The new world order isn't coming . . . it is already here.
In Weaver and Loom, we unravel the wonderment of the spiritual, natural, fate, and the divine through mythic and sacred story, biblical parables, ancient fables, and Christ-haunted narratives--getting lost in the mysteries of the our human creation so that we might grope our way to Christ and become illuminated in midsts of the mundane and sufferings of life.
The world is not going to
change the world order.
It's not going to change.
It has already changed.
A series of events have already begun,
have already been put in place that
will lead to the upheaval and the
changing of the global world order.
Now, as the west is pushed, pushing
for environmental justice in
squabbles over the alphabet agenda
and attacking the morals and Colts.
That is the very foundation of healthy
and strong societies and economies.
Well, it seems that the
west is completely asleep.
There's a complete change of
the global world order, but
the west is completely lost.
In ridiculous culture wars, ridiculous
culture squabbles, and they do not
recognize what has already come upon them.
What has already entered their house.
Now, the question for you and I,
however, is how will we respond
in who will we be friends?
Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot.
And you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot
out show where we uncover purpose, pursue
truth and own the future episode 273.
It is March 10th, 2022.
And the, the war between Russia and
Ukraine has slowed a little bit,
but it is for sure, continuing to
escalate is continuing to escalate.
I personally.
Now I'm not the world's most leading
Russian NATO geopolitical expert.
I've never pretended to be so, but
I personally have a hard time seeing
how Putin in the bear of Russia, who
is seemingly being back further and
further into a corner, finding less
and less friends across the world.
Having an economy that is being.
Currently turning more and more to Russia.
I have a hard time seeing how Putin
is going to accept this failure.
This loss.
Now there are signs that Salinsky
is going to be coming to the table
and being willing to not join NATO.
He said this week that he doesn't want to
join NATO begging on his knees to join.
And he, he may actually, uh,
let Russia annex some of.
Areas of the Ukraine
in order to buy peace.
But how long will that last?
Not sure.
NATO is continuing to
intervene on Ukraine's behalf.
Poland is sending MIGS to
Ukraine for them to use.
And the U S is saying that they're
going to backfill a lot of people.
That this is signaling that NATO
is entering this war with Russia.
There's actually, uh, a
battalion of Canadian soldiers.
There's so many Canadians fighting for
Ukraine that there's a whole battalion
of Canadian soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
And rightly so that the devastation
1.5 million almost 2 million refugees
have fled Ukraine up to this point.
Into surrounding nations, mostly Poland,
but it is hard to see how
this is going to deescalate.
And it's very easy to see how this and
many experts believe that this is the
trigger point, the trigger event that is
going to unfold into the third world war.
Just like there were trigger events
that unfolded into the first and second
world war, the assassination of France.
Led to mobilization of troops and this
unstoppable, like pulling the pin out of
a grenade and unstoppable progression.
Same thing happened in world war II.
Hitler kept on invading
more and more land.
And finally UK declared war on Hitler and
he was shocked, but it led to the, the
unraveling of Europe into world war II.
Many people believe that
this is that, that this is.
The grain of rice that tip the scales.
As we head into this new world war and
with big wars, there comes big global
restructuring of the world order.
We already talked about this.
It's like, I'm a broken
record on this show.
What happened in Afghanistan?
It wasn't the catalyst, but it was a sign.
It was a, a litmus test.
That there is a new world order that is
being established currently, and it's not
necessarily coming from global elites.
Oftentimes it's also grassroots up.
Sure.
Global leads can be affecting the
way that culture is being shaped by
the things that they fund into the
movements that they push forward.
But I think that these are
greater macro shifts that are.
Integrated into many parts of
society, not just some people in
an ivory tower, somewhere pulling
strengths, though, that of course
plays a role this week on Instagram,
I posted a poll on whether people
thought that this was true or false.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Is that true?
Or is that a fallacy?
And the split was.
45% saying that's true.
And 56% saying or 55%
saying that that is false.
And I fall on the false then.
Now of course there are times
where that is true with the
enemy of my enemy is my friend.
And if we are being attacked,
we can stand together.
Even though we might not have
a bilateral agreement and we
can face our enemy together.
But right now I'm seeing this
logic being applied to this.
Conflict specifically, specifically
from American pundits in the west.
That don't like the media.
I don't like the media.
I don't like the censorship that goes on.
I don't like MSN.
I don't like MSM BC.
I don't like the big tech censorship.
In fact, I'm kind of shocked right now.
I'm on telegram.
I use my American phone
number on telegram.
The Russian times, direction news.
Our tea is blocked on telegram
telegram, which is often considered
a censorship free platform where
you can get information to news.
Now I do not believe everything
that comes through our team.
Most of it sounds and looks like
propaganda, but in order to do this
show, I want to be able to read what
is being said by the opposing party.
Now.
Naturally not everyone is going
to be so discerning in their eye.
Not everyone is going to take everything
that comes out on the news media with a
grain of salt and they just believe it
as propaganda and they push it forward.
But the same thing is happening
in, in Russia in Russia has been
cut off from Facebook's been cut
off from CNN has been cut off from
the news American news sources.
Censorship is happening there and now.
Have pointed to that.
Look at the censorship that's
happening in, in Russia.
See, they're just a bunch of dictators.
They're a bunch of
tyrants at the same time.
Look at the, the censorship that's
happening in the west via big tech and
the further closing off of information,
I, I do not, and this is where it
comes in people then see, and they
look like, wait, MSNBC is supporting.
Uh, Ukraine and Zalinsky of the Biden
administration who got paid off by
Ukraine is supporting Solinski oh,
I'm going to, I'm going to support
Putin because he's emptying the
swamp in Ukraine and he's doing what
we wanted Trump to do in America.
That to me is so absurd.
The enemy of your enemy is not
your friend in this situation.
Putin is not your.
Uh, many other people who tend to
have a, the people that I've read.
How about I put it this way?
The people that I've seen on social
media, who I know tend to have a slant
towards antisemitism have also sided with
Putin saying, ah, and this has been on
the, on telegram and many other places.
People are saying, oh,
look who Jen's going in.
And he's not the Ukraine.
And he's kicking out the Jews
that are running the Ukraine.
And this is a great thing.
Cause he's reading the
Jews from the Ukraine.
Putin is not your friend.
Look, look at what Putin did
in the war in Syria, bombing
hundreds, bombing food lines.
These are well-documented things that.
So just because you might not like
what big tech censorship is doing.
I don't like it.
I don't like what big tech center sip chip
is doing, even in this conflict, because
I want to be able to get the information
that's coming from the other side.
I want to have a full picture, but that
doesn't mean I'm going to side with what
is happening in Ukraine against civilians.
Thanks.
Absolutely not.
He is a madman who who's off his rocker.
We are being the globe is
being led into war, war three.
I do believe I do believe
that I could be very wrong.
I hope I'm wrong because it means
there's a lot of chaos and pain and
hurt and hardship and disappointment
that will come into the world.
But how will we respond to that?
Well, before we get into our
response and some wisdom of how
to walk out, potentially this.
Season of our life, which we'll be
covering in the Weaver nuMe section.
I want to touch on how world orders
come to power, what world orders are and
how world orders get changed and fall.
How do superpowers become super powers?
Well, I was sent this.
This video is about a 30 minute video by
Ray Dalio, uh, from his book principles
for dealing with the changing world order.
And this is a 30, 40 minute
video, highly recommended.
The link is in the show notes, of
course, highly recommended, but we're
going to hit the top level thoughts
to help us see how nations and
empires rise to the top of the world.
And how they fall.
What is the progression, which that
helps us see why and what place we are in
history right now, when it comes to the
current world order, when it comes to the
current state of America's power in the
world, the dollars power in the world, and
what might happen as that shrinks as that,
it's not going to shrink slowly over time.
And right now, It still has its
dominance in the global markets,
but when the dollar is no longer
the one world, the reserve currency
of the globe, it won't just shrink.
It will crash.
Miracle will go on just like UK has gone
on just like France and the Netherlands
have gone on just like the Ottoman
empire and in different varying degrees
have go on civilizations, continue
even past their decadence in demand.
So it's not that America is going to
cease to exist, but it's definitely going
to restructure the current power and
trade and economic stability in the world
until a new world power fully emerges
and brings a level of stabilization.
But will that be a stabilization
that you and I like or want to
actually be a part of here's Ray
Dalio on, uh, a couple clips.
His new book, and this is like a
really cool infographic of video
that he's put together to really
help explain how these shifts happen.
So first we're going to dive into,
he's going to dive into the eight
principles and metrics that we look at
that determine the strength of a empire.
And it looks at how these empires.
Come up from the ashes, come
up from nothing into something.
Great.
And back into the ashes
here is Bray in this study.
I used eight metrics.
Each country's measure of total power
is derived by averaging them together.
They are.
Education inventiveness and technology
development competitiveness in global
markets, economic output, share of
world trade, military strength, the
power of their financial center for
capital markets and the strength of
their currency as a reserve currency.
So we see here that there are eight.
Areas of society that one
builds on another first.
It starts with education.
As a nation grows more educated.
They then are able to develop
new tech and become innovative.
As they grow in their innovation.
They then become competitive
in global markets.
People want to buy from them because
they have new innovative technology
that then increases their economic.
There throughout the bottom.
So you're able to have cheap labor prices.
You're not the most expensive option
on the market, but you're providing
a better product for less money.
And so the world starts to trade more and
more with that nation with, as the trade
expands, the military is able to have more
finances to protect their trade routes.
This.
Paul I'll finish this.
And then I'll say this.
This is why from the military strength,
mostly guarding trade routes and
stability of their economic, uh,
finance, financial, uh, state in the
world to protect your trade routes
because that fuels the economy exports.
They then grow into a financial center
of the world as they grow that up.
People want to buy.
The currency of that nation, whether
it was the pound or whether it was
the dollar or whether it will be
the digital yen in the future, we'll
see, they want to buy because they
know this is a stable currency.
And if I have this currency, I can
trade in this currency and it gives
me a level of stability, not only in
my nation, but in my personal life.
Well, that's how it all rises.
Now.
This is one reason we have.
About the new silk road
coming out of China.
This is why we've been talking
about the quad versus China.
This is why we talked about what
was happening in Miramar with the
revolution that took place in 2021,
because of critical trade routes.
This is everything that we're
seeing right now in Russia is.
About how pipelines are going to
play a massive role into the future
that we are not done with oil or
fossil fuels, but it is the driving
factor of energy consumption, which
maintains and strengthens nations.
We talked about these fuel lines
pipelines, the north one and two, we
talked about the Keystone pipeline.
We talked about pipelines that
are being run across Saudi Arabia.
These are all, these are all
critical infrastructures that build
an enable world power as well.
So Ray Dalio goes on to explain how
these powers rise, how these powers fall.
And I think as we, as you listen
to this, it will be very apparent.
It will be very clear.
We are right now in this cycle, which
if we can figure out where we are,
we can figure out, we can understand
and discern the hour that we're in.
And that will help us discern how
to behave, how to act, how to react.
Because if you are in a, if you
were in a market, Where everything
is going up, up, up, up, up.
You don't want to be
just stacking your cash.
You want to be buying in the market.
But if you can see that
there's about to be a crash.
What are you going to do with
your finances differently?
Same thing.
If you, if you are planting
your seeds in the middle of
winter, well, that's a bad idea.
You need to know what season you're
in to know what activity to do.
If it's in the middle of harvest
and you're just laying down.
Counting how much wheat you have and
being super stoked that you're now
so rich, but you're not out in the
field harvesting during harvest time.
You're going to lose your harvest.
We need to know the times and
the seasons that we live in.
Maybe we can't change macro
global economics, but we can
take action for our family.
Here's what.
By examining the sequences from
many countries, we can see how a
typical cycle transpires and because
the wiggles can be confusing.
We can simplify it a bit to focus
on the pattern of cause effect,
relationships that drive the rise
and decline of a typical empire.
So if you're listening on a podcast,
2.0 certified app, you can look down at
your phone right now and you can see.
The the, the different
stages of an empire.
And when he's talking about these
squiggly lines, he's talking about how
it's not just a clear one-to-one ratio.
It's these things, these different
metrics of education, trade innovation,
military are going up and down at
different points in a Empire's history,
but we can simplify it to able to see and
have a framework to know where we are.
In.
In a timeline of an empire history
relationships that drive the rise
and decline of a typical empire,
as you can see better education
typically leads to increased
innovation and technology development.
And with a lag the establishment
of the currency as a reserve
currency, you can also see that.
Forces then declined in a similar
water, reinforcing each other's decline.
Let's now.
So, as we said before, as we explained,
one point leads to the other education
leads to innovation leaves, the
competitive diff leads to economic
output, which finally leads to, but
lags to be the global reserve currency.
Well, but then as all of these.
Metrics rise.
Education begins to fall.
Innovation begins to fall.
Competitive output begins to fall.
World trade begins to fall,
and that then leads to.
And radio explains exactly
what's happening in that decline.
Typical sequence of events
going on inside a country that
produces these rises and declines.
In a nutshell, the big cycle typically
begins after a major conflict.
Often a war establishes the new leading
power and the new world order because
no one wants to challenge this power.
Peace and prosperity typically follows.
As people get used to this
peace and prosperity, they
increasingly bet on it continuing.
They borrow money to do that, which
eventually leads to a financial bubble.
The empire share of trade grows.
And when most transactions are
conducted in its currency, it
becomes a reserve currency, which
leads to even more at the same time.
This.
Prosperity distributes wealth on evenly.
So the wealth gap typically grows between
rich halves and the poor have nots.
Eventually the financial bubble bursts,
which leads to the printing of money
and increased internal conflict between
the rich and the poor, which leads to
some form of revolution to redistribute.
Well, this can happen peaceful.
Or as a civil war while the empire
struggles with this internal conflict,
its power diminishes relative to
external rival powers on the rise.
When a new rising power gets strong enough
to compete with the dominant power that
is having domestic breakdowns, external
conflicts, most typically wars take place
out of these internal and external wars.
New winners and losers, then the winners
get together to create the new world
order and the cycle begins again.
We can, we can really easily look
at what's been happening in America
in the west to see where we are in
this cycle with the current world
order, we can see that America's debt.
Well, over 20 23, 20 $4 trillion.
America keeps on printing more and
more money to satisfy their debts gone
off the gold standard long ago, we
saw in 20, 20 massive riots and unrest
across America, as, as people wanted to
redistribute wealth as their chaos within.
The global power.
And that continues today where, where
people are fighting in, fighting in
a nation over the distribution of
wealth, over global warming over,
uh, environmental justice, as,
as they are saying, environmental
justice, that printing of.
Is a sign of what's coming.
It's a sign of the eventual collapse.
Now this can be pushed off and
kicked down the road for a number of
years, decades, but we already see
with the uprising of other global
powers, challenging the strength of
America on a global scale, especially
with this current conflict with.
In light of what has recently happened
across the globe with deteriorating
relationships in the middle east,
it is clear that we will be seeing
a new world order in our lifetime.
Maybe it will be in a
number of short years.
Maybe we'll be in a number of long years.
I don't know.
And this.
This is troubling because it
means that for all of us, it is
going to be a time of unrest.
And this is not just something that,
as I said in the intro, that's coming
from global powers that be, or the new
world order a secret society somewhere.
But this is the decadence of
a society and that the moral
degregation of its character.
That then leads to cultural
values that undermine the economic
strength, the character of a nation.
Those things when that fabric of society
is completely undermined, there is no
other option, but for the fabric of
society, the fabric of that power to fall
apart and a new power to rise, this is
the course of history for hundreds and
hundreds, thousands of years, and will
continue to be the course of history.
But we are living in the middle of that
course of history and we need to know.
To defend against it, what
to do to protect ourselves.
So first, a couple of quick points before
we move on to, uh, yeah, that makes sense.
What can you and I do?
Well, first cash is.
The us dollar is going
to continue to inflate.
So if you're saving money for that rainy
day and you're saving it in the bank, in
the us dollars, that money is becoming
worth less and less and less with every
passing day and week cash is trash.
Do not forward cash.
Don't go out and buy a new
flat screen TV and a brand new
iPhone and stuff that you don't.
That's not the answer.
That's not, oh, Cassius trash.
I'm just going to spend
it on random stuff.
Nope.
Invest it.
Invest the cash that you have in assets
that will bring you back in investment.
That will bring you back the return
on your investment, whether it's
investing in real estate or whether
it's investing in your education
so that you can become someone who
has an higher economic outlook.
But do not just hold onto cash because it
is devaluing devaluing day in and day out.
Instead, take that and invest it
and begin to invest whether it's in
your yourself, whether it's in your
education, not necessarily meaning go
to university, unless you're becoming a
doctor or engineer, but invest in ways
that you can become more competitive
invest in your small business so that
it can become stronger and healthier.
Earn more than you spend or
produce more than you consume.
Again, this is not just the hoarding
of finances, but it's realizing that
there is going to, with the crushing of
the dollar, there's going to be a lot
of unrest and you want to already have
those disciplines in place to operate
in reserves, to operate in conservative.
So that you can build
something from any others.
The third point is build character
and a culture of servitude it's
through building our character and a
culture of servitude that we can help.
Because there is a turmoil and a shaking
that is coming and it's going to cause
many people to be in pain, many people
to wake up and they're going to be
looking for someone who has the vision,
strength and resources, and love and
kindness to help their community now be
being a weak person and a broke person
is not going to do anybody any good.
Do not decide.
Well, it's all going to the pot.
So.
I'm just going to kick back and be a weak
person and, you know, hopefully live off
the government and this ground around and
you know, the dollar's devaluing anyways.
So might as well just be broke.
No, there's no brownie points
for poverty instead become a
strong and a generous person.
Not you can't be strong, wealthy, and
stingy that doesn't help anyone either.
But if you are a strong and a generous
person, Who gives more than you take.
You will become a pillar in your society.
And people are going to need
that in the days to come
in a post-truth society where we've
exchanged truth for lies, and the reason
for postmodernity rationality, the
absurd finally makes sense oil prices.
What everyone's talking about due to this.
Between war between Russia and Ukraine.
And no, we did not dive into
exactly what's happening into
the Ukraine and Russia right now.
It's all over the place.
But I want to focus on this
oil point is oil was up to
$130 a barrel just yesterday.
It's at $110 a barrel when I checked
it this morning and who's responsible.
Well, here's Jen Saki in a press
conference, March 9th, I believe,
uh, saying who's responsible.
It's definitely not president Joe Biden.
It is Putin.
According to.
I'm saying, I just never imagined to see
the cost of will I be able to afford gas?
It is messaged to Americans who
we're going to the gas station today.
Sorry, here we go.
Here's sockies here's sockies response
to a question from a reporter.
The reporter was reading a.
From, uh, someone saying how
horrible the gas prices are and it's
deeply concerning here's Jen sock
is your response since message is
that he's going to do everything.
We can, everything he can to reduce the
impact on the American people, including,
uh, the price of gas at the tank.
What is also true is that because
of the actions of president Putin,
because he invaded a sovereign
country that created instantly.
In the markets that is something the
president talked about even before,
uh, Russia and president Putin
move forward with their actions.
Uh, but we have already taken steps.
The president has already taken
steps, historic release from the
strategic petroleum reserve one
that's done in a coordinated fashion.
And clearly we will continue to have
conversations with large oil producers
and suppliers around the world about
how to mitigate the impact and, and
consider domestic options as well.
So she said, And the Biden administration
says that, well, this, all these
high oil prices, really, this is just
Putin doing because Putin invaded.
All of a sudden we saw
a spike in oil prices.
It has nothing to do
with policies in America.
Well, has been here on the show
before, uh, he tweeted out just so you
know, the markets in oil prices aren't
taking or shooting up because of.
This was all going to happen anyways.
And you look at the average us dollar gas
prices and they are pretty low in 2020.
And then 2021 comes around.
A new president is seated and the
gas prices climb, climb, climb, and
begin to spike before Russia invades.
Here is, uh, some more facts on
the actions that Biden has taken.
This is from unwoke
narratives are unwell media.
They compiled a list from NPR and
Axios, from sources on actions and
gas prices that Biden has taken since
he became president in January, 2021,
when the gas price was $2 and 33 cents.
Again.
Through an executive order.
Biden began halting oil and gas
leasing on federal lands and water.
Same same time when he became
president Biden, directed government
agencies have limit eliminate
fossil fuel subsidies by 2022.
Come May, 2021.
When gas is at three 11 gallon Biden
administration pressures, big bang.
Divest from traditional
energy investments, AKA
fossil fuels in June, 2021.
Biden revoked the permit and
canceled the Keystone XL pipeline
gas prices are up to three 15.
August, 2021 prices are at 3 25.
Called on Russia and OPEC to increase
their oil production, to counter
the rising gas prices instead of
increasing domestic production.
It's it makes no sense.
He's calling for other nations to increase
their oil exports, which would strengthen
their nation so that we can import their.
Which was only going to
weaken the U S economy.
I mean, decisions like these are
definitely leading to the restructuring
of a new world order August, 2021
gases at 3 25 increased regulations and
scrutiny to punish and sanction the fossil
fuel industry, December, 2020 1, 3 39.
Bolton bite halted, federal aid
for new fossil fuel projects.
February 22nd, 2022, just moments
before the Russian invasion.
So this is before the Russian
invasion, when gas is at three 90
Biden, delayed issuing new oil and gas
drilling, permits, and federal land.
So he's doing everything to stop America
from producing more oil, which leads
to its economic strength and trade.
And instead we're doing.
The us dollar to other nations and
asking them to pump more oil, March 8th,
2022 Biden banned Russian oil imports.
Other Europeans have not followed
suit hurting America more than Russia.
Russia is just going to turn
around and send the oil to China.
They'll find places to sell, sell it.
Gas is now over $4 a gallon for 25.
This has been a slow increase
over a number of months.
Why, why, why would the Biden
administration being doing this?
Well, the Biden administration has limited
fossil fuel production and did little
to lessen its dependency with a lower
supply and consistent demand, high prices.
Aren't surprising.
They're expect.
And this is an open strategy
to push the American public, to
switch for renewable energies.
They're saying, Hey, I know, I know how
we can get people to buy a new electric
car besides the fact that they're awesome.
We can make gas really high.
And then when people complain about not
being able to pay their gas bill, we can
say, Hey, go out and buy an electric car.
If that's too much, if
you can't afford gas by.
But you can't afford gas.
I don't think you're going to be
able to afford an electric car.
Well, in the turn of ironies, where
does Biden turn to try to find an
ally in his current oil crisis?
Well, none other than Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Emirates.
The Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin
Salman and UAE Sheikh Mohammed bin
Zayed on that here both declined the
U S his request to speak with Mr.
Biden in recent weeks.
The U S official that the officials
say that as Saudi and MRID officials
have become more vocal in recent.
Saudi and UAE are not happy
with America's lack of support.
And they both declined to requests from
Putin to say, Hey, let's get on the call.
We need to talk about Saudi and
UAE increasing their oil supply.
The region here is becoming the
relationships and becoming strained due
to the war in Yemen and due to Americans
policies in the Gulf under Trump, it
was very, very strong, but Biden has
definitely taken steps away even as
the UAE was bombed by who the rebels.
And we talked about that here on the
show, the Saudis, this a wall street
journal report says the Saudis have
signal that the relationship with
Washington has deteriorated under Biden.
They want more support for their
innovation in Yemen, civil war help
with their own civilian nuclear program
is Iran moves ahead and legal immunity
for Muhammad bin Salmaan who faces
lawsuits over the killing in 2018 and
Morati share the same concern about
restrained us response to recent missile
strikes by Iran back who the militants
from Yemen in Yemen against the U S.
And Saudi Arabia, both governments
are concerned about the revival of
the Iran nuclear deal, which doesn't
address other security concerns of
theirs and has entered into the final
stages of negotiation in recent weeks.
So here's America side.
Again, this is what the
Obama administration did.
They're siding with Iran who is
not our allies, not Americans,
allies, not the collegiate allies.
Once you develop Iran wants to develop
nuclear weapons to bomb people in America.
The Biden administration decides that.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
We're going to play into that.
We're going to give and cut a deal
with Iran, UAE and Saudi, not happy.
Moreover, they, the Saudis and Emiratis
have declined to pump more oil.
Seeing that they're sticking
with the production plan.
Between their group and OPEC,
the organization of petroleum
exporting countries and a group
of other producers led by Russia.
The energy Alliance with Russia, one
of the world's top oil producers has
enhanced OPEX power while also bringing
Saudi Emre and MRIs closer to Moscow.
So in order for them to the UAE
and Saudi Arabia, Produce more oil.
They'd have to break an
agreement with OPEC and Russia.
And frankly, because of the geopolitical
situation and the deteriorating
relationships with America, they're
saying, Hey, you're over a barrel.
Quite literally, you're stuck.
You got yourselves into this problem.
You created these dynamics
in our relationship.
Your power has waned.
Your position has.
We are not going to bow to you anymore.
If you want to cut a deal with
us, we can cut a deal, but
you need to fix these areas.
We're not just going to blatantly go along
with what you're saying and what you're
doing as you destroy your own economy.
Bold move by UAE and by Saudi Arabia,
one that I frankly agree with.
I.
It's like my, the old adage.
My problem is your emergency
is not my problem, or your
problem is not my emergency, I
guess, is how it actually goes.
Interestingly enough,
however, Mohammed bin Salmaan
and shake Mohammed did not here did
take calls and talk to president
Vladimir Putin last week after
declining to speak with president.
And they also both spoke with Ukraine's
president and the Saudi officials who
said that, uh, the us has requested
that prince Mohammad bin Salman mediate
the conflict, which he said the kingdom
of Saudi Arabia is embarking on.
So here Saudi Arabia is
saying, you know what?
We are going to work to mediate
between Russia and Ukraine.
We're not going to play this
American geopolitical nonsense.
So we're going to try
to find a middle ground.
Why, why would they do that?
Because they see that the power of
America on a global scale is shifting.
They know that sooner or later
the U S dollar will no longer be
the reserve currency of the world.
There are new digital currencies from
government organizations springing up.
There will be a new one world
currency, and they are being wise to.
Figure out, where are they going
to land when everything comes down?

We'll be right back with our
closing Weaver and loom segment.
Welcome back to Weaver and Luma part
of the show where we take ancient
wisdom and we weave it in with our
everyday lives so that we can own
our future and we've our destinies.
But with these global shakings, with
the global trauma, Many of our hopes
and dreams are going to be dashed.
Many of our, the way that we thought
that our lives, the world would go
to probably not going to turn out
the way that we thought in the midst
of that disappointment in the midst
of that pain and the midst of that
suffering, how will we respond?
What will be our response
in the midst of all.
Well, there is a, a verse from
scripture from the Bible that get this.
This one gets me every time
when I read this one, I think
to myself, oh my goodness.
I, I need to watch my heart.
And it says now the just, or the
righteous shall live by faith.
Faith is faith is the
things that you can see.
With the eyes of your heart, the
things that you believe and know
to be true, the promises that
you believe are over your life.
That is faith.
So we, the, just the ones who live in
walk, rightly in the earth, don't live
by what they see with their natural eye.
But they live by the eyes of faith.
They see something that is not as
though it is, and they pull it into the
future and they manifest it through.
Through putting your hand to the plow
and it goes on and says, but if anyone
draws back or other versions, say if you
shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure
in him where I have no delight in him.
I will not be pleased with him.
Those people who live and walk,
rightly you just sleep in the earth.
They live by faith, not sight, not by
what they feel, not by what they see
around them, but they live by seeing
a future and living for promises that
they know they're meant to fulfill,
but have not yet been fulfilled yet.
There's probably delays in those promises.
But if anyone shrinks back, if anyone
checks out, if anyone says, you know what?
Just.
You know what the situation
is just too complex.
You just don't understand.
I'm just going to kind of check out if you
shrink back, God has no pleasure in you.
No delight in you.
And this is a startling statement.
This statement is one that should cause.
To really think about how we are
engaging our carts, our lives and
our thoughts in the coming weeks and
months and years, because we will all
face trials and suffering in our life.
Just as I explained, a few weeks ago,
we suffered a miscarriage that really
just, you know, hit my wife's and
I's heart and just real complex way.
And it can be really easy
for me to either grow.
For shrink back or say, yes,
this is just too complex.
Just kind of give up a little bit, just
kind of compromise on, on the dreams
in my heart a little bit, because it's
just a little too painful to live.
Feels like everything is dead right now.
Everything is dead in the grave
and I could just, I could check out
and no one would fault me for it.
No one would be like, yeah, it's,
it's just, it's just hard, you know?
Sometimes these things just don't
work out the way that you think.
And I could allow my
heart to grow callous.
It's not feel that pain and feel that
emotion and press on through it, or,
or instead of having my courage shrink
up and shrivel up and shrink back
into my cave and just choose comfort.
Be like a lion and I could press forward.
I could demand in my life to
fulfill the promises that I
know and believe and believe for
them, even when I don't see them.
And that to do that, it requires
you and I, you requires us
to allow our hearts feel.
To allow our hearts be touched by
suffering to allow our hearts, to feel
the complexities that we face, where
we say, I have dreams to be this.
I have promises to be this.
I know this is what I am called to do.
I know this is what I'm called to do.
And yet I thought it would be here by now.
I thought I'd experienced.
And we hold on to the tension in that
place and we don't stop doing good.
We don't stop fighting
for what we believe.
We don't trunk back.
We don't let our, our courage
shrivel up like dried raisins.
Instead we move forward with boldness,
even when it looks crazy, even when it
makes no sense, even when everyone says.
World order is changing, you know, just
stack food in your fridge and dried,
dried, stored food and just, you know,
play it safe and go off the grid.
And don't ever talk to people again.
Or you can say I'm going to stand
up as a pillar, as a standard in
society, and I'm going to maybe.
Change the macro global economics.
Maybe I'm not going to
touch millions of lives.
Maybe I'm not going to slow down or
speed up any new world order process,
but I can help the people around me.
And one of the ways that you can
help people around you is by sharing
this podcast with them, you can
text it to them, WhatsApp it to
them, or posted on social media,
but the greatest way that you can.
Your friends around you is by sharing
things that you get value from, rather
than just ordering them to yourself.
If you have a question and what's

And I will respond to you.
Thank you so much for your time today
as the world shifts and changes.
Remember the enemy of your enemy
does not necessarily mean that your
friend be careful who you side and
align with as the tides across the
globe are changing and more so align
inside with character and morals and
values to go out and own the future.
