“We are killing people. The United States is killing people.”
Drop Site’s @RyanGrim challenged Newsmax to explain why the U.S. gets to decide Cuba’s future, describing the horrifying impact of the U.S. blockade, which is punishing civilians and rapidly collapsing daily life across the country.
Update on the Odious Debts Petition
Today, the matter has been adjourned to 28th April 2026. The IMF is pleading immunity. However it must be clear that immunity does not justify impunity.
We remain steadfast in the fight to free our country from the stranglehold of Odious Debts. The Bretton-Woods framework may shield IMF from judicial processes unless they waive immunity, but justice cannot be silenced by technicalities.
This struggle is about dignity, sovereignty, and the right of our people to live free from illegitimate burdens. #DeniBandia #JusticeForKenya #OdiousDebts #ReKe
Game theory
Most people are playing the wrong game.
If you want to get rich, there are only 3 games that actually matter.
Everything else is a distraction
La posición del Gobierno de España ante esta coyuntura es clara y consistente. La misma que hemos mantenido en Ucrania y Gaza.
No a la quiebra de un derecho internacional que nos protege a todos, especialmente a la población civil.
No a asumir que el mundo solo puede resolver sus problemas a base de bombas.
No repitamos los errores del pasado.
NO A LA GUERRA.
Ray Dalio just released 500 years of data showing exactly how empires collapse.
His conclusion? America is in Stage 6 of 9.
The dangerous stage.
Here's what his math actually says about where we're headed:
Dalio studied every major empire collapse since 1500.
Dutch. British. American.
The pattern repeats with machine-like precision every 50-100 years.
Not because of politics or ideology.
Because of math.
The "Big Debt Cycle" has nine stages.
We're currently in Stage 6.
The dangerous one.
Here's how it works:
Stages 1-4: The Rise
Countries borrow to build infrastructure.
Debt is productive. GDP grows faster than debt service costs.
Everything feels sustainable.
This was the U.S. from 1945-2000.
Low debt-to-GDP. Strong productivity growth.
Borrowing made sense.
Stage 5: The Top
Debt service hits 15-20% of GDP.
Interest costs start crowding out productive spending.
But everyone's too comfortable to notice.
Markets boom. Wealth gaps explode.
The U.S. crossed this threshold around 2008.
Stage 6: The Crisis
This is where we are now.
Federal debt exceeds 120% of GDP.
Two choices: Let interest rates rise and crash the economy.
Or print money and create inflation.
Both destroy wealth.
Just differently.
In the 1930s, we chose deflation.
In 2008, we chose money printing.
In 2026, we're doing both at the same time.
Stages 7-9: The Reset
Either massive restructuring through negotiation.
Or war.
History shows wars resolve 90% of these cycles.
Not because humans are violent.
Because debts become mathematically impossible to service.
Dalio's data is clear:
When internal inequality peaks AND external rivals emerge, conflicts become inevitable.
The U.S. has both right now.
Wealth inequality hasn't been this high since 1929.
China's GDP grew 6-8% annually while we borrowed to maintain consumption.
Dalio's advice for Stage 6 is simple:
Sell debt. Buy gold.
Not because gold produces anything.
Because governments print money to escape debt traps.
Gold has risen 3x since 2020.
Exactly as the model predicted.
But here's what actually matters for regular investors:
You can't stop the Big Cycle.
But you can position for it.
Dalio's framework identifies five big forces that drive every transition:
1. Productivity growth
2. Debt cycles
3. Money supply
4. Wealth gaps
5. Geopolitical power shifts
When all five align in the same direction, the cycle turns.
Right now, all five are pointing toward Stage 7.
Productivity growth is slowing.
Debt service costs are rising faster than GDP.
Money supply expanded 40% since 2020.
Wealth concentration is at century highs.
China is building parallel financial infrastructure.
The math doesn't lie.
So what does positioning actually look like?
Dalio's research across 500 years shows three consistent patterns:
Pattern 1: Fiat currencies lose value during Stage 6-7 transitions
Every time. No exceptions.
Governments print to escape debt traps.
The dollar, pound, and euro all follow the same path.
This is why gold and hard assets outperform during these periods.
Pattern 2: Geographic diversification matters more than asset class diversification
When one empire declines, another rises.
Dutch to British. British to American.
The cycle doesn't end. It relocates.
Portfolios concentrated in declining empires get crushed.
Pattern 3: Volatility spikes 3-5x during Stage 6
The 1930s saw 50%+ market swings.
The 1970s stagflation created wild inflation volatility.
2008-2009 saw daily 5% moves.
Stage 6 isn't calm. It's chaos punctuated by brief stability.
Here's the data that should terrify you:
U.S. debt-to-GDP: 120% (highest since WWII)
Annual interest costs: approaching $1 trillion
China's GDP growth: 6-8% while U.S. averages 2-3%
Time between 1929 inequality peak and crash: 8 months
Time since current inequality peak: We're in it now
BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers an astonishing eulogy for the end of American dominance thanks to Donald Trump: "This bargain no longer works."
It's rare that a world leader speaks so candidly about how the world really functions. This speech will be studied in the history books...
"We knew the story of the international rules-based world order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically," Carney said during an address at the Davos World Economic Forum. "And we knew that international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the accused or the victim."
"This fiction was useful and American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes," he continued. "So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works."
"Let me be direct, we are in the midst of a rupture not a transition," said Carney. "Over the past two decades a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid the bare risks of extreme global integration."
"But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons," he said, clearly referring to Trump. "Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructures as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."
Carney's analysis offers a refreshingly honest perspective on the post-World War II order. Western nations, led by the United States, created a sophisticated network of global institutions and rules that privileged their interests, often at the expense of developing nations. It was a flawed system that nonetheless brought peace, stability, and prosperity to the nations that it was created to benefit.
"The multilateral institutions on which the middle powers have relied, the WTO, the U.N., the COP, the very architecture of collective problem solving are under threat," Carney said.
"And as a result many countries are drawing the same conclusions, that they must develop greater strategic autonomy in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains," he continued. "And this impulse is understandable, a country that can't feed itself, fuel itself, or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself."
Carney was driving at a hard truth that MAGA refuses to acknowledge. Despite what Trump thinks, European nations haven't been content to accept a kind of vassal state status simply because they're scared of the United States. They've gone along with the world that America designed because it directly benefited them in concrete ways. Now that Trump is stripping away those benefits, they're going to begin decoupling economically and strategically from the United States. Canada's massive recent trade deal with China proves that.
The problem is that Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters are too ignorant and paranoid to understand that the system they're destroying helps them. They take for granted the American dollar's status as the global reserve currency. Once these hidden pillars that hold up the world start crumbling, quality of life in the U.S. will plummet.
"But let's be clear-eyed about where this leads. A world of fortresses will be poorer, more fragile, and less sustainable and there's another truth..." Carney continued. "If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate."
"Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships. Allies will diversify to hedge against uncertainty. They'll buy insurance, increase options in order to rebuild sovereignty, sovereignty that was once grounded in rules but will increasingly be anchored in the ability to withstand pressure."
There is no putting this genie back in the bottle. Thanks to the stupidity, pettiness, and egomania of Donald Trump, America has been hurled into a dangerous new status quo. The rest of the world will never trust us in the same way again, but if we can remove him from power and vote in Democrats, we can at least set about undoing some of the damage.
The future is uncertain, but what is certain is that our country will only survive if Democrats are the ones at the wheel.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is destroying America.
One of the most important figures in women’s football, Hedvig Lindahl, recently announced that she refused an invitation from FIFA to join the FIFA Legends team for a promotional match ahead of the upcoming Women’s World Cup.
She said she did not want her image and public profile to be used to legitimize FIFA’s so called Peace Prize.
“I need FIFA to clearly condemn actions that kill footballers. For example, the financing of a genocide and the genocide itself. Hundreds of children, women and men who love football have been killed,” she said.
Hedvig Lindahl is one of the football figures who has taken a clear and public stand against the genocide in Gaza.
