  1. George Friedman is een Geostrategisch denker die een enorm advies-bedrijf heeft en heel veel regeringen als klant.

    Ik heb vandaag drie video's van hem bekeken en ik vind ze erg interessant. Ook al is de langste video al uit 2009 en ook al doet hij voorspellingen die niet zijn uitgekomen of vertelt hij zaken waarvan ik toevallig meen te weten dat er andere oorzaken zijn die veel meer invloed hadden ( Ik denk nu aan de neergang van Japan, die mogelijk opzettelijk is bewerkstelligd doordat de BIS plotseling grotere bankreserves als norm ging stellen, iets waar Japan toen niet aan kon voldoen).

    Toch zegt hij erg veel dingenwaar ik een 'Ah Ha ! ' beleving bij heb. Ook kan hij de one-liners zo uit zijn mouw schudden.
    Jammer dat hij sommige woorden onverstaanbaar uitspreekt.

    Ik ben vast besloten om nog meer video's van hem te bekijken, en om de video's die ik vandaag zag, nog eens te bekijken.

    Crisis & Chaos: Are We Moving Toward World War III?

    Hij ziet Japan, Turkije en Polen als belangrijke invloedrijke landen. Omdat ze op het Euro Aziatische landmass liggen, en een sterk leger hebben Japan en Turkije) of omdat ze een zeer belangrijke strategische ligging hebben ( Polen) die moet voorkomen dat Rusland's olie zich vergenigt met Duitslands industriele macht.

    The truth behind the Vietnam War | George Friedman Interview

    Hij zegt dat de VS in Vietnam moest vechten om het vertrouwen van de andere landen te behouden dat de VS hen zou beschermen tegen de Russen.
    Johnson had een veel te eenvoudige kijk op die oorlog. Nixon was een duivelskunstenaar in vergelijk met Johnson.

    1. Friedman is interessant om naar te luisteren, maar de laatste tijd lijkt hij steeds meer op een opa op zijn vertelstoel. Volgens mij gaat hij op de volgende punten de mist in:

      -Ernstige onderschatting van Rusland en China

      -Erstige overschatting van Polen, Turkije en de VS

      -Onjuist beeld van de zich vormende allianties

      -Omissie van de rol van Israel, Iran en andere partijen in het midden oosten.

      Men kijkt bij Stratfor altijd naar wie de klanten zijn die zijn info kopen, maar wat nooit genoemd worst namens welke klanten hij spreekt.

  2. Pepe Escobar: Electro Magnetic Impulse als wapen.

    In zijn 2009 interview legt George Friedman uit dat de VS nog steeds veel sterker is dan de rest van de wereld.

    Pepe zegt dat er wapens worden ontwikkeld die een kleiner land ( als Noord Korea) ook zou kunnen maken en gebruiken, en die bijvoorbeeld alle electropnisch verkeer in een land vernietigen. In een modern land als de VS zal dat leiden tot enorme burgerstrijd en honger:

    The number one concern is about “the present satellite and missile capacity of North Korea to detonate nuclear bombs over the US knocking out the entire electronic infrastructure through an ....

    ... electromagnetic impulse (EMP) attack liquidating 90% of the American population within a year.
    This concurs with public statements by Putin that tiny countries in the future can obtain the capacity to destroy superpowers.”

  3. Voor het eerst sinds lang was ik weer op de site van Rudo de Ruiter: http://www.courtfool.info/nl_home.htm

    Ik denk dat hij veel goede en interessante info over de macht van de banken in goed Nederlands weergeeft.

    Hier zijn laatste blog: http://www.courtfool.info/nl_De_bankiers_en_de_euro.htm#right-column

    Ook kwam ik op zijn site een documentaire over Europ[a tegen van de Oost Brabantse documentaire maker Peter Vlemmix:

    Lijkt me ook de moeite waard.
