The New Tyranny Few Even Recognize

While the population is in shock from their elaborate implementation of the COVID19 planetary coup, the Deep State is now doubling down on their attack by introducing a new weapon for totalitarian control.

Revolutionary Times and Systemic Collapse

Some have queried how it could be that President Putin would co-operate with President Trump to have OPEC+ push oil prices higher – when those higher prices precisely would only help sustain U.S. oil production. In effect, President Putin was being asked to underwrite a subsidy to the U.S. economy – at the expense of Russia’s own oil and gas sales – since U.S. shale production simply is not economic at these prices. In other words, Russia seemed to be shooting itself in the foot.

The World is Dedollarizing

What if tomorrow nobody but the United States would use the US-dollar? Every country, or society would use their own currency for internal and international trade, their own economy-based, non-fiat currency. It could be traditional currencies or new government controlled crypto-currencies, but a country’s own sovereign money. No longer the US-dollar. No longer the dollar’s foster child, the Euro.

Central Banking is Central Planning

US Military Use IMF, World Bank as “Unconventional” Weapons

WASHINGTON – In a leaked military manual on “unconventional warfare” recently highlighted by WikiLeaks, the U.S. Army states that major global financial institutions — such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) — are used as unconventional, financial “weapons in times of conflict up to and including large-scale general war,” as well as in leveraging “the policies and cooperation of state governments.” Continue reading US Military Use IMF, World Bank as “Unconventional” Weapons

Resistance vs. Washington’s Silent Weapon for Not-so-Quiet Wars

Today by far the deadliest weapon of mass destruction in Washington’s arsenal lies not with the Pentagon or its traditional killing machines.

Economic Contagion? Central Banks Are the Real Culprit

The mainstream news has been awash lately in talk over the danger of economic “contagion,” primarily due to lack of dollar liquidity in emerging markets.

US Sanctions Continue to Backfire

In another slap in the face against US hegemony, China just opened up a $10 billion credit line for Iran.
