September 4th, 2023. Autumn. Ukraine war, what prevails now? More hardship. Tweets, youtube links, quotations. Recommend: youtube. Macgregor. Niall Ferguson. Larry Johnson. Summer is over, people are returning to work but the “fight had to go on”. Lives are lost, suffering is beyond comprehension and the media is lulled into complacency by misinformation. People need to be more discerning. We need an end to this war. We need to ask the Oligarchs to unite and seek a peaceful resolution. China has offered a plan and others can too.

Former CIA Larry Johnson discusses how the BRICS nations will topple the US empire by banding together on commodities like oil and driving up the prices. The US military needs a boogyman to justify the massive pentagon budget. BRICS will become more powerful than OPEC+. The peace deal brokered by China between Saudi Arabia and Iran will be looked back on as a gamechanger. NASA is a money laundering scam. Biden is making enemies faster than he can make new allies. The Maui, Hawaii fire ups are a demonstration of how unprepared the US is for major issues.

Niall Ferguson is a historian, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution & Stanford University and an author. We often hear that history tends to repeat itself. But if you’re a professional historian, just how accurate is that statement? What are the big lessons that we keep missing? And how doomed is our future if we don’t learn from the past? Expect to learn Niall’s opinion on the quote “History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”, why everyone should read more history, the biggest lessons most people keep ignoring, why the modern abandonment of formal education for smart people is actually a good thing, just how big of a threat China is to the West, what Niall thinks will happen in America in 2024 and much more…

What a shocking sign of weakness. An EU official was taken hostage in Iran 500 days ago, but instead of squeezing Iran in every possible way to get him released, they kept the whole incident under wraps. Shameful behaviour by the EU & huge sympathy for Mr Floderus and his family

There is a homely old adage which runs: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far.

In Stalin’s Russia racial persecution was often disguised as class warfare. More than 1.5 million members of ethnic minorities died as a result of forced resettlement.
