The world is a game, and the moves have already been made.

The American plan for global dominance and its strategic energy gambit against China.

I haven’t been writing much lately because I am consuming a lot of information right now, trying to figure out how the war is progressing. Since we all know that truth is the first casualty of war, finding out what is really happening is difficult and demands a lot of effort.

Additionally, I am deeply discouraged by many commentators and their reactions; as time passes, the number of people I am willing to listen to or take seriously is dwindling. As I have mentioned many times, the people closest to my views are John Helmer and Brian Berletic, whose video I have attached to this post.

I previously wrote a post titled, “It’s not the Jews; it’s capitalism, oligarchs, and class struggle,” referencing Warren Buffett’s quote: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war.” That post was received very poorly and was widely disliked. Since I am “nobody” and people don’t take me seriously, perhaps you will take the message seriously coming from Brian Berletic, who expresses the same views I did.

The narrative that America is acting solely for Israel, or that America doesn’t benefit from these actions and has no need to be involved in the Middle East, shows naivety and a complete lack of understanding regarding American hegemony and the world we live in. I wrote recently that one good thing to come from this war in Iran is that people are finally starting to see what I saw long ago. When I called the West our “Western Capitalist Empire of Evil” led by America, I was accused of being biased and unfair toward the West. However, now that people see America bombing an elementary school for girls — killing over 100 young girls without an apology or any expression of remorse — perhaps they will finally see what I have been talking about all along.

I was accused of being non-objective for calling a monster a monster. I hope people will finally wake up; I see them starting to do so, which is the one silver lining of this war. People are stopping the “cope” of pretending they don’t live in an Empire of Evil just to ease their consciences.

We won’t be sitting here making excuses for Americans as Americans. “Oh, it’s just the government. Oh, it’s just the state. It’s not the people.” No, we’re done.

We’re done. You do not get to murder. I don’t know how to convey the gravity of what has happened. This is not even killing the Pope. This is like killing the Pope, Putin, and Kim all put together. This is catastrophic.

You don’t get to do this to people and then get away with it. That’s not how the world works. That’s not how the world works. It never has, and it never will, and it shouldn’t. You killed over a hundred schoolgirls.

Chris is right to keep mentioning that it’s the Epstein regime. The Epstein regime that traffics, murders, and abuses young girls, then murders over a hundred of them. And these Zionists and Hasbara agents are all over social media saying Iran killed them and laughing about it. I have never seen anything as despicable as this in my life.

How can you support, make jokes, or do propaganda for a regime that we know is run by pedophiles, supremacists, and criminals? You are disgusting. Disgusting.

And I want blood. I will be calling out every single one of you pieces of shit until the day I die. And when I do—hopefully martyred or in some ridiculous way—I will come back and I will fucking haunt you. I am disgusted.

This was me when Libya happened. While I was too young and didn’t know much when Iraq started, I began figuring things out around 2006, so I didn’t react as harshly then. However, by the time Libya happened, I already knew enough to understand that I live in the Western Capitalist Empire of Evil; my reaction to that war was just like hers.

Nowadays, I don’t react that way. After years of screaming at people and protesting, you become desensitized. After Libya, ISIS in Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine, you start to take it as a given and see it as the “norm.” I no longer react so emotionally to these events, but it is nice to see others going through what I went through a long time ago and finally waking up.

Still, people often fail to see the bigger picture — something Brian Berletic highlighted in his video.

26:3

It’s so simple. I understand why people become obsessed with Israel. They watch Israel brutalizing the Palestinian people and carrying out genocide against them. It is a war crime and a crime against humanity. And it makes these people so angry that they become myopically obsessed with Israel. They think this becomes the center of their universe, their activism, and ultimately their entire world. They cannot see anything else. They do not see the bigger picture.

That’s what I was arguing in my post, which was poorly received and bombarded with negatives. Israel is not in control; it is simply a means to an end. It will be discarded just as Ukraine will be discarded once it stops being useful to America. Israel is useful because it is a fascist, religious ethno-state — a sort of reincarnation of the Nazi Reich, full of people manipulated to the point of becoming sociopaths. America needs vassals populated by people manipulated into sociopathy, and they often weaponize religion to achieve those ends.

That is why we see so much religious rhetoric now and why hate is spread toward Arabs and Muslims. They are trying to turn this into a religious fight of “Good Christians” against “Evil Muslims” — any means necessary to turn people into sociopathic tools to kill others. I saw this coming, which is why I wrote ten or twenty posts defending Muslims and Arabs, trying to dispel this “Clash of Civilizations” bullshit. Posts like this one:

Radical Islam is our self-made, imaginary enemy — the myth of the ‘Clash of Civilizations’ and the War on Terror is really a war on you!

Now we hear "Orange Jesus" cult members talking about how their leader is protecting the West from the "Radical Left" and Islamists. The most incredible thing is that even some of the most educated people spew this nonsense, as they are the ones most easily manipulated by this narrative. Do you really think this Epstein elite class of capitalist oligarchs — who have never stepped foot in a church or followed any rules — actually care about religion? People talk about Epstein being Jewish as if he went to a synagogue, cared what rabbis said, or ate kosher food.

Don't even get me started on the "Jewish genetics" argument, which is complete nonsense. Why do you think Israeli citizens are forbidden from taking genetic heritage tests without a court order? Palestinians, who are being killed by Israelis, are often more closely connected to the Abraham tribes than these so-called Jews. So, in what way are they "Jewish," for heaven's sake? I have had enough of this talk. The problem lies with Zionists, who aren't even Jews. Even that isn't the biggest problem because, as the Iranians correctly say, Israel is the "Little Satan" and America is the "Great Satan." They are correct in this assessment, yet so few people understand it, which pisses me off.

Our lovely capitalist oligarchs in the West — the Epstein elite class — want to turn the entire West into "Israelis" and "Nazis" (like in Ukraine) so that we will be capable of killing other human beings without seeing them as human. I wrote about this before: just as Ukrainians call Russians "Orcs" — which was applauded by our Western elites — it helps dehumanize them and makes it easier to kill them. It's the same as Israelis calling Arabs and Muslims "animals" and "Amalek." To achieve this, they use racial hatred and religious zealotry.

All this talk about "evil, dirty Arabs" spread in the West isn't an accident. They want nothing more than to turn Westerners into sociopaths who see nothing wrong with killing other human beings, even women and children. They have to brainwash us like that if they want us to send our children to fight for them. That is why America is a country where most people in the West believe in literal angels; people like that are like mindless golems who can be turned into killers for our rulers.

It infuriates me when people swallow this nonsense about an "Islamic invasion." They tell me they saw a video of an Imam talking about Jihad and taking over the West. If people can be suppressed, and sites like The Duran can be blocked in Poland, and truth-tellers can be silenced, do you really think they couldn't suppress a few Imams spewing nonsense? They don't suppress those Imams; they suppress people like me. What I am saying is dangerous because it exposes their narrative, while those Imams actually help their narrative by providing a "boogeyman."

We put a founding member of ISIS and Al-Qaeda as leader of Syria, and now we plan to use ISIS against Iran — yet somehow "Islamists" are our enemies? It’s all a massive narrative. We own and control this "McJihad." Anyway, I’ve gone on a rant again. Let me get to the main topic of this post.

The world is a game and moves have been made

Let’s start with a fragment from a video with Brian Berletic.

24:16 

The US creates and uses these proxies all the time, all over the planet, for the exact same purpose: to scapegoat them when things go wrong, to blame them for starting conflicts. The US then has to wade in — they have no choice. They must defend their allies and fight wars that the US wants to appear to have nothing to do with. Plausible deniability.

The US seeks control over the Middle East for a very specific reason. It wants to control its oil—not to take the oil and use it for itself, but specifically to deny it to China. I've shown people for years and years. I've warned about this, covered it, and I've shown this particular report many times. This is from 2018: a maritime oil blockade against China. I have shown people from 2018. They have a map, and they are talking about implementing a distant blockade at the Strait of Malacca, across the South China Sea area, and between the Philippines and Japan.

I've talked about this — how it's not just some paper in 2018 that they wrote. There have been specific steps taken to implement this very plan. In this paper, it talks about the Belt and Road Initiative and specifically the Myanmar-China oil pipeline. And I have shown you, since 2018, articles in US government-funded media talking about US-backed and armed militants in Myanmar attacking that specific pipeline in an attempt to cut it. And the fact that those militants are fighting the central government in hopes of over-throwing it and then abandoning the whole Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure running through Myanmar altogether.

Controlling the oil at the very source in the Middle East allows them to forgo even having to do this. This is still dangerous for the United States. The Chinese military has increasing military capabilities — not just along their coast, but increasingly throughout the South China Sea — specifically because they are aware of these US plans. They're preparing to break the blockade and destroy any US military forces attempting to implement it. So then you just implement it in the Middle East, where China has no military presence. 

I wrote about this in my posts like “The EU is a US colony. IMEC corridor, energy — the world is a cheeseboard; narratives are failing. It is time for naked imperialism.”, “How the world really works: the world as The Grand Chessboard.”, “Ben Norton on Trump’s plan for Gaza and Brian Berletic on U.S. plans for a China blockade: a bigger picture. There cannot be peace — “War is peace.” (My rambling)” and many more. I want to first use one stupid response to my comments as an example of not understanding what is happening.

I wrote this comment: “I have explained how all of this is about creating cordon sanitaires at the intersections of the Middle East and Asia, as well as between Europe and Asia. These buffers are designed to prevent land connections between China  and Russia and the Middle East, primarily to prepare for a sea blockade of China and to stop Europe from integrating with the rest of the Eurasian continent. I’ve argued that the main goal is to make a sea blockade feasible by cutting off the land routes China could use to bypass it. But none of this seemed to matter because I’m just nobody, so no one took me seriously. Now that the mainstream media is saying exactly what I predicted, it’s suddenly a ‘serious’ topic.”

I want to address this absurd response. First:Nobody took you seriously for a very good reason, as your Ignorance of the Geography of China is absolutely astonishing, as it is improbable (probably Impossible) to cut off all the land routes to China.”

If that person had a working brain, he could look at a map and understand that, for example, you only need to control two countries — Iran and Turkey — to cut all land roads between China and the Middle East. But while that person accused me of “Ignorance of the Geography,” I guess he cannot even look at a map with understanding.

Then he wrote: The length of China’s coastline is approximately 14,500 kilometers, and China has thousands of Hypersonic Anti-ship missiles... Therefore, it is impossible for the Judeo-American Empire to successfully carry out 'a sea blockade of China'.”

Does the length of China's coast matter if we block China’s sea access to the Middle East at the source instead of at their coast? Also, while China's anti-ship missiles can stop our surface ships, in what way would they stop our submarines from establishing a sea blockade? I guess if you don’t have a brain and you read "anti-ship missiles," you think it stops all ships and solves all problems. Thinking deeply is too much for someone without a brain.

And of course, that person wrote:Yet again, you embarrassed yourself, Grzegorz Ochman... you had not got a high enough intelligence quotient to attend a University.”

Again, as if the fact I didn’t attend a University has anything to do with the validity of my arguments. While I came to my conclusion on my own, fortunately, Brian Berletic is sourcing his views and points to the 2018 Naval War College paper “A Maritime Oil Blockade Against China—Tactically Tempting but Strategically Flawed.” Brian also pointed out that they didn't take it as proof it cannot be done, but as a blueprint of what is preventing it from working, so they can eliminate those obstacles.

This same person wrote to me that China has 2 million soldiers and can easily invade Iran through Afghanistan. This perfectly represents the stupidity and simplistic analysis which is the problem here.

People write to me about how strong the Chinese army is and how it’s impossible. When I describe what they are planning to do, people try to rebut me as if I were supporting those plans. Yes, China could probably invade Iran through Afghanistan and succeed — so what? In that case, should America do nothing and simply give up its Hegemony? You really think our Western Capitalist Empire of Evil would not burn the world down before giving up its hegemony?

If you have any better plan for stopping China from overcoming America besides establishing a sea blockade and a land cordon sanitaire, let's hear it. I game theory all possibilities, and this one has the highest possibility of success. Saying it may not work without providing alternatives, while ignoring the fact we are talking about sociopaths who would rather burn the world down than give up control, is childish. Saying my analysis is wrong because the plan could fail — without providing an alternative — shows a complete lack of intelligence.

We have two options: attack China and fight it on its territory while it's defending, or create conditions in which China is forced to act offensively outside of its territory. Which of those options has a higher possibility of success? Giving up is not an option for them, so even if both options are bad, they will pick the "less bad" option which is locking China’s access to Middle Eastern resources and forcing them into an offensive.

Why now?

If you understand the underlying logic, global events begin to make sense. Why the actions in Venezuela? Why is the bombing of Nigeria? Both are on the list of top 10 oil producers. But more importantly: Why now?

It is because Russia remains occupied in Ukraine, and we have initiated what I call a "Yevgeny Prigozhin scenario" in China. Consider the internal struggles within China, the purge of their military leadership. You think this is an accident? These internal disruptions are designed to weaken China from within, reducing its ability to assist Iran or intervene in its defense.

To those who argue the timing is poor: would an attack on Iran have a better chance of success a year from now? By then, Russia may have concluded the war in Ukraine, freeing up resources to assist Tehran. By then, China may have suppressed the internal military dissent we’ve engineered. We have strategically tied the hands of both Moscow and Beijing to ensure they are as distracted as possible to prevent them from helping Iran.

If we don't act now, we allow China to stabilize its military and Russia to emerge from Ukraine stronger. Every year, China grows more powerful. The timing of China’s internal strife — occurring just as tensions with Iran peak — is no coincidence. If you want the highest probability of success in Iran, you must strike before the Ukraine conflict ends and while China is fractured.

This isn't a "perfect" option with a 100% success rate. However, you must ask: Is there a better option? Is there a better time? If you rule out the possibility of the West peacefully surrendering its hegemony, you begin to see the necessity of this path. I have analyzed the game theory and the various contingencies; while this path is risky, no other option offers a higher probability of success.

Instead of simply arguing that this plan might fail, provide an alternative for preserving American hegemony and containing China. For our "Western Capitalist Empire of Evil," surrender is not an option. They would sooner risk the end of the world than give up their global standing without a fight. Stop being naive. To say an option is "bad" or "risky" ignores the fact that, for those in power, standing down is a non-starter.

There is no "multipolarity" on the horizon. America will not peacefully retreat from the global stage. When surrender is off the table, the state will always choose the path with the highest chance of success, however slim those chances may be. Understand this: they will risk everything before they give up their hegemony. Stop being children and face the reality of the stakes.

I could elaborate further — for instance, on how everyone was certain of Maduro’s fate in Venezuela, only to see how events actually unfolded. Or I could write about Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel and how that effectively undermined BRICS.

I have long criticized the naive notion that BRICS is one big, harmonious family "singing Kumbaya," and I’ve highlighted its deep internal divisions. I also previously predicted that the defense treaty between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan was never directed at Israel, as many assumed; rather, it was designed to be used against Iran. I suspected a false flag operation in Saudi Arabia, blamed on Tehran which would provide the perfect pretext for Pakistan to intervene.

Lately, however, I lack the motivation to write. I feel defeated. I’m considering simply watching the end of the world in peace and silence. I spend my free time providing this analysis for free, hoping that someone might use this information to exert a positive influence.

But like Brian Berletic, I can point out that the grand strategy is about severing energy supplies to China, yet no one takes it seriously until a "propaganda machine" like the Wall Street Journal or The Guardian write it. If people only value information from "authoritative" sources and refuse to think for themselves, then we are all FUCKED!!! If that is the case, why even try?

I will end it here. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments; I’ve had to leave out a great deal to keep this post from becoming even longer. Thanks to everyone who stuck with me until the end. And, as always…

“In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or the propaganda might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies - the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
In the past most people never got a chance of fully satisfying this appetite. They might long for distractions, but the distractions were not provided. Christmas came but once a year, feasts were "solemn and rare," there were few readers and very little to read, and the nearest approach to a neighborhood movie theater was the parish church, where the performances though frequent, were somewhat monotonous. For conditions even remotely comparable to those now prevailing we must return to imperial Rome, where the populace was kept in good humor by frequent, gratuitous doses of many kinds of entertainment - from poetical dramas to gladiatorial fights, from recitations of Virgil to all-out boxing, from concerts to military reviews and public executions. But even in Rome there was nothing like the non-stop distractions now provided by newspapers and magazines, by radio, television and the cinema. In "Brave New World" non-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of the social and political situation. The other world of religion is different from the other world of entertainment; but they resemble one another in being most decidedly "not of this world." Both are distractions and, if lived in too continuously, both can become, in Marx's phrase "the opium of the people" and so a threat to freedom. Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern themselves effectively by democratic procedures. A society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, not here and now and in their calculable future, but somewhere else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those would manipulate and control it.”

― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

 

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
― Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow

I’ve come to the same conclusion: Helmer & Berletic. So that’s at least 2 of us! Keep up the good work. Sean Foo adds a useful perspective.

Re: “However, now that people see America bombing an elementary school for girls—killing over 100 young girls…”

Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani (secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council) blamed ‘Israeli criminals’ shortly after multiple “Israeli” airstrikes targeted the girls primary school in the city of Minab

He also reported that five separate air raids struck the girls sections of the school at approximately 11:30 a.m., followed hours later by another strike at around 3:40 p.m. that hit a nearby clinic.

Re: “Now, it’s very important for me to point this out because people are going to hear me say it’s the US, it’s not Israel, and they will think that I’m somehow defending Israel”,

Contradictorily, Grzegorz Ochman then goes onto absolutely defend Israel, by laying the full blame on the United States “The US and its proxies are guilty.” (“proxies” — ‘people authorised to act on behalf of another’).

This is your main purpose here on ‘The Duran, Grzegorz Ochman, to run Damage limitation Propaganda for the Jews and Israel.

The United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stated —“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

The 12-day war kicked off when Israel launched surprise strikes against Iranian military and nuclear sites, and the current war on Iran was also started by Israel.

Finally credible casualty figures for Ukraine and Russia
