How 10/7 Plays into The Great Reset and Other Geopolitical Issues

I posted earlier today a 10-minute podcast episode that offers some expanded commentary on my recent article “October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear.”

• Here, I talk about why I wrote the article and how the infamous attack links with larger geopolitical events unfolding in the world today.

• One central question I address is: why is the US backing what seems like a losing strategy from Israel? Could the forthcoming “Great Reset” herald the US abandoning its longtime vassal colony?

A revised transcript of my commentary is available below. It’s worth reading.

Intro:

I will just offer a few follow up comments on the article I published, which is called October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear. I just published that article and the associated podcast episode, which I did a read-through of about a day ago.

• I'm going to be doing a series on the Middle East, so I did this article specifically to set the stage for other topics that we are going to go into in that series.

• My goal was to move beyond some of the generic talking points about the conflict and to go into some of the nuance about what actually happened on that day.

I think this nuance is important because it starts to factor in the idea that there's perhaps a hidden interest behind this event - or more specifically, a US imperial interest; a Deep State interest. And that maybe it is using the Israel-Gaza conflict as a means to orchestrate a larger grand strategy.

• The more you go into the details of October 7th, the more you come to the conclusion that the events taking place here aren’t happening by complete surprise.

• The machinations of US Empire are surely behind it, as they have been behind all major world events for the past 100-plus years.

Why Israel Could Be the Next Ukraine

The way the US has used the Zelensky administration in Ukraine provides context to how I think they’re using Netanyahu, the Likud party, and the Israel because in the case of Ukraine we see a situation in which U.S. interests are deliberately manipulating the leadership of a country in order to exert its own larger geopolitical scheme.

• So it's obvious that the Ukraine War is driven by outside interests and that Zelinsky is the point man for the Pentagon or CIA or whoever is driving this war. He’s been maneuvered into place, and they're using him to fulfill their larger goal and sacrificing Ukraine in order to do so.

• And I feel the same way about Israel ultimately: that Netanyahu is the US's guy. He’s their chosen tyrant. They've placed him into position and they're using him to play out a larger scheme.

Both in the case of Zelinski and in the case of Netanyahu, each has their own motivations, their own ideologies that motivate them to participate and play their role in this agenda. But no matter what their beliefs are, ultimately, for the grand strategists behind US empire, they’re just pieces on a chessboard.

• And so in Israel's eyes, its leadership class may be pursuing plans for a larger expansion of Israeli territory and power in the region. But at the same time, from the U.S. standpoint, the US deep state, this could be a plan that was never intended to succeed. Maybe they have their own interests in resetting relations with the Arab world, or maybe it’s something else.

• But Israel seems to be shooting itself in the foot with their current actions in Gaza, and it is likely the US is supporting this suicide because they have an alternative plan for the Middle East. Who knows: for the grand strategists behind the US Deep State, maybe the sacrifice of Israel is a necessary part of that larger shift.

When the Petrodollar Fazes Out, the US’s Relationship with Israel Will Change

Israel was crucial to U.S. foreign policy for such a long time because of the petrodollar. But in an age when the dollar system is now on the cusp of being replaced by a digital dollar, and I think we're on the cusp of an energy revolution. If we're setting the stage for an energy revolution and a revolution in governance and a revolution in finance, there is not a need necessarily for the US to maintain the same type of relationship with Israel that it used to.

• There might not be a need to keep Israel as a type of poison pill in the region to facilitate destabilization because the value of the destabilization was always in the context of the petrodollar and the need to manage to control the energy, the oil-based energy economy. So these are some of the things that are playing out.

October 7th: A 9/11-esque Operation

Regarding the recent article on October 7th, there was a little bit of controversy in my comment section on the Substack: a few readers pushing back on the idea that I dismissed some of the more flagrant atrocities that were attributed to Hamas on October 7th. So I want to comment a little bit about that.

• You know, my ultimate feeling is that the October 7th attack was kind of like a 9/11-style engineered conspiracy. It's pretty clear that Israel, Israeli defense and intelligence, had foreknowledge of it and deliberately did nothing to allow this attack to take place.

• But I think they did more than that: I think they had their agents in Gaza - and we know that they do have intelligence assets and have always managed Hamas from a strategic standpoint. So it's clear that not only did they let the attack happen, they may have even compromised their own army's ability to fend it off. The success of the operation, in their eyes, depended on allowing it to proceed to a certain level of extremeness, because that then would provide the justification to allow them to do their pre-planned counter-response of cleansing Gaza, which is part of a larger US-Israeli “New Middle East” campaign.

But like I was saying before, it might be that while the US is playing a part in this, it is also ultimately planning to abandon Israel.

• A lot of people talk about Israel's influence on the US and the role of their lobbying industry, but you know, at the end of the day, the US is not dependent on Israel; Israel is dependent on the US.

• And the US only has a strategic need to maintain Israel while it's maintaining the petrodollar paradigm. But if that is ending, it has no longer the need necessarily to keep Israel as it is. So Israel could be sacrificed in a similar way to Ukraine.

• It really depends on what the plans are of the grand strategies of the US. But the US is the global empire. Israel is not the empire; Israel is a vassal state of this empire.

We have to understand that again, the US is the dominant hegemon. It's the global power and Israel is the vassal state. And so the global empire is free to use that vassal state as it wills. We don't know necessarily what its will is, but we know that we have this great reset and all this grand reshuffling going on.

• And so it's not clear that the long-term plan is to keep Israel in play in the same way that it has been for the past 70 years or so. So that's that's my view.

Israel Was Prepared to Sell Its Pre-Planned War

In my recent article on October 7th, one of the reasons I wanted to go into the nuance of the attack and the counter-response and all of that was to demonstrate that it seemed like there was a ready-made propaganda initiative in place from the moment the attacks first took place.

• For example, we can point to all kinds of accusations coming out almost immediately that were very extreme, ones that have since been debunked.

• Now, just because some of the more extreme alleged atrocities were debunked doesn't mean that other atrocities didn't happen during the attack, such as the cold-blooded murder of civilians.

• One key point is that it serves Israel’s propaganda strategy that everyone believe the absolute worst about Hamas in order that its counter-response be perceived favorably by the public. It is true, invading Gazan militants did many atrocious things that day, be they from Hamas or not; but that doesn’t mean every single alleged atrocitity is true.

• Israel seemed to have a propaganda campaign ready-made in order to baloon things up to an extreme level because it wanted and needed to sell its public on the idea of embracing a long, entranched conflict with Hamas/Gaza.

One of the points I try to make in the article is that there were clear objectives from Hamas's standpoint why they would want to do this attack. There was a core military objective to the campaign, and all of the murders and chaos that ensued were not necessarily part of that.

• Not all the militants who came in there were from Hamas. Between all the various parties, certain atrocities were not doubt carried out. But it's not necessarily true to attribute all of that to Hamas, which is the government of Gaza. There's also the PIJ, which is even more extreme and militant than Hamas. And then there's also a bunch of unaffiliated militants and armed individuals who are doing their own kind of vigilante thing.

• And so it was chaos. And one of the things that a lot of people have pointed out is that when these forces streamed in, they didn't expect to find so little resistance. And I think that is especially true with the other factions, the kind of unaffiliated groups who kind of streamed in and had unprecedented access to Israel to do kind of what they wanted for a brief period of time.

And so I almost feel like that situation is part of the engineer operation because they gave these militants all kinds of opportunities to do whatever they wanted to express their hatred and anger towards Israeli citizens and soldiers and whoever they found. So there really were atrocities that were performed that day.

• But, again, is it fare to say they were all by Hamas? When we look at some of the things that happened and compare them with the stated mission objectives put out by Hamas, they don't align.

• So the idea of performing atrocities that were horrifying would be against the objective of overcoming the status quo, so to speak, of Israel’s ongoing subjugation of the Palestine/Gaza population. If one major goal of Palestine is to turn world opinion in their favor and to gain sympathy for the plight of the Gazans, how is murdering people and recording it on your GoPro camera going to help that?

So if you're going out there and performing atrocities, then you're setting yourself up for Israeli propaganda to show that “you and your kind” are inhuman savages. It justifies their position of “that's why we need to wipe them out” and all that.

• And so it seems like a certain number of these atrocities were desired and allowed by Israel. And the proof of this is in the lack of a substantial Israeli counter-response to the attack for hours and hours. They deliberately gave these insurgents time to perform their own atrocities. At the same time they had their ready-made propaganda campaign all set up and ready so that they could embellish the true events and make them as extreme as possible.

• And so you combine those two and you gain the power to spark a genocidal fury within the populace and among the international supporters of Israel. This allows you to sell the Israeli public and the international community on your planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

• The goal is to make it unlivable, and basically clear the population out. And then you have this Gaza region now available for Israel to use as it wishes, including for possible natural gas drilling and and a potential Suez Canal alternative.

So there are many geostrategic reasons why Israel would have an interest in doing the things that it is doing. And, you know, the 10/7 attack set the stage for all this. So my feeling is that Hamas was lured into this situation because it was clear that Israel knew about this. And so they made the plans to use this situation to their advantage.

• They let these invading militants (many not from Hamas) get a few hours of kidnappings and revenge killings in. And then they were all ready and prepared to then use these killings against them in order to justify their bombing campaign and the cleansing of Gaza.

Conclusion

So that's my feeling about the attacks, and that's why I wrote the article. And also I wanted to rectify some of my initial comments when I couldn't I didn't understand initially what the objectives possibly could have been for the this Hamas mission, this raid, because it's because it seemed as if it was purely to perform atrocities. Well, now we're getting a different view of how many actually died by the hands of these terrorists.

• And it's important to point out that many of the Israeli civilians were killed by their own forces. So Israel killed many of its own people, and it was truly chaos.

• So I wanted to delve into all of that stuff in this most recent episodes, but I just want to take some time to add some further commentary to the article and why I wrote it.

Check back soon. I'll have more analysis coming your way...
