Thank you, karlof1 for your substack on the reunification anniversary, as well as this sobering essay by Pepe Escobar. We do well when we remember that history is full of subtleties as well as stressful encounters: no one nation can claim superiority over the rest. Blessed are the governments who take all families, all ethnicities, into account and strive to exemplify within their borders stability and peaceful accommodation. That is what I vaue in both Russia and China that, by example, they lead.

furies@96….regardless of specific virus, existing or not, real or imagined, man made or random…….the clot shots are real, and do damage humans in ways unknown to mere lay people…..how many 5 yr olds need D Dimer requisitions…pre vaccination vrs post, the people that run the lab tests on a daily basis say it used to be rare, now it is quite common. A 5 yr old with blood clots, wtf.
The main tests being run now are IGG, immuno globulin, many people who have been jibed more than three times are losing their immunity…and getting weird cancers…….insiders call it VAIDS. And these test requisitions from GPs, (this is unfolding world wide, btw) looking for weird cancer markers is growing exponentially post vaxx roll out.
Cheers M

ZH has a posting up with the title
Time To End The Fed And Its Mismanagement Of Our Economy
The great historic summary quote

Central banking dates to 1694, when the Bank of England was founded for the purpose of creating the hidden tax of inflation to provide cheap money to government—above all, for Britain’s many foreign wars. In exchange, the central bankers were paid well with interest.
Like any government-favored bank, the Bank of England lent money it didn’t have, lending far more than the silver in its vaults. The British government endorsed this fraud because the king and Parliament wanted the money.
But the fraud went further still: The Bank of England was allowed to use its new government bond holdings to back private loans, which meant creating even more money with no silver behind it to lend to private banks. This, too, earned interest, even though the money was created out of nothing.
The explosion of money caused a tissue fire in the British economy—a short period of fast growth followed by rampant inflation and an economic collapse. The boom-bust cycle was born, what we now call the “business cycle.”
When the Bank of England didn’t have enough silver to exchange for all the money it created, the British government pulled the 18th-century equivalent of a bailout by suspending specie redemption, allowing the Bank of England to stop repaying in the silver it had promised.
Central banking was imported to the New World before the Constitution was even written. The Bank of North America, our first central bank, copied the Bank of England and created hyperinflation under the Articles of Confederation. At that point, the Founding Fathers scrapped both the Articles of Confederation and the bank.
Thinking that the bank needed a replacement, Congress created the First Bank of the United States in 1791 to consolidate the various currencies and debts from the states and to provide short-term loans to the government.
The First Bank was forbidden from buying government bonds to avoid its predecessor’s hyperinflation. But when the government needed more revenue, Congress decided to sell its shares in the bank, and the charter wasn’t renewed. The central bank was dead, and the U.S. economy boomed until the War of 1812.
To finance that war, the government borrowed heavily from regional banks, which created money out of nothing for the government. That meant that much more paper money was in circulation than gold and silver in bank vaults. When people tried to redeem their paper for specie, the banks didn’t have enough, and many failed.
To bail out the banks, Congress created another central bank in 1816, the Second Bank of the United States.
The Second Bank curtailed excessive lending by regional banks, but only after first encouraging it. The result was a debt-fueled boom followed by a bust in 1819 that sparked the nation’s first depression.
Many in Congress were tolerant of the violent economic spasms caused by the central bank because it provided money for them to spend without overtly raising taxes. But the people were not fooled and would not tolerate it. They elected Andrew Jackson to do battle with the beast, and he ensured the bank’s charter wasn’t renewed in 1836.
That ushered in some of America’s greatest decades of economic growth.
The Golden Age came to an end in 1907 when mismanagement by major banks touched off a bank crisis that required a herculean rescue effort by J.P. Morgan and Co. In response, J. Pierpont Morgan wanted the government to sanction a private “bank for bankers” to respond to such crises.
The progressives in Congress refused because, as Sen. Nelson Aldrich (R-R.I.) said, “We may not always have Pierpont Morgan with us to meet a banking crisis.” And so, shortly after Morgan’s death in 1913, the politicians created a fully government-run institution to bail out government and bad banks alike: the Federal Reserve.

How long before the US closes all Chinese restaurants?

@James21. So push India closer to Russia and China?
I tell ya, one cant help but wonder out loud which side empire is actually playing for here.

Posted by: Tannenhouser | Oct 1 2023 13:10 utc | 215

How long before US closes all Chinese restaurants, lester? Never. Chinese ancestry people and their food is well over seven generations inside the USA and is as much a part of its fabric as anything else.
Now the government can be a petulant ass, like with Freedom Fries against the French during Iraq 2: Electric Boogaloo. So the US could try to rename some food dishes into some jingoistic crap. But given time it’ll fade out of sheer laziness from even the most stubborn government lapdog troglodyte.
There’s plenty of Chinese culture preserved in libraries, fine arts, performing arts, and living form cultural arts throughout the Americas that there’s very little the governments of either the USA or China could do about it (besides nuclear holocaust). At this point citrus-glazed chicken is as American as California sushi, French fries, Sriracha, and pumpkin spice.

Fair comment. I apologize for any offense, and thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. I should extend that apology to all here. I drink, and go overboard at times, letting first thoughts fly. To be honest though, this site (MoA) is the most interesting and informative English-language site with regards to this Ukie-Russia-Nato war because b structures it well and simply, allows a really wide range of opinions, and the level of factual knowledge and intellectual back-and-forth is just amazing. I should just read more and post less.

Thanks for that Not Ewe. I will probably keep posting on occasion. I realize I am intellectually far outgunned on many subjects raised here (not always though, I am a STEM person). I do get irritated by some of the ideologues and their faith in isms.

The war ends by the total destruction of shithole RuZZia…it’s desperately begging for his own Japanese 1945 moment as all other NaZi-ruled countries (Belarus, China, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Niceragua, Niger, Eritrea, Simbabwe, Serbia, Hungary…)

Posted by: Josh | Oct 5 2023 6:13 utc | 223

@Josh
What have Russia, China and all those other nations you mention ever done to deserve such a cruel fate? How do you define ‘Nazi’? Do you spit poison over the fact that those same countries are not aligned with the USA as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the EU nations, Japan and South Korea are?
