when Julius Caesar is massacring the Gauls Egypt is already 4 000 years old

26:53 right Egypt had a civil war that won 170 years

26:59 the United States is what 240 230 something depending on do you start it with

27:04 Declaration of Independence or the moment the Constitution went into effect I've never figured out which one I want

27:09 one of those two is right right I mean Egypt just has a sneeze

27:15 that lasted almost as long as the United States has been around so so that's another weirdness about the

27:23 conversation that we're going to have tonight is I I need you to reframe the way you think about this

27:30 that this civilization that was birthed in the banks of the Tigris the Euphrates and the Nile can't possibly have stopped

27:38 being there but if you've been listening to the news lately it gets really interesting

27:44 because when Russia invaded Ukraine all I hear now is Russia almost accepted

27:50 Western culture Russia almost accepted Western democracy the West is supporting

27:57 Ukraine West West West it's the old conversation

28:03 from the Cold War reborn again so we got to go back a little bit here before the

28:10 Cold War to understand some terminology when the English were Conquering the world when the English were making the

28:16 world England they didn't finish obviously they didn't finish they got 40 percent done and and they ran out of

28:22 steam but 40 percent is amazing think about it that tiny itty bitty teeny weeny little

28:30 Island where they boil their steak and Fry their tomatoes

28:35 where it's always raining somehow conquered 40 of the planet

28:42 I still can't wrap my mind around it they only ruled it for 200 years but still

28:48 that's I don't know I don't even know what to make of that that's talent there was Talent there I'm

28:54 not denying the talent just incredible talent because a lot of it wasn't violence right the English would plant a

29:00 flag and the Indians are looking at it going what is that it's a flag what does it do it means we conquered you and the unions

29:07 are like oh crap you mean if we had gotten to your tiny little island and planted the Indian flag we would have

29:13 conquered you in the English were like yep that's how this works we we got you so there was a little bit of Psych psyching

29:20 him out right that was also going on so

29:25 when the English had done this they decided that they needed to make this

29:32 idea of the East there needed to be this concept of the East the other

29:39 the the nefarious the sneaky the mysterious the strange and so they came

29:47 up with this idea of making the East being basically Asia and and then going

29:54 from there now the Romans had this a little bit and the Greeks had this a little bit so it wasn't that the English

30:00 made it up completely from their own minds for The Rook for the Greeks it was the Persians for the Romans it was still

30:07 the Persians and so the English kind of had oh yeah

30:12 this worked really well for the Greeks and the Romans we want to have this for ourselves so what they did was they

30:19 named the far end of Asia the Far East

30:24 they took the southern middle part of Asia and they called it the Middle East and then they took the Western end of

30:31 Asia and they called it the near East because it was near Europe

30:37 in other words what we call the Middle East was the near East what we call South Asia was the the Middle East the

30:45 near East is what we call the Middle East today where we call South Asia today was the Middle East

30:51 but then the Cold War started and we went we Americans went

30:57 huh we can keep this East-West thing going but now we need the Russians to be the

31:03 East because the East is evil and dangerous and exotic strange

31:11 so we'll make the Russians the new near East and we'll do the Eastern Bloc

31:17 States as the new near East but if that's the near East the then the Middle East can't be the near East anymore so

31:24 we renamed the near East the Middle East but then we needed a new name for the

31:29 old Middle East so we named it South Asia in our new naming scheme the Eastern

31:36 Bloc States and the Soviet Union it never caught nobody started calling that the near East but they did call it the

31:42 East and the Eastern Bloc in other words it partially worked it worked well enough it got what they wanted and now

31:50 in a fact what they had done was they had successfully divorced East Germany

31:55 East from Western civilization in the minds of people

32:01 but this isn't the first time that they divorced that somebody has divorced Western Civilization from the minds of

32:07 people we had already done it to Egypt and Iraq

32:12 Ryan I just got through showing you that the West was founded in Egypt and Iraq and yet somehow we believe it's not in

32:18 the West in fact even middle easterners will say it's not in the West

32:24 it's part of everybody's understanding of the world now and this is of course at the heart of

32:30 orientalism because the goal is to make it seem that the East is irrational

32:37 it's inefficient it's it's authoritarian and the West is democratic

32:44 and liberated and it everybody's happy it's all about ice cream

32:50 we build it into everything so I don't know if you've ever watched The Man in the high tower it's probably

32:57 not worth watching uh the first season is the first season was really really amazing but then after that it kind of

33:02 falls apart a little bit and you could tell they just didn't know where to go but it's about what would have happened

33:07 if Japan and Germany had won World War II and so it's really weird watching Americans walking around in SS uniforms

33:15 you know Goose stepping around it's just like oh God

33:21 so the first season the whole time you keep thinking oh this is horrific well not to ruin the story at any point for

33:28 you in case you haven't seen it but at one point there is a good Japanese right that's a fun Trope good Japanese bad

33:35 Japanese uh right we do this all the time good good Native American bad Native American yeah that's how we count

33:41 though it's Downton Abbey everybody upstairs is wonderful some of the people

33:47 downstairs are wonderful but some of the people downstairs are not wonderful because we all know there are good Lower

33:53 Class People yeah they're scum lower class people but upper class people are all wonderful

33:58 because the guy who wrote Downton Abbey of course is a member of the nobility and so it's a giant propaganda piece

34:04 uh just just remember also he villainizes gay people which is

34:09 interesting and Americans like this show so much um so

34:17 um the I've lost my train of thought can

34:23 you edit this the theories Middle East thing

34:30 and then why did I get into Downton Abbey

34:37 oh I know it was it was the the good Japanese the bad Japanese there we go so

34:43 okay so there's a there's a there's this good Japanese guy and he's trying to

34:48 figure out the mess that they're in because the Japanese are controlling California and they can barely hold on

34:54 to it things are falling apart and they know that the Nazis are coming for them because right of course they are they're

35:00 just of course that why would you make it ever anything with the Nazis they're eventually going to come for you

35:07 they went for each other right the Nazis spent a huge chunk of their time killing each other trying to move up in rank

35:13 so this Japanese guy I'm trying not to ruin this but there's a scene where he figures out what would have happened

35:20 if Japan and Germany hadn't conquered the United States and what he sees is children licking ice

35:28 cream and I thought really that's what you went to that was the big moment the big

35:34 breakthrough moment there's balloons and there's children licking ice cream that's the difference that's the

35:40 quantitative that was the qualitative difference that you saw between Nazism and what we have surely there's

35:46 something more haha so now I need to get into the

35:52 conversation of identity because a part of all of this is identity so a

35:59 few years ago I had a conversation with a Christian Egyptian woman a Coptic woman

36:05 and she said I'm an easterner and we in the east

36:11 and I was like wow here we go she's saying I'm an easterner

36:16 she's embraced this idea so now we need to get into identity we do something really interesting with

36:23 identity identity is complicated and that's part of this problem because it's nested in

36:31 the concept of Western Civilization so in other words when I talk about Western Civilization

36:38 I can't help but also then talk about identity because it plays such a massive


mercy of that food and so you need to have Diversified crops so one of the things the Arabs did was they went

1:49:59 around looking for new things to grow and they're the guys who start the coffee industry

1:50:05 they take these beans that they find in Ethiopia that they realize they can do something with and they bring them to

1:50:12 Yemen and they plant them in the province of Yemen named mocha

1:50:18 and start the coffee industry they also realize you can pack fresh

1:50:24 food on a ship and send it to the other side of Asia all you had to

1:50:30 do is pack it full of ice and so they were sending fresh food to China and India by packing ships full of

1:50:37 ice they had Plumbing and by Plumbing I mean fresh water was

1:50:44 pumped in sewage water was pumped out they invented water wheels to make the

1:50:50 pumping work so you could just use the power of a river to run your pump they lit up their streets at night

1:51:01 so in other words if you walk down the streets of Baghdad a thousand years ago

1:51:08 as you're walking down that street at night there were oil lamps in other words if I took a satellite

1:51:17 and I put it in orbit around the Earth a thousand years ago and I stuck it so it was always at night so I'd see the whole

1:51:23 planet at night photographed it the whole planet's pitch dark except for everything from Iraq to

1:51:33 Pakistan the night the cities twinkled like they do now

1:51:41 haitham speculated that all objects in the universe exerted gravity

1:51:47 I don't know how you observe that I mean I get that the floor is exerting

1:51:53 gravity over me but he said all objects how's the wall pulling me I don't experience that he also said light has a

1:52:01 finite speed and it travels in waves his book of Optics was 10 21 this was a

1:52:08 thousand and one years ago they dabbled in psychology

1:52:17 comes along says it's okay to read history but you

1:52:24 need to be a skeptic historians lie don't believe everything you read

1:52:31 don't read Herodotus and take him at his word because he's a liar we we need to think about what he's

1:52:38 saying and ask why is he saying what he's saying he also says we should have a systematic

1:52:45 study of politics and sociology and demographics

1:52:51 in other words he's the inventor of the social sciences including their little separate categories

1:52:57 in other words he's the founder of political science

1:53:03 maimonides is a Jewish Arab from Spain

1:53:09 he'll laments the death of Hebrew so Hebrew died harder than Latin died I

1:53:16 can learn Latin I can learn the vocabulary I can learn the grammar and I can have a conversation with you when

1:53:22 Hebrew died they lost a lot of vocabulary and they lost the grammar system they

1:53:28 kind of vaguely knew what the grammar system ought to look like because they had holy texts but it wasn't enough it

1:53:35 wasn't enough to reconstruct the language it wasn't enough to learn it and speak it so here's what maimonides did he

1:53:41 realized that Hebrew and Arabic were very close cousins maybe brother and

1:53:47 sister actually so he took Arabic grammar he studied it until he understood it he took Arabic

1:53:53 grammar he took he took the Hebrew vocabulary that they had from the holy text he plugged it in and then whenever

1:54:00 he was missing a word he just grabbed the Arabic word and stuck it in and he brought Hebrew back

1:54:08 which is unbelievable name another language that was

1:54:13 resurrected from death I don't know one languages die that's it

1:54:18 they're finished except for Hebrew that's that time period

1:54:27 so notice the dates though we are told that the Dark Ages start

1:54:32 when Rome falls on September 476 A.D I told you at the beginning rum didn't

1:54:37 fall that day it fell May 29 1453. how do I know

1:54:43 on that date in September in 476 all that happened was Romulus Augustus the

1:54:50 Western Roman Emperor took off his purple robes stuck it in a box with a note sent it to Emperor Xeno the Eastern

1:54:57 Roman Emperor and said there's no reason for two Emperors let's just do one you're it I abdicate

1:55:04 that's not the same as Rome fell on May 29 1453

1:55:10 ottoman soldiers entered Constantinople the Roman capital and captured it

1:55:18 and Rome ceased to own any real estate that's when a state Falls is when it

1:55:24 doesn't own real estate that's how I know Rome didn't fall that moment

1:55:30 but what we are told is that the Dark Ages the Middle Ages the

1:55:35 medieval period starts with the fall of Rome in 476 and doesn't end until

1:55:42 sometime around 1492 that it lasts a thousand years there's a thousand years

1:55:47 without knowledge but I just showed you that there was actually extraordinary developments that were taking place

1:55:54 including calculus 600 years before Newton ibnel haitham stated Newton's

1:56:00 first law of motion 600 years before Newton he he actually described Kepler's

1:56:06 first law of planetary motion 500 years before Kepler

1:56:15 one I was working on my gr my graduate degree I started to get into Heidegger who is

1:56:23 very controversial but that doesn't mean you throw the baby out with a bath water he was a Nazi for 11 months bad

1:56:29 Heidegger bad he denounced the Nazi party after 11 months and said you're all a bunch of

1:56:35 charlatans I reject you and then he spent the rest of World War II as an outcast but still that 11 months were

1:56:42 gross uh he got his Professor fired and then took his job his Professor was that

1:56:47 guy named hussarel he was Jewish I I'm doing this because I just don't want anybody to be confused about why I'm

1:56:52 reading hiding her I'm reading Heidegger and I realized something in his bibliography

1:57:00 he's quoting ibnel haitham and ibna and at the time I didn't know who they

1:57:05 were so I went who are these guys when he was quoting IBN the reason he

1:57:12 was quoting him is because his teacher whose sorrow who by the way was brilliant he shouldn't have fired him

1:57:18 this is ugly who sorrow had taken Hegel and IBN Cena and merged them and created

1:57:25 a new branch of philosophy called phenomenology so when Heidegger was taking his thing

1:57:31 on being in time to the next level he was building off of that and then of course

1:57:40 um that became the moment when philosophy in the world completely changed

1:57:47 everybody who hates Heidegger is still a heidogarian There's No Going Back Heidegger changed philosophy grabbed it

1:57:54 he shook it he flipped it upside down and he redid it but part of its inspiration for this was

1:58:01 that conversation I had with you earlier about IBN Cena and the nature of the universe he took and built on that

1:58:10 and then changed philosophy forever

1:58:15 so even though the guy was a thousand-year-old thinker he was still playing a major role a hundred years ago

1:58:22 and changing the way we do philosophy in other words there's no separation

1:58:27 between any of this it's all connected together one last thing

1:58:33 so the Arabs had idiomatically translated Aristotle into Arabic

1:58:39 when the Spanish were conquering Spain from the Muslims they kept encountering

1:58:44 libraries the popes kept issuing edicts to burn all the books

1:58:50 just like when they had burnt The Great Library and just when they shut down the Academy of Athens they wanted to

1:58:55 continue this the thinking went you only need one book it's the Bible why are we doing the science stuff we don't need this what we

1:59:02 need to do is Purge the libraries of all these books that make me feel uncomfortable oh no that's now oh wait no that was then too it's so confusing

1:59:10 how nothing changes

1:59:15 we don't learn well the monks who were set us who were

1:59:21 ordered to destroy the books were the benedictines and the Dominican monks the benedictines and the Dominican monks

1:59:27 didn't obey the order what they did was they dug giant

1:59:34 underground libraries beneath their monasteries when they would show up to the place with the Muslim library that

1:59:41 they had to burn they would read they would have a guy read they had a guy who would stand here and

1:59:47 they had the book they would turn the book so it was facing him so he could read it he was a human card catalog he

1:59:53 knew the list the names of all the books they had in their secret underground Library so as you would walk by he'd

1:59:58 read it if he recognized the book he'd give you one signal and you'd dump it in a pile in the middle of the town

2:00:04 he give if he didn't recognize it he'd give you another signal and you'd walk over to a cart where they had a hidden

2:00:10 panel and you'd Slide the book into that and then you'd walk back and you'd go grab another book

2:00:16 and then he'd carry it so that that guy could read it and oh that one goes in this pile and then afterwards they'd set

2:00:23 that pile on fire so they could show everybody they were burning the books and then they'd sneak the other books

2:00:29 into their underground Library where they were busy translating it from

2:00:35 Arabic into ancient Greek and Latin and that's how we have Plato and

2:00:41 Aristotle we would have lost it all because the

2:00:46 Christians were going around burning everything what happened that was not only did the

2:00:52 Benedictine and the Dominican monks have a second second thoughts about this and

2:00:58 refused to follow their orders it's good to not follow orders sometimes

2:01:04 but the Italians went you know what I miss the good old days when we had science

2:01:11 and math and philosophy why don't we do that again and sometime around 1300

2:01:18 they do the Renaissance 1300 the Crusades end in 1291.

2:01:24 after the Crusaders start coming back they go you know what we saw when we were there murdering all those Muslims

2:01:30 and Jews they had indoor plumbing and Medicine

2:01:36 and crop rotation they're talking about things have gravity

2:01:43 and that light has a finite speed and that the Universe originates from a

2:01:49 point of information and the Italians go oh wow that's so

2:01:56 cool let's do that here

2:02:02 isn't that crazy

productivity is good

3:04 but when the more becomes the definition

3:06 then that's a problem I want more done

3:09 for me with as little effort on my part

3:11 as possible of course we want to make

3:14 use of tools for benefit but what

3:16 happens when I don't know how to do for

3:18 myself anything anymore because I've

3:20 been focused on the production of more

3:23 and more and more and more and So

3:25 eventually in the name of productivity

3:27 you end up eliminating the purpose of

3:29 your own existence altogether if that's

3:31 all that you exist for

3:33 more and more and more and more and

3:35 subhanallah you think about the

3:36 emptiness you've been destroyed by this

3:38 pursuit of abundance you're not happy

3:40 not as individuals or societies despite

3:43 your ability to seemingly do more gain

3:46 more enjoy more because that's not the

3:49 void that Allah has put in your human

3:51 heart that can only be filled with tawheed


where people memorize the Quran because

9:57 the Quran is not to be stored in our

9:59 hearts and our minds where knowledge

10:01 acquisition is through that proper

10:03 transfer and so as Muslims we look at

10:07 how Allah

10:09 rewards us for the effort itself and so

10:12 when people talk about resisting a

10:14 culture of dependence so you have to get

10:16 into Boy Scouts and go out and know how

10:18 to do things for yourself

10:20 and they talk about it purely from a

10:22 worldly framework we look at it from the

10:24 incentive as well from the Hereafter

10:26 incentive as well that we love to do for

10:29 the sake of Allah and we understand that

10:32 the process itself is rewardable and

10:35 that Allah will bless us for every

10:38 moment that we struggle in his path not

10:41 incurring unnecessary hardship but still

10:44 doing the Deeds that are necessary for

10:46 our salvation and finding joy in

10:49 everything that we do for the sake of

10:51 Allah so the scholars mentioned here

10:54 this ibadah

10:55 of swimming this ibadah of

10:59 horseback riding this ibada of archery

11:01 this ibadah this act of worship of

11:04 taking care of yourself of knowing how

11:06 to do and knowing how to acquire all so

11:09 that you can use those things for the

11:11 benefit

11:12 of mankind and for the sake of Allah

11:14 so clearly when we talk about this from

11:17 an ethical perspective

11:18 dear brothers and sisters do not

11:21 substitute ajim for convenience always

11:25 sometimes you need to do these things so

11:28 that you can find the reward from Allah

11:31 and that's going to give us the

11:34 spiritual resilience and who knows you

11:36 know when you read about the day of

11:37 judgments and the signs of the day of

11:39 judgment

11:39 and you read about the way that things

11:42 are reduced back to

11:44 a very rudimentary way of living that

11:46 the technologies that people have

11:48 developed fail them and ultimately

11:50 people go back to their fundamentals it

11:54 may be that this spiritual resilience

11:56 that Allah has put inside of us as

11:57 Muslims in our ummah that we still

12:00 insist on doing the manual things for

12:02 the sake of Allah actually gives us a

12:04 trajectory of success in the future

12:07 while still learning The Beneficial

12:09 Technologies and finding ways to put

12:11 guardrails on them and develop

12:13 Insha'Allah our future with real because

12:16 we are an ummah of literacy and

12:17 illiteracy at the same time

12:19 where in ummah that promotes literacy

12:22 that promotes knowledge but also finds

12:25 benefit in each and every single person

12:27 and in each and every single deed that

12:29 is done for the sake of Allah and I'm

12:32 gonna end with two things here

12:33 Insha'Allah as well when we're talking

12:34 about Ai and we're talking about robots

12:37 and you're seeing these videos of things

12:39 that are dancing around in in these

12:42 factories that are so much Superior are

12:45 so much more Superior seem Superior to

12:47 human beings so let me actually put this

12:49 out there the world is not going to end

12:51 by robots

12:52 as Muslims we believe in Allah as the

12:56 prophet saws gave it to us the stages of

12:58 the unfolding of the day of judgment and

13:01 so the day of judgment will come as

13:03 Allah

13:06 and so all of these signs that happen

13:08 will still come to pass

13:10 but a lot can happen from now until then

13:14 and so we have to have that constant

13:16 ethical framework to where we're

13:18 approaching these things and saying how

13:19 do I make the most of the situation and

13:21 how do I insist on still being a human

13:23 being in this world as it is today so

13:27 insisting upon righteousness and I I

13:29 don't believe for a moment that the job

13:32 is a robot but I do believe that

13:35 will use all forms of deception that are

13:38 available to him and Allah knows what

13:40 tactics of deception are going to be

13:42 available to him at the time but Allah

13:44 has given us something to ground

13:46 ourselves

13:48 and the last thing I'll say here is your

13:50 lord is precise

13:52 your lord is precise subhanallah was

13:54 reflecting on how these permanent values

13:57 exist in the Quran even with worlds that

14:00 are so unfamiliar

14:02 to the companions of the prophet

14:03 sallallahu alaihi wasallam

14:05 worlds that are so unfamiliar

14:07 you know one of the greatest fears that

14:09 they're talking about with this

14:10 technology

14:11 is fake news

14:13 you can impose voices on people you

14:16 could literally take a person and make

14:17 them say something that they're not

14:19 saying at all and so bad faith actors

14:22 are going to use these Technologies to

14:25 promote more chaos more turmoil and even

14:27 the psychological effect even if you

14:29 know that what you're looking at is not

14:31 real but even the psychological effect

14:33 of seeing a trusted person saying

14:35 something so horrible of seeing images

14:37 and videos put together it erodes you

14:39 psychologically and emotionally and

14:41 spiritually

14:42 and you think about what that is even

14:44 today subhanallah even today the

14:46 deception that exists

14:48 right of the fake news industry outside

14:51 of the Muslim Community and inside the

14:52 Muslim Community putting images out of

14:54 context words out of context pasting

14:56 videos and words so that you can create

14:58 things what does Allah say

15:01 s

15:03 verify your information

15:05 go to the source always go to the source

15:12 because otherwise you might hurt someone

15:14 unknowingly

15:16 and then you will end up regretting what

15:19 you have done going back to the source

15:22 so not trusting the Technologies or the

15:25 information as it arises going to the

15:27 source of that information and verifying

15:30 it may Allah protect us from hurting

15:32 ourselves or from hurting others may

15:34 Allah allow us to make the most of what

15:36 is around us and may Allah reward us for

15:38 our efforts and make our outputs

15:40 beneficial to us in this Dunya and the

15:42 next. Ameen -------------------

This video was recorded on May 5th, 2023, and published on May 29th, 2023.

It is demographically one of the world’s younger regions whereas the West, or certain parts of Asia, is very much an aging population.


- How water scarcity is tremendous in this region and how it affects everything and everyone. - How the Sahara Desert, basically is crossing the Mediterranean and impacting Europe, southern Spain, and Portugal and other parts of the Middle East. - How it has made it more difficult for people to work outdoors, forcing the need to do more of the work at night when it's a little bit cooler. - How the nights aren't cooling as much as they used to because of the very warm conditions of the Mediterranean oceans and how this is also leading to a phenomenon called ‘medicanes’ which are Mediterranean cyclones. - How the warmer water around coastal regions are leading to more dangerous wet bulb temperatures. - How many parts of these regions will essentially become uninhabitable as early as 2050. - and much more. . .

----"Jordan River has finally dried up...". -- Transcript: ----------------------------


we all have heard of the Jordan River

0:02 the Jordan River is famous for its

0:05 spiritual significance in many religions

0:07 but did you know that this River has

0:09 recently started drying up

0:11 why is the river drying up

0:13 what could this mean for the fate of

0:15 humanity

0:17 how will the Muslims be affected by it

0:19 keep watching the video to find the

0:21 answers to these intimidating questions


n the history and

0:53 culture of the Middle East the Jordan

0:55 River plays a significant role the

0:58 Jordan and the Euphrates River have been

1:00 mentioned in the Bible and holy Quran

1:03 the Jordan River plays an important role

1:05 in the development of countries like

1:07 Palestine its biggest city Jerusalem

1:10 Egypt Jordan and Syria it has provided

1:14 water for the irrigation of crops ever

1:16 since mankind began establishing itself

1:19 here so basically the reverse Jordan has

1:22 been feeding the ancestors of some of

1:25 the biggest Muslim countries to come

1:27 today the flowing water is also a source

1:30 of energy obtained using dams or other

1:33 generators

1:34 but something terrifying is happening

1:36 with the Jordan River

1:38 what is it

1:40 the Jordan River is drying up

1:42 but what is it that is happening due to

1:45 the decline of the Jordan River

1:47 before taking a look at that we have

1:50 another question which makes us all go

1:53 into deep thought

1:54 what made the Jordan River dry up

1:57 it's a victim of the conflict definitely

2:01 it's a victim of people

2:03 because it's what we did as people to

2:06 the river

2:07 basically and now adding to all this

2:09 it's a victim of climate change said

2:12 Yana Abu Talib this pretty much sums up

2:15 everything

2:17 the river dried up because of people

2:19 people overused its resources

2:22 more than enough water was taken from

2:24 the river for agriculture needs

2:27 the agriculture sector played an

2:29 important role in the exports of these

2:31 countries especially crops so the drying

2:34 of the Jordan River proved to be greatly

2:36 disastrous for the neighboring states

2:39 people never cared about saving water

2:43 another reason for the drawing of this

2:45 River were the dams stronger countries

2:48 like Israel built a large number of dams

2:51 on this River

2:52 due to the large number of dams the

2:54 water kept getting lower

2:56 with a course of time the Jordan River

2:59 was turned into Barren Land by no one

3:02 but people

3:03 to top it off Syria suffered from a

3:06 severe drought in the past few years

3:07 which further devastated the whole

3:10 scenario its decline is also supported

3:12 by the decades old Israeli violations

3:15 and rivalry over precious water with so

3:18 many Syrian refugees in Jordan and the

3:20 surrounding countries the demand for

3:23 water has only been increasing in the

3:25 countries which are nearer to the drying

3:27 areas of the river the birth rate is

3:30 constantly increasing

3:32 the agricultural demands are constantly

3:34 increasing the powerful countries like

3:37 Israel with the support of more powerful

3:39 governments of the world are diverting

3:42 the root of the river to create dams and

3:44 agriculture Water Resources for their

3:47 own people

3:48 it is a disaster for millions of people

3:50 who do not belong to strong and powerful

3:53 governments and they are mostly Muslims

3:56 brothers and sisters

3:58 the natural and the political geography

4:00 of the world is slowly making the Muslim

4:02 countries and populations miserable by

4:05 the day

4:06 Christians all across the world come to

4:09 the Jordan River around the year but

4:12 when it dried

4:13 it was like an empty desert where no

4:16 flower blooms dams no longer produce

4:19 enough electricity due to which the

4:22 people are suffering from an electricity

4:24 crisis the Syrian refugee camps have

4:27 been the main target of Destruction by

4:29 this Jordan River crisis diseases are

4:31 increasing in the refugee populations

4:33 because of lack of Sanitation this whole

4:36 situation is worse in itself but what

4:39 really alarms us is when we look at the

4:42 hadees of the Prophet Muhammad peace be

4:44 upon him which had already predicted the

4:46 famine that this world will go through

4:49 towards the end of times according to

4:51 the hadees reported by Abu um

4:55 appears there will be three difficult

4:58 years in which the people will suffer

5:00 severe famine in the first year Allah

5:03 will command the sky to withhold one

5:05 third of its Reign and the Earth to

5:08 withhold one third of its produce in the

5:10 second year he will command the sky to

5:13 withhold two-thirds of its Reign and the

5:15 Earth to withhold two-thirds of its

5:18 produce in the third year he will

5:20 command the sky to withhold all of its

5:22 rain and not a single drop will fall and

5:26 the Earth to withhold all of its produce

5:28 and nothing will grow all cloven hoofed

5:32 animals will die except those that Allah

5:36 Wills

5:37 it was said what will the people live on

5:39 at that time he said

5:45 that will take the place of food for

5:48 them brothers and sisters the way the

5:51 Jordan River is drying up and the Muslim

5:53 communities around the river are

5:55 suffering one is forced to wonder are we

5:58 getting closer to the end of times

6:01 are the three years of famine just about

6:03 to begin is the Jal (dajjal) just about to appear.

In the history and

6:41 culture of the Middle East the Jordan

6:43 River plays a significant role the

6:45 Jordan and the Euphrates River have been

6:48 mentioned in the Bible and holy Quran

6:51 the Jordan River plays an important role

Geopolitical Economy Report • 45K views US politicians from both parties agree: the deficit doesn't really matter. In their bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling, Biden and Republicans agreed to boost military spending to $886...



the U.S government has reached its debt

0:03 limit of 31 trillion dollars

0:11 there's non-stop discussion of this in

0:13 the media and certainly all over YouTube

0:15 there are a lot of hyperbolic videos

0:18 claiming that this is the end of the

0:20 world the US government is going to

0:21 default I have found most of this

0:24 coverage pretty annoying and misleading


so today I want to make two brief points

0:29 that I want to hit home that you're

0:31 probably not going to see mentioned in

0:32 the mainstream corporate media point one

0:34 pretty much no one in Washington

0:36 actually cares about the debt ceiling

0:39 this is a political football that is

0:42 used every few years to justify cutting

0:45 Government funding for the very few

0:48 social programs that do exist and the

0:51 reality is that this debt is denominated

0:54 in dollars it is money that the US

0:56 government could print and just pay off

0:58 I mean it would lead to inflation but

1:00 the U.S federal reserve the Central Bank

1:02 printed eight trillion dollars from 2008

1:06 until 2022 over 14 years of quantitative

1:09 easing to support a big asset bubble to

1:12 help rich people get even richer so the

1:15 US government has a precedent for

1:17 printing this money however countries in

1:20 the global South cannot do that you see

1:22 many foreign countries especially in the

1:24 global South when they have debt their

1:27 government debt is often denominated in

1:29 other currencies specifically the US

1:32 dollar and they can't print U.S dollars

1:34 So that traps them in unpayable debt


- May Allah bless, it's like he is making the points and videos I want to make and more than that (truly) but I'm not a very good talker, am still learning, don't have a lot of time...



Debt ceiling hypocrisy


1:38 I recently did a video and a podcast

1:40 about Argentina's odious debt that it's

1:43 trapped in denominated largely in US

1:46 Dollars I will link to that in the

1:47 description below but the other point

1:50 that I want to stress here is that it's

1:52 very clear from the deal that U.S

1:55 President Joe Biden a Democrat made with

1:58 the Republican Speaker of the House of

2:00 Representatives Kevin McCarthy they

2:03 agreed in their deal to make it more

2:06 difficult for people in the U.S to get

2:09 access to food stamps and Welfare and at

2:12 the same time they increased the

2:14 military budget to

2:16 885 billion dollars so it's very clear

2:20 that decision alone makes it clear that

2:23 no one in Washington actually believes

2:25 that the debt ceiling is important

2:27 because they're willing every single

2:29 year to keep increasing the military

2:32 budget which very well could reach a

2:35 trillion dollars by 2030. they keep

2:39 increasing the military budget to wage

2:40 war on Russia on China on Iran on

2:44 countries all around the world Syria is

2:46 still militarily occupied so while we

2:48 hear this constant Shout in the media

2:50 this debate this false debate about the

2:53 debt ceiling both Republicans and

2:55 Democrats are totally on board with

2:58 continuing to expand the war budget

3:05 foreign

3:09 s when the Republican George W Bush was

3:12 president his Vice President Dick Cheney

3:15 a notorious neoconservative famously

3:18 said deficits don't matter he in fact

3:22 cited the previous Republican president

3:24 from the 1980s Ronald Reagan and said

3:27 that Ronald Reagan proved that deficits

3:30 don't matter the Bush Administration

3:33 proved this because they spent trillions

3:35 of dollars waging the so-called war on

3:38 terror invading Afghanistan invading

3:41 Iraq expanding the U.S military

3:44 interventionist policies all around the

3:46 world and where did that money come from

3:47 well they just spent it the government

3:49 spent it they didn't care about the debt

3:51 ceiling because the U.S government can

3:53 create dollars which no other country in

3:55 the world can do and yet the dollar is

3:57 the global Reserve currency that's the

3:59 exorbitant privilege of the US Empire


I'm going to come back to that point

4:02 later here now in the deal that U.S

4:06 President Joe Biden a Democrat May with

4:08 the Republican Speaker of the House

4:10 Kevin McCarthy it has been reported that

4:13 part of it includes increasing the

4:16 official military budget from around 800

4:19 billion dollars in 2023 to

4:22 885 billion dollars in 2024. however

4:27 this is actually an underestimate if you

4:30 look at a graph of the U.S government's

4:33 Federal discretionary spending for 2023.

4:37 you can see that the military basically

4:39 made up half of it and this is just the

4:42 official discretionary spending on paper

4:44 in reality the US military frequently

4:46 spends much more the Pentagon has failed

4:49 every single audit it has ever tried and

4:51 there are trillions of dollars of

4:54 spending that is completely unaccounted

4:55 for but even if we look at the official

4:58 discretionary spending budget we can see

5:01 that in 2023 the military was about 800

5:05 billion and non-military was not 936

5:09 billion however that is actually

5:11 misleading because in the so-called

5:14 non-military spending it included

5:17 131 billion dollars of benefits for

5:20 veterans so if you take out that

5:23 spending from the non-military it's

5:25 actually the non-military was around 800

5:27 billion and the military spending

5:29 including veterans benefits was

5:31 931 billion and that doesn't also

5:34 include other hidden costs like for

5:37 instance the nuclear budget is sometimes

5:40 included in non-military energy spending

5:42 or International Affairs represented 80

5:46 billion dollars of the so-called

5:48 non-military spending so in reality the

5:51 US government according to the official

5:53 Federal government's discretionary

5:55 spending the official budget it is

5:58 definitely over half of what the US

6:00 government spends and probably

6:02 significantly more than half

6:04 meanwhile in 2022 U.S military spending

6:08 made up nearly two-fifths of the entire

6:12 world the U.S military budget was 39

6:16 nearly 40 percent of the global military

6:19 budget which means that Washington spent

6:22 10 times more than Russia and three

6:25 times more than China despite the fact

6:28 that China has four times the U.S

6:30 population actual U.S military spending

6:34 in 2022 was 877 billion dollars that's

6:38 actually larger than the next 10 biggest

6:41 military Spenders combined so Washington

6:44 spent more on its military than China

6:46 Russia India Saudi Arabia Britain

6:49 Germany France South Korea Japan and

6:51 Ukraine all combined and many of those

6:54 countries are U.S allies

6:56 so in this bipartisan agreement in which

6:59 the Democratic President Biden and the

7:01 Republican Speaker of the House Kevin

7:04 McCarthy agreed to increase military

7:07 spending to 885 billion officially on

7:10 paper it's very clear that both

7:13 corporate parties in the United States

7:15 recognize that deficits don't actually

7:17 matter they agree with Dick Cheney

7:20 Reagan proved deficits don't matter

7:22 what's even more absurd and insulting

7:26 about this bipartisan agreement between

7:28 the Democrats and the Republicans to

7:30 raise the debt ceiling is that it while

7:32 increasing the military budget it makes

7:35 it more difficult for poor people in the

7:37 United States to receive Food Stamps and

7:40 Welfare according to the initial

7:42 agreement that Biden and McCarthy made

7:45 which could potentially change but it

7:47 says that people aged 54 and under have

7:51 to work 80 hours a month in order to

7:53 receive Food Stamps and it's expected at

7:56 this this agreement could potentially

7:58 push hundreds of thousands of families

8:01 in the United States off of receiving

8:04 food stamps and Welfare and this is

Food stamps

8:06 despite the fact that welfare and food

8:08 stamps have already been significantly

8:10 slashed going back to Bill Clinton you

8:13 know the neo-liberal Democrats Bill

8:16 Clinton campaigned on the promise that

8:18 he will end welfare as we know it and he

8:21 basically did so and since then

8:23 Republicans have also cut food stamps

8:25 Donald Trump significantly cut food

8:27 stamps this is despite the fact that one

8:30 out of six children in the United States

8:33 is going hungry we constantly hear that

8:36 the U.S is such a prosperous country the

8:38 richest country on Earth and yet one out

8:40 of six children in the United States is

8:43 in a house where they don't have enough

8:45 food the food stamp program in the

8:47 United States is officially known as

8:49 snap the supplemental nutrition

8:51 assistance program and according to data

8:55 from the U.S department of AG

8:56 agriculture

8:58 four-fifths of households in the US that

9:01 receive snap 81 percent have either a

9:04 child an elderly individual or an

9:07 individual with a disability as of 2022

9:11 one-fifth twenty percent of children in

9:15 the United States were in households

9:17 that received food stamps this is a

9:20 vitally important social program because

9:22 poverty in the United States is actually

9:24 a very significant problem that is

9:27 getting worse over time not better we

9:29 can see this with the massive problem of

9:31 homelessness in the United States and

9:33 meanwhile billionaires and millionaires

9:35 keep getting richer the rich get richer

9:37 and the poor are getting poorer

9:39 inequalities increasing and that's why

9:41 20 percent of children are in households

9:43 that receive Food Stamps as of February

9:45 2023 42.5 million people in the United

9:50 States received food stamps through the

9:52 snap program that is 13 of the entire

9:55 U.S population that is more than one out

9:58 of every 10 people in the US receive

10:01 Food Stamps this is extremely important

10:03 so quite literally the Democrats and the

10:06 Republicans have agreed to make it more

10:09 difficult for people in the country to

10:11 get food while they're increasing the

10:14 military budget to wage war and of

10:16 course who benefits from the military

10:17 budget it's the Beltway Bandits it's all

10:20 of the big weapons corporations in

10:23 Washington and around you know the DMV

10:25 area Washington DC Maryland Virginia

10:28 they're military contractors their

10:30 private corporations that pocket these

10:33 billions of dollars in fat government

10:34 contracts while poor people can no

10:37 longer put food on their table for their

10:38 children and I mentioned that when

10:40 Donald Trump was President he cut food

10:42 stamps well he also significantly cut

Tax cuts

10:46 taxes on the ultra Rich a 2019 study by

10:50 economists found that Donald Trump's tax

10:53 cuts resulted in billionaires paying

10:56 lower taxes then the bottom half of

10:59 households in the U.S so that is poor

11:02 and working people in 2018 the richest

11:05 400 families in the U.S paid an average

11:08 effective tax rate of 23 percent while

11:11 the bottom 50 of households in the U.S

11:14 paid an effective tax rate of 24.2

11:18 percent and that is despite the fact by

11:20 the way that taxes on the rich in the

11:22 United States have consistently Fallen

11:25 since the 1960s in 1960 the 400 richest

11:30 families in the United States paid up to

11:32 56 percent in taxes

11:35 by 1980 that figure had fallen to just

11:39 40 percent and as of 2018 it was 23 so

11:44 if you want to know why there is such a

11:46 massive national debt in the United

11:48 States it's very easy to explain why the

11:51 rich don't pay taxes they pay fewer and

11:54 fewer taxes while the tax burden

11:56 actually is increasing on poor and

11:58 working people in the U.S and the US

12:00 government spends trillions of dollars

12:02 Waging War around the world with 804

12:05 military bases and the U.S government

12:08 constantly at least until 2022 had a

12:12 program in which basically it was giving

12:14 trillions of dollars to the rich to pump

12:17 up one of the largest asset bubbles in

12:21 human history inflating the prices of

12:24 stocks and bonds inflating the price of

12:27 real estate inflating assets and these

12:31 assets are owned by rich people not by

12:34 poor people this was trillions of

12:36 dollars going into the pockets or in the

12:38 bank accounts of the richest people in

12:41 the United States and the world it was

12:43 the most massive Act of welfare in human

12:45 history after the 2008 financial crash

12:48 up to 2022 in 14 years of quantitative

12:52 easing the U.S federal reserve created

12:55 eight trillion dollars that went into

12:58 inflating all of these assets the

13:01 Federal Reserve through the QE policy

13:03 was buying up mortgage-backed Securities

13:06 these toxic assets that no one wanted to

13:09 invest in and who were the beneficiaries

13:11 it was the ultra Rich because in the

13:14 United States 10 percent of people own

13:16 more than 90 percent of assets this is

13:19 welfare for the rich and meanwhile the

13:22 government is cutting the actually

13:24 existing welfare for the poor and this

13:26 brings me to the final point that I

13:28 wanted to make today which is what I

13:29 began my analysis discussing which is

13:31 how this whole manufactured Scandal of

13:35 the US national debt is ridiculous

13:37 because it is debt that the US

13:39 government owes in dollars so if the

13:42 government truly want it it could print

13:44 that money to pay off the debt now

13:46 however it would create inflation that

13:49 is absolutely true but here I want to

13:52 say that I agree that the modern

13:54 monetary theorists mmt economists they

13:57 are right when they talk about this

13:59 issue Stephanie Kelton and others they

14:01 say you know the debt ceiling doesn't

14:02 matter and we know the net debt ceiling

14:04 doesn't matter because as Dick Cheney

14:06 boasted about it and every single year

14:08 the US government raises the military

14:09 budget so clearly they don't actually

14:11 believe it's important but I think the

14:14 mmt theorists are missing another

14:16 crucial detail and I want to mention

14:18 this before I conclude today and that is

14:20 imperialism and the exorbitant privilege

14:23 of the US dollar one of the very few mmt

Imperialism

14:27 Affiliated economists who talks about

14:30 this is Michael Hudson and of course

14:32 this is I I owe a great debt to Michael

14:34 Hudson because because he has shown this

14:37 for decades going back to His Brilliant

14:40 book super imperialism which shows how

14:43 the Global Financial system was created

14:46 to give the United States a free lunch

14:48 now most governments around the world

14:51 especially in the global South can't

14:53 simply print money in order to pay off

14:56 their debt because many countries owe

14:59 debt in a foreign currency for many

15:01 countries in the global South when the

15:03 government needs Finance they will often

15:05 for instance sell Euro bonds and despite

15:08 the name a eurobond has nothing to do

15:09 with the Euro a Euro bond is a bond that

15:13 is government debt that is sold by a

15:15 government in a foreign currency and the

15:18 majority of Euro bonds are denominated

15:20 in U.S dollars So when countries in the

15:23 global South like for instance Ghana or

15:26 Zambia or Pakistan or Sri Lanka or

15:28 Argentina as I showed in a recent

15:31 episode when they sell their Euro bonds

15:33 nominated in US dollars they they have

15:36 to actually produce value in their

15:38 economy in order to get access to those

15:41 US dollars in order to pay off their

15:43 debt the United States doesn't have to

15:45 actually produce anything of value the

15:48 US government can simply print the

15:49 dollar and this is how the United States

15:52 has maintained the world's largest

15:55 current account deficit for decades what

15:58 is a current account deficit what does

16:00 that mean that means that the U.S

16:02 government constantly Imports way more

16:05 than it exports and if you look at a map

16:08 of countries around the world by their

16:10 current account balance you can see that

16:12 the United States and the imperialist

16:14 countries largely excluding Germany

16:16 which is a manufacturing superpower but

16:17 largely the United States Britain the

16:20 imperialist powers have massive current

16:22 account deficits because they're

16:25 constantly having this massive inflow of

16:27 imports and Investments so they have

16:31 also the inverse of the current account

16:34 is the capital account so you have

16:35 constant Capital flowing in to assets

16:38 Securities in the United States and to a

16:41 lesser extent Britain for much of the

16:42 global South it's the exact opposite for

16:45 a country like Argentina if you

16:48 constantly import technology and other

16:50 products it's going to devalue your

16:53 currency and this is exactly what's

16:54 happening in Argentina right now there

16:56 is significant inflation which is

16:58 eroding away the life savings in living

17:01 standards of Argentine workers because

17:04 what happens in most countries is when

17:07 the government has a consistent current

17:09 account deficit it's importing much more

17:11 than it's exporting it weakens that

17:13 currency because usually they have to

17:15 sell their currency in foreign exchange

17:18 markets in order to get access to the

17:20 dollars or whatever currency they use to

17:22 buy the Imports and because of the

17:25 dominance of the US dollar because of

17:27 the imperialist system that means that

17:30 usually they have to get access to

17:31 dollars so the Argentine peso has been

17:33 significantly decreasing in relation to

17:36 the US dollar and as I explained it's

17:38 also due to the massive debt it owes in

17:40 dollars to Western vulture funds like

17:42 BlackRock and to the international

17:43 monetary fund the IMF so for most

17:46 countries over time if they import too...


--------------------


excess dollars in assets insecurities in

19:24 the United States on Wall Street in real

19:26 estate so this is the exorbitant

19:29 privilege that the French Finance

19:32 Minister talked about in the 1960s the

19:34 U.S economy doesn't need to produce one

19:38 hundred dollars worth of value through

19:40 Labor in order to buy one hundred

19:43 dollars worth of products the US

19:45 government can print that money and it's

19:47 actually free because most of the

19:49 printing that's done is actually digital

19:51 it's not even real physical cash it is

19:53 balance it's the balance sheet at the

19:56 Federal Reserve and the U.S treasury

19:57 right so the U.S can simply print that

20:00 money in order to import whereas other

20:02 countries especially in the global South

20:04 their workers have to produce constant

20:07 Surplus they have to break their backs

20:09 working and working and working in order

20:11 to produce 100 worth of value in order

20:14 to get access to the one hundred dollars

20:16 that by the way often goes toward paying

20:19 interest on the debt owed to vulture

20:23 funds on Wall Street or Asset Management

20:25 firms like BlackRock that is investing

20:28 the capital the wealth of the rich

20:32 oligarchs the billionaire class and

20:34 buying up gobbling up assets around the

20:37 world



I just wanted to in

24:33 this analysis today I wanted to just

24:35 raise those two points that one everyone

24:38 in Washington recognizes the national

24:40 government debt doesn't really matter

24:42 because they're continuing to increase

24:44 the military budget and they have spent

24:46 trillions of dollars on war on

24:49 quantitative easing to help bolster the

24:51 price of stocks and bonds and real

24:54 estate to help support the rich welfare

24:56 for the Rich so that's the first point

24:58 and the second point is that the reason

25:00 that the United States can do that in

25:03 the first place is because of

25:05 imperialism

25:06 so with that I'm going to conclude here

25:08 I'm Ben Norton of geopolitical economy
