The United States and NATO have convinced themselves that they can destroy Russia and China and neither will resort to nuclear weapons.  Nobody ever questions: What if we are wrong? Once upon a time, it was PRESUMED […]

Perhaps NATO is starting to wake up. They now realize that they may have to wage war on two fronts simultaneously. NATO is considering what they call a defensive move which is an “Article 5 conflict” but also an “out-of-area” battle. This is showing that NATO is no longer what it was supposed to have […]

COMMENT: Martin, After several years of reading your blog, I have concluded that Socrates’ prognostications appear to be spot on.

The Ukrainian people WRONGLY believe that Putin is their enemy. You are looking in the WRONG direction. The Ukrainian people had better overthrow Zelensky fast before they lose their entire country and could come by April 26th. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, just confirmed that he could care less about all the civilian […]

QUESTION: At the WEC, you said as the nation breaks apart, the most likely course of action will be the creation of local currencies. You also said you would post a catalog of Depression Scrip.
