Select a weak leader as a vessel for our interest. Surround your candidate with some cultish ideology, present them as the chosen one. Continously repeat this frame through every institution you own. Become unimpeachable by the threat of a civil war. Do whatever you want.

The very system designed to defend yourself from kingship effectively becomes the pedestal for the oligarchy.

The question is: could this have been prevented? And what will prevent the pendulum swinging back to Obamaism in 2028?

We warned scientists not to squander people’s trust. Investigate the lab leak Don’t overclaim for vaccines Don’t demand lockdowns Don’t worship models Don’t be dogmatic Encourage debate They have only themselves to blame.
The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

Why does America hate itself? Inferiority complex because they have no culture/are just all about commerce?
Trump is the only overtly anti American president in American history. Even Obama didn't dare express his blithering anti Americanism publicly like this. Their hate for America is infinite, and America elected them twice. ektrit.substack.com

Took me a full year to fully understand: Have fun driving your car by turning the speedometer needle in a clockwise direction What a f****ed up system
Europe has largely abandoned the Football Scoreboard Strategy, refocusing on supply chains. America has retained it. The European part of Euro - America is now declining slower than America. ektrit.substack.com/ youtu.be/51rJ1IFQJB0?si=k7H5…

Seems like London based shadow banking wants the straight to open cc @ektrit
Over 30 countries to hold London talks on reopening Strait of Hormuz —— Military officials from over 30 countries are set to meet in London for two days starting Wednesday to push forward efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and develop concrete operational plans, according to the British government. Britain’s Ministry of Defense said Wednesday’s meeting would build on progress achieved during last week’s discussions. "The task, today and tomorrow, is to translate the diplomatic consensus into a joint plan to safeguard freedom of navigation in the Strait and support a lasting ceasefire," said UK defense minister John Healey. "I am confident that, over the next two days, real progress can be made." Britain added that the talks aim to move military planning forward for reopening the Strait of Hormuz once conditions permit, following a sustainable ceasefire. Attendees are expected to cover issues such as military capabilities, command structures, and potential force deployment to the region.

The way the US military currently ignores the laws of networked economies - i. e. the necessity of free-flowing upstream supplies - in order to harm China tells very much about the state of the system and the cards the US have. This is savagery

I wonder if people are aware that the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 lasted six months. Yet the inflationary effects of that six month embargo were felt for the rest of the decade.

Welcome to the grand cascade
Egypt has raised domestic fuel prices by up to 30 percent, blaming “exceptional” global energy pressures caused by the Middle East war, which has disrupted oil supplies and shipping routes. The increases apply to petrol, diesel and natural gas used in vehicles.
