And that's simply the way it is within this capitalist system. Seeking healthy balance and sustainability is simply not an option within a centralized debt-based system. This is why we are in the situation that we are in when considering pollution and green energy.

I think I went over this with you a few weeks ago. What they did was aligned state actors with non state actors to invest in green energy through the use of development bank funds provided by the taxpayers in no risk guarantees if they invested in green energy technology. They than coerce countries that need money into using a portion of those monies to invest in green technologies that these companies invested in. One of the first things they do is hold a conference training course with media in those countries on how to sell the climate change crisis. But there really isn't a crisis when you backed developers to build refineries in India and China to refine oil into natural gas to put into other developers pipelines and liquified natural gas ports build over the last ten years in Europe. All for the sole purpose of getting cheap energy bids from multiple supplies doing so in less regulated environments with a pool of cheap labor. IF this was a REAL climate crisis they'd backed those developers to build a clean energy grid instead of expecting other countries to transition to clean energy while they still use carbon intensive energy. Nor would the US have invested thirty billion dollars to do the same in Africa so they can have a piece of that transition pie. There's no climate crisis. Amazing how the push toward all this corresponded to the every two hundred year solar minimum the earth goes through. Yes we will see more severe weather but it won't be because of a climate crisis it will because we are entering another solar minimum.

This brings us back to Taiwan and the fact that China wants to annex it back into the superpower. You might not know this (I didn't before the podcast) but Taiwan makes some of the best semiconductors out there. There is speculation that China taking Taiwan could be very bad in terms of tech monopolies. There is even further speculation that China might even allow other superpowers like USA to figure out their semiconductors situation BEFORE invading Taiwan just so the USA stays out of it, allowing for a decisive victory with little intervention. How's that for a twist?

Here's another twist to all that. Ukraine is rich in every mineral on the face of the earth. You could shop there for the next six hundred years and not run out. Your point brings up an interesting topic because it would seem that if China were waiting for the US to find it's footing so to speak when it comes to producing their own metals that China wouldn't be fine with the Ukraine Russian war because that actually curtails their plans to do exactly that in Taiwan. You'd think China would have harsher words for Russia considering the whole war would be impeding their ability to take over Taiwan. It looks more like China doesn't want the US to carry on with their plans of operating those green energy mines they've built in Dnipro Ukraine in Korobchine Village, Kirovograd Ukraine. This was a stipulation by Elon Musk that he wouldn't mass produce any cars unless the mining of the minerals were done in a fashion that was environmentally friendly. So back in 2011 when they were speculating that the war between Russia and Ukraine was all about oil and natural gas in the Donbas region, that Russia was trying to keep them out of shelf areas where they had been drilling that's not exactly what they were doing. (DuPont) Chemours, Tracy's and Precheza were building green energy mining operations using a propriety revolutionary technology that reduced cost of titanium four fold in a zero waste conept of green titanium. The patents are held by Velta Ti Process and are priorities at the USPTO. By 2030 it's expected or was expected because who knows where this war is headed, to be a seventeen billion dollar a year operation. So you'd think if China wanted to take control of Taiwan they'd be hot on rice to Russia interfering or meddling in Ukraine to impede their desires. Plus one may want to stop and ponder that if Russia was feeling compelled to be a bit teed off about losing Europe's business or all their sanctions the first thing they'd done was take out those mining operations. But the truth is is that Russia is building a pipeline system into China with the first pipeline section already done and others planned along the way. So Russia is going to get a market three times larger than the one they were serving.

The one point not missed on all this is the fact that governments, not just the US government, is using social media and the media to control the narrative. The only way to stop this is by demanding controls on the development banks where there is currently no rules in how they decide to use public monies, including the use of non state actors who are private and confidential. That should never be allowed when it comes to public funding. The really bad part of this is is that the taxpayers get a double whammy because they have to pay back the investors for all the monies they invested through higher energy cost. That's why Europeans energy bills have skyrocketed, the guarantee by the development banks is "no loss guarantees", only if they lose money do the banks pay the losses. They can than, as each project is paid off by taxpayers through higher energy cost, take those same funds and coerce other countries into their scheme.

Blockchain is involved in all this. That was part of the "agreement of mutual understanding" as they call them, when it came to Mexico, Mexico is building what will be the global energy blockchain. Meaning as fast as Walmart, who uses blockchain technology to track where all their products go which gives them minutes to track where any recalled products went, can utter a recall they'll be able to shut off your lights, gas, and by than probably your car if you don't behave. Every country in these global partnerships have to commit to something through these "agreements of mutual understanding" and they can be as varied as night and day. If I were you I'd be happy as a lark to miss that coming opportunity.
