The Signs Say “Yes”
by Chris Martenson

China’s statements and actions are consistent with a nation preparing for war. Or, at least an intelligent nation, unlike the EU which poked, prodded and finally got a war on with Russia, but failed to prepare meaningfully, or at all, beforehand. You know what? I am so used to defective leadership that it now seems…

The Evils of Nuclear War Can be Survived. Here’s How.
by Chris Martenson

It’s an uncomfortable place to be…living at a time when leaders discuss the idea of attacking a major nuclear power as if there would be no real consequences.

The market-moving event this week: the European Central Bank decided to raise rates by 75 bp, so now deposits are yielding (are you ready?): a grand total of 0.75%.  Back up the truck!
