Geopolitical Compass #14
Pod life. German implosion. Another bureaucrat falls on his sword. Inflation with a vengeance. Irish food destruction.
Notable events in geopolitics and capital markets this week. Expand your perspective, gain context, and discover actionable insights.
Australia
Another Covid dictator falls on his sword as Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan resigns sighting ‘he’s exhausted’ - same as horse face from New Zealand. Seems to be a lot of that going around as Covid authoritarian leaders face the prospects of future elections. Funny that.
Apparently he has no regrets; promising the people of WA they would be safe from Covid with his years-long statewide lockdown (an inevitable failure everywhere it was attempted), failure to deliver any infrastructure apart from the ongoing Metronet which is 300% over budget and years behind schedule (recent completions like Optus Stadium, Elizabeth Quay, Perth Childrens Hospital were all initiated and budgeted by the previous Liberal government), tone-deaf stupidity, massive ambulance ramping, record police resignations and a 50% increase in the social housing wait list since taking government.
All of this while trumpeting his budget surpluses and excellent economic management. But it’s ok, because he was a Western ‘democratically elected’ leader - failure doesn’t matter. As always, there is no accountability the moment a political official steps out of office. He’ll now move on to a well paid private industry post and speaking circuit to explain all his ‘successes.’
‘Democracy™’
Let’s take a quick look at three current models of demoracy in practice:
In not sufficiently compliant countries like Hungary and Turkey, the US puppet masters cobble together coalitions of almost every opposition party to the ruling leaders they don’t like, Orban and Erdogan…..and still lose the elections!
In ‘real democracies’ like the United States itself, inconvenient political figures gaining ground like Robert F Kennedy Jr or Trump continue to be banned by regime loyal social media including Facebook and Instagram to stifle their voices.
In sufficiently controlled vassal states including most countries comprising the EUSSR, your vote doesn’t count unless you vote for the right person as is currently happening in Greece. Its the ‘people’s choice’ after all. Keep voting until you get it right.
If you still manage to get it wrong, the regime change experts foreign political NGO’s move in.
Which model of ‘Democracy™’ is the right one?
Germany
I’ve been talking about the purposeful de-industrialisation of Germany since February 2022. Long ago it lost its status as a theory and is happening before our eyes, and German people are letting it. Once sovereignty is lost, total vassalage is inevitable, the only question being time frame.
Inflation
How are you preparing for the inevitable?
The number one job of a politician is to get re-elected. Therefore, regardless of which political party they belong to, they will always prioritise spending money they don’t have in order to garner the support of the majority of the population.
Absent a serious rebuke from the long-term debt markets or hyperinflation, there is no reason not to run on a “free shit” platform. Which means that, moving forward, I don’t expect to see any material change in the spending habits of the US Federal Government. As it pertains to this analysis, trillions of dollars will continue being borrowed every year to pay for goodies.
High inflation is inevitable and will come roaring back in late ‘23 and 2024. Position yourself to benefit, hard assets like gold and Bitcoin outside the fiat system will rise in value as people seek exits from watching their money be destroyed.
Pod Life
Sadly, many will eat the bugs, and many will happily live in their pods as they’re told. Good times create weak men, and before the strong men stand up, the weak ones comply.
Purposeful Destruction
Remember this in two years time when you see headlines of milk shortages and soaring prices across Ireland for cheese, butter and infant food.
Ukraine
A peace summit with only one side of the battle. Theater for morons…
