The Dynamics of Nuclear Power Diplomacy: Russia and China vs the Neo-Malthusians
In 1975, an influential Stanford biologist named Paul Ehrlich (author of the misanthropic 1968 Population Bomb) stated that in his view, humanity’s acquisition of fusion energy was “like giving an idiot child a machine gun”. Ehrlich’s views were shared widely among the peculiar sect of scientists that have come to be known as neo-Malthusians. Ehrlich’s colleague John Holdren ruminated that developing fusion energy was undesirable because it would only enflame mankind’s “pave the planet and paint it green’ mentality.”

“Signature Reduction”: Inside the Military’s Secret Undercover Army
The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called “signature reduction.” The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

Biden’s Anti-Eurasian Green Delusion and America’s Race to Irrelevance
Many people couldn’t help but laugh when Biden told the Boris Johnson on March 26 that the USA and it’s NATO allies should create “an infrastructure plan to rival the Belt and Road Initiative” post haste. What would such a program look like? How would it be funded when the USA is so embarrassingly bankrupt? Who among the nations of the world would ever consider buying a ticket onto such a sinking ship?
It took a few weeks for details to finally emerge, but by the end of the April 22-23 Climate Summit hosted by Biden, John Kerry and Anthony Blinken, it has become abysmally clear what delusions possessed the poor president.
Matt Ehret: Will Canada Be a Bridge of Cooperation Or a Platform for War in the 21st Century
02 China, 06 Russia, Government
The arctic remains the world’s last frontier of human exploration. It is also a domain of great potential cooperation among great civilizations, or inversely a domain of militarism and confrontation.
In recent years, Russia and China have increasingly harmonized their foreign policies around the Framework unveiled by President Xi Jinping in 2013 dubbed the Belt and Road Initiative. Since its unveiling, this megaproject has grown in leaps and bounds winning over 136 nations, accruing $3.7 trillion of investment capital and evolving new components such as the “Digital Silk Road”, “Health Silk Road”, “Space Silk Road”, and of course the “Polar Silk Road”. In March 2021, the Polar Silk Road, first announced in 2018, was given a prominent role in the 2021-2025 Five Year Plan with a focus on Arctic shipping, resource development, scientific Arctic research and conservation.

Intelligence Sources Say Biggest Threat To U.S. Is Actually U.S. Policy
by Caitlin Johnstone
A new “threat assessment” by the US intelligence cartel has named China the number one threat to the United States today, followed by Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This has of course led to blaring news headlines like “China poses the biggest threat to the U.S., a new intelligence report says” from The New York Times, instead of something a little less propagandistic like “Here's who the CIA wants you to be afraid of in order to advance its geostrategic power agendas.”

Matt Ehret: A Journey with Jeff J. Brown Through China’s History, Political-economy and Culture
02 ChinaIn our first official Rising Tide Foundation Podcast, Cynthia Chung and I had the good fortune to interview China Rising Radio's Jeff J. Brown on all things China.
In this extensive discussion, Jeff goes through the historic voyages of Admiral Zheng He generations before Columbus which brought commerce, culture and trade to Africa, Europe and even the Americas in order to understand China's current Maritime Silk Road program and foreign policy philosophy more generally. We also discuss the rise of Mao, Sun Yat-sen's leadership inspired by the example of Christ and Abraham Lincoln and also China's incredible ability to leap beyond the limited minds of geopolitical manipulators like Kissinger or Rockefeller under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping in order to bring about the most dramatic rates of development and progress ever witnessed in human history.

J. C. Cole: American Gray Swans – March 2021 #4 Lights Out NYC!
02 China
DO NOT MISS THE #UNRIG TRUTH TOUR! https://bigbatusa.org 15 May to 6 September — EPIC!
Three Russian nuclear submarines surface within a reported 15 minute missile range of NYC and a video sent to NATO showing the Russians opening three ICBM missile hangers all in one week. Do you think the Russians are trying to send a message? Like maybe NATO should not play Russian Roulette?
As many know the American Gray Swans are predictable events that can shut down our supply chain for a long period of time that will cause an engineered famine. One of the most dangerous and concerning is the taking out of our electric grid. It is extremely vulnerable to attack. Taking out the NYC power grid would shut down Wall Street, the Financial Center, and the Credit Markets leading to a shutdown of the nation’s supply chain.
