To understand the profound importance of the document signed by Presidents Xi and Putin on Feb. 4, and why it represents such a dire threat to the modern-day British Empire, it is instructive to read what the Daily Telegraph, a leading mouthpiece of that Empire and the City of London, has to say about it (cf. item above). Under the […]

At 4:00 p.m. on Feb. 4, the following headline appeared on the Bloomberg News website: “Russia Invades Ukraine.” Note that it was then midnight in Moscow, and that President Vladimir Putin was not in the country, but in Beijing. For a full 30 minutes, this headline remained on the website, before it was finally removed, with the news agency posting […]

Although the ECB left interest rates unchanged on Feb 3 and President Christine Lagarde has attempted to show that the glass is half-full, by saying that the ECB won’t “rush decisions” on a policy course, “the markets” see the glass as half-empty, and continue to factor into prices a four-time interest hike this year through a sell-off of bonds. Thus, […]

One week long of extreme cold, and Germany would run out of natural gas reserves. According to a study carried out for the Economic Ministry back in 2015 by the Becker Büttner Held consultancy, gas storage facilities must be at least 40% full by Feb. 1 of each year in order to suffice for seven days of very cold winter […]

A new study by researchers at the Dutch Wageningen University & Research confirms that the European Union’s “farm to fork” and biodiversity strategy, a key component of its “Green Deal”, will lead to a severe drop in production, a doubling of food imports and skyrocketing prices. That is hardly surprising given the main goals of the farm to fork (“F2F”) […]

A government report released late last year warned that the lights could go out in Switzerland by 2025, as the amount of electricity produced by renewables, solar, wind and even hydro-power will not make up for the loss of shutting down all nuclear power stations by 2035. Prospects also look dim on further imports from the European Union, due to […]

The Geneva-based Transmutex company is working on a new generation of nuclear power plant that burns thorium rather than uranium. As the company’s website explains, it is a “breakthrough energy process” based on using particle accelerators and thorium, which occurs abundantly in rocks. It is inherently safe, burns existing long-lived waste, is cost competitive and produces no carbon emissions. A […]

All four party leaders of the non socialist opposition in Sweden, including the Christian Deomocrats, Moderates and Liberals, which make up nearly half of the Swedish parliament, co-signed an op ed in Svenska Dagbladet (Feb.7), calling for the development of nuclear power. In light of skyrocketing electricity prices, and the expected doubling of consumption by 2045, they propose to redefine […]

In a move that is without doubt causing panic among trans-Atlantic financial and geopolitical elites, on Feb. 6 Argentine President Alberto Fernández met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing to sign a joint statement announcing Argentina’s joining China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—the 20th nation of the Ibero-American/Caribbean region to do so. This came three days after Fernández’s very […]

For the past two months, mainstream Western media have reported day in, day out, that Russia has amassed 100,000 troops on the border with Ukraine, who are prepared to invade at any moment. But over the past week, those reports have been vigorously denied by the leaders of Ukraine themselves, including the President, the Defense Minister and the Foreign Minister, […]
