Hey hey Bitcoin Wealth Builders,

This week, we're diving into the meeting between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and Donald Trump, the announcement of a trillion-dollar deal, and its massive, misunderstood consequences for the Middle East—and particularly for Israel. Let’s break down the forces nobody in mainstream media is able to connect.

1. The Original Sin: How a 50/50 Oil Deal Sealed Saudi's Fate with America

To understand today's geopolitical shifts, you have to follow the money back to its source. After discovering massive oil reserves in the 1930s, Saudi Arabia was wary of foreign powers. They had watched the British Empire’s actions in Iran, where companies like British Petroleum were used to effectively colonize the nation's resources.

Seeking a counterbalance, the Kingdom chose to partner with the emerging American Empire. This decision led to the famous "perpetual 50/50 agreement." Under this deal, US companies would handle the complex process of oil extraction, and the profits would be split evenly with the Kingdom. This arrangement locked in American involvement in Saudi Arabia for decades, setting the stage for a relationship built on oil, power, and eventual betrayal.

2. The King Who Fought Back: Faisal's Oil Embargo and His "Coincidental" Demise

By the mid-20th century, Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of King Faisal, began to align with a broader Arab vision to use its oil as a political weapon. This idea came to a head in 1973. During the Yom Kippur War, when the United States and other Western nations provided support to Israel, King Faisal led the Arab world in imposing a punishing oil embargo.

This act weaponized oil on a global scale, causing a massive economic crisis in the West and demonstrating the immense power of the oil-producing nations. It was a direct challenge to the American Empire.

Then, in 1975, King Faisal was assassinated by his nephew. Immediately following his death, the US-Saudi strategic partnership "coincidentally" accelerated. By 1976, a covert intelligence alliance called the "Safari Club" was formed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and others, with behind-the-scenes US support. This shadowy coalition operated outside normal diplomatic channels to counter Soviet influence, reinforcing a strategic alignment that would serve American interests for decades to come.

3. The Real Power Structure: Propping Up the Dollar with Debt and Death

This historical context is critical because it gave rise to the system I call the "Proof of Weapons Network." This is a debt-based Ponzi scheme engineered to perpetuate global chaos, funnel trillions to the military-industrial complex, and create artificial demand for the US dollar.

When you follow the money, the mechanics of this network become clear. It operates in a vicious cycle:

A terror event is manufactured to radicalize a population.
This justifies massive military spending and intervention.
Taxpayer money is laundered into major corporations (defense, finance, etc.).
This creates artificial demand for the dollar, perpetuating a system backed by death and destruction.

Within this framework, Israel is not the sovereign power it purports to be. The media narrative—which Israel actively promotes for fundraising and deterrence—is that it rules the world. The reality is that it is merely a function of the military-industrial complex, a "useful idiot" used as a destabilizing force to justify the forever war model.

"Israel is committing crimes against humanity but they're just simply a proxy in a colony of the US with plausible deniability. So that you get to do all the criminal stuff through Israel, pretend that you're not doing it because it won't get via Congress and the Constitution. And then, when you no longer need the operation, you can dump it, and that's what we're seeing right now."

4. The Great Geopolitical Shift: Why the Forever War Is Ending

The old petrodollar system, built on conflict, is being dismantled. The critical consequence of this shift is that two global factions of power have been brought into direct competition. To understand how this is possible, we must follow the money to its new destination.

First, America’s fracking boom made it an energy exporter, turning it into a competitor with the Gulf states.

Second, and most importantly, China has become the largest customer for Saudi, Iranian, and Russian oil. This provided the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries with vast sovereign wealth—the financial firepower needed to buy their way out of the old system.

This leverage allowed the GCC to partner with the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC)—represented by figures like Trump and institutions like BlackRock, whose board includes a member from Saudi Aramco—to fund their own decolonization.

This has created a global tug-of-war:

The Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), represented by figures like Netanyahu, profits from the chaos of the "forever war model." Their narrative is pushed by media outlets like Axios.
The Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC), represented by Trump and BlackRock, now sees greater profit in regional stability, rebuilding, and investment. Their narrative is pushed by outlets like the Financial Times.

The FIC wants regional stability to profit from rebuilding what the MIC destroyed. And with China's money funding the GCC's ambition, the FIC has found a powerful new partner.

5. The Trillion-Dollar Pivot: Saudi Arabia Buys a New Future

The recent meeting between Trump and MBS signals that the FIC's vision is taking control. The announcements reveal a complete realignment of power, with Saudi Arabia using its sovereign wealth to purchase a new future.

A commitment for a $1 trillion Saudi investment into the United States, buying technological and corporate influence.
A major reversal of US policy, allowing the export of advanced AI chips to Gulf tech giants.
A deal for a civil nuclear program, with American companies designated as the partner of choice.
A deal to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.

The most significant announcement, however, was a formal designation that fundamentally changes the power dynamics in the Middle East, a move that makes the FIC's victory undeniable.

"Tonight I am pleased to announce that we are taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally that strategically weakens Israel significantly."

6. The Endgame: How This Deal Makes Israel Obsolete

This trillion-dollar deal weakens Israel by making its primary strategic function obsolete. In the new world order driven by the FIC and the GCC, regional stability is paramount. Therefore, Israel's role as a "destabilization proxy" for the MIC is "no longer needed."

We are witnessing a "managed strategic divorce"—a ruthless and calculated maneuver to sideline Israel while allowing the American empire to exit with plausible deniability. The specific tactics of this divorce are already in motion:

Narrative Warfare: I broke e figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are being used to "de-radicalize the Christians" and shift blame for decades of conflict onto Israel.
Blackmail and Leverage: The Epstein files, controlled by the "banksters" of the FIC, are being threatened as leverage against the MIC-aligned political class to ensure they stay in line.
The Ultimate Scapegoat: The core strategy is to make Israel take the blame for the genocides that were used to prop up the US dollar, turning it into a pariah state while the true architects of the system walk away clean.

This entire transition is possible because Saudi Arabia and its GCC partners have accumulated enough sovereign wealth to resist the old paradigm and partner with the FIC to decolonize the region on their own terms.

Conclusion: A New World Order Is Being Built on Money, Not Morals

We are living through a historic transition away from the US-dollar-backed forever war model. This monumental shift is not being driven by the political theater you see in the media, but by the raw, calculated flow of money and a battle for control between the Military-Industrial Complex and the Financial-Industrial Complex.

When you follow the money, the entire narrative collapses. It leaves us with one final, critical question to consider:

"If an enemy can become an asset and the entire geopolitical order can be reset for profit, what does that tell us about the real nature of the conflicts that have defined our world for the last 20+ years?"
