The cat is out of the bag, Junseth is in the know about our hijacking of the channel. But it's okay. We've reached a concord. We are going to share the channel! And, as soon as we can muster it, Junseth and I will be back with a new episode. As usual, Izabella Kaminska and Dario Garcia Giner take you through last week's newsletter and preview this week's content. The newsletter recap focuses on: A tale of two Chinas, Revolution theory and the resilience of capitalism vs command structures. The preview focuses on what's going on in France, both politically and economically; why the Truss mini-budget drama is now being used against the French right; why the internet got the wrong take on the petrodollar; and Izzy gives a brief preview of her explainer of the BoE's newest and arguably most important tool: The short-term repo facility. Do provide us with feedback and if you liked the podcast like and subscribe and share. Yadda yadda. It really helps us. Disclaimer: This week's broadcast features some wild and *speculative* geopolitical theories. (Not to be confused with facts)

Izzy and Dario are still stealthily hijacking the Blind Spot Podcast channel without Junseth's knowledge in a bid to start a new thing. Keep the feedback coming. And be kind. We know we're amateurs. In today's episode we discuss what Putin thinks of long-range missiles,Carthago delenda est, the state of exception, Europe's shift to the right and who exactly is the Netherland's new PM. Also, the petrodollar's 50th anniversary and Reform's rise. Our sneak peek into this weekend's newsletter includes ... on Dario's radar: Tiananmen Square and why the last thing the West needs is democracy in China, an update on the Red Sea, and why Roaring Kitty might just be a billionaire. On Izzy's radar: Jensen Huang, Fauci drama, Epoch Times and Ayaan Hirsi's subversion column. For more see the-blindspot.com

Izabella Kaminska and Dario Garcia Giner have hijacked this channel to run through the Blind Spot Newsletter's top stories from last week and related analyses in this EXPERIMENTAL EXERCISE to establish best practices for a synopsis show. We welcome feedback, but only if it's constructive as we know this is all a bit crap and unprofessional at the moment and ultimately we are a bit sensitive.   Shhhh... don't tell Junseth as Izzy hasn't told him yet.

Junseth and Izzy run through the latest media news including the defection of Matt Taibbi from Twitter; the Discord Leaks and the prospect of digital CBDC FX controls.

Martin Armstrong pops in to tell us his story, including how he developed his Socrates trading algorithm which predicted the Russian financial crisis of 1998 as well as the details behind the circumstances that found him in contempt of court and thus incarcerated for 11 years. The interview starts about halfway into the podcast.
