<p>In the central part of China, Xiangyang in Hubei Province shines like a bright pearl, exuding a unique charm. It is a witness to history, an inheritor of culture and a source of inspiration for many films. The ancient city wall of Xiangyang, one of the best-preserved ancient city walls in China, is the best witness to Xiangyang's history. It was first built in the Western Han Dynasty and has been repaired and expanded many times. Every brick and stone on the city wall bears the marks of time, telling the glories and vicissitudes of the past. With the development of the film industry, Xiangyang's unique historical culture and natural scenery have attracted the attention of many filmmakers. These films not only bring new popularity to Xiangyang but also present Xiangyang's historical culture in a brand new way to the audience.</p>

title: In some scenarios, tariffs actually make sense
author: ;Lisa P

<p data-sanitized-class="">By Bruce Pardy | The Epoch Times</p><p data-sanitized-class="">President Donald Trump confirmed this week that new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China will go into effect on March 4. For weeks and months, a chorus of conservatives and libertarians have savaged Trump’s fondness for tariffs. Tariffs punish your own people, said <a href="https://reason.com/2024/07/10/biden-and-trump-are-both-disastrously-wrong-about-tariffs/" target="_blank">John Stossel in <em>Reason Magazine</em></a>. Tariffs are taxes, and taxing trade will mean less trade and higher prices, said <a href="https://nationalinterest.org/feature/donald-trumps-tariffs-bad-economics-and-maybe-illegal-too" target="_blank">Sen. Rand Paul</a>. The optimal level of tariffs is zero, said <a href="https://financialpost.com/opinion/trump-trade-mutually-beneficial" target="_blank">Walter Block in the <em>Financial Post</em></a>. They’re not wrong. But like Trump himself, sometimes tariffs are not that crazy.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Yes, tariffs are taxes, and taxes are bad. Tariffs tax your own people when they buy foreign goods. Tariffs raise prices and increase inflation. They impede transactions that benefit both sides. Consumers and producers in both countries would be better off without trade impediments. Yes, the ideal level of tariffs is zero.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">But circumstances are rarely ideal. Paradoxically, if you value free trade and economic competition, sometimes tariffs are the best choice.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">A small town has two bakeries. They offer delicacies of the highest quality. The owner of the Indigo Bakery is friends with the mayor. The mayor uses his office to benefit his friends. He arranges for the town to subsidize the Indigo Bakery.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">The Indigo Bakery uses its largesse to undercut the prices of its competitor, the Violet Bakery. The Violet Bakery cannot compete. It goes bust, not because its products were inferior but because it lacked influence in the political sphere. The town breached the first principle of free markets: The same rules apply to everyone.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Two car manufacturers are in adjacent countries. Each sells its cars on both sides of the border. The government of the Indigo Country imposes a tariff on cars from the Violet Country. Indigo importers pay the tariff tax to the Indigo Country’s government. Under a 20 percent tariff, importers pay $20 in tax for every $100 worth of car. They pass on that expense to Indigo purchasers. Inside the Indigo Country, the price of Violet cars goes up. More Indigo consumers buy Indigo cars instead. Like the Indigo Bakery, the Indigo manufacturer has an artificial advantage.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Of course, the best solution is to remove the tariff. But the Indigo government refuses. It protects its domestic friends. If you are the government of the Violet Country, what to do? You cannot remove the tariff, but you can remove the advantage it creates.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Match the tariff. Level the playing field. Subject competitors to the same rules.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">That’s what Trump has proposed to do. On Feb. 13, the White House released a memorandum on <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/02/reciprocal-trade-and-tariffs/" target="_blank">Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs</a>. A few days later on X, Trump <a href="https://x.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1891572283161944433?s=12" target="_blank">described his intentions:</a> “On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff, meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less! … It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us.” Reciprocal tariffs are scheduled to take effect in April.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Free trade purists object. Even reciprocal tariffs, they say, are bad. They would cause the same harm on the other side of the border. Indigo Country tariffs disadvantage Violet businesses but not Violet consumers, who can buy Indigo products tariff-free at cheaper prices. A reciprocal tariff, the argument goes, would increase prices, reduce transactions, and be less “efficient,” just like the original tariff.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">But that’s a chimera. For real “free trade,” the same rules apply to all competitors. That’s as true for exporting manufacturers as it is for small-town bakeries. In every country, people both produce and consume. If they don’t produce, they can’t consume. If Violet workers lose their jobs, they won’t be able to buy Indigo cars, even tariff-free.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Back in the small town, the Indigo Bakery used its windfall to lower its prices—but only until the Violet Bakery went bust. No longer subject to competition, the Indigo Bakery was free to raise its prices to new highs. So too between countries. If foreign tariffs cause Violet manufacturers to go out of business, prices in the Violet Country will go up.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">The United States is the most lucrative domestic market in the world. For some reason, Canadian business and governments seem to believe they have a right to access it. Yet Canada insists upon imposing a plethora of tariffs and trade restrictions of its own.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Yes, the best tariffs are no tariffs. But imposing reciprocal tariffs at least preserve a level playing field and a fair fight. If I was President Trump, that’s what I would do.</p><p data-sanitized-class=""><a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/bruce-pardy-in-some-scenarios-tariffs-actually-make-sense-5817962">For the original version of this commentary, see the publisher’s website here</a>.</p><p data-sanitized-class=""><em>Bruce Pardy is executive director of </em><a href="https://www.rightsprobe.org/" target="_blank"><em>Rights Probe</em></a><em> and professor of law at Queen’s University.</em></p>

As the British Monarchy’s envoy, Starmer’s mission is to salvage, at all costs, the Churchillian &quot;British-American Special Relationship,&quot; through which the City of London and Wall Street have maintained their control over a bankrupt unipolar world order, ever since FDR’s untimely death.\n\nStarmer’s second objective in Washington is to ensure that peace does not break out in Ukraine, that presidents Trump and President Putin do not succeed in putting an end to the carnage.\n\nBut Starmer’s problem is that the world has changed drastically as a result of the Feb. 12 phone conversation between Trump and Putin, followed by high-level diplomatic discussions between their representatives in Riyadh on Feb. 18. Not only are both sides committed to normalizing their relations, and to work out a peace that addresses the underlying causes that led to the war; the two nations have even begun to talk about possible joint economic cooperation on mutually beneficial projects.\n\n&quot;The US is now the enemy of the West,&quot; exclaimed the Financial Times’s Chief Economic Commentator, Commander of the British Empire (CBE) Martin Wolf. London’s Economist magazine agreed: &quot;Faced with a collapsing transatlantic alliance, stunned European leaders this week began a diplomatic effort to salvage what is left of it.&quot;\n\nZepp-LaRouche summarized the situation: &quot;I have the feeling that the European elites have really lost the connection to reality for such a long time, that they cannot adjust to a changing strategic situation… When someone has lost all touch with reality, you normally call them insane.&quot;\n\n&quot;Unless we cultivate a higher level of statecraft,&quot; Zepp-LaRouche warned, &quot;we won’t get out of the pit.&quot;\n\nIt has never been more important to bring together the forces for peace in the world than this very moment. The clear freakout from the Empire at the thought of losing their geopolitical hold on the Global Majority, as well as the United States, is palpable.\n\nJoin the International Peace Coalition this Friday at 11am ET with peace leaders from around the world.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/KAd3kMCPu9s/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

Since then, every rotten American policy, from the dropping of two atomic bombs to the Vietnam War and post 9/11 &quot;forever wars,&quot; has been the result of the subservience of a corrupt faction of the US intelligence community to this imperial &quot;special relationship,&quot; so named by Winston Churchill in 1946. Accordingly, all major opponents to this servile role of the United States to the empire she defeated in revolution, have been persecuted, marginalized, or assassinated.\n\nNow, on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, it is past time to end this insanity which has brought to world to the brink of nuclear war, and return the United States to her anti-colonial heritage. Toward this end, The LaRouche Organization has released a 4-page dossier 'For America’s 250th Birthday: Celebrate American Independence! End The U.S.-British Special Relationship!' which can be downloaded, printed and circulated. https://laroucheorganization.com/article/2025/02/25/circulate-bulletin-end-us-british-special-relationship\n\nThis week Diane will be joined by Manhattan Project coordinator Dennis Speed to spell out our strategy for victory in this historic campaign.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/qtOavzLhB-k/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

If attention peaks in summer and working memory in fall, should we align work and study habits with these seasonal rhythms?

title: Why can't we go back to small phones?

content:
<img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/iphone-SE-1.jpg" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"><p>Last month, Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/19/apple-discontinues-iphone-se/">discontinued the third-generation iPhone SE</a>, marking an unceremonious end to mainstream compact smartphones. Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo/OnePlus, and Vivo, the <a href="https://www.counterpointresearch.com/insights/global-smartphone-share/">top four Android smartphone manufacturers</a>, have not released a single phone with a display 5.5 inches or smaller in the past three years, <a href="https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2022&amp;fDisplayInchesMax=5.5&amp;idOS=2" rel="noreferrer">according to data from GSMArena</a>. Apple's smallest phones are now the 6.1-inch iPhone 16e and iPhone 16.</p><p>There are still a few niche companies working on smaller devices, like <a href="https://www.unihertz.com/" rel="noreferrer">Unihertz</a>, but those phones almost always have low-end hardware and limited software support. Eric Migicovsky, the founder of the Pebble smartwatch, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23125959/pebble-founder-eric-migicovsky-small-android-phone-quest-iphone-mini">announced plans in 2022</a> to create a compact Android phone—that project is <a href="https://www.theverge.com/mobile/609857/small-android-phone-beep-not-priority-pebble-instead">now on hold</a> while Migicovsky is focused on bringing back Pebble watches.</p><p>It really seems like high-quality compact smartphones are gone for good, but not just because real-world demand for these devices has declined over the years. They're gone <em>and</em> increasingly difficult to bring back, as both hardware and software trends towards large devices as the 'default' form factor. I think there is a narrow segment where small phones can work, but probably not as the 'flagship smartphone in half the size' product that most people might want.</p><h2 data-sanitized-id="how-we-got-to-big-phones">How we got to big phones</h2><p>Let's travel back to 2011 for a moment. <em>Transformers: Dark of the Moon</em> hit theaters, the Occupy Wall Street movement was in full swing, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Portal 2 were finally released, and no one could escape from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ6zr6kCPj8">LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem</a>. This is the world in which the first Samsung Galaxy Note arrived, with its 5.3-inch display and S Pen stylus.</p><p>The Galaxy Note was not a uniquely giant phone for the time—the <a href="https://www.anandtech.com/show/3853/the-dell-streak-review">5-inch Dell Streak</a> predated the Galaxy Note by over a year—but it was a significant departure from most mainstream smartphones and heavily marketed. Michael Calore for <em>Wired</em> said in <a href="https://www.wired.com/2012/02/samsung-galaxy-note/" rel="noreferrer">his 2012 review</a>, "Closer to a tablet than a phone, the Note dwarfs the iPhones and Droids around it. Hold it up to your face to make a call and everyone around you laughs. Seriously, it never gets old."</p><figure data-sanitized-class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/GALAXY-Note_1.jpg" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?" loading="lazy" width="691" height="424" data-sanitized-class="kg-image"><figcaption><span>Credit: </span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/galaxy-note" rel="noreferrer"><span>Samsung</span></a></figcaption></figure><p>These giant phones were definitely absurd at first. I didn't have a Galaxy Note, but I did have the <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2011/11/21/2553335/samsung-galaxy-player-4-0-5-0-review" rel="noreferrer">Samsung Galaxy Player 5</a> (also called the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0), which was a 5-inch Android device intended as an iPod Touch competitor. I received many comments about it from other students at school, and I have a vivid memory of a security officer commenting "I could watch TV on that!" to me as I put it into a plastic tray for scanning at an airport.</p><p>There were some issues with this larger form factor, most of which still exist today to varying extents. That <em>Wired</em> review mentions, "it's too wide to type or scroll comfortably with the thumb of one hand" and was "tough to carry in your front pocket comfortably while walking around or riding a bike." <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2012/1/23/2722302/samsung-galaxy-note-review">Vlad Savov's review</a> at <em>The Verge</em> said the phone had a "one-size-fits-none form factor," and "pocketing the Note is an exercise in either frustration or denial."</p><p>There were benefits to the comically-large form factor, though. Touch keyboards worked significantly better with larger screens, placing another nail in the coffin of BlackBerry-style phones with physical keyboards. <em>Engadget</em> <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2011-10-28-samsung-galaxy-note-review.html">said</a> at the time, "A  larger display means larger keys, which are easier to see and simpler to tap accurately — if you can reach them." The larger screen was also just better for reading websites and books, watching videos and movies, and playing games. I certainly enjoyed <em>Minecraft</em> and <em>Bloons Tower Defense 5</em> on my Galaxy Player 5.</p><div data-lexical-signup-form data-sanitized-class="kg-card kg-signup-card kg-width-wide ">

        </div><p>Battery life was perhaps the strongest selling point for the original Galaxy Note. This was simple physics: the larger form factor could fit a larger 2,500 mAh battery, while that year's iPhone 4s had a ~1430 mAh battery, and the Galaxy S2 from a few months earlier had a 1,650 mAh battery. <em>Engadget</em> called the battery life "phenomenal," and that review from <em>The Verge</em> said, "I could regularly go from the start of one day to the end of the next without recharging the Note."</p><p>I strongly suspect battery life was the main reason large phones eventually became mainstream, as phones could continue increasing performance without sacrificing all-day (or even two-day) battery life. Samsung doubled down on this with the Galaxy Note 2's even bigger 3,100 mAh battery, though it still <a href="https://www.anandtech.com/show/6386/samsung-galaxy-note-2-review-t-mobile-/4">wasn't the top of the pack in battery benchmarks</a>, as the larger screen did eat up some of those power reserves.</p><p>Samsung continued releasing new Galaxy Note phones on a regular basis, and slowly but surely, larger phones became mainstream. The 5.2-inch <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/09/lgs-g2-smartphone-gets-caught-living-in-the-shadows-of-giants/">LG G</a>2 arrived in 2013, the same year as the 5.9-inch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GrIWdORHvc">Oppo N1</a> and 6-inch <a href="https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-Fonepad-Note-FHD-6-Smartphone.105172.0.html" rel="noreferrer">ASUS Fonepad Note FHD6</a>. Nokia joined the big-screen party with the 6-inch <a href="https://www.cnet.com/reviews/nokia-lumia-1320-review/" rel="noreferrer">Lumia 1320</a> in 2014, around the same time as Apple released the 5.5-inch <a href="https://youtu.be/WuC6b43_kLQ" rel="noreferrer">iPhone 6 Plus</a>.</p><figure data-sanitized-class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/Untitled.jpg" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?" loading="lazy" width="1898" height="853" data-sanitized-class="kg-image"><figcaption><span>Credit: </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38IqQpwPe7s" rel="noreferrer"><span>Apple</span></a></figcaption></figure><p>Eventually, other benefits to larger screens became apparent. You could fit more complex camera systems in larger devices, because camera lenses and sensors are similarly bound to the laws of physics as lithiom-ion batteries. Larger camera sensors <a href="https://www.dxomark.com/dxomark-decodes-how-a-large-sensor-in-a-smartphone-affects-image-quality/">improve low-light image quality</a>, and more lenses (each with their own fine-tuned sensor) gives you more flexibility in photos and videos. I suspect the <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/amo/media/games/mobile-games/worldwide" rel="noreferrer">rise of mobile gaming throughout the 2010s and 2020s</a> also created a snowball effect, as mobile games benefit greatly from larger batteries and screens.</p><p>Sure, larger phones are still harder to use with one hand and stuff into a pocket, but almost everything else is an improvement. The higher battery capacity improves daily usage, and perhaps more importantly, makes long-term battery health less of a concern. I bought my iPhone 15 at launch in September 2023, and after ~1.5 years of use and an 11% drop in maximum capacity, the phone still easily lasts all day. The larger display makes web browsing, games, streaming, and typing a better experience. You can more comfortably fit more cameras with larger sensors and lenses. Antennas and speakers can also benefit from more internal space, though not always.</p><h2 data-sanitized-id="the-struggle-to-return">The struggle to return</h2><p>Let's say you really want a compact smartphone, more than you want a large screen, improved battery life and cameras, or anything else. Your highest priority is something you can comfortably hold with one hand and won't look like a solid brick in your pocket, and you might just prefer to do most tasks on a desktop or laptop computer. That is a reasonable request, but there are a few problems with doing that in 2025.</p><p>First, smartphones are now many people's primary or <em>only</em> computing device. SimilarWeb <a href="https://www.similarweb.com/platforms/">estimates</a> that around 68% of global web traffic comes from mobile devices, with tablets around 1.6% and desktops around 30.5%. StatCounter has <a href="https://gs.statcounter.com/platform-market-share/desktop-mobile-tablet" rel="noreferrer">similar results</a>, at around 62% for mobile, 36% for desktop, and 2% for tablets. Web traffic estimates aren't a perfect statistic for measuring general device use, but similar results can be seen in other data, too. The United States Census Bureau <a href="https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024/computer-internet-use-2021.html" rel="noreferrer">said</a> smartphones were used in 90% of U.S. households in 2021, with smartphone-only households more common among low-income, Black, and Hispanic people.</p><figure data-sanitized-class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/StatCounter-comparison-ww-monthly-202401-202501.png" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?" loading="lazy" width="1280" height="720" data-sanitized-class="kg-image"><figcaption><span>Credit: </span><a href="https://gs.statcounter.com/platform-market-share/desktop-mobile-tablet" rel="noreferrer"><span>StatCounter</span></a></figcaption></figure><p>If your smartphone is your primary or only computing device, it doesn't make much sense to choose the compromised experience of a smaller device. This is especially true now that large screens are available at all price points. The Galaxy A15 5G is Samsung's cheapest phone in the United States, <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-a15-5g-128gb-unlocked-blue-black/6569030.p?skuId=6569030">available for $200 unlocked</a> and <a href="https://www.cricketwireless.com/prepaid-phones/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-a15-5g-blue-black">free with a new line at many carriers</a>, and it has a massive 6.5-inch display.</p><p>So, the potential market for a compact phone is continuing to diminish. Even if a company decides to make one anyway, there's another problem: mobile apps and websites are simply not built for small screens anymore. Mobile interface design has <a href="https://uxdesign.cc/death-by-hamburger-2d1db115352a">moved away 'hamburger' menus</a> in favor of more buttons and functions always visible on the screen, which take up more space on smaller devices. On top of that, many web and app developers simply aren't doing much testing on small displays.</p><p>I fired up my original iPhone SE with a 4-inch screen and iOS 15, and while I didn't find any apps or websites that were outright broken, most of them are not a great experience. Double navigation bars, floating buttons, and excessive padding around elements are great on large phones, but not so much on these smaller devices. Web browsing is especially rough, as the floating ads and popups that are already awful on large screens are even worse, and some websites are expecting larger screen widths for proper text wrapping. Even when everything works, which is <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhoneSE/comments/1exha2m/apps_display_not_optimized_for_any_se/">not always</a> the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhoneSE/comments/zgw0cq/app_developers_not_supporting_se_screen_size/">case</a>, you're in for a <em>lot</em> of scrolling.</p><figure data-sanitized-class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-container"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-row"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0010.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0009.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0008.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-row"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0007.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0006.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0005.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-row"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0004.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0003.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/IMG_0002.PNG" width="640" height="1136" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div></div></div></figure><p>This is a problem that can't be solved unless web and app developers do more testing on small screens, which might require completely different layouts and interaction methods in some cases. Small phones can somewhat bypass this problem by changing the display scaling, so the internal resolution becomes a bit closer to the default scale on larger phones. However, this makes text <em>even smaller</em> on the already-small screens.</p><p>You may <em>think</em> you want a compact Android phone or iPhone in 2025, but you almost certainly don't. I fully understand the appeal, as someone who chooses the smallest phone model at every opportunity, but there are just too many problems with them in 2025.</p><h2 data-sanitized-id="the-compact-future-isnt-apple-or-android">The compact future isn't Apple or Android</h2><p>I don't think small phones are a pointless product segment, or that they'll go away forever. Again, Unihertz still makes them, the iPhone SE 3 will probably get software updates for a few more years, and Eric Migicovsky's project might eventually happen. However, with the mobile app and web ecosystem moving towards large screens, a compact smartphone running iOS or Android will be a severely compromised experience.</p><p>If there is going to be a high-quality compact phone again, it will probably need to use an entirely different software platform. Apple is the only one making iOS phones, and Apple doesn't seem interested in small devices anymore, so that door is shut. Most modern Android apps are not designed properly for small screens, so as long as they are critical to using the phone, they will make it a compromised experience.</p><p>The future of compact smartphones might look more like <a href="https://www.kaiostech.com/" rel="noreferrer">KaiOS</a>, which is built primarily for phones with T9 keypads with 3-5" screens. I have a Nokia phone with KaiOS, and while some sites in the mobile browser are still rough, all the built-in and third-party apps are perfectly usable. When the software is actually built for the screen size, it's not a problem.</p><figure data-sanitized-class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-container"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-row"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/2025-03-01-22-37-28.png" width="240" height="320" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/2025-03-01-22-38-10.png" width="240" height="320" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/2025-03-01-22-38-27.png" width="240" height="320" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-row"><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/2025-03-01-22-38-47.png" width="240" height="320" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/2025-03-01-22-39-28.png" width="240" height="320" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div><div data-sanitized-class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.spacebar.news/content/images/2025/03/2025-03-01-22-46-15.png" width="240" height="320" loading="lazy" alt="Why can't we go back to small phones?"></div></div></div></figure><p>The lack of mainstream mobile apps and games might seem like a drawback, but we have seen plenty of companies spin it into a selling point. <a href="https://news.microsoft.com/2016/05/18/microsoft-selling-feature-phone-business-to-fih-mobile-ltd-and-hmd-global-oy/">HMD Global took over Nokia's feature phone business</a> in 2016, and continued releasing new models with the usual low-end hardware and T9 keypads, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/16/nokia-8110-4g-review-nostalgia-the-matrix-banana-phone">occasionally cashing in on nostalgia</a>.

In this May, 2001 presentation, LaRouche (like Gottfried Leibniz before him) identifies Russia's central role in world history as the pivot of the development of the &quot;great inner space&quot; of the Eurasian Continent. With the demise of Global Britain and its &quot;Great Game&quot; of perpetual wars and geopolitics now a very real possibility, U.S. foreign policy can now potentially be liberated for the US-UK &quot;Special Relationship&quot; and instead  ally with Russia, China and India to completely transform human civilization over the next century. This would also include the in depth development of the African continent.\n\nAt this conference in Bad Schwlabach, Germany, LaRouche is joined by reknowned Russian economists Sergey Glazyev and Stanislav Menshikov. Glazyev, whose book &quot;Genocide: Russia and the New World Order&quot; was translated and published in English in 1999 by LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review, has gone on to become an advisor to President Putin on regional economic integration from 2012 to 2019, and now the Minister in Charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union. Professor Menshikov, who was a personal friend of Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche for 15 years and participated in many EIR seminars and Schiller Institute conferences, played an important public role historically in promoting Russian-American relations throughout the Cold War and afterwards until his death in 2014. An English version of Menshikov's book &quot;The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism&quot; was also published by EIR in 2007.\n\nAny serious American policy initiative with the current Russian president and his advisors would be sorely remiss without reviewing LaRouche's dialogue with and influence on some of Russia's top thinkers and policy makers over the past decades.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/5J5rx2SGQ9s/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">La divina Liturgia ci accompagna attraverso l’anno solare come in uno specchio, nel quale vediamo compendiata e rappresentata la storia della Redenzione. Il tempo d’Avvento ci rimanda all’attesa del Messia nell’antica Legge; il tempo di Natale celebra la Sua santissima Incarnazione; la santa Quaresima e il tempo di Passione ci riportano ai tempi che precedettero il Sacrificio della Croce; il tempo di Pasqua celebra la Resurrezione e l’Ascensione al cielo del Signore; il tempo di Pentecoste ripercorre la vita terrena del Salvatore, i Suoi miracoli, i Suoi insegnamenti; e alla fine del ciclo liturgico – così come al suo principio – siamo proiettati alla fine dei tempi, al Giudizio universale, al premio o alla condanna di tutti e ciascuno. Le stesse stagioni dell’anno, in qualche modo, accompagnano</span> <span data-sanitized-class="s1">questo riepilogo sacro della storia della Salvezza, sicché nei rigori dell’inverno comprendiamo le pene del Re Bambino nato in una mangiatoia, e nel risveglio della natura in primavera possiamo vedere l’omaggio del Creato al Signore che risorge e trionfa sulla morte.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Questo Mercoledì delle Ceneri segna l’ingresso in un tempo di penitenza e purificazione per prepararci nel corpo e nello spirito a questo trionfo di Nostro Signore: un trionfo reale, storico, testimoniato dai contemporanei, celebrato dai Cristiani di ogni epoca e ogni luogo. Per accompagnarci in questa purificazione, la santa Liturgia ci mostra ciò che fecero i nostri padri nell’Antico Testamento e ci addita la necessità di essere pronti a nostra volta ad affrontare la grande persecuzione degli Ultimi Tempi. Perché non si può combattere senza esercitarsi, né affrontare una gara senza essere allenati.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Nell’Antico Testamento i sacerdoti invocano pietà per il popolo: <em>Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo!</em> Risparmia il tuo popolo, o Signore. Nel Nuovo Testamento, è Cristo stesso, elevato sul legno della Croce, che intercede per noi: <em>Perdona loro, o Padre!</em> E con Lui intercedono presso il trono della divina Maestà la Vergine Santissima, tutti i Santi e le anime del Purgatorio. Noi stessi, nella Comunione dei Santi, offriamo i nostri sacrifici per espiare i peccati nostri e dei nostri fratelli. Paghiamo un debito contratto con l’infernale Usuraio: non con la sua falsa moneta, ma con l’oro purissimo della Passione di Cristo. Quel debito di cui ciascuno di noi, in Adamo, si è caricato contro la volontà di Dio e nonostante avesse da Lui ricevuto la vera ricchezza, il più inestimabile tesoro.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Questa santa Quaresima, che iniziamo oggi cospargendoci il capo di cenere e digiunando, cade in un momento di grandi rivolgimenti sociali, politici ed ecclesiali. Ogni giorno che passa nuove verità emergono alla luce, mostrandoci una società apostata, una classe politica corrotta e pervertita, una Gerarchia venduta e traditrice. Quanti credevamo preposti al bene comune si rivelano nostri nemici e nemici di Dio. Quanti pensavamo dovessero difendere la Verità e proclamare il Vangelo di Cristo si mostrano come seguaci dell’errore e della menzogna. E l’autorità che Nostro Signore, Re e Pontefice, ha concesso ai nostri governanti – civili e religiosi – è usata per lo scopo opposto a quello che Egli ha stabilito.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Dinanzi a questa ribellione globale, e specialmente davanti al tradimento di chi è costituito in autorità, dobbiamo tornare più convintamente a vestire la nostra anima <em>in cinere et cilicio</em>, a prostrarci al cospetto del Signore e ripetere il grido dei nostri padri: <em>Flectamus iram vindicem, ploremus ante Judicem; clamemus ore supplici, dicamus omnes cernui: Parce, Domine; parce populo tuo: ne in æternum irascaris nobis.</em> Plachiamo l’ira vendicatrice, piangiamo di fronte al Giudice; chiamiamoLo con voce supplicante, prostrati diciamo tutti insieme: Perdona, Signore, perdona il Tuo popolo, e non rimanere in eterno adirato con noi.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Tuttavia, proprio per l’enormità delle nostre colpe e l’orrore delle colpe pubbliche delle Nazioni e della Gerarchia ecclesiastica, la nostra penitenza deve accompagnarsi – ed esser preceduta, direi – dalla proclamazione della verità contro la menzogna. Perché la verità è di Dio, <em>è</em> Dio; e la menzogna è marchio maledetto di Satana.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Cadano dunque i veli e gli</span> <span data-sanitized-class="s3">artifici</span> <span data-sanitized-class="s1">che cercano di dissimulare il peccato e il vizio, di negarlo, di dargli apparenza di bene e di virtù. Cadano le coltri che nascondono crimini e delitti esecrandi – contro Dio e contro i piccoli, anzitutto – in una rete di turpi complicità tra anime perdute. Cadano le finzioni di un mondo ribelle, le menzogne di un’autorità pervertita, di un sistema infernale che nega, offende e combatte Cristo e i Suoi figli. Cadano le menzogne e gli inganni di una Gerarchia e di un Papato tenuti sotto ostaggio da nemici di Cristo asserviti a Satana. Cadano gli argomenti e le scuse che troppo spesso adduciamo per giustificare la nostra pigrizia, la nostra inerzia spirituale, la nostra incapacità di schierarci e di rimanere sotto le insegne del nostro Re divino. Cadano i pretesti che sappiamo trovare per rinviare la nostra conversione e il nostro progresso nella santità.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Questa è l’ora delle tenebre, probabilmente. Ma sono tenebre destinate ad essere squarciate dalla Luce di Cristo, dinanzi alla quale tutto apparirà per come è, e non per come vorremmo che sia, non per come sarebbe più comodo per assecondare la nostra ignavia.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">E la prima verità da proclamare, da gridare dai tetti, è che noi siamo peccatori, che vi è una morte certa, un giudizio inappellabile, un inferno per punire i malvagi e un paradiso per premiare i buoni. E che questa verità ultima e indefettibile fa parte del nostro stesso essere, è inscritta nel nostro cuore come Legge di natura, è rivelata nelle Scritture e consegnata da Nostro Signore alla Sua Chiesa perché la predichi fedelmente a tutti i popoli.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Proclamiamo questa verità senza paura di essere smentiti, ricordandoci delle parole dell’Ecclesiastico: <em>Memorare novissima tua, et in æternum non peccabis</em> (Sir 7, 40), Tieni presente ciò che ti aspetta, e non peccherai mai. E così sia.</span></p>

In London on March 2, following the meeting of a U.K.-hosted “coalition of the willing” to support the destruction of the country Zelenskyy supposedly represents, he claimed that Ukraine could count on continuing U.S. support. And Zelenskyy said he’d put such “support” to good use—by prolonging the war that is absolutely devastating Ukraine. Peace with Russia is “very, very far away,” he said.\n\nTrump was furious. “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!” he thundered on March 3.\n\n“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing,” Trump continued. “Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S.—Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?”\n\nOther steps toward ending the catastrophically dangerous conflict between NATO and Russia in Ukraine:\n\nTrump advisor Mike Waltz points out the absurdity of debating the nature of security guarantees in Ukraine when there isn’t even a pathway to a peace.\n\nSecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth orders a halt to cyberattacks against Russia.\n\nBut despite the thawing relations between Russia and the United States, can those two countries on their own create a peaceful outcome?\n\n“The Kiev regime and Zelenskyy do not want peace,” assessed Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. “They want the war to continue. So in this situation, of course, only Washington’s efforts and Moscow’s readiness will obviously not be enough.”\n\nThere remains an apparent Anglo-French alliance for war against Russia, an alliance whose physical backing is far from adequate.\n\nWhat role can the world play in preventing the intention for war, expressed by the U.K., France, and the Baltics, most notably?\n\nMeanwhile, Trump’s useful instincts with respect to Ukraine clearly do not carry over to economics. He is applying and increasing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. And he plans to throw away government resources on crypto speculation, announcing a Crypto Strategic Reserve over the weekend. The announcement sent bitcoin prices up around 10%, a gain that completely evaporated by Monday evening. There were similar changes in the price people are willing to pay for other crypto “assets.”\n\nWill Trump learn a lesson from the crypto antics of Argentina’s lunatic President Javier Milei?\n\nIf you want to work on “government efficiency,” scrap this crypto nonsense and get to work with building up U.S. infrastructure and productivity! An economy that is growing, in scale and technological advancement, will provide the basis for a strong currency and a means of servicing the ballooning federal debt.\n\nFor a comprehensive view of the world that could be, watch Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s interview with Diplomacy Talk in China: available here: https://eir.news/2025/03/news/helga-zepp-larouche-speaks-with-chinese-program-diplomacy-talk/\n\nSubscribe to EIR News to stay ahead of the quickly changing world: https://eir.news/","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/Yg7FEjVJnqo/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

<p>Божественна Літургія супроводжує нас протягом сонячного року, як у дзеркалі, в якому ми бачимо підсумовану та представлену історію Відкуплення. Час Адвенту повертає нас до очікування Месії в стародавньому Законі; час Різдва святкує Його Пресвяте Втілення; Великодній піст і період Христових Страстей повертають нас до часів, що передували жертві Хреста; Пасхальний час святкує Воскресіння і Вознесіння Господнє на небо; час П’ятидесятниці відтворює земне життя Спасителя, Його чуда, Його вчення; і в кінці літургійного циклу, як і на його початку, ми готуємося до кінця часів – до Божого суду, до нагороди чи засудження<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> кожної людини. Самі пори року, певним чином, супроводжують нас у цьому священному підсумку історії спасіння, так що в суворості зими ми розуміємо страждання Царя Дитини, народженого в яслах, а потім, коли природа пробуджується навесні, ми можемо побачити шану творіння перед Господом, який воскресає і перемагає смерть.</p>
<p>Сьогодні, у Попільну середу, ми входимо в час покаяння та очищення, щоб підготуватися тілом і духом до цього тріумфу нашого Господа: справжнього, історичного тріумфу, свідками якого були Його сучасники, і який святкують християни будь-якої епохи та місця. Щоб супроводжувати нас у цьому очищенні, Свята Літургія показує нам, що робили наші батьки у Старому Завіті, і вказує нам на потребу бути готовими, у свою чергу, протистояти великим переслідуванням останніх часів. Тому що неможливо боротися без підготовки, ані протистояти в змаганні без тренування.</p>
<p>У Старому Завіті священники благають про милосердя для людей: Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo! – «Прости, Господи, прости людям Твоїм». У Новому Завіті сам Христос, піднятий на дереві Хреста, заступається за нас: Прости їм, Отче! А з Ним Пресвята Діва, всі святі і душі в Чистилищі заступаються перед престолом Божественної величі. Ми самі, у сопричасті із святими, приносимо свої жертви, щоб спокутувати гріхи наші та наших братів і сестер. Ми сплачуємо борг, укладений з пекельним лихварем: не його фальшивими грошима, а найчистішим золотом Страстей Христових. Той борг, який кожен із нас, в Адамі, взяв на себе проти волі Бога і незважаючи на те, що отримав від Нього справжнє багатство, найбільший безцінний скарб.</p>
<p>Цей Святий піст, який ми розпочинаємо сьогодні посипанням голови попелом і постом, припадає на час великих соціальних, політичних і церковних потрясінь. З кожним днем на світло випливають все нові істини: показуючи нам відступницьке суспільство, корумпований і збочений політичний клас, а також продажну і зрадливу церковну ієрархію. Ті, кого ми вважали відповідальними за спільне благо, тепер виявилися нашими ворогами і ворогами Бога. Ті, про кого ми думали, що вони мали б обороняти Правду і проголошувати Христове Євангеліє, тепер вони виявилися послідовниками помилок і обману. І влада, яку наш Господь –<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> Цар і Архиєрей, доручив нашим правителям (цивільним і релігійним), була використана для цілей, зовсім протилежних тій, для якої Він її встановив.</p>
<p>Перед обличчям цього всесвітнього повстання, а особливо перед лицем зради тих, хто має владу, ми повинні з більшим переконанням повернутися до того, щоб одягнути нашу душу в попіл і веретище, впасти перед Господом і повторити крик наших батьків: Flectamus iram vindicem, ploremus ante Judicem; clamemus ore supplici, dicamus omnes cernui: Parce, Domine; parce populo tuo: ne in æternum irascaris nobis. – «Вгамуймо гнів розплати, плачмо перед Суддею; взиваймо Його благальним голосом, поклонімося і скажемо всі разом: Прости, Господи, прости людям Твоїм, і не гнівайся на нас повік».<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Однак, саме через незліченність наших прогрішень і жах публічних гріхів народів і церковної ієрархії, наша покута повинна супроводжуватися, я б сказав, передувати їй, проголошенням Правди проти брехні. Тому що Істина є від Бога, справді, Істина є Бог; а брехня є проклятим знаком сатани.</p>
<p>Нехай зруйнуються всі завіси та хитрощі, які прагнуть приховати гріх і порок, заперечити їх, надати їм вигляду добра й чесноти. Нехай впадуть усі маски, які приховують огидні злочини та злодіяння проти Бога і передусім проти найменших, особливо, у мережі мерзенної співучасті між заблуканими душами. Нехай<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> розпадуться вигадки бунтівного світу, брехня розбещеної влади, пекельної системи, яка заперечує, ображає і бореться з Христом і Його дітьми. Нехай буде викрита брехня і обман ієрархії та Папства, які є заручниками ворогів Христа, поневолених сатаною. Нехай впадуть аргументи та виправдання, якими ми надто часто користуємося, щоб виправдати нашу лінь, нашу духовну бездіяльність, нашу нездатність прийняти чітку позицію і залишатися під прапором нашого Божественного Царя. Нехай впадуть всі причини, які ми вміємо собі знаходити, щоб відкласти наше навернення та наш поступ у святості.</p>
<p>Мабуть, це година темряви. Але ця темрява є призначена бути витісненою Світлом Христовим, перед яким все постане таким, яким воно є, і не таким, яким би ми цього хотіли; не таким, яким би було зручніше потурати нашому лінивству.</p>
<p>І перша правда, яку потрібно проголошувати, кричати з дахів, це те, що ми грішники, що існує реальна смерть, безапеляційний суд, пекло, щоб покарати злих, і небо, щоб винагородити добрих. І що ця остаточна і непорушна істина є частиною самого нашого єства, вписана в наші серця як природній закон, об’явлена в Святому Письмі та передана нашим Господом Його Церкві, щоб її можна було вірно проповідувати всім народам.</p>
<p>Ми проголошуємо цю істину, не боячись заперечень, пам’ятаючи слова Еклезіаста: Memorare novissima tua, et in æternum non peccabis (Сир. 7,36) –<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> «У всіх ділах твоїх пам’ятай про твою кончину – повіки не згрішиш». І нехай так буде.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">La divine Liturgie nous accompagne tout au long de l’année solaire comme dans un miroir, dans lequel nous voyons l’histoire de la Rédemption résumée et représentée. Le temps de l’Avent nous rappelle l’attente du Messie dans l’Ancienne Loi ; le temps de Noël célèbre Sa très sainte Incarnation ; le Saint Carême et le temps de la Passion nous ramènent aux temps qui ont précédé le Sacrifice de la Croix ; le temps de Pâques célèbre la Résurrection et l’Ascension du Seigneur au ciel ; le temps de la Pentecôte retrace la vie terrestre du Sauveur, ses miracles, ses enseignements ; et à la fin du cycle liturgique – comme à son début – nous sommes projetés à la fin des temps, au Jugement universel, à la récompense ou à la condamnation de tous et de chacun. Les mêmes saisons de l’année, d’une certaine manière, accompagnent ce résumé sacré de l’histoire du Salut, de sorte que dans les rigueurs de l’hiver nous comprenons les douleurs de l’Enfant Roi né dans une mangeoire, et dans le réveil de la nature au printemps, nous pouvons voir l’hommage de la Création au Seigneur qui se lève et triomphe de la mort.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Ce Mercredi des Cendres marque l’entrée dans un temps de pénitence et de purification pour nous préparer corps et esprit à ce triomphe de Notre-Seigneur : un triomphe réel, historique, dont ont été témoins les contemporains, célébré par les Chrétiens de tous les temps et de tous les lieux. Pour nous accompagner dans cette purification, la Sainte Liturgie nous montre ce que nos pères ont fait dans l’Ancien Testament et nous indique la nécessité d’être prêts à notre tour à affronter la grande persécution des Derniers Jours. Parce que l’on ne peut pas mener le combat sans faire d’exercice, ni affronter une course sans être entraîné.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Dans l’Ancien Testament, les prêtres invoquent la miséricorde pour le peuple : <em>Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo !</em> Épargne ton peuple, Seigneur. Dans le Nouveau Testament, c’est le Christ Lui-même, élevé sur le bois de la Croix, qui intercède pour nous : <em>Pardonnez-leur, ô Père !</em> Et avec Lui intercèdent auprès du trône de la divine Majesté la Sainte Vierge, tous les Saints et les âmes du Purgatoire. Nous-mêmes, dans la Communion des Saints, nous offrons nos sacrifices pour expier nos péchés et ceux de nos frères. Nous payons une dette contractée auprès de l’Usurier infernal : non pas avec sa fausse monnaie, mais avec l’or le plus pur de la Passion du Christ. Cette dette que chacun de nous, en Adam, a contractée contre la volonté de Dieu et bien qu’il ait reçu de Lui la vraie richesse, le trésor le plus inestimable.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Ce saint Carême, que nous commençons aujourd’hui avec l’imposition des cendres et en jeûnant, tombe à une époque de grands bouleversements sociaux, politiques et ecclésiaux. Chaque jour qui passe, de nouvelles vérités émergent à la lumière, nous montrant une société apostate, une classe politique corrompue et pervertie, une Hiérarchie ecclésiastique vendue et infidèle. Ceux qui ont la charge du bien commun se révèlent être nos ennemis et les ennemis de Dieu. Ceux devraient défendre la Vérité et annoncer l’Évangile du Christ se montrent des adeptes de l’erreur et du mensonge. Et l’autorité que Notre Seigneur, Roi et Pontife, a accordée à nos dirigeants – civils et religieux – est utilisée dans le but opposé à celui qu’Il a établi.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Face à cette rébellion universelle, et surtout face à la trahison de ceux qui détiennent l’autorité, nous devons revêtir nos âmes avec plus de conviction <em>in ciniere et cilicio</em> [de cendres et d’un cilice], nous prosterner devant le Seigneur et répéter le cri de nos pères : <em>Flectamus iram vindicem, ploremus ante Judicem ; clamemus ore supplici, dicamus omnes cernui : Parce, Domine ; parce populo tuo : ne in æternum irascaris nobis.</em> Apaisons la colère vengeresse, pleurons devant le Juge, appelons-Le d’une voix suppliante, prosternons-nous et disons-Lui tous ensemble : Pardonne, Seigneur, pardonne à Ton peuple, et ne reste pas éternellement en colère contre nous.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Cependant, précisément à cause de l’énormité de nos péchés et de l’horreur des péchés publics des Nations et de la Hiérarchie ecclésiastique, notre pénitence doit être accompagnée – et précédée, je dirais – de l’annonce de la vérité contre le mensonge. Car la vérité est de Dieu, elle <em>est</em> Dieu, et le mensonge est la marque maudite de Satan.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Que tombent les voiles et les artifices qui cherchent à cacher le péché et le vice, à le nier, à lui donner l’apparence du bien et de la vertu. Que tombent les voiles qui cachent les crimes et les délits odieux – contre Dieu et contre les petits, en premier lieu – dans un réseau de complicités immondes entre âmes perdues. Que tombent les fictions d’un monde rebelle, les mensonges d’une autorité pervertie, d’un système infernal qui nie, offense et combat le Christ et Ses enfants. Que tombent les mensonges et les tromperies d’une Hiérarchie et d’une Papauté tenues en otage par des ennemis du Christ asservis à Satan. Que tombent les arguments et les excuses que nous avançons trop souvent pour justifier notre paresse, notre inertie spirituelle, notre incapacité à prendre parti et à rester sous la bannière de notre divin Roi. Que tombent les prétextes que nous savons trouver pour retarder notre conversion et notre progression dans la sainteté.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">C’est l’heure des ténèbres, probablement. Mais ce sont des ténèbres destinées à être percées par la Lumière du Christ, devant laquelle tout apparaîtra <em>tel quel</em>, non pas tel que nous voudrions qu’il soit, non pas tel qu’il serait plus commode pour justifier notre paresse.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Et la première vérité à proclamer, à crier sur les toits, c’est que nous sommes pécheurs, qu’il y a une mort certaine, un jugement sans appel, un enfer pour punir les méchants et un paradis pour récompenser les bons ; et que cette vérité ultime et indéfectible fait partie de notre être même, qu’elle est inscrite dans nos cœurs comme Loi de la nature, qu’elle est révélée dans les Écritures et remise par Notre-Seigneur à son Église pour qu’elle la prêche fidèlement à tous les peuples.</span></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="p4"><span data-sanitized-class="s1">Annonçons cette vérité sans craindre d’être contredits, en nous souvenant des paroles de l’Ecclésiastique : <em>Memorare novissima tua, et in æternum non peccabis</em> (Si 7, 40), Garde à l’esprit ce qui t’attend, et tu ne pécheras jamais. Ainsi soit-il.</span></p>

title: Make Alberta America
author: ;Lisa P

content:
<p data-sanitized-class="">By Bruce Pardy | American Thinker</p><p data-sanitized-class="">For weeks, President Donald Trump has said that Canada should be America’s 51st state.  He has mocked Canada’s economic dependence on the United States.  He has condemned Canadian tariffs and trade restrictions.  He has scolded Canada’s free riding on American defense.  He has knocked Canada’s porous borders and drug dens.  He has accused Canada of colluding with hostile foreign powers and global institutions. He has trolled our prime minister.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">It’s delightful. Many Canadians are enjoying the show.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Up here in the cold white north, Trump has set the cat among the pigeons. Canada’s chattering classes are wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth. He has challenged their sense of entitlement. He has exposed their patriotism of convenience and knee-jerk anti-Americanism. He has exposed their haughty righteousness. He has identified rot that Canadian leaders refuse to acknowledge.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Here is some friendly advice for the president. The 51st state will not be Canada. The Canadian political establishment, largely centered in Ontario and Quebec, will fight it tooth and nail. Their vested interests depend upon the existing federal order of things. Big fish in small ponds will steadfastly refuse to abandon the pond. Canada will not join the United States as a single unit.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">But the country’s provinces are a different matter. Some parts of Canada might be persuaded, one or two at a time, to come stateside. If there is to be a 51st state from north of the border, the best bet is Alberta. Even better would be to <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/02/if_trump_wants_canada_here_s_how_he_gets_it.html#commentsSection"><span>adopt two provinces</span></a>, Alberta and Newfoundland, to start.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Canada has always been an unlikely country. It looks huge on the map, but most of its people live in a ribbon from east to west, close to the U.S. border. Canada is a layer of icing on the American cake. Trade and traffic travel primarily north-south across the border, not east-west within the country. Canada has long had tariff-like trade restrictions even between its own provinces.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">The country is a collection of regions in permanent conflict. Some have legitimate and longstanding grievances. The strongest, wealthiest, and most aggrieved of these is Alberta.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">The quest for liberty is America’s origin story. Its revolution against the British king lies deep in America’s cultural DNA. Canada does not share that foundation. In fact, the Canadian story is the mirror opposite. When the Americans rose up, the Canadians resolved to remain loyal to the king. If you like, Canada’s <em>raison d’être</em> is to oppose the American spirit. But Canada also depends on the United States for its security and fortunes. The result is a fragile national psyche. America’s best friend and ally is also its shrillest critic.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">So it is understandable why politicians in Canada — even in Alberta — have decided, at least for the time being, that their political fortunes depend upon rejecting Trump’s solicitations. Instead, they have elected to wrap themselves in the Canadian flag.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Albertans, or at least a good number of them, disagree. Some want to become an independent country. A nascent movement to leave Canada has been bubbling in Alberta for a long time. They could start from scratch to draft a constitutional order that would preserve their liberty for the foreseeable future. They could even use the American constitution (not the Canadian one) as a model on which to improve. But many of these Albertans are interested in the potential of joining the United States, too.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Two weeks ago, I published a <a href="https://www.rightsprobe.org/alberta-declaration-of-independence"><span>declaration of independence for Alberta</span></a>. There is nothing official about it. I’m not even from Alberta; I’m an Ontario boy. Who am I to draft an Alberta Declaration of Independence? The answer is, I’m Canadian, and my compromised, complacent country needs shaking up. If Alberta and other parts of this huge country resolved to separate from Canada, who could blame them? I believe that Alberta would be better off on its own, or as part of the United States.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Many Albertans appear to agree. <a href="https://x.com/PardyBruce/status/1891180065049940210"><span>On X</span></a> and on my <a href="https://brucepardy.substack.com/p/a-declaration-of-independence-for"><span>Substack</span></a>, they have written the equivalent of “I am Albertan, and I endorse this message.” Of course, that sentiment is not universal. Some strongly oppose any suggestion of leaving Canada. Still more, I would guess, are those in between — unhappy Albertans dissatisfied with the status quo but wary of launching into the great unknown.</p><p data-sanitized-class="">Trump has opened the door. He should invite Alberta in. He should make the people of Alberta an offer, even an informal one, to tell them what potentially lies before them should they support American statehood. He might start with these two promises:</p><p data-sanitized-class=""><strong>1. A State, Not a Territory</strong></p><p data-sanitized-class="">America would welcome Alberta as its 51st state, not as a territory. Trump would urge Congress to pass legislation pursuant to Article VI, Section 3 of the United States Constitution to provide for Alberta’s direct and immediate entry to the Union. It would have all the rights and status of a state of the Union, including two seats in the United States Senate and representation in the House of Representatives in proportion to its population.</p><p data-sanitized-class=""><strong>2. Dollar for dollar</strong></p><p data-sanitized-class="">Upon Alberta’s entry to the Union as a state, the federal government of the United States would recognize, transfer, and exchange Canadian dollars for American dollars on a one-to-one basis, notwithstanding the difference in the value of the currencies. All accounts, financial assets, and legal instruments in Alberta expressed in Canadian dollars would be recognized and honored as American dollars. (Some transitional plan would be necessary to avoid Canada-wide free riding on this windfall.)</p><p data-sanitized-class="">President Trump can make Alberta America — not again, but for the first time.</p><p data-sanitized-class=""><a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/03/make_alberta_america.html"><span>For the original version of this commentary, see the publisher’s website here</span></a>.</p><p data-sanitized-class=""><em>Bruce Pardy is executive director of </em><a href="https://www.rightsprobe.org/" target="_blank"><em>Rights Probe</em></a><em> and professor of law at Queen’s University.</em></p>

Highlighting the importance of long-term thinking and the creative powers of the human mind, the video challenges common reductionist approaches in science and politics. The discussion also connects these ideas to the pioneering works of historical figures like Johannes Kepler and offers insights into the necessary shift towards more advanced energy sources and innovative scientific methodologies.

Instead of relinquishing their failed policies, many European governments are doubling down on their determination to wage a forever war against Russia. The Europeans, along with Zelenskyy, are clearly coordinating attempts to sway Trump away from his determination toward peace, and to create a tripwire for igniting more conflict in Ukraine, as evidenced by a new and ridiculous “coalition of the willing.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has even called for €800 billion to “rearm Europe.” Whether any of this will actually work is still be seen.\n\nHowever, those most in panic this week are the British, who have long been leading actors in manipulating the great powers to fight each other. While Prime Minister Starmer’s schemes have so far been laughable, the British could still manage to cause significant damage—especially to a Trump administration with as many weaknesses as it has.\n\nIn fact, Trump’s largest Achilles heel may turn out to be the financial system, and in particular his eagerness to dive head-first into the madness of cryptocurrencies. While much of the situation around his announced “strategic crypto reserve” remains unclear, this will only further push the financial system and the treasury market into instability, and could easily ignite the next financial crisis.\n\nOn Tuesday, March 4, the emergency Cairo summit of the Arab nations took place, and participants endorsed Egypt’s proposal for the reconstruction of Gaza. The proposal calls for the massive rebuilding of Gaza, with a view years into the future for a growing and prosperous country—as part of a two-state solution between Palestine and Israel. While the proposal would be substantially improved with the addition of the LaRouche Oasis Plan for massive water desalination and the greening of the deserts, it is a major step in the right direction, and indicates the potential for historic changes in the region and beyond.\n\nZepp-LaRouche noted further that the post-Cold War policy of the unipolar order has completely backfired. “It was the biggest blowback in history you can imagine, where all the elements of this unipolar world—the regime-changes, color revolutions, interventionist wars, weaponization of the dollar—all of that had a gigantic blowback, bringing us to the point of World War III,” she said. The normalization of relations between the U.S. and Russia today could now mean a whole “new start” for a world that has been dominated by British geopolitics.\n\nIf the collapse of this old imperial system can open the way for a new, collaborative relationship between the U.S., Russia, and China, then this opens up the potential for changing the world as a whole. This is the key strategic question today, and represents the seed-crystal for resolving all other problems worldwide.\n\nWe invite you this Friday to the International Peace Coalition with Miguel Cabrera, retired university professor, journalist, and author, as well as other leading peace makers to be announced. Please bring your ideas, proposals and reports for this important discussion.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/0YBLl6AULnw/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

title: Ukraine "rare earths" deal: the empire's fatal mistake
author: ;Alex Krainer

hash: A���J�3i���Z�e
content:
<p><a href="https://trendcompass.substack.com/p/whats-the-deal-with-ukraines-rare?r=cpxww">I first wrote about the “rare earths” deal</a> between the US and Ukraine last week, on Tuesday, 25 February and I intended to follow up with this report in a day or two. However, the situation continued to evolve and the rabbit hole presented new discoveries. The affair appears to be a deceitful ploy contrived by the British ruling establishment to lure <strong>Donald Trump</strong> into providing security for Ukraine and ultimately to go to war against Russia. However, this could prove to be the British Empire’s fatal mistake that will probably accelerate its final collapse.</p><h2>The undead empire</h2><p>Yes, the British Empire is still a thing. It’s an undead empire of money, bankers and money laundering; it’s an empire of secret intelligence networks and covert diplomacy; of illicit influence, bribery and corruption; it’s an empire of false narratives and co-opted governments of degenerates, morons and incompetent bureaucrats. It’s a parasite that has infected humanity centuries ago and turned it into a radical perversion of itself. </p><p>It’s also a dying empire, wounded and extremely dangerous as it is prepared to set the world on fire to preserve itself. Today this empire has run up against powerful opposition, not only from Russia, China and other sovereign world powers, but now also from the new administration in the US. The unravelling could span years and will present one of the most investable geopolitical themes out there, but more about that toward the end of this report.</p><h2>The fallout at the White House</h2><p><strong>Volodymyr Zelensky</strong>’s visit to the White House on Friday, 28 February has got to be one of the most extraordinary events in modern history. Zelensky came to Washington, ostensibly to sign the “rare earth” minerals deal with the US, turning over some $500 billion in Ukraine’s resources to American interests. In exchange, Zelensky wanted a security guarantee and continued financial and military support for Ukraine from the United States.</p><p>The joint press conference that preceded the signing ceremony was attended by <strong>President Trump</strong>, Zelensky, vice President <strong>JD Vance</strong> and the Secretary of State <strong>Marco Rubio.</strong> It was the most unfriendly exchange between two heads of state in the living memory. Zelensky irritated his hosts by taking a confrontational stance, talking over them during much of the session and contradicting them in front of the reporters. Apparently, the abrasive conduct continued after the press conference, and President Trump ultimately threw Zelensky out of the White House.</p><p>Subsequently, the President published a statement about the experience on X: </p><blockquote><p>“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”</p></blockquote><h2>What’s the deal with Ukrainian rare earths?</h2><p>So, what was this all about? The saga with Ukraine's rare earth minerals has turned into a kind of bizarre kabuki theater that doesn’t seem to make any rational sense. The whole diplomatic row escalated over the Trump administration's demand that Ukraine turn over those resources to the US in compensation for the military and financial aid the US had already provided to Ukraine. The figure in question, according to Trump, could be $350 billion. In last week's <a href="https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/1892766345760014657">interview with</a> <strong><a href="https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/1892766345760014657">Catherine Herridge</a></strong>, Secretary <strong><a href="https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1892806427808522684">Marco Rubio explained</a></strong> that Zelensky agreed to this request, only to publicly reject it later:</p><blockquote><p>"We discussed mineral rights with Zelenskyy and said we want to be in a joint venture with you.... We need to be paid back some of the $200 billion in taxpayer money we've given you. He said 'Sure, I need to run it through my legislative process.' I read two days later he's saying he rejected the deal. That's not what happened in that meeting. We're trying to help these guys. Ukraine doesn't directly impact the daily lives of Americans, there should be some gratitude here. When you see him accusing the President of disinformation, that's highly counterproductive. President Trump isn't going to take that. He's not going to get gamed. He hopes Zelensky isn't trying to hustle the United States, that's not going to be productive here."</p></blockquote><p>It seems extraordinary that Zelensky, who is desperate for continued US financial and military support would antagonize President Trump in such a brazen manner, which included insulting him and embarrassing his Secretary of State. The explanation may have emerged from a Czech publication AENews, citing leaks from Ukraine's intelligence. <a href="https://aeronet.news/zelensky-ma-obrovsky-pruser-podle-uniklych-informaci-v-pulce-ledna-prevedl-velkou-cast-nerostneho-bohatstvi-ukrajiny-londynu-v-tajnem-dodatku-100-lete-bezpecnostni-smlouvy-s-velkou-britanii/">AENews reported</a> that Zelensky is unable to cut the deal with the U.S. because he already signed over Ukraine's resource wealth to Britain.</p><h2>The “deal” precedes Trump’s presidency</h2><p>There’s further relevant background to this saga. Some commentators in the West are trying to insinuate that Trump - because he could - decided to take advantage of Ukraine’s misfortune and simply appropriate $500 billion of its resource wealth. That’s not the story, however. Back in late September 2024, two months before the US elections, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/27/us-news/trump-makes-nice-with-zelensky-in-trump-tower-after-accusing-him-of-nasty-little-aspersions-very-good-relationship/">Zelensky paid a visit to Trump in New York and proposed</a> the minerals deal. Perhaps he wanted to win Trump over to Ukraine’s cause just in case he won the elections and became the new president. The $500 billion figure came from Zelensky, not from Trump, and I very much doubt that Zelensky came up with the idea himself.</p><h2>Starmer’s stealth act of piracy</h2><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3c22f17f-4dd3-47ed-a187-02a62ec1a6da_538x304.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3c22f17f-4dd3-47ed-a187-02a62ec1a6da_538x304.png" width="538" height="304" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3c22f17f-4dd3-47ed-a187-02a62ec1a6da_538x304.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":304,"width":538,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":82208,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/158640042?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3c22f17f-4dd3-47ed-a187-02a62ec1a6da_538x304.png","isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>To preempt Trump and secure Ukraine’s resources for Britain, <strong>Sir Keir Starmer</strong> rushed to make the deal with Zelensky under the framework of the "<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/one-hundred-year-partnership-agreement-between-the-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-northern-ireland-and-ukraine">One Hundred Year Partnership...</a>" The new partnership was signed on 16 January of this year, only four days before Donald Trump's inauguration. In Article 4, the agreement sets out its purpose: to “strengthen conditions for investment and trade … and cooperate across a range of sectors, including but not limited to transport, infrastructure, and energy to make both their economies more modern, resilient and prosperous.”</p><p>According to the intelligence leaks from Ukraine, the agreement includes a secret Appendix, which provides that after the end of hostilities, the UK would gain control of all of Ukraine's ports, power plants, natural gas deposits, storage facilities and pipelines, titanium deposits and more.</p><p>Apparently, Zelensky signed over these resources in exchange for the UK's commitment to Ukraine's security, support for her NATO membership and "<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/678a3a54d0561c11b91d0576/UK-UKRAINE_100_YEAR_PARTNERSHIP_DECLARATION.pdf">no less than £3 billion a year</a>," for "as long as needed to support Ukraine." Reading through the "One Hundred Year Partnership" agreement makes the allegations made by AENews seem plausible.</p><h2>Britain’s support isn’t likely charity</h2><p>To begin with, it is unlikely that the UK has committed to providing such generous support to Ukraine out of pure charity. AENews dismisses this idea, citing Czechoslovakia’s historical experience with the British government. The Czechs fought for Great Britain in World War I. </p><p>After the war, however, London charged the <strong>Edward Benesh</strong> government [1935-1939] for repayment of all the costs of clothing, gear, food, accommodation, and training of Czechoslovak soldiers. They charged them even for the medical bills of wounded soldiers and for the funerals of fallen ones. There’s no reason to believe that the current British government will prove any more charitable with the future governments of Ukraine.</p><p>Furthermore, the 100-year partnership agreement is not an "entire agreement." Customarily, agreements include the "entire agreement" clause which stipulates that contracting parties' commitments are limited to that which is explicitly spelled out in the signed agreement or specifically listed schedules or addendums. Instead, Article 11 refers to unspecified "further agreements or arrangements as necessary and appropriate to implement this agreement." That implies that there might exist a secret appendix granting the rights to Ukraine’s resources to British interests.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe80e0640-93aa-4c2e-87e7-c015dc6851e8_538x304.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe80e0640-93aa-4c2e-87e7-c015dc6851e8_538x304.png" width="538" height="304" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e80e0640-93aa-4c2e-87e7-c015dc6851e8_538x304.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":304,"width":538,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":58702,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/158640042?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe80e0640-93aa-4c2e-87e7-c015dc6851e8_538x304.png","isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><a href="https://uk.news-pravda.com/uk/2025/01/17/15369.html">According to Pravda News</a> report on 17 January, Zelensky corroborated as much himself: in a video message on Telegram, Zelensky referred to the 100-year partnership stating that, “There is also a closed, secret part of this agreement,” which would add to Ukraine’s “resilience and the opportunity to develop.” Another corroboration came from the British government itself, in their <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-ukraine-sign-landmark-100-year-partnership-to-deepen-security-ties-and-strengthen-partnership-for-future-generations">16 January press release about the 100-year partnership</a>.

Keir Starmer stated that “Zelensky is not a dictator,” and that it was “perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during wartime, as the UK did during World War II.” To boot, Starmer equated Zelensky with <strong>Winston Churchill</strong>. Even the opposition leader <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeEY808lxJw">Nigel Farage joined the chorus</a></strong> in defence of Zelensky.</p><h2>Dispatching Boris Johnson - again</h2><p>But by this time the situation got a bit out of control; Zelensky had brazenly rejected the agreement proposed by the U.S., embarrassed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and insulted President Trump. In turn, Trump’s public attack at Zelensky brought the question of his legitimacy to the fore. It was time for damage control and once more London dispatched <strong>Boris Johnson</strong> to Kiev to fix things… He arrived in Keiv for the occasion of the third anniversary of Russia’s Special Military Operation, the 24<sup>th</sup> of February 2025.</p><p>Two things happened almost immediately upon Johnson’s visit: first, Zelensky reversed his prior rejection of the US "rare earths" deal. Second, Ukraine's parliament passed the resolution extending Mr. Zelensky's presidential mandate. That was the lawmakers' second vote on the same resolution: the first time they voted wrong and failed to grant Zelensky legitimacy as Ukraine’s president. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71f6e933-4559-4b09-b0cb-db712976dcc2_921x520.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71f6e933-4559-4b09-b0cb-db712976dcc2_921x520.png" width="921" height="520" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/71f6e933-4559-4b09-b0cb-db712976dcc2_921x520.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":520,"width":921,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":431216,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/158640042?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71f6e933-4559-4b09-b0cb-db712976dcc2_921x520.png","isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Johnson aroused suspicion about his actions in several interviews he gave from Kiev and also from his statements at the <a href="https://x.com/yes_ukraine">Yalta European Strategy forum</a>'s "special gathering," held on 24 February under the slogan, "Three Years - Time to Win." In all these appearances, Johnson delivered pretty much the same talking points. In the process however, he also ran his mouth a bit and revealed much about the British role.</p><p>Now, if we regard Johnson as a bona fide public official, at the very least he might come across as unconvincing. But if you put your street hustler hat on, things seem almost obvious: if anyone tried to hustle you in this way, you'd likely see it coming from miles away. In an early morning <a href="https://x.com/GMB/status/1893931180103205144">interview from Kiev with "Good Morning Britain</a>," Johnson refers to the "rare earth minerals deal," and says what it's for: "…that commits the US not only to future financing of Ukraine but also to a free, sovereign, and secure Ukraine under Donald Trump and that is not to be sneezed at. That's a very, very important commitment and also, as it happens, it spells out in the agreement that Russia is the aggressor in this war."</p><p>Notice, Johnson appears to know quite a bit about the agreement's provisions. He then pretends that this is some really tough deal that confers great benefits to the greedy Americans: "Now, people will say, oh, this deal is extortionate for Ukraine and America is being too rapacious - but not a penny can flow from this investment fund that is going to be set up unless you have a free, sovereign and secure Ukraine." This last statement also makes it obvious why the America’s security guarantee is so important: without it, not a penny can flow westward from Ukraine. As Keir Starmer had conceded, “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/17/starmer-urges-trump-to-provide-backstop-to-european-peacekeeping-force-in-ukraine">US backstop is vital</a>.”</p><h2>The Americans are so very greedy</h2><p>Asked about whether Zelensky would now reverse his rejection of the draft agreement, Johnson plays dumb: </p><blockquote><p>"It's my hope that they will, I can't be absolutely sure that that is going to happen - various drafts have been floating around over the last few days. The only point that I'm trying to make is that when you look at this deal, when you look at what it says in black and white about the American commitment to Ukraine, to the freedom, sovereignty, and security of Ukraine, when you look at what it envisages for the long term for Ukraine, that's ... economic integration with the West, a big partnership with the most powerful economy in the world, that's positive for a country..."</p></blockquote><p>Notice, Johnson <em>hopes</em>, he doesn't really know, "various drafts have been floating around, " and so on. But then in the very same sentence he displays keen knowledge of specific provisions of the deal that's supposed to be signed between Ukraine and the US. Finally, Johnson takes a contemptuous jab at the designated dupe of the whole hustle, the United States:</p><blockquote><p>"... it is a good deal for the United States as well, but then don't forget what we had to face in 1940-41 with the lend-lease deal - we had to give up a huge amount - bases in the Caribbean, in Newfoundland, Bermuda and so on, we got a lot of rust bucket destroyers in exchange and ... the UK taxpayer stopped paying back the United States for lend-lease in 2006... So, you know, America has a history of demanding a price for its support."</p></blockquote><p>It's all very unfortunate, you see, because the Americans are so unscrupulous and greedy. Poor Ukrainians should just accept that the Americans will shear them good and proper but hey, always look on the bright side of life, says BoJo: "from where I sit today, I think that the price for Ukraine is reasonable."</p><p>And there you have it. It would appear that the British have already secured the lion’s share of Ukraine’s wealth, but it can’t protect it without the Americans doing the dirty work and all the heavy lifting. To get the Americans into the game, the British presented bait in the shape of the "rare earth minerals" deal to be implemented through some future fund from which the US will receive a portion of the proceeds. It is likely that this bait was contrived already in September of last year, when Zelensky first offered the deal to Trump.</p><p>Obviously, the arrangement has a massive downside for the United States: in addition to the cost in blood and treasure of providing security, there would also be the likelihood of a nuclear war with Russia. But the very existence of those rare earths in Ukraine is in doubt. Meanwhile, British interests would snatch most of the loot. Per trade practices that the British have perfected over the centuries, this act of piracy would be so well disguised through secret agreements with designated Ukrainian trustees, corrupt government officials, endless strings of offshore shell companies and the money laundering services from British and European banks, that few would even suspect that British interests were involved at all.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd774c19-f4f9-45ea-a530-2f25ba0b9e01_684x515.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd774c19-f4f9-45ea-a530-2f25ba0b9e01_684x515.png" width="684" height="515" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fd774c19-f4f9-45ea-a530-2f25ba0b9e01_684x515.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":515,"width":684,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":331404,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/158640042?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd774c19-f4f9-45ea-a530-2f25ba0b9e01_684x515.png","isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">As Winston Churchill put it: American brawn for British brains.</figcaption></figure></div><p>I believe that the whole episode reveals the contemptuous attitude towards the United States among the British ruling circles.

But that's a gross distortion of what really happened. As the British historian <strong><a href="https://x.com/irving_books/status/1896661680677064801">David Irving explained in one of his lectures on World War II</a></strong>, it was the British, in fact, who offered chunks of their territories to <em>nudge</em> the US into joining World War II on Britain’s side:</p><blockquote><p>"<strong>Churchill </strong>finally hit on the idea in the middle of 1940, of buying from the United States 50 World War I destroyers which were completely useless, and exchanging them, in fact for valuable pieces of British Empire real estate. He gave to the United States bits of the Caribbean islands that were our colonies, he gave bits of Newfoundland and bits of British Guiana in return for 50 destroyers that were so useless, in fact, that not one saw action in World War II ... This was one of the methods that Churchill was using in an attempt to drag the United States closer and closer to the brink of war. Another method that he used was far more cynical. As he said to Ambassador <strong>Kennedy </strong>…, 'You watch: when<strong> Adolf Hitler</strong> begins bombing London and bombing towns in Britain like Boston and Lincoln, towns with their counterparts in the United States, you Americans will have to come in, won't you? You can't just stand aside and watch us suffering. But he knew ... that Hitler had given orders that no British town was to be bombed. London was completely embargoed. The German Air Force was allowed to bomb ports and harbors and dockyards, but not towns as such. And … on August the 25th, 1940, Churchill gave the order to the British Air Force to go and bomb Berlin. Although the Chief of the Bomber Command and the Chief of Staff of the British Air Force warned him that if we bomb Berlin, Hitler may very well lift the embargo on bombing British towns. And Churchill just twinkled, because it was what he wanted, of course. At 9:15 that morning, he telephoned, personally, the Bomber Command himself, to order the bombing of Berlin - 100 bombers to go and bomb Berlin. And they went out and bombed Berlin that night, and Hitler still didn't move. [Churchill] ordered another raid on Berlin and so it went on for the next seven or ten days until finally on September the 4th Hitler lost his patience and made that famous speech in the Sports Palace in Berlin which he said, ‘this madman has bombed Berlin now seven times. If he bombs Berlin once more, then I shall not only just attack their towns, I shall wipe them out.’ ... A very famous speech. Of course, German schoolchildren are now told about the Hitler speech, they're not told what went first. They're not told how it came about. Churchill sent out deliberately to provoke the bombing of his own capital. And on the following day, Churchill ordered Berlin bombed again."</p></blockquote><h2>The same playbook?</h2><p>What Irving described was the scheming of the British government to draw the United States into war on its side. <strong>Keir Starmer</strong> appears to be following the same playbook: the minerals deal is the hook - the bribe to open the Americans to the possibility of committing to the British agenda. His recent statements corroborate this further: his government is doubling down on support for Ukraine. </p><p>Even though the British military is no match for the Russians, the idea, as Starmer explained, is to show the Americans that Britain is serious. Those troops will be deliberately put in harm’s way as a tripwire to trigger further escalation as their government works to cobble up a "coalition of the willing" to pile in. In addition, they're redoubling public relations efforts to portray Zelensky as a heroic freedom fighter. With all these elements in place, it is not difficult to imagine scenarios that could lead to a serious escalation and set the United States on an irreversible collision course against Russia.</p><h2>What’s the reason for Britain’s deranged Russophobia</h2><p>What could be the reason behind the British establishment’s deranged obsession with vanquishing and dismembering Russia and why do they seem perfectly willing to set the world on fire to achieve that goal? I believe that the answer lies in her natural resources wealth, which dwarfs that of Ukraine. Britain, whose finances are in a catastrophic state, is desperate for fresh collateral to fuel a major new credit cycle needed to refloat its financial system. </p><p>Without Ukraine’s and Russia’s resources, all they have are the printing presses which will turn Britain's stagflation into a hyperinflation and the final collapse of their empire. In fact, that’s almost certainly the most likely outcome of current events. The world has changed since Churchill contrived his own cunning plan. Starmer’s and Johnson’s hustle is almost transparent. Trying it on Donald Trump could turn out to be the undead British Empire’s fatal mistake.</p><h2>A very investable theme</h2><p>Finally, another aspect of this episode that’s worth mentioning is that it could well prove to be one of the most investable themes out there. The fallout from Britain’s conflict with Russia and the United States will likely lead to very substantial market dislocations, including the decline of the British pound and the price of hear sovereign debt. The same almost certainly applies also to European securities and the euro. It would be impossible to predict the timing and magnitude of these events, but the one thing we can be almost certain about is that they’ll unfold over time as trends. </p><p>The most reliable way to navigate such trends is with the aid of well formulated systematic trend following strategies.

Why would a Presbyterian be advocating for an Israeli land grab, and why did another New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (Roman Catholic) say that God wants the Palestinian territory known as the West Bank to be violently and murderously seized by Israel?  Isn't it of interest that Tenney's caucus has no Jewish members? \n\nIt appears that the Christian Zionists are at least as fanatical as the Israeli ones, and this has NOTHING to do with the relationship between mankind and our Creator, nothing to do with Judaism or Christianity, but is a British-created cult ideology.\n\nThis week, Diane will be joined by Clifford Kiracofe, former Senior Staff Member, U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and President, Washington Institute for Peace and Development to discuss this peculiar religion to discuss the origin of this ideology and the dangerous impact it has in American politics.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/KjwJfVdQGPU/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

<p>Recently, CGTN launched a campaign called “Ask China” and gathered over 90,000 questions about China from other countries, including aspects about livelihood, technology, culture and so on. In this program, the G1 humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics, based in Hangzhou, east China comes to CGTN’s studio to share their story. You might recognize another model from the company, which wowed audiences with a stunning performance at this year's CMG Spring Festival Gala. What surprises do they bring? Let's take a look!</p>

It embodies our precise idea of the nature of man as in the living image of God.\n\nConcluding a vivid one-hour demonstration, LaRouche asked:\n\nAnd this brings us back to the question of Manifest Destiny.

Yes, it could be done….\n\nThat is, to spark what's inside us, and must radiate from us, so that we become a true Beacon of Hope and Temple of Liberty for all mankind. . .\n\nThat's what Roosevelt, in his own imperfect way, tried to represent.

<p>International Peace Coalition Meeting #92</p>



<p>March 7, 2025 (EIRNS)—The 92nd consecutive online meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) took place on Friday, March 7. Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, opened the proceedings with a focus on Europe and Ukraine, where “things are going completely haywire.” President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has announced a “Re-Arm Europe Plan” which will cost €800 billion.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Friedrich Merz, projected to be the next Chancellor of Germany, announced the end of the federal budget-limiting “debt brake” in order to have a military budget of €400 billion. (On Feb. 23, Merz’s party, the Christian Democratic Union, won the German federal election with a promise not to undo the debt brake.) The historical precedent for such an action is Nazi Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht’s “Mefo bills,” which were set up in 1933 to finance purchases from armament manufacturers without leaving a paper trail. It is estimated that it would take up to 100 years for Germany to reach levels of armaments, military production, and troops equivalent to what they possessed in 2004.</p>



<p>There are many implications of United States President Donald Trump’s recent pronouncements, including a possible end to intelligence sharing by the U.S. with the British-dominated Five Eyes intelligence cartel. Although France has its own independent nuclear force, the U.K. is dependent upon U.S. technical support for use of its nuclear weapons.</p>



<p>European leaders, habituated to a litany of “let’s ruin Russia,” cannot adjust to Trump’s nascent peace initiative. If they were smart, they would reflect on how Trump’s election expresses public opposition to the last 35 years of failed neocon “unipolar world” policies.</p>



<p>In Southwest Asia, Egypt’s plan for Gaza reconstruction is “a baby step in the right direction” of the <a href="https://laroucheorganization.com/larouche-plan-southwest-asia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oasis Plan</a>. “You don’t get a two-state solution if you don’t change the entire dynamic of the region,” emphasized Zepp-LaRouche.</p>



<p>The next speaker was Dr. Mohammed S. Dajani Daoudi, founder of the Wasatia Movement in Palestine, and director of the Wasatia Graduate Academic Institute. He grew up as a Palestinian in Jerusalem and described how, over time, he switched his attitude from “us or them,” because he “started to see the human side of my enemy” after witnessing Israeli doctors treating Palestinian patients. He said the current problem is that both sides of the conflict want their own state “from the river to the sea,” which is a fantasy. We need a coalition of Israelis and Palestinians for peace. His goal is to create a culture of moderation, which is the meaning of “Wasatia.”</p>



<p><strong>Zelenskyy Goes to London</strong></p>



<p>Garland Nixon, veteran progressive radio and television talk show host, began by saying, “NATO is, shall we say, an imperial project.” He shared some things that are currently being discussed in Europe. For example, MI6 is good at playing divide and rule and setting up puppet governments, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an MI6 project; “When he got punched around a little by Trump, he goes right to London, and they hug him.”</p>



<p>Nixon listed some developments which can work to the advantage of peace activists. Elon Musk is beginning to release videos of brutal conscription practices in Ukraine. Musk has also promoted a video of U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) boasting that the U.S. was behind the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine. He noted that Trump has admitted complicity, in that he provided Javelin missiles to Ukraine, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio admits it is a proxy war. It must be recognized that the reality of the Ukraine war is complex, not a simple “good guys vs. bad guys” narrative in which former President Joe Biden created the problem and Trump will fix it.</p>



<p>Miguel Cabrera of the Dominican Republic, a journalist, author, former university professor and current host of the weekly TV program “Science, Technology, and Society,” praised Trump’s initiative for peace in Ukraine. He characterized the Trump Presidency as a “light at the end of the tunnel” because he is willing to talk to Russia. He stressed that the Ukraine war is not Russia vs. Ukraine, it is Russia vs. NATO. He also emphasized that Israel has carried out a massacre against Palestinian people. A long-time supporter of the Schiller Institute, he pointed to Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan as a solution to the Middle East crisis.</p>



<p>Excerpts were aired of an interview conducted by <em>EIR</em>’s Mike Billington with Dr. M.K. Bhadrakumar, a retired career diplomat with India’s Ministry of External Affairs, who held diplomatic positions in the Soviet Union, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and Türkiye, where he served as India’s Ambassador. Dr. Bhadrakumar decried the West’s “wanton acts of motiveless malignity and hubris.” In regard to the U.K., he described how British intelligence is able to persuade American officials to believe that British policies are actually their own. Ukrainian attacks on Russian targets are actually planned by British intelligence. Ukrainian leaders who now speak of assassinating Trump were trained by MI6. He presented an unusual perspective that Iran is America’s natural ally in the region; the Iranian elite are pro-Western. The U.S. working with Iran could be as significant as normalization of U.S.-Russian relations.</p>



<p>An unannounced guest was Kirk Wiebe, a former senior intelligence official and whistleblower with the United States National Security Agency. He said that recent events have “set the stage” for the realization of Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s <a href="https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2022/11/30/ten-principles-of-a-new-international-security-and-development-architecture/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New International Security and Development Architecture</a>. No country today is prepared to go to war; all of our assets are stretched thin. The U.S. has $36 trillion in debt. He sees the possibility of negotiated peace.</p>



<p>In response, Zepp-LaRouche said that it will not be weeks and months, but rather years before Europe will be ready for war. But, contrary to neocon propaganda, there is no proof of any inclination on Russia’s part for a European war.</p>



<p>A participant asked Dr. Dajani how his plea for cooperation can work when the Israelis do not operate in good faith and they have made no concessions. He insisted that there are moderates and extremists on both sides, and we must teach our children to have “a heart of flesh, not a heart of stone.”</p>



<p><strong>Discussion Period: The Continuing Problem of Colonialism</strong></p>



<p>Zepp-LaRouche said that we need to examine the extent to which Western outlook is still colonial. The role of the British is starting to receive scrutiny in this regard, and the powers which instigated the Sykes-Picot Treaty are the ones behind the Ukraine war.</p>



<p>Garland Nixon said that the geopolitical fixation on Russia stems from colonialism: If you’re a colonial power, and you have a parasitic orientation, you are losing your hosts around the world, and Russia is the prize because of its vast resources.</p>



<p>A participant asked whether there are situations where the campaign for peace may come into conflict with the aspirations of colonized peoples, citing as examples Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nixon said he didn’t believe such a conflict were necessary, and that we must look at outside powers involved, keeping in mind the history of colonialism.</p>



<p>Veterans for Peace leader Jack Gilroy praised the Oasis Plan as a template for similar solutions around the world, to which Zepp-LaRouche reminded that in 2014, the Schiller Institute published <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Silk-Road-Becomes-World-Land-Bridge/dp/0943235243" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge”</a> as a blueprint for rebuilding the world.

Instead of Rearming for the Great War, We Need to Create a Global Security Architecture! – by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

content:
<p><em>The following statement was issued March 8 by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, for immediate and widespread international circulation and endorsement. It is being issued at a time when Europe is at an historic crossroads, where a different alternative must be urgently put on the table if a catastrophe is to be avoided. We encourage signatures of endorsement from all walks of life to force this issue out into the public debate as quickly as possible.</em></p>

<p>The European Union (EU) and most European governments are in the grips of a war hysteria that can only be compared to the warmongering madness that broke out before World War One. Astronomical sums are slated to be spent on rearmament: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wants to invest €800 billion(!) in the “Rearm Europe” plan, but by invoking Article 122 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty to bypass the European Parliament. The likely next German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had promised before the [Feb. 23] election that the CDU would not touch the debt brake, now says the exact opposite after the election: he proposes, to begin with, €400 billion(!) for arms buildup, and €500 billion for “infrastructure,” which will largely serve military purposes, but without setting an upper limit (!) for military spending—“Whatever it takes!” as Merz put it. Those are the infamous words Mario Draghi used during the euro crisis to signify that all the money floodgates should be opened. And this at a time when the German physical economy is in free fall, when some European countries are being crushed by gigantic mountains of debt and Europe has already been largely left behind economically.</p>



<p>And why such a sudden fantastic increase in money, as if there were no tomorrow? U.S. President Donald Trump is talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin and wants to bring the Ukraine war, which has long been lost militarily, to an end through negotiation, and thus end the horrific dying of Ukrainians and Russians. At the same time, Trump is pulling the world back from the brink of a thermonuclear world war, from which we were only a hair’s breadth away due to the escalation of the previous U.S. administration.</p>



<p>But rather than congratulating Trump and supporting him, the European Union—which was, after all, the winner of the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize—as well as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Merz are attempting to continue the war in Ukraine “to the last Ukrainian,” even though experts estimate that it has already taken the lives of over one million Ukrainians and around 300,000 Russians.</p>



<p>The Europeans are thus attempting a repeat of the sabotage with which UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson torpedoed the Istanbul agreement between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in March 2022, which could have ended the war after a few weeks, and so is responsible for all the deaths since then.</p>



<p>At the same time, different secret services in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, etc. are producing forecasts that say Russia will allegedly have built up its military capabilities to such a point by 2029-30 that it will then be able to attack one or more other EU states. This is a purely geopolitically motivated assertion for which there is no evidence whatsoever, but which could turn out to happen if Europe continues to focus on confrontation, on the motto: “What I shout into the forest, will come back as an echo.”</p>



<p>Various institutes, such as the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, point out that neither the German Bundeswehr, nor the British or French armed forces are even remotely capable of engaging in a direct confrontation with the world’s strongest nuclear power—Russia. The Kiel Institute warned, for example, that at current procurement rates, it would take the Bundeswehr up to 100 years to reach the level of its 2004 stocks. The British Army has just 219 tanks, while Russia produces over 1000 per year. The British Royal Air Force has just 173 combat aircraft! Italy has an impressive 150 main battle tanks! Macron’s offer to use French nuclear weapons as a nuclear umbrella for the whole of Europe should be seen as a provocation of Russia more than as actual protection.</p>



<p>Tom Harrington, Professor Emeritus at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, aptly summed up the reaction of Europeans: “If you are a chihuahua and you play a Doberman for many years on TV, you can forget that you’re actually a chihuahua. That can lead to much delusion when the director calls off the production.”</p>



<p>If the EU and the individual European member states now sabotage Trump’s intention to end, together with Russia, the Ukraine war which was a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia from the beginning, then they are making a catastrophic historical mistake. If they then also attempt to finance the enormous lack of military capabilities by creating money outside the regular budgets, they are repeating German Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht’s policy of <em>Mefo</em> bills from the 1930s. At that point, the great war with Russia and with all the countries with which Russia is in a strategic partnership would become a self-fulfilling prophecy!</p>



<p>The European establishments have so far failed to reflect on their own strategic mistakes of recent decades, which have led to the current situation so unpleasant for them. Instead of seizing the great historic opportunity presented by the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification to establish a peace order that was absolutely possible at the time, all of Europe ended up following the policies of the Anglo-American neocons. Instead of dissolving NATO together with the Warsaw Pact in 1991, the West broke all the promises it had made to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and expanded NATO no less than six times—by a total of 1000 kilometers—up to the borders of Russia, thus creating the conditions for a reverse Cuban missile crisis. In addition, the policy of sanctions, regime change and interventionist wars, especially in Southwest Asia, created an enormous backlash throughout the Global South.</p>



<p>But the European establishments have so far been incapable of reflecting on their mistakes out of the obvious fear that it will profit their critics. Faced with the choice of joining Trump’s new U.S. peace policy, they are aligning behind the British policy—and thus the country leading the war policy!</p>



<p>Clearly, the European pro-Atlantic establishments have still not realized that the historical momentum has already shifted massively to Asia. Several nations there have growth rates that the European economy can only dream of. The economic success of China is due to its economic policy, which gives the priority to investment in infrastructure, the real economy, innovation, excellence in education and increased productivity through investment in cutting-edge technologies.</p>



<p>China’s trading partners benefit from this policy, which is based on win-win cooperation, as it is also economically beneficial for China. Organizations such as the BRICS, which now has 19 members and partners and many more hoping to join, as well as ASEAN, SCO, EAEU and others, now represent an attractive alternative to the unipolar “rules-based” order based purely on military alliances and geopolitical interests. Above all, it is by now well known that the application of these “rules” is a highly arbitrary matter.</p>



<p>Europe has reacted to Trump’s sudden signals for an end to the Ukraine war and a resumption of diplomacy with Russia with great panic—and cries for war. But there is still time to correct this potentially fatal course. If Europe wants to overcome its current economic misery, the way out lies in cooperation with the nations of the Global South, which has long since become the Global Majority.</p>



<p>Humanity has reached the point where it must overcome the old patterns of thought steeped in geopolitics and the Cold War and replace them with a new global security and development architecture that takes into account the interests of all nations on this planet. A positive example for this is provided by the Peace of Westphalia, which came about because the warring parties came to the conclusion that if the war continued, no one would be able to enjoy victory, since there would be no survivors. How much more convincing this argument is in times of thermonuclear weapons which, if used, would lead to the extinction of all mankind!</p>

<div><img src="https://brixsweden.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tariffs_US_China-2.jpg" data-sanitized-class="ff-og-image-inserted"></div><p>Hussein Askary (Vice-Chairman of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden)</p>
<p><strong>After his election victory in November, President Donald Trump promised to address what he viewed as an ailing U.S. economy as the primary goal of his administration. He also promised in his State of the Union Speech on March 4th to create an economic “golden age” that America has never seen before. However, the U.S. stock market, which he himself has considered as the benchmark for his success, dropped sharply on that day and the following days by more than 10% from its December all-time high. Fears of inflation figures coming out this week could make the bad situation even worse. On Wednesday, March 12, the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report will be released. The CPI report, which is published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a key measure of inflation that tracks the average change over time in prices paid by consumers for a market basket of goods and services.</strong></p>
<p>Just less than two months after his inauguration, Trump’s policies have sparked global trade tensions and a stock-market downturn. Despite promising a golden age, Trump acknowledges potential short-term disruptions and “some pain” due to increased tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent supports this approach of “no pain, no gain”, suggesting the economy needs a “detox” from public spending. Inflation and economic slowdown are looming, adding to consumer and investor anxiety. Trump’s trade wars have particularly targeted Canada, Mexico (with tariffs up to 25%), and China (20% tariff across the board), causing significant market declines. Despite this, Trump remains hoping for long-term manufacturing growth and dismisses market concerns. But that is still in the realm of wishful thinking rather than objective reality. Last week’s economic data showed modest job growth and a slight rise in unemployment.</p>
<p>American citizens are expressing concern about the impact of the Trump tariffs on consumer prices and. According to a March 8 <span>article</span> in the Washington Post “more than 9 in 10 Americans say they have negative views about food prices, while more than 7 in 10 feel dissatisfied with the incomes of average Americans, according to the Post-Ipsos poll.”</p>
<h6>Why don’t tariffs work anymore?</h6>
<p>“Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump’s last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these new tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense,” said Robert Reich, Professor at UC Berkeley and former Secretary of Labor of the United States under President Bill Clinton, in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RBReich/posts/pfbid0gbtMY1QcUKWs2ZwUgU1oZ2uUbTXwkZFyN7GmNU2DiqVawWYPoycz6mq5Zts5VpX1l"><span>meme</span></a> on social media on March 4, 2025. This point was illustrated by Professor Yan Liang, a Peter C. and Bonnie S. Kremer Chair of Economics at Willamette University, Oregon, in a recent <a href="https://news.willamette.edu/library/2025/02/wu-pov-tariffs.html"><span>interview</span></a>.<br>“Tariffs are mostly paid by importers who, in turn, pass along the higher import costs to consumers”, she said, adding that “with consumer goods now subject to these new tariffs, American consumers can expect to see price increases on a range of products, including consumer electronics like iPhones and computer equipment”. As is well known, many of the top consumer goods are imported from China. In addition, she emphasized that lower-income families would be hit hardest by the rise of inflation which is generated by these tariffs because spending on consumption of imports which are more affordable constitutes a larger share of their income, and they will be more affected by the tariffs than higher-income families. “Additionally, as about 1/5 of Chinese imports are intermediate goods used in U.S. industrial production, the higher costs of these inputs could increase production costs, which could get passed on to consumers, she concluded.</p>
<p>What will make things even worse is the fact that China, as its economy has gained enormous potency, is now capable of retaliation in kind. On March 3rd, the Chinese Commerce Ministry announced that China will slap new tariffs of up to 15% on top U.S. farm products such as soybeans, chicken, and beef. Farmers are a sensitive political base in the U.S., and the rural areas played an important role in Trump’s election victory. However, there are mixed feelings about Trump’s policies in these areas according to American <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/03/07/g-s1-52362/tariffs-farmers-trade-china-mexico-canada"><span>reports</span></a>. In the last trade war that Trump started in 2018, U.S. farmers missed up to US$27 billion in lost exports to China. China’s enormous consumer market has now the capability to attract other producers. After 2018, China turned to Brazil and Argentina to replace soybeans produced by American farmers. Last year, a <a href="https://ncga.com/stay-informed/media/in-the-news/article/2024/10/analysis-shows-tariff-induced-trade-war-would-hurt-u-s-farmers"><span>study</span></a> conducted by the American National Corngrowers Association warned that in the event of a new trade war, U.S. soybean exports to China could drop by 51.8%, and U.S. corn exports to China could plummet by 84.3%.” Meanwhile, it stated, Brazil and Argentina would likely increase their exports, gaining valuable market share.</p>
<p>When it comes to manufacturing, China this month imposed tariffs on farm machinery, large-engine cars and pickup trucks. China can replace these goods with China-made ones. China’s farming machinery sector is well advanced now, but it still lacks the soft power and popularity of famous American brands such as John Deer &amp; Co. The latter has <a href="https://www.ttnews.com/articles/deere-tariffs-warning"><span>warned</span></a> recently that while Chinese tariffs on American agricultural machinery might not be very harmful, nonetheless the fact that American farmers could be losing market shares in China would affect the company indirectly as the farmers’ purchasing power will decline and their inventory of farming machinery shrinks. Besides, it is widely admitted that U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminium will increase the cost of production of machinery inside the U.S.</p>
<p>Professor Yan stressed that China’s retaliatory action “restricting 25 rare minerals exports, including tungsten and indium, which are essential for electrical and aerospace products” will negatively affect many of these important industries inside the U.S. China has achieved absolute dominance over the rare earth elements’ (RRE) production by 2023, according to a <a href="https://www.oxfordenergy.org/publications/chinas-rare-earths-dominance-and-policy-responses/"><span>study</span></a> conducted by the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. It stated that “although the REEs are not geologically rare, China dominates the supply chain, accounting for 70% of global rare earth ore extraction and 90% of rare earth ore processing. Notably, China is the only large-scale producer of heavy rare earth ores.” The fact of the matter is that it is not enough to acquire and extract REE deposits as President Trump hopes to do in Ukraine. The processing of these extracted deposits is a delicate and costly factor of production of the final minerals that can be used in industries.</p>
<p>With the world supply chains being extremely entangled today, as we showed in a <a href="https://brixsweden.org/the-entanglement-of-global-supply-chains-why-decoupling-from-china-is-suicide/"><span>previous article</span></a>, it is impossible for any one nation to achieve absolute self-sufficiency and independence in every sector. It is more cost-effective to cooperate and partner with other nations who have a higher leverage in certain areas and need outside input from others. Global common prosperity can be ensured and peace and security built on a firmer foundation. The current trade and tariff wars are not making these goals achievable. Interdependence and co-existence should be self-evident in the world we live in today.</p>

Trump asserted that &quot;Ronald Reagan wanted to do that long ago but the technology just wasn't there..&quot;  But what exactly WAS the proposed technology and intention behind President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)?\n\nOn May 31, 1977, LaRouche and his associates published a 40-page pamphlet titled &quot;Sputnik of the Seventies: The Science Behind the Soviets' Beam Weapon&quot; reporting on Soviet breakthroughs in advanced laser physics and their potential military and economic use. LaRouche's subsequent campaign for a crash program for &quot;beam weapon defense&quot; for the United States was what in fact became adopted as President Ronald Reagan's SDI on March 23, 1983. As you'll learn from this week's LaRouche Show video originally produced in 2008, LaRouche's policy was empathically NOT simply a military one, but was meant to be a &quot;Grand Design&quot; crash program akin to NASA's Apollo Program which would also transform the United States' and other nations' economies with revolutionary technologies. As Reagan proposed, these technologies would then also be shared with the Soviet Union to finally make nuclear missiles &quot;impotent and obsolete.&quot; Of course, this would have completely overthrown the post-war Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) globalist policy of Henry Kissinger and his British masters, paving the way for a completely new world strategic and economic development architecture.\n\nWill Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ finally realize LaRouche’s conception of the SDI?","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/zS_jyyTSsrg/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

<p>The Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX) is organizing a webinar to discuss with European and Chinese experts the dramatic changes underway in 2025. These developments, triggered partly by actions taken by President Donald Trump’s Administration, have created possibilities for genuine cooperation and friendship within the global perspective of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The question remains if the EU will take this opportunity to embrace the BRI. This would mean the final abandonment of geopolitically minded zero-sum policies which have separated Europe from Russia and China.  As China’s President Xi Jinping expressed it, the nations of the world find themselves in “one boat”.</p>
<p>There is no question that development in manufacturing and infrastructure combined with these new innovative technologies will continue to grow and expand in those over 150 countries which have agreed to cooperate with the BRI.</p>
<p>If we seize the new opportunities for new technological and economic development, there will be ways for achieving common global peace and prosperity. There exist nonetheless great challenges. How will Europe, the EU, and Sweden respond to these dramatic global changes and challenges? How will Sweden and Europe respond to the emerging and rapidly growing Global South and BRICS? These are the questions we raise in this webinar.</p>
<p>The BRIX members believe that the Belt and Road Initiative is the appropriate framework which can facilitate increased cooperation and dialogue in 2025.  There are specific steps the EU can take to position itself in a more advantageous position than the current precarious one it finds itself in.</p>
<p>Attend this upcoming webinar to find out what these steps are!</p>

<p>Dear Readers, I am continuing my policy of holding accountable whatever government is in office.  Consequently, I upset both Democrats and Republicans, both the liberal-left and conservatives.  If this website is to continue, it must have its readers’ support.  This website does not receive, as some others do, grants from USAID or other federal agencies and departments.  The Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, Bill Gates, and George Soros do not look upon  me with favor.</p>
<p><strong>Is President Trump an Israeli Puppet?</strong></p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>President Trump has given every indication that he is as concerned with Israel’s interest as he is with the interests of MAGA Americans.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I have expressed the hope that Trump’s sickening kowtowing to Israel is a strategy to keep the Israel Lobby off his back until he can deal with other opponents who stand in the way of his domestic agenda.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I still have this hope, but it has been shaken by the Trump administration’s sacrifice of constitutionally protected free speech in order to protect Israel from criticism.</p>
<p>Last Friday the Epoch Times reported that the Trump administration had cancelled $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University for failing to act on allegations of anti-semitism.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Trump administration’s “Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism” consists of the departments of Justice, Education, Health and Human Resources, and the General Services Administration.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The members of this task force are well positioned to ingratiate themselves with Israel, which can easily result in well-enumerated positions after their time in government is over.</p>
<p>What does the Trump task force mean by “anti-semitism”?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It means protests against Israel’s destruction of Palestine.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It means that no matter how horrific Israel’s war crimes and no matter the ICC’s indictment of Netanyahu, for students and faculty to protest genocide or mass murder, if Israel is the perpetrator, is “anti-semitic.”  It is OK to protest against other countries, but not against Israel.</p>
<p>Protests against Israel’s actions are equated with harassment and persecution of Jewish students at Columbia.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> This equation implies that Jewish Americans identify with Israel and not with the United States. Does an immigrant from England feel harassed and persecuted if Americans protest against England?  </span>President Trump has branded  protests against Israel  “illegal protests.”<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>In other words, Trump is saying that the exercise of free speech <em>if Israel is the target</em> is illegal because it is anti-semitic.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Protesters can say whatever they wish about Americans, Russia, China, Muslims, and Palestinians, but not about Israelis. <span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Trump is also guilty of conflating Israeli citizens with American Jewish citizens.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If Trump applied his Israeli standards to all ethnicities, no one would be able to express any criticism and protest any action by any government.</p>
<p>Trump declared: “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on … the crime, arrested.”  Trump did not explain how the First Amendment became illegal.  Does his dictate apply to Black Lives Matter and Antifa, to LGBTQ protests?</p>
<p>Do Trump, the DOJ and other departments realize that they have criminalized a constitutionally-protected right if that right is used to protest Israel’s mass slaughter of Palestinians?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>In the United States is it now illegal to protest genocide if Israelis are the perpetrators? <span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>I was surprised that Columbia, a wealthy private university, was receiving $400 million in US taxpayers’ money.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But it turns out that $400 million is only the tip off the iceberg.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Epoch Times reports that Columbia “holds about $5 billion in federal grant commitments.”<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>This is big money even for Columbia.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>In response to the money threat, the university’s administration accepted the Trump administration’s destruction of the First Amendment and quickly got on board with the Trump administration.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Columbia announced that its administration is “fully committed to combatting antisemitism” and “looks forward to ongoing work with the new federal administration to fight antisemitism.”</p>
<p>Trump and his supporters do not recognize the blatant contradiction between suppressing free speech and Making America Great Again.</p>
<p>America’s greatness did not come from tyranny.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>America’s greatness resides in the civil liberties guaranteed by the US Constitution. It is disheartening to find the First Amendment under assault by the Trump regime.</p>

<p>A highlighted Two Sessions. A promising private sector. As China concludes its 14th Five-Year Plan and prepares for the 15th, 2025 ushers in a transformative era focused on green and low-carbon transition, new consumption, and young talent. While challenges remain, the country is aiming at finding ways to motivate private enterprises to play a bigger role in driving technological innovation and industrial upgrades. How can young innovators leverage policies to stay competitive in this process? Stay tuned for a roundtable discussion between CGTN's Wang Guan and a panel of experts, entrepreneurs, and young business leaders.</p>

the books when America decided it was more important to put down London’s Fascist Frankenstein threat than fight Britain head on in WWII.</p><p>The Green agenda’s infiltration into US foreign and energy policy considerations was also driven in large measure through the influence of Canada’s Maurice Strong.</p><p>From 1963-1970, Strong oversaw a vast re-organization of the Liberal Party, even bragging to his biographer Elaine Dewar in 1994 that he was on the selection committee that brought Fabian Society agent Pierre Trudeau into politics in 1963.</p><p>From 1965-1967, Strong ran Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, founded Canada’s International Development Agency (CIDA,) which transformed the philosophy of “international aid” from assisting poor nations to build full-spectrum economies into predatory lending tied to conditionalities. He also mentored a young Klaus Schwab, co-founded the World Economic Forum in 1971, chaired the first UN Forum on Population in 1972, served on the Bilderberg group Steering Committee, and crafted a worldview which became known as ‘The Green New Deal’ and Agenda 21 (launched at the RIO Summit in Brazil in 1992… which he also chaired).</p><p>Today, the spiritual heir of Maurice Strong and the Roundtable Movement is being set up to take control of Canada. I speak, of course, of Mark Carney.</p><h1>Mark Carney’s Genocidal Pedigree</h1><p>The <a href="https://nationalpost.com/opinion/peter-foster-mark-carney-man-of-destiny-arises-to-revolutionize-society-it-wont-be-pleasant?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email">National Post’s Peter Foster described Mark Carney’s mandate eloquently, writing:</a></p><blockquote><p>“Since the advent of the COVID pandemic, Carney has been front and centre in the promotion of a political agenda known as the “Great Reset,” or the “Green New Deal,” or “Building Back Better.”</p><p>All are predicated on the claim that COVID, and its disruption of the global economy, provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not just to regulate climate, but to frame a more fair, more diverse, more inclusive, more safe and more woke world.”</p></blockquote><p>Mark Carney can best be described as one of the most important insiders and mascots for the oligarchy, serving as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, World Economic Forum Trustee (alongside fellow Oxford trainee Chrystia Freeland), former governor of the Bank of Canada and then the Bank of England and the Chair of the Financial Stability Board from 2011-2018, where he oversaw the growth of the very derivatives time bomb which was designed to take down the trans Atlantic financial system in a future controlled detonation.</p><p>In 2024, Carney was even made President of the queen of all think tanks: The Royal Institute for International Affairs (aka: Chatham House,) whose American branch was set up in 1921 as ‘The Council on Foreign Relations’.</p><p>This international web of Roundtable think tanks would coordinate several generations of Oxford Rhodes Scholars,<a href="https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/towards-church-british-empire-world-government-british-empire-revivalism/"> and would follow the mandate of Cecil Rhodes to create a “church of the British Empire” and recapture the colonies of America that declared independence in 1776.</a></p><h1><strong>Green Bonds and Oligarchs</strong></h1><p>On top of heading the Bank of England, former Goldman Sachs-man Carney has also endorsed the Financial Stability Board’s <em>Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures,</em> which was created in 2015 and was used as a guideline for the UK government’s July 2019 White Paper “<em>Green Finance Strategy: Transforming Finance for a Greener Future</em>“.</p><p>The White Paper proposed to <em>“consolidate the UK’s position as a global hub for green finance and positioning the UK at the head of green financial innovation and data and analytics… endorsed by institutions representing $118 trillion of assets globally”.</em></p><p>The Carney-led Task Force also spawned the <em>Green Finance Initiative</em> in 2016, which is now a primary vehicle designed to <strong>divert international capital flows into green tech</strong>.<br><br>Carney’s former employer at Goldman Sachs has also created a “Green Index for ‘virtuous investing,” including two new sustainability indices to promote heavy investment into green infrastructure, called <a href="https://www.cdp.net/en/articles/investor/cdp-announces-first-global-index-of-top-ranking-environmental-stocks-with-goldman-sachs">CDP Environment EW and CDP Eurozone EW</a>.</p><p>The acronym CDP originates from the <em>Climate Disclosure Project</em> – a London-based think tank that generated Goldman Sachs’ program. Goldman Sachs’ Marine Abiad promoted the CDP index, saying on July 10 <em>“we are convinced that sustainable finance enables financial markets to play a virtuous role in the economy.”</em></p><p>No doubt they are.</p><p>Under the influence of Mark Carney and King Charles, the Bank of England and some of the dirtiest banks in the Rothschild-City of London web of finance have promoted “green financial instruments,” led by Green Bonds to <strong>redirect pension plans and mutual funds towards green projects that no one in their right minds would ever invest in willfully</strong>.</p><p>The <em>Ecological, Social, Governance Index</em> (ESGI) has now been set up across 51% of Germany’s banks, including the derivatives-bomb waiting to blow named Deutschebank.</p><p>Leading bankers supporting the ESGI, like Mark Carney of the Bank of England, have said that over 6.5 trillion Euros could be mobilized under this new index (which currently accounts for about $160 billion).</p><p>The creation of these “green bonds” run hand-in-hand with the Bail-in mechanisms which have now been implemented across the trans-Atlantic nations in order to steal trillions of dollars from pension funds, RRSPs and Mutual funds the next time a bail-out is needed to prop up the “too-big-to-fails,” which currently sit atop a $1.2 trillion derivatives bubble waiting to blow.</p><p>Just in case you thought the Extinction Rebellion was somehow untouched by the hand of social engineers, <strong>a leading figure behind the movement named Alex Evans was a former consultant on Prince Charles’s</strong> <em><strong>International Sustainability Unit</strong></em><strong>, and co-author of the US National Intelligence Council’s</strong> <em><strong><a href="https://www.files.ethz.ch/isn/94769/2008_11_Global_Trends_2025.pdf">Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World</a>,</strong></em> <strong>which became an environmental/foreign policy blueprint for the Obama Administration in 2008</strong>.</p><p>Currently, Evans also runs the <em><a href="https://www.collectivepsychology.org/who/">Collective Psychology Project</a></em>, <em>“where psychology meets politics.”</em></p><p>Other leading British intelligence figures managing the Extinction Rebellion movement included Farhana Yamin and Sam Gaell of Chatham House (the controlling institution behind the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations overseen by Mark Carney).</p><p>How much of a rebellion can it really be… if the rebellion is set up by the establishment?</p><h1><strong>The issue has always been population control.</strong></h1><p>The oligarchs running the “grand green design” since the Club of Rome’s Sir Alexander King began the <em>Limits to Growth</em> study in 1970 knew that green “low-energy flux density” sources of energy would constrict global population, and that is exactly what they wanted.</p><p>Sir King said so much in 1990 <a href="https://archive.org/details/TheFirstGlobalRevolution/page/n1">when he wrote</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill… All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”</p></blockquote><p>Sir King was, after all, just following the lead of UNESCO founder (and Eugenics president) Sir Julian Huxley, <a href="https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f9a5/016e4aafa1d868051e0dbddb04cbe2a25697.pdf">who wrote in 1946</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“Political unification in some sort of world government will be required… Even though… any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”</p></blockquote><p>It was only a few years later that Huxley would co-found the World Wildlife Fund alongside Prince Philip Mountbatten and Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands. <strong>All three were present at Bernhardt’s founding meeting of the Bilderberg group to advance this grand conversion of society into a willful self-extermination</strong> in 1954, and while Huxley wasn’t present in 1970, the other two oligarchs <a href="https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1994/eirv21n43-19941028/eirv21n43-19941028_025-the_1001_club_a_nature_trust.pdf">co-founded the 1001 Nature Trust</a> alongside 999 other wealthy misanthropes to fund the blossoming environmental movement.</p><p>These forces were also behind the coup d’état in America, which <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/2019/08/17/how-the-trilateral-commission-drove-a-bankers-coup-across-america/">put the Trilateral Commission in power</a> under Jimmy Carter and unleashed the <em>“controlled disintegration of the US economy</em>” from 1978-1982 (this will be the topic of another study).</p><p>This grouping, led by Zbigniew Brzezinski, not only played the <a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/opinion/murat-yetkin/we-owe-radical-islamist-militancy-to-brzezinski-113639">radical Islam card against the Soviet Union</a>, but also established a program of population reduction through the promotion of green energy sources long before it was popular.</p><p>Prior to chairing the Rio Summit in 1992 that inaugurated the term ‘sustainable development’ and Agenda 21, Maurice Strong (a 1001 Nature Trust founder, Bilderberger, and VP of the World Wildlife Fund under Prince Philip) mused over the controlled disintegration of society <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140802220453/http:/www.theageoftransitions.com/images/stories/documents/wizard_baca_grande_1990.pdf">when he said:</a></p><blockquote><p>“What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group’s conclusion is ‘no’. The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”</p></blockquote><p>The oligarchs that are currently trying to ‘reform’ humanity today don’t care about the environment.</p><p>Prince Philip and Bernhard have been recorded to have killed more endangered species on safari than most people have killed mosquitos. <strong>They just don’t like people. Especially thinking people—thinking people who question how and why arbitrary rules are applied to justify wars, poverty and oligarchism which destroys lives both now and in the future</strong>.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Time-Come-Canada-Join-Silk/dp/1792881622">The Belt and Road Initiative </a>and the tendency to grow the human population both quantitatively and qualitatively which such great projects entail is the target of the Green New Deal.</p><p>The legacy of scientific and technological progress that launched Western civilization out of a dark age and into a renaissance in the 15<sup>th</sup> century is under attack because it is that lost ethic which the oligarchy KNOWS may yet be awoken and <strong>which would bring the West into harmony with the Russia-China program for growth and development under a philosophy of “win-win cooperation,” both on Earth and <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/2019/07/20/space-exploration-and-humanitys-struggle-for-open-system-economics/">also in space</a>.</strong></p><p>The effects of the ideas of the renaissance coincided with the greatest rate of discoveries of universal principles, as mankind sought to come to know the mind of god by studying the book of nature with a heart of love and attitude of humility exemplified in the figure of Leonardo Da Vinci. The explosion of new technologies that arose not only revolutionized astronomy, medicine and engineering, but gave birth to the modern industrial economy, which coincided with the <a href="https://archive.schillerinstitute.com/fid_91-96/934_population_growth.html">greatest rise of population in history</a>.</p><p>This exponential rise has been used by Malthusians for centuries as the proof that mankind is “just another cancerous growth” on the “purity of mother Gaia.”</p><p>So if you don’t agree with the “humans=cancer” philosophy and want something a bit more optimistic in your life, then support <a href="https://youtu.be/TpBh9krAaqc?si=IqCEVlDZExmCNLKk">a real New Deal today.</a></p><p><strong>Matthew Ehret is the editor-in-chief of <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/">The Canadian Patriot Review</a>, Senior Fellow of the American University in Moscow and Director of <a href="https://risingtidefoundation.net/">the Rising Tide Foundation</a>.

<p><span>In September 2024, I published an article titled</span> <a href="https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/eco-warrior-mark-carney-set-up-to" rel>‘Eco-Warrior Mark Carney: Set up to Replace Trudeau and Usher in Great Reset’</a><span>.</span></p>
<p>Now that Carney has been officially installed as the interim Prime Minister of Canada, I’d like to expand a bit on that thesis and explain how the decision to replace Justin Trudeau with the much more vicious technocrat can only be understood by 1) recognizing the systemic breakdown now at play, and 2) the historic role of the British Empire in using Canada as a weapon against Canadians, and especially Americans going back for over two centuries.</p>

<p><span>When Cecil Rhodes’ Roundtable (founded in 1902)</span> <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/2022/01/27/origins-of-deep-state-part1/" rel>became a driving force in shaping imperial grand strategy in order to recapture the lost colonies of the Americas and establish a world federation under the City of London,</a> <span>it was Canada that incubated hundreds of Rhodes Scholars between 1907 through 1952, which then infiltrated the USA.</span></p>
<p><span>This fact was exposed by American journalist Eugene Griffin in the 1951 Chicago Tribune article titled:</span> <em>“Canada Offers Fine Field to Rhodes’ Wards,”</em> <span>published as one of a series of 16 explosive articles between July 15-31, 1951 in the Chicago Tribune:</span></p>
<p><em>“Scholars and other British educated Canadians are in a unique position to serve Britain through Canada’s influence on Washington as a next door neighbor of the United States. Canada acts as a connecting link between England and the United States, helping to hold the neighboring republic in line with the dominion’s mother country…</em></p>
<p><em>When Gen. MacArthur displeased Britain and Canada by his efforts to win the Korean war, Canada’s Oxford educated minister for external affairs, Lester B. Pearson, complained that American-Canadian relations had become “difficult and delicate”.</em></p>
<p><em>MacArthur was fired the next day…</em></p>
<p><em>Pearson’s foreign office staff is packed with Rhodes scholars. There are 23 among 183 staff officers, or one out of every eight, who were educated at Oxford university, England, on the scholarships created by Cecil Rhodes, empire builder and diamond mogul who wanted the United States taken back into Britain’s fold …</em></p>
<p><em>Other Canadian foreign office members also were educated in England, although not as Rhodes scholars.</em></p>
<p><em>Pearson went to Oxford (St. John’s, 1922) on a Massey scholarship, endowed by a Canadian millionaire…</em></p>
<p><em>Norman A. Robertson, a Rhodes scholar (Balliol, 1923) sometimes called the most brilliant member of the British trained inner circle in the government’s East Block, headquarters of the prime minister and the foreign office, is another important figure in Canada’s relations with Britain and the United States. He is clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the cabinet, and has been undersecretary of state and High Commissioner to Britain.”</em></p>

<p><span>These plans became official US military doctrine in 1930, and were crafted in response to Anglo-Canadian plans to invade the USA that had been drafted ten years earlier (</span><a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/09/09/bcst-books-thread-canada-invasion" rel>known as Defense Scheme 1</a><span>).</span></p>
<p>Despite the name, it is admitted by even the most ardent anti-American historians that these plans were entirely offensive in nature, as no prior US plan to invade Canada then existed.</p>

<p>War Plan Red was only taken off the books when America decided it was more important to put down London’s Fascist Frankenstein threat than fight Britain head on in WWII.</p>
<p>The Green agenda’s infiltration into US foreign and energy policy considerations was also driven in large measure through the influence of Canada’s Maurice Strong.</p>
<p>From 1963-1970, Strong oversaw a vast re-organization of the Liberal Party, even bragging to his biographer Elaine Dewar in 1994 that he was on the selection committee that brought Fabian Society agent Pierre Trudeau into politics in 1963.</p>
<p>From 1965-1967, Strong ran Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, founded Canada’s International Development Agency (CIDA,) which transformed the philosophy of “international aid” from assisting poor nations to build full-spectrum economies into predatory lending tied to conditionalities. He also mentored a young Klaus Schwab, co-founded the World Economic Forum in 1971, chaired the first UN Forum on Population in 1972, served on the Bilderberg group Steering Committee, and crafted a worldview which became known as ‘The Green New Deal’ and Agenda 21 (launched at the RIO Summit in Brazil in 1992… which he also chaired).</p>
<p>Today, the spiritual heir of Maurice Strong and the Roundtable Movement is being set up to take control of Canada. I speak, of course, of Mark Carney.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>“Since the advent of the COVID pandemic, Carney has been front and centre in the promotion of a political agenda known as the “Great Reset,” or the “Green New Deal,” or “Building Back Better.”</p>
<p>All are predicated on the claim that COVID, and its disruption of the global economy, provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not just to regulate climate, but to frame a more fair, more diverse, more inclusive, more safe and more woke world.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Mark Carney can best be described as one of the most important insiders and mascots for the oligarchy, serving as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, World Economic Forum Trustee (alongside fellow Oxford trainee Chrystia Freeland), former governor of the Bank of Canada and then the Bank of England and the Chair of the Financial Stability Board from 2011-2018, where he oversaw the growth of the very derivatives time bomb which was designed to take down the trans Atlantic financial system in a future controlled detonation.</p>
<p>In 2024, Carney was even made President of the queen of all think tanks: The Royal Institute for International Affairs (aka: Chatham House,) whose American branch was set up in 1921 as ‘The Council on Foreign Relations’.</p>
<p><span>This international web of Roundtable think tanks would coordinate several generations of Oxford Rhodes Scholars,</span> <a href="https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/towards-church-british-empire-world-government-british-empire-revivalism/" rel>and would follow the mandate of Cecil Rhodes to create a “church of the British Empire” and recapture the colonies of America that declared independence in 1776.</a></p>

<p><span>On top of heading the Bank of England, former Goldman Sachs-man Carney has also endorsed the Financial Stability Board’s</span> <em>Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures,</em> <span>which was created in 2015 and was used as a guideline for the UK government’s July 2019 White Paper “</span><em>Green Finance Strategy: Transforming Finance for a Greener Future</em><span>“.</span></p>
<p><span>The White Paper proposed to</span> <em>“consolidate the UK’s position as a global hub for green finance and positioning the UK at the head of green financial innovation and data and analytics… endorsed by institutions representing $118 trillion of assets globally”.</em></p>
<p><span>The Carney-led Task Force also spawned the</span> <em>Green Finance Initiative</em> <span>in 2016, which is now a primary vehicle designed to</span> <strong>divert international capital flows into green tech</strong><span>.</span></p><p><span>Carney’s former employer at Goldman Sachs has also created a “Green Index for ‘virtuous investing,” including two new sustainability indices to promote heavy investment into green infrastructure, called</span> <a href="https://www.cdp.net/en/articles/investor/cdp-announces-first-global-index-of-top-ranking-environmental-stocks-with-goldman-sachs" rel>CDP Environment EW and CDP Eurozone EW</a><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>The acronym CDP originates from the</span> <em>Climate Disclosure Project</em> <span>– a London-based think tank that generated Goldman Sachs’ program. Goldman Sachs’ Marine Abiad promoted the CDP index, saying on July 10</span> <em>“we are convinced that sustainable finance enables financial markets to play a virtuous role in the economy.”</em></p>
<p>No doubt they are.</p>
<p><span>Under the influence of Mark Carney and King Charles, the Bank of England and some of the dirtiest banks in the Rothschild-City of London web of finance have promoted “green financial instruments,” led by Green Bonds to</span> <strong>redirect pension plans and mutual funds towards green projects that no one in their right minds would ever invest in willfully</strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>The</span> <em>Ecological, Social, Governance Index</em> <span>(ESGI) has now been set up across 51% of Germany’s banks, including the derivatives-bomb waiting to blow named Deutschebank.</span></p>
<p>Leading bankers supporting the ESGI, like Mark Carney of the Bank of England, have said that over 6.5 trillion Euros could be mobilized under this new index (which currently accounts for about $160 billion).</p>
<p>The creation of these “green bonds” run hand-in-hand with the Bail-in mechanisms which have now been implemented across the trans-Atlantic nations in order to steal trillions of dollars from pension funds, RRSPs and Mutual funds the next time a bail-out is needed to prop up the “too-big-to-fails,” which currently sit atop a $1.2 trillion derivatives bubble waiting to blow.</p>
<p><span>Just in case you thought the Extinction Rebellion was somehow untouched by the hand of social engineers,</span> <strong>a leading figure behind the movement named Alex Evans was a former consultant on Prince Charles’s</strong> <em><strong>International Sustainability Unit</strong></em><strong>, and co-author of the US National Intelligence Council’s</strong> <em><strong><a href="https://www.files.ethz.ch/isn/94769/2008_11_Global_Trends_2025.pdf" rel>Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World</a><span>,</span></strong></em> <strong>which became an environmental/foreign policy blueprint for the Obama Administration in 2008</strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Currently, Evans also runs the</span> <em><a href="https://www.collectivepsychology.org/who/" rel>Collective Psychology Project</a></em><span>,</span> <em>“where psychology meets politics.”</em></p>
<p>Other leading British intelligence figures managing the Extinction Rebellion movement included Farhana Yamin and Sam Gaell of Chatham House (the controlling institution behind the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations overseen by Mark Carney).</p>
<p>How much of a rebellion can it really be… if the rebellion is set up by the establishment?</p>

<p><span>The oligarchs running the “grand green design” since the Club of Rome’s Sir Alexander King began the</span> <em>Limits to Growth</em> <span>study in 1970 knew that green “low-energy flux density” sources of energy would constrict global population, and that is exactly what they wanted.</span></p>
<p><span>Sir King said so much in 1990</span> <a href="https://archive.org/details/TheFirstGlobalRevolution/page/n1" rel>when he wrote</a><span>:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill… All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Sir King was, after all, just following the lead of UNESCO founder (and Eugenics president) Sir Julian Huxley,</span> <a href="https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f9a5/016e4aafa1d868051e0dbddb04cbe2a25697.pdf" rel>who wrote in 1946</a><span>:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Political unification in some sort of world government will be required… Even though… any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>It was only a few years later that Huxley would co-found the World Wildlife Fund alongside Prince Philip Mountbatten and Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands.</span> <strong>All three were present at Bernhardt’s founding meeting of the Bilderberg group to advance this grand conversion of society into a willful self-extermination</strong> <span>in 1954, and while Huxley wasn’t present in 1970, the other two oligarchs</span> <a href="https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1994/eirv21n43-19941028/eirv21n43-19941028_025-the_1001_club_a_nature_trust.pdf" rel>co-founded the 1001 Nature Trust</a> <span>alongside 999 other wealthy misanthropes to fund the blossoming environmental movement.</span></p>
<p><span>These forces were also behind the coup d’état in America, which</span> <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/2019/08/17/how-the-trilateral-commission-drove-a-bankers-coup-across-america/" rel>put the Trilateral Commission in power</a> <span>under Jimmy Carter and unleashed the</span> <em>“controlled disintegration of the US economy</em><span>” from 1978-1982 (this will be the topic of another study).</span></p>
<p><span>This grouping, led by Zbigniew Brzezinski, not only played the</span> <a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/opinion/murat-yetkin/we-owe-radical-islamist-militancy-to-brzezinski-113639" rel>radical Islam card against the Soviet Union</a><span>, but also established a program of population reduction through the promotion of green energy sources long before it was popular.</span></p>
<p><span>Prior to chairing the Rio Summit in 1992 that inaugurated the term ‘sustainable development’ and Agenda 21, Maurice Strong (a 1001 Nature Trust founder, Bilderberger, and VP of the World Wildlife Fund under Prince Philip) mused over the controlled disintegration of society</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140802220453/http:/www.theageoftransitions.com/images/stories/documents/wizard_baca_grande_1990.pdf" rel>when he said:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>“What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group’s conclusion is ‘no’. The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The oligarchs that are currently trying to ‘reform’ humanity today don’t care about the environment.</p>
<p><span>Prince Philip and Bernhard have been recorded to have killed more endangered species on safari than most people have killed mosquitos.</span> <strong>They just don’t like people. Especially thinking people—thinking people who question how and why arbitrary rules are applied to justify wars, poverty and oligarchism which destroys lives both now and in the future</strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Time-Come-Canada-Join-Silk/dp/1792881622" rel>The Belt and Road Initiative</a> <span>and the tendency to grow the human population both quantitatively and qualitatively which such great projects entail is the target of the Green New Deal.</span></p>
<p><span>The legacy of scientific and technological progress that launched Western civilization out of a dark age and into a renaissance in the 15</span><sup>th</sup><span>century is under attack because it is that lost ethic which the oligarchy KNOWS may yet be awoken and</span> <strong><span>which would bring the West into harmony with the Russia-China program for growth and development under a philosophy of “win-win cooperation,” both on Earth and</span> <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/2019/07/20/space-exploration-and-humanitys-struggle-for-open-system-economics/" rel>also in space</a><span>.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The effects of the ideas of the renaissance coincided with the greatest rate of discoveries of universal principles, as mankind sought to come to know the mind of god by studying the book of nature with a heart of love and attitude of humility exemplified in the figure of Leonardo Da Vinci. The explosion of new technologies that arose not only revolutionized astronomy, medicine and engineering, but gave birth to the modern industrial economy, which coincided with the</span> <a href="https://archive.schillerinstitute.com/fid_91-96/934_population_growth.html" rel>greatest rise of population in history</a><span>.</span></p>
<p>This exponential rise has been used by Malthusians for centuries as the proof that mankind is “just another cancerous growth” on the “purity of mother Gaia.”</p>
<p><span>So if you don’t agree with the “humans=cancer” philosophy and want something a bit more optimistic in your life, then support</span> <a href="https://youtu.be/TpBh9krAaqc?si=IqCEVlDZExmCNLKk" rel>a real New Deal today.</a></p>
