Summary
Shahid Bolsen unveils a perspective on the trajectory of global power, detailing how America, once at the helm of economic and political influence, is being strategically relegated by global elites. According to the analysis, the decline of American dominance is not haphazard but rather part of a deliberate strategy by elites aiming for a shift towards more dynamic and youthful markets, primarily in the Global South. Bolsen argues that underlying systemic issues coupled with geopolitical strategizing, especially amidst the backdrop of COVID-19 and geopolitical tensions, are paving the way for this transition. The video raises questions about the future economic landscape and challenges traditional notions of American superiority.

Overview
In a detailed discourse, Shahid Bolsen expounds on an alleged strategic decline of American global dominance orchestrated by economic elites. He argues this isnβt an accidental downfall but a carefully crafted agenda to transfer power to emerging markets, with a significant focus on the Global South. π
Bolsen highlights various factors contributing to this trend, including demographic changes and economic disparities between the US and developing nations. The rise of technological and economic infrastructures in countries like India and China marks a pivotal shift in global power. π
Furthermore, Bolsen points out the use of crises, such as COVID-19, as tools of change, implementing new order and governance models. These changes, he asserts, are methodically reshaping global dynamics, laying the foundations for a multipolar world order that diminishes American influence. π
Chapters
00:00 - 00:30: Introduction to American Isolation The chapter titled 'Introduction to American Isolation' discusses the ongoing and irreversible trend towards American isolation. It emphasizes that despite attempts to mitigate the situation by altering tariffs, the damage to global market confidence and trust has already occurred. The text explores the notion that this movement towards isolation is not merely a temporary phase but a set direction without any possibility for reversal, detouring, or turning, indicating a profound shift in American policy and its global interactions.
00:30 - 01:00: The Abstract Cabal The chapter explores the concept of viewing the highest echelons of economic, political, and financial power as an 'abstract cabal.' While acknowledging that this is not an accurate depiction, the idea serves as a helpful model for understanding their operations. The text alludes to entities such as think tanks and organizations like the World Economic Forum as influences within this hierarchy, suggesting they function similarly to a tightly-knit group with confidential plans accessible only to the elite.
01:00 - 01:30: Role of Think Tanks in Policy Development This chapter discusses the role of think tanks in policy development, emphasizing their function as communicators rather than creators of new ideas. Think tanks act like public relations firms for the political class, translating intentions and strategies from organizations like the OCGFC into formal policy proposals. The chapter suggests that these think tanks are not independently formulating strategies but rather articulating pre-existing intentions as shaped by evaluations of the political and global landscape.
01:30 - 02:00: Evaluating America's Status in 2015 In this chapter titled 'Evaluating America's Status in 2015', the discussion revolves around strategic evaluations made by power groups regarding America's status in that year. The chapter delves into how these groups analyze macro trends, political forecasts, demographic data, and capital returns while considering the long-term viability of maintaining control and dominance globally. It emphasizes their aim to foster continuous growth without sparking systemic collapse. The narrative portrays America as a crucial power hub whose continuity of power is central to these evaluations.
02:00 - 02:30: Demographic and Social Challenges in America This chapter discusses the demographic and social challenges facing America, emphasizing how the situation has changed significantly since the early days. It highlights the perspective of major global financial stakeholders in 2015, who would have observed clear trends and foreseen challenges. These stakeholders aimed for continued profit extraction, geopolitical control, and long-term strategies in the face of changing social and demographic landscapes.
02:30 - 03:00: Shifts in Global Economic Power The chapter discusses shifts in global economic power, focusing on systemic stability and America's declining appeal as a good investment. Key points include demographic decline in the US, characterized by decreasing birth rates. The total fertility rate in the US has dropped from 1.8% in 2015 to 1.62% by 2023, below the replacement level of 2.1. This trend suggests future challenges such as a shrinking labor force and an increased aging population.
03:00 - 03:30: America's Educational and Military Challenges This chapter discusses the shifting demographics and population challenges facing America compared to other countries like India and Nigeria. It addresses the higher dependency ratios in America, leading to increased strain on social services and decreased domestic consumption. The text hints at a shifting global center of gravity as Nigeria's population is projected to double by 2050, and India surpassed China as the most populous country in 2023. Additionally, the chapter touches on social issues in the U.S., referencing the events in Ferguson in 2014 and Baltimore in 2015, and the subsequent rise of movements such as Black Lives Matter.
03:30 - 04:00: Structural Economic Changes Post-2015 The chapter discusses the structural economic changes that occurred post-2015, with a focus on the American socio-political landscape. It highlights how civil unrest, particularly around issues of racism and police violence, was perceived as detrimental to business interests. The era is marked by significant events such as the election of Donald Trump in 2016, which polarized the nation. Trust in institutions such as media and government declined sharply, a trend evidenced by the 2021 trust barometer. The storming of the Capitol, labeled by some as an insurrection, epitomizes the political dysfunction, gridlock, and polarization. These factors contribute to an unstable environment for economic activity.
04:00 - 05:00: Shifts in Global Trade and The Rise of BRICS The chapter discusses the shifts in global trade dynamics, focusing on the 2010s and their impact on the US and the rise of BRICS. It highlights the US's struggles with passing basic legislation and maintaining infrastructure, which was rated C minus in 2021 by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Meanwhile, China's Belt and Road initiative was making significant impacts in Eurasia and Africa. The chapter also touches upon the de-industrialization and loss of 5 million manufacturing jobs in the US between 2000 and 2015, and how businesses prioritized offshoring production for profit.
05:00 - 06:00: Tech Boom in Global South and Dollar's Decline The chapter discusses the reasons behind the decline of America as a global manufacturing hub and a reliable research and development center, pointing out the financial, political, and social challenges faced by the nation in 2015. It further critiques the monopolies in Silicon Valley and how companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft were consolidating innovation instead of expanding it. With user growth plateauing, it argues that the future growth in internet users is from places like Lagos, Jakarta, and New Delhi, rather than traditional tech centers like San Francisco.
06:00 - 07:00: The Global South As The New Growth Engine The chapter delves into the decline of the United States' educational system, highlighting significant statistics from a 2015 Pew study that ranked the US 38th out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science. It notes the explosion of student debt, reaching $1.66 trillion by the 2020s. It contrasts the number of STEM graduates in the US with those in China and India, emphasizing that by 2022, China was producing over 1.4 million STEM graduates annually, while the US produced less than 800,000. Additionally, the chapter briefly mentions the 2015 US military budget of $600 billion.
07:00 - 08:00: Impact of COVID-19 on Global Control The chapter titled 'Impact of COVID-19 on Global Control' discusses the limitations of American military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, which were costly and did not yield significant economic returns. These wars highlighted the importance of strategic financial returns and exit strategies. By 2015, there was a noticeable shift towards a multipolar world, with countries like Russia, China, and India asserting more independence. Additionally, trade among southern countries rose to account for 25% of global trade by 2015.
08:00 - 09:00: Cultural and Political Changes in America This chapter discusses the geopolitical and economic shifts affecting the United States' position as a global leader. It highlights the significance of the BRICS bloc, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and how its foundations for economic integration were laid before 2015. The chapter emphasizes the transformative impact of post-2022 geopolitical events, such as the Ukraine war and sanctions against Russia, which accelerated the shift away from a US-centered global economy. The growing movement towards de-dollarization and the adoption of local currencies for trade is highlighted, as well as what it signifies when traditionally US-aligned countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE joined this expanding economic coalition in 2024. These changes are not just symbolic but represent a fundamental realignment in global economic and political alliances.
09:00 - 10:00: Strategic Considerations in the Middle East The chapter discusses strategic considerations in the Middle East, focusing on the global digital infrastructure changes happening since 2015. As Facebook and Google began losing market share, Africa's fintech sector experienced significant growth, with Kenya becoming a cashless society. Major tech companies like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft started investing in data centers across Africa, including Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. The significance of these developments is highlighted by Microsoft's pledge of over a billion dollars in 2023 to build AI infrastructure in Kenya and East Africa, indicating serious long-term investment plans rather than mere experiments.
10:00 - 11:00: Cultural Revolution: A Proposed Solution for America The chapter titled 'Cultural Revolution: A Proposed Solution for America' discusses the conclusions drawn by a national organization named OCGFC in 2015. The organization noted that America was perceived as unstable, old, expensive, divided, and in decline. In contrast, the global south was described as young, cost-effective, rapidly growing, underdeveloped, and full of opportunities. This contrast led to the concept of a 'great decoupling' where asset prices such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and real estate in America were inflated due to ultra-low interest rates, causing a speculative boom. This boom resulted in investments being channeled abroad.
The Decline Was the Plan: How the Global Elite Are Replacing America | Shahid Bolsen Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 it doesn't matter it doesn't matter lift the tariffs pause the tariffs it doesn't matter the damage is done confidence in the global markets and trust has been demolished at this point and that was the point i mean the point is American isolation that's what's happening and that's what will happen you know I keep explaining that this is the direction and it's a direction that has no U-turn it has no detour it has no turns at all it's an irreversible direction you know look I understand why people simplify things you know by thinking that the OCGFC is like some organized cabal it's not but I completely understand why it
00:30 - 01:00 makes it easier to think of them that way i mean it might be helpful for understanding in some ways even though it's not an accurate way of looking at how the uh the highest tiers of the economic political and financial hierarchy work it's not really a cabal but like if you think of it as a cabal you can imagine an OCGFC white paper or a memo about what their plans are you know confidential for super rich eyes only or something like that i mean you have think tanks you have organizations like the World Economic Forum and so on
01:00 - 01:30 uh more or less that that's what they do they're not generally coming up with ideas and strategies or anything like that they just articulate or translate into the language of policy proposals what the uh OCGFC already intend to do think tanks are basically PR firms for the political class like I was saying the other day uh if you were someone from the OCGFC the A national OCGFC and you made an evaluation of America and the global landscape say 10 years ago in 2015 well we can imagine what that would look like and what responses you would
01:30 - 02:00 probably recommend if you were from that group it's not that hard really you know you'd be sitting in a boardroom looking at macro trends political forecasts demographic data capital returns and of course the viability of maintaining control of sustaining dominance uh without destabilizing your own structures you know you'd want to extract you want to continue growing but not at the expense of triggering systemic collapse that you can't contain so you'd analyze America you know the heart of your power for decades and
02:00 - 02:30 you'd start preparing plans because the situation the real situation has changed significantly from the from the early days so if you're someone from the A national OCGFC the owners and controllers of global financialized capital uh and you made an evaluation of America and the global landscape from around 2015 you'd have some very stark conclusions the trends were all there the writing was on the wall and if your goal is uninterrupted profit extraction geopolitical control and long-term
02:30 - 03:00 systemic stability for capital well America just didn't look like a a good bet anymore we can go point by point you have demographic decline you know you'd see declining birth rates in the US total fertility rate was already below replacement level by 2015 sitting at around 1.8% and dropping by 2023 2 years ago it hit 1.62% according to the CDC that's below replacement level of 2.1 well that means in the future shrinking labor force increased aging population
03:00 - 03:30 higher dependency ratios and so on more strain on social services less domestic consumption over time on and on compare that to India or to Nigeria or to the broader subsaharan region nigeria's population is expected to double by 2050 india already overtook China as the most populous country in 2023 the center of gravity is shifting then you have other issues like the the OCGFC would have looked at Ferguson in 2014 Baltimore in 2015 seen the rise of Black Lives Matter
03:30 - 04:00 not because they care about racism or police violence not at all but because civil unrest is bad for business then of course Trump happened 2016 half the country was radicalized the other half was traumatized social cohesion was fraying trust in institutions was plummeting in 2021 uh the trust barometer showed the trust in the media and the government had collapsed the capital was stormed right so-called in insurrection this is not a good environment for capital you have political dysfunction you have gridlock you have polarization institutional
04:00 - 04:30 paralysis the 2010s showed that the US couldn't even pass basic legislation infrastructure fell into disrepair according to the American Society of Civil Engineers the US had a C minus rating in infrastructure in 2021 meanwhile China's Belt and Road initiative was transforming Eurasia and transforming Africa de-industrialization between 2000 and 2015 uh the US lost 5 million manufacturing jobs whole towns were hollowed out the OCGFC had already offshored production for profit and by
04:30 - 05:00 2015 America was becoming too expensive too politically unstable too socially chaotic to uh uh remain as a global manufacturing hub or even as a reliable uh research and development center in the long run Silicon Valley had become dominated by monopolies google Apple Facebook Amazon Microsoft innovation was consolidating into platform control not expansion growth in users had plateaued the next billion internet users weren't in San Francisco they were in Lagos in Jakarta in New Delhi and then of course
05:00 - 05:30 you have America's educational decline a 2015 Pew study ranked the US 38th out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science student debt exploded to 1.6 6 trillion by the 2020s STEM graduates were fewer compared to China and India by 2022 China was producing over 1.4 million STEM graduates annually the US was less less than 800,000 not to mention you have the US military budget that in 2015 was 600
05:30 - 06:00 billion and yet it couldn't even decisively win in Afghanistan or in Iraq these wars were not producing capital returns they were bleeding the treasury those Egypty doesn't fund lossmaking ventures unless there's a a strategic payoff and even then they want an exit strategy and already by 2015 you you saw a rise in multipolarity russia was asserting itself china was asserting itself and rising india was asserting autonomy south South trade already grew to 25% of global trade by 2015 and
06:00 - 06:30 continued rising the US was no longer the center of the world even 10 years ago the bricks block Brazil Russia India China South Africa uh in 2015 wasn't yet economically integrated but the foundations were there and post 2022 after the Ukraine war and the sanctions against Russia it really kicked into gear countries began trading in local currencies dd dollararization began even Saudi Arabia and the UAE join bricks plus in 2024 these aren't just symbols these are uh uh this represents a
06:30 - 07:00 structural realignment and in 2015 global digital infrastructure outside the US uh Facebook and Google started losing market share in key markets africa's fintech sector exploded uh Kenya became a cashless society amazon Web Services and Microsoft uh began building data centers in Nigeria and in Kenya and in South Africa in 2023 Microsoft pledged over a billion dollars to build AI infrastructure in Kenya and in East Africa understand these are not experiments on their part these are
07:00 - 07:30 exits so what would the OCGFC the A national OC uh OCGFC conclude in 2015 america is unstable it's old it's expensive it's divided and it's in decline while the global south is young cheap fast growing underdeveloped and full of opportunity so let's just start the great decoupling and so they did first they inflated asset prices stocks crypto real estate causing a massive speculative boom through ultra low interest rates and then that money was used to invest abroad and then when CO
07:30 - 08:00 19 came it just accelerated it lockdowns crushed small businesses and Amazon Walmart and big tech consolidated the economy remote work normalized the outsourcing of white collar labor venture capital flooded into India and Africa between 2021 and 2023 uh venture capital investments in India crossed $30 billion microsoft announced a $2.1 billion data center expansion in Japan in 2024 Google built its first cloud region in Africa in 2022 then came
08:00 - 08:30 Ukraine the US weaponized the dollar froze Russian reserves cut them from Swift you know that told the world "Your money isn't safe if you defy us." And the response well countries started trading in yuan in rupees and dirhams bricks formed a common payment system by 2024 bricks plus included Saudi Arabia Iran and the UAE global South nations began financing their own trade the dollar's dominance dropped from 73% of global reserves in 2001 to under 58% in
08:30 - 09:00 2023 and it's falling so yeah if you were from the OCGFC back in 2015 this is all predictable america is being phased out not because they hate America but because America is obsolete it's no longer has a utilitarian purpose and the worst part most Americans still think that they're the center of the world but in the boardrooms of the the real rulers the future is being built elsewhere and it's not red white and blue any economist or any planner uh would have been sitting in a strategy room with analysts looking again at economic
09:00 - 09:30 data at uh demographic projections and so on you look at the United States and say well this platform is reaching the end of its utility the cost of maintaining hegemony through this particular nation state uh starting to outweigh the benefits it's aging it's divided it's expensive to manage it's politically uh becoming unstable so if you're part of the OCGFC what do you do you don't uh outright destroy the US but you phase it out you extract what's left you wind it down that's not a conspiracy
09:30 - 10:00 theory that's economic logic the US had served as the central hub of capital expansion for decades but by 2015 it had already passed its peak utility the OCGFC began transitioning towards new centers of gravity young populations deregulated markets uh resourcerich regions primarily in the global south so you gradually want to move R&D and manufacturing out of the US and that's what we've seen not only lowskilled labor but also high-end production
10:00 - 10:30 innovation hubs investments have been relocating i don't know if you know tech R&D pharmaceuticals chip production even advanced robotics gradually shifting out to Asia to India to various pockets in Africa where you can build without oversight at the same time you've got to keep the US population passive while you're doing this that's where you that that's where you need fragmentation cultural division political polarization racial antagonism you pump identity politics to the front of the national conversation so people fight each other
10:30 - 11:00 instead of uh paying attention to whose asset stripping the country and then you get a gift they got a gift a perfect gift like I said COVID 19 i'm not saying that the OCGFC created the virus i'm saying that they did though instantly recognize how to use it they weaponized the pandemic it was never about health for them it was about behavior it was about the opportunity to impose sweeping restrictions on movement restrictions on commerce on speech on assembly all under the cover of public health safety and
11:00 - 11:30 think about what happened you had people locked in their homes willingly voluntarily basically not under threat of terrorism not under martial law but under a health directive you had curfews mask mandates business closures on and on and on you had people telling on each other snitching on each other attacking each other for not complying well that's gold for the OCGFC that's textbook behavioral conditioning you had that society where every moment was being spent online working remotely consuming media buying products shopping online
11:30 - 12:00 you were feeding the whole uh system that they're transitioning into small businesses died the gig economy took over amazon basically became a state data collection hit unprecedented levels actual human interaction shrank and and the dependence on your devices skyrocketed co was the bridge it was a dry run for a new governance model now meanwhile you push the financialization of everything housing becomes an investment vehicle not a human right not
12:00 - 12:30 actually about shelter education is dead health is a subscription service the more insecure people become the more predictable they become and that's what you want if you're from the OCGFC and while all this is happening in the US you're building your new base in the global south you fund startups in Nairobi data centers in Ghana AI labs in India you build supply chains in Vietnam establish fintech ecosystems in Latin America and Africa because that's where your your next few decades of growth are going to come
12:30 - 13:00 from at the same time you're preparing the decline of the dollar because that's inevitable so you support digital currencies your own private systems you know you pressure governments to lay the groundwork for uh central bank digital currencies CBDC's why because that gives you total visibility and total control every transaction traceable every participant programmable and the US just becomes a managed decline a controlled demolition like I said it's useful in some parts but dangerous in others but main thing it's no longer central so
13:00 - 13:30 when people say that the pandemic changed the world they're right but more specifically uh it changed how the world would be controlled how it would be managed and the thing is the public complied that's what made it so successful they complied not through fear of authority but from a a sense of moral duty you know that was the brilliance of it you don't need tanks in the streets you just needed hashtags you just needed social pressure that was the real innovation of what they did in during co so if we're imagining what the OCGFC would have said
13:30 - 14:00 back in 2015 that's it that's the trajectory that they would have laid out and that's exactly what we've been living through it's exactly what's been happening like I said the world that we see today didn't just happen by accident if you were from the OCGFC 10 years ago analyzing the US and the global landscape uh you would have been making these long-term strategies you can even walk through the timeline like I said to see what I'm talking about from decoupling capital to geopolitical shifts with Russia and Ukraine China and so on it
14:00 - 14:30 all fits perfectly into the grand strategy we're seeing the execution of a plan a plan that's not just playing out as we speak but a plan that has probably been in the works for more than a decade stage one you can say accelerating the economic shifts reorientation of global power from 2015 2016 and so the writing was on the wall in 2015 US the economic structure was deeply flawed especially after the 2008 crisis the recovery was weak the wealth gap was growing wider
14:30 - 15:00 uh and at the same time you had fi fast rising markets in India and Southeast Asia and Africa they were outpacing the US and outpacing Europe in terms of growth economy was still recovering from the uh 2008 financial collapse and the growth was largely funded by financial speculation not by uh robust manufacturing sectors not in America not in Europe meanwhile China's economy continued to expand very rapidly India's demographic advantage became a clear boon consumer-wise and the global south
15:00 - 15:30 was rising so by 2016 those GFC started to put its capital uh outside the US moving investments into rising markets the world was not going to be dominated by the west anymore they knew this and they started decoupling from American financial systems they started laying the groundwork for uh uh a new more diverse global order multipolarity so-called you can say stage two was a decoupling from the US and and and
15:30 - 16:00 integration in the global south the US China trade war was at full throttle the US was increasingly becoming a protectionist power under Trump and that wasn't helping their own economy because it wasn't supposed to help their own economy on the other hand the global south was increasingly seeing its own potential not just as consumers but as producers by this time we see a massive increase in foreign investments into countries like Vietnam and India and Indonesia countries that once relied on Western trade and finance were starting to form their own alliances and their
16:00 - 16:30 own economic systems so the OCGFC uh continued its push to shift resources away from the west you know Apple began relocating production out of China into countries like Vietnam uh India Indonesia to avoid tariffs under Trump to capitalize on cheap labor this is diversifying trade across the global south you understand this is increasing south south trade the BRICS countries India China Russia you know South Africa Brazil they formed a more cohesive trade
16:30 - 17:00 block south South tra south south trade began to flourish the US and Europe were no longer exclusively the economic centers of gravity already as much as the neocons tried to hold on to power the OCGFC started pouring capital into these economies that were growing that had larger populations that were rapidly modernizing their infrastructures like I said India China and in Africa it wasn't just about trade this was about creating new centers of power you understand it's moving out of the west then of course in
17:00 - 17:30 2022 you had the Ukraine war and I know we're all familiar with the geopolitical chaos that that uh situation caused but from a long-term strategic perspective this was an incredible opportunity for the OCGFC the sanctions on Russia uh that that uh followed the war were supposedly to crush Russia's economy and force it to comply with Western demands does that sound familiar but in reality that accelerated the shift away from Western dominated financial systems you know the west said that they wanted to
17:30 - 18:00 isolate Russia but the sanctions just boosted bricks russia pivoted quickly to China and quickly to India they also deepened their ties with South Africa and with Brazil with all other key members of BRICS they began to align more closely with the global south pushing for a more multi-olar world order brics countries especially China and Russia and India continue to push south south trade bypassing Western sanctions and strengthening ties with African countries with Latin American countries
18:00 - 18:30 and obviously with the outer world with the Gulf with the Khalich the sanctions on Russia led to the creation of an alternative payment system which gradually reduced their reliance on Swift so the US dominated international payment system is being sidelined in fact what happened is that Europe tied to US policies found themselves alienated from the emerging markets like bricks countries like India South Africa even Saudi Arabia started to rethink their relationships with the West they began to see Russia and China uh as partners in a new multipolar world and
18:30 - 19:00 that's how it's been working out again China India Russia uh led Bricks expansion in 2023 drawing in countries like Egypt and Iran UAE all of whom are actively trying to divorce themselves from Western influence so by 2023 the US had alienated Europe uh from their own economic national interest pushing them away from Russia leaving the EU vulnerable and look and leaving Russia looking elsewhere so the sanctions had the opposite effect of what they said they wanted to do it it
19:00 - 19:30 it helped Russia to integrate further into the global south and to actually expand and diversify their own economy and then 2022 2023 dd dollarization by 2023 uh 2 years ago the BRICS countries were increasingly moving away uh from the US dollar in their trade agreements they were pushing for local currency trade to bypass the dollar to bypass the dollar's dominance dealization uh became a trend no one even talked about that before everyone was seeking to limit their reliance on western
19:30 - 20:00 financial institutions and systems by 2023 China became the largest trade partner for many countries in Africa for many countries in Southeast Asia and in Latin America china continued to expand the belt and road initiative with countries like Pakistan Egypt uh Kenya all joining in greater and greater numbers and then you can say stage uh what do we be four or five I don't remember uh it's just continuing the process is continuing between 2023 and 2025 the global south was no longer just
20:00 - 20:30 a location for cheap labor it had become an actual engine on its own right uh for economic growth the OCGFC knew that the future was going to be led by the South by the very markets that the US had been pillaging for so long so they've been creating a new world a new world order without the West and without America at its center tech investments in India have surged in Africa they surged in Southeast Asia they surged you know cloud infrastructure AI companies companies like Microsoft and Amazon and
20:30 - 21:00 so on investing billions and billions of dollars in cloud infrastructure in India and in Africa the geopolitical shifts led to a rise in new tech ecosystems china and Russia were pushing to decouple from US-led technology companies establishing their own tech infrastructure their own 5G networks with Huawei and ZTE beating the wave so what's clear is that the events we've seen unfolding the sanctions against Russia the Ukraine war the rise of
21:00 - 21:30 bricks all of this has accelerated the OCGFC's plans for global realignment we're in a period of decoupling not of just economies but of political systems and of financial infrastructure and technological ecosystems and this is exactly what they would have been planning all the way back in 2015 or even earlier and that's what's happening now so there's no chaos here there's only coordination as things develop there'll be adaptations you know they'll have to tweak the strategies here and there uh as conditions change not everybody agrees on
21:30 - 22:00 everything like I said because it's not actually a cabal it's not a conspiracy of some shadowy group of elites you know some secret society it's just economic interests and power interests and sometimes these uh uh form coalitions and sometimes they're in competition like you can look at the situation in Gaza because there's a there's a deeper game going on in Gaza there's a strategic divergence there's a negotiation happening behind the smoke and the blood and the rubble on the one hand you've got the A OCGFC the transnational elite uh these
22:00 - 22:30 people are not concerned with nations they're not concerned with identities or religions or ethnics they don't hate the Palestinians and they don't love the Israelis they don't care they want one thing order not moral order not just order but uh a smooth controllable economic operating environment that kind of order so when they look at Gaza the A OCG they don't care how stability is achieved genocide it's fine ethnic cleansing fine a two-state solution a
22:30 - 23:00 one-state solution it's all the same to them so long as the region becomes uh investable stable and decoupled from the emotional volatility of Western politics but the regional partners uh particularly the Gulf governments especially Saudi Arabia they do care uh not necessarily that they're moral actors in the way that we wish they were but they are strategic state actors and they understand the region uh more than the OCGFC ever could they understand it and they have a stake in
23:00 - 23:30 it and they know something very critical you can't build vision 2030 on a genocide you can't sell Neon or a new Middle East while entire populations are being wiped out uh live on satellite television or live streamed on every smartphone so what do they want they want stability through integration not elimination not extermination that means one of two solutions a Palestinian state a formal entity even if it's weak even if it's neutered uh but it can pacify regional
23:30 - 24:00 anger and allow everyone to get back to business or number two possibility a two-state a one-state solution where Palestinians are absorbed into an expanded Israel given citizenship normalized as part of a regional block that's less dependent on the West especially on the US uh and more dependent on the GCC uh financing from the GCC and this is where the tension lies between these two factions the A OCGC don't care about the optics they want results quick total final ethnic
24:00 - 24:30 cleansing is not an obstacle for them it's an option for them it's a line item on their strategy sheet but the regional governments that's a disaster not just diplomatically but reputationally and in terms of their legitimacy because no outer regime can actually survive long term if they have are seen to have just stood silently by while a genocide was live streamed and at the end of that they just make a profit from it that's not uh uh viable for them so right now in Gaza you have negotiation not consensus between the most important
24:30 - 25:00 players the A national OCGFC are pushing for any means necessary to neutralize the Palestinian question and to make the region ready for capital meanwhile the GCC and others are pushing back saying "Look uh we'll deliver the same outcome peace normalization decoupling from the US stability and so on but let us do it in a way that doesn't completely decimate the Palestinians because there's no other way that we can actually deal with this uh uh that can bring long-term stability except to
25:00 - 25:30 peacefully resolve as as peacefully as possible resolve the Palestinian question." And what makes this even more complex of course is that Israel itself is uh internally divided and fractured there are factions that that want genocide and total eraser of the Palestinians then there's others who are open to integration especially now that the West is collapsing and the Gulf is rising so Gaza becomes the battleground not just for bombs and bodies but for visions one vision says erase silence dominate uh murder the other side says
25:30 - 26:00 uh the other vision says absorb normalize and rebrand and all of this is playing out with horrifying consequences for real people but from the OCGFC's perspective it's all negotiable they don't care who lives or dies they really don't only that in the end the region becomes stable a stable platform for capital for resource extraction and for postwestern governance in the Middle East and we need to understand this because if we keep analyzing Gaza only through the the lens of Zionism or nationalism then we're going to miss this larger picture
26:00 - 26:30 this is the crucible of the new world order what emerges from Gaza whether it's apartheid or integration or annihilation is going to set a precedent for how all dissenting populations are going to be dealt with elsewhere because if this is allowed to stand what's to what is to stop it from being repeated anywhere or everywhere else i'm telling you Gaza is going to be a template so you know again everything that Trump is doing is within the context of the advancement of this transition this shift trying to understand it in any
26:30 - 27:00 other way is a waste of time it's a waste of time and energy it's only going to cause confusion like if you try to reason out uh how the tariffs will or will not bring back manufacturing jobs to the US or how it's going to solve America's trade deficit or what have you this is all pointless distraction america is not competitive economically and it doesn't have the ingredients to become competitive economically america is in a state of irreversible decay and erosion as a result of having approached the economy and having approached
27:00 - 27:30 governance the way that they did from the beginning america has run its course that's just the way it is see you have to understand you in America you've never been anything but coal for the fire fuel for someone else's engine your firewood to keep the rich warm well that's not sustainable and it never was that's why I keep telling you to stop listening and stop trying to debate what they say only look at what they do and what the predictable outcome is going to be of what they're doing the rest is just smokeokc screen literally you know
27:30 - 28:00 you're like firefighters who think that your job is to fight the smoke not the fire so I said before what you need in America is a cultural revolution because the system that you have was born from your culture and then the system that you gave birth to used your culture to destroy and to subjugate you even further you need a massive cultural reformation in that country because look like I said what are the main reasons behind why the economic uh demolition of the United States is happening and why it's necessary you're volatile you're
28:00 - 28:30 emotional you're uneducated you're ignorant you're self-indulgent you're materialistic you have no social cohesion you have no sense of community no sense of solidarity your families are broken you're not reproducing uh you're racist you're divided you're polarized you're delusional you're uninformed undisiplined and scatterbrained you drink you smoke you do drugs you're on meds you're atomized you're lonely you're aggressive you're impatient you're addicted to your devices you're frivolous childish and foolish grown people doing dance trends
28:30 - 29:00 on TikTok in their garage women filming themselves in the longest hallway that they can find in their tiny apartments to try to look like they're walking the catwalk it's sad you're living on credit which means you're living in debt you know I mean if you actually only had what you can afford to have you'd be living in squalor i said most of the people in this supposedly richest country on earth are actually living in third world conditions but your diabolical credit cards let you keep up the appearance of abundance you've got
29:00 - 29:30 more bills piling up than you have dollars in your wallet but you'll withdraw a ward of cash from the ATM on your Visa card just to post a picture on Instagram flashing your money no you need a cultural change in America now you might feel insulted by everything I just said about you but listen the solution is implied in the problem because the solution is the opposite of the problem you understand if I say that you're down don't get mad at me because I said that you're down understand that I'm telling you to get up the solution is implied in the problem the
29:30 - 30:00 prescription is embedded in the diagnosis you're uneducated okay so learn read educate yourself you're addicted to your device get off your device get off the internet stop drinking alcohol stop uh uh taking narcotics grow up if you're frivolous and silly well get serious and if you don't know how to be serious then get around serious people and be silent that way you'll learn you're isolated and disconnected well interact build community mend your relationships with
30:00 - 30:30 your family be patient with your spouse be forgiving be understanding be generous you know be mature hold the the relationships that you have dear not uh not uh easily dismissible the solutions are implied in the problems you're the victims of social engineering that's a fact and we can actually identify all of the ways that this has been done and you need to just start doing the opposite of what they have done to you basically I'm saying that you need to civilize and no one can do that for you that's your job
30:30 - 31:00 you have to do that yourself stop waiting for the government or stop waiting for the authorities or the power structure to help you they're not going to help you so you can try to hammer this out this cultural change you know item by item bad habit by bad habit uh negative tendency by negative tendency one by one or you can fasttrack all of that just by becoming a Muslim because that's the really the paradigm shift that you need not just behaviorally but spiritually and intellectually look Muslims have survived so-called failed states we've survived collapsed
31:00 - 31:30 governments invasion occupation colonization and devastation and we stayed cohesive we have failed states but not failed societies you're safer in Syria today after more than a decade of war than you are in Miami right now there are no people on earth who are more civilized who are more mature who are more resourceful who are more sophisticated or more spiritually powerful than the people of Gaza well if a fraction of the destruction that has been inflicted in Gaza happened in the United States well you'd have a rampage
31:30 - 32:00 of crime and violence between the citizens the likes of which no one has ever seen before people would be robbing food from babies aid trucks would be hijacked and ransacked well you'd all turn to cannibalism and you know it your enemies wouldn't have to bomb you at all because you'd all be killing each other burning and looting and pillaging now you need a cultural change in America because this mentality is exactly how and exactly why the power structure can do to you what they do to you now I'm just telling you you can do
32:00 - 32:30 whatever you want with what I'm saying but you need to know that your government and your corporations and your power structure are selling you out they've got you on a don't revive list so you're going to have to do for yourselves and that's not going to work the way you all are now it's not going to work on an individual basis you absolutely need families you absolutely need community you need spouses you need to build parallel uh structures rival structures i'm talking about structures for procuring resources for solving problems for education for policing for
32:30 - 33:00 healthcare listen your power structure is cutting you loose your government is cutting you loose so you're either going to be left with nothing or you're going to be left with whatever you build yourselves and if you want to build something for yourselves then you have to start first by building your own selves first because your culture has been doing nothing all this time but tear you down your whole life
