In regard to the ongoing ripples of cause and effect from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia I try to explain the after effects that we will all experience when the US losses its hedgemony. I'll start with the PetroDollar. What it is and how it got to be and bring us up to date with the Chinese CIPS alternative to the SWIFT financial transfer systems and for the fucking craic , because by god , I needed it. Who was St Patrick? A fundamental lunatic? Without a doubt but so so much less. A prick who drove paganism (the snakes) out of Ireland and for that I'll never forgive him.
