EvoCapital CEO, macro specialist, and geopolitics commentator Nicholas Glinsman covers the waterfront. He touches on Latin America and how it's sold itself to China, vaccine logistics, how the vaccine passport is the social credit system, and how he thinks governments may not let go of the emergency public health powers they've awarded themselves. He gives his thoughts on the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, CBDCs, and how the U.S. could maintain its financial weapon of mass destruction (dollar as world reserve). He discusses the Biden administration, Biden's propensity to "f-things up" (according to Obama), the Afghan debacle, and the midterm elections. He looks at whether the Fed will do QT or QE, and the road to Japanification, stagflation, and hyperinflation. He also comments on the Taiwan situation and how the rise of China has been overhyped. He sees commodities as the big macro trade.

About Ben Massmann
My name is Ben Massmann. I am an Architect and Engineer from Texas working to design and build a distinctive family and business oriented community in the highlands of Panama.
I obtained my Architectural and Engineering degrees from Texas Tech University in 2001. I became a licensed Architect and started my own Architectural and Engineering services company in 2006.
Some years ago, as a Christian father of five, I prayerfully decided to look for a family friendly land of opportunity. Characteristics for consideration while evaluating a great location to live included climate, geography, economy, culture, government, infrastructure, cost of living, business opportunities, homeschool families, resident visa requirements, and future potential.
Since moving to Volcan we have been enjoying the people, the weather, and the views. We have quickly developed new friendships as families are willing to help each other and often have to rely on each other. Many in the area have gone through similar adjustments and struggles, which helps people from diverse backgrounds bond together.
Contact us to discover why families are moving to Corazón del Cielo.

Dr. Robert Epstein discusses his groundbreaking work confirming President Eisenhower's prophetic speech in his 1961 farewell address warning of the rise of a technological elite that could rule the government in an undetectable fashion, what some call friendly fascism, totalitarian democracy, technocracy, or unseen dictatorship.
His research demonstrates how Google and Big Tech can invisibly shift tens of millions of votes in elections in the U.S. and around the world. He fears for his own personal safety because of the power that Google not only wields but exercises.
He thinks 2020 will be a turning point which will determine whether nations retain their democracies or whether we'll see a sweep of candidates put in office by Big Tech companies that could lead us toward a Chinese-style dystopian system shaped by "social credits" or other such totalitarian elements. (Originally published February 22, 2020).

Dr. Kovačević and I discuss the current geopolitics of the Balkans, the strategy of US-NATO-EU towards the region and we examine country by country, including Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia, how they are managing to keep the former Yugoslavia under their control. Sparks of resistance do exist in the Greek Syriza as well as one anti-imperialist Croatian former presidential candidate who came out of nowhere and won 16.5% of the vote.

Dr. Mark Sircus discusses how the health responses to COVID-19 by authorities such as the CDC, WHO, Big Pharma, and national governments have amounted to medical terrorism. He discusses simple and affordable treatments and talks about the dangers of the COVID "vaccine". He reveals his fears of the nightmare scenario the whole human race is going into as the lies surrounding the pandemic have accelerated the collapse of the economy and we are pushed into "The Great Reset" or "Fourth Reich"...a dystopia he has been predicting for 20 years. He also begs the question if it is cold enough yet to destroy the global warming narrative as multiple temperature records are now being broken all across the planet. We also cover censorship and what are some things people can do in light of the challenges we face. (Originally published February 16, 2021).
