Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media.
Ukrainian President Zelensky claims Russia fired deliberately, purposefully at ordinary houses. Ok, this is war and atrocities happen undoubtedly. However, I do not know the full story. Perhaps the “ordinary house” was being used to shoot at Russian troops? Perhaps, it really was not really an ordinary house. President Zelensky, you messed up when you listened to your CIA handlers and allowed a war to happen between you and your next door neighbor who happens to be a big brother that you do not get along with. If you expect the United States to be able to support you just ask Poland what happened to them when England promised to support them before WWII.
Netherlands farmer’s revolt over what I have heard are nitrogen emissions or pollution or something else about nitrogen. This, to me, does not make sense considering crops require nitrogen to grow and our atmosphere comprises something in the neighborhood of 89% nitrogen. What really is at play here? Who is behind these “environmental” regulations and what is their real end game? Something is a foot here and it seems anti life and as if someone or something is trying to really disrupt the world’s food sources. I cannot help but think about how Stalin starved the Ukrainians and how the English starved the Irish. It would not be the first time food has been used as a weapon for certain.
I read that the price of gold and silver are falling because the price of the dollar is strengthening. This because there is “…flight from the Euro and Yen to the dollar”. So let me think about this for a New York second. People are dropping fiat currencies and fleeing to another fiat currency because that particular fiat currency is the world reserve currency because Saudi Arabia has, up to this point, only traded its oil in this particular fiat currency. Saudi Arabia’s crown prince has stated that Saudi Arabia should be willing to trade its oil in other currencies to “balance” the world’s economic powers or something to that affect. Uh oh, how long will the paper gold and silver traders be able to keep their charade up? It is becoming apparent to me that, perhaps, the gold and silver trader’s paper could be fiat at this point as well.
China has an increase in COVID outbreaks leading to shutdowns at the same time banks are beginning to fail in China. Is this coincidental or are they related? Call me cynical but I would not be the least bit surprised that a power hungry elite controlling the largest population on earth would use a virus to imprison their people as the specter of bank failures and increasing riots loom. If they had free and fair elections, I would think that they might even use a virus to rig the elections but I am not the least bit cynical.
Interesting that Canada is allowing Russia’s Siemens repaired turbine be returned to Russia. A turbine that Russia owns by the way. I guess Canada blinked because of the threat of Europe freezing this winter. I wonder how many people realize that Siemens Canada was once a Westinghouse facility, an American company, that built turbines?
NPR Tweets about Shinzo Abe’s death and called him an ultra-nationalist. This while President Obama, woops, I mean President Biden used his death as a platform to call for gun control. These people have no respect for life or death.
I learned a new term this week and it is called Dragflation and it means inflation rises while an economy declines. It seems some are predicting just this for the US and other post COVID economies around the world.
Rest in Peace Ivana Trump and my condolences to your family.
God bless America both to those who are patriots, those who are enemies and to those who fall somewhere in between.
