You don't understand anymore what's going on. I think it holds also for civilizations, and that's what Mr. Giorgio Bianchi is saying.

It is often difficult or impossible to know what will come out of a certain action, so the most important is to be flexible and adjust if outcomes are not what we want. <br /><br />Where is the nimbleness and adaptability these days? Where do you see agile action? <br /><br />I heard an excellent quote by David Holmgren the other day, which is relevant to this topic: "The solution is the problem!"

I've read a lot of comments on a lot of blogs and they comment on food shortages etc. But no one comments from the approach of Disaster Capitalism or mentions Blackrock's Global Natural Asset Fund...and what is actually happening, is of course, that the farmers (mid sized..small, maybe larger) will be forced out of business and if they have any debt, or are cash short, they will be forced to sell to the Blackrock's and Vanguard's of the world...for further consolidation and control. The concommitant benefit will be food shortages and starvation and death and desperation, thus aiding the population depletion effort started by the lockdown panics and small business destruction, etc. It was no accident that Biden mentioned the deaths of 60 million from 1900 to 1950 to establish the new liberal world order. One has to grasp that he knows many greater numbers of deaths are coming from his "New American World Order" which he announced publicly last week. Certainly others understand this, as Politico was projecting a massive demographic collapse in Russia and China shortly....why, what do they think they know?<br /><br />Yes, Ugo....evil machination that is generally unnoted, or perhaps not understood...as one of my former students said, "The evil is so great I cannot wrap my mind around it." And that is what the monsters count on, along with control of the media...People refuse to see/are too brainwashed to see/have had too much in their lives not to believe they are entitled to keep it forever. Anyway, good post and you came to the right suggestion at the end of the Italian piece. They may not be able to control/foresee all the variables, but the evil doers can understand that they usually benefit from their push.<br /><br />Time to go out with the dogs and gather cow pies for my own fertilizer supply for my survival garden.

I had known that Nelson Mandela spearheaded the modern sanctions movement to put pressure on South Africa to end apartheid and also the fruitless but endless sanctions against Cuba by the US, but not about earlier use of sanctions.
