Thank you for drawing my attention to this. Very good. Clif is what he purports to be on his substack: old, bald, and pissed off. That's part of what I find endearing about him. Reminds me of my Dad who didn't live to see what's happening, but sure would have enjoyed watching this since he was telling me from the time I was a kid to read None Dare Call It Conspiracy. How right he was.

Clif's got good insights from a broad perspective and large experience pool. Dates are usually not reliable, but show me where they ARE reliable. Still, I always find his insights and perspective genuinely useful.
