: The coming chaos will be something very much like a civil war, which is defined as a conflict where two opposing sides attempt to gain control of the same government. Using that definition, the conflict of 1861 to 1865 was not a civil war. It was simply a secession movement.

I think that Ray Dalio, the multi-billionaire, may have put his finger on the way this is going to evolve. Dalio has recently published lots of articles and a book discussing how things are likely to evolve. He’s a rather dry writer, but let me summarize.

He sees countries generally going through six stages, the last one characterized by war, civil war, revolution, or the like. He feels we’re at the very end of stage five and right at the cusp of stage six. I generally concur with his outlook—but lots of people today have a gloomy view on the shape of things to come; that’s nothing new. What’s important here is that Dalio speaks as someone who’s worth $15 billion and is totally immersed in the current system at the Master of the Universe level.

What’s likely to be the catalyst that sets things off? He (correctly, IMO) puts his finger on the bankruptcy of the government, presumably accompanied by the collapse of the debt-based banking system and hyperinflation of the dollar.

What does he suggest we do, now that we’re looking at something like a civil war, with all the trimmings?

Dalio says you have three options. One: pick your side and fight. Two: keep your head down and hide. Three: flee. Everybody has to determine which alternative is best for them.

Trying to hide, especially in today’s world, is not very effective. Your neighbors will ask, to paraphrase that infamous quote from Baby Bush some years ago, “Are you with us or against us?” Don’t be sure that if you choose sides, you’ll necessarily be with the “good guys.”

You might consider following in the footsteps of Rhett Butler in “Gone with the Wind”. Enough said.

Trump’s VP Pick–JD Vance

I never quite liked the guy, even though his book was OK. Though he dished a lot of dirt on his family after he split town to make it rich in the big city. So there’s that. Having never looked into him, I didn’t have much to go on. He just seemed off.

Well, Doug over at Offgrid with Doug and Stacy did a little digging. Here’s what he came up with:

He went to Yale and is Skull and Crossbones like the Bush Family “supposedly” They did a movie about the Bush and crossbones connection ….just a FYI

JD Vance worked for a company called ambrosia. Ambrosia is another word for pink and pink is another word for adrenochrome.

The company ambrosia has since been shut down but what they were doing was taking the blood from young people and transfusing it into the older people with the belief that it would make them younger. https://onezero.medium.com/exclusive-ambrosia-the-young-blood-transfusion-startup-is-quietly-back-in-business-ee2b7494b417

Then here is another interesting fact about Vance, he worked at the same law firm as Barak Obama and Michelle “Sidney Austin Law Firm”

His wife worked on a board that is/was owned by Bill Gates and his wife is a Cambridge Scholar meaning she accepted money from The Gates Foundation

Oh, and he was a NEVER TRUMPER lots of video floating around about that

now his wife

Usha Chilukuri Vance she up and quit he job real quiet like right before the convention.

She worked as a corporate litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson a prestigious law firm in SAN FRANSISCO CALIFORNIA

Here is where it gets kinda weird, they removed everything about her from the website. Her entire biography was scrubbed.

Did you know that California lawmakers wanted to make it legal to kill babies up to 27 days after birth?

maybe there is some weird connection there but that all seems suspect!

I will keep digging and showing yall what I find, you take it from there.

I will say from what I watched of the republican convention it had a weird Hunger Games Illuminati feel to it lol

The Reason Biden Was Permitted to Debate Trump

from Martin Armstrong

Biden Secon Term

The first presidential debate of the year was a humiliating moment for our nation. Does one even need to bother discussing the questions mentioned when the public was in utter shock at the current president’s physical and mental state?

Joe Biden was sent to the podium as the sacrificial lamb of the DNC. His handlers knew his condition, and no amount of preparation, layup questions, or alterations from the liberal media could have improved his performance. Even Donald Trump seemed concerned that Joe Biden would keel over at any moment. There is a reason the Democrats agreed to this debate — they are setting up the stage for a candidate swap.

Biden was struggling to speak coherently and mumbled through most of his answers. As directed, he began EVERY answer by saying his candidate was a liar and anything Trump said was malarky. The world now knows that the emperor has no clothes. Public officials have long known Biden’s condition as we see a preview of it in the media, with Biden wandering on stage or struggling to communicate with other world leaders. The lie that Joe Biden is of good health has been exposed.

Trump.JoeDebate

The lamb has been sacrificed. The media would be cherry-picking words to praise Joe Biden, but they are in panic mode. Every channel is discussing Biden’s health, with some saying he simply had a cold. If a military member, pilot, doctor, or anyone in a position of power had a cold, would you expect them to act robotically and lifelessly? This man has arguably the most powerful job in the world, and tens of thousands of people believe it is OK for someone in his condition to have the nuclear codes. That 8% approval rating likely went down to next to nothing.

Trump strategically kept a cool head during the debate. He has long been accused of bullying Uncle Joe, as the media likes to call him, but Biden’s current state is too pathetic to mock. Every media consultant and journalist, even those on the furthest end of the spectrum, is taking to the airways today to say that there is still time before the convention to swap in another candidate.

Trump vs Hillary 2024

Joe Biden is physically and mentally unfit to run the country – period. No one wants a Harris presidency. The Democrats will swap out Joe for someone whom the public is already familiar with and knows. They began the debate by discussing their favorite topic to sway one-issue voters of abortion. A female candidate with experience who the public already knows will be there solution. Hillary Clinton will have her day once again to face off against Donald Trump. She is practically the face of the establishment. People may not find Clinton relatable but those who dislike Trump will vote for her.

Trump skirted around the question of whether he would accept the election results before saying he would only accept the results if the election were fair. What measures are in place to ensure that the next election is fair? The host did not bother to ask Biden whether the Democrats would accept the results of the election, as they have been able to cry “interference” without rebuke. Neither side is going to accept the results this November. Socrates* indicates a Trump win if all is fairly counted. I do not see how the establishment could permit that to occur.

*Editors note: Socrates is a super computer that runs predictions on the state of the world, investments and the like.

Here’s Why These Troubling Trends Mean Mass Chaos is Likely Coming to the West…

by Chris MacIntosh

From Doug Casey’s International Man Newsletter

Coming from the murky island of Britain

Sticking with our pasty friends

“The most common risk is localised flooding, according to the government’s risk register, leading to power and water outages. But among the 100 other potential threats people should be prepared for include another pandemic, a mass cyberattack that cuts off the internet, disruption to UK space systems that affect GPS signals — or, in an extreme case, could include conflict or even the potential for a nuclear attack in continental Europe.”

You will note that the British public are being placed on a war footing. This is the psychological preparation for a mass chaos event. I’ve been telling you for ages that the bankers need to eliminate the debt, and I’ve also pointed out that historical examples highlight the risks of the elites losing control of the populace in such situations and in some instances their heads, too.

They know this, and as such have prepared for a means to control what will be millions of impoverished (you’ll own nothing) and very angry (and be happy) citizens. This control mechanism has many facets. “Hate speech,” search and seizure laws, pandemic treaties, CBDCs, and attendant authoritarian control measures, including lockdowns, quarantining citizens, and forced… ahem… how to say this politely, “medical procedures.” The big daddy, of course, is CBDCs.

Where these are implemented, then resistance is quickly squashed. It’s tough to mount a protest when you can’t get on a bus, fill up your car to drive to said protest, or even complain online on social media. If the “hate speech” laws don’t get you, the shutting off of your access to the internet and banking system surely will.

When talking about conscription many people will say, “Oh, but the populace doesn’t have a stomach for it.” The problem is that you could have made the same argument in 1939.

And it’s not only Britain. It’s Denmark, too.

“The reality is that Denmark and our allies are threatened by hybrid war,” Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said during a speech in the town of Allinge. “Each of us should prepare for the fact that, for a short period, we may be without access to electricity or water, or be unable to buy basic necessities.”

Then, over in the land of the free, the same agenda is being rolled out.

Military Draft Coming? House Passes Measure To Automatically Register Men For Selective Service

“The House of Representatives on Friday approved its version of the annual defense policy bill, effectively clearing the $883.7 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to move forward in a 217-199 vote which largely fell along party lines. Only three Republicans opposed it.

A number of ‘controversial’ amendments are part of it, setting up a further fight with Democrats as it moves forward, including a measure empowering the National Guard to crack down on the southern border.

But among the most interesting aspects to the bill for Fiscal Year 2025 is an amendment to the NDAA which automatically registers all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System.”

At a recent conference in Orlando (Rebel Capitalist Live), I asked the crowd whether they understood that their country (US) was at war with Russia and, by default, China. It’s a topic I’ve spilled a bucket load of digital ink on for years now — the coming civil war in the US as well as the global war that’s now unfolding.

Now, I’m aware this is at least ostensibly an investment newsletter, but the reality is that geopolitics is arguably the most important driver in capital flows and hence investment outcomes.

Furthermore, what good is a sparkling Interactive Brokers account with more green than a Costa Rican jungle if you and or your kids or grandkids are being shipped off to the meat grinder fighting some bankers’ wars designed to accomplish the twin goals of depopulation (Agenda 2030, Rockefeller Foundation, Club of Rome) and enriching the deep state? It’s all kinda pointless. The time to obtain those second passports, residencies, and offshore banking is fast running out. Do with this warning what you will.

Oh, and by the way. The probability that the prepping by multiple countries of their cattle citizens all over the world (US, UK, Germany, Australia, and I’m sure I’m missing others) for conscription is not coordinated is about 0%.

It is obvious to anyone watching the shitshow of US politics and European politics.

The gay mentally ill race communists want to and are taking us all to war. We need to reject them at every level. If we do not, our future is bleak.

Speaking of European politics…

A Firm No!

Let’s see what’s just happened in the last few weeks.

  • France: Marine Le Pen’s party trounced Emmanuel Macron’s party in France, winning 34% of the vote, with Macron calling a snap election.
  • Belgium’s Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo, resigned after the right-wing in Belgium made gains.
  • Italy: Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing party is set to win the most seats in Italy.
  • Germany’s ruling coalition was defeated by conservatives, with AFD finishing second.
  • Ireland: Numerous anti-immigration candidates were elected in Ireland.
  • Holland: Geert Wilders’ party in the Netherlands gained many seats to become the second largest party.
  • In Austria, the right-wing FPÖ party doubled their number of seats to become the largest party.
  • In Spain, the right-wing Vox party has become the third largest party with around 10% of the votes.
  • England: Nigel Farage’s Reform Party announced their manifesto:
    • Reject the WEF agenda
    • Cancel WHO membership
    • Reject cashless agenda
    • Laws to stop woke ideology
    • Free speech bill
    • Stop cancel culture
    • Scrap Net Zero
    • Fast-track nuclear energy
    • Support farmers
    • Scrap bans on fossil fuel cars
    • Tax system to support marriage
    • Opposed to CBDCs

This is a clear sign of the anger from the citizens.

To be honest, I’m not sure we’re going to immediately see much change. I think this looks like a grind lower. You see, as long as the bankers (ECB) control the monetary system in Brussels, politics within the member states won’t matter much. The levers of control must be broken and the process to doing so, while now underway, will be a fierce battle. The fragility will come via the currency markets. We’re already seeing massive spreads in the bond markets between EU member states (they never managed to consolidate the bond market in the EU). Next up will be the currency markets (euro), and that almost certainly means capital controls. You’ve been warned.

Practical takeaways? The euro will be the breaking point. It either breaks from inertia or the globalists self-destruct it, but self-destruction won’t happen until they’ve got their precious CBDCs in place.

Why do I say that? Easy! CBDCs ARE capital controls. It is programmable money. The moment they’ve implemented it, they can — at the touch of a button — program your ability to use it to oh… buy a plane ticket to GTFO dodge or send it to any jurisdiction of your liking. Want to fly to your Plan B residence in Fughedabouttheworldistan? “Sorry Sir/Madam, your access to that service is not consistent with the UN’s sustainability goals, you climate killer.”

So in the currency world, the USD benefits, but in reality we’re seeing a repudiation of all fiat. Why is it that all the while that gold keeps making new highs we’ve not even seen institutional buying?

I’ll tell you why. For the same reason Wall Street is going to go down with this ship. They’re filled now with cowards afraid to miss a benchmark. Cowards that are too afraid to tell their masters to eat sand rather than present their preferred pronouns at ESG at DEI meetings. The buying of gold, by the way, is from the central banks of foreign nations.


And it’s not just the last year either.


If you squint hard, you’ll notice that three (Brazil, Russia, India, China) are members of the BRICS countries. Furthermore, Turkey will join BRICS. Watch!

I point this out because, as I’ve been sharing with you for a couple of weeks now, we are watching the emergence of a multipolar world, with a US-centric world on one side and a China-centric world on the other. For the first time ever, BRICS countries’ share of the global economy has surpassed that of the G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and US) on a purchasing parity basis.

Gold plays an important role in this multi-polarization. The BRICS need the precious metal to support their currencies and shift away from the US dollar, which has served as the global foreign reserve currency for about a century. More and more global trade is now being conducted in the Chinese yuan, and there are reports that the BRICS — which could eventually include other important emerging economies such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and more — are developing their own medium for payments.

Speaking of which…

Putin confirms Brics’ independent payment system in the pipeline

“Addressing a crowd of 12,000 attendees from more than 100 countries of the world at the 27th annual St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Putin said such a transaction system would be “unmoved by political pressure, abuse and external sanctions”.

The news came on the back of the president’s announcement that Russia has overtaken Japan to become the fourth largest economy in the world.”

Vlad went on to explain why:

“It is no secret, of course, that the reliability of, and trust in Western payment systems has been thoroughly undermined, and by the Western countries themselves. Together with foreign partners, we will increase the use of national currencies in foreign-trade settlements, and increase the safety and efficiency of such operations through the Brics line.”

The moment that the West nicked Russian assets (ostensibly to give to the cocaine dwarf) was the moment that a global move was put into place for an alternative.

It’ll take a while to be put into place, but it will come. People tend to overestimate things in the short term and underestimate them in the long run.

This is broadly true of technology (the motor car, the telephone, internet), but I think this will be no different. In the short term, the US dollar isn’t going anywhere, despite all the gold bugs screaming for a dollar crash. However, in the longer term, we are witnessing the end of the Western-led financial hegemony… and that is, of course, dollar-based.

I don’t believe we need to play this game of choosing. It’s easy. The alternative is going to need to be reliable and trustworthy. This will mean it’s going to be backed by hard assets. Just buy the hard assets. They’re the cheapest they’ve been in all of history (no kidding), so on a risk/reward basis is a no brainer.
