The four years of “Joe Biden’s” term-in-office that followed have induced the most severe disordering of the collective American mind in our history, lost in a fog of perfidious mendacity unmatched in scope by the Civil War, or any other national crisis.
For years, we have been forced to swallow absurdities such as unsafe and ineffective vaccines, drag queens in the grade schools, borders wide-open to saboteurs (declared to be “secure”), and a stupid war against Russia that has destroyed the sad-sack nation of Ukraine.
“Joe Biden” has been a disaster and an embarrassment, easily the most damaging character to ever creep onto the US political scene. His one talent was for fakery.
The slime trail of crimes he leaves behind would be easy to follow by law enforcement officials actually interested in crime. He’s likely to pardon himself at the last moment, and pardon a long roster of federal officials who have committed crimes with and behind him. One way or another, they are going to be found out, even if many manage to evade prosecution.
So, adios, “Joe Biden,” you miserable, treasonous bastard. History will record you as the one president so far who was consciously a villain outright, in true self-knowledge of his own wickedness. You left your country a wreck in every dimension: in national security, national bankruptcy, national pride, and national confidence.

It seems to me that we are now in a long term standoff in the Persian Gulf with the Iranians keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed they say until the US makes concessions which I cannot imagine it will ever make. Whilst this is debilitating for the global economy, from an Iranian point of view this strategy carries risks and as I have discussed in various programmes Alex and I have done together, I am far from sure that long term it is the right approach. for Iran to take. Strengthening relations with the key BRICS states, ie. China and Russia, makes better sense to me.

The key point however is that it is unlikely that the Strait of Hormuz is going to reopen any time soon, and this is intensifying the steadily growing energy crisis, especially in Europe. With gas reserves at very low levels and uncertain supplies of oil and gas, Europe on top of all its many other problems must now look forward to a very hard winter.

Meanwhile with every day that passes Ukraine is getting more and ...

Essential watching. Please spread widely.

What has Trump unleashed upon the US and world economies? What monsters have his short sighted planless actions created? What can be done if anything to turn things aground.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
