RECORDED ON FEBRUARY 2nd 2024.
Dr. Abraham Newman is a Professor at the School of Foreign Service and Government Department at Georgetown University. Known for his research on the politics generated by globalization, he serves as a frequent commentator on international affairs, appearing on news programs ranging from Al Jazeera to Deutsche Welle and NPR. He is a 2022-2023 Berlin Prize winner and his work has been published in leading outlets like the New York Times, the Washington Post, Nature, Science, and Foreign Affairs. His latest book, together with Henry Farrell, is Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy.
In this episode, we focus on Underground Empire. We first discuss in what ways the US is an (underground) empire. We talk about the development of the global banking system and the role played by the internet. We discuss the US government's response to 9/11. We talk about how the US can make use of global networks to cut entire countries out of the global economy. We discuss the influence of the European Union and China on the global stage, and the political relationship between the US and China. We talk about the benefits and vulnerabilities of globalization. Finally, we discuss how we can leverage the global networks to better serve the interests of the global population.

    Meaning replacing the law of the jungle (the Security Council) with a supreme court that judges according to international law and the interest of humanity as a whole, instead of the Jungle Law Council, which serves the interest of specific countries (members of the Security Council).

    It is not difficult for both Germany and Japan to complete commercial transactions between them using the yen and the euro, and they do not need the dollar as a financial reference! But this is mostly due to the bank transfer system (the language of electronic banking transactions) and the fact that Germany and Japan were countries occupied only a few decades ago by the same country that still has great influence over both of them.

    44:00 As long as the global financial system is controlled by one country and imposes its currency on that system, basically there is no room for improving a system that they do not own (it is not a partnership, but rather governed by one dominant party that imposes conditions that are consistent with its own interests), to be able to improve it!

    The global financial system is not supposed to be linked to a specific country’s currency, but rather to an independent currency agreed upon by all countries and reflecting the true value of each country’s currency based on the economic power, natural and technological resources it possesses, etc. Establishing a real international bank instead of the current fraudulent bank, and rebuild UN without the Security Council and replace it with a supreme court independent of politics.

    This might be more clear: Suppose you live in a country that has its own currency but uses the dollar for commercial transactions, what would that mean? Your currency will lose part of its value and will become part of the financial system dominated by the currency of a specific country. Therefore, the currency used in global financial transactions must not belong to a specific country, but rather a new currency or financial system agreed upon by all countries. What does the currency represent?!

    Yes, apart from the Compliments, your guest’s thinking is closer to the thinking of a pimp than a person who has his own independent thinking! This is what prevails in the world of great pimps! that’s the truth whether you liked it or not, Sometimes telling the truth (the reality of the situation) as it is seems embarrassing and impolite, but facing the truth is better than flattering in the world of foolish pimps! If you do not like this, then you have become addicted to the world of foolish pimps!

    Can you comprehend ?! When the currency of a specific country is the reference for international financial transactions, that country is the main beneficiary of those global commercial transactions. For example, you own a precious metal like gold and you exchange it with the currency that dominates the global financial system, so what will happen?! This was applied to all people in all countries of the world. The main beneficiary of all of this is the country that owns the currency that dominates the global financial system (this poses a danger to countries with weak economies, etc.).

    It depends on the type of globalization! Globalization that facilitates and encourages trade exchange,…etc is not the same as globalization that is conditional on a specific financial system that controls it! It seems that slaves think differently!

    6:30 that is not true, as the dominant companies have become mere tools and are not the ones who manage the economy and the financial system, and the information they possess is the property of the ruling lobby (the matter seems intertwined, as if the government and security services are working under the cover of the ruling lobby). Big companies have been limited to making money, while the rest becomes the government's business.

    Which is better? Describing the foolish pimp with the correct description or flattering the world of pimps?! What is the benefit of flattering the world of pimps?! To become a pimp too?! What you don’t like doesn’t mean it’s not the truth!

    29:00 He wants Alibaba to use the Chinese currency! But the company's customers are from different countries of the world, which is controlled by the electronic payment system that relies on the US dollar! The current financial system was established several decades ago, and it is not easy to build a new financial system that users from different countries of the world can trust. This requires an alliance of several countries with advanced economic and industrial capabilities, a unified financial system, and their own Internet, and who controls the current financial system. They will not be allowed to escape easily, as the issue is not what China wants by imposing its currency, but rather the reality. Is there a country that does not want to impose the existence of its national currency? Does the owner of Alibaba knows better than the Chinese government?!

    33:50 this man has nothing to do with economy, globalisation based on the current standards is so dangerous (global financial and economic collapse is a matter of time), but the existence of more than one dominant financial system is less dangerous.

    Imagine that I own a bank and a currency that dominates global financial transactions, what will happen?! Then when people around the world use that currency, the biggest winner is the owner of that dominant currency because all those commercial transactions will become part of the financial system that I control myself, and if you liquefy the gold that you own into the currency that I own, then the biggest winner is me and I can I can print as much currency as I want because I control the global financial system and no one will notice the defect in the global financial system, and I can carry out fraudulent operations to avoid the deficit resulting from excessive spending. This will mean that the ones who will bear the deficit as a result of my excessive spending are others, not me. it’s possible that You will work for me for free without even realizing it.

    42:30 Could Russia have invaded Kiev and changed the government within a maximum of two weeks?! Was what is currently happening in Ukraine agreed upon between Russia and the United States in advance? It looks like a war of attrition and not a real war (reshuffling the cards with the aim of maintaining dominance). Russia is known to have been used as a punishment for countries that do not agree with the United States (underdevelopment and poverty). Russia has been used as a harsh punishment against some countries.

    42:00 no one served US as Russia did, it represented by the former Soviet Union, served it. Russia had military cooperation with US even during what was called the Cold War. US found its target in Russia as an imaginary weak enemy (it needs that faked weak enemy) that it used to justify what it was doing. Russia was used as a punishment for some countries, for example it punished Cuba through Russia's support for it led to its backwardness for nearly a hundred years. Russia is famous for manufacturing a certain weapon and only vodka, and Russia transferred intelligence information to US against Russia's alleged allies. Russia recently allied itself with a member of NATO, namely Turkey, to occupy and plunder some African countries..

    Read carefully: You own the money and technology and I own the intelligence agencies and the army (I control the state). Who is stronger in this situation? I can easily make you just a tool.
