Matt, good to hear your reference to the "Mandate of Heaven." Knowing that the Mandate may be withdrawn if they do not serve the interests of the population at large moderates the actions of the ruling elite of China. They believe that if they become too selfish and ignore the need of the nation, that the Mandate will be withdrawn and they will be vulnerable to revolution, which can easily cost them their lives. It is this firm belief in the Mandate of Heaven that keeps the bulk of elites focused on long term goals rather than short term advantage and corruption.

Very insightful and thought-provoking, as usual!

This is a brilliant, coherent progression, Matt, that covers such a crucial history. I'll also look at the Pepe Escobar article to get more background. Grateful for your comprehensive work.

Whenever I read about the multi-focal economic system as an alternative to the US ruled, uni-focal Dollar driven system, I think it’s planned.

Why? Because Klaus told us this would be our future.

And the Trillions spent on Covid was planned to effectively destroy those US dollar - pound - euro - Western Economies ON PURPOSE. So the existing fiat systems can be seamlessly replaced by ‘interoperable’ CBDC’s. All the same as under one governance vehicle. UN? WHO?

Why even the UK Chancellor that increased Debt to GDP to 99.5% is borrowing ever more during his selected Reign. Aka UK now a failed economy as is US that was improving pre-2019.

And I wonder if the war is about ultimate control over the Global Digital systems to be. Russia China BRICS vs Klaus US UK EU.

End result for the punters is digital fascistic Authoritarianism.

You have to ignore huge swaths of reality in order to maintain the position you are holding onto

I’m looking at the reality that I saw exposed during the Brexit debacle and the end result of the Uk becoming a vassal state of the EU.

I’m looking at Cambridge Analytica scandal that revealed we the punters were manipulated on both sides of the debate. Soros on one side and Thiel and his cronies on the other.

It exposed that our politicians are compromised by corporate interests. I think that would be considered a form of fascism.

And I can’t ignore the Brezinski technocratic/fascistic plans (public private partnership from Blair). And that Gove (the real power broker/spin doctor), and Thiel are both transhumanists. As is WEF’s Great Reset.

I don’t pretend to understand as only someone who has studied these underlying powers for decades, such as would be an Anthony Sutton (an insider) could possibly come to a definite position. But I feel, it has always been nefarious. And I have followed the links from evolution, to eugenics to racial purity to the modern Human 2.0 to know it’s not how G*d designed our colorful human population. It’s the same ideology - Unter and Uber mensche.

Simply look at USAID implementation throughout the 3rd world. Cash via debt vehicles on condition of population controls. It’s ominous. And planned with evidence from Kissinger in 1974. Same period as WEF created, club of Rome’s Limits to Growth and Erlich. They didn’t want the poor reproducing. Interestingly we now have a Hindu in power and they believe in that also with the caste system.

And I would never tell anyone that they ‘need to ignore swaths if reality’ as that is mocking, undermining, and implies the person is Crazy aka in psychosis.

So you tell me, why would the Tories who were always classed as financially careful all of a sudden spend more than even Corbyn planned (and ripped apart in MSM for it) if not on purpose?

As for ignoring info, we all do it. Unless you know everything about every topic in the world. We are all ignorant of certain areas. It is only pomposity to imagine oneself knows how everything works. I was only positing hypotheses.

I'm not referring to your appreciation for evil, but rather your last sentence which appears to reduce the entire story to two varieties of "digital fascist authoritarianism" regardless of the Schwab-Davos unipolar death cult or Russia, China and the eurasian partnership coming out victorious. If you believe that these outcomes are just the same digital fascism, then what I said applies. IF I am wrong to interpret your remarks this way and you don't see them as two sides of the same evil, then I apologize for that, and revoke my assessment.

It's an interesting perspective you raise, BR. I don't know either if one will save us from the other or if it's just a fight between two factions of oligarchs. The petrodollar was falling pre-Covid, of course, but it's an open question in my mind whether Covid and Ukraine-Taiwan are coordinated efforts to entirely obliterate US/ UK rule. Or is there one gold ring to rule them all, owned by the Rothschilds? I asked the first question in this episode: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/the-reset-and-ukraine-same-or-different masters? But I entertain the possibility that WWII was a fight between competing royalty in my latest: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/did-fascists-win-wwii.

Ironic you bring up Lord of the Rung. I’d swear war criminals Blair who told WEFers that we must have digital ID’s for all those upcoming jabs to come, looks exactly like Gollum.

See Blair does and says whatever his master Soros tells him.

And Soros had been trying to destroy both China and Russia for decades.

Soros has sought to destroy everybody...Simply Criminally Insane and thrives in sadism; personally responsible for misery and death.

I totally wish I had a view of history or present day reality which would let me believe this. Please explain to me how we can have faith in ideas put forth by those nation states and political forces which remain as partners of what is put forth by the totalitarian insanity of the World Economic Forum? Hope I am not asking too much here. I would like to know which of these forces are working against this totalitarianism to honestly create a better world. Russia adapts social credit scoring. China - well it is nearly impossible to get accurate information about China. Trust is essential and trust requires abundant truthful information and real free speech. We are all immersed in this Psychological Operation.

History is a battle of ideas and influence over institutions created by man- sometimes institutions or technologies created with bad designs have been induced to serve the interests of the good, and other times good institutions or technologies (government is itself a form of technology) have been corrupted by evil to become used for nefarious outcomes. No magic wands exist to make the bad just disappear. But there is a plethora of evidence historic and present to substantiate my positive view of the eurasian partnership outlined in the article above

Thank you for your detailed comment. I enjoy your writing which, as it should, inspires further questions. I certainly hope you are correct.

My hope is that we will be able to transcend the tendencies all civilizations and nation states have to serve the hierarchy in further enslavement of we the people of Planet Earth.

I see a Eurasion partnership as positive as long as it serves the right masters - we the people. Unfortunately everywhere i see that it has failed to do that. Carrots are always better than sticks unless they are being used to manipulate.

I wonder have you ever included the LaRouche Organisation/Schiller Institute in any of your articles? They seem to be very active at the moment, conferences with prominent speakers, their youth members heckling AOC in meetings, being included on the "kill list". Just curious why not many people, if any, mention them or LaRouche's history. I've only just started watching them; they sound interesting.

Yes. Here is a piece which I wrote on Jan 22 elaborating the Schiller Institute and LaRouche's history at length: https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/mexico-pulled-between-bright-multipolar

and here's another one from a few months back:

And here are weekly study sessions I lead working through LaRouche's writings:

Western Financial Collapse has been PLANNED since at least the War of 1812 when the British Monarchy AGAIN suffered tremendous humiliation and Military loss to the United States. Or, perhaps it's been since the Russian Navy stopped the Foreign Occupation of the British and French on the West Coast during the raging Civil War...The exact date is contingent upon whatever history one subscribes to.

At any rate, in the eyes of the Ruling Class Elite, the U.S. HAS HAD TO END AS IT WAS/IS AN ENDLESS INSPIRATION TO THE WORLD TO RISE-UP TO OPPOSE THE DELUSIONAL RULING ELITES BELIEVING THEMSELVES GODS. There are/were simply too many of deplorable 'Dirty, Unwashed, Starving in endless Masses' than there are/were of the Ruling Elites and THAT IS/WAS TERRIFYING.

Meetings of the British Royals to discuss ways to create the appearance of BEING THE PROVERBIAL ALTRUISTIC SOCIAL WORKERS NECESSITY FOR SOCIETY is/was no secret. The Ruling Elites KNEW AND KNOW they really have/had NO NECESSARY PLACE IN SOCIETY SUCKING OFF THE TAXES OF A POPULATION THAT DIDN'T NEED THEM.

In the end, the Establishment Ruling Elites KNOW THEY'RE HUMAN as they KNOW THEY CAN DIE AT THE HANDS OF THOSE THEY'VE ENSLAVED, RAPED, STARVED, EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS, TORTURED, AND MURDERED throughout all time.

The International Banker/Corporatist Mafia has not only supported, financed, educated/trained for the advancement of the CCP/China and its Military with and by Advanced Western Methods; it used Hitler's Nazi Data and Scientists covertly shipped into the west to IMPLEMENT TECHNOCRATIC-FEUDAL NAZI PRINCIPLES AS METHODOLOGY FOR EXPERIMENTES ONTO THE WHOLE CHINESE POPULATION while deriving Universal Surveillance/Data Harvesting to better determine concise methods for obtaining ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER ALL PEOPLE as all fictional and not so fictional Supervillain Psycho-Predators obsess to have.

This financial collapse has been planned for centuries and is based upon the UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE REBELIOUS U.S. POPULATION AND MILITARY STRENGTH TO BE FEARED. For the first time in history; the Psycho-Predators actually have the technology to achieve their dystopian obsession and they're GOING ALL OUT FOR IT...With every tool in their Tech Arsenal possible. There's no doubt, if they must resort to an ALL-OUT BLOODY COUPE A LA HITLER/STALIN/MAO; it will happen. Psycho-Predators do not spend endless amounts of time, money and energy to fail in attaining their obsessive objectives, do they?

The fraudulent/cheat Elections installing weak, greedy, insane foreign agents into positions of power in the U.S. CLEARLY DELIBERATELY WEAKEN THE U.S. while the CCP is DELIBERATELY STRENGTHENED.

You've demonstrated alot of blind spots in your interpretation of history, and no shortage of oversimplifications which does no justice for the truth. For one, to place 'Hitler-Stalin and Mao' in one singular category as you do is just wrong. The only reason why the new world order attempt under the Nazi machine failed to be the singular one world transhumanist government was principally because of the sacrifices made by the Russians and Chinese who lost 25 million and 10 million respectively under the leadership of Stalin and Mao. China was in an infinetely better place while Trump was in office and are now facing an accelerating war drive by an Anglo deep state operation which is pushing the USA into a full war with both Russia and China- repeating the pattern of WWII all over again.

Great...Pleased for your response. Also, appreciate coming out from the weeds of the academic and into a commentary/summarization most indoctrinated/brainwashed U.S. laymen can comprehend.

In all respects; you're a very bright human being and it's impossible to allow some people to know they can't reach many in the real world as they're so far beyond the ability and psychological tolerance for the average indoctrinated/brainwashed westerner of U.S. origin to understand; let alone accept.

Wasn't seeking to be simple or stupid...Just trying to make a point. There's a reason most Newspapers were once wrote at a Sixth Grade Level for the average person/citizen.

As for what you've written...Concur completely. I'm not one of the indoctrinated or uneducated...However, I am of the humanities and have not one student or patient who would understand what you write and IT'S VITAL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE INFORMED AND EDUCATED BEYOND THE AVERAGE POLITICAL PUNDIT FROM ANY GIVEN MEDIA SOURCE...From Legacy T.V. to Social Media. Most of which are based in propaganda and lies and the truth is imperative from people having it as you do. Please, tone it down a bit for average people to understand.

Thank-you for your knowledge and expertise.

Something i cant understand--we have a big collapse coming, earnings have been terrible, interest rates are going to be going higher for the foreseeable future--yet the US markets seem to be going up every day. I know they had a bit of a down year last year but the last few months theyve been doing great. I dont get it.
