Global news recap

Let's do a brief recap on recent news because I can't sleep anyway. The US proxy war against Europe, known in the mainstream media as the war in Ukraine, is proceeding at pace. Tensions are rising across the continent, either directly or indirectly related to the war in Ukraine with protests and labor action in multiple countries. In Germany, in Switzerland, in Austria, in The Czech Republic, there have been popular protests against their country's involvement in the Ukraine war. Protests against NATO.

Protests against anti Russian sanctions. In France, there have been nationwide protests against the government's decision to raise the retirement age, which is part of the neoliberal austerity program that is part and parcel of the plan to subjugate Europe by the owners and controllers of global financialized capital. Workers are threatening to shut down the entire French economy and protesters are being met with police violence. In Athens, Greece, there have been massive protests against the government over a recent train wreck that exposed the state's negligence for safety. Also due to the government's acquiescence to neoliberal economic reforms.

There have been US backed protests in Georgia against a bill in parliament that would require organizations in the country that receive foreign funding to be listed on the register with those protests of course being led by US funded organizations. Now the bill is being called by the protesters and by the US government and by the president of Georgia who is pro US. The bill is being called a Russian law despite the fact that it's a very normal protocol in most countries for organizations that receive foreign funding to be listed on a register of foreign funded organizations. In fact, they just passed a law in Canada requiring exactly that. But the point here is to create and to stir up anti Russian hatred within Georgia that can then be used to justify installing a puppet regime in Georgia loyal to The US.

There have been protests in Moldova as well despite the fact that Moldova has a pro western, pro European government. Protesters are being violently repressed and silenced. So why would The US or the owners and controllers of global financialized capital, why would they want to destabilize a pro Western government in Moldova? Well, because they would like to expand the Ukraine conflict to the Transnistria region, which would end up in the spilling of Moldovan blood. Now in order to get the population that's already not necessarily completely on board with the pro Western, pro EU agenda.

In order to get the Moldovan population to go along with that, you have to whip up internal conflict, internal hatred, internal hostility against descent and against Russians, and you have to create the conditions in the society that justify severe repression. If you recall, I've said many times that the Ukraine conflict will inevitably spill over across the region by design, and that's what's happening. Now the economic impact of the war on Germany continues to deteriorate as the country has fallen into recession. Many major companies in Germany are scaling back their operations, shutting down, or moving to The US. Energy prices for both industrial production and the common people have become unbearable.

Protests and strikes are erupting across the country in relation to the unsustainable cost of living. Now with reports that The US blew up the Nord Stream pipelines or that maybe Ukrainians did it, many Germanies are losing their sympathy for Ukraine. And many Germans feel that their government has been far too obsequious towards The US to the detriment of Germany while America is profiting. The public is increasingly expressing their discontent. In my opinion, this has always been an objective.

The deindustrialization, the destabilization, and the fracturing of Germany, and this project appears to be proceeding quite effectively. You can think of it this way. The German population is getting old. Their workforce is aging rapidly, and this is true across Europe. The owners and controllers of global financialized capital have made the calculation that euthanasia makes more sense than life support.

The continent of Europe can be at this point more profitable as a conflict zone. Now another major event recently was the announcement of the restoration of diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran in a deal, reportedly brokered by China. While I don't think that this will necessarily mean the end of conflict or tension or rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia, it's objectively a very positive development. And, you know, you can't help but notice that as American influence in The Middle East recedes, extremism recedes, diplomacy occurs, divisions subside, and pragmatic political relations ensue between neighbors. It's quite conspicuous.

I mean, if you look at a map of the combined political and economic influence being built by The UAE and Saudi Arabia in Egypt, in Jordan, in Iraq, in Lebanon, and now in Turkey, and potentially in Iran, as well as resuming relations with Syria. The Gulf states are establishing dominion across the region, and add to that the normalization of relations with Israel and the effective containment of European and American influence in the region, and you can't help but see that the Muslim states are organizing themselves in potentially very beneficial ways while the West is in full blown meltdown. Now there are a few things to mention about events in The United States, but let me just highlight the recent chatter about the possibility of The United States using military force against Mexican drug cartels inside of Mexico. This is being suggested under the pretext of the recent kidnapping of four Americans and I think the murder of at least three, maybe four, maybe all of them were murdered by Mexican drug cartels. But in my opinion, this potentiality has more to do with the American desire to set Mexico up as a manufacturing hub as they shorten their supply chains, their global supply chains, and this is a part of deglobalization.

They want their manufacturing hubs to be nearer to them, not in China, not in Asia, but right next door. And it also probably has to do with the recent nationalization by Mexico of their lithium industry. And it might even have to do with the legalization in Canada of selling cocaine. Needless to say, if America really does go to war with Mexico and goes to war with the Mexican drug cartels, the entire Southwest Of The United States is going to look like Iraq by 2030. So there's your current affairs wrap up for now.
