Failure Modes

 Contingency Planners,


  Economist Martin Armstrong warns Trump, Devalued Dollar Will Crash the DOW
Armstrong is going to write President Trump a letter warning him NOT to force the US dollar lower.
​  How is the war picture shaping up now that Trump, who wants to be a “peacemaker,” is in office?  Armstrong says, “You have French President Macron saying he wants to send troops into Ukraine.  Britian has just now sent 20,000 or 30,000 troops into Romania.  They want war.  They are basically on the verge of a sovereign debt crisis.  So, they have a choice.  They default and say, oh sorry, we screwed up.  Or, it’s not us, it’s Putin.  We have to go get him.  The German government fell the very next day after Trump was elected.  You see this going on all over Europe.”
​  In closing, Armstrong sees gold (and silver) going up from here.  The US is still the strongest economy by far, but Armstrong’s computer program “Socrates” sees a global recession no later than 2028.  Socrates also sees the possibility of “war as early as April or May of 2025.”  Armstrong tells President Trump, “Get out of NATO–ASAP.”​

​  Renewable energy sources require oil wells and mines to renew.   When Renewables Meet Their Limits to Growth
While the power of the sun and the wind remains practically limitless, the resources required to build the many essential — but completely non-recyclable — components of wind turbines and solar panels is not.
​  Let’s take two examples: wind turbine blades and polysilicon solar cellsTurbine blades are made of a composite material: a combination of fiber glass (made by burning natural gas) and epoxy resin (produced directly from crude oil and natural gas liquids). Likewise, polysilicon cells used in solar panels are made by smelting quartz crystals with coal, producing at least two CO2 molecules for every Silicone atom released from its original form (SiO2). Again, focus your attention not (only) on carbon emissions, but the basic fact that both resin making and silicone manufacturing requires large amounts of carbon atoms due to their unique chemical properties and broad-scale availability.​.. Were it not for coal, oil and gas, we would have to cut down entire forests to make a few solar panels and turbine blades. What’s worse, we would be poised to repeat this decade after decade as old panels and turbines fail and must be replaced.​..  On top of their carbon-intensive nature both epoxy resin and poly-crystalline silicone wafers are unrecyclable.​..
..The super-low energy density of “renewables” necessitate their dispatch in absolutely staggering quantities, with all the mining, logistics, smelting, manufacturing and building involved. Many of these activities — especially the making of steel, copper, concrete and glass — require high temperatures (well above a 1000°C), and thus necessitates the burning of high energy density fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This is why “renewables” cannot technically be built and deployed at scale by using “renewable” energy alone.​   https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/when-renewables-meet-their-limits

  ​Charles Hugh Smith ponders, Is DeepSeek a Sputnik Moment?
I'm not sure that "software will eat the world," but it could consume the stock market bubble in a single gulp.
​  The shockwaves generated by a Chinese company's release of a suite of AI tools called DeepSeek last week may well rival the Sputnik shock, as the DeepSeek AI tools appear to meet the same benchmarks as AI tools such as those issued by OpenAI and other companies, but requiring far less computing resources.
​  DeepSeek achieves its capabilities not from expensive hardware (processors) but from advances in software that can be used on smartphones. The software innovations embedded in DeepSeek have profound financial implications for the companies that manufacture the costly processors needed by conventional AI data centers--Nvidia is the dominant chipmaker in this market--and the Big Tech companies spending billions of dollars (called capex in the financial realm, short for capital expenditures) to create AI tools that they can eventually sell via the subscription model.
​  DeepSeek software evaporates 1) the need for super-energy-hungry, super-expensive processors, 2) vast quantities of electricity and 3) the market for paid subscription AI tools, as DeepSeek's software runs on standard processors and it's been released as open-source software which can be downloaded and run offline on local resources such as PCs or smartphones.​

​  And what might become of that $500 Billion "Stargate" project?   Kyle Young,  Trumps Transhumanist Technocracy
​  Among the many Executive Orders that Trump signed in his first days in office was one to ban Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC’s). While this may sound like good news, it’s nothing more than a distraction. While Trumps plan may take control of digital currencies away from the Bank for International Settlements, it does nothing to prevent digital currencies issued by other sources from being trackable and/or cancelable in the same way CBDC’s would have been. Donald Trump, RFK Jr, Howard Lutnik (appointed by Trump to be Sec. of Commerce), Musk, Theil, Ramaswamy, Ellison, numerous other politicians on both the left and the right, as well as just about every transhumanist/technocratic billionaire has endorsed digital currency. Why? Partly because its use can also be linked to an implanted digital tracking device. Even without a tracking device, the use of digital currency tells the issuer about every purchase you make, including when and where you made it. If you do or say something that the issuer of the digital currency you’re using doesn’t like, your ability to buy food, fuel, clothing or anything else can been revoked. If you didn’t get the latest vaccine that Bill Gates or Larry Ellison want you to get, your right to medical treatment could be revoked and your digital currency denied.​   https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/trumps-transhumanist-technocracy

​  Pierre Kory MD,  The History and Therapeutic Mechanisms Of Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine dioxide was discovered over 200 years ago. It's use has steadily expanded into many industries and therapeutic applications despite a near global regulatory blockade on clinical research.​..
​..NASA actually referred to chlorine dioxide as “A Universal Antidote” back in 1988 (p.118 from this Annual Report), where these statements appear:
​  The special properties of the Alcidem formulation, which has been approved by U.S. regulatory authorities, enable it to destroy mold and fungus, as well as bacteria and viruses, with minimal harm to humans, animals or plants
​  NERAC conducted a computer search of more than a dozen databases and uncovered scores of applications, among them treatment of viral, fungal and bacterial infections in animals; treatment of human skin diseases; disinfection and sterilization of medical facilities;
​  The University of Connecticut Medical School is studying the effects of the Alcide compound on human wound healing and scar tissue suppression.
​  At Israel's Hebrew University Dental School, trials are in progress on a plaque reducing mouthwash and in England researchers are meeting success in human clinical trials of treating herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases.
  I cannot over emphasize the importance of the above NASA document from 1988. In it, they admit that it treats a broad range of infections in animals, aids in wound healing (I have a lot on that later), and was having success in treating herpes and other STD’s. Never forget this when you read statements from regulatory agencies across the world where they repeatedly warn that it is a “toxic bleach,” “bleach like substance,” and is “dangerous for ingestion.” Absurd...
..Kalker argues in his mechanisms of action post here (where I paraphrase for brevity):​  "chlorine dioxide transports oxygen to all parts of the body where water is present. The bound oxygen dissociates in the presence of excess protons in areas of disease (like spike protein). The released oxygen optimizes the saturation of hemoglobin in the red blood cell and thus improves oxygen delivery to the most acidic cells and their compromised mitochondria first, while the chlorine ion (not chloride) eliminates pathogens or acidic toxins and restores pH balance. This improvement in cellular oxygenation is thought to be yet another positive therapeutic mechanism for reversing disease​".​..
..The therapeutic uses for chlorine dioxide are endless. And therein lies the problem. Stay tuned for my upcoming post which compiles the studies and trials in a diverse set of human diseases.​   https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/the-history-and-therapeutic-mechanisms

Oligarch's Banquet

 Serving Staff,


​  Putin Ready To Meet 'Smart, Pragmatic' Trump To 'Talk Calmly' On Oil, Energy, Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reiterated Friday that he's ready to meet with US President Donald Trump in order to hopefully find "common ground" on strategic security and economic issues, particularly related to the Ukraine war.
​  "It will likely be better for us to meet, and based on today’s realities, speak calmly about areas that are of interest for both the US and Russia," Putin said in televised comments. "We are ready, but this depends above all on the decision and choice of the current US administration."
​  The Russian leader further acknowledged that Trump is a "pragmatic" and "smart" leader...
"I’ve always had a businesslike, pragmatic and even trusting relationship with the current president," Putin said in the state broadcast.
​  And most interestingly, he continued: "And I can’t help but agree that if his victory hadn’t been stolen in 2020, the crisis in Ukraine might not have emerged in 2022."

​  Gilbert Doctorow,  Miscellaneous latest developments on the coming Trump-Putin summit
​..One of those other notes was Putin’s dismissal of the threat of more American sanctions if Russia should not conclude a truce now with Ukraine. After all, he said, Trump is a smart and pragmatic man, and additional sanctions on Russia could only harm the economy of the United States.
​  More importantly, when agreeing that it is highly desirable for American and Russian leaders to meet and consult and when remarking that the absence of such contacts was due to the policy of the previous American administration and not his responsibility, Putin went on to state clearly what Russia expects to discuss at a summit with Trump.
​  Yesterday’s issue of The Moscow Times has chosen a quote from the interviews that is overlooked by most major U.S. or UK based newspapers:
“It’s certainly better that we meet and, based on current realities, discuss calmly all areas of interest to both the U.S. and Russia…”
​  “Based on current realities”:  this means based on appreciation of the real state of the war on the ground in Ukraine, where the Russians have the upper hand and are daily pushing back the Ukrainian forces and freeing the Donbas in fulfillment of the objectives of the Special Military Operation. This is full rejection of the underlying assumption of Trump’s negotiating position that the war is a stalemate that is costing the lives of soldiers on both sides to no purpose.
​  “Calmly discuss all areas of interest”: this means that the war in Ukraine is only one subject which the Russians intend to discuss with Trump. The other subjects are the structure of international security, stability, the arms race.​..
..For the moment, let us concede that at the meeting with Putin Trump may get the truce that he has demanded going back to his pre-election campaign rallies.  However, that truce will surely be conditional on the Ukrainians retreating and freeing the still unconquered territories of the Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhie and Kherson oblasts that Putin set down as his precondition to truce and start of peace negotiations back in June 2024. It will be interesting to see how Trump sells this outcome to the American and European publics.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/01/25/miscellaneous-latest-developments-on-the-coming-trump-putin-summit/

​  Thanks FS. ("Capital" must grow)  Unravelling the Mystery of War,  Israel Shamir
​  Too many elements of the Ukrainian war do not make sense. Why Russia makes its movement west so slowly? Why there are no fast and decisive strikes, other for them or against them? What are the true plans of the US and UK? Does the US want to undermine Russia? I met with the Sweden-based Professor Z [RZ] a man of vast learning and deep understanding to ask him these questions. Professor Z thinks that the Ukrainian war makes sense only if we presume that is the war of the US against Europe for the US dollar. The US beats Russia on its head with Ukraine and bleeds EU. The UK tries to bleed both the US and EU. Why do they do it? What is their purpose?
​  Prof RZ: The most important issue is the fate of the American dollar. Specifically, it’s about its supremacy in the economic world.
That supremacy alone generates an income of up to a trillion dollars a year for the US. And it’s not just about the money. The US military might is tightly related to dollar supreme position. The trillion dollars of seigniorage the US extracts from the world is largely spent on maintaining the US military complex.
​  There’s no way the USA would let the dollar slip to the second or third position among world currencies. If this happens, most of the dollars stored abroad (and there are more than 7 trillion of them) will rush back to USA shores like a tsunami. Inflation would skyrocket, and the standard of living would drop like a stone. The resulting political storm could easily tear the country apart. So, the US would rather see the world go down than tolerate the dollar’s demise. This is especially true under the Trump administration.
​  Now the question is – who threatens the dollar? The usual answer is China, as it’s the only country with a large enough economy to surpass the American one. This is true, but in international trade, the Chinese yuan is only in fourth position with less than 5% of all payments. As a share of global foreign exchange reserves, yuan accounts for only 2%, while the US dollar accounts for 58%, almost 30 times more! That makes yuan a potential, but not immediate, threat to the dollar. However, in Chinese cross-border trade, yuan has recently surpassed the dollar in terms of trade volume. So the Chinese threat to the dollar is indeed growing.
​  But the euro accounts for 20% of world foreign currency reserves. This one-fifth of all reserves could instead be dollar-denominated. Thus, the euro “stole” one quarter of the dollar’s position, ten times more than yuan. This is important because world currency reserves grow as fast or faster as the world’s economy, demanding more reserve currency every year. Issuing this currency and sending it abroad for storage as investment or in exchange for foreign-produced commodities is essentially… well, a money printing operation. Nothing can be as profitable as that. Therefore, the euro is currently the biggest threat to the dollar. And thus, objectively, the EU is the US’s main enemy...
..RZ: Both provide access to the Arctic shelf, but of course Greenland offers much more of it. The Arctic possesses the only remaining untapped deposits of oil and gas, which are still irreplaceable as energy sources. Despite all the green energy talks and uncounted billions thrown into building solar and wind power, global production and consumption of fossil fuels continue to grow. With Trump coming to power, this consumption can only accelerate. Right-wing parties in Europe are also sceptical of the Green Deal. AfD in Germany promises to take down all the ugly windmills—and they are all ugly. But the oil peak is real; the most productive oil fields are near exhaustion. The largest conventional oil field in the world, Ghawar in Saudi Arabia, is in decline. That means—if you want more energy, drill, baby, drill. But where to drill? The Arctic is the only hope remaining for finding large-scale deposits.
​  IS: So you think Trump is serious about the annexation of Greenland?
​  RZ: And Canada, too. Dead serious. When this is done, the US will have more than half of the Arctic shelf, closely followed by Russia. These two countries will have more than 90% of the total,
 with the much smaller remaining part being largely Norwegian. However, the caveat is that without explicit or implicit Russian approval, the US couldn’t think of annexing either of these two countries. This is because such a move is clearly not in the interest of China. China is very powerful militarily, but it is too far away from the area and, without Russia, it won’t be able to interfere.
​  So the deal is, as long as we can see today, that Russia takes Ukraine and casts its shadow over all of Europe, especially its Eastern and Central parts, while the US grabs Canada and Greenland and once again rules over both American continents. The Monroe and Brezhnev doctrines are being reborn—with a vengeance.
​  IS: Why is this happening now? Is it only a shortage of energy?
​  RZ: Not only. The general problem of the world’s economy is the overproduction of capital.
 There are simply no large economic areas left where one could invest profitably after deducting expenses, risks, and inflation. Too many nations have become capitalist, with their populations earning more than they consume. The difference—capital eager to be invested—grows every day. The planet is already nearly fully globalized, and no significant profit can be expected from further globalization.
​  This is not the first time such a situation has emerged, and history provides several ways out for a dominant economy: a global war, hyperinflation, and territorial expansion. To be an effective solution, a global war like WWII would need to destroy a serious fraction of global capital—say 20% to 30%. Regional conflicts, such as between Ukraine and Russia, are too small for such a purpose. Only burning out half of Europe—say, from Moscow to Berlin or Paris—would suffice. But such a war today would very quickly become nuclear and spiral out of control.
​  The same applies to hyperinflation; even though it effectively destroys capital, it also harms the ruling class, opening the way for revolutions with unclear consequences—such as in 1930s Germany. We also see how the COVID pandemic, whether natural or artificial, has led to an inflation spike that ultimately resulted in elite change—not least in the USA.
​  IS: So what remains is territorial expansion?
RZ: Exactly. The only problem is that annexing both Canada and Greenland may not be enough for the US to pull itself out of the death economic spiral.

John Helmer has specifics:  THE OLIGARCHS’ PICNIC – WHAT’S ON THE MENU WHEN TRUMP’S OLIGARCHS NEGOTIATE WITH PUTIN’S OLIGARCHS
​  There’s not much difference, politically speaking, between the teddy bears of the old song, the oligarchs who believe they have just put Donald Trump in power, and the oligarchs who believe they have been keeping Vladimir Putin in power since 1999They all want the same “treat today, marvellous things to eat, and wonderful games to play”.
​  In a word, money in billion-dollar tranches.  And because they believe this, they have told Trump and Putin that once they get to the picnic they have planned on the Ukraine battlefield, they are bound to be able to agree on what they want to do together.
​  Of course, it will be in secret “beneath the trees where nobody sees”.
​  Between 1911 and 1915, during World War I, Robert Michels, an Italian sociologist, explained how commonplace this was.  He not only described the inevitability that oligarchs would come to dominate the governments and opposition organisations on both sides of that war; this he called the “iron law of oligarchy”.    He also reported that the war itself would accelerate the process by which this oligarch domination on both sides would dictate the outcome to suit the​ common interests of them both.​..

The oligarch assembly at the Trump inauguration, January 20, 2025.

​  Today we are at roughly the same point, but oligarchs think in commercial terms, not social or ethical ones. For the oligarchs, the point on both sides is that the sanctions war over the past three years has created the largest gap between true asset value and trade value which exists in the global market today – this is the gap between the pre-war bankable value of Russian commodities, resources, and corporate assets and their discounted price under sanctions. To the oligarchs on both sides, the point is how to make money out of closing this gap through the end-of-war negotiations.
​  A handful of Russian sources who are close enough to the Russian oligarchs was asked to predict what the end-of-war terms are likely to be that the Russian and American oligarchs will press their presidents to agree to.  Here are the terms they are predicting​:
Oil and Gas...
Boeing Aircraft...
Real Estate...
Re-dollarization...
Free-Skies, Overflights of Russia...
The Dubai Hub, the Cyprus shutdown...
​..How will the bears pay for their picnic?
​  With memecoins and cryptocurrencies, a Moscow source adds. “I believe Trump will be very nice to the Emiratis, and to the Saudis as well. The likes of Justin Sun – he’s the brain and operator behind Donald and Melania Trump’s cryptocurrency schemes — and of Pavel Durov of Telegram   protect the core of their businesses in UAE, and those are businesses Trump and his family are already profiting from.  It’s where they may eventually accumulate their wealth. The Trump oligarchs and the Putin oligarchs, too.​

During the Fox interview, Trump recalled his attempt to reach an arms deal with North Korea's allies Russia and China at the end of his first term.
​  The 2019 effort would have set new limits for unregulated Russian nuclear weapons and to persuade China to join an arms control pact, according to reports from the time.​  "I was very close to having a deal. I would have made a deal with (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin on that, denuclearization... But we had a bad election that interrupted us," he said, referring to his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
​  Trump's nominee to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, recently labelled North Korea as a "nuclear power" in a statement submitted to a Senate panel, according to reports.
​  Seoul's defense ministry said in response that Pyongyang's status as a nuclear power "cannot be recognized" and that it will work with Washington to denuclearize.​

  ​Caitlin again:  Trump Reveals Plan For The Ethnic Cleansing Of Gaza
Well that didn’t take long. President Trump has said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and relocate its population to US client states Egypt and Jordan, which would of course be a textbook case of ethnic cleansing. It would also align perfectly with longstanding Israeli agendas to remove Palestinians from their homeland so that their territory can be seized and settled by Jews.
​  Speaking with the press on board Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said he talked to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about taking in large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza, and said he plans to speak with Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi about doing the same.
​  “I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters, saying the Gaza Strip is “a real mess” and “literally a demolition site”.
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” Trump said​...​  
..Trump’s comments help illuminate what he meant when he gushed about all the wonderful things that could be done with Gaza when speaking to the press the other day.​  “Gaza’s interesting, it’s a phenomenal location,” he said on Monday. “On the sea, the best weather.
