The late Zbignew Brzezinski’s greatest fear, others too, was the control of Eurasia by non-Western forces. Meaning any actors other than the Atlanticists, specifically not Russia and certainly not in an alliance with China or other Eurasian actors. And they had ‘just’ cause in reaching this determination. For history has clearly shown that “she who controls Eurasia, controls the world.”

The beckoned formation may even be grander than that most feared by Brzezinski on his geo-political, geo-strategic, chessboard. Brzezinski himself always carried an abiding loathing of all things Russian, as most Poles do. Divide and rule – Slav against Slav in Ukraine, Poland and elsewhere.

Our master narratives are three (3). Firstly, we have determined that White people, and we refer to Whiteness as a political construction, are highly unlikely to surrender “supremacy” or “exceptionalism” or ‘great again’ absent a cataclysmic event, or series of events. For Western forces have never seen the Slavic people as White and have signaled to the Chinese that there shall have no tolerance for the rise and fall of empires as a long cyclical phenomenon. Meaning, the West must rule forever as divined by their god.

Secondly, that the acili of the Atlanticists has always been that the total destruction of the world is preferable to Chinese or Slavic domination, as constituents of a real multi-polarity, or a world where power is equitably distributed. There is much evidence for this. We would however suggest that the rejection of Gorbachev’s entreaties to Reagan that ALL nuclear weapons be destroyed, banned, ‘disinvented’, absolutely points in that general direction.

Thirdly, there SHALL be no retreating from the actions taken by Russia on February 24, 2022. There has been an irreparable decoupling from the West by Russia. It’s clear to the Chinese that they are next on the West’s hit-list, as well. All the preparations have been painstakingly put into place over decades and now the Eurasian Bloc moves in for the kill as, Joseph Biden, bedeviled by cognitive decline, is hardly able to deal with his own and his son’s malfeasance far less the dire warnings from Vladimir Putin.

The military intervention of the Russian Federation into Ukraine has had multiple affects. The West has widened and deepened its most ‘reliable’ power projection source – economic sanctions. It has declared a heightened propaganda war on Russia. Diplomacy, which has always been war by other means sees NATO leaders/members, as satraps of empire, dutifully on the front lines, prepared to put their own survival on the line in the furtherance of an Anglo-Saxon continued domination of the world.

A calculus which means that 10 percent of the peoples of the world are to forever control the 90 percent. Then there is another war, cultural war, on all Russians, alive or dead, whether they they have links with President Putin or not, whether they own a football club, a yacht, or was a great composer, like Tchaikovsky, long dead.

We call this a ‘woke-ist’, ‘cancel culture’ war within the traditions and thinking of the much deified Winston Churchill who along with Harry Truman, even after Russia (the then USSR) in The Great Patriotic War of 1939 to 1945, had just given twenty seven million (27,000,000) lives to defeat Nazi Germany (Russia itself offering 12,000,000), bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima to send a message to the Soviets, and then sought to invade Leningrad as an expression of their hatred for the Slavic people and to gain control of Russia’s vast resources at the very time when it was at its weakest.

The West never learns from its history, someone once said. The same Nazis they have always supported like Deash, Isis, al Nusra, al Queda more recently, evinces a Churchillian wickedness. Slavs in Ukraine today, divided against themselves, again seeking to do the bidding of a dead Churchill.

The Military War
In the military war and unlike the American/NATO axis whose doctrine of warfare starts and continues with the ‘shock and awe’ of Iraq, Korea, Vietnam, Syria, Afghanistan, Serbia, Yugoslavia, Panama and many others, represents the opposite of Russian military strategy. In the last 100 years alone we’ve had more than ninety (90) Anglo-Saxon led war. What the wall-to-wall propaganda in the West continues to not even minimally inform their ‘sheeple’ about are the stark differences in military doctrines.

Russian military strategy has long been guided by the thinking of Carl Von Clausewitz. Clausewitz saw war “as the continuation of politics by other means”. And for him, in war ‘political objectives are sought when diplomacy fails.’ Clausewitz sophisticated strategy, unlike Western militarism, would prefer the surrender of the belligerent forces as opposed to their destruction and goes to great lengths to achieve this. It cares not about the capture of territory and cities, as necessarily preconditions for victory. And continues the application of diplomacy even as the military campaign rages.

An understanding of Clausewitz best explains the conduct of the Russians thus far. The cities have not been obliterated except for parts of Mariupol, Vonlnoyakna, Kharkov and few other places as minimally as possible, only in cases where the Nazis and other Ukrainian forces forwent surrender, or removal to the west of Kiev. Electricity, the internet, water and other services remain largely functioning. None of these were possible under any American/NATO war. Russians have all kinds of familial connections to Ukrainians and as such are determined on a just war even though troop loses could be higher viz a viz American/NATO military campaigns 30 days in. A comparison could be made once reliable war dead are revealed.

Russian’s main military objectives have been listed. To achieve them they have successfully surrounded, on all sides, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian troops in what they call cauldrons. To the west of The Donbass, 60,000 or more elite Ukrainian fighters have been surrounded by Russian and separatists fighter of the Lugansk and Donetsk newly minted republics, as recognized by Russia alone, so far. Today, it has been announced that coalition forces have reached the centre of Mariupol which was stoutly defended by a collection of Aidar, Azov, Right Sector and other Nazi battalions operating within the military of Ukraine, and as Western proxies.

We estimate that Russia will achieve its overall objections by the end of April, Scott Ritter agrees, barring, and maybe in spite of externalities, the flooding of the battlefield with a mountains of weapons aimed at fueling an enduring conflict in Ukraine, on Russia’s borders, like in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, the pending false flag attacks, or even worse, the intervention of third parties which will represent an enormous escalation. An escalation which Russia will never countenance. These tactics by America/NATO are those of weaklings. We deem America/NATO as weaker than a spider’s web.

The Russian discovery of up to thirty (30) bio-weapons laboratories in Ukraine is only a part of a wider network of three hundred and sixty-five (365) around the globe, all illegal as funded by the Pentagon through Hunter Biden.

The Economic War

Sanctions and secondary sanctions don’t work, have never worked! However, an army of professional sanctions busters are beating a path to the Kremlin but they are unlikely to find much work as the web of sanctions are boomeranging and effecting the Western economies in unprecedented ways, this will deepen. Amongst these are the proscribing of many Russian banks and the reserves of the Russian Central Bank held abroad. Such attacks on sovereign central banking institutions have never happened before to a G20 country.

For example, official monthly inflation in Atlanticist countries currently range between 7 and 10 percent, monthly. However, when measured using 1980s metrics it’s really between 16 and 20 percent. Not all due to sanctions of course, merely exacerbated by them as the pivotal nature of Russia and Ukraine as suppliers of wheat, both of them, and in the case of Russia, unique competencies in the supply of oil, gas, and a wide range of minerals irreplaceable from other sources in either the short, medium or long term.

Those who have their eyes set on the coming new world order represented by a Eurasian super-bloc are refusing to take dictation from Biden. We speak of China, India, Iran, Venezuela, the countries of Afrika, even countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE see the writing on the wall. China has very close relations with Russia. Indeed, it is fair to say that they are more than strategic allies, according to them – de-facto not yet de-jury. This is easily seen in the recent, some time in February 2022, Joint Russia-China Statement Articulating Opposition to Western Alliance.

In that statement a large part of the Eurasian architecture is on full display, not the military component though. It’s littered with organizations, some of which, few people in the West know anything about. These include but are not limited to The Belt & Road Initiative, APEC, ASEAN, Russia-India-China Format, BRICS, G20 and the Greater Eurasia Partnership. On the other hand the statement spurned the Western military alliances NATO and AUKUS with specifically projected at China for war.

In addition, we can boldly state that within a few days the Russians and the Chinese will announce, in full bloom, a holistic Eurasian financial/economic architecture to replace SWIFT, The World Bank, a new international reserve currency backed by minerals, a competitor to the IMF. They have long declared economic war via sanctions on a third of the nations of the earth. Russia February 24th well planned and timely intervention into Ukraine has heralded the demise of the West and the possible peaceful rise of the East. As the West played checkers the East played Go or in Chinese -Weiqi.

To shorten this section permit us to list a wide range of problems American/NATO sanctions are going to cause within Western financial systems as the Putin-Xi pair of martial artist absorbs American/NATO punches and as expert Judokas, in the case of Putin at least, ready themselves to deliver 10 times the force back at the West. But first, an example of the hurt coming our way.

President Putin’s announcement, a simple determination by The State Duma or the Federal Assembly, that Russian oil and gas sold to ‘unfriendly countries’ must now be paid for in rubles has set the cat amongst the Western pigeons. American/NATO responses beg the question, why would Russia continue receiving payments in Euros or USD when Western countries will simple freeze them in their banks. Are the Atlanticists silly? Or are they so self-centered that even agency is to be denied the perceived non-Europeans. If this riles them so, we need to wait and see what the coming announcement of the new Eurasian financial architecture, as if a nuclear bomb, does to them.

The problems the Western financial systems are likely to face within the short and medium terms and as a result of their own sanctions plus the Jujutsu of Putin and Xi will relate to off-the-book European market transactions for which there were Russian counter-parties; losing control over close-out arrangements; general risks associated with counter-parties for completed deals; too large systemic risksand liquidity strains.

We should expect too large and un-repayable debts within the system, debts so large that they can never be re-paid; risks associated with a possible Russian 150 billion dollar default triggering a Lehman’s Brothers 2.0 scenario; the trigger of insolvency contagion; risks as the East tries to minimize damage to itself while replacing the USD as reserve currency; an accelerated move away from the USD; an increased lack of confidence in a system which sanctions a central bank; the increased printing of money as a driver of double digit inflation; the slaughter of over-leveraged financial institutions. Add the spectre of 3 billion people within a system already built and being readied for roll out, then there will be more pain for the West. We’ve already seen UnionPay, of China, seamlessly and in association with Russia’s Mir card replaced Master Card and Visa, overnight.

The Propaganda War

We must concede that in the propaganda war of words Russia will never be able to compete. With tens of thousands of channels telling the same lies 24/7 not even the Creator Herself could compete with that. With over 150 public relations firms and tens of thousand of lobbyists sitting in Western capitals making sure elected officials adhere to the commands of the militarists, funders, we must await a nuclear weapons in Iraq moment. And that may yet take a decade or more. One half-point to the most evil entities known to man.

The Cultural Wars Against Russians

What can be said about how the Anglo-Saxons systematically create whole cadres of ignorant people ready to see President Putin as some villain, a man worthy of death. They are yet to know that Putin waited and watched for eight years as14,000 Russians in Ukraine were being slaughtered by Nazis, after a coup sponsored by the USA and NATO which violently removed a duly elected government and replaced it with a regime totally controlled Neo-Nazis.

Of which the comic Zelensky, a Jew, is currently its titular head. Even having been shown by the Pandora’s Papers to have amassed over a billion dollars from a benefactor who is the richest man in Ukraine. Zelensky as collateral damage, for all these releases really are intelligence projects trying to expose people they presume have some connection to Putin because the lie of currency is that he’s the richest man in the world.

But the ignorant peoples of the West who presume that it’s fair game to harass, harry, hate, harangue Russians, whether they are the owner of Chelsea FC; Russian restaurant owners in the West; performers of classical Russian ballet, like Swan Lake; or long dead classical composers like Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, for there are so many; or Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, the first human to venture into outer space. Once you are Russian it is now assumed, in a West, where ‘cancel culture’ and ‘woke-ism’ reign supreme that unless you renounce President Putin you are guilty of his perceived crime. This writer sides with Vladimir Putin and Russia unreservedly while trusting that he might find it possible to stop playing around with minions in Ukraine and strive to cut off the head of the snake.

Conclusion

A clean break has been made from the West by The Russian Federation, and there shall be no way back. Long and hidden hatreds of Slavs have re-emerged in the most visceral manner.

In the military war the Russians have already destroys thousands of elite Ukrainian troops, encircled west of the Donbass, within the most substantial of its network of strategically located military ‘cauldrons’. Even as the propagandists in the West continue to wax poetically about Kiev, as if that was the centre of gravity, it never was. The Russians never gave Kiev any priority, as yet. Why should they, when Ukrainian best soldiers were, before the intervention, amassed along the Donbass region (Clausewitz), poised to genocide the people of Lugansk and Donetsk. Propaganda fails every time, once confronted with reality.

As the Europeans now see the pictures of thousands of dead Ukrainian soldiers emerging we sense an awakening is surfacing about the orders of magnitude, the gravamen, the real meanings of the misguidance, which a cabal of Neo-cons in Washington has led them to.

Those Neo-cons which include people like Victoria Nulands, Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan never needed their anti-Putin dissertations to enmesh a senile Joseph Biden into a world of trouble at home and abroad. Are these people so ignorant that no lessons could be learnt from Russia-gate? And they are doubling down. For these wars are existential for the paper-tiger of an empire as globalization, especially its financialized structures, comes screeching to a halt thus threatening the world with another recession and maybe even an extended depression. But these monsters care not, once there is a slim chance Russia can be destroyed, balkanized and plundered. A project the Anglo-Saxons have long dreamed of.

Certainly, it was Obama who is on record as saying that ‘one should not underestimate the extent to which Jo Biden could mess thing up’, and he has. The Democrats will be slaughtered in the midterms and maybe, just maybe, we could be looking at another ‘Trumpesque’ presidency but with brains to do more wickedness. His speech in Poland over the weekend could only give comfort to fools. Talking about regime change when The Russian Federation is currently winning the war by a country mile.

Indeed, it must be the absolute highest moral failing for Biden and the Neo-cons who wrote his Poland speak to allow this slaughter to continue in circumstances, when he has all the satellite and other communications intelligence which are showing that this war will descend into a bloodbath for Ukrainian soldiers when a diplomatic settlement on Russia’s terms is available.

The longer the military war, and this is the real war, goes on Russia may well increase its demands, this is standard in warfare, and instead of asking that the Donbass be recognized as independent states, that NATO membership will never be possible, the ‘denazification’ of and demilitarization of Ukraine, all these are currently being achieved in all theatres that matter, it may complete its total conquest, as it already has, what’s currently left of Ukraine, totally landlocked and entirely cut off from the Black Sea, as Russia has constructed a land bridge from its border in the north-east to the east to the south to the south east to the west, joining up with Crimea, all Russian territory.

Lastly, it may be well nigh for astute readers of global events to come to see that that river of blood which runs through everything given us by the West as evil and should therefore be utterly and totally rejected. Those structures carrying the mark of blood must include, but not limited to – Christianity, capitalism, Neo-capitalism, chattel slavery, colonialism, Neo-colonialism, globalization, exceptionalism, White supremacy and democracy. Unfortunately it has taken Vladimir Putin thirty (30) years to find out that the Slavic people with never be considered Europeans, will never be including in the artificiality of Whiteness. That once a Slav, always a slave, in their minds!

  1. The Western “Slavs” are not genetically related to the Russians at all. Just look at the Russian defence minister. Clearly a Mongolian. Putin also looks to me like a mixture between an indigenous primitive people in the Ural Mountains and a Mongol. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, fight like true heroes. They are descendants of the Nordic people, the Vikings.

    Half a million Ukrainian men have returned to their country since the invasion to defend their families against the wild hordes of the East. What a difference to the Arab men who ran away from the Syrian civil war instead of fighting.

    Fortunately, in Barbados we had a Bussa from Africa who was quite different. A man of heroism who fought for his people. Like the Ukrainians today!

  3. Think about it, God’s Chosen people were slaves in Africa long before Slavs came into existence.

    There must be something good to being a slave.

    ah Pacha…happy to see another great writer’s opinion on BU.-

    told them already unless they carry that Anglo-Saxon/Viking/Slav etc bloodline, they don’t understand shit, just blowing hot air and tiefing/feeding off other people’s content..

    BU is very lucky to have you Pacha…or they would stumble around in the dark forever. I am done sharing bloodline information on here..

    small islands got their DIPLORATS trying to involve them in something they should STAY OUT OF…because they want to continue in their comfort zones of feeding off and seeing Afrikan descents oppressed indefinitely so they can sleep easy while practicing their racism, apartheid and THEFTS….disgusting minority trash…

    i got attacked on BU early on in the war for telling them to mind their business, while fools were gushing, oh all the leaders are ….blah, blah, blah…..in their usual useless breather sheeple/slave style…because they are too dimwitted to understand that taking sides makes it even worse for the displaced people..

    … and unfortunately Joe Biden through his family’s financial links.

    Energy is available to Europe from Israel and the US.

    Had they listened to Trump years ago they would not be in the position they are today.


  10. Israel’s energy finds are good reasons for the “King of the East” and neighboring kingdoms to descend upon Israel to destroy it or take it over for it will be able to supplant their major economic activity.

    @David, of course very interesting. The writer brings a depth of knowledge to his material and thus offers meaningful relevancy of recent history though his lens. However, even a partial review of the essay reinforces the simple realization that extensive knowledge does not prevent a partisan reflection of history with the biases of a deeply entrenched world view clearly on display. Many in the main stream media – as it’s called – do this as well so realistically nothing peculiar on that front but it does need to be said.

    The author like many others want the world to evolve to the detriment of western world hegemonic supremacy and thus has no problem praising practices (“while trusting that he might find it possible to stop playing around with minions in Ukraine and strive to cut off the head of the snake“) but condemning the same mentality (the Polish speak of ‘regime change’) voiced by the West!

    So some support a western world view and others the supremacy of Putin, Xi and others of the eastern block.

    Does it mean anything at all that both sides employ duplicitous means and that some are more autocratic and oppressive than others … NO. As usual it’s my side or otherwise you are ‘scum’ and ‘traitors’. It would be shocking to those who perceive that the connective tissues of history can be so readily disentangled that in 1991 there was a very similiar cry of “traitors” about those who – if they were successful – would have long preempted this Putin war. The leaders of the coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev’s perestroika – very much as Putin now – were distraught about the dissolution of the USSR and were primed to depose Gorbachev. The masses and soldiers of Russian, Georgia, Ukraine and others across Latvia and beyond were not as keen and the coup was stalled and then squashed.

    So in many ways Putin’s – soon to be benefactor – Boris Yeltsin was setting the tone for this 2022 miasma when he described those Russian ‘patriots’ as “criminal” and “traitors”… Putin eventually joined that Kremlin governance circle and rose to prominence until Yeltsin selected him as his successor. So yes some thirty plus years in the making but finally the circle has been closed!

    There were significant developmental pains for many years after that dissolution but in time the Russian empire and her acolytes expanded exponentially as an economic power well beyond the former standing of the USSR regime but the affront of western (and NATO particularly) expanding eastwards has deeply pissed off the Russian … in fact so too a majority of Russians (63% by one poll) regret the fall of the Soviet Empire and perceive that it was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.”

    So all this about a new ‘Swift’ and ‘reserve currency’ upending is very real but fundamentally it’s all about the power to be on top.

    Putin has come full circle in his journey … the problem is that I am NOT Russian nor Slav and have no fealty for the man’s intent… changing the guard to those on the Eastern flank has no interest for me … I prefer twiddle-dum. Those who prefer twiddle-dee are surely free to so do… I absolutely do not!

    “Russia’s top negotiator Vladimir Medinsky has disclosed key points of Istanbul negotiations:

    ▪️Ukraine is ready to become a neutral state, unable to own nuclear weapons, with internationally guaranteed independence

    ▪️Guarantees will not be extended to Donbass region and Russia owned Crimean Peninsula – which would make Kiev formally abandon idea to annex them militarily

    ▪️Kiev proposed to include in agreement that Moscow would not be against Ukraine’s entry into EU

    ▪️Ukraine would be unable to have any military presence – including NATO and Russian forces

    ▪️Kiev is requesting for final treaty to be formalised by Russian and Ukrainian heads of states “

    The inability to see ‘propoganda’ everywhere was disappointing. As Russia, China, North Korea and others have shown, you don’t require 25,000 media outlets, they can get a deeper and wider indoctrination with a handful.
    We all know the Russian and Chinese are already joined at the hip, not unlike several in the West. Hence we eagerly await joint products and currencies which go beyond hacking and idealogic bonds.

    Correct @David, we should not let our “our biases […] muddy our cognitive sense of what is before us and has been for hundreds of years” and for that reason I find a lot of the punditry on Putin’s behavior completely mystifying.

    As the writer @Pacha clearly alludes to, the history of the region runs deep in blood of Slavs … and despite the massive figure of some 27 million lost during the WWII Hitler campaigns and purges there are millions more than that who suffered by being purged, poisoned, starved with famine, sent to slow deaths in prison camps and otherwise had their blood drained onto the streets of Moscow or Leningrad or Tbillisi … by Stalin and Vlad Putin over these many years!

    Just as they were millions who suffered similiar fates under Moa’s rule.

    So absolutely we should not muddy our cognitive sense with historical perspectives that paints Eastern strong-men with wonderous praise as we will not adorn western leaders as saints.

    Vladimir Putin is a powerful man seeking to reinstate Russian (Soviet) hegemony just as China’s Xi desires as well … no doubt there. They along with Modi will cobble together whatever alliance that can serve that purpose … that’s crystal clear.

    But Russian propaganda is extensive and very repressive and much more odious than what we see in the West … because here at least we actually have choices with which we can get into the mud and play … there, it’s only Vlad’s messaging mud with which we can play.

    That alone should be a crass assault on our senses and sensibilities!

    “German supermarkets face supply shortages amid conflict in Ukraine

    German supermarkets experience a shortage of several goods amid continuing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

    Shelves of different supermarkets in Stuttgart lacked essential products such as cooking oil, spaghetti and flour.

    Germany imports 94 per cent of its cooking oil while Ukraine and Russia are among the major grain and oil exporters worldwide”

  33. It’s Africa and the Middle East that will be hit hardest.

    France is a major exporter of grain as is Germany next door … both are EU members.

    Both are in the top 10 grain exporters, along with Poland.

    Together they are equivalent to Russia which is # 1.

    Ukraine is at #5, France is at # 4.


  34. Ukraine exports oils to India as well.

    They have serious troubles too.

  38. Africa and the Middle East will probably smell hell.

    Will American farmers take up the slack with the increases in food prices?

    Nothing like a good war to raise commodity prices.

    Happened in Barbados with sugar during WWI and again during WWII and after.

    My grandfather bought his first plantation in 1939.


  39. Press really picking up on my predictions from a while back!!

    All I did was remember my Grandfather’s words.

    Now if we had not destroyed much of our agricultural land we might have been able to benefit.

  41. The Dance of the Millions, the effect of WWI on sugar prices in Cuba … Why so many Bajans flocked there

    This Day In Cuban History – November 1920. Collapse Of The Dance Of The Millions
    November 1, 2018

    Cuba and sugar have been tied inseparable in history. There is an old saying that synthetizes this relationship “Sin azúcar no hay país.” The Cuban economy was radically dependent of the sugar price market fluctuations with profound implications for Cubans’ financial wellbeing. This close relationship was acutely enhanced by the boom and bust market volatility of 1920.

    In November 1920, after six years of unprecedent prosperity in which Cuba became the biggest sugar producer in the world, the demand and price swiftly decreased as Europe’s beet sugar fields and factories recovered from WWI’s (1914-1918) devastation. “The Dance of the Millions” in Cuba was over. For the sugar industry it was a catastrophe.

    On July 1914, a month before the outbreak of the War in Europe, the sugar price was at 1.93 cents per pound. In August it rose to 3.66 cents per pound. In addition, the market demand for Cuban sugar increased as the sugar beet production regions of Europe suffered the wreckage of the battlefields and the peasants joined the war.

    As a result, Cuba’s sugar industry flourished. A year later (1915), the output reached over 2,600,000 tons and increased its share of world production from 2.7% in 1900 to 15.4% in 1915. It also dominated the U.S. sugar market. In addition, England turned to Cuba for its sugar needs. During the war, England bought 2,500,000 tons of sugar from Cuba. To control rising prices, the Allied Powers created the “Sugar Equalization Board” fixing the price at 4.6 cents per pound of raw sugar. (This price control ended in 1920)

    With a growing demand for sugar, Cuba’s economic future looked brighter than ever. With the prospect of excellent returns, American capital flew to Cuba to buy land for cane fields and to build new and larger “centrales.” During the war years, 25 modern mills were built, making Cuba the sugar emporium of the world.

    Cuba’s society was dazzled by the economic prosperity of the sugar golden years. More than 50,000 “colonos” were among the Cubans who expanded their land holding, paying off old debts, showing off their wealth and living the good life of financial success. Cuba was experiencing an extraordinary economic bonanza.

    The construction industry was also thriving, with elegant homes being built in the Vedado and Miramar fashionable suburbs in Havana. Wealthy Cubans recreated Gothic, Italian Renaissance and French classical architectural styles. The Country Club suburb had beautiful mansions.

    Strict banking procedures were ignored. Many huge loans went unsecured. Among the most prominent entrepreneurs was José López Rodríguez, known as “El Gallego Pote,” a well-known developer of Miramar, who was given millions of unsecured loans.

    Hugh Thomas wrote: “The rest of 1920 was passed, day by day, in a dream-like atmosphere, more reminiscent of a film comedy than real life.” On June 28, 1920, the Wall Street Journal wrote: “The ‘Paseo del Prado’ boulevard was packed with cars like New York’s Fifth Avenue.” The impact of the sugar bonanza was felt throughout the island.

    Without price control, loose lending by banks stimulated speculation. On May 20, 1920, the price of sugar reached 22.5 cents per pound and then abruptly, like an unexpected bolt of lightning, plummeted. By November 18, the price hit 4 ¾ cents per pound. (The price collapse had taken 7 months). In December it had fallen to less than 3 cents per pound.

    Many mill owners, colonos, and sugar speculators that had borrowed on the sale of the next harvest could not meet their bank obligations. In turn, the banks that had departed from sound loan procedures were now unable to collect on their loans and became insolvent. Fearing the worst, the people rushed to take out their savings. A run on banks took place, and panic took hold of the devastated Cuban financial system.

    It was an economic catastrophe. By the summer of 1921, 20 banks had collapsed. Some bankers and sugar speculators fled the island; others like Pote Rodriguez hung themselves. The Cuban-owned banks were the hardest hit, while foreign banks, with their solid monetary reserves, were able to weather the storm.

    Fortunately for the Cuban people, the U.S. market for sugar increased and the price stabilized around 3.75 cents per pound, which was higher than the average price between 1885 and 1914. At the end, the “Dance of the Millions” created a legacy of a city beautiful that contributed to the magic splendor of Havana.


  42. My Grandfather was 25 in 1920.

    He was the manger of a sugar factory by then and intimately involved in the sugar industry and the sale of sugar and was good at his job.

    He would have watched as Bajans flocked to Cuba to capitalize on the demand for cane cutters and others knowledgeable in the sugar industry.

    By then he had a wife and the first 3 of his 7 children.

    He stayed put but he watched, waited and learnt.

    As WWII threatened in 1939 two decades later, he was 44, mature, with 7 children, three of them in their 20’s.

    He moved at the right time, had the right experience, the right connections and five sons and two daughters to help him.

    I’m watching sugar prices and mad that our agricultural land and milling capacity has been wantonly destroyed.
