I was invited to talk about the context of expanding conflict, on Saturday 22 August 2026, as part of a three hour global conference organised by Moeen of Global Vision 2000. I start around 21 minutes into the following video, after Moeen’s introduction, and talk for about 15 minutes. The full video provides different perspectives on what’s happening.
Global Vision 2000 Webinar on WW3 & The Greater Middle East Region (video 3 hours 9 minutes 45 seconds)
The Global Vision 2000 thinktank is hosting an emergency webinar on Saturday August 22 2026. The topic is on WW3 and the Greater Middle Eastern region. This is taking place at a critical time in the history’s region and the global economy which is at a critical crossroads
As I’ve said, on many occasions particularly in interviews, the madness will not cease until we, collectively, withdraw our energy and resources from the structure which is founded on and fuelled by institutional hierarchy, enclosure of the commons (basically everything we need to live) and money. This is a progressive journey that is unique to everyone. We all start from different places and take different routes on our journey of discovery.
The lies, abuse, death and destruction are all too visible now to be ignored and those who choose, withdraw not just their consent but their energy and resources which the structure feeds and thrives on even when in opposition. The structure doesn’t need you to agree with their false narratives, decisions and actions as long as you continue to engage, i.e. in opposition.
During the Gilets Jaunes protests in France, Critical Thinking published a Strategy for Resistance which has stood the test of time. It’s not a blueprint but a menu of options that may help progress disengagement from the structure. As one progresses, one finds increasingly that we need less of what the structure offers (access to money/resources, conditional on accepting the abuse, control and destruction). We live by love, take what we need and leave the rest.
