Hey internet friends. With all of the events taking place in the Middle East, sometimes it can be really difficult
to keep up. The details...all of the details get really confusing especially when we only get bits and pieces and one side of the story from our media. Since the deadline
for Qatar to comply with the Saudi's list of demands ends tomorrow, I figured it
was time to make a video on what the media won't tell you about Qatar.
Since 1971, Qatar has been independent state. And ho boy is it rich. I mean, really rich. According to
this recent article by Bloomberg, "Qatar has been the world’s richest nation based on
a per-capita purchasing power parity basis since 1998." And unlike many one-trick pony
states who rely solely on oil to support their economy, Qatar has attempted to diversify
its economy, recycling some of that income from the oil and gas biz to invest in other
markets, even becoming one of the largest shareholders of real estate in London. London!
Interesting, right? Qatar is also home to American command posts, from which the united
states and its allies basically orchestrate their war on the Islamic State operatives. But
let's get back to the real money maker. Qatar shares its major gas reserves with Iran. This
is a key point because Iran deals in Yuan, or China's dollar, rather than the US-Petrodollar
for oil-related business. Imagine if other countries followed suit, there would be a
rival to the petrodollar, meaning the monopoly the US has asserted over global financial
markets would be compromised. And if the United States is economically compromised, that means
the rising global powers like Russia and China could benefit. We've seen this threat happen
before, with Saddam Hussein in 2000, when he proposed selling Iraqi oil in euros instead
of the american dollar. Reports surfaced in 2003 that stated Iraq made a killing doing
so. Well, until the United States invaded Iraq on the false pretense of weapons of mass
destruction, and consequently, Iraq doesn't sell oil in euros anymore. Nope, back to the
petrodollar. Recently, the United States has been pushing for regime change in Iran, with
both Hillary Clinton and President Trump relaying that Iran is the top sponsor of terrorism,
echoing the sentiments of Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and even Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, who
claim that Iran is getting ready to fire up that nuclear bomb we keep hearing about. Could
one of the contributing factors of the regime change push be tied to the fact that Iran
deals in other currency besides the petrodollar? Fast forward to June 9, 2017 , when Saudi
Arabia alleged that Qatar was sponsoring terrori$m, linking prominent Qatari businessmen, royalty,
and politicians as backers. This claim arrived several weeks after Trump's illuminating visit
to Saudi Arabia (insert globe picture here), and the same day that the United States issued
conflicting statements about Qatar, with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, a former chief executive
of Exxon Mobil, calling for a "calm and thoughtful dialogue" to ease tensions amongst
the sunni muslim states in the persian gulf. Not even an hour later, President Trump commented
that Qatar funded terrori$m at a "very high level", demanding that they needed to quit
it, and join the rest of the non-terrori$t-funding nations, like Saudi Arabia, who, as it was
revealed in Hillary Clintons leaked emails, funded terrori$m alongside Qatar. So why is
Saudi Arabia all of a sudden virtue signaling the entire world, starting a blood-less declaration
of war against Qatar, with a Saudi-led blockade and a list of demands on Qatar. Saudis want
Qatar to shut down Al Jazeera, the state-funded broadcaster, close a Turkish Army base, and
nip those ties with Iran. Qatar rejected these demands, saying 'the world is not governed
by ultimatums'. The deadline for this ultimatum ends tomorrow.
But let's go big-picture here. It's bigger than Qatar-Saudi relations. (PUT UP PIC OF
PIPELINE) Let's zoom out till we see the full chess board, who's trying to take the pawns
like Qatar, and ask ourselves who benefits from war with Qatar, or perhaps most importantly,
who is the biggest loser if Qatar abruptly ends doing business with them?While the tensions
between these middle eastern countries have been longstanding, Qatar shattered any hopes
of an Arab nato by refusing to distance itself with Iran, creating a diplomatic crisis between
Qatar and Saudi Arabia. If we identify Saudi Arabia as the pawn of the United States of
I$rael and its allies in this game, and Qatar being the pawn of the other side, who is behind
Qatar? After the blockade, Turkey sent troops and supplied food to Qatar, which was a big
move on Turkey's behalf, ultimately aligning themselves with Iran, not NATO. And who is
an ally to Iran? Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Venezuela, and you guessed it…Russia. And who is allies
with Russia? China, who buys and sells oil in their own currency, not the petrodollar.
We have here a band of nations not reliant on the petrodollar. If Russia gets the pipeline,
that means the petrodollar loses. Do you see what this is really about now? It's not about
who funds terrorism, that's for sure. If it were about that, there would be more coverage
of Senator Rand Paul's Stop Arming Terrorist's Act, introduced earlier this year, a bill
that prohibits the use of federal agency funds to provide covered assistance to terrorist
organizations like @l-queda and I$IS, or any other associated groups, barring the federal
government from giving terrorist organizations money and weapons. There are zero cosponsors
to the bill, which should tell you everything you need to know. The military contractors,
politicians, and lobbyists all profit from war. Peace will never shatter nations, leaving
no opportunity to profit from the spoils of war. Do you think that if the media broadcast
these events as being about oil and profit, or even alluded to the possibility, would
people still sign up to die in their wars? No, obviously fear is needed in order to rally
the masses behind a cause. A boogeyman needs to be in play. Terrori$m would be a really
effective way to frighten the masses, wouldn't it? Historically, the Saudis have played a
key role in getting the United States into war in the Middle East. It's provable. Seems
to me that this situation with Qatar is just another case of the Saudis doing their master's
bidding. What do you think will happen tomorrow when the Saudi deadline is up? Let me know.
