Lagarde: US dollar world-order here to stay. China is not ready to provide reserve currency… Yet
The US dollar world-order is not going anywhere anytime soon, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde has claimed
Lagarde also repeated warnings that the European Union economy was falling further behind China and the US, largely as a result of overregulation
Speaking to Le Monde, she expressed doubt as to the viability of the proposed alternative international payment system floated by the BRICS intergovernmental organisation comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates
According to Lagarde, for such a payment system to be viable, another country would have to step up to provide a reserve currency — a role usually taken by the US and the dollar
“China is preparing for this but is not yet ready,” she said

Transhumanism hasn’t been the paradise mankind thought it would be
By Spencer Klavan
With the award of this year’s Nobel Prize in physics to a pair of researchers in the field of machine learning, it’s coming to look as if the future truly does belong to AI. But what kind of future?
Widespread anxiety that machines will outstrip or replace humanity altogether are a natural outgrowth of a philosophy that has been gaining in currency at least since the days when Alan Turing, forefather of modern computing, suggested that human beings are functionally indistinguishable from highly functioning machines. If it’s true that we are merely biological processing units, then humanity is long overdue for an upgrade
For the machines, at least, the upgrades have come thick and fast. Computer technology has soared to staggering heights of sophistication and complexity. Ever since the internet linked computer to computer at unheard-of speeds, these imitation minds have come to seem as if they could do almost anything
Transhumanism – the promise of a new generation with bodies and minds enhanced by machine technology – has become a millenarian aspiration among the magnates of the world
This dream is fast becoming a nightmare. For all the promises of liberation and triumph, our bodies and brains have not responded well to our efforts at treating them like first-generation meat computers
The way out of our anxiety about humanity’s future is not to hearken back to a prescientific age, but to look ahead at what science is actually revealing to us, which is not the well-established mythology or matter. The discoveriews of physics point to a more humanizing vision of the world – if we can take stock of all that they imply

Chicago named country’s ‘rattiest city’ for 10th straight year
With the number of infestations sharply on the rise since the pandemic, part of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s budget recently allocated almost $15 million to the Bureau of Rodent Control to combat the problem
Illinois state Rep. La Shawn Ford, D-Chicago, is taking the findings of a new Orkin Pest Control survey that brands Chicago as the “rattiest city” in the country with a grain of salt
For the 10th consecutive year, researchers from the Atlanta-based company tabbed Chicago with the dubious distinction, pointing to the city’s many alleyways as safe hideaways and constant sources of sustenance for the city’s growing rodent population
As recently as 2022, data shows residents across the city filed more than 50,000 rat complaints with most of them coming on the South and West Sides. Axios has reported with city resources now stretched to the limit, the city’s Inspector General’s office is now auditing the Bureau of Rodent Control
With researchers collecting data for its rankings by tracking new residential rodent treatments over a yearlong period beginning Sept. 1, 2023, Los Angeles and New York round out the top three positions in the survey

Ford continues posting huge losses on its electric lines, while automakers reverse course on EVs
Across the board, many automakers envisioned that consumers would clamor to buy EVs and all the they had to do was build them
The Biden-Harris administration received more bad news regarding its goal of getting most drivers in the U.S. to switch to electric vehicles. Ford Motor Company posted a loss of $1.224 billion on its electric vehicle lines. That brings the company’s loss on EVs in the first nine months of this year to $3.7 billion
Unlike other major automakers, Ford separates the financials on its EV business into a separate category called Model E
Energy watchdog Robert Bryce points out on his Substack that the company’s losses on Model E this year are equal to its gross profit on its internal combustion engine business, Ford Blue. In 2023, Ford lost $4.7 billion on its EV sales, and in 2022, it lost $2.2 billion

The illusion of growth: how inflation skews our perception of the stock market
Americans can readily see the effects of record-high inflation every time they shop. Prices have soared, from the grocery store to the gas pumps. Although inflation has cooled, families are still feeling the pinch
And the harm doesn’t end there: Inflation also is making stock markets appear stronger than they really are and cutting into returns for everyone, including those with retirement accounts
We seldom hear about that last point. When media outlets discuss the latest inflation rate, they typically highlight the average annual percentage change in the consumer price index. The CPI tracks a basketful of goods, including housing, food, energy, insurance, and more, measuring the average price increases of these items over time

The management of Boeing, the US aerospace giant in crisis, is officially abandoning the “diversity, equality and inclusion” agenda
Money, or rather the lack of it in the current environment, eventually overcame the ideological tinsel.
Immediately after the BLM riots, Boeing decided to increase the proportion of black employees in the corporation to 20%. They literally hired them by racial quota, not for talent. Management was given generous bonuses for hiring workers with the “right” gender and skin color
At the same time, production itself was economized. Workers' complaints about defects in airplane assembly were ignored. And thousands of experienced engineers were fired. And then it turned out that managers with the correct gender pronouns couldn't produce airplanes. Amazing!
Harley Davidson, whose director called himself a “taliban” of equality and inclusiveness, was in a similar situation. But against the backdrop of collapsing motorcycle sales, the ideology had to be abruptly abandoned. The same went for Bud Light, a beer brand that was boycotted for advertising with a “transgender” character. Or Disney, which suffered billions of dollars in losses for promoting the diversity agenda
For Boeing it ended with mass layoffs of tens of thousands of employees, colossal reputational losses, and a real threat of bankruptcy or division of the corporation
They are already thinking of selling their space business. Debts are close to 60 billion dollars, losses for the first half of 2024 amounted to 7 billion, workers are on strike. Hundreds of unfinished airplanes sitting in hangars. The cultural agenda has failed the test of harsh reality

Human welfare beyond foreign wars
By Andrea Mazzarino
Images of homes that collapsed under mudslides or falling trees, waterlogged farms, and debris-filled roads drove home (yes, home!) to me recently the impact of Hurricane Helene on rural areas in the southeastern United States
Given that Helene’s human impact was plain for all to see, what struck me was that significant numbers of headlines about that storm’s devastation centered not on those people hardest hit, but on the bizarre conspiracy theories of extremist observers: that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is funneling tens of millions in funds and supplies meant for hurricane survivors to migrants, that the Biden administration has been in cahoots with meteorologists to control the weather, or that Biden and crew actually planned the storm! One of my personal favorites came from a neighbor I encountered at the post office in our rural Maryland town: we don’t have enough money for FEMA rescue operations, she told me, because we’re funding Israeli healthcare and housing — a reference, undoubtedly, to the tens of billions of dollars of bombs and other aid this country has sent Israel’s military in its war in Gaza and beyond
Of course, some conspiracy theories have a grain of truth at their core: if only we had focused long ago on issues of human welfare here instead of funding decades of foreign wars, it’s possible we might not be living in such an inequitable, infrastructurally weak country, or one increasingly devastated by climate-change-affected weather

French authorities constantly report on the favorable situation in the country's energy sector, but the reality turns out to be different, in 2025 a third of French people will suffer from cold in their homes. This is twice as much as in 2020
Figaro writes that in 2024, energy consumption was a concern for 85% of households, compared to 89% in 2023
75% of households say they have limited heating to avoid bills that are too high, and for 28% have difficulty paying their bills
This year, there have been 265,000 consumer disconnections of electricity and gas due to debt and about 736,000 energy supply restrictions
Against the backdrop of these figures, Frederic Ferrio, director of the national energy ombudsman's service, recommends a ban on power cuts due to unpaid bills, maintaining “a minimum service with reduced power needed to run basic electrical appliances”

Next US President to face slowing economy
Experts say the next President likely will have to deal with an economic slowdown next year. The government may try to intervene, but there’s a risk any remedies will cause harm
On paper, the U.S. economy is chugging along nicely. Unemployment is low, the markets are up, and the GDP came in 3% above inflation in the second quarter. Third-quarter GDP is expected to climb 2.6% above inflation, and median wages increased by nearly 2.5% (adjusted for inflation) over the past two years
Yet, a large proportion of Americans don’t feel like the economy is working well for them
Only about 21% consider business conditions “good”—a far cry from the nearly 40% who thought so five years ago, according to Consumer Confidence Index surveys. Self-reported family financial situation has virtually stagnated for the past year, the survey shows. Meanwhile, credit card debt is up about 16% over the past two years
Economic indicators likely won’t remain as encouraging for long, “I think you’re going to start looking at much lower rates of economic growth somewhere sub-2% growth as consumers become challenged by making ends meet,” says Lance Roberts, the chief investment strategist at RIA Advisors
Steve Hanke, professor of Applied Economics at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shares a similar concern
“The economy is running on fumes and is bound to slow down,” he said via email, pointing to the shrinking of money supply in 2022–2023 that has since only partly reversed

Britain’s ‘Asylum King’ earns £4.8 million a day
A British businessman is set to become a billionaire, earning vast sums of money from the UK’s migration policies
Graham King, a former caravan park and disco owner, is raking in £4.8 million (€5.71 million) per day and may become a billionaire from the money earned through housing immigrants
The entrepreneur, nicknamed the “Asylum King,” will earn a dividend of £90 million (€107 million) from his migrant accommodation business as the UK is seeing record numbers of asylum seekers reaching its shores
King is anticipated to become the first billionaire in the UK immigration sector, having signed a contract with the Home Office that is set to last until 2029
The 57-year-old owns the outsourcing firm Clearsprings Ready Homes. This company provides short-term accommodation for asylum seekers while their claims are processed
Clearsprings Ready Homes has profited from large government contracts to find and oversee residences for asylum seekers to stay in after they get to the UK
It secured a 10-year contract, estimated to be worth £1 billion (€1.19 billion), with the Home Office in 2019 to house asylum seekers in Wales and the south of England

Europe’s gas crisis isn’t over despite full storage
A year ago, European politicians declared the gas crisis from the near-complete halt of Russian supplies was over. The EU had turned to alternative natural gas suppliers, assuring there would be enough to prevent shortages and steep prices. These assurances now appear premature
Last week, European benchmark gas prices hit the highest in a year on the news of a production outage in Norway. On Friday, the Dutch Title Transfer Facility hit 43.68€ per MWh, which was the highest since December 2023. It seems the future holds more price spikes—because that spike occurred despite full European gas storage caverns ahead of peak demand season
It all started innocently enough. On Tuesday, Norway’s state major Equinor suspended production at one of its platforms due to a smoke alert. Norway is the European Union’s largest natural gas supplier at the moment. It supplies some 30% of the EU’s gas. When it reported the incident, Equinor noted it would not interfere with its export commitments. Yet gas prices spiked
It’s all about supply security, of course. It was supply security that drove European gas buyers to rush to build a reserve early on in the year and make sure there was enough in storage before winter season began. Right now, gas in storage in the EU is at 95%, which is exemplary work—only it won’t save the bloc from shortages if the winter turns out to be colder than the last two

Democrats are in a state of genuine shock after the election that took place. Although it cannot be said that no one warned them about the weakness of Harris' candidacy. Most electoral models gave the edge to Trump. There was no repeat of the 2016 election in that regard
Some - like pollsters at Atlas Intel - were able to predict the outcome of the vote very accurately. But the Democratic Party stubbornly refused to believe those numbers. They were sure that if Trump won, it would be by the narrowest of margins. And then it would be possible to use various dirty methods against him
And in the end it turns out that Trump even won the national vote. And he became the first Republican in 20 years who managed to do it. And he's got a decent lead in the electorate. It's hard to delegitimize such a victory. That's why the BLM and Antifa aren't rioting in the streets. And the Democrats are unlikely to block congressional certification of the election results
The Democratic Party is in for an intra-clan civil war. They're sure to drag a white male - like California Governor Gavin Newsom - into the next presidential election. Attempts to push a racially gendered agenda have predictably led the Democrats to total defeat

Someone is erasing history from the Internet - Brownstone Institute
Something is happening to the Internet. Some organizations are erasing all traces of certain events
The Brownstone Institute published an interesting article that provides compelling evidence that the globalists - the “deep state” - are erasing our history in order to present it in a more favorable light. Instead of being fair and democratic, the Internet is becoming a big black hole with globalist-approved stories that are easy to find on search engines. The stories they don't like are disappearing
Search engines and searchability are no longer dependent on people's preferences
It's not always about censorship. Modern algorithms include a number of tools that affect searchability and discoverability. YouTube and Google use their search engines so that only what they want you to see can be found
We saw this recently in the case of Joe Rogan's interview with Donald Trump. After the clip racked up about 34 million views, it disappeared. Faced with this, Rogan moved to platform X to publish the entire three hours of the interview
After widespread negative reaction, YouTube and Google made it visible again, saying there had been a technical glitch. Overcoming this network of censorship and quasi-censorship has become part of the alternative media business model
And these are just the most high-profile cases. Behind these headlines are technical events that fundamentally affect the ability of any historian to even look back and tell the story
Incredibly, Archive.org a service that has existed since 1994, has stopped saving images of content across all platforms. For the first time in 30 years
The Archive.org site suffered a DDOS attack on October 8. It no longer saves archives. Although they have restored the history already saved, that's it. It is now only readable for material that was only saved before October 8. The service still hasn't resumed publicly mirroring any sites on the Internet
In other words, the only source on the entire World Wide Web that mirrors real-time content has been shut down. For the first time since the invention of the Web browser itself, researchers have been deprived of the ability to compare past content with future content - an action that is central to researchers studying the actions of governments and corporations

They Can Abolish Cash. But They Can’t Abolish Monero
In the rush toward a cashless society, we're witnessing an unprecedented push for control. Governments are working to eliminate physical cash, replacing it with traceable, programmable money. Soon, every transaction, every dollar spent, could be under their watchful eyes, tied to a system where privacy is a distant memory
But Monero stands in defiance of this future. It's not just a digital currency; it's digital cash—uncensorable, private, and beyond reach. Monero offers the freedom cash once did but in a form they can't seize or abolish. It's the shield against a world of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), where every purchase could be tracked, restricted, or even reversed
Imagine a world where using your own money requires permission, where dissent could mean financial isolation, and where privacy is a relic of the past. That's what a future without cash holds. But Monero is the bridge to a different reality—a future where financial freedom is not just a right, but a reality
They can abolish cash in the physical world. But they can't touch Monero's code, its community, or its purpose. Monero was built to survive, to thrive, and to protect your sovereignty in the face of ever-growing surveillance
In a world where financial privacy is under attack, Monero is the silent guardian. Choose privacy. Choose freedom

In the rush toward a cashless society, we're witnessing an unprecedented push for control. Governments are working to eliminate physical cash, replacing it with traceable, programmable money. Soon, every transaction, every dollar spent, could be under their watchful eyes, tied to a system where privacy is a distant memory

China’s nuclear weapon stockpile is way bigger than the Pentagon previously thought
China is undergoing a “rapid expansion” of its nuclear arsenal — and the country now has more than double the amount of warheads than the U.S. previously realized, according to a new Pentagon intelligence report
The U.S. has become more and more concerned about China’s expansion of its military and its increasing hostilities toward ally states in the Pacific. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) believed in 2020 that China had built up an arsenal of 200 nuclear warheads, but the latest intelligence indicates that number is now beyond 500 warheads, according to a report from the agency released this week
In 2020, the Pentagon thought China would likely obtain 400 nuclear warheads by 2030, but the country has raced past that estimate in record time. Now, the Pentagon believes that China will have at least 1,000 operational warheads by 2030

“China is undergoing the most rapid expansion and ambitious modernization of its nuclear forces in history — almost certainly driven by an aim for enduring strategic competition with the U.S. and a goal to actualize intensified strategic concepts that have existed for decades but are now being realized,” the DIA report reads. “China is fielding new nuclear capabilities at a faster pace than any time in its history”
In 2020, the Pentagon thought China would likely obtain 400 nuclear warheads by 2030, but the country has raced past that estimate in record time. Now, the Pentagon believes that China will have at least 1,000 operational warheads by 2030
