Joaquin Flores discusses the Great Reset, how people live in different internets or 'confirmation bias chambers', the 'Gargoyle Effect', and Marxian analysis. He believes the Great Rest is failing and that many people give more credit than is due to Davos by making them seem more powerful than they really are. Given that people like Klaus Schwab are liars, just because Schwab portends to have penetrated all governments does not make it so. He discusses the concept of empire, sea and land power, the Ukraine crisis, and how it's largely about energy. He sees roughly five blocs emerging in a multipolar world.

Joaquin Flores: We Give Davos More Credit Than It Deserves, Great Reset is Failing #278

Everyone feels the pinch when inflation is on the rise and so the pressure on central banks to manage inflation rates has grown exponentially in recent weeks. In this first podcast of a two-part series on inflation, distinguished economists Miles Kimball and Ruchir Agarwal discuss how a robust negative interest rate policy can help central banks better control inflation and stabilize the economy. 
Transcript: https://bit.ly/3xlHFEK 

Miles Kimball is a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and Ruchir Agarwal is a senior economist in the IMF Research Department. 

This podcast series is based on their inflation trilogy published in Finance and Development. Read the article at IMF.org/fandd

Strong suits: climate litigation

Jeremy Wilmotte (@oceanpixels) was born in Belgium and now calls Sydney, Australia home for himself and family. He began foiling roughly 4 years ago and has never looked back.  He states "every single foiling division is so much fun no matter how many obstacles get thrown at me to return to the normal path of the standard citizen. Recently I have started to venture into bigger hollower waves similar to my previous obsession as a grumpy old retired surfer."

Field of Fireflies (w. Prithvi)

Jacob Nordangård discusses how he got into researching the global elite and their diabolical plans for us all. It's a billionaires club which has greatly expanded through foundations and now Silicon Valley elites are taking over from the earlier industrialists. Their principle goal has always been world government, the UN's "Common Agenda" today openly describes these goals. He describes how the EU is the blueprint for world government. He comments on the absolute insanity of the "Al-Gore-Rithm Ghetto" and how people don't want to grasp it because it's so scary. He also gets into the occult and esoteric nature of the globalists. All countries are on board with the program, multipolarity is what globalism is all about, the Ukraine War is about re-structuring.
