The Financial Times is reporting {link here, paywall} that Finland and Sweden are likely to join the NATO alliance. According to the reporting {also in Reuters} the application from Finland is expected in June and Sweden shortly thereafter.
Adding Sweden and Finland would be a major escalation in both the western conflict and provocations against Russia, obviously, justified by western leaders as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, in the big analysis, the global financial system appears to be the larger issue.
From the outset of the Russian military operation into Ukraine, it was obvious the western alliance was intent on an almost ‘all or nothing‘ confrontation with Russia. The only limits to what the alliance was willing to do was trigger a nuclear showdown through direct military action against Russia to protect the non-NATO country of Ukraine.
The NATO and western government response was a fast system of financial sanctions intended to cripple the Russian economy. However, Russia responded to those actions with countermoves on the trade front, beginning to establish the first ever non-Euro and non-dollar-based trade system. In essence, a financial trading system created by the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).
Therefore, if we think about the current status of geopolitics and international finance, the NATO response now involves a priority of controlling and protecting the previously established financial structures of global trade. A NATO effort to avoid the cleaving is now underway as an outcome of the sanctions against Russia.
As one person put it, “This is a fight for the dollar as reserve currency. Imagine trying to maintain our debt when nobody wants treasury notes. If BRICS succeed, US collapses as an economic power. On the other hand, if we win, Klaus Schwab’s nutty world wins.” I tend to agree with this outlook because it parallels something we see domestically in the U.S.
In the United States, the people behind Biden and the extreme leftists are rapidly advancing their ideological quest toward the “Green New Deal.”
Coal, oil, and gas exploration/development have been slowed, stymied and halted as the administration chases clean renewable energy goals.
However, the current problem is there’s no intermediate system of energy production to support their push. This is driving energy costs through the roof, and that problem is magnifying inflation created by prior spending.
During their collective pandemic response, western governments all followed the blueprint laid out by the World Economic Forum (WEF), which was, in essence, to shut down human activities, lock down economies and then spend massively to fill the void. Almost all western leaders followed this exact advice and spent tens-of-trillions in direct subsidies to people and businesses during their lockdowns and COVID mitigation efforts.
At the end of this interventionist rainbow, the collective was instructed to “build back better,” where the economies they destroyed would be rebuilt through the priority prism of ‘climate change.’ However, just like the absence of any U.S. energy transition, the WEF program also did not have a mechanism to bridge the change from ‘dirty’ to ‘clean’ energy.
All of the western government spending during their COVID plan has created two big issues (crisis):
♦ First, massive inflation in every nation who followed the government spending approach. Not coincidentally, the national rate of inflation in every nation directly correlates to the scale of their spending in relationship to their GDP. Global inflation is raging amid the nations that locked down and then subsidized the missing economic activity with government spending.
♦ The second crisis is simple. All of that unsustainable spending has created massive government debt, that has to be paid back. The debt level within the western nations has skyrocketed.
However, if you take the outlook that WEF instructions were based on forethought this inflation and debt was going to be a natural consequence, a crisis created by following the plan, then it’s also likely the way out of the debt was going to be a global digital currency. How else could the World Economic Forum members possibly expect to pay for their: (a) current spend level, and (b) grand “build back better” agenda?
That global banking system and multinational financial outlook puts a very important context to how the west would look at the BRICS financial trade mechanisms as a threat.
Additionally, if this financial and banking issue is the true motive of western government, then suddenly a lot of our internal conservative political pro-Ukraine anti-Putin commentary starts to make sense.
People have wondered why folks like Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and other conservative voices have been pounding the table demanding U.S. military involvement and more punitive actions against Vladimir Putin. In the U.S., people have wondered why suddenly a major section of the Republican establishment have aligned with the position of the WEF, UN, NATO, World Bank, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, etc.
If you accept the global banking system and international financial system is at risk, due to the strategies of Russia to avoid the sanctions, then suddenly the severe position of those voices makes sense. Follow the money.
Arguably, this global economic problem (debt and inflation) was directly caused by the collective western government response to COVID. However, now there’s another aspect that makes the debt and inflation seem small by comparison. If there was an alternative to currencies deliberately devalued by the collective western approach to government spending, wouldn’t you want to own that?
If the financial systems, central banks, and global financial mechanisms are fractured by an entirely new system to pay for trade, i.e. the BRICS approach, we end up with two distinctly different currencies (still undetermined) to pay for trade.
This outlook puts Sweden and Finland essentially in a position of choosing banking sides. NATO supporting the maintenance of Euros and Dollars, and the BRICS group, representing almost two thirds of the world population, fighting to go in another direction.
That is the bigger conflict.
WEF -vs- BRICS over trade currency….
…. is also NATO -vs- Russia
…. is also Climate Change -vs- Oil use.
…. is also Globalism -vs- Nationalism
…. is also Feudalism -vs- Freedom
If the US Petrodollar loses its position of the most used World Reserve Currency, it will become increasingly difficult to find anyone to buy our debt.
We won’t be able to print our way out of debt.
So, we will have to start living within our means.
We won’t have endless funds for war, the ever increasing number of 3 letter government agencies, illegals, etc.
Inflation will stay.
It will be painful but, perhaps, in the long run, not such a bad thing.
And your retirement home value will be worth 30% what it is today
Not likely. Supply and demand in real estate is going to be an ongoing source of price appreciation apart from inflation. Real property has historically been one of the better hedges against inflation like other physical commodities. I would disagree with the words economic collapse but, say rather a contraction in economic power that would force us to be more fiscally restrained. Given that that is unlikely for governments to do, it will make it easier to crash the system ala Cloward/Piven if that is the ultimate goal. Crashing the system means wasting huge amounts of resources through misdirection of capital allocation with climate change as well as reducing the ability of the feds to print money to try to paper over it.
Those are separate systems.
I think the Fed’s SPOOKED over the impending scope and pace of De-Dollarization.
IMO they have to do things VERY differently, and they seem about to “catch on”.
• CONCLUDE that their “Fed-Funds Rate Hikes” are now completely “DECOUPLED” from Market Interest Rates that are surging for Mortgages and Treasuries, which have begun to “skyrocket higher” [shades of Obama’s “Electric Rates will necessarily skyrocket”], but just beginning to reflect “Market Rate Discovery”, since the Fed’s STILL refinancing ALL expiring Treasuries at nominally zero yields.
• STOP Fed-Funds Rate Hikes
=> Enabling Banks to LEND-for-LESS to do their share to fend off Recession
=> Inoculating the Fed against TAKING-the-HIT for Maniacal Spending
• START Quantitative Tightening at the Fed Balance Sheet Reduction-Rate of $100 Billion MONTHLY, which forces “Market Yields” on BOTH the $100 Billion of “Refinanced Expiring Treasuries” AND the $100s of Billions of “Incremental Deficit-Funding Treasuries” for Budget Deficits PLUS Emergency-Crisis Supplementals.
=> Driving skyrocketing INTEREST-on-DEBT
=> Generating Death-Spiral expansion of DEBT SHARE-of-BUDGET
=> Putting OWNERSHIP on BOTH the Demo☭rat Administration and the UniParty Congress!
=> Forcing TAX HIKES that trigger Recession/Depression OR
=> GRAFT CUTS that threaten their Kickback Gravy Train
The problem with this analysis is that the Federal Reserve is now a department of the Democrat Party like the FBI, DOJ, CIA, FDA, CDC and OSHA. In the past 100 years the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates on a Democrat President only twice. That’s less than what they raised on President Trump with zero information alone! Yellen and Powell are not going to sabotage Biden anymore than he’s already sabotaged himself!
BKR, I’ve been in finance my 20+yr career and have worried about this scenario since college. If THIS is the coming-home-to-roost moment, there’s really nothing one can do to inoculate. It’s going to get Argentine. But NOT Venezuelan…, because of… 2A. God bless the memories of our Founding Brothers.

The problem with real estate, is that you never actually “own” your property. You are always at risk of losing it to the government for failure to pay taxes. If inflation gets bad enough, people will start defaulting on their mortgages. Those who don’t have a mortgage, but are on a fixed or limited income, will no longer be able to afford to pay their property taxes. That will result in a large number of properties being put up for sale at bargain rates, which will drive surrounding real estate values down. This happened to some extent during Obama’s term in office when energy prices were high. Those who had moved to the suburbs found that they could no longer afford the gas to commute to work, and their house payment too. Many of those home owners defaulted on their mortgages, because they could not find any buyers for their suburban properties due to the high cost of the daily commute to work. The result was a depression in real estate prices, at least in the suburbs and rural areas. It took years for real estate values to recover in some areas.
Make no mistake, the real estate values we are seeing today is a bubble, much like the stock market is. The values are being driven up by corporations, and investors, who are moving their money out of stocks and bonds into real estate in an effort to retain at least some of their wealth when the economy collapses.
Average mortgage in our area is $800,000 ( Can) we have had over ten years of near zero interest rates.
Look out debt whores!
Insane, yet here we are.
Cheers!
Over 50% of the homes in Florida are owned free and clear without a mortgage. Property taxes are capped at the time of purchase! Nobody without a mortgage is going to lose the house for property taxes in Florida!
Same here in Parts of British Columbia many, many seniors are mortgage free..sadly their kids are waiting for the inheritance on the said sale of the home.
Offshore monies are happy to park their money in our R.E.
At least for now..
In our Scottish hometown, city politicians implemented a window tax, yes a window tax. ( likely in the late 19 th century)
Guess what, owners bricked up a window or two.
Seriously our home ( my Great Grandfather’s) had a bricked up window.
Still does to this day..
Cheers!
Laws can and do change. In times like what is coming; assurance of change is the only known element.
Check out Portsmouth, Virginia and area property tax rates. Those Dem run cities are already experiencing sky high rates
Could that also be corporation’s doing the bidding of WEF so they own everything and you must be happy about it? We’ll be renting from WEF but only if we have the clot shot. In other words be ready for the seven year tribulation of hell on earth if WEF wins this global conflict.
The housing demand is being inflated by all the invaders needing a place to live.
Price is no obstacle, since the government (we the people) are paying for it.
> Supply and demand in real estate is going to be an ongoing source of price appreciation apart from inflation. Real property has historically been one of the better hedges against inflation like other physical commodities.
That won’t hold true this time. With the collapse of the dollar, which is certain when it loses status as the world’s reserve currency, the situation will be different here in the States.
We’re looking at a population crash of at least 100 million people. 40+ million will self-deport back to whatever nation they have ties to and can still speak the language. They were here only for a paycheck anyway, but now the dollar is likely to be weaker than whatever they came from and there certainly won’t be any way to earn money here to send back home or take it with you and retire back home.
Another 60+ million will starve to death and/or die due to a lack of medical treatment that they can’t afford or can no longer be found available to treat them.
When you have at least 25% of the total population suddenly no longer here, and with interest rates in the high teens for mortgages, the prices of all real property will drop by at least half, and probably 80-90%.
That’s what I think. How is it bad that we have to start living within our means? How is it bad that we stop the endless military interventions? It’s not.
We have to have means to live within. We don’t.
The U.S. is still a FANG/FIRE economy, and that is going to zero. We will survive on the manufacturing and farm production we have remaining.
In other words, if we have to live within our means, we won’t live. We won’t survive.
I read that currently, the only ones buying US debt is the Fed and mutual funds. A lot of regular folks will be holding the bag the WEF puppets emptied out.
I think Russia has today made it clear to Finland that moving to NATO would jeopardize their country. Not sure what Russia has in mind, but it can’t be good. I still don’t understand how a digital currency solves all the debt issues. I think time will run out on the countries on President Putin’s “bad list” before they can pull off their one world global order crap. For a bunch of supposedly smart people, the WEF crowd has sure done some idiot things and it ain’t working out the way they thought it would thanks to Russia.
Because they intend to tax you 20% of salary, and 20% on any goods you are ALLOWED to purchase. Your money and life becomes theirs!
It would take a lot more than that to pay off a debt that is now approaching 127% in the US. Japan’s debt is more than twice that and their demographics means fewer and fewer workers making money. The demographics in the rest of the west is pretty negative also–too few children to replace those dying.
Don’t worry, the Mexicans are coming, and oil/gas users will be taxed like Europe. 80%
If the 80% tax includes Natural Gas users then it would seem the northern states will become desolate due to winter heating requirements.
And people are going to die in the Southwest from the heat and lack of water.
oh bullspit ! people have always lived in the southwest .
The debt is beyond the level of paying off in an ordinary manner so I agree. It would seem to require something cataclysmic to acquire the assets of the vast US Population to pay it off. According to Bloomberg circa 2019, 50th percentile to the 90th percentile of Americans — much of the middle and upper-middle classes – held total assets of $36.9 trillion. In other words, enough to pay off the debt.
In this one scenario, my question is how do they take it from the masses and, where those assets are property assets, not investment assets, who do they sell it too? Not to mention, what are the financial implications to corporation and the market if the investment assets are liquidated?
Just one scenario in many possible. The money can be identified but how they acquire it to settle the debt is something I’ll leave to others to work through and determine.
Levi, precisely. Can’t be done.
They have told us. They plan to kill everyone.
It’s called default on everything.
Great reset in other words.
Trade Alaska to the CCP to pay off the bonds. Sell most of the Navy to Persian Gulf countries. Nationalize George Soros & ALL the tech monopolists. Invoke martial law as the federal government is restructured, relocated and restaffed. Banning of political parties, lobbying activities and corporate money in elected office holders.
The US could raise more than enough money from public lands that it could sell off to pay the debt. The key, however, is that land in the US would have little value if the neighboring communities are destitute.
As in all cases dealing with real estate, it’s LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Does anyone actually think they will do a one-to-one trade (e.g., one digital currency “note” for every $ you have in savings or retirement accounts)?? I don’t.
What would you do if the government decided to give one digital currency “note” for every $10 in your savings and retirement accounts? You would be wiped out while the government would automatically reduce its debt.
That happened to some of the currencies in Europe that had to move over to the Euro.
The Dutch in particular were aggrieved, and many felt that their buying power, and savings had taken a big knock.
The way I am seeing it, once all personal property has been seized by the banks with forclosure, or by the governments for failure to pay taxes, then there will be an agreement between the world nations to forgive all government debt (for those aligned with WEF) and start over with a clean slate. Those individuals, or non-WEF aligned governments, holding government bonds will be left with worthless paper.
Remember, you will own nothing and be happy.
Yea, that should work out just dandy. Nothing like a smooth, flawless transition from debt to a clean slate.
they kinda forgot about the 300 million plus guns the unwanted masses have . At some point desperate hunted people will lash out .
Not how the WEF envisions it. YOU will own nothing and be happy. They will default on national debt and pensions. They will pay a universal basic income. One world government run by UN. They will still be rich. Russia, China, India, etc. Are setting up their own global trade group.
One day the Scans may think they are looking at an Aurora Borealis on their horizon as their eyes are getting radiation burned to the backs of their skulls
stu, I think something along those lines, but it might not even require that level against a country like Finland. Check out where their military is rated among others around the world.
LOL. They don’t need a military in NATO.
But it’s perfectly all right to sell out to the PRC to build an underwater tunnel between Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia – a “Belt and Road Initiative” project!
I believe Finland , historically, was Russia in the past. Correct me if I am wrong.
wrong
I always thought it was ceded to Russia after the Finnish War in 1809, though it didn’t last long as part of the Duchy.
So what do you all think? Texas secedes? Civil war and fracturing of US with states wanting to merge with Texas?
-many of these states’ governors have been bucking the federal trends…. They may want to opt out of financial suicide…
I think that is a possibility.
Why not? Here in Canada Newfoundland did not become a part of Canada till 1947 or something like that.
Things change…Impermanence is a fact!
Cheers!
We settled that once already. Secession is not an alternative.
It’s always an alternative. Empires don’t last forever.
Different issues then: slavery, state’s rights. Wars were fought differently.
Christianity as a central core belief system was not in question. Today the states where Judeo-Christian values are held by a dominant majority could coalesce around a common social order based on shared values.
The Gavin/Nancy/Schiff people on one coast and the Schumer/Obama/AOC alliance on the other and the Greart Lakes states could run their little kingdoms as they please without dragging the rest of us into it. Other areas? Let them sort it out it out for themselves .
We need to Gerry-meander that little map; Chicago should STAY with Obama because THATS HIM!
guess i missed that in the Constitution ,
Texas still has in its state constitution the right to secede.
yeah, they settled it..
It was ALL about states rights and limitations of federal government…Same issues that we face today
Texas has the right and responsibility to protect its citizens and their property from INVASION…UNFORTUNATELY the political elites refer to it as immagration
Immagration is performed legally according to a lawful procedure…
Time for Abbott to learn sh#t from shinenola..
A convention of the States would be more prudent that secession by one or groups of states.
The federal government needs to be reformed and its power reduced and redefined in no uncertain terms.
Agree 100% yet, try and get these weasel pols to do something like that. I hear the COS is getting closer but the real hard nuts to crack are coming up.
Get your popcorn… my faith is in God any way you cut it, not the COS or seccession or the continuance of what we have. Biblical prophesy is being fulfilled daily and the timeline is ratcheting up.
Watch and pray. The rest is speculation.
A convention of the states would allow rinos to vote to remove the 1st, 2nd,4th,5th and 10th amendments.
And they will!
Exactly 💯 💯
I’m all for a convention of states.
What if…. some states, when we get that far, offer to pull out?
That in effect is what’s happening. The people in the COS states don’t want any more Washington, or government by California czars. Leverage, if nothing else.
Nope. The original US Constitution had very strict restrictions on the federal government’s powers. Return the nation to the parameters laid out in the original US Constitution and there would be no need for a convention. The Framers got it right the first time.
The US Constitution is not broken, it’s just been ignored since the early 1900’s and not taught properly in the schools, if taught at all.
No one educated by the publics schools knows anything about the Constitution of the US or the Constitution of their State. History and the Constitution, personal responsibility, have disappeared from education. National Parks and National Park Management coming from Washington DC should have never been allowed. Once DC became the largest landholder in the Country the Constitution was put aside and only followed when convenient. JMO
as Dodsworth (Walter Huston) prepared to disembark from the cruise ship – his ingrate, unfaithful wife Fran (Ruth Chatterton)
wailed out across the salon as she realized he was leaving, “but don’t you love me anymore?”
“Yes! I love you! But love has GOT to stop somewhere short of suicide!”
I am mentioning this as sort of a parallel to our own situation as a country where OUR love of this country is so intense and part of us, like the air we breathe – but those in leadership situations, to whom we have ENTRUSTED our country, have been grossly unfaithful and we can see how they have used our love of country, our patriotism, to keep us in this abusive relationship.
well done
V-22, recall a license plate I saw some years ago – IMTXN2 – think it was in CO or VA. I’m 7th-gen born but been away for a while. Reconsidering, real hard.
JK
Might be a rough go at first, but theBalkanization of America may be the only way to save what’s left of it. Cut a swath from Montana through Texas, see who else wants to buy in on a county basis. Start there.
Three or four other nations could be carved out of the remainder.
Defense treaties might be a problem; trade would probably go smoother that expected, and if heartland wealth could be kept at home instead of being squandered and exported by the DC/NY crowd we’d be OK. Let the rest of the continent figure out what to do witrh the messes they’ve brought on themselves.
Abbott has bucked nothing.
It’s like being on a boat you wish would sink but you’re on it. Why did I have to be alive at the end of an empire?
Or better yet… PRAISE GOD that HE determined to have you alive in a time such as this! He will equip you. He thought so much of you that He determined the world needed you right now. Pop popcorn, put on the full Armor of God, and remember fear is the sin of unbelief.
China is the next empire. We are in decline or collapse and they are ascending.
China’s fate is tied to ours. W/o the US economy China is nothing. Both die, when the parasite kills the host.
You’re wrong. China doesn’t need your purchases, and they are aligned with 3/4 of the global population in BRICS
Yeah but isn’t that “3/4 of the global population” is mostly peasants with their hands out?
once we falter where will china steal ideas and innovation from ? The whole world looks to us for walking around money . if we go they have to go to work on keeping their masses gruntled .
China has a rapidly aging population. We are already dead – just fighting over the corpse. I’m not sure who or what is the next power.
Dan, respectfully, you got to buck up. On any measure, my long-term money’s on USA vs CCP.
In the Bible it’s Gog, Magog, and Persia against Israel. Mystery Babylon is toast. Flash forward to Gog, Magog, and Persia being Russia, China, and Iran, with America as New Babylon.
God always spares a remnant. That’s us, as believers who remain faithful and remember that He is in charge – not our governments – which over history can get swatted like flies.
I never thought I’d see the runaway decline of the United States occur so swiftly. Yet here it is.
Watch and pray.
I am 100 per cent against this.
That bridge from fossil fuels to ‘green’ ‘clean’ fuels is a bridge to NOWHERE.
Energy is prosperity, and it is just not possible to provide the energy we use on the other side of that bridge.
And the energy on that side is quite unreliable. So unreliable that it will be useless.
The other side of that bridge will be like one of those dystopias where lights flicker and surge and nothing works right.
Hell on earth. Sudden poverty for all but the elite living on the fossil fuels that they deny us.
Famine. We use fossil fuels to grow, process and transport food.
Medicine will revert back to 1900. Everything is now energy based. Even getting those pills you need.
Hope you enjoy walking. But they will use fossil fuels in their tanks and helicopters to suppress you.
Good luck with heating and air conditioning.
Maybe the bridge to HELL is a better description.
That is where their bridge will take us.
For more insights into Russia, Briks and their approach, I highly suggest a well written article in todays AmericanThinker, and its accompanying bibliography.
“Why Briks and MINT might save Russia, and sink the U.S.” by Robert Oscar Lopez.
He details, and the additional material in the biblio support, that Russia has actually been preparing for this for at least a decade.
BRIKS is primarily an alternative to the World Bank, and IMF.
BRIKS offers development loans to “3rd World Countries” without the onerous andself serving demands of the IMF, and has made major inroads.
As an aside, we have long heard “3rd World countries” and Western Europe, Aus, Canada, New Zealand and U.S. are”first World”,…ever wonder WHO is “second World”?
Its RUSSIA, along Countries like Brazil.
Anyway, point of the articleis that Russia has NOT been caught at all unprepared for this is move by “the West”; it has in fact been preparing for it, for over a decade.
They have made a lot of ‘allies’ in the “3rd World” and the U.S. has made a lot of enemies who have tolerated the abuse from the U.S., but with seething resentment.
I am still “rootin for Putin”; I don’t know what a victory for Putin will look like, but I do know what a victory for WEF will look like,..and I honestly don’t believe the latter is possible.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/04/why_brics_and_mint_might_save_russia_and_sink_the_us.html
Win or lose, I don’t see how the West avoids its fate?
One can see, yet again, the infinite wisdom of Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and other founders for their perspicacity in establishing independent relationships with the Dutch, Germans, Swiss and Russians at a time when Britain, France and Spain were shedding blood and treasure over the New World and our potential wealth. Our fledgling movement could very easily have been devoured and ravaged in the epochal imperial battles between England, France and Spain. God bless our Founders for not totally jumping into bed with the French and their ability to thread the needle to achieve independence. Patriots today need to do something similar with respect to the camps described by Sundance.
Go Brics, go.
Y’awl keep poking that Bear.
See what it gets you.
The highly uneducated midget known as Sean Penn supports the US using nukes to defend Ukraine – mental midget doesn’t seem to understand just how many nukes Russia has – and where they will go.
Everyone should have a back up plan,Putin is no fool. Thanks Global elitist front man Klaus and your western government lieutenants great job,whats your back up plan World war three?
Anyone want to venture odds on whether or not Schwabb/WEF, under a deep, deep, deep forensic audit, could be found to have been funded by USSR-related interests?
Respectfully…
On one side we have Biden, Obama and AOC, on the other we have 2/3rds of the world. Chose wisely.
I am putting this here as it is about Ukraine and IMHO “everything Ukraine” is being used to justify the extension of the NWO appendage known as NATO . . .
so I find it an interesting parallel: we don’t know WHAT’S in that UAV from Russia –
we don’t know what are in the vaccines the NWO has been – and continues to do so – force upon people –
so before y’all want to impress on me and scare me about the Russians and poison, I want to know more about the poisons in the vaccines –
don’t change the subject! 🙂
(I know you are trying to but don’t – it’s all going to come out anyway)
(oops – almost – accidentally – tried to upvote my own comment when I meant to hit reply – just in case anyone noticed that)
So, I thought I ought to look up what UAV means – it means “unmanned aerial vehicle”
that would be like a drone – or IS a drone –
but I was thinking there was something I read somewhere connected with vaccines that was called a “UAV” – some kind of a name for the hypodermic?
This came up in my search – Pfizer talking about delivering vaccines by UAV –
just thought that was interesting –
and wondering, would Ukraine be appreciative if Russia sent them some Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines by way of UAV?

Marx always said there would be a period of instability when transitioning from one system to another. I think Lenin referred to it as “breaking a few eggs.” Why would the “elite” care if people get hurt transitioning from oil to wind, sun and pixie dust? They’ll always have enough for themselves and the ideologues who don’t? They get to feel their own form of religious revival. They get to feel like they’re doing something for the “common good.” I was born in 1966, the shadow of World War Two when America was on top of the heap. My younger years were pretty carefree with America still a place that people looked to for some guidance. Never did I think I would live at a transition point in history yet, here I am. Watching America be ground into dust and rebuilt in the image of a group of 60’s radicals who have been polluting the world since they were born. Who knew that people the likes of Bill Ayers would come so close to seeing their dreams come true?? It’s grotesque to watch and I can only hope that enough Americans see what’s happening. Sadly, “the long march through the institutions” has bled us white. Makes you feel like the last guy at The Alamo.
I think the only satisfaction that I can look forward to is when I see all of the leftist useless idiots get what they so stupidly were conned in to. It won’t be like they were promised.
Uhmm, I think Finland and Sweden want into NATO for protection.
From who?
Here’s a Sen. Joe Biden in 1997 dismissing Russia’s security concerns w/ NATO expanding. When told by the Russians they might ally themselves w/ China, Biden – to guffaws of laughter – says good luck.

*** “In the U.S., people have wondered why suddenly a major section of the Republican establishment have aligned with the position of the WEF, UN, NATO, World Bank, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, etc.” ***
.
The R party has been with the globalist blob since the Cold War ended. Open borders, foreign war and “free trade” corporatism is their holy grail. This isn’t sudden in the slightest. The blob has been expanding NATO for 3 decades.
Finland better think twice though. Parking US nukes in Finland won’t be received well, anywhere, least of all Finland. The blob is trying to bum rush them into it. Russia’s military isn’t strong enough to act big there, but they could bring trouble somehow.
But yeah, this is all about the petrodollar, as I suspected 6 months ago. We need to be shot of this curse. Whatever pain we get, it’s the only way we can regain our liberty here.
And we earned our pain, voting for open borders, war forever, “our” multinational corporations, and all the rest these past 3 decades. And if you’ve been voting blindly for that little R because it was so much better than their little D clones, you voted for this now required pain. Heck, our votes don’t even matter now.
But they will after this petrodollar ends, interest rates skyrocket, and inflation and budget cuts take root. We can drag these scumbags out of office then.
I think they don’t want intermediate energy, they want us to get hurt, good and hard. And either way, whether Russia wins or not, we are done as an economic power. We will be cut down to size, as Obama put it.
If Republicans “win” in the fall it won’t matter. Everything is rigged now. If the Globalists could create their own base on the moon they would.
Barring the supernatural, it’s all over.
The only way out would be a revolution, but the odds are the right people wouldn’t be in charge when it is over.
I had to turn off Maria B on Sunday after a steady stream of war mongering Repubs spoke. I found myself saying “Thank God Biden is president”. THAT scared me, lol.
The separation of the two feet of iron and clay has begun. East and west, as it were.
The Dollar and the Euro must die first to bring the digital currency in. That currency equals feudalism and tyranny.
Well, Finland already has a pretty strong relationship with NATO.

They also have some really really really good garden tools that they make (such as the Valmet arms), and lots and lots and lots of shiny new US stuff in their toolbox. They also have their own nitro plants and make some high end precision components for small arms (Lapua, Vihtavouri, Norma). Their stuff is so far above the level of the Russian garbage that is being shot at gangsters, both in the Ukes and here at home, that’s it’s pathetic. Bottom line is that the Fins are no Ukes.
They also have conscription for all young folks (who are nose diving into leftism following the Swedish model of extreme stupidity), and some of those dudes are real good at things. There are also reservists all over the place just itching to fly back and fight Ivan, essentially similar to the Civilian Guard during the Winter and Continuation wars.
Ivan is also scared sh_tless of their air assets.
This is more of a political puffery act than anything else, but the kids will vote on it, so, it’s their dime. They already elected a woman who is an total embarrassment to their proud history.
And, Gonzalo Lira calls the Fins “Bitches” which may be valid at this point in time. Time will tell. It’s not as though we’re that righteous anymore.
One final point. There is no way in hell that the US or the EU wants to have their so-called “super duper” weapons totally defeated by Ivan. Given their performance so far in Gangsterland (and NATO stuff is flying all over there) the over/under for Ivan’s equipment coming out on top is not what OUR military industrial complex wants to see. That’s what drives our GDP, so, it would be a shame if that stuff got a bad reputation.
Tell Sweden to sit on their hands and keep their mouth shut before they look like they want to fight for the first time . These pacifist bankers hold a lot of dirt and bloody money .
Some interesting history here.
First, without Swedish Iron Ore being shipped to Germany, there is NO WWII in Europe. German Iron Ore was and still is of such low quality that magnitudes more tons have to be mined to match the content of Swedish Ore. Germany has NO STEEL to make weapons. Sweden also shipped other key minerals to Germany as well during WWII.
Second, with respect to Finland Russia did not help themselves by invading Finland in 1939 and then agreeing with Germany to divide Poland in 1939. Yet, in return for some recovered territory Finland had no problem holding their noses to allow Germany to cross Northern Finland in 1941-42 to attempt an advance on Murmansk as well as to provide the Northern Cap to the German siege of Leningrad, 1941-43.
Third, Russia has pretty much left Sweden and even Finland alone after WWII.
It is also highly dubious and suspicious that Sweden has decided to abandon their ages old neutrality with respect to European Armed conflict to join NATO. A little further look back into history and one sees the Swedish Empire of Charles XXII included healthy portions of Russia, until about 1720. Point being Sweden has not been the lily clean neutral and since 1720 Russia has never threatened them.
Russia did none of those things you list because Russia is only 30 years old. Russia is not the USSR. Putin is a Christian and has restored many of the churches (Russian Orthodox) demolished by the communists when the USSR was communist. At one stage Russia wanted to join the EU. Russia considers itself a European nation. It is the USA that is the criminal. Why has the US encircled Russia with biolabs? Why does the US have hundreds of military bases around the world when Russia has two? Who is the aggressor here?
I think you need to go back and study who the actual communist were. Study the Bolsheviks…dig deeper. Look into the occupied governments of the west.
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
War is Peace
It is hard to understand the contrary aims of the WEF: on the one hand, control of the entire world (Globalism); on the other, elimination of the hydrocarbon energy foundation of the modern world. The only conclusion I can come to is that the WEF Globalists are entirely deluded: They believe their utopian vision of a World Government requires the sacrifice of Global Energy to placate the Planet God (Gaia).
In this respect they are suffering from Popular Delusion, similar to that of the Khoxa Bushmen of South Africa, who sacrificed their source of wealth (all their cattle) in a form of Cargo Cult, led by a teenage Prophetess, who insisted it would bring them riches and power like those of the Europeans.
We listen to the Globalists at our great peril.
And just like that…CHina sends military material to Serbia.
Take that NATO!
How do you like WMD in your porch swing?
I was wondering how long it would be before China ‘chimed in’
You sometimes write about the view from 10,000 ft above the scene. Well, let’s put it in even simpler terms – a view from low earth orbit, so to speak.
The power players of the world know that mankind goes through cycles of breeding madly followed by war, disease, or famine. It happens constantly. And in every instance, the power players will lose power, if not their lives. This WEF push is an effort to wield a global catastrophe manually, so that the peons are wiped-out as usual, but the power players retain their status. Will it be via covid? Nuclear war? Famine? Yes! All of these are mechanisms to be deployed. The ultimate goal is to let the population be culled without any loss of status along the way.
Do you think one of the many reasons they unleashed covid on us, was to kill off weak and elderly people to cut out a lot of gov. cost?
Fiat money versus gold standard. The woke west loses.
So much for Putin resurrecting the Russian empire…
The only empires expanding over the last three decades are The European Union and NATO.
That is the bigger conflict.
WEF -vs- BRICS over trade currency….
…. is also NATO -vs- Russia
…. is also Climate Change -vs- Oil use.
…. is also Globalism -vs- Nationalism
…. is also Feudalism -vs- Freedom
And the ultimate conflict…
Zionism -vs- everything
Go back to WWI and the Balfour Declaration and work your way forward to our current state of affairs. Dig deeper into why and how the US got into every war and conflict it has. Dig into every coup d’etat staged by the US. Look into the 2014 coup in Ukraine. The same people that staged that coup are the same people that brought us 20 years of war over “weapons of mass destruction”. They are the same people that have provoked what is happening in Ukraine today. Who is this new world order? Who are the globalist bankers? Who owns almost all of western media. Come on people…the answer is right in front of your face. Just dig a little deeper.
BRAVO Sundance!
Thank you for this post Sundance.
No one was a bigger patriot
than myself and for that matter my entire family.
But this not the America I can be proud of, I’m beyond tired of its filth and corruption.
Furthermore, I’m ashamed of America the role it has played in world governments the last 100 years.
Somehow I missed this yesterday. Well outlined SD. We are in the fight of our lives and not sure either outcome is a win. I have to root for a break of the West’s hegemony. We have become to cocky and too crazy. If Putin & Xi fail to pull this off it’s going to awful tough for Patriots to beat a system that has unlimited currency (digital only soon) to throw at the any problem. They are a monopoly and if they succeed freedom fails.
