On May 10th, 2025, something extraordinary happened—not through an official statement, a global summit, or a diplomatic accord, but live, in real time, during an X Space discussion titled: “Donald Trump to Announce a Palestinian State.”

The host, @SpeakWithDeeDee, opened the conversation emotionally charged, speaking for millions who have waited their entire lives for a moment like this. 

“Simon Dixon said this,” 

she told the audience. 

“He’s been saying it.” 

And while the title of that Space may have seemed unbelievable at first glance, what followed confirmed what I have long understood: the world is no longer under Western management.

Donald Trump did not allegedly say he would recognize a Palestinian state out of statesmanship or moral clarity. He did it because he had no choice. This wasn’t leadership. This was capitulation. The empire is bankrupt—morally, economically, and strategically. And the geopolitical game has changed forever.

The true story of how we arrived at this point has nothing to do with peace accords and everything to do with power—and more importantly, who holds it now.

The Real Announcement Wasn’t Trump’s—It Was the End of Empire

What we’re witnessing is not a gift of recognition. It’s the symptom of a collapsing order. The American empire, propped up by fiat currency, military dominance, and global violence, is now exposed. Its power was always a Ponzi scheme—backed not by real productivity, but by debt, surveillance, and war.

The US playbook has been consistent for 80 years: destabilize, divide, dominate, extract. Palestine was never an exception—it was the model. And Israel, for the Western machine, was not a moral commitment. It was a military base disguised as a democracy.

That model has now failed. The dollar is maxed out. The military-industrial complex is bleeding credibility. And the petrodollar no longer holds sway over the Middle East. The financial system that sustained occupation and war simply doesn't have the balance sheet to keep it going.

China Wasn’t Just Involved—It Engineered the Shift

This moment belongs, in large part, to China. And I don’t say that lightly.

China didn’t just offer support from the sidelines. It restructured the global order. It brokered the normalization between Saudi Arabia and Iran—something the West never imagined possible. It created an environment in which Arab nations could stand on their own economically, no longer forced to bow to U.S. foreign policy in exchange for IMF debt slavery loans.

The BRICS alliance, underpinned by China’s manufacturing base, Russia’s energy, and Iran’s resistance economy, became a checkpoint for Western hegemony. A Multipolar World Order (MWO). And when Saudi Arabia refused normalization with Israel unless a Palestinian state was recognized, it was not necessarily an ideological stance. It was a power move backed by trillions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) sovereign wealth, strategic independence, and Chinese leverage.

“This was China’s plan. They executed it to perfection.”

Those weren’t off-the-cuff words. That was the diagnosis. China flipped the board. The West hasn’t just lost control of the game—it’s not even setting the rules anymore.

Zionism: From Global Asset to Toxic Liability

The collapse wasn’t just ideological—it was financial. Zionism, long a reliable geopolitical investment for the US military industrial complex, has become unprofitable. That’s the part the media can’t say out loud, but the markets already know.

Israel’s bonds are toxic. Real estate is collapsing. Insurance premiums are astronomical. Foreign investment is fleeing. Companies that supported the Israeli government are facing international lawsuits, sanctions, and boycotts. The ICJ ruling in the South Africa genocide case was not symbolic—it laid the legal foundation for trillions in liability for the arms dealers and financial institutions that underwrote occupation.

I believe BlackRock, the quiet superpower behind global capital, isn’t backing Israel anymore because of moral awakening. It’s backing out because genocide is no longer a good investment.

And when genocide becomes uninvestable, the empire can’t fund its wars. That’s how Palestine will eventually win—not because the world suddenly found its conscience, but because the ledger turned red.

The October 7th Gambit—and the Failure of Ethnic Cleansing

The October 7th attacks were never just about violence. They were a geopolitical move and a propagandised military operation that was tragic, but I also believe Israel knew about it when you look at the evidence, supported by the U.S., to trigger the final phase of an ethnic cleansing operation. The strategy was to push Palestinians into Egypt, package it as humanitarian relocation, and seal Gaza permanently.

The IMF was mobilized to pressure Egypt. U.S. media ran interference, framing resistance as terrorism despite the illegal occupation ruling and international law. Netanyahu had a deadline—clear the land before the next administration.

But Egypt refused. Jordan stood firm. Iran backed the resistance. And, most importantly, the people of Gaza didn’t leave. They resisted.

And because of that, the strategy failed. When the ethnic cleansing failed, so did the economic model behind it. That model required displacement. It required silence. It required a complicit Arab League. None of that held.

That’s when the empire blinked.

Palestine Is Being Bought Back—Not Granted

Let’s be clear: this isn’t a gift. This isn’t justice. This is restitution at a discount. Palestine maybe recognized now because its recognition became the only profitable exit strategy.

In my opinion, Trump didn’t lead this. He followed orders—from BlackRock, from Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia (MBS), from the new economic order that emerged while America was chasing ghosts of oil wars past. If he gets a Nobel Prize, he should mail it to Riyadh.

What we’re seeing now is the acquisition of what was colonized—land, tech, infrastructure—by the very nations the US once called "backward." But they played the long game. They built wealth. They built coalitions. And now they’re buying back the world the West tried to steal.

From Resistance to Renaissance

This moment didn’t happen in a vacuum. It happened because people made it happen.

Every protestor. Every student who risked arrest. Every journalist who reported the truth. Every BDS supporter who took flak. Every Space host. Every voice that refused to shut up.

You made this happen.

The resistance was never just in Gaza. It was in London, in New York, in Johannesburg, in Kuala Lumpur. It was on campuses, in bank divestments, in Bitcoin fundraisers, in art, in code, in relentless refusal.

What we’re entering now isn’t a conclusion—it’s a renaissance. The Global South is rising. The petrodollar is fading. The West, addicted to its own mythology, is now suffering the same austerity, surveillance, and state violence it once outsourced.

History is not just being rewritten. It’s being repossessed.

Palestine Will Be Free—Because We Made It So

This is not over. Gaza is still suffering. Children are still dying. The empire still lashes out. But the tide has turned, irreversibly.

Palestine will not be free because Trump allowed it. It will be free because people around the world refused to give up.

Because China flipped the rules.

Because BRICS held the line.

Because Israel failed to erase.

Because the resistance never died.

Because genocide is now a losing trade.

Because truth leaked through every algorithm, and people chose to watch.

Palestine will be free. Not because it was granted. But because it was taken back.
