Provocations began in 2003, accelerated in 2007, and then reached a peak in 2014 when American Victoria Nuland overthrew the elected government of Ukraine with US dollars, media, other assets...and the full backing of the US State Department and USAID.
Most of the media celebrated this. One outlier journalist wrote the following article a decade ago:
“Having masterminded the coup in February against the democratically elected government in Kiev, Washington's planned seizure of Russia's historic, legitimate warm-water naval base in Crimea failed. The Russians defended themselves, as they have done against every threat and invasion from the west for almost a century.
“But Nato's military encirclement has accelerated, along with US-orchestrated attacks on ethnic Russians in Ukraine. If Putin can be provoked into coming to their aid, his pre-ordained "pariah" role will justify a Nato-run guerrilla war that is likely to spill into Russia itself.” #JohnPilger https://theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/13/ukraine-us-war-russia-john-pilger…
The Florida legislature has begun to move legislation to enact their prior approval for gold and silver coins to be legal tender in Florida.
This legislation will exempt gold and silver coins from sales tax in Florida. It also means that within Florida, there will be a means of payment independent of digital money created by governments for the purpose of controlling the population, it’s behavior, and it’s expressed views, in order that governments can rule via official narratives.
As other states follow suit, interstate transactions can be executed in gold.
That's China's vision, objective and immediate goal. They have the leverage to make it happen.
Summary of Xi's January 2026 announcement:
"It's a sweeping vision for building a global financial power organized around socialist principles, without the greed and without a financialization of the economy (what Xi calls 脱实向虚, “drifting from the real economy into the virtual”).

This 55-year-old patient underwent:
40+ emergency department visits
200+ specialist evaluations across 18 medical disciplines
100+ advanced laboratory investigations
100+ imaging and functional studies
Across multiple biospecimens (plasma, circulating exosomes, PBMCs, and skin tissue) and multiple independent laboratories, we detected:
Vaccine-derived spike mRNA sequences in circulating exosomes more than 3.5 years after the final injection
Plasmid DNA elements (including spike gene sequences, ori regions, and SV40 enhancer sequences) in skin tissue
Persistent spike protein in plasma, exosomes, monocyte subsets, and skin tissue. Here's the paper:
