Substack SitRep: 25 August 2023

Prisoner Trump, Brick by BRICS, Zelensky's villa, India on the moon, deadly South Africa, and Europe's persecution of thought crimes.

It’s a big news week, much of it on Substack - we can make sense of the chaos!

BRICS adding 6 countries is the story of the month. Prigozhin falling from the sky is immediate sensation. Sadly, my South Africa now has 3 cities in the world’s most violent Top 20.

Trump became prisoner No. P01135809. His interview on Tucker is NOT the most watched in history, that’s a massive manipulation by Musk, but it was more successful than the Republican debate. That means that The Guardian fell on its face after saying, “Trump wanted to distract from the Republican debate. But the slobbering snoozefest interview was low-energy”.

In the video section, there’s a big interview with Scott Ritter, and Jordan Peterson and his daughter react to the court’s decision against him.

However, I’m first attracting you to what’s being ignored by mass media. I kindly yell, “Wake the fuck up!”, and encourage you to read ‘China and Russia Execute a Pincer Movement Around Iraq’s Biggest Oil Assets’. It’s a prime example of the great geopolitical game that’s afoot (which we’re only witnessing part of). It includes the 2022 quote below.

HOT QUOTE

“Ensuring the continuing security of China’s energy needs remains our highest priority - not just for the next five years but for the next 50 and beyond.” - Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser

HAPPY HIGHLIGHT

Except for dodging meteors, I believe that Earth, not Space, should be our focus. But the joy on the faces of the mission control staff unexpectedly gave me a happiness that lasted for hours. President Narendra Modi’s dullness couldn’t stop me. Congratulations, India! Pink Floyd must be proud of you.
