Two really interesting posts Paul. Escobar is always worth reading and absorbing.
On the 4th Media piece it was news to me that "bank and governments in the European Union had been considering and examining the use of China's national currency, renmimbi/yuan, as a reserve currency". For me, this was/is an extraordinary development and one that must've caused considerable worry in Washington and Wall Street. A link to this story can be found HERE (and dated from October last year). That Europe considered this, and still may be considering this, speaks volumes about the pending fragility of the continuing US-European relationship.
It is hard not to conclude that the US economic manipulation of the world - forcing Europe to turn against Russia against her best interests, and the US current currency war against China - is going to fail with a massive collapse of the US and the dollar. The really smart move by China and Russia has been to create parallel banking and economic systems outside the control of the US, I think.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
