Mariana Mazzucato’s new book setting out the case for ‘managed capitalism’ fails to address the risks of government over-reach identified by Friedrich Hayek (who isn’t even in the index), says Dr Tilak Doshi.

Some will question its credibility – but the alternative future to the one imagined in the Global Justice Report is far more bleak

• ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: academics set out sweeping vision for planetary survival

In our increasingly dystopian world, who wouldn’t want to at least be open to a utopian antidote? The Global Justice Report, published on Thursday, outlines how to build a prosperous, equitable world within safe planetary boundaries. It’s a push from the modern eco-socialist left in a global battle for ideas that will shape the future.

Based on past social achievements and future energy transformation, it indicates that the overwhelming majority of people on the planet could, by the end of the century, work less and earn more – while keeping temperatures down and avoiding much of the current destruction of nature. It is an ambitious, comprehensive and upbeat plan, and a stronger argument around which to build a political campaign than abstract goals of net zero or decarbonisation.

The Federal Reserve has now stopped quantitative tightening (QT), and moved to credit creation, quantitative easing (QE) once again. This signals global expansion of war as the only hope against the desperate condition of global finances, leading to a great depression.

Agenda 2030 mission goals? First is a digital ID, to get everyone signed up to the universal blockchain. That is equal to the mark of the beast system of total control. Second is elimination of all cash and the implementation of digital programmable centralised currencies (CBDCs). Resist it all!

The current bull run for gold and silver began in early 2024, with projections suggesting gold could reach $4800/oz and silver $60/oz by the end of 2026. Analyzing historical data, silver appears significantly undervalued and offers a strong buying opportunity, as evidenced by its recent price surge past $41.

Recent conflicts between Israel and Iran, backed by the US, threaten global stability. Concerns arise over escalating warfare and its economic impact, especially on oil prices and currency values, leading to potential skyrocketing gold and silver prices.

The emergence of a global government driven by technocracy, through UN Agenda 2030 with digital currencies and IDs is coming quickly. I highlight the role of the Satanic oligarchs from the synagogue of Satan. However only faith in Jesus Christ can repel the darkness.

Louis Christopher, an Australian businessman, received an alarming email from CBA demanding personal financial details under threats of account suspension, citing the regulatory body Austrac. He condemns this "authoritarian" measure as a move towards a cashless society and warns of the potential loss of freedoms, linking it to broader globalist agendas.

The Federal Reserve system underpins global currencies, serving as a private banking cartel that perpetuates debt. Critics view this as a scheme that risks public assets during financial crises while privatizing profits. David Rogers Webb’s work warns of potential financial collapses, suggesting banks may again seize deposits, reinforcing a cycle of economic control.

Since President Trump's tariff announcement on April 2, 2025, global stock markets have declined, while gold emerged as a safe haven, still rising 14.5% in the past 3 months despite overall market losses, challenging its "pet rock" label.

Global stock markets faced a significant crash on Thursday and Friday, with the Dow dropping 2,200 points and the S&P 500 losing 10% in two days due to Trump's tariffs. This event highlights historical wealth manipulation by financial elites, ongoing since ancient times, emphasizing the importance of true riches found in faith.

The current trends indicate a significant rise in the price of gold, particularly in Australian dollars. Analysis of gold prices reveals historical patterns and signals that a potential bull market began in March 2024. Could this be the 'moon shot' we’ve been waiting for?

The analysis of the gold-to-silver price ratio reveals a significant "Trump Effect," noted after the November 2024 election, indicating a correlation between rising ratios and impending recessions. Updated data shows that the "velocity" of this ratio suggests an approaching major depression, supported by historical trends.

In 2024, AI stock market trading surged, prompting speculation about the Dow Jones Industrial Average's future. Historical analysis suggests a significant market crash is imminent in 2025, as trends show decreasing intervals between rapid declines, indicating a looming financial crisis.

The US National Debt suggests a potential financial crisis in July 2025, based on historical debt trends linked to past crises. Analysis of the Monetary Base and gold prices indicates similar patterns to previous downturns. However, a third crisis is necessary for a reliable prediction of 2025.

Recently the US National Debt peaked at approximately $35.46 trillion, with a few notable rapid increases during financial crises. The debt's growth rate predicts another financial crisis by mid-2025 that could surpass previous crises. Preparations for significant economic challenges are advised.

The gold-to-silver price ratio serves as an indicator of economic instability, fluctuating significantly during recessions and major events such as the Great Depression and WWII. Recent data suggests a potential approaching Depression, highlighted by observed "velocity" changes in the ratio, particularly following the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Rafi Farber's predictions for gold and silver prices, based on historical exponential breakouts from the late 1970s, are shown. Following Trump's election, both metals saw significant price drops. But now they are back on trend tracking above initial predictions, with speculative upper bounds indicated for future movements.

I assert that true power lies with the unseen puppet masters, controlling both political parties and elections through financial influence. I connect contemporary struggles to biblical references, urging a focus on faith rather than earthly leaders like Trump.

The real uninflated prices of gold and silver (in 1959 dollars) have recently surpassed historical resistance lines, indicating significant upward potential. This might signal a moon shot soon as we approach the endgame and the death of dollar.
