NEW PODCAST! 🎙📡🇺🇸🇨🇳🕵🏻‍♂️

Economic Hit Man (EHM) John Perkins discusses his new book and how the Chinese have appropriated the EHM model for global takeover. He argues that the use of the EHM model by both the Anglosphere and Beijing is creating a death economy. He sees the New Cold War as a race to disaster. However, China’s model is different, it’s got a great growth story to tell, and it doesn’t impose draconian conditions like the West does. He discusses meeting luminaries such as Nursultan Nazarbayev and Sergey Glazyev and how colonial resentment is growing against the U.S. as Washington loses hegemony and China takes over. But this is all leading to a global death economy and we need to change the system. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2023/03/24/john-perkins-china-west-both-creating-death-economy

NEW PODCAST! 🎙📡🔋🔌💡🛢📉

Actuary and researcher Gail Tverberg discusses our energy problems and how we have an ever-growing population coupled with resources which are more and more difficult to extract. She believes “limits to growth” is a better way of looking at this problem as opposed to EROI. At some point the system binds up and that’s what we’re running into right now. The corona shut downs may have been an excuse to shut things down due to the collapsing economy and energy situation. Such a decline in a historical cycle brings revolution, disease, and famine. She worries about semiconductors and the world economy breaking into different pieces. Pax Americana can’t last forever and several countries are now getting together to take care of themselves. She has a hard time finding electricity sustainable, let alone cryptocurrencies. She doesn’t think far-flung wars are sustainable. Things are good as they’re going to be: https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2022/03/24/gail-tverberg-energy-limits-end-times

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
