Geopolitical Economy Report

Ben Norton gives a good perspective on world issues that the mainstream narrative doesn’t tell you. All his content is backed up by credible sources!

… really know the history of Taiwan (or its current politics) China ceded Taiwan in the treaty of Maguan in 1895 - sacrificed Taiwan. Remember, Taiwan, aka ROC was the China until US decided to recognize PRC in 1971 so US can exploit it. Taiwan sometimes loses a country, but other times gain one, like Lithuania in 2021. Honduras is not a “key” ally. Taiwanese people aren’t losing any sleep over Honduras. (Widely reported that Honduras asked Taiwan for 2.5 billion$ in aid. Who wants them?). I thought Mr Norton is just anti-imperialist. No, he is also anti-democracy. There was a period of White Terror in Taiwan but that doesn’t make it less of a democracy today.

One of the best internationally focused reporters, several years now and I’m still ready what Ben writes and listening to what he says. World news, generally focused on the global south. Break downs of news as it happens, Journalists who know what they are talking about and a window into what is happening outside of the western lens. Worth trying at the very least.

There are no flies on Benjamin Norton or this podcast. The reality is, I listen to everyone I can until the bull becomes obvious, but this is one of two podcasts, in my estimation, where ego and agenda appear to be absent. Brilliant research, straight goods.
