Despite unprecedented economic sanctions being placed on the Russian economy, it has not collapsed and does not appear to do so in the immediate future. In this video we will discuss Russia’s dependence on energy exports to pay for their war in Ukraine. I also argue the Federal Reserve is playing an important role in economically helping to defeat Russia.

Why did Russia miscalculate so badly in its invasion of Ukraine? The answer is more than two decades in the making. Putin’s Persistent and intentional decay of Russia’s institutions made it impossible for Russia’s intelligence community and military to provide quality information to him. Facing the uncertainty—and wagering that it would take a true disaster for it have a deep effect on him personally—Putin pulled the trigger.

Jeffrey Epstein has deeper ties than we have been told to Bill Gates. They did not meet in the late 2000s but instead sometime early in the 1990s.

Gates became one of Epstein’s biggest financial backers along with Lex Wexner. So says longtime Epstein investigator Whitney Webb, interviewed here by Russell Brand.

A storm of controversy erupted earlier this year in Iran, after local media outlets announced that a “Mossad spy” and “Israeli infiltrator” had gained the trust of the country’s senior leadership, penetrated into the highest halls of power, and had even been employed as a writer for Ayatollah Khamenei himself.

Although the stories did not disclose the name of the infiltrator, it was clear that the individual in question was Catherine Perez-Shakdam. Almost immediately, Iranian media such asPress TVandThe Tehran Timesbegan silently but furiously removing all her content from their pages. Perhaps most worrying from an Iranian government perspective, Khamenei.ir, Ayatollah Khamenei’s own website, had to delete her articles and disavow her.

We overcame Jim Crow by 1965, but where was the promised land of universal brotherhood that Comrade Stanley Levison’s golem St. Dr. Rev. MLK Jr. promised us? In the 1970s, the earliest I was on the scene to remember it, there was a certain prickliness about race, but things were remarkably more laid back than in later times. By the politically correct 1990s, we were walking on eggshells.
