Join us at https://www.crisisinvesting.com   The End of America is Near. The signs are everywhere. It's a troubling picture, but one that Americans can no longer afford to ignore.  The recent conviction of Trump in New York should set aside any doubts you may have retained. The trial had all the hallmarks of a "kangaroo court" and "show trial" where the outcome was predetermined. The jury's rapid guilty verdict on all 34 counts defies belief.  Inflation, open borders, increasing crime.  The list goes on. But, perhaps the worst situation of all is what's happening with Ukraine. Our political leaders are sleepwalking us into World War III in Ukraine. NATO's recent decision to greenlight Ukraine to attack Russia directly is beyond reckless. It's backing Vladimir Putin into a corner. I worry it's only a matter of time before he resorts to tactical nuclear weapons to show the West he means business. A catastrophic war seems almost inevitable at this point.     CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Current Events 00:10 Historical Insight: Tulsa Race Massacre 04:00 Race Relations and Identity Politics 06:56 Trump's Conviction and Political Repercussions 21:06 NATO and Ukraine Conflict 29:09 The Possibility of World War 3 29:27 Listener Questions: Drugs and Personal Experiences 32:32 Movie Recommendations  39:13 Engaging with High-Profile Individuals 45:14 Libertarian Party and Political Views 50:57 Entrepreneurial Insights and Final Thoughts   NATO DECLARATION:  https://www.nato-pa.int/download-file?filename=/sites/default/files/2024-05/033%20SESP%2024%20E%20-%20DECLARATION%20489%20-%20UKRAINE%20%282%29.pdf

Can you see it? The End of America is Near.

Join us at https://www.crisisInvesting.com In this episode, Doug shares some details from leftist intellingensia magazines. They give a sense of what the left really thinks of the rest of us. Namely, that they're very happy to sacrifice everything you care about "for the greater good". One concept jumped out: The cold war era concept of "Sacrifice Zones".  Sacrifice zones are areas designated low value by the elite. The idea is that by sacrificing certain areas, a country can concentrate its limited defensive resources on protecting its most vital areas, such as major population centers, key industrial regions, and, of course, political/military command posts. Today, much of the west looks like a sacrifice zone.  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Historical Events 00:13 The Commercialization of Mount Everest 02:59 JFK's Birthday and Noriega's Death 04:48 US Invasions and Military History 05:22 Smedley Butler's Realizations 07:42 Scientific American and Feminization 09:03 Nuclear Weapons and Sacrifice Zones 13:49 New York Review of Books and Feminism 20:48 Climate Change and Historical Perspectives 24:44 Inside the Sausage Factory: COP26 Insights 27:53 Charging Stations and Government Inefficiency 30:49 Bird Flu and Food Supply Concerns 33:42 Libertarian Party and Political Critique 41:09 Dueling and Honor in Society 47:02 Concluding Thoughts and Wrap-Up
