Additionally we see how this situation is now being countered via gold sales amongst other monetary policy of counties like China and Russia and how the US has had to concede to Iran, buy allowing oil sales to prevent pressure on the world system presently run by the US as we also explain how the US became the world's guarantor of the global economy post World War Two.

Why the US killed 167 Iranian girls Black Spy Podcast number 238, Season 24, Episode 0007 This week's Black Spy Podcast is in the main dedicated to answering a question posed to Carlton King by several listeners "who killed the young Iranian School girls (children) during the sneak attack on the first day of the present US/Israeli war against Iran.

S24 Ep 237TRUMP'S War? (Part 2)
TRUMP'S War? (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast number 237, Season 24, Episode 0006 This week's Black Spy Podcast examines the growing malaise within the United States government during the Trump era and explores the complex web of political, ideological, and financial pressures shaping American decision-making. The programme analyses how competing interests — from domestic political survival to international alliances — have placed Donald Trump at the centre of a series of contentious power struggles. A key focus of the discussion is the strategic relationship between the United States and Israel, including the influence of both Jewish Zionist political movements and the powerful network of Christian Zionists in the United States who interpret Middle Eastern politics through an "End of Days" theological lens. The episode explores how these overlapping ideological and political agendas can influence policy priorities in Washington. The podcast also considers the broader ecosystem of influence surrounding Trump, including wealthy donors, lobbying organisations, and political patrons such as Marion Anderson, alongside the role of business figures and intermediaries operating close to the administration. Particular attention is given to the way personal networks — including Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and long-time associate Steve Witkoff — intersect with diplomacy, business interests, and geopolitical strategy. From controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein to questions of oil politics and campaign funding, the programme asks whether these pressures help explain the confrontational posture that has defined much of Trump's political trajectory.

S24 Ep 235Can we fix Britain? (Part 2)
Can we fix Britain? (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast number 235, Season 24, Episode 0004 Last week I asked the Can Britain accept its place in the world or will it die under its post colonial pretentions? This week and next week, with my two colleagues, Dr Rachel Taylor from the perspective of the human mind and Fergus Esack from her professional media and spin expertise - we ask can Britain be fixed or is Britain on an inevitable road to real decline turbo charged by an inability to live within its means! Hence, as with last week, the Black Spy Podcast examines one of the most provocative questions in modern British public life: whether the United Kingdom is experiencing terminal decline or simply undergoing a turbulent period of transition. Drawing on his experiences and perspectives from security, economics, geopolitics, and social cohesion, Carlton explores the indicators often cited as evidence of UK national decline — slowing economic growth, pressures on public services, widening inequality, political fragmentation, militaristic solutions often as a side kick of the USA in an effort to retain/regain global influence especially post Brexit. The episode also considers demographic change, actual defence capabilities, energy security, and the resilience of Britain's institutions, asking whether these trends point to structural weakness or cyclical challenge. Rather than accepting headlines at face value, the programme interrogates what "decline" really means. Is national strength measured primarily through economic output and military reach, or through softer power such as diplomatic networks, intelligence capability, legal stability, cultural reach, and financial services dominance? The episode assesses Britain's continuing advantages, including its strategic alliances, intelligence partnerships, global language influence, leading universities, and role as a financial and technological hub. Through balanced analysis and insider-informed commentary, the podcast challenges simplistic narratives of collapse while acknowledging genuine vulnerabilities that could shape Britain's future trajectory. Ultimately, the episode asks whether Britain is fading as a world power, reinventing itself for a new era, or misunderstood in the way its strengths and weaknesses are judged. This ia a timely and thought-provoking exploration, as this instalment invites listeners to reconsider Britain's place in the world — and what the answer means for its future security, prosperity, and above all, its identity.
