A big, sincere and massive thank you for the marathon session. Thank you, Laura and Anna, as well for your efforts to get as much knowledge to us here as possible
Well October sure does look like its going to be very interesting.
All along the watchtowers, fires are burning, and rebellion is in the air. At most instances around the world all of the Empire‘s plans are facing difficulties. Their bizarro make-believe world with their media control is slowly but surely hitting the brick wall of objective reality – and like a cornered tiger, it seems like the Empire and their lizzie overloads are poised to pounce to overturn the table.
Over in the US; the impeachment hearings are just beginning; and their war against Trump and all that he stands for has only increased his popularity (as the poll numbers indicate). In his own words "the people get it“. James Kunstler sums it up nicely in his latest blog post :
Two-punch -- Puppet Masters -- Sott.net
It looks like the people may just start to "make other arrangements“.
Across the pond in the occupied EU – the recession and energy prices are starting to really bite. The EU economy with economic powerhouse Germany is slowly crumbling and citizens are fed-up. Pepe Escobar sums it up nicely in his latest op-ed:
Europa, a girl from West Asia, raped again by an American bull -- Puppet Masters -- Sott.net
Meanwhile in Ukraine, Russia is slowly but surely grinding the combined arms of the Empire and their foot soldiers the Ukrainian military. From the start Russia and Putin labelled it the SMO – and paced the conflict for as long as possible – as they knew time was on their side. There is probably no great need now for a major Russian offensive anytime soon – as it is the Empire now that is "running out of time". The defeat of the Empire is inevitable – hence more need to change the global focus and turn the tables.
On the global front; the BRICS and SCO are rising, and multipolarity beckons. The recent counter coups in West Africa, aptly potray how helpless the Empire is now against the rising tide of multipolarity. The BRICs and OPEC also have the oil market cornered by regulating supply – and the old petrodollar system is being eroded.
Over in China – the Taiwan questions still remains. The treacherous DPP has been indulging with the Empire in various provocations; but they soon face a presidential election in Jan 2024. The population of Taiwan generally does not favour war, hence the support for the opposition Kuomintang (which prefers peaceful integration and eventual reunification with China) is gaining ground. Poll numbers (MSM) still show the DPP in the lead – but its not going to be a foregone conclusion unless the DPP decides to rig the elections outright. Hence it looks like the window for a major escalation with regards to Taiwan is between now and Jan 2024.
On the question of the instituted economic collapse – i recall an interesting book of fiction by Chan Koon Chung called the "Fat Years“ (spoiler alert).
I can’t recall all the details – but in the book, China is now the global economic superpower after a western global economic crisis. I recall – it was a dollar crisis where overnight the USD devalued by over 30% causing great turmoil across the global markets and in China. There was utter chaos and people struggled to get food and necessacities as there were riots everywhere. During this period the Chinese government (CCP) came up with a novel strategy :
The Fat Years - Wikipedia
"Dongsheng explains that, with growing challenges to the
Communist Party's legitimacy and authority, the decision was made in the midst of the financial crisis to enact his "Action Plan for Ruling the Nation and Pacifying the World." For one week, all government services and forces were forbidden to intervene without express permission, with widespread upheaval and rumor mongering only ending with the reentry of the
People's Liberation Army and armed police. The restoration of order and ensuing crackdown helped cement the necessity of the Communist Party in the public mind“
So, in the book - the CCP deliberately allowed the chaos to go on in order for the public to "beg“ the government to restore order.
Maybe this could be a strategy the Empire uses later when they institute their economic crisis and CBDCs. I guess we can take a little heart, that in their "trial run“ CBDCs introduction in Nigeria – it failed miserably as people didnt buy-in (there was chaos) and the Nigerian central bank had to revert back to cash.
Big brother may be on the horizon – but something tells me its not going to go according to the Empire’s plans. I guess in these chaotic times, its probably best to follow advice from the C’s – we have to patiently ride out the storms as after that "There will be a level playing field“.
Lets hope that the laws of Karma hold true and STS forces get "re-balanced“
