Middle East Digest

Iraq

The embassy of Iran is being attacked in Iraq.  Of course this could be because of underlying tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims but it is more likely that this is agitation against Iran by Western powers.

Iran

It is surely not a “coincidence” that  anti-government protests have also erupted in Iran at the same time as the Iranian embassy is attacked in Iraq.   This seems coordinated and one suspects the hand of CIA supported MEK stirring up internal trouble in Iran.  The Iranian authorities have brutally put down the protests which is to be expected.   Of course this allows the West to virtue signal about the despotic Iranian regime suppressing its freedom loving people but we suspect the hand of Ayatollah Mike. After all, things are rarely what they seem in the Middle East and anyone who believes the MSM is being spoon fed lies.  Apparently, the Iranians have acquired “new  (improved) centrifuges” and will have nuclear weapons within the next few months.  We know that this is true because it has been reported by the Gatestone institute with the full approval of its member John Bolton.  It looks like war with Iran is imminent because their other measures (sanctions, protests etc) are not working.

Israel

As we know, the Trump Administration again demonstrated its subservience to Israel by giving away the Palestinian West Bank.  It is dangerous for the US to normalize illegal Jewish settlements as it allows Israel’s extreme right-wing government to single-handedly determine the fate of the Palestinian people. Netanyahu has been indicted for bribery and this makes him extremely dangerous and more likely to instigate a war.

In the meantime the Holocaust takes on the dimensions of a leftist religious cult.  It is a creed that is dogmatic and must therefore not be questioned. Moreover, suffering and genocide belong exclusively to the Jewish people as no one else  has ever suffered.  We must look to Jerusalem and the Jewish people to develop our spirituality and expunge ourselves of our in-built racism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Money is a Gas

Posted on (Updated: )

Mammon is a Gas

Money is a gas, or should that be mammon is a gas? 

Perhaps we should sing along with the Floyd —–

 

The article that follows may seem “parochial” because it refers to Australian politics but that is not the case.  What is happening in Australia cannot be isolated from what is happening globally. Corruption is systemic and even the “big four” accounting firms who audit the financial institutions are involved.  So, this article presents a micro-cosmic insight into global maleficence.  

 

First a disclaimer. Although a non-voter (for religious reasons) the following video from the Citizens Party  is recommended because the movement stands for anti-corruption and supports a national bank as well as the introduction of  Glass–Steagall legislation in order to separate retail banking from investment banking.   Although the Citizens Party  currently holds no seats in the Australian parliament they have been very influential in the background which is why the movement has been variously portrayed as right-wing, left-wing, a cult and/or anti-Semitic. This means that their bombs are on target as anyone who opposes vested banking interests is seen as a threat. 

Fraud does not Work

 

The current conservative (liberal) government is pushing to introduce a cash-ban bill purportedly to prevent ordinary people from “money laundering” or “tax-avoidance”.    Meanwhile it has been discovered that one of the biggest banks (Westpac) has been involved in 23 million counts of illegal activity regarding money used in pedophilia, child exploitation and child rape.  These banks are “audited” by the “big four” accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young (EY), KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers).  It was KMPG that promoted the “cash-ban” for ordinary people because “heaven forbid” you might pay someone $30 cash for mowing your lawn! (the horror).   The ban is for amounts over $10,000 AUD but the bill can easily be reduced and there is already talk   of a $2000 limit or less.  Obviously, they do not like the freedom that cash represents.  They want all wealth captured by the banks so that they can go negative on interest rates and in extremis they can take depositors money via a bank bail-in.   This has nothing to do with preventing money laundering because without money laundering their banks would not make any profits.   People are catching on to their hypocrisy and criminality.    Even the state Liberal party of Victoria voted against the cash-ban bill and asked that it be withdrawn.   The media have been virtually silent on the issue and ordinary people are not even aware of the machinations to curb their freedom and quickly pass “new laws” because they are so “concerned” about the “black economy” (LOL).  The government asked for public submissions on the cash-ban bill then promptly rejected thousands of negative submissions.  When new legislation is proposed the government must request and examine public submissions (and publish them) as part of the legal process. They received an unprecedented 4,000 submissions which they rejected.  It was only because the Citizens Party protested and requested the documentation via FOIA that the government relented and published some of the submissions.  Mine was not published so I am making it available here and have posted it on ministers Facebook pages (LOL).

Greed is not Good

 

So, the Citizens Party have my support in their attempts to introduce common sense, morality and plain decency into the financial system.  It is the right thing to do and for a nation that purports to be “Christian” with a “Christian” Prime Minister they should purge the evil of the money-changers from the temple like Jesus did.

A common interpretation is that Jesus was reacting to the practice of the money changers in routinely cheating the people, but Marvin L. Krier Mich observes that a good deal of money was stored at the temple, where it could be loaned by the wealthy to the poor who were in danger of losing their land to debt. The Temple establishment therefore co-operated with the aristocracy in the exploitation of the poor. One of the first acts of the First Jewish-Roman War was the burning of the debt records in the archives.

The first temples functioned as banks.  Within a week of challenging the “money-changers” Jesus was dead.  That is how they react.  They close ranks and protect their own.  So, although apolitical, I make no apology for supporting a movement that wants to clean up corruption and neither should you.

The “liberal” government opposed the banking Royal Commission that exposed the dark underbelly of corruption.  It is (once again) the liberal government that wants to introduce (sneak-in) the cash ban bill.    Are they fighting for the people or are they supporting vested interests?   This is what Wikipedia has to say about the Federal Treasurer:

“Josh Frydenberg was born in Melbourne and educated at Bialik and Mount Scopus Colleges. His mother, Erika Strausz, is a psychologist and University of Melbourne professor and his father Harry is a general surgeon. His mother was a Hungarian Jew born in 1943 who arrived in Australia in 1950 as a stateless child from a refugee camp after escaping from The Holocaust. His father is also Jewish, and emigrated to Australia from Poland……… In 2005 he took up a position as a Director of Global Banking with Deutsche Bank in the company’s Melbourne office”.

 

Is this the same Deutsche bank that recently got rid of 21,000 people and had to create a “bad bank” for all its derivative junk?  No vested interest there.   Move along now.  Nothing to see here.  These people have no shame and no conscience and they will bleed you dry in order to survive when the time comes.  

 

It is all coming down

The system is rocking on its foundations.  An underbelly of corruption, pedophilia, drug running, is being exposed.  Where do you think that money from the multi-billion dollar refugee (smuggling) ends up?  Women and children are literally sold into sexual slavery and this is aided and abetted by the banks who want to capture your cash.   The Apocalypse says that “Great Babylon” even traded in the “souls (life) of men” (Rev 18:13) and that aptly describes these criminal people smugglers who exploit misery and suffering.   The system faces imminent collapse and is not as stable as they want you to believe.  It functions on confidence and faith (in fiat) but I would rather place my faith elsewhere.  The problem is that when it goes it will be replaced with something even more draconian and controlling. The oligarchs (merchants) will not voluntarily surrender their wealth and power.    In AD 70 the merchants lost their beloved bank (temple) but that was merely a cameo of future events. The Apocalypse presents repeat patterns (see my PRITA commentary).  Judgement happened then and judgement is coming again.

 

Postscript:   This article linking  suicides at Deutsche Bank has just come to my attention

 

Do you wanna be in my gang?

Do you wanna be in my gang?

The Gangs of New York (Part 2)

We already met the Anglo-Zionist gang in part one. Now it is time to meet the other gang which I have called the Globo-Bolsheviks.  

Do you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang?
Do you wanna be in my gang, oh yeah?
……I'm the leader, I'm the leader, 
I'm the leader of the gang, I am
I'm the leader, I'm the leader, well, 
there's no one like the man I am

Do you recognise the lyrics?   They come from “I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am)” by glam rocker Garry Glitter who was imprisoned for paedophilia.  The next gang we are going to be looking at is deeply engaged in child sexual trafficking.   They also want to break down all societal norms  with the rainbow flag of a hyper-sexualized culture displacing the national flag; the intensely individualist lifestyle supplanting any connection to the nuclear family tradition, and Western society becoming a bubbling cauldron of dreams and desires so multitudinous that nothing short of martial law will be able to control it. Similar to the Anglo-Zionist gang they also virtue signal but unlike them they do not use religion but rather individual freedom, egalitarianism, diversity etc.    They promote “open borders” and “democracy”.   George Soros is the poster boy for this movement and he has his tentacles everywhere  his malign influence even reaches into Australia.    The push for open borders fractures society and encourages child trafficking  with many of the NGO’s becoming fronts for illegal activity.

 

The Globo-Bolshevik gang is obviously much bigger than George Soros just as the Anglo-Zionist gang is much bigger than just Trump.  They are mere figureheads.  It is notable that the very things that this gang openly virtue-signals for is the opposite of what it achieves.  For example, Soros seeks to prevent corruption in the Ukraine and to this end he has created two anti-corruption bodies and restructured the judiciary.  The result is the most corrupt country in Europe.  Similarly, they are very big on preventing child exploitation and this is done through a number of charities and NGO’s including the Clinton Foundation.   And yet, despite a coordinated global effort child exploitation has greatly increased.    

 

Conspiracy Theory

Of course, I hear you say, it is all a conspiracy theory.  Unfortunately, I wish it was true, but people do very evil things.  There is a lot of money to be made by criminal organizations and it is ideal as a tool for Mel in Conspiracy Theoryblackmail. Moreover, it fits the ideology of those political psychopaths who see themselves as above morality or any form of law. They are superior (gods) answerable to no one.  They desire a hugely reduced population that can be easily controlled. They only want a few obedient workers, much of the labour will be done by robots and AI.  They are apex predators and the remaining population will be for their pleasure and sport. They expect to become trans-human – advanced humans supplemented by technology and DNA manipulation.   Therein lies true madness and wickedness.

 

Gangster-ism

Jewish Russian mobster

The line between politics and gangster-ism is completely blurred.  A veneer of civilization and ethics is on display to allow the distracted masses plausible deniability and to present their political agenda as virtuous.   They are often connected with the Jewish Mafia usually presented by the press as Russians.  They are actually Russian Jews. This is exactly what they did with the predominately Pakistani child rapists in the UK by calling them Asians.  Israel seems to be a hub for sexual slavery, particularly from Ukraine and Russia but operations occur globally.  Israel benefits to the tune of a half billion dollars from the sex industry.  However, they do seem to be making efforts to clean up their image.

 

Cultural Marxism, Eco-fascism and bankers

 

Cultural Marxism of the Jewish Frankfurt school is employed to divide and fracture society. A people that are divided and distracted are easily controlled. The education system is infiltrated in order to brainwash the next generation and Mainstream Media (MSM) and Hollywood propagandize the public.   Meanwhile the banking oligarchy represented by the Central Banks have jumped onto the “green” bandwagon.  Do you think it is because they are so concerned for the environment?   They want financial regime change and a bankers dictatorship.  All this is made possible through technocracy  and using energy/carbon to control population which is all part of UN Agenda 21.      With the roll out of 5G and the “internet of things” we are headed for a complete surveillance state.  Everything will be monitored and controlled.   Dissent will see people ex-communicated from the system, effectively not able to buy or sell.

So, do you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang?

Empire of oppression

 

 

US says Israeli settlements no longer considered illegal in dramatic shift. The Declaration marks rejection of 2016 UN resolution that settlements on the West Bank are a ‘flagrant violation’ of international law

 

Christian-Zionists

Is this what God wants?  Really?   Christian-Zionists are nothing but false prophets justifying bad behavior.   At the last count 32 Palestinians were killed (mainly women and children) in the recent trouble and homes turned to rubble and no Israeli deaths.  That is because the Palestinian rockets are not guided – they fire them indiscriminately.   However, the media no longer reports Palestinian deaths.  They do not count.   All they have are stones and kites.  Judgement Day is coming. Tick Tock.

 

The Gangs of New York (Part -1)

Posted on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw the movie “The Gangs of New York” (again) recently.  It is really very good but extremely violent and highlights “tribalism” with the “natives” fighting the Irish for the territory of the five points- Hell’s Kitchen.  It is based on history and it got me thinking about the nature of man and his propensity for violence and self-deception and particularly about the gang phenomenon.

Two Gangs

I thought it was a good metaphor for looking at the “two gangs” that are currently fighting each other for global supremacy.  They are also extremely violent but much of the violence is hidden.  They (both gangs) have become masters at projecting virtue.  They have to be seen to be “good” in order to keep the public on board. One gang stands for freedom and Judaeo-Christian values and the other gang stands for environmental responsibility and equality. However, either gang would happily stab you to death or beat you with a cudgel if you get in their way.  We are going to have a look at both gangs.

 

The Anglo-Zionist Gang

This gang is not led by “Bill the butcher” but by Trump.  Bill liked to use his meat cleaver as a weapon, but Trump and his cohorts use the Bible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You think I am being ridiculous?  What about the CIA coup in Bolivia? Bolivia whose socialist government has just been toppled in a coup apparently led by God—that began a fortnight ago when a little known minor Bolivian political figure named Luis Fernando Camacho having only 125,000 Twitter followers in a nation of 11.5 million peoples, left his home in the eastern province of Santa Cruz on a walk to his nation’s capital city La Paz—a walk Camacho began in his bid to overthrow godless socialist leader President Evo Morales and return Bolivia back to Christianity—saw him declaring when he began his walk: “I am not going with the weapons, I go with my faith and my hope; with a Bible in my right hand and his letter of resignation in my left hand”—and upon Camacho reaching La Paz—saw him entering the Government Palace and kneeling in prayer with his Bible—after which Bolivian military and police forces forced socialist leader Morales to flee to Mexico—that was immediately followed by Bolivian interim president Jeanine Añez proclaiming to the entire world: “God has allowed the Bible to come back into the palace. May He bless us.”—a proclamation cheered by President Donald Trump who said: “We are now one step closer to a completely democratic, prosperous, and free Western Hemisphere.”—but whose own battle against godless socialist forces was gravely warned about yesterday when US Attorney General William Barr accused these demons of “waging a scorched-earth, no-holds-barred war of resistance” against Trump that involves the “systematic shredding of norms and undermining the rule of law”.  Here is Camacho kneeling in prayer with his Bible:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is interim president Jeanine Añez holding the Bible:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul Craig Roberts has the following to say;

“What has happened everywhere in the world is that nothing 
is any longer important but money. Therefore, everything 
is sacrificed for money. There is no shame, no honor, no integrity, 
no truth, no justice. Maybe the biblical prophesies are true, and 
Armageddon is our future. Who can say we don’t deserve it.”

Defeating Evil

I am so pleased that the Bible has defeated the evil President Morales (morality). Evo Morales was president of Bolivia for more than 12 years, heralding the ascent of the indigenous social movements to governmental power. This ended the apartheid system against the indigenous that existed for 500 years in Bolivia. Morales won in 2005 with 53.7% of the vote, followed by re-elections in 2009 with 64.2% and 2014 with 61.3%.The country has made great strides in economic development, national sovereignty, women’s and Original Peoples’ rights, respect for Mother Earth, raising the people’s standard of living, level of education, and health care.

He declared independence from the World Bank and IMF and nationalised the silver mines.  Such evil must be stopped.  We cannot have the benefits going to ordinary people.  Quickly we must defeat this “evil socialism” and bash him with a BIBLE.  The Orange Jesus otherwise known as “Bill the butcher” approves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trump sent his attorney General William Barr to talk about “religious awakening” at Notre Dame and the suckers fell for it.  This is the same William Barr whose father hired Epstein to teach at his school.  Here follows a short bio on William Barr a truly, deeply religious man that  rejected Judaism and converted to Catholicism.  Attorney General William Barr also announced a new Orwellian “pre-crime” program inspired by  the “War on Terror”, how will we cope with all this freedom? Trump has connections with the Jewish mafia (the Steele dossier was in my view largely fabricated) especially interesting is the religious organization “Chabad” which seems to be a front.

 

Conspiracy theories?

I hear you say it is all “conspiracy theories”.  Do you really want to go down the rabbit hole and look at how the post WW2 intelligence agencies were formed and how the “modern” world really works?   In that case read the following article (very good).  It shows the links between religion, money and intelligence agencies.  Remember the Pope’s banker found lynched under Black Friars bridge?  (Yeah, “conspiracy”).   If you have time watch the following videos and educate yourself:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS7IFWmTyFw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6pSsLe1SjU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w06uX0rXuPg

 

Do you want the Good news or the Bad News?

Do you want the good news or the bad news?   The good news is that the Anglo-Zionists are the good guys.  They are only responsible for 100 million deaths, environmental catastrophe and debt slavery but they are deeply, oh so deeply religious.  They will probably help Israel exterminate the Palestinians and set up temple worship…. the Bible wins (hoorah).

Yeah, you heard right…they are the good guys…wait until you meet the bad guys.  Next time I hope to introduce the other gang.  I think we have ended up in Hell’s Kitchen.

Debunking Fake Narratives

Posted on

We are going to look at a number of fake narratives currently in the news cycle. It is rather depressing but nearly everything is a lie nowadays.  It becomes increasingly difficult to discern the truth.  Of course, that is what they want. What is the point of having a “free press” if you can’t believe a word they say?  The narratives are meant to cause division. There is an ongoing war for your mind.  Every intelligence agency employs online “trolls” and “bots” to influence public opinion. The mainstream media (MSM) on TV and in the news paper industry is utterly corrupt.  Not only in what they report but what they deliberately omit.   No more reporting on the “Yellow vests” (but report riots in Hong Kong) no more reporting on Julian Assange etc.   They are filtering content so you only see what they want you to see. Out of sight is out of mind.  They control the narrative.  Israel employs university students at $2,000 a pop to post positive comments on forums.  They are called Hasbara trolls. Hasbara is a Hebrew word meaning explain – it is a form of propaganda aimed at an international audience, primarily, but not exclusively, in western countries. It is meant to influence the conversation in a way that positively portrays Israeli actions.   In the comment section of news sights, you will often get reply’s to pro-Israeli comments such as: “What is the weather like in Tel-Aviv?”  (or something much worse). The Americans also do the same, as does the UK (with anti-Russian propaganda) and China etc. They all do it.

 

Debunking fake narratives

The death of Le Mesurie

The first that we look at is the death of Le Mesurie founder of the White Helmets.

 

 

Whatever the case might be it is “coincidence” that he “fell” of his balcony just as the USA is withdrawing from parts of Syria. It is also suspicious that his Wikipedia entry is being heavily edited and changed.  Was he the man who knew too much? Wikipedia is completely infiltrated by intelligence agencies where it is now absolutely impossible to not get instantaneous ban for challenging the official narrative on politically hot topics from shared admins accounts belonging to the CIA/Mossad/MI6. In many cases like the page from Daniele Ganser, a Swiss author who wrote books about illegal NATO wars, operation Gladio and challenging the official 9/11 narrative, they just lock the pages for edits after they filled them with slander. The White Helmets were “humanitarians” who rescued the “children” from the nasty Syrian “chemical attacks”.  The White Helmets operation was managed for MI6 by Le Mesurier was both a channel for logistic support to Western backed jihadists and a propaganda operation to shill for war in Syria, as in Iraq or Libya.  After his death his page was heavily edited  and the fact is that the chemical attacks were staged and  fake videos were financed by the UK and the US.  It looks to me like someone is “cleaning house” like they did with Epstein.  There have been a number of high-profile deaths recently.  It is a bit bad when you need to refer to Assad to get the truth (LOL).

 

The Trump impeachment

The coverage in Australia on the MSM is very anti-Trump. Any shots from the “impeachment hearing” (which is not really an impeachment at all but a show trial) are negative.  You will need to look on the internet to find this:

 


Why is this important?  It is important because it is linked to the Middle East and Israel.  The weapons, corruption, uranium smuggling and gangsterism in the Ukraine funded other black operations.   The democratically elected Ukrainian government was ousted by a coup (colour revolution) under the Obama administration and replaced with a fascist neo-Nazi faction.

 

George Soros has controlled the Ukraine for 30 years and impoverished the country. He hates corruption so much that he replaced the judiciary and now has two anti-corruption bodies (LOL).  It is just a “coincidence” that the “highly qualified” children of prominent Democrats (the sons of Biden, Pelosi and Kerry) all found millionaire jobs in the Ukraine as “consultants”.   To say nothing of Hillary Clinton pay to play and Uranium one.  However, do you hear anything…. anything at all in the MSM except……Russia bad, Russia bogeyman? Impeach Trump?  Former CIA Director Brennan has been joined in his attacks on the president by other former high-ranking members of the deep state, including former FBI chief James Comey and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The chief “whistle-blower” for the prosecution (who was not even present to hear the phone call) is CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella.  Ask yourself this.  Why is the deep state so afraid?  What dirt are they hiding?

 

In this fake narrative the same Jews reappear such as Kissinger who opened up China in the 1970’s and is now warning of WW3.  We have all been played. They are nothing but elite gangsters who have arranged the world for their own benefit. Psychopaths is a more apt description.

 

Trump supporters expect many Democrats and intelligence people to be charged with treason against the constitution.  Many obtain information from a mysterious entity called Qanon, whose website posts are very pro-Trump and they have been removed and blocked in the past but have recently reappeared for the impeachment process. The posts often do seem to anticipate what will happen and they are probably closely linked with pro-Trump intelligence assets. This X22 Report shows how the “Q-drops” (intelligence drops) are being used and circulated to keep up morale and propagandize.  Trump is intent in weeding out the corruption.  Trump is indeed “fighting the swamp” but is he “controlled opposition”?  According to the “patriots” it is all going according to plan as evidence of treason and corruption is about to be released. Note the strong religious element in the Q posts (the latest post is a quote from Ephesians “putting on the whole armour of God”). Even the rapper Kayne West has declared himself a big Trump supporter and produce a new album called “Jesus is King”.   Trumps attorney general recently gave a speech at Notre Dame in France about the need for religious revival.   We are seeing a “religious revival” supported by Christian Zionists.  Many Christians see Trump as a hero sent from God to stamp out all the corruption and perversion (paedophilia which is rampant cf. Epstein and Nexivm/Clinton/Rothschild connections).  It is easy to see how Christians might be swayed…. he is fighting the good fight.  However, be careful. He is an Anglo-Zionist.  Do not put your trust in men or the “princes of men” for God sends a strong delusion.

 

Brexit propaganda

 

This is what the German Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer says about Britain and Defence Union; “Brexit or not, the island won’t sail away. It remains part of our security architecture. I therefore propose that we make permanent the ‘E3-format’ that emerged around the Iran question”.  The E3-format is Britain, Germany and France.  Even if the UK leaves it will not be a “sovereign” nation that operates its military independently.   The EU is obsessed with expanding into Northern-Africa.  Remember that France (Algeria) and Italy (Libya) had colonies in Northern-Africa.  They want a presence in the Sahel.   Do they know something that we don’t?    The Sahel regions could be turned into a global “breadbasket” with coming climate change.   Remember that Egypt used to be the breadbasket of the ancient world?   Perhaps they also want to block the Chinese belt and road initiative for Africa?   Whatever the case…. those who believe (for religious reasons) that Britain will have a clean break from the EU need to think again.  It is not gonna happen as the UK will support EU expansionism and will still be part of the EU defence system.  That does not sound like sovereignty to me.  As for NATO, even Macron thinks that it is withering on the vine.

 

Israel and Syria?

The website  21st Century Wire has some good articles on the Middle East. It seems well balanced and propaganda free. There is so much disinformation everywhere.  The next video explains what Trump really means by ‘Take the Oil’ in Syria:

 

 

 

The Israeli attack on Damascus which triggered the rocket reprisals was all for nothing because they missed their target and killed innocents instead (hasbara your way out of that).

 

Oil, Spoil and Poopaganda

 

According to Saudi Arabia their oil wells do not have a decline rate, and yet Ghawar the major oil field in the world, is now subject to water flooding techniques to eke out production. That can require 4,000,000 billion barrels of water per well per day….in the desert!  (it will need to be fresh water as salt breaks down the polymer additions that are added to push the oil out). Wikileaks information showed top secret cables between Saudi and the US that confirmed they had overstated their reserves and could not pump any more oil…

 

No coincidence, as this preceded the Ponzi shale, that was wheeled in to try to suggest there was an oil glut, even though the companies producing it, heavily subsidized, ZIRP and NIRP and tapping investors were selling their oil $30 cheaper than it cost them to produce. Then we saw the demonising of all things hydrocarbon, and how wonderful Renewable energy and EV’S were before the onslaught against plastics, ironically where we’ve known for years that single use plastic is bad and which could be rectified easily.

 

Then of course add to that the frenzy over climate change, then it’s clear that fossil fuels are in short supply really, and all of this other crap is to paint a different picture to stop oil fetching around $100 bbl, where ironically when calculating true resource costs and power it’s still cheaper than renewables, still less toxic when you consider the manufacturing processes, the toxic materials, the explosive materials used in the batteries and the lifespan of the batteries which is not living up to expected longevity. So much so that adverts are appearing already about how wonderful that spent EV batteries are being used for this that or something else, when actually their reduced longevity completely ruins the resource cost of EV vehicles, where a Finnish report suggested an EV battery alone was the equivalent resource cost of driving a diesel for 8.2 years….except now we find these EV batteries alone are not even lasting 8.2 years.

This is probably why Saudi is pushing an IPO and wants to float Aramco on the stock market to raise billions.  Selling a dead horse?  The recent announcement by Iran of a major oil find might be true or it might be a strategy to depress the IPO prices for the Saudi oil float (LOL). In the end the looming financial crisis is linked to oil.   More and more debt is required because of EROI (Energy Return On Investment).   It is not that it is running out….it costs more to get it out the ground because it is becoming more inaccessible (drilling at sea) and therefore the cost of recovery distorts everything.

Economics

Perhaps the biggest lies are being told about global economics.  Consumer confidence must be kept high because once it falls it all collapses.  We have learned nothing from history  and when it all crashes it will be no one’s fault.

 

Israel’s Threats, Challenges, and Opportunities

Posted on

Vision 2020:

Israel’s Threats, Challenges, and Opportunities

The following is  a report of a lecture held at Adelaide University (on 13 Nov 2019).  The speakers were Boaz Ganor and Ehud Yaari.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The two speakers are experts in their fields and knowledgeable on the Geo-politics of the Middle East. What follows are my impressions and a paraphrase of some important themes.  As I did not take notes, my  bad for any  misrepresentation.  I will contact the speakers and make them aware in case they wish to add any clarification or corrections.

The Palestinian problem

Ehud Yarri  placed his phone on the table and it immediately began to ping. The phone was being updated with news on the rocket attacks. This is what is currently happening in Israel:

 

 

A rather dramatic introduction to a lecture discussing threats.  Solutions to the Palestinian problem were discussed.  The “one state”  or “one man, one vote” option was rejected as it is inevitable that demographics would eventually create a minority Jewish nation. So  there is no chance of completely integrating Jew and Arab via the ballot box and democratic voting.  The two state solution was also rejected. Gaza is a “state-let” and is obviously geographically separated from the West Bank.  How can this entity function as an independent sovereign nation with a military? It is not politically viable, moreover, Ehud Yarri points out that corruption, patronage and dysfunction bedevils the Palestinian  modus operandi.   Ehud Yarri proposed walking away but offering help and a “strong embrace”.  It is obvious that a “strong embrace” can be interpreted in many ways. A python has a strong embrace. However, I am sure that Ehud Yarri  meant it in a sympathetic fashion. His desire for real engagement and sustainable peace was (in my view) genuine.  The problem is (as he admits) that when Sharon walked away from Gaza by dismantling  all of the Israeli settlements in  2005 it ultimately  led to the current Hamas government in Gaza.  It did not lead to any detente or improved conditions for Palestinians. They are basically left stewing in their own juice in a dysfunctional enclave, supported by US subsidies.  In my opinion completely disengaging is not a solution either.  Ehud Yarri’s reference to the occasional need to “mow the grass” was presumably in the context of the recent operations that resulted in retaliatory rocket attacks.   When I mow the grass at home it does not fire rockets back at me!   Suffice to say that any “solution” that perpetuates continuing low level conflict is in my view no solution.  Nobody wins.

 

It seems then that the Israelis are weary of trying to find a Palestinian solution.  The Palestinians are like a festering sore that will not heal.  The opinion seems to be shared by the other Arab nations in the region. Ehud Yarri succinctly stated that the Arabs do not announce policy changes “in front of the microphone”.  It is obvious that there has been a shift in attitude towards Israel among many Arab nations. Yet, the Palestinian problem remains, not only in Israel but also in neighboring Jordan.  While the Arab countries are becoming more friendly non-Arab states like Turkey and Iran are becoming more hostile.

 

However, I for one cannot blame the Palestinians.  They have taken a leaf out of the Jewish play-book and played their “victim” status to perfection.  The Palestinians are victims.  They are the victims of their own venal leadership, victims of Geo-political strategy and victims of Zionism.  Inconvenient they might be, but they will not voluntarily disappear into that long dark night.   In many ways their defiant obstinacy matches that of the ancient Hebrews,  who God called a stubborn and stiff-necked generation.

The Israeli Election

Ehud Yarri stated that after two elections at stalemate and with a third looming his “wet dream” was that a unity government could be formed with a rotating Prime Minister Ship.  Nentanyahu could possibly take the first “turn” and delay his judicial woe by launching an appeal that could take as long as four years to reach any conclusion.

The Trump Peace

According to Ehud Yarri the Trump peace initiative would not achieve anything. Kushner  et al had been made aware of the intransigence and hopeless condition of the Palestinians.  Although Trump had gifted Israel the embassy and the Golan, those were mere gestures. His withdrawal from Syria and “back-down”  to Iran are considered disappointing and dangerous.

The Arab Spring

The other speaker, Boaz Ganor is well connected in the counter-terrorism and intelligence worlds. He has been to the White House and met political scientist and diplomat Condoleezza Rice who was the Secretary of State under George Bush. Boaz Ganor started his discourse with a reference to the title of the talk “Vision” stating that even the prophets would have difficulty with a “vision” of Israel’s future.   This reminded me of Proverbs 29v.8: –

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: 
but he that keepeth the law, happy is he".

The nation does not keep the law like Abraham did (Gen 26:5). Their forefather Abraham kept the whole Law before it was even given!  (LOL)  If only they knew what that meant (John 8:39). 

 

The discussion moved onto the subject of the “Arab Spring” the result of youthful uprisings encouraged by the internet and the desire to have democratic “freedoms” like the West.  However, Boaz Ganor said that the Israeli’s did not call it the “Arab Spring” but rather the “Arab Winter” because  under the Muslim Brotherhood countries like Egypt became Islamic theocracies.  President Barack Obama had signaled the change to the Muslim world in a speech called “A New Beginning”  on 4 June 2009, from the Major Reception Hall at Cairo University in Egypt.  Members of the Muslim Brotherhood “sat in the front row”.   As soon as “democratic” elections were held the people voted the Brotherhood into power who proceeded to write a constitution for an Islamic theocracy based on Sharia law.  As we know, the brotherhood government  was overthrow and replaced by the military el-Sisi by a coup d’état in 2012.

 

At this point I questioned why, if the West believes in democracy, they ignored the will of the Egyptian people to elect an Islamic government.  Moreover, I stated that the uprisings were not spontaneous as the neoconservatives had stated that seven countries would face regime change over a five year period.  I pointed out that a hidden hand was at work in the recent Turkish coup (aligning Turkey towards Russia) and in the Saudi coup that brought MBS to power.  For good measure I asked if any WMD had been found yet in Iraq (LOL).   Of course, this drew an exchange of looks between the two speakers and provoked some dissembling but no real answers.  

The question of Iran and Russia

Boaz Ganor (and Ehud Yarri) emphasized that Russia was not a super power and had a small economy.  They stressed that Israeli military action in Syria was coordinated with Russia, that Putin has a flat in Jerusalem and that Netanyahu spends a lot of time phoning and joking with Putin and flying up and back to Sochi. Russia may not be a superpower but Putin is smart and he is a player and with a million Russian Jews living in Israel he has influence. 

Hezbollah operates as Iran’s  proxy in Lebanon and they fired approximately 3,000 rockets at Israel over a 40 day period in 2006.  Both speakers stressed that Iran now possesses GPS guided missiles that are very accurate as the Saudi oil field attack (which they blame on Iran) has demonstrated.  Iran now has the capability to fire an overwhelming 3,000 rockets a day.   From Israel’s viewpoint the situation looks grim especially with the Iranian nuclear build up and what they consider a psychopathic leadership intent on destroying the nation.

Of course, from an Iranian perspective the situation looks entirely different as they see Israel as a colonial western outpost (aberration) and because historically Iran experienced a coup  of their democratically elected government when they nationalized their oil resources they no longer trust the West. They do not  want a bar of western Neo-classical economics, Anglo-Zionist capitalism or “democracy” (who can blame them?).  The Persians (Iranians) are an ancient civilization, they are an industrious, clever people, who are hospitable and have for centuries entertained a Jewish religious community.

The question of war

Both speakers gauge that war is inevitable.  For them it is a question of determining the correct moment when a point of “no return” in the development of a nuclear arsenal is achieved by Iran.  However, the build up of conventional Iranian weaponry is also threatening.

Final public question/remark

My last question/remark evoked a response from  Ehud that still remains with me and makes me sad.  What I said to both speakers was that they neglected the “bigger picture” that the world was in transition from a uni-polar to a multi-polar system. Dollar hegemony was coming to an end as was US power and  Neo-classical economics and Anglo-Zionist capitalism was “shaking on its foundations”.  Was Israel  facing an existential crisis, and would the US help?   Both speakers looked perturbed, Boaz Ganor denied that the coming crisis was existential but Ehud Yarri said….. In the end no one will help us. We are all alone.

The impending catastrophe is no reason for  schadenfreude or a case of you reap what you sow.  It is an unnecessary tragedy that haunts me and fills me with sadness.  It is the time of Jacobs trouble  caused by his deception and attempt at self-deliverance.  You cannot rule with God until you realize that God rules.  You cannot struggle with man and at the same time wrestle God.  You will be forced to make supplications with strong tears and crying. Until Jacob repents and overcomes his old nature he will have no peace or security.

Your real friends are not the Christian-Zionists who encourage your bad behavior and act as your cheer leaders.  They are false prophets.  Your real friends are those who tell you to your face that you are wrong and need to repent.  Turn back to God and accept his messiah.  The messiah is not God. Neither is he another bar Kochba.  He is Jesus the son of God and he invites you to join him in becoming sons and daughters.  This time he comes not as a “suffering servant” but as King of Kings bearing divine authority. Make sure you are not among his enemies. 

I have informed both speakers and will post any response, clarifications or corrections

Must watch documentary

Posted on

Thought-provoking, daring, and highly relevant – this film is still worth watching.  Very good -recommended.  The run time is 1 hour 38 min but it is time not wasted.

This is an award-winning independent feature documentary which claims to lift the lid on how the world really works. The FOUR HORSEMEN delves into the inner working of the US-led, post-WWII financial order, including interviews with some 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men, in order to find a path forward for the world and hopefully establish a more fair and just society. According to its producers, “the film doesn’t bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.”
