The new decade is witnessing rising volatility across global systems. Wherever one looks, there are dark clouds gathering on a global horizon marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). This paper looks at the cascade of interconnected risks that are emerging across the...
If Covid-19 has been a boon for anyone, that would be Big Business and Big Tech – overblowing fears, widening the wealth gap and facilitating global control through all-powerful technology the world now depends on.

In October 2019, a pandemic simulation exercise called Event 201 – a collaborative effort between Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – concluded that a hypothetical new coronavirus may end up killing at least 65 million people...
This is not cricket or the Line of Control. Both nations are being suckered by the global pharmaceutical lobbies. We are both equal losers if we allow this admittedly virulent flu strain to destroy our economies. We cope with new flu strains, not locked our entire societies based on fear...
That's actually a moot point. I have personally sourced items from China even during the fag-end of the COVID-19 pandemic there while industries elsewhere closed down.
However, these products need a global market for Chinese factories to be sustainable and those markets are shrinking. All that...
The problem is not the supply chain per se but another Great Depression, also called the Greater Depression nowadays. Many Chinese factories might fold along with companies that make finished products elsewhere. Therefore, it makes better sense to start sourcing important products internally or...

The Case for Regionalism in a Post-Coronavirus World
COVID-19 has exposed the myopia and fragility underlying our worldwide supply chains. The first order of business, therefore, should be in ensuring the integrity of critical supply chains. Elected officials cannot play dice with basic...
It is highly doubtful that India will succeed here. Even the literal nuts and bolts which India once produced in copious quantities have been nudged out by cheaper Chinese imports.
The immediate problem for Beijing is that global markets are shrinking due to the onset of the Greater Depression. The Belt and Road makes little geo-economic sense at the moment, esp since there are lots of merchant vessels bound to be idle.
You will find Bill Gates mentioned in just about any project involving vaccination and eugenics anywhere in the world. If he were to unleash a viral outbreak in Pakistan or anywhere else in the Islamic world, he can rely on Malala Yousafzai (whom Gates assiduously promotes) to act as the...
The novel coronavirus was not germinated in a vacuum. The type of research conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had ominous analogues worldwide. These included the quest for super intelligence and the development of interspecies hybrids or chimeras...
If it is scientifically proven, why do we need a child activist? Are adults that stupid? Furthermore, her attacks against President Macron was unwarranted as France was the key mover behind the Paris climate accords.
And here is an excellent brief analysis of the issue
