Steve St. Angelo discusses his thesis that we have fallen off of the Energy Cliff (e.g. Peak Oil), that "oil is it," and that there is no new source of energy to replace our current consumption needs, which means what awaits us is a never-ending global economic depression and a type of Mad Max scenario. He gives his take on the role of global elites, their interests in controlling what remains of global energy supplies, and the "New Bretton Woods" moment. He covers Shale Oil, the final frontiers of the Arctic and space, and explains that the idea renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind) can replace fossil fuel is a total Green Energy Myth. He looks at the promising future of gold and silver as stores of value and the questionable future of cryptocurrencies and even Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ozpgvArNW0

Professor Geoffrey Gresh joins us to discuss the strategic maritime shifts under way from Europe to the Indian Ocean and Pacific Asia and the race for great power status as the earth’s changing landscape is rapidly transforming Eurasia and thus creating a new world order. We talk Mackinder, Spykman, Mahan, and cover terrain and sea from Morocco and the Strait of Gibraltar to Djibouti's Bab el-Mandeb Strait to China's "String of Pearls" ports (e.g. Gwandar, Pakistan). We look at the merits of the "Thucydides Trap" argument, the "Asian Century", and the importance of the underwater submarine cables that countries use to connect themselves to the internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVo4ROBr_XY

Writer Robert Bridge discusses what it's like to expatriate from America and become a Russian citizen. He comments on the aspect of U.S. empire that bothers him most, which is its cultural hegemony and export of ideologies such as transgenderism and cultural Marxism (e.g. cancel culture, identity politics, social justice movement). He covers the tense "civil war" scenario the U.S. finds itself in amidst a still-undecided election and the totalitarian government responses to the COVID-19 "pandemic". Finally, he gives his view on the media landscape and extreme levels of censorship that are occurring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvuvL10xEf0

Bitcoiner and co-founder of "Bnk to the Future" Simon Dixon discusses the "New Great Depression" and the various iterations of a "New Bretton Woods" proposed by actors such as the IMF and WEF. He believes World War 3 will be fought with "Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction" (FWMDs) and that the future will be one of less privacy and more technocratic control as central banks roll out digital currencies and get rid of cash. However, he sees opportunity and hope in the crypto space. As all nations become more "socialist", he views the virtual crypto and FinTech space as the last remaining capitalist stronghold. His investment platform and Retirement Plan B can help you navigate the storms ahead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciueZiSLa_8

International Law professor Dr. Francis Boyle discusses the increasing potential for war with Iran, as provocations by Washington and Tel Aviv against Tehran could continue from now until Inauguration Day. President Trump could use war with Iran as a "wag the dog" scenario in order to continue on for a second term. War with Iran has already been planned by previous administrations, but after Afghanistan and Iraq, was put off to future presidents. The recent U.S. & Israeli assassinations of Iranian generals, commanders, and scientists as well as attacks on missile and nuclear facilities are attempting to provoke Iran into retaliating, which would then serve as a pretext for the U.S. to initiate war.

This could be the last opportunity by the Zionists to take Iran out, as Iran is the only remaining state in the Persian Gulf that doesn't do what the Americans tell them to do. He looks at the prospects of resurrecting the JCPOA and explains the Palestinian situation, how they are completely helpless and in dire straits as they've been abandoned and betrayed by most of the Arab world. Furthermore, Israel wants all of Palestine and they don't want any of the Palestinians there, and thus if war with Iran breaks out they face an existential situation. Finally, he discusses the Pentagon's endgame which is Russia and China: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5XhEnE8ry0

Research professor Dr. Miklos Lukacs discusses academic freedom and the roots of technocracy or techno-feudalism. This system is going global and China's “Social Credit” score forms only part of the picture. In the West, partners include Big Tech, Big Finance, Big Pharma, and their meeting points (e.g. World Economic Forum, Bilderberg). He takes a closer look at key partnerships between Bill Gates, Microsoft, and China, which began in the 1990s. He believes Big Tech and the globalists expected Hillary to win in 2016, and that the pandemic was part of a plan to remove Trump from office in 2020, in order to continue implementing the technocratic agenda now christened as The Great Reset. This system will greatly reduce many of our freedoms (e.g. mobility, economic activity, consumer options, thought police, smart cities). He ends with some thoughts on how to resist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvmMvQBjHAs

Retired defence analyst Patrick Armstrong discusses US-Russia relations, the Arctic, that NATO is really a "Paper Pussycat", and how Russia's military is extremely well prepared for conflict. He gives his thoughts on the reactions to COVID19 by Russia and China which seems to say they initially may have thought it to be a bioweapon, tied into their fear of the propensity for declining empires (e.g. United States) to start wars as they collapse. He also gives his take on the elections and internal discord paralyzing the United States which he takes to signal the end of empire, a "race between imploding and exploding, fusion or fission": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PGxPvK0Bw4

Forecaster Martin Armstrong says we are witnessing a deliberate attempt to take over the world through the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" which seeks to install global Communism 3.0. It merges three ideologies: Bill Gates being a symbol of the eugenics and depopulation program, George Soros' "Open Society" a key driver of the one-world government, and Klaus Schwab a Marxist at heart who has proclaimed that no one in the world will own anything anymore. The problem stems from the world's debt since WWII which no one planned to ever pay back and things have reached a point of no return. Politicians are deliberately using lockdowns to intentionally destroy global economies as they seek to strip the U.S. of its superpower status. President Trump is the only one currently standing in the way of this agenda, and if he is removed America's nuclear arsenal could be handed over to the UN. What follows is civil unrest culminating in world war, which could be initiated using a false flag attack on the internet or power grid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K6RwoA3EDs

Analyst Ryan Cristián (Last American Vagabond) discusses the contested U.S. election, fraud, and blockchain voting. We discuss false flag operations such as the FBI-led attempt to kidnap Michigan's governor and the idea that an EMP attack may be imminent. He believes COVID19 is an extension of the 9/11 attacks with the ultimate goal of bringing in a technocratic biosecurity state. He explains how every single aspect of the pandemic narrative is patently questionable (e.g. case numbers, masks, lockdowns). He also looks at the issues surrounding COVID19 vaccines (e.g. safety and DNA-alteration), contact tracing, quarantine camps, and how everything will tie together into a social credit system. We end with Big Tech censorship and how to resist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJX4SdAHxt8

Analyst Tom Luongo joins us to discuss the contested election and how the elites are fully committed to The Great Reset (e.g. they've turned BoJo in the UK). They are in the process of destroying the lower and middle classes and their vision of the future is a communist, dystopian, Brave New World-meets-1984 society. Tom calls out the EU technocracy as the real threat and enemy as opposed to China, Russia, or Iran. The Great Reset calls for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), a cashless society, and its implementation will accelerate if Trump wins reelection. Tom gives some practical pointers on how to best survive the attempt to push through The Great Reset because whether or not it succeeds, it will still be a time of great chaos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UcLXTypZsI

Dutch lawyer Charlie de Vreede discusses Julian Assange's extradition trial. She views the election as a battle between nationalism and internationalism and believes a Trump presidency would increase the chances of an Assange pardon. She discusses the unfair practices of the state against Assange such as the extradition case being pushed along yet lacking a criminal indictment, total surveillance of Assange and his defense team which would normally throw out a case, how the court proceedings have not been public, how the judge has been reading out previously written statements from a laptop, and how his treatment in prison can technically be considered torture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSiG9ZorwBE

Pedro Kuit has initiated an Extra Parliamentary Investigation Committee with expert witnesses against the authoritarian Covid-19 measures taken by the Dutch government, which he believes are all about power and money, and amount to a crime against humanity. He has modeled his committee on the successful inquiry initiated by Germans against their government, and this is being replicated and spread to other countries. If the government doesn't cease it's unscientific and undemocratic measures, he will take them to the highest court. Examples of witness testimony include how PCR tests are being fraudulently used for Covid-19 testing as they produce false-positives. YouTube blocked his channel from livestreaming so he had to set up his own costly website to livestream the proceedings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ3kwa87B3o

Renown forecaster Martin Armstrong discusses how global elites are using the pretext of a false pandemic to deliberately crash the economy in order to create "The Great Reset". The lockdowns are destroying small businesses and creating food shortages. The World Economic Forum is orchestrating the Great Reset in order to create a cashless society and communistic world where people will own nothing. He believes they are using bitcoin as a test run to see how it works and then they will replace it themselves because they won't allow competition. He believes that by 2027 we will see international war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19j2odiJgmo

Helen Buyniski discusses election fraud, Big Tech censorship, why a Biden victory would be more dangerous (e.g. COVID1984 lockdown), and why neither candidate may actually want to win since they'll be saddled with the fall of the empire. She believes Bill Gates will be true to his word and that a "Dark Winter" is further on up the road. She explains how the lockdowns are a giant asset-stripping scheme and why cities like New York will not recover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klHyT570Ro

Jim Jatras explains how America faces an existential moment as it is beset by a revolutionary regime and movement threatening to undo the republic. He also discusses foreign policy, NATO, U.S. regime change along the Russian hinterlands, and how greater military conflicts may ultimately be inevitable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEdi8PZHiSY

John Rubino explains why he thinks the 2020 election is the least important of our lifetimes. Aside from the political turmoil and talk of civil unrest, government policy will remain the same regardless of whoever wins the presidency, the winner will have to steer the same ship of insolvency and money printing and have to deal with Great Depression 2.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGg6bI5qXvc

Journalist Kristinn Hrafnsson discusses the corrupt partisanship of the mainstream media and how they are lapdogs for the establishment. He gives an update on the Julian Assange case, the severe mistreatment of Assange and his case, and what a Biden vs. Trump presidency would mean for Assange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqASVrQ0I5Y

Geopolitics & Empire together with Potkaars Podcast are conducting a LIVESTREAM tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3rd starting 8pm Eastern Time (New York/Washington) and going until midnight. We will have a large number of guests talking about everything from Assange and Trump/Biden to COVID1984. The stream will be available afterward on all our channels if you can't be there live: https://potkaars.nl/blog/2020/11/03/election2020

Finnish economist Tuomas Malinen explains the nature and severity of the historic global financial crash underway. He foresees worst-case scenarios which can even include "widespread hunger and rationing in the western world for the first time since the 19th century." As the Eurozone risks disintegration and China fakes its recovery, he worries about the real possibility of global hyperinflation and monetary destruction. The greatest risk is "Global Financial Socialism" brought about by central banks and supranational organizations (e.g. IMF, World Bank, UN) which could bring about a fascist and totalitarian "global economic dystopia". This "financial takeover" or "endgame of the global elite" would include a surveillance state, digital currencies, the end of commercial banks, and the end of cash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prWLWZN7_rM

Venezuelan-American political operative Jose Niño gives his take on U.S. foreign policy and a coming geopolitical reset. We look at Venezuela today as well as the Latin Americanization of the U.S., escalating violence surrounding the elections, and the slide towards technological serfdom regardless of who wins the election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KDzIJUKY9A

Alasdair Macleod explains why he thinks the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies have already entered into the stage of hyperinflation and that central banks have reached the end of the road. He doesn't believe Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will gain traction and thinks the dollar is toast. He gives his take on the geopolitical US-China dynamic, including potential for military conflict, and tells why gold is a great hedge in this situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5azrsTL2Rxw

Douglas Valentine explains the 1960s CIA Vietnam torture and extermination program known as "Phoenix" which later went on to be perfected and deployed in war zones around the world after 9/11 and which has come home to roost in the United States through the creation of a permanent surveillance and police state under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, Fusion Centers, NSA bulk data collection, and numerous other programs. He explains how both political parties are two sides of the same coin and how the pandemic has advanced the interests of the security state: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slokw-j9fuc

Alex Krainer discusses the state of the economy and how the pandemic is an agenda driven by the world’s banking cartel to install a global totalitarian regime, with a cashless society being a core feature of this new order. He believes elites may seek to create diversions such as war with China-Russia-Iran and that what we are currently experiencing is humanity’s defining, existential, and historic struggle between the forces of good and evil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiJscpGllmE

Author James Howard Kunstler discusses the end of the world as we know it and how the thinking class has gone nuts. He faults our unsustainable energy policies and how the "shale revolution" has only served to extend and pretend the collapse of the oil-based economy and the unviable nature of suburbia. Neither will the"alt-energy freak show" of renewables and EVs save us. He covers food production, the electric grid, and  feels we are on the cusp of an economic dam ready to burst and that beyond the election anything is possible (e.g. impasse, civil war). He comments on the Jacobin "wokester" cancel culture and identity politics movement and looks at ways we can adapt to the "long emergency": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdPeYL14gtU
