Posted on 2026-06-302026-09-23 by Sasch Mayer

Cryptocurrencies are facing a new threat from quantum computing

I’ve been a techie and analyst for a good piece north of three decades. I was there for the DotCom boom/bust, the 2008 crisis, and I’ve seen and participated in multiple waves of technological and financial innovation.

Trump profiteering from the control mechanisms of a second government

As the descendant of Soviet dissidents I have spent almost three decades analyzing governance trends slowly getting out of hand on both sides of the Atlantic. But between the creeping technocracy and population oppression of the European Union since the 1990s and Canada in more recent years to the rapid takeover of Washington by corporate…

Posted on 2026-06-092026-09-23 by Sasch Mayer

The Israel IRan conflict is escalating and causing global problems

The Middle Eastern events of the past 48 hours represent an extremely dangerous escalation that is being VERY deliberately understated in much of the mainstream coverage. On June 7-8, Iran launched ballistic and cruise missiles in response to Israeli strikes on Beirut suburbs, prompting Israel to retaliate with standoff cruise missiles and air-launched attacks targeting…

THIS IS IMPORTANT: Iran is Crossing the Nuclear Threshold and Reshaping the Global Power Balance

Posted on 2026-06-052026-09-23 by Sasch Mayer

For decades, the international community has operated under a fragile assumption regarding Iran: the nation’s nuclear program remained a carefully managed ambiguity with Iran assumed to have advanced enrichment capabilities, but no actual weapon. That assumption now appears to be obsolete. Reports from multiple channels, including high-level backchannel communications, indicate that Tehran has achieved the…

The astute among us who’ve been around long enough have noticed the great-power competition, pressurized energy markets, and the slow erosion of American primacy over the past couple of decades. And yet, we have rarely seen a policy pivot as revealing as the Trump administration’s shift from kinetic strikes to a purported “worldwide naval blockade”…

The economic alignment of Russia, China, and Iran in the face of American economic and military pressure.

As a German who’s old enough to remember the fall of East Germany and the Berlin Wall in 1989, shortly followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, I observed that the most consequential shifts often begin not with dramatic battlefield victories but with quieter erosions of internal national cohesion and subtle realignments…
