I consider Alastair Crooke (X-MI6) the leading Western authority on Southwest Asia. He writes at https://strategic-culture.su/ and is a weekly guest of Judge Napolitano's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@judgingfreedom

Alastair considers current events in Palestine to have an eschatological dimension.

My knowledge of eschatology is limited to lectures of Sheikh Imran Hosein https://www.youtube.com/@SheikhImranHosein.

I believe he is giving lectures in the UK now. He had a lecture in Manchester on Monday

Hello Fadi,

I listened to your interview with Hrvoje Moric (Geopolitics and Empire) on 7/3/24. I also read your 3 part article on the Great Dessert. I am so happy to hear you incorporate David Rogers Webb's book in your work. I just retired as the CFO from a small non-profit which now has $4ml+ in cash & CDs and $3ml in two endowments after working hard for 13 years to accumulate these funds (our staff, management, BOD, volunteers and donors in the community all worked). I expressed significant concern about our financial assets in the organization, because I read the "Great Taking". Unfortunately, the finance committee of our board would not even discuss it openly in a meeting. Although many people have woken up to the concepts of your writings, many are still in the camp that you can't criticize your govt, banks, schools, etc

I really appreciate your writings- (I started on your book also) because you synthesize information very well and provide clear and concise data that show what has or is going on that no one will talk about (for ex, the significant reduction in upstream energy investments in 2014 and 2015. Wow! Also, I wish the US would get back to producing tractors, appliances, production and construction equipment, etc. I wish the government would fix our infrastructure and build efficient weapons instead of charging taxpayers to build data centers to house all the data and surveillance information obtained about us. Also, our tax dollars fund weather geoengineering / warfare which harms us when they spray strontium, barium, aluminum and graphine oxide in the sky (to block the sun) which harms people, animals, plants (food in gardens), and then can cause massive damage if they drive hurricanes to our area (Florida) which blows down or floods houses, which then results in sky high insurance premiums. We are paying for all of this!

It is hard to believe that these few people are so power hungry that they screw up, change significantly and harm cultures, civilizations and countries. OK, I will quit rambling. Thank you again for researching, sharing your work in a book and doing podcasts. I want America to be a great country to live in, but not if resources we need are stolen from other countries. People need to hear about the negative uses of global power around the world, and the negative uses of money around the world.

Thanks again!

Thank you Suzanne,

Quote: "I wish the US would get back to producing tractors, appliances, production and construction equipment, etc."

Quote: "It is hard to believe that these few people are so power hungry that they screw up, change significantly and harm cultures, civilizations and countries."

A good insight into Money Powers aka Globalists plans and mindset is provided by Aurelio Peccei (a Rockefeller man) in his 1969 book, "The Chasm Ahead". It must be read with a critical mind.

The author lays the ideological basis for the Money Powers" aka "Globalists". The argument is that the world will be facing several crises which are of a global nature and cannot be addressed by governments individually, hence the need for supra-national structures, i.e. global organizations which have powers greater than national governments to "save the world".

Realizing that in a sovereign nation, ultimate power resides with it's government, hence by it's very nature a sovereign nation is at odds with the Money Powers. Therefore to further their power, it is essential to limit sovereignty of nations. It is easy to control poor/weak nations using the "Bretton Woods" financial architecture. See John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"

The problem lies in controlling economically powerful nations, such as the US in the 1960s. This was essentially achieved in the late 1970s to early 1980s by the Fed raising interest rates to over 20% making it economically unjustifiable to invest in the manufacturing sector. It was much more profitable to do nothing and just put your money in T-Bills. It is easy to destroy the manufacturing sector but very difficult to rebuild it, especially when facing global competition.

Destroying the manufacturing sector forced a reliance on the financial sector's ability to siphon wealth globally. Effectively making the US hostage to owners of the financial sector who can pull the plug on the USD anytime they wish, resulting in impoverishment of society far worse than 1929. Thus by 1990 the US lost what little sovereignty it had in the 1960s. Since then socioeconomic conditions are on an irreversible downward trend, this applies to the US and to all nations with neoliberal economies (economies where the parasitic financial sector is dominant)

Islam is the fastest growing religion; it has been for decades, but I don't consider them a threat.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Albert Pike who was the head of American freemasons in 19th century outlined 3 world wars. The first 2 took place with the antagonists so described and the 3rd being between Islam and Christianity (i.e. christian zionists). It is unfolding now.

Sheik Imran Hosein, a much respected eschatologist whom you can find on Youtube says it will be between Islam & the Eastern Orthodox Church against Christian Zionists, with the fall of Constantinople followed by Damascus before the return of Jesus who will join the former in the great battle against the Christian Zionist forces coming out from the East of Jerusalem.

As for the Zionists themselves they want to see both sides destroy themselves so that they can have a one world government in Jerusalem.

The pieces fit together.

The scenario outlined under the section “End Game in the Western Realm” is entirely reasonable. However, I am afraid to say that the stuff under the first section “End Game for the Sovereigntist World” looks like something out of a fairy tale called “And the BRICs Lived Happily Ever After.” There is ZERO evidence for a BRICS-led “egalitarian world”. To repeat my comments made under Part 2, China is the world’s first technate – a brutal model of authoritarian technocratic control that the transnational deep state seeks to implement everywhere. China has already implemented the control grid that the author envisages will be implemented in the West as it collapses. That is not an accident. Covid was Act 1, Scene 1 in the New World Order play and China played its part flawlessly.

The author is correct to say that the technate is being implemented in the West precisely because it will be necessary to control the backlash against the pyramid collapse and ensuing rapid decline in Western living standards. On the other hand, it would be more realistic to acknowledge that populations in the east and the global south may tolerate the same technocratic hell hole only because they will have more bread and a relatively larger share of the global pie. I cannot see this bait-and-switch move by the Owners and Controllers of Global Financial Capital as resulting in the ‘sovereigntist’ strawberries-and-cream world for the BRICs.

Yes “Ruthless ‘democracies’ will prevail in the Western Realm”. And ruthless dictatorships will prevail in the Eastern and global south realm. The last 4 years have been a class war by the Owners and Controllers of Global Financial Capital against the whole planet. It might be waged using different tactics in different regions, but the aim is the same – total control of humanity.

I found your Brighteon interview fascinating with its unique approac & have just finished and enjoyed reading your substack. Thank you. I am familiar with David Webbs The Great Taking as well and agree with what you have laid out although an argument can be made that the plan is to divide the world into 6 or 7 trading blocks under the control of the BIS, UN, WHO and a one world religion under the Pope installed in a rebuilt 3rd Temple. As Deb noted in her comments the whole world was in lockstep and Putin fairly recently said that the BRICS plus should discuss a framework for attaining climate change goals.

That aside, Fadi, do you have an idea when the financial collapse will take place and if you were a UK citizen where would you escape to?

Thank you.

It is possible that world may be divided into several trading blocks as you suggest. Personally I believe highest probability is for 2 blocks. One which is dominated by BIS, IMF, World Bank, existing commodity exchanges, rating agencies, etc. and another with it's separate financial and monetary institutions. There could be some trade as exists now between US, EU and Russia.

Putin may have said BRICS to discuss climate change goals. But Russia is investing heavily in upstream activities for oil and gas. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels in itself is not a bad idea as known reserves are less than 100 years. However forcing agenda of Net Zero and reliance on intermittent sources (wind, solar) which account for less than 15% of global energy demand is suicidal, and has a highly detrimental impact on economies, and hence livelihood of societies.

I never try to guess time of a singularity (crash/black swan event). With complex systems it is never advisable; however trends can be readily discerned, and the endgame can be pretty accurately figured. Western societies lost there sovereignty with introduction of privately owned banks, hence lost effective control of their economies. With loss of sovereignty governance is no longer aimed at the best interest of the populations. This was materially OK so long as colonialism and neo-colonialism enabled siphoning enough wealth from around the world. As this ability is weakened, a steady degradation in material quality of life set in, which can be witnessed since 2007; more importantly with impoverishment, harsher mass control measures are necessary, hence the steady move towards totalitarianism in the West.

My first year of school was in London, and my MSc was at the City University in London (1977-1978). I loved it. But is has degraded significantly since. There is whole wide world out there, and you would be welcome anywhere. I have a small coffee and fruits plantation in the mountains in north Thailand where I used to go bike touring every year. It is a beautiful country, with very friendly people and low cost of living, Other countries in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Latin America are very nice too, and they all will have improving economic conditions.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I've seen David Webb's full expose and read his pdf book.

I remember reading an article in which the Russians claimed oil was abiotic and that the Russians were able to keep their wells running because they would clean up the bores which cake up over time like limescale does whilst the west would abandon the wells.

Thailand does sound nice. Do you speak their language or they speak english? The biggest obstacle I foresee is being able to move one's money there.

You can manage easily just with English.

There shouldn't be any problem transferring funds from UK to Thailand. I have transferred funds from Europe to Thailand, both for my motorcycle tours and for the plantation. You may need to travel to Thailand first, and set up a bank account to transfer funds to.

There is (or was) a you tube of Fletcher Prouty confirming the reality of abiotic oil. It was out there in the aftermath of the Deep Water Horizon event in the Gulf of Mexico. I couldn't find it last I looked, but I'm vaguely remembering something about an agreement (Rockefeller et al) to establish scarcity via the fossil fuel theory at a specific convocation the name and date of which I can't dredge up. I just finished this 3 part series. At Part ll,.. I started remembering

reading somewhere that Communism in Russia was connected to an attempt to lock up resources for future control which were still under exploitation elsewhere for the oil barons. There's choice irony in the success of Russia/China et al. The way they are forging is what the newly independent African countries were aiming for ideally in the 60s before their non-aligned movement got aborted. Now we're being fitted for an even narrower straitjacket. I can only hope it doesn't fit.

I believe there is merit to abiotic oil theory. To my knowledge the Russians are leaders in this field. This is a good reference:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/215/1/012103/pdf

The critical thing to realize is that human material development has been historically linked to energy. Initially as domesticating animals for transport and agriculture, hydro energy for grain milling, then slaves for agriculture, construction, mining, transport, etc. Followed by coal, oil, gas and nuclear energy. "Development" was associated with availability of energy resource, it is thus not surprising that since thousands of years, wars were waged to increase available energy sources.

One can posit that slavery was only abolished when much more effective sources of energy were discovered.

Reference your statement:

"Communism in Russia was connected to an attempt to lock up resources for future control which were still under exploitation elsewhere for the oil barons."

It wouldn't surprise me, knowing that the Bolshevik revolution was financed by New York bankers, and that on fall of the USSR Russian energy and other resources were taken over by oligarchs to the benefit of "oil barons"

Reference:

"There's choice irony in the success of Russia/China et al. The way they are forging is what the newly independent African countries were aiming for ideally in the 60s before their non-aligned movement got aborted."

There are major differences between Russia/China of the 1950s & 1960s and now.

They both have been liberated from their ideological "straitjacket" and recovered their civilizational heritage, Orthodoxy in Russia, Confucianism in China. The emerging world will not be "multi polar" but rather "multi civilizational" this is a very important fact. From Why The West Can't Win:

"The Sovereign World will see a variety of development models coming into existence, reflecting the civilizational diversity of the world. It is this civilizational diversity, where each civilization has its own unique features, that is the cornerstone of an egalitarian world and a key component of the right to self-determination. Inherent in civilizational diversity is the acceptance of the cultural and religious orientations of the different civilizations, hence an acceptance of the ‘others’ as they are."

Precisely this "civilizational diversity" has always been my sense of wealth, beauty and excitement. Like too many people in this world I've experienced a minimum of it first hand, but it exists in myriad forms that are the real food, without which, well, forget it. Kaput.

I must read your book, but jn the interim, may I ask, about the concept, practice, implementation (?) of “multiculturalism and diversity” in West? Is this an artificial or forced attempt of the West to somehow compete with the East while still maintaining private banking? Maybe one of the reasons for mass migration to West from East and South - to diversify? Seeing as we are looking East for the future, in comparison, is China very diverse? I don’t know. I’ve never been there but have very good friends from there and it doesn’t sound terribly diverse. However, my idea of diverse is influenced by my Western upbringing. Do all people in China, for instance, have to comply with the overarching Chinese culture (?) (Han Chinese)? I might be making assumptions, as I’ve never been there.

Another question: if western bloc has been struggling to maintain its dominance and knew it would have to pursue plan B instead of world domination, why is it necessary to implement management of west by totalitarian control and impoverishment of people living in the West? Would that be because the protected class would also face a lowered standard of living if they were not to confiscate everything and implement total control?

Expand full comment
author

The middle class in the West has already been greatly reduced by the neoliberal economy & globalization implemented since the 1980s.

A significant deterioration resulting in impoverishment is a consequence of greatly reduced ability to siphon wealth from the Global South.

For the Protected Class (Money Powers), personal material wealth is irrelevant, "power" is their obsession. When it was possible to siphon wealth from Global South, they adopted the Roman Empire recipe: "Give the poor bread and circuses and they will not revolt".

With reduced ability to siphon wealth globally, the above recipe is no longer valid, hence totalitarianism is necessary for control.

Thank you Mr. Lama for your responses and clarification! I understand there is a desire for total power, however, how will these elites maintain their wealth? What will be their source of wealth to maintain their lifestyles if they cannot siphon it from where they have been? Where will they get their products & services if nothing of value is produced, made or sold and the RIC is their enemy? Will regular people living in the western bloc be able to leave? Will everyone here be treated equally bad or do they have a hierarchy in mind ? I understand if you can’t answer all these questions. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

No definite answers, but we can brainstorm which would possibly clarify:

1. How will these elites maintain their wealth?

The same way, that in the poorest countries today, there are billionaires. For example Mr. Muhammed Aziz Khan of Bangladesh: https://www.forbes.com/profile/muhammed-aziz-khan/?sh=7dda5e1f8ec0

2. Where will they get their products & services if nothing of value is produced, made or sold and the RIC is their enemy?

Industry, agriculture and mining will exist, but not on a large enough scale to maintain past standards of living. The billionaires will maintain their extravagant lifestyles, as in 1 above. Security services and system technocrats will have an adequate life.

3. Will regular people living in the western bloc be able to leave?

Will be getting more difficult. I have been telling my nephew in NY for years: "Get off the Titanic while you can". I have also been advising my friends for several years to keep their savings in physical gold held outside the banking system & outside the West.

4. Will everyone here be treated equally bad or do they have a hierarchy in mind ?

There will always be hierarchies in life. In particular providers of security services and technocrats needed for running the system will be better off than most of the population. I think a good reference would be George Orwell's 1984

It should be noted, that already there is great wealth disparity in "democracies". I devote a section of the book "Why The West Can't Win" to this issue. Actually I was planning to write an article on this, based on recent Federal Reserve data.:

https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distribute/table/

Suffice to note that by Q4 2023:

Wealth of the top 0.1% of households is 5.5 times greater than the bottom 50%.

i.e. wealth of a top 0.1% household equals wealth of 500 households of the 0-50%

or $1 million for the top 0.1% is equivalent to $2,000 for the 0-50%

Wealth of the 50% - 90%: Is essentially median house price + barely enough to cover good university education expenses for 1 kid.

So the class structure in the US has become:

Poor: 0 to 90%

Middle class: 90% to 99%

Rich: 99% to 99.9%

Elite: 99.9% to 100%

It’s all very sobering. It sounds like the walls are closing in … as in 2020. With all the data mining & tracking of the population I shudder to think how it will all be used. In the West population is declining, life span is decreasing, wages stagnant. With all the talk of this brilliant tech age we’re in, it makes one wonder if it really is so brilliant (or advanced) as it’s being presented. It appears whatever tech is available may be used to further subjugate people rather than improve lives. I suppose the RIC has better intentions, though I don’t really know as there are greedy people at the top of all the hierarchies. Thank you again Dr. Lama. I’ll be getting your book.

I hope so. It’s hard to believe that they have controlled the world for a thousand years! Making people miserable around the globe.

Mathias Desmet's book is an eye opener and is especially relevant in the current phase world is passing through.

Alex Krainer, I am subscribed to his substack and I have quoted him in my book:

The status of the RIC versus the West is well summarized by Alex Krainer:

Russia has matched and in many ways surpassed the west in military technologies.

China has become the world’s leading high technology powerhouse.

… the west today, like the Soviet Union thirty years ago, is wasting resources to keep zombie corporations on life support, ploughing trillions of dollars into ‘Net-Zero’ projects.

… we can expect the technological gap between the west and the emerging multi-polar world to continue to diverge.

… the western powers are at the same time increasingly less intimidating to their opponents and less attractive to would-be allies and collaborators.

The era of colonial ‘free lunches’ might be irreversibly slipping away.

If this scenario is true, why did so much of the world including China lock everyone down during the covid? Also what is the role of medicine mandates and why did South America and South Asia also enact these mandates if it’s all about Western elites control of Western bloc?

True a lot is going on at once, an indication of the increasing across the board instability.

1. China lockdown: In the previous decade China was subjected to a number of viruses that had a catastrophic impact on its farming. So their approach was that of biological warfare. Same in Iran, where a number of their leadership died early on.

2. Medical mandates in global south: These were "orders" from the WHO, supported with IMF loans for compliance. This was coupled with mainstream media hype had scared people all over the world. When people are scared they are less rational, and would be more pliable to following irrational orders. This is essence of what is referred to as "Strategy of Tension".

3. Western elites: Inaccurate designation, it is not a "Western" elite, it is a miniscule global elite.

4. DEI: & Open Borders: Resistance of a community is based on strength of it's "civilizational bonding", the common value system, traditions, religion of the community etc. that can be traced back a millennium or more. Success in controlling communities hinges on the ability to destroy or weaken the "civilizational bonding".

- DEI attacks the value system that has filtered through the ages; thereby weakening the "civilizational bonding".

- Open borders: By having significant influx of immigrants will dilute the common / dominant "civilizational bonding".

This has been wave after wave of biological warfare, including the seeding of millions of mourners after Soleimani was drone-assassinated under Trump, and they conveniently and predictably massed in the streets of major cities, with politicians on podiums.

The COVID viral family of pandemic strains has not been a standard evolution, but has proved to be a lot of discrete viral entities when studied, appearing consistent with multiple releases of multiple lab-engineered strains.
