The unclassified intelligence budget of the United States last year was around $90 billion, and it has been increasing significantly since the Biden Administration began (up roughly $10 billion). Add to this the so-called Black Budget, which is the classified allotment specifically for covert operations and the like; and we are talking about the US spending approximately $150 billion on covert activities, destabilisation projects, and secret military operations, every year. There is also, of course, the National Endowment for Democracy, with a declared budget of around $300 million dedicated to funding NGOs and civil society organisations overseas to further American objectives.
I believe that America is engaging in a level of covert ops unheard of since the Cold War. We are seeing this manifest in Peru, in Georgia, in Poland, in Serbia, in Moldova, in Germany, and in various ways across Europe; as well as in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and other countries in Latin America. There is also no question that a considerable portion of that budget is being spent inside America itself.
As I have said many times before, this is not necessarily to be understood as the US itself undertaking these subversive and disruptive actions for their own benefit; but rather, this constitutes the anational owners and controllers of global financialised capital utlilising American state resources to advance the objectives of their own peculiar class interests.

I have been saying for years that Woke ideology is not Leftist; it constitutes the complete disintegration of traditional Leftist politics, and represents a triumph for right wing, Neoliberal ideology. The Left in the West basically sold out — see Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, for example — and became fully aligned with the corporate sector and super-wealthy. To camouflage this fact, they kept up the same moralistic rhetoric about standing for the downtrodden by re-branding that fight as identity politics which completely obscure class issues.

Germany could face an electricity shortage in the next two years as its own energy resources become increasingly insufficient and demand rises, Welt am Sonntag reported on Sunday, citing a local McKinsey study.
According to the findings, by 2025 the country will lack some four gigawatts of power capacity, while by 2030 the deficit will increase to 30 gigawatts, the company said.
“So we’re heading toward a significant shortage: 30GW corresponds to the capacity of about 30 large thermal power plants,” the study warned. Analysts claim the country will not be able to cover its energy needs with its own resources at peak loads, and by 2030 up to 100 power outages may occur, with the longest phase lasting about 21 hours. The analysts also warned that Berlin will not be able to give up gas in the next ten years.

If every corporate or industrial sector had its own flag — and maybe they should — the flag of the Pharmaceutical industry would be the rainbow flag. Think of them whenever you see it.

China's wealthy are declining to open Swiss bank accounts, while others are liquidating those they already have, since Switzerland gave up its neutral status regarding the Ukraine war. This capitulation has made them wary that their money would be safe from sanctions were the US to orchestrate a similar campaign against China as they have coordinated against Russia.
I would predict from this that the Dubai real estate market is going to explode. Russians have already been moving their money into property investments in the UAE in record numbers since the onset of the war; and now Chinese elites are likely to follow suit.

Muhyiddin arrested by MACC
The former prime minister is the latest Bersatu leader to be arrested in connection with the Jana Wibawa programme.
Post from 2015, my old Facebook account:
The beginning of revolution against the power structure is the renunciation of everything they can take from you.
You begin to disarm power by eliminating your own vulnerabilities.
They know that it is impossible to defeat those who do not fear death, so they try to instill that fear in you by making you love the Dunya. They try to attach your heart to this life, and increase your craving for it.
"...يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ ۖ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا ..."
"...he holds out promises to them, and fills them with vain desires: yet whatever Satan promises them is but meant to delude the mind..."
Renounce wants and desires.
Without the renunciation of wants and desires, you will always be vulnerable to the domination of those who can gratify them.

I posted near the onset of the Ukraine war, but just want to reiterate it here; for the record, as it were; that Poland appears to be the designated hub for covert operations in a way similar to Honduras during the Dirty Wars in Central America. This will eventually emerge in the documentary record.
Poland is no doubt being promised that they will ascend as the new industrial and manufacturing heart of Europe as Germany crumbles.

The original post:
I have hypothesized that the US in interested in sowing conflict in Europe, sabotaging Europe, to basically smash it up and fully dominate it...well, where else have they done that towards an entire region?
First place: Central America.
How did they do it? The US Ambassador to Honduras was put in charge of recruiting and organising paramilitaries and death squads to activate across the region.
So, I thought Poland could be the Honduras of this current iteration of that policy — that is where the US mobilized refugees to be accepted, which generally means where militants can also be recruited. So, I checked who is the US ambassador to Poland, and it is the son of one of the most notorious policy advisers in modern US history, responsible for America's support for mujahideen in Afghanistan: Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Watch this clip, up until around the 1:11 mark, and you can see Brzezinski's views on Europe, which, it is a fair guess, represent the views of the Washington consensus.
take away: A united Europe is unsustainable without threat and fear...that has always been Russia...Russia is in its twilight, dissolution of Europe is an inevitability; what is happening is an acceleration of that process. Sure, you can argue that the goal is to reinvigorate European unity by standing together against Russia...but that can only be a short term scenario...no...end game is Europe crumbling

It is helpful to follow what is happening in Georgia right now. This is why I keep talking about it. We are able to watch in real time — and thus it is useful to note it — the covert destabilisation / slash regime change / orchestrated revolution mechanics of Western intelligence as they happen. Notice the appearance of Ukrainian flags alongside Georgian flags, and particularly the Georgian flags with Ukrainian flag colours, which have suddenly become available to protesters. Note the immediate and boisterous Western media response to the protests, and contrast this with the utter lack of coverage of other major protests throughout Europe against the war, against sanctions, against Nato; as well as the massive protests in Greece and France against government neglect in the former case, and against government raising the retirement age in the latter. These protests do not warrant media attention, whereas protests in Tiblisi against what is really a rather mundane bill warrant heightened media coverage and swift recriminations from the US government. Because these protests are sponsored. These protests are orchestrated. The objective of these protests is to serve American interests.

Remember what I said about Poland?
Polish special services are involved in the terrorist attack in Machulishchi — KGB of Belarus.
It is reported that after the first attempt to sneak into Belarus directly failed, Polish "logisticians" came up with a new route for Shvets: Warsaw—Riga—Pskov.
"These people are involved in the channels of delivery to the territory of the Republic of Belarus of means of destruction, drones, ensuring the entry of the terrorist to the territory of Belarus and his training, as well as the implementation of the routes of his evacuation."
Belarusian security forces have information that there is an active recruitment of saboteurs among the Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

In a very long video, I think my longest, before the general election in Malaysia; I reviewed the manifestos of each of the parties and concluded that the plan of Perikatan Nasional was the most focused on securing and preserving Malaysia's economic and political sovereignty. The Pakatan Harapan manifesto seemed to be lifted directly from the World Economic Forum's playbook, and PH has been a steady recipient of funding from the National Endowment for Democracy since its inception.
The fact that Muhyiddin Yassin — the head of Perikatan Nasional — is being prosecuted now under the PH-BN government, and PN's ability to campaign in the upcoming state elections; just confirms my original evaluation: PN is being targeted because PN is serious about preserving Malaysia's sovereignty.

Misleading media coverage of Muhyiddin case further indicates political orchestration
I understand that many of you may not know why I am talking about the Muhyiddin case so much. It may seem very provincial and unrelated to most of our lives. But, as I have talked about, the Asia Pacific region is increasingly important to the owners and controllers of global capital; control of the emerging economies here — like Malaysia and Indonesia — is pivotal to them.
Muhyiddin's party, Perikatan Nasional, in my estimation, is the most concerned with Malaysia's sovereignty, independence, and preserving the Muslim character of the country. Anwar Ibrahim's coalition, Pakatan Harapan, is liberal, Westernised, US-funded, and associated with both the IMF and the World Economic Forum. The NED was deeply involved in supporting their rise to power. Despite all of their efforts, young voters, and the majority of Malays, ie. Muslims, supported Perikatan Nasional in the last election, and would likely support them in the upcoming state elections. An orchestrated campaign to undermine PN appears to be underway, and this constitutes a campaign against what PN stands for, and what the majority of Muslims in Malaysia support. The prosecution of Muhyiddin matters, and it is not hyperbolic to say that the outcome of this issue will have far-reaching and long-term impact on the future independence and sovereignty of Malaysia.
