How a Middle Eastern Regional War Will Impact The West | BitcoinHardTalk Ep. 49 – Elijah J. Magnier

In this episode of #BitcoinHardTalk INTERVIEWS, I sit down with Elijah J. Magnier, a veteran war correspondent with over 35 years of experience covering some of the world’s most complex and dangerous conflicts. Together, we break down the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, offering insights that go beyond the headlines and challenge the mainstream narratives.

Elijah’s deep understanding of Middle Eastern geopolitics—shaped by decades of firsthand reporting in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and beyond—provides a unique perspective on how these events are shaping our world today. We explore the ripple effects on Western markets, the future of Bitcoin, and the broader implications for global finance.

In this episode, we cover:

– The Historical Context: How the roots of the Israel-Palestine conflict tie back to Christian Zionism and the British Empire’s role in the creation of Israel.
– The Use and Misuse of “Terrorism”: A critical look at how the term is applied selectively to serve political agendas.
– The Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza: A ground-level view of the suffering in Palestine, often overlooked in Western media.
– Western Influence: The role of the U.S. and its allies in perpetuating the conflict through unwavering support for Israel.
– Economic Implications: How the conflict could affect energy markets, global trade, and the U.S. dollar.
– The Rise of Bitcoin: Exploring Bitcoin’s role in the growing movement towards de-dollarization and financial sovereignty.

This conversation is about understanding the broader implications of Middle Eastern geopolitics from both a macro perspective and through the lens of Bitcoin. If you’re serious about grasping how these global dynamics could impact your investments and the future of finance, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
