Liberation from Western narratives

Middle Nation · 13 Apr 2024 · 20:24 · YouTube

So what are the course of

That's the thing that I'm interested in. Like, when you when you talk about the the the Uruguay rounds

and the like the trade agreements, the free trade agreements, the all of these things,

and even the what do you call it? The World Trade Organization, WTO, the what's it called? International Labor Organization, ILO. All of these things. We know perfectly well that that that power doesn't take any of these things particularly seriously except in terms of their the the ability to coerce

weaker entities, weaker states. But they don't feel themselves to be subject to any of these rules. They're

only interested in the implementation of any of the agreements that they've ever signed, in so far as they enable them to enforce rules on everyone else. That that's always the weaker party. The weaker party to an agreement. The agreement only exists for the purpose of having a legal justification for coercion, for coercing them, for forcing them, usually for exploiting them, usually for taking advantage of them. Even though you're a party to the contract as well, but it can never be used against you for some reason.

It can never be used against The US for some reason. I mean, how many how many World Trade Organization rules has The US broken? When have they ever been held accountable for that? You know? So what what I'm interested in isn't the agreements, isn't even like like I said, things like debt slavery, like for example, I've I've encouraged and believe it's a good idea for Muslim countries, for countries in the global south to take advantage of loans, assistance aid and whatnot, and investment and so so on from China.

Because I

know that, China isn't in a position to enforce repayment. That doesn't mean that I

think you should just default, but it means that the, the danger of default won't be held over your head as a method of coercion to make you change your own state policy, your own domestic policy, and how you manage your economy, which is what The US does, which is neoliberalism.

Which is Holding you hostage.

Holding you hostage. China doesn't have the the means to do that. So get your money from China because anyway China has its own problems and and even the window of opportunity for getting money from China is limited. Sir. They have a lot of domestic problems economically.

I mean, you look at what's going on with their property market, for example, they they're they're having a hard time. They'll manage by one way or another, they'll manage. But but the extent to which they have the extent to which they will remain interested in being really active internationally,

it may wane. So get the get the loans, get

the financial incentives, get the get the aid, financial aid, get the investment, get all of that stuff while you can. And you can repay it at your at your leisure. You can repay it as you're able to, because they don't have a means of enforcement. Or anyway their means of enforcement are limited. So the only thing that concerns me about all of these types of things is what are the methods of coercion that we have allowed to be built up by the West.

That they have the like for example, ratings agencies. Everyone should just laugh whenever a ratings agency puts out its report about who's credit worthy and who's not credit worthy. You should laugh because that shouldn't matter, but it matters. And we've we've made that matter to where you you can be held hostage by what the ratings agency is going to say, because then lenders will base their their willingness to lend money, based on what the the ratings agency says. Why?

But we let them have that power. And then and then they can say, if you don't repay an IMF loan or or rather they're not interested even the IMF isn't interested in you paying back the loan. They're interested in purchasing your sovereignty. So if you don't cooperate with the with the selling of your own sovereignty, then they can say, well, you're not gonna have a good rating anymore, a credit rating anymore. And then you're not gonna be eligible for lending from any international institutions anymore.

Which means your economy is gonna shut down. Any development in any, you know, all of this is gonna shut down. These are these are methods of coercion that we've allowed them to build up, that we've allowed them to have. And they are largely based on our agreement, our willingness to recognize that they're legitimate. One of the one of one of the the big tricks that the IMF does is is making it you have to now prioritize repaying the money that we just gave you.

That now has to become the priority, which just defeats the whole purpose of the loan in the first place. You gave us the loan because we're in some kind of a financial need, because we're facing some sort of socio economic crisis or what not. So we need that money in order to be able to serve the needs of our people to to to fix these problems. But now, as soon as you give us the money, we have to prioritize repaying you, which means we have to cut down on all

of our spending that's supposed to help the people. How does that

make any sense at all?

It's predatory.

It's completely predatory. But if we say no we're not going to do that, then they have methods of coercion available. They have methods of enforcement to force you. And we should never have and part of that is, like I said, part of that is from our own willingness to accept the legitimacy of those means. Like for example, the whole argument that you that you you have to have a certain debt to GDP ratio, and you have

to get that down. Why? Why? It's not a household. It's a country.

Okay. Don't you know, they they they use that argument all the time, and

they use that for austerity, to to push austerity. That they try compare a country to a household, or to an individual, that when you're in debt you have to tighten your belt, and you have to cut your expenses and so on and so on. No you don't, you're a country, that's what a house has to do, that's what a household has to do, That's what individuals have to do. Because we don't have we can't print money in our basement. You can print money.

It's a false, as they say, a false equivalency to pretend that a country and a national economy functions the same way as a household budget. It doesn't. It doesn't at all. That's a false comparison. But they convince people to believe that, so then you think, so then countries like say Egypt or Pakistan or Bangladesh or wherever else, they convince them that you're not going to be able to move ahead, you're not going be able to accomplish anything until you get out of debt.

Meanwhile, they have the whole system rigged to make sure that that never happens. It's impossible for you to get out of debt. Because also they they don't want you to get out of debt. And they want you to believe that that the only way for you to get out of slavery is to get out of debt, instead of just saying my debt doesn't really matter.

If you can just say my debt doesn't really matter, then you're not in then you're not going to be in debt slavery. But so you have to see what are the methods of coercion that are available to the West that make that debt matter. What can they do to force you? And those are the

things that you should focus on, not about any agreements and and and you know, even even about patents and so on. What is the what what like say, like the thing about the the patents on end products. So that by if you if you read if you create a product by a completely different process than what they have, say in America, say in pharmaceuticals, in medicine. Say you you create something that does the same thing, but you you achieved that, you you created that through a completely different process than Pfizer did. Mhmm.

You're still you're not allowed to sell it. Yeah. Because they have a patent on the final product, even if you created a completely different way. Okay. You say so, but I've decided I'm going to do that anyway.

So what are you going to do? That's the only thing that you have to ask. What can they do to actually enforce that? Because at a certain point, if you disobey their rules, and they don't have a way to enforce it, they'll change the rules.

Right.

Because there's no other way to do it. It's just like just like

what I was talking about in the livestream. You go over and tell China, stop being so successful

in manufacturing, in electric vehicles, and in in whatever else, because not fair, we can't keep up, so stop. And China says, we're not going to do that. We're gonna continue. And then what do you do? You have nothing.

Yeah. They're gonna produce yeah. China's gonna produce a speed trains.

Yeah. You have nothing to do. No. So you have to change your rules. You have to change your demands.

When you

don't have any way to enforce those demands, you have to change them.

Because you don't have any way

to to to coerce. So the only

thing that anyone ever has to be interested in is looking at what methods of coercion are available to the one who's making demands of you. That's all. America has become so disconnected from reality. Because they're successful domestically at convincing people that narrative is reality. That they really think that they can change reality via pushing a narrative.

So they've been pushing the narrative for years now. Belt and Road is finished. China's over. Belt and road is finished. You can keep telling yourself that.

No one believes you. It's just like what they're doing now with Iran. Iran's gonna attack. Iran's gonna attack. Iran's gonna attack Israel.

Any minute now. Any minute there's gonna be a massive unprecedented attack on the territory of of Israel, on Israel proper. Iran has not said they're gonna do it, but you keep saying, and you're you're you're getting you're you're getting so far ahead of it, that now even you have The US saying, we've told Israel to talk to us before they retaliate against the retaliation

Yeah.

By Iran, that's for the retaliation. You know, you have to talk to us before you retaliate against the retaliation that hasn't happened yet. Yeah. Because we're just sure it's gonna happen. Mhmm.

Like, you're just pushing this narrative. And like I said in the in the live stream, if you are unfortunate enough that you're getting your news just from the West and from English language media, and mainstream English language media, then you'd be forgiven for for just hiding under your bed because you think that World War three is about to break out between Iran and Israel. Meanwhile, the rest of the world understands, everyone understands that this is just a trap by Israel to try to get Iran to do that. So that they can launch a war. Every everyone knows that but you.

And you think that everyone is stupid. And you think that Iran is stupid. And you think that the whole Middle East is stupid. And and and now you're you're going around and you're you're going around and telling in in your headlines that America is asking the Gulf countries, they're asking China, they're asking Russia to talk to Iran, to talk some sense into Iran. So that what?

When Iran doesn't retaliate, you can pretend that that's because of your diplomatic pressure? I mean, you joking? Everyone in the world knows that you're trying to provoke a war. Everyone knows that you're the ones trying to provoke a war. You you're you're you're provoking, you know, like you can't stop talking about this imagined devastating, you know, apocalypse level attack that Iran is just about to attack.

Launch against Israel. You you can't stop talking about it, And then you wanna pretend like you're trying to tell all of Iran's allies. Talk some sense into them.

Yeah.

Hold them back. What? Meanwhile, everyone is telling you when you attack Iran because we know what you're doing.

Yeah.

When you attack Iran, you don't get to use our airspace

Mhmm.

And you don't even get to use the bases that you have in our countries.

Take note of that.

That includes the Khaleed. Yeah. That includes The Gulf. That includes Saudi Arabia. That includes UAE.

That includes Qatar. Everyone thinks by the way Qatar is is like the one that's like the most anti West or whatever. They have the most bases.

Okay? Reality check. But all of them

are saying, you don't get to use your bases if you're gonna attack it on. Don't. Not from here. Not on our watch. Not

on our watch.

And Turkey said you can't use our airspace. So no one no one is believing your narrative but you people. No one believes it at all. They always try to push that. They think that if if if we believe it hard enough, when we say it enough times, then it becomes true.

So for those of us

But no one believes you. It's very important to understand about them. Yeah. As and it's very very true about the Democrats. It's all it's true about all of them, but it's very true about the Democrats.

It's very true about the Biden administration, specifically, that they really think there is nothing. Nothing exists except narrative. That's all that exists is narrative. There's no such thing as reality

And truth.

At all and truth. There is only narrative. So that gives you power. Everyone that gives everyone power. Because the only way that the that America can gauge whether or not their narrative is successful is if people in the media, social media, if the population is echoing the narrative.

And so no one is echoing your narrative on Gaza. No one. No one is echoing the American narrative on Gaza. You've lost the narrative on that one. And there that's when you start to see them changing their approach.

Because they all they care they don't care about reality as I said, they just care about the success of the narrative. You've seen now that your narrative has failed. And you know the biggest, the biggest, obviously the biggest factor in that is the extent to which it is completely contradictory to reality itself. But the other factor is that we have access to reality. You know, it it and not just because we live in reality, but because social media gives people access to reality.

We can see what's happening in Gaza. You know? And then the only thing, then the only other thing that they have to their advantage, and this is a very dangerous thing really, is short memory.

Yeah.

The population having a short memory, and not knowing context. That's why I talk about that all the time. How important it is to understand the context. Because otherwise you might actually believe that a strike is imminent from Iran. You might actually believe that.

But if you don't have the context, you'll know it's almost unthinkable that

that's going to happen. You know, it's completely unrealistic to think

that that's going to happen. And so you should be able And it's the same thing like with the with the with this false claim about Indonesia normalizing. If you have no context, and you and you're generally speaking your perception of reality is determined by western narratives.

No hatred for any Muslims.

Well, I mean, there's that. But even without that

Yeah.

You would think

there would be you wouldn't think there's a reason for you to doubt that.

No. You

know, if you have no context. And part of it part part of the context of that is also knowing again what the source of the news was in the first place. To to to be able to identify well, mean, because sometimes the the you know, even in your own personal life, most people you're able to determine the veracity of something that is being said, because you know who's saying it.

Yes.

There's someone who's That's

a good point.

Yeah. There's someone who's trustworthy and so you believe them, because they've been proven in the past to be trustworthy and to tell the truth. But if you haven't, if you don't have for example a history of following these events, and following the region, then you don't know that this source of news, so called, is immediately dismissible. Just like you should be able to know that there are certain people, certain Muslim figures online, who have spread Zionist propaganda and Zionist lies over the last six months. And if you followed that, and also followed the debunking of the lies and the propaganda that they have been active in spreading, then you should be able to know, okay, this is not a trustworthy individual.

So everything, anything and everything that they say can be dismissed out of hand. But until you've had that experience, you might just believe them, Because they they can sound very convincing, they can sound very informative, and they're very emotive. So it stirs up, you know, all of your feelings. But if you if you're but but this is here again is the problem of the short attention span. Because you might follow what they're saying, and the claims that they're making, and the allegations that they're making, and the accusations that they're making.

And then you don't follow it long enough to know that those have been debunked. You don't see the follow-up story that debunks it. It never gets the same attention as the original allegation or accusation.

Yeah. So if you have a short attention span, you'll never

know that it was proven wrong. And then you'll then you'll be, you know, embarrassing yourself by continuing to repeat lies that have been debunked months ago. You know? And then and then, it you repeating six month old lies that were debunked six months ago. Yeah.

Now, it becomes a new allegation and a whole new audience and it has to be debunked all over again. Yeah.

Was I was taking it back myself. Mhmm. Livestream this morning that I forgot about the

The claim about dua?

Yeah. In the That

you can't make dua?

Yeah. In Makkah?

I mean, mainly because because I have a friend in Makkah who told me it isn't the case.

Yeah.

You know? Saudi from Makkah.

Well, let me see. This is an important fact, actually. This is an important fact. I know and you know that this is not true because we know people there.

Yeah.

We know people who live there, and we know people who go there. And we have brothers and friends and so on who made who showed us clips from The Kaaba, and from Masjid Al Nabawi during the Khutbah at Tarawi. We know people who go there, and we know people who live there. So we have some kind of a connection, which just shows how disconnected you are, that you just believe this without knowing anything, and you have no way way to check because you're disconnected. You've never been to the Kaaba.

Yeah. You're someone who's never made Hajj, you've never made Umrah, you know, you've never been to the you've never been to Saudi Arabia, you've never been to Mecca, you've never been to Medina, you've probably never been

to The Gulf. But you're spouting off like you know things.

You have no experience. And you but but then you're participating in the crafting of a Zionist narrative. And the only way that you can do that is either because you are inexperienced, or you are ignorant, or you are malicious.
