    Agree, it is fascinating. I like Engdahl, because he can develop interesting narrative, but sometimes he does stray into areas I am not comfortable with. That includes his ideas about biotic origin of oil.

    I am unfamiliar with this:

    Many of the US self-styled Marxists leading the protests across US cities have ties to Beijing such as the Maoist-origin Revolutionary Communist Party, USA of Bob Avakian.

    Is this even likely?

    And then:

    Could it be that the recent extreme floods along the China Yangtze River that threaten the giant Three Gorges Dam and have flooded Wuhan and other major China cities and devastated millions of acres of key cropland was not entirely seasonal?

    Is that for real?

    His meta-narrative in this instance is fine, but these details bother me.

    Btw, I am aware that he spends time in China and is familiar with events there ...

    Cheers
