49:25) Love when you provide maps. Maps show strategy. Note that the US side is along the coast which gives them more leverage.
In addition to Russia’s involvement in Africa, we also have China there. Russia and China are operating as a coalition.
Loosely defined coalition if you ask me. China looks after China.
52:30) Readers may want to review these short excerpts of a 2017 Bzrezinski interview with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Looks like Bzrezinski was planning for a time “after” Putin. Taking all these pieces together, we get insight into where we are today with Russia, Europe, The Ukraine, and the US relationships in particular.
Last but not least, here’s a 2014 dialogue with Bzrezinski & the Atlantic Council and, at (40:59) during the Q&A, Dov Zakheim poses a Defense budget question. Recall he was responsible for the missing $2 TRILLION from the Pentagon on 911.
1:08:15) They’re coming after everyone’s pets!
Pets provide emotional wellbeing.
Imagine the trauma of having to remove them from your home.
If I understand contract law correctly, there is the concept of ‘invitatio ad offerendum’ or invitation to treat. That means that when the shop-owner displays his wares he is inviting the customer to make an offer. If the customer makes an offer (which he usually does by going to the check out counter) the shop-keeper can then accept the offer and the contract has been finalized or he can refuse the offer.
In the case of the video of Piers Corbyn leaving cash at a cashless Aldi, the shop did not accept Corbyn’s offer, so a contract was not completed. Thus there was no debt so Corbyn’s claim of using cash (legal tender) for settling all debts private does not apply.
Please correct me if I am wrong on this.
Are they allowed to refuse the offer if it matches exactly the advertised price of their goods however?
Hi Catherine, and John, if you think the power of banks might be a problem, think about the plans the UK seems to have in place to turn off electricity. One consumer reports her supplier advising her that her “Alpha” is ‘J’, and assures her that under exceptional conditions her electricity may be switched off for three hours, because that will be ‘fair’.
And the UK Government blames ‘Russia’
Hunger games society.
Wondering if anyone can post a book or reference for John Titus’ comment that moving the U.S. gold overseas triggered the Great Depression? I’d never heard of that, only the official reality of a stock market crash. Thanks!
