Brandon Weichert discusses Ukraine and how Russia desires to be its own civilizational state or empire (as opposed to being under Western hegemony). Because of demographics, Moscow doesn’t have much time so Putin is plugging the strategic gaps on his western border now. He believes the threat of escalation is greater now than during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He discusses the unconventional and asymmetric threats of cyber and space warfare….the ‘shadow war’. We are not reading the Russian signals very well, they are less afraid of unintended consequences. For Putin, this is his go-for-broke Peter the Great moment. We discuss the decline of the dollar’s status as world reserve, how other countries have seen the writing on the wall, and how the nightmare scenario of an Eurasian axis has come to be. He also discusses his forthcoming book on Iran’s quest for supremacy. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2022/03/17/weichert-russia-civilizational-state-putins-moment/
"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 📲
