International Man: In your view, what role does the Treasury market play in global finance, and how significant is it to the current financial system?
Doug Casey: It's only important because it exists-but it shouldn't exist. People think that the Treasury market is part of the cosmic firmament, but there once was a time when the US government had little or no debt outstanding, and the world got by fine without it.

Will we soon witness the world's first nuclear war? Following nuclear-armed India's attack on nuclear-armed Pakistan, media outlets all over the globe quickly published stories about the possibility of nuclear war. In fact, this morning the main headline on the Drudge Report was "WORLD HOLDS BREATH" in all capital letters. Yes, it is entirely possible that a nuclear war could erupt between India and Pakistan.

Everyone has the right to make up their own minds about these tensions and the Kashmir Conflict that lies at their core, but they should also know that there's more to all this than what they might be led to be believe by the organized pro-Palestinian movement and the Alt-Media Community.
India carried out several surgical strikes against Pakistan on Wednesday morning as part of "Operation Sindoor", which is its response to last month's Pahalgam terrorist attack that saw the allegedly Pakistani-affiliated culprits slaughter over two dozen Hindu tourists, who were targeted on the basis of their faith.

Many Americans remain convinced that tyranny and oppression could never happen here in the United States. We are different from other countries, they say. We are more enlightened. We are exceptional. The United States will always be a free country, no matter what.
Of course, there is always a problem with the meaning of the word "freedom." It means different things to different people.

When liberals destroyed religion, they destroyed morality. With the demise of morality went integrity and a person's word. Today Western societies are overwhelmed by crime. Sexual morality is long gone. Young women compete for attention according to which woman can copulate with the most men in a 24-hour time period. One contestant says her father is very proud of her.

Studying the history of international relations is in some respects a study of forgetfulness. One generation is swept into the maelstrom of a great struggle against an evil adversary. After that generation dies, the next generation retains only a dim memory of what the old men of the previous generation were carrying on about. New resentments and antipathies form.

In 1989, a courageous young woman exposed the satanic Jewish forebears of the Illuminati cult that now dominates the world. They are Sabbatean Frankists who hate assimilated Jews as much as goyim.
On May 1, 1989, a "nice Jewish girl", age 29, Vicki Polin appeared on the Oprah Show and said her family was part of a satanic cult that dates back to the 1700s.

A long time ago when I was a kid, our local hospital was one of the rocks of our community. While it was not usually a destination of choice, you had confidence that the hospital was there solely for the purpose of taking care of you or your family when something went wrong. The hospital was a distinct entity, separate from the various businesses in town whose primary and necessary objective was to turn a profit.

The issue of sovereignty had been a hotly debated topic among the Revolutionary-era colonists. In The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution historian Bernard Bailyn says that in "The last analysis it was over this issue that the Revolution was fought." Thomas Hobbes, writing in the mid-seventeenth century, Bailyn continues, argued that the only requirement of a sovereign was the capacity to compel obedience, which didn't necessarily mean the king.

L'asservissement des peuples par la dette : un système qui profite à quelques-uns
Dans un édito précédent sur l'Agenda 2030, j'évoquais les mécanismes qui limitent la liberté des peuples. Aujourd'hui, je me concentre sur le plus insidieux d'entre eux : la dette. Loin d'être une simple question comptable, la dette publique et privée est un levier de pouvoir qui pèse sur les 8 milliards d'habitants de la planète.

L'asservissement par la dette – Explication des mécanismes (partie I)
Dans un monde où la finance est devenue un outil de domination, la dette n'est plus seulement un mécanisme économique, mais une arme de contrôle systémique. Ce phénomène, qui s'est accéléré depuis les années 1970 avec des pratiques comme la dématérialisation des titres ou l'utilisation des « repurchase agreements » (accord de rachat ou repos), plonge ses racines dans une histoire bien plus ancienne.
