the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

globinfo freexchange In brief:   - Further blow on US Dollar hegemony.   - Further critical damage to NATO coherence.   - Significant damage of the US reliability among the Gulf client states and other US allies beyond.   - Significant damage of the Western imperialist architecture in the Middle East through the destruction of many US military bases.   - Opportunity for the Sino-Russian alliance to expand influence in the Middle East, as already appears far more reliable than the US-Europe-Israel alliance.   - Significant blow on the Zionist project for "greater Israel". And this is only a short list of the consequences on US global hegemony as a result of Trump's fatal mistake to be trapped in Iran.

Geopolitical Economy Report   The US-Israeli war on Iran is transforming the geopolitical order, and could even unleash a global economic crisis. The conflict has caused the largest oil shock in history, disrupting markets and driving up fuel and food prices. To better understand the implications for the world, Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton interviewed economist Michael Hudson, who discussed how Iran is challenging US dollar dominance and undermining Washington’s control over the global oil industry, which has been a key pillar of the USA's foreign policy.  

As the United States and Israel prepared to go to war with Iran, the head of Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service, went to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan.    Within days of the war’s beginning, said David Barnea, the Mossad chief, his service would likely be able to galvanize the Iranian opposition — igniting riots and other acts of rebellion that could even lead to the collapse of Iran’s government. Mr. Barnea also presented the proposal to senior Trump administration officials during a visit to Washington in mid-January.    Mr. Netanyahu adopted the plan. Despite doubts about its viability among senior American officials and some officials in other Israeli intelligence agencies, both he and President Trump seemed to embrace an optimistic outlook. Killing Iran’s leaders at the outset of the conflict, followed by a series of intelligence operations intended to encourage regime change, they thought, could lead to a mass uprising that might brin...

Forget the Missiles. Iran Just Fired the Shot That Could Actually Break the West   European Business Magazine Part 3 - The Strait as a Financial Weapon The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since March 1, following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that included the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iranian forces declared the Strait closed on March 4, threatening and carrying out attacks on ships attempting to transit. The disruption is not marginal — approximately 20% of global oil supplies normally transit the waterway, and Brent crude has surged from around $70 to over $110 per barrel since the conflict began. At least 16 oil tankers, cargo ships and other vessels have been attacked in and around the Strait, the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman in the two weeks since the war began. War-risk insurance through the strait has become effectively prohibitive for most commercial operators.   Trump threatened to attack Iran’s Kharg Island oil infrastructure if Ir...

US leaders anticipated a walkover. Now they’re embroiled in a conflict that could hasten the end of US economic dominance  by Larry Elliott   Nobody gave the Boers a prayer when the war in South Africa began in 1899. It was farmers ranged against the might of the British empire, and the expectation was that resistance would quickly crumble. Eventually, might did prevail. Britain won the Boer war, but it was a hollow victory that took the best part of three years to achieve and came at a high cost. The blow to British prestige – coming at a time when its global hegemony was under threat from fast-growing countries such as the US – was severe. Far from highlighting the extent of Britain’s power, it exposed its limitations. A century and a quarter later, the US risks being embroiled in its equivalent of the Boer war. What should have been a walkover threatens to become a prolonged conflict. The Iranians are using guerrilla tactics, just as the Boers did, with much success. There ...

The Electronic Intifada   Jon Elmer, contributing editor, covers week four of the war, including the latest on the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s missile, drone and air defense operations and Hizballah’s battle against Israel's attempt to occupy south Lebanon.  

Geopolitical Economy Report   The war on Iran is part of a larger attempt by the US empire to reverse the decline of Western hegemony and recolonize the Global South. After invading Venezuela, Donald Trump wants to "take" Cuba, Greenland, and Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel is annexing the West Bank and colonizing southern Lebanon. Ben Norton explains the imperialist plan.

The Chris Hedges YouTube Channel    

The Jimmy Dore Show   Trump administration resignee and whistleblower Joe Kent recently appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to provide a devastating explanation of the government's psychological warfare strategy: withhold obvious information (like Butler shooting surveillance tapes), let the internet go "feral" with speculation, then discredit everyone asking questions as "crazy conspiracy theorists"—effectively burying legitimate inquiries. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger connect this to the Charlie Kirk investigation being blocked, the Butler shooting cover-up, and Trump's refusal to investigate his own assassination attempt, concluding Trump was "in on it" because anyone who truly wanted answers would demand them. Dore notes the irony that the "craziest conspiracy theory" is now the official lone-nut narrative, which defies physics and common sense, while those pointing out obvious evidence suppression are smeared as insa...

Forget the Missiles. Iran Just Fired the Shot That Could Actually Break the West   European Business Magazine Part 2 - The Architecture of American Financial Power To understand why the yuan condition matters, it is necessary to understand what the petrodollar system actually is. Born from the Nixon shock of 1971 and formalised in 1974, the arrangement under which Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf agreed to denominate all oil sales in US dollars created a self-reinforcing loop that has governed global finance ever since. Because oil — the world’s most traded commodity — must be purchased in dollars, every nation that imports energy must first acquire dollars. Every central bank holds dollar reserves for precisely this reason. The dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency is not an abstract achievement; it flows directly and mechanically from oil. Iran’s proposal would extend the yuan exception to the world’s single most critical maritime chokepoint. Source, links: htt...
