The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos. Attendees focused on the BRICS group and the Global South as Russia pursues alternative alliances. Russians express disappointment in Donald Trump's failure to deliver peace and worry about the war's slow progress. The conflict is fundamentally viewed by Russians as a struggle with NATO.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE HAMAS DEAL... BARCELONA 1899 10-9-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Genesis of Hamas, the Failure of "Land for Peace," and Theological Jihad Cliff May discussed the failure of the "land for peace" policy following Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and the violent takeover by Hamas. Hamas, representing the Muslim Brotherhood and born from theological jihad, views its mission as the destruction of Israel to establish an emirate. May emphasized that any cessation of hostilities is merely a hudna (truce), used by Hamas to rebuild for future battles, not a lasting peace. 915-930 Javier Milei's Dilemma: Midterms, the Wobbling Peso, and the Push for Dollarization Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzed Argentinian President Javier Milei's economic and political dilemma as he faces midterms with a wobbling peso leading up to the October 26th elections. The peso is suffering due to fears that the opposition Peronist coalition will block Milei's reforms. O'Grady advocated for dollarization as the solution to stabilize the currency, reduce interest rates, and impose fiscal discipline on reckless spending. Powerful financial special interests prefer the status quo of an unanchored peso. 930-945 The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US Military Posturing, Venezuela's Cartel de Los Soles, and Instability in the Americas Professor Evan Ellis analyzed President Trump's escalating military posturing and actions against drug cartels, particularly impacting the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and the Cartel de Los Soles. Senate members raised constitutional concerns over the use of military force. Ellis also examined political resistance to Argentinian President Javier Milei's austerity measures amid broader instability in the Americas, and noted positive strategic movements toward improved relationships with Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum and Brazil's Lula da Silva. 1015-1030 US Military Posturing, Venezuela's Cartel de Los Soles, and Instability in the Americas Professor Evan Ellis analyzed President Trump's escalating military posturing and actions against drug cartels, particularly impacting the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and the Cartel de Los Soles.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Marcus Tullius Cicero's Rise, Corruption Trials, and the Catiline Conspiracy Professor Josiah Osgood profiled the Roman "new man" orator Marcus Tullius Cicero and his dramatic rise through corruption trials and political intrigue. Cicero established his career by solving the murder case of Roscius and prosecuting corrupt Sicilian governor Verres for theft. His career climaxed with the suppression of the Catiline Conspiracy, elevating him as a patriot. However, Cicero made a grave political error by executing conspirators without trial, a move opposed by Julius Caesar. 1115-1130 Marcus Tullius Cicero's Rise, Corruption Trials, and the Catiline Conspiracy Professor Josiah Osgood profiled the Roman "new man" orator Marcus Tullius Cicero and his dramatic rise through corruption trials and political intrigue.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Fiscal Irresponsibility, the Cost of Debt, and the Loss of Welfare Reform Lessons Veronique De Rugy of the Mercatus Center criticized Washington's fiscal irresponsibility and the mounting cost of debt, arguing that enormous deficits create an anti-growth drag on the economy. She noted that failing to cut spending is a future tax hike. De Rugy lamented the loss of lessons from the 1996 welfare reform, which showed that work requirements reduced poverty, as politicians now prioritize spending checks over fiscal prudence.D 1215-1230 Deepseek's AI Claims, Huawei's Chip Ambitions, and US/China Tech Competition Chris Riegel analyzed the escalating tech competition between the US and China, focusing on Chinese AI firm Deepseek and noting its claims of superiority were potentially misleading due to non-transparency and reliance on Nvidia technology. He discussed Huawei's chip fabrication efforts and ambitions, concluding that US sanctions, particularly restricting ASML tools, keep China one to one and a half generations behind. The US scale advantage, exemplified by investments like Colossus, remains significant in the AI competition. 1230-1245 The Artemis Program, the New Space Race with China, and the Role of Elon Musk Mark Whittington discussed the Artemis program and the new space race with China, emphasizing that the US is driven back to the moon by competition with the People's Republic of China. The moon is viewed as a source for mining and a refueling stepping stone to Mars, with Elon Musk's SpaceX playing a central role. Co-host David Livingston questioned the engineering challenge of SpaceX's Starship and life support systems for Mars. The program's sustainability depends on phasing out the costly, expendable Space Launch System (SLS). 1245-100 AM The Artemis Program, the New Space Race with China, and the Role of Elon Musk Mark Whittington discussed the Artemis program and the new space race with China, emphasizing that the US is driven back to the moon by competition with the People's Republic of China.

In 2001, a few months after 9/11, economist Jim O'Neill was working at Goldman Sachs when he wrote a report about which countries might become big players in the world economy. That's when he came up with the name BRIC - short for Brazil, Russia, India and China. At first, nothing much happened. But in 2009, those countries took his idea and ran with it, holding their first summit. Since then, the group has grown, adding South Africa to form BRICS.There are now 11 members, and it's been making headlines again, as U.S President Donald Trump threatens tariffs. Jim O'Neill speaks to Megan Jones about coming up with the acronym almost by accident and how he didn't think he'd still be talking about it almost 25 years later. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. We start with a BBC archive interview where one woman recounts what it was like to survive the earthquake and landside in 1961 following the volcanic eruption in Tristan da Cunha. Our guest is Anne Green, a retired schoolteacher from the island of Tristan da Cunha. She describes what it was like to return to the island in 1963. Then, the rare eyewitness account from a 105-year-old who is the only Briton alive today, that was at the ceremony when Japan surrendered to China in Beijing at the end of eight years of brutal occupation. Next, the economist who in 2001 wrote a report about countries set to shape the world economy, accidentally coining the acronym BRICS. Plus, the man who won the national competition to design the Indian rupee symbol when he was just a student. Finally, the story of how VHS and Betamax battled over which video recorder would win the home entertainment market.

On October 8, 2025, United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, interrupted President Donald Trump's roundtable meeting regarding Antifa in order to hand the President a note which stated there was a very good chance that a peace deal had been struck between Israel and Hamas. Later that same day, President Trump posted on his Truth Social account that Israel and Hamas had agreed on the terms of the first phase of Trump's Peace Plan. Will the Israel-Hamas peace plan hold? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones discuss the details of phase one of the peace plan along with the challenges this plan will face in order for there to be peace in the Middle East.

It's been two years since Hamas terrorists stormed southern Israel and barbarically murdered 1,200 people, raped women and young girls, beheaded and burned infants and toddlers, and took over 250 people hostage. What has changed since that horrific day two years ago?

From the FBI's endless smoke-and-mirrors to unanswered questions about assassination attempts, leaked documents, and the Epstein files, America is drowning in corruption—and the answers keep disappearing. FBI missteps, the weaponization of government agencies, and political chaos leave citizens asking: Where is the accountability? Where is the truth? From Cash Patel's security detail drama to the firing of trainees over “political signage,” it's clear that the story is always the same—just the characters change. Today, we bring you Vince Lanci, gold and silver market oracle, finance professor, and founder of Echobay Partners. With 30 years of experience navigating commodities, global markets, and U.S. economic turbulence, Vince delivers his uncensored take on the U.S. economy, BRICS, and the future of precious metals. From de-dollarization efforts and shifting global alliances to inflation pressures and U.S. debt spiraling past $34 trillion, Vince will highlight the economic signals most investors are overlooking—and what it all means for protecting your wealth in 2025 and beyond. We'll also examine the political rot and corruption gripping America: suppressed intelligence about Ukrainian concerns over the Biden family, Jack Smith's DOJ spying on GOP senators, and Portland PD advising ANTIFA on evading federal troops. The depth of government rot is staggering—but today, we cut through the smoke and mirrors, exposing the patterns and asking the questions no one else will.
We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren't random—together they outline how the U.S. could accumulate Bitcoin through balance-sheet proxies (think corporate treasuries and miners) instead of a headline-grabbing “sell gold, buy BTC.” If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can't rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” We dig into why miners keep going bankrupt post-halvings, how AI is siphoning racks and power, what a policy path of subsidies for home nodes/miners might look like, and why that still isn't enough to keep Bitcoin credibly neutral. Enter NAT: a parallel, market-driven subsidy that pays miners without touching 21M—designed to counter deflationary hardware trends and reduce centralization pressure. We cover who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it), the “strategic reserve via companies” thesis, and how this all fits the next 100 years of dollar rails, stablecoins, and energy. If you're a miner, dev, or serious Bitcoiner who cares about durability over vibes, this one's for you. Nothing here is financial advice. Topics: First up, We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren't random Next, If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can't rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” and Finally, covering who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it) Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

Interview recorded - 30th of September, 2025On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming back Louis Gave. Louis is the Founding Partner & Chief Executive Officer of Gavekal.During our conversation we spoke about Louis' outlook for the economy, liquidity, Chinese 10% deficit, China's shifting economy, demographics, BRICS alliance and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction2:50 - Outlook on the economy?4:54 - Liquidity 7:42 - Foreign direct investment9:57 - Chinese 10% deficit12:46 - China's shifting economy19:26 - Demographics 20:46 - Shift to Russia, China & India25:41 - One message to takeaway?After receiving his bachelor's degree from Duke University and studying Mandarin at Nanjing University, Louis joined the French Army where he served as a second lieutenant in a mountain infantry battalion. After a couple of years, Louis left the army and joined Paribas where he worked as a financial analyst—first in Paris, then in Hong Kong.Louis left Paribas in 1998 to launch Gavekal with his father Charles and Anatole Kaletsky. The idea at the time was that Asia was set to become an ever more important factor in global growth, and that consequently Gavekal needed to offer its clients more information, and more ideas, relating to Asia.Louis has written seven books, the latest being Avoiding the Punch: Investing in Uncertain Times which reviews how to build a portfolio at a time of rising geostrategic strife, and when very low interest rates and stretched valuations on most assets announce constrained returns on most assets over the next decade.Louis speaks English and French. He spent many hours studying Mandarin and Spanish, which he once spoke decently. He is married with two sons and two daughters.Louis-Vincent Gave:Website - https://research.gavekal.com/Twitter - https://x.com/gave_vincentWTFinance -Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseasThumbnail image from - https://gmk.center/en/news/the-world-bank-expects-chinas-economy-to-slow-down-in-2025/

In the weeks since Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the new Global Governance Initiative (GGI) during a speech at the SCO summit in Tianjin, Beijing's propaganda apparatus has been working overtime to build support for the new plan, particularly in Africa, Latin America, and other developing regions.

En Russie, le début de semaine a été marqué par la présentation du budget 2026 devant le Parlement. Un budget largement tourné vers l'effort de guerre : un tiers des dépenses sera consacré à la défense. La période est délicate en Russie où le ministre de l'Économie a récemment reconnu que son pays était «au bord de la récession». Après 30 mois de guerre et 19 paquets de sanctions européennes, quelle est la résilience de l'économie russe ? Quelles conséquences la situation actuelle peut-elle avoir sur l'avenir du conflit en Ukraine ?

In the weeks since Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the new Global Governance Initiative (GGI) during a speech at the SCO summit in Tianjin, Beijing's propaganda apparatus has been working overtime to build support for the new plan, particularly in Africa, Latin America, and other developing regions. The GGI is the latest in a series of Chinese global initiatives that also focus on development, human rights, and security, which it's using to stake a larger claim for international leadership at a time when the U.S.-led system is collapsing.

Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante returns for an unfiltered deep dive into the realities of power, propaganda, and politics in America and beyond. From why Joe Rogan won't have him on, to the CIA's controversial role in heroin distribution during the War on Terror, this conversation pulls back the curtain on government accountability, shadow operations, and the blurred line between freedom and control. We also cover the assassination of Charlie Kirk, media manipulation, the rise of conspiracy culture, and how global players like Israel, China, and Russia influence U.S. policy. Andrew shares why he's leaving the United States for the sake of his children's future and breaks down how cancel culture, polarization, and fear are eroding real democratic freedoms. If you want to understand how empires fall from within, the mechanics of information warfare, and the uncomfortable truths behind America's foreign and domestic policies, this episode is a must-watch.

This podcast episode by Alevtina Solovyeva traces Central Asia as the enduring crossroads “between empires,” where caravan routes outlast the borders drawn over them. It opens with the Silk Roads: trade as the region's original superpower – moving goods, ideas, and identities. The narrative then tracks how Qing–Russian rivalry and the 19th century “Great Game” layered governors, railways, and taxes onto steppe and peoples, then the Soviet period engineered republics, industries, and pipelines while China watched, split, and later recalibrated. Independence for the five Central Asian states after 1991 reset the board: Russia remained the familiar security habit; China re-entered with capital and corridors, culminating in the Belt and Road. Multi-vector tendencies took hold as Turkey, Iran, Japan, Korea, the U.S., and the EU pressed in. The 2022, start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, accelerated internal and external processes concerning Central Asia as a strategic area, as well as a Russia-China partner-rivalry across energy, transport, finance, and soft power. Four platforms – SCO, EAEU, BRICS, and BRI – showcase both cooperation and competition, with BRI as the physical layer that forces choices on routes, rules, and control. Looking to 2025-2030, three stress tests loom: the terms of Power of Siberia-2, corridor races (CKU vs. Kazakh/Middle Corridor routes), and “security creep.” Central Asia has become a focal arena for international actors amid deep shifts in power balances and rules. It is a fast-moving environment with open-ended trajectories, multiple internal and external agents and situational theatres where interests intersect. Dr. Alevtina Solovyeva is the Head of the Centre for Oriental Studies and Mongolian Research Laboratory at the University of Tartu. She specializes in Asian studies, Chinese and Mongolian studies, folklore studies, historical and social anthropology, and social sciences. Learn more about your ad choices.

Politically Entertaining with Evolving Randomness (PEER) by EllusionEmpire
Send us a textJose Alberto "El Nino" Nino joins us to discuss the fundamental flaws in America's political and economic systems and why traditional partisan labels are becoming increasingly obsolete. We explore how money has corrupted our political process and turned our economy into a casino-like system that requires many losers to sustain a few winners.• America's political system has evolved into an oligarchy where running for office requires millions of dollars• The financial barrier to political participation filters out average Americans and labor interests• Our "hamster wheel economy" functions like a casino where "the house always wins"• Both political parties serve donor interests rather than voter concerns• Artificial polarization keeps Americans distracted from bipartisan consensus on military spending and corporate subsidies• U.S. foreign policy in Israel-Palestine and Ukraine primarily serves special interests rather than American needs• The rise of counter-alliances like BRICS and simultaneous confrontation with multiple powers creates conditions for potential global conflict• Looking beyond partisan labels is essential to understanding and addressing America's structural problemsCheck out Jose's podcast "El Nino Speaks" and follow him on Twitter for more of his independent political analysis that crosses traditional partisan boundaries.Follow Jose Nino at ...His substack which contains the podcasthttps://josbcf.substack.com/Twitterhttps://x.com/JoseAlNinoSupport the showFollow your host atYouTube and Rumble for video contenthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70aghttps://rumble.com/c/c-4236474Facebook to receive updateshttps://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/Twitter (yes, I refuse to call it X)https://x.com/politicallyht LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/
In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation, about the rise of peer-to-peer dynamics, the historical cycles shaping our present, and the struggles and possibilities of building resilient communities in times of crisis. The conversation moves through the evolution of the internet from Napster to Web3, the cultural shifts since 1968, Bauwens' personal experiences with communes and his 2018 cancellation, and the emerging vision of cosmolocalism and regenerative villages as alternatives to state and market decline. For more on Michel's work, you can explore his Substack at 4thgenerationcivilization.substack.com and the extensive P2P Foundation Wiki at wiki.p2pfoundation.net.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Michel Bauwens explains peer-to-peer as both computer design and social relationship, introducing trans-local association and the idea of an anthropological revolution.05:00 Discussion of Web1, Web3, encryption, anti-surveillance, cozy web, and dark forest theory, contrasting early internet openness with today's fragmentation.10:00 Bauwens shares his 2018 cancellation, deplatforming, and loss of funding after a dispute around Jordan Peterson, reflecting on identity politics and peer-to-peer pluralism.15:00 The cultural shifts since 1968, the rise of identity movements, macro-historical cycles, and the fourth turning idea of civilizational change are unpacked.20:00 Memories of 1968 activism, communes, free love, hypergamy, and the collapse of utopian experiments, showing the need for governance and rules in cooperation.25:00 From communes to neo-Reichian practices, EST seminars, and lessons of human nature, Bauwens contrasts failed free love with lasting models like kibbutzim and Bruderhof.30:00 Communes that endure rely on transcendence, religious or ideological foundations, and Bauwens points to monasteries as models for resilience in times of decline.35:00 Cycles of civilization, overuse of nature, class divisions, and the threat of social unrest frame a wider reflection on populism, Eurasian vs Western models, and culture wars.40:00 Populism in Anglo vs continental Europe, social balance, Christian democracy, and the contrast with market libertarianism in Trump and Milei.45:00 Bauwens proposes cosmolocalism, regenerative villages, and bioregional alliances supported by Web3 communities like Crypto Commons Alliance and Ethereum Localism.50:00 Historical lessons from the Roman era, monasteries, feudal alliances, and the importance of reciprocity, pragmatic alliances, and preparing for systemic collapse.55:00 Localism, post-political collaboration, Ghent urban commons, Web3 experiments like Zuzalu, and Bauwens' resources: fortcivilizationsubstack.com and wiki.p2pfoundation.net.Key InsightsMichel Bauwens frames peer-to-peer not just as a technical design but as a profound social relationship, what he calls an “anthropological revolution.” Like the invention of writing or printing, the internet created trans-local association, allowing people across the globe to coordinate outside of centralized control.The conversation highlights the cycles of history, drawing from macro-historians and the “fourth turning” model. Bauwens explains how social movements rise, institutionalize, and collapse, with today's cultural polarization echoing earlier waves such as the upheavals of 1968. He sees our era as the end of a long cycle that began after World War II.Bauwens shares his personal cancellation in 2018, when posting a video about Jordan Peterson triggered accusations and led to deplatforming, debanking, and professional exclusion. He describes this as deeply traumatic, forcing him to rethink his political identity and shift his focus to reciprocity and trust in smaller, resilient networks.The episode revisits communes and free love experiments of the 1970s, where Bauwens lived for years. He concludes that without governance, rules, and shared transcendence, these communities collapse into chaos. He contrasts them with enduring models like the Bruderhof, kibbutzim, and monasteries, which rely on structure, ideology, or religion to survive.A major theme is populism and cultural polarization, with Bauwens distinguishing between Anglo-Saxon populism rooted in market libertarianism and continental populism shaped by Christian democratic traditions. The former quickly loses support by privileging elites, while the latter often maintains social balance through family and worker policies.Bauwens outlines his vision of cosmolocalism and regenerative villages, where “what's heavy is local, what's light is global.” He argues that bioregionalism combined with Web3 technologies offers a practical way to rebuild resilient communities, coordinate globally, and address ecological and social breakdown.Finally, the episode underscores the importance of pragmatic alliances across political divides. Bauwens stresses that survival and flourishing in times of systemic collapse depend less on ideology and more on reciprocity, concrete projects, and building trust networks that can outlast declining state and market systems.
How does China want the world to work? Beijing views the current global governance system as one that skews unfairly in favor of Western powers. China seeks to reshape the dynamics in international organizations in pursuit of its own goals, mimicking the multilateral foreign policy that the United States pursued during the Cold War. However, unlike the United States, China prefers to build economic partnerships instead of military alliances – such as through BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Agreement, or the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. How does China's alternate vision for global governance differ from the United States' and will it resonate with the rest of the world? Olivia Cheung joined us in May 2025 to discuss the ways China wants to change the global governance system and how it engages with multilateral institutions. Learn more about the speaker and watch the video here. This interview is part of our Faultlines series that examines the strategic differences between the United States and China. The two nations differ in how they see economic, military, cultural, and governance issues, but was this always the case? By examining the view from both sides of the faultline we can piece together how we got here and where we're going next.
Encouraged by the United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, and Australia's official recognition of a Palestinian State on Sunday, September 21, 2025, the Palestinian Authority's ambassador to the United Nations declared, “Israel will kneel” to world pressure on Palestine. Is that true? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Pastor Rich Jones joins Dr. Matthew Dodd in studio to discuss this question along with other troubling developments concerning Turkey and the United States.

Andrew For America reflects on the Charlie Kirk assassination and asks the question, "what have we become as a nation?" Childish, emotional, sick and twisted people it seems. How can we all be such hypocrites about government censorship and free speech in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder? In this episode, Andrew talks about why it is that people believe things that aren't true, and why we double down on our incorrect, irrational bullshit all too often. Andrew also asks the question, "what makes you a good person?" Andrew plays clips from Marc Maron (crying about Jimmy Kimmel getting fired), Charlie Kirk (asking questions about Israel and October 7), Michael Rapaport (allegedly getting paid to support Israel), Tim Dillon talks about BRICs and the end of the American dollar, recent news stories from around the world not covered in the western media, Candace Owens criticizing the left/right paradigm, and more!The song selections are the songs, "Seasoned Stuntman" and "We" by the band Samuel Caldwell's Revenge.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/andrewforamericaFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org
Les trois pays de l'Alliance des États du Sahel (AES) – Burkina Faso, Mali et Niger – ont annoncé lundi leur retrait immédiat du traité de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI). Une décision radicale, justifiée par la dénonciation d'une « justice sélective » et d'un « instrument de répression néocoloniale. » « Ce retrait s'inscrit dans la stratégie souverainiste des trois pays sahéliens et leur rupture assumée avec les institutions occidentales, relève Afrik.com. Ces derniers mois, le Burkina, le Mali et le Niger se sont rapprochés de partenaires alternatifs, en particulier la Russie, dont le président Vladimir Poutine fait lui-même l'objet d'un mandat d'arrêt de la CPI, depuis le début du conflit en Ukraine. » Qui plus est, souligne encore Afrik.com, « l'annonce de ce retrait a lieu à un moment où les armées de l'AES sont accusées, par des ONG internationales, de graves violations des droits humains dans leur lutte contre les groupes terroristes affiliés à Al-Qaïda et à l'État islamique. » Dans l'ombre de Moscou L'influence de la Russie est manifeste, pointe Le Monde Afrique : « l'initiative des trois pays sahéliens a trouvé un écho sous la plume d'Oleg Nesterenko, décrit par Reporters sans frontières comme un “entrepreneur de l'influence russe à l'international“. Peu après l'annonce du retrait des trois pays de la CPI, il saluait la décision sur un site malien en ligne. “L'ère des puissances occidentales, autrefois campées en suzeraines vis-à-vis d'États africains réduits au statut de vassaux, est révolue et ne doit en aucun cas se reproduire“, écrivait-il. » « Fin avril, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, le vice-président du conseil de sécurité de Russie Dmitri Medvedev, envisageait la création d'un “organe juridique alternatif à la CPI“, qui serait établi par exemple dans le cadre des BRICS, disait-il, après avoir critiqué le mandat d'arrêt pour crimes de guerre émis en mars 2023 par la CPI contre Vladimir Poutine et cinq autres responsables russes de la guerre en Ukraine. » Une Cour pénale sahélienne des droits de l'Homme ? En attendant, poursuit Le Monde Afrique, « les trois États (de l'AES) ont annoncé la création d'une Cour pénale sahélienne des droits de l'homme pour y juger les crimes de masse, le terrorisme et le crime organisé, et la construction d'une prison de haute sécurité ». « Une Cour pénale sahélienne ! Pourquoi pas ? », s'exclame le quotidien Aujourd'hui au Burkina Faso. « L'idée fait son bonhomme de chemin. Elle pourrait d'ailleurs s'inspirer des Cours africaines de Dakar qui ont jugé Hissène Habré ou de la version des Gacaca du Rwanda ; en tout cas une justice endogène qui tiendrait compte des us et coutumes et des réalités sahéliennes. Loin des salles froides et aseptisées de la CPI, pourrait se substituer une justice rendue d'abord par les Africains sur le sol africain », martèle Aujourd'hui. En effet, pointe encore le quotidien burkinabé, « la CPI n'a jamais pu se défaire de cette image qui lui colle à la peau : celle d'une justice internationale pour juger les Africains. Jamais un Occidental n'a été devant les juges de La Haye à fortiori dans les 9 m² d'une cellule de Scheveningen. Ça fait tout de même bizarre ! », clame-t-il erronément. Désamorcer toute enquête gênante ? Reste, tempère Le Monde Afrique, que « la CPI n'enquête ni au Niger, ni au Burkina Faso, mais seulement au Mali. C'est Bamako qui l'avait saisi en juillet 2012, lors de l'occupation de Tombouctou et du nord du pays par les groupes jihadistes. Depuis, deux ex-cadres de la police du groupe Ansar Eddine ont été jugés et condamnés pour des crimes commis après la prise de Tombouctou en 2012. Et un mandat d'arrêt a été émis en 2017 contre Iyad Ag Ghali, l'émir du GSIM, l'un des plus puissants groupes jihadistes sahéliens. » « Mais les soupçons ne concernent pas seulement les groupes jihadistes, relève pour sa part Le Point Afrique : ONG et experts de l'ONU accusent aussi les forces armées burkinabè et maliennes d'exécutions sommaires de civils. Et pour WakatSéra, à Ouagadougou, cette rupture avec La Haye apparaît ainsi comme une façon de “désamorcer toute enquête gênante“ visant les armées locales. Human Rights Watch a, en effet, documenté plusieurs massacres imputés à ces forces, que la CPI aurait pu être amenée à examiner. »
In this episode of the Ask Andrew Podcast, Andrew Sleigh joins Kellen Ainey to discuss Société Générale's gold price forecast, China's hidden gold reserves, Canada's lack of bullion holdings, and how tariffs, BRICS, and hyperinflation could shape the future of global currencies. From why banks downplay gold's real value to how the U.S. dollar could face its biggest test yet, Andrew breaks down the risks and opportunities every investor should know about.
Thierry Wizman breaks down Powell's comments yesterday and discusses the broader economy. He talks about the impact of a weakening dollar on the U.S., and how other countries, including the BRICS coalition, are hoping to keep weakening it as they buy gold. He doesn't think the market has priced in enough volatility and sees opportunities for “sophisticated” investors within that sphere.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Long before Trump retook the Oval Office, policymakers were concerned that South Africa's growing ties with Russia and China could undermine Washington's strategic interests in the region. Against the backdrop of these concerns, President Cyril Ramaphosa examines South Africa's domestic priorities, its bilateral trade relations with the United States, the future of BRICS, and the country's role in Southern Africa. This conversation was hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations during the 80th United Nations General Assembly. Background Reading: This post unpacks the confrontational meeting between South African President Ramaphosa and U.S. President Trump in May 2025. Host: Richard Stengel, Political Analyst at MSNBC; Former Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of State Guest: Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa Want more comprehensive analysis of global news and events straight to your inbox?

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 9-18-25. GOOD EVENING. THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE HALLS OF PARLIAMENT. FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: UK Labour Party Faces Crisis as Starmer's Leadership Falters GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY: Sir Keir Starmer faces "extremely unusual" unpopularity despite Labour's large majority. Potential replacements include Andy Burnham and Lucy Powell. Discontent stems from poor judgment, lack of progressive vision, and resentment over Jeremy Corbyn's removal. Labour risks massive defections to Corbyn's new radical left-wing party if Starmer's leadership continues. 915-930 CONTINUED HEADLINE: UK Labour Party Faces Crisis as Starmer's Leadership Falters GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY: Sir Keir Starmer faces "extremely unusual" unpopularity despite Labour's large majority.

This partnership reduces Nvidia's reliance on TSMC and aligns with President Trump's "national champion strategy." The deal comes amid China's ban on Nvidia chips and China's struggle for technological self-sufficiency. 945-1000 HEADLINE: India-China-Russia Axis Dismissed as Propaganda Despite Modi-Xi Handshake GUEST NAME: Sadanand Dhume SUMMARY: Sadanand Dhume dismisses speculation of an India-China-Russia "Eurasian axis" following Modi-Xihandshake at SCO summit as "nonsense." Relations remain hostile due to border disputes with tens of thousands of troops deployed. China's ties with Pakistan, supplying 80% of arms and investing through CPEC, further strain India relations. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: FBI Closes Investigation Despite Massive Chinese Casino Corruption in US Territory GUEST NAME: Grant Newsham SUMMARY: Former CNMI Governor Arnold Palacios requested FBI investigation into $1.6 billion missing COVID funds and Chinese casino corruption. Imperial Pacific International (IPI) allegedly facilitated money laundering "hundreds of billions," influenced politicians including Governor Torres.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: US Industrial Policy Criticized as Ad-Hoc State Capitalism GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: Veronique de Rugy analyzes government support for Intel and Nvidia's investment as state capitalism, distinct from cronyism. She criticizes government intervention, predicting poor outcomes when businesses operate under political pressure. The Trump administration's industrial policy lacks clear philosophy, creating uncertainty that could "kill investments" through unpredictable, reversible decisions. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: King Charles III Hosts Magnificent State Dinner at Windsor Castle GUEST NAME: Conrad Black SUMMARY: King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted the President and First Lady at Windsor Castle in a "magnificently done" state dinner.

Recent Supreme Court rulings, including Loper Bright, ironically make reversal more difficult by eliminating Chevron deference. Courts will focus on statutory language and prior decisions, requiring the EPA to justify reversing decades of statements. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Trump EPA Faces Uphill Battle to Reverse Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding GUEST NAME: Jonathan Adler SUMMARY: The Trump administration's EPA attempts to reverse the 2009 "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

We discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and its potential role as a catalyst of further violence and blowback by right-wing forces who want to avenge a martyr, by left-wing groups who want to kick off years of lead, or perhaps as simply another immense yet ephemeral moment in a strange world where “our whole life is surrounded by an immense accumulation of spectacles.” Then we segue expertly to talking about a new essay on “the weaponized world economy,” which adds great detail and depth to our analysis of the geoeconomic dynamics and conflicts that drive global politics, markets, finance and technology. ••• What We Know About the Hyundai-LG Plant Immigration Raid in Georgia https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/us/politics/hyundai-plant-immigration-raid-georgia.html ••• The Weaponized World Economy https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/weaponized-world-economy-farrell-newman ••• BRICS in 2025 https://www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/brics-in-2025/ Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's new book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).
