On the eve of the Biden Putin phone call to avert war in Ukraine, Russia announced an end to fertilizer exports. Last month China quietly ended ammonia exports. There is a worldwide shortage of urea needed to run not only new diesel cars but also trucks and some farm equipment.Is this a precursor to war or just another example of the damage done to the global economy by Davos and its merry band of vandals?

With the electoral college casting their votes today and Joe Biden declaring himself President, I sat down with former diplomat and adviser to the GOP Senate Jim Jatras to get some distance from the ins and outs of the election wrangling and project into the future regardless of who is inaugurated on January 20th.Jim's insights into the bigger picture, both spiritual and pragmatic, are certainly valuable and a great addition to the discussion of the great civilizational struggle occurring across

We cover a wide range of issues surrounding the election fraud of 2020, the hypocrisy of the COVID-19 crisis and how the forces of decentralization will overwhelm the the planned Great Reset of human society by the World Econom

Episode #60 - Crypto Rich and How Privacy Coins Thwart the Great Reset

Bitcoin is all the rage right now, angering gold bugs, drawing attention of corporate sponsors. But what is lurking below the surface is the issue of privacy. In a dramatic push for the end of privacy governments and corporations around the world are deep into building a medical passport system that bypasses national and local governments and makes a mockery of the ideas of human individuality and dignity.Into this discussion are the so-called 'privacy coins' within the cryptocurrency ecosyste

We're two weeks out from the U.S. presidential election and the way I see things now, this is our moment to stand up and demand these people stop beating us or we're going to get everything we deserve from them.The choice now is between struggle sessions and secession. But secession starts in your heart and your head. Become #Ungovernable or be destroyed, because that is the choice in front of you.

You say you want a revolution? Well, how about exposing systemic voter fraud and the consequences for running an operation of that magnitude. This week I ponder the outcome of Trump's legal challenges in the state of Pennsylvania in conjunction with Samuel Alito's order to sequester late ballots there.It's possible justice will be served in all of this but the D.C. swamp is deep and the corruption vast. Trump faces a real uphill battle against public opinion, the oligarchy arrayed against him

Episode #52 -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Legacy of Tyrants

Eulogizing tyrants is simply the wrong thing to do. Ginsburg was a tyrant of the worst kind, one who thought of herself as the Hero of her own story. It is that type of thinking that allows tyrants to justify any and all behavior no matter how rotten. Her clinging to power was an object lesson to her disciples that power is all that matters because all ends justify the means to achieve it. I won't eulogize her or her "amazing life," since it left the country even more divided on the edge of

We seem to be turning a corner on the Meaning Crisis which has been building for nearly 300 years. And it may have found its way into popular culture in the most unlikely of places, Doom Patrol.As Hollywood struggles with a new normal where they are marginalized in an economic depression, the emphasis on stories that move us rather than wow us is what they will have to do to survive.
