The Weblog
This page contains news, event information, and other items added by Ian and Adam, the resident farmers at Old 99. We send out a message every week, but most are set with a delete date about two weeks later. I archive some of the posts if they have content other than weekly availability of produce and meat.
You can send me questions too, which if they are of a general nature, I can post to this Old99 blog.
Geopolitics explained like it should be
The Old99 Locallygrown list is the largest list of contacts I have at my fingertips.
You will likely say fine, but keep it to vegetables or at least food.
I insist that the following links need to be read and listened to by all who care about the future.
First
Jeffrey Sachs, Harvard professor, international diplomat, economist with probably the smartest and most accurate assessment of the Ukraine war, and American foreign policy more broadly, ever caught on tape.
(20:17) Why did America push for Ukraine to Join NATO?
(58:34) What is a Neocon?
(1:25:28) Regime Change Never Works
(1:36:27) Who Blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline?
(2:01:45) COVID Origins
Second,
Art Berman, career oil/gas analyst and energy policy expert is interviewed on PlanetCritical examines the piece that Sachs and Carlson leave out: War to control Energy Supply.
Whoever controls the energy supply controls the new world order.
Russia and China are deepening their relationship, Western allies in the Middle East are joining the fossil-fuelled BRICS alliance spanning the globe, and the Wagner group is loosening Europe’s grip of Africa. The tectonic plates of geopolitics are shifting along new fault lines as rising powers focus on securing resources while the old Empire in the West pretends it can decouple economies and energy. The world is at war, but only one side is being honest about what for.
