Howzit Work
Intrigued,
Matt Stoller describes the dynamic of our global, debt-based, Ponzi-schme economy, which degrades gradually and with plausible-deniability until the pretense of faith is shattered, but not yet,my 401k is worth $2.3 million now... The Number Go Up Rule: Why America Refuses to Fix Anything In the Booming Twenties, all decision-making is about protecting the value of financial assets held by older people. Therefore, the number must go up. And nothing else matters.
The Honest Sorcerer, Societal Collapse Is Not a Bug…but it's not the end of the world either Living in small homes built entirely from locally available resources and using manpower alone is not a fairy tale.However, it will take an awful long time and a lot of hardship till we get to that point… again.This is how the story of building one civilization after the other based entirely on non-renewable resources always ends, and it won’t be any different this time either....What we've got on our hands here and now is the outcome of a predicament we entered ten thousand years ago. After repeated iterations of the many civilizations ravaged the entire planet, having reduced wildlife populations and the size of natural ecosystems to a mere fraction of their original size, there is no return to the caves, spears and bows either. At least not this century or the next. This civilization has no other option than to go through a long, protracted but nonetheless radical simplification. Even though we will eventually have to leave all modern technology behind, this won’t happen from one day to the next, nor voluntarily for that matter... ..Systems (be them physical,biological, economic, political etc.)which use energy the most efficiently always out-compete other, less efficient systems.This process ultimately leads to all available energy and resources being used up — hence the name: the Maximum Power Principle — a phenomenon first described by mathematician, physical chemist, and statistician Alfred Lotka a hundred years ago. In our case it meant thatforagers were out-competed by agriculturists, who were in turn were out-competed by industrialists burning fossil fuels. Each step represented a jump in energy and resource consumption.Social complexity, science, technology, GDP growthwere all downstream to thisever higher appropriation of energy and raw materials, eventually leadingto the formation of world spanning empires. First the Dutch, the British, then the American led “rules based order”— each bigger and more powerful than its predecessor. Sincewe are rapidly approaching planetary limits when it comes to further increasing our energy and material throughput, it is doubtful we will ever see a world spanning empire again. Our current path as a global civilization is wholly unsustainable, and thus will not be sustained for much too long. Before we could begin our long descent back to a more sustainable lifestyle, the current system has to collapse, though. Thanks to the maximum power principle it will not and cannot give up power until it exhausts all other options and folds under its own weight. Only then can we begin to charter our way towards a new equilibrium with Nature and begin the long healing process. This will naturally involve a need to redevelop counterbalances to our desires and finding the wisdom to say no to things which we could otherwise do. The regular redistribution of wealth, farmland or fishing patches, not to mention debt jubilees and potlatch (giving away or destroying wealth or valuable items) are all good places to start.
Frances Leader (What is their power over us?), Who Really Rules The World? The Black Nobility’s grip on finance, war, and health.
The term “Black Nobility” is relatively modern, coined by these families themselves to sound mysterious and occult. Their origins trace back to the Roman Empire, claiming descent from senators driven out by the Visigoths centuries ago. Fleeing to the marshes of northern Italy, they founded Venice, a pirate stronghold that dominated Mediterranean trade. From Venice, they expanded to Amsterdam and then the City of London with William of Orange, establishing a financial empire independent of Britain. Here are the episode highlights:
The Human Shield Tactic: Frances reveals how the Black Nobility use “human shields” to deflect blame. The British Empire, for instance, was never truly British—it was their empire, mislabeled to make the British people take the fall for its atrocities... ..The Three (Now Four) Power Centers: The Black Nobility operate through three key hubs: the Vatican (spiritual control), Washington, D.C. (military), and the City of London (finance). Each is an independent entity, not part of their respective nations. Frances drops a bombshell about a fourth hub emerging in Astana, Kazakhstan, a city built this century with in-your-face symbolism—phoenix gardens, Judaic towers, and ties to the ancient Tengri religion. Astana’s financial center adopting English as its official language is a clue it’s becoming a globalist nerve center... ..The Financial Trap: Frances breaks down the immoral banking system: central banks create money as loans, forcing us to repay with interest we must borrow again to cover—a perpetual debt cycle... ..No Legal Recourse: I ask if international laws like the Geneva Protocols or The Hague offer hope, but Frances is blunt: the United Nations, set up by the Black Nobility via the Club of Rome, is a trap. The Vatican’s observer seat and the City of London’s “Remembrancer” in British Parliament ensure these entities are untouchable... ..Hope in Human Creativity: Despite the bleak picture, Frances is optimistic. She scoffs at Yuval Harari’s claim that “useless eaters” will be pacified with drugs and games. As an activist who’s scraped by, she knows humans are inventive under pressure.
100% Chance of Nuclear War – Martin Armstrong "We have staff in Germany, and I was told by my staff that a friend 60 years old was told to report to duty. I had a friend who was at the Viennia Peace Conference, and he called me when it was over and said, ‘Holy crap, this has nothing to do with peace anymore. This is all about preparing for war. Everybody should start getting ready for drafts, to start going that way.’ They want war. They are not backing off.”
Armstrong’s computer “Socrates” is signaling war as early as next month. Armstrong says, “Starting in August, this whole thing is going to be escalating up. Our computer has what we call a ‘Panic Cycle’ with our war cycles for 2026. That is not good. I don’t know what the hell Trump is smoking. . .. My computer has been projecting war, and it is projecting war going into 2026. This is not looking good, and Europe will lose. It is as simple as that.” The other big event that happened that will change the economic system forever is the House just passed the so-called GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins). The bill is now headed to President Trump to sign into law. Armstrong contends that US debt is being sold by big holders of Treasuries, and we have to find a new market for our huge Treasury debt or we default. Treasury bonds will supposedly backstop stablecoins that the banks will control. Armstrong says, “This is really a repeat of 1863. In the Civil War, they issued national bank notes. The banks were told to buy the bonds. They could buy bonds to fund the war, and they were allowed to issue currency backed by the bonds. This is the same exact thing. These stablecoins are the same thing as the 1863 National Bank Act.” https://usawatchdog.com/100-chance-of-nuclear-war-martin-armstrong/

Western Life Is Only One Way to Live, Thomas Neuburger Conor Gallagher intro: There are also still small communities not organized around capitalism, such as Ashaninka villages in Peru that practice real direct democracy on a smaller, manageable scale and live in reciprocity with the environment. Long ago this used to be commonplace, but I’d have to disagree with Neuberger’s conclusion that we could have this the minute we want to. The rich that will never surrender their ill-gotten wealth and power and a whole lot of people who want that wealth for themselves. Even countries that try to experiment with new modes new modes of production, distribution, and reproduction are targeted relentlessly and ruthlessly by the capitalist gangsters. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/07/western-life-is-only-one-way-to-live.html

"Anger" at Putin is just a cover: the West announced in advance the imminent replacement of Zelensky with Zaluzhny. Signals are coming from the West that Volodymyr Zelensky, who imagined himself to be beyond the control of Western curators, has signed his own death warrant. Now this is no longer a rumor, but the very near future... ..If Zelensky refuses to leave his post, which is most likely, then he will be forced to do so, as "one of the American officials involved" told Hersh. https://en.topcor.ru/62200-zlost-na-putina-lish-prikrytie-na-zapade-zaranee-anonsirovali-skoruju-zamenu-zelenskogo-na-zaluzhnogo.html
Simplicius, Out of Options, West Again Floats Flushing Zelensky? B at MoA covered this in full, so I don’t need to rehash every detail. But suffice it to say that it accords with Trump’s alleged recent opinion that Zelensky is the ‘main obstacle to peace’, despite new misgivings about Putin. B does point out that Hersh reportedly makes a perplexingly off-target claim about Russian losses, as follows:
"I have been provided with new Russian casualty numbers, from carefully evaluated US and British intelligence estimates, that show that Russia has suffered two million casualties—nearly double the current public numbers—since Putin started the war in early 2022."
If the same sources who’ve furnished Hersh with such outlandish casualty figures are the ones who’ve relayed the latest Zelensky intel, then it certainly casts doubt on the rest of their info.
In fact, another round of new body exchanges has shown casualty disparities continuing in the stratospheric range, as Russia gave back 1,000 new bodies to Ukraine, and received 19 in return.

Sub-Saharan Africa Can't Afford to Eat on a Carbon Diet. Green fertilizers are an empty promise to farmers in sub-Saharan Africa Today, the production of most fertilizers begins with a process known as steam methane reforming (SMR). SMR uses the methane (CH4) in natural gas to make “grey” hydrogen which gets reacted with atmospheric nitrogen to make grey ammonia (NH3). The entire process of synthesizing grey ammonia from natural gas is called the Haber-Bosch process.
Each year, emissions from the Haber-Bosch process account for about 1.8% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on account of its high energy requirements and SMR’s generation of high-purity CO2 as a chemical byproduct. In contrast,“green” hydrogen—produced by splitting water (H2O) with renewable electricity—directly emits no CO2 but regularly costs over twice as much as grey.

Thank you for your coverage of the genocide and developments that may lead to the isolation of the murderous core which is deeply rooted across the world’s power centers and media. Will that core be destroyed before the extinction of a people? I wonder how you read the intentions of the Mossad head as a person? Is a prime mover any more? The MAHA debacle and betrayal of RFK and our vulnerable children is horrible but not surprising - and I hoped to be wrong - but Makary and Prasad pretty boys were always in the epi analysis side of the bioweapon assessment (vs pathophysiology of the jab variants) which is a place to hide out from the absolute killer nature of the mechanism by design. By design! By design❗️Anyone who understood the by design let alone the after emergent issues w manufacturing and variations in contaminant deadliness could NEVER think it was good for the most vulnerable or anyone. To think that you have to ignore years of post jab data on short and long adverse effects and population shedding. Those appointments were awful and represent Trump’s inability personally to face his responsibility or a more sinister interpretation that I do not leap to. The betrayal at HHS needs to be looked at as a criminal conspiracy in this current admin and referred for special prosecutor follow up. There is no evidence to support the vote to ok the vax bioweapon under any circumstances. Let’s go. Let’s make everyone who touched this lawyer up until they need food stamps to eat. Lawfare goes 2 ways and if a wide circle of Rico conspiracy gets actionable in law, then we may see Justice. Falsification in matters of health by lobbyists in collusion with government should be criminal. Not only civil but criminal. I want those 2 appointments under RFK taken out for failure to inform him. If Stanford needs a seat at the table (which is a joke cuz Stanford needs to suffer along w the other elite) then get Atlas and Ioannidis who are moderates. Personally I’d like to see the real opposition put in office however. Got to wonder who/what’s running Bobby some days. Finally, Dr John - Bannon had Rickerts on a few days ago and he addressed the fact that Powell has no say over the part of the system that actually effects interest on Nat debt payments -- he was diplomatic but the accusations against Powell are not relevant to reality because of what part of the banking system Powell actually effects. So that had Bannon laughing. Smoke and mirrors. I pray the innocents under the Z-cabal find aid -- really RFK on this subject has seemed wretched in the worst way -- I don’t get it in a man who wants to help children. You have always been clear eyed about that Dr John. Recently, I have remembered that Teddy Kennedy was the pol who brought Barrack to Harvard as a young man. Barrack whose CIA and immense wealth was always hidden. Recently, I have recalled that Jimmy Carter said Teddy defeated Medicare for All so Carter could not run on it against him. Then I guess he spent the next 40 years trying to resurrect a better national health insurance? Smoke and mirrors. Thanks again for the very best digest on the substacks 💙
