The Big-Dollar-Big-Bear Ruble Rumble

The battle between King Dollar and Tsar Ruble is on, and Russia’s efforts to dethrone the dollar have already lost. The ruble has already been knocked off its rickety wicker throne and has had its head kicked in. It’s just that brutal. King Dollar, on the other hand, hasn’t sat so tall in years.

US Baits ISIS to Stage False-Flag Chemical Attack to Justify Greater US Attack against Syria

What could be smellier and more tempting bait to get ISIS to launch a chemical-weapon attack than a US guarantee that “any” chemical weapon attack in Syria will be automatically blamed on Assad’s regime and will automatically result in the US attacking Assad and all of ISIS’s other enemies?

You Got Trumped! The Donald’s personal military revolution is just Trump change

Nowhere has Donald Trump matched up with the original story of the Trojan horse more than in his overtures of peace, instead of military conflict. Nowhere has Trump changed more than in these same issues. Candidate Trump frequently persuaded his supporters to believe he would build more peaceful and cooperative relations with Russia and ridiculed the regime-change efforts of Hillary’s […]

HILLARY’S WARS (Pt. 2): Wikileaks Proves Syria about Iran & Israel

Wikileaks’ exposure of Hillary Clinton’s emails reveals that US intrusion in the Syrian Civil War is really all about Iran and Israel and is part of a masterplan that started with Hillary’s advice to enter the Libyan Civil War. Hillary’s War is another expensive American adventure in nation building as the US inserts itself into another civil war, ostensibly to restrain ISIS […]

The Wars that are Killing Us Economically

I have always been an independent, politically, because I can barely stomach either party. (The mention of either word is like Ipecac syrup to me.) Long ago, I leaned […]

China’s & Russia’s Currency War on the Dollar

About a year ago, I said the Chinese economy would not crash, but that it would come in for a controlled landing as Beijing sought to lower it to a target of 7% growth — still excellent growth. So, there’s one I appear to have gotten wrong, given that China is starting to look like a train wreck. At […]

Reserve Currency : Russia and China have own reservations

Russia and China started backing out of U.S. bonds as a from of reserve currency shortly after the Great Recession began. This year I predicted that the conflict between the U.S. and Russia over Crimea would lead to Russia taking a much more aggressive role in offloading the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. The Crimean conflict would become significant […]
