The Doomsday Jet


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 28, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Neocons have accomplished their objective. They dethroned Trump and installed the senile president who will go down in history as the President that began World War III. His name will be remembered in infamy because it is always the president to history remembers – not the dark figures behind the curtain prodding him on every action. They know the risks that have now unleashed upon the world. Biden’s trip to Warsaw to convince the Polish people to surrender their lives for the dreams of the American Neocons was interestingly marked by Biden flying on the “Doomsday” jet. At the same time, Biden tells the American people there is no risk of nuclear war. Their actions say differently.

There are four Doomsday Jets in the US’s fleet. One is with the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin as part of his boss’s delegation meeting with NATO and European leaders. These jets are supposed to be “highly survivable” in the case of a nuclear attack and are to be “mobile Pentagons” from which they can direct nuclear war. All the American nuclear weapons can be controlled from anywhere in the world from one of these Doomsday Jets and that even includes in the middle of nuclear attack.

Obviously, they know that pushing Russia to the brink may lead to nuclear war. They stupidly think removing Putin will somehow cause Russia to collapse into the arms of the West. NEVER do these people ever think beyond their nose. They removed Saddam and created ISIS. They armed the Taliban to defend against Russia and then they turned it against the Great Satin. It was the US feeding arms to the Rebels to take down Libya and Syria which backfired and that involved Hillary.

The people surrounding Putin are FAR MORE aggressive than Putin – that is the truth! Putin has his own Neocons and they are pushing for a nuclear attack. They may just nuke Kyiv and hope the West backs down. Or they go all-in and use supersonic missiles and take out NYC, Washington, Denver, Chicago, and LA simultaneously. If they did that without warning, they could even prevent a Doomsday Jet from taking off.

They would not be sending a Doomsday Jet to Europe if they did not know that Nuclear War is now possible. Perhaps the REGIME CHANGE is seriously needed right here at home dragging these Neocons out by their necks to face the public in the open.

Hunter Biden’s Laptop – Funding Bioweapons in Ukraine


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Mar 28, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Hunter Biden’s Laptop is the gift that keeps giving. It has now surfaced that Hunter did help finance a US military ‘bioweapons’ research program in Ukraine. This is confirming that Putin’s allegations are in fact not totally propaganda. This is being confirmed even by the London Daily Mail. Little by little the truth ALWAYS surfaces. We also have info that is NOT yet verified by some of the same actors who pulled false flags with chemical weapons in Syria that may be present in Ukraine.

There have been concerns that Biden has been pushing the war agenda in hopes of preventing a washout for the Democrats in November. Even AOC says that Biden has lost the support of Progressives. Anyone who thinks that the Government, either party, really cares about them is delusional. I have worked with governments around the world and they are all the same – they are ONLY concerned about the next election and their own self-interests. I have worked behind the scenes and in front even testifying before the House Ways & Means Committee. Politicians LOVE crisis, for that is when they exercise power. Nobody will vote for them on claims like they saved your job, you just didn’t know you were going to lose it. I was naive in the ’80s thinking I could make a difference, and you quickly learn, it is not a swamp – it is a cesspool the size of the ocean.

I reported yesterday that there was a battle raging between the Pentagon and the State Department and the Pentagon won. The Neocons have been putting out total BS that Putin was losing and on the ropes in hope that they could muster support for a NATO invasion. Blinken had his wrists smacked with a club and read the riot act – what the hell do you think you are doing calling Putin a Butcher and insisted on regime change?

The Pentagon warned that this is NOT a battle that will be easily won and there will be no NY left to have a ticker-tape parade. Do not expect the overthrow of Putin claiming he is just an autocrat when in fact the very same structure stands in Europe. The head of Europe also never stands for election and is appointed by the party. What is the difference between that and Russia or China? On top of that, Biden has declared world war III in the financial markets WITHOUT consulting the Pentagon or Congress. That is outrageous for under the Constitution only Congress can issue a declaration of war.

There is so much hypocrisy and lies coming from the State Departments they are now forced to back-track. Be careful before you wrap yourself in the flag and die for Neocons who have lied about every war – not just the weapons of mass destruction. Nearly 60,000 kids lost their lives fighting another created war by the Neocons in Vietnam.

Is Putin Really Losing?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 27, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You do not think that Putin is losing?

PH

ANSWER: Forgive me if I have studied ancient history too much in detail. This reminds me of when Socrates asked the then most illustrious military commander: Would you ever retreat? He replies no, that was cowardly. Then he gave as an example a pretend defeat causing the case of the opponent which only led to a trap. But it also reminds me of Alexander the Great.

Things are not always what they appear and RELIABLE sources confirm that the claims that Putin is on the ropes are coming from the State Department and the Pentagon disagrees for this appears to be propaganda to try to support a NATO invasion.

The most celebrated battle during the Punic War was when Hannibal defeated a Roman army twice his size. It was the Battle of Cannae where 16 Roman legions of about 100,00o confronted Hannibal of about 50,000. Hannibal used a very clever move to understand how the Romans fought wars. When the Roman legions began their attack, Hannibal allowed the center of his initially crescent-shaped formation to yield pretending the Romans would easily win. The advancing Romans were then pinched by the Carthaginian troops stationed on the flanks. The Romans were slowed and then finally stalled unable to break through Hannibal’s formation. The vastly larger Roman army was encircled and the carnage began. According to the historian Polybius, of the 80,000 Roman soldiers, the Carthaginians killed 70,000.

The word “carnage” refers to the slaughtering of a great number of people, the root of it in Medieval Latin carnaticum “flesh,” from Latin carnaticum “slaughter of animals,” from carnem (nominative caro) “flesh,” originally “a piece of flesh.” However, there are some who believe that this originated after the Battle of Cannae on August 2nd, 216BC.

Putin has said that he regards Ukrainians as the same stock as Russians, distinct from other Eastern Europeans. He initially asked the Ukrainian army to stay in their barracks and not to fight. Alexander the Great would conquer a region, but not destroy everything as Americans do. Instead, he sought to assimilate the armies of conquered states those building his forces with every victory. Putin may not be trying to wipe out the Ukrainian army, but just maybe holding out hope that they will see that they have been merely a tool of the West and then join forces with Russia after executing Zelensky as was the case with Mussolini by Italian opponents.

The Ukrainians have adopted a tactic of trying to assassinate all the Russian generals. Some suspect that these are American snipers. Nevertheless, this is a very novel tactic but this may not be that successful for it assumes a general in the field is calling all the shots rather than following orders from central command. Ukrainian snipers just killed the deputy commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Earlier, the Ukrainians had killed five generals and a number of other high-ranking officers by these types of tactics. They are not defeating them in battle but trying to create that image.

The Pentagon is objective to the propaganda coming from the State Department. My concern has been that if Ukrainian troops are pushed toward a loss, someone in Zelensky’s camp will claim a chemical attack by the Russians to then give the excuse for NATO to join. That is when nuclear tactical weapons may begin to fly. The logical response will then be to just nuke Kyiv before it is embraced by NATO. This is why I believe the Pentagon arguing against the Neocons who now control the State Department.

Zelensky – Who is Pulling his Strings?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Mar 27, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: Thank you for trying to tell the truth about Zelensky. He is not defending his own people. We elected him because he promised the opposite. Why does the West only listen to this traitor?

Anonymous

COMMENT #2: “Zelensky sacrificing his own people” ? Seems to me that psychotic dictator in the Kremlin has got that all sewn up. Suggest you change your medication

FP

REPLY: This is clearly a war against Russia and it has been the dream of the Neocons. It is hard to imagine why Zelensky is putting his entire country at risk over simply honoring the Minsk Agreement and lettering the Donbas to vote on their separation.  Zelensky has been part of the corruption – all Ukrainians thought they were getting rid of no doubt. Zelensky has been turned into a global celebrity and he loves it while cashing in. These people desperately trying to create World War III, wanted to nominate Zelensky for the Nobel Peace Prize for refusing to negotiate in good faith? Meanwhile, Biden will NOT tell Americans why Ukraine matters. All he does is say Putin is evil. How does that affect Americans at home?

There is no question that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is and has been working to create and arm an insurgency in Ukraine because it is on the very border with Russia and has been the gateway for all historical invasions of Russia because of the flat terrain – i.e. Hitler and Napoleon.

The CIA is following the same “models” of past CIA-backed insurgencies in Afghanistan and Syria in Ukraine. Given that those countries have been ravaged by war as a direct result of those insurgencies, this has only fueled the civil war in Ukraine since 2014. Nobody looks at the risks of arming the Nazis of Ukraine just as we did with the Taliban against Russia that backfired. The opposition to Zelensky in Ukraine is ignored, blacked out, and canceled for Western interests. They have said:

“We, leaders of Ukrainian political parties and public organizations which have joined together in the
National Resistance Front against the Eurocolonization of Ukraine, demand that the leaders of the EU and
NATO, as well as officials from Poland, Germany, Lithuania, and others, stop their interference in the internal
affairs of Ukraine and not incite civil war in Ukraine alongside Ukrainian neo-Nazis.”

Zelensky Opposition

The rhetoric is outrageous. Biden has called Putin a war criminal and now a Butcher. This is a sign that the US wants war and has no intention of seeking peace. No head of state attacks the other in this manner for such words cannot be taken back. They reflect intention and Putin fully understands. Biden’s Tweet has confirmed this is not about Ukraine – this is simply the Neocon’s desire for war against China and Russia.

They are using the very same tactics against Donald Trump to prevent him from running against in 2024 calling him also a criminal. They are keeping the headlines full of Ukraine while they are secreting imposing a complete authoritarian regime here in the West with their digital IDs to control our movement.

What is taking place is an outrageous campaign against the Russian people themselves – not just Putin or the Russian state. It is reminiscent of how the Japanese were treated in the United States during World War II – imprisoned based on their ethnicity. Where is the Russian Lives Matter? Not only has the Czech Republic seized all assets of ethnic Russians living in the Czech Republic, now Switzerland is joining in seizing any Russian accounts.

The hatred of Russians as a people has even altered history removing  Yuri Gagarin from being the first man in space because he is Russian. He died in 1968. What does he have to do with Ukraine? This is NOT against just Putin. This is telling all of Russia you are scum and the West will annihilate you. Perhaps humanity just always needs some group to hate and Biden is leading the charge.

You are NOT going to watch this war unfold on CNN and cheer every Russian killed. Perhaps you should look at the simulation of war with Russia. And that is not taking into account the new first-strike weapons that are supersonic. Nor does this include a simultaneous attack between China and Russia against the West. So while you all cheer Zelensky, and take the time to write hate mail to me, how about keeping an open mind, realize they are twisting your own views to get us into a war that you will say oh shit at the end of your time.

How about writing to Congress instead of blindly supporting Zelensky. They are even putting Zelensky on the Oscars to sell World War III. Zelensky could agree to the terms of Putin which are very reasonable and limited. But no – he is told to push the world into war all for the Neocons pulling his strings. Don’t worry. You will get your wish – World War III is coming and 2023 will not look very pretty. While you cheer the death of every Russian, this is not God and country your hate has been cultivated for, it is for the Neocons who won’t be happy until they destroy their enemy. This is how they fire you up to die for their cause. As Barry McGuire said in  his song Eve of Destruction you can hate your neighbor but don’t forget to say grace.

Biden tells everyone not to fear nuclear war, while to is using the Doomsday 747 just in case. I’m sorry, I hate to have to write this stuff. But unless the people write to their representative governments, consider migrating south.

Zelenskyy Worried About Western Financial Support After Video Surfaces Showing Ukraine Military Torturing Russian POW’s


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 27, 2022

Two weeks ago, the United States government, State Dept., CIA and their allies in Big Tech, made a public announcement {Go Deep} that stated violence against Russians would be officially sanctioned by Facebook, Instagram and Google.  In essence, Big Tech said it was now okay for Russians to be targeted on social media.  Today, video footage is leaked showing graphic torture of Russian POW’s by Ukraine military units.

BACKGROUND – The purpose of the shift in Big Tech ‘terms and conditions‘ for the promotion of violence, was seemingly to enhance the western propaganda campaign.  Elevating Ukraine’s victim status in the minds of the ordinary citizens, while supporting the negative promotional campaign against Russia and Vladimir Putin was part of the design.  The transparent motive of the shift was obvious to those who follow the activity of U.S. intelligence and State Dept.

Deep weeds political followers will remember the first collaboration between Facebook and DoS/CIA using this approach took place in Egypt and Libya at the beginning of the 2010 U.S. Obama-inspired Islamist Spring.  A more refined 2022 version was just recently deployed against Russia.  The tech control agents needed to parse the nuance carefully to allow targeted and approved violence to be narrowly focused.

Soon after Big Tech made their announcement {via Reuters}, the DoS/CIA and NATO announced they would be providing western military hardware to the Azov battalion in Ukraine – essentially the Ukrainian military’s openly Nazi division.  Images soon surfaced showing U.S. military “advisors” training Ukrainian ultranationalist Nazi units (Azov regiment) how to use the U.S. provided FGM-148 javelin missiles.

WARNING ~ Graphic Discussion Below

A few days after those reports surfaced, Russia bombed the Western Ukraine NATO training facilities near Lviv housing over 1,000 foreign mercenaries: contract soldiers from western countries {LINK}.

However, as the narrative from the media propaganda machine continues to frame the Ukraine military as ‘freedom fighters’, they are now faced with videos surfacing showing Ukraine military regulars torturing Russian prisoners of war (POW’s).

This is problematic for both NATO and Ukraine, as they must protect the image of the Ukraine military in order to maintain public support and funding.

The videos of the torture are graphic and very disturbing to watch {Severely Restricted Video 1 Example Here}, and I would not recommend watching them if you are not comfortable seeing men get shot, brutalized and beaten.  {Severely Restricted Video 2 Example Here} They are graphic, bloody and violent.  However, the torture itself, while censored for political need, aligns with the official NATO and Big Tech position that advocacy for violence against Russians is sanctioned.

The first video shows Russian soldiers with canvas bags placed on their heads and then beaten in the face with rifle butts.  The prisoners are shot in the kneecaps and genitals, and they are left on the ground to bleed to death.  Several vans then arrive at the Ukraine military compound in Kharkiv (roughly 20 miles from the Russian border), and as each POW is removed from the van they are shot in the knees.

A second video shows Russian POW’s lying face down in a paved courtyard, or compound, and then being shot in the knees from the rear.

Apparently, one of the videos contains Russian soldiers who were part of a reconnaissance mission in the region and were captured.  The Ukraine military gleefully torture the captives and record their endeavors for posterity.  It was the Ukraine military units bragging about the torture that exposed their brutal behavior.  All of the scenes are gruesome in the extreme.

The State Department has a problem with these video’s surfacing.  Who does the State Dept turn to?….. CNN

(VIA CNN) – Video has surfaced showing what appear to be Ukrainian soldiers shooting men who are apparently Russian prisoners in the knees during an operation in the Kharkiv region.

On the almost six-minute-long video, the Ukrainian soldiers are heard saying they have captured a Russian reconnaissance group operating from Olkhovka, a settlement in Kharkiv roughly 20 miles from the Russian border.

Asked about the video, a senior presidential advisor, Oleksiy Arestovych, said in an interview posted on YouTube Sunday: “The government is taking this very seriously, and there will be an immediate investigation. We are a European army, and we do not mock our prisoners. If this turns out to be real, this is absolutely unacceptable behavior.”

In a separate briefing, Arestovych said, “We treat prisoners in accordance with the Geneva Convention, whatever your personal emotional motives.”

CNN has reached out to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry for comment. In response, the ministry sent CNN a statement from the Armed Forces chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. The statement did not refer directly to the incident, but said, “In order to discredit Ukraine’s defense forces, the enemy films and distributes staged videos showing inhuman treatment by alleged ‘Ukrainian soldiers’ of ‘Russian prisoners.’

“I emphasize that servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other legitimate military formations strictly adhere to the norms of international humanitarian law,” Zaluzhnyi said. “I urge you to take into account the realities of informational and psychological warfare and trust only official sources.”

It’s unclear which Ukrainian unit may have been involved. The soldiers speak in a mixture of Ukrainian and Russian with Ukrainian accents.

The video comes as Ukrainian forces make gains east and south of Kharkiv. CNN geolocated and verified a long video uploaded on a Telegram Saturday showing a successful assault by Ukrainian troops of the Azov Battalion, in which they took a number of Russian prisoners in a rapid assault on Olkhovka, also known as Vilkhivka.

Some of the prisoners were stripped and blindfolded.

That video was posted by Konstantin Nemichev, a Kharkiv regional official who took part in the attack on Olkhovka. He told CNN he was not associated with the footage that emerged showing Ukrainian troops kneecapping Russian prisoners. (read more)

Keep in mind, U.S. taxpayers are giving these Ukraine military terrorists more than $15 billion in direct financing to conduct their torture activities.

Sunday Talks, US NATO Representative Julianne Smith Outlines Ongoing Effort to Supply Ukraine With Deadly Weapons – Notice What Is Missing


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 27, 2022 

March 27, 2022 | Sundance | 210 Comments

In this segment, CNN’s Dana Bash questions US Permanent Representative to NATO, Julianne Smith, about the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine.  However, notice throughout the conversation about who is doing what, there is a key point missing.  Where is the national debate to justify authorization?

While the Biden administration and western partner nations in NATO continue to pour money and military equipment into Ukraine, obviously, preparing for a long-term insurgency effort and proxy war against Russia, notice how there is never a single mention about the citizens in the U.S. being consulted for authorization of the government action.

There has not been a single political or U.S. national leader who has demanded a representative debate on the issue of providing increasingly escalating weapons into a nation in order to trigger a proxy war against Russia.  The same lack of public/representative debate also applies to the U.K and NATO countries.  All of the decisions being made, leading to the potential for World War 3, are being unilaterally made by detached politicians without regard for the opinion of the people.

‘We The People’ are irrelevant.

Think about it.

Sunday Talks, Senate Intel Chairman Mark Warner Discusses U.S. Effort to Control Cryptocurrency and Russia Sanction Evasion


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 27, 2022 

Senator Mark Warner is a notoriously corrupt Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, one of the central pillars of the Fourth Branch of Government.  In this interview, Warner discusses the “grey area” of cyber-attacks and how any downstream consequence that imperils U.S. lives can be used as a justification by NATO to engage the Article-5 trigger and consider any Russian intrusion an attack against NATO allies.

Example: Russia shuts down the Ukraine power grid that is also connected to Poland. As a direct consequence, a traffic signal or infrastructure malfunction occurs, and a U.S. military convoy has an accident.  A U.S. servicemember is injured or killed.  [Or any other non-kinetic action that creates a kinetic consequence.] Does NATO then have justification to attack Russia?  Warner is previewing a scenario the Fourth Branch hopes to exploit.

Additionally, within the interview [05:44 prompted], Senator Warner outlines the western approach toward Russia using cryptocurrency as a method to evade sanctions.  Notably, Warner outlines that U.S. intelligence/U.S. Govt has control over U.S-based crypto exchanges and they are working with ‘partners’ in the financial sector to mitigate the use of crypto exchanges by non-U.S. actors.  WATCH: 

All your banking are belong to us.

The conversation is about Russia, for now.  However, as noted by the Canada example recently, it’s a short hop from Russia to those who are defined as ‘domestic threats.’

Reminder, Zelenskyy Statements Coordinate with State Dept Message Needs


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 27, 2022

It is always worth a brief reminder when looking at statements from foreign politicians under the influence of the U.S. government via the state department, that all messaging – even messaging that seems provocative, is coordinated by the alignment of interests. The process of promoting a mutually beneficial reality is especially important when reviewing any current statements from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

There is no sunlight between the agenda of Zelenskyy and the agenda of the U.S. State department. There are times when the U.S. government will ask their ideological policy partner, Zelenskyy, to be intentionally antagonistic toward the U.S. because the U.S. government is coordinating an internal pressure campaign.  It is all part of the carefully crafted propaganda campaign for domestic consumption.

In today’s example the State Dept wants Zelenskyy to keep up public pressure, via ever increasingly desperate demands of the United States for more military engagement.  The State Dept (CIA) use the media to create the desperation and hero narrative.  The hero begs for help, the media claim the U.S. government isn’t doing enough. Public pressure builds, and then the U.S. government gets to do what they have wanted to do, which was the purpose of asking Zelenskyy to maintain the pressure with increased frustration.  Wash – Rinse – Repeat.  That’s how the game is played.

When we look at how the media then frames the narrative: “is the west scared of Russia,” this is all done with a purpose and collective intent.  Nothing that happens in this scenario is not controlled. All messaging and narrative engineering is coordinated, organized and distributed.

The American people’s view on the Ukraine issue are carefully being manipulated for maximum benefit to the foreign policy establishment.  If you do not conform to the pressure, or if you see through the narrative engineering effort, you’re a hater of freedom and a lover of Putin.

The American electorate are in an abusive relationship with our government.

Interesting Map Shows Countries Who Support Western Govt Sanctions Against Russia vs Those Who Do Not


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 26, 2022 

An enterprising journalist from Bolivia [Twitter Link] mapped the countries that support the sanctions against Russia (yellow) versus the countries that are not participating in the western sanctions against Russia (grey).  The image provides a visual reference to consider our previous discussions about the cleaving of the global economy between two overarching ideologies.

[Source Credit]

In my estimation this intentional global cleaving, using the opportunity created by the Ukraine crisis, is going to be the major story of this year.  This global splitting can be looked at in multiple ways, but the overarching story is the ramifications of two global trade relationships.

The western alliance (in the yellow above), has forced the world to reevaluate the dollar as the global trade currency, by denying Russia and their trade partners the ability to use the financial mechanisms under western control. To work around the sanctions, Russia is working on new financial systems to sell oil and farm products in non-dollar currencies.  There is also a possibility the petro-dollar, for the global trade of oil, might be dropped.

Russia is part of OPEC.  While many countries develop their own resources, OPEC sells the majority of oil the rest of the world consumes as the basis for their economic engine.  One way to look at the global cleaving is to look at the way energy is viewed.

Two world groupings.  One group, oil-based energy (traditional) – let’s label them the RED GROUP (grey on map), and one group GREEN energy (the build back better plan, yellow on map).  It is not accidental these two groups hold similar internal geopolitical views and perspectives, hence, their alignment with the sanctions against Russia.

♦ The important part to see is… if this cleaving continues, there are going to be two sets of nations with two structurally different economies. A red group and a green group.

These two groups are going to end up in competition with each other.  It is as inevitable as sunrise, if you can see this cleaving I am talking about.

Now, think about the economic system of trade that exists between the Red and Green groups.  There has to be a way for them to exchange value if they are going to purchase from and sell to each other.

Additionally, and this is *key*, the Red group is going to have a strong strategic advantage in production costs.  The Red group is going to be using oil, coal and gas (fossil fuels), which are abundant, cheap and the infrastructure is already in place.

The Green group is going to be at a strong disadvantage, at least for a generation or two, as the costs associated with the production of goods and systems is going to be much more expensive to operate, as the transition into Build Back Better sustainable or renewable energy takes place.

In the macro view, stuff from the Red group is going to be cheap.  The exact same stuff from the Green group is going to be more expensive.

If you are still with me, hopefully, you can see how this is all coming together.

♦ The western debt incurred during COVID-19 is a problem.  However, this debt diminishes with inflation.  A $20 trillion debt is not as big a problem when bread costs $100/loaf and people are earning $50,000 a month.   The Green group is entering into this position.  In this position, the BlackRock approach of physical ownership of real estate and physical stuff is way more important than holding money or dollars which will immediately lose value.

Physical ownership of stuff is important.

♦ It is likely, based on the economic alignment, the Green group will be forced to assemble under one currency (set of financial valuations), and the Red group will then assemble under their own currency (set of financial valuations).  My hunch is the western group (green) will use a digital currency.

Once both sets of currencies are established, then trade between the Red group and Green group can be determined based on a central valuation.  In the Red group, a 20″ tire is worth 100 red bucks.  In the Green group, a 20″ tire is worth 150 digital green bucks.  Two vaults and two exchanges.

In order for all of this to come together, the population needs to be shifted in their perspective of money and material value.   That takes us to where this conversation started by Blackrock and the World Economic Forum: “owning nothing and being happy” is akin to “prizing experiences over possessions.”

The Western financial mega-system operators (Blackrock, Vanguard) are going to own the physical assets, and the people will live under that ownership. The western construct of a modern serfdom.  In the Red group, that socioeconomic system (essentially) already exists.

Another way to look at this map (notice the overlay):
