On 28 June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated in Sarajevo. Who would know that in only a few weeks the whole of Europe would be at war, leading to the deaths of millions. Are we facing a similar escalation of events today?
In a little over five weeks from the Sarajevo assassination, all the European combatants had embarked on the most destructive war in all history. It came out of nowhere and was to last over four years.
Central to the escalation was one nation — Germany. Central to the current Middle East crisis is one nation — The United States.
The escalation into a new world war could have further to go than previously, with nuclear weapons in the armouries of most of the combatants. Surely, it would be complacent to think that they will remain as an unused umbrella, never to be deployed. But we can see how developments considered only one step at a time can take us to a very dark place.
Bearing in mind that the US uses NATO to prevent having to call up her own citizens and that the UK Government when asked by the US to jump merely asks how high, then perhaps this call to arms should be taken seriously as an indication that the intelligence services believe that events are leading towards a third world war.
Putin and Xi are well-versed in war tactics. Russia has a history of letting its enemies extend themselves beyond their support lines (cf. Napoleon, Hitler) and China has the wisdom of Sun Tzu on warfare. Some Sun Tzu pearls: “All warfare is based on deception”, “Hold out baits to entice the enemy” (Houthis, Hezbollah ect.), “If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.” Doesn’t this last one just describe the US’s political class?
Apart from its military build-up so eloquently forewarned by Erskine Childers’ The Riddle of the Sands, in 1914 Germany declared its European wars from a position of relative financial strength. Today, America has a fiat dollar, a debt to GDP ratio of about 125%, and is mired in a deepening debt trap. It is simply not in a position to embark on an open-ended commitment to support Israel in a war against Iran.
US economic prospects are already dire, with the only growth being in the US budget deficit. Strip out a budget deficit likely to be $3 trillion this fiscal year, add in the consequences for currency debasement and you can see that the US economy is not only in trouble, but markets faces further dilution of the dollar’s purchasing power and therefore rising interest rates and bond yields
Other than a degeneration into a nuclear conflict, this leaves us with only one possible outcome: the US backs off in this stupendous game of chicken and seeks some sort of face-saving exit from Ukraine. For Russia and Iran, it will be the ultimate victory. The dollar’s hegemony will be compromised, so will continue to decline in its value anyway, but at a less catastrophic rate than in a full-on conflict.
Either way, holding credit as opposed to real money without counterparty risk will be the mistake commonly made, and when the wider population begins to understand that this is so, there will be insufficient gold to meet the likely demand at any price. - LewRockwell

[What's masquerades for news on the US networks is Agitprop for the Western Globalists on the Payrolls of their MICs, the loss in lives be damned. I think this is great news to educate that propagandized public to wake up and see the con they've been force fed by the World Controllers while they and their families are still alive to do so!]
Carlson, who launched his own network on X (formerly Twitter), posted a short video from Moscow, explaining the logic behind his upcoming interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Most Western media outlets are corrupt and “lie to their readers and viewers,” mainly by omission, Carlson argued. There has been no effort to speak to Putin since the conflict started in 2022, while US outlets have conducted many “fawning pep sessions” posing as interviews with Zelensky, he added.
“That is not journalism. It is government propaganda – propaganda of the ugliest kind, the kind that kills people,” said Carlson.
“Because no one has told them the truth,” most people in English-speaking countries are unaware of “history-altering developments,” according to Carlson.
“That’s wrong. Americans have the right to know all they can about a war they are implicated in,” he added, noting that freedom of speech is the American birthright that can’t be taken away no matter who sits in the White House. Carlson reminded his viewers that the US government spied on his text messages in 2021, when he attempted to interview Putin.
He urged Americans to watch the entire interview on X, which will not be censored or paywalled, and decide for themselves, “like a free citizen, and not a slave.” - RT
