Almost 8 billion people on this planet, and 99.99% or more would be happy to enjoy their lives in an egalitarian world with resources shared by all. But .01% or maybe way less (< ~ 800,000) control the current downward spiral of humanity. Does anyone believe the 99.99% will wake up in time to restore balance and cooperation? I don’t know, but bless folx like Caitlin for trying.

"We are going to have to find a way to move into collaboration-based systems with each other, with other nations, and with our environment. This way of living on this planet is utterly unsustainable." Could not agree more with you Caitlin, only I fear our time has already run out. The Earth must rid herself of our menace.

Bankrolling all sides of wars is great for business, as long as you can keep the wars ongoing. Hot or cold, there's gold in them there wars, and all the banksters know and capitalize on it.

The gullible public has been marionette-ed into following super-dupers off cliff edges, marching off to, yet another, bankrolled by our money that was usury-ed by the banksters, endless war.

Just more loosh for the humanity mill.

They only like democracy if the votes go towards the uniparty.

The law of averages teaches us that if you play Russian Roulette often enough, the likelihood that you will fire a live round approaches 100%.

Caitlin, this may be a small distinction, but the "new world order" or world empire is not exclusively led by the US. It was, after all, Belgium and Holland that invented Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), which was central to "free trade," TPP and TTIP. The globalist imperialists want the empire led by corporatists in both the US and EU, not just Wall Street, but including the City of London, Paris and Brussels. Many US-ans on both "left" and "right" oppose globalism and "free trade" because it has led to US de-industrialization, and the funding of the Western Imperial Military almost exclusively with US dollars, which as a consequence is threatened with destruction through hyperinflation.

🎶Old Macron-ald has a farm-E U EE! I OWE-and on this farm he has some Sheep- E U EE! I OWE-with a baaad debt here, baaad death there-here a debt, there a death, everywhere debt and death-Old Macron-ald has a farm-E U EE! I OWE🎶 Sorry to be so repetitive, but rhyming with Weimar is beyond my ken. Once Joe von Bidenburg and Antony von Papen yield to Adolf Obomber and Lina Rifenuland, a whole new set of peers for Speers and gerbils for Goebbels will broaden the poetic perspective for this pathetic performer. “Laughing or crying, it’s the same release.” i prefer to laugh, it saves on tissues. Ms. Johnstone, you are brilliant.

I've got to admit that as a kid growing up with Star Trek, the idea of a world united under a Federation of Planets seemed feasible and appealing. Of course, that's what good science fiction does. But the ongoing censorship, lies, and violence inherent in the American approach to government show that pursuing such a path would result in anything but utopia. If conflict is a reflection of human nature, then resisting injustice and calling out bullshit certainly is as well.

There is one way to destroy the US creditability in the World and in the US itself and that is for the 'Crime of the Century' i.e. 9/11 Twin/Towers to be properly investigated which it never was. Although much of the evidence was hastily removed, but common sense knows that aircraft fuel does not melt steel. This was a perfect demolition job carried out by and under the cloak of the security squad that had the security contract giving them all the access and time to operate. Suffice to say that the security men were certainly not Moslem, the 'False Flag', of the century.

The excellent expose by Christopher Bollyn ' The War on Terror' explains it all.

Would someone with connections to the US stooge, Stoltenberg of NATO fame, please pass on a message from someone in the Asia-Pacific region.

"We have absolutely no interest in seeing you or your NATO underlings in this part of the world.

Keep your dirty games in Europe, such tricky acts by the American puppet NATO having caused the current fracas in Ukraine."

We in Australia, (an island off the coast of Asia), are fully occupied in trying to limit the number of US military enterprises in this country ourselves without adding any more subservient European armies to our shores. Relatively peaceful we are too because it is the football season and that environment is absolutely sacrosanct, no room for military games until October. As well, we are just about to embark on a national election, one party the same as the other in relation to our desire to become the 51st state of the USA (our long term aim since 1950.).

So do us a big favour. Direct some of your angst to a country like Israel, who at this present time are keeping very quiet by avoiding the comparisons between the Ukraine actions to their 70 years of inhumanity towards Palestinians, while they continue to manufacture nuclear warheads at Dimona to be used (as a threat initially) for evert capital in the world, as the Israeli historian Martin Van Creveld said in 2007…….

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets that can launch them at targets in all directions. Most European capitals are targets of our air force”

They would keep you entertained, surely.

But stay out of Asia Pacific. Get it!

The real question is, what will back a global currency in the face of China and Russia resisting? The USD is nearing its end as credit can't get cheaper and the US is 130% debt to gdp ratio.

It seems Russia, China, UAE, etc have all been hording gold and if they can break the paper market through real gold utilization (oil for gold) it will reprice golding leaving them more properly backed by real assets than the west.

The west is pushing hard for cap & trade through agw agenda which then gives the ability to price carbon, one of the most abundant elements in the universe. This then turns carbon into a commodity for which it can back a currency that controls people's actions through carbon footprint regulation in a market completely contrived and controlled by the global elite.

Putin has a more powerful weapon than nuclear bombs: the petroruble. And he's already detonated it. If we can keep Mr. Fumblefingers off the red button in the US, I don't think nuclear war is going to happen. I'm willing to predict that Ukraine will be over within weeks but the blowback from these sanctions will change the rest of our lives. Maybe for the better, for lack of another option.

I can't think of a single thing more terrifying than a one-world government. As I keep trying to explain to my Trotskyite friends, INGSOC scales up. Decentralization is the way to prevent authoritarianism, not more centralization.

WHO CARES FOR HOMO SAPIENS?

The last human beings on this planet, sentenced to go extinct anyway, should not much regret homo sapiens on his way to self-extinction. It is not a great loss for humanity, and less than that for life on the planet. We should try to assist the suicide as God as we can to short-cut the sufferings of this most un economical and a to ecological petty little cannibal predator and omnivore.

It's existence is due to the accidental survival of a regressive animal development, that was compensated by skills to amend counterbalance the regression first, and then got out of hand, out of control by external regulators, or internal regulators as those that control the snow rabbits and the snow foxes.

Since the sociocultural concept to become a human being has been shed for Disney land and vacations on the Bahamas or Maldives, of being a financial market guru, a space cadet or a 'nuclear scientist', because after all it was only an arbitrary norm, there is nothing left but existence for the purpose of reproduction to guarantee further existence.

At the end of the rainbow of the final enlightenment is neither nirvana nor shagrila, but an empty crackpot of the form of a scull of an individual of the species homo, an accident of evolution, that will have vanished without leaving a witness, not to speak of a being that would have noticed the demise, not to speak of regret.

After all for a savior or somebody who cared for the species and its existence have been dissolved into the thin air of science, the cunning of strategic cummunication, and the insight, that humanism was just another cloud cuckoo home in the midst of the fog over the battle field of fight of chimpanzees for ranks and resources, and the mechanism of reproduction of the eucaryotes, and life as such is autocannibalic from the zooplankton upwards, and civilizations are only an iteration of this autoreference to the autopoiesis of biochemistry of the planet within the avarage surface temperature range with water in all its aggregate states, there is only pitchblack nothingness as well underneath as in the direction of what is called 'future', as the background of all expectations while only the view back reveals in hindsight, in the bleak light of a dim and tedious work of remembering, homo sapiens does not really like very much to spend time on, the accelerating impact of the path of and to destruction, that leads to the peak of 'high civilization', that is so high only because it is built on the peak of the piled up heap of slain bodies of the species slaughtered by its surviving fellow creatures that take on them the task to explain, why all this was the one and only road to the successes, that will finally have configured the demise of the species while it was busy to explain to itself this progressive regression as the sign and proof, that there is indeed intelligent life in this and all the parallel universes, that look all about the same and must lead to the same result, with this enormously intelligent life Form to be the unswitchable masterparadigm for all intelligent life in any universe, that can be superseded only by a species that has advanced not only to have invented nuclear devices like the ones we know about, but who can command the energy of complete suns of arbitrary size to manage detonations every blockbuster fan would like to see as anticipated animations while he ponders the number of beers still left in the fridgerator.

Any universe can do without this creature.

Caitlin: please comment on Biden and Trump as pertains the narrative matrix.

The silly old fool Biden keeps accidentally telling the truth, he can’t stay on message, he cannot speak unscripted without revealing the imperial agenda.

Biden: accidental truth.

Trump is the opposite, he got elected by being a tattletale, his campaign rallies are Tour de force comedic romps wherein he spills the beans. All his speeches are basically the same - he says “check out this lie the elites tell us”.

Trump, inveterate liar uses a truthful description of elite lies as a cudgel against the elite.

The narrative matrix, Biden a loose canon liability and Trump a tattletale self promoter.

Which lie do you prefer?

I like Trump better because at least he’s fucking them in the ass, which is to say, stylistically, his bloviating rudeness seems appropriately applied given the elite’s pernicious little act of righteousness. Their actions beget the Trump monster.

Too late for America and the west. Moves have already been made with the 75% of the other global partners who reject u. s hegemony. They will trade together and freeze out anybody antagonistic to them. Also their combined military might is more than a match for the west. The west just doesn't realise its power is coming to an end. Australia and nz would want to be very careful as they're so isolated and have lots of natural resources that could be commandeered if necessary.
