A few short comments on Empire
For those that spend their weekends having fun learning, instead of having fun in the sun.

Non-US Dollar trade is now a marketing term
I believe today (December 9th, 2022) we saw somewhat of a coup d’état, a major step towards leaving the US Dollar behind, in a blistering scenario.

Century of Humiliation – Carl Za
Carl is an excellent historian on Chinese History and how it fits into the global sphere. He is interviewed here by Brian Berletic, who was wise enough to let Carl Za speak. This is classical history that even a teenager (I hate history type) would be interested in. It is not your boring history lesson.

Mongolia
Where is this place? I must admit that when I read Pepe’s update from Slavyangrad I could not picture in my mind on a map where we find Mongolia. Here is a map and the borders are distinct – destabilize Mongolia, and that has effect on both Russia and China as it is a landlocked… Continue reading

Vax Injury Treatments
With no investigation done, I leave this to you to adjudicate. It may be snake oil, but there may be some reality in there. All I know is that certain effects of certain medications can be reversed but it takes time, years sometimes, and patience. From studies in meditation, clear changes in DNA can be… Continue reading
