Enter the SCO - the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the new global alliance centered around the Heartland. They just finished a major conference in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. They claim 50% of the world’s population and 25% of its wealth. The linchpins are China, Russia and India plus around 5 other states, but they expect that number to grow considerably. They advertise themselves as a “non-aligned” organization and very clearly seem to be the current counterweight to the western Globalists. Their immediate goals seem to be defeating US dollar global hegemony and the destruction of the global fossil fuel industry. This is one to keep an eye on and include in your research and analyses going forward. This is geopolitics.
April 01, 2022. THE day that should live in infamy.
That is the day the installed, fraudulent "president" authorized the sanctions against Russia, then bullied the remainder of the Western nations into following same.
This action and the should-have-been-OBVIOUS results will be looked at by future Historians as the driving force behind the complete and utter collapse of the fiat-based, Western economies - and more importantly, the lethal nail in the coffin that ended the US Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em friends. The clock is winding down rapidly on our great Country maintaining First World status...
“America has never had to worry about getting invaded by Mongol hordes”.
FOFL. Not until Obummer got selected and opened the borders. Now in his third term there is no border, and therefore, in real terms there is no longer a sovereign entity called the United States of America. In nominal terms it still exists. In real terms it has been invaded and captured, by illegals, by drugs traffickers, by human traffickers and by terrorists. Who have, of course, joined together with the tyrannical, authoritarian Marxists who have been churned out by govt schools and CCP/PLA controlled ‘institutions of higher learning’ over the past 50 years and have infiltrated and captured government and corporations, from school boards to the President, from the mailroom to the Boardroom. I don’t want to say that all hope is lost. I do want to say, prove that it isn’t.
Yes Dan, China has made its move for world dominance, but a little prematurely. Being the factor that took out Trump, who was finally starting to tame Beijing, Xi knew that one more term would have been the start of China’s unraveling, and he played every hand he had almost perfectly. From the bio weapons, our elected puppets and controlled social, news media, to our fake elections. Yes, He almost played it perfectly. I can’t say how this is going to play out, because the American public are waking up now, and the Ping had almost full control with the Obama admin, and should have made his move then. Could have walked into our White House without firing a shot. But with 90% democrat and 60% Republican traitors in office, the game could be over. Back to that come Election Day 2022…. The true current fact…. He who controls America, controls the world….
Persuasive and educational. Missing is the emerging fly in the ointment; to wit, fusion energy.
In this century, it's not out of the ream of possible for every neighborhood -- maybe even every building -- to have its own fusion power plant very much like nearly building, even dog kennels, today have a heat pump or a/c compressor
This technology will have as profound an impact on humankind as did electricity. It will make MacKinder's Control of the Heartland a dated perspective, one overtaken by events. There will still be competition, however, but among companies for customers and less, if any, between countries for resources
In the 70’s, I remember being told that electricity from nuclear fission reactors would be so plentiful and cheap that it wouldn’t be worth metering on your house; more like just a connection fee. Didn’t happen.
I had an old college buddy who became a Princeton PhD high energy physicist. A very sharp guy, and fusion was his thing. I always felt that he’d make the breakthrough that would make it a reality, but he’s retired now after spending 40+ years at a top university working to solve the problems. Still no fusion. Maybe his contribution was discovering what doesn’t work. Not much glory, but still important. Apparently it’s a bigger challenge than most of us realize.
Regardless, I’m likewise hopeful that I’ll live long enough to see fusion reactors, but I don’t think I’ll be tossing my electric meter anytime soon.
Idk if you read Bill’s former colleague Jeff Brown, but his Bleeding Edge email has featured some of the great strides in fusion that have been made lately. I think it’s closer than we realize, and I’m hopeful you’ll get your wish Mark!
That’s an interesting take on things, Jimm. I’d like to know more about your theory that readily available electricity will negate the drive for power we’re seeing. Did that theory come from something you’ve read or is it personal observations?
I was expressing my belief that, in this century, safe and affordable power by fusion will be available to the extent that every home could have a mini-fusion power plant. The font for my belief are periodic articles I read in the Bleeding Edge, a free email newsletter that provides updates about emerging technologies. Fusion energy is one of its recurring topics.
Oh cool, a fellow Jeff Brown reader! I agree, it’s a phenomenal new way to power out lives. I thought you had insight other than Jeff’s writing about it. I hope it does come to pass sooner rather than later.
Fantastic article. You take a complicated idea, a complicated situation and explained it so precisely. Reading the article was like floating down a calm river on a beautiful sunny day. But the message is quite real and unnerving.
Underlying the discussion of geopolitics, is an unacknowledged discussion of the evolution of weapons - ponies, elephants, naval power, air power, nuclear weapons. It seems inevitable that new weapons are coming. Space, robotics, hypersonic drones, something unknown today, or a combination?
One of those weapons was already used to prove out control by by fear in 2019 and 2020. If you are MRNA vaccinated it worked well. If you are reading Bonner Research newsletters from your battery operated vehicle, thinking you changed CO2 output and are saving GIA, it worked perfectly
Very insightful analysis. But I think you are missing a very important point. They despise each other and will rip the eyes out of the competition to get access to the natural resources.
Although a couple of folks below missed the entire point of this profound essay, falling back on their puerile Red v. Blue philosophy, most of the comments below are interesting and well thought out. I feel it's a privilege to be among such astute thinkers. Thank you Bonner and partners.
Misguided, inept, and antiquated. Narender Modi's comment, "now is not the era for war," may have more relevance than anything in your article. Perhaps naive, but the mere notion of control could be shoved aside with real leadership. Maybe the girls will finally step up and throw the boys out of the sandbox.
George, really? It is so simple - money and power. Or more accurately Power then Money. It has been that way for our specie since time began. You can boil everything down (or back depending how you would like to look it) to Power and Money. If you have the Power, then you have the Money.
Another author, Timothy Marshall, also agrees global power is derived and/or confined by geography. He has written two great books called Prisoners of Geography and The Power of Geography which are fascinating reads.

Really appreciate this type of analysis. Keep it coming!
So true. Dan Denning knocked it out of the park.

Aaron optimists are not an amusement in particle physics
I read Jeff’s take on fusion. He’s an optimist. Nothing wrong with that!

I'm watching Mission Impossibe "Fallout" while reading the article, I don't know which is more exciting.

After nearly 90 years, I'm finally beginning to understand what makes these insane governments tick...
