Vanessa Beeley’s Historical Account of Our Era

22 May 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

Vanessa Beeley, in a May 17th youtube and at her Substack, provided a whirlwind summary of the final stages of what I would call the world’s descent into the modernized form of ideological nazism, which is a world that tolerates and even rewards racist-fascist-supremacist imperialism and the types of operations that were described from the perpetrator’s standpoint in the landmark book by John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hitman — he having been one who, as a key agent of U.S. billionaires, finally decided that he had to stop being a member of such an evil organization (including the fields of finance, government, and international organizations such as the IMF — all of the system that was set up by the Truman Administration after WW2 in order for the U.S. to ultimately take over the entire world).

Beeley went beyond merely what she has personally known as a great investigative journalist who is based in the Middle East, and connected all of this to the broader picture, so that what is now happening in the world can be truthfully understood:

15:50

INTERVIEWER: Is there a big lack of anti-imperialist

15:56

consciousness in many parts of West Asia that explains why it seems that there

16:03

are so many people celebrating actually the rule of al-Julani [the al-Qaeda leader that America, Turkey, Israel, and Qater, armed and installed to run Syria] or are we missing,

16:10

missing things, uh, what is your conception of what is going on right now

16:16

over there, and maybe we can start with you, uh, Vanessa. BEELEY: Yeah, I mean I think um look you know the

16:24

the education process in certain countries within West Asia has been

16:30

changed as a result of the, uh, Jared Kushner created Abraham Accords that of

16:37

course were brought in under the last Trump administration, um, I think both Fee [Fiorella Isabel] and I agree that, you know, American

16:44

politics is is a circus, uh, presidents are brought in [are funded into power by the billionaires] to run certain sections

16:50

of the deep state [which is those billionaires — the controlling owners] Pentagon road map, they're not actually elected, they're

16:56

chosen [by their mega-donors] to to run a certain period of time, and Trump is always um the economic

17:02

hitman, he's always the one that's going to come in bringing the hope of

17:08

negotiations while at the same time of course during his last administration he

17:13

assassinated [Iran’s Qasem] Soleimani and [Abu Mahdi al-]Muhandis, who was the leader of the PMU forces in Iraq — he's

17:19

often kind of slightly forgotten when we're talking about the assassination of Qasam Soleimani, who was uh largely

17:27

responsible for the defeat of ISIS both in Iraq and Syria, um and and through

17:32

that normalization process particularly in the Gulf States there has been a process of changing the education system

17:40

where um the criminalization of Israel or the Zionist entity is being

17:45

eradicated and and so therefore that normalization process is being done even through education which of course is a

17:52

typical Zionist tactic, uh, Zionism as an ideology is bred into children um

17:59

through uh schools from the age of kindergarten, both in Israel and in

18:05

countries across the world, right? So this is this is a familiar strategy by them

18:10

um which has been repeated in the Gulf States, so in Bahrain um Saudi Arabia

18:16

which although they haven't yet fully normalized with Israel they've been going through this process for some time

18:22

and it's kind of a done deal as we've just seen with Trump’s, um, trip to to

18:28

West Asia including his discussions which we can come on to later with Jolani in Saudi Arabia before he headed

18:35

to um Qatar um in the rest of the region. Um, I think you have to take it kind of

18:42

slightly country by country. I don't think you can uh generalize across the the board. I think a similar process

18:49

funnily enough was was happening in Syria. I think there was a degree of loss of focus on who the real enemy was in

18:57

Syria, partly because of 14 years of regime change war, but also again thanks

19:03

to Trump from 2020 onwards there was huge um economic pressure on Syria kind

19:10

of um I don't really like saying post-war because the war wasn't over it had just taken a long pause as we know

19:17

now um and Trump brought in the Caesar sanctions which collectively punished

19:23

any country that would even come to the assistance of Syria and provide reconstruction construction aid um or

19:29

any kind of aid for for the civilian population 90% of which were living well

19:35

below whatever poverty line you you want to put out there as a as a standard right and so I think at that point

19:43

people uh were focusing inwards rather than outwards and were forgetting who

19:49

the real enemy was they were getting wrapped up in the fact that yes there was uh flourishing corruption which

19:56

again um I'm not excusing the Syrian government for allowing that to happen

20:02

but I'm also saying that's part of of the entire techury project in Syria was

20:07

to create the environment in which corruption could flourish and poverty could deepen right this is I mean this

20:14

is a blueprint which we saw back in Yugoslavia and it's been repeated ever since um and so I I think that focus

20:23

however has remained very steadfast amongst the resistance factions in Iraq

20:30

and in Lebanon and particularly in Yemen you know Yemen I think for me is a

20:35

benchmark of what resistance should be um it's operating under international law it's um adhering to the Geneva

20:43

Convention to prevent genocide it's trying to prevent and punish genocide

20:48

and it's being punished too for doing so by Trump and by the United States and of

20:54

course by Israel and the UAE and the other Gulf states etc that had waged the war against Yemen since

21:01

2015. Um, so I I think I I wouldn't kind of make this a blanket statement, but I

21:07

would say that it's part of the process of taking the eye off the ball and also

21:13

when you, um, drown people in economic misery and lack of hope lack of dignity

21:20

the destruction of infrastructure the destruction of your society for 14 years,

21:26

um, with actually, I mean we'll come on to this with actually — and people are going

21:32

to throw their hands up in horror — with with very little practical help from the

21:37

allies, and that includes Russia and Iran, um, Iran of course was providing the oil,

21:44

they were doing their best, but they're also under heavy sanctions, um, and so I I

21:50

think at that point um the celebrations came from the fact that that any

21:57

change was to be welcomed and I think people lost their rationale for a while

22:03

it came back very quickly i mean I had friends who were saying to me on day one yeah well you know like it's going to be

22:09

better, it has to be better, it has to be better than what came than what we had before; and then within 24 hours they

22:14

were saying "Oh no I was stupid to even think that," you know so I I think the

22:21

cruelty of what the West engineered in Syria is what really traumatized so many

22:28

people, um myself and Fee [Fiorella Isabel] included, and  myself particularly because I was there during

22:33

the last days um and it became very apparent that there was a major betrayal

22:38

not only internally but externally, and we can come on to that in in a minute,

22:45

but you know the the real politic games that these so-called non-aligned

22:50

countries are playing should be highlighted and and of course every time we do that we get called or I get called

22:58

controlled opposition or you know I'm I'm against a multipolar world or I'm

23:03

against BRICS I'm against the you know, and it's not that but we can't kind of

23:09

shove our ability to to rationalize just because an ideology is preventing that,

23:17

and I think that's a huge problem. People are ideologically invested in there being some kind of alternative to what

23:24

we've experienced for decades with the imperialist axis, um but I'm not so sure

23:29

that we're seeing anything massively different, it might just be a little bit

23:34

better in how it plays out um, but I think we we all need to be aware that

23:40

we're still kind of dealing with with the same paradigm; it just has a slightly

23:46

different color, it has a slightly different shape, um but going forward I think we need to be prepared for there

23:53

not being any huge difference, or any great equity, particularly um for those

23:59

countries, I don't like using terms like global south or or undeveloped countries because they're only

24:05

undeveloped because they've not been allowed to develop because they have the majority of the resources particularly

24:11

here in West Asia, um you know and that includes Yemen one of the poorest countries in the world — why is that

24:19

so? I I think you know until I see a level of equity for those countries

24:24

being allowed to happen by the the the ruling powerful

24:32

countries of this world, I find it hard to believe in there being any massive

24:38

alternative to what we see now.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
