In order to grasp a fully consistent and accurate understanding of the context of our lives it is necessary to zoom out and clock the big picture of what is happening in the world. Ideally, our interest on all matters in our lives will zoom in to attend to details and zoom out to check the context. This process is ideally an on-going one that serves to broaden our effectiveness across a wider spectrum.

To this end, this week, Harley Schlanger joins me to discuss the global political situation as of spring 2019. We discuss China and the silk road initiative (also referred to as the Belt and road initiative – BRI) and the situation in Venezuela, Trump and his battles with establishment placemen, and many other inter-relating topics. Harley, a member of and spokesperson for the LarouchePAC.com and the Schiller Institute, lives in Germany at the moment and keeps a close eye on global politics.
