Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S
Ever since its founding in the 18th century, the rhetoric of the decline of the United States has been prevalent in the culture. From the skepticism of Founding Fathers to the Civil War, Second World War and many post-war inter and outer challenges, the US at the moment still stands at the top of the global order. We discussed what the future might hold for the Land of the Free, how US politics influences every corner of the world, legacy of Pax Americana and similar. Enjoy!
Workers in DC stand up for their rights and take to the streets on May Day. And, for some, the issue is not Trump's first 100 Days but, rather, the American empire, built on genocide, entering its decline. We speak to political analyst Tom Porter. Plus headlines on Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi released. Hundreds of thousands rallied around the world on Wednesday April 30th in support of Burkina Faso's interim president Ibrahim Traore, who recently survived a coup attempt. And it appears that the District of Columbia cannot rely on the House of Representatives to correct what was assumed to be a mistake that has resulted in a $1.1 billion hole in the district's budget, and looming deep cuts in vital public services.

In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Margaret Kimberley—senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and a leader in Black Alliance for Peace—joins Breht to dissect the spectacle of American decline and, as usual, Kimberley offers a razor-sharp analysis of late-stage capitalism's collapse into cruelty, chaos, and confusion. Together, they explore the Democratic Party's complicity in ushering in this moment, U.S. weapons transfers to Ukraine in support of their proxy war against Russia, and the genocidal assault on Gaza as a revealing - if disturbing - lens into the true nature of the American empire. Kimberley also shares firsthand insights from delegations to Nicaragua, Venezuela, and China, illuminating how the Global South is resisting U.S. domination and reshaping global power. For those feeling the weight of worsening economic conditions, rising fascism, and political demobilization, Kimberley offers hard-won wisdom about organizing in the belly of the beast. We close with discussion about where real hope can still be found.

Show notes / PDF & Infographic / Free Audiobook / What if I told you that America is showing the exact same warning signs as every fallen empire in history? The U.S. is now 247 years old... and according to billionaire Ray Dalio's research, empires collapse after about 250 years. This isn't a conspiracy theory - it's a pattern that's repeated for centuries. In this 15-minute StoryShots audiobook summary, you'll discover why high debt, money printing, and political division aren't random problems... they're predictable stages of decline that have happened to EVERY major power before us. But here's the good news: once you understand the pattern, you can prepare. Listen to find out how... Ray Dalio's book 'Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order' explores how nations rise and fall through predictable historical cycles. By studying 500 years of global economic history, Dalio reveals a 'Big Cycle' where empires typically emerge, build strong systems, become powerful, and then decline over approximately 250 years. This pattern is characterized by specific stages, including building robust education and technology systems, becoming financially successful, achieving military strength, and eventually facing challenges like excessive debt, wealth inequality, and political division. The book identifies three primary forces driving these historical changes: the debt and money cycle, internal disorder, and external disorder. Dalio analyzes how countries like the United States and China fit into these patterns, highlighting eight key factors that determine a nation's power, including education, competitiveness, innovation, economic output, trade, military strength, financial systems, and reserve currency status. He specifically examines the United States' current position, noting warning signs of potential decline such as high government debt, wealth inequality, political polarization, and infrastructure decay. While the book presents a potentially concerning narrative about global power transitions, it also offers practical advice for individuals, investors, and policymakers. Dalio recommends developing adaptable skills, diversifying investments across countries, learning from historical patterns, and preparing for potential economic shifts. The core message is not one of inevitable doom, but of understanding historical cycles to navigate change more effectively. By studying these patterns, individuals and societies can better position themselves to thrive during significant global transformations.

Today I'm joined by Teddy Pierce, author of Dethrone Davos: Save America, to discuss the shocking waste, fraud, and abuse that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been uncovering. From reckless spending to blatant money laundering, we're breaking down how our government has been misusing our hard-earned tax dollars—and why this corruption must be stopped. Transparency and accountability aren't just buzzwords; they're essential for restoring actual integrity to our system. Tune in as we expose what's really going on behind the scenes and why this fight matters for all of us.—Buy Teddy's book, Dethrone Davos: https://www.amazon.com/Dethrone-Davos-America-Theodore-Pierce-ebook/dp/B0D5NKGGNC—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/collections/all
Eliot and Eric welcome Michael Beckley, Associate Professor of Political Science at Tufts University, non-resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and author of Unrivalled: Why America Will Remain the World's Sole Superpower, and co-author, with Hal Brands of Danger Zone. They discuss his article in the current issue of Foreign Affairs, "The Strange Triumph of a Broken America." They discuss the paradox of American power: Americans always think their country is in decline even when it is going from strength to strength economically and remains the most powerful and dynamic economy in the world. Michael recounts the many metrics that show that the American economy has vastly outstripped not only its autocratic rivals but its allies and the countries of the global south. They discuss the historical tradition of declinism in America and why it finds a ready audience. They also discuss America's great strengths --its geographical position, its relatively healthy demographics and its decentralized political institutions which have allowed the country to be a resilient source of innovation and dynamic economic growth. They also touch on how these strengths have also been, in a sense, liabilities. How they can lead to domestic political and social fragmentation as well as chronic strategic insolvency. They consider the danger of declining powers and how Russia and China fit into that framework, as well as relative versus absolute decline, what social psychology tells us about the propensity for risk taking when it comes to either holding onto what one currently has as opposed to seeking speculative gains as well as the degree of damage that the Trump Administration can do to the nation's traditional comparative advantages.

En el presente episodio hablaremos sobre el Nuevo Orden Mundial o cuanto vendría a ser la consecución de un gobierno mundial por parte de aquellos que rigen el planeta. Continuaremos redescubriendo la verdadera historia y cómo diferentes eventos, al igual que agendas, han propiciado que el poder pueda ir centralizándose cada vez en menos manos, especialmente desde la Primera Guerra Mundial hasta nuestros días. Actualmente nos encontramos inmersos en cuanto pudiéramos denominar Tercera Guerra Mundial, salvo que en esta ocasión, y al menos de momento, tan siquiera han necesitado balas. Una batalla que se está librando en las mentes de los ciudadanos, a través de la infame maquinaria que conforma la ingeniería social de aquellos que desean subyugarnos. Descubriremos igualmente antiguas sociedades secretas, tales como la Mesa Redonda, el Comité de los 300 o Skull & Bones, quienes han estado detrás de muchos de los eventos que analizaremos.

Dive into John Oliver's uproarious exploration of "The Decline of The American Empire," where he deftly combines his sharp wit with astute observations on America's current predicaments. From the staggering unemployment rates and national debt to the absurdities of American exceptionalism and television, Oliver takes us on a comedic journey through the symptoms of a superpower in decline. His take on America's "halftime speeches" and the unique, unyielding American spirit that refuses to acknowledge facts in favor of belief is both hilariously poignant and thought-provoking. Through tales of library exclamation marks in Boise, Idaho, and the jaw-dropping audacity of game shows like Wipeout and Downfall, Oliver paints a picture of a nation that's as bewildering as it is endearing. Whether it's sending men to the moon for a round of lunar golf or holding the world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as gorillas, Oliver's America is a place where the ridiculous and the sublime go hand in hand. For a comedic yet insightful look into how America grapples with its fading dominance—while wearing a gorilla suit—head over to foqnfunny.com. John Oliver's brilliant satire serves as a reminder that sometimes, laughter is the best lens for examining the complexities of national identity and global stature.

We don't always know how to express it, but many of us feel it: There's something wrong with America today. The mood is tense. More Americans say they won't have children because of climate change and other future catastrophes. But are things really as bad as they seem? Is decline something we need to accept—or is there a case for a new optimism?You won't want to miss this one.Required Reading:* Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets, by Svetlana Alexievich (Amazon).* Rethinking Sex: A Provocation, by Christine Emba (Amazon).* Friendship as Sacred Knowing: Overcoming Isolation, by Samuel Kimbriel (Amazon).* “Five Ancient Secrets to Modern Happiness”, lecture by Tamar Gendler (YouTube).

I shudder when I hear from those who believe that America or Americans have not changed much over the past number of years. Somehow there is the impression that we are the same caring, hard-working, moral, and trustworthy people we have always been. The Wall Street Journal, in conjunction with the University of Chicago, conducted a recent survey, offering the following major points of reality on our changing culture over the last 25 years. As we look forward toward an uncertain future, what is more important than the treasures we desire to accumulate on this earth? If God exists, then eternity does as well. Since our lives will eventually end, what sort of people ought [we] to be (2 Pet. 3:11a)? We should not lay up for [ourselves] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy… but treasures in Heaven… for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matt. 6:19-21).
School shootings, lack of faith in government, TikTok and more, all contributing to the American decline.

What can a banker who built one of the biggest financial empires in the world and was a major philanthropist teach us about strategic leadership? A lot, in fact. I talk to Dan Gross, the author of a biography on Edmond J. Safra called ‘A banker's life'. It's a fascinating counter to many of the practices we hear and see – for better or worse – in modern day life. Safra was incredibly ambitious, looking to build wealth, nurture his community, and build bridges across the world. We hear about his approach to:Entrepreneurship, starting at a very young age.Developing relationships across different cultures in three continents.Putting purpose at the centre of his business and life.Working out the customers he wanted to serve, and the risks he wanted to take (or not).Work-life integration.Succession planning.Safra treated his business as a family. And led a dynamic, colourful life, professionally and personally. About Dan:Dan Gross is one of the most widely-read writers on finance, economics, and business history. Over the past three decades, he has reported from more than 30 countries, covering everything from the dotcom boom and the rise of China to the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. He worked as a reporter at The New Republic and Bloomberg News, wrote the “Economic View” column in The New York Times, and served as Slate's “Moneybox” columnist. Gross is a bestselling author of eight books, including Forbes Greatest Business Stories of All Time; Generations of Corning; Dumb Money: How America's Greatest Financial Minds Bankrupted the Nation; and Better, Stronger, Faster: The Myth of American Decline and the Rise of a New Economy.His great-grandparents immigrated to the United States from Aleppo and Damascus.Resources:Profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-gross-ba46a02/‘A banker's journey' book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bankers-Journey-Edmond-Global-Financial/dp/1635767857My resources:Sign up to my Strategic Leader newsletter (http://bit.ly/36WRpri) for stimuli, ideas, guidance and tips on how to lead your team, organisation or self more effectively, delivered straight to your inbox: If you're not subscribed already do subscribe to my youtube channel (http://bit.ly/3cFGk1k) where you can watch the conversation.Take the Extraordinary Essentials test (https://bit.ly/3EhSKY5) to identify your strengths and development areas.For more details about me:★Services (https://bit.ly/373jctk) to CEOs, entrepreneurs and professionals.★About me (https://bit.ly/3LFsfiO) - my background, experience and philosophy.★Examples of my writing (https://bit.ly/3O7jkc7).★Follow me and engage with me on LinkedIn (https://bit.ly/2Z2PexP)★Follow me and engage with me on Twitter (https://bit.ly/36XavNI).My equipment:★ Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone: https://amzn.to/3AB9Xfz★ Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface : https://amzn.to/3AFeA8u★ 2M XLR Cable: https://amzn.to/3GGxkbf★ Logitech Brio Stream webcam. https://amzn.to/3EsWt6C★ Elgato Key Light: https://amzn.to/3Xhiqyh★ Elgato Light Strip: https://amzn.to/3gyZF8P★ Riverside.fm for recording podcasts. bit.ly/3AEQScl ★ Buzzsprout Podcasting Hosting gets (listing podcasts on every major podcast platform along with listening analytics. bit.ly/3EBPNTX[These are affiliate links so I receive a modest commission if you buy them.]

Some know him as “the greatest banker of his generation.” He founded four massive financial institutions on three continents. That's why financial journalist and historian Daniel Gross set out to uncover the history behind this 15-year-old prodigy that built an empire based on these timeless principles: a banker must protect his depositors and avoid excessive leverage and risk. Safra posted remarkable returns in an age of busts and bailouts while rarely suffering a credit loss. This banker's journey offers enduring lessons for those seeking to make their way in the twenty-first century. He inspired generations to make the world a better place. Topics Discussed: An Introduction to Daniel Gross (00:00:00) Warren Buffett-level returns (00:10:20) How to succeed in a world of crowded trades (00:24:25) Banking in a time of no deposit insurance or bailouts (00:21:19) How the $10 billion deal at HBSC was done and protected the people (34:56) It's business AND it's personal (00:42:22) Guest Bio: Daniel Gross is one of the most widely-read writers on finance, economics, and business history. Over the past three decades, he has reported from more than thirty countries, covering everything from the dotcom boom to the global financial crisis and the Great Recession of 2008–2009. Gross worked as a reporter at The New Republic and Bloomberg News, wrote the “Economic View” column in The New York Times, and served as Slate's “Moneybox” columnist. At Newsweek, where he was a columnist and correspondent, he authored seven cover stories. He is a bestselling author of eight books, including Forbes Greatest Business Stories of All Time; Generations of Corning; Dumb Money: How America's Greatest Financial Minds Bankrupted the Nation; and Better, Stronger, Faster: The Myth of American Decline and the Rise of a New Economy. Gross was educated at Cornell University and holds an M.A. in American history from Harvard University. His great-grandparents immigrated to the United States from Aleppo and Damascus.

As the United States faces a new era of competition with Russia and China, many analysts and observers have urged the country to respond by making more significant investments in military capabilities and strategic technologies and strengthening its overall global defense posture. But Michael Mazarr, a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation, believes that the lesson of history is that what ultimately determines success in global competition boils down to a handful of critical societal factors. As he puts in his important new study, The Societal Foundations of National Competitiveness, “the factors that ultimately govern success are societal ones, qualities that reflect the kind of country that a nation is rather than the things it builds or does.” And unfortunately, this analysis concludes that America is losing many of the attributes that accounted for its success. Michael Mazarr is a Washington-based writer and policy expert with long experience in government, academia, and the think tank world, specializing in U.S. defense and national security issues. The Societal Foundations of National Competitiveness was commissioned by the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, the Defense Department's in-house think tank, and carried out by Mazarr and a team of RAND researchers, along with the contributions of outside historians. The far-reaching survey of history's most successful nations and civilizations concludes that their critical shared attributes are: - National ambition and will. - Unified national identity. - Shared opportunity. - An active state. - Effective institutions. - A learning and adaptive society. - Competitive diversity and pluralism. The study concludes that while the U.S. retains considerable strengths in these areas, it also “displays characteristics of once-dominant powers on the far side of their peak of competitiveness.” While the report is descriptive rather than prescriptive, it suggests that America can rejuvenate its competitive dynamism if it can recover and build upon those societal qualities that made it great — but that partisan polarization and social fragmentation may prevent this from happening. Mazarr's study contains grounds for optimism but also points to the magnitude of the challenge confronting Americans who hope to reverse our national decline.

Ed & Liana talk about Marvel movies, Star Wars, American decline and Woke-ism.
SPEAKER:Dr. Timothy Lynch, Professor in American Politics and the Associate Dean in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne. In 2022, he will be the Fulbright Senior Scholar at the University of Wyoming, researching 'red state' foreign policy. Author of in the Shadow of the Cold War: American Foreign Policy from George Bush Sr. to Donald Trump.SYNOPSIS:Every day we come across numerous articles and political commentaries asserting that America is in decline. Terms like the “new world order”, referring to a world where United States is no longer the sole hegemon, have become ubiquitous. Foreign policy wonks churn out reports on how their nations should prepare for the imminent bipolar world or multipolar world.For those on the political Right, US has gone too far from its roots chasing political correctness and this has precipitated its fall. And for those on the Left, America's prestige and authority have waned due to its inability to conform to its own values of equality and justice for all, as evident from the extreme inequality and endemic racism. Either side foretells America's diminishing global stature.Prophesies of American Decline are not new. The rise of Soviet Union, collapse of Breton Woods, Japan's economic success, Sep 11, America's war on terror, the global financial crisis, and now the China challenge…. All have been at some point claimed to be the harbinger of America's end. Naturally such predictions have never come to much. United States remains the most powerful nation economically, militarily and culturally. But just because the declinists were wrong in the past, does not mean that US would reign supreme forever. The gap between the US and other powers has narrowed considerably. Is this time really different? Are we witnessing the decline of America?

With the war in Ukraine escalating, I thought it would be a good idea to bring on a guest with some expertise in international relations. So I called on Daniel Bessner, an intellectual historian, associate professor at University of Washington’s Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, and a co-host of the American Prestige podcast. Daniel is a man of the left, so we spend a lot of time here arguing, and we have a great time doing it.Note: We recorded on February 22, 2022. Between then and now, the situation in Ukraine has changed quite a bit. In order to avoid confusion, we have edited out a portion of the conversation that is no longer up-to-date.Daniel and I begin by discussing what Putin’s invasion of Ukraine might tell us about the US’s standing in the world. Daniel argues that Putin’s willingness to ignore the US’s warnings reflects the decline of America’s global hegemony. He compares the present situation to America’s geopolitical position in the wake of World War II, arguing that the US imputed unrealistic hegemonic ambitions to the Soviet Union in order to justify the Cold War. He worries that the lesson many nations will draw from Ukraine is that the best way to forestall aggression from a stronger state is to acquire nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, this strategy makes a lot of sense to me. We then take a hard turn away from war to talk about Whoopi Goldberg. Daniel and I agree that the outrage over her remarks about the Holocaust is completely overblown. But he sees in this outrage the sign of a frustrated populace with no other way to express its political will. I’m skeptical of the idea we should want a return to mass politics, though. We shouldn’t throw the fate of our institutions to the political winds. We then debate the role of private industry in administering services to the public. We agree that our public schools are in bad shape, but Daniel thinks that market logic is at the root of the problem, whereas I think the market can help offer solutions. The question of meritocracy emerges, and Daniel argues that real meritocracy is impossible within a highly unequal society. No doubt that’s a problem, but I think abandoning meritocratic principles would be a huge mistake. And finally, we get into a debate over the uses (and possible abuses) of game theory.I truly enjoyed this good-natured sparring match with Daniel, and I hope you do, too!This post is free and available to the public.

This episode takes up the topic of Utopia. What value do dreams of a better world have for understanding politics in the real world? What impact has utopian thinking had on the evolution of the political world over the past few centuries? Can imagining utopias provide a way to solve political challenges in our contemporary world? These and other questions our guest, Professor Mark Jendrysik, addresses in his marvelous new book entitled Utopia. Mark Jendrysik is Professor of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Dakota. Mark is Providence College political science alum of the class of 1986. Professor Jendrysik earned his Ph.D. in political theory at the University of North Carolina in 1996. He has been on the faculty of the University of North Dakota since 1999 and has served as department chair and won numerous awards for his research, teaching, student advising, and service to his university. He has published numerous scholarly article in political theory and several books. His latest, Utopia, was published late last year by Polity Press.

Between the catastrophic American withdrawal from Afghanistan, an endless pandemic, a broken education system, and competent leaders nowhere in sight, it can feel like America is in a constant state of meltdown. On today's episode, renowned historian Niall Ferguson answers the big questions: how did we get here? Is American decline inevitable? And if not, what can be done to renew the culture and the country? Niall is the author of nearly 20 books. His latest is: "Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe." Learn more about your ad choices.

Rania Khalek was joined by Daniel Bessner, associate professor of international studies at the University of Washington and co-host of the podcast American Prestige, to talk about US foreign policy under Biden. What's changed? What hasn't changed? Is the US empire collapsing? And what should a progressive foreign policy look like?
A new US administration is eager to reengage with both allies and competitors, reasserting the role of global leader that the United States has claimed since World War II. At the same time, former partners wary of indications of US withdrawal from the global stage no longer look to the United States for leadership and current adversaries emboldened by apparent US apathy toward their breaching of international norms are no longer cowed into restraint. Retired Lt. Gen. Michael K. Nagata and Dr. Anthony Cordesman join this episode to discuss how these conditions developed and what can be done to reverse the apparent decline.

One: K-12 Education; two: communication; three: war on financial independence; four: war on traditional family; five: making skin color the universal explanation; six: deficit spending; seven: War on Judeo-Christian faiths. Since 1964, American rankings in high school science and math have dropped from the very top to lower than 40th out of 70 nations. But our per student spending has continually climbed; how can this be? We examine two different women, each representative of the two different nations occupying North America. Why obscenity has crept into the language and is used so much more today than in 1960. How clash of culture kills communication, which in turn, undermines the economy.

Since 1964 American rankings in high school science and math have dropped from the very top to lower than 40th out of 70 nations. But our per student spending has continually climbed; how can this be? We examine two different women, each representative of the two different nations occupying North America. Why obscenity has crept into the language and is used so much more today than in 1960. How clash of culture kills communication which in turn, undermines the economy. This show is the antidote and here are the weapons https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-unit1. Enjoy. Remember that whatever storms swirl turbulently around the foundations of your life, you must focus on your 5Fs.

Richard Cooke is a brilliant writer and commentator who's written for the likes of The Chaser, The Monthly, The New York Times and The New Republic. His 2019 collection of essays Tired of Winning: A Chronicle of American Decline painted a picture of "Trump country" and the factors at play in US politics over the past four years. Richard kindly came back on the pod to reflect on the results of the 2020 presidential election: what a Biden/Harris victory means, just how bad the Trump presidency has/hasn't been, whether Bernie Would Have Won, the spectre of "wokism" (ergh), BIPARTISANSHIP and what this whole whacky episode might tell us about the state of the Australian Left.

On August 20, 2020, Asian Americans Advancing Justice's Asian Law Caucus, along with dozens of Asian American and Civil Rights organizations, filed an amicus brief opposing the US government's increasing attacks on Chinese American scientists. In this special unlocked bonus episode, Teen and Diana discuss "The China Initiative," how and why something like this gets enacted, who it hurts and who it benefits. Ethnic cleansing and fascism don't require violent mobs. Jealous colleagues, ambitious prosecutors, and an ignorant public will get the job done. But are Chinese scientists the first victims of an impending Boba Liberal pogrom, or the last line of defense against a truly failed state? In an America that is insane and eating itself, Asian Americans need to develop our own tradition of intellectualism to fight for ourselves and all Americans.

If Donald Trump’s presidency suggests America is sliding towards fascism, what can we do about it? Picking up on their last conversation, in this episode of Barely Gettin’ By Emma and Chloe look at the role of American institutions in enabling Trump. They compare this with the democratic weakness that enabled the Nazis’ rise to power in Germany in the 1930s, to unpick the myth of America’s uniquely strong, resilient democracy. If Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court can’t stop Trump, can Elizabeth Warren save America from a fascist future?Umberto Eco, ‘Ur-Fascism’, New York Review of Books, 22 June 1995 [$]https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/Jane Caplan, ‘Trump and Fascism.

Alasdair, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. Apocalyptic thinking and prepping is common among some libertarians. While complete annihilation is always a possibility given human kind's self-destructive nature, overreaction may also be a form of self destruction. Yes, we are on the verge of some major changes, not the least of which is a decline in the American Empire. We might be better served to consider more likely less drastic outcomes for the sake of optimal planning for our futures and the future of our loved ones. To help prepare, Alasdair will discuss developing geopolitical and monetary trends. Michael will provide is usual prescient market insights for stocks, bonds and gold based on his momentum and structural analysis and Chen Lin will talk about a couple of his favorite bio tech stocks he thinks have the chance for extraordinary gains.

What if modern conservatism is less a reaction to environmentalism than a mutation of it? Historian Natasha Zaretsky's latest book, Radiation Nation: Three Mile Island and the Political Transformation of the 1970s (Columbia University Press, 2018), is a fine-grained examination of the local reaction to the most serious accident in the history of U.S. nuclear energy. It is also a sweeping study of the construction of arguments for and against nuclear energy and atomic weapons from the end of the World War II to the present. Zaretsky follows that debate through a transformative six-year debate in central Pennsylvania, where conservative activists launched protests that drew heavily from the examples of environmentalism, the antiwar movement, second-wave feminism, the black freedom struggle, and black and women's health activism. Yet rather than pushing them to the left, their fight with pronuclear forces in industry and government made them more conservative. They articulated an ethnonationalist argument about a threatened nation betrayed by its leaders and illustrated it with ecological images of the damaged bodies of mothers, babies, and the unborn. This “biotic nationalism” helped conservatives paint a convincing picture of the America of the 1970s and 1980s and remains potent today, as visible in the “Crippled America” described by Donald Trump. Natasha Zaretsky is associate professor of history at Southern Illinois University. She is the author of No Direction Home: The American Family and the Fear of American Decline, 1968-1980 (UNC Press, 2007) and co-editor of Major Problems in U.S. History Since 1945 (4th ed., Cengage, 2013). Her articles have appeared in Diplomatic History, The Journal of Social History, The Journal of Women's History, The New Republic, and elsewhere. Brian Hamilton is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin—Madison where he is researching African American environmental history in the nineteenth-century Cotton South. He is also an editor of the digital environmental magazine and podcast Edge Effects.

Richard Maybury, Dr. Quinton Hennigh & Michael Oliver return. Shifts in the post WWII geopolitical tectonic plates are threatening an American dollar hegemony that has illicitly financed the expansion of the Anglo-American empire. Richard will discuss geopolitical conflicts over oil and trade that are threatening global wide conflict and potentially nuclear war. But he will also provide some ideas about how you may turn such negatives into personal positive investment decisions. Speaking of positive investment decisions, one of the best your host has personally made was to buy Dr. Hennigh's Novo Resources which has risen over 10 fold from its lows this year. So, is it time to take profits or to continue buying on weakness? Quinton will update us on this very unusual and potentially once-in-a-lifetime Australian gold discovery. As usual, Michael will provide his valuable guidance for key financial markets most significant of which is the gold market.

This decline was driven by health concerns and a growing awareness of environmental implications. Despite the decline in North America, global consumption is expected to grow by 13% between 2011 and 2016.
