So, it looks like the forever war model

is coming to an end.

>> We initiate, we attack, we surprise, and

we attack those enemies that seek our

destruction, that seek to kill us, we

attack [music] them before they have a

chance to do so. If you know Hebrew,

akam lo orega ashkel lo orego. Kill them

first.

>> The next phase of the global economy

needs something that the forever war

model just can't give us, which is

stability.

Why we need stability is because

you can't build a trillion-dollar AI

grid in a world that's always on fire.

Now, if this is true, it would explain

why we're seeing such a change to the

narrative from the media.

Because right now,

there is real criticism of US's greatest

ally, Israel.

And it's criticism by people no one ever

thought would criticize Israel.

>> And, you know, you're you're a country

of of 9 million people. You can't just

kill your way out of solving [music]

every single national security problem

that you have.

>> Why

did October 7th happen? What were the

signals that were missed? What could

have been done differently?

>> [music]

>> What did Bibi Netanyahu think he was

doing having Cutter pay Hamas millions

and millions of dollars a month in

order, in his thinking, to weaken the

Palestinian Authority? What did he think

was going to happen?

>> Without the United States, there would

be no Israel. Israel would have been

blown up a long time ago had I not

gotten involved. Israel's fighting

Hezbollah too long and too many people

are being killed.

>> Let me explain.

A couple of days ago, the United States

and Iran signed a historic deal to end

one of the most destructive wars in the

Middle East.

And within days, that deal was canceled.

How come?

Well, it's because America's closest

ally in the region kept on bombing

Lebanon, which was in violation of the

agreement between Iran and the United

States.

That agreement, by the way, is called

the memorandum of understanding.

Now, Israel's basically saying, "This

deal does not apply to them."

So, Iran was like, "Well, okay. We're

now closing the Strait of Hormuz again.

So, no more oil for the world. Have fun

with the global economy, and let's see

how long your markets last."

That's where we're at today.

Now, the thing that I want to explain is

how the world actually works, and what

Israel really represents for the United

States.

This is going to be a pretty ambitious

video, but what you have to understand

is that

for a very small group of powerful

people,

peace is a very dangerous thing.

Because peace threatens the most

profitable business model that humanity

has ever created. [music]

That model, of course, is the forever

war model.

The product is war, and the way it works

is

war generates demand for weapons, and

every time countries fight, that

justifies a bigger Pentagon budget, and

every destroyed city becomes an

opportunity to make money with

reconstruction contracts.

That is why we are seeing non-government

officials structuring deals on the

behalf of the United States.

>> So, Jared Kushner actually came up with

a with a very interesting solution with

the Qataris, where

>> instead of actual people that represent

the country, we're seeing real estate

developers negotiating these deals.

Because

rebuilding's very good for business. In

fact, it is so good for business that if

you look at history, you'll find that

the United States has been at war for

something like 93% of its entire

existence.

In almost 250 years as a nation,

the US has had maybe 15, maybe 20 years

of actual peace.

And out of all those wars, only five

were ever officially declared by

Congress the way the Constitution tells

us we're supposed to do it.

Now, after the Cold War era between the

Soviet Union and the United States,

things got worse. We went from 46

military interventions during the whole

Cold War era to 188

in the 25 years after it.

And just between 1947 and 1989,

the US tried to change or overthrow

another country's governments

72 different times. Most of them, of

course, in secret. The countries like

Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Grenada,

Panama, Somalia, Libya, Iraq,

Afghanistan.

America did not invent this model. The

US actually inherited it.

Because before the US was the world's

police force, it was Great Britain. It

was the British Empire that was the

global cop from 1815 all the way to

1914.

And during that whole century, they were

at war for all but about 15 years of

their history.

Britain ran the whole world through what

are called proxies.

A proxy is basically a substitute for

your interests. Because someone else

needs to destabilize the world so that

while they do, you can act like the good

cop that cares for values like freedom

and democracy.

While the other country gets to be the

bad cop who destabilizes the world.

Now, why this proxy is so important is

because

if you're the most powerful country in

the world,

you don't want to send your own soldiers

into every single fight. It's expensive.

It's unpopular. Like people start asking

really hard questions back at home.

So, instead, you find a close ally.

Somebody in the region who has their own

reasons to fight and you back them up.

You give them weapons, you give them

capital, and you give them the political

cover. And they do the destabilizing

while you do the posturing and the

rebuilding. That's a proxy.

And for decades now, Israel has been

America's proxy. We give them billions

of dollars in military aid every year.

We give them weapons, and we'll veto

basically anything that the UN throws

against them.

And in return, Israel acts as America's

proxy of interest in the Middle East.

That relationship allows for this

forever war model.

Because wherever there is war, there's

always an opportunity to make some

money.

And if there is an opportunity to make

some money, don't you dare stand in the

way of it. That's also why people that

have called for peace throughout history

have somehow ended up in very bad

scenarios.

>> I speak of peace because of the new face

of war.

Total war makes no sense

in an age where great powers can

maintain large

and relatively invulnerable nuclear

forces

and refuse to surrender

without resort to those forces.

>> So in this video, I want to explain how

much deeper this model actually goes and

how it [music] might be coming to an

end. So with that said, let's get into

it.

Hi, my name is Andrei Jikh. Hope you're

doing well. Come for the finance and

stay for the forever war model. So,

Trump signs a deal to end the war with

Iran. Israel just kept on bombing

anyway.

They are now defying the president of

the United States.

And the easy explanation to that is,

Israel controls America. I see that

everywhere on social media.

But the truth is that Israel and the

United States are more or less one in

the same. Their interests are a lot of

times the same. They are both

subservient to the capital machine.

Everyone is being used for a greater

purpose. And that purpose is to extract

resources and centralize power. Now, let

me explain.

Throughout history, countries have

basically organized their power in two

different ways.

In one type of country, we can call the

sovereign,

the government sits on top as the ruling

class. And it's the people in government

that hold the power, right? The capital,

or money, answers to them.

Right? The state decides what gets

built, who gets rich, right? Where the

resources go.

We usually call these countries

nationalistic sovereign, right? China

runs this way. And we've seen examples

of how China has punished their

capitalists.

Russia runs this way. They've also

punished their capitalists before. Iran

runs this way. And love them or hate

them, in those countries, their

government is the boss, and corporate

capital is their employee.

Now, here in the United States, it is

reversed. It's flipped. Here, capital

sits on top, and government answers to

it. The corporations, the banks, and the

giant asset managers like the

BlackRocks, the State Streets, and the

Vanguards, they're the boss, and the

politicians are basically their

employees. They're kind of what I like

to call piñatas. They're sort of like

these symbols that are meant to

represent our interests. But as George

Carlin would say, they're symbols for

the symbol-minded,

right? Because we beat them up expecting

some kind of change, but nothing ever

changes because they were never in

charge in the first place. And I know

that sounds cynical, but that is how it

works. We know this because politicians

need hundreds of millions of dollars to

win elections.

Well, where does that money come from?

From the people who already had it. And

once they write their checks, the

politician owes them a favor. So, the

political class in this country doesn't

really rule over capital. It works for

it.

Now, some people call this power the man

or central planners or something else,

but the best way to understand the

powers that actually run the West

was best described by Simon Dixon's

model, where power is made up of the big

three.

The financial industrial complex, aka

the FIC, which is Wall Street, the

banks, and the crypto lobby.

You've got the military industrial

complex, aka the MIC, which is the war

economy we were just talking about.

And then you've got the rising power,

which is the technological industrial

complex, aka the TIC, right? Which is

big tech, AI, data, and surveillance.

And then sitting across the room from

all of that, on the opposite side of the

spectrum, you've got the sovereigns. The

nations that refuse to let capital run

their interests.

Those are the players. What is the game?

Now, before I get into it though, this

video is sponsored by Gemini. All

opinions are my own and were not

influenced or endorsed by Gemini. I've

used Gemini for years and recently I

started using something new from them

called Gemini predictions. It fits

perfectly with the kind of things we

already talk about because every week

we're looking at the same questions. How

are markets thinking about the next Fed

decision? What happens after the next

inflation report? What happens to oil or

gold or markets when the world is

changing this fast? And usually we talk

about those things, we analyze them, and

then we watch the market react. But

Gemini predictions gives you a way to

express your view on real world outcomes

in real time directly inside Gemini.

What I like about it is that it's super

easy to navigate. Here inside the app

for example, I'm looking at one of the

short duration Bitcoin contracts,

checking the possible outcomes, the

pricing, and the time left before

deciding whether this is something I

want to participate in. Now, of course,

this is not financial advice. Prediction

markets involve risk and you should only

use money you're comfortable putting at

risk. Gemini predictions is also

available in all 50 states, so if you

want to give it a try, go to

gemini.com/andre

or click the link in the description

down below. Please be careful, do your

own research, and make sure you

understand the risks. And now, let's get

back to it. Okay, so the whole game of

this system is to gain control over

capital in order to centralize power.

Basically, the game is to get rich.

And here's how we do that.

America holds the most powerful weapon

in human history, which is the dollar.

Cuz the whole world has to use our

dollars to buy their energy and to trade

with each other. So, we get to control

the plumbing of the entire global

economy. That is the fixed superpower.

>> [snorts]

>> Now, we use this superpower to crack

other countries open so we can take

their resources.

And there's basically four ways to crack

a country open, right? Number one, you

sanction it. Their economy collapses.

In 2018, for example, the US pulled out

of the Iran nuclear deal.

Now, countries like Germany, France, and

Britain, they still wanted to keep

trading with Iran. But the US basically

said, "Well, that's nice, but if you

guys want access to the US financial

system, you're going to have to choose

who you want to do business with."

So, European companies started leaving

Iran.

Now, the second way to crack a country

open is you cut it off from its

bloodstream, which is access to the

dollar. So, their economy collapses.

For example, in 1988, the United States

basically told Panama,

"Hey, that's a nice country you have

there. It'd be a shame if the cash

stopped moving here." So, we froze their

assets, we blocked payments, and we

pushed money that was supposed to go to

them into the Federal Reserve escrow

accounts, and because Panama's economy

relied on the dollar, their banks closed

for 9 weeks because there wasn't enough

cash,

and their economy was massively

pressured. Now, the third way to crack a

country open is

you go to war with it. You pressure it

long enough that will cause huge amounts

of inflation because war is always

inflationary. So, their economy

collapses. And the people of that

country will hate their leaders so much

they'll revolt against them. And when

the time is right, we'll remove that guy

from power and replace him with one of

our own who's cool with us rebuilding

there.

Okay, the fourth way is the last resort.

Takes the longest and that is use the

media and the capital to fund the

opposition from inside that country to

eventually push for a revolution in the

name of good. Right, in the name of

democracy, in the name of human rights.

And if that goes on long enough, you let

the country tear itself apart from the

inside. People revolt, right? They

replace their leader themselves. The

economy falls apart.

Four different ways of doing the same

thing, which is to collapse an economy

in order to get their resources

privatized, sold off, and get them

sucked into the financial industrial

complex where more power and capital can

centralize.

This is why

unlike 99% of people in this world,

we are able to park our money into the

S&P 500 index

and assuming that we're sensible, right?

We've saved enough and invested

diligently throughout our lives, we get

to retire fat and happy at the age of 67

as millionaires.

Hold on though. Where does this system

get the money to do this, I wonder?

Well, it gets it from you. From all of

us.

Because we have been conditioned to

persistently dollar cost average into

the market. Right? That is the heroes we

prop up. That's who the media says we

should look up to.

And it is this very same market that

rules over our political class.

Cuz the true votes do not come from you

voting at the voting booth.

It comes from voting with capital.

Now, most of us will never get those

votes because we dollar cost average

into what are called mutual funds, ETFs,

target retirement funds, right? Places

that forfeit those voting rights to the

BlackRocks, the State Streets, and the

Vanguards.

Those votes get used to support these

policies.

Now, after those countries get

vassalized and absorbed into the thick

and we get richer,

the machine rolls on to the next country

and then the next one and the next one.

All right, but the catch though is that

not every country can be cracked.

Some countries are really hard to take

down.

Some countries, for example, have very

powerful allies who might have their

back, right?

Some countries are just really big and

they're self-sufficient and they don't

actually need the US.

Maybe they don't depend on the dollar or

on energy because they have their own.

Some countries have nuclear weapons.

Now, if the first three strategies don't

work,

then the fourth strategy of last resort

is

propaganda. That consists of using the

media, the entertainment industry,

culture, right? That tries to change the

minds from the inside of that country to

hopefully spark a revolution.

That brings me then to Iran and the

conflict that the machine is now in. The

conflict of the machine is this.

AI needs stability in the region. The

forever war model needs war and

instability.

Iran knows that it has a lot of leverage

here because even though they can't win

the military war,

they can wait it out long enough to

collapse the global economy.

They know that, which is why in a recent

meeting with their leaders,

they kind of embarrassed US leadership

by just not showing up at all and having

US leadership show up first. Which in

the game of negotiations is a big no-no.

Now also, in this game where

capital and centralization of power is

the end goal,

a collapse of the economy is the worst

possible outcome.

And it is obvious the Iranian leadership

understands this.

And that's why they've been putting out

messages like this.

>> Both the ruling class, the military

generals, your own government, the

political leadership, and the head of

the government, they are all just using

you as human shields. The spiral of

silence created is the result of a

financial oligarchy.

>> Iran mentioned the financial oligarchy,

which is exactly the system where

capital sits above the government.

Now, where does Israel play a role in

all of this?

Israel is the cover story for the US

empire.

Israel's the piece of the whole machine

whose job it is to keep the world in

conflict. Remember the MIC, right, the

military side of this. They only make

money when there's a war, right, weapons

to sell and cities to rebuild.

And somebody has to fight.

And in the most resource-rich, most

strategically important region on the

planet, that somebody has been Israel.

That is their role.

Israel keeps the Middle East unstable

enough that the forever war model never

runs out of customers.

But at the end of the day, this can't go

on forever. Something has to give.

The model of making money from war will

inevitably end.

One way or another, but that is why

we're seeing money move from the war

model

to the build-out of the last technology

humans will ever need to build, which is

robots and AI.

And in order to transition this money

from one place to the other, you need an

exit strategy,

you need a face to represent the

movement, and you need on brand

messaging from everyone.

That's what we're watching right now. We

are watching that exit strategy play

out. That is why we're seeing the

coordinated public criticism of Israel

from people who would have never

criticized Israel before. All that

criticism gives us the exit narrative.

Everyone is now on the same page if you

haven't noticed.

But we also need a face that will allow

us to transition the model to AI.

And the candidate that best represents

the interest of the technological

industrial complex is J.D. Vance.

J.D. Vance's entire political career was

essentially launched by one man. And

that man's name is Peter Thiel.

Peter Thiel spent around $15 million for

Vance's Senate run, which is one of the

biggest bets on a Senate candidate ever

made.

J.D. Vance worked inside of Peter

Thiel's world. Peter Thiel was the guy

who helped get him into Trump's orbit in

the first place so that he could become

VP.

That's not a theory. This is all on

record.

Now, J.D. Vance doesn't have a lot of

competition. He is the clearest

political embodiment of the tech world

that exists in power today.

So now we have an exit narrative where

everyone's on the same page. We have a

face that represents the movement. And

he's also on board with criticizing

Israel, right? All of it is consistent

with this story.

If you wanted to transition from wars to

AI, you take your guy, you would

distance him from this forever war

model, you'd let him look strong and

independent by standing up to Israel in

public, which is exactly what we're

watching him do right now.

>> If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli

government, I might not be attacking the

only powerful ally that I have anywhere

left in the entire world. And anybody in

Israel who thinks their biggest problem

is the president of the United States

needs to wake up and smell the reality

of the situation that country is in.

>> That's how you'd set him up to be the

face of the new world order heading into

2028. That is how the technological

industrial complex becomes the power

player. That's how we usher in this

digital control grid. So, let me tie all

of this together. Remember the three

power structures from Simon Dixon, the

FIC, the MIC, and the TIC. All right,

for the last few decades, the financial

industrial complex used the military

industrial complex to run this forever

war model because war was the most

profitable product in the world.

War means more weapons contracts,

emergency budgets, sanctions, oil

shocks, reconstruction deals, and of

course, more and more debt.

Now, the MIC created the need for war

using its proxies. All right, good cop

US, bad cop Israel.

And the financial industrial complex

financed all of it.

But now, the product is changing.

The new king on the block is going to be

the TIC, the technological industrial

complex.

They want to build out AI, data centers,

robots, surveillance, chips, energy,

digital infrastructure. That is where

the money's going right now.

But this creates a problem cuz the old

model and the new model want opposite

things.

The MIC needs chaos and forever wars,

and the TIC needs stability cuz you

can't build a trillion-dollar AI grid in

a world that is always on fire.

Data centers need power, right? Supply

chains that work, energy markets that

work, shipping lanes that stay open.

So,

what we might be watching is not America

versus Iran or Israel versus Lebanon.

we are watching a civil war inside the

profit machine itself.

Two factions of the same system fighting

over which business model will run the

future.

This is where Simon Dixon says, "Look at

who's funding these operations." Right

at the top you have Gulf Capital, which

are countries like Saudi Arabia, the

UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, countries with giant

sovereign wealth funds that need places

to invest trillions of dollars.

Well, then you have the financial

industrial complex, which are the banks,

the asset managers, private equity, old

banking families, the Western financial

system that can turn all of this

into investable products like bonds,

stocks, loans, insurance contracts,

infrastructure funds, yield, right?

Well, then you have the technological

industrial complex who also funded

Trump's election. People like Elon Musk,

Peter Thiel, Silicon Valley.

And this is all done in order to

transition from the old war model to

building AI, robots, satellites, data

centers, and the surveillance side of

the system, the digital control grid.

Well, then of course you can't leave out

the military industrial complex, which

was that old war economy, which are the

defense contractors, the weapons lobby,

right? And the Israel first donors

represented by people like Miriam

Adelson.

That is the old model in conflict with

the new.

So, now the question is,

well, who's winning?

Right now, it looks like the Gulf,

the financial industrial complex,

and the technological industrial

complex.

They're trying to move the region toward

stability, cuz again, stability lets

them build and own the future.

Now, while that's happening though,

the military industrial complex will

still benefit from the chaos,

because chaos keeps their model alive.

That's what the Iran conflict

represents.

Now, Iran does not need to win the

conventional war.

Iran is convincing the world right now

that the future is going to be cheaper

with them inside the system. And Iran

has the geography, they have the energy,

and the choke point to leverage

themselves into this bigger future to be

part of that deal.

Now, China's role in this

is they're the factory of the world, the

manufacturing base, right? The

infrastructure, and the alternative

payment rails based on gold.

Now, the Gulf has the money.

The West for now still has the financial

wrapper.

But ultimately, an agreement will be

reached because ownership and rebuilding

is a lot more profitable right now than

war.

You can only bomb somebody once.

But if you finance the rebuilding, you

own the ports, you insure the ships, you

control the payment rails, you run the

data centers, you reroute their energy,

collect interest rates for the next 30

years, and that's a way better business

model.

That's the transition away from war as a

service to infrastructure and AI as a

service.

And that is why I believe that in the

near future

Israel's leadership will probably be

changed. Its resources will be

privatized, and it too will be absorbed

into this profit machine.

The leaders of the old forever war model

will be replaced with new ones.

And we will get whatever narrative

they'll negotiate. That's where I think

this is going. Now, if you're interested
