His commencement address to the graduating class at the University of Southern California is dubbed Arnold Schwarzenegger’s six rules of Success.

ANOTHER ARAB SPRING IN MAKING

Arab Spring, in 2010, started in Tunisia and spread from there. There was a shortage of wheat, which triggered the protests. There were underlying problems in these societies, but a food crisis was the catalyst for the protests. Now, many poorer countries in the Middle East and Africa are facing a much greater crisis as the impact of shortages manifests itself later this year and into next year.

Is The U.S. Trying To Destroy The Dollar?

The U.S./ IMF just demonstrated to the entire world that it has the willingness and power to smash the ability of a world superpower to do anything useful with its foreign reserves. They can all be made worthless based on a political decision. The decision to cut offthe Russian central bank’s access to $630 billion of foreign reserves has truly shaken the globe. Most of that is held in Special Drawing Rights, a unit of account maintained by the IMF as a claim on hard currencies, which means mostly dollars. Jeffrey Tucker says that a sudden decision to disable that access tremendously devalues the dollar as a store of value for central banks around the world. The implications could be devastating for the dollar as the de facto worldreserve currency.

How Elites Destroyed a Possible U.S.-Russia Alliance

Russia is the nation that the U.S. should have tried to court. That’s because China is the greatest geopolitical threat to the U.S. because of its economic and technological advances and its ambition to push the U.S. out of the Western Pacific sphere.

But the elites’ never wanted and seized on this to concoct a story of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. So it became politically toxic for Trump to reach out to the Russians. It represents an enormous lost opportunity.
