First hour: Andrei Martyanov discusses his new book Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse in light of ongoing events in Ukraine. From his latest blog post: “Europe willingly committed suicide and reduced itself to a lunch for the US.” He quotes Tony Wood: “Why didn’t the government of Germany guarantee in writing that it would veto any additional NATO membership? It would have solved at least half of the problem. Why didn’t any other NATO government do so? And what are they doing now? Where are their initiatives for peace? It is over. The Ukraine is gone. Russia has won. Energy and wheat prices have doubled. With inciting a longer fight Europe only increases its own losses.”
Martyanov: “Russia is the largest wheat exporter in the world. I will omit here data on strategic resources such as rare-earth metals and fertilizers, of which Russia and Belarus account for almost 40% of world supply and you can draw the picture yourself. Europe, meanwhile, lost more than 160 million people market (Russia and Belarus) and with upcoming addition of another 20-25 millions in Ukraine, we are looking at 180-185 million. This is serious, folks, especially considering the fact that modern Russia is not poor on average and is able to pay. Good job, Europe. Good luck in your new life, whatever is left of it.”

Second hour: Bestselling author and activist Angela Stanton King doesn’t pull her punches: “The attempt to force people to take the Covid-19 vaccine against their wishes disproportionately hurts and impacts the BLACK community. Saying BLACK people are incapable of making their own decisions and forcing them to follow orders or be discriminated against is the latest form of medical apartheid…Medical apartheid is population control. Population control comes in different forms: vaccines, abortions, mass incarceration, and perverted sexual agendas targeting children. Population control is racist! From the WOMB to the TOMB, it’s time Y’all!”
Angela Stanton-King is a former U.S. Congressional Candidate for Georgia’s 5th District and the Founder and President of the American King Foundation – whose mission is to reunite American families separated by mass incarceration and human trafficking with a pathway to justice, economic stability, and relational wellness.
