New World Disorder is unfolding as Europe fractures due to skyrocketing energy costs.
New World Disorder
October 12 (King World News) – Gerald Celente: Alexander De Croo, the Prime Minister of Belgium, said in an interview last week that there is a great concern of civil unrest breaking out across Europe due to the dramatic surge in energy prices and their impact on the average European.
And it is only likely to get worse.
De Croo told the Financial Times that, unless the EU intervenes on the gas markets, EU member states will likely face a “massive deindustrialization” period and that the “long-term consequences of that might actually be very deep.”
Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, said last week that European gas storage tanks are about 90 percent full, which is encouraging, but not without risk if this winter is particularly cold or long. He said there’s a chance that these countries could be in for “bruises” along the way. The EU’s gas supply also seems to be up in the air given that Russia has largely cut off gas supplies to the continent.
“Next year, if Chinese gas imports increase with the Chinese economy coming back, it will be [a] rather difficult few months starting from March to next winter,” he said, according to CNBC. “So this winter is difficult, but next winter may also be very difficult as well.”.......more

When I first moved to New York, I walked into my new dentist’s office and genuinely wondered whether I’d accidentally wandered into a Victoria’s Secret audition.
The waiting room was full of stunning young women. Eventually I learned the dentist shared space with a modeling agency. You couldn’t tell who was getting veneers and who was getting a contract until you were halfway down the hallway.
Jeffrey Epstein’s life operated on the same architectural principle: two businesses shoved into one building, one involving underaged girls, the other involving powerful political figures, including some tied to the Israeli government. Not exactly whitening trays and catwalks, but equally disorienting.

The bloc wants to use the funds to back a “reparation loan” to Ukraine
US officials want the EU to return Russia’s frozen assets once it signs a peace deal with Ukraine, contradicting the bloc's plans to use them to finance Kiev, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing diplomats.
EU leaders want to issue a €140 billion ($160 billion) “reparations loan” to Kiev using frozen Russian funds as collateral, despite opposition from bloc member Belgium, which has repeatedly warned that the scheme carries financial and legal risks.
According to the outlet, American officials told the EU’s sanctions envoy, David O’Sullivan, during a visit to Washington this summer that they planned to return Russia’s frozen assets after a peace treaty is concluded.
Under the purported US 28-point peace plan leaked to media in November, $100 billion in frozen Russian assets would be invested in American-led “efforts to rebuild.....more below
Paris has authorized the use of private military companies to provide assistance to third countries, the SVR noted
France is still exploring ways to directly involve itself in the Ukraine conflict, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said, citing a new government decree that authorizes the use of private military companies to assist foreign states engaged in armed conflict.
The agency claimed there is little ambiguity about which country France has in mind, given its sustained backing of Kiev. It argued that Ukraine’s mobile air-defense units and limited Western aircraft cannot fully counter Russian strikes, and that operating French-made Mirage fighter jets and other advanced systems requires expertise Ukraine does not possess.
The SVR stressed that the presence of French private military companies in Ukraine under the guise of “reference operators” would be regarded by Moscow as direct engagement by Paris in hostilities. It has also warned that such personnel ...
