I just finished reading Michael Hudson's Killing the Host: how
financial parasites and debt bondage destroy the global economy . It's
from 2015 so it leaves out some important European developments though

real disclosure is occurring about both the Roswell “UFO” incident and
anti-gravity technology. The two links below were
Once again the world faces a long hot summer of discontent, with the
major action likely to be in Europe and East Asia this year. The EU is
likely to experience regime change due to popular anger as warm weather

The old regime in the U.S. and Europe is collapsing in a way that is
now becoming obvious even to the most brainwashed and illiterate
Westerners. This collapse ultimately stems from the social instability
cause by extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a very small
clique of closely interbred oligarchs now known as the Khazarian mafia.
