A Day Without World War Three

Still Living,

  There is so much going on in the news, and much of it seems contradictory, or changes completely from morning to afternoon, that it is difficult to keep up with, but there are unifying principles at play.
  Global, "western" $US-based finance, predicated on real returns upon lending at interest, is meeting the long decline in real industrial economy, and everything possible has been squeezed out of workers and industrial plants. Maintenance has been delayed to breakdown.
  Global finance, "old money", seems to be incorporated in "The City of London", as much as anything, though it is distributed in Paris, New York, Frankfurt, and transnationally, also. It is UK/"London" bets against Russia and for Ukraine which had to be renegotiated last summer. They are bad, but cannot be admitted, so they are being serviced with more borrowing. 
  Europe is suddenly talking about huge military spending to be borrowed, but the German bond market just puked. There is a European "summit" ongoing now, with Rothschild-Paris banker Macron sounding very belligerent against Russia in an official address last night. He is threatening Russia with French nuclear weapons stationed in Germany, it seems... Russia is alarmed. March is the best month to start a big war, according to the Pentagon and ancient Rome. Rome always started a war when citizens grew restless and rebellious.
  The Roman system was based on support of the lenders of debt at interest, the usurers, which system persists, and is naturally prone to crises, such as we are entering, where debt is unsustainable, and somebody must accept losses for the economy to restructure in a constructive way and proceed to provide for the needs of society. More ancient financial systems, where most debt was to kings and temples, would periodically forgive or reduce debts, to stabilize the economy and nation.
  If we compare financial globalist interests, which keep power and ownership in the hands of the usurers, and nationalist interests, which seek to rebuild functional national economies and strong societies, we can see this recurring clash of civilizations.
In this contexts Russia under Putin, the USA under Trump, Hungary under Orban, India under Modi, Iran and China all have a certain shared interest in maintaining national integrity, though it is common to hold internally-conflicted positions.
  This comes to a head in the Ukraine proxy war. It is time to cut losses, but "London" cannot admit losses, because "London" is bankrupt, and nbeeds WW-3 to maintain power and "ownership". That system of control by global usurers needs to be gently deflated without WW-3, and we, all of us, need to build national life-support systems with what we have, as oil supplies decline from the post-2018-peak plateau they are in.
  Every day without World War 3 is a good day.

  Ukraine has a lot of February and March 2025 IMF loan payments due, after restructuring last August, which total to around $2 million, and according to a staff level review at the end of February, Ukraine is still drawing down funds, which is fine if it increases and collects the cigarette tax. The UK backs Ukraine's IMF loans. The UK just lent Ukraine another $3 billion.

  Rubio cites Trump's views. Russia politely agrees.    Kremlin Reacts To Rubio Calling The Ukraine Conflict A Proxy War
Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a Wednesday interview with Fox News described that "It's been very clear from the beginning that [President Donald Trump] views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict."
​  "And frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear powers – the United States, helping Ukraine, and Russia – and it needs to come to an end," he followed with.​

​  Trump Piles Pressure On Zelensky, Now Demands 'Quick Ceasefire' To Go With Minerals Deal
European officials have been told that President Donald Trump wants to link the proposed US-Ukraine minerals deal to demands for Kyiv to commit to a quick ceasefire with Russia, according to people familiar with the matter.
​  Washington has indicated that Trump is ready to finalize the agreement on natural resources, which has been on hold since his Oval Office fallout with Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, on condition the Ukrainian leader agrees to tangible path for a truce and talks with Moscow, the people said.
​  This is a huge development, which could see peace talks come together quickly - as Ukraine possesses little or no leverage with either Moscow or Washington at this point (only now heavily relying on Europe, which can't fill the heavy lifting previously done by the US) or else this will see the US and Ukraine relationship suffer total collapse. And this would see the US weapon stoppage become permanent.​

​  Macron In Anti-Russia Rant Says France Considering Expanding Nuclear Umbrella To Europe
​  Surprisingly, and quite dangerously for the prospect of nuclear-armed WW3 Macron pivoted to explaining that he's considering expanding the French nuclear umbrella to all of Europe:
​  He cites the words of Germany's all-but-confirmed next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who said last month he wanted to discuss with France and the UK the possibility of extending their nuclear umbrella to cover his country.
​  The UK and France are the only two nuclear powers in Europe. "We need reforms, we need to make choices, and we need to be brave," Macron says.
​  "[Merz] has called for a strategic debate on providing that same protection to our European allies... whatever happens the decision will be in the hands of the president of the Republic and the heads of the army."​ 
Macron also says he will hold a meeting of European army chiefs in Paris next week.​

​  France, Germany, & Poland Are Competing For Leadership Of Post-Conflict Europe
​  Regardless of what ends up transpiring, the “military Schengen” that was pioneered between Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands last year and to which France expressed an intent to join will likely continue incorporating more EU members in order facilitate these three aspiring leaders’ interests. Germany needs this for its “Fortress Europe” plans, Poland needs its allies to swiftly come to its aid in a hypothetical war with Russia, while France needs this to entrench its influence in Southeastern Europe.
​  What’s ultimately being determined through the interplay of France, Germany, and Poland’s competing leadership plans for post-conflict Europe is the continent’s future security architecture, which will also be influenced to varying degrees by Russia and the US, be it jointly through their “New Détente” and/or independently. There are too many uncertainties at present to confidently predict what this emerging order will look like, but the dynamics described in this analysis account for the most likely scenarios.​

​  Reality Confronts the Euro Ruling-Strata – ‘Through the Tear in the Fantasy Bubble, They See Their Own Demise’​,  By Alastair Crooke
​  They (the Euro-élites) don’t have a chance: “If Trump imposes this tariff [25%], the U.S. will be in a serious trade conflict with the EU”, the Norwegian Prime Minister threatens. And what if Brussels does retaliate?
​  “They can try, but they can’t”, Trump responded. Von der Leyen has, however, already promised that she will retaliate. Nonetheless, the combined suite of the Anglo administrative forces is still unlikely to compel Trump to put U.S. military troops on the ground in Ukraine to protect European interests (and investments!).
​  The reality is that every European NATO member – to varying degrees of self-embarrassment – admits publicly now that none of them want to participate in securing Ukraine without having U.S. military troops provide ‘backstop’ to those European forces. This is a palpably obvious scheme to inveigle Trump into continuing the Ukraine war – as is Macron and Starmer’s dangling of the mineral deal to try to trick Trump to recommit to the Ukraine war. Trump plainly sees through these ploys.
​  The fly in the ointment, however, is that Zelensky seemingly fears a ceasefire, more than he fears losing further ground on the battlefield. He too, seems to need the war to continue...
​..As Adam Collingwood writes:
​  “Trump has torn a huge rip in the interface layer of the fantasy bubble … the governing élite [in the wake of Trump’s pivot] can see not just an electoral setback, but rather a literal catastrophe. A defeat in war, with [Europe] left largely defenceless; a de-industrialising economy; crumbling public services and infrastructure; large fiscal deficits; stagnating living standards; social and ethnic disharmony – and a powerful populist insurgency led by enemies just as grave as Trump and Putin in the Manichean struggle against vestiges of liberal times – and strategically sandwiched between two leaders that both despise and disdain them …”.
​  “In other words, through the tear in the fantasy bubble, Europe’s elites see their own demise …”.​

​  Martin Armstrong,  The Largest Protest in Modern Greek History
​  Revolutions happen when the people band together against a corrupt government and demand change. Greece came to an utter standstill over the weekend after hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to demand answers on the second anniversary of the nation’s deadliest rail disaster. It is hard to imagine the sheer magnitude of these protests, which are believed to be the largest in modern Greek history.
​  All flights were suspended. Transportation services were unavailable. Public services came to an abrupt halt as everyone took to the streets. Political affiliation, race, gender, sex, religion, and every other category that governments use to divide the people were forgotten for a brief moment in Greek history as everyone banded together against the government. This is precisely what governments fear—the people acknowledging that the government rather than their neighbor is the problem.​

​  Arab Leaders Endorse Egypt’s $53bn Plan For Gaza Reconstruction
The Egyptian plan calls for the Palestinian Authority to manage Gaza while rejecting President Trump’s call to ethnically cleanse the strip.
​  An Arab summit convened in Cairo on 4 March adopted an Egyptian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza in a bid to counter US President Donald Trump’s proposal to forcibly expel Palestinians from the strip while turning it into a “Middle East Riviera” for Israel’s Jewish settlers.
​  The final statement from the summit called for finding a realistic alternative to the displacement of the Palestinian people and, before that, the categorical rejection of their displacement from their land or within it.
​  It also condemned the “starvation and scorched earth policies” pursued by Israel to forcibly displace Palestinians and stressed the importance of implementing the second and third stages of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which call for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the strip.​

 Trump was supposed to die last July, not to have all this data.  Zelensky’s Lies Exposed: Did Palantir Give Trump & Vance the Real Ukraine Intel?
  Time Magazine boasted that tech giant Palantir Technologies embedded its state-of-the-art analytics AI software into Ukraine's government operations in June 2022.
  More than half a dozen Ukrainian agencies, including its Ministries of Defense, Digital Transformation, Economy, and Education, now rely on Palantir.
The company has access to virtually all Ukraine's data, from real-time satellite and drone footage to financial and economic records, according to the media.
  Beyond its military AI solutions, Palantir is also tasked with "rooting out corruption" in Ukraine - effectively making it the Zelensky regime’s invisible watchdog.

  Tulsi Gabbard questions if Ukraine is ‘aligned’ with US values
  Gabbard was asked about last week’s heated exchange at the White House involving Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and Trump and his vice president, J.D. Vance..The incident has sparked a backlash from Trump’s critics, including several EU leaders, who have accused him of “bullying” Zelensky. 
  However, according to Gabbard, anyone who has criticized Trump over his interaction with the Ukrainian leader is merely showing that they are “not committed to peace.”
“Many of these European countries, and Zelensky himself, who claim to be standing and fighting for the cause of freedom and democracy” are actually acting contrary to these values, Gabbard stated.
  “When we actually look at what’s happening in reality in these countries, as well as with Zelensky’s government in Ukraine, it is the exact opposite,” 
she added. Gabbard pointed to the lack of elections in Ukraine, Kiev’s criminalization of opposition parties, the shutting down of Orthodox churches, and the complete government control over media outlets.
  “It begs the question. It’s clear they’re standing against [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. But what are they actually really fighting for, and are they aligned with the values that they claim to hold in agreement with [the US], which are the values of freedom, peace and true security,” Gabbard said.
  The DNI chief further criticized Washington’s EU partners, recalling Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, where he accused European countries of implementing policies that “undermine democracy” and show that they “don’t actually believe in the voices of the people.”

Romania is by no means a passive country. The people will protest in mass when pushed – a good thing. There was a period of serious civil unrest between 2012 and 2015, which led to political reforms against pervasive corruption. That corruption is inherent in the Romanian government to a lesser degree than in Ukraine, but it is still offensive to the people who suffer from the highest poverty levels in the European Union. More than 30% of the population lives on less than $5 per day as the politicians take their bribes and stuff their pockets.   https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/romania/romanian-uprising-thanks-to-eu-us-interference-in-their-election/

  Pro-Israel Think Tank WINEP Outed as “Dark Money” Operation Driving US Wars
  The AIPAC-aligned Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), which often refers to itself simply as The Washington Institute, was recently outed as a “dark money” think tank for its lack of transparency on donors and is continuing to push the United States to engage in conflicts overseas to Israel’s benefit. Its case raises questions about how the Israel Lobby functions through think tanks across the board, shaping U.S. foreign policy behind closed doors.
  WINEP has a long history of shaping U.S. foreign policy. It was deeply involved in the neoconservative push for regime change in Iraq, joining calls for the Clinton administration to topple Saddam Hussein as early as 1998. They also pushed for U.S. military intervention and helped justify the eventual invasion in 2003.

“The decision we made last night to completely halt humanitarian aid to Gaza until Hamas is destroyed or completely surrenders and all our hostages are returned is an important step in the right direction,” Smotrich, the leader of the Religious Zionism Party, said in a statement.
  Describing the move as the “threshold of the gates of hell,” he added: “Now we need to open those gates as quickly and lethally as possible on the cruel enemy, until absolute victory.”

  Pepe Escobar,  Why Chinese models are stunning Americans in the tech catwalk
  It’s now common knowledge that DeepSeek’s development was not a product of Silicon Valley labs showered with billions of dollars of research funds. Liang Wenfeng himself revealed it: “I won’t lie, our AI was created on the basis of Soviet developments – the OGAS system of Academician Glushkov.”
  The wonders of History: a Soviet marvel auctioned off for a pittance, $15,000 in 1995 possibly because it was considered worthless, is now the backbone of China’s new digital revolution.
  Physics heavyweight Quantum Bird, formerly with the CERN in Geneva, is adamant: “The Americans lost the plot. It’s all about models employing less computing power and less data. Nvidia high-performance GPUs costing $40,000 consume too much energy..."
..This July 2024 interview with Liang Wenfeng, originally published in China by An Yong, remains essential to understand what’s behind the Chinese drive to totally redefine the rules of tech innovation...
  Liang Wenfeng is adamant: “We’re done following. It’s time to lead.” He sees competition in crystal clear terms: “I focus on whether something can elevate social efficiency (italics mine) and whether we can increase our strength in the value chain (…) It’s an honor (italics mine) to give back.”
  As Chinese scholar Quan Le has noted, Liang Wenfeng’s “intention of enhancing personal and collective creativity, thus directly benefitting the society, is not at all on the same epistemological level” of a “mindless consumerism society”. It’s about the common good, not about a Wall Street killing.

  Trump Pulls the Plug on Chevron’s Venezuela Play
The U.S. Treasury just gave Chevron Corp. a short 30-day eviction notice from Venezuela, cutting off its ability to pump and sell crude from the sanctioned country. The decision, following Trump’s vow to reverse Biden’s oil concessions to Nicolás Maduro and the cancellation of a sanction waiver just days ago, is a seismic shift that could slam both Venezuela’s already fragile economy and U.S. refiners relying on its heavy crude.
  The standard wind-down period is 6 months, according to Bloomberg.
  For Chevron, this is a hard stop after years of carefully maneuvering U.S. sanctions. The oil giant was responsible for about 20% of Venezuela’s total production, providing a rare source of economic stability and desperately needed hard currency.

  Measles and Native Populations
Measles epidemics became particularly deadly when introduced to immunologically naive populations. Notable outbreaks include:
  Faroe Islands (1846): 75% of the population infected, over 170 deaths.
Hawaii (1848): 30% mortality among Indigenous Hawaiians.
  Fiji (1875): One-third of the population perished after exposure to measles through colonial contact.

  Measles Mortality in the Armies of the Early 20th Century
  Measles mortality in soldiers was largely (>80%) due to secondary bacterial pneumonia but this could be highly seasonal, as seen in US Army recruits at Columbus Barracks 1911–13.The UK Highland Division had a lethal (65 deaths / 529 cases, 12%) measles epidemic 1914–15 but this was highly variable within different battalions.   https://jmvh.org/article/measles-mortality-in-the-armies-of-the-early-20th-century/

  For measles, R0 is often cited to be 12-18, which means that each person with measles would, on average, infect 12-18 other people in a totally susceptible population.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28757186/
