Dr. Zeno Leoni discusses the U.S.-China inter-imperial rivalry using Marxist-Leninist imperial theory. As the liberal international order no longer serves the U.S., America will find it more difficult to engage with the world as we enter a phase of transition. The two are crucial partners and strategic enemies. China has a selective approach to globalization, opening itself up where and when it is convenient and only in the areas it is strong. Washington has expected Beijing to democratize, which hasn’t happened. In terms of industry and technology, the West is playing a dangerous game by trying to imitate some of…

James Poulos talks about his new book “Human Forever” and the undeclared digital war of intelligence and databases against databases where civilization states are racing to figure out how to maintain power as we transition to the Digital Age. The U.S. regime is one which has consolidated its power (e.g. government, finance, media) over the past few decades, convinced that these digital entities would consummate their benevolent global rule and allow them to terraform the deplorables of society. Though China and the U.S. have Social Credit Systems up and running, the people in charge in the West believe in a…

Kit Klarenberg discusses the latest ICIJ “Pandora Papers” leak and how they are part of the larger information war between the great powers. The ICIJ is funded by the usual suspects (e.g. Ford Foundation, Open Society) and its leaks primarily target the enemies of Washington and Brussels, rarely if ever revealing dirt on American or Western European officials. Revealingly, back in June of 2021 right before the leaks, the White House held a press conference saying it would place the anti-corruption fight at the center of its foreign policy. Kit also talks about why Russia and China don’t really play…

Venezuelan-American political operative Jose Niño returns to Geopolitics & Empire to give his take on the U.S. border security situation and mass influx of Afghan refugees and Haitian migrants. He believes migration is being weaponized and serves the globalist ideology of the Biden Administration and Democratic Party as it creates an electoral pipeline and augments the power of the managerial state. It also serves the bipartisan oligarchy that seeks cheap labor. He explains why he thinks an “immigration moratorium” is in order and touches on Florida and Texas policies which he sees as “policy ghettoization” or decentralization, where states are…

Host and producer Michael Parker discusses the censorship of information, the media-state partnership, and woke culture. He talks about 9/11 and his work with Dylan Avery, who produced the first internet blockbuster “Loose Change: 9/11” and the upcoming “Unspeakable”, for which Michael wrote music. He gives his view on where he thinks the United States is headed, why he thinks America is in “societal freefall” and a “controlled collapse”, likely hyperinflation, the Afghanistan debacle, and war with China. We discuss the Great Reset and whether China is onboard or has turned on the elites. Watch On BitChute / Brighteon /…

Professor Jeremy Garlick provides his informed analysis on China’s Belt & Road (BRI) and why he believes it is the main game in town in terms of a coordinated strategy to transform global affairs given that the other contenders in the global ‘great game’ of the 21st century (US, EU, Russia, Japan, India) have not managed to present coherent visions of how the international order should develop. However, he does feel the initial vision of BRI has been blunted by a set of failings and badly planned projects. He also discusses the idea that BRI may have inadvertently been a…

ECFR Director Mark Leonard discusses his new book “Age of Unpeace” and why having an open, globalized, “one-world” of connectivity is actually the source of problems today and how issues that bring us together (e.g. internet, migration, economy, health, climate) are being weaponized and providing new platforms for countries to hurt each other. The three empires of connectivity (U.S., China, EU) will define the new global order which in turn will impact the “fourth world”. He examines the U.S.-China relationship and how they are becoming ‘mimetic doubles’ of each other and converging, with the threat of the West becoming more…

Alex Krainer discusses how Afghanistan signals the American Empire’s loss of hegemony over Mackinder’s “World Island” and everywhere else (e.g. Ukraine, Syria, Iraq), the game is up. He believes that Beijing had initially been propped up by Western elites, but given the recent turn against China by George Soros and Co., the CCP mislead and is now abandoning the global elites. They have not forgotten the Century of Humiliation. The economic fallout of U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan could mean equity and bond bubbles bursting, upward pressure on commodity prices, and high rates of inflation in the American financial system. He…

IR scholar Artyom Lukin talks about Climate Change in Russia and how the decline of American hegemony has become a moot point as the real question is what will replace it. He believes we are entering a prolonged period of US-China bipolarity with Russia as a second tier power, and the potential for a multipolar world down the road. The difficulty in analyzing Beijing is that China is completely non-transparent to outside observers, a “black box”. No one, including the Russians, really understands what China wants. He also discusses why he and others think the world has entered an era…
