And that’s […]
Energy Dominance Isn’t Just a Trump Obsession
Energy Dominance Isn’t Just a Trump Obsession Energy Dominance should be the catchphrase of the day. It’s on the minds of every political figure, and the focus of every economy. This is especially true of those vulnerable to a change in the status quo, namely Saudi Arabia. While some continue to believe the gyrations of […]
Trump Betrays MAGA Over Venezuela
Trump Betrays MAGA Over Venezuela The U.S. backed a coup in Venezuela that has failed. And President Trump was the architect of it. This is a farce surrounding an intrigue contained within a tragedy. What has happened in Venezuela is tragic. Nicolas Maduro is a comical figure straight out of central casting for a South […]

Trump Walks Back Syria Pullout As Noose Tightens
Trump Walks Back Syria Pullout As Noose Tightens If anyone still thinks that Donald Trump has some master plan to kill off his Deep State adversaries they should check themselves into therapy. I know withdrawal is hard, but admitting you have a problem is the first step to curing it. He doesn’t have a plan. […]
Inflation Targeting Madness: Russia Raises Rates Again
Inflation Targeting Madness: Russia Raises Rates Again I continue to wonder who Bank of Russia President Elvira Nabuillina works for. Seriously. On Friday, in response to solid growth in Russian economic statistics over the past few months, Nabuillina again raised interest rates 0.25%. She still adheres to idiotic IMF-style ‘inflation targeting’ dogma. Price inflation in […]
Deplatforming Paves the Way for Cryptocurrency
Deplatforming Paves the Way for Cryptocurrency The recent deplatforming of Sargon of Akkad by Patreon has a lot of people very nervous. I became worried we’d get to this state the first time they went after Gab for not allowing their app in the Google or Apple stores. It became obvious then that we would […]
The End of France as We Know It?
The End of France as We Know It? When an event grabs headlines like the protests in France have I temper my reactions to it. I didn’t give the Yellow Vest protests much thought at first wanting to see where they would lead. Protests like this and even bigger ones like Catalonian independence are invariably […]
Trust Is Failing on Both Sides of the Pond
Trust Is Failing on Both Sides of the Pond I’ve been warning for a while now that we are pushing towards an inflection point in history.

OPEC Cuts Deep to Save Cartel With oil prices in free fall and the dawning realization that Great Reflation trade of 2017 is over, OPEC needed to do something drastic to remind everyone how important they are. Moreover, with Qatar quitting the cartel last week it was then doubly necessary for OPEC to make the […]

The Ins and Outs of Israel’s Pipeline to Europe. Israel announced a major pipeline project from the gas fields off its shore involving four countries, terminating in northern Italy.

Salvini Takes Control of Europe’s Future
Salvini Takes Control of Europe’s Future Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini just declared himself the leader of the Europe’s future. He refuses to budge one inch in negotiations with the European Union over Italy’s budget now threatening to take down the government. And in doing this he not only speaks for Italians, he is now […]
Forget Nordstream 2, Turkstream is the Prize
Forget Nordstream 2, Turkstream is the Prize While the Trump Administration still thinks it can play enough games to derail the Nordstream 2 pipeline via sanctions and threats, the impotence of its position geopolitically was on display the other day as the final pipe of the first train of the Turkstream pipeline entered the waters […]
