Bradley Hope returns to the podcast.
By far the highest production value I’ve ever done. We recorded this together in Bradley’s studio in London.
And the episode was as much in 90 minutes that we could possibly do around his book, Blood and Oil. The co-author of which, Justin Scheck has also been a previous guests on this podcast. Blood and Oil is the story of MBS, Mohommed bin Salman, who is the crown prince and most powerful person in Saudi Arabia, he is as well, the singular vision responsible for most of the good but as well most of the bad that Saudi Arabia has been responsible for since about 2017.
Some of the things that stand out from this episode that I would encourage you to stay around for include the Shiek Down, this brazen transference of power and wealth which MBS oversaw.
Bradley’s take on the supposed sportswashing this region has been all ove the news for, specifically here, referring to football and golf.
The US/Saudi relationship
NEOM
And in between all of that a sense for MBS as told through the reporting and journalism of one of the best.

    For some of us, life is a game of Plinko with likely variables and less likely variables. For other people, life is sadly predictable. I think free will is NOT an "everybody or nobody" question. (Why would it be, given that chaos is so prevalent in our world?)

    The right in America want to take a woman's autonomy then the want to take public assistance like wic and snap. Leaving a poor abused woman no nowhere to turn but her child but a man. They want to take away dei making it harder for a woman to get and keep a good paying job. They are rolling back child labor. Messing with the poors ability to educate their children. They are removing words from a*x ed in schools like the names of organs, abuse incest. So I child that now adults will have more access to less able to describe what's happening to them. The Republican right has way more reported child SA scandals and trafficking from their people. This is going to turn America into the hand maids tail. And the wealthy will do what they want to like always turn the rest of us into victims while protecting the men that do it

    Got here because I’ve just started reading Norberg’s Capitalist Manifesto. What a discovery Johan Norberg is!!! Wow wow wow. I’m awestruck by his intellect, erudition (is this a word?), rational thinking and analysis, his knowledge of history and economics, his open-mindedness and kind heart. Not to me mention his charisma (wink). Thanks to Johan, I discovered Ayn Rand (a GREAT philosopher and mind whom I listened to on UA-cam and whose Atlas Shrugged I ordered already) and will revisit Friedrich Hayek. I was surprised Johan didn’t mention Karl Popper and his critical rationalism theory as well as Popper’s Open Society and Its Enemies (hasn’t that book become so timely), and Joseph Stiglitz’s take on Inequality. Oh, and not to forget: The INTERVIEWER with the questions he asked and things he commented on was just as phenomenal. Thank you both so much!!!

    I am fully aware of the horrors that go on in the world, which are intentional actions to kill off humanity and to keep in a state of fear and disharmony. My intuition is telling me something about this organisation that isn't ringing true. What is the "red hand" symbology about- why do you have to have it? This veiled world we have been existing in, has been using occult symbology to keep secrets from us in plain sight.

    I never forget it was some glitch inside our the inecent NRK, our only tv at time in the 80's where we in the news hears a coversation between a american and an italens man who had raped a child to death who was under one year old, it had exploited while the sex act and they where talking about what to do to get rith of the evidence. We had never heard anything lije this and i think the whole nation cried in shock that night. We never heard anything more about it. But in the later years we have heard so much as the same. Its so sad. And i understand that this is the maine problem we have in our world today. So if AI could do any good it must be to bé sex robots instead of children.

    The Iwerne camps in British evangelicalism were set up with similar goals to Opus Dei-capturing the children of British aristocrats at public schools to create a next generation of ruling elites who were evangelicals. The recent abuse scandal which caused the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury occurred at the Iwerne camps.
