Home Economists, Aleks at Black Mountain Analysis (Serbian) caps off his excellent series: Economics and Empires 6 [i] Downfall Power or hegemony is attained through control of markets and resources. These two aspects are everything that is important in the global game of power. Nothing else. Again:
Can’t say I like what the USA has done and is doing. Apparently we are the oligarchs’ chosen servant. No moral imperative there. The human imperative historically has involved empire and violence. As far as voting for an uncorrupted person, highly unlikely. At least in the USA, the very election process is corrupted; the counting of votes is the least of it.
When will Russia stop the USA’s support of Ukraine’s war?
As far as Israel is concerned, my sympathies are with Nasrallah of the Lebanese Hezbollah.
WTF is America doing in the Eastern Mediterranean? Throwing our weight around? Making friends? [sure]. I find myself cheering on the Houthis.
Message from the DOD; Dear dead baby; Medicos injected you with heavy metal poison, and you died. They did this in the name of public health, and the adults around you are mostly too stupid and compliant to stop this practice. Thank you for your cooperation in the genocidal depopulation.

general security - for the majority...
Security is the driver of Empire...
Prosperity is never generally shared...
I sometimes wonder how much of my living is
dependent on the low wages paid to others...

Riding a bike is meditation, but not in traffic.
