Max is bringing up some rather troubling reports of actual fascism in the Ukraine that the Biden administration is ramping up.

I love that Pacino supposedly genuinely startled Hank Azaria with this take, so his reaction is genuine.

It’s sad to see because Max’s book on Israel Palestine was part of my movement away from trusting official narratives and trusting corporate media in general but he’s always been a bitter contrarian and so it’s not surprising at all

Allegedly (;)) a lot of America's relationship with European states are based on secret treaties that mean we can basically get them to surrender their sovereignty whenever we want.

I don't think we can know anything, really. Like, how are you going to FOIA a document that doesn't officially exist? It took the Bolsheviks seizing Russian archives for the world to find out about the secret treaties around WW1.

They've done a good job of keeping the covid crankery off the Moderate Rebels podcast, so I really don't have to care about Max's opinions on that. The new episode also has Michael Hudson on to talk about the Fed's secret bailout in 2019, how the inflation crisis is a result of monopoly power rather than monetary, and why central banks are dropping dollars in favor of gold reserves. it's because the USA is loving up international finance

So I followed up a little on this. I found an article from a couple years ago on Lawfare blog where the guy used FOIA to uncover evidence of secret treaties but not their contents.

quote:

https://www.lawfareblog.com/new-evidence-secret-international-agreements

It is true that certain fragments of evidence exist in open sources: A 2001 Senate Foreign Relations Committee Print indicates that at least 9 percent of nontreaty agreements transmitted to Congress from 1978 to 1999 were classified. Based on an interview with Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, Oona Hathaway reported in 2009 that “[b]etween five and fifteen percent of current executive agreements are classified as secret.” And in 2016, Elizabeth Goitein used FOIA to reveal that the executive branch entered a minimum of 807 unpublished agreements—both classified and unclassified—from 2004 through 2014.

But there are still many unknowns. We don’t know how often the United States has entered classified agreements since 2009, the degree to which this form of secrecy has ebbed and flowed across administrations, whether recent practice is in line with historical norms, or the relative frequency with which the State Department relies on each of the various statutory grounds to block publication. Nor do we know much about the content of classified agreements, the foreign parties who enter them or the federal agencies who oversee U.S. implementation.

Basically, the US is doing secret diplomacy all the time and we have no idea who it's with or what it's about.

Michael Hudson said something at the end of the new episode about Bitcoin that I hadn't heard before, but which makes perfect sense. Established financial firms are getting into bitcoin because they're betting on crime being the real growth industry - and the more drug trading & etc., there is the more demand there will be for cryptocoin. So everybody has to buy in now to cash in on the wave of crime.
