"War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means."
-Carl von Clausewitz.

Bankers are always the most involved but the least visible in every conflict or war. Those who control the supply of money as credit control everything.

A handful of EU leaders following their US minders just as rats followed the tune played by the Pied Piper reminds me of the role of central banks in unison around the world following one another, doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. The definition of insanity.

Alasdair Macleod quoted below, has made the case for the European project and it's currency to be soon defunct, and this was on the cards long before the sanctions against Russia. These, and the greenwash of political parties has accelerated the process to such an extent as to be visible in real time. The daily headlines speak to the banquet of consequences.

"The political and monetary evolution of a post-euro Europe will not be determined solely by endogenous events. There is a similar but less complex crisis evolving in Japan, equally leading to a failing yen mirroring the euro. And both the Fed and the Bank of England are desperately hoping that bond yields won't overtake their feeble attempts to crush demand by raising interest rates. Either way, raising rates or not, the expansion of credit has been slowed too late. Inflation is here to stay. And the smart money will soon stampede into commodities and metals. Leaving the hyperinflated Bond, Stock, and Property markets to find a bottom somewhere near the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.

Hope is the most impotent tool of all, and central banks are all out of those other useless tools.The timing of converging and separate crises in the EU, Japan, the UK, and the US is guesswork, but they all have commonalities.

"The most notable is that the suppression of interest rates and government bond yields by the major central banks has come to an end."

In other words the central banks are out of "tools" and must pay the piper. This time *is* different. It's called "inflate *and* die."
