Russian leaders keep dying from a peculiar Russian variant of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), known as Sudden Russian Death Syndrome. SRDS causes a critical loss of balance when high ranking Russian officials close to Putin are standing in high or dangerous places. Several deaths have been recorded in recent days alone. People who are […]

This was the year where it seemed everything imploded. For the economy, it started with two quarters of receding GDP that everyone refused to call a recession. Whether you stand with the crowd on that or not, it was certainly not a good change and was certainly a collapse of the economy toward a smaller […]

I want to share the following funny video by Russell Brand, which was in today’s Daily Doom, because it well expresses my overall and longstanding view on America’s endless imperial pursuit of neocon wars around the world in recent decades. Enjoy it before reading on about my views on Putin’s War, because this really is […]

The Old Age is over, and its welcome to the new, which is going to be little different – just a lot more complex. Thriving in a confused new economy of energy scarcity, inflation, recession and geopolitical threat isn’t easy – as the UK is about to discover.  by Bill Blain on Blain’s Morning Porridge: […]

The former Russian president is threatening the West with nuclear war over calls for an international tribunal over the invasion of Ukraine. As Russia invades other countries that never attacked it, slaughters hundreds of thousands of people over the years in endless efforts to rebuild its former empire, and is the only country on earth now […]

Writing is a tough balancing act, especially when you know a fair number of people in your regular audience are not likely to like what you write. That is made even more precarious in a world so far off balance that it is now dividing like an amoeba into Left and Right halves and cracking […]

The American people are being put in great danger by the false narrative on inflation and supply chains. The longer they’re led to believe the disaster will go away on its own, the less time they have to prepare. We’re facing a large and semi-chaotic disaster where people will be threatened with the loss of necessities like food […]

This article is part of series of economic predictions I am making about the remainder of the year. My patrons got the first part of the series. I’m going to make every other part available to all readers as I lay out the trends I see happening in the economic news that I read daily, […]

Putin just demonstrated his war in Ukraine has nothing to do with defensive concerns that NATO will attack Russia, upon which he has staked most of his case for his war in Ukraine, though his stated justifications have changed over time along with his goals. His statement this week reveals his war has far more […]

Where is the alternative press’s usual righteous indignation over censorship, imperialism and unjust war? Why so many apologists for Imperial Putin? I am deeply troubled by what I see in the alternative media in the US right now. It looks to me like loathing for the US government has become so blinding in its white-hot […]

I promised my two-part Patron Post would lay out how the war and all the global sanctions will likely bring profound shifts to the “world order,” altering and accelerating the path toward globalization and control. I realize that is the opposite of what many are saying; and, as we’re on the leading edge of this, […]
