Alex Krainer: Rise of the Oligarchy & the Risk of Civil War

"If voting would make any difference, they would not let us do it" (Mark Twain)

NO!! The leaders in place within Europe are NOT the ones we voted for! They were put in place by the ones who bought them...

Good morning all, thank you Glenn Diesen and Alex Krainer. Sharing.

For me there's no one like Alex. He's capable to reduce a wide range of aspects to a coherent, understandable and digestible whole. Many thanks for inviting him Glenn.

Once again learning that I never learned anything in school.

After living in Russia for close to one year, I observed that, if you could sum up a people with one word, it would be "subtle". And no one exceeds in that characteristic more than Vladimir Putin. His subtlety, combined with his close, patient observation, his depth of learning, as one trained in law, but also self taught in history and politics and diplomacy keep him forever in front of just about everyone, including those who want to destroy him, his achievements, and Russia herself. What gift, not only to Russia, but to the world, he has been, and continues to be.

Oligarchs want an algorithm that runs and earns them billions while they treat humans like their own personal herd of sheep to be shepherded mentally and physically to amuse themselves. Billionaires have nothing else to work for so they run experiments at their whim.

What most analysts overlook is this one: Oligarchies vs the poor rest. This remains the fundamental issue of our modern societies

These podcasts have to be shared far and wide . . . our streets in this quiet little town have come alive with strangers . . . a movement never decided or mentioned at the ballot box. Cheers.

I salute all the people who can change their minds when presented with information that contradicts their beliefs. Greetings from Croatia.
