TWEEDLE DEE OR TWEEDLE DUMB… the multi-trillion-dollar question!

Disclaimer… this rant is not an attempt to win any friends nor to influence people… it is simply my 2 cents worth from the South Seas in the hope that it might pose some vital questions that very much need answering. It even highlights a potential happy ending… how very novel.

So here we go then… talk about throwing the cat amongst the pigeons… and remember there is a scroll function if this is not what you want to hear.

IMO the collective visions of the late Lyndon LaRouche actually provide solutions for more than 90% of our current global problems. We are clearly at a critical juncture just as humanity was back in 1933 when the Bankers Conference was held in London. This was an exceedingly poorly disguised plot to get rid of individual national sovereignty and to further consolidate the banking dictatorship centred in the City of London, and of course its proxies mostly centred on Wall Street.

Sixty-five nations attended [interestingly there are currently ~63 paid-up members of the BIS] and it was an initiative that supposedly was about global recovery from the Great Depression. Of course, FDR torpedoed the charade when he withdrew the entire US delegation and the whole cunning plot was severely hindered.

Roosevelt arguably, and at least temporarily, saved the world from that Banking coup and at the same time broke up the Wall Street banking cartel and jailed hundreds of individuals who were key figures in orchestrating the great crash in the first place. He also installed key personnel in the Federal Reserve, forcing them to make capital available for small and medium-sized businesses by taking back the control of issuing credit from this privately owned institution.

This included making huge amounts of capital available for infrastructural programs like the Hoover Dam, The Tennessee River Program, and of course the St Lawrence Seaway… these projects helped carry the US economy out of the doldrums and into a new era in which long-term economic wealth was created for the good of the entire nation. Capital made available for projects like this increases the money supply but it is not in the least bit inflationary as all this money circulates in the real economy and doesn’t concentrate in the hands of a few kleptocrats to be used again to bspoeculatively blow more bubbles.

And yes believe it or not, once upon a time the Western World did actually have Statesmen that had the interests and the well-being of their nations at heart. Most were eventually shot [or poisoned] but at least they did exist!

Putting aside what is going down at Mar-a-Lago right now, Trump has constantly proven to me that he is no Statesman by any stretch of the imagination. In hindsight perhaps if he had possessed the presence of mind to pardon LaRouche and put a stop to the incarceration and slow killing of Assange, then some good karma might just have eventually filtered his way. Having said that he may well have paid a heavy price… such is the long arm of Mr Global.

The true statesmen in Western politics such as the FDRs and the Kennedys are long gone. Look no further than the dangerous lunatics and fundamentalist rapturous religious nutjobs that Trump surrounded himself with in cabinet and in his war room, for recent proof of this tragic reality.

IMO Trump consistently displays an infantile sense of history ond diplomacy… as such he will never ride a white horse, let alone actually come to the rescue of Mainstreet. As far as I’m concerned he unceremoniously fell heavily from his horse the moment he arrived at the big old house on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. He would no doubt have had the obligatory visit, a timely reminder of who actually bailed him out of financial ruin, and not-so-subtle references to the well-being his entire family.

Also, do any of us still recall which country was his first state visit in office, and even more to the point, the main purpose of that trip? So too whilst in office, he never so much as lifted a finger to help Assange who was the main reason why he became POTUS in the first place… by exposing HRC for the psychopathic criminal hag that she was. This appalling backstabbing behaviour, all on its own reveals to me that Trump is little more than a soul-less conniving oaf.

In my view Trump’s Uncle Sheldon MIGA [Make Israel Great Again] agenda was glaringly obvious from day one, not to mention his allegiance to the Wall Street Banks who had bailed him out of ruin on more than one occasion. Look no further than the reverse repo debacle in August 2019 to see that he was all about protecting the thieving private banking cabal, and at the same time allowing Mainstreet to be unceremoniously thrown under the bus.

This chicanery was well hidden though as 99.9% of Mainstreet would have a single clue as to what a reverse-repo even was… let alone the Special Purpose Vehicles created that allowed these thieving cartels to move toxic debt off their balance sheets and give the appearance of some degree of solvency.

Given these realities, I regard anyone pinning their hopes on Trump as being some kind of saviour for humanity as constituting a very forlorn strategy indeed. Most of his actions I have witnessed are at best haphazard, and at worst, barely removed from classic swamplike behaviour.

He is even still maintaining bragging rights as the “Father of the Warp-Speed mRNA” clotshots… this just simply beggars belief… this alone I would have thought should destroy any lingering semblance of his credibility forever.

As utterly repulsive as Biden and the Demos are, I was certainly not shattered that they ‘won’ the election because it was my view all along that they would very quickly blow the entire Zone A financial construct to smithereens and in so doing reveal just how utterly despotic this entire charade is… and for all the entire world to see.

This demolition has already past the point of no return and the upshot now is the headlong rush [~90% of the globe based on a population] has already signalled its intention to join the BRIICS+ BRI initiatives, banking/currency models, and trading instruments.

If Trump had remained as POTUS I’m sure the Western Kleptocracy could have dragged on indefinitely, perhaps even for another 109 years, as its true despotic nature would have been partly shrouded by the likes of his bumbling actions… at least for another four years anyway, and judging by the appalling standard in the last two decades of POTUS then almost indefinitely… or at the very least until the economy completely imploded, which is an absolute mathematical certainty anyway.

Thank god though HRC never won in 2016, as she would have had major wars stoked almost immediately. The problem would have been at that stage that even Russia and China combined were still not organised enough to effectively snuff out Natostan’s complete intended hegemonic takeover and its accompanying highly planned financial reset.

I see the Mr Global agenda, along with a completely degenerate kleptocracy, as being so totally embedded in the US culture and political landscape today, that there is no longer any future hope for that country other than to endure complete disintegration and to hope that something functional might subsequently rise up out of the smouldering ashes.

This scenario would have to include a breakup of the Federal Reserve CB system and probably a succession of different states to attain functional sovereignty. Although clearly, this would be tremendously painful and destructive in the transition, this meltdown would be on balance a positive in the long run, for both Americans and humanity as a whole.

I am tremendously excited about the emergence of the new Zone B alliance, especially given its huge momentum since Putin’s masterstroke financial put, and in dealing with the Ukraine debacle. This has the makings of a renaissance of humanity, both financially and socially, unlike anything in our global history.

Here is a copy and paste of part of a recent essay I did on this subject and looking into some real numbers that illustrate just how fundamentally [“fund” pun?] broken the current Zone A system actually is.

… beginning of C &P…

Perhaps then we need to look at a few very sobering numbers that tell us that the present model, where fiat money is created as debt by a global cartel of private banks, is a crazed zombie that will do humanity an enormous favour when it finally crashes and burns.

Here is a list of what I call Zone A or Natosatan club members and I have listed those that show over 300% Govt debt/GDP ratio. This is based on Govt debt [both external and internal added together]. Most of these, except perhaps Greece, will be a complete surprise to anyone that laps up MSM-type dis-information. Note too that history tells us that once a country approaches the realms of 100% Govt Debt: GDP then it is almost impossible to escape a debt death spiral without some form of external rescue or jubilee.

ZONE A [The Natostan Club] these are clearly all basically zombie economies at these debt levels…

Ireland 776%
Greece 589%
Netherlands 520%
UK 388%
Belgium 360%
Japan 350%
France 350%
Italy 300%

ZONE B [BRIICS+] as a comparison…

India 96%
China 72%
Taiwan 70%
Russia 60%
Indonesia 63%

By comparison, the US’s Govt debt is ~94% of GDP [depending of course on who you actually believe]. The real problem for their economy however is the truly staggering total liability per citizen which last time I looked at the debt clock was $511,000 per citizen. And from memory, this figure works out at ~$800,000 per tax-payer. This figure of course includes social security liability, medicare, and unfunded liabilities.

NZ sits at a relatively modest figure of 46% GD: GDP. However, our internal debt is absolutely crippling going forward now with a combination of rising inflation, interest rates,and massive increases in all essential living expenses and no effective fiscal or monetary tools available to address the problem.

I can’t find the figure for Chinese debt per person including internal debt but if you look at their per capita national debt it is 15x lower than Japan’s and 11x lower than the US.

The top 10 countries ranked by national debt per person are all part of the Natostan club with Japan and the US filling the two highest positions [ 2 of the top 3 countries by GDP in the world] and all of the other positions except for Canada and UK are filled by EU members. The EU is in total disarray already and with its number one economy Germany basically being instructed to commit financial hare-Kari by its occupier, it will be the EU that will be one of the biggest cot cases in this impending systemic meltdown.

The grim reality here is that 5 of the 7 of these nations ranked by national debt per person are ranked in the top GDP countries of the world… the exceptions of course being China and India. Add to this the fact that the total global debt of the world is 353% of GDP [ at ~$300 trillion] and the collective global economy is a complete train wreck.

In terms of PPP* GDP China actually overtook the US GDP back in 2014 and now stands at ~$30 trillion compared to the US at $20 trillion. Of course, no one wants to admit that least of all the UN, the IMF or the WB who habitually make up all manner of whopping lies in which they can’t even agree on the figures between themselves. I would have thought they would have coordinated their fictitious figures… but no they can’t even do that!
*[Purchasing Power Parity]

And how about some good news then just to finish off with? Well, actually it just so happens that there is a rescue model right under our noses. It simply involves kicking the global kleptocratic private banking cabal in the guts which in turn disenfranchises the FED, BOJ, BOE, BIS, IMF, the WB and their financial stranglehold on the global economy.

It is a replacement system where money is not created out of thin air as debt, but instead where currencies are created that are backed by a multitude of tangible assets, and where the financial kleptocrats of the world are once and for all rendered completely irrelevant.

…end of copy and paste…

True the transition for the developing countries will also be tremendously destructive as many of the here-to low interest rate loans were denominated in US dollars. In the ensuing mayhem and because the US dollar will actually strengthen, at least temporarily in relation to their currencies, there will be a huge burden placed on them if they attempt to pay back the principle. Methinks they should simply default, wait for the majority of the international community to do likewise, and then declare them illegitimate and cynically predatory in the first place.

And the good news… the new model is already here… right there under our noses in fact, and ready for any country in the world to join up. And the one simple rule to qualify… just play nice… that’s it!!!

What is the essence of this so-called ‘new’ model?… well quite frankly it is almost exactly the Larouche vision and it even contains William Gilpin’s dream of a trans-global land bridge stretching all the way from Calais/Lisbon to New York.

An economic renaissance that could improve the future wealth of the entire world is in the making… all we have to do as individual States is reach out and embrace it.
What’s not to like?!

There is no greater dragon to slay than the dragon of fear.

The Dragon of Fear

Come hither, worm, and show thy face,
Renounce thy convoluted coil!
The crown of wonder you would displace
And my native joy, despoil.

Come, don your dark and baleful wings
And sow thy blights both far and wide;
And in the sickness of all things
Regale the tyrant and his bride.

Come, demon of the battlefield,
Hovering o’er the blood-soaked sward;
Where fighting kings and princes yield –
Take heed my freshly burnished Sword!

Come, o hydra, what good are heads,
Multiplied by powers of ten?
Thy spectres thrive on naught but dread
And haunt the sovereign dreams of men.

Come, pestilence of mind and heart,
And know that only Death misgives;
Of despair you’ve made an art,
That twists and blackens all that lives.

Come, sullen trickster, do confess,
That when of doubt we’re finally clear;
The weight of thy own nothingness
Before the sunburst disappears!

to The Saker: what do you think about the statement of Ruslan Pekhov (a Russian so-called defense expert) saying that Russia doesn’t have modern warfare equipment to stand Western NATO deliveries for warfare in Ukraine ? He says in “Spiegel Ausland” (a German weekly newspaper) that Russia doesn’t have modern GRPS-System to guide its military nor does the Russian military have modern warfare vehicles.
Do you think he is right ? and what do we have to expect ? Thanks a lot for some clarification as the “warfare against Russia in mass media” is extreme here in Europe.

Cause for concern in his last point ( I hope he turns out to be wrong)

Former Brigadier-General in the Singapore Army, Foreign Minister & Cabinet member of 21 years) George Yeo

On Taiwan : “[Our] One-China policy goes back [to the] mid-70s. … If there is a war over Taiwan, Singapore will not be involved. I don’t believe the policy has changed”

“For the Chinese in Singapore [74% of the population], do a poll: ‘Do you think Taiwan should be independent?’. I think the majority will say ‘No’. And if SG’s government says ‘we support Taiwan independence’, I think the government will face political problems domestically”.

On US-China : China is happy to let the US weaken itself by playing world’s policeman: “The Chinese know that … there is no profit in interfering in other people’s affairs. Sooner or later [the US] will learn this lesson which we learned painfully more than 2,000 years ago.”

To him, “the greatest uncertainty in the world today is US politics” because “America has not been so divided since the Civil War” and “every institution has been weaponized and politicized”. This is even more worrying than US-China relations.

On China’s Zero-Covid : He believes was a winning strategy: “If you leave aside Western media reports, China during Covid was the least damaged economy in the world. Least damaged! They continue to grow and in fact their manufacturing expanded, their exports grew!”

Westerners assume the lockdowns in China were a new strategy but Yeo explains that it’s actually “the traditional way in China to handle epidemics” which goes back hundreds of years. And adds that even imperial palaces were organized on that basis.

On why China’s direction changed under Xi Jinping : Yeo predicts “it has challenges not seen in a hundred years” which means he assumes the US will attack China, so it needs to “be able to repel the attack”. Yeo believes it’s “a matter of life or death” for China.

I used to believe that the 3 Baltic midgets should be independent. That including them again in the RF would be a problem for the RF to digest. I still basically still think that. But there are some changes needed.

1. The Russian language and Orthodox eastern areas of Estonia and Latvia need to be separated from those 2 pro-nazi states and annexed to the RF. Those 2 states have through their pro-nazi Russophobia lost the right to have those territories any longer.The mistreatment of their minority can’t continue to be tolerated.

2. The pro-nazi Russophobia of their regimes can’t be tolerated any longer. The rump states remaining will need to be regime changed. Demilitarized and denazified,and pro-Russian governments put in place.

3. Lithuania has no territory that is ethnic Russian that would need to be separated. Though some questions might be asked about whether all the territory they gained after WWII from the Soviet largess,they are worthy of keeping. But either way a regime change to remove a Russophobic regime,and a demilitarized and denazified, pro-Russian government put in place is a must.

Those states have shown themselves to be,by their locations,and actions. Too great a security threat to the RF to be permitted to operate as enemies of Russia and Russians any longer. The Kaliningrad problem,the mistreatment of Russian minorities,their aggressive pro-NATO actions,and now the nazi ideas coming out of Latvia. Shows clearly that they have sealed their fate.And after the SMO in Ukraine is finished the next one needs to be in the Baltic region:

This cafe has forgotten, about our own life and every day and our beyond of ourselves after life, needing to be reflected in life.
Again the cafe has become another mini- ‘Saker’. I mentioned it again and again over the years: what happened to the soul today, this year? What does the collective soul
in us in a time, where true statsmen do a heavy human lifting on the planet?

Merely Dimitar’s poesy is leading through the mythic chamber of fear and horror, banning the monsters in poetry.

But the monsters are within us, deal with it.

“John Pordage, the English mystic and alchemist of the
XVII century says that “our inner Earth” and “our
inner heaven” are “tainted”, namely from peccatum
originale of luciferous hubris. Psychologically by this is
meant the collective guilt, i.e. we all have that fiery devil
within us, which in Germany has broken through, due to
the borderless unconsciousness and hubris of the
individual. It is a maniacal fate, which inexorable runs
its course and it would do also in us if we would break the
authority of compact and law in and with ourself. That
doesn’t hinder, that we constantly are circumblazed
by the flames of hell. All we have within and outside to
carry off of this guilt of unconsciousness.”

I deem astrology helps to reveal the factual poesy of a time.
