Dr. Jerome Corsi delivers a sweeping geopolitical and economic analysis as global power structures shift, the Ukraine war grinds toward an unresolved endgame, Europe edges toward civilizational crisis, U.S. cities descend into disorder, and gold and silver surge to historic levels.
Dr. Corsi explains why European leaders are resisting peace efforts in Ukraine despite mounting battlefield losses, and why he believes the war cannot end without catastrophic consequences unless Western funding is cut off. He warns that continued escalation risks dragging Europe into deeper economic collapse while accelerating the dismantling of NATO’s relevance. 
🔥 Ukraine, Russia & Europe’s Breaking Point
• Why European leadership rejected territorial concessions
• How continued funding may prolong the war indefinitely
• Why NATO’s original mission has collapsed
• Europe’s shrinking global GDP influence
• The growing risk of civilizational transformation across the continent
🔥 Mass Migration, Censorship & Cultural Breakdown
• Europe’s inability to control borders
• Expanding censorship laws in the U.K. and EU
• The collapse of national identity and free speech
• The rising tension between assimilation and separatism

🔥 U.S. Economic Shockwaves
• Gold near $4,216/oz
• Silver near $58.85/oz
• Housing market inventory collapsing as listings are pulled
• Inflation eroding purchasing power nationwide
🔥 Judicial Power, Elections & Federal Authority
• Judicial resistance to executive authority
• The growing struggle between the Presidency and the federal bureaucracy
• Renewed focus on voter roll integrity, deceased voters, and algorithmic vulnerabilities
• The looming legal and constitutional battles over election control
🔥 Middle East, South America & China
• Potential geopolitical escalation involving Venezuela
• Reshaping alliances across South America
• China’s expanding influence in the Southern Hemisphere
• The reconfiguration of global alignments now underwater
Dr. Corsi warns that the world is entering a historic realignment phase, where old alliances collapse, new power centers rise, and economic instability accelerates faster than most governments can respond.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Your angel course Nation Factor Drone Corsi, and today it
is Tuesday. It's a similar ninety five. Thank you for
joining us on Corsyanation dot com. We're doing podcasts every weekday.
The main story today, I think is the same as
it's been for the last few days. That is the

(00:23):
Ukraine War, which is not going to end, largely because
Zelenski wants to keep fighting. Zelensky can continue to get
support from the Europeans. He was yesterday in London visiting
with the Prime Minister of London, and Makron came over

(00:43):
and the head of Germany came on over and they
had a big pow wow, and they decided that despite
President Trump's twenty eight point piece plan which he wanted
to concede the territory of the dunboss to to Russia,
that said, no, no, we're not going to concede any territory.

(01:06):
We're going to fight to the end and we you know,
we're not going to give up any Ukrainian sovereignty to Russia,
which is a damn fool idea because Russias already got
the territory. I mean, let's look around. You know, you've
lost the eastern part of the country lost Crimea. Obama
did nothing to defend CRIMEA. That was I was fine

(01:30):
with Obama. Putin took CRIMEA. Of course Obama was working
for Putin. He was in the real Russian collusion was
Obama and Putin. And anybody would have a brain do that.
I just you know the famous on Mike commentator, off mic,
but picked up by a Mike that I would tell

(01:52):
tell Vladimir that in my second term, I'll have more flexibilities.
What Obama told Medvedev? What the hell does that mean?
You only tell that to the guy you're working for.
And so you know, if Putin had Obama by the neck,

(02:14):
well then Obama was the one who was constantly found
the ally to destroy the United States, and his working
with China and with Russia and with every other group
that hated America. Being a good democrat, that's what Obama
was obliged to do. So in this meeting here with

(02:36):
Macron and background in the center of the meeting looking
like he's, you know, the bully boy, and Europe is
all shaking hands in front of ten Downing Street that
they're gonna they're going to fight Russia. Well it's a
damn cool thing to do. And I think what Trump
can do to end the war is just simply say

(02:57):
good luck, boys, have at it, but you don't get
any more American money, you don't get any more American
war material on. Our troops are not going to give
you any battlefield guidance. We're pulling out, and Russia will
go through the remainder twenty to thirty percent of the

(03:18):
done boss, take it over, and probably head to Kiev,
where we'll just effectively destroy this Ukrainian government, which deserves
to be destroyed, given that it was been working with
the Midon Virginia Newland Soros Department, a state department anti

(03:42):
Americans since twenty thirteen when Hillary had her email server.
Bill Clinton was at heyday with the Clinton Foundation taking
money from every two bit phony oligarch and criminal they
could find, like Pincheck and Ukraine. So this whole sad

(04:03):
story is one that more people are going to die
and the war is not going to end. There's no
way to get the territory back from Russia without a
nuclear war. And I don't think Europe is stupid enough.
You're pretty stupid these days, not stupid enough to do that.

(04:24):
By the way, I took a look at the national
security assessment that Hageseth put out and saw what it's
said about Europe, which was startling but true. Let me
just read it so on page twenty five. By the way,
this is a very good assessment of the national security

(04:46):
of the United States in terms of reviving our domestic
industrial defense base, having energy dominance again, preserving growing America's
financial sector dominance. Okay, strong, strong statements about how we
can bolster in the United States and the rest of

(05:06):
the world can go to hell, because again the insanity
typified by Europe is just overwhelming and it's not immediately fixable.
And what we said about Europe just getting to the
right page here, page twenty five, and promoting European greatness.

(05:30):
American officials have become used to thinking about European problems
in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There's
truth to this, but Europe's real problems are even deeper.
Continental Europe has been losing share of global gross domestic product,

(05:50):
down from twenty five percent of nineteen ninety to fourteen
percent today, partly owing to national and transnational regulation undermine
creativity and industriousness. Yeah, like Germany destroying three nuclear power
plants last year. With this economic decline is eclipsed by

(06:12):
the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The
larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union
and the other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty,
migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife,
censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, creating

(06:37):
birth rates, and loss of national identities and self confidence.
Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in
twenty years or less. As such, it is far from
obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries
strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations

(06:59):
are currently doubling down on their present path. We want
Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self confidence,
and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation. Okay,
so I'm gonna read a little bit more about what
they're saying. Basically is that Islam is taking over Europe

(07:23):
and it's reaching probably a point where Islam is going
to demand Sharia law on major sections of an independence
in many of the European countries, and they'll probably have
to granted to them now. This security assessment goes on
to say the lack of self confidence is most evident

(07:44):
in Europe's relationship with Russia. European allies enjoy a significant
hard power advantage over Russia by almost every measure save
nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia's worn Ukraine, European
relationship with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans

(08:04):
regard Russia as an existential threat. Managing European relations with
Russia will require significant US diplomatic engagement, both to establish
conditions of strategic stability across the Eurasian land mass and
to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and the
European states. There's a core interests in the United States

(08:25):
that negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine in
order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion
of the war, and re established strategic stability with Russia,
as well as to enable the post hostility reconstruction of
Ukraine to enable survival as a viable state Okay, So

(08:53):
it's a very good analysis of how Europe has self destructed,
much like the Democratic Party, and the point is that
Europe on its current trajectory is headed for economic collapse,
civilizational collapse, and it says America is understandably sentimentally attached

(09:20):
to the European continent. Of course, to Britain and Ireland.
Character of these countries is also strategically important because we
count upon creative, capable, confident, democrat, democratic allies to establish
conditions of security and stability. We want to work with
allied countries that want to restore their former greatness. So

(09:44):
again it's it's more of a reaching out to rush
out to establish stability in Europe and ending the perception
with the reality that NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance

(10:05):
has outserved its usefulness. And NATO itself, I think is
Trump is given to two years to become self sufficient
or we're finished with it, and I think two years
is too long. We should be able to be finished
with Europe and with NATO right now and let them
crash and burn. Unfortunately, they're going to do that anyway,

(10:29):
And so the reality you're going to find in Islam
in Europe is it is not going to it any
way be accommodative to assimilating, but it is going to
be increasingly a separatist movement that the Europeans, given their
ideological confusion with this woke, university driven insanity on the left,

(10:53):
will not be able to counter. They won't even be
able to defend their women against gang rapes that or there.
You know, they're citizens against criminal attacks, and we're seeing
that starting also in New York where Mandami is appointed.
I think is when it was top law enforcement guys,

(11:14):
a former convict, because why don't you come on in comment?
This stuff is really is really insanity, and I just
don't see any end to it except for the destruction
of Europe.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Oh well, that's what happens in the background here. I
do have the dog inside the studio. But having said that,
the West is destroying itself, it's almost like it's self
destructing on purpose. I don't know why it wants to
keep waging war with Russia, aside from the fact that

(11:54):
maybe they just like the idea of fighting it far
away from them on the other side of the continent
with money rather than with boots on the ground. Although Starmer,
I believe, and Macrones suggested that in the past it
just seems they want to destroy themselves or they want
to show they want to show their toughness against Vladimir
Putins so they can regain control or their perceived trust

(12:18):
of the people in the country is where they live.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Well, the Europeans are never going to support going to
war with Russia because you know, they can't. First of all,
they can't afford it right sayingly, they don't have armies
that have been in the field test it in modern times.
You know, what was the last war where the Germans
or the French or the Italians fought as World War Two?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
They weren't. They didn't do too well in that one.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
They didn't do very well that one.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
And Europe knows also the continent was devastated in the
middle of a war against them.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, I mean Europe was left in right. We bond
the hell out of it.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
But at this point, I don't think a lot of
people in power understand history. I do know that we
have generations in this country, like most likely Europe, that
basically understand history in the most literal or basic sense
victims versus oppressors. So they do fall under that school
of thought, a lot of them that the bigger country

(13:24):
invade the smaller country. But history shows countries get conquered, territorious,
one or lost. The problem is the good guys do
not always win.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
And that's I'm not even sure the Europeans are the
good guys anymore. I mean, they're increasingly increasingly imposing censorship
on their countries. They're increasingly utilizing these tools and you
know all the IT tools that are now developing, or surveillance.

(13:56):
You can't say anything in Great Britain without being arrested.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
You I should clarify that the narrative is the good
guys are Ukraine and the bad guys are Russia. Right,
But taking that narrative, these people still have to realize
the good guys or the perceived good guys, don't always win.
Now it's a time where you have to cut your
losses and take care of the people who are in
the middle of war. To warn countries. But Macron starmer Mertz,

(14:21):
they're far away from it. They're living in luxury and
they don't care what happens to the people in Ukraine
or the dumbest region as long as they even.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
More, they're exploiting them for their own purposes. Absolutely, and
you know they continues want to continue to want to
make Russia the boogeyman when it's not nineteen fifty. Russia
is not threatening to invade Western Europe, you know. It's
it's not that we don't have a communist movement in

(14:52):
Italy that looks like it's going to take over the country.
Not anymore, No, I mean anymore. Yeah, And so the
threat that NATO was created to defend against it is
largely gone.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
And it's within their own countries now.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
That ideology, Well, what they gotta do is defend themselves
against Islam, yes, and that's you know, that's the real
downfall of Europe is going to be the Islam is
going to take it over and they won't be able
to stop it because their own mental structures, their own
mental constructs are going to say, well, you know, we

(15:37):
can't we have to be accepting, we can't be we
have to be inclusive DEI. So we might die because
of DEI doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, pampe U Kennan said this in the nineteen nineties.
There's a difference between controlling immigration and letting people into
the country to contribute, and there's being overrun by immigrants,
legal and illegal, and of course he was called a
racist for it. Now we see the fruits or the
let's just say, the rotten apples of what happened.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Or even worse, the inviting into the country of our
enemy in order to destroy us. Yes, which is where
Obama and Biden went.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, there it can be argued that there are enemies
within that infiltrated this country purposefully. With such enemies.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Well, how about Tim Waltz and Somalia and the letting
Somalia put a lot of that money, the billions stolen
into Somali terrorists back in Somalia.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Two things about Tim Walls. I've been saying that he's
a fool and absolute moron all these years, or at
least the last couple of years since he really came
out of the spotlight. The fact is, though, I'm pretty
sure he's playing the fool in the moron just to
get away with the corruption within his administration and his
own corruption in dealings with the Somali immigrant community at

(16:58):
this point, and these fans of that community kind of
I'm sure they kick things back to him and his buddies. Again,
I'm just making the accusation. I don't have the actual
ironclad proof in my hand. Secondly, this whole thing about
him whining and crying that people are honking on their
horns near his house and calling them a retard after
Donald Trump called him that, I can't possibly believe that

(17:18):
just didn't that that didn't just start now, It must
have been happening over several years anyway.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well, now I could have started now, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I'm joking again, I am kidding. But the fact is,
I just don't think he's the moron he plays himself
off to me. I do believe he's corrupt and devious
in a lot of ways and tries to play it
off like, oh look at me, Oh shucks, I'm a knucklehead,
and try to get away with it. Now the magnifying
glasses on him in the Somali community there.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, gold today is at four thousand, two hundred and
sixteen dollars an ounce and silver fifty eight dollars and
eighty five cents announce. And please visit Swiss America take
look at this Walking Liberty half dollar offer where you
can get up to two hundred and fifty of these

(18:06):
coins which are almost pure silver for what they're worth
than silver, and you'll begin to be into experience how
to increase your value with your money rather than just
simply throw it away with the inflated prices we're seeing
all around the country and all around the world. And

(18:26):
I've noticed also that something startling about the housing market
which is being picked up over here by Zero Hedge,
and that is that the housing market is experiencing a
a loss of people just taking their houses off the
market because they're not selling it the prices people want

(18:49):
to sell them for. In other words, the housing bubble
is largely started to burst. And if that happens, that's
going to be again a major or factor for an
economic downturn. So I'm encouraging people to call Swiss America
get a copy of this book we've written with how
the coming global economic yeah crisis it's going to cause

(19:14):
a historic gold rush, and take advantage of it. Even
if you take advantage of silver, at least you're getting
precious metals. Okay, Now, the other I think I think
is beginning to shape up. There's two things I'm watching
that I think are below the service just beginning to
come into play. Number one is that the judges and

(19:37):
the opposition to Trump from within the Department of Justice
and within the federal judiciary is getting to be obvious
and intolerable. You know, this whole idea that you've got
this new Supreme Court justice from Harvard who says that

(20:01):
Trump can't fire the bureaucracy is again as you ever
read the Constitution, I mean, where's the Department of Education
in the Constitution. It's not. And then you've got the
Democrats running the cities into the ground. New York City

(20:24):
is going to have a massive flight out of New
York City just as soon as you get Mondami to
take office. When's Mondami take office? Is they get in January.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
New York City. They swear in new officials on January first.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well, that'll be a thing to behold on it.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Happy New Year. Yeah, the bomb is the bowling ball
isn't the only thing that's going to drop. I guess
on he wants to bring back the homeless camps again.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, bring back the homeless camps, defund the police.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Dinkins Mayor Dinkins allowed the homeless to sleep in the
greasy mansion yard.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
If I remember correctly, Yes, he did for a while.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's the idea they want to show off that they're
nice to the homeless, but they're not going to do
anything about it. They're just going to make them sleep
in the streets in the freezing cold. Again, that doesn't
help anyone.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Well, by the way, we're gonna we're gonna have a
cold winter here, and it's already been snowing in the
New York, New Jersey area. Yes, and I've said when
I wrote the book The Truth about Energy, Global Warming
and Climate Change up I was predicting that we would
have a a cooling period right now because the sun

(21:42):
activity is actually slowing down. Okay, now they're asking on
zero head, what's the likelihood of a NATO Russian non
aggression backed and maybe that's the most effective way to
get European security. It's nil. Russia is not going to

(22:03):
sign a non aggression pact with NATO. Russia wants NATO
pulled back from Ukraine and have a buffer where there's
actually a sphere of influenced buffer. Just like we don't
want to have the Kremlin in Cuba we did in
nineteen sixty two, we still don't today. And I think

(22:26):
we're more likely to attack and go after Maduro pretty
quickly here. I think we're just waiting to do it.
And when maduall goes, that's going to have a major
impact all across South America. South America has also gone
through a period of revival of communism and a revival
of anti Americanism. Bo Solero and Brazil and others have

(22:51):
been oppressed because they were supporters of Donald Trump. So
in Natan Yahoo, by the way, is going to reject
retiring in exchange for pardon. I've encouraged Natanyahu to retire,
get out while at the getting is good. He could
certainly be a hero today for all these accomplished to

(23:12):
save Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah and the Huti rebels.
He's been in power for over thirty years, He's been
Prime minister three different times, and it's probably a good
idea to take a bow. But I don't expect it
to happen at any rate. I do expect that the
we're going to see a really reconfiguration here now of

(23:36):
the global alignments, and Trump is going to, I think,
be much more conscious of countering China's expansion in the
southern hemisphere of working with Russia to bolster Europe and
to do what he can to get these European nations

(23:58):
to understand that they're the problem today is not Russian invasion,
but it's Muslim takeover. And again, these are things that
are going to fundamentally have to play out in our politics. Well,
I think that the next domestic effort is going to
be on the voter integrity issue. Is Donald Trump is

(24:20):
already making moves to explain how many illegal votes there
are from dead people on the roles and all the rest.
And Donald Trump is fully aware of the algorithms. I've
been working with Peter Tickton for a long time and
the algorithms are such that Donald Trump understands that if
he doesn't get rid of the formulas within the state

(24:42):
databases the permit the creation of these false voters and
getting them legitimate state voter IDs where they can be
used in voter mail in frauds, the problem will just reappear.
It's not going to be the repeated four unless fundamental
measures are taken, and fundamental measures may involve with states

(25:06):
Blue states to refuse to co operate using the military
to run the elections under the Article two powers the
president has as commander in chief, and that could cause
a major, major democratic flare up because the Democrats, without cheating, stealing, lying,
will have no power whatsoever with the mainstream media. Without

(25:30):
the mainstream media support, the Democrats are dead in the water.
At any rate. I think we're seeing a situation play
out over the next few days in which it's going
to be clear that Donald Trump tells Europe that he's
done with supporting Zelenski, and I think the next step
will be for Donald Trump and Putin to declare that

(25:53):
Zelensky is not the legitimate head of state of Ukraine
and to demand the Ukraine have an election to put
someone legitimately in that position. This doctor' frone course he today,
it's Tuesday, It's December ninth, twenty twenty five. Coorsination dot com.

(26:14):
And the end, God always wins. God's gonna win here too,
And please do join me in spirit a second Chronicles
seven fourteen, getting on my knees and our knees to
ask God to forgive us for letting the world get
to this point where Christians are persecuted, where God is

(26:35):
held in disgrace, and where the insanity of gender madness
is returning us to a pagan reality that is certain
to spell civilization decline. Thank you for joining us incorcination
dot com. We'll be back every weekday, God Blessing.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
