Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad stated that the main parameters of an agreement with Russia have already been finalized. The project envisages the supply of up to 55 billion cubic meters of Russian gas annually through Azerbaijani territory. In my view, these statements deserve far more attention than they have received. Taken separately, they appear […]

As we lose jobs and the middle class contracts, where will consumer demand come from? Through the end of June, about $3.2 trillion in AI deals have occurred this year. That’s a 45 percent jump from a year earlier, according to Dealogic, a data provider. It’s the most spent on deal-making over a half-year period […]

The very USMCA that Trump praised in 2020 is now no longer satisfactory to him. The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) replaced NAFTA in 2020. At the time, Trump hailed the new deal as a major achievement. However, in 2026, when the agreement came up for its scheduled 16-year review and possible extension, the second Trump […]

The global economy increasingly resembles the final hours of the “Titanic.” Not the moment of impact—that has already occurred—but rather the stage where the hull still holds, the lights are on, the orchestra is playing, and most passengers refuse to fully acknowledge the scale of what is happening. Markets continue to tremble, inflation erodes the […]

Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward. What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. But before I get to it, […]

Remember: Trump and his cronies in the Cabinet will always govern for their corporate donors and former clients — not for you. 1. Lines are getting longer at airports. Democrats want to fund the TSA, but Trump’s congressional Republicans refuse. They want all of the Department of Homeland Security to be funded, including ICE and […]

Part 1. A Financial Pyramid Based on Credit During crises, everyone suffers anyway, don’t banks risk themselves by being the triggers of crises? Not at all. Let’s not forget that it was the usurers who, several centuries ago, planned and successfully implemented the current global financial system. So there are specific measures to assist banks […]

Where do economic crises come from and why are they man-made? Let’s start by redefining what the capitalist mode of production is. It’s generally accepted that this is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, the exploitation of wage labor, and (most importantly) the extraction of profit. Inevitably, the question […]

The brand-new bridge may never open if Trump changes the previously issued permit. The Gordie Howe Bridge is set to connect the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of Michigan, separated by the Michigan River. This isn’t the only transportation corridor between Michigan and Ontario. In particular, there’s the Ambassador Bridge, but it […]
