Does the name Eric Heymann sound familiar? This newsletter covered a 2020 paper he wrote, asserting that the European transition policy to a “zero carbon” economy would not be possible without “some sort of eco-dictatorship” (cf. SAS 3/21).

Astute observers see in the assassination on July 8 of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a dangerous show of force by the war party. The message is clear: any leader or nation that breaks ranks on the anti-Russia and anti-China policy will suffer the consequences. Shinzo Abe was the most powerful political leader in Japan, and among the strongest […]

The perfect storm of hyperinflation, energy shortages, a resurgence of COVID and industrial layoffs is now starting to hit the EU. It could have been fully avoided, had governments: 1. prevented the ECB from bailing out the bankrupt financial system with hyperinflationary monetary expansion; 2. avoided the flight forward out of fossil fuels; 3. carried out at the very least a feasibility study […]
