On this day, when nations remember those sacrificed in war, the Final Word is delivered. The World listen to what was Declared in the hearing of The Governor-General, Prime Minister, Military Brass, Ambassadors of the Nations and the Public after the solemn silence, and after the 3 Abrahamic Religions prayed to God there should be no more War. There was total silence after that as Dignitaries laid their wreaths at CanaDa’s National War Cenotaph 40 years ago, in 1985.
Hear O people and Nations, even to the ends of the Earth, the Word of the LORD God, who is, and was, and is to come, The Almighty
The LORD has a controversy with the rulers of this age and the powers they serve.
Do you do well to honour the dead, and yet deny the God of the living?
Why do you follow the vain traditions of men, and make of no effect, the Principles of God?
You come here for one hour, one day a year, in a great show of public patriotism — and then forgetting, return to the same machinery of debt and war that devours our world.
Hitler is dead — but the spirit of supremacy and genocide lives, and the military-industrial-financial empire (the Dollar Beast) holds the world hostage tighter than it was in 1985.
Therefore, this is the Word of the LORD God:Cease your genocides. Dismantle your idols of debt and weaponry. Turn to the God of the Living before the living join the dead you mourn.
THE DECLARATION: Nov. 11, 1985
DECLARATION II – THE LAST TRUMP: Nov. 11, 2025
Those with eyes wide open can see the powers of this age, now hold the world hostage to greater wars — and the very rumours of war foretold 40 years ago.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow shares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Isaiah 2
The Architect of the Indictment: Michel Chossudovsky
The indictment you are about to read comes from one of the most respected—and controversial—voices in international economics. Before you read this synopsis of his landmark 1999 article, know the voice behind this prophetic indictment.
Michel Chossudovsky is not a fringe commentator. He is an award-winning Canadian economist, a Professor Emeritus at the University of Ottawa, and the founder of the Centre for Research on Globalization (Global Research). For decades, his work has bridged rigorous academic analysis and unflinching critique, earning him a global reputation as a clear-eyed investigator into the intersections of finance, war, and power—a “Canada’s Chomsky” for his relentless exposure of corporate hegemony and empire.
His authority is built on a lifetime of documenting economic crises on the ground, across multiple continents. This vast, practical experience gave him the rare foresight to see, in 1999, the precise moment financial deregulation shifted from policy to a weapon of global instability.
The Day the Financial Firewall Fell
The crisis we are about to live through did not begin with a stock market crash. It began twenty-six years ago, with a single, fatal act of deregulation that dismantled the architecture of global finance.
In 1999, as the world celebrated a new millennium, Professor Chossudovsky issued a stark warning. He saw what others ignored: the final assembly of a financial monster—the “Dollar Beast.”
His warning was simple, yet devastating. The catalyst was the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. In one sentence: it tore down the firewall that for 66 years had kept your federally-insured savings safe from the high-risk casino of Wall Street speculation.
It allowed giant conglomerates to fuse commercial banking, investment brokerage, and insurance, creating “too big to fail” entities that prioritized reckless gambling over public good. Chossudovsky diagnosed this not as an accident, but as the deliberate architecture of a system designed to privatize gains and socialize collapse.
This is the beginning of the ongoing Economic-Financial crises Worldwide.
The Death of the Firewalls
The central turning point was the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), which revoked the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. This allowed giant conglomerates like Citigroup and J.P. Morgan to fuse commercial banking, investment brokerage, and insurance. This created a new power structure—“universal banks”—that were “too big to fail” and now prioritized reckless speculation over local investment.
“The ‘global financial supermarket’ is to be overseen by the Wall Street giants; competing banking institutions are to be removed from the financial landscape. State level banks across America will be displaced or bought up, leading to a deadly string of bank failures.”
History’s Warning Ignored
The deregulation was a culmination of decades of financial addiction. Crashes in 1987, 1997, and 1998 were prophetic warnings of volatility and global contagion. Instead of heeding these alarms, leaders proceeded with deregulation, creating a system where the government socialized the losses while private elites privatized the gains.
The Federal Reserve: Lifeline to the Supermarket
The system operates on moral hazard: Wall Street takes private risks, but the public pays for the rescue. The Federal Reserve acts less as a regulator and more as a lifeline, using unlimited bailout facilities and near-zero interest rates to ensure financial control rests with a handful of private financial dynasties.
Exporting the Supermarket: Financial Imperialism
The U.S. financial model was aggressively exported globally through the IMF and World Bank, forcing developing nations into privatization and dependency on speculative capital flows, causing global shock waves, mass layoffs, and poverty spikes.
Conclusion: The Beast System is Fully Operational
Deregulation was not an accident—it was a strategy designed to consolidate unprecedented power into a handful of private U.S. conglomerates. This financial hegemony overrides national sovereignty and subordinates citizens to a Global Financial Rule.
The crisis we are about to live through is the inevitable moment when the debt accumulated by the Beast is forcibly transferred to the citizen. This financial structure demands perpetual crisis and the ultimate sacrifice of national and personal solvency to sustain its architecture.
While the eyes of the world are on Gaza, Israeli settlers in the West Bank still behave with impunity
As the harvest season begins, attacks on Palestinian farmers and their land are spiralling. The words of peace following the Gaza ceasefire ring hollow.
Last Monday, when the US president, Donald Trump, addressed the Knesset alongside the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, my compatriot lawmaker Ayman Odeh and I raised a banner calling them to “Recognise Palestine”. We were brutally expelled by force from the parliament’s plenum, revealing the fragile state of the supposed “only democracy in the Middle East”. How can Trump and Netanyahu speak of peace in the Middle East without recognition of the people deprived for decades of their basic liberties and rights under vicious occupation?
Nowhere is the deceit more clear than in the occupied West Bank. There, the words of peace are but a weak and distant voice, but the horrifying sounds of settler violence and terror still echo loudly. More than 30 occurrences of settler violence against Palestinians have been documented since the announcement of Trump’s 20-point plan at the end of September, including physical assaults, theft of agricultural produce and torching of vehicles and property.
The rise of settler terrorism is not coincidental. This period marks the start of the harvest seasons. More than a vital economic event, it is an important social and national moment that exhibits endurance under occupation. Precisely for these reasons, year after year settlers target Palestinians during this precious time. During the 2024 harvest period, Yesh Din (an Israeli human rights group that collects and disseminates information regarding violations of Palestinians’ human rights in the West Bank) documented 113 separate incidents of violence, harassment, harvest-thwarting or damage to olive trees and crops involving Israeli civilians and soldiers, which took place on lands belonging to 51 Palestinian villages, towns and communities.
Yesh Din also found that “Israeli security forces appeared to have played a greater role in obstructing the olive harvest”. In about 70% of forceful prevention of access to lands, soldiers, border police officers and settlement civilian security coordinators (CSCs) were actually present. They either personally prevented Palestinians from accessing and harvesting in their own lands, or failed to stop settlers who harassed or assaulted them.
This comes as no surprise, as the leader of the settlers’ political party, Bezalel Smotrich, was appointed as an additional minister in the Ministry of Defence in charge of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). In Umm al-Khair, for example, a special COGAT unit uprooted private olive trees of Palestinians, citing lack of permits, but ignored violations of an illegal nearby settler outpost. Last week, the Jerusalem district court ruled to halt all building work in the outpost, which was built on lands seized by Israel and unlawfully transferred to settlers.
In the occupied West Bank, settler terrorism is nothing but a tool by the government to pursue de-facto annexation. Earlier this month, Smotrich led a march of thousands of settlers in support of annexation of the West Bank. He was quoted as saying, “We are continuing to take hold with our feet of the Land of Israel with many pioneers, many heroes, and hundreds of thousands of settlers who live in this part of the land … we need to normalise it and make it eternal.”
The settlers and their supporters in the Knesset are clear on their motives and intentions. Why, then, do political leaders in the west refrain from meaningful sanctions and diplomatic measures? Smotrich was sanctioned by the UK in June, but the effect of the sanction has been minimal. He may not be able to travel to the UK and tour the West End, but he still enjoys the ministerial power to grab lands in the West Bank. Even in the announcement of sanctions, the UK highlighted they take place “in his personal capacity” solely.
If the UK government acknowledges the reality of settler violence and its grave implications on Palestinian life, why does it still allow settlement produce to be sold in markets and shops in Britain? If Starmer is serious about recognition of Palestine as a state, how come it allows the Israeli government to violate its sovereignty with such violent means? Or was the recognition an empty ploy to shut down dissenting voices in the UK, a hollow act only to be realised in the rebranding of some maps?
A just peace must respect the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people for self-recognition, sovereignty and liberty from military occupation and siege. Only when every human being’s dignity between the river and sea is respected can we truly say peace has been achieved.
True peace requires an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel: this is the sole formula that enjoys consensus among the international community, the Palestinian national movement and the Israeli peace camp.
Trump may have inflicted pressure on Netanyahu to halt the genocide, but he probably only did so because the burden of his relationship with the pariah regime of Netanyahu had become too great. The mass protests across the globe for the liberation of Palestine, and the unwavering anti-government demonstrations inside Israel, are the real forces behind this pressure.
It is thanks to this enormous civil movement that a ceasefire has been signed, the hostages released and the people of Gaza can enjoy safeguard from annihilation. After the ceasefire agreement has been signed, it is vital to keep applying this pressure. The world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities in Gaza for too long; it must not repeat the same mistake in the West Bank.
