The world has changed to a TriLateral system of governance where three superpowers agreed to split up the territory of the earth... This happened to avoid a broad conflict,, and total destruction of civilization...


Russia proved itself,, that it deserved a seat by defeating NATO,, destroying its capabilities and bankrupting Europe...

Venezuela got traded for Taiwan and Ukraine... This was all part of a deal that was struck 10 years ago...

What comes out of this? in my opinion the most important element to this is that there will no longer be "International Waters" which means there will no longer be "Maritime Law"... Each territory will go to the middle of the oceans to its east and west... Each super power will patrol its own oceans...

Russia defeated NATO? Guess the mainstream media forgot to cover that story. It's close to 4 years and Russia hasn't yet defeated Ukraine, a nation of only 60 million people. Russia lost most of its best soldiers and has been drafted unqualified recruits from its prisons. Seems like most of Europe is in better shape than Russia. And if this deal was struck 10 years ago, why is Russia still bogged down in Ukraine?

And without international waters, maritime international trade will fizzle out. But not to worry. With Trump at the helm of the good ship Lollipop, the U.S. will be a banana republic in no time.

What you see on the mainstream news is not the truth... This Ukraine war was always intended to drag out to burn up all of NATO's resources and to bankrupt the Central Banking System...

Somali Salmo,


To an extent, Rich is correct. Russia is fighting the war without debt and with their own resources. Ukraine and is borrowing/financing the war. Ukraine has no money. NATO is mostly funded by the US, which also has no money. This will de-stabilize the Central Banking System of the west if allowed to continue.

The Banking system which controls the world is in real trouble... A system of debt has a shelf life and we are well beyond the end of this one...

All the corruption and fraud,, debt expansion cannot continue because it will collapse the system,, but if it does not continue the system will collapse anyways because the system is reliant on corruption,, fraud and the expansion of debt...

If we look into the history of how different world empires are started and fall we can see there are 7 steps to how this happens and it is all related to the financial systems, deficit spending and banking. Here are those 7 steps.

1. Sound Money
2. Layers of Public Works
3. Massive Military Development
4. War
5. Debasement of Currency
6. Loss of faith
7. Currency Crisis/Crash

If you look at this list, we are currently at step 6 which could quickly turn into step 7. But before we talk about current events and what we are seeing, let’s take a few moments to talk history.

Our founding fathers were well aware of the evils of the big bankers. They fled England where the corrupt banking system exploited the common folks and wanted to establish a new system independent of government and based on sound money and using only gold and silver as legal tender. This was able to last for about 150 years before Keynesian economics took over with under the guise of creating a stable economy with central banking and the subsequent introduction of fiat currency. In 1913 there was the establishment of The Federal Reserve private bank which the treasury gave the power to “run” the economy. Federal income taxes were also introduced. At this time, debasement was occurring as there was a permitted reserve ratio of 40%. Basically, a $50 dollar bill was a receipt good for only $20 worth of gold.

In 1944 the Brenton Woods agreement was made which was a strategy to create stability to have most world currencies backed by the dollar, which was backed by gold. This made sense since at the time the United States owned 2/3 of the worlds entire supply of gold. The hope was this could stabilize world currencies and economies, but it put all the eggs in one basket and the setup became ripe for failure if something was to happen to the dollar.

It didn’t take much time before things started happening to the dollar. The US began to stretch itself thin and slowly pissed away it’s gold reserves. It wouldn’t be able to provide the gold it needed for the number of dollars (receipts) issued. Then in 1971 there was a drastic turn as Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard and dollars were now backed by absolutely nothing but faith. No more gold.

This enabled the federal government to now spend like a drunken sailor. With the ability to print money out of thin air with no actual backing, we started to see continued deficit spending, financing of overseas wars we don’t belong in and belligerent waste. The government now provides funding and financing to everything. They give aid to countries across the globe, even to countries that burn our flag and chant “Death to America.” This out of control spending is now offset through further debasement by inflation which is an invisible tax on savings and dollars. When more money is printed and put into circulation it becomes worth less. This most critically impacts the poor and the middle class. There is no accountability and YOU the citizen and taxpayer are bearing the consequence.

With inflation upon us, we will see the slowing of the economy as consumers curtail frivolous spending and save for necessities. The slowing of the economy then needs to be managed and “stimulated” with more government handouts which only further debases the currency and kicks the can down the road.

Do we really need to send billions in aid to Ukraine? Do we need to be involved in the Middle East? How about Somalia? Do we really need hundreds of military bases in over 100 countries across the globe? Does this really enhance our national security? Meanwhile our radars weren’t even detecting Chinese weather balloons over our own country and own borders aren’t secure. But don’t worry! We will make sure the borders in foreign countries are secure. We are overreaching and also not triaging where and how our military funds are being spent.

Current national debt is $38 trillion dollars. But don’t worry! Deficits don’t matter! The debt ceiling will be increased and the can will be kicked down the road again. Democrats are the biggest offenders to this and Republicans to a lesser degree as they at least speak lip service to being fiscally responsible. But don’t worry! Keep arguing with one another that it is the other party’s fault while failing to look at your own team.

This whole system is going to crash very soon. Step 7. You want to know what we should be doing? End The Federal Reserve. End Federal Income Taxes. Go back to gold and silver as currency. Own physical bullion. Back the dollar to commodities and precious metals. But don’t worry! You want to know what will happen? Politicians will continue the status quo and blame the other side for the problems. People will continue to vote for Biden’s Bush’s and Clinton’s and bury their heads in the sand.

Rich,

Why was Russia "supposed" to win Ukraine in 4 days if the purpose was to drain NATO resources? Russia appears to be bogged down in Ukraine. Inquiring minds need to know.

Streamer,

If Russia is fighting with its own resources, why did it have to obtain missiles and drones from N. Korea and Iran? NATO is heavily funded by the U.S., but are you sure about "mostly?" i.e., more than 50%? And the NATO nations and military infrastructure are not "mostly" funded by the U.S. or funded at all by the U.S.

What any of this does to the central banking system is above my pay grade, so I have nothing to offer.

Regarding the economy, yes, it has gone to hell in a hand basket. Fiat currency, like the U.S. dollar, based on the "full faith and credit of the U.S." is cultural fiction. But, as has been mentioned in this sub-forum before, gold and silver as currency are also cultural fiction. Yes, gold and silver have some intrinsic value in their industrial applications, but it's mostly cultural fiction as well.

Do we need to be involved in Ukraine, the middle east, Somalia, and elsewhere around the globe? Yes and no. For a time I once favored isolationism, as in, why get involved in all these messes around the world that don't really concern us? There is some sense in that, but ultimately it's naive. Efficient transportation and communication has made nearly everything global in nature whether we like it or not. We could try to be isolationist, but we need resources from outside the nation to serve our modern lives. That requires interaction on the global stage. Stepping back from that stage only invites other aggressors to whittle away at us. The U.S. is not invulnerable.

An aside: "you know what the U.S. is number one at? It's in believing that we're really number one." That's sometimes said as a joke, but there is far too much truth in it.

Backing off the world stage will only hasten the U.S.'s departure to "former empire" status. Powerhouse status requires alliances. No nation is "too big to fail."

Did the Roman Empire fall due to the 7 steps? Or the British Empire?

The US is the biggest funder of NATO. Historically, this has been by almost as much as 1/4 of NATO’s budget but has more recently dropped to about 16%. The US is still the biggest funder of NATO.

Russia obtained weaponry from outside of Russia, but it was mostly paid for. Not heavily financed through debt.

So you acknowledge to at least 50% that we shouldn’t be involved as much as we are in the affairs of other countries. The remaining amount you are incorrect about because we can freely trade with anyone while also not concerning ourselves in their affairs. There is always some potential destabilization with the ability to trade to some extent with this approach, but is the price we should rightfully pay. We have no entitlement to the world’s resources.

Wrong. It will only strengthen us. Some of America’s most prosperous times have been when we don’t get involved or overextend.

Plus or minus a step or two, yes. Overextension largely played into both collapses. Read some history bro.

If we become isolationist our ability for free trade will likely be restricted as China and Russia scarf up as much of the planet as they can, possibly with some other interlopers like India, maybe Brazil, and who knows who else. Just because the U.S. becomes isolationist doesn't mean that any of the other large players on the global stage will.

"Plus or minus a step or two, yes. Overextension largely played into both collapses. Read some history bro."

Yes, largely due to over extension. I've read some history "bro."

You asked how Britain and Rome fell. I told you. If you read your history you wouldn’t have insinuated disagreement by asking.

You’re making an assumption that Russia and China will acquire all the resources and play unfairly. Trading involves also receiving an incentive. If America offers something in demand there will be incentives to trade with us. I will acknowledge there being a degree of uncertainty, but what is certain is we currently over-involve ourselves to our detriment.

Is the Tri Lateral world order we have entered clear? It should be at this point,, when China Takes Taiwan without any real US involvement it will be crystal clear...

Another big signal is what happens in Israel/Gaza... You are starting to see that Peace is not an option for Israel,, they will derail any attempt for peace .. What is going on in Israel and the middle east is that the United States is trying to clean up its mess before the re structure of territory goes official... Russia will oversee Israel,, makes sense because over 70% of the population in Israel speak Russian...

China will oversee Iran,,, Currently the United States is trying to clean up that mess it created with the banking cartel,, bring back the Democratic Monarchy prior to the change over...

Greenland is a huge signal to what is happening,, pay attention...

The world is broken in to three pieces overseen by 3 super powers to avoid a massive world war and total destruction...

There are secrets in Greenland just like there are secrets in Antarctica...

Much of the secrets will be revealed,, probably slowly after the Banking Cartel/1 world order officially collapses...

During the official collapse of the Banking Cartel the optics will get scary/traumatic.. we will get to the edge of the cliff,, while at the same time things go haywire here in the United States with the fall of the Banking Cartel and collapse of the Corporation,, individual state and local corporations will all collapse/go bankrupt...

We are on the cusp of much being revealed regarding the corruption in the states and local governments,, so much corruption/theft it will be nearly impossible to believe... So much corruption and fraud the only reasonable course of action will be to dissolve what exists and form a new representative government on all levels...

Of course Russia will oversee Europe,, half the middle east and the northern half of Africa... Russia defeated Europe in Battle and bankrupted the EU... Europe belongs to Russia in the same way north/south America belong to the United States.. Its no longer a global system with a one world order,, one world financial system... There will be 3 different systems but they will intertwine with each other...

Its not a theory,, its reality,, its already happened/happening...

instead of a single interest running the world and making the decisions there are now 3... 3 somewhat equal parties where not a single one can defeat the combined 2 in kinetic conflict,, economic conflict...

How Owellian. Three super powers. Two always at war, with the players involved in the war shifting around, but only two involved in the war at any given time.
