• Bill Walton talks about the “Masters of the Universe” on Wall Street and their plans for tomorrow’s monetary policy: “…in the case of Peter Thiel…he was speaking at…a cryptocurrency conference recently, and he called out Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink…all these men…have their financial models based in the old economy. And they have a lot at stake and a lot to lose…Nobody really understands what’s going on with their money right now, both in the United States and worldwide”

Lots to talk about. In the aftermath of the invasion, European leaders, I think it’s fair to say, principally have taken point on imposing a variety of sanctions on, well, Russia, in general. Its Central Bank, other banks. Its capital markets. It’s the leadership and the oligarchs that prop it up, even Vladimir Putin himself has been sanctioned. This constitutes, it seems sort of economic warfare, as I say, against the Putin regime. Unfortunately, it does not seem, at least as of yet, to be slowing or otherwise reducing the violence that Putin is meeting out to Ukrainian people. Your thoughts about what’s been done to date and what effect it’s having, if any, and what needs to be done.

Boy, a lot to talk about in the economic warfare space, that’s for sure. Bill, give us a 30,000 foot level assessment of how we are watching economic warfare be waged, it seems with considerable effect at the moment, by European nations both in NATO and some not. As well as, to some extent, the United States under the administration of Joe Biden.

Night after night in cities across the country, black-garbed assailants clash with police in the streets, smash windows and throw Molotov cocktails in an effort to destroy police stations, federal courthouses, and local businesses all in the name of anti-fascism. Most Americans are now sadly, all too aware of the movement known as Antifa. But where did they come from? What do they want? And how do we stop their campaign of violent mayhem?
