Economist Michael Hudson's Predictions for 2024

Checked his web site today, and he has an interview he did a few days ago now posted.
He starts out by defining some aspects of a Nazi State.
As I’m on my way out the door, I wanted to post this for the Giza community.

It is just over 53 minutes

Here’s his web site:

Oh BINGO! Ding Ding Ding! Prof. Hudson hits the nail on the head! @Robert_Barricklow Thank you very much for posting this! Again, it’s BRICS and BRI. Hello?! It’s clear as a bell!

There are a couple of areas I might debate the good Prof on, but not too many.

  1. I think Israel has far more power over U.S. govt that Prof is giving them credit for having. Granted, U.S. is supplying Israel with weapons, etc., but look who’s in charge of the vast majority of large financial and others institutions = Dual U.S./Israeli citizens. Not to mention AIPAC being one of the largest lob-orgs in U.S. There’s lots more, so, won’t belabor the matter. Per the video years ago with Wesley Clark, I think Israel has a much larger hand than mentioned.
  2. Xi Jinping is completely inept! This is why Putin is now President of BRICS & consequently, BRI. Putin will likely be Xi’s only, true advisor; telling Xi where and how to allocate funds, drawing up the build-outs, financial arrangements, military moves, everything else… Xi does have a large amount of U.S. Treasuries and that is an ace in the hole for China, else, it’s a trash dump, for reasons named in other posts. Putin will patch it up as best he can and wouldn’t surprise me to see Russians move into China in greater numbers. Already there to some extent but less since the war.

Since the video above was posted 7 days ago, I give Prof the benefit of the doubt re: BRICS alignment. The Saudi’s have given U.S. the high sign by joining BRICS and this is just huge! Keep in mind that each country within BRICS can conduct business using their own currencies and that’s what they’ll do for the foreseeable future. No hurry here and no hurry to pay their debts to U.S., which does have the ability to sink us. Prof made an excellent point with this. All countries have to do is stop paying back their debt to U.S. and Voila!

What is The U.S. doing to counter BRICS? It’s already been done, in part, with USMCA. The North American FT Agreement is in place and now what is needed is a BRI to Asia. The Prof is correct in his assessment that reaching Asia (preferably first) is key. IMO, U.S. govt is burning and shutting down as much of U.S. West Coast as possible, prepping for ports and bases to service trade with various Asian countries. If U.S. doesn’t do this, North America is done as a continental economy in the world. No, I don’t agree with the way it’s being done.

The wild card in all this is Donald Trump. The more I ponder this situation during Covid shutdown and Trumps trip to the hospital, I’m convinced he was ‘urged’ to attack and overtake Iran. If the alleged quote by Yahu re: “Flushing Trump down the toilet if he doesn’t start a war with Iran” is true, then, we have our likely answer as to why Trump was ‘removed’. Removed from office, an ‘accident’ (murder?) that kills his ex-wife, a legal and media blitz against him as we’ve never seen before… Is this for real, or, a well-planned, well-coordinated show? WTH?! I sure don’t know and don’t think any part of the general public knows either. Guess we’re going to find out soon enough.
