Leaders Must Save Face in War

Leaders Must Save Face in War

By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

Who doubts that the U.S.–Israeli war was a bad idea. Certainly not the leaders who launched it. They know the answer as well as anyone. Under natural law, an action undertaken for immoral reasons guarantees a negative outcome. Sometimes the consequences arrive immediately. Sometimes they take decades. But they arrive. And the longer corrective action is delayed, the more severe the damage becomes.

The World Scene In A Nutshell

The World Seen In A Nutshell
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

A man once stood on the bank of a river and watched two fish glide by. Out of curiosity, he called down, “How’s the water?” The fish looked at one another, puzzled, and one finally asked, “What in the world is water?” They had lived in it so completely, so constantly, that the very thing sustaining their lives had vanished from their awareness. It was too close to see.

Here Comes An End To The War

Here Comes An End To The War
By, James Qullian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

Something unusual is happening around the Strait of Hormuz, and it isn’t coming from Tehran. It’s the sudden quiet from Washington, Beijing, and Moscow — three governments that normally can’t agree on the color of the sky. When rivals stop shouting at each other all at once, it usually means they’ve discovered a shared interest. In this case, the shared interest is preventing Iran from dragging the global system into a crisis none of them can afford.

THE ETERNAL WAR

THE ETERNAL WAR

James Quillian — Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

There is only one war. It’s the big one — the one every person is born into. It doesn’t announce itself, and it doesn’t need to. It’s the permanent power struggle that sits underneath every society, every government, every era. It’s so constant and so familiar that most people never notice it at all.

Every shooting war — even the world‑shaking ones — is just a skirmish inside that larger, ongoing conflict. When one of those skirmishes ends, power doesn’t disappear. It shifts. Sometimes it scatters. More often it concentrates into fewer hands. And once that happens, the next conflict is already guaranteed.

The logic is simple:
Power corrupts. Concentrated power corrupts faster. Near‑absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The War To Justify Nuclear Power

The War To Justify Nuclear Power
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

 

 The United States and Israel intend to use nuclear weapons.  All they have to do is create a situation that justifies its usage. This is not a sudden decision. It is part of a plan covering more than a decade.

The United States has been losing its economic power while others have gained on them over the decade , and now the world is on the tipping point. The only option now is to destroy their opposition.

The Case For A Long War

The Case For A Long War
By, James Quillian, Economist Political Analyst, Natural Law

The best question that can be asked before entertaining any others is why start the war right now, six months before the November elections. Congress is a club where every member has dirt on every other member, some unrelated to Epstein. Few, if any, are safe from the impact of the Epstein files. This is similar to a Nash equilibrium: each player protects himself because any deviation risks catastrophe. Given such a dire situation, there is remarkably little noise coming out of Washington. If preventing a disaster were the goal, lawmakers would be outraged and showing it.

Who Has the Trump Cards

Who Has the Trump Cards
By James Quillian, Economist, Natural Law

Some people treat Donald Trump as a kind of savior. He tells them what they want to hear, and who doesn’t enjoy a politician who does that. Politics has long operated on that formula: flatter the public, win their votes, then pursue a private agenda. A skilled politician counts on loyal supporters to excuse every misstep as long as he continues to speak to their sensibilities. It works every time.

An Iranian Win IS A Win For Americans Overallll

An Iranian Win IS A Win For Americans Overall
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

The United States actually consists of two economies, even though it is assumed to consist of just one. Economic statistics are calculated by combining both, which hides the reality on the ground. Very smart people speak on the basis that the US Israeli war might—just might—enter a recession. None dare say depression. Smart is a good thing/, only if it is accompanied by awareness.

The Great Stock Market Conspiracy

The Great Stock Market Conspiracy

By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

Make no mistake. The stock market is the root of all power in the world today. The stock market crashes and the global power structure crumbles with it. The US/Israeli war ends if it crashes. To the elite of the world, a stock market crash is worse than an atomic bomb. .

When did the great stock market conspiracy begin? It didn’t. It never “began.” It has been running in plain sight for years, and it is running now. How do I know? Because when you think in the light of reality, it is impossible for it to be anything else. That is the Fantasy Free Advantage. Strip away the illusions and the answer sits there, obvious and unembarrassed.

End the War Possibility

End the War Possibility
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

This analysis does not rule out the possibility of a broader Arab uprising. It simply argues that the most likely path for the United States is a slow, deliberate reduction of activity through November. Not a clean exit. Not a decisive victory. A controlled bog‑down. Continue reading

The Emotion of Patriotism

The Emotion of Patriotism
by James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

Patriotism is an emotion, not a derivative of deep thinking  or even superficial thinking’s.

Emotions as good, as they may feel,  serve as tools others can and do use to manipulate people.

To say “I am an American Patriot” is the equivalent of saying I am an angry American. Leaders love patriots. Patriots are useful resources. No one needs to present a sentient argument to a patriot.  No need to convince a patriot of anything. Just tell them to jump off a cliff for the sake of their country, and they will do it.

How to Save Israel

–How to Save Israel
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

I’ll say this plainly: only Jews can save Israel. And before anything changes, each individual Jew has to decide whether Israel is worth saving in its current form. Speaking for myself, the Jewish faith is worth preserving. Zionism, as a political project, is something else entirely. Saving one may cost the other.
