No doubt folk have their favourite go-to commentaries on topic, depending of course on their viewpoint. I have been watching various ones for the past few days. If one does not watch lamestream commentaries (as I do not, aside from occasionally checking out what they are saying – what they want you to hear ie) there is a wealth of commentary from the many war experts.
The video below from The Duran features Prof Jeffrey Sachs who makes lengthy comment. To quote him, he says this is all: “Imperialism … of the most vulgar and dangerous kind”. I gather from others also, Chinese Professor Jiang Xeuqin in particular, that the current sequence of events are typical of failing empires. Particularly the attacks. And here we’ve had firstly Venezuela, then Iran, with threats to have a go at other nations … Greenland, Mexico Cuba and so on.
Then there is the petrodollar issue. That this is majorly about that. Control. So many threads to follow. Certainly it’s also been a major diversion from the Epstein files. John Leake wrote on substack, “The recent, more extensive release of the Epstein Files was the closest the ruling class has come to being exposed in centuries. The war in Iran changed the subject…“
Further:
“The means of defence against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. —James Madison
Divide et Impera — divide and rule. It’s literally the oldest trick in the political playbook. When the mass of ordinary, naive, hardworking people start to wake up to the reality that they have been manipulated, exploited, and played by an arrogant ruling class that regards them with contempt, the ruling class starts a war abroad against an evil and menacing foreigner. This completely changes the subject and focuses all attention on the evil foreigner, thereby eliminating the revolt at home.”
Michael Yon is another interesting watch/listen. He is ex US military with interesting info and insights on the global government perspective. As also have been the ongoing commentaries of Col Douglas McGregor (retired from US military). Interviewed here on Redacted (another insightful channel).
It’s worth remembering also the so-called elites’ observations about those whom they send to fight their battles.
And not to forget Major General Smedley Butler’s observations that war is a racket. Should you be considering service in the forces, remember the doco … Anybody’s Son Will Do. In the ‘elites’ eyes you are useless eaters and therefore mere cannon fodder. Witness how veterans are treated also when they return from war!
On a final note, this all reminds me of an end time vision I read about years ago by an American man, AA Allen, in 1954. You can download and read it here. One would certainly hope this does not happen, however in the light of current events it’s not looking too far from the realm of possibility.
Here is a link to the video featuring Prof Sachs.
