Vladimir Putin’s oft-stated objections to NATO on Russia’s western doorstep stem from that history, yet the West has dismissed those objections as irrational paranoia. How can Putin doubt the West’s sincerity and goodwill, notwithstanding: the repeatedly broken NATO promise, the 2014 coup in Ukraine, the U.S. withdrawal from arms control treaties, the missiles positioned a few minutes flight time from Moscow in eastern Europe, Ukrainian bioweapons labs, the ongoing demonization of Putin, and the publicly expressed desire for Russian regime change? He’s a madman, they tell us, without ten seconds thought as to how he and the rest of Russia might perceive the situation.

    “The coup de grâce lie was President Nixon’s in 1971, when he claimed his suspension of the last vestiges of the gold exchange-standard would be temporary. Fifty-one years later, pure fiat is still in place. The skeptics of 1971 are not surprised.“

    From Will Zoll ReichsWEF part ll
    Population control, nuclear proliferation, Middle East wars, de-pegging of the USD from gold, the rise of China, the impending collapse of the West and so much more can all trace their roots back to Henry Kissinger.
    Kissinger no doubt was a disciple of Hegelian philosophy. Understanding the principles of the master-slave dialectic, he defended the idea that true power involved the complete submission to authority.
    Fostering a relationship with the CCP would eventually create an enormous labor arbitrage for globalist corporations. The slave labor wages paid to factory workers in China would be a fraction of the wages paid to American workers.

    Up until the 1970s, the average American family could be raised on a single middle-class income. As the globalist corporations offshored their production facilities to the CCP, this great American dream would gradually transition into a hellish nightmare, as we shall unpack later.
    Until 1971, America and the West were enjoying unprecedented economic growth. The debt from WWII was almost completely repaid, and low and middle wage earners were enjoying remarkable prosperity. In many cases, a single income would be able to finance a house and raise a family.

    After the Kissinger and Nixon Chinese deal, Western capital would begin to flow into the CCP. Factories that were once the economic pillars of American towns would be shut down and rebuilt in China. American jobs would be lost and wage growth would stagnate. Middle class prosperity was coming to an end.

    To counter this pending economic malaise, President Nixon used his emergency broadcast powers. Interrupting the TV show Bonanza, Nixon announced the end of the US Dollar gold standard. It was an action that was known as the “Nixon Shock”.
    With the Vietnam war raging, the US was already living well beyond its means and was clearly unable to maintain the USD to a gold standard. The removal of the gold standard unleashed the full potential of the US Federal Reserve to print money. The average American would have their declining prosperity hidden behind a wave of inflation.
