Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Lots of startling changes yesterday. Russia announced, apparently, a gold-backed or gold-related ruble. I haven’t had time to think about all the implications. Information is hard to come by, because the US blocks Russian news in order to control the Ukraine narrative and war propaganda. The Bretton Woods system collapsed when the West seized Russian central bank reserves, and it seems that the gold ruble adds to the end of the US dollar as world reserve currency under Bretton Woods. The implications could be vast, and the Washington idiots might very well wish they had left the Russians alone. I told them over and over that Russia had had enough of them, but the arrogant idiots didn’t listen. The sanctions, it seems, have brought about regime change in the West, reducing its power and influence.
Another big development is that apparently Ukraine has agreed to be a neutral country, no NATO, no foreign bases, no nuclear weapons, and accepts eastern Ukraine gong its own way. We will see if US puppet Zelensky is permitted to sign what Ukraine has agreed. Meanwhile, Russia has stopped its assault on Kiev, and is focused on clearing the remaining Nazi militias out of the Donbass region. I think the low-intelligence governments in Poland and Romania will get the message, and the US missile bases in those countries will be closed before too long.
These are major developments with many large implications. The World Economic Forum’s “reset” has likely been replaced by a Russian-Chinese reset.
The US ran on arrogance for so long that it has hollowed itself out. The Western world’s fate is unclear. It seems no one in intellectual, business, or political leadership positions believes in freedom and civil liberty. The US certainly is busy at work cancelling itself: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/more-than-600-places-in-the-us-will-remove-racist-slur-from-their-names-180979733/?utm_source=smithsoniandaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20220328-daily-responsive&spMailingID=46610751&spUserID=NzQwNDU0NzQ5NDMS1&spJobID=2203110357&spReportId=MjIwMzExMDM1NwS2
Present generations of Americans will not recognize their country. Rivers, mountains, streets, schools, public spaces, even towns are losing their names and acquiring new politically correct names. Normally, this is what outside conquerors do to a country, but we are doing it to ourselves. A country that destroys its own monuments and history is lost.
My conclusion is that the days of the West are over. The West is drowning in accumulated mistakes and degeneracy. The moral fiber in the leadership ranks is gone.

“The World Economic Forum’s “reset” has likely been replaced by a Russian-Chinese reset.”
It was always about destroying the dollar, thus the West. WEF wins again.
“this is what outside conquerors do to a country, but we are doing it to ourselves.”
No, we are not doing this to ourselves. Globohomoschlomo’s capture of all government via beast system money and foreign invasion are the alien vehicle with which our country is being transformed into something older American no longer recognize.
We were conquered by psychological warfare.
Yeah, globohomo wins when they lose their global currency that they used to force gay pride parades on everyone else. You’re not absolutely retarded or anything.
Money, in particular credit money is what central banks say it is. If you’re too stupid to understand this simple truth , then I’m sorry for you.
No, fiat money only has value if you can buy things with it…If the people selling us energy, chips, manufactures, and vital raw materials stop accepting Fed-created dollars, we are toast…
No, Globohomo loses big time…no Drag Queen Story Hours in Russia or China…
The “west” whatever, that abstraction entails, was conquered from within and without. Good. But the good people who built the nations and did not consent to the colonization remain. It is up to this writer to help them organize their renaissance.
Compare our current situation of demise to a retired teacher, we lost our class.

Multipronged attack. War was declared on homogeny done by using guilt and altruism against us.
The Deep State plan in the 1990s was to turn Russia into another puppet State who would sell us its vast resources for pennies..That failed because Putin rallied the country, and encouraged development of technical education ,advanced technology and farming…Thanks to our idiot sanctions, Russia even became a major wheat exporter..Now Russia not only has the biggest resource base of energy and raw materials in the world, it has the weapons to defend those resources…And we have turned them into an enemy, when they wanted to be a friend…
“The Deep State plan in the 1990s was to turn Russia into another puppet State”
Thats always been the MO. Eventually something escapes the clutches of the grasping class though and voila’. The new nemesis, the next big thing.
History will look back on us as we do the Romans, or Spanish, or Britsh Empires, only this time we might be around to look with them.
In some ways it saddens me. I love the country I grew up in, but it’s not that now.
Men go and come, but Earth abides.
PCR, Amen and Amen. This successful challenge to the great reset will likely be to the long term benefit of mankind, but unfortunately the detriment of ‘Murikind.
The days of the United States are probably over but I would hesitate to say the days of the west are over. China is already showing signs of decay ( such as a demographic problem far worse than the western nations as one example). The future is still wide open. However both the political leaders, and general population, of the United States seem to have become completely irrational. Their day as world leaders is over.
America has been corrupt for a very long time.The chief difference is American politicians used to be bought or rented by other Americans.
Russia has gold…..lots of it. All the US has is an empty vault at Fort Knox.
