Brilliant (and darling) investment newsletter writer Rob Kirby and I have been having a heated debate. He says that markets clear through price. I say they clear through force. At the heart of the debate is the nature of the invisible weaponry and covert operations that are essential to economic warfare and the manipulation of everything and who controls them. Is it nation states or also private corporations and mafia?

This is a subject where it is challenging to find useful, let alone reliable information. Yet weapons like satellite weaponry, lasers, electromagnetic weaponry and weather control are driving factors in geopolitics and markets. Central banks and investors are holding questionable securities and currency around the world not because they are incompetent or stupid but because force requires it. The question is what are the specifics behind the force and the fear.

So I am going to make an effort to post more links to this information.

Sources which are to be complimented for their efforts to dig in and illuminate this critical area are World Affairs: A Journal of International Issues in New Delhi, Prof. Michel Chossudovsky’s Centre for Research on Globalization based in Montreal and Dr. Nick Begich’s Earthpulse in Anchorage. Here are two recent picks.

Please do post your recommended links in comments.
