Whether we admit it or not, collapse is the default “solution.” That destiny has already been written by demographics. The saying “demographics is destiny” encapsulates the reality that demographics–rising or falling trends of births and deaths–energize or constrain economies and societies regardless of other conditions. Demographics are long-term trends, but the trends can change relatively […]
From the Rapallo Treaty to War in Ukraine: The Western Policy Towards Moscow-Berlin Relations The Biden Administration has been using the political, social, and ethnic contradictions inside Ukraine and the war itself to achieve many of his geopolitical objectives. A century ago, on April 16th, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Rapallo Treaty in […]
Whilst Europe and the U.S. never have been more closely aligned, the ‘West’ paradoxically has also never been more alone. Very occasionally, a single anecdote can almost completely summate a moment in history. And this one did: In 2005, Zbig Brzezinski, the architect of Afghanistan as quagmire to the Soviet Union, and the author of […]
After Biden’s charade-busting admission it will be difficult politically to maintain US-European “unity” over such a flagrant imperial agenda. U.S. President Joe Biden came to Europe last week riding high on European deference towards America’s leadership. Then he went to Warsaw to make a victory lap speech at the weekend which was billed as marking […]
Clinging to delusional fantasies of “free wealth” won’t lead to positive outcomes, any more than swallowing handfuls of meds leads to “free health.” Under various guises, labels and rationalizations, “free money” has now been established as the default policy fix for any problem.

By Joe LAURIA The U.S. got its war in Ukraine. Without it, Washington could not attempt to destroy Russia’s economy, orchestrate worldwide […]
As for our central banks’ defaulting on their lines of credit with the Martian Central Bank–that’s another alien intervention we’ll live to regret. I hope this won’t shock the more sensitive readers too greatly, but I’ve discovered undeniable evidence that all our planet’s problems are the result of alien intervention. Yes, aliens exist and are […]
By Caitlin JOHNSTONE It’s hard to believe that the last president spent his term pouring weapons into Ukraine, shredding treaties with Russia and ramping up cold war escalations against Moscow which helped lead us directly to the extraordinarily dangerous situation we now find ourselves in, and yet mainstream liberals spent his entire administration screaming that he was […]
Nations that fail to adapt to the end of financialization and globalization will unravel. We all sense the global order has cracked. The existing order is breaking down on multiple fronts. Those who have benefited from this arrangement are doing everything in their power to patch the cracks, while those who chafed under the old […]
Those relying on the Fed to be noticeably weak, corrupt and unskilled forever might be in for an undesirable surprise. When even the crash test dummies are nervous, it pays to pay attention. Remaining in a mild crash isn’t regrettable if all the protective gadgets pump up as meant. But in a horrific crash where […]
