Interesting take. I suspect we'll be forced into a second revolution, which will start slowly, and then whamo! Game over.

Yeah! Maybe! We are now so in the thick of the fog of war that it is so hard to see three feet ahead of us. Therefore specific predictions are almost useless. But for certain, we can spot trends.

I have for years wondered what could crack this Evil Nut apart. I could not, try as hard as I could, see any reforming from within. Heck! And in fact, most of us had no idea who was pushing the agenda or even what the agenda was, not until 2011 when things began to come out into the open. And then Covid? I thought that Covid would trigger the Great Unravelling. But instead, it was the instance of Sanctioning that was the Hair Trigger. Covid may have been the Great Resent of the countries of the world, especially once many of the leaders of countries began to figure it all out. But Sanctioning! That what did it ... and Walk-Away they the countries did in droves. And they aren't coming back.

Think on this please, for a moment. The US lead Alliance of Unholy States (Five Eyes plus Europe) now Sanctions over 30% of the countries of the world. Does anyone here think that sanctioning nearly one third of the world is any winning political strategy?

And so, with tokenizing key currencies with commodities and productive capacity, the broke dollar is driven to ground. Eventually, the emperor is seen for a naked bum he is ... and people, countries stop taking empty debt promises to repay what cannot ever be repaid in real terms. I think this has already happened. I think the Fed keeps two sets of books and is buying up both debt and equity (stocks) to preserve an illusion of liquidity.
