Most of the world right now is focused on Taiwan and China’s persistent threats to invade. Nancy Pelosi’s widely publicized plan to visit the island nation (yes, CCP, it is a nation) is a bizarre act of non-discretion that is clearly meant to instigate wider tensions between the US and China. Why would Pelosi do this now? Well, she’s not doing it on her own and it’s certainly not the dementia addled Joe Biden’s idea. There are clearly other hands and other interests involved.

The US sources around 20% of its retail goods from China as well as a large portion of it’s medical supplies. More concerning though is China’s near monopoly on Rare Earth metals which are integral to numerous electronic components. Furthermore, there is a pinnacle threat, which is China dumping trillions in US treasuries and dollar holding and virtually ending the dollar’s world reserve status.

This is not to say China is in a great position financially – They are on the verge of debt crisis as well, which indicates to me that they will indeed invade Taiwan (and possibly other regions) as a means to expand their borders and consolidate resources. With billions of people to feed and control, the temptation for the CCP to seek military conquest is high. If they do, it will be soon – within the next couple of months when the weather in the Taiwan Strait is optimal for naval operations.

The supply chain crisis is going to accelerate into winter as stagflation persists. Price inflation will remain high. The US is indeed officially in a recession today. Two consecutive negative GDP prints IS a recession, this is a fact that no one can change, including Joe Biden, Paul Krugman or Wikipedia. Reality does not answer to these people. The system is breaking, and certain people greatly benefit.

A regional conflict with China on top of the Ukraine war could be the perfect smokescreen for a financial and supply chain collapse that was going to happen anyway. But when the mainstream media talks about the triggers and culprits, they’ll never mention central banks and political corruption, they will only talk about Russia and China.

As I have noted in the past, the “Great Reset” agenda of the WEF, IMF, the BIS and other globalist organizations requires an extensive destabilization of the existing order. In other words, they need a controlled demolition of certain pillars of the economy. To frighten the public into accepting new collectivist and authoritarian models like the “Shared Economy” (where you will own nothing and like it), they will need a large and semi-chaotic disaster. People would have to be threatened with the loss of supply certainty and they would have to be unsure every day of where they will be able to get the necessities they need when they need them.

This level of uncertainty drives calls for solutions, and the globalists will be there to offer their pre-planned objectives and “save the day.”

Generally, inflation and shortages lead to price controls, government rationing, government “aid” with strings attached (Universal Basic Income), and eventually nationalization of all production as well as the attempted confiscation of supplies from people that prepared ahead of time. Redistribution will be the name of the game. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but soon enough.

The limited corporate calls for “regionalization” are too little too late, just as the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes are too little too late. They all know it, and they don’t care. These actions are only designed to make it appear as if they tried to save the system so they have deniability of their involvement in the crisis.

Stagflation and supply chain shortages are going to become the all encompassing issues of our era. They will be terms that are spoken about daily at every dinner table in America and probably through most of the world. These are dangers that were predicted extensively by the liberty media well ahead of time. They are NOT a surprise. And, there are plenty of institutions, corporate and government, that could have done something about them, but they chose not to. It’s important for people to accept the fact that this crisis is not a product of stupidity; it is a product of malicious motives and intent.

Falling empire, good riddance.

All by design, America is plunging into destitution, bankruptcy and mass famine. Along the path to that outcome, the American people are rapidly shifting grocery purchases away from conventional grocery stores to discount “dollar” stores, where heavily processed shelf-stable and frozen food items can be purchased for $1.25. Imagine the nutrient depletion in a box of generic pop-tarts sold for $1.25. Imagine the food safety shortcuts and lack of quality control for a $1.25 frozen pizza that’s sold in a dollar store. Realize that, for many Americans, dollar stores are the last step on the path to famine. If food prices continue to rise — as they are on track to do — the very same people who can barely afford dollar store processed food right now will soon find themselves without food options at all. They will starve: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-08-02-americans-shift-food-shopping-to-dollar-stores-as-their-last-desperate-strategy-before-mass-famine-and-revolt.html

▲ MY COMMENT: Many of us have warned about this over and over. Too bad for the people who won't listen! The outcome will be starvation for SEVERAL REASONS: #1 Food will cost too much when we reach hyperinflation. #2 There will be GOVT-manufactured shortages of food due to all the GOVT-sabotage against farmers and food processing plants. #3 Even if they do resort to gas station junk food WITH NO VITAMINS OR NUTRIENTS their bodies would slowly die from MALNUTRITION just like what happens in the third world!! Try a diet without any vitamins and nutrients and you'll slowly starve to death anyway on top of getting diabetes and cancer! If Americans are smart they'll prepare if they can afford to and they'll start thinking about hunting game, raising some meat rabbits or chickens, growing a garden, whatever they need to do to keep the food on the table. If they remain stupid they'll simply die off. AN OLD WISE SAYING: If you have an egg you have a meal!

RUMOR + MY COMMENT: There are ongoing rumors that Zelensky will be thrown under the bus by the US and Europe. I say it is a load of bullshit! One may ask why so? My response would be the $$$ MIC $$$ American/NATO war contractors are making way too much money keeping Zelensky in power in Ukraine, because without Zelensky Ukraine would likely cave, settle an agreement and negotiate a peace deal with Russia! That would NOT make profits for the $$$ MIC $$$ Sadly many Americans do not understand what "corruption" means today. It's as if the public school system completely erased that term, as well as every dictionary for the last 20+ years! Literally there are people so dumb today they do not know corruption exists, many do not even comprehend such possibility! BUT I DO. And I'm saying it right now: keeping Zelensky in power profits the $$$ MIC $$$ at any and at all cost to taxpayers and civilian life!!! And if raking in profits for this $$$ MIC $$$ meant risking nuclear war motherfucker they'd double down and risk it!! Being corrupt does not necessarily mean you have common sense to know when to quite while you're ahead because greed and control are fatally addictive like any other drug.

On August 11, TV Zvezda released footage documenting the destructive power of the Russian TOS-1A thermobaric rocket system. The footage shows a salvo of 15 TOS-1A rockets wiping out a number of residential buildings in the town of Pisky where Ukrainian service members have been taking shelter. The town, which is located right on the frontline with the city of Donetsk, was abandoned by its residents years ago. Kiev forces turned the town into a large fortress: https://southfront.org/new-footage-from-ukraine-shows-destructive-power-of-russias-tos-1a-rocket-launcher/

Speaking to The Washington Post on Wednesday, an anonymous Ukrainian government official said the explosions at the base were in fact caused by an operation carried out by Ukrainian special forces. Exactly how the attack was executed has not been divulged: https://www.yahoo.com/news/ukrainian-secret-agents-scaring-kremlin-141358385.html

The losses of personnel of Russian troops on August 10 increased by 200 to 43,000 killed (total), and the Ukrainian military destroyed 14 tanks and 6 drones last day. Since the beginning of the war, [Russia] has also lost 232 aircraft, 193 helicopters, 261 units of MLRS, 185 cruise missiles and 15 ships/boats: http://ukranews.com/en/news/875341-afu-destroy-200-occupiers-14-tanks-and-6-drones-general-staff-names-russia-s-losses-per-day

Ukrainian officials framed the August 9 attack in Crimea as the start of Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the south, suggesting that the Ukrainian military expects intense fighting in August and September that could decide the outcome of the next phase of the war. A Ukrainian official told Politico on August 10 that “you can say this is it” when asked about the start of Ukraine’s planned counteroffensive. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vaguely noted on August 10 that the war “began with Crimea and must end with Crimea - with its liberation.” Russian officials remain confused about the August 9 attack on the Saki Air Base in Russian-occupied Crimea, over 225km behind Russian lines, which destroyed at least eight Russian aircraft and multiple buildings. Satellite imagery confirmed reports from Ukraine’s air force that the attack destroyed at least eight Russian aircraft, contradicting Russian claims that the explosions did not damage any aircraft and were not the result of an attack. Russian outlets shared conflicting stories: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-august-10

Thanks to horrible governmental policy, debt insolvency, systemic corruption, economic sabotage, soaring fertilizer prices, insane geo-engineering warfare against populations and the war in Ukraine, global food supplies have been getting plundered. So we really needed a banner year for agricultural production in both the United States and Europe in 2022 and that is not happening. In fact, unprecedented 'drought' is absolutely devastating crops all over the northern hemisphere.

After months of positional battles, the Russian Armed Forces began to expand their foothold in the Kharkov region. After prolonged positional battles on the outskirts of the town, Russian servicemen managed to achieve some successes in their offensive during the last week. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to retreat from their positions in the area: https://southfront.org/russian-military-claimed-control-of-udy-in-kharkiv-region/

The Russian military has killed dozens of mercenaries in Ukraine in high-precision strikes, the Defense Ministry claimed on Monday. It said the Russian Air Force had hit a mercenary deployment point in Kharkov Region. “More than 100 militants from Poland as well as Germany were killed, with more than 50 injured,” the statement read: https://www.rt.com/russia/560862-russia-ukraine-mercenaries-killed/

Russian and proxy troops in Ukraine are likely operating in roughly six groups of forces oriented on Kharkiv City and northeastern Kharkiv Oblast; along the Izyum-Slovyansk line; the Siversk-Lysychansk area; Bakhmut; the Avdiivka-Donetsk City area; and Southern Ukraine. The Kharkiv City and Siversk-Lysychansk groups are likely built around cores drawn from the Western and Central Military Districts respectively. The Izyum-Slovyansk axis is increasingly manned by recently formed volunteer battalions that likely have very low combat power. Wagner Group private military company (PMC) soldiers are in the lead around Bakhmut, while forces drawn from the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) predominate in the Avdiivka-Donetsk City area. Troops from the Southern Military District (SMD) likely formed the original core of forces in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts but have been reinforced with troops of the Eastern Military District, Airborne Forces, and Rosgvardia. None of these groupings is homogeneous — elements of various military districts, proxy forces, volunteer units, and other formations are scattered throughout the theater. These dispositions suggest that Moscow is prioritizing the advance around Bakhmut and, possibly, toward Siversk with its Russian forces while seeking to draw on the enthusiasm of DNR forces to seize ground they have failed to take since 2014 on the Avdiivka axis. The high concentration of volunteer battalions around Izyum and Slovyansk suggests that that area is not a focus of Russian attention and may be vulnerable to Ukrainian counterattacks: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-august-14

The US Army is expected to fall nearly 40,000 troops short of its recruiting goals over the next two years. Only 23 percent of American youth are qualified to serve without waiver - noting obesity, drug addiction, medical, and behavioral health are the top disqualifiers for service. In the past the US Army targeted a specific demographic of people based on their values, and these recruits were patriots and loved America. Today the US Army happily encourages mandated vaccines, backs transgender subversion of the youth and speaks out in opposition to the Supreme Court of the United States — all of which is very unpatriotic. We now have a Department of Defense that has taken various political positions that are very much opposed to the heart of America and traditional military protocol. Much of America is missing the fact that the US Army is intentionally kicking people out in a precarious way that it knows is unnecessary because the data shows that it’s unnecessary.

Ukraine has the right to use weapons provided by Western partners to protect its territorial integrity including in Crimea, according to the leaders of Germany and Sweden at a joint press conference in Stockholm on August 16. “The unity shown by European countries in response to this war has been important and impressive. We very quickly decided on sanctions against Russia, unprecedented in their scope and size,” said Andersson. “Both our countries and other European nations made historic decisions, such as electing to send military support to Ukraine and bolstering our own defenses,” added Sweden’s top politician: https://www.kyivpost.com/russias-war/ukraine-has-the-right-to-use-weapons-to-retake-crimea-leaders-of-germany-sweden.html

Explosions at key Russian positions in occupied Crimea on Tuesday were "likely part of a coherent Ukrainian counteroffensive to regain control of the west bank of the Dnipro River," according to the US think-tank the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Meanwhile, British defence intelligence said that "Russian commanders will highly likely be increasingly concerned with the apparent deterioration in security across Crimea, which functions as a rear base area for the occupation".

Tensions are at a boiling point between Russia and Britain after the UK Defense Ministry declared it plans to send a reconnaissance plane on a route that partly passes into Russian airspace and over its territory.

▲ MY COMMENT: You must remember the EU is full of unelected bureaucrats who placed themselves into power over European countries, it was never about democracy or sovereignty or representing European nations or the citizenry. It would be similar to the US government allowing Canada and Mexico to make economic and political decisions for the US which would be disastrous and outright treasonous. But that is literally how most of Europe operates now days, they are NOT sovereign democratic nations under the EU.

Power electricity is being sold on the exchange for prices that are 10 times higher than before the Covid-19 crisis. If this continues, the amount of 25 korunas (€1) per kilowatt-hour may appear on household bills, meaning five times what the Czechs used to pay. But you cannot attribute the rise in electricity prices solely to Putin or the sheiks. The reasons stem from system failure and some important actors, namely Germany and France, as well as the general rules in the European Union. Czechia itself is a victim here and has not yet begun to defend itself: https://rmx.news/czech-republic/10-times-more-expensive-electricity-in-czechia-how-could-this-happen/

On August 17, Russian-led forces took control of the village of Vershina. The gains were confirmed by the Headquarters of Territorial Defence of the Donetsk People’s Republic: https://southfront.org/russian-troops-took-control-of-vershina-near-bakhmut/

Last night, Russian missiles hit a temporary base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the town of Zatoka in the Odessa region. According to unconfirmed reports, the facility hosted Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries, hundreds of whom were reportedly killed: https://southfront.org/russian-missiles-hit-ukrainian-military-base-in-zatoka-odessa-region/

Ukrainian government officials are teasing the likelihood of more strikes and ‘sabotage operations’ inside Russian controlled Crimea, after having cheered on at least two recent large explosions at military sites. Kiev officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, are reportedly warning that all civilians should “stay away from potential targets” in Crimea: https://southfront.org/zelensky-warns-civilians-must-stay-away-from-targets-in-crimea-signaling-more-attacks/

According to Channel 24 and independent sources, Crimean Prime Minister Aksyonov and Parliament Speaker Konstantinov left the Crimean peninsula. According to Ukrainian intelligence, they received data not only on the organization of the escape, but also on the place of stay of the Gauleiters. "Aksyonov's subordinates carried out the disposal of documents at night. The families of "Crimean politicians" are already on the territory of mainland Russia in Rostovoye. There is no talk of returning to Crimea yet," the source said: https://news.dialog.ua/257283_1660766334

Russian military leadership is likely increasingly losing confidence in the security of Crimea following recent Ukrainian strikes on Russian military objects in Crimea. Russian sources reported on August 17 that Vice Admiral Viktor Sokolov had replaced Admiral Igor Osipov as the commander of the Crimean-based Black Sea Fleet (BSF). The Russian information space, however, was evidently eager to maintain a high level of secrecy regarding Sokolov’s appointment due to the claimed threat of “terrorist danger” in Sevastopol. Recent Ukrainian strikes (associated with Ukrainian partisans and Ukrainian Armed Forces) on Russian military assets in Crimea, including the headquarters of the BSF in Sevastopol, have likely placed Russian forces on high alert and led to the restructuring of force composition, logistics, and leadership of the Russian grouping in Crimea in order to mitigate the impact of further strikes: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-august-17

The West’s key achievements in confronting Russia—swiftly rallying in solidarity with Ukraine, hitting Moscow with crushing sanctions and supplying Kyiv with billions in armaments—may be at risk. Even as politicians reaffirm Western unity and pundits hail the impact of weapons sent to Ukraine, economic woes are poised to fracture that solidarity where it matters most—in the European Union. Paradoxically, the rising costs of war appear less sustainable for wealthy, democratic EU countries than they do for poor, isolated Russia. The bill is coming due, and Europeans are shocked at the privations they face to pay it: soaring energy costs, rationing, reduced aid for the poor, and looming recession. Disagreement over Ukraine aid triggered the recent collapse of Italy’s ruling coalition, a bad omen for other centrist European governments: https://nationalinterest.org/feature/western-unity-ukraine-fragile-and-russia-knows-it-204308

▲ MY COMMENT: Good article BUT I would like to note there are multiple reasons Russia did not collapse after being blocked from the Western SWIFT payment system that this article never bothered mentioning. This is worth mentioning because Western governments do not seem to fully comprehend this. #1 Both Russia and China have been preparing to break away from the US dollar global reserve currency since their "Holy Grail" oil-for-gold trade deal back in 2014, so they had nearly a decade to prepare in advance. #2 Russia never outsourced their manufacturing base or productive industry unlike many Western countries, so Russia has resources and industry to fall back on when things get tough for them. Russia, unlike the West today, also protects their strong agricultural base: they even give food producers lucrative tax cuts and incentives to produce as much food for their population as possible so Russians won't go hungry during an economic crisis! #3 Russia exploited globalism and globalist corruption for sure - but Putin never allowed serious threats to their national sovereignty to manifest (the reason people like (((George Soros))) and his NGOs have been banned from Russia, and the very reason they won't allow certain people into political power knowing full well too much corruption can kill nations as they witnessed during the Soviet Union and it's collapse). Economic preparation with other nations like China, the protection of domestic industry and agriculture, and the ability to determine what kind of corruption needs to be stomped out for national security reasons is why Russia is surviving this crisis.

Russia is a responsible nuclear power and will only use its nuclear arms if attacked with weapons of mass destruction or if its existence is under threat, a spokesman for the country’s foreign ministry has said.

Western governments are intentionally trying to reduce economic activity. There is no precedent for this. Never before in the history of industrialized nations has any government intentionally tried to lower its economic activity. It has never been done with intent before because within the contraction nations get more poor and people suffer: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/something-looming-geopolitically-and-we-better-start-taking-it-seriously

▲ MY COMMENT: There actually is historical precedent and one example is when Russia in the 1920s fell into communist rule. The Soviet goal was to centralize power and control over the whole economy and do away with any resistance and opposition. They hated decentralization. They hated political opposition. They hated free markets. It was much like being ruled by monopolists where free markets were deliberately and systematically crushed and later outlawed. Self-sufficiency was despised and later deemed criminal. Wealth force re-distributed and consolidated under a tiny "elite" oligarchy and central bankers who propped them up. Very much the same with the British Empire and one of many reasons our American Founding Fathers risked their lives fighting them. Western nations have been hijacked by the same kind of criminal oligarchy. Much like the later days of the USSR, we are starting to see the balkanization and fracturing of vassal states as naturally happens when these extremists push the citizenry too far into demise. The end result being civil unrest, defection and collapse.

A number of politicians and their lobbying partners in the media have recently sought to disparage Smith & Wesson. Some have had the audacity to suggest that after they have vilified, undermined and defunded law enforcement for years, supported prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals accountable for their actions, overseen the decay of our country’s mental health infrastructure, and generally promoted a culture of lawlessness, Smith & Wesson and other firearm manufacturers are somehow responsible for the crime wave that has predictably resulted from these destructive policies, but they are the ones to blame for the surge in violence and lawlessness, and they seek to avoid any responsibility for the crisis of violence they have created by attempting to shift the blame to Smith & Wesson, other firearm manufacturers and law-abiding gun owners. It is no surprise that the cities suffering most from violent crime are the very same cities that have promoted irresponsible, soft-on-crime policies that often treat criminals as victims and victims as criminals. Many of these same cities also maintain the strictest gun laws in the nation: https://citizens.news/647472.html

Germany currently features a mostly left-wing government made up of the Social Democrats, the liberal Free Democrats, and the Green Party.

The Russians still do not admit that the Armed Forces of Ukraine pierced and struck their pride — the “reliable” air defense system in the Crimea, and therefore they are now looking for the culprit, considering options for terrorist attacks and sabotage. The military shifts responsibility to the FSB, which does not fight sabotage, however, they cannot admit that it is the Armed Forces of Ukraine that strike at the “fortress with the most protected airspace”, which they considered the Crimea to be, they just can’t admit it, the expert noted. According to him, this is the collapse of the military and political image. “This image was built on the fact that Russia has a bunch of missiles with which they will dominate the airspace. And today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed the myth of the invincibility of the Russian air defense and their S300 and S400,” Serhiy Kuzan said: https://charter97.org/en/news/2022/8/23/512472/
