Alasdair Macleod, The Era of a Financialized Fiat-Dollar Standard is Ending

James Fetzerblog

Alasdair Macleod   In recent articles I have argued that the era of a financialised fiat dollar standard is ending. This article takes my hypothesis further and explains that it is not just the emergence of new commodity backed currencies in Asia that will threaten the dominance of Western currencies, but the Fed’s failing monetary policies and those of the other major central banks. An unstoppable rise in interest rates will in large part be responsible for their demise. Financial markets in thrall to the state underestimate the forces collapsing the…

Philip Giraldi, Biden, Zelensky and the Neocons

James Fetzerblog

Philip Giraldi  There are many backstories surfacing from what is going on in Ukraine and Washington that have been largely ignored amid the drumbeat of casualty counts combined with claims and counter-claims from the two sides. Two stories that I believe have received insufficient attention are the US government’s three decades long obsession with weakening and de facto destroying the Russian state and the dominant neocon plus associate liberal democracy promoter role in what has become American foreign policy. To be sure, anyone who doubts that the US is currently…

Caitlin Johnstone: US officials admit they’re literally just lying to the public about Russia

James Fetzerblog

Caitlin Johnstone From spreading no-evidence claims to outright lying, all is fair to ‘get inside Putin’s head’, apparently   NBC News has a new report out citing multiple anonymous US officials, humorously titled “In a break with the past, U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn’t rock solid.” The officials say the Biden administration has been rapidly pushing out “intelligence” about Russia’s plans in Ukraine that is “low-confidence” or “based more on analysis than hard evidence”, or even just plain false, in order to fight an information war…

Cynthia Chung, How the Ukrainian Nationalist Movement Post-WWII was Bought and Paid for by the CIA

James Fetzerblog

Cynthia Chung In part 1 of this series Fact Checking the Fact Checkers, the question was posed “why does Ukraine seem to have so many Nazis nowadays?” In that paper we were led to the further question “is the United States and possibly NATO involved in the funding, training and political support of neo-Nazism in Ukraine and if so, for what purpose?” It was concluded that in order to answer such questions fully, we would have to look at the historical root of Ukrainian nationalism and its relationship with U.S. Intelligence…

Nick Griffin, MSM’s Bucha Tall Tale

James Fetzerblog

Nick Griffin “The Bucha Massacre” has now become the driving force for the propaganda push for even more NATO involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. Yet the claim that this is a Russian war crime is so patently false that a rational observer can only be left astounded by the combination of bare-faced nerve and slapdash incompetence displayed by the media outlets and politicians pushing this disgusting smear. The latest effort of the Western media to deny Russian rebuttals is the claim that satellite photos show the bodies were there for weeks.…

Alon Ben-Meir, Israel’s PM Naftali Bennett is siding with the ruthless killer Vladimir Putin

James Fetzerblog

Alon Ben-Meir [Editor’s note: Fascinating anti-Bennett and anti-Putin propaganda, when Bennett wants to be on the side of the winner. Don’t wince when you read about “Israel’s moral standing”!] Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s “neutrality” in the Russian war against Ukraine is outrageous and contemptible. It runs contrary to every moral principle that Israel is supposed to stand and fight for. Bennett must join the Western alliance in opposing Putin — a merciless tyrant who is committing crimes against humanity and must pay for it. One cannot help but feel…

Banning the Letter ‘Z’ is Proof the West has really lost touch with reality

James Fetzerblog

BY MIKE ‘Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.’ Enoch Powell, Rivers of Blood speech. April 20, 1968. Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict, Western Russophobia has risen to the level of insanity, Chinese analyst Zhang Tengjun claims in the Global Times on the public display of the letter ‘Z’. The symbol has become a symbol of Russian support. ‘It looks like the West has gone too far in its Russophobia, writes Zhang Tengjun. For example, Zurich Insurance removed its Z logo from social media after it became…

KanekoaTheGreat, How Obama And Biden Installed Neo-Nazis In Ukraine

James Fetzerblog

KanekoaTheGreat Today’s war cannot be understood without first understanding the U.S. government’s role in Ukraine’s Maidan Coup. Disclaimer: I did not support the U.S. government’s 2014 coup overthrowing the democratically-elected government of Ukraine, nor did I support Ukraine’s shelling of Donbas for the last 8-years, nor do I support Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine. The neo-Nazi factions represent a small percentage of Ukraine, but a significant percentage that played a major role in the 2014 coup, the War in Donbas, and the ongoing war with Russia. This isn’t a story of good…

ANALYSIS: Russia is winning, America is self-destructing… prepare for EXTREME POVERTY as 50-year economic fairy tale implodes

James Fetzerblog

 Mike Adams ANALYSIS: Russia is winning, America is self-destructing… prepare for EXTREME POVERTY as 50-year economic fairy tale implodes – NaturalNews.com (Natural News) Do not confuse the headline of this analysis with any conclusions of who we’re rooting for. We are rooting for America and the American people, yet we simultaneously realize that the current occupying US government is an illegitimate, treasonous crime cartel that rigged the 2020 election, built the covid bioweapon and is trying to mass exterminate the American people with mRNA “vaccine” injections. They do not represent the…

Miles Mathis, A Little Math

James Fetzerblog

by Miles Mathis Here’s a little math no one is doing.  The Biden scriptwriters are telling us gasoline prices are so high because of Putin.  But wait, Russia only supplies 4% of our oil, but prices have gone up by 90% since Biden took office.  So we seem to have a little mismatch there. But it is even worse than that, because the prices went up by 90% before we cut off delivery of Russia’s oil. We haven’t yet officially cut off Russian oil yet, so we might be able to blame the next 4% rise on that after we do.…
