The discussion how to fund big war … Here is an article as to where to get the soldiers from.  This only applies to Latin America and there are many like Latin America.

Oh, they can fund it Mr.P.  Their money is elastic.  They fund it by conquest – one method.  The one method that they used of old (Hitler) is that when he conquested Poland, he walked to the bank and took their gold of course, and this happened everywhere.  We do not usually see that as a method of funding, because us normal people see it as theft.  Besides all that, any savings accounts or taking property.  And then, labor was done by conscripts and payments were done by all kinds of floated worthless script.  Now with computers, it is easy as pie using what they call stablecoins (they are not stable but can easily be used as methods of conquest and I have this stinky idea that is why they’re floating stablecoins).  After the 1stWW, the profits of conquest of that war was still floating about ripe for the pickings.

But the lady, the MelK show is (and this is my perspective) is of a very specific ilk.  Fighting a one world government and saying America was deceived.  What she does not say, is that the world was deceived.  And the ilk is that of Breitbart and even the Epoch times, that old anti-China (I don’t have a name for it but if I had, it would be bad!).

The idea is that the US never wanted to be in cahoots with anyone, citing documents of old.   So, they were deceived.  What is the unspoken opposite of that, is that they wanted to remain empirical, and lead the world.  Trump shows us that in technicolor.  This is not new.  In my world, that was not a deception, but a choice.  The take-over of Germany was but the one very visible example of that choice and in recent history.

How to Hide an Empire from Daniel Immerwahr you might enjoy and you may find it free as it is a little older now.  For this one here one has to upload something. https://cdn.bookey.app/files/pdf/book/en/how-to-hide-an-empire.pdf

The American conquest of territories started long before even the 1st WW and long before we noticed that the British empire was not top of the heap any longer.

I do not see how this lady can say that America was deceived.  They conquested the whole country from others.  Again, not a deception but a choice.  The whole Europe by way of the EURO was conquested in this way of course and then, they all continued with NATO to Russia’s borders.

Thanks.  I enjoyed that!  Something for the gossip pages — I once discussed this book with Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson, wanting them to give us a short overview of the funding of the two wars and the interplay of empire.  Radhika did not like it because Immerwahr was talking about ‘brown people’.  She thought it was a racist book.  I made an error and quipped … so, tell us about the white people then – it fell flat.  Lesson, not everyone has a sense of humor and this lady may have been last in the list when senses of humor were distributed.

No need whatsoever to be sorry.  Follow your bliss as you choose and salt or not.  I needed to write that down anyway and now I am done with it and have a link for the email box.  Many worry about a moral aspect.  I did not lose friends, neither did we lose hits on the site with a long standing collaboration morally fizzling and my own sadness.  I was accused for not going with this crowd and how much was done for me to grow Sovereignista and so on.    Luckily I had the stats right at hand, and it turned out there was no harm done to us.  To the contrary.  At one stage, it felt like I was given another ‘handler’.  The regular one believes I am fully under control lol, but I’ve brought him to confession anyways.  This spook world is insane and there was altogether too much time spent on it this past week.  I was truly overwhelmed.

Yes, I think we are looking at a great war unless Russia and China shake their sticks.  But, no crystal ball.  The economics are now fully baked in the cake.   People like Glen Diessen and I came across a few shorts from Jeffrey Sachs and those people are truly deeply worried.  I am too but I am also worried about everyone here.  We’re hitting in excess of 2 million real views this month.  I am ‘wrecking’ my brains if we also have to go invisible, like everyone crawling in behind substack (but for me it won’t be substack).  I still have half a piece written on how the EU and the US in reality can fund a big war.  Believe me, they can – you gave me some good video and information as to what they did to fund the two great wars.  There is no way I’m going to put such a financial strategy in public, specifically because we see it beginning to play out.  You know, Sovereignista is like an iceberg .. the discussion is below.  There are these 3 small what I call groups of friends, but they are in essence think tanks.  So, I’m wondering about a private think thank for those who would use it.  Or slam the whole site behind a paywall (not for the payment, but for the wall).  At this moment I cannot see sites like Tasnim or PressTV – slammed close and where I am they don’t have this – so, this block is on a whole other level.  Anyway, still doing a few things to try and solve this.   I saw a snippet of an interview with Eric Clapton – sorry, it was Roger Waters – where he says he cannot see Russian sites any longer or perhaps it was just RT which is truly big .. Now in a few African countries, some Latin America, India fwiw, and besides their marshmellow reporting on their main site, their interviews and documentaries are good.

If I look at the trajectory of information, I can see the prison doors close.  Just look at George Galloway and similar.  Another special Mango Express coming in …

I’m not going to debunk.  I’m writing a little detailed as I will need this for a voracious email box.  Circumstances put me in touch with this group.  Some fog was dissipated.  This group is adamant that it will continue spreading Pakistani Secret Service information – correct or not correct, factual or not factual, irresponsible or not irresponsible.  What I was left with – unspoken but clear – is blame the source if it blows up, or walk it back slowly over the next week or so or leave it to be forgotten.   I have many requests for debunking, but oh man … its not my job.

The statements of utter ‘pretend’ confusion on why Saudi Arabia is doing what it is doing is only sowing disinformation.  It is clear why Saudi Arabia is doing what it is doing – it is a vassal state and the US told them to bomb Yemen’s airport, paid them in promises of money as well as promises of investments in the US – These payments went out to the whole region, as well as special advanced chips for the UAE.  It is clear and open source information.  Yemen has declared war as near as dammit against Saudi Arabia, as Yemen knows the bombing was not a false flag.  This evening, Iran is bombing Saudi Arabia after a few days of not doing so.  The war thread has details.

The Chinese and Pakistan .. Sure, they talked.  It was the opening conference of the huge WAICO (World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization”.  (But that remains unsaid, so that it looks like special talks).  It was talks on the sideline of the summit and Wang Yi had sideline discussions with everyone there.  China has called for moving back to peace talks every single day since this war on Iran started – they did this through their Foreign Affairs Ministry, through the UN Security Council and through special written and published communiques to various organizations and through their media.

This episode’s Big Secret … Pakistan will not attack Iran.  OK, they attack certain Iranian provinces almost daily.  These are the provinces connected with Afghanistan – Balochistan.   Here is the map that somehow does not want to save properly to insert here (sorry using BBC for speed, but it is a real map – the rest of the text I cannot vouch for as I have not read it .. was only looking for an easy map).  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68035478 

What also remains unsaid is the protests within Pakistan where both the UN offices and the US embassy is attacked.  The Pakistanis, as well as the Iranians, do not want the Memorandum of Understanding or any kind of new negotiations.  https://spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/international/2026/03/01/protesters-try-to-storm-u-s–consulate-in-pakistan-killing-iran-supreme-leader

I will never say to anyone that anything is off limits to post or to discuss (within the limits of decency ya’know and sure, I have a dirty joke to tell.)  What I am saying here is that there are people that accept the job of being influencers.  So, for everyone, carefully assess the information and do not swallow it wholesale.  I am really not the only one.  I feel as if my name is Grok if I look at my inbox.

One more quick .. Beidu satellite services or perhaps ISR – Beidu is a commercial supplier.  Iran may be buying from them, or they may be getting a special price, or free.  At the time of the attacks on Yemen, I said that the Chinese satellite systems are being used.  But, Iran has sent up their own satellites as well.  How sure are we it is Beidu?  I like Jam-e Jam 1.  https://wanaen.com/how-many-space-launches-has-iran-conducted-in-the-past-year/

Iran works with Russia for satellite launches.

And there is this:

A new ballistic missile appears to have been used in the IRGC’s latest strikes

It appears that during last night’s attacks by the IRGC Aerospace Force on enemy positions, a new ballistic missile was used. The missile is reportedly the result of combining the warhead of the Kheibar Shekan missile with the booster of the Haj Qassem ballistic missile.  The use of the Haj Qassem missile booster is believed to increase the missile’s speed, while the Kheibar Shekan 2 warhead is considered to have a higher probability of penetrating air defense systems compared to the standard warhead used on the Haj Qassem missile.

The Mango Express.  One of the previous episodes has the little story that the Pakistani’s sent world renowned Pakistani Mangoes (the best in the world! they say) to Trump, to influence him with Mangoes to go back to the Memorandum of Understanding.  You’re receiving information here that is ‘mango shaped’.  But, one can learn from that as well.  The last big secret, that Iran is talking about abandoning the NPT was open in the media in at least two sources that I saw, at least six days before it was announced as ‘secret information’.

So kids!  Either much more mangoes or study Iran properly!

I’m so glad to see Chris Norlund. I forget about him and I so like him!

Well, ṕoof!  seems as if it is over.   This whole thing is getting to be funny.  Pete Hegseth running around for an hour and making ‘serious pronouncements’.   We will see in the next hours.

Aah, Mr P .. Andrei left with many other Russians because it was impossible to survive in his circumstances. He left with a good intention to bring a family back together in the US, one more time. That was also at the time when the US advertised the ‘opportunity’. He is one of those that perhaps had big dreams, just as he voted for Trump, with big dreams. How can we beat up anyone for dreams?

You know, the dreams of a musician in part, the music, the rock, painting a story that was maybe in itself a dream. US soft power is intoxicating and I’m glad I grew up with the harsh British rock. Now today, there is integration family wise, and he chooses, or selects, for family. There may have been or there maybe is a fear of going back as many people did things that now, looking back, may be inexplicable. I know of others in the same circumstances.

What I have to say for him, is that up to now, he takes responsibility for his decision at the time and does not indulge in blame in this sense. He takes the lickin’ and keeps on tickin’. There is something to say for that.

I get mad with him on issues of racism and unfortunate expressions of ‘the other is bad’ and in that I mean what was called ‘third world countries’. I also knee jerk if he starts talking psychology as he just wrong but that is par for the course. In that sense, in terms of China, when I very gently took him to task and openly talked about it, he took it, and never insulted again. (Oh there is this wide bodied airplane that comes up from time to time, but it is small potatoes in the big scheme of things).

But being in a fairly similar position, I have an understanding. To be sure, I am talking about things that I’ve seen through the years, but he never expressed in public, so, expressed here as my own musings.

It is quite a tough day, as I’ve heard of another bunch that is just truly false in their testimony. “Oh what a tangled web … ” it is now “Oh what an ugly web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”

Tomorrow is another day. Regrets? We could all have them but then again, we can also be pragmatic.
