Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter discusses US foreign policy, the decline of US empire, and the shift toward a multipolar world. He considers the Biden administration to be one of the most dangerous in modern times as it has gone back to square one (the post-WWII era), demanding American allies and the world subordinate themselves to Washington. He looks at the rise of Iran, the failed Forever Wars in the Middle East which have destroyed the American economy and military, and considers NATO a joke of an organization no longer capable of fighting a war. The U.S is unable to catch up to China's economic infrastructure investments and the consequences of continued hegemonic behavior and failed diplomacy could translate into escalation of military conflict with Russia or China and ultimately risk the use of nuclear weapons.

Behind the Green Mask - Rosa Koire, #430

Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s proudly “illiberal democracy” has nobbled nearly every institution. Now that his ruling party <a href="https://www.economist.com/leaders/2021/05/01/viktor-orban-seizes-control-of-hungarys-universities?utm_campaign=the-intelligence&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_source=third-party-host&amp;utm_content=show-notes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">will run</a> the higher-education system, expect a propaganda blitz.

Illiberal-arts degrees: Hungary’s universities seized

NYT best-selling author Richard Poe discuses his upcoming book on the history of globalism and why its birth is not with the America Empire as so often is portrayed, but rather emanates from the British Empire which continues operating from behind the scenes. He points out the odd fact that Pax Britannica won two world wars and then just mysteriously disappeared. Britain still maintains its liberal imperial or globalist empire via its commercial and financial hegemonic system, it simply switched its subjects from formal to informal dependencies. It lets the American Empire do the heavy lifting through costly military machinery and waging of war. He also gives his thoughts on The Great Reset which seems to be the next phase of globalism, an aristocratic agenda that seeks to bring us back to the Middle Ages.

Richard Poe: Globalism Rooted in British Liberal Imperialism, Not American Empire #201

Award-winning author Edwin Black joins us to discuss "Newgenics" and the Chinese-style "Social Credit Score" system which he believes will ultimately come to every nation on earth and which has been greatly accelerated by Covid-19. He describes how a person within such a system will become relegated to the "Algorithm Ghetto" with a "Non-Entity" or "Zombie" status. He looks at what this means for the future and what, if anything, individuals or nations can do to mitigate such a dystopian scenario.

Memoir of a World Watcher - Diana Johnstone, #423

G. Edward Griffin examines how COVID-19 is being used as a pretext to strip away freedoms and move us toward supranational government. He comments on the Marxist revolutionary movement of BLM and Antifa in America, something which he predicted in detail in a 1969 lecture titled "More Deadly Than War." He assesses the grim and "Pessimistic Scenario" we are moving toward and considers we are truly in a "life and death" situation. Nevertheless, with great cheer he inspires and urges people to continue fighting tyranny.
