China's Digital RMB: Strong Momentum in Energy Transactions?
In this video, I dive into the growing momentum of China's Digital RMB & its potential impact on energy transactions. Recently, China made headlines with its first-ever oil transaction using Digital RMB, signaling a significant step forward in the implementation of this groundbreaking digital currency. According to the country's central bank governor Yi Gang, transactions utilizing China's digital Yuan reached a staggering 1.8 trillion yuan ($249.33 billion) by the end of June. This remarkable increase from just over 100 billion yuan in August last year solidifies China's role as a frontrunner in developing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) globally. While adoption is still in its early stages, the e-CNY, as the digital yuan is referred to, has predominantly been utilized for domestic retail payments.
The rise of China's Digital RMB cannot be underestimated, particularly in a world where countries are increasingly seeking alternatives to circumvent the US's frequent use of sanctions. As China's implementation of digital currency accelerates, it is progressively energizing global transactions. The continued growth & utilization of the Digital RMB may potentially reshape the dynamics of energy transactions globally.
Join me as I explore the driving forces behind China's Digital RMB and its implications for global energy transactions. Stay informed & gain valuable insights into the changing landscape of international currencies. Don't miss out on this crucial discussion!

NATO's Dangerous Game!!!
Original Release Date: Oct 20, 2022
It is widely acknowledged that U.S. & NATO officers are now fully involved in Ukraine’s operational war planning, aided by a broad range of US intelligence gathering & analysis to exploit Russia’s military vulnerabilities, while Ukrainian forces are armed with US & NATO weapons & trained up to the standards of other NATO countries (an exaggerated assessment in my view).
One thing is sure: Let’s start by stating the obvious: the Cold War never ended. The West needs to reconsider its claim that it “Won the Cold War.” Evidence to the contrary: The annexation of Crimea & the four eastern regions on Ukraine proved that the Cold War is back, and the West should not pretend otherwise.

Europe is Divided as Energy Crisis Worsens!
Macron’s France publicly criticizes Scholz Germany, reveals signs of disagreement with European neighbor. The truth is that the call for a European Union (EU) gas price cap, which Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary & Denmark have opposed, comes as the 27-nation EU is scrambling for a joint response to the unfolding cost-of-living crisis, caused by the collapse of Russian gas deliveries in retaliation for the EU's support for Ukraine.
One thing is sure: Europe is coming to grip with the reality of its failed policies…

The UK: In a Meltdown & Soon Collapse!!
Original Release Date: Oct 24, 2022
Although she has only spent 44 days as PM, Liz Truss has caused losses to her country's economy that could take years to reform, due to the floundering of her economic policies, which came at the wrong time, as the British economy was in its worst condition and could not withstand any shocks. The country's energy crisis, & record high electricity & gas bills, have put some 11 million British households in energy poverty (a category where households that devote 10% of their expenses to energy bills are placed).
One thing is sure: UK is about to be bankrupt!!

What Russia & Saudi Arabia Agreed to Will Shock the US!
Biden admin has threatened to punish SA for agreeing to cutting oil production by 2m/b/d. But The decision was not SA’s alone, but rather jointly announced by OPEC+ including Russia & Venezuela. For SA, which has long relied on U.S. military support through “energy for security,” this underscores SA’s new confidence that it can shake off U.S. pressure and act in line with its own commercial and diplomatic interests.
The alarm clock is set for a wakeup call to truly place this relationship under the microscope of reality which is leading to the conclusion that even long-lasting relationships will eventually come to an end, sooner or later.

UAE Ditches the US & Steps-Up Energy Ties w/ Russia!!!
A week after OPEC+ defied Western hopes and announced an output cut of 2 million barrels per day, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, will visit Russia on Tuesday for bilateral talks. The UAE, which has not imposed sanctions on Russia, even abstained from a U.S.-drafted resolution submitted the day after the Russian invasion, justifying the move by saying, "taking sides will only lead to more violence."
One thing is sure: US partners in the Middle East are reconsidering their options!!

Russia Strikes Ukraine as Putin Warns the West!!!
Original Release Date: Oct 12, 2022
Following Ukraine’s attack on a major bridge in Crimea set the course of the Ukraine war on a much tenser trajectory. Russian revenge spreads fear & messages. The atmosphere of heavy war returns to Kiev and the cities of Ukraine.
One thing is sure: While Russia justifies this large-scale intensive bombardment as a "retaliatory measure" after accusing Ukraine's state security service of blowing up the "Crimean Bridge," Ukrainians see it as carrying many messages at home & abroad.

Are Germany & EU About to FREEZE??
Original Release Date: October 10, 2022
Germany’s decision to sell arms to Saudi Arabia baffled many analysts given the current energy crisis in Germany – and Europe for that matter. Germany, reliant on Russian gas for its energy needs has been particularly hard hit hard by Moscow’s decision to halt gas in retaliation for Western sanctions over its war in Ukraine.
Mr. Scholz has defended his plan – mainly new government borrowings of €200 billion ($306 billion) – to protect Germany’s economy from soaring energy bills as fair and proportionate.
One thing is sure: Scholz has proven to be a weak leader and most Germans are disappointed at his performance.

Israel’s IDF Fears Hezbollah the Most! A Win-Win for Hezbollah!
Many in Israel see Hezbollah as a greater threat than Hamas and fear a new war in Lebanon to be inevitable. This explains why almost 400K Israelis left Israel recently to avoid what lies ahead.
This comes on the heels of Hezbollah mounting attacks on 10 Israeli military sites off the southern border.
Join me live 12/18/23 @ 13:00PM (CST) as I provide you with my assessment and more details about what is really going on in Southern Lebanon. Information mainstream media is trying to suppress so you’ll not be informed.

Israel is Losing the War!!
It has been reported by some estimates, according to Al-Jazeera, that if the war extends for few about 6-8 months, Israel could lose between $51B-$60b. Mind you that Israel survival depends entirely on the US. And while Israel's survival depends on the support of the US, international opinion is shifting. People around the world are becoming aware of the humanitarian and economic consequences of this unresolved conflict.
On the other hand, Palestinians are facing economic devastation as well. Their already fragile economy is being further shattered by the conflict. Jobs are lost, businesses are destroyed, and countless families are trapped in a cycle of poverty. It is time to realize that war is not the solution. It only perpetuates suffering and exacerbates the economic challenges faced by both Israelis and Palestinians.
