Turkey has the second largest military in NATO, and it\u2019s clearly going to leave or be kicked out. Turkey also controls the Bosphorus, and Iran controls the strait of Hormuz. The Houthis effectively now (to some extent at least) control the Suez. That, my friends, is the trio of supply disruption in oil shipments.<\/p>\n<p>What else?<\/p>\n<p>Well, an interesting dilemma is opening up for NATO. What occurs if Israel decides to have a go at Turkey \u2014 either inside Turkish territory or outside? That would, according to the NATO treaty, constitute an attack on a NATO partner and immediately mean that all NATO members were now at war\u2026\u2026. with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>So should that actually occur, obviously NATO will side with Israel. Realise that the Mossad agent Epstein was not the only scumbag running such an operation, controlling influential US politicians and businessmen, and the idea that similar operations throughout NATO countries are not carried out is beyond naive. So all this means is that NATO will back Israel, despite Israel not being part of NATO. And when Turkey is kicked out of NATO, it will, I believe, be a nail in the coffin for NATO, at least as it stands today. This would put an end to it, and NATO\u2019s quickly fading veneer of credibility would fall away.<\/p>\n<p>Then we\u2019d have three of the most critical geopolitical choke points on the planet all controlled by members of the BRICS. I do hope you realise that this will never be allowed to occur by the Western powers. And because the world is currently run by Satanic paedophiles who will never want to give up power, war it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of geopolitical chokepoints, Chairman Xi has reportedly ordered his military to \u201c<em>prepare for war<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a visit to the PLA Rocket Force, the elite unit overseeing China\u2019s nuclear and conventional missiles, Xi gave a commanding speech demanding they \u201c<em>enhance their strategic deterrent and ensure combat readiness at all times<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PLA Rocket Force controls nukes and long-range missile capabilities crucial for any conflict, including a potential invasion of Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Xi\u2019s visit comes just days after Beijing deployed over 100 jets, drones, and warships around Taiwan, signalling an escalation in the ongoing standoff.<\/p>\n<p>China has repeatedly stated it won\u2019t rule out using force to bring Taiwan under its control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capital Controls by Another Name<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I made the claim that Europe would soon experience capital controls, folks looked at me like I\u2019ve two heads. Lunacy, I tell you. Wild, crazy, conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n<p>The blustering turns to huffing when I point out the following from the not so distant past:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cyprus implemented capital controls in 2013 during its banking crisis, restricting bank withdrawals as well as transfers abroad.<\/li>\n<li>Greece imposed capital controls in 2015 amid its debt crisis, limiting cash withdrawals and overseas transfers.<\/li>\n<li>Iceland instituted capital controls in 2008 during the global financial crisis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) made policy changes in 2022 allowing nations to implement capital controls preemptively and for \u201c<em>national\/international security reasons<\/em>.\u201d Conveniently, they don\u2019t tell us what those might be.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author: Chris MacIntosh<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nNovember 19, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently: The Houthis in Yemen tried to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
