If so many senior police officers are in the pockets of criminals, can you imagine how easy it is for foreign intelligence services to buy them off for top secret / sensitive security information! It’s as if there’s zero counterintelligence work being done.

50 years ago, the US and Saudis came to an agreement that forced every country to buy dollars before they could buy Saudi's oil. China had to convert yuan into dollars every time they needed the one commodity that keeps their factories running. Japan bought US bonds just to get dollars that kept their bullet trains running. France traded euros for dollars just to buy fuel that runs their wine and agriculture. This deal is a key reason the US dollar has maintained its position as the world's reserve currency for so long. And why the value of your 401(k), your IRA, and every dollar you've saved since you started your full-time career has been propped up. In the article below, I'll explain how this deal created the "petrodollar system", why it's breaking down now and how this affects retail investors.

In 1895, a French social psychologist named Gustave Le Bon published a book so dangerous that it became the private playbook of dictators for the next century. Hitler quoted it. Mussolini kept it by his bedside. Edward Bernays used it to build modern propaganda. The book's name? "The Crowd." Its core claim: The moment people form a group, they become stupid. Not slightly dumber. Fundamentally, structurally incapable of rational thought. And the tactics he described for controlling them still work on you right now. 🧵 (thread)
