Greenland Assets

 Unsecured Creditors,


  Influential international bankers facing financial collapse is the biggest risk factor for world war three that I can think of. Wars do not happen because one group of people hates another group of people. That can be induced quickly enough. Mass hate helps the war machine work, but its decisions are made to gain and hold power over people and wealth. Alex Krainer's work on the precarious financial status of the Bank of England, last summer and last week, prompted two posts about that, most recently, "BOE Still Needs World War Three"  https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/boe-still-needs-world-war-three
  The dangerous situation is that the Bank of England has made a lot of leveraged loans, backed by collateral, which was in Ukraine, but is now physically in Russia, so those assets cannot actually be liquidated. They are lost assets, not yet reckoned on the financial ledgers, because the ledgers can't balance that way. The Bank of England also undersigned very large IMF loans to "Ukraine", which "Ukraine" will never service, except with more loans, which deal was also done last summer. The emergency financial powers which come with a major war always protect banking interests, especially national banking interests. It seem like the tail wagging the dog, but these are the people who decide policy.
  I can't really hope that the Bank of England, and associates go bankrupt, because they can initiate war against Russia to save their financial interests, and let NATO protect them.
  I am interested in Donald Trump's play to grab Greenland, because it has a similar scale of mineral assets to Ukraine, which can be acquired for banking by bribing 56,000 citizens who can vote in a referendum to become the New Alaska. These citizens are 88% Inuit, and see that Alaskan Inuit peoples are wealthier than Greenlanders.
  Is some kind of banking deal possible which would back up the $US financial system, including the infamous BoE, based upon Greenland's considerable oil and mineral wealth, thereby eliminating the financial imperative for slaughtering millions or billions of people?

  Erik Prince Reveals Trump Was Closer To Buying Greenland Than Previously Known
  Prince's comments come as Trump ramps up his calls to acquire the Arctic landmass, highlighting its strategic military and economic advantages...
..It is an enormous amount of mineral potential. It is of significant interest to the Chinese Communist Party. And so I think what Trump had proposed last time, last administration, was effectively a 50-50 rev share where the US would take over the overhead costs because it costs Denmark tens of billions of dollars a year for the policing, security, and administration of Greenland. The US would take that on, but then it would basically split the revenue of any mining or energy development together with Denmark...
..As a defensive play and as a good opportunity for the United States to maximize the reach and the economic development in our own hemisphere, it makes perfect sense...
..SEAN SPICER: I mean in all honesty I just can't imagine Denmark saying oh yeah yeah we'll give up 50% or 20% even of our sovereign territory because you guys want.
ERIK PRINCE: They were almost ready to do the deal last time...
..SEAN SPICER: If you had to make a prediction whether Denmark agrees to some kind of a deal, where would you put it?
ERIK PRINCE: Above 50%. Remember, you know, think about, um, you know, they called the purchase of Alaska Seward's Folly and it turned out to be absolutely a brilliant purchase. I think it came out to two or three cents per acre in terms of value. Um, the United States, you can imagine, where would we be without Alaska?

  What Is It About The Arctic?  Mark Wauk
  Northeast Passage (Russia) and Northwest Passage (Canada) trade routes are discussed with illustrative polar maps. If Greenland became a US territory, and Canada aligned completely with US interests, then there would mainly be Russia and the US dividing up Arctic spheres of wealth and influence. China would follow Russia's lead, and NATO members, Norway and Canada, would follow the US lead. Not bothering each other would facilitate extraction of resources, but war would kill the goose laying those golden eggs. There is enough to go around, and shipping routes can be managed with icebreakers.   https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/what-is-it-about-the-arctic   


  Why does Trump want Greenland and could he get it?   [Bribe enough people to win a vote, right?]
  A 2023 survey showed that 25 of 34 minerals deemed "critical raw materials" by the European Commission were found in Greenland. They include materials used in batteries such as graphite and lithium, and so-called rare earth elements used in electric vehicles and wind turbines.
  Greenland has banned extraction of oil and natural gas for environmental reasons, and development of its mining sector has been snarled in red tape and opposition from indigenous people.

  Gilbert Doctorow,  Transcript of ‘Judging Freedom,’ 9 January edition
  The attention has been to what is in Greenland. It’s been to what Greenland will mean 30 years from now, when the polar ice cap melts, and what this means for American activity, future activity in the Arctic region, what threats it poses or doesn’t to Russian navigation... I think it has nothing whatever to do with what President Trump is doing now. I don’t think this man is terribly concerned about anything that could or would happen 30 years from now... He is putting something forward which is not the least bit frivolous for today and tomorrow, not for 30 years perspective.
  And what I mean is: he has been advised clearly at what President Reagan did in a similar situation to what he is facing now with the Ukraine war. In October 1983, President Reagan was faced with a very unpleasant fact of 140 plus American soldiers having been blown to bits in Lebanon by a Hezbollah attack on the barracks where they and French soldiers were based in a peacekeeping mission. Two days later, he invaded Granada.
  That is the message from the Reagan administration that Mr. Trump is employing now. He is preparing to throw Ukraine under the bus, and he doesn’t want to be held accountable for it, because he wants the whole thing to diminish in importance compared to the American takeover of Greenland...

..I don’t see any need for him to use military muscle on Greenland. If you pay attention closely to what the Danish prime minister said yesterday when asked about this whole case in the press, she said, well, Greenland’s future is up to Greenlanders. Now, that’s as much as saying that she’s given up. She has no intention of facing down Trump and the United States over this or creating a scandal within NATO. When you consider who exactly are the Greenlanders, They are 56,000 people in that vast territory. Don’t you think it would be quite easy to buy them all off?   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/01/10/transcript-of-judging-freedom-9-january-edition/

  Trump Confirms Meeting Being Set Up With Putin As Kremlin Expresses Readiness
The day prior Trump had also said "President Putin wants to meet." The Kremlin has yet to confirm the talks, but has repeatedly said Putin remains open to the possibility.
  "He has said that even publicly and we have to get that war over with. That's a bloody mess," Trump had said in the Thursday part of the remarks.
Moscow's newest Friday statement reaffirmed openness to such a meeting, "but that any concrete steps to set up such talks could be made only once Mr. Trump is sworn into office on Jan. 20," The New York Times notes.
  "We need a mutual desire and political willingness to engage in a dialogue," Putin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters. "We see that Mr. Trump also declares his readiness to solve issues via dialogue. We welcome that."
  Peskov added that Russia's understanding is that there is a "mutual readiness for a meeting" but that "it looks like things will start to move after Trump enters the Oval Office."

The end of the Ukraine conflict will allow foreign investors to return to the market, the legendary investor says.
  Regarding the world economy, Rogers warned of a looming global recession by mid-spring, predicting that it would be “the worst” in his life. He attributed this to growing national debt and Trump’s potential import tariffs on Chinese goods, which he said could severely impact global trade and the economy, likening the potential fallout to the Great Depression of the 1930s. He added that the US dollar would weaken as a safe-haven currency, leading to a downturn in the global stock market.   https://swentr.site/business/610603-jim-rogers-russian-economic-boom/

  Gilbert Doctorow,  ‘Dialogue Works,’ edition of 10 January: Elon Musk and Alice Weidel (AfD) Ignite Controversial Discussion on X!
 This broadcast provided rich material for analysis of various issues, first among them what influence Musk will be exerting on the incoming Trump administration. I regrettably submit that this influence will be ill-informed and... poorly considered. The sad truth is that Musk demonstrated that there are no universal geniuses, and that brilliance in the several business and technical domains which he rightly claims does not extend to international affairs.  He obviously will not be the ‘adult in the room’...
..For her part, Frau Weidel showed herself to be interested primarily in domestic policy in Germany and to have nothing of importance to say about the two most critical conflicts in the world today, the Israeli rampage in its neighborhood including the genocide in Gaza, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Those who tell us that her possible victory at the polls on 23 February will signal a German withdrawal from NATO, as the widely watched Colonel Douglas Macgregor has done earlier this week, are drawing their analysis from thin air.  https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/01/10/dialogue-works-edition-of-10-january-elon-musk-and-alice-weidel-afd-ignite-controversial-discussion-on-x/

  Elon Musk And Alice Weidel: How "Common Sense" Politics Can "Save" Germany
  The wide-ranging dialogue allowed Weidel to speak directly to the public regarding the AfD’s policies on mass migration, libertarianism, pro-business initiatives, regulatory reduction, and a balanced energy strategy emphasizing nuclear powerwithout — as she put it — interference and spin from the mainstream media.
  Weidel criticized former Chancellor Angela Merkel, labeling her as Germany’s first “green chancellor” and accusing her energy and immigration policies of “ruining” the nation.  “She enforced without asking the people to open our borders for illegal immigration, she wrecked our backbone in terms of obnoxious energy policy… Germany is the only industrial country that unplugged the nuclear power plants,” ...  “They switched off the last nuclear power plant to even more create a shortage of energy, so either you must be very stupid or you just hate your own country,” Weidel stated.
  Musk expressed alignment with the AfD’s positions, particularly on energy policy and economic reforms.  “Germany should really keep its nuclear power plants running. I think that’s extremely important,” he said...
 ..She emphasized the AfD’s libertarian-conservative stance, distancing it from extremist ideologies.
In a firm rejection of any notion that the AfD is aligned with far-right ideology amid frequent derogatory comparisons in the mainstream media to Hitler, Weidel insisted her party “stands for the opposite” of what the Nazi Party advocated.
  “He was a communist socialist guy, full stop, no more comment on that,” Weidel said of Hitler, before proceeding to comment further by explaining that 1930s Germany was subjected to mass state censorship and nationalization of key infrastructure.  "We are exactly the opposite, the libertarian, conservative party,” she said.

  Recovered from last spring's near-assassination:  Slovak PM warns of looming EU collapse
The bloc could fall apart due to incompetence in addressing urgent matters, Robert Fico has suggested
  Fico accused Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of “sabotaging the financial interests of Slovakia and the EU,” saying the transit stoppage could trigger an energy crisis across the bloc and result in some €70 billion ($72 billion) worth of damage.  “Neither Slovakia nor the EU is at war, we have no reason to tolerate Zelensky’s adventures, especially looking at the aid Slovakia and the EU are providing to Ukraine,” Fico said...
..He further voiced frustration with the EU’s failure to take action, saying he would travel to Brussels to meet with the energy commissioner and would do everything he can “to wake him up from his sweet sleep, because we have a ‘bloody’ serious problem.”...
..Fico said his priority is to safeguard Slovakia’s financial and national interests. He emphasized that the overall focus in the EU should be on addressing the economic fallout and not engaging in pointless political debates.  “…Looking at the EU, I fear that it will fall apart sooner than we can imagine,” he stressed.
  Reflecting on his recent trip to Moscow, Fico pointed out that Kiev’s gas transit blockade was the reason behind his Russia visit.  “I needed to secure at least gas for Slovakia’s domestic consumption, which we have secured, even without increasing gas prices,” he said, confirming Moscow’s commitment to continued energy supply via the TurkStream pipeline.   https://swentr.site/news/610642-fico-slovakia-eu-collapse-warning/

  ‘Deadly Exchange’: US Sends Hundreds of Law Enforcement to Israel to Learn ‘Worst Practices’ From IDF
  Thousands of law enforcement officials have traveled to Israel to learn new repression strategies and surveillance techniques from the Israel National Police, Israel Defense Forces, and the Shin Bet, who inflict violence, crowd control, and surveillance onto Palestinians. Anti-imperialist advocates say the tactics being taught to US law enforcement were battle-tested on Palestinians and spread to the US to target Black and Brown communities through a training relationship that grants Israeli forces more power and profit, causing further harm to Palestinians.
  These programs are facilitated by the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, and the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange Program—the latter of which was started in 1996. US leaders sought Israel’s guidance to curb terrorism, and a ‘deadly exchange’ of worst practices between US and Israeli forces was born. Federal, state, county, and municipal law enforcement executives including local police departments, the FBI, and ICE have traveled to Israel, while thousands of officials have attended conferences with Israeli experts in the US.

  Mike Whitney,  Netanyahu Committee Says Israel Must Prepare for War with Turkey
  The ousting of Syrian President Bashar al Assad has put the United States, Israel and Turkey on a fast-track to a broader and more violent conflagration. By removing Assad and obliterating the state, the coup managers created a power vacuum that has been filled by the proxy armies of the most vicious and aggressive nations in the world all of whom are now prepared to intensify the fighting in order to determine the final borders of the New Middle East...
 ..In this new paradigm, the US, Israel and Turkey are not allies attempting to achieve the same objective (toppling Assad), but bitter enemies determined to impose their own strategic vision on the entire region. This is where Washington’s ambitious plan to control the region’s pipeline corridors and critical resources meets head-on with the expansionist Zionist plan for Greater Israel and Turkey’s dream of a new Ottoman empire....  
..In short, there is no plan, no strategy, nothing. Our foreign policy mandarins are simply improvising, making it up as they go along, and reacting to events as they unfold.   https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/netanyahu-committee-says-israel-must-prepare-for-war-with-turkey/ 

  Is a war between Turkey and Israel imminent?
The situation in Syria remains difficult and now both Turkish and Israeli media are reporting that their states should prepare for war.
  After the Islamists from HTS took power in Syria, the situation remains tense. Israel has occupied part of Syria near the Golan Heights and justifies this by saying it is creating a security zone. This occupation, which is contrary to international law, is criticized by non-Western countries, but as usual, Israel is not interested.
  In northeastern Syria, the US has still stationed troops in the Kurdish areas of Syria, also in violation of international law. Turkey is threatening military action against the Kurds if they do not submit to the Turkish-backed HTS government and hand over their weapons. Even a military clash between Turkish troops and US troops in Syria cannot be ruled out.
  Turkey wants Syria, whose new government it de facto controls, to come under full control of HTS. This creates potential for conflict with both the United States and Israel.

  The US government does not want to talk about genocide in Gaza
The US government is referring to the civil war in Sudan as genocide. However, it does not want to use the word for Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.
  When asked by a journalist how the situation in the Gaza Strip differs from that in the Sudanese region of Darfur, John Kirby, the communications director of the White House National Security Council, reiterated that the allegations that the Israeli military is committing genocide in Gaza are inaccurate and stressed :
    "There is no genocide by Israel against Palestinians. What we see in Sudan is genocide."
The situation in Sudan is fundamentally different from that in the Gaza Strip because, according to Kirby:
    "It's not every day that Israeli military soldiers wake up, put their boots on the ground and say, 'Hey, we're going to go and kill some innocent people because they're Palestinians.'"

  The Chris Hedges Report: The Zionists Kill Doctors in Gaza and Silence Them Here (w/ Dr. Rupa Marya)
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said, “The protection of hospitals during warfare is paramount and must be respected by all sides, at all times.”...
..A professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, Marya now faces suspension for speaking out against Israel’s blatant violations of international law. “The killing of healthcare workers [in Gaza] is related to the silencing of healthcare workers here [in the U.S.], and that by silencing us, the medical institutions we are a part of, which have an obligation, professionally and morally, to uphold all life, are actually abetting and enabling genocide,” Marya tells Hedges.
  Marya describes the horror scenes at hospitals across Gaza. The IDF not only targets hospitals with airstrikes but also enters them to deploy gun strapped drones that kill patients and staff as well as destroy vital medical machines and instruments. “Hamas is not hiding in those machines. This is an attempt to shorten the life of Palestinian people,” Marya says.
  Mayra, collaborating with a handful of medical professionals and lawyers, is authoring a UN report, addressing what they refer to as “the genocide enablement apparatus of Israel.” Alongside bringing critical attention to the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system, they urge the inclusion of medical professionals in future international legal frameworks for defining genocide.  “It does not take months to see that this was a genocide."   https://scheerpost.com/2025/01/09/the-chris-hedges-report-the-zionists-kill-doctors-in-gaza-and-silence-them-here-w-dr-rupa-marya/

  Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza amid stepped up ceasefire push
  Israeli military strikes across Gaza killed at least 27 people on Wednesday, Palestinian medics said, as international mediators stepped up efforts to seal a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
  An airstrike killed at least 10 people in a multi-story house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, while another killed five in the nearby Zeitoun suburb, medics said.
  In Deir Al-Balah city in central Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are sheltering, and in Jabalia, the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps, a total of seven people were killed, they said.
  Israel’s military said it struck Hamas militants operating in a school in Jabalia, and that it took steps to minimize risk to civilians.

  Israel takes steps to officially move the genocide to the West Bank Palestinian territory.  Tensions rise in the West Bank as PA ‘siege’ on Jenin continues
  The Palestinian Authority's deadly military operation in Jenin continues to fan the flames of internal tensions in the West Bank. Meanwhile, Israeli leaders are calling for 'Gaza-like' operations in the West Bank, and to cut all ties with the PA.
  On Tuesday, tensions flared after the killing of three Israelis and the wounding of eight in a shooting attack near Qalqilya, in the north east of the Palestinian territory. The shooting provoked a series of Israeli reactions, with high-ranking officials calling for large-scale “Gaza-like” Israeli military actions in the West Bank.
  Following the shooting near Qalqilya, Israel’s finance minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that Israel should “pass from defense to offense” in the West Bank, adding that “Jenin and Nablus must look like Jabalia so that Kfar Saba wouldn’t look like Kfar Azza.” Jabalia is the city in northern Gaza that was the target of a massive ethnic cleansing campaign by the Israeli military late last year, resulting in the near total de-population of the area, widespread destruction, and the killing and abduction of hundreds...
..Far-right Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, commented on the shooting in Qalqilya saying that “those who seek to end the war in Gaza will have a war in the West Bank,” and called to “cut all ties with the Palestinian Authority,” which according to him “supports terror.”

​  As nations around the world push to introduce and expand liberal euthanasia laws, the plans are sounding eerily similar to the “assisted suicide” agenda billionaire Bill Gates has been promoting for several years.
  The Microsoft co-founder argues that it is not cost-effective to provide individuals with long-term healthcare.  Instead, Gates believes his fellow human beings should be euthanized to reduce healthcare costs so that the money that would have been used for treatments can be spent elsewhere.
  In 2010, Gates weighed up the cost of keeping “terminally ill” Americans alive versus paying for teachers’ salaries.
Gates lamented:
  Americans are unwilling to question if spending money on people in the last three months of their lives was cost-effective.
He suggested:
  [T[here wasn’t a benefit in end-of-life care and a decision should be made to end people’s lives instead of providing costly palliative care.

He argued:
  [A] panel of bureaucrats should decide whether a person deserves to receive treatment, with those who are not ‘worthy of healthcare’ being euthanized by the government to save money.
Concerning the group who would decide whether people get to live or die, he said:
  That’s called the ‘death panel.’​

Medical freedom advocates are documenting emerging ties between ‘medical assistance in dying’ and organ harvesting.
​  Canadian doctors have suggested killing euthanasia victims by taking their organs, according to multiple reports, whistleblowers, and public talks. Medical freedom advocates are documenting emerging ties between “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) and organ harvesting.
​  “The best use of my organs, if I’m going to receive a medically assisted death, might be to not first kill me and then retrieve my organs, but to have my mode of death — as we medically consider death now — to be to retrieve my organs,” said Rob Sibbald, an ethicist of the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario.​   https://basedunderground.com/2025/01/08/canadian-doctors-suggest-harvesting-organs-from-euthanasia-patients-before-theyre-dead/

Everything you need to know about the Florida Grand Jury's final report on the vaccines.
​  The Grand Jury began by noting that the FDA’s approval process for the covid ‘vaccines’ was anything but normal. The seeds of problem were planted long before the vaccines were approved at warp speed:​..
​  "As befits a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic, the first clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines conducted in the wake of the OWS ‘contract derby’ departed in many ways from the ordinary vaccine approval process. Some of those departures were understandable given the extraordinary nature of the crisis, some of them less so. By another axis, some of these departures resulted in relatively little loss of safety or efficacy data, but others had catastrophic and long-term consequences for our understanding of the ability of these mRNA vaccine products to mitigate risks associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection​".
​  The bottom line is the Grand Jury, having reviewed all the evidence, concluded the FDA erred by approving the jabs for anyone but the most at risk. “Unlike the FDA,” the Grand Jury concluded, “we do not believe that the COVID-19 ‘emergency’ necessarily applied to everyone; the EUA should only have been granted as to the elderly and comorbid populations most at risk from SARS-Co V-2 complications.”​

The popular podcaster expressed surprise that the former US chief medical adviser is “still walking around”

 The imposition of restrictive measures and the scientist’s reported involvement in suppressing the theory that the virus may have originated from US-funded gain-of-function research in China have made Fauci a controversial figure.
​  Gibson was a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Thursday. Both men wondered how Fauci was “still walking around,” or “at least free” after his actions during the pandemic.
​  They were discussing the 2021 book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. titled ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’. The author, a healthcare campaigner turned politician, described Fauci as an official in cahoots with big pharmaceutical corporations, who had abused his power for decades.​

Politics Chases Reality

 Analysts,


  Gilbert Doctorow:  The mysterious ways of Donald J. Trump
  Last night’s and this morning’s lead stories on the BBC and CNN focused on the latest public statement by Donald Trump that he does not exclude use of military force or economic pressure to take back American control of the Panama Canal and to take possession of Greenland over objections from fellow NATO member Denmark, to whom the world’s biggest island belongs. He claimed that both acquisitions were necessary to further American economic security.
  A moment later in these same broadcasts, we are told about Trump’s expressing his ‘understanding’ of Russian concerns over expansion of NATO to Ukraine going back to 2008 and his rebuke to Joe Biden for having restored the issue of NATO membership during his presidency and pursued it to spite Moscow. The news presenters also point to Trump’s revised timetable for ending the conflict in Ukraine from the 24 hours he claimed during his electoral campaign to a period of six months set out today...
..Let us try to make sense of it all, if we assume that strategic logic is to be found in the thinking processes of Donald Trump. I freely admit that this assumption is risky...
..I only can say that we must sit and wait to see what were his intentions behind his appointments and whether his logic prevails.
  So it is with his latest statements about Greenland and the Panama Canal, on the one hand, and about the Russia-Ukraine war on the other. The logic I see is that a bellicose stand on produced-to-order conflicts that can be solved at little cost to Washington, the proverbial kicking ass that Ronald Reagan practiced to great effect, is intended to provide cover for what otherwise would look like a humiliating defeat for Washington should it cut military aid to Kiev and stand by passively while the Kremlin imposes capitulation on the Zelensky regime.
  Indeed, from the statement in response to Trump issued by the Prime Minister of Denmark, it would appear that he has already won that contest without having to send an aircraft carrier detachment to the Jutland coast: she said that it is up to the people of Greenland to decide their future. Up to the 56,000 inhabitants to decide their own future, given that Trump can offer them riches beyond their imagination to get their consent at the ballot box?

  Moon of Alabama,  To Avoid Fighting Large Conflicts Trump Is Creating Smaller Ones
Yesterday, during a media event, president-elect Donald Trump held one of his typical ramblings (video, transcript) which jump from issue to issue without any connecting lines.
  It was mostly about his plans for his upcoming reign. He promised more tax relief for the rich, repelling environmental regulations and an increase in oil and gas production.
  But what caught the minds of most observers were his ideas on foreign policy.
Trump is rejecting to further raise conflicts with the most obvious 'enemies' - Russia, China and Iran. He is instead diverting the public by providing new targets - Canada, Greenland and Panama.

  What Is The Economic Value Of Greenland And Why Does Trump Want It So Badly?
Of course the truth is that it all comes down to natural resources.
  In particular, Greenland has lots and lots of oil.
According to Wikipedia, Greenland “has some of the world’s largest remaining oil resources”
  Some geologists believe Greenland has some of the world’s largest remaining oil resources:[30] in 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey found that the waters off north-eastern Greenland (north and south of the Arctic Circle) could contain up to 110 billion barrels (17×109 m3) of oil,[31] and in 2010 the British petrochemical company Cairns Oil reported “the first firm indications” of commercially viable oil deposits.[32]...
..And it also turns out that the Chinese are very interested in the rare-earth elements that are buried under the dirt in Greenland.  In fact, one particular area of Greenland is “home to one of the world’s largest undeveloped deposits of rare-earth elements outside of China”.

Greenland: Environment and Mineral Resources   https://natur.gl/guidance/miljoe/?lang=en

  The $US is slipping as global reserve currency, which allows the financial empire to extract value from the rest of the world. All the oil, especially Saudi oil, being sold for $US was good collateral, but is now called into question. The Bank of England, and other City of London financial interests, like BlackRock, were heavily "invested" in overthrowing Russia and stripping Russian assets again, like the good-old-days of the 1990s. That didn't work out at all, and their "holdings in Ukraine", rich farmland, gas, coal and lithium deposits, are "unrecognized losses" due to now being located in Russia. Trump said, and is to be believed, that he will play hardball to keep the $US as global reserve currency, because it is the basis of the entire western financial system, which is the current form of colonization and wealth extraction in the world. Can he save London and BlackRock?
  I think Trump was going for a disorienting shock-effect when he talked about taking Canada as a US state, but he probably wants to mark "his" territory against Chinese organized crime, which is suddenly very powerful there. He is also warning China away from the Panama Canal.

  Gilbert Doctorow asks the trick-question:  How long can an EU member state survive without a government?
  Colonel Macgregor is counting on an electoral victory by the hard right opposition party, Alternativ fuer Deutschland (AfD) across the whole Bundesrepublik and not just in those states, mostly in the East, which have been the bases of the party’s support. However, I believe such an outcome is highly unlikely. What is more likely is a new grand coalition of the centrist parties which may even include Olaf Scholz in some ministerial post where he can do no harm. And if the CDU boss Friedrich Merz should become chancellor, we can expect ever closer German support for NATO and still more equipment and financial aid to Ukraine.
  For its part, Emanuel Macron’s France has similar woes that were imposed on it when the president called a snap election in July which he subsequently lost. The premier he then installed was unable to pass a budget through parliament and his government eventually lost a no-confidence vote, the first such instance in many decades.  Macron’s latest choice for premier may very possibly experience the same fate, and the political instability, the mounting debt crisis may bring down Macron himself. In these conditions of uncertainty and unsustainable negative budgets, the interest payable on French state bonds recently rose above those of Greece. If this continues, Macron will be forced out of office by the bankers, not by the people, who mostly loathe him but can do little about it. Should this happen, then there will have to be new presidential elections and one cannot exclude the possibility that Marine Le Pen’s hard right Rassemblement National party will take power. That would challenge the geopolitical orientation of the Union, but by itself might not yet sober up Europe. And yet, I would not place a firm bet on Le Pen: ever since 2012, the CIA has effectively stage managed French presidential elections to eliminate the powerful candidates who were outside the U.S. orbit and to ensure a succession of pitiful incompetents taking possession of the Élysée Palace.
​  Please note that neither of the aforementioned EU states has faced a government crisis rivaling that of Belgium about which no one seems to take notice...   In fact, the last parliamentary elections in Belgium which were held in June 2024 resulted in no ready coalitions possessing the votes to command a majority in parliament...  Bart de Wever, head of the Flemish nationalist party N-VA, has until the end of this month to break the deadlock and assume the reins of power. There are many who expect him to fail...   Belgium is the all-time worldwide winner for length of time without a fully functional government. They made the record back in 2018-2020, when there was no proper government for 652 days...
..The lesson to be learned from the Belgian experience is that it will take a much more profound crisis to bring the European Union to collapse, or just to sweep aside the awful elites who are in power in 25 of the Member States (I exclude Slovakia and Hungary).  Even a total collapse of Ukraine under pressure from Russian armed forces may not do the trick; the Europeans may perversely just double down on their subservience to Washington and reliance on NATO for their defense.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/01/08/how-long-can-an-eu-member-state-survive-without-a-government/

  One snippet from Simplicius:  Israel's rising threat, Ukraine revelations, and the 'Age of Anti-Westphalian DarkMaga'
Most interesting was an adjacent ‘news’ yesterday stating Iran had a secret new deal with Turkey to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah. Keep in mind this is completely uncorroborated and unsourced, and should therefore be taken with a huge grain of salt. But if there’s even a remote glint of truth to this, then Israel’s in deeper schmutz than it had imagined, and would also mean that Iran and Hezbollah have not been weakened at all.   https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/medley-report-israels-rising-threat

Chris Hedges: Genocide — The New Normal​    
This will be a Hobbesian world where nations that have the most advanced industrial weapons make the rules. Those who are poor and vulnerable will kneel in subjugation.
​  Joe Biden’s parting gift of $8 billion in weapons sales to the apartheid state of Israel acknowledges the gruesome reality of the genocide in Gaza.
This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.
​  This is a permanent, endless war designed not to destroy Hamas, or free Israeli hostages, but to eradicate, once and for all, Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
It is the final push to create a Greater Israel, which will include not only Gaza and the West Bank, but chunks of Lebanon and Syria. It is the culmination of the Zionist dream. And it will be paid for with rivers of blood — Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian.
​  Minister of Agriculture and Food Security of Israel Avi Dichter was probably offering conservative estimates when he said:
“I think that we are going to stay in Gaza for a long time. I think most people understand that [Israel] will be years in some kind of West Bank situation where you go in and out and maybe you remain along Netzarim [corridor].”
​  Mass extermination takes time. It is also expensive.
​  Fortunately for Israel, its lobby in the U.S. has a stranglehold on Congress, our electoral process and the media narrative. Americans, although 61 percent support ending weapons shipments to Israel, will pay for it.​

​  Chile lawyers demand arrest of Israeli soldier over Gaza war crimes
At least 620 attorneys in Chile have sought the arrest of a discharged Israeli soldier from Battalion 749 for his role in crimes against humanity and genocide during the war on Gaza, local media reported.
​  Saar Hirshoren is now traveling in the South American country, and, according to the complaint, was involved in the deliberate destruction of "residential neighborhoods, cultural sites and essential facilities in Gaza, committing inhumane, cruel and degrading acts, causing ethnic cleansing and forced displacement of the population."
​  The lawsuit was supported by testimony from a Palestinian lady residing in Chile, whose family members had been victims of Israeli aggression in Gaza.
​  Lawyer and former Chilean ambassador Nelson Haddad stressed Friday that the complaint was made in order to ensure an investigation takes place and "as a preventive measure, the immediate arrest of this Israeli soldier is carried out so that he can be held accountable for the crimes committed and take responsibility before international criminal justice."
​  At a news conference, Haddad stated that the arrest must occur "before the imminent escape attempt".​

  Deep-State no-like:  Senate Democrats Throw a Big Wrench in Tulsi Gabbard's Confirmation Hearing
Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is balking at the idea of holding a hearing for Gabbard early next week.
  “Warner has pointed out that the committee has not yet received Gabbard’s FBI background check, ethics disclosure or a pre-hearing questionnaire, a source familiar with the matter told us. Committee rules require the background check a week in advance of a hearing,” the news outlet said...
..A  source working with Gabbard told Axios that she completed her background check process last week and has an active security clearance.
Further, she submitted an initial pre-hearing questionnaire already and will have a second one in on time by a Thursday deadline, the source said.
Gabbard currently is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves.

​  RFK Jr. and the Samoan Measles Outbreak
​  When the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary comes before the Senate, the specter of the Samoan measles outbreak of 2019 will dramatically be invoked to challenge him. Kennedy’s critics have repeatedly relied on this topic, citing stories that claim he was responsible for an epidemic in 2019 that caused at least 83 children to die due to vaccine hesitancy...
..The most convenient and generally accepted explanations of the outbreak claim the epidemic was the result of vaccine hesitancy, causing the population to be under-vaccinated. Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination rates were reportedly low due to the deaths of two infants given improperly formulated injections in Samoa a year earlier...​ However, the Samoan Government Health Ministry reported (p. 9) in June 2019 — three months before the measles outbreak began — that 80% of 12-month-old babies had received the MMR vaccine.​..
..No deaths from measles have occurred in the U.S. in the last five years. From October through December of 2019, 1.5% of Samoan children with the disease died — over one in a hundred — at a minimum, tenfold more deaths than any previous outbreak in recent years...
​..Edwin Tamasese, a health advocate who questioned Samoan government policies during the outbreak, gave Kennedy some insight into what was happening. Tamasese was concerned about the number of sick and dying Samoan children and began to assist families whose children were severely ill... In an interview after the outbreak subsided, he said, “We were very careful to take statistics when we were going in to try to identify trends. When we assessed our numbers, 98 percent of those who were getting ill had been vaccinated consistently six to seven days prior to illness. The excuse was that the vaccine did not have time to become effective. However, according to an immunologist on the team, the six to seven-day period was also the length of time it would take an under-attenuated vaccine to make the recipient sick.”
​  The MMR vaccine is a live, attenuated vaccine that contains weakened live strains of measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles).
Doctors in hospitals also reported that the very ill and dying children did not have symptoms consistent with normal cases of measles. When the outbreak began, blood from the first thirty-nine cases had been sent to Australia; only seven samples were positive for measles...
..Neighboring Pacific island countries, Tonga and Fiji, which had concurrent outbreaks of the virus — and had a different source of the measles vaccine — did not suffer the same dramatic mortality rates. This should have raised concerns, yet there hasn’t been an inquiry into why the Samoan government switched vaccine sourcing from India to Belgium midway through the crisis.
​  renewed effort to vaccinate with this alternate supply began in the first week of December 2019; it was hailed as the reason the outbreak subsided. Measles vaccines take at least 10 days before creating an immune response. There has been no explanation for the data confirming that the onset of cases dropped dramatically two weeks before this vaccination drive could have had any effect.
The government response was not driven by factual analysis; the effort focused on promoting the vaccine and silencing those questioning authority...
..While worldwide attention on Samoa ignored dramatic inconsistencies, Kennedy was one of the few people who asked detailed and important questions. His views were marginalized; it was easier and politically correct to blame the tragedy on low rates of vaccination.​

​  Dr Ah Kahn Syed has this, The Killing Fields of Samoa,  What happened in Samoa in 2019 and why is it so important now?  from 11/19/2022
So why was the Samoan outbreak such a problem that it was reported worldwide while the Fiji/Tongan outbreaks were ignored? Well, kids were dying. A lot. ​              In fact, the death rate in the Samoan measles outbreak of November 2019 was 40 times the usual death rate for measles in developed countries...
..So there are two aspects to the devastating and fatal Samoa outbreak​:
Why did a measles outbreak occur in 3 neighbouring islands at the same time, just weeks after a delivery of UNICEF vaccines to those very islands?
Why did the death rate in the Samoan outbreak reach such high levels far in excess of what would be expected in a country with access to healthcare?...
..There is one piece of the puzzle of Samoa that has been bothering me. That is, why did a relatively vaccinated population manage to fare so badly with a measles outbreak? In order for that to happen it had to be an unusual strain. However, the official line was that the strain was a D8 strain, not a "vaccine-related A strain".
​  What has always niggled me is that I have not been able to find any genomic confirmation of the Samoa measles strain in Genbank. The only strain documented from 2019 is from Western Samoa, not Samoa. So how do we know that it was a “natural” measles strain? We don’t.
​  Now comes the insidious bit. The bit that links the fact that there is emerging evidence that SARS-CoV-2 appeared before December 2019.
​  Imagine that the world’s worst psychopaths (that is, gain-of-function virologists were to create a chimaera of one of the most infectious viruses known to man (aka measles) and SARS-Cov-2. Well they did it, and I've been banging on about it for a year. It's this little gem...That’s right. A measles-SARS-CoV-2 chimera. The measles component is supposedly taken from this paper and uses a construct from Roberto Cattaneo (Genbank MH144178) published in 2015. So, why would they use this one?.​...
​..The publication is marked Dec 2020 but it was submitted in July 2020 and included mice studies, which usually take months. It’s therefore very possible - and entirely in keeping with Baric’s MO - that this construct was made before December 2019.​..
​..Now, that strain is supposed to be an inactive strain A measles. The only problem is that, when we run a BLAST on this strain (or on the Chimera) we get a pretty good match to a D8 strain measles​...
..So… here we have a very unusual set of circumstances. Let me recap:
​  An unusually virulent measles outbreak occurs in 3 neighbouring Pacific islands after delivery of a vaccine from UNICEF
On one of the islands, the death rate of the outbreak is unusually high (and of the order of magnitude of the first COVID wave)
​  The outbreak is used to test the compliance of the population for lockdowns and forced vaccinations. There is very little resistance.
Around the time of this outbreak, Ralph Baric - implicated in the origin of SARS-Cov-2 - is involved in the construction4 of an unusual measles-coronavirus chimera in which the measles component is homologous to strain D8 measles (the strain declared in Samoa).
​  When Samoa gets its first official wave of COVID infections there are no deaths suggesting a prior immunity.​

​  We propose that the unique features observed on the Khufu and, most notably, the Khafre Pyramids indicate a prolonged period of oceanic displacement, lasting between 50 and 200 years, that submerged the Giza Plateau in antiquity. This inundation reached a height of 576 feet above current sea level, leaving a distinctive ocean water karst erosion band near the top of the Khafre Pyramid. The sustained and stable nature of this inundation strongly suggests that it was caused by a change in the georotational dynamics of the Earth sometime within the last fourteen millennia. This constitutes ‘dead body’ evidence, and it must be addressed.​   https://theethicalskeptic.com/2024/05/23/master-exothermic-core-mantle-decoupling-dzhanibekov-oscillation-theory/
