okay with regards to uh RAF there's been
0:05
a caffy of saber rattling you know the
0:08
Israelis are threatening uh Egypt is
0:10
threatening the GCC is threatening Iran
0:12
Syria hasah
0:14
everyone uh everyone is raising the
0:16
rhetoric to Epic Proportions now that
0:19
typically means uh that not much will
0:21
actually happen when countries start
0:23
saying to each other you know if you do
0:25
this and that then we'll do such and
0:27
such it's kind of like engaging in a
0:29
battle rap instead of a fist fight but
0:31
it's obviously always still extremely
0:34
dangerous it's still a dangerous
0:35
situation particularly when one of the
0:38
battle rappers is an actual Psychopathic
0:40
lunatic like Netanyahu you know Israel
0:43
carpet bombed Northern Gaza Central Gaza
0:47
and they drove everybody to the South
0:48
and now they're threatening to bomb
0:51
rafah they're saying that everyone in
0:53
rafah should uh evacuate over a million
0:55
people should evacuate without having
0:57
anywhere to go obviously of course the
0:59
idea is and always has been uh to drive
1:02
them into SI to force Egypt to cooperate
1:05
with the Zionist expulsion of the
1:07
Palestinians and take them uh into Egypt
1:09
take them into Sinai basically uh
1:11
Netanyahu is actually providing evidence
1:13
for the prosecution in this uh icj case
1:16
against Israel for genocide you know
1:18
even Joe Biden had to say that this is
1:20
over the top and excessive the EU
1:22
criticized netanyahu's plan for an for
1:25
an assault on Rafa the UK the UN
1:28
everyone everyone thinks that Netanyahu
1:30
is out of control even Hillary Clinton
1:31
as if anyone asked her blinkin uh the
1:34
last time he visited Israel he uh was
1:37
meeting with opposition politicians and
1:40
he even met with some of netanyahu's
1:41
Staff behind his back which outraged him
1:44
so it looks to me like they're trying to
1:45
engineer uh some kind of a mutiny
1:48
because uh again in my opinion little by
1:50
little Western politicians I think are
1:52
starting to get the memo from the ocfc
1:55
that Israel needs a regime change and
1:57
that the smart money uh is on
1:59
deescalation and ultimately that Zionism
2:02
is not viable moving forward because as
2:05
I said many times Zionism and the
2:07
instrumentality of Israel uh only had a
2:10
function in the post World War II Global
2:13
Order and that order is being
2:14
scrapped now as I've said before the
2:16
transition is Bumpy and I don't think
2:19
that politicians necessarily understand
2:21
how they're supposed to proceed since
2:23
after all they have multiple pay masters
2:25
and after those pay masters they have
2:27
their constituents and those
2:28
constituents expect a certain C type of
2:30
rhetoric and certain types of actions
2:32
and certain types of behavior so
2:33
politicians are trying to please a lot
2:35
of different interests at the same time
2:37
that makes it a bit confusing in a
2:39
strange way that's even the case with
2:40
someone like Larry Fink the head of
2:41
black Ro or any of these other uh asset
2:45
management companies those are the
2:46
controllers of capital in the ocfc
2:49
there's a kind of a democratic element
2:52
uh even to how they use their power and
2:54
influence because they can't pursue or
2:57
promote policies that only benefit one
2:59
faction of their clientele or that
3:01
mostly only benefits one faction if that
3:04
policy is also detrimental to a greater
3:06
proportion of the clients in their
3:08
portfolio so you know a company like uh
3:10
Black Rock well it consists of like
3:13
basically every major multinational
3:14
corporation on the planet so their
3:17
interests span across every economic and
3:20
Industrial sector so they can't only
3:22
think about what's good for rathon for
3:24
example you know and this organization
3:27
of the ocfc into institutional
3:29
structures like Black Rock and like
3:30
Vanguard and so on this is a relatively
3:33
new phenomenon it's kind of like a union
3:35
of
3:36
billionaires and that's exactly what
3:37
they do they organize uh the competing
3:40
interests of capital in accordance with
3:43
what will benefit the most members uh of
3:47
that billionaires Union and currently I
3:49
believe uh that the consensus is that
3:52
deescalation is preferred to a
3:54
region-wide war or to even to Regional
3:55
instability because again uh the center
3:58
of gravity of the global economy
4:00
shifting to the South and to the east
4:02
Europe is over or anyway uh Atlantic
4:05
Europe is over and the centrality of the
4:07
United States as an imperial power as a
4:10
a colonizing power is being deliberately
4:12
diminished but these changes are
4:15
happening very rapidly the Paradigm
4:18
Shift has been abrupt and I think that
4:19
the recalibration that's necessary in
4:21
order for uh politicians and governments
4:24
to function the
4:26
recalibration uh can't quite keep Pace
4:29
uh with how fast the changes are taking
4:32
place but yes I think everyone knows uh
4:34
that Netanyahu is out of his mind nanyu
4:38
knows he's out of his
4:39
mind and that's because he's desperate
4:41
he's desperate uh for one thing because
4:44
everything that he built his political
4:46
career on his Persona his whole
4:48
existence doesn't work anymore it's like
4:51
trying to put a a floppy disc into a
4:53
usbport and on the other hand uh I think
4:56
he's looking at the real possibility of
4:58
prosecution
5:00
you know just like American politicians
5:03
and just like Larry think he has
5:04
multiple interests that he has uh that
5:07
he feels he has to serve and he has to
5:09
choose now which one will ultimately be
5:12
able to protect him and prolong his
5:13
existence in politics or so he thinks
5:15
and keep them out of prison and he's
5:17
choosing the fanatic Zionist hardliners
5:21
and he's doing that not because it's the
5:23
smart move but because people always
5:25
revert to their training and to their
5:27
habits uh when they panic
5:30
they act on reflex and the uh fanatic
5:33
zentist hardliners have always been his
5:34
go-to
5:35
supporters so I think it at least
5:38
partially it's a reflex because it's
5:39
clearly not the intelligent move he's
5:42
plating the
5:43
hardliners uh and he probably thinks
5:45
that he's also sketching out an exit
5:47
strategy for the war which is something
5:49
that uh has never been clear to anyone
5:52
uh since October 7th he said that he
5:55
will continue the war until they
5:56
eradicate Hamas and everyone knows that
5:58
you can't eradicate Hamas so instead of
6:01
that he's redefining the eradication of
6:03
Hamas as uh an assault on ra bombing ra
6:08
decimating ra which is something that
6:11
can actually be done so he's basically
6:13
saying uh once we decimate RAF then
6:16
we've won he's putting a tangible
6:18
achievable objective as the definition
6:21
of victory so that he can claim to have
6:23
succeeded now again I don't know if he
6:25
uh actually thinks that he can get away
6:26
with it or not you know because again he
6:29
is Psychopathic lunatic so he may
6:31
actually be serious but if there's any
6:33
trace of Sanity in his deranged head
6:36
then I would guess that he is announcing
6:38
the uh assault on RAF precisely to
6:42
elicit the response that he's gotten in
6:44
other words uh the Egyptians saying that
6:47
Camp David will be over the peace
6:48
agreement would be over uh the peace
6:50
agreement with Jordan would be over uh
6:53
the sis uh saying that anyone who's
6:56
supporting the genocide will bear the
6:58
consequences of supporting the genocide
7:00
not just those who are committing it but
7:02
those who are supporting it which means
7:04
obviously the United States and the
7:05
collective
7:06
West uh Syria and Lebanon and hisbah and
7:11
the hthis all saying that they'll attack
7:13
Israel and so on I think that's what he
7:15
wanted he wants to highlight the massive
7:18
chaos that is in his power to unleash on
7:21
the region so that then he can be
7:23
persuaded or rather bribed uh to back
7:26
down I suspect that he announced the ra
7:28
assault as a bargaining tactic but I'll
7:32
say it again you never know because
7:34
Netanyahu is demonic and Israel has made
7:37
it a policy for decades to do
7:39
Unthinkable violence specifically to
7:41
create a perception of unpredictability
7:44
you know their approach to security
7:46
policy and Foreign Relations is modeled
7:48
on Cypress Hill Insane in the memory
7:51
what you talking about sa don't you know
7:53
I'm local that's their approach to
7:55
diplomacy if you recall one of the
7:57
things that blinkin floated a few months
7:59
ago go uh was the idea of
8:02
Egypt uh taking responsibility for
8:04
security in Gaza basically occupying
8:06
Gaza on behalf of the Israelis CCE
8:09
flatly rejected this proposal but
8:12
Netanyahu might be trying to force this
8:14
into being because those are basically
8:17
uh the options I mean either Egypt will
8:22
accept fleeing Palestinians into SI and
8:25
thus become partners with Israel in the
8:27
ethnic cleansing of Gaza or
8:30
uh they move into Gaza themselves and
8:32
become an occupying security
8:34
presence I don't personally see Egypt
8:36
entering a war with Israel the entirety
8:38
of Brick's strategy has been to uh
8:41
contain the conflict as much as possible
8:44
to prevent the uh escalation of the
8:46
conflict as much as possible so I don't
8:48
believe personally that Egypt will enter
8:50
into combat against Israel but if they
8:53
do a fullscale assault on RAF that would
8:56
probably result in the cancellation of
8:58
all diplomatic and political
8:59
relationship uh between uh Israel and
9:03
Egypt I think they would suspend that
9:05
you know I have talked before about the
9:08
likelihood uh that in fact all existing
9:11
peace agreements with Israel may be
9:14
suspended that there's a desire for them
9:16
to be suspended precisely so that they
9:18
can be renegotiated on better terms
9:22
negotiated through a process that does
9:24
not include uh or anyway that Sidelines
9:27
the United States so no agreements could
9:29
be uh negotiated to the disadvantage of
9:32
Israel peace agreements uh and so-called
9:34
normalization which will be dictated to
9:37
Israel uh by Bricks by the Muslim
9:40
nations and by the global South so if
9:42
they do indeed uh proceed with an
9:45
assault and an occupation of RA I think
9:47
that might actually
9:48
happen but again this is it's an insane
9:51
idea and everyone is telling them so I
9:54
mean you have an open case of genocide
9:55
against you with the icj and now you
9:57
want to uh accelerate the genocide
10:00
literally bomb the last section of Gaza
10:03
to which your bombing campaign since
10:06
October 7th has driven people to seek
10:08
refuge and you're going to do that in
10:10
front of everyone in front of the world
10:12
and against the will of every country on
10:15
Earth even even your sponsor it's
10:18
maniacal reportedly uh I saw that
10:20
there's supposed to be a meeting on
10:22
Tuesday tomorrow uh between Qatar Egypt
10:25
the Israelis and the CIA to try to seek
10:28
way to avert this threatened attack and
10:32
I guess we'll just have to wait and see
10:33
how those talks go but I think that the
10:35
threats that have been made mostly are a
10:38
tactic for influencing the tone and the
10:41
objectives of these talks and of the
10:44
political dialogue overall it's hard for
10:46
me to believe really that they're
10:47
serious about proceeding at this point I
10:49
honestly think that Netanyahu must be
10:51
looking uh just for a deal that will
10:53
give him immunity from prosecution
10:56
because at some level he must recognize
10:58
that his political career is over I mean
11:00
the only friends he has left the Zionist
11:02
hardliners the only friends he has left
11:05
uh are the type of friends whose uh
11:07
friendship is contingent upon Him
11:09
fulfilling basically a suicide pack
11:13
because here's the
11:14
thing uh the OC GFC don't bargain
11:17
certainly not with politicians not with
11:19
States they don't have to right now I
11:21
think people in Washington are trying to
11:23
save their own careers so they're trying
11:25
to figure out how to get rid of
11:27
Netanyahu and netan Yahoo is trying to
11:29
save his own career so he's trying to
11:31
figure out a way uh how to not be gotten
11:33
rid of but at the end of the day for
11:36
both uh people in Washington and people
11:39
in Israel politicians and officials and
11:42
so on they're just trying to figure out
11:44
how to satisfy the ocfc without
11:46
dissatisfying whatever other interests
11:48
they are accountable to but the ocfc
11:51
don't ask they don't bargain they talk
11:54
in ultimatums pay masters don't have to
11:56
negotiate with the people whom they pay
11:59
the only people that the OC uh that the
12:01
ocfc have to negotiate with are the
12:03
public the consumers the market because
12:06
whether you know it or not uh you are
12:09
their pay masters they don't want you to
12:11
know it but it's true and that's why
12:13
your activism your protest and your
12:15
demonstrations and your boycotts and so
12:17
on are absolutely crucial prop
12:20
Palestinian anti-zionist Market Behavior
12:23
will determine the outcome of this
12:25
conflict pure and simple this is the
12:28
deter in Factor you know I just saw that
12:31
uh sales for un L have plummeted in
12:34
Indonesia because of anti-israel boycots
12:37
and anti-israel Market sentiment okay
12:39
Unilever is one of the biggest companies
12:41
in the world and they're very focused uh
12:44
on expanding their presence precisely in
12:46
parts of the world that are pro
12:48
Palestine so yes the ocfc can see uh
12:53
that Zionism is a liability Israel is
12:55
turning the whole Global South against
12:57
the west and against Western business
12:59
which is going to make the transition to
13:01
the global South the pivot to Asia and
13:02
to the global South uh is going to make
13:05
that go very badly for the owners and
13:07
controllers of global financialized
13:08
Capital if they don't resolve this
13:10
problem I mean you know the only reason
13:12
that Israel was ever supported was
13:14
because it was good for business but
13:16
that's not the case anymore it's not the
13:18
case anymore because the people made it
13:21
that way the people are taking their
13:23
place at the table and they're moving
13:26
the biggest and most powerful
13:27
institutions in the world in the
13:29
direction that they want them to go
13:31
anything and everything that you do uh
13:33
to influence the sentiments of the
13:35
market anything and everything that you
13:37
do uh to send a message to business to
13:40
let them know uh that their
13:43
profitability uh rests on whether or not
13:46
they respond positively to your stance
13:49
on Palestine will ultimately decide how
13:52
this conflict goes and if anyone tells
13:54
you otherwise well they just don't
13:55
understand how power dynamics work in
13:56
the 21st century if in Justice and
13:59
immorality are also
14:01
unprofitable then you'll start to see
14:03
things change you'll start to see things
14:05
becoming more just and more uh moral the
14:08
dollars and pounds and the euros and the
14:10
Rings and The rupia that you spend in
14:12
the market those are all ballots and the
14:14
cash registers are ballot boxes and you
14:17
better believe that those who are in
14:18
power are reading the receipts and
14:21
they're starting to understand uh that
14:23
our transactions are only going to be
14:26
transacted upon the principle of no no
14:28
justice no profit don't think that
14:31
that's just a slogan no it's a it's an
14:33
oath it's a vow and if you keep to this
14:36
oath if you keep to this vow and if
14:38
you're truly interested in and committed
14:40
to Justice then the private sector will
14:42
see to it that you get it not because
14:45
they care about justice but because they
14:46
care about profit and uh you will have
14:49
let them know uh that that's the only
14:52
way that they can make a profit and as I
14:54
said this is uh not only about your
14:57
buying habits but it's about overall
15:00
Market sentiment so the more you do uh
15:03
to establish uh that a pro Palestine uh
15:06
prop Palestinian stance is popular and
15:08
prevalent then business will respond and
15:10
politicians in Washington and in Tel
15:12
Aviv will get their directions from that
15:15
your voices in the street echo in the
15:18
boardroom and whatever you chant in a
15:20
protest or a demonstration well that
15:22
gets translated into a memo from Wall
15:24
Street to Washington they moved power uh
15:27
from the public sector to the private
15:28
sector because they wanted uh to uh
15:31
insulate themselves from the Democratic
15:34
mechanisms that could have potentially
15:36
interfered with their plans but Allah
15:38
tala is the best of planners and it just
15:41
made their uh Power more vulnerable and
15:43
more susceptible to popular influence so
15:46
if you make no justice no profit Prevail
15:49
in the market uh then it's just a matter
15:51
of time before Zionism goes the way of
15:53
Blockbuster
