When You Understand…

When you understand that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. And this means that they have enough oil to upturn the entire world economy, making oil cheaper than most of us have experienced in this century, and in doing so they would unseat many powerful oil barons and stakeholders from their perch. When you understand that Russia has enough oil, gas, and other resources to potentially supply to Europe to help remake it into an industrial powerhouse, and Russia into a country as wealthy as any oil sheikh country, making both Europe and Russia richer and more powerful than the US. When you understand that Iran has enough oil to supply the entire Middle East and compete with OPEC, unsettling regional power structures. When you understand that Gaza has enough natural gas and other reserves just off its coast to make Gaza into a wealthy little country, and that many elites just can't ever abide this happening.

And when you understand that if all this were to happen, that the United States and its oil and resource partners would be displaced from their position as dominating the whole world. Or at least that they would be forced to compete on a far more even footing. Making the world economy far less US, OPEC, and Israeli dominant.

When you understand this, then you realize that what we see happening across the world makes far more sense than the old "we must fight for democracy" or "we must defend the only democracy in the Middle East" or "this was foretold to happen when the fig tree blossomed" nonsense. These are all lies designed to get people to cheer on what are effectively just imperial strategies of dominance.

Immoral government acts exactly like Mafia. Not similar to it, exactly like it. It uses a combination of corruption, bribes, addiction to services (in the foreign affairs context, foreign aid) lies and force to achieve its goals.

- It might use force because bribes failed.

- It might use force because it just wants to remind people it can.

- It might use force just because it can, and it is just easy for it to do so.

But it acts like Mafia in seeking to dominate and increase its territory.

Note: I said immoral government acts this way. This is an important distinction. 

Legitimate government retains force for the good of its own people, to enact justice and defend the nation. It is a servant that exists for the good of the nation, its people, and seeks to use force against other nations only in the strictest terms of self-defence; like defending their own borders, resources and population.

Immoral government will stretch the definition of self-defence to mean anything it wants to justify.

Immoral government has fallen for the devil's temptation that he offered Jesus: "to rule over many nations."

What we see happening fits far better into this framework than the false narratives people are fed, to make them feel like theft of other nations resources is justified.

This does not make Iran or Russian leadership good guys. That's not my point, especially in the case of Iran. My point is an immoral globalist elite is using US, Israeli, and other international and globalist forces to maintain its power over as much of the world that it can. And this is evil. And it bears evil fruit as a result.

And this explains what we are seeing better than those other frameworks. It is also contemptible and this sort of behaviour always results in the collapse of the society engaging in it.
