Former Mexican police officer and security specialist Ed Calderon discusses the drug war in México and how it’s strategic location lends itself to continual interventions by the United States (e.g. Mexican presidents as CIA assets). He sees cartel power structures rising up in México and organizing themselves into federations, with some being funded by foreign governments (e.g. China, USA). He thinks America’s influence is declining, especially in México, where China is making inroads (illegally mining iron ore). Lithium is playing an increasing factor. México has become a proxy battleground in the New Cold War. He doesn’t think cartels will be classified as terrorists, though that’s what they are by definition. We are living through one of the most violent presidencies. The true power in México is in the military, who runs policy at a deep level. He gives his thoughts on the culture war, expatriation, and how Americans are causing violence in México by bringing their drug habits with them. He gives his take on the Ukraine conflict and points out how during the first 72 hours of the Ukraine conflict, México still outperformed in terms of death. He leaves us with some tips on surviving the road ahead. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2022/03/12/ed-calderon-mexico-proxy-new-cold-war/
"It's a digital neo-feudalism...the digital gulag...you're given a 10-year sentence in the in the digital gulag and there's no appeal, you can't call somebody up at big tech and say 'hey, you know, I think you guys got this wrong'. No, there's nothing. In fact, you don't even know what crime you were accused of or the sentence, and there's no appeal. So this in itself is sinister.
Unlike civil society where there's a legal system of some kind, there's no recourse in big tech neo-feudalism. You can't even go to the noble, you know, the castle on the hill, and beg for forgiveness or whatever. And so I think it is extremely dangerous." Charles Hugh Smith of OfTwoMinds.com 📲

"The Progressive movement started in America with the idea of rejecting the moral and political authority of the U.S. Constitution and destroying the machinery of the republic.
When you have unaccountable consolidated power it becomes authoritarian, and that was the whole point with progressivism. The "enlightened state" in their minds is salvation." Ned Ryun of NedRyun.com 🗽

"They already had a path...it involved crypto, a control grid, nanotech...a lot of that was already worked out in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2000s they've worked it into a more mature solution. I was hearing about cryptocurrency way back...they had plans for it a long time ago. All of that has been a preset plan." Bruce LaDuke 📲
