The Most Egregious Mistake
The Most Egregious Mistake The U.S. government is hostage to its financial hegemony in a way that is rarely fully understood… It is the miscalculation of this era – one that may begin the collapse of dollar primacy, and therefore, global compliance with U.S. political demands, too.

America’s Technology and Sanctions War Will End, by Bifurcating the Global Economy “The true reason behind the US-China ‘trade’ war has little to do with actual trade … What is really at the basis of the ongoing civilizational conflict between the US and China … are China’s ambitions to be a leader in next-generation technology, […]

The Beginning of the End of the Bilderberg Era
