India and Israel lose their US-backed dominance in Asia

Perceptions matter. In recent military clashes, through calibrated military and diplomatic maneuvers, Islamabad and Tehran have upended Tel Aviv and New Delhi’s narrative of invincibility and ruptured Washington’s preferred balance of power in Asia.

Leaders Of Armenia, Azerbaijan To Sign Peace Deal During Washington Visit: Report

The two countries reached a comprehensive agreement in March, yet Baku has demanded a change to the Armenian constitution

Armenia and Azerbaijan will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Washington later this week, mediated by US President Donald Trump, according to sources cited by Middle East Eye (MEE) on 4 August.

“Trump will host Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the White House for the signing ceremony,” the sources said, adding that the MoU aims to “commit to the pursuit of peace.”

The two officials had met in July in Abu Dhabi.

They are expected to sign a “letter of intent” during the Washington meeting, rather than a draft peace deal, the sources went on to say.

“Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov called his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Monday to inform him about the summit … Fidan discussed bilateral and regional issues with Bayramov,” a third source told MEE.

Foreign Investors Help Israeli Economy 'soar' Despite Multiple Wars, Growing Isolation

The UN rapporteur for Palestine revealed last month that international corporations were helping sustain Israel’s economy, landing her on a US sanctions list

Israel’s financial markets have been soaring despite almost two years of war on several fronts, data released on 5 August revealed.

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange’s benchmark index jumped 21.3 percent in the first half of this year, marking an outperformance of nearly all other international markets. This has been driven mainly by investors outside of Israel.

Stocks belonging to insurance and financial services firms, particularly, have done significantly well, rising by 68 percent.

Israel’s shekel also remains among the leading global currencies.

According to the Startup Nation Central NGO, January through June marked the strongest six months for Israeli tech funding.

This illusion is being peddled by this New Right, an uber-authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, neoconservative sector of the political sphere maintaining themselves as faux populists while retaining all of the inherent systemic supremacies of the typical US oligarchy. They are a branch of that same oligarchy, draping themselves in a pax-Americana to be presented as a bulwark against the “woke left”; seemingly preserving traditional American values against the encroaching dregs of Marxism through a veil of pseudo-patriotism. A new polarity in the old paradigm.

This polarity has contributed to the political rise of figures already entrenched in the orbit of the likes of Peter Thiel...

Established by... founder of the mercenary group Blackwater USA, Erik Prince, the group’s members are a who’s who of far-right personalities...

... several notable figures among the groups approximately 400 members are as follows —

2008 WAPO article... “Game for Pizza” which

states “Among the VIP regulars [of Comet Ping Pong] are ballet director Septime Webre and talking head Tucker Carlson, but even Donald Rumsfeld has dropped by for a pie.”

Worth noting that Nora Maccoby claimed that the neighborhood she grew up in was “pretty much 80% CIA operatives." (neighborhood being the same on Comet Ping Pong Pizza resides in).

"As I was trying to finish this article, Tucker Carlson decided to host Kevin Spacey for his Christmas Eve show. He prefaced the show by saying Kevin Spacey may be the man to join the presidential race and shake up America’s politics. 🤷‍♂️

...Tucker did not bring up Kevin Spacey flying on Epstein’s Jet to Africa with Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein. [Instead he seemed to be platforming him for a presidential campaign].
