Why the Empire Won’t Go Quietly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Make no mistake about it: the West is doubling-down on its losing wars — and there’s no end in sight. In this discussion, we try and look beyond the usual boiler plate talking points, and instead consider the actions of the US and its NATO allies: against the Palestinians, in Ukraine, as well as against Iran and Yemen. Bear in mind that all of this is taking place amid a backdrop of the failing US dollar world reserve currency system. Rather than reconsider its position, and chart a realistic pa
Peak Empire & The Cast Court (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We continue our exploration of history and present day geopolitics, this time walking amid some of the British Empire's greatest artistic treasures, historical artifacts and symbols of power - either collected, or copied, from around the known world. As luck would have it, whilst exploring Prince Albert and Queen Victoria's epic Cast Court in the V&A Museum in South Kensington, London, I ran into an old friend, Dr Peter Gandy, and together we made our way through some of the incredible scale rep
Iran & Yemen Reshaping Region, US and Israel Attempt to Strong-arm Saudis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Iran continuing to inflict severe damage on US bases across West Asia, as well as shutting down the Strait of Hormuz—coupled with Yemen’s Ansar Allah (aka “The Houthis”) controlling the Bad al-Mendab Strait—a new Middle East (West Asia) is beginning to take shape.

Yemen’s Houthis Seize More Territory, As War Turns Against America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Yemen’s Ansar Allah forces aka “The Houthis”, have gained control of yet another key Yemeni port city—this time in Mocha. This major offensive comes amid overall escalation of hostilities across the region, with the Houthis and Saudi Arabia trading blows, as well as military excanges between Iran the US again. Yemen’s Saudi/US-backed puppet government and its oddly titled the “National Resistance Forces” continue to lose ground in Yemen, and who we’re told supposedly withdrew in order
Is This Trump and Israel’s Last Desperate Gambit Against Iran? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, we saw Iran retaliate against the latest US aggression in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian missiles pummeling US military facilities located in Jordan, as well as the unveiling of new hypersonic missile technology which could threaten US Navy assets in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. This leaves us asking the fundamental question: does the Trump regime have a real strategy for this seemingly open-ended war against Iran? All of this is happening as the US bond market continues to
