PODCAST 33: THE GREEK CRISIS & THE CHINESE BUBBLE

With last-minute attempts being made to keep Greece in the Euro and China facing a serious stock market crash, Colin Liddell is joined by Alt-Right's man in the Philippines, Siryako Akda, to discuss the turbulent state of the global economy. Issues raised include the rise of the EU's "invisble empire," the "liquidity killing" tendencies of parsimonious Orientals, and whether global capitalism has finally run out of road. Is the World getting ready for an autarkic Winter, and if so will liberal leftism be the first luxury chucked overboard?




AFRICA AND THE NEW WORLD DISORDER


To paraphrase Harold Macmillan, a “wind of change” is blowing through Africa. But, unlike 1960, when the former British Prime Minister made his famous remark, the wind today is not that of a growing national consciousness in the mud huts and shanty-towns, but instead the stiff breeze of a new kind of Neocolonialism.

Already this year, we have seen significant events in three places: Sudan, Libya, and most recently Ivory Coast, where the country’s President, Laurent Gbagbo was successfully removed from power with the active military participation of France and the United Nations. In these three cases we can see the emerging lineaments of a new modus operandi in Africa, one that secretly recognizes the limitations of African society, and under a false flag of humanitarian concern ruthlessly exploits what the continent has to offer.
