by Schepp<br><p>Everybody loves fast websites, and everyone despises slow ones even more. Site speed significantly contributes to the overall user experience (UX), determining whether it feels positive or negative. To ensure the fastest possible page load times, it’s crucial to design with performance in mind. However, performance optimization is an art form in itself. While implementing straightforward techniques like file compression or proper cache headers is relatively easy, achieving deeper optimizations can quickly become complex.</p>
<p>But what if, instead of solely trying to accelerate the loading process, we triggered it earlier—without the user noticing?</p>
<p>One way to achieve this is by prefetching pages the user might navigate to next using <code>&lt;link rel="prefetch"&gt;</code> tags. These tags are typically embedded in your HTML, but they can also be generated dynamically via JavaScript, based on a heuristic of your choice. Alternatively, you can send them as an <a href="https://www.debugbear.com/blog/resource-hints-rel-preload-prefetch-preconnect#resource-hints-in-http-headers">HTTP <code>Link</code> header</a> if you lack access to the HTML code but can modify the server configuration. Browsers will take note of the prefetch directives and fetch the referenced pages as needed.</p>
<aside data-sanitized-class="info">
<p><em><strong>⚠︎ Caveat:</strong> To benefit from this prefetching technique, you must allow the browser to cache pages temporarily using the <code>Cache-Control</code> HTTP header. For example, <code>Cache-Control: max-age=300</code> would tell the browser to cache a page for five minutes. Without such a header, the browser will discard the pre-fetched resource and fetch it again upon navigation, rendering the prefetch ineffective.</em></p>
</aside>
<p>In addition to <code>&lt;link rel="prefetch"&gt;</code>, Chromium-based browsers support <code>&lt;link rel="prerender"&gt;</code>. This tag is essentially a supercharged version of <code>&lt;link rel="prefetch"&gt;</code>. Known as "<a href="https://developer.chrome.com/blog/nostate-prefetch">NoState Prefetch</a>," it not only prefetches an HTML page but also scans it for subresources—stylesheets, JavaScript files, images, and fonts referenced via a <code>&lt;link rel="preload" as="font" crossorigin&gt;</code> — loading them as well.</p>
<h3 data-sanitized-id="the-speculation-rules-api">The Speculation Rules API</h3>
<p>A relatively new addition to Chromium browsers is the <strong>Speculation Rules API</strong>, which offers enhanced prefetching and enables actual prerendering of webpages. It introduces a JSON-based syntax for precisely defining the conditions under which preprocessing should occur.</p>
<p>Here’s a simple example of how to use it:</p>
<pre data-sanitized-class="language-html"><code data-sanitized-class="language-html"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;</span>script</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token attr-name">type</span><span data-sanitized-class="token attr-value"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation attr-equals">=</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span>speculationrules<span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token script"><span data-sanitized-class="token language-javascript"><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"prerender"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">[</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">    <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"urls"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">[</span><span data-sanitized-class="token string">"next.html"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">,</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"next2.html"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">]</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">]</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span></span><br></span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;/</span>script</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span></code></pre>
<aside data-sanitized-class="info">
<p>Alternatively, you can place the JSON file on your server and reference it using an HTTP header: <code>Speculation-Rules: "/speculationrules.json"</code>.</p>
</aside>
<p>The above <code>list</code>-rule specifies that the browser should prerender the URLs <code>next.html</code> and <code>next2.html</code> so they are ready for instant navigation. The keyword <code>prerender</code> means more than fetching the HTML and subresources—it instructs the browser to fully render the pages in hidden tabs, ready to replace the current page instantly when needed. This makes navigation to these pages feel seamless.</p>
<p>Prerendered pages also typically score excellent Core Web Vital metrics. Layout shifts and image loading occur during the hidden prerendering phase, and JavaScript execution happens upfront, ensuring a smooth experience when the user first sees the page.</p>
<p>Instead of listing specific URLs, the API also allows for pattern matching using <code>where</code> and <code>href_matches</code> keys:</p>
<pre data-sanitized-class="language-html"><code data-sanitized-class="language-html"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;</span>script</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token attr-name">type</span><span data-sanitized-class="token attr-value"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation attr-equals">=</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span>speculationrules<span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token script"><span data-sanitized-class="token language-javascript"><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"prerender"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">[</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">    <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"where"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"href_matches"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"/*"</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">]</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span></span><br></span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;/</span>script</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span></code></pre>
<p>For more precise targeting, CSS selectors can be used with the <code>selector_matches</code> key:</p>
<pre data-sanitized-class="language-html"><code data-sanitized-class="language-html"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;</span>script</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token attr-name">type</span><span data-sanitized-class="token attr-value"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation attr-equals">=</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span>speculationrules<span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token script"><span data-sanitized-class="token language-javascript"><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"prerender"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">[</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">    <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"where"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"selector_matches"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">".navigation__link"</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">]</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span></span><br></span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;/</span>script</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span></code></pre>
<p>These rules, called <code>document</code>-rules, act on link elements as soon as the user triggers a <code>pointerdown</code> or <code>touchstart</code> event, giving the referenced pages a few milliseconds' head start before the actual navigation.</p>
<p>If you want the preprocessing to begin even earlier, you can adjust the <code>eagerness</code> setting:</p>
<pre data-sanitized-class="language-html"><code data-sanitized-class="language-html"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;</span>script</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token attr-name">type</span><span data-sanitized-class="token attr-value"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation attr-equals">=</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span>speculationrules<span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">"</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token script"><span data-sanitized-class="token language-javascript"><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"prerender"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">[</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">    <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"where"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">{</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"href_matches"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"/*"</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">,</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">    <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"eagerness"</span><span data-sanitized-class="token operator">:</span> <span data-sanitized-class="token string">"moderate"</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line">  <span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">]</span></span><br><span data-sanitized-class="highlight-line"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">}</span></span><br></span></span><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token tag"><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&lt;/</span>script</span><span data-sanitized-class="token punctuation">&gt;</span></span></code></pre>
<p><strong>Eagerness values:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>immediate</code>: Executes immediately.</li>
<li><code>eager</code>: Currently behaves like <code>immediate</code> but may be refined to sit between <code>immediate</code> and <code>moderate</code>.</li>
<li><code>moderate</code>: Executes after a 200ms hover or on <code>pointerdown</code> for mobile devices.</li>
<li><code>conservative</code> (default): Speculates based on pointer or touch interaction.</li>
</ul>
<p>For even greater flexibility, you can combine <code>prerender</code> and <code>prefetch</code> rules with different eagerness settings:</p>

<h3 data-sanitized-id="limitations-and-challenges">Limitations and Challenges</h3>
<p>While the Speculation Rules API is powerful, it comes with some limitations:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Browser support:</strong> Only Chromium-based browsers support it. Other browsers lack this capability, so treat it as a progressive enhancement.</li>
<li><strong>Bandwidth concerns:</strong> Over-aggressive settings could waste user bandwidth. Chromium imposes limits to mitigate this: a maximum of 10 prerendered and 50 prefetched pages with <code>immediate</code> or <code>eager</code> eagerness.</li>
<li><strong>Server strain:</strong> Poorly optimized servers (e.g., no caching, heavy database dependencies) may experience significant load increases due to excessive speculative requests.</li>
<li><strong>Compatibility:</strong> Prefetching won’t work if a Service Worker is active, though prerendering remains unaffected. Cross-origin prerendering requires explicit opt-in by the target page.</li>
</ol>
<p>Despite these caveats, the Speculation Rules API offers a powerful toolset to significantly enhance perceived performance and improve UX. So go ahead and try them out!</p>

title: datalists are more powerful than you think

by Alexis Degryse<br><p>I think we all know the <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> element (and if you don’t, it’s ok). It holds a list of <code>&lt;option&gt;</code> elements, offering suggested choices for its associated input field.</p>
<p>It’s not an alternative for the <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> element. A field associated to a <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> can still allow any value that is not listed in the <code>&lt;option&gt;</code> elements.</p>
<p>Here is a basic example:</p>
<iframe height="400" scrolling="no" title="Demo textual datalist on Codepen" src="https://codepen.io/twogrey/embed/preview/QwLEwvG?default-tab=result" frameborder="no" loading="lazy" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe>
<p>Pretty cool, isn't it? But what happens if we combine <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> with less common field types, like <code>color</code> and <code>date</code>:</p>

<p>Please, note that <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> should be seen as a <strong>progressive enhancement</strong> because of some points:</p>
<ul>
<li>For Firefox (tested on 133), the <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> element is compatible only with textual field types (think about text, url, tel, email, number). There is no support for color, date and time.</li>
<li>For Safari (tested on 15.6), it has support for color, but not for date and time.</li>
<li>With some screen reader/browser combinations there are issues. For example, <a href="https://a11ysupport.io/tests/tech__html__datalist/html__datalist_element/convey_role/vo_macos/safari">suggestions are not announced in Safari</a> and it's not possible to navigate to the datalist with the <code>down arrow</code> key (until you type something matched with suggestions).

<p>The sequence of  events that took place during the last few months of this year, including the presidential elections in the United States and the war in Syria overshadowed important developments in the news cycle, especially on the economic front. One of them is the approaching collapse of Great Britain. </p><p>I believe that we are close to the precipice of events that will remain recorded in history, perhaps like the 1921 Weimar republic hyperinflation, 1929 stock market crash, or the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The events will cause a lot of pain for great many people, but if we correctly anticipate them and prepare for the coming changes, at the very least we should be able to weather the storm intact.</p><p>About three months ago, on 26 August I published an article titled “<a href="https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/the-coming-collapse-of-britain">The coming collapse of Britain</a>.” If you missed it, give it a scan as it sets the backdrop to this report. During this year’s summer months, British ruling establishment appeared to be in a panic over Ukraine’s imminent military defeat and her debt default. Britain has invested quite massively in project Ukraine, which now looks like a failed investment. </p><p>Indeed, on 27 August, only one day after I published that article, Prime Minister <strong>Keir</strong> <strong>Starmer</strong> gave a <a href="https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1828356735436013697">speech in the Downing Street garden</a>, in which he disclosed that there was a “£22 billion black hole in the public finances.” Supposedly, his government only discovered this once they came to power. By “black hole,” Starmer was referring to the government’s unfunded liabilities.</p><h2>Catastrophic fiscal conditions</h2><p>To prepare the nation for more bad news, the Prime Minister announced that the October 30 budget would be “painful.” Well, October 30 is behind us and now we know. When the news broke, Deutsche Bank’s analyst <strong>Sanjay Raja</strong> characterized the budget as, “one of the largest fiscal loosening of any fiscal event in decades.” In the post-war years it was only surpassed in 2020 due to the Covid 19 lockdowns. </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%2F4404eb03-4b35-4860-bea3-42fb56ff6186_574x367.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%2F4404eb03-4b35-4860-bea3-42fb56ff6186_574x367.png" width="574" height="367" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4404eb03-4b35-4860-bea3-42fb56ff6186_574x367.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":367,"width":574,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":93351,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" fetchpriority="high" 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>The new budget adds £142 billion in new debt, which the government expects to raise in capital markets. But the sheer amount of the planned borrowing took the markets by surprise. As it turns out, Britain’s gross financing needs are double what market analysts had expected.</p><p>The painful side to the budget which Mr. Starmer promised will come not only in terms of savage austerity imposed on society’s most vulnerable groups but also in terms of £40 billion in new taxes. The burden of these new taxes will fall largely on British employers, which will in turn hurt the working people. Ultimately, it will also hurt the government. In suffocating the economy, the government will only widen the gap between public spending and its tax receipts. Britain is already running one of the world’s largest budget deficits. Bloomberg’s analyst <strong>Simon White</strong> had a point when he judged the fiscal picture in Britain as catastrophic.</p><h2>Lipstick on a pig</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%2F269a3098-e950-4f3a-aff1-05664394bd8a_771x332.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%2F269a3098-e950-4f3a-aff1-05664394bd8a_771x332.png" width="771" height="332" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/269a3098-e950-4f3a-aff1-05664394bd8a_771x332.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":332,"width":771,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":137684,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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">OBR: Office of Budget Responsibility and airbrushing Britain’s finances.</figcaption></figure></div><p>UK’s Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) applied lipstick on the proverbial pig with some suspiciously rosy-looking forecasts. They projected that the government’s budget deficits will stay at around 2.5% through 2029. Inflation will stay perfectly under control, peaking at 2.6% in 2025 and then gradually fall back to 2% by 2029. The OBR also revised Britain’s 2024 GDP growth rate to 1.1%, up from 0.8% in March. In 2025, the GDP growth will soar to 2%.</p><h2>Reality begs to differ</h2><p>But the government might be a bit optimistic with all these figures. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently downgraded Britain’s economic prospects. They predicted that in 2024, the UK will have the worst performing economy among all the G7 nations with an expected growth of only 0.4%, not 1.1%; and 1% in 2025, not 2%.</p><p>But as it now turns out, even the OECD was much too optimistic. Namely, the official figures show that the British economy actually shrank 0.1% month-on-month for two months in a row, in September and October 2024</p><h2>Bold financial innovation</h2><p>But there’s more: to show itself in its best light, the government even resorted to bold financial innovation. Namely, they disappeared a large chunk of the public debt <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/uk-change-definition-debt-so-it-can-add-90-billion-more">by simply redefining it</a>.</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%2Ff6a08afc-2362-403c-ba52-60144a64194d_591x309.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%2Ff6a08afc-2362-403c-ba52-60144a64194d_591x309.png" width="591" height="309" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f6a08afc-2362-403c-ba52-60144a64194d_591x309.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":309,"width":591,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":236473,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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>In doing so, Keir Starmer’s cabinet gave itself £53 billion in extra borrowing capacity. If the capital markets embraced this bold 21st century financial innovation, all governments, companies and individuals around the world might want to follow suit.</p><p>If you've maxed out all your credit cards, additional borrowing headroom could be just a simple matter of identity politics. You could declare your debt an asset and perfectly good collateral at that, and progressive creditors should have to respect and honor your choices. The 21st century may not have brought us flying cars, but the financial innovations are just as exciting. Who knows, perhaps we could achieve further advancements by declaring that war is peace, slavery is freedom, vaccines are safe and effective, and that ignorance is strength.</p><p>Unfortunately for the government, however, all these innovations failed to impress Mr. Market who punished Starmer’s profligate budget within hours by selling off the government debt and adding 20 basis points to the interest rate on the 10-year British gilts.</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%2Fe8c94e92-ca5d-4df8-aeed-2dc8f6b30b87_712x374.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%2Fe8c94e92-ca5d-4df8-aeed-2dc8f6b30b87_712x374.png" width="712" height="374" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e8c94e92-ca5d-4df8-aeed-2dc8f6b30b87_712x374.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":374,"width":712,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":198289,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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><h2>The good old days of 2022</h2><p>But this reaction was quite minor compared to what happened in September 2022 when Chancellor <strong>Qwasi Qwarteng</strong> presented the <strong>Truss</strong> cabinet budget. The so-called mini-budget shocked the markets with £45 billion in unfunded spending commitments. There’s “only” £32 billion in unfunded commitments in the current budget, but there are a few reasons why the situation today could be much worse than what Britain was facing in 2022. </p><p>Back then, Britain was not yet as heavily invested in the wars in Ukraine and in Israel. In 2022, many people believed that Ukraine would prevail. This is no longer the case today. Also, in the summer of 2022, the interest rates on 10-year gilts were well below 3%. Today they’re over 4.5% and rising. In fact, the sharp rise in interest rates since 2022 itself indicates that the situation could be worse than we know.</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%2Fdf5cc833-b2e5-4cac-a2e5-6f55a891aae1_693x395.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%2Fdf5cc833-b2e5-4cac-a2e5-6f55a891aae1_693x395.png" width="693" height="395" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/df5cc833-b2e5-4cac-a2e5-6f55a891aae1_693x395.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":395,"width":693,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":157806,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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>The most important indication that something was very wrong was the fact that the Bank of England (BOE) felt obliged to open the monetary spigots wide. Recall, on 22 July they hastily <a href="https://www.cmdportal.com/events/the-future-boe-balance-sheet-a-new-system-for-supplying-reserves/">introduced a repo program</a>, announced as a bold “transition towards a new system for supplying reserves” to financial institutions. This move was clear evidence that one or more of British financial institutions were about to collapse. </p><p>By September 5, the program already <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/bank-england-allots-record-40-billion-pounds-weekly-repo-2024-09-05/">ballooned to over £40 billion</a>. We’ll take a small detour to talk about repos here because it’s important to explain what repos are and why BOE’s launching a repo program is significant. If you feel you know enough about repos, feel free to skip to the next heading.</p><h2>The repo red flag</h2><p>Repos or repurchase agreements are an important source of funding for large financial institutions. A repo is a form of borrowing where the borrower sells securities to the lender with an agreement to repurchase them at a slightly higher price. Simply, it’s a form of secured loan. In the first step of the transaction, the lender buys some financial assets from the borrower. </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%2Fd20c1cf6-a2b3-4904-91fd-dac6e2ffcecd_775x439.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%2Fd20c1cf6-a2b3-4904-91fd-dac6e2ffcecd_775x439.png" width="775" height="439" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d20c1cf6-a2b3-4904-91fd-dac6e2ffcecd_775x439.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":439,"width":775,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":24229,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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>The assets also represent the collateral which secures the loan. Normally, the collateral in question would be highly liquid, low-risk securities like government bonds, but they could also be mortgage-backed securities. In the second step, the borrower repurchases the securities at a higher price. The difference between the sale and the repurchase price reflects the interest on the loan that’s due to the lender. The lender might also demand that the loan be overcollateralized: that the value of the collateral exceeds the purchase amount by some percentage.</p><p>Repos are usually very short-term transactions, most often overnight, but they can also be arranged for longer time intervals spanning several days or several weeks. They can also be open ended, with no term specified. As a rule, in repo transactions the lenders are private, non-depositary financial institutions or money market funds. For them, repo transactions are a lucrative source of investment returns as they earn reliable interest income in transactions that are almost risk-free. The borrowers are usually investment banks for whom the repo market is a critically important source of liquidity.</p><p>In the U.S. over a $1 trillion in repo transactions are conducted each day. During financial crises, however, the repo market is one of the first to seize up. If a borrower is unable to repurchase the securities they sold, the lender might remain stuck with the collateral. In a crisis, the value of that collateral could collapse. In such conditions, the lenders might demand higher interest rates and higher rates of recollateralization. They might even be unwilling to engage in repo transactions at all. </p><p>In 2007, the Global Financial Crisis was catalyzed by a run on the repo market: the funding for investment banks became either prohibitively expensive or entirely unavailable. At that time the Fed did not enter the repo markets, but Ben Bernanke injected at least $1.5 trillion of liquidity by purchasing financial assets through other, longer-term facilities.</p><p>In 2019, yet another financial crisis was about to hit the proverbial fan. In August 2019, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, <strong><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/360028ba-c702-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0">James Bullard</a></strong><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/360028ba-c702-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0"> said that</a>, “Something is going on, and that’s causing, I think, a total rethink of central banking and all our cherished notions about what we think we’re doing… We just have to stop thinking that next year things are going to be normal.” Well, as we now know, within a few months we got the New Normal!</p><p>The repo rates in the U.S. have been rising steadily since 2015, but by 2019 that trend began to accelerate quite sharply. On 16 September, repo rates exploded to 8%, fully 6% above the Fed Funds rate.</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%2F6346f6fd-19d5-4130-99e7-445eb5f95f51_713x354.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%2F6346f6fd-19d5-4130-99e7-445eb5f95f51_713x354.png" width="713" height="354" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6346f6fd-19d5-4130-99e7-445eb5f95f51_713x354.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":354,"width":713,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":104461,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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 avert another, much bigger Lehman Brothers moment, the Fed hastily intervened as the lender of last resort, providing tens of billions of dollars in liquidity to the repo markets.

For example, on May 1 this year, Kier Starmer confronted then Prime Minister <strong>Rishi Sunak</strong> about the £46 billion black hole <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3g51qlxezro?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Byahoo.north.america%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&amp;ysclid=m13gebdoal816345505">before correcting himself</a>, first to £64 billion and then to staggering £71 billion! Whatever the case, the “black hole” is there and it is probably much bigger than we know. Of course, by the time Starmer became Prime Minister, the hole had magically shrunk to ‘only’ £22 billion – the sum that’s perhaps small enough that it can be fixed in part by freezing a few thousand pensioners this winter.</p><h2>The system that demands human sacrifice</h2><p>Incidentally: what is this financial system that requires a limitless flow of free money to gorge the gods of finance while at the same time it inflicts savage austerity on the poorest and most vulnerable members of society, condemning many of them literally to death. Whatever the Gods of finance are, they clearly demand human sacrifice. Our liberal democracies fear these gods enough that they are prepared to appease them at an industrial scale.</p><p>To save about £1.4 billion, <strong>Sir Keir Starmer</strong> has decided to cut winter fuel subsidies to 10 million pensioners in Britain. Back in 2017 Tory Prime Minister <strong>Theresa May</strong> floated a similar proposal. At the time, Labour was in opposition and their own research concluded that cutting winter fuel allowances would kill an estimated <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1946329/Labour-pensioners-dead-winter-fuel-thousands">3,850 pensioners that winter</a>. That was five years before "<a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9491/">typical household energy bills increased by 54% in April 2022 and 27% in October that year</a>.</p><p>Britain now has the highest cost of energy in the world and the required human sacrifice could turn out considerably higher than 3,850 pensioners, all to save a relatively insignificant sum of money: a mere £1.4 billion of the supposed £22 billion fiscal black hole.</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%2Fbdd48ba9-dfdc-47bd-93ae-ad0e5918f2d4_472x561.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%2Fbdd48ba9-dfdc-47bd-93ae-ad0e5918f2d4_472x561.png" width="472" height="561" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdd48ba9-dfdc-47bd-93ae-ad0e5918f2d4_472x561.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":561,"width":472,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":145441,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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><h2>What they’re lying about…</h2><p>To be sure, Starmer was almost certainly lying about the size of that black hole. Massive government spending on unproductive, ideologically driven pet projects had created a <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/11/04/pensions-stealth-tax-raid-hit-millions-savers/">£50 billion black hole</a> already in 2022. The cost of Covid counter measures was £9 billion. Government’s Orwellian <a href="https://fullfact.org/online/track-and-trace-project-cost/">track and trace program cost £37 billion</a>. In addition, vast sums are being spent on various <em>net zero</em> schemes. </p><p>Just <a href="https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/uk-contribution-to-international-development-mitigating-the-impact-of-climate-change-on-developing-nations/">in 2022 the government spent £12.79 billion</a> on “mitigating the impact of climate change,” whatever that is. Furthermore, at the beginning of October 2024 they announced <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4301n3771o">they'd allocate another £22 billion for carbon capture projects</a>, building facilities to capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground. To be fair, the said amounts will be spent over a period of 25 years, but still, this is just more and more billions wasted on completely unproductive projects, far into the future. Starmer’s government also added £2.9 billion to Britain’s “defence” budget, a 4.5% increase over previous year’s budget and more than twice as much as they’re saving by freezing the pensioners.</p><h2>The illegal immigration black hole</h2><p>Then there’s immigration: supposedly, the upkeep of illegal <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/16-million-migrants-uk-are-unemployed-costing-taxpayers-ps85-billion-report">migrants costs the government £8.5 billion per year</a>. But the actual cost is almost certainly much, much higher. Back in 2009, we were told that the <a href="https://centurean2.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/12-8-billion-a-year-cost-of-immigration-in-britain-poliliars-incapable-of-telling-the-truth/">cost of immigration was £12.8 billion</a> per year; in 2016 they said <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3593872/17bn-true-cost-immigration-UK-year.html">it was £17 billion</a>, and since then the number of migrants increased by more than 2 million, so the cost of their upkeep would not have halved since 2016. Most likely it would have increased and dramatically so.</p><p>Then there’s the all-consuming Project Ukraine. From February 2022 until now, Britain allegedly spent more than £13 billion in aid to Ukraine. But the real damage from this misadventure cost many times more. Sanctions against Russia have caused extensive damage to Britain’s economy, starting with a sharp increase in prices of energy and other inputs. Farmers reported that the cost of fertilizer has quadrupled, from £250/ton before the sanctions to £1,000/ton today. Many British companies lost business on account of sanctions.</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%2F595922c2-213b-4af9-81df-698ea698c4e3_509x512.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%2F595922c2-213b-4af9-81df-698ea698c4e3_509x512.png" width="509" height="512" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/595922c2-213b-4af9-81df-698ea698c4e3_509x512.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":512,"width":509,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":241470,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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>Just one example was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/aug/08/ba-to-axe-direct-flights-from-london-heathrow-to-beijing">British Airways' cancellation of one of its most important routes</a>: the 4-times weekly direct flight from London Heathrow to Beijing. In a retaliatory measure against British sanctions, Russia closed its airspace to British commercial flights, rendering it uncompetitive and simply surrendering the business to BA’s Chinese competitors. There are probably thousands of similar cases where business relationships that may have taken years and decades to develop have been blown up over the ruling establishment’s geopolitical obsessions.</p><h2>Russia sanctions - the staggering collateral damage</h2><p>It would be difficult to quantify all the effects, but in June 2023, European High Representative for Foreign Affairs <strong><a href="https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/singapore-speech-hrvp-borrell-shangri-la-dialogue_en">Josep Borrell</a></strong><a href="https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/singapore-speech-hrvp-borrell-shangri-la-dialogue_en"> gave us an important clue</a>. Here’s what he said in his remarks to the Shangri La Dialogue forum in Singapore:</p><blockquote><p>“For the first time ever, we have been funding military support to a country under attack. … if you add up all the support – military, civilian, economic, financial and humanitarian – the level of support to Ukraine is about €60 billion for Europe. But let me show another figure which is really impressive: if you include the support that the European governments have had to pay in order to help their families and firms to face the high prices of electricity, of food, the subsidies to our people in order to face the consequences of the war is €700 billion – ten times more than the support for Ukraine. Which shows that the consequences of this war are not reduced to what’s happening in Ukraine but to the shockwaves that the war has been sending all around the world.”</p></blockquote><p>If the shockwaves Borrell was talking about hit Britain as hard as they hit the EU nations, the full cost of Project Ukraine could be £150 billion or even more. Keep in mind, Borrell made his assessment only half way through the Ukraine war. However high the real damage is, all that capital has already been flushed down the drain and will likely never be recovered.</p><p>In all, the situation in Britain is certainly far worse than we know. Over the top, Orwellian actions by the Starmer government and the Bank of England seem to support this view. What we have, in a nutshell, is an overhang of unpayable debts, growing government deficits, hard austerity, increasing militarization, continued foreign adventurism, not only in Russia but also in the Middle East, and an expanding monetary inflation by the Bank of England.</p><h2>The markets verdict</h2><p>Since my August article, I wondered if I wasn’t wrong to single out the UK as the most exposed economy and the one that’ll crash the hardest. I checked the capital markets’ verdict on the situation by comparing the recent performance of British, German and American bonds. Sure enough, so far the markets appear to agree:</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%2F8f3e80a5-dfcd-4d33-ab8e-5241d1d56ad9_1058x520.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%2F8f3e80a5-dfcd-4d33-ab8e-5241d1d56ad9_1058x520.png" width="1058" height="520" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8f3e80a5-dfcd-4d33-ab8e-5241d1d56ad9_1058x520.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":520,"width":1058,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":90932,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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">Major geopolitical turning points seem to have accelerated the “bonds armageddon”</figcaption></figure></div><p>Over the last four years, British government’s debt has performed the worst of three.

Former Fed chairman <strong>Arthur Burns</strong> said that “A subtle understanding of economic change comes from a knowledge of history and large affairs, not from statistics or their processing alone.” Indeed, it was just this understanding of history and large affairs that’s led me to make a prediction about Britain’s descent already three years ago. In <a href="https://isystem-tf.com/2021/10/27/the-fall-of-global-britain-an-investment-hypothesis/">an article I published on 11 October 2021</a> I wrote as follows:</p><blockquote><p>“The UK will likely make all the mistakes made by other powers in that similar position through history: it will suffocate its domestic economic growth by imposing hard austerity at home while at the same time increasing military spending and foreign adventurism. Britain’s public debt will continue to outpace its GDP growth and the government’s budget deficits will be covered by Bank of England’s monetary inflation. This recipe reliably leads to stagflation and possibly to hyperinflation.”</p></blockquote><p>This is exactly what started to unfold over the last three years. For the record, I wrote the above before the war in Ukraine even started, adding tens of billions to the debt overhang. It was before <strong>Boris Johnson</strong> preannounced the war in his cryptic speech on Monday, 15 November of that year (2021). <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-russia-gas-nordstream-2-b1958075.html">Addressing the attending dignitaries</a> at the City of London banquet, then Prime Minister <strong>Johnson</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>issued a warning to the European governments:</p><blockquote><p>“We hope that our friends [in Europe] may recognize that a choice is shortly coming between mainlining ever more Russian hydrocarbons in giant new pipelines and sticking up for Ukraine and championing the cause of peace and stability.”</p></blockquote><p>How Johnson knew that this choice was shortly coming remains a mystery, but the fact that he did know it and that he included that announcement in his remarks was very significant. </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%2F062a8263-6942-4836-8eca-2c4932d1ed33_934x478.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%2F062a8263-6942-4836-8eca-2c4932d1ed33_934x478.png" width="934" height="478" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/062a8263-6942-4836-8eca-2c4932d1ed33_934x478.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":478,"width":934,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":999118,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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">It’s not so much <em>what</em> you know - it’s <em>whom</em> you know.</figcaption></figure></div><p>The statement was a big reveal: it suggested that Britain took the leading role in Project Ukraine and gambled heavily on it.

They are driven by the collective psychology of their human participants and large-scale price events only begin to unfold when a critical mass of them adopt a certain view. This is why large scale price events are unpredictable and the challenge of navigating them profitably is not trivial.

The incumbent President <strong>Zoran Milanović</strong> won the first round in a landslide against the pro-globalist challenger <strong>Dragan Primorac</strong>. Primorac was strongly backed by the ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Union, led by the Prime Minister <strong>Andrej Plenković </strong>who has been a loyal supporter of NATO, US, UK and EU policies.

These currents might continue to gain strength; it’s what our ruling establishments like to label as Russia's malign influence. More likely, the truth is that ordinary people got tired of the lies, hatred, hostility and the wars, as well as the intellectual and cultural junk food that's become the pervasive staple among Western nations. This is a hopeful sign, because escalating the wars could prove difficult for the imperial establishment. What if peace starts to break out all over the place in 2025?

<p>6 years back I posted <a href="https://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/load-css-simpler/">the Simplest Way to Load CSS Asynchronously</a> to document a hack we'd been using for at least 6 years prior to that. The use case for this hack is to load CSS files asynchronously, something that HTML itself still does not support, even though <code>script</code> elements have supported both <code>defer</code> and <code>async</code> attributes for quite some time. The hack takes advantage of browsers' built-in behavior of loading CSS asynchronously whenever a stylesheet is referenced using a media type or query that doesn't match the browsing conditions, which is the opposite of the default stylesheet loading behavior, which is synchronous and render-blocking. Typically, that default blocking behavior is what you want, but when you do want async CSS, there's a way to take advantage of that non-matching media loading behavior: you can give the <code>link</code> element a non-matching <code>media</code> type and an <code>onload</code> handler that sets it back to <code>screen</code> or <code>all</code> when the stylesheet loads.</p>
<p>Like so:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="site.css" media="print" onload="this.media='all'"&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>This works, and it's effective enough that many performance guides from Google and such recommend it. But it has a major downside: that <code>onload</code> handler relies on JavaScript to apply the CSS to the page. It's a hack, and even if it works well, I think it's long past time we get this behavior standardized.</p>
<p>The link element should support an <code>async</code> attribute, like this:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="site.css" async&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Over at the HTML living standard's issue tracker, I've chimed in to say as much and volunteer helping out if I can.</p>

<p><strong>Report International Peace Coalition #84</strong></p>



<p>Jan. 10, 2025 (EIRNS)—Today’s 84th weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) was again a powerful expression of leaders from around the world joining forces to bring peace to a world on the brink of global war. Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, opened by noting the suspense in the air as the world awaits the Jan. 20 inauguration of Donald Trump, with no certainty about what direction his administration will take. The outgoing Biden Administration continues to push for war policies, with Defense Secretary Gen. Lloyd Austin again lying that if Ukraine is lost, the Russians (and other “autocrats”) will make other “land grabs.” The horror in Palestine continues and is expanding to the West Bank, which even the Israeli newspaper Haaretz admits is genocidal and can be called a “pogrom.”</p>



<figure data-sanitized-class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div data-sanitized-class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Are Two Genocides Worse Than One? Featuring Glenn Diesen and Doctors Against Genocide" width="960" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J568tzzMXE4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Zepp-LaRouche named several of the people that Kash Patel (Trump’s pick to be FBI chief) listed in his book as targets for investigation in any effort to clean out the “Deep State.” To stop the wars, she said, we must stop the cause of the wars, which is the disintegration of the Western financial system, and do this in cooperation with the BRICS, to “help make humanity human again.”</p>



<p>Retired Swiss Lt. Col. Ralph Bosshard said that Trump is entering office in a “difficult atmosphere” which is not of his making. He said that the 2003 deal with Iran to stop their nuclear weapons program (which did not exist, as everyone knew) was agreed to by Tehran because they knew that otherwise they would be attacked. Now we have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is committing genocide and threatening war on Iran, being cheered in the U.S. Congress and by the Biden Administration. To prevent a global war with Russia, Russian interests must be addressed. Europe is collapsing in part because Biden used the weakness of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, undermining all of Europe’s energy security. Trump must address the de-dollarization and determine which other policies must be addressed first. Time will be short, for he will soon not be able to blame Biden for the crises. The first few months will tell.</p>



<p>Dr. Glenn Diesen, a political scientist from Denmark, said he was optimistic that Trump will act to resolve the crisis with Russia, but that the “liberal democracy” paradigm has failed. The “international aristocracy” has constructed a “club of democracies,” but such a unipolar policy requires hegemony, which can only be implemented through force. As a result, now the so-called “democracies” are supporting genocide; they have overthrown the Assad government in Syria through force; they are supporting ISIS; and they have overturned the democratic election in Romania. They refuse to acknowledge any security interests other than their own. Multipolarity is not up for question, he said, it is a reality. The unipolar world was based on many wars with weak countries, but were nonetheless a disaster for the West. Imagine what will happen in a war against a superpower. The economies and the people of the West are exhausted, and have given up on diplomacy. Governments are falling left and right. Trump has acknowledged that the expansion of NATO was a mistake, which is at least a step toward peace.</p>



<p>Dr. Mimi Syed of the Doctors Against Genocide spoke as a physician and as a mother, describing the horror she witnessed during her trips to Gaza—“atrocities which should never be witnessed by anyone.” This is counter to the ideas upon which the U.S. was created, she said. She described several such horror situations, including that of an 8-year-old boy in a “safe zone” whose face was blown off by a bomb, who was wearing a t-shirt with “Captain America” on it—an ugly irony. She said America was financing these war crimes, and we must rise together to demand a ceasefire and humanitarian aid for the Palestinians.</p>



<p>Dr. Joycelyn Elders, the former Surgeon General of the U.S., addressed the meeting, praising the Schiller Institute and the IPC, and Helga Zepp-LaRouche in particular, for waging this fight. We are failing to prepare the next generation, she said, by allowing the destruction of children, who need health, education and hope. The horror which we all see is “making us all sick.” She pledged her support in any way she could to stop the genocide. “Everybody can do something,” she stated.</p>



<p>Helga Zepp-LaRouche noted that Dr. Elders had played a critical role during the COVID pandemic in working with her to create the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites, based on the concept of Nicholas of Cusa in the 15th Century—the notion that if humanity is put first, then all apparent opposites can be brought together. She also agreed with Lt. Col. Bosshard on Trump’s shortness of time to act, noting that the U.S. has now lost all credibility worldwide, and has lost the right to address human rights, as a “dying civilization.” The U.S. can and must return to its own best traditions. “Our own humanity is at issue” if we don’t stop the atrocities underway.</p>



<p>Dr. Rodolfo Ondarza, a Mexican neurosurgeon and a former Representative in the Mexico City Legislative Assembly, read an excerpt from a public letter he wrote in support of the Doctors Against Genocide, praising the morality and bravery of Dr. Hassan Abu Safiya and other Palestinian medical workers incarcerated by Israel. He demanded their freedom, and an end to the genocide.</p>



<p>In the discussion period, people addressed the failure of the United Nations, the need for more exposure of the IPC, and the lack of adequate health systems around the world. The ongoing lobbying in the U.S. Congress by the Doctors Against Genocide, with help from Schiller Institute members and retired U.S. military officers, was discussed. Schiller Institute organizer Joe Jennings described the rally he and fellow activists held at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, the largest medical center in the world with fifty thousand health workers, with leaflets and signs to stop the genocide. There was a discussion of the Peace of Westphalia which resolved the religious wars in Europe in 1648 based on respect for the “interests of the other,” and how the Versailles Treaty after WWI, which ignored Germany’s interests, created the conditions for WWII. The end of the Cold War, in which the interests of the Soviet Union were ignored in favor of the expansion of NATO, led to the current extreme danger of global nuclear war.</p>



<p>In closing statements, Lt. Col. Bosshard noted that he had been in Ukraine before the military operations began, and that it was clear that Russia would defend the Russian speaking population. For the Kiev government to declare the use of the Russian language illegal was insane. The belief in Western superiority has only encouraged Western leaders to “bark louder,” he said. The West must learn to respect other cultures.</p>

<p><em>In a discussion with staff and activists of the international LaRouche movement on January 13, Helga Zepp-LaRouche described the “historic opportunity to intervene” as follows:</em></p>



<p>Now, this year, 2025, is without any doubt, the end of the old system, it is the end of the idea of the unipolar world, the end of the neoliberal system trying to impose hegemony over the rest of the world, but it is really the opportunity to implement what Lyn has been advocating for the better part of half of the last century. And while there is still the danger that things could go really wrong, either immediately in the period before Trump gets into the White House, because there are several crisis spots still hot, but also, if we do not eliminate the geopolitical design that there is a legitimate interest of one nation, or groups of nations, against another nation or other groups of nations, that confrontation could come at any point a little bit later on. So we, as a priority, have to proceed in everything we are doing that we have to get a change in the axioms of the West, that they have to stop geopolitical thinking, and that we have to shift the direction of the nations of the collective West into one of cooperation with the countries of the Global South, in the building of a new and more just system.</p>



<p>So, we have to intervene, and we have to do it by recognizing that European nations, and the United States as well, have been suffocated for the last—in the case of Europe it’s been longer, but in the United States for the last 50 years, with axioms which are completely alien to the true identity of our nations. Therefore, we have to really start in earnest a project to identify, first of all, very clearly what are the best traditions of Europe, European nations, and the United States. Because if we don’t do that, there is no basis for the Europeans and the Americans to join with the countries of the Global South…</p>



<p>The situation with Trump coming in, looking at both the potentials and the shortcomings, it seems that Trump is considering, actively, an early meeting with Putin, and even Scholz in an interview yesterday welcomed that, but naturally he made his usual remarks that the sovereignty of Ukraine should be respected. But nevertheless, Peskov declared that Putin is open for such a meeting with other heads of state, including Trump. There are no conditions necessary for it, so I think this will probably go ahead fairly soon.</p>



<p>But with Trump coming in on Jan. 20, that leaves about four weeks to the German election campaign, in which Merz will have to see if the idea they presented in Ramstein, trying to compensate for everything which will be lost by Trump on Ukraine and other issues, if that can be held up. There is a push, very much, that this “war-ready” bullshit is still in the air, but it will create an opening, because the situation is very much in flux. …</p>



<p>I think we have a very dramatic situation, full of suspense; it is full of potential. It doesn’t mean that the dangers have been eliminated, but the vision of where the world could go is absolutely clearly there, but it will require an extraordinary effort of our organization internationally to bring that about, and bring this objective into the discussion. Because that particular idea, especially in terms of reviving the Classical culture, as Lyn always said, a society which does not know principles of Classical composition, has no chance to survive. Lyn was always extremely emphatic on that, and that is something only we can bring in, because I have never heard any of the present crop of politicians speak in any meaningful way about ideas of Classical composition and statecraft, the way we have unearthed that treasure.</p>



<p>So, I think we are in an incredibly optimistic situation, if we do what we have to do.</p>

<p>Last night I had the privilege of being included in a Zoom call with <strong>Steve Bannon</strong>, former investment banker and media executive, host of the "War Room" show and chief political strategist during the first seven months of <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s first term in office. Much of what Bannon presented wasn't surprising, but what seemed significant was that he confirmed that Trump and his team will go on the offensive from day one in office. "The days of thunder begin on Monday," he said, and the world will not be the same again. Bannon wasn't talking about Trump going on the offensive against the Chinese, Iranians or the Russians. Trump and his team are preparing to take on the "they.”</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%2F957051a0-eb8a-48fe-8b01-e103d722d38c_1804x1096.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%2F957051a0-eb8a-48fe-8b01-e103d722d38c_1804x1096.png" width="1456" height="885" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/957051a0-eb8a-48fe-8b01-e103d722d38c_1804x1096.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":885,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":2585538,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" fetchpriority="high" 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>"They," in Bannon's words, are the people who control the world's most powerful empire and, elections or no elections, democracy or no democracy, they will not voluntarily relinquish their privileges and the control over their empire: there will be a fight. In a few recent podcasts, I discussed what this likely implies, simply on the basis of what the nature of this power struggle entails. </p><p>Namely, taking on the imperial cabal is a fight to the death. "They," are vicious, unscrupulous and extremely vindictive. If Trump and his team falter in this struggle, the cabal will not content themselves with merely defeating Trump politically. I believe they would not relent until they entirely destroyed him, his fortune, his collaborators and his family.</p><h2>The price of defying the Empire</h2><p>When the United States declared independence from the British Empire, the signatories of the Declaration of Independence were not just a bunch of belligerent rebels with nothing to lose. In many ways, they were similar to the people flanking Donald Trump today. They were all educated men of means and privileged members of society. </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%2F14b23432-e42a-4788-af31-43f957337b1c_2633x885.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%2F14b23432-e42a-4788-af31-43f957337b1c_2633x885.png" width="1456" height="489" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/14b23432-e42a-4788-af31-43f957337b1c_2633x885.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":489,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":2525270,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" 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">They all defied the Empire and pledged their lives</figcaption></figure></div><p>Of the 56 signatories, twenty four were lawyers and jurists; eleven were wealthy merchants; nine were farmers and large plantation owners. In signing the Declaration of Independence they provoked the wrath of the empire, knowing for sure that if they were captured their penalty would be death. Five of them were in fact captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons and another two had their sons captured and imprisoned.</p><p>Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships in the revolutionary war. <strong>Carter Braxton</strong>, a wealthy planter and trader saw all his ships sunk by the British Navy. To pay his debts he was forced to sell his home and his properties. He died a poor man. To avoid capture, <strong>Thomas McKeam</strong> had to move his family around the country almost constantly. He served in Congress without pay and his family was kept in hiding. Ultimately, his possessions were taken from him and he too, died in poverty. The home and properties of <strong>Francis Lewis</strong> were destroyed and his wife was jailed. She died within a few months.</p><p>The properties of <strong>Ellery</strong>, <strong>Clymer</strong>, <strong>Hall</strong>, <strong>Walton</strong>, <strong>Gwinnett</strong>, <strong>Heyward</strong>, <strong>Ruttledge</strong>, and <strong>Middleton </strong>were vandalized and destroyed by British troops or their proxy terror squads. British <strong>General Cornwallis</strong> took over <strong>Thomas Nelson</strong>'s home for his headquarters. It was destroyed during the battle of Yorktown and Nelson died bankrupt. <strong>John Hart </strong>had to flee his homestead after his fields and gristmill were destroyed. For over a year he hid, living in forests and caves. When he returned home, his wife was dead and their 13 children all vanished. The grief and distress killed him within a few weeks. <strong>Norris </strong>and <strong>Livingston </strong>suffered similar fates.</p><p>When the imperial cabal decided to break up the United States, which precipitated the Civil War, they were confronted by President <strong>Abraham Lincoln</strong>. In 1863, Russian <strong>Czar Alexander II</strong> came to Lincoln's aid by dispatching his Baltic fleet to New York and his Pacific fleet to San Francisco. The move blocked the Empire's intervention on the side of the Confederation, which was planned by the British with the support of France and the Vatican. The U.S. - Russian alliance ultimately prevailed and the United States was preserved. </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%2Ff25cd116-1221-4d1b-84de-df40a59cbabf_1064x817.jpeg" 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%2Ff25cd116-1221-4d1b-84de-df40a59cbabf_1064x817.jpeg" width="1064" height="817" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f25cd116-1221-4d1b-84de-df40a59cbabf_1064x817.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":817,"width":1064,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":635346,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" 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">Alliance between Russia and the USA saved the union from the British Empire.

Abraham Lincoln was killed in 1865, shortly after the end of the Civil War, and Alexander II was assassinated in St. Petersburg in 1881. In 1917 the whole family of the <strong>Czar Nicholas II</strong> was killed by the Bolsheviks on the orders of the New York banker <strong>Jacob Schiff</strong>. Arguably, the low life expectancy among the <strong>Kennedy </strong>family men is also likely due to their propensity to irritate the imperial cabal.</p><p>I do believe that Donald Trump and at least some of the people around him are probably well aware of all this and understand the stakes in the struggle they took on. During our call last night <strong>Steve Bannon</strong> confirmed that this is indeed the case. The nature of this conflict dictates that "they" can't be left standing and whoever comes into the White House after four years of Trump will be tasked with continuing the struggle until the imperial cabal is entirely uprooted and disenfranchised. </p><p data-attrs='{"url":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/next-week-start-the-days-of-thunder?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share","text":"Share","action":null,"class":null}' data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton" data-sanitized-class="button-wrapper"><a href="https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/next-week-start-the-days-of-thunder?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share" data-sanitized-class="button primary"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>The clash is global and it’s between two systems of governance</h2><p>Just like in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere, what we'll witness is another front in the struggle between two systems of governance. In that sense, the geopolitical conflicts around the world will likely be subordinated to the civil war shaping up in the United States, which could prove the central battle in the whole conflict. That civil war might not resemble the civil wars of the past with large armies fighting one another in fields and insurrections in cities. Instead, we'll likely see chaos, sabotage, assassinations and terrorism in the U.S. - but also in Europe and the U.K. </p><p>One of the participants in yesterday's call was also <strong>Christine Anderson</strong>, member of the German AfD party and the European Parliament. She reported that the authorities in Germany, as in France, UK and other European nations, are "berserk," and that the Trump election has pushed them over the edge of overt authoritarianism which they no longer even bother to conceal. </p><p>As a result, there's open talk about cancelling the upcoming 23 February elections in Germany, and more aggressive censorship of social media. <strong>Elon Musk</strong>'s recent interview of AfD leader <strong>Alice Weidel</strong> only added to the hysteria and now German authorities want to prosecute Musk as they construed his interview of Weidel as an illegal campaign donation.</p><p>Participants from the UK reported perhaps the most distressing news, agreeing that the situation in the nation is simply awful, that they do not even recognize their country. One doctor said that he sees that people are increasingly giving up and many are "losing the will to live." One concrete piece of news, which was confirmed to be true, is that for some months now, elected politicians no longer appoint judges in Britain. I did not understand who does appoint them as our call ran overtime before I had the chance to ask, but I'm sure it's probably some really nice people.</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%2Ff68e9aba-41f4-4be8-afca-6ed325d0c702_1200x525.jpeg" 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%2Ff68e9aba-41f4-4be8-afca-6ed325d0c702_1200x525.jpeg" width="1200" height="525" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f68e9aba-41f4-4be8-afca-6ed325d0c702_1200x525.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":525,"width":1200,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"Picture background","title":"Picture background","type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="Picture background" title="Picture background" 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>Another distressing development in the UK is the upcoming <a href="https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3707">Climate and Nature Bill</a> which, if passed, will legally enshrine Britain's commitment to net zero policies, which could prove devastating to its economy including the energy market, farming and industrial output.

Bannon said that Trump is a "blunt force instrument," and that the cabal sustained a "blunt force trauma." Hundreds, perhaps thousands of their minions, including <strong>Dr. Anthony Fauci</strong>, are jockeying to obtain pardons from the Biden team, even on a pre-emptive basis.

{"enclosures":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/v/MBPPb1lcxPM?version=3","title":"The Old System is Dying - An Historic Opportunity for Humanity","description":"Live Dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, January 15, 11am EDT/5pm CET. Send your questions to questions@schillerinstitute.org\n\nIn a discussion with staff and activists of the international LaRouche movement on January 13, Helga Zepp-LaRouche described the &quot;historic opportunity to intervene” as follows:\n\nNow, this year, 2025, is without any doubt, the end of the old system, it is the end of the idea of the unipolar world, the end of the neoliberal system trying to impose hegemony over the rest of the world, but it is really the opportunity to implement what Lyn has been advocating for the better part of half of the last century. And while there is still the danger that things could go really wrong, either immediately in the period before Trump gets into the White House, because there are several crisis spots still hot, but also, if we do not eliminate the geopolitical design that there is a legitimate interest of one nation, or groups of nations, against another nation or other groups of nations, that confrontation could come at any point a little bit later on. So we, as a priority, have to proceed in everything we are doing that we have to get a change in the axioms of the West, that they have to stop geopolitical thinking, and that we have to shift the direction of the nations of the collective West into one of cooperation with the countries of the Global South, in the building of a new and more just system.\n\nSo, we have to intervene, and we have to do it by recognizing that European nations, and the United States as well, have been suffocated for the last—in the case of Europe it’s been longer, but in the United States for the last 50 years, with axioms which are completely alien to the true identity of our nations. Therefore, we have to really start in earnest a project to identify, first of all, very clearly what are the best traditions of Europe, European nations, and the United States. Because if we don’t do that, there is no basis for the Europeans and the Americans to join with the countries of the Global South…\n\nThe situation with Trump coming in, looking at both the potentials and the shortcomings, it seems that Trump is considering, actively, an early meeting with Putin, and even Scholz in an interview yesterday welcomed that, but naturally he made his usual remarks that the sovereignty of Ukraine should be respected. But nevertheless, Peskov declared that Putin is open for such a meeting with other heads of state, including Trump. There are no conditions necessary for it, so I think this will probably go ahead fairly soon.\n\nBut with Trump coming in on Jan. 20, that leaves about four weeks to the German election campaign, in which Merz will have to see if the idea they presented in Ramstein, trying to compensate for everything which will be lost by Trump on Ukraine and other issues, if that can be held up. There is a push, very much, that this “war-ready” bullshit is still in the air, but it will create an opening, because the situation is very much in flux. … \n\nI think we have a very dramatic situation, full of suspense; it is full of potential. It doesn’t mean that the dangers have been eliminated, but the vision of where the world could go is absolutely clearly there, but it will require an extraordinary effort of our organization internationally to bring that about, and bring this objective into the discussion. Because that particular idea, especially in terms of reviving the Classical culture, as Lyn always said, a society which does not know principles of Classical composition, has no chance to survive. Lyn was always extremely emphatic on that, and that is something only we can bring in, because I have never heard any of the present crop of politicians speak in any meaningful way about ideas of Classical composition and statecraft, the way we have unearthed that treasure.\n\nSo, I think we are in an incredibly optimistic situation, if we do what we have to do.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/MBPPb1lcxPM/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

Ceasefire Reached in Gaza — w/ Scott Ritter, Larry Wilkerson, Helga Zepp-LaRouche &amp; Prof. Bresheeth

{"enclosures":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/v/sZP0sNrTnX0?version=3","title":"Ceasefire Reached in Gaza — w/ Scott Ritter, Larry Wilkerson, Helga Zepp-LaRouche &amp; Prof. Bresheeth","description":"This Friday’s meeting of the International Peace Coalition will be taking up this subject and lay out the perspective for what the next steps must be. The meeting will be joined by Col. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson, Prof. Haim Bresheeth, founder of the Jewish Network for Palestine, Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector, and Prof. Steve Starr, professor University of Missouri, former director of the MU Clinical Laboratory Science.\n\nJan. 15, 2025 (EIRNS)—On Wednesday Jan. 15, news broke that negotiators in Qatar had reached an agreement for a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. After 15 months of brutality, a sliver of hope has emerged that the senseless killing of Palestinians can stop and a different future for the region could begin. However, while hopeful, this development only represents a window through which to address the deeper issue, of which the genocide in Gaza has been only a reflection, and there are many obstacles still in the way.\n\nPresident Biden was of course quick to take credit for the accomplishment, and claimed that it was a direct result of his May 2024 plan diplomacy since October 2023. But in the real world, it was clear that the deal had been secured only with the help of Donald Trump, a fact which even the State Department admitted, when the spokesman said that Trump’s team was “absolutely critical” in completing it. History will know that it was actually Joe Biden and “Bloody Blinken,” along with Netanyahu and his extremist allies, who prevented that from happening much sooner.\n\nJoe Biden is in fact a perfect exemplar of the worst type of Washington’s permanent bureaucracy that emerged in the post-1971 Wall Street-City of London order, a bureaucracy that’s willing to impose endless wars, public austerity, and even fascism in order to preserve their system of continued rule. Without anything but ambition, these types merely follow, like lemmings, the orders and recommendations given to them by the “experts”—the same people whose “expertise” got the world into countless wars in Southwest Asia and beyond, as well as a threatened global conflict among superpowers today.\n\nUnderstanding what this system is, and how it has affected Western civilization, is key to ensuring not only that this ceasefire becomes a lasting peace far into the future, but also that such a thing never happens in the world again. After all, if you think that human beings are essentially animals, and are strictly governed by their own self-interests, then you’ll fall right into the trap set for you by British imperial geopoliticians. “Common interests of mankind is a utopia!” they argue, “We must use enough ‘force as will create confidence and energy on the one side and inspire respect and caution on the other.’” The latter statement was made on Jan. 9 by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who quoted Ernest Bevin, the U.K.’s post-war Foreign Secretary and a key author of the Cold War. The West “must relearn the Cold War manual,” Lammy added, in an overt attempt to appeal to Trump and assert a leadership role for the U.K. again.\n\nTrump meanwhile is making important nods toward resolving the crisis in Ukraine and reestablishing a relationship with Russia. His comment last week, in which he placed the blame on NATO for expanding up to Russia’s doorstep was noted by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who pointed out that this “marks the first occasion an American, and indeed any Western leader has openly acknowledged that NATO was disingenuous when it signed numerous accords with our country.” However, whether this is merely a tactic, or whether Trump will actually acknowledge the rights of Russia and engage in “meaningful discussions” remains an open question, Lavrov added.\n\nIn the fight to transform this paradigm, don’t wait for the holdovers from the “rules-based order” to change their ways anytime soon. And don’t count on Trump either, though his contribution to the ceasefire in Gaza is certainly welcome. Instead, become an active force for change yourself. In her weekly webcast, Helga Zepp-LaRouche took up the question of geopolitics, which has played the dominant role in the atrocities that have unfolded in Palestine and Lebanon, as well as in Ukraine:\n\n“The idea that the geopolitical outlook, which has the seed of world wars in it—geopolitics was the reason why we had two world wars in the 20th century—I think this is definitely something that needs to be overcome, and it must be superseded by the idea that there is a larger interest that unites us as the One Humanity. I think this is an existential question, because if we cannot overcome it, the likelihood that we will blow ourselves up and destroy everything on this planet—unfortunately we have never been closer to that—but on the other side if enough people realize that this danger exists, maybe we can mobilize the moral fiber to overcome it.”","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/sZP0sNrTnX0/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

International Peace Coalition: Gaza Ceasefire: a Durable Peace Requires Economic Development and the Beauty of All Cultures

content:
<p>Jan. 17, 2025 (EIRNS)—Opening today’s 85th consecutive weekly session of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder, expressed guarded optimism about the Gaza ceasefire agreement, noting that the deal had already been agreed to last May. However, it took pressure from President-elect Donald Trump’s team to implement it; the Biden administration bears responsibility for the carnage that took place in the interim. Trump’s intervention shows a certain resolve, but a real settlement of the crisis requires the recognition of a Palestinian state, the comprehensive reconstruction of the destroyed areas, and the full implementation of Lyndon LaRouche’s proposed <strong><a href="https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2024/04/29/video-why-larouches-oasis-plan-can-bring-peace-to-southwest-asia/" data-type="link" data-id="https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2024/04/29/video-why-larouches-oasis-plan-can-bring-peace-to-southwest-asia/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oasis Plan</a></strong> for the region.</p>

<p>Ukraine Plus</p>



<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump could speak soon, but the British will try to disrupt it a Ukraine settlement, as we see with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s sudden visit to Ukraine. Starmer’s proposal for a “100-year partnership” with Ukraine is reminiscent of Hitler’s dream of a “Thousand-Year Reich,” which “didn’t go so well, as we all know.”</p>



<p>What will Trump formulate as the strategic posture of the United States? Will we see a continuation of the plan for a $1.2 trillion modernization of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, after major setbacks in arms control negotiations? Geopolitics is a relic of the past that caused two world wars. Zepp-LaRouche emphasized that only by overcoming poverty, can we address the root cause of the migrant crisis, and solve such crises in a human way.</p>



<p>Col. (ret.) Larry Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to the U.S. Secretary of State, followed saying, “The empire—and I will refer to the United States of America as an empire—has gone badly astray.” He warned that the American empire is confronting a dangerous and chaotic situation of its own making. We have placed two billion people under our “very draconian sanctions.” Col. Wilkerson described how he and his fellow IPC collaborator, retired Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant Dennis Fritz, witnessed 20 to 30 Capitol Police officers in one of the Senate office buildings threatening to arrest members of Doctors Against Genocide, who were peacefully lobbying to stop the genocide in Gaza.</p>



<p>Of the announced ceasefire, he predicted that the Israelis would continue to brutally settle Gaza the way they have the West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces has significant problems: soldiers are not showing up for duty, and many veterans are seeking treatment for psychological trauma.</p>



<p>Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector, called the ceasefire a “holding action” while the Israelis regroup. Israel set out to eradicate Hamas, and failed. In this sense, the ceasefire is a defeat for Israel. But it is not a win for the Palestinian people, if a Palestinian state is not achieved. Whether you love or hate Donald Trump, he changed the dynamic. Israel had hoped that “Adelson’s widow’s $100 million investment in Donald Trump would pay dividends.” We don’t know what will happen after Jan. 20, he said, but “Netanyahu’s government is fatally injured.” When the hostages are released, the true scope of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s crimes will be exposed, causing his government to fall. Saudi Arabia will not normalize relations until there is a Palestinian state. Netanyahu and Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir will pay a “fatal political cost” for the lies they told the Israeli people.</p>



<p>Zepp-LaRouche, responding on the topic of the ceasefire, said, “I can only share your concern,” adding that we should not rest on our laurels, and we must go with the Oasis Plan. Instead of building a ski resort in the desert, the Saudis should spend the money on water projects.</p>



<p>Steve Starr, former director of the University of Missouri Clinical Laboratory Science Program, offered a provocative comparison of the recent firestorms in Los Angeles with firestorms created when nuclear weapons are detonated. The key difference between a “line fire,” such as the Los Angeles fires, and a “mass fire” from a nuclear blast, is that there is no escape from the latter, which is accompanied by 400 mile per hour winds.</p>



<p>Prof. Haim Bresheeth, founder of the Jewish Network for Palestine, responded to Starr by saying that it was difficult to follow that sobering discussion of nuclear war, but we must remember that this is what Israel is planning for Iran. “We should be very wary about personalizing politics,” he said, because behind people like Netanyahu and Trump, there are states. Netanyahu’s departure will not make a radical change in Israel, which has its own “Deep State”: Zionism, which has inscribed on the body of Palestine a “terrifying narrative.”</p>



<p>The people who will replace Netanyahu are not better than him. “Zionism has produced a population in Israel which supported the war in Gaza by 97%,” Prof. Bresheeth said. The genocide did not start on October 8, 2023, but rather, when the UN partitioned Palestine on November 29, 1947. The Zionists started the war the following day. In 80 years, more than a quarter-million people have been killed. The first person to call this a genocide was Raz Segal, who, on Oct. 13, 2023, wrote an <strong><a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide" data-type="link" data-id="https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">article</a></strong> for Jewish Currents titled “A Textbook Case of Genocide.” Hundreds of other Israelis have agreed, which gives Prof. Bresheeth hope for Israel.</p>



<p>Israel bombed Lebanon immediately after signing the ceasefire agreement, which is typically what they do. A ceasefire “is just a delay in the genocide.” We have to work “as if there is international law.” Not just eight Israelis, but hundreds of people in other nations who supported them should be in the dock for genocide. Secretary of State Antony Blinken should be there.</p>



<p>Discussion</p>



<p>The discussion period began with three organizing reports. IPC co-moderator Dennis Speed presented the <strong><a href="https://laroucheorganization.com/article/2025/01/14/liars-bureau" data-type="link" data-id="https://laroucheorganization.com/article/2025/01/14/liars-bureau" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">special report</a></strong> just released by The LaRouche Organization on the efforts by Deep State operatives to block the confirmation of Trump appointees Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel. It is titled “The Liars’ Bureau.”</p>



<p>Jack Gilroy gave an activism report from Veterans For Peace and <strong><a href="https://merchantsofdeath.org/" data-type="link" data-id="https://merchantsofdeath.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Merchants of Death</a></strong>, and former (and future) congressional candidate Jose Vega reported on his organizing activities. He was present, along with Col. Wilkerson and Dennis Fritz, to support the Doctors Against Genocide lobbying action in Washington, D.C.</p>



<p>Helga Zepp-LaRouche responded to a number of questions and comments. To a question about the coincidence of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the Trump inauguration, she said that it is something we should use, to steer Trump toward an ethical path. She said that “today, we are still on the road to dictatorship,” giving as an example the fact that in Germany it is forbidden to call what Israel is doing to Gaza a genocide. Everybody in the Global South can see that the West’s talk of “democracy” and “human rights” is a charade, and has become an object of ridicule. She mentioned a recent <strong><a href="https://www.nzz.ch/schweiz/ueli-maurer-sieht-deutschland-auf-dem-weg-in-eine-diktatur-und-viola-amherd-soll-abtreten-die-svp-startet-ueberdreht-ins-neue-jahr-ld.1865818" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nzz.ch/schweiz/ueli-maurer-sieht-deutschland-auf-dem-weg-in-eine-diktatur-und-viola-amherd-soll-abtreten-die-svp-startet-ueberdreht-ins-neue-jahr-ld.1865818" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">article</a></strong> in the Swiss newspaper Neue Züricher Zeitung, in which former Swiss President Ueli Maurer refers to the “Stasi 2.0” in Germany. Zepp-LaRouche observed that Tulsi Gabbard has abandoned her opposition to section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which has evolved to the point that anyone talking to foreigners can become a target of surveillance.</p>



<p>She concluded by saying that we are in the middle of change that is as significant as Europe’s transition from the Middle Ages to the Golden Renaissance. Having a better culture will determine how we act. </p>

discovery of a shaft down to the water of the virgin’s fount threw considerable light upon the object of the rock-cut canals about Jerusalem, as proving then as, had been conjectured by some, to have been for conducting away the refuse and blood from the temple.”</em></p></blockquote><p>Moreover, Warren wrote of his belief that the two small caverns under the sacrificial rock and the network of tunnels extending from the lowest cavern were designed to infuse the grounds of Jerusalem with the magical blood of her children in some creepy pact with dark spirit forces.</p><div

Sol meaning Sun, Amon meaning Moon. After his death Jedidiah was referred to as the man who built the Sol and Amon Temple, which became corrupted over time to Sol-amon and then to Solomon.”</em></p></blockquote><p>Not only was Sir Charles Warren obsessed with reviving the practices of human sacrifice so closely associated with the ancient pagan mystery religions, but he was also a leading champion of creating a new movement designed solely to convince the jews of Russia and Europe to go live in the desert. His role as leader of the Palestinian Exploration Fund that shaped modern zionism, as well as his role as leading Grand Master of the Quatuor Coronati lodge, which set the stage for reviving Solomon’s Temple cannot be ignored.</p><p>Additionally, Sir Warren’s role as Chief of London’s Metropolitan Police during the Whitechapel Murders of 1888… which involved a serious anti-Jewish propaganda campaign designed to terrorize the Jews of England sufficiently enough to get them to leave Europe for the desert is also closely connected to this operation.</p><p>For their effectiveness at imposing a zero-tolerance approach to the practice of occult human sacrifice and paganism—as seen throughout the books of the Old Testament—in favor of a monotheistic notion of one singular Creator who demands the defense of moral values, and civil conduct - neither the Jews nor the later followers of Jesus (whose death on the Cross made the rejection of ‘sacred sacrifices’ even more explicit), were ever forgiven by the sorcerers of the mystery cults.</p><p>In the next installment of ‘Real Patriots Don’t Think Like Hitler’, I will introduce a nest of pro-Nazi occultists in the USA operating under the influence of George Sylvester Viereck, and Aleister Crowley.</p><div><hr></div><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>.

There's actually a proposal for an entity to clear U.S. treasury futures at the London clearing house which is overseen by the Bank of England. Some argue that the Bank of England would have control over ... a default scenario in this critical market instead of the U.S. Is this of concern to you?” <a href="https://x.com/WayneTechSPFX/status/1879934087064088636">Scott Bessent replied</a>:</p><blockquote><p>You raise a very important question and one that I will investigate further. I was unaware, until the past few days, of this with the new exchange. What I can tell you, as a student and professor of economic history, is that it is important for the U.S. - for the U.S. Treasuries, for us to be able to resolve any stress issues in the markets in the U.S. We saw during the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, that much of the, many of the problems emanated from the U.K. subsidiary, so this is something that ... my inclination is that the resolution authority must lie here in the U.S., but I will get back to you in writing with an answer on this, if confirmed.</p></blockquote><p>Before declaring his "inclination," Bessent thanked Senator Cornyn for bringing the matter to his attention, and during their exchange, Cornyn made it clear that the two have visited together at his office and discussed the issues. The first, obvious question is, why should American treasuries be cleared in London, through a clearing house under Bank of England's control? Who wanted this to happen, and where did such a proposal originate from? Why is there no public debate about such a major development? Why are the media ignoring it?</p><h2>Why should the Bank of England control U.S. debt?</h2><p>Moving the market for U.S. Treasuries - the world's largest market - to London is a huge deal with important consequences that should have to be explored, disclosed publicly, and clearly understood by the American people. Yet, even a learned professor of economic history wasn't even aware of this? I did find it interesting that it was a sitting U.S. Senator who brought the issue to Bessent's attention. What could possibly be the attraction of clearing US Treasury futures through London? For the U.S., nothing: this is yet another story exposing the hidden hand of London manipulating the internal and foreign policies of the United States.</p><h2>The Great Red Dragon</h2><p>In his book, "The Great Red Dragon," (<strong><a href="https://www.alor.org/Storage/Library/PDF/Moolfolk%20LB%20-%20great_red_dragon.pdf">PDF</a></strong>) American author <strong>L. B. Moolfolk </strong>explained how, in the second half of the 19th century, many U.S. farmers were ruined after the establishment of centralized clearing houses ("boards of trade") which were under control of British financiers or their agents. The clearing houses were able to manipulate the prices of crops and depress them to drive farmers out of business and thereby acquire large swathes of fertile agricultural land at fire-sale prices.</p><p>Scott Bessent's mention of Lehman Brothers reminded me of another kind of manipulation described by Moolfolk. I condensed Moolfolk's prose in this newsletter last May (I later posted it on Substack - it is at <strong><a href="https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/downfall-the-empires-destiny?utm_source=publication-search">this link</a></strong>):</p><blockquote><p>In broad strokes, [The Great Red Dragon] documents the takeover of the American economy by British banking interests. Their methods entailed periodically flooding the economy with credit and generating a boom. Then, when the bankers' nets were full and everyone was in debt, the bankers would abruptly withdraw credit. The practice was simply predatory. The triggering event usually involved a high-profile bank failure, which would cause an economy-wide avalanche of bankruptcies. Large, politically connected banks would then take over choice businesses, farmland and real estate for pennies on the dollar. Within our lifetimes, the Lehman Brothers’ failure in 2008 would have been a typical example of this, but Covid pandemic response in 2020 served the same predatory purpose.During the 19th century, US economy endured three major financial crashes: in 1837, 1857, and in 1873. Each crash triggered major economic depressions with mass-scale culling of smaller banks and other businesses. The collapse enabled the ruling oligarchy to consolidate monopolies over all the key industries.</p></blockquote><p>Relinquishing control over the U.S. Treasuries market to the Bank of England could enable similar manipulations. Incidentally, I do find it curious that the city of London features so many dragon sculptures:</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%2Ffd22cd6c-ade4-4cc8-8d9d-50fd207f90b2_1900x1900.jpeg" 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%2Ffd22cd6c-ade4-4cc8-8d9d-50fd207f90b2_1900x1900.jpeg" width="1456" height="1456" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fd22cd6c-ade4-4cc8-8d9d-50fd207f90b2_1900x1900.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":1456,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1016755,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" 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">Hmm… OK, so someone in London is into dragons.</figcaption></figure></div><h2>World system of financial control in private hands</h2><p>In "Tragedy and Hope," <strong>Carroll Quigley</strong> warned us that, "The powers of financial capitalism had [a] far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. … The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and direct injury of all other economic groups.”</p><p>Quigley wrote those words in 1965, suggesting that the conspiracy was discernible many decades ago. Some 18 years later (1983), <strong>Lord Jacob Rothschild</strong> suggested that, "Two broad types of giant institutions, the worldwide financial service company and the international commercial bank with a global trading competence, may converge to form the ultimate, all-powerful, many-headed financial conglomerate."</p><h2>Soft disclosure foreshadows the coming battle</h2><p>The exchange between Senator Cornyn and Mr. Bessent seems to be a part of the 'soft disclosure' of the secretive arrangements and relationships involving Great Britain, which have influenced global events during the past decades. We've seen <strong>Elon Musk</strong> attack the British government in a series of searing posts on X. Donald Trump did not invite Britain's Prime Minister to his inauguration, but he did invite the Russian and Chinese presidents.</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%2Fd2845feb-9f9a-4c54-a935-93af63a44eda_1167x696.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%2Fd2845feb-9f9a-4c54-a935-93af63a44eda_1167x696.png" width="1167" height="696" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d2845feb-9f9a-4c54-a935-93af63a44eda_1167x696.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":696,"width":1167,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":616734,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"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">These aren’t even the worst of Mr. Musk’s tweets!</figcaption></figure></div><p>Earlier this week, former British MP <strong>Andrew Bridgen</strong> gave an interview in which he disclosed some shocking information about the sickening depravity and the utter moral bankruptcy of Britain's political class - at the very least a significant part of it. The relevant 2-minute segment of that interview is at <a href="https://x.com/triffic_stuff_/status/1879070683847639114">this link</a>.</p><p>More than a century ago <strong>Lord Acton</strong> prophesied that, “the issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the bankers.” It may be that this fight is now upon us.

The signals coming out of the Trump team through these 'soft disclosure' communiques may be foreshadowing what is to come. Apparently Trump has over 100 executive orders already written and he'll be signing them on his first day in office.</p><p data-attrs='{"url":"https://trendcompass.substack.com/p/its-now-people-vs-the-banks?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMTM2NTc0NCwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTU1MDAxMzc5LCJpYXQiOjE3MzcyOTAwODEsImV4cCI6MTczOTg4MjA4MSwiaXNzIjoicHViLTMxNTA5NjgiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.PA4WnJc_PNLEM5Jlp8JUtS0xJtSy-7hcT68MEuz-ohI","text":"Share","action":null,"class":"button-wrapper"}' data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton" data-sanitized-class="button-wrapper"><a href="https://trendcompass.substack.com/p/its-now-people-vs-the-banks?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMTM2NTc0NCwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTU1MDAxMzc5LCJpYXQiOjE3MzcyOTAwODEsImV4cCI6MTczOTg4MjA4MSwiaXNzIjoicHViLTMxNTA5NjgiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.PA4WnJc_PNLEM5Jlp8JUtS0xJtSy-7hcT68MEuz-ohI" data-sanitized-class="button primary button-wrapper"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>Is the UK about to lose its colonies in Africa?</h2><p>These events are relevant to investors since they'll impact world geopolitics, the "special relationship" between the United States and Britain, as well as Britain's debt, currency and its stock market. Something fascinating that I recently learned is that Britain is still heavily reliant on its former colonies for its GDP and public revenues.</p><p>Namely, according to a 2016 report, "<strong><a href="https://waronwant.org/resources/new-colonialism-britains-scramble-africas-energy-and-mineral-resources">New Colonialism: Britain's Scramble for African Energy and Mineral Resources</a></strong>," 101 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, most of them British, have mining operations in 37 sub-Saharan African countries. They collectively control over $1 trillion worth of Africa's most valuable resources. The UK government has used its power and influence to ensure that British mining companies have access to Africa's raw materials. This was the case during the colonial period and is still the case today. The decolonization movement that has now largely deprived France of its African dependencies could do the same to Britain.</p><h2>Will FTSE rally, or will it tank?</h2><p>The reason I bring this up is because in the past I predicted that Britain's gathering financial and economic crisis will cause a strong rally in the British stock markets. But if Britain loses control over resource rich areas of Africa (and the Middle East), then its stock market could collapse. Either way, I believe the most reliable way to trade these events is through trend following, which is why I included the GBP, FTSE and gilts in our <strong><a href="https://trendcompass.substack.com/">daily TrendCompass Key Markets report</a></strong>: if the coming trends are bullish, we'll be long; if they’re bearish, we'll be short. The market itself will tell us.</p><p>I originally published the above article in the above linked TrendCompass report. A few hours later I sat down for a chat with <span data-attrs='{"name":"CryptoRich","id":80529706,"type":"user","url":null,"photo_url":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/41401c34-92cf-4806-9aa7-bf1147e63410_1024x1024.png","uuid":"2b5e378a-a591-4ae8-bac9-bb5fa7f7e3d2"}' data-component-name="MentionToDOM" data-sanitized-class="mention-wrap"></span> and Tom Luongo.

The programme is also podcast at globalresearch.ca</p><h3><strong>Transcript of the show (January 15, 2025)</strong></h3><p><strong>Global Research: </strong>So, as I understand the narrative, despite disappointing results from recent by-elections in which the Liberals were defeated in all the ridings and low polling results as a permanent fixture for more than a year, Chrystia Freeland popped up. She accelerated the collapse of Trudeau after being informed in a Zoom call, apparently, that she would be replaced by Mark Carney, the banker guy turned eco-warrior we discussed last time we spoke, as finance minister.</p><p>Then she wrote this really explosive letter criticizing him for, I guess, political antics and such. After that, he appeared mute over the entire Christmas break. Then finally, on January 6, he emerged to say he was stepping down.</p><p>Would you care to comment on Trudeau’s resignation and on Chrystia ultimately being the key person to trigger his dismissal?</p><p><strong>Matthew Ehret:</strong> Yeah. I mean, I’ve come in the course of my research, as you know, to look upon Canada and the policies that tend to take up various players in Ottawa. I see it in a relatively controlled way and as a bit of a theater, unfortunately.</p><p>Some might call that cynical, but I think that’s just part of life under a privy council-managed deep state system that’s around for over a century. I’ve always seen Justin as somebody who has played a role. That role, for those who have been his handlers, has been to advance a certain agenda that would move Canada ever more towards the type of outcome that we know the Davos crowd of the World Economic Forum and the broader Bilderberg Group has in mind for the entire world, which is the transformation of once industrial sovereign nation-states into satrapies or a supranational enforcement tool, a world government of sorts, with a certain type of ideology shaping that post-nation-state era.</p><p>And so Justin’s role, he was marketed. He was a bit of a prince-ling. His father is a bit of a mythical figure, a mythical figure in the Canadian psyche.</p><p>Pierre Elliott Trudeau has been sold to Canadians as an Abraham Lincoln-style character who saved Canada through times of crisis and stood up against big bad American imperialists when it mattered to protect Canada’s interests. There’s this whole mythology that’s been repeated and baked into a big part of the zeitgeist of especially baby boomer Canadians that made Justin a valuable asset. But when you listen to Justin speak, from his earliest days entering politics in 2000, I guess it was 12, that he was brought in as an MP before being, and he was always set up to become prime minister, he could never really compose thoughts outside of a teleprompter and outside of the comfort of his handlers.</p><p>And whenever he was put in those few occasions outside of the situation, it was a disaster.</p><p><strong>GR: </strong>That reminds me, just sorry to interrupt, but every time he’s been faced with something like that, he just goes silent. It happened during the Freedom Convoy when they came to Ottawa.</p><p>He said, oh, I have COVID or something, I can’t talk to anybody. And then it’s happened again after the collapse of the move of Chrystia Freeland. Yeah, you were saying.</p><p><strong>ME: </strong>Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, exactly. He just runs away, finds an excuse to not be present if there’s going to be somebody who will actually challenge him in a way, which it’s understood that that will be a humiliating thing.</p><p>So he’s he’s served a role as, like I said, a marketing tool and nothing really more than that. So the idea was to always simply use him till he had nothing left to squeeze out of him. And I think that point has come and gone.</p><p>And his usefulness is now pretty much it’s over. The scandals built up. He’s embarrassed himself in India, destroyed relations with India.</p><p>The blackface thing, he tried to ignore it. It still kept coming back. His settlement with the family of the underage girl who he had sexual relations with as a high school teacher kept on coming back to haunt him.</p><p>And just his general detachment from the concerns of your average Canadian worker, it’s just too much. And so they’re flushing him now. And so I think Chrystia being a Rhodes Scholar of a, you know, somebody who is part of a slightly upper level management class within the technocracy shaping Canada, was told that now is the time to make a maneuver that would be a signal to to shift gears as far as initiate initiating a new vote for a replacement to Justin, which which is now what’s what’s happening.</p><p><strong>GR:</strong> Well, let’s talk to people about the rise of Trudeau. You wrote that the plans to appoint him or however you describe it started in 2006. Who exactly were the key players orchestrating the decision to sculpt him into a new prime minister and why?</p><p><strong>ME: </strong>Well, for that, one needs to go back down to the organization, a think tank that was created called Canada 2020.</p><p>It still exists. They bring in people like Barack Obama and other liberal behaviorists into Canada to lecture. And this was created in 2006 or actually I think it was a first created in 2003, but it only started really hosting conferences and becoming a more politically present force in Canadian politics in 2006.</p><p>And some of the co-founders of it included people like John Manley, Bob Rae, Anne McClellan, Bill Graham and Tom Axworthy were also co-founding members of this thing. In fact, also, I would say Diane Carney, Mark Carney’s wife, even before Mark Carney became governor of the Bank of Canada, she was one of the leading president of research at the Canada 2020 think tank. So, these are all indications that the Carney’s both have been vetted by very high up forces to play a role in determining certain outcomes within the Canadian system.</p><p>And it was at their first conference, their big conference in Mont Blanc in 2006, that Justin Trudeau was first circulated, measured up if he could be made to have what it takes to be a puppet cutout. And he was a bit of a disaster. He walked in, they say with sandals, kind of like walking in the shadow of his father, trying to always be the extroverted, big, cool oddball was sort of his attempt to always do what his dad was able to do with much more class, what Justin always tried to sort of do in a more lame, awkward way.</p><p><strong>GR:</strong> He was an acting teacher or something like that, whereas his father, I mean, to give him credit, he was a constitutional lawyer, right?</p><p><strong>ME: </strong>Yeah. And his father actually had Jesuit training, could use logic, reason, debate, he had great debate skills. So his father was a much more competent, democratic figure, very rigorously minded, a vicious, vicious character.</p><p>I’m no fan, but I can respect the quality of mental power that Pierre was able to wield. And he was the type of guy who could go into uncomfortable situations and meet with hostile presidents or hostile journalists on camera and hold his own pretty well. So Justin is just a shadow of a shadow, crippled, emotional character whose whole life has been largely stage managed with flatterers and handlers, including Gerald Butts or Dominic LeBlanc, childhood friends who were part of always the Canadian deep state, both of them.</p><p>Or Thomas Pitfield, Michael Pitfield’s son is also a childhood friend and lifelong manager handler of Justin. So you got these guys who are brought in to be his friends. It’s kind of Truman Showy.</p><p>When I look at this stuff, that’s what it reminds me of, you know, this poor kid. But so there’s nothing, there’s no real substance. He didn’t have like a normal upbringing or childhood set of experiences.</p><p>And so that shallowness was very clear at the earliest stage. And I took him a few, took the Canada 2020 team some years to, I think, prep him, workshop him to the point that he could be brought out as he was in 2012 to be eventual very soon. First, the head of the Liberal Party after Ignatieff took his turn, maybe then it was Bob Rae was the interim leader.</p><p>And, you know, Bob Rae is another figure who was a Rhodes Scholar, very close to Chrystia Freeland Rhodes Scholar and gave up his own seat so that Chrystia would become a member of parliament and be one of the primary handlers of Justin in 2013. So you got this whole thing. And I would also say, too, one thing that’s important with the Canada 2020 is that they were also, if you look at the background of Thomas Axworthy and Bill Graham, Bill Graham was the president of the Canada International Council for a few years, which is the Canadian branch of the roundtable movement set up by Cecil Rhodes and Milner.</p><p>So in America, it’s the CFR, the Council on Foreign Relations. And in Britain, the mother think tank is Chatham House, or what’s known as the Royal Institute for International Affairs. And their Canadian branch was renamed Canada International Council.</p><p>So you had Bill Graham, who was in charge of that. Thomas Axworthy was the personal secretary to Pierre Elliott Trudeau for many years.</p><p>GR: He was the brother of Lloyd Axworthy, right?</p><p>ME: Correct.</p><p>Yeah. And both men together were also leaders of the task force for the North American Union in 2006, too, which was also, I think, it has since been rebranded, as I think you’ve noticed in the recent months, in the form of the idea of creating a North American technate with US-Canada integration that might also include perhaps Greenland, Mexico, and some countries all the way down to Brazil, really, or the upper part of Brazil. So that’s currently being floated.</p><p>It was already being designed and they had mock-up currency built on a model of the euro, of what that would look like for the Amero. And people could see those things online as they were marketing this thing, testing it to see if people would buy it at the time in 2006. It was, I guess, they received enough negative feedback from their impact studies that they chose to shelve it for a bit.</p><p>But I think it’s a scenario that’s being brought back. And this is where I see sort of, yeah, Justin is just, they need somebody now in the position of the prime ministership, of someone who actually has competence and can can sort of hold the chip together as the system globally goes into a new phase of crisis. You can’t just have any shallow puppet.</p><p>You got to have a slightly more, you know, competent technocrat type, like a Mark Carney, if you’re going to be able to manage that ship estate.</p><p><strong>GR:</strong> I’d just like to maybe get you to maybe briefly talk about the attempts to convert this confederation into a technate. Rival factions within the Liberal Party vying for control. There’s segments of it that’s resisting these sorts of movements. And so, I mean, does that mean that they are, that one is good for the people and one is bad for the people? Or are they just kind of rival factions, both trying to cement power control for the elites? I mean, what do you think of that?</p><p><strong>ME:</strong> Good question.</p><p>The way I tend to see it is that one, there definitely are fissures of ideology, but there’s a certain set of agreements as well on general needs to get over nation states, move the full powers of decision-making to a completely unelected intelligentsia that has full control of the powers of production, consumption, banking, and other things that will be completely detached from any type of accountability by institutions that could be represented by the people, whether labour unions or parliamentary or constitutional forms of institutions within society. They want to be liberated from all of that and have sort of power of gods. So, I think you generally have an idea that that sort of configuration is what’s desirous, but how to get it is where I think you see some fissures and disputes amongst the Western sociopathic elites.</p><p>And some of those ideas, some conceptions, I would say, give you more space if you’re a patriotic activist with a commitment to natural law and fighting this thing. There’s more space to work with within some of those groups. Now, let me give you a quick example.</p><p>Just to illustrate my meaning in a visceral way, you could see that dynamic expressed in the form of the battles within the British aristocracy of the 1930s over whether or not to continue to support the Hitler New World Order agenda. And for decades before 1936, when King Edward VIII was ousted by a controlled sort of scandal to eliminate him and replace him with a slightly more competent figure as king, he was the Nazi king. And he wasn’t alone.</p><p>A big chunk of the British aristocracy, Lloyd George, was hyper pro-Nazi. Members of parliament, very pro-Nazi. Oswald Mosley was just one of many.</p><p>Chamberlain was also relatively favorable to a Nazi-led Europe and Russia. And the idea was, you know, they were going to have a dividing up of the control of the world with Wall Street aristocrats having jurisdictional control over a big chunk of North America. Britain would have most of its colonies still maintained.</p><p>Hitler would control Russia and most of Europe. So, there was a big chunk of the Wall Street-London axis that wanted to continue with that. And then another faction that realized that Hitler was not the thing that they thought he was.</p><p>He wasn’t as obedient to the prompts he was expected to follow and had visions of being the senior partner in the New World Order instead of the junior partner. And so, there was a big fight. We could see it between groupings.</p><p>Nobody was good, but there was a fight. And they decided to ultimately abort their Hitler program and fight another day, right? So, if you didn’t have a Franklin Roosevelt, if you didn’t have a Stalin, if you didn’t have a Mao at that time that had carried out a type of struggle, a battle against the systems of empire, then the world would have looked much bleaker. And the fact that you had this configuration of like authentic nationalists for all of their problems, but they were not on the side of this population and technocratic agenda, they were able to force a much different paradigm, which took many decades to undermine during the Cold War.</p><p>So, what I see with the case of Canada, we have in the Liberal party a sort of tradition expressed by the old guard of like Jean Chrétien, who was typically in resistance to this type of program of the technate idea you alluded to. John Turner, another guy who was prime minister for two seconds, generally was resistant to NAFTA and that orientation of world government, at least it seems so. Definitely, Jean Chrétien was certainly resistant to it.</p><p>And I think that they were, for all their corruption, representing still a bit of a nationalist reflex that was seen by those who had a bit of a memory of C.D. Howe, Mackenzie King, William Lyon Mackenzie King, O.D. Skelton, and the old guard of Laurier liberals of the 20s and 30s and 40s and 50s, who did represent that like authentic nation building. They wanted to really build up a true sovereign nation that could stand on its own two feet. They wanted that, they were not ideologically Malthusian.</p><p>And they wanted to use the power of the nation state, the instruments of the national bank as much as they could to build our infrastructure and to do something for the next generation. So you have that, but then you have this other thing. And that other thing is reflected by these, I mean, Canada 2020 is just, they were set up to reorganize the Liberal party to de- Chrétien it.</p><p>It was the de- Chrétienification of the Liberal party during that time when the Liberals were taken down in 2005 through a scandal. And then there was a purge of party leadership and a restoration of more technocratically minded assets under Ignatieff and then Bob Rae that came out dominant. And that sort of same thing was done earlier on in 1960 with the thinkers conferences that Thomas Axworthy also participated in with a network of Liberal technocrats in 1960 to 61.</p><p>Well, after C.D. Howe died and Diefenbaker was in power for five years, that five years was a purge period where all the C.D. Howe Liberals were taken down. Walter Lockhart Gordon played a big role who later became the architect of a lot of Canada’s protective nationalist policies that Canadians tend to have liked. But in fact, I would say at the time, the motive was to simply keep Canada more locked in to the system of the Privy Council – the British Empire controls – which didn’t like having or seeing their American junior partners, in this case, it was the Rockefellers, wield their economic clout and power to gain more influence territorially over assets within Canada, which is what they were vying for in the 50s and especially the 60s. So, Walter Lockhart Gordon was part of the British Empire faction that wanted to keep Canada locked into the crown and the global controls there.</p><p>And that’s why they had to purge the C.D. Howe Liberals. So, you have these types of conferences that Canada 2020 represented at moments when they need to just sort of do hard shifts on the machine, which are not going to happen gradually. They need to do it more abruptly.</p><p>So, that’s sort of the way the Canadian system is stage-managed by the London controllers of the Privy Council. And there’s always been a battle, like I said, with their American pseudo allies, sometimes rivals. And I think that this convergence of the Peter Thiel, Silicon Valley, imperial Straussians that are currently in play right now and have gained a lot of influence around Trump.</p><p>Trump, I don’t believe is fully one of them, but I don’t think he fully understands the game either. I think he’s in danger of being an instrument for a different kind of empire. And I think that there is a bit of a battle right now over like there was in those two cases I just outlined in my rant.</p><p>There does seem to be a battle line because you have Russia, you have China, you have countries of the BRICS that have rejected the depopulation agenda that are increasing their abundance, their productive powers, their excellence. And they’re becoming more difficult to battle if we continue on our path of mediocrity. That’s been a 60-year program of de-industrialization, mediocritization.</p><p>So, how do we fight them against a geopolitician who’s like a cold-hearted geopolitician if you’ve made everybody who you need to use stupid and unproductive? And so, I think that there’s currently sort of a clash of the old guard, hard Nazi movement of the British Empire, which wants to double down on their depopulation, Green New Deal, Green Genocide Agenda, which Mark Carney seems to be a vicious representative of that ideological grouping.</p><p><strong>GR: </strong>Sounds more like Freeland.</p><p><strong>ME: </strong>Both.</p><p>Well, they’re both Oxford creatures. They’re both in Oxford, I think, around the same time before being brought into broader intelligence operations, Freeland through Reuters, Carney through Goldman Sachs. That’s sort of the feeder school, right?</p><p>But they work together very closely.</p><p><strong>GR: </strong>But now they’re fighting each other. Yeah.</p><p><strong>ME: </strong>That’s the thing.</p><p>I think it’s a circus. Fight for the drama, for the public consumption. But I think Carney and Freeland both represent the eco-genocide technocrat agenda that doesn’t want to change what they’ve been doing as far as commitment for depopulation under this Green New Deal thing for the past decades. And then you’ve got this other faction presenting such names as Elon Musk or Peter Thiel that are trying to really influence Trump heavily right now to build up the physical productive base of the United States, which benefit Canada, frankly, it’s possible as far as just not wanting to do it because it’s good or moral, but simply practically in order to fight Russia and China.</p><p>GR: Could I maybe just ask you one more question? According to polls, Conservatives are leading the Liberals now by 20 percentage points, and they’ve been in the lead for about a year or more. I find it hard to believe that any credible candidate would want to seek the leadership of the Liberal Party in its present state.</p><p>Why would this grand banker guy want to waste time leading an opposition party, as looks to be the case right now?</p><p><strong>ME: </strong>Well, I think he’s been given guarantees by forces that are much more powerful than him that this is what you’re going to be doing now. And the elections, I believe, are only officially going to happen probably in October, but it could maybe be triggered earlier. Certainly, there’s already propaganda.</p><p>He’s being brought into Jon Stewart. They’re really doing a lot of work to brand him again as the great Lincoln hero, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau 2.0 who saved Canada in a time of crisis. They’re already creating a mythos around him and marketing him to an American and Canadian audience.</p><p>He’s going to be the replacement to Justin, I guarantee it. I’ve been saying this for three years. I don’t know.</p><p>I agree with you. It’s difficult to imagine what kind of propaganda would be needed to shift such statistics, as you just mentioned. A 20% lead in favor for the Conservatives is a very tough nut to crack.</p><p>I don’t know. I don’t know how they’re going to do it. But I know that people are very malleable.</p><p>And kind of like Julius Caesar, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, they can cheer for Pompey one second and then cheer for Julius Caesar if he offers them more breaded circus and drink. I don’t know. I don’t have too much faith in the malleability of the mob and how they’re played like an instrument.</p>

<p><em>Col. Lawrence Wilkerson spent 31 years in the U.S. Army, serving in Vietnam, in the Pacific Command, on the faculty of the Navy War College, and at the Marine Corps University. In 1989 he became Chief of Staff to Gen. Colin Powell. He is a regular speaker at the International Peace Coalition.</em></p>



<p>Col. (ret.) Larry Wilkerson told participants of the 85<sup>th</sup> meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), Friday, Jan. 17: <strong>“The American Empire – and I will refer to the United States of America as an Empire – has gone badly astray.”</strong>  He warned that the American empire is confronting a dangerous and chaotic situation of its own making. We have placed two billion people under our “very draconian sanctions.” Col. Wilkerson described how he and his fellow IPC collaborator, retired Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant Dennis Fritz, witnessed 20 to 30 Capitol Police officers in one of the Senate office buildings threatening to arrest members of Doctors Against Genocide, who were peacefully lobbying to stop the genocide in Gaza.</p>



<p>During the discussion period Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that in her view now would be the moment to push the Oasis Plan, because Trump has said of himself many times that he is a builder, and he does understand something about construction. He wants to get the economy going for the United States. To which Larry Wilkerson responded: “You’re right to put your finger on water. Water is critical in that region. And one of the reasons you can understand partly what Israel has done with regard to Lebanon and elsewhere is their search for water. It’s going to become even more critical as climate change wreaks more of its havoc. So, yes, I would be absolutely for that.”</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/real-patriots-dont-think-like-hitler">Start Here</a></strong> if you’re new to the series.</p><p>I’ll stop beating around the bush now and just say it: Adolph Hitler or Benito Mussolini were never “their own men”.</p><p>The machines they led were never fully under their sovereign control and the financing they used as fuel in their effort to dominate the world did not come from the Banks of Italy or Germany. The technologies they used in petrochemicals, rubber, and computing didn’t come from Germany or Italy, and the governing scientific ideology of eugenics that drove so many of the horrors of Germany’s racial purification practices never originated in the minds of German thinkers or from German institutions.</p><p>Were it not for a powerful network of financiers and industrialists of the 1920s-1940s with names such as Rockefeller, Warburg, Montague Norman, Osborn, Morgan, Harriman or Dulles, then it can safely be said that fascism would never have been possible as a “solution” to the economic woes of the post-WWI order.</p><p>To prove this point, let us take the strange case of Prescott Bush as a useful entry point.</p><p>The patriarch of the same Bush dynasty that gave the world two disastrous American presidents made a name for himself funding Nazism alongside his business partners Averell Harriman and Averell’s younger brother E. Roland Harriman (the latter who was to recruit Prescott to Skull and Bones while both were studying at Yale).</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%2Ff0b34370-5bb5-487c-87b0-ac484368469b_359x296.jpeg" 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%2Ff0b34370-5bb5-487c-87b0-ac484368469b_359x296.jpeg" width="501" height="413.0807799442897" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f0b34370-5bb5-487c-87b0-ac484368469b_359x296.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":296,"width":359,"resizeWidth":501,"bytes":19181,"alt":"","title":"","type":"image/jpeg","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" fetchpriority="high" 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>Not only did Prescott, acting as director of Brown Brothers Harriman, provide valuable loans to keep the bankrupt Nazi party afloat during Hitler’s loss of support in 1932 when the German population voted into office the <a href="https://larouchepub.com/other/1999/liebig_schleicher_2610.html">anti-Fascist General Kurt von Schleicher as Chancellor</a>, but he was even found guilty for “trading with the enemy” as director of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar">Union Banking Corporation in 1942</a>!</p><p>That’s right! Eleven months after America entered WWII, the Federal Government naturally conducted an investigation of all Nazi banking operations in the USA and wondered why Prescott continued to direct a bank which was so deeply enmeshed with Fritz Thyssen’s Bank voor Handel en Scheepvart of the Netherlands. (Thyssen, for those who are unaware is the German industrial magnate famous for writing the book <a href="https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.239690/page/n7/mode/2up">“I Paid Hitler”.</a>)</p><p>The bank itself was tied to a German combine called Steel Works of the German Steel Trust which controlled 50.8% of Nazi Germany’s pig iron, 41.4% of its universal plate, 38.5% of its galvanized steel, 45.5% of its pipes and 35% of its explosives. Under Vesting Order 248, <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/world/bush-grandpa-traded-with-enemy-for-3-years-before-assets-seized/article/424715">the U.S. federal government seized all of Prescott’s properties</a> on October 22, 1942.</p><p>The U.S.-German Steel combine was only one small part of a broader operation, as Rockefeller’s Standard Oil had created a new international cartel alongside IG Farben (the fourth largest company in the world) in 1929 under the <a href="https://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/dawes">Young Plan</a>.</p><p>Owen Young was a JP Morgan asset who headed General Electric and instituted a German debt repayment plan in 1928 that gave rise to the Bank of International Settlements (BIS,) and consolidated an international cartel of industrialists and financiers on behalf of the City of London and Wall Street. The largest of these cartels saw Henry Ford’s German operations merging with IG Farben, Dupont industries, Britain’s Shell and Rockefeller’s Standard Oil.</p><p>The 1928 cartel agreement also made it possible for Standard Oil to pass off all patents and technologies for the creation of synthetic gasoline from coal to IG Farben, thus allowing Germany to rise from producing merely 300 000 tons of natural petroleum in 1934 to an incredible 6.5 million tons (85% of its total) during WWII! Had this patent/technology transfer not taken place, it is a fact that the modern mechanized warfare that characterized WWII could never have occurred.</p><p>Two years before the Young Plan began, JP Morgan had already <a href="https://books.google.ca/books?id=s8hiamcsiFQC&amp;pg=PA362&amp;lpg=PA362&amp;dq=jp+morgan+mussolini+$100+million+loan+1926&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=yhdPRBwXHI&amp;sig=ACfU3U1hcyfk4CzG1RvRqUZHS2iFNHOyqg&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwihg7bKiZzpAhWmiOAKHfM3C3MQ6AEwA3oECAYQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=jp%20morgan%20mussolini%20%24100%20million%20loan%201926&amp;f=false">given a $100 million loan</a> to Mussolini’s newly established fascist regime in Italy, with Democratic Party kingmaker Thomas Lamont playing the role of Prescott Bush in Wall Street’s Italian operation.</p><p>It wasn’t only JP Morgan who loved Mussolini’s brand of corporate fascism, but Time Magazine’s Henry Luce <a href="https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/2004/eirv31n25-20040625/eirv31n25-20040625_028-henry_luces_empire_of_fascism.pdf">unapologetically gushed</a> over Il Duce, putting Mussolini on the cover of Time eight times between 1923 and 1943 while relentlessly promoting fascism as the “economic miracle solution for America” (which he also did in his other two magazines Fortune and Life).</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%2Ff603e257-0ba3-4ef6-b808-d843a0a444f3_196x258.jpeg" 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%2Ff603e257-0ba3-4ef6-b808-d843a0a444f3_196x258.jpeg" width="300" height="394.8979591836735" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f603e257-0ba3-4ef6-b808-d843a0a444f3_196x258.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":258,"width":196,"resizeWidth":300,"bytes":9581,"alt":"","title":"","type":"image/jpeg","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" 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>Many desperate Americans, still traumatized from the long and painful depression begun in 1929, had increasingly embraced the poisonous idea that an American fascism would put food on the table and finally help them find work.</p><p>A few words should be said of Brown Brothers Harriman.</p><p>Bush’s Nazi bank itself was the product of an earlier 1931 merger, which took place between Montagu Norman’s family bank (Brown Brothers) and Harriman, Bush and Co. Montague Norman was the Governor of the Bank of England from 1920 to 1944, leader of the Anglo-German Fellowship Trust and controller of Germany’s Hjalmar Schacht (Reichsbank president from 1923-1930 and Minister of Economy from 1934-1937). Norman was also the primary controller of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) from its creation in 1930 throughout the entirety of WWII.</p><h2><strong>The Central Bank of Central Banks</strong></h2><p>Although the BIS was established under the Young Plan and nominally steered by Schacht as a mechanism for debt repayments from WWI, the Swiss-based “Central Bank of Central Banks” was the key mechanism for international financiers to fund the Nazi machine.</p><p>The fact that the BIS was under the total control of Montagu Norman was revealed by Dutch Central Banker Johan Beyen, <a href="https://books.google.ca/books?id=NLs2jde6kEQC&amp;pg=PT42&amp;lpg=PT42&amp;dq=Norman%E2%80%99s+prestige+was+overwhelming.+As+the+apostle+of+central+bank+cooperation,+he+made+the+central+banker+into+a+kind+of+arch-priest+of+monetary+religion.+The+BIS+was,+in+fact,+his+creation&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vjy06XB3Sd&amp;sig=ACfU3U3PzCZpsUNj29gevm7PTK3eotYSjg&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwih6fLnipzpAhUin-AKHdm7D1gQ6AEwAHoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=Norman%E2%80%99s%20prestige%20was%20overwhelming.%20As%20the%20apostle%20of%20central%20bank%20cooperation%2C%20he%20made%20the%20central%20banker%20into%20a%20kind%20of%20arch-priest%20of%20monetary%20religion.%20The%20BIS%20was%2C%20in%20fac">who said</a> <em>“Norman’s prestige was overwhelming. As the apostle of central bank cooperation, he made the central banker into a kind of arch-priest of monetary religion. The BIS was, in fact, his creation.”</em></p><p>The founding members of the Board included the private central banks of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Belgium, as well as a coterie of 3 private American banks (JP Morgan, First National of Chicago, and First National of New York). The three American banks merged after the war and are today known as Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase.</p><p>In its founding constitution, the BIS, its directors and staff were given immunity from all sovereign national laws, and not even authorities in Switzerland were permitted to enter its premises.</p><p>This story was conveyed powerfully in<em> the 2013 book <a

together leading eugenicists from around the world, who came to study America’s successful application of eugenics laws which had begun in 1907 under the enthusiastic patronage of Theodore Roosevelt. Hiding behind the respectable veneer of “science,” these high priests of science discussed the new age of “directed evolution of man” which would soon be made possible under a global scientific dictatorship.</p><p>Speaking at the conference, leading British Fascist Fairfield Osborn said that eugenics:</p><blockquote><p><em>“aids and encourages the survival and multiplication of the fittest; indirectly, it would check and discourage the multiplication of the unfitted.</em></p><p><em>As to the latter, in the United States alone, it is widely recognized that there are millions of people who are acting as dragnets or sheet anchors on the progress of the ship of state… While some highly competent people are unemployed, the mass of unemployment is among the less competent, who are first selected for suspension, while the few highly competent people are retained because they are still indispensable.</em></p><p><em>In nature, these less-fitted individuals would gradually disappear, but in civilization, we are keeping them in the community in the hopes that in brighter days, they may all find employment. This is only another instance of humane civilization going directly against the order of nature and encouraging the survival of the un-fittest”.</em></p></blockquote><p>The dark days of the great depression were good years for bigotry and ignorance, as eugenics laws were applied to <a href="https://historyofrights.ca/encyclopaedia/main-events/eugenics/">two Canadian provinces</a>, and widely spread across Europe and America, with <a href="https://www.uvm.edu/~lkaelber/eugenics/">30 U.S. states applying eugenics laws</a> to sterilize the unfit. <a href="https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/1796">The Rockefeller Foundation</a> went onto fund German eugenics and most specifically the rising star of human improvement Joseph Mengele.</p><p>Hitler himself was not only a devout eugenicist (whose racial purification policies emerged through the funding of the Rockefeller &amp; Carnegie Foundations as well as British establishment), but was also a devout Malthusian saying:</p><blockquote><p><em>“The day will certainly come when the whole of mankind will be forced to check the augmentation of the human species, because there will be no further possibility of adjusting the productivity of the soil to the perpetual increase in the population.”</em></p></blockquote><p>The full scope of Nazi conservation policies were told in detail in the 2006 book <a href="https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=12420">How Green Were the Nazis</a>.</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%2F7818a53d-5514-4fd7-b15b-3e7590e5c4df_333x499.jpeg" 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%2F7818a53d-5514-4fd7-b15b-3e7590e5c4df_333x499.jpeg" width="299" height="448.05105105105105" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7818a53d-5514-4fd7-b15b-3e7590e5c4df_333x499.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":499,"width":333,"resizeWidth":299,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":"","type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" 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><h2><strong>The Nazi Frankenstein Monster is Aborted</strong></h2><p>Describing his January 29, 1935 meeting with Hitler, Round Table controller Lord Lothian quoted the Fuhrer’s vision for Aryan co-direction of the New World Order, saying:</p><blockquote><p><em>“Germany, England, France, Italy, America and Scandinavia … should arrive at some agreement whereby they would prevent their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of countries such as China, and India. It is suicidal to promote the establishment in the agricultural countries of Asia of manufacturing industries”</em></p></blockquote><p>While it is obvious that much more can be said on the topic, the Fascist machine didn’t fully behave the way the Dr. Frankensteins in London wished, as Hitler began to realize that his powerful military machine gave Germany the power to lead the New World Order rather than play second fiddle as mere enforcers on behalf of their Anglo masters in Britain.</p><p>While many London and Wall Street oligarchs were willing to adapt to this new reality, a decision was made to abort the plan, and try to fight another day.</p><p>To accomplish this, a scandal was concocted to justify the abdication of <a href="https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1996/eirv23n22-19960524/eirv23n22-19960524_010-the_nazi_roots_of_the_house_of_w.pdf">pro-Nazi King Edward VIII</a> in 1936, and an appeasing Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was replaced with Winston Churchill in 1940.</p><p>While Sir Winston was a life long <a href="https://winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-hour-extras/churchill-and-eugenics-1/">racist, eugenicist</a> and even <a href="https://www.bloombergquint.com/view/churchill-was-more-villain-than-hero-in-britain-s-colonies">Mussolini-admirer,</a> he was first and foremost a devout British Imperialist, and as such would fight tooth and nail to save the prestige of the Empire if it were threatened.

Philip’s four brothers-in-law, with whom he lived, all became high-ranking officials in the Nazi Party.</p><p>Philip himself maintained the family tradition, first having been educated under a Nazi curriculum centered on eugenics in the 1930s, and then going on to found the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) with fellow one-time Nazi Party member Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a lifelong eugenicist and Bilderberg Group founder, in 1961. Philip and Bernhard were joined by Sir Julian Huxley (then president of the Eugenics Society of Britain) as WWF co-founder.</p><p>In an <a href="https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/prince-philip-tempted-ask-reincarnation-deadly-virus-reduce-world-population/">August 1988 interview with Deutsche Press Agentur,</a> Prince Philip proclaimed his desire to return in the next life as a deadly virus to help “solve overpopulation”.</p><p>Prince Philip mused about depopulating the human zoo asserting:</p><blockquote><p><em>“You cannot keep a bigger flock of sheep than you are capable of feeding. In other words conservation may involve culling in order to keep a balance between the relative numbers in each species within any particular habitat. I realize this is a very touchy subject, but the fact remains that mankind is part of the living world. Every new acre brought into cultivation means another acre denied to wild species.”</em></p></blockquote><h2><strong>The Fascists vs. Franklin Roosevelt</strong></h2><p>Within America itself, the pro-fascist Wall Street establishment had been loosing a war that began the day anti-fascist President Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932.
