  1. Catherine, where can we read about you and Dr. Merrill Nass discussing “a global coup” with congressmen in Washington dc this week? This is the first I’ve heard about it. Thank you so much on all our behalf.

  2. The one company that has no naked short selling is warren buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway.

  4. Catherine,

    I know I suggested to you earlier in the fruitless Ukraine war that it seemed like New Israel would be a possibility for the otherwise DOA war aims that were then apparent, with an Israeli in Zelinskyy and massive depopulation key features, but other than you in this edition of Money And Markets, I haven’t heard it said publicly. It does make odd sense, though. Palestine is quickly becoming untenable and has been overcrowded for decades. Its farmland is vastly inferior to Ukraine’s and the Israelis have a great interest in food self-sufficiency. Surrounding countries are far less hostile to Jews in Ukraine, and they’ve had a presence there historically.

    The biggest problem will be the nukes that Israel has, but since they can’t really be used, they could conceivably be kicked in to facilitate negotiations. My interest in the matter today has been peaked by an article I saw about making Florida into New Israel, the absurd suggestion of an Egyptian surgeon turned comedian. It establishes an outlying border to the topic, necessary for blue sky thinking. Florida is hardly on the trading block, but Ukraine might sound reasonable by contrast.

    I don’t know how realistic Ukraine as New Israel would actually be, but both of these recent wars make no sense given their ostensible reasons.

    1. John, This would have seemed preposterous to me only a short time ago, but now…Israel is in a complete bind, as far as I can see.
      …
      They can’t “defeat Hamas” because a people will always resist,
      …
      they can’t literally kill or expel every last Palestinian- the world conscience will not tolerate that, even in the unlikely event the military powers involved and potentially involved and their associated militias do absolutely nothing;
      …
      they can’t agree to a 2 state solution without moving or disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers;
      …
      and they can’t just transform into a one state liberal democracy in which they would be a minority.
      …
      The last two are theoretically possible but the fundamentalist Zionists are far too powerful to make that an easy solution.
      …
      Your farmland carrot though adds an interesting twist…I can’t see how it would be possible for Israelis to move to Ukraine if the appearance is that they are doing so in the spirit of defeat…a trail of tears…but they might be able to do so in the spirit of new frontiers, maybe some ancestral homeland harkening, (could Khazaria be rehabilitated?) as you say.
      …
      That, I could see happening, perhaps in conjunction with a two state solution and as a well funded option for displaced settler-occupiers.
      …
      Sort of feels like grasping at straws, and I am no expert on the history or politics of it all, but…straws make hay, so, you never know!

  6. As a Berlin native my heart was singing when John rightly stated: “That’s Berlin.” The legendary “Berlin snout” is an attitude, a fatalistic sense of humour and dialect that we carry as a badge of honour, it is made by and for times like these. I’d like to add that I take slight issue with portraying the religious identity in the Middle East as purely Muslim, a narrative pushed by Western mainstream media to polarise and to divide. The Levant in particular consists of a large Christian population and a wide variety of ethnic and religious identities. Lebanon for example is 40% Christian and 10% of all displaced Palestinians are orthodox Christians. It’s frightening to watch how migration has been weaponised globally in a calculated manner to destroy cultural and religious identity indefinitely, it is evident that we’re being set up and it’s a play for all the marbles.

    1. Yes Selvi I completely agree. Are you familiar with Albert Pike’s letter of 1871 to the illuminati that was displayed in the British Library until 1977? What was planned for the first two world wars came to pass and what is planned for WWIII seems to be playing out, whereby political zionism and Islam will mutually destroy each other. I think much of this is also prophecised in the bible, particularly in Revelations. This is a great article on the Albert Pike letter: https://open.substack.com/pub/anonfamous/p/albert-pikes-wwiii?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=z9i38

      1. Although I haven’t known of this letter in particular, I am not the least bit surprised. Outside of Western mainstream narratives, these motives and the political and historical reality are considered to be common sense, in the West they are thought to be conspiratorial and are met with ridicule.
        It’s impossible in my view to understand current political affairs in the Middle East without a deep read of the historical fabric and longterm strategies by players that have been and are operating criminally with impunity and to not fall into the trap which is being carefully prepared.
        What gives me tentative hope is that there seems to be more nuance in the discourse and a willingness to insist or consider insisting on the rule of law. It is evident however and very visible now, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the West is decaying and morally corrupt, it is painful to watch.
