Uneasily Anticipating,
It looks to me like something big will soon "snap" in geopolitics and global finance, but what and exactly-when?
Worsening real economic conditions for the great majority of people outside Russia and China create frustrations and hopelessness, which should manifest as crowd-actions against ruling elites at some point.
Borrowing from the future has been taken beyond anything which can be serviced without borrowing, which awaits some inevitable sovereign-debt panic.
Power elites know this well and monitor it daily, seeking every possible tool to quell and prevent dislocations.
External enemies are good (Russia, Russia, Russia).
Repression of political speech on social media and the internet is appealing, but counterproductive in gross-excess.
Digital currency to be able to feed or not feed individuals, according to AI algorithms at the supermarket checkout,, look promising in the UK.
Both funding of variously-violent mass protests and cracking down on that funding are in-play in the US, along with supporting and expelling illegal immigrants.
In the US there is a power struggle between elite factions, which is also beginning in the EU, with right-nationalist-populism rising.
Ukraine is at the cusp of crisis, with the Emergency Martial Law expiring November 5, and very uncertain to be renewed, as many Ukrainians will be freezing to death in the dark by then. If this is not renewed, then there will be local (just delayed) and national elections (Zelensky & Rada).
Russian advances along most of the long line of contact are staged for further quick captures of numerous major cities, as exhausted Ukrainian troops are cut off from supply lines.
Russia has deployed the tanks again. Russia has been building their finest T-90 tanks at a rapid pace. Russia has a huge reserve of tanks.
Israel celebrates the return of their captured-soldier "hostages", and is preparing to complete the genocide of indigenous Palestinians, and maybe nuke Iran.
Potentially harvestable organs of living humans might soon be tokenized into digital currency if current trends persist...
Surplus Energy Economics, A stroll along Revolution Street CAN WEALTH AND ORDER SURVIVE?
According to a recent BBC report, some of America’s wealthiest men are, or might be, investing in bunkers, or, as the article’s headline puts it, “doom prepping”. Author Zoe Kleinman goes on to mention just one of the many reasons why bunkers may be an impractical idea:
“I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own “bunker”, who told me his security team’s first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn’t seem to be joking”...
The wealthiest must know that today’s extremes of wealth are abnormal, and might know, too, that the unfolding ending and reversal of material economic growth further stacks the odds against the continuation of this anomaly...
..The very different attitudes to private profit – largely disregarded in China, almost worshipped in the West – are critical to competition between the two leading economic powers. It’s at least arguable that the pursuit of profit is only possible under conditions of economic expansion.
The West in general – and the United States in particular – may be entering a profoundly different era with exactly the wrong set of ideas.
In its determination to maintain the central role of private profit, then, the West may be trying to board a train that has already left the station.
SEEDS analysis indicates that material economic prosperity – for which money is no more than an operating proxy and a symbol – is likely to be about 14% lower in 2050 than it is today. Based on current population trends, this would make the World’s average person about 31% poorer than he or she is now. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2025/10/11/312-a-stroll-along-revolution-street/comment-page-1/#respond

It is like they can just say anything, because something's coming to invalidate it: Hubris and Theatrics Mark Atlanticist West's Detachment from Reality
During this week’s NATO ‘Defense Ministers Summit’ in Brussels, lumpish Secretary General Mark Rutte broke the record for the most cringe-worthy statements in a two-minute span.....Not only does he pretend to believe that NATO is dozens of times economically more powerful than Russia, but that its military is “infinitely” superior as well—using the language of children...
..The most tragicomic part of the humiliated boy-toy of “daddy” Don’s rhetoric is that, if you listen carefully, its purpose appears merely to assuage his fellow apparatchiks, who are likely getting cold feet about brushing so close with death in antagonizing Russia.
Pleadingly—in the language of abject humiliation—Rutte begs them to “please take that into account”, and “take comfort” in the feigned aggrandizement of the alliance he’s so desperately heaping on to cover for its actual historic weakness. The purpose becomes clear: it’s a plying session meant to ease his compatriots’ worries; and it would not have been necessary if it weren’t for the fact that all of them believe precisely the opposite...
..The “strongman” NATO Reichschancellor goes on to flaccidly declare that the alliance will “gently” escort Russian planes that pose no threat because NATO is “so strong”—and only if NATO were “weak” would the alliance have to shoot the Russian planes down...
..To make matters worse, in a new interview disgraced “general” Ben Hodges boasted that should Russia dare attack ‘mighty’ NATO, both Kaliningrad and Sevastopol would be “annihilated” in the very first hour.....If this smorgasbord of empty narcissism wasn’t enough, the king of ego himself capped off the day of pompous exultation with a final round of face-palm-inducing jabber. After nonsensically bloviating on about 1.5 million Russian casualties, he cited “long Russian gas lines” before ludicrously claiming the Russian economy will soon “collapse”... That’s not to mention again unironically repeating the claim that he destroyed BRICS. On the contrary, BRICS has only been growing stronger, with de-dollarization booming amidst latest announcements that Indian oil companies have returned to paying for Russian oil in yuan. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/hubris-and-theatrics-mark-atlanticist
John Helmer, WHAT IS RUSSIA’S STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH VENEZUELA WORTH IF THE US ATTACKS
Last week, according to the New York Times, the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was reported to have tried to head off President Donald Trump’s escalation to frontal military attack on Venezuela and regime change in Caracas by offering “a dominant stake in Venezuela’s oil and other mineral wealth in discussions that lasted for months, according to multiple people close to the talks.” Reportedly, Maduro’s terms included: “all existing and future oil and gold projects to American companies, give preferential contracts to American businesses, reverse the flow of Venezuelan oil exports from China to the United States, and slash his country’s energy and mining contracts with Chinese, Iranian and Russian firms.” If Maduro did that, Russian sources concede hypothetically, it would amount to his revocation of Article 6 and Article 10 of the “Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on Strategic Partnership and Cooperation”.
The first provision of the treaty calls for “joint initiatives within the framework of OPEC+, the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries and other multilateral organizations, [to] promote balanced and stable long–term development of global energy markets without using artificial restrictions and unfair competition tools”. The second proposed to “cooperate in the energy sector in such areas as the exploration and development of new oil and natural gas fields, increasing the returns of fields operated by joint ventures and reducing their environmental impact.”
Maduro signed the instrument of treaty ratification in front of the Russian Ambassador to Venezuela on October 7. But that was several days after Maduro had been told the Trump Administration had rejected his scheme to replace the Russian oil companies with American ones, and had cancelled negotiations on Maduro’s term sheet led by Richard Grenell...
..“Venezuela has an unusually varied collection of air defence assets, including smaller numbers of more capable systems. However, even most of the older surface-to-air missile systems have been upgraded and, as stated earlier, are generally highly mobile, meaning they can appear virtually anywhere, disrupting carefully laid mission plans. They could still pose a threat that would have to be taken seriously during any kind of offensive U.S. air operation directed against Venezuela…At the very least, it might be expected that the Venezuelan air defence picture would prompt the U.S. military to rely heavily on stealthy aircraft like the F-35, especially for any direct strikes on targets in defended areas of the country, as well as costly standoff munitions. Such a campaign would also require the support of defence-suppression assets and other support aircraft with their associated capabilities.”
In mid-2024, the Pentagon-funded Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington concluded that Russia’s readiness to support Venezuela in a military conflict with the US is more symbolic than substantial. “Russia’s actions in the Caribbean are a form of symbolic engagement with allies that typically challenges U.S. leadership in the region… in contrast to the United States’ tangible support for Ukraine, Russian actions have been primarily symbolic, demonstrating Moscow’s capacity to engage countries close to U.S. territory and highlighting Washington’s failure to isolate Russia globally. Yet, it also indicates that Moscow is comfortable operating in the Western Hemisphere, underscoring the potential for escalation.” Oleg Tsarev — a leading Ukrainian opposition figure and candidate president for Kiev currently in exile in Crimea — has observed: “China and Russia…are major investors in Venezuela’s oil industry. China buys more than 90% of all Venezuelan oil, and is also one of the main creditors of Caracas. Russian investment exceeds $4 billion. In the event of an American invasion of Venezuela or a change in the foreign policy of Maduro, Moscow and Beijing are likely to lose their investments. Maria Machado, the newly minted Nobel laureate and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, has also offered projects worth almost $2 trillion over 15 years to the Americans.
Maria Machado, the newly minted Nobel laureate and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, has also offered projects worth almost $2 trillion over 15 years to the Americans. In general, the government and the opposition of Venezuela are now competing to see who will offer Trump more and appease him better.” “But, as practice shows, attempts to buy off the Americans, if they are firmly focused on regime change, do not lead to anything good. Maduro would be especially foolish to sacrifice relations with China and Russia at the request of the United States". https://johnhelmer.net/what-is-russias-strategic-partnership-agreement-with-venezuela-worth-if-the-us-attacks/

Lip-reader transcript of "death grip" extended handshake: Macron's ominous warning to Trump at Egypt summit: 'You will see what is about to happen'
'Nice to see you, so you agreed?' Trump told Macron who soon turned away from the camera and muttered an inaudible response.
'Are you being genuine?' Trump asks as Macron quickly replies, 'Of course.'
The commander-in-chief then tightens his grips around Macron's palm before shooting back, 'Okay, so now I want to know why, you hurt me. I already know.'
Trump then squeezes Macron's hand again as the French president looks down and away from the cameras.
It's not clear what the pair were speaking about; however, it comes weeks after Macron was seen mocking Trump with world leaders.
The two leaders have a colorful history together, often seeming to appear friendly, despite occasionally criticizing each other in public.
Speaking slowly and clearly Trump says, 'I am making peace.'
Macron then taps Trump's hand and replies, 'Ah come on', while Trump ignores and grasps tighter.
'I only hurt those who hurt others,' Trump tells Macron while pointing at the cameras.
'I see. We will have to see about that,' Macron says before issuing a stark warning to Trump. 'You will see what is about to happen.'
Trump concludes, 'I’d like to see you do it, do it. I’ll see you in a bit.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15188639/Trump-yanks-Macrons-tense-Egypt.html
His audience of supporters: In Jerusalem, Trump hails ‘historic dawn of a new Middle East’ after Gaza ceasefire deal
Addressing the Israeli parliament, Trump called the agreement that brought about a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the captives held by Hamas a triumph as he thanked mediators from the Arab and Muslim world.
“Let me also convey my tremendous appreciation for all of the nations of the Arab and Muslim world that came together to press Hamas to set the hostages free and to send them home,” Trump said in remarks before the Israeli parliament. “We had a lot of help, we had a lot of help from a lot of people that you wouldn’t suspect, and I want to thank them very much for that. It’s an incredible triumph for Israel and the world to have all of these nations working together as partners in peace.“ https://www.dawn.com/news/1948645/in-jerusalem-trump-hails-historic-dawn-of-a-new-middle-east-after-gaza-ceasefire-deal

They did this all the time during the previous “ceasefire” at the beginning of the year, using the exact same excuses.
Just as we speculated the other day might happen, Israel has announced that it is going to cut the aid it allows into Gaza in half and cut off fuel and gas shipments because Hamas hasn’t returned the bodies of all the dead Israeli hostages. Israel was fully aware when it signed the agreement that Hamas would not be able to deliver the bodies of all the hostages right away due to the rubble and chaos caused by the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza. https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-trumpanyahu-administration-is

There was a battle on between Kennedy and Israel in the days before he was assassinated: JFK Document Bombshell - Israeli Nukes
A newly un-redacted section of the JFK Assassination Document reveals something startling https://ggarros1.substack.com/p/jfk-document-bombshell-israeli-nukes Extensive, detailed and referenced: Israel was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK
JFK’s opposition to Israel’s nuclear weapons development wasn’t his only threat to Israel’s leaders. It seems that Kennedy believed in the right of return for the 750,000 Palestinians who were expelled by Zionist forces as part of the establishment of Israel in 1948.
Two articles appeared in The New York Times on 21 November 1963 – the day before JFK’s assassination – detailing US efforts at the United Nations to allow Palestinian refugees to return to present-day Israel. They were headlined: “Israel Dissents as UN Group Backs US on Arab Refugees” and “US Stand Angers Israel.”
In addition, in 1962, the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, argued that the American Zionist Council – a precursor to AIPAC – was being funded by the Jewish Agency for Israel and ordered the council to register as a foreign agent.
That order was quietly dropped in 1966 by the Johnson administration, and, in 1967, an American Zionist Council front group was renamed and reorganized as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) without having to register as a foreign agent. https://israelpalestinenews.org/israel-was-part-of-the-conspiracy-to-kill-jfk/

This is a story about a fight between titans in which Europe, due to its leaders stupidity, is the most significant casualty.
Today the Chinese government reacted to the Dutch raid of the Chinese owned company by cutting it off from Chinese technologies and products:This is a story about a fight between titans in which Europe, due to its leaders stupidity, is the most significant casualty.
Chipmaker Nexperia, a subsidiary of China’s Wingtech Technology and a major supplier of mature chips for the automotive and consumer electronics sectors, announced on Tuesday that it has been banned by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce from exporting products made in China, including those produced by its subcontractors, after the Dutch government took over the company using a Cold-War-era law to secure Europe’s chip supply.
Nexperia said it is seeking an exemption from the export ban, which could affect Dutch access to its chips. The company operates an 80,000-square-meter assembly site in Guangdong province near Hong Kong, as well as fabrication, assembly, and testing facilities in Germany, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Britain.
If the Dutch government does not retract its decision to practically confiscate Nexperia the company will die. Its business is globalized. Parts of its products are made all over the world. Its products and sales in Europe depend on subcontractor products which are made in China.
The company is important to Europe. It produces some 90 billion bread and butter components per year which flow into other higher value European products. Sure, other Chinese companies will be happy to replace those parts. But where is the win for the Netherlands or Europe in that?
In the trade war between U.S. and China Europe should have stayed neutral. It should not have buckled under pressure from either side but rely on its own substantial trade powers to stay out of the fight. It is a fight in which the U.S. has no chance to win. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/10/china-reacts-after-u-s-pushed-netherlands-to-seize-chinese-owned-company.html

No budget debate occurred. A committee met, compiled a rule, and pushed it to the engine. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/project-rosalind

Meryl Nass MD, How Processed Food Became America’s Number One Health Risk.
This is a great complement to the slide show/video I posted last night, expanding on the issue of the empty calories packed with chemicals that comprise the majority of foods consumed by Americans https://merylnass.substack.com/p/how-processed-food-became-americas Do Not Grow Unapproved Vegetables Causing Global Warming! Meryl Nass MD, Tedros is back at it: telling us how we need to destroy our food system in order to save it. The globalists really are after our food, make no mistake! Piggybacking on MAHA too. And it looks like Tedros has been to charm school and maybe been airbrushed besides. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/tedros-is-back-at-it-telling-us-how
Must Protect Bayer/Monsanto/RoundUp! Dr.Nass, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn (GT) Thompson plans to 1) include the pesticide liability waiver and 2) kill California's Prop 12 in the "Skinny Farm Bill" that must be passed this year
Once the government gets back to work the Farm Bill could be dumped on Congress at any time, with only 48 hours to respond https://merylnass.substack.com/p/house-agriculture-committee-chairman Bombshell Study Was Covered Up After Confirming Unvaccinated Children Are Healthier
The study in question involved more than 18,000 children in Michigan’s Henry Ford Health system. It was never peer-reviewed or published.
However, it was not due to bad science, but because its results contradicted the official “vaccine” narrative.
“The results are astonishing,” Siri testified.
The study confirmed that vaccinated children were:
4.29 times more likely to develop asthma.
3.03 times more likely to develop atopic disease.
5.96 times more likely to develop autoimmune disorders.
5.53 times more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders.
In total, vaccinated children were 2.48 times more likely to be diagnosed with a chronic health condition compared to those who never received a shot.
In some cases, such as diabetes or brain dysfunction, no unvaccinated children had the condition at all.
Yet the researchers, longtime vaccine advocates, refused to publish their findings, fearing for their careers.
According to Siri, Henry Ford Health leadership pressured them into silence. https://www.globalresearch.ca/bombshell-study-covered-up-unvaccinated-children-healthier/5902777
Early 2019: NIAID, DARPA, Bill Gates Intentionally Infect 80 Americans With Lab-Made Pandemic Influenza Virus: HHS Study
Majority of infected individuals became contagious to others, raising national security and informed consent concerns. No description was provided for biosafety controls, isolation conditions, or post-infection release criteria, meaning the public record offers no verification of how HHS prevented the spread of its own lab-created virus beyond the NIH facility.
This omission raises not only national-security concerns but also informed-consent violations, since people who may have interacted with participants outside the study were never notified of possible exposure to an NIH-made pathogen.
Although the paper frames the experiment as advancing “next-generation vaccine development,” its findings instead showed that vaccination failed to prevent infection or viral shedding and appeared to trigger immune hyperactivation in vaccinated participants.
The newly published HHS study therefore stands as a rare, fully documented example of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deliberately infecting American citizens with a laboratory-grown pandemic-grade virus—underwritten by HHS, DARPA, and the Gates Foundation, with no transparent account of how the resulting contagion was contained. https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/niaid-darpa-bill-gates-intentionally
