Cornel West on CNN says NATO “provoked” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, calls for “concessions of territory” to stop the war, and says the US “bears significant responsibility.” But he adds that he’s not “pro Putin,” so there’s that.

My segment on Glenn Greenwald’s show

Chinese: Russia is capable of destroying NATO and wiping the US off the face of the earth In a communiqué adopted at the end of the Vilnius summit, NATO accused China of helping Russia in Ukraine, Guancha reports. The alliance received a harsh response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which recalled NATO Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying warned the West against trying to create an analogue of NATO in Asia. It sounded menacing. “We have not forgotten NATO’s bloody debt to China for the bombing of our embassy in Yugoslavia. The countries of the Asia-Pacific region are against the military machine, especially the “Asia-Pacific version of NATO”, which ignites bloc confrontation or a new cold war,” she wrote on Twitter. https://t.me/vicktop55/16065

Amazingly, the NY Times just published an op-ed that uttered some harsh truths about NATO. NATO, like the mafia, is a protection racket, and the godfather in this crime syndicate is the U.S. military industrial complex.

If China announced tomorrow it was backing the Yuan with gold the dollar would instantly be toast. China has more than enough gold reserves and as ever it can reprice gold to whatever it likes. Anyone quoting timelines doesn’t understand we are in event driven scenarios now.

there’s a couple things you can do so

0:02

one thing is you can say well let’s look

0:05

at where the money comes from where does

0:07

the money come from

0:08

okay now you see you have an account

0:10

online don’t you usually say yes so they

0:12

know it this so you can pick up your

0:13

computer screen and you’ve got three

0:16

thousand dollars in your account well

0:17

what does that mean you look at your

0:19

screen and says three zero zero zero all

0:22

right and now like for me my social

0:25

security checks coming in I’ve got two

0:26

thousand dollars it’s going to hit and I

0:28

watch my screen I watch and I watch it

0:30

all of a sudden

0:32

britta you know their hosts hair on well

0:36

I just got paid my two thousand dollars

0:38

well what did the government actually do

0:40

okay all they did was change the number

0:43

on your screen from 3 to a 5 they left

0:46

the three zeroes alone they changed it

0:48

three to a five okay they just changed

0:50

your number from a low and over to a

0:52

higher they get anybody’s tax when you

0:54

shove it into a computer they didn’t

0:56

take gold coins of shovin

0:57

it just changed numbers and that’s what

1:00

they always do that’s where the money

1:01

comes from then I tell the story about

1:03

in the late 70s I was at Leigh Blair a

1:06

company and my back office guy called me

1:08

up he said the Federal Reserve made a

1:10

mistake they were supposed to give us 30

1:12

thousand instead they gave us 300

1:14

million it’s like great let’s take let’s

1:17

get out of here and get it all in $20

1:19

bills were gone and that’s what happened

1:21

he said well they had those calculators

1:25

back then they had zeros double zeros

1:27

and triple zeros on them and he

1:28

accidentally hit the triple zero instead

1:30

of the double zero in singles there or

1:32

something

1:32

he gave us three hundred million seven

1:34

thirty thousand dollars okay that was

1:36

good money we could have gone and spent

1:37

it if he had caught his mistake two

1:39

hours later he came back and changed her

1:41

number to what it was supposed to be

1:43

forget what he did so the artist so

1:46

where did the money come from

1:47

we’re not 300 million real dollars come

1:49

from that was just like any of them came

1:52

from the guy’s thumb you know so all of

1:55

all the dollars come from the guy’s

1:57

thumb at the Federal Reserve when he’s

1:58

crediting accounts he didn’t like tax

2:02

anybody for that money he didn’t borrow

2:03

it from China

2:04

he just treaded it to my account that’s

2:06

where it comes from and when you pay

2:08

taxes what happens well they change your

2:09

number down there just scorekeepers and

2:12

it’s like if you’re keeping

2:13

scorecard game finding a scorekeeper how

2:15

many points do I have well I don’t have

2:18

any points well then how do I give you

2:21

100 points if you have a good hand where

2:23

do I get them I don’t I just changed the

2:24

number and your score in your account

2:26

and if I give you a hundred points do I

2:29

have a hundred points last no I’m just a

2:31

score keeper I’m just changing your

2:32

numbers up and down and do I have to

2:35

take points from somebody else to give

2:36

them do you know okay so the government

2:39

can do this they contain they can’t the

2:41

only way they spend – it’s not like a

2:43

new way to spend money it’s the only way

2:46

they spend money there’s no other way to

2:47

do it and so they just changed numbers

2:50

and the constant change them up and they

2:51

change them down and a guy at the

2:52

Treasury changing numbers upward he pays

2:54

people he doesn’t even know the phone

2:56

number of the email the guy at the IRS

2:58

changing numbers down there’s no

3:00

connection there’s an accountant in the

3:02

middle who decides whether there’s been

3:03

a surplus or deficit all he does is

3:06

subtract the two numbers and he makes an

3:07

announcement there isn’t anything else

3:09

except it’s just a big record-keeping

3:11

exercise okay so maybe you have to start

3:14

with something like that to talk to

3:18

people and then the next thing they’ll

3:19

move into is inflation say oh well if

3:21

you just keep giving people everything

3:23

you know the money’s gonna be worthless

3:24

and you agree you say yes of course but

3:26

that doesn’t mean that’s not how it’s

3:28

done

3:28

and so when Bernie Sanders says Medicare

3:31

for all is gonna cost a trillion dollars

3:33

where are we going to get them and

3:35

somebody says we were gonna get the

3:36

money you tell them we’re just gonna

3:37

change the numbers in people’s accounts

3:39

that’s where the money comes from when

3:41

Medicare makes a payment they change the

3:43

number and somebody’s back income how

3:45

does the government can pay for it we’ve

3:46

got a credit a bank account we’re gonna

3:48

change the number to a higher number is

3:50

that gonna cause a problem well maybe

3:52

and if it is we’re going to deal with it

3:53

is Medicare for all changing all those

3:56

numbers is gonna cause inflation well I

3:58

don’t know what it Bernie say did Bernie

4:01

say look you know this all the spending

4:04

on Medicare is gonna cause inflation so

4:05

now we’re gonna have to tax to take some

4:07

money away so there won’t be inflation

4:08

no he did say that he said we have to

4:11

get the money to be able to pay for it

4:14

and that’s a raw and be highly

4:17

misleading as to how you can have

4:18

problems and seeds the major obstacle is

4:21

why we don’t actually have Medicare look

4:24

we both want Medicare flaw

4:26

okay and if it was going to create an

4:28

inflation problem we’d be out there

4:30

talking about that just as much as

4:31

anybody else but what we can show is

4:33

it’s probably not this probably going to

4:35

be the opposite it’s probably going to

4:37

cause prices to go down and not off in

4:39

which case there’d be no point in taking

4:41

money from anybody to pay for it now if

4:44

you want to take away money from the

4:45

rich for social equity purposes fine you

4:47

know we can talk about that but don’t

4:50

tie it to paying for Medicare because

4:52

then we don’t get Medicare for all which

4:54

is exactly what happened okay that

4:56

mistake that mistaken understanding is

4:59

what kept it away from us now which side

5:00

of this argument are you want if you

5:03

want to get Medicare if you don’t want

5:05

to get if it’s not causing a problem do

5:07

you want to you know create the illusion

5:09

that is creating a problem so that we

5:11

don’t get it you know what kind of like

5:13

what kind of progressive is that why

5:15

would you undermine your own agenda for

5:17

something that’s not the case so I don’t

5:19

know I know we could talk about yes it

5:22

was like in 2010 he has a fantastic

5:25

article called you know the last

5:28

progressive standing and and it was

5:30

really about this whole debt and deficit

5:33

height that is going on today the left

5:37

is not learn their lesson and and I’ve

5:40

been quoting you like crazy because I

5:42

love it the headline left has failed

5:45

progressives mightily and yes talk about

5:48

how the headline left including Bernie

5:50

Sanders have really done us no favors

5:54

yeah so us you know Bernie Sanders is

5:57

the most immediate when I wrote that it

5:59

was something like 2010 and so there are

6:01

others that were more topical at the

6:03

time that I was meeting today but the

6:06

Bernie Sanders chart has a lot of

6:07

meaning if he came out with Medicare for

6:09

all which of course is something every

6:11

progressive would support but then you

6:15

know he puts on his big whopping multi

6:16

trillion dollar tax to pay for it and I

6:20

had talked to Stephanie at the time

6:22

stephanie kelton his was chief economist

6:25

for the Senate Budget Committee which is

6:27

Bernie Sanders committee so that she was

6:30

his economist you know like he’s

6:33

Medicare for all is a deflationary event

6:36

you’re going to save a trillion dollars

6:38

in expense for the country

6:39

that’s going to mean trillion dollars

6:41

worth of salaries basically those people

6:43

are going to be losing their jobs and

6:45

when you’ve got unemployment going up

6:46

and well I ever get demand from that you

6:49

know raise taxes because since this is

6:52

stupid because some what fiscal policy

6:55

is all about you’d either be increasing

6:56

public services like including free

6:59

education to pay for it rather than

7:01

raising taxes well they ate you know the

7:05

answer I got from the Sanders camp was

7:07

Ronnie Murray said he says I’ve been a

7:09

fiscal conservative all my life and I’m

7:12

not going to change now and so I’m gonna

7:14

come up with a way to pay for it so it

7:15

comes up this big whopping tax and

7:17

Hillary Clinton points to it says see

7:20

this just proves we can’t afford

7:22

Medicare for all it’s like Santa Claus a

7:26

hollow and we’re burning as we know were

7:28

the adults in the room and so uh you

7:31

know we’re gonna have to do the

7:32

Obamacare and patch or something like

7:34

that okay so here you have Bernie

7:37

Sanders who’s a headline left for this

7:39

particular issue you’ve got it all wrong

7:42

and he did the issue you know the damage

7:45

that killed it yeah he’s the one killed

7:47

it with his own you know mistaken tax

7:51

hike that he thought had to go with it

7:53

and so here we are

7:55

best progressives losing the issue

7:56

because the headline left can’t support

7:58

their own policies properly they don’t

8:01

understand the monetary system ail

8:02

understand monetary and fiscal policy

8:05

and they they botch it they’ve been

8:07

doing this every single time for the

8:09

last at least ten years and at some

8:14

point it’ll almost wonder if it’s by

8:16

design if they’re really not

8:18

left-leaning people if they’re really

8:20

not progressives but they just do it as

8:23

people like Paul Krugman has been doing

8:25

it for a long time and even Dean Baker

8:27

who’s I think is laughed I mean seems

8:31

sincere enough to me and so you’d have

8:33

to you know you know you just it’s

8:36

discouraging to see the damage being

8:39

done by the by the left and not by the

8:41

right the right supposed to take that

8:42

other side now that the budget deficit

8:44

itself is another big issue in the

8:47

headline from left is what’s killing us

8:49

the the headline the left will say yes

8:52

we need a fiscal adjustment

8:53

short term but in the long term we have

8:55

a long-run deficit probably have a

8:57

long-run entitlement problem we have to

8:58

do something about it

8:59

right now we have to go the other way

9:01

well once they’ve conceded that there’s

9:03

a long-term deficit problem and

9:05

al-monitor entitlement problem they’ve

9:08

lost the short-term bet so yeah we tried

9:10

that under British rule out the debt and

9:12

like all we got was more debt we still

9:13

have the long term problem okay well

9:16

when the fact is that we don’t have a

9:20

long-term deficit problem and in the way

9:22

they’re they’re thinking about a long

9:25

term deficit problem there’s no such

9:26

there’s no such thing as a long term

9:27

deficit the only possible long-term

9:29

deficit problem would be an inflation

9:31

problem and Bernie Sanders did not score

9:34

Medicare for on an inflationary basis he

9:37

didn’t say Oh Medicare for all is going

9:39

to cause inflation unless we increase

9:40

the tax so we have to increase the tax

9:43

reduced aggregate to me instead scoring

9:45

Medicare for all probably would have

9:47

shown strong deflationary forces and

9:50

would not have called for it okay so and

9:53

I had a discussion with Professor

9:56

Michael Woodford who’s you can’t get

9:57

much more mainstream than that his named

10:01

the number one economist in the world

10:02

the top influence of all the central

10:03

factors very nice man very sincere and I

10:08

said Michael what the only possible

10:10

long-term deficit problem would be a

10:11

long-term inflation problem the

10:13

government’s dr. Bob’s cheques or

10:14

anything like that he’d stop for at the

10:17

most 10 seconds and said yeah of course

10:19

you know you know the credit accounts I

10:21

said okay so the only way we can so you

10:27

know since the only way we can have a

10:28

long-term inflation problem is if we

10:30

have a long-term deficit problem what we

10:31

do to see if we have a lot of term

10:32

deficit problems as we look to the

10:34

long-term inflation forecast so you go

10:37

to the Fed the CEO and precious

10:39

free-market Treasury index bonds market

10:42

it right and they’re all two percent or

10:44

less so all these mainstream headline

10:48

forecasts and markets are screaming out

10:51

there is no long-term inflation problem

10:53

even with the debt being 77 percent of

10:55

GDP and Medicare is going to be honored

10:57

and 75 percent of the budget and

10:59

whatever all this you know all these

11:02

forecasts a financial or whatever they

11:05

come again or whatever the

11:07

like this it doesn’t show up in the

11:08

inflation forecast which means yes the

11:11

spending might be that high but there’s

11:12

not going to be any shortage of demand

11:13

and we can actually in real terms of

11:16

Florida hopeless at this point time

11:17

given no change okay and so if anybody

11:21

says to me there’s a long-term deficit

11:23

problem I say okay maybe but the burden

11:25

of proof is on you to show me that these

11:28

inflation forecasts are wrong you have

11:30

to show me that the Fed the CBO and the

11:33

free-market Treasury tips now maturity

11:36

test free market breaking inflation it

11:39

is wrong and then I’ll listen to you too

11:42

but until then I’ve got that on my side

11:44

okay that’s all you have to do it so why

11:47

would any progressive ever concede this

11:49

400 deficit bubble when the other side

11:52

can’t even begin to to to like you know

11:56

show that those forecasts are wrong show

11:58

that there is a long-term deficit

11:59

problem but by conceding if they’ve

12:01

taken away the victory right there

12:03

there’s all
