💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
mostly it's the bankers, financing it all on every front.. except for us being humane. asking for truth and diversity. receiving lies and threats instead. Babylon 2030?
Initially, I was depressed then I felt liberated from the heavy matrix of lies I grew up with, especially about “good?” Western imperial/colonial Christianity, Dr Zayas. It also took me decades to realize, to wean off the Hollywood and western press propagandas as you have described them.
Even now I still get duped.its as if they hardwired me.
I was brainwashed by the bbc to hate the plo and yassar arafat

Indeed the Hollywood western colonial christianity propaganda had bas been terrible particular since WWII !
OK, I am not Christian, but imperialism and colonialism are objectively anti-religious. So... 🤨 (fake religion abounds).
It was a form of identity crisis for myself finding my true self outside mainstream media
😂 I s*** you not
The biggest mistake the ICJ did,Was NOT to order Israel to have a Stop of the military actions!!!
Sincerely Michael Foley 🤔
The only mistake is that for 80 years the European Jewish community has been bribing the British colonizers and their colony in the US! Britain only sold a piece of Palestinian territory to the Rothschilds family that they renamed Israel, even that sale was illegal, but killing Palestinian's to steal the rest of their land is an invasion and a war crime! The end of this hegemony is coming to an end by God's grace and ICJ and ICC will be re-established to protect the whole worlds citizen's not just those who can pay a bribe! China, Russia, Iran will restore justice to at least a fair level according to Gods will not the will of the ones with most money and weapons!
The Emperor has no clothes 😆😆😆😆😆
there is no emperor...
Oh this precious little life cut short😢❤
@opetelkaaluemaan Rupert Murdoch would undoubtedly beg somewhat to differ.
you wish. emperor actually wears very colorful garb, oversized shoes, dons heavy makeup and has red ball for a nose
just as I AM is without persona.

Shame on all those democracy defenders.. just look where the world is with your policies. Once again, crossing seas and rivers to teach other peoples on how to run their lands is a big lie. Respect, Justice and Equal Rights (Soli and Sanguini)
America has lostit legal eagle status.
It is now legal evil
The world is or was till just recently actually doing pretty good, with the exception of a few countries in Africa, Ukraine with the war, and same with Israel and being invaded by Muslims last October. But none of that is new. Really just "Same as it ever was". The biggest problem in the world isn't any one type of political system, as it is a consolidation of wealth and power to fewer and fewer people who then exploit a country and people regardless of the political system in the country. All countries seem to get infiltrated by the rich who try to get richer at the expense of the poor. It's been that way since the beginning of time regretfully. The truth is : there is no such thing as "middle class". That's a media term derived by the rich to try to make people feel better about the low salaries. No, it is still only the very rich, and then the rest of us poor SOB's But something that I heard that was disturbed me is what has been happening in Nigeria, and so many deaths. That there is a civil war of sorts, and none of it is being reported like the war in Ukraine or Israel. That's the media, again controlled by a few deciding on what subjects will be presented or not. And Nigeria is just a bunch of blacks dying, not white people like white people are in Ukraine so it doesn't get reported. Because the ones that own the media channels are white. But no, never racist with their coverage. No It's the lack of coverage which is racist.
@@johannjohann6523I agree with a lot of what you said, except fora few things. The US and collective west are absolutely at least partially responsible for a lot things happening globally and for decades. You forgot a bunch of coups and assassinations over the last century ontop of all of the massive political and economic coercion, more importantly invasions and wars like iraq, Afghanistan, lybia and syria. Also, nigeria has a terrorist problem(most likely funded by the west and arab states like uae and Qatar), but the country of 220+ million are not in a civil war.
There has never been international law, but militaristic, economic & political power supersedes it without exception.
I agree. Like international food aid denied to civilians caught up in civil war eg Somalia or deploying mercenary groups by either state or super-rich actors etc.
With no International Law, no one can stop Genocide. 😒😬
@dorissharp1729 👍
@@dorissharp1729 There would be an actual likelihood of International Law to prevail except for the veto power of the Security Council. The USA (and Israel now too) have vetoed any country who dares to support justice and peace. Unless there is a quid pro quo. We see they are assholes but they have their head in the sand and don't know we can see what they have done and do. Shame on the USA, always promising democracy while installing corrupt leaders and stealing the resources!
Wellcome to the real world
On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians.
Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1
According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total.
On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1
When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1
From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations.
A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower.
The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp. This was a military defeat, and they are taking it out on the rest.
The reported ages of the victims are as follows:
0-4: 2 civilians
5-12: 8 civilians
13-17: 14 civilians
18-25: 132 civilians
26-40: 119 civilians
41-60: 55 civilians
61+: 40 civilians
Active duty military personnel:
18-25: 258 active duty military personnel
26-40: 60 active duty military personnel
41-60: 17 active duty military personnel
61+: 1 active duty military personnel

Total; 2008 up to September 2023 - 161,233 PA Civilian Casualties, 1,023 military personnel.
Wounded includes: amputees from the deliberate targeting of knees by snipers, white phosphorous third degree body burns, etc
The "Costs of War" study by brown in 2021 has these figures for the past 20 years of engagement of US policy: indirect deaths 4.5-4.7 million, direct 905-940,000 ; in other words 6 Million Deaths and 38 million displaced. This is relevant because of the Oded Yinon Plan.
Just one correction, there are no civilians in Israel, all are settlers on occupied land.
Amazing!!...
. deaths calculated as cold statistics
I disagree with Kahuto. Going for that is sliding into a muck of IDF/Israel thinking: no civiliansin Gaza, all of them support Hamas in some way, What is important hovever is to add a range of estimates on the numbers among 473 + 675 victims that were killed by IDF + police fire (I read that shooting from helicopters at all vehicles in the vicinity of "musical festival" was done by police). I think that much fewer "Hannibalized" victims were military than civilian, but I never put together all published info.
@@piotrberman6363I'll agree with you with one caveat. The kibbutz settlements in what is currently Palestinian land are often founded under force of arms by the settlements. Since, the Israeli state tacitly endorses their use of force, these men should be considered as paramilitary forces or terrorists and fair game under the rules of war.
Thank you so much for itemising the facts and data above. I will be either transcribing or pasteing all of this on to a fact sheet for myself because I've been searching for just duch a fact sheet for quite a while now.
Prof. de Zayas is fluent in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, and Italian, in addition to his impressive credentials, a rarity among those in international law, politics and diplomacy arenas these days, hence the chaos the world is in.
As should all diplomats do... It is very important to hear what your opponent says, and not what your interpreter makes of it.
@@frutt5k Yes, but you should know who your opponent is . . . if you think you always see him and talk to him, then you are wrong . . . on a personal level, when due to some problem you make a phone call to the call center of a corporation that provides you with some services, who do you think is your real opponent . . . the man or woman talking to you on the other end of the phone line or someone else . . . ?
Bingo how could you possibly understand about International politics unless you know at least one other language most in the USA do not at all
@@markojuric4954 you must be an american, or, worse, a frenchy.
@@frutt5k You wrong. I am Croat.
Diplomacy is the skill of saying more or less everything except what you think. In other words, diplomacy is the first echelon of the intelligence service and listening to what they say is not very useful because it is more useful to watch what they do.
Pascal, you are doing a great job educating the public about international relations and realities of the world politics
I studied International Law in Law School 20 years ago, and we were taught that the US did not recognize International Law. Same for Russia.
"Same for Russia"?
And Israel...
International law is such a foreign term here in the West, scarcely a soul stops to think about it, showing you what a criminal society we actually are.

Apologies from an American

Prof. De Zayas has a very strong feeling of fairness and justice and his concept of how International Law should be is enlightening.
Wow! This guy is up there with Mearsheimer, McGregor, Glenn Diesen, Chas Freeman and Jeffrey Sachs. Both intellect and passionate moral fury.
I’ll be looking forward to hearing from Dr. De Zayas again soon. Listening to him (both parts 1 and 2) somehow gives me a sense of getting my bearings again. It’s like the real thinkers and scholars and wise people have all gone missing but pop up here and there in unexpected times and places . Such a relief
De Zayas is an OG, if you will. Lifelong fight for justice and fairness. Massive respect to him and thanks for having him on!
It’s so sad to see what the west is doing to itself. There is so much good to be confident about but instead we are falling for the worst of our qualities. I hope sanity prevails!
Sanity is waning, day by day
The west elite has embraced sionist culture and money and has stuck the middle finger at law & order.😂
"Exceptionalism" was always a self generated concept detached from reality. All nations are exceptional or none are.

This was great! Thank you both 💖
The west does not have democracy but oligarchy-well said Dr!
how sad it was to see a little girl in Gaza starving and telling her cat not to eat her when she died😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢, shame on colonial criminal powers, disguised as democratic countries
it was heartening to hear Dr Alfred say that once clear of the great delusion there comes a feeling of being liberated . as i am still in the angry ,disappointed , hurt and feeling devoid of hope phase and wishing the curtains of my mind had never been drawn . was it foolish of me to think i could let in some light unaware that night had already fallen.

Thanks Dr Lottaz. The Neutrality Studies channel is a beacon of sanity. This interview with Prof. de Zayas is an oral history reference work. Well done, mate. 🦘🪃🦘
Thanks, think that in Italy we have the institution of the referendum which has been disgraced by almost all political forces with the invitation to citizens not to go to vote and therefore not reach the necessary quorum, when some result was not of any politically instrumental use . the same political forces that today praise weapons and the violation of laws in the name of "democracy".
Very good to have the insights of Dr. deZayas. He is so very smart.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Capitalism was born in the former Roman colonies of western Europe along with the modern incarnations of the Roman Republic, and the republican paradigm is the source of the failures of all modern governments, including the socialist varieties.
Hitler’s Nazis and Stalin’s “communists,” despite the ideological differences between their facades, were mirror-image products of republican world-building. Hitler and Stalin were republicans before they were anything else. Mussolini is seen as Roman fascism’s revivalist, but in actuality, the US government is a faithful rendition of the Roman Republic, festooned with dueling fasces and other Roman paraphernalia.
Look at photos of the House of Representatives and notice the Roman mace and twin fasces. In case you don’t know, a mace is a weapon for bludgeoning people to death, and it’s sometimes used ceremonially as a symbol of authority. Notice that the axe heads on the fasces are placed to face each other! The symbols in the House of Representatives signify a population divided into opposing camps and ruled over with the threat of capital punishment.
The incorrect assumption about the republican construct is that it is only an objective logical framework. In fact, it is a framework that institutionalizes elite rule, regardless of ideology or of the mechanisms for selecting representatives. The logic of a republic is game logic, designed to keep people investing in a game they can never win, while decisions in the real world are made by the house. Republicanism and the federalism required to enforce it are deliberate negations of democracy.
American “democracy” can be characterized as the people of Arizona being forced to compete against the people of New York in a Sisyphean “culture war” to force their respective “identities” on each other, while the substantive decision-making of the federal republic is done by a coterie of “elected” pragmatic opportunists openly sponsored by private wealth.
The U.S., a nation of more than 330 million people, is effectively ruled by 543 people in the federal government, and approximately the same number in the government of each state. That is approximately 27,700 deciders, or .000084 of the population. Controlling that minuscule fractional minority by any means is what republican politics is all about.
We are purported to be a sapient species, and a sapient body politic requires democratic initiatives and reforms with a goal to eventually transition to direct democracy. Direct democracy and the absence of hierarchies is the sapient future. Although it does make sense to learn from socialist critiques, it doesn’t make sense for us to first strive for a socialist republic, especially considering the historical baggage that socialism has acquired.
Direct democracy would be an easy sell to people across the current political spectrum, if it were taken seriously by intelligent people as an actual possibility. The problem is that it’s the most radical, empowering and likely to succeed option that is conceivable, and that makes the idea of a socialist republic palatable by comparison to private concerns.
The U.S. is run by money…. And the majority are run by less than 100 people who’s sole interest is to make more for themselves
When the UN authorized the American military campaign in Iraq based on lies repeated exhaustively by the Bush Jr. administration, International Law died. The war crimes committed in the Second Gulf War were not punished and the American political elite continued to behave as outside the Law because they were treated as if they were above it. At the time, when reflecting on this subject, I said on my blog that the UN had been replaced by a Zombie and the international community pretended it was alive because there was nothing better to put in its place. Now we are seeing a real-time genocide committed by Zionists in Gaza with diplomatic support, money and weapons from the US and Europe. The UN Zombie is being decapitated by the civilized West and no one seems to care about the inevitable consequence: the possibility of the world plunging into the nuclear abyss.
Go back to US corporations backing Adolf, building up war machine and working hand in hand to make it happen. JP Morgan, Ford, GM, IBM and many other prepping way before blitzkrieg began. Even providing info to target american troops ... don't remember name of the ambassador writing to Roosevelt- if it wasn't for corporations ww2 would never have happened. Oh and evangelicals there aswell, against jewish led bolshevik movement..
Excellent interview! If one is interesred in reading what the ancient Greek poets, philosophers etc said about the incessant strife between Might and Right can study "Might and Right in Antiquity", written by the old Danish Professor Hartvig Frisch. It's very enlightening.
This is a truly important interview. Thank you Pascal for a wonderful gift

No professor not for the people it’s the UN that has to reform and get some muscle to actually do what they received billions upon billions already from the taxpayers they have to change the laws and provide security and end all wars
And even if they had the will to enforce an end to wars, what mechanism would they use?
I guess you just expect them to fight a war to end wars with a none existent army to boot.
@@catocall7323Exactly. Critiquing the UN for not acting with superior force to compel the likes of Israel to cease and desist is akin to critiquing horses for not being able to fly.
How do you do that when it's so obvious who's running the show? I guess you didn't think this through before posting your comment. 🙄

Thank you Pascal for bringing in such Intelectuals in your podcast, it is so refreshing to listen and have clear view of the issue.👍👍👍👍👍
The people are protesting thought out the world to end the genocide and stop doing business with Israeli. The students are protesting too. All are standing up against their government and businesses breakdown of law. Changing leaders in a two party system will not change anything when both parties listen to the one percent over their peoples want.
As someone from Africa, we have never considered the US as a beacon of international law or human rights. How can a country born out of the extermination of all of it’s native people and the enslavement and oppression of millions others can ever claim that title? As the professor said, we are neither blind nor stupid.
So true. When you see reality, you are free.
Prof Zaya is prophetic . smart people should lidten to him.
Could these proud Swiss please tell me why Ignazio Cassis is still a Federal Counselor?
Wasn't there a corporate coup in December 2019?
Any explanations about why, and the timing of it? Especially since General Soleimani was assasinated one month later whilst carrying a diplomatic letter. And one month after that the Crypto AG affair almost was exposed, before being buried.
As they think about that, they can then attempt to explain how Ueli Maurer was in the Oval Office when the Venezuelan Embassy was invaded.
So glad they vote for referendums and keep a strong democracy going. Did they vote to continue poisoning ourselves with pesticides?

Thank you for yet another outstanding presentation and great guest. When Prof. De Zayas says ‘in the service of this relentless eliteless oligarchical system’ and their ‘relentless brainwashing of the population,’ he’s right, but I believe there’s more to this conceptualisation. It was Derrida who said ‘there’s nothing outside text,’ in essence there’s no space outside language. Your presentation was conducted in English, the lingua franca of the world, the ideological ‘town square’ where we meet, and it is at the centre of this pace that we need to look for the source of the malady. I live in the UK, probably the most controlled and contorted ideological and material space in the world. Here the present, and by extension reality, has disappeared. The entire nation is a giant movie set, where the ruling order has, over several generations but especially in the last two decades, has literally industrialised psychosis. The actors of this expanding stage and staged reality are not ‘brainwashed’ per se, but have been duped into thinking of themselves as ‘stakeholders’ in the future tech reveries and fantasies of this ruling kakistocracy. In essence these ‘stakeholders’ are from one side hooked to the fake, ersatz narrative by their identities and on the other jacked into the system by their financial and existential life lines. No independent intellectual/ideological existence is possible outside this state’s prevailing narrative. In fact the population are just minions, constantly engaged in reading their sustaining narrative’s demands, and resonating accordingly. In short active participants in the deception, hoaxes and lies of the ‘state’ because these lies are highly lucrative to the overall economic state that sustains them. This is the dark side of what Prime Minister Thatcher called the ‘stakeholder society,’ except she didn’t then elaborate on what exactly are we meant to be stakeholders in. It is clear now that this stake-holding is in a vampiric economic system built on the proceeds of war, destruction and economic exploitation of peoples, largely in the global south. This is the essential malady of our time, not just the brainwashing but the actual corruption of the individual who has been tricked into giving up her’s or his present, of ‘being’ on their own terms into being a stakeholder into an imagined fantasy that they are paying for and will never live to see or enjoy.
Thank you for this informative interview !

Brilliant and honest!
Pascal - do check out the terms of the NATO-enforced "peace treaty" in the Serbian civil war in 1999. Both parties (Serbian and Kosovans) rejected the terms of the proposed peace treaty. One of the terms was that no US participant of the implementation of the plan (esp. the military!) would be liable for any crime committed by them. The parties were given 14 days to commit, and when they refused, NATO's bombing campaign started.
Yay! A fellow Cuban!! But where’s the rest of the interview? When is part 2 coming out?
It's not even like a theoretical debate, and there are definitely details unknown to the masses en-large for sure, but from the outside it's just mind-boggling to see political factors persisting in a set of seemingly self-harmful policies just to "show the other-side", slowly distancing from the pragmatism that hold things together for a quote a while.
Besides economic and geopolitical interests isn't the current Russofobia caused by the fact that Russian has a normal functioning society and rich culture without promoting extreme freaks and decadence as we do with passion in the collective West??

Dr Zayas:
In the circumstances that you have very frankly and honestly described, if it is the case that the US, Germany, Israel and indeed any other countries of Europe or Western World who are all members of the UNO but do not follow the International Laws and can openly breach such Laws, must be mentioned in your Geneva School of Diplomacy Official Syllabuses and covered in your study/research that so and so super powers can breach the international law without facing the consequences. It will be worth pointing out the recent Israel attack on the Diplomatic mission in Syria as a real example.
Not only this you should consider appropriate legal solutions to overcome such problems or conclude if that is an impossible idea despite all the progress we have so far made including visits to the moon. You must show the WAY forward to the World and make history, here is your chance. If you want any help/guidance on specific points, I would like to try and you can consider many draft proposals.........

i) that post-correa's ecuador was also involved in 'revoking' (no such a thing!) assange's political asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london (asylum that correa had given to assange).
ii) that swiss federal councillor r.merz lied publicly to swindle through a referendum with tax breaks for the rich BUT then the adulterated ballot result was allowed to stand even though merz was denounced and he conceded he had lied to mislead the voters.
