One year ago, on Sept. 26, 2022, a series of explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines connecting Russian gas fields and Germany. This outrageous act of terrorism against civilian energy infrastructure helped to usher in an enormously expensive winter for Germany and Europe generally, after energy prices increased by an order of magnitude for several months.

The Western world experienced an eerie moment in Canada, when the political leaders assembled in the Parliament stood in thunderous applause for an elderly WWII fighter against the Russians.

First released Aug. 28, their analysis makes reference to the Chinese peace proposal from Feb. 24 of this year, which offers “a reasonable approach” to negotiations, but builds on it substantially in what is likely the most thorough plan thus far. The […]

A new study by the Institute of International Finance (IIF) reports that global debt has reached a new high of $307 trillion. However, this category leaves out financial derivatives, which are an estimated five times as much to be added to that sum, bringing the total outstanding financial aggregates to close to $2 quadrillion, according to EIR’s estimates.
