Die deutsche CEO-PR-Formel: Stellen im Land kürzen, dann AfD markieren
Von Thomas Kolbe Mo, 26. Januar 2026
SAP streicht Tausende Stellen in Deutschland und SAP-Chef Christian Klein warnt davor, dass die AfD „internationale Fachkräfte abschrecken“ könne. Der Effekt ist bequem: Der Jobabbau verschwindet hinter einer Nebelwand der politischen Debatte. Kritik am Konzern wird umgelenkt. Ein bei deutschen CEOs zunehmend beliebtes Modell.

Everything You Wanted to Know about Money but Were Afraid to Ask
09/05/2022 Thorsten Polleit
Introduction
With my talk, I would like to accomplish three goals:
First, I want to explain some sound and time-tested basics of monetary theory.
Second, I would like to point out why it is important to have a free market in money; that the battlefront of our time is not between, say, bitcoin, stable coins, gold, and silver, but between government-monopolized fiat monies and a free market in money.

Beware the Precedents You Set
By Gerry Nolan The Ron Paul Institute January 27, 2026
For three decades, Washington insisted that internal destabilization was not an act of war when applied abroad. It called it “civil society.” It is now discovering that precedents don’t ask permission to come home — and that shock is already visible on Minnesota’s streets.

Gold and Silver Explosion: Something Big Is Happening
By Brandon Smith Alt-Market.us January 27, 2026
In early 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic hysteria I noted that the covid panic seemed to perfectly coincide with the Federal Reserve’s acceleration of interest rates and and asset dumping. This trend, I argued, was a precursor to a Catch-22 scenario I have been warning about for some time.

Abschied der Provinz vom Parteienstaat
Von Peter Grimm • Der hohe Wahlgewinn eines AfD-Bürgermeisters in Altenberg wird beinahe schon routinemäßig vermeldet. Er ist aber Indikator für eine tiefergehende Veränderung: In den Kommunen vollzieht sich die Abkehr von den Parteien, die Bürger wählen offenbar nach anderen Kriterien, die ihnen besser passen.

Mark Carney’s Watershed Davos Speech Signals Elite Schism
Simplicius Jan 27, 2026
At the Davos forum recently, many waves were made by Western politicians turning away from the US and variously announcing pivots to China. One of the big MSM narrative takeaways was that Trump was ‘humiliated’ at the event by this reception from fed-up leaders.

Why Is Trump Causing His Own Downfall?
The White House seems to do everything possible to help the Republicans to lose their majorities in the midterm elections.
Trump’s tariff policies have guaranteed that prices for $3 Trillion in U.S. imports will rise by at least 10%. His energy policies have caused 6% price rises for electricity and gas.

Iran – Socrates & Geopolitics
Mr. Armstrong, you warned that Iran would face a crisis in February 2026. You also said Iran would enter a period of extreme conflict with the turning point in 2024. Now we have ships moving to Iran. Socrates has been showing a sharp rise in volatility beginning in February into September. I understand you are a trader and not a theoretical academic. Did you have any idea in creating Socrates that you not just disproved Random Walk Theory, but you created a system that does more than just forecast markets?

On the Failure of Constitutionalism Through the Ages: Norms, Emergencies, and the Administrative State
01/23/2026 Joseph Solis-Mullen
Classical liberals, as well as some libertarians, have long placed great faith in constitutions as instruments capable of restraining political power. Particularly following the Renaissance and Enlightenment, written constitutions began to be celebrated by limited government political theorists as rational devices designed to bind rulers, limit coercion, and protect liberty through clearly-enumerated rules.

Money, Civil & International War, Minneapolis, and Beyond—in Perspective
Ray Dalio, Founder of Bridgewater Associates January 26, 2026
For me, watching what is now happening is like watching a movie that I have seen many times in history. I am a global macro investor whose approach to betting on what is going to happen is to understand the mechanics of how things work by learning the lessons of history. I find that what is now happening has happened repeatedly for the same reasons and that understanding the cause/effect relationships has helped …………………..
