STRATEGIC ALERT Service

The election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City on Nov. 4 sent a shock wave throughout the financial and political establishments of the United States. Voter turnout was larger than it has been in decades for such an election and, according to exit polls, over 75% of young voters chose the “outsider” over former Democratic governor Andrew […]

The Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) issued an Alert Memorandum to Donald Trump, detailing what he needs to be told before the United States plunges into “a wider and/or ‘forever’ war” with Venezuela and its Ibero-American neighbors, one which could even extend to Venezuela’s foreign supporters, such as Russia and China—with all that would imply for […]

The French Solidarité et Progrès party held a tremendously rich and challenging international conference on Nov. 8-9 in Paris titled: “Emancipate Africa and the World Majority, A Challenge for Europe”, co-sponsored by the Schiller Institute.

The undeniable shift taking place in the world, away from the Western “rules-based order”, has significantly accelerated, spurred on by the inevitable collapse of the international financial system. The general direction was perceptible at the Oct. 30 meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, where the former was forced to walk back almost the entirety of his […]

Not a major diplomatic breakthrough, but nonetheless a welcome step toward establishing a more stable relationship between the United States and China, is how one could characterize the Oct. 30 meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea. More importantly, China came away with an agreement that essentially brought all American trade restrictions and tariffs back to […]

Coming off of his summit meeting with President Trump (cf. above), Chinese President Xi Jinping continued his diplomatic offensive during and on the sidelines of the APEC meeting in Gyeongju, on Oct. 31-Nov. 1. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum comprises 21 member countries in the Pacific Rim, plus ASEAN as an observer. At this year’s meeting, Xi Jinping was the […]

Here we go again. On Oct. 31, the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury injected an emergency 50 billion dollars into the interbanking “repo” market, as the one-quarter rate cuts earlier in the week were not enough to prevent a serious liquidity crisis.
