The provisions placed by the Democrats are utterly absurd. The headlines discuss the issue of health care without mentioning the endless demandsthey’ve made that in no way benefit America or the American people. Half of our elected representatives are refusing to reopen the government unless the GOP agrees to send $5 billion in taxpayer funds to foreign nations.
What will these foreign nations do with our $5 billion in aid so crucial that the US government cannot effectively operate without it? Naturally, the majority of the package ($1.8 billion) will be funneled through USAID into NGOs that line politicians’ pockets. The organization will also require an additional $200 for administration costs.
Global Health and PEPFAR-linked Programs requires $900 million to fund globalist disease-based control through shady NGOs, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF. Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (International Disaster Assistance) to the tune of $850 million must be sent to places like Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan. Peacekeeping and Security Support will require $700 million and will be spent on FAILED missions in Haiti, Lebanon, and Mali, among others.
Forget America’s economy—the Democrats wants to provide $600 million to the Economic Support Fund (ESF) & Democracy Initiatives. The money will go toward anti-corruption measure, ironically, and governance and freedom programs throughout Eastern Europe and Latin America. Since the debt ceiling is of no concern, the Democrats want to spend another $440 to global organizations like FAO, UNDP, and the International Development Association.
The situation becomes stranger when you look at the details. Honduras apparently needs $25 million in aid immediately for “climate resiliency.” The Balkans require $5 million LGBTQ democracy grants. There is a plan to send $2 million to support Democratic feminist principles in Africa. Again, half of America’s elected officials believe the government simply cannot operate without this funding.
The Democrats cannot fathom why Republicans are not willing to spend an additional $1.5 TRILLION. That’s adding 25% of all federal spending on top of the current budget. Yet, these politicians grab their microphones and cry that the GOP wants to prevent “middle-class folk” from achieving the American dream. These people have destroyed the middle class and are intent on destroying the US economy because their actions only benefit their wallets rather than the people.

The Fed may create policy, but it is ultimately dictated by the markets. Powell came out and reaffirmed the central bank’s fears of a hiring slowdown. Soon, the bank will no longer shrink its $6.6 trillion balance sheet, previously allowing $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries to mature each month without replenishment. Powell insists that the Fed needed to buy into these vehicles during the post-pandemic recovery to lower rates in a failed attempt to manipulate the business cycle.
“With the clarity of hindsight, we could have—and perhaps should have—stopped asset purchases sooner,” Powell said. “Our real-time decisions were intended to serve as insurance against downside risk.”
The Treasury is issuing record debt, and the private sector is no longer interested in purchasing. Capital is moving out of public debt, thus the Fed has no choice but to halt buying. China began selling off US debt long ago. Japan, the top foreign holder of US debt, is facing a massive default due to its own mishandling of fiscal policy. Foreign central banks have been net sellers of Treasuries for years, and domestic institutions will not absorb endless new issuance without higher yields. The Fed is stuck because it must continue expanding the balance sheet merely to fund government, but it will NEVER be sufficient because politicians spend into eternity.
The current administration believes lowering rates will fix everything. Cheaper borrowing will not entice businesses to take on more debt when they do not have confidence in the future. Borrowing costs do not matter when businesses see demand waning. The central bank has been conditioned through Keynesian lenses to lower when hiring slows.
The Fed’s tinkering will merely buy time. The central bank has lost control over the bond market, while the government’s confidence years ago caused a massive swing from public to private.

QUESTION: You believe that Zelensky impedes peace with Russia?
GB
ANSWER: Of course, Zelensky, I believe, is a NeoNazi and he gets his instructions from the Neocons and London. He pretended to be Christian, like George Soros, and joked about confiscating the assets of Russians and Jews. He announced he was suddenly Jewish ONLY after he became president.
I believe that he must be forced to have an election and let the Ukrainian people decide. Had the Minsk Agreement been hnored, there would NEVER have been a war. It is time to end the propaganda and tell the truth.
Putin initially tried to explain to Zelensky the importance of the Minsk Agreement.
Zelensky has even called for NATO to nuke Moscow in pre-emptive strikes. The hatred in Ukraine of Russians goes beyond all reason. They blame Russians when Stalin was from Georgia, and his right-hand man, who proposed taking the food from Ukraine, which led to the starvation of millions, was in fact a Ukrainian Jew from Liev, Lazar Kaganovich (1893-1991), who most likely wanted retribution against them for their persecution of Jews.
They blame the Russians for the tyranny of Stalin, whom even Lenin warned the Duma that he should not succeed him. It is often rummored that perhaps Stalin poisoned Lenin. By embalming Lenin and displaying him like a saint’s relic, Stalin and the Party leadership transformed Lenin into a secular deity. This “Lenin cult” gave the Soviet regime a sacred center—an object of mass devotion. Stalin positioned himself as the guardian of Lenin’s legacy, gaining legitimacy as Lenin’s rightful heir.
Lenin’s death could have divided the Party—especially since Lenin had warned against Stalin’s rise in his “Testament.” Stalin neutralized that threat by controlling Lenin’s memory. The embalming turned Lenin into an eternal revolutionary, and Stalin used that to suggest continuity between Lenin’s vision and his own rule—even though their policies diverged sharply.
Instead, they latch on to a comment from April 2005 when Putin told the nation that the collapse of the Soviet empire “was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century” and had fostered separatist movements inside Russia that we will also see in the United States and Europe when any centralized government becomes authoritarian. But they have taken Putin’s statements out of context about the Soviet collapse, which was a tragedy for Russians. He said:
“First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century. … As for the Russian people, it became a genuine tragedy. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens and countrymen found themselves beyond the fringes of Russian territory.” He also referred to the Chechnya separatist movement that became an “epidemic of collapse has spilled over to Russia itself.”
Indeed, the Donbas region in Ukraine stranded Russians who had moved there for various reasons. They did not see themselves as Ukrainians, and Zelensky banned their language and their Orthodox Christianity, even ordering that Christmas would now be December 25th. This was the greatest tragedy that the Russians were stranded. What the fake news will not report is all the intermarriages, even in Ukraine, between native Ukrainians and Russians.
They overlook that Putin was particularly critical of Lenin and said he was not a statesman but just a Bolshevik in 2016. He said that Lenin created “a time bomb under our state.” He also denounced Stalin for the massive purges that killed millions, but noted his role in defeating the Nazis in World War II. Putin also blasted the Bolsheviks for making Russia lose World War I in their quest for power, making Russia suffer defeat by Germany and cede large chunks of territory just months before it lost World War I. “We lost to the losing party, a unique case in history,” Putin said.
As long as our fake news continually reports the Neocon/ NATO propaganda that Putin invaded to take all of Ukraine unprovoked, why should Russia believe anything that comes from the West? A Gallup poll in mid-2025 found that 69% of Ukrainians favor “a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible,” compared to 24% who support fighting until total victory.
The “Gradus Research” poll in February 2025 said that 23% of respondents would vote for Zelensky if elections were held immediately, though the survey also reported many undecided voters.
Peace is attainable, and I believe that the key is to cut off ALL money to Ukraine for anything until Zelensky stands for election. The Ukrainian people should be allowed to vote on the future of their own country. We were denied the right to vote on going to any war, like Vietnam. These decisions are always made in the backroom. What is taking place in Ukraine is no different. Let the people decide their own future, not NATO and London.
Dealing With the Fake News
In a 1958 speech to the Radio and Television News Directors Association, veteran CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow told a room full of TV executives,“We are currently wealthy, fat, comfortable and complacent.” Murrow produced a series of reports that helped lead to the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his trumped-up witch hunt for communists, when it was revealed that he was making accusations without evidence. Murrow was one of journalism’s greatest figures, noted for his honesty and integrity in delivering the news; we have lost so much ever since that standard. Murrow used his position to take on powerful politicians and defend the American people, a free press as envisioned by Thomas Jefferson. He also exposed issues such as segregation and warned that the new TV medium was being used to “distract, delude, amuse and insulate” the public.
The FCC repealed the Fairness Doctrine, which has been rather disastrous. The Fairness Doctrine required that TV and radio stations holding FCC-issued broadcast licenses to (a) devote some of their programming to controversial issues of public importance; and (b) allow the airing of opposing views on those issues. This meant that political programs were required to include opposing opinions on the topic under discussion. Broadcasters had an active duty to determine the spectrum of views on a given issue and include those people best suited to represent those views in their programming. That meant you had to relay both sides of an issue. Today, mainstream media no longer has to be fair. They can spread all the propaganda and only say what the government demands. Hence, nothing that is real is fit for the news if it goes against corporate management or government demands. We are plagued with Terrorism as the excuse to eliminate all privacy, as the excuse to raise taxes. This paranoia is not even as honest as McCarthyism, which at least was about Communists. Today, we are subjected to Obamaism, but nobody will defend the people against exaggerated terrorism.
I believe in stopping the Neocon Propaganda & Control of the Fake Free Press,
Veterans have been forced to stand in lines outside food banks as the government shutdown continues into week three. With no resolution in sight, the government shutdown could potentially become one of the longest in US history. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned the shutdown is beginning to negatively affect the US economy. It has become the media’s “dirt secret” as the mainstream media keeps the public in the dark. House Speaker Mike Johnson believes the Democrats are holding out until the next “No Kings” protest.
The Democrats are prioritizing their hatred of Trump over the American people. Political pettiness caused thousands of federal workers to be furloughed and pushed the economy into a data blackout. “This is getting serious. It’s starting to affect the real economy. It’s starting to affect people’s lives,” Bessent told reporters, adding that the legacy mainstream has been “downplaying” the severity of the closure.
“If, in fact, they are waiting for this ‘No Kings’ protest, you know, ‘no kings’ means no paychecks. No paychecks and no government,” the treasury secretary added. “We are having to shuffle things around. We are having to furlough workers here in D.C. and around the country. We had friends visiting from my hometown. They had to run to the zoo in D.C. on Saturday because now it’s closed down. Nothing is open.” Mind you, the Democrats are requesting a pay raise as one of the stipulations for a temporary resolution. Congress is still receiving their pay while the people they use as pawns suffer. Clearly, a provision to the law is crucial—Congress should not receive a penny if they refuse to work—but no one would vote for such a measure.
The “No Kings” protest is slated for October 18. Speaker Mike Johnson called the event a “hate rally” championed y “the pro-Hamas wing” and antifa. “They’re all coming out,” Johnson said Friday in an interview on Fox News. “Some of the House Democrats are selling t-shirts for the event. And it’s being told to us that they won’t be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can’t face their rabid base.”
Trump did not inherit America by birthright or conquest. The majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump and the ideals he promised to uphold. These demonstrations are a direct defiance of democracy, intended to stir the pot and cause civil unrest.

We Won’t Back Down
Back in 2022, I warned that the British pound would fall below par, and that is not over. “We will not see a straight decline into 2026/2027, but that is where this is headed. The ideal support will be at the 72 to 76 level by then…” The extreme support by 2027 lies at 51 cents. That would tend to imply they lose against Russia. Breaking the 1985 low of $1.03 will then point to the 89 area.” After that, it is a meltdown. This is the hallmark of LABOUR, which is a direct assumption from Karl Marx that we are just economic slaves, and when they created the EU, they made sure that there was no right of the people to choose a new government. They get to vote only for a Parliament that is for show and lacks any power to make a single law.
I warned at last year’s WEC in Orlando that the computer was projected to be the demise of the Democratic Party. They are deeply divided and refuse to even listen to any criticism of what they stand for, from transgender to open borders, which was NOT what the American people wanted. At least we retain the right to change leadership, unlike Parliamentary systems and the European Union.
This song, We Won’t Back Down, brings tears to the eyes of patriots. The first international panic os 1683 was the attempt of the Ottoman Empire to conquer Europe. The turmoil of the Balkans is drenched in blood. The Ottoman Empire did engage in forced religious conversions in the Balkans, but this was not a consistent, empire-wide policy throughout its entire history. The nature and scale of conversion varied dramatically by time, place, and circumstance.
Contrary to popular myth, the Ottoman Empire’s primary approach to non-Muslims was not forced conversion economically. The state was organized under the Millet System, which granted religious communities (Orthodox Christians, Armenian Christians, Jews) a significant degree of autonomy that came with a price. They could practice their religion, run their own courts for personal law, and collect their own taxes. However, Non-Muslims paid a special tax called the jizya. Mass conversion would have drastically reduced state revenue. They conquered and converted the non-Muslims into economic slaves.
The significant Muslim presence in the UK began as a result of migration waves that happened decades ago, primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s. The primary sources were from South Asia (Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India), where post-war labour migration filled jobs in Britain’s industrial centres like Birmingham, Bradford, and Manchester.
The 340-year cycle from the 1683 attempt to conquer Europe by the Ottoman Empire was 2023. The year 2023 was notable for irregular migration, specifically small boat crossings across the English Channel. However, the data does not support the idea that this was a “major influx of Muslims.” The top nationalities arriving by small boats in 2023 were Albanians, Afghans, Iranians, Iraqis, and Syrians. The issue is not that they are Muslim. India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh were countries that had been Westernized by British occupation and the rule of law. So those migrants assimilated culturally. These new groups are clashing, demanding to bring their culture to Britain, even changing the rule of law.
Starmer has indeed destroyed everything that Britain once stood for. One thing that Margaret Thatcher said to me during one of our conversations was that Britain’s most extraordinary gift to Asia was the rule of law. She was correct insofar as, without the rule of law, investment becomes impossible. These migrants are coming from Albania, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, none of which attract serious international investment because they lack the respect for the rule of law, and thus making decisions on trillion dollar portfolios, that were countries that I could NEVER consider because there was no legal system even to secure the title to property.
I am sorry. I have shed a tear for Britain. I was asked when Starmer was coming to power if I would come over and meet. I declined. Only a fool tries to convince another fool he is a fool. There is no evidence that I could ever present to Starmer that would convince him he is destroying Britain. He would never listen and probably throw me in prison for free speech, which he has extinguished and indeed now rules Britain out of fear, like any tyrant. If neither the police nor the military rise up, then Britain will never again be able even to use the word “Great.”
Æthelstan (ruled 924-939), who is widely regarded as the first true King of England. He wasn’t “united athered,” but he united the various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms under one rule. Starmer appeared on the 128th interval of the 8.6-year cycle, from 924AD.
The United Kingdom began with the merger of England and Scotland in 1707.33 (May 1st, 1707). The 309.6-year cycle from that union marked BRIXT 2016.93. That alone confirmed that BRIXT would win.
At the end of 2016, the government, under new Prime Minister Theresa May, argued it had the “prerogative power” to trigger Article 50 (the formal mechanism for leaving the EU) without a vote in Parliament. A legal challenge was mounted, arguing that only Parliament, as the sovereign body, could take away rights that it had initially been granted (EU-derived rights). The High Court Ruling (November 3, 2016) held that Parliament must vote to authorize the triggering of Article 50. This was a major blow to Theresa May’s plan for a swift and executive-led Brexit. The Supreme Court Appeal (January 24, 2017) saw the government appeal of the decision, but the Supreme Court upheld the ruling by a majority of 8 to 3. The court confirmed that an Act of Parliament was required before Article 50 could be invoked.
In a major landmark speech on January 17th, 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May set out her government’s 12-point plan for Brexit, clarifying for the first time the UK’s core objectives. Following the Supreme Court ruling, the government introduced the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill—a short bill to give Theresa May the power to trigger Article 50. The bill passed its first vote in the House of Commons on February 1, 2017, by a majority of 384. It then faced a more formidable challenge in the House of Lords, which attempted to add amendments (e.g., to guarantee the rights of EU citizens). However, the government overturned these amendments, and the bill received Royal Assent on March 16th, 2017.
While 2032 is a major global turning point, 309.6 years before was 1722, and the uncovering of the Atterbury Plot (also known as the Layer Plot). That was the Jacobite conspiracy to overthrow the new Hanoverian King George I and restore the Stuart line in the person of James Francis Edward Stuart III (the “Old Pretender”).

Question: Why is the $20 billion to Argentina not mentioned in the government budget debacle? Is this not more reckless spending?
Answer: It’s unclear how much of the $20 billion will actually be used, or whether all of it will go to the swap line vs. debt purchases vs. standby credit. There is a risk that Argentina may default, restructure, or be unable to repay. That raises questions about how the U.S. would recover or manage losses.
The U.S. is coordinating with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which already has a large exposure to Argentina. Yet, Argentina is currently the IMF’s largest debtor with an alarming $41.8 billion owed.
The $20 billion swap line to Argentina’s central bank is a currency swap—it is not a bailout, although there are political motives. China could be the one stepping in and bailing out Argentina, ruining America’s alliance, and propping up the yuan over the dollar, and Washington does not want to see Argentina look toward non-dollar solutions. Beijing has strategically used debt diplomacy in recent years to expand its influence. In fact, China provides more in loans to emerging economies than the World Bank.
Argentina and China agreed to a bilateral currency swap worth RMB 70 billion (approx. $11 billion) in 2009. By 2022-2024, Argentina expanded access to the swap facility, reaching $18 billion in total, with $5 billion actively activated and renewed for direct use in 2025-2026. Argentina was deeply dependent on those swap lines and used Chinese debt to repay IMF debt, restructuring along the way, and falling deeper into the hole. Up to 95% of Argentina’s liquid reserves depended on Chinese swap funds during certain periods of time. The nation repaid China $7.5 billion through an IMF loan in 2023, but still owes around $18 to $24 billion. The U.S. addition of $20 billion is merely a way for Argentina to pivot from China to U.S. reliance.
In addition, the U.S. is indicating willingness to purchase U.S. dollar-denominated Argentine bonds (i.e. sovereign debt) in either the primary or secondary markets. The support would also include “standby credit” via the U.S. Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) as needed. The ESF largely operates outside of congressional oversight.
The US is now simply standing in line beside the IMF when the time comes to restructure Argentina. The default risk remains valid. Confidence in the dollar must remain high. This is not charity but an option for the US to maintain dollar dominance in Latin America.

Viktor Orban is the Hungarian Donald Trump, and as such, has faced an onslaught of attacks from every angle of the political establishment. Former President Barack Obama issued a warning to Europe that leaders like Orban are attempting to implement “illiberal democracy,” and therefore, the people should vote as the establishment sees fit.
“I’ve become increasingly concerned about the rising wave of authoritarianism sweeping the globe,” Obama claimed in a video message. “We’re seeing politicians target civil society, undermine freedom of the press, weaponize the justice system. And no one is being spared. Even countries that thought they were immune from wholesale assaults on democracy now understand that we’re all part of one struggle.”
While Obama did not mention Orban by name, the implication were clear and the two men had ongoing disputes during Obama’s time in Washington. Orban’s political director Balazs Orban responded by stating that Obama is “not concerned about democracy—he is concerned about preserving the dominance of the liberal elite.” Orban himself accused Obama of attempting to “change the fundamental law of Hungary and delete Christian and national values from it.” The Hungarian leader said it was simply “bizarre” that “the leading power of the free world wanted to force [Hungary] to change our constitution according to a globalist liberal concept.”
“A big challenge is that the governments themselves, whether center-right or center-left, were losing touch with people and weren’t delivering on some of the basic hopes and dreams of people, so you get frustrated with government, period,” the former president said. “That obviously then opens the door for right-wing populism, anti-immigrant sentiment, anger, grievances.”
Yet another example of the political elite attempting to skew the narrative. They think the people are the problem, not the government. Obama is deflecting by stating that the government failed to deliver on the “basic hopes and dreams of people” when the promises have been beyond the scope of fiscal reality. Politicians overpromised everything from pensions, social programs, health care, perpetual wars, free education, green energy and financed it all with debt. Then the government comes after the people to pay for that debt while continuing to increase their promises.
The cost of living crisis is highlighting government’s extreme fiscal irresponsibility. If there were bountiful jobs, housing, etc. then the people would be less angered over spending on other areas like migrants. Politicians sold out their nations to consolidated powers like the EU, their plans suffered, and now the people are voting for politicians with nationalist ideals who are willing to put their nation first.
Sorry, Obama, but this is not 2008, when you could smooth over the situation with speeches about hope and new beginnings.

QUESTION: Do you believe that the Kremlin was preparing for a large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade, as they are claiming in Germany?
LVB
ANSWER: There is no question that Putin must face reality. As long as the NEOCONS are in charge of the West in both the USA and NATO, there is no chance of actually living together. Like Hamas fighters who, since birth, were raised to hate Jews, our NEOCONS have been so indoctrinated regarding Russians. They will NEVER accept a peaceful coexistence. We had one with our economies interlinked, and then they used Ukraine as their sacrificial lamb to weaken their archenemy. This has NEVER been about Ukraine. The West does not care if a single Ukrainian is still standing. They are expendable pawns on the geopolitical chessboard.
While the West has long sought the conquest of Russia for its wealth, Britain took two major historical military actions against Russian territory, both aimed at weakening the Russian state rather than conquering it. These were part of larger coalition efforts. The first was the Crimean War (1853-1856), which is the most famous example of British military conflict with Russia. Then Britain joined France, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia vs. the Russian Empire. The primary goal was to check Russian expansionist ambitions, particularly towards the weakening Ottoman Empire. Britain was determined to prevent Russia from gaining control of the strategic Dardanelles and Bosporus straits, which would threaten British trade routes and naval dominance in the Mediterranean. The coalition was victorious. The Treaty of Paris forced Russia to demilitarize the Black Sea and cede some territory. It was a major setback for Russian influence in the region.
The Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War (1918-1925) was the next attempt. This unfolded during the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution. This was a coalition of powers including Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and others. They publicly claimed that the goal was to secure Allied military supplies stockpiled in Russian ports (such as Arkhangelsk and Murmansk) to prevent them from falling into German hands during World War I. However, the mission quickly expanded into an all-out major war to really overthrow the new Bolshevik (Communist) government by supporting the anti-Bolshevik “White” forces in the Russian Civil War.
This intervention was a complete failure. The White forces were defeated, and the Bolsheviks consolidated power. The foreign troops were withdrawn by 1920 (with the Japanese staying in the Far East until 1925). The intervention created a deep and lasting sense of mistrust and siege mentality in the new Soviet Union, which they would exploit for decades about the motivations of the Capitalist powers.
Ironically, it was Germany that helped create the USSR by smuggling Lenin back from exile to Russia by train, to lead the revolution under the theory that Communists would keep Russia out of World War I. The goal was outright regime change, not conquest. The Allies aimed to topple the Bolsheviks and help install a government that would, they hoped, be friendly to their interests and perhaps re-enter the war against Germany. There was no plan to make Russia a British colony at that time. These are in addition to the attempts to conquer Russia by Hitler and Napoleon.
These are the words of Lindsey Grachm. He hates Russians like Iran and Hamas hates Jews. There is no talking with a NEOCON. You are the fool if you think you can ever convince them to live in peace. So if I were Putin, history shows that the West has at least 5 times interfered with Russia. They have never attempted to conquer Europe. I would be preparing for the 6th attempt, for the NEOCONS have 100% control of Europe and NATO. If Putin is humiliated, then they are praying for a coup and regime change in Russia to get to an all-out war ASAP. This is not about Ukraine.
This is about the conquest of Russia. They are doing their best to send Moldavia and Romania to their sacrificial altar of NEOCON vengeance as they did with Ukraine. The only hope for peace is for the West to wake the hell up and flush these NEOCONS and their endless wars down the drain as they hide in their bunkers.
They loved Biden. He was their biggest patsy, involved in decades of maneuvering to usurp the full military power of the United States. They destroyed the world economy by removing Russia from SWIFT, which set in motion BRICS. They care nothing for the people they send to die for their vengeance, but they also do not care about the nation, our future, or the average American. They must win at all costs.
Even the COMPUTER is targeting 2032, correlating with the Economic Confidence Model, which is NOT in this Array. The Arrays are entirely generated by the computer, which discovers cycles in any time series and backtests them to verify which are best. Keep in mind that we have two models of war: international and domestic. Both are targeting the same period for the first time since the 18th century. That produced the American and French Revolutions of the 18th century. That was followed by the 1848 Revolutions that swept Europe, also inspired by the Hard Times of the 1840s.
We are witnessing rising civil war potential based on this insane attempt to allow migrants in, who they believed would vote for gifts to retain their power. But the discontent is rising. Their lies and manipulations are fueling civil discontent in both Europe and America. Starmer is ruling Britain like Hitler by creating fear. He has imposed the greatest tyranny of all – criminalized free speech. Imprisoning anyone who dares to criticize his organized destruction of what was once known as Great Britain.

The Dutch government is aiding the US in its plight to isolate China from the free markets, and in particular, to prevent China from digging its heels into the semiconductor manufacturing market. Taiwan controls chip manufacturing, but China believes it controls Taiwan. The US and the European Union are acting together to maintain control through economic warfare. In the latest act, the Dutch government has taken full control over Nexperia, a Chinese-owned semiconductor maker.
Nexperia was derived from NXP Semiconductors, a Dutch chip maker, and was later purchased by a Chinese investment firm in 2017 for $2.75 billion. Nexperia then began selling shares to the Chinese technology group Wingtech, which became the majority owner by 2019.
Dutch companies currently manufacture 9% of the global chip supply, which is quite significant considering Taiwan’s heavy dominance. The Netherlands is Europe’s anchor for chip manufacturing. Dutch technology is utilized in 85% of all chips produced worldwide with the sector raking in €30 billion annually.
For the first time, The Hague invoked the “Goods Availability Act” to seize control of a private company — not because it violated any specific export restriction, but because it was owned by the wrong country. The Dutch law implemented in 1952 permits the government to seize essential goods during national crises or emergencies. “The decision aims to prevent a situation in which the goods produced by Nexperia (finished and semi-finished products) would become unavailable in an emergency,” the Dutch Ministry stated. “Nexperia produces, among other things, chips used in the European automotive industry and in consumer electronics.”
Nexperia has had international pushback over the years for its ties to the CCP. The belief is that China purchases these niche companies through Chinese-backed corporations in an effort to steal sensitive technology. The UK prohibited the company from buying Newport Wafer Fab in November 2022. The US accused the company of attempting to steal semiconductor manufacturing technology and placed Nexperia on a watch list in 2024.
Dutch economy minister Vincent Karremans now controls Nexperia’s board. Under Dutch law, he now has the authority to block or reverse any decision made at the corporate level. Naturally, firms outside of the European Union see this move as a threat. Wingtech was notified that it may not make adjustments to its intellectual property, assets, business operations or staff for the next year. Nerperia executives filed against the decision with the Amsterdam court of appeals, but the court ordered Chinese chief executive Zhang Xuezheng to step down. The following week, the court installed its own director to manage the company. Additionally, the court ordered all Nexperia shares, besides one, to be placed under custodial management.
“This move gravely contravenes the European Union’s long-standing advocacy for market-economy principles, fair competition, and international trade norms,” Wingtech Corporation commented. “We express our strong protest against such discriminatory treatment targeting Chinese-funded enterprises.”
US and EU companies based in China have a valid reason to be concerned right now. The Dutch government’s seizure of Nexperia is yet another confirmation that politics are ignoring the rule of law and property rights under the banner of “national security.” What we are witnessing is the same pattern I have warned about for years, where governments turn inward as the world economy fractures. This is how World War III unfolds — not through sudden declarations, but through economic warfare first.

Taiwanese intelligence launched a psychological warfare attack to spread separatist activities, according to the Chinese Communist Party who has placed a cash bounty on the heads of 18 Taiwanese military officials.
Taiwan’s Defence Ministry called the accusations “despotic and pig-headed thinking.” Chinese authorities believe Taiwan’s “psychological warfare unit” deliberately created online games depicting Taiwan fighting for independence against China as part of its disinformation campaign. Names, identification numbers, and photographs of the 18 wanted individuals have been spread across Taiwan, with China promising a $1,400 USD bounty for any information leading to an arrest.
The manhunt comes one day after Taiwan’s President William Lai Ching-te announced an escalation in the “T-Dome” defense air system project. The T-Dome multi-layered air defense system is modeled after Israel’s Iron Dome and intended to protect Taiwan against Chinese aggression. The “sensor to shooter” mechanism will intercept all aerial threats including missiles and drones. Taiwan is relying on American manufactured Patriot Misses as one major component of this defense system.
“The increase in defence spending has a purpose; it is a clear necessity to counter enemy threats and a driving force for developing our defence industries,” he said in his National Day address, to applause from the crowd. “We will accelerate our building of the T-Dome, establish a rigorous air defence system in Taiwan with multi-layered defence, high-level detection, and effective interception, and weave a safety net for Taiwan to protect the lives and property of citizens.”
The Taiwanese government plans to spend tens of billions of dollars to produce the T-Dome over the next several years, but China would NEVER allow that to happen. State-controlled Chinese media mocked the project as “an expensive mirage” that will financially cripple the island.
Lai plans to increase defense spending to 3% of GDP immediately, increasing the figure by 5% by 2030. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun condemned Lai, who is not recognized as a president with any power, as a “war-maker” who is creating danger. Beijing firmly declares Taiwan as “an inseparable part of China’s territory.” China has permitted Taiwan to self-govern under its careful eye, but now, the time to fully re-integrate Taiwan may come sooner than expected.
