30 June 2030Reader's question:"During covid, the government pour many scheme to help pour people to survive with money. But there is question about : is that effective?"For example, Government gave money for those who are eligible, an amount of money to live but in real life, they spend money on new clothes.. remember this is poor people….====The governments faced four challenges in dealing with the covid pandemic. The first was to develop medicines and treatments against the virus itself.The second was to take care of the health of the people...

EVERYDAY THE WEST LOSES MORE GROUND
I guess you'll have read that Sweden has agreed to send its poor bloody Kurdish refugees to Turkey for presumably torture and execution, in the order that Turkey can lift its veto on their joining NATO. Predictable.And after America went trying to drag Iran and Argentina out of purdah in order to take their oil, they have effectively as I understand it told him to F off and are applying to join the club of BRICS.Every day the west loses more grou...
EVERY DAY THE WEST LOSES MORE GROUND. DECOMPOSING FRENCH MACARONI
29 June 2022Have you seen those pictures of Emmanuel Macron running after Joe Biden like a schoolboy and pulling at his sleeve?Since doing so very badly in the legislative macron has lost a great deal of kudos in the country. it has come to be realised that he was always trying to do things and always restarting his initiatives and talking but without getting results. It's pretty easy to criticise Macron, but are Johnson and Scholtz doing any better? I don't think so I just wish that there was a plan for Europe to "take back control" and kick out...

WW3 IS IN THE OVEN. GONNA BE A REAL HOT WAR
It's all about debt and resources. What we want is to pay off the debt using someone else's resources and war is the best way to achieve that.The debt can only be repaid through a massive asset deflation which will push the world into recession, or else by a hyperinflation which will completely burn off the currency, possibly a combination of deflation and hyperflation.It seems that the American government's interest payments are around 120% of its tax receipts. That means it's printing money just to pay the interest, nevermind all its other commitments...

WHAT IS "THE GREAT REPLACEMENT"?
25 June 2022You see in France that Eric Zemmour made a great start in the Presidential election and got 18% and then dropped down through the floor through 7 to 4% in the second round and failed to win a single seat in the legislative elections.He made many mistakes in his campaign, but the mainstream media are trying to get him to apologise for his saying that the greatest issue facing France is an identity issue and is not a cost of living issue.His party is called Reconquest and his issue is called The Great Replacement. What is it about?It...

THIS PROVOKED INVASION
Very clear how America provoked Russia into this invasion, leaving Russia no alternative possibly trapping Russia and tricking it into invading.It is very plain that this war is the result of: - NATO advances, breaking 1991 US promises & naturally perceived by Russia as threats to its security- Failure of esp Fr and Ge to uphold the Minsk agreements devolving powers to the Eastern regions andKiev, armed continuously by the West since 2014, shelling Donbas since that time and esp heavy shelling in the days and weeks prior to Russia's "SMO",...
UKRAINE: THE AIMS, THE OPTIONS
22 June 2022America seeks to weaken Russia, ok, that's published fact. We have your RAND_RR3063 and more.But Europe too - as a potential rival, esp Ge with Ru, America wants to be sure it's Master of the Universe. Also :make Europe dependent on NATO (run by the DoD - they silenced Fr n Ge at Budapest) and on Am arms; and as a middle-ranker, without a military in reality, and heavily pressured by America, Eu is unable to think and develop a strategy of its own, in its own interests; you could argue this is all America's answer...

FORWARD EARNINGS AND STOCK RETURNS
MY favourite SUS has really let me down. It's a small company, probably little or no access to capital markets, attracting customers for its loans through attractive rates, great service and superior debt portfolio management.Most commentators are convinced we are heading into a recession. A recession stemming from the enormous debt levels resulting fromsuccessive QE cycles, each lesssuccessful than the last.To which must be added infltion, coming out of covid, and this war.Central Banks are raising rates to reduce demand to kerb inflation....

RUSSIA, THE INTERNATIONAL PARIAH - REALLY?
16 June 2022Many of the commentators on the situation in Ukraine seem to think that Russia has been kicked out of the international system, that it's a pariah and that it will never be re-admitted.Fact is, the Russian and European economies have been very closely integrated for decades and the proof is the squealing you can hear from France and Germany now that they have to kow-tow to American sanctions.But reality is that the entrepreneurs in the small and medium-sized Russian companies and the managers in the larger companies have, by their frontier...
PROPAGANDA, THE WAY IT WORKS, THE HARM IT DOES US
16 June 2022They say that truth is the first victim of war, and nuance the second. So from one or two starting points, we adopt a whole position which can be very black and white - they are the monsters, we are the saviours. A few words can set off many automatic reflexes that might evade our capacity to think rationally from raw facts about a subject and develop a different, even opposite to our feelings, point of view. This would be a good thing because we must see reality if we want to change it or adapt to it. It's no good accepting unthinkingly...

HOW A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO A CIVIL WAR ISSUE
15 June 2022https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/14/christian-factory-worker-fired-spot-refusing-take-necklace/?li_source=LI&li_medium=liftigniter-rhrA Christian worker was fired on the spot for wearing a a necklace.Sounds to me like it's a H&S issue.Would he be allowed in to the factory wearing Rangers FC stripes? Or Azov chevrons?This comes back to my human rights and freedom of expression, at the risk of offending someone not sharing my beliefs or values.It's a typical problem of advanced liberal democracies with over-extended diversity. ...

PRISONERS' DILEMMA
Need to get real - there isn't a military soln short of complete destruction.Need to recognise this and head for a negotiated compromise.Reference: try the Prisoners' Dilemma: we are heading for the lose-lose quadrant. A re-think is needed to redirect us to win-win. It can be done if the imagination and intelligence can be found.WHAT DO THEY WANT?AMERICAAmerica seeks to weaken Russia, going back to 1991, 1945 and 1916 and this is clearly stated in the 2019 Rand report RAND_RR3063 which lists strategic initiatives to obtain this. America wants...

CAN THE RoW SHUT THESE TWO BULLIES UP?
09 June 2022How's the Ukraine war going?It is not Zelinsky calling the shots, it's Blinken and the US foreign policy elite.If zelinsky doesn't keep fighting "to the last ukrainien", UK PM Boris - acting no doubt on instructions from Washington - has told him NATO will withdraw its support. What would happen then?Zelinsky couldn't go to his people, after all this suffering and destruction, and capitulate... could he?So he'd have to watch the wrecking ball. Is there any hope for "peace without victory"?There is a hope, it is with the Turkey...

UKRAINE : AN END IN SIGHT?
8 June 2022It is now obvious that Ukraine is losing this war.The fault largely lies with Boris Johnson, doing the British diplomacy for America's sec of State Antony Blincken and sec of Defence Lloyd Austin. With any luck, he'll be gone shortly and that will open up the possibility of a softer line and a peace settlement.There was the Turkish peace process from March which Johnson threw into disarray by telephoning Zelenski and later visiting him, to advise him that if he ever considered negotiation or concession with the Russians, he would...

GREMANY IS RE-ARMING LIKE THE NAZIS
4 June 2022 Germany is rearming like the Nazis, says Putin. The story goes back further than this, according to George Friedman.https://youtu.be/r-8KV_GurLY
Remember that prior to Bismarck, Germany was just a
collection of many little different states, so while from 1492 onwards, Britain, the
Netherlands, France and Spain had their empires, with whom to trade
and grow rich; Germany had nothing.
The Germans unite together very well, they work together
very well, they are super efficient and...

WHEN THE WAR ENDS
3 June 2022A couple of points to make today.The final settlement of this war when it comes in a couple of months or maybe a couple of years will look much like the deal that Ukraine signed and then reneged on at Minsk in 2014 and 2015: - Ukraine will continue to exist as an independent and sovereign country although it will be neutral - Crimea will remain Russian as it pretty much always has been - and the shelling of the Donbas by Kiev will cease because those two oblasts will achieve a measure of Independence.The difference between...
