As far as I can tell, this interview speaks Truth.

This analysis is absolutely correct. As an American who has benefited from—and taken pride in—the post–Bretton Woods international order, it is deeply sad to watch the fragmentation of a system that has largely served both the United States and much of the world well. I do not believe this outcome was inevitable or that it had to unfold in this manner. Trump, however, has acted as a powerful accelerant in the erosion of an order that benefited the vast majority of its citizens. As a student and observer of world history, I find this profoundly unsettling on a personal and intellectual level. It truly did not have to go this way.

Trump is titular! He is owned by those in control of the United States—he does as he is told. He is a narcissistic clown.

Some people wonder why European leaders are happy to incapacitate their own economies. eg the UK burdening itself with a huge increase in the purchase of US Treasuries recently.

For those too sleepy to be aware: ALL political leaders in Europe are hand picked by the intelligence services, CIA/ MI6/MOSSAD. Unless you are Obedient, you will not be allowed to achieve political power in Europe. Democracy in Europe is a joke.

"Democracy in Europe is a joke."

Democracy is a 'joke' in the United States, but it's not funny. We live in a plutocratic oligarchy.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what is for dinner. In other words, a true democracy does not have minority rights. Majority rules. You will not find the word, Democracy, in any American founding document. That was intentional. The United States is supposed to be a Constitutional Republic.

Excellent talk with Dr. Hudson, one of my favorite economists. I’ve read many of his books, now into Super Imperialism 3rd Edition.

Consider Dr. Richard Werner, author of Princes of the Yen… also movie by the same name. It’s about how banking really works.
