Kontrarian Korner #103 - Brig. General Blaine Holt

Yesterday morning I had retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt on the podcast for the first time. I’m still getting used to Zoom, so this one was audio only. We talked about the competition for routes and resources among the elite factions, the incoming supply chain problems, and why the Trump administration needs some big wins in the next couple months. You can find Blaine at Dangerous Intellectuals, as well as on Substack and Twitter, and his article yesterday for Newsmax is definitely worth a read. Podcast Summary* How the supply chain disruptions in the Middle East will impact Africa, Europe, and the US. * The potential ripple effects for the US coming from California oil and gas supply chains.* Why we are seeing a fifth generation war play out, and the battlefields in the information space, supply chains, and financial and economic warfare.* Why the Trump administration is in the 9th inning as far as the legal and judicial situation in the US.* How the political establishment on both sides is trying to block Trump at every turn.* The potential for military involvement and tribunals.* The King of England’s recent visit to the US and what it signals.* Why Europe is in deep trouble and the future of NATO and the EU.* Why everyone should prepare for potential disruptions in the food supply chain, even here in the US.* Book Recommendation: Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm.Kontrarian Korner is a reader-supported publication.
