Premium Episode: The Japanese Stock Market Crash, Captain AnCap & The Legend Of El Dorado, The British Race Riots

The bears are coming. As Japan posts the biggest one day stock market losses since Black Monday, we’re asking whether this dip is a passing blip – or the big ka-blam?

Meanwhile, Argentina’s reserves include almost two million ounces of gold, valued at $4.5 billion. But lately, there’s a question that’s on everybody’s lips: where is it?

The gold seems to have been transferred out of the country. But why, no one can say.

Is this some sublime economic master-stroke from the wacky professor Milei? Or just the equivalent of a desperate gambler taking his wife’s gold rings up to the pawn shop?

Finally, in a subscriber-only super-section, we’ll be covering the British race riots.

The events of the past few days have shaken the British establishment to its core. With no clear narrative, and an increasingly balkanised society, the country’s leaders now seem clueless and visibly scared, as they face down the fruits of eighty years of immigration policy failure.

For our Patrons, we’ll be taking the long view - tracing the history of British immigration; then extending into the far future - looking at the demographic realities of the UK from here on out. And, of course, we’ll be hashing through the story of the day.

What can an already wobbling Starmer regime do in the face of the tectonic forces being unleashed?

Be warned, this one’s a black pill so big it might be a black suppository.
