And that OT “God” is actually just an “El”, just one of many “Elohim” that existed on earth way back when. Jesus, to me, was a rebel against the Jealous El priesthood, but he had to be extremely careful how he did this or else they’d have killed him.
My sense: the priests back then weren’t into healing the sick, raising the dead - they just demanded tribute because “jealous El”, and teachings of Jesus threatened that cash flow because his teachings were vastly more useful to the little people.
Col. Davis is mad as hell and he’s not gonna take it anymore. Commentary on the morality of what’s going on in the Gulf, the random targeting of civilian vessels by the US.
I follow Daniel Davis and have not seen him this pissed in a long time…. quite a rant.
About breaking stuff… spesifically from Lebanon I remember some quotes that blowing up buildings brings new construction boom and subsidies. Seems they learned things from there. This was 2006 or so, very long time ago.
Although explosion is such crude method when raccoons can simply play with bits nowadays and steal your stuff via markets.
How does this play out in Japan? Raise bond yields (which is bad for them) ?
Ik yen is mostly domestic but they need lots of dollars to buy oil,gas and other imports.
But that’s ok isn’t it? It is not always the case that the simplest explanation is the correct one. Very rarely it is in this complex world.
Still is. Tends to be among those damn “toxic” males, in person and with those in your circle. Usually, the closer you are, the more brutal the comments.
Great interview! Please keep bringing Simon back for more.
This Bloke seems to have a Real Positive Attitude?
Either that, or he loves “Pizza”?
Hopefully, here “Pizza” is not another Code Word out of the Epstein Files….

I’ve been living in my car for 10 years and doing better than ever.. I deliver pizza part-time for my local pizzeria and That’s all folks.
American Culture has changed because of the ubiquitous Brainwashing and Menticide.
Comedy …a presumption it was funny to start with.
Yes, I’m saying they are going to break their own deals, their own plan, they will sink into an abyss and we will take control but it’s gonna be a hell of a fight. In the end, peace, I believe.
The sad fact is, all the fancy armaments are gone, the “military” targets in Iran are as well. This is a global war of economic attrition between the United States and any version of “Multipolarity”. It will carry on though because the instant it stops short of total U.S. dollar hegemony the U.S. government collapses - the elites are strapped into suicide vests, driving us all towards an abyss.
For the U.S. dollar to control the world, a certain percentage of global oil, LNG, and helium has been taken offline. To prevent prices from increasing and collapsing the U.S. government, demand for those resources must be destroyed elsewhere in the world. To survive its own war, the U.S. must degrade anyone else’s demand for oil, gas, and helium. Anyone. Anywhere. What % of LNG was taken offline when Ras Lafan declated force majeur? 20%?
Well, tough sh** everyone else, the U.S. dollar needs you to cut your demand to keep the U.S. dollar empire in business.
We focus on Iran, on Lebanon, maybe Ukraine - but the strikes against Russia are literally piracy and terrorism on the high seas.
Mali, Haiti, Somalia - active military campaigns being run by the U.S. dollar system. Bombing campaign in Somalia last year the largest in recorded history from a Naval launch. Mali is a shooting war, our terrorists and specialists against Mali’s government and Russian contractors. Haiti is Erik Prince’s Vectus contractors stepping in where the Kenyan army failed to gain strategic control of one of the last remaining non-client state in the Gulf of [America].
Operation Roaring Lion in West Africa to convert Algeria and Morrocco into proxy armies to spread U.S. dollar hegemony down to Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana.
Insurgency in Burma. CIA printed guns and drones versus Chinese-allied Burmese government.
Regime change in Indonesia.
Arming, training Phillipines; linking them with South Korea and Japan to strike China in 2027.
All of this is happening right now in real time, every day. Innocent lives mean nothing to the U.S. dollar system and further, I think Simon Dixon is wrong. This is not stage managed. This is the U.S. dollar systems big push for total control.
Socrates said that “Comedy is the art of making fun of inferior people.”
Apparently, Comedians lament that there is often a real Risk of violence while doing Stand Up Comedy.
In the U.S., this is a huge problem since people in the U.S. carry guns.
By my estimation comedy has been ruined because noticing differences has been equated with being hateful.
This makes accepting differences and jesting about them intolerable. Seems it’s more virtuous to simply be intolerant, while pretending everyone is the same.
PEAK CONTEXT: EASY CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT HARD THINGS
I love Chris’s “Easy - Hard Framework”
“Building Data Centers is Eeeeeesssssyyyyy…..
Doing anything to help the American people is HhhhhaaaaaRrrrrddddd…..”
Question: Where does the “Easy - Hard Framework”. fit in within Christian Theology?
Which of the Ten Commandments are Eeeeessssyyyy? And, which of the Ten Commandments are Hhhaaaaaarrrrrrdddd?
Comedy in the U.S. has been eviscerated probably because People have become empowered to get attention and garner benefits by acting and pretending that they are “Triggered” and “Offended”?
When I was growing up in the U.S., we didn’t have this new Vocabulary. It’s literally a New Culture of grievance and Victimhood?
The attitude of the American politicians:
“Scamming and defrauding ignorant, money-grubbing, greedy, weak-minded, cowardly Americans- That’s Eeeesssssyyyyyy….”
The huge poster of Trump with a golden-colored face with the golden bullet speeding towards Trump’s head at Khamenei‘s funeral was a form of Iranian humor, right?
The Iranians were just Taking-the-Piss at the venal, greedy Americans, but we didn’t “Get It”?
It is a bit Funny, if you think about it….
I respect your opinion about disagreeing with Simon’s belief. I would just say there is seriously good substance in the conversation and really well reasoned opinions that are neutral to anyone’s belief. I’ve serious and dangerous experiences with Shia and Sunni who wanted me and other Marines dead in Beirut so I’m no huge fan of any group that proselytises death. Simon’s clearly not one of those.
FWIW, I’m a believer in Christ and take the Bible seriously. I study it daily for me and my own relationship with God. I might have disagreements with a Muslim’s beliefs but that wasn’t the point at all in the discussion. Simon has very good macro financial and economic observations that are beneficial to anyone. He had a similar interview months ago with Nima on Dialog Works. He covered many of the same topics.
I’d suggest give it a longer listen because you’ll be cheating yourself from the substance of the interview. Again, just a suggestion.
