Wherever there is conflict, bankers will be behind it. All wars are bankers’ wars. This historical summary about how the Middle East was carved up along lines conductive to bankers’ interests is accurate. The decisions made by those men have set the stage for erruptions of ethnic violence over a century of conflict. The current highly destructive war is a direct consequence.
It won’t be a short war. Iran has been preparing for decades, and is far more powerful than western leaders would have you believe. It is also far less repressive than propaganda suggests. Iran is not stuck in 1979. Today it’s a modern theocratic state. It does not slaughter protestors. The recent protests began after the US deliberately crashed the value of their currency, and then foolishly bragged about it. Those peaceful protests were then infiltrated by Mossad/CIA/MI6, with instructions to initiate extreme violence and destroy infrastructure. Those violent protests were suppressed by the government, aided by their ability to jam Starlink and trace those using the network to coordinate attacks. The government did NOT kill 30,000 protestors.
This war is also being fought for the interests of the wealthy, and the maintenance of a failing empire. The empire is overconfident, and despite overwhelming force is not going to be able to win this assymmetric war. The force they can bring to bear is antiquated, and cannot counter the weaponry of modern warfare – namely the drones and missiles which Iran has in abundance. American forces cannot defend themselves or their erstwhile allies in the Gulf. Air defence, which was never very effective, has now been depleted. Iran will now launch its more sophisticated weaponry.
in the meantime, the rest of the world is about to suffer a major energy crisis, and also critical shortages of other goods, most notably fertiliser. Even if the war ended tomorrow, it would take at least months to retore the flow of resources. A global economic depression is inevitable. The fact that the global financial ponzi system was already at the end of a major debt cycle, and economic pain is guaranteed, along with real physical shortages.
Here’s another valuable historical perspective, presented by a Rabbi from Montreal. He’s discussing the difference between Judaism and zionism, and the historical development of zionism. Judaism is a religion, while zionism is an ideology with roots in Judaism, Christianity, and secular socialism. Zionism isessentially an Eastern European import to the levant, with little or no connection to the region. Many religious Jews vehemently oppose the state of Israel, because they do not see themselves in an ideology or as an ethnicity. They regard zionism as heresy. This is the kind of distinction that people absolutely need to understand in order to make sense of the current situation. Anti-Semitism is wrong, but anti-zionism is not. Some of the loudest voices opposing it are Jewish themselves.
There are far more Christian zionists in the US, than there are Jews in the whole world. There are also many secular or atheistic zionists. Opposing zionism, which is an expansionist ideology laying claim to territory currently occupied by many tens of millions of Arabs, is z perfectly reasonable position to take. It is not anti-Semitic. Greater Israel is intended to occupy all of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The level of violence required would be insane.
