Karl, you are indispensable. A thousand thanks for what you do. If I follow the bread crumbs, an escalation of the war in Ukraine is necessary to distract from Israel's continuing genocidal madness. I believe you are correct about China holding the key to the Middle East. But the key is not a Genocide Convention--which I believe would be another ineffective talking and condemnation forum. The hold that the US has on Egypt and Saudi Arabia--particularly Egypt--must be definitively broken. This is the swing element--the essential tectonic shift. That hold is military support (ie weaponry, military technology & security guarantees), which Russia and China can replace, and--and most of all--financial. Here is where China comes in. China must offer to fully replace all US financial arrangements--loans, export markets, aid, investment opportunities, development-- in short, the works. This is the actual heart of the Hegemon's power. Frankly, Israel and the Hegemon will both be defeated eventually anyway, but the road without this Chinese intervention will be longer and messier.

I'm really not sure about Crooke.

Brigden is of course part of Farage's Reform- Britain's very own MAGA populist party- who seem to be leveraging the proxy war and talk of escalation to gain support for their nationalism and independence from NATO.

Crooke has spoken of the WEF in ways that make me suspicious that he's propagating the agenda hoax that creates fear of left wing one world government. Which actually keeps power in the hands of the powerful ie with US fossil fuel and animal ag cartels.

The elephant in the room is that open borders and falling living standards will soon seem like child's play. The more we sanction and isolate from BRICS the faster our economies, already in recession, will tank. The West is dying and the great symbiosis of Russia and China are now deciding how the world is going to be. Unless we find leaders who will take us into this world- we're screwed.
