The inflation genie - Fabio Vighi

"Ever-expanding artificial liquidity can only destroy currencies. The immediate consequence of this implosive process, however, is not liberation from capitalism, but a new capitalist phase of ideological manipulation and authoritarian violence, which is now upon us. Each step in the global economic downfall will continue to be matched with emergency narratives of corresponding gravity. This is why any resistance to the new status quo in the making, whether motivated by the unsustainable rise of the cost of living or the increased discrimination over human life, will entail a struggle to define the cause of our predicament as systemic rather than exogenous.

Our globalised world is a debt-based system of simulated financial growth that relies on the continuous expansion of liquidity, which is created “out of nothing” in the form of debt/credit. Our civilization is addicted to money printing and asset bubbles, a dependence that can hardly be broken. In a debt-soaked world like ours, nothing is more dangerous than interfering with the expansion of fake liquidity; nothing more threatening than a sudden “credit crunch”, a haemorrhage of freshly minted money. The cash-flow heading to the stock markets must continue to increase, whatever it takes.

As I have argued in my previous pieces on this matter, COVID-19 was, in essence, an unprecedented attempt to restore the expansive capacity of artificial liquidity at a critical time in the history of casino-capitalism. By the end of 2019 the financial sector was, again, at risk of rapidly becoming illiquid as the Monopoly money was drying up – a predictable occurrence that had already triggered the Great Financial Crisis. However, in 2019 the stakes were much higher than in 2008, for the system’s monetary addiction had reached breaking point. Today, in seemingly post-pandemic times, we remain hostage to a Ponzi scheme where toxic liabilities act as collateral for other toxic liabilities, in what is an endless trail of insubstantial paper. Central Banks expand their balance sheets to purchase these liabilities merely to prevent their loss of paper value.

The choice faced by most countries, including the affluent ones, will soon be either default or hyperinflation of the currency needed to repay the IOUs.

This means that capital accumulation itself is now on life support, as its managers are caught in what can only be described as a lose-lose situation. On the one hand, they know that they must find reasons to pull more liquidity (debt) into the present by dint of what is conventionally known as “printing it.” On the other, they also know that this hardly original escamotage can only lead to runaway inflation, and then hyperinflation. What takes place today as a matter of monetary normality used to characterise wartime economies, namely direct financing via the money presses. While this can only result in depressing the real economy, simultaneously generating the highest wealth inequality on record, what should give us pause is the thought that a world hostage to bubble inflation inevitably “melts into thin air”, losing its social grounding as well as the language to articulate any form of resistance. Collapse is at once economic, socio-political, and cultural."

The floodgates of the genocide truth have been forced open by all of us calling it out since October 2023 and the truth is finally mainstream in Europe. There is no going back. It's over for the reputation of those who sided with the executioners. They are forever compromised, caught on the wrong side of history. We now see them scrambling to save their reputations, but it's too late!

First Republican to tell the truth on this!

Is it just me or were Western men in the 1970s or even early 1980s on average much more courageous and outspoken than men in the 2020s, and if so what may be contributing to this?

The original "Palestine Action"...

🚨 NYT’s Zionist decor

The “unbiased” New York Times keeps a portrait of Theodor Herzl—the father of Zionism—hanging proudly in their studio.

But sure, their coverage of Palestine is totally neutral 👍

Catch it in the background during presidential interviews – Herzl’s ghost (or signature?) looming over their “reporting.”

"So when they describe textbook ethnic cleansing as a 'Gaza development plan' or an 'audacious proposal' by a 'real estate developer,' he is guiding their hearts."

🔍Members of Congress with an ‘AIPAC guy’ – a visual illustration

👉Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s damning 2024 revelation that virtually every one of his colleagues has an “AIPAC guy” that advises them on policy and threatens attack ads against anyone insufficiently supportive of Israel has been mapped, showing that majorities in both parties are beholden to the lobbyist.

Among Republicans, just 19 are not bought-and-paid-for shills of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Among Democrats, 130 are so-called ‘AIPAC Dems’, while 86 are not (many of these are affiliated with the ‘progressive’ pro-Israel group J Street and the Democratic Majority for Israel).

🤡Hall of shame

🔵House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA): raked in $625k in AIPAC cash in 2025 alone
🔵Adam Schiff (D-CA): Over $6.2M in donations from AIPAC-affiliated groups
🔵Rep George Latimer (D-NY): $19.1M in Israel lobby cash during his 2024 election bid
🔵Tom Cole (R-OK) $645k in AIPAC funding

🚫AIPAC’S Do-not-call list

🟢Thomas Massie (R-KY): $0 in AIPAC cash, voted against making Israel a “strategic partner” in 2014
🟢Cori Bush (D-MO): Targeted by AIPAC to the tune of $100M in 2024
🟢Rashida Tlaib (D-MI): Headache for AIPAC over advocacy for Palestinian rights
🟢Eli Crane (R-AZ): Got just $500 from pro-Israel PACS over his “poor legislative record on Israel-Palestine issues”

💲Spending over $51.8M in the 2024 cycle, and millions more on lobbying, per OpenSecrets, AIPAC is also plugged into the revolving door of Washington politics, with about 1 in 5 of its lobbyists previously working for the government.

✡️🇳🇱 Netherlands’ flagging of Israel as ‘state threat’ could ‘unravel ruthless Zionist conspiracy menacing Europe’

The Dutch National Coordinator for Security & Counter-Terrorism’s (NCTV) decision to crack down on Israel’s powerful lobbying apparatus is a “remarkable” development with regional and even global implications, investigative journalist Kit Klarenberg writes in a new PressTV analysis.

🔴 It’s the “first time” a Western intelligence service has explicitly “acknowledged the grave hazard posed” by Israel’s global public diplomacy network

🔴 The Netherlands carries prime “geopolitical significance” for Israel, serving “as a key nucleus for [Tel Aviv’s] lobbying efforts across Europe and beyond” thanks to its traditionally “friendly political environment” and the “large number of powerful EU, NATO and UN institutions” operating there

What happened?

👉 Israel’s blatant “attempts to influence politics and public opinion” following the November 2024 Amsterdam riots ahead of a UEFA football match triggered the NCTV’s shock decision.

👉 Initially presented by hapless Dutch officials as a vile Antisemitic incident, it soon became clear to investigators that Israeli football fanatics were the ones who triggered the mayhem, vandalizing public and private property, assaulting the city’s Muslim residents and shouting inflammatory slogans.

👉 The NCTV uncovered evidence that Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora provided reports “directly to specific politicians and journalists” to spread false narratives.

👉 The ministries of justice, security and foreign affairs found “the distribution method unusual and, due to the potential negative consequences for Dutch citizens, undesirable,” (i.e. putting them at risk of threats, intimidation and physical violence).
