    یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوا۟ قَوَّ ٰ⁠مِینَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَاۤءَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ وَلَا یَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ عَلَىٰۤ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُوا۟ۚ ٱعۡدِلُوا۟ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِیرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

    "Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, hendaklah kamu semua sentiasa menjadi orang-orang yang menegakkan keadilan kerana Allah, lagi menerangkan kebenaran; dan jangan sekali-kali kebencian kamu terhadap sesuatu kaum itu mendorong kamu kepada tidak melakukan keadilan. Hendaklah kamu berlaku adil (kepada sesiapa jua) kerana sikap adil itu lebih hampir kepada taqwa. Dan bertaqwalah kepada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui dengan mendalam akan apa yang kamu lakukan" [Surah al-Maʾidah 8]

    #Sambung bicara  tentang sistem pemerintahan Islam yang menjamin keadilan, kebahagiaan dan keamanan bagi segenap lapisan rakyat dan masyarakat. Hayatilah lagi kisah keadilan dan keindahan pemerintahan Islam dalam catatan sejarah:

    #Pada zaman Khalifah Umar bin al-Khattab r.a, wilayah-wilayah Islam yang telah berkembang luas telah dibahagikan kepada beberapa bahagian. Setiap bahagian ditadbir oleh seorang gabenor. Mereka diberi kuasa dalam menguruskan urusan-urusan pentadbiran termasuklah memungut cukai di bahagian masing-masing. Walaubagaimanapun, kuasa mutlak dalam memutuskan sesuatu kes atau masalah berkaitan cukai tanah akan dirujuk kepada Khalifah Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a.

    #Tanah-tanah tersebut akan diukur dan dinilai terlebih dahulu sebelum ditentukan kadar cukai. Tanah yang telah ditentukan jenisnya itu, kemudian akan ditetapkan kadar cukai mengikut jenis tanah tersebut. Hal ini jelas menunjukkan keadilan sistem yang diterapkan oleh Khalifah Umar r.a dalam sistem pemerintahannya. (Lihat: Milkiyyat al-‘Aradi fi al-Islam: Tahdid al-Milkiyyah wa al-Ta’mim oleh Muhammad ‘Abd al-Jawwad)

    #Berkenaan kadar cukai pertanian, Khalifah Umar r.a telah menetapkan iaitu 10 dirham bagi tanaman kurma dan 5 dirham bagi tanaman anggur. Cukai bagi setiap tanah yang sampai air sama ada diusahakan atau tidak adalah sebanyak satu dirham atau satu gantang (sa’). Manakala cukai sebanyak 1/10 dikenakan ke atas tanaman tamar yang diairkan dengan hujan sedangkan kadar 1/20 pula dikenakan untuk tanaman yang diairkan dengan tenaga sendiri. (Lihat: Kitab al-Kharaj oleh Abu Yusuf)

    #Walaupun begitu, sekiranya sesuatu tanah tidak mempunyai hasil pertanian, atau hasilnya terkena penyakit atau bencana alam, maka cukai tidak dikenakan. Cukai hanya dikenakan bagi tanah yang mempunyai hasil. Penetapan cukai kurma dengan kadar 10 dirham adalah disebabkan penanamannya yang memerlukan kepada tenaga, penjagaan yang rapi serta tanah yang subur.

    #Manifestasi keadilan pemerintahan Khalifah Umar r.a dalam menentukan kharaj jelas terlihat dengan mengenakan cukai sebanyak satu dirham dan segantang bagi tanah yang sampai air sama ada ia diusahakan atau sebaliknya. Ini juga dapat menggalakkan para pemilik tanah untuk mengusahakannya. Begitu juga sikap adil beliau dapat dilihat pada kadar cukai 1/10 dan 1/20 sepertimana yang dijelaskan menzahirkan sikap beliau dalam menilai dan menghargai tenaga yang dicurahkan oleh pengusaha.

    #Sayidina Umar r.a sangat mengambil berat tentang perihal rakyatnya dari sekecil-kecil perkara hingga sebesar-besar perkara. Hal ini dapat dibuktikan dengan ungkapannya yang masyhur dan dapat menginsafkan para pemimpin selepasnya:

    لَوْ مَاتَتْ شَاةٌ عَلَى شَطِّ الْفُرَاتِ ضَائِعَةً لَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى سَائِلِي عَنْهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

    "Kalaulah mati seekor kambing di tebing Sungai Furat dalam keadaan kehilangan rakan taulannya, nescaya aku merasa Allah SWT akan bertanya kepadaku pada Hari Kiamat" (Lihat: Hilyah al-Auliya’ oleh Abi Nu’aim)

    ♡Inilah keadilan sistem perundangan dan pemerintahan Islam yang ditunjukkan oleh para sahabat Rasulullah saw. Maka contohi dan aplikasikanlah dalam zaman kini♡

  • ISU YANG WAJIB DIPERTAHANKAN OLEH UMAT ISLAM, ALLAHU AKBAR !!

    🔸 Isu ini WAJIB menjadi perhatian dan keutamaan perjuangan Umat Islam. Saya sendiri tidak dapat memahami dengan baik, namun untuk isu ini kita wajib bersama Pertahankan Undang-Undang Syariah yang dicabar.

    🔸Tuan Lukman Syerif, Tuan Yusfarizal Yusuf antara Peguam yang berjuang di medan perundangan ini, juga bersama para pengamal Undang-Undang Syariah yang lain.

    🔸Kita sama-sama doakan agar perjuangan ini diberikan Rahmat Pertolongan Allah SWT sekaligus keputusan diakhirnya nanti memihak kepada Mahkamah Syariah.

    🔸KRONOLOGI KES NIK ELIN

    1- Bermula 25 Mei 2022, Petisyen, Nik Elin menfailkan permohonan untuk membatalkan 20 kesalahan jenayah Syariah Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan di Mahkamah Persekutuan kerana sudah terkandung dalam bidang jenayah Persekutuan.

    2- 30 September 2022, hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan, Datuk Vernon Ong Lam Kiat membenarkan mereka meneruskan kes ini.
    3- 2 Ogos 2023, Beberapa Peguam dan NGO Islam menyuarakan kebimbangan kesan cabaran kes Nik Elin di Mahkamah Persekutuan terhadap bidang kuasa Mahkamah Syariah Negeri-Negeri.

    Terdapat 2 majlis agama menjadi sahabat mahkamah (amicus curiae) iaitu Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (MAIK) dan Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP).

    4. 4 Ogos 2023, Mantan Menteri Agama, Datuk Dr. Zulkifli menyatakan bahawa kes ini bakal memberikan kesan terhadap Mahkamah Syariah seperti kes Iki Putra yang telah menjadi rujukan (precedent) kepada kes Nik Elin.

    5- 7 Ogos 2023, Jabatan Kehakiman Syariah Malaysia (JKSM) meminta pihak berkuasa negeri dan NGO menjadi pencelah bagi kes Nik Elin.

    6- 8 Ogos 2023, Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Kelantan (JAHEIK) diarahkan untuk menjadi pencelah dalam prosiding ini.

    7- 9 Ogos 2023, Persatuan Peguam-Peguam Muslim Malaysia (PPMM) dan Badan Peguam Syariah Wilayah Persekutuan menjadi pemerhati (watching brief), manakala MAIK, MAIWP dan SIS menjadi sahabat mahkamah (amicus curiae).

    8- 11 Ogos 2023, Pejabat Ketua Pendaftar Mahkamah Persekutuan (PKPMP) berkataka SIS memohon amicus curiae pada 20 April, manakala PPMM dan Peguam Syarie Wilayah Persekutuan memohon kurang dua minggu daripada tarikh perbicaraan.

    9- 17 Ogos 2023, Hari pendengaran kes Nik Elin di Mahkamah Persekutuan dan Ketua Hakim Negara memberitahu bahawa permohonan itu tiada kena mengena dengan doktrin Islam. Mahkamah menolak permohonan JAHEIK sebagai pencelah atas alasan permohonan tersebut tidak berasas. Mahkamah menangguh prosiding ke tarikh lain.

    10- 20 November 2023, Pendengaran semula petisyen yang dikemukakan oleh Nik Elin. KEPUTUSAN HARI INI DITANGGUHKAN KE TARIKH YANG BELUM DIKETAHUI.

    Untuk bacaan lanjut, boleh rujuk link ini, ulasan oleh seorang Peguam Tuan Yusfarizal Yusuf:

    🔸Walaupun kita ada banyak sebab untuk tidak sehaluan, namun atas dasar pertahankan Undang-Undang Syariah dan Islam, maka kita perlu bersatu, InsyaAllah di situlah akan terlihat kekuatan dan Izzah Agama Islam ini, Allahu Akbar.

    🔸Mari kita doakan kepada seluruh barisan hadapan para peguam yang bertungkus lumus mempertahankan kedudukan Undang-Undang Syariah ini.

    🔸Semoga kita semua juga boleh turut menyumbang dan membantu semampu kita iaitu dengan memberi sokongan dan bersama dalam perjuangan Memartabatkan Undang-Undang Syariah Umat ini.

    🔸ISU INI MENGANCAM MAHKAMAH SYARIAH YANG MENJUNJUNG UNDANG-UNDANG ISLAM. KITA TIDAK MAHU AKHIRNYA MENJADIKAN UNDANG-UNDANG JENAYAH ISLAM LUMPUH.

    🔸GESAAN KEPADA SELURUH UMAT ISLAM AGAR CAKNA DAN SENSITIF TERHADAP KEPENTINGAN UNDANG-UNDANG SYARIAH DI MALAYSIA DAN TERKEHADAPAN UNTUK MENEGAKKANYA.
    MOGA ALLAH MEMUDAHKAN SEGALA URUSAN SETERUSNYA, KEPADA DIA JUA KITA BERSERAH.

  • Nikmati 'daging' berasaskan tumbuhan keluaran GoodMorning
    Nikmati 'daging' berasaskan tumbuhan keluaran GoodMorning
    KUALA LUMPUR : Orang ramai kini boleh menikmati rasa 'daging' berasaskan tumbuhan yang bernutrisi lengkap dalam bentuk campuran kering yang pertama di Malaysia apabila apabila syarikat pemakanan multi-bijirin terbesar tempatan, GoodMorning Global Group Holdings Berhad melancarkan produk WonderMeat.

    Menariknya, Pengerusi Eksekutif dan Pengasasnya, Datuk Dr Lim Sin Boon memberitahu, WonderMeat yang merupakan sebuah produk inovatif bioteknologi buatan tempatan itu mempunyai nutrisi yang lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan daging haiwan.

    “Bukan sahaja membuka peluang dan memberi pilihan kepada pengamal vegan untuk menikmati rasa daging berasaskan tumbuhan yang bernutrisi lengkap, tetapi ia juga akan membawa perubahan trend pengguna mengambil sumber protein dari haiwan ke tumbuhan,” katanya pada majlis pelancaran WonderMeat di sini, pada Khamis.

    Dengan itu Sin Boon menjangkakan pelancaran itu akan memenuhi permintaan global yang semakin meningkat kepada penggemar makanan berasaskan tumbuhan.

    Menurutnya, WonderMeat bukan sekadar produk makanan, malah bakal menjadi satu lonjakan ke arah masa depan yang mampan.

    "Kami percaya bahawa teknologi makanan mempunyai potensi yang tidak terhad dan membuka jalan bagi kehidupan yang lebih sihat dan lebih lengkap," ujarnya.


    Sin Boon menambah, komitmen syarikat tersebut terhadap kesejahteraan kesihatan itu membawa kepada penciptaan pengalaman kulinari yang lazat dan mampu milik yang menyediakan protein berasaskan tumbuhan dengan pemakanan yang mencukupi dan seimbang untuk keperluan harian semua.

    "Daging berasaskan tumbuhan yang dibangunkan untuk meniru rasa dan tekstur daging haiwan ini bukan sahaja memberi para pengamal vegetarian dan vegan dengan opsyen yang lebih luas dalam pilihan makanan, malah pada masa sama dilihat sebagai satu perubahan yang secara asasnya akan mengubah cara orang melihat daging dengan menukar industri daging kepada industri yang berasaskan tumbuhan.

    "Jadi, dengan ini ia akan mengurangkan kebergantungan kepada protein haiwan untuk mencapai keselamatan makanan dan matlamat iklim.

    Beliau memberitahu, dengan adanya keupayaan logistik yang sentiasa diperkemas, hayat simpan produk tersebut menjadi lebih lama.

    "Kos serta jejak karbon yang lebih rendah, serbuk WonderMeat mengubah industri makanan untuk menjadi lebih mampan," tambahnya.

    Sin Boon menambah, dengan tekstur daging yang asli dengan harga mampu milik, produk itu menyaksikan era baharu dalam inovasi kulinari.

    WonderMeat diperbuat daripada soya dan kacang pis serta kaya dengan serat makanan dan protein.

    Ia juga diperkaya dengan nutrisi tambahan Calcium 3-hydroxy-3-methyl butyrate monohydrate (CaHMB), yang menyokong pembinaan tisu serta 28 jenis vitamin dan mineral terutamanya Vitamin B12 dan D yang susah dapat dalam diet vegan bagi memastikan pemakanan yang lengkap dalam setiap hidangan.

    Nikmati daging berasaskan tumbuhan keluaran GoodMorning
    Pada Julai lalu, syarikat berkenaan memperoleh dana sebanyak RM20 juta (AS$4.4 juta) daripada 1,046 pelabur dalam kempen pendanaan ramai ekuiti untuk memacu penyelidikan bioteknologi dan teknologi makanan syarikat ke peringkat yang lebih jauh lagi.
    Bersesuaian dengan kempen Tiada Siapa Berlapar Sebelum Tidur. Produk GoodMorning turut melancarkan pakej GoodMorning Rahmah.

    Inisiatif itu adalah bertujuan untuk menggalakkan masyarakat dapat nutrisi dan diet seimbang.

    Sementara itu, minuman pemakanan berasaskan tumbuhan GSure keluaran syarikat telah mendapat kelulusan Pusat Keselamatan dan Kualiti Makanan Kesultanan Oman pada Mac lalu.

    Sementara itu, Ahli Parlimen Kluang, Wong Shu Qi, yang menyempurnakan majlis tersebut yakin, produk protein yang menjadi alternatif itu dapat bersaing dalam pasaran global dengan jenama-jenama lain, seterusnya memberi inspirasi kepada pembangunan makanan berasasakan tumbuhan.

  • 🟥 Ciri ciri orang yang BERIMAN........

    Senang
    Mendengar Bacaan Ayat Al-Qur’an

    Senang
    mendengar bacaan ayat Al-Aur’an merupakan satu dari ciri-ciri orang beriman.

    Bukan
    hanya itu, keimanan dalam hati mereka juga semakin bertambah ketika mendengar ayat-ayat Allah SWT. Allah Ta’ala pun berfirman:
    وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَٰنًا‎

    Artinya:
    “dan apabila dibacakan ayat-ayat-Nya bertambahlah iman mereka (karenanya)” (QS. Al-Anfal: 2)

    Rasulullah
    mengatakan:

    “Orang
    mu’min yang membaca Al-Qur’an dan mengamalkan isinya, ibarat buah jeruk manis, rasanya enak dan baunya harum.

  • US and Israel headed for some sort of mega black swan event
    ByBenjamin Fulford November 6, 2023
    The signs are multiplying that the US and Israel are headed for some sort of mega black swan event. The result will be that both countries cease to exist in their present format. That is because the Federal Reserve Board -the fountain of power for the Satanists- is on the verge of collapse. If it goes, then everything under it, such as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION, the BIS, the World Bank, the IMF, the UN and 90% of the world’s transnational corporations will also collapse and come under new management.
    The signs of FRB collapse are manifold. As we have previously noted, the FRB interest rate of 5.25% has mathematically doomed at least half of all US Banks because it has devalued all the zero or close to zero interest stuff on their books. The FRB is now resorting to fraudulent accounting to hide the resulting bank run.
    This was seen when deposits at most of the big US banks (owners of the FRB) were “delayed” by the FRBs Automated Clearing House (ACH), network.
    https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/03/investing/bank-deposit-outage/index.html
    This apparently allowed the FRB to use “seasonal adjustment” fakery to turn a $33 billion deposit outflow (bank run) into a $52 billion inflow. This trickery has magically boosted deposits by $168 billion since April. Since FRB rules allow 1000 times leverage, these fake deposits back $168 trillion worth of “financial instruments.” In other words, the whole financial house of cards rests on a foundation of fraud.
    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fed-fkery-turns-massive-33bn-bank-deposit-outflow-51bn-inflow
    The US banks are also now stealing people’s money outright as well. Many bank customers are getting letters saying all of their checking and savings accounts are being closed. The explanation, if there is one, is something like “Per your account agreement, we can close your account for any reason at any time.”
    https://dnyuz.com/2023/11/05/why-banks-are-suddenly-closing-down-customer-accounts/
    This is happening in Australia and other KM-controlled countries as well.
    The KM are also now pushing desperately to outlaw cash and force us into a digital prison. The new FedNow inter-banking communication system is “possibly unconstitutional” and “threatens the very freedoms that all liberty-loving American citizens should hold dear,” says Bitcoin Magazine Editor Mark Goodwin in response to an FRB attempt to silence his publications’ criticism of this system.
    https://bitcoinmagazine.com/legal/federal-reserve-threatens-to-sue-bitcoin-magazine
    These moves are connected to the upcoming November 15th deadline for the US government to “raise the debt limit.” We are hearing the Chinese and other creditors to the US are determined not to let the US “government” circus show continue any longer.
    This financial trouble is why a political or military-type mega black swan event is probable. In the past, the FRB has responded to crises of this nature with events like 911, Fukushima and most recently the pandemic and vaccine global genocide attempt.
    One possibility is some sort of holocaust or mass sacrifice to Satan is being planned for Israel. We are getting credible reports from foreign diplomats based there that large portions of the country have been evacuated to Ukraine. These coincide with reports from Russia that roadblocks have been set up in the Ukraine and only people who can prove they are Jewish are being allowed past them.
    Mossad sources further claim Israel as a corporation has expired on October 31st. Also, China has removed Israel from its maps.
    In response, Netanyahu has appeared showing a map of Israel minus the Gaza strip. The last thing left for Israel to do is wage a Great War.
    “Israel is a global terrorist organization. That’s exactly what they are, but It is better to refer to them as the cancer of planet Earth,” a Mossad source says.
    In another sign Jews still in Israel are being prepared for another Holocaust, Satanic thugs in Israel are violently attacking genuine Jews who are protesting the genocidal acts of their government.
    According to MI6, the people behind this are Crime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and “a group of extremist Israeli nationalists who assassinated various international characters over the years including a Swedish count by all accounts so to speak and also had a go at a certain Mr. Winston Churchill back in the day. They style their vision of a modern Israel on the fascist states of Spain, Italy and Germany…The joint Israel and Gaza Strip incursions are indeed a slaughterhouse of blood sacrifice and now genocide. Left unchecked they will level the entire place to the ground and all in it.”
    Netanyahu himself refers to his Jewish and Palestinian enemies as Amalek:
    “The Lord ordered King Saul to destroy the enemy and all his people: ‘Now go and defeat Amalek and destroy all that he has; and give him no mercy: but put to death both Husband and wife; from youth to infant; from ox to sheep; from camel to donkey.” Book of Samuel 15:3.
    Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu agrees saying “One of Israel’s options in the war in Gaza is to drop a nuclear bomb on the strip,”
    https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/saudi-arabia-condemns-israeli-officials-statements-on-using-nuclear-weapon-on-gaza-3673010
    In a sign they know something is about to happen there, the Pentagon will no longer allow its senior military leaders to travel to Israel and will discourage members of Congress from making trips. “Israel will not recover from this mistake,” a senior CIA source warns.
    In other words, unless action is taken, the KM are about to stage a murder-suicide of Israel rather than accept Jewish liberation from millennia of Satanic control.
    Turkey might step in by reasserting control over Israel. “It is Türkiye’s duty to stop the bloodshed in Gaza,” President Recep Erdogan said on Sunday. “We are doing and will continue to do more than what is visible,” he said implying NATO’s largest army might intervene.

    AS dan Israel menuju semacam acara mega black swan

    Oleh Benjamin Fulford 6 November 2023

    Tanda-tandanya berlipat ganda bahwa AS dan Israel sedang menuju semacam acara mega angsa hitam. Hasilnya adalah kedua negara tidak ada lagi dalam format mereka saat ini. Itu karena Federal Reserve Board -sumber kekuatan bagi para Satanis- berada di ambang kehancuran. Jika itu berjalan, maka segala sesuatu di bawahnya, seperti KORPORASI AMERIKA SERIKAT, BIS, Bank Dunia, IMF, PBB dan 90% perusahaan transnasional dunia juga akan runtuh dan berada di bawah manajemen baru.

    Tanda-tanda keruntuhan FRB bermacam-macam. Seperti yang telah kami catat sebelumnya, tingkat bunga FRB sebesar 5,25% secara matematis telah menghancurkan setidaknya setengah dari semua Bank AS karena telah mendevaluasi semua hal bunga nol atau mendekati nol pada pembukuan mereka. FRB sekarang menggunakan akuntansi palsu untuk menyembunyikan lari bank yang dihasilkan.

    Hal ini terlihat ketika deposito di sebagian besar bank besar AS (pemilik FRB) "tertunda" oleh FRB Automated Clearing House (ACH), jaringan.

    Https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/03/investing/bank-deposit-outage/index.html

    Ini tampaknya memungkinkan FRB untuk menggunakan "penyesuaian musiman" palsu untuk mengubah arus keluar deposito $33 miliar (bank run) menjadi arus masuk $52 miliar. Trik ini secara ajaib telah meningkatkan simpanan sebesar $168 miliar sejak April. Karena aturan FRB mengizinkan 1000 kali leverage, setoran palsu ini mengembalikan "instrumen keuangan" senilai $168 triliun. Dengan kata lain, seluruh rumah keuangan kartu bertumpu pada dasar penipuan.

    Https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fed-fkery-turns-massive-33bn-bank-deposit-outflow-51bn-inflow

    Bank-bank AS juga sekarang mencuri uang orang secara langsung. Banyak pelanggan bank mendapatkan surat yang mengatakan semua rekening giro dan tabungan mereka ditutup. Penjelasannya, jika ada, adalah sesuatu seperti "Sepak dengan perjanjian akun Anda, kami dapat menutup akun Anda untuk alasan apa pun kapan saja."

    Https://dnyuz.com/2023/11/05/mengapa-bank-tiba-tiba-menutup-akun-pelanggan/

    Ini terjadi di Australia dan negara-negara lain yang dikendalikan KM- juga.

    KM juga sekarang berusaha mati-matian untuk melarang uang tunai dan memaksa kita masuk ke penjara digital. Sistem komunikasi antar-bank FedNow yang baru "mungkin tidak konstitusional" dan "mengancam kebebasan yang harus disayangi oleh semua warga Amerika yang mencintai kebebasan," kata Editor Majalah Bitcoin Mark Goodwin dalam menanggapi upaya FRB untuk membungkam kritik publikasinya terhadap sistem ini.

    Https://bitcoinmagazine.com/legal/federal-reserve-threatens-to-sue-bitcoin-magazine

    Langkah-langkah ini terhubung dengan batas waktu 15 November mendatang bagi pemerintah AS untuk "meningkatkan batas utang." Kami mendengar Cina dan kreditor lain ke AS bertekad untuk tidak membiarkan pertunjukan sirkus "pemerintah" AS berlanjut lebih lama lagi.

    Masalah keuangan inilah mengapa acara angsa hitam mega tipe politik atau militer- kemungkinan besar. Di masa lalu, FRB telah menanggapi krisis seperti ini dengan peristiwa seperti 911, Fukushima dan yang terbaru adalah upaya genosida global pandemi dan vaksin.

    Salah satu kemungkinannya adalah semacam holocaust atau pengorbanan massal kepada Setan sedang direncanakan untuk Israel. Kami mendapatkan laporan yang kredibel dari diplomat asing yang berbasis di sana bahwa sebagian besar negara telah dievakuasi ke Ukraina. Ini bertepatan dengan laporan dari Rusia bahwa penghalang jalan telah didirikan di Ukraina dan hanya orang-orang yang dapat membuktikan bahwa mereka adalah orang Yahudi yang diizinkan melewatinya.

    Sumber Mossad lebih lanjut mengklaim Israel sebagai perusahaan telah kedaluwarsa pada 31 Oktober. Juga, Cina telah menghapus Israel dari petanya.

    Sebagai tanggapan, Netanyahu telah muncul menunjukkan peta Israel dikurangi jalur Gaza. Hal terakhir yang tersisa untuk dilakukan Israel adalah mengobarkan Perang Besar.

    “Israel adalah organisasi teroris global. Itulah tepatnya mereka, tetapi lebih baik menyebut mereka sebagai kanker planet Bumi,” kata sumber Mossad.

    Dalam tanda lain orang Yahudi masih di Israel sedang dipersiapkan untuk Holocaust lain, preman Setan di Israel dengan keras menyerang orang Yahudi asli yang memprotes tindakan genosida pemerintah mereka.

    Menurut MI6, orang-orang di balik ini adalah Menteri Kejahatan Benyamin Netanyahu dan "sekelompok nasionalis Israel ekstremis yang membunuh berbagai karakter internasional selama bertahun-tahun termasuk hitungan Swedia oleh semua akun sehingga untuk berbicara dan juga mencoba Mr. Winston Churchill tertentu pada hari itu. Mereka menata visi mereka tentang Israel modern di negara-negara fasis Spanyol, Italia, dan Jerman... Serangan gabungan Israel dan Jalur Gaza memang rumah jagal pengorbanan darah dan sekarang genosida. Dibiarkan tidak dicentang, mereka akan meratakan seluruh tempat ke tanah dan semua di dalamnya.”

    Netanyahu sendiri menyebut musuh Yahudi dan Palestinanya sebagai Amalek:

    "Tuhan memerintahkan Raja Saul untuk menghancurkan musuh dan seluruh rakyatnya: 'Sekarang pergilah dan kalahkan Amalek dan hancurkan semua yang dia miliki; dan jangan beri dia belas kasihan: tetapi bunuh suami dan istri; dari masa muda hingga bayi; dari sapi hingga domba; dari unta hingga keledai." Kitab Samuel 15:3.

    Menteri Warisan Amichai Eliyahu setuju mengatakan "Salah satu pilihan Israel dalam perang di Gaza adalah menjatuhkan bom nuklir di jalur tersebut,"

    Https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/saudi-arabia-mengutuk-israel-penyataan-tentang-menggunakan-senjata-nuklir-pada-gaza-3673010

    Dalam tanda mereka tahu sesuatu akan terjadi di sana, Pentagon tidak akan lagi mengizinkan para pemimpin militer seniornya untuk melakukan perjalanan ke Israel dan akan mencegah anggota Kongres melakukan perjalanan. "Israel tidak akan pulih dari kesalahan ini," sumber senior CIA memperingatkan.

    Dengan kata lain, kecuali tindakan diambil, KM akan melakukan pembunuhan-bunuh diri Israel daripada menerima pembebasan Yahudi dari ribuan tahun kendali Setan.

    Turki mungkin turun langkah dengan menegaskan kembali kendali atas Israel. "Ini adalah tugas Türkiye untuk menghentikan pertumpahan darah di Gaza," kata Presiden Recep Erdogan pada hari Minggu. "Kami sedang melakukan dan akan terus melakukan lebih dari apa yang terlihat," katanya menyiratkan tentara terbesar NATO mungkin campur tangan.

    Https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/stopping-bloodshed-in-gaza-is-turkiyes-duty-president-erdogan-3673004'

    Ada juga bukti bahwa semacam peristiwa yang benar-benar mengerikan sedang direncanakan untuk

  • UNITED STATES CORP., Israel, Poland and Ukraine may cease to exist as KM defeated
    ByBenjamin Fulford November 13, 2023
    The geopolitical situation is in the middle of a collapse of the USASR-type situation. This will lead to many countries disappearing from the map in their current form. Countries likely to disappear include Israel, the United States, Ukraine and Poland. This comes as Rockefeller stooge president Joe Biden is set to sign surrender documents in San Francisco this week to the greater planetary liberation alliance, Western White hat and Asian secret society sources say.
    What is happening is that a centuries-old Satanic plan to use three world wars to turn the planet into a giant slave plantation has ended in failure. The Khazarian Mafia hoped to use this plan to rule the world from Israel and greater Khazaria (Ukraine+Khazakhstan etc.). Instead, as we shall see below, the KM have been decisively defeated in the Ukraine and will soon be in Israel.
    “Ukraine is an essential piece that we cannot afford to lose on the geopolitical chessboard…our current path…means that our global order is dead on its’ feet,” admits Nathaniel Rothschild who has taken over the KM now that much of the Octagon group has been neutralized.
    The defeat of this plan means many borders may return to a situation similar to what existed before the KM engineered World War I, the sources say.
    In other words, Germany will return to something of its’ First Reich borders, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may re-emerge as a republic and the Turkish Ottoman Empire may once again turn Judea (misleadingly called Palestine or Israel) into a protectorate. Needless the say the rights and autonomy of the Poles, Jews and Judeans (“Palestinians”), etc. would be protected under such a scenario.
    However, the changes may be more far-reaching than that because the satanic UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION is set to be dismantled as a result of the victory of the American people in their second revolution. The Republic of the United States of North America is likely to emerge as a replacement for the corporation when all the dust settles.
    This may all sound far-fetched but facts in the real world make this the most likely scenario.
    Let us start with the situation surrounding IS (ISIS the moon goddess) RA (the Egyptian sun god) EL (the creator).
    The Jews know their own government attacked them to justify war in the Gaza Strip. A leaked video from the Israeli Air Force shows that it was the Israeli Apache helicopters that bombed its citizens during the “Delirium” festival on October 7, not Hamas!
    Also, now even Jewish holocaust survivors are getting arrested for antisemitism [anti-satanism].
    No wonder Haaretz, a major mainstream Israeli Newspaper said:
    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is meant to be leading the country, is a haunted politician facing the end of his career, with the present troubles compounding the serious criminal entanglement into which he maneuvered himself with his own hands. Netanyahu does not enjoy the public’s confidence, and most of his efforts are invested in his personal survival.

    Last week leaders of all the Muslim countries gathered in response to the Satanic massacre of Judeans in Gaza ordered by the Satanist Netanyahu.
    At the meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (IOC) in Saudi Arabia last weekend a consensus was reached to end Israeli mischief once and for all. The IOC countries agreed they would not be fooled by the KM into starting World War III. Instead, they will follow the playbook of the neighbors of the original Khazaria.
    The IOC will issue an ultimatum to Israel and its’ KM overlords to stop their criminal and anti-social behavior around the world. They will threaten to attack Israel with an army of over 5 million that outnumbers them by 10 to 1 unless they arrest the war criminals in their government and subject themselves to Turkish guardianship.
    This is why Tass reports Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is planning a “global initiative” to resolve the Gaza crisis.

    Also, look at how Rockefeller slave Anthony Blinken gets the cold shoulder in Turkey as he tries to forestall this move. The current US regime has no credibility in the region.
    Furthermore, any nuclear blackmail attempt by the Israelis will be countered by Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.
    https://tass.com/world/1703703
    The Chinese and Russians also support such a plan.
    No matter what though, this is not going to turn into the KM’s long-planned Gog (the G7) versus Magog (The SCO) all-out nuclear war scenario to kill 90% of humanity. The US, Chinese and Russian militaries will not go along. The US military is no longer under the control of the KM, Pentagon sources explain. Even if compromised leaders try to order such a scenario, 72% of Americans say they will not support their armed forces in the event of a major war. The military rank and file is with the American people and not the KM.

    Take a look at how CNN tries to suppress real US military views by cutting off this soldier.
    In any case, we are getting reports the US mainland itself is now under attack, meaning no troops would be available to fight in the Middle East.

    UNITED STATES CORP., Israel, Polandia dan Ukraina mungkin tidak ada lagi saat KM dikalahkan

    Oleh Benjamin Fulford 13 November 2023

    Situasi geopolitik berada di tengah runtuhnya situasi tipe USASR-. Ini akan menyebabkan banyak negara menghilang dari peta dalam bentuk mereka saat ini. Negara-negara yang kemungkinan akan menghilang termasuk Israel, Amerika Serikat, Ukraina, dan Polandia. Ini datang ketika presiden antek Rockefeller Joe Biden diatur untuk menandatangani dokumen penyerahan di San Francisco minggu ini ke aliansi pembebasan planet yang lebih besar, kata Western White Hat dan sumber masyarakat rahasia Asia.

    Apa yang terjadi adalah bahwa rencana Setan berusia berabad-abad untuk menggunakan tiga perang dunia untuk mengubah planet ini menjadi perkebunan budak raksasa telah berakhir dengan kegagalan. Mafia Khazarian berharap untuk menggunakan rencana ini untuk memerintah dunia dari Israel dan Khazaria yang lebih besar (Ukraina+Khazakhstan dll.). Sebaliknya, seperti yang akan kita lihat di bawah, KM telah dikalahkan secara telak di Ukraina dan akan segera berada di Israel.

    "Ukraina adalah bagian penting yang tidak bisa kita hilangkan di papan catur geopolitik...jalan kita saat ini...berarti bahwa tatanan global kita sudah mati," aku Nathaniel Rothschild yang telah mengambil alih KM sekarang karena sebagian besar kelompok Octagon telah dinetralkan.

    Kekalahan rencana ini berarti banyak perbatasan dapat kembali ke situasi yang mirip dengan apa yang ada sebelum KM merekayasa Perang Dunia I, kata sumber.

    Dengan kata lain, Jerman akan kembali ke perbatasan Reich Pertamanya, Kekaisaran Austro-Hungaria mungkin muncul kembali sebagai sebuah republik dan Kekaisaran Ottoman Turki mungkin sekali lagi mengubah Yudea (secara menyesatkan disebut Palestina atau Israel) menjadi protektorat. Tak perlu dikatakan hak dan otonomi orang Polandia, Yahudi dan Yudea ("Palestina"), dll. akan dilindungi di bawah skenario seperti itu.

    Namun, perubahannya mungkin lebih jauh jangkauannya daripada itu karena UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION setan akan dibongkar sebagai hasil dari kemenangan rakyat Amerika dalam revolusi kedua mereka. Republik Amerika Serikat Amerika Utara kemungkinan akan muncul sebagai pengganti perusahaan ketika semua debu mengendap.

    Ini semua mungkin terdengar tidak masuk akal, tetapi fakta di dunia nyata menjadikan ini skenario yang paling mungkin.

    Mari kita mulai dengan situasi seputar IS (ISIS sang dewi bulan) RA (dewa matahari Mesir) EL (pencipTA).

    Orang-orang Yahudi tahu pemerintah mereka sendiri menyerang mereka untuk membenarkan perang di Jalur Gaza. Sebuah video yang bocor dari Angkatan Udara Israel menunjukkan bahwa helikopter Apache Israellah yang mengebom warganya selama festival "Delirium" pada 7 Oktober, bukan Hamas!

    Juga, sekarang bahkan para penyintas holocaust Yahudi ditangkap karena antisemitisme [anti-setan].

    Tidak heran Haaretz, sebuah surat kabar utama Israel arus utama mengatakan:

    Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu, yang dimaksudkan untuk memimpin negara, adalah politisi angker yang menghadapi akhir karirnya, dengan masalah saat ini yang memperparah keterikatan kriminal yang serius di mana dia bermanuver dengan tangannya sendiri. Netanyahu tidak menikmati kepercayaan publik, dan sebagian besar upayanya diinvestasikan dalam kelangsungan hidup pribadinya.

    Https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-03/ty-article/.premium/nasrallahs-long-awaited-speech-could-dictate-the-course-of-the-war-and-lebanons-future/0000018b-9185-db71-a7df-fdcd1cda0000? utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=Content&utm_campaign=daily-brief&utm_content=48df5d8f08

    Minggu lalu para pemimpin dari semua negara Muslim berkumpul sebagai tanggapan atas pembantaian Setan terhadap orang-orang Yudea di Gaza yang diperintahkan oleh Netanyahu yang Setan.

    Pada pertemuan Organisasi Kerjasama Islam (IOC) di Arab Saudi akhir pekan lalu sebuah konsensus dicapai untuk mengakhiri kerusakan Israel untuk selamanya. Negara-negara IOC setuju bahwa mereka tidak akan tertipu oleh KM untuk memulai Perang Dunia III. Sebaliknya, mereka akan mengikuti buku pedoman tetangga Khazaria asli.

    IOC akan mengeluarkan ultimatum kepada Israel dan penguasa KM-nya untuk menghentikan perilaku kriminal dan anti-sosial mereka di seluruh dunia. Mereka akan mengancam untuk menyerang Israel dengan pasukan lebih dari 5 juta yang melebihi jumlah mereka dengan 10 berpering 1 kecuali mereka menangkap penjahat perang di pemerintahan mereka dan menundukkan diri mereka pada perwalian Turki.

    Inilah mengapa Tass melaporkan Presiden Turki Recep Tayyip Erdogan sedang merencanakan "inisiatif global" untuk menyelesaikan krisis Gaza.

    Https://tass.com/world/1703703

    Juga, lihat bagaimana budak Rockefeller Anthony Blinken menjadi dingin di Turki saat dia mencoba untuk mencegah langkah ini. Rezim AS saat ini tidak memiliki kredibilitas di wilayah tersebut.

    Selanjutnya, setiap upaya pemerasan nuklir oleh Israel akan dilawan oleh persenjataan nuklir Pakistan.

    Https://tass.com/world/1703703

    Orang Cina dan Rusia juga mendukung rencana seperti itu.

    Tidak peduli apa, ini tidak akan berubah menjadi Gog (G7) yang telah lama direncanakan KM versus Magog (The SCO) skenario perang nuklir habis-habisan untuk membunuh 90% umat manusia. Militer AS, Cina, dan Rusia tidak akan ikut. Militer AS tidak lagi berada di bawah kendali KM, sumber Pentagon menjelaskan. Bahkan jika para pemimpin yang dikompromikan mencoba untuk memesan skenario seperti itu, 72% orang Amerika mengatakan mereka tidak akan mendukung angkatan bersenjata mereka jika terjadi perang besar. Pangkat dan arsip militer adalah dengan rakyat Amerika dan bukan KM.

    Https://www.newsweek.com/american-military-recruitment-problems-public-apathy-1842449

    Lihatlah bagaimana CNN mencoba menekan pandangan militer AS yang sebenarnya dengan memotong prajurit ini.

    Bagaimanapun, kami mendapatkan laporan bahwa daratan AS sendiri sekarang sedang diserang, yang berarti tidak ada pasukan yang tersedia untuk berperang di Timur Tengah. Bukti paling dramatis dari ini datang dari Los Angeles. “Setiap malam sekitar jam 2 pagi pasukan militer AS tiba dengan truk di sepanjang jalan raya utama Long Beach California. Pasukan pergi ke bawah tanah dan ledakan keras yang bukan gempa bumi terdengar. Ketika saya bertanya kepada seorang tentara di kafetaria fasilitas pelabuhan siapa yang mereka lawan, dia berkata mereka bertarung

    UNITED STATES CORP., Israel, Poland and Ukraine may cease to exist as KM defeated ByBenjamin Fulford November 13, 2023 The geopolitical situation is in the middle of a collapse of the USASR-type situation. This will lead to many countries disappearing from the map in their current form. Countries likely to disappear include Israel, the United States, Ukraine and Poland.

    Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam pun pernah bersabda:

    مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ، مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى.

    “Perumpamaan kaum Mukminin dalam cinta-mencintai, sayang-menyayangi dan bahu-membahu, seperti satu tubuh. Jika salah satu anggota tubuhnya sakit, maka seluruh anggota tubuhnya yang lain ikut merasakan sakit juga, dengan tidak bisa tidur dan demam.”[HR. Al-Bukhari (no. 6011), Muslim (no. 2586) dan Ahmad (IV/270), dari Sahabat an-Nu’man bin Basyir Radhiyallahu anhuma]

    ‎( فأما إذا هَجَم العدو فلا يبقى للخلاف وجهٌ فإنّ دفع ضررهم عن الدين والنفس والحرمة واجبٌ إجماعًا.

    Adapun jika musuh menyerang, maka tidak tersisa alasan untuk berselisih paham, karena menolak bahaya musuh untuk agama, nyawa, dan kehormatan, hukumnya wajib secara Ijma'',الفتاوى الكبرى( 4/608)

  • Jiwa Rasa

    Saya terjumpa semula buku ini di rak di kampung. Buku yang saya baca 17 tahun dahulu dan pernah saya catat di blog saya Dari Jiwa Rasa…

    Khamis, September 28, 2006

    Dari Beirut ke Jerusalem

    Saya telah tidak berlaku adil kepada buku ini. Buku From Beirut To Jerusalem tulisan Dr Ang Swee Chai ini telah lama terperap di rak buku saya. Tertulis di dalamnya tarikh buku ini dibeli - 03.03.03, Pustaka Mukmin, Jalan TAR. Sudah lebih tiga tahun. Saya pernah baca 10 helai pertama buku ini dahulu, tetapi entah mengapa, tidak berdaya untuk meneruskan bacaan. Mungkin tak kena dengan keadaan masa itu, atau mungkin juga terhenti kerana kesuntukan masa.

    Setelah selesai membaca buku Hizbullah, buku ini saya cari semula dari rak buku di rumah. Mungkin peristiwa serangan Israel ke atas Lebanon memberikan semangat saya untuk membaca dan mencari kisah dan fakta mengenai perjuangan rakyat Palestin. Saya mula membaca semula buku ini dan kemudiannya bagai tidak mahu berhenti membaca catatan benar kisah yang dilalui oleh Dr Ang Swee Chai.

    Saya mula kagum dan hormat pada seorang wanita kecil bernama Ang Swee Chai ini. Dr Ang adalah seorang wanita Cina yang lahir di Pulau Pinang, dibesarkan di Singapura dan kini menetap di Britain. Seorang pakar Ortopedik yang boleh sahaja hidup mewah dengan menjadi pakar ortopedik sepenuh masa. Namun Dr Ang telah memilih jalan yang jarang diambil oleh seorang wanita Kristian seperti beliau.

    Pada suatu musim panas, sewaktu di London, Dr Ang telah membaca berita mengenai bagaimana tentera Israel telah berjaya menyerang Lubnan. Sebagai seorang penganut agama Kristian, Dr Ang percaya telah datang panggilan kepada beliau untuk berkhidmat kepada masyarakat. Beliau lalu mendaftar sebagai sukarelawan perubatan ke Lubnan.

    Dr Ang nekad, walaupun risau dengan keselamatan sendiri. Takut-takut bertemu `pengganas’ Palestin di Lubnan. Keputusan nekad itulah juga yang telah mengubah seluruh prasangka buruk beliau terhadap perjuangan rakyat Palestin selama ini. Sebagai seorang penganut agama Kristian, beliau telah diajar bahawa usaha mendirikan negara haram Isarel adalah sebahagian dari ajaran agama yang mesti diyakini.

    Pengalaman menyaksikan peristiwa berdarah di Sabra Shatilla telah mengubah tanggapan beliau. Peristiwa Sabra Shatilla yang berlaku di pertengahan bulan September, 1982 menyaksikan rakyat Palestin dibunuh beramai-ramai. Ianya berlaku sejurus selepas pejuang Palestin melucutkan senjata dan menyerahkan nyawa dan keselamatan mereka kepada pasukan pengaman antarabangsa. Askar Israel telah menceroboh Beirut di malam 15 September 1982, melanggar gencatan senjata, mengepung lebih tiga ribu rakyat Palestin yang majoritinya kanak-kanak dan perempuan. Mereka dibunuh dengan kejam, yang perempuan diperkosa.

    Dr Ang Swee Chai bersama 22 rakan-rakan dari pasukan perubatan anatarbangsa, telah ditangkap askar Phalangist yang berada di bawah pengawasan tentera Israel. Malam itu Dr Ang menyaksikan kanak-kanak dan perempuan dikerah ke sebuah stadium. Sejurus kemudian, terdengar bunyi tembakan terus menerus selama setengah jam.

    Peristiwa Sabra Shatilla telah menelanjangkan sikap sebenar Zionis Israel. Tersingkaplah wajah sebenar syaitan bertopeng manusia. Sabra Shatilla juga telah mengubah Dr Ang Swee Chai menjadi seorang pembela perjuangan rakyat palestin. Beliau dengan berani telah menawarkan diri menjadi saksi dalam Suruhanjaya Kahan yang ditubuhkan Israel untuk menyiasat kejadian tersebut. Walaupun beliau tahu ianya tidak dapat mengubah keadaan. Suruhanjaya Kahan akhirnya mendapati Menteri Pertahanan masa itu, Ariel Sharon bersalah kerana mengambil tindakan secara bersendirian, membenarkan pembunuhan berlaku.

    Semenjak peristiwa itu Dr Ang Swee Chai telah berulang alik ke Lubnan. Beliau dan suami, Francis Khoo telah menubuhkan Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) pada tahun 1984, sebuah pertubuhan untuk mengutip dana bagi memberi bantuan kesihatan kepada pelarian Palestin di Lubnan. Bagi Dr Ang, beliau ada tanggungjawab untuk memberi gambaran sebenar di Lubnan. Penderitaan rakyat Palestin bukan sahaja disebabkan oleh Yahudi dan sokongan Amerika. Ianya disumbang juga oleh kebodohan dan kejahilan dunia yang tidak tahu apa yang sebenarnya berlaku.

    Tajuk buku ini; From Beirut To Jerusalem menggambarkan impian setiap rakyat Palestin di Beirut, yang mahu pulang ke tanah tempat kelahiran sebelum menghembus nafas terakhir.
    Jiwa Rasa Saya terjumpa semula buku ini di rak di kampung. Buku yang saya baca 17 tahun dahulu dan pernah saya catat di blog saya Dari Jiwa Rasa… Khamis, September 28, 2006 Dari Beirut ke Jerusalem Saya telah tidak berlaku adil kepada buku ini. Buku From Beirut To Jerusalem tulisan Dr Ang Swee Chai ini telah lama terperap di rak buku saya. Tertulis di dalamnya tarikh buku ini dibeli - 03.03.03, Pustaka Mukmin, Jalan TAR. Sudah lebih tiga tahun. Saya pernah baca 10 helai pertama buku ini dahulu, tetapi entah mengapa, tidak berdaya untuk meneruskan bacaan. Mungkin tak kena dengan keadaan masa itu, atau mungkin juga terhenti kerana kesuntukan masa. Setelah selesai membaca buku Hizbullah, buku ini saya cari semula dari rak buku di rumah. Mungkin peristiwa serangan Israel ke atas Lebanon memberikan semangat saya untuk membaca dan mencari kisah dan fakta mengenai perjuangan rakyat Palestin. Saya mula membaca semula buku ini dan kemudiannya bagai tidak mahu berhenti membaca catatan benar kisah yang dilalui oleh Dr Ang Swee Chai. Saya mula kagum dan hormat pada seorang wanita kecil bernama Ang Swee Chai ini. Dr Ang adalah seorang wanita Cina yang lahir di Pulau Pinang, dibesarkan di Singapura dan kini menetap di Britain. Seorang pakar Ortopedik yang boleh sahaja hidup mewah dengan menjadi pakar ortopedik sepenuh masa. Namun Dr Ang telah memilih jalan yang jarang diambil oleh seorang wanita Kristian seperti beliau. Pada suatu musim panas, sewaktu di London, Dr Ang telah membaca berita mengenai bagaimana tentera Israel telah berjaya menyerang Lubnan. Sebagai seorang penganut agama Kristian, Dr Ang percaya telah datang panggilan kepada beliau untuk berkhidmat kepada masyarakat. Beliau lalu mendaftar sebagai sukarelawan perubatan ke Lubnan.

  • The Age of Megathreats
    Nouriel RoubiniNov 4, 2022

    NEW YORK – Severe megathreats are imperiling our future – not just our jobs, incomes, wealth, and the global economy, but also the relative peace, prosperity, and progress achieved over the past 75 years. Many of these threats were not even on our radar during the prosperous post-World War II era. I grew up in the Middle East and Europe from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, and I never worried about climate change potentially destroying the planet. Most of us had barely even heard of the problem, and greenhouse-gas emissions were still relatively low, compared to where they would soon be.

    Moreover, after the US-Soviet détente and US President Richard Nixon’s visit to China in the early 1970s, I never really worried about another war among great powers, let alone a nuclear one. The term “pandemic” didn’t register in my consciousness, either, because the last major one had been in 1918. And I didn’t fathom that artificial intelligence might someday destroy most jobs and render Homo sapiens obsolete, because those were the years of the long “AI winter.”

    Similarly, terms like “deglobalization” and “trade war” had no purchase during this period. Trade liberalization had been in full swing since the Great Depression, and it would soon lead to the hyper-globalization that began in the 1990s. Debt crises posed no threat, because private and public debt-to-GDP ratios were low in advanced economies and emerging markets, and growth was robust. No one had to worry about the massive build-up of implicit debt, in the form of unfunded liabilities from pay-as-you-go social security and health-care systems. The supply of young workers was rising, the share of the elderly was still low, and robust, mostly unrestricted immigration from the Global South to the North would continue to prop up the labor market in advanced economies.

    Against this backdrop, economic cycles were contained, and recessions were short and shallow, except for during the stagflationary decade of the 1970s; but even then, there were no debt crises in advanced economies, because debt ratios were low. The kind of financial cycles that lead to crises were contained not just in advanced economies but even in emerging markets, owing to the low leverage, low risk-taking, solid financial regulation, capital controls, and various forms of financial repression that prevailed during this period. The advanced economies were strong liberal democracies that were free of extreme partisan polarization. Populism and authoritarianism were confined to a benighted cohort of poorer countries.

    Goodbye to All That

    Fast-forward from this relatively “golden” period between 1945 and 1985 to late 2022, and you will immediately notice that we are awash in new, extreme megathreats that were not previously on anyone’s mind. The world has entered what I call a geopolitical depression, with (at least) four dangerous revisionist powers – China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea – challenging the economic, financial, security, and geopolitical order that the United States and its allies created after WWII.

    There is a sharply rising risk not only of war among great powers but of a nuclear conflict. In the coming year, Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine could escalate into an unconventional conflict that directly involves NATO. And Israel – and perhaps the US – may decide to launch strikes against Iran, which is on its way to building a nuclear bomb.

    With Chinese President Xi Jinping further consolidating his authoritarian rule, and with the US tightening its trade restrictions against China, the new Sino-American cold war is getting colder by the day. Worse, it could all too easily turn hot over the status of Taiwan, which Xi is committed to reuniting with the mainland, and which US President Joe Biden is apparently committed to defending. Meanwhile, nuclear-armed North Korea has once again been seeking attention by firing rockets over Japan and South Korea.

    Cyberwarfare occurs daily between these revisionist powers and the West, and many other countries have adopted a non-aligned posture toward Western-led sanctions regimes. From our contingent vantage point in the middle of all these events, we don’t yet know if World War III has already begun in Ukraine. That determination will be left to future historians – if there are any.

    Even discounting the threat of nuclear Armageddon, the risk of an environmental Apocalypse is becoming increasingly serious, especially given that most of the talk about net-zero and ESG (environment, social, and governance) investing is just greenwashing – or greenwishing. The new greenflation is already in full swing, because it turns out that amassing the metals needed for the energy transition requires a lot of expensive energy.

    There is also a growing risk of new pandemics that would be worse than biblical plagues, owing to the link between environmental destruction and zoonotic diseases. Wildlife, carrying dangerous pathogens, are coming into closer and more frequent contact with humans and livestock. That is why we have experienced more frequent and virulent pandemics and epidemics (HIV, SARS, MERS, swine flu, bird flu, Zika, Ebola, COVID-19) since the early 1980s. All the evidence suggests that this problem will become even worse in the future. Indeed, owing to the melting of Siberian permafrost, we may soon be confronting dangerous viruses and bacteria that have been locked away for millennia.

    Moreover, geopolitical conflicts and national-security concerns are fueling trade, financial, and technology wars, and accelerating the deglobalization process. The return of protectionism and the Sino-American decoupling will leave the global economy, supply chains, and markets more balkanized and fragmented. The buzzwords “friend-shoring” and “secure and fair trade” have replaced “offshoring” and “free trade.”

    But on the domestic front, advances in AI, robotics, and automation will destroy more and more jobs, even if policymakers build higher protectionist walls in an effort to fight the last war. By both restricting immigration and demanding more domestic production, aging advanced economies will create a stronger incentive for companies to adopt labor-saving technologies. While routine jobs are obviously at risk, so, too, are any cognitive jobs that can be unbundled into discrete tasks, and even many creative jobs. AI language models like GPT-3 can already write better than most humans and will almost certainly displace many jobs and sources of income. In due course, some scientists believe that Homo sapiens will be rendered entirely obsolete by the rise of artificial general intelligence or machine super-intelligence – though this is a highly contentious subject of debate.

    Thus, over time, economic malaise will deepen, inequality will rise even further, and more white- and blue-collar workers will be left behind.

    Hard Choices, Hard Landings

    The macroeconomic situation is no better. For the first time since the 1970s, we are facing high inflation and the prospect of a recession – stagflation. The increased inflation in advanced economies wasn’t “transitory.” It is persistent, driven by a combination of bad policies – excessively loose monetary, fiscal, and credit policies that were kept in place for too long – and bad luck. No one could have anticipated how much the initial COVID-19 shock would curtail the supply of goods and labor and create bottlenecks in global supply chains. The same goes for Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, which caused a sharp spike in energy, food, fertilizers, industrial metals, and other commodities. Meanwhile, China has continued its “zero-COVID” policy, which is creating additional supply bottlenecks.

    While both demand and supply factors were in the mix, it is now widely recognized that the supply factors have played an increasingly decisive role. This matters for the economic outlook, because supply-driven inflation is stagflationary and thus increases the risk that monetary-policy tightening will produce a hard landing (increased unemployment and potentially a recession).

    What will follow from the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks’ current tightening? Until recently, most central banks and most of Wall Street belonged to “Team Soft Landing.” But the consensus has rapidly shifted, with even Fed Chair Jerome Powell recognizing that a recession is possible, that a soft landing will be “very challenging,” and that everyone should prepare for some “pain” ahead. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s model shows a high probability of a hard landing, and the Bank of England has expressed similar views about the United Kingdom. Several prominent Wall Street institutions have also now made a recession their baseline scenario (the most likely outcome if all other variables are held constant).

    History, too, points to deeper problems ahead. For the past 60 years in the US, whenever inflation has been above 5% (it is above 8% today), and unemployment has been below 5% (it is now 3.5%), any attempt by the Fed to bring inflation down toward its 2% target has caused a recession. Thus, a hard landing is much more likely than a soft landing, both in the US and across most other advanced economies.

    Sticky Stagflation

    In addition to the short-term factors, negative supply shocks and demand factors in the medium term will cause inflation to persist. On the supply side, I count eleven negative supply shocks that will reduce potential growth and increase the costs of production. Among these is the backlash against hyper-globalization, which has been gaining momentum and creating opportunities for populist, nativist, and protectionist politicians, and growing public anger over stark income and wealth inequalities, which is leading to more policies to support workers and the “left behind.” However well-intentioned, such measures will contribute to a dangerous wage-price spiral.

    Other sources of persistent inflation include rising protectionism (from both the left and the right), which has restricted trade, impeded the movement of capital, and heightened political resistance to immigration, which in turn has put additional upward pressure on wages. National-security and strategic considerations have further restricted flows of technology, data, and talent, and new labor and environmental standards, as important as they may be, are hampering both trade and new construction.

    This balkanization of the global economy is deeply stagflationary, and it is coinciding with demographic aging, not just in developed countries but also in large emerging economies such as China. Because young people tend to produce and save more, whereas older people spend down their savings and require many more expensive services in health care and other sectors, this trend, too, will lead to higher prices and slower growth.

    Today’s geopolitical turmoil further complicates matters. The disruptions to trade and the spike in commodity prices following Russia’s invasion were not just a one-off phenomenon. The same threats to harvests and food shipments that arose in 2022 may well persist in 2023. Moreover, if China does finally end its zero-COVID policy and begin to restart its economy, a surge in demand for many commodities will add to the global inflationary pressures. There is also no end in sight for Sino-Western decoupling, which is accelerating across all dimensions of trade (goods, services, capital, labor, technology, data, and information). And, of course, Iran, North Korea, and other strategic rivals to the West could soon contribute in their own ways to the global havoc.

    Now that the US dollar has been fully weaponized for strategic and national-security purposes, its position as the main global reserve currency could eventually begin to decline, and a weaker dollar would of course add to inflationary pressures in the US. More broadly, a frictionless world trading system requires a frictionless financial system. But sweeping primary and secondary sanctions have thrown sand in what was once a well-oiled machine, massively increasing the transaction costs of trade.

    On top of it all, climate change, too, will create persistent stagflationary pressures. Droughts, heat waves, hurricanes, and other disasters are increasingly disrupting economic activity and threatening harvests (thus driving up food prices). At the same time, demands for decarbonization have led to underinvestment in fossil-fuel capacity before investment in renewables has reached the point where they can make up the difference. Today’s large energy-price spikes were inevitable.

    The increased likelihood of future pandemics also represents a persistent source of stagflation, especially considering how little has been done to prevent or prepare for the next one. The next contagious outbreak will lend further momentum to protectionist policies as countries rush to close borders and hoard critical supplies of food, medicines, and other essential goods.

    Finally, cyberwarfare remains an underappreciated threat to economic activity and even public safety. Firms and governments will either face more stagflationary disruptions to production, or they will have to spend a fortune on cybersecurity. Either way, costs will rise.

    The Worst of All Possible Economies

    When the recession comes, it will not be short and shallow but long and severe. Not only are we facing persistent short- and medium-term negative supply shocks, but we are also heading into the mother of all debt crises, owing to soaring private and public debt ratios over the last few decades. Low debt ratios spared us from that outcome in the 1970s. And though we certainly had debt crises following the 2008 crash – the result of excessive household, bank, and government debt – we also had deflation. It was a demand shock and a credit crunch that could be met with massive monetary, fiscal, and credit easing.

    Today, we are experiencing the worst elements of both the 1970s and 2008. Multiple, persistent negative supply shocks have coincided with debt ratios that are even higher than they were during the global financial crisis. These inflationary pressures are forcing central banks to tighten monetary policy even though we are heading into a recession. That makes the current situation fundamentally different from both the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 crisis. Everyone should be preparing for what may come to be remembered as the Great Stagflationary Debt Crisis.

    While central banks have been at pains to sound more hawkish, we should be skeptical of their professed willingness to fight inflation at any cost. Once they find themselves in a debt trap, they will have to blink. With debt ratios so high, fighting inflation will cause an economic and financial crash that will be deemed politically unacceptable. Major central banks will feel as though they have no choice but to backpedal, and inflation, the debasement of fiat currencies, boom-bust cycles, and financial crises will become even more severe and frequent.

    The inevitability of central banks wimping out was recently on display in the United Kingdom. Faced with the market reaction to the Truss government’s reckless fiscal stimulus, the BOE had to launch an emergency quantitative-easing (QE) program to buy up government bonds. That sad episode confirmed that in the UK, as in many other countries, monetary policy is increasingly subject to fiscal capture.

    Recall that a similar turnaround occurred in 2019, when the Fed, after previously signaling continued rate hikes and quantitative-tightening, stopped its QT program and started pursuing a mix of backdoor QE and policy-rate cuts at the first sign of mild financial pressures and a growth slowdown. Central banks will talk tough; but, in a world of excessive debt and risks of an economic and financial crash, there is good reason to doubt their willingness to do “whatever it takes” to return inflation to its target rate.

    With governments unable to reduce high debts and deficits by spending less or raising revenues, those that can borrow in their own currency will increasingly resort to the “inflation tax”: relying on unexpected price growth to wipe out long-term nominal liabilities at fixed interest rates.

    How will financial markets and prices of equities and bonds perform in the face of rising inflation and the return of stagflation? It is likely that, as in the stagflation of the 1970s, both components of any traditional asset portfolio will suffer, potentially incurring massive losses. Inflation is bad for bond portfolios, which will take losses as yields increase and prices fall, as well as for equities, whose valuations are hurt by rising interest rates.

    For the first time in decades, a 60/40 portfolio of equities and bonds suffered massive losses in 2022, because bond yields have surged while equities have gone into a bear market. By 1982, at the peak of the stagflation decade, the average S&P 500 firm’s price-to-earnings ratio was down to eight; today, it is closer to 20, which suggests that the bear market could end up being even more protracted and severe. Investors will need to find assets to hedge against inflation, political and geopolitical risks, and environmental damage: these include short-term government bonds and inflation-indexed bonds, gold and other precious metals, and real estate that is resilient to environmental damage.

    The Moment of Truth

    In any case, these megathreats will further contribute to rising income and wealth inequality, which has already been putting severe pressure on liberal democracies (as those left behind revolt against elites), and fueling the rise of radical and aggressive populist regimes. One can find right-wing manifestations of this trend in Russia, Turkey, Hungary, Italy, Sweden, the US (under Donald Trump), post-Brexit Britain, and many other countries; and left-wing manifestations in Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and now Brazil (which has just replaced a right-wing populist with a left-wing one).

    And, of course, Xi’s authoritarian stranglehold has given the lie to the old idea that Western engagement with a fast-growing China would ineluctably lead that country to open itself up even more to markets and, eventually, to democratic processes. Under Xi, China shows every sign of becoming more closed off, and more aggressive on geopolitical, security, and economic matters.

    How did it come to this? Part of the problem is that we have long had our heads stuck in the sand. Now, we need to make up for lost time. Without decisive action, we will be heading into a period that is less like the four decades after WWII than like the three decades between 1914 and 1945. That period gave us World War I; the Spanish flu pandemic; the 1929 Wall Street crash; the Great Depression; massive trade and currency wars; inflation, hyperinflation, and deflation; financial and debt crises, leading to massive meltdowns and defaults; and the rise of authoritarian militarist regimes in Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, and elsewhere, culminating in WWII and the Holocaust.

    In this new world, the relative peace, prosperity, and rising global welfare that we have taken for granted will be gone; most of it already is. If we don’t stop the multi-track slow-motion train wreck that is threatening the global economy and our planet at large, we will be lucky to have only a repeat of the stagflationary 1970s. Far more likely is an echo of the 1930s and the 1940s, only now with all the massive disruptions from climate change added to the mix.

    Avoiding a dystopian scenario will not be easy. While there are potential solutions to each megathreat, most are costly in the short run and will deliver benefits only over the long run. Many also require technological innovations that are not yet available or in place, starting with those needed to halt or reverse climate change. Complicating matters further, today’s megathreats are interconnected, and therefore best addressed in a systematic and coherent fashion. Domestic leadership, in both the private and public sector, and international cooperation among great powers is necessary to prevent the coming Apocalypse.

    Yet there are many domestic and international obstacles standing in the way of policies that would allow for a less dystopian (though still contested and conflictual) future. Thus, while a less bleak scenario is obviously desirable, a clear-headed analysis indicates that dystopia is much more likely than a happier outcome. The years and decades ahead will be marked by a stagflationary debt crisis and related megathreats – war, pandemics, climate change, disruptive AI, and deglobalization – all of which will be bad for jobs, economies, markets, peace, and prosperity.

No one could have anticipated how much the initial COVID-19 shock would curtail the supply of goods and labor and create bottlenecks in global supply chains. The same goes for Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, which caused a sharp spike in energy, food, fertilizers, industrial metals, and other commodities. Meanwhile, China has continued its “zero-COVID” policy, which is creating additional supply bottlenecks. While both demand and supply factors were in the mix, it is now widely recognized that the supply factors have played an increasingly decisive role. This matters for the economic outlook, because supply-driven inflation is stagflationary and thus increases the risk that monetary-policy tightening will produce a hard landing (increased unemployment and potentially a recession). What will follow from the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks’ current tightening? Until recently, most central banks and most of Wall Street belonged to “Team Soft Landing.” But the consensus has rapidly shifted, with even Fed Chair Jerome Powell recognizing that a recession is possible, that a soft landing will be “very challenging,” and that everyone should prepare for some “pain” ahead. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s model shows a high probability of a hard landing, and the Bank of England has expressed similar views about the United Kingdom. Several prominent Wall Street institutions have also now made a recession their baseline scenario (the most likely outcome if all other variables are held constant). History, too, points to deeper problems ahead. For the past 60 years in the US, whenever inflation has been above 5% (it is above 8% today), and unemployment has been below 5% (it is now 3.5%), any attempt by the Fed to bring inflation down toward its 2% target has caused a recession. Thus, a hard landing is much more likely than a soft landing, both in the US and across most other advanced economies. Sticky Stagflation In addition to the short-term factors, negative supply shocks and demand factors in the medium term will cause inflation to persist. On the supply side, I count eleven negative supply shocks that will reduce potential growth and increase the costs of production. Among these is the backlash against hyper-globalization, which has been gaining momentum and creating opportunities for populist, nativist, and protectionist politicians, and growing public anger over stark income and wealth inequalities, which is leading to more policies to support workers and the “left behind.” However well-intentioned, such measures will contribute to a dangerous wage-price spiral. Other sources of persistent inflation include rising protectionism (from both the left and the right), which has restricted trade, impeded the movement of capital, and heightened political resistance to immigration, which in turn has put additional upward pressure on wages. National-security and strategic considerations have further restricted flows of technology, data, and talent, and new labor and environmental standards, as important as they may be, are hampering both trade and new construction. This balkanization of the global economy is deeply stagflationary, and it is coinciding with demographic aging, not just in developed countries but also in large emerging economies such as China. Because young people tend to produce and save more, whereas older people spend down their savings and require many more expensive services in health care and other sectors, this trend, too, will lead to higher prices and slower growth. Today’s geopolitical turmoil further complicates matters. The disruptions to trade and the spike in commodity prices following Russia’s invasion were not just a one-off phenomenon. The same threats to harvests and food shipments that arose in 2022 may well persist in 2023. Moreover, if China does finally end its zero-COVID policy and begin to restart its economy, a surge in demand for many commodities will add to the global inflationary pressures. There is also no end in sight for Sino-Western decoupling, which is accelerating across all dimensions of trade (goods, services, capital, labor, technology, data, and information). And, of course, Iran, North Korea, and other strategic rivals to the West could soon contribute in their own ways to the global havoc. Now that the US dollar has been fully weaponized for strategic and national-security purposes, its position as the main global reserve currency could eventually begin to decline, and a weaker dollar would of course add to inflationary pressures in the US. More broadly, a frictionless world trading system requires a frictionless financial system. But sweeping primary and secondary sanctions have thrown sand in what was once a well-oiled machine, massively increasing the transaction costs of trade. On top of it all, climate change, too, will create persistent stagflationary pressures. Droughts, heat waves, hurricanes, and other disasters are increasingly disrupting economic activity and threatening harvests (thus driving up food prices). At the same time, demands for decarbonization have led to underinvestment in fossil-fuel capacity before investment in renewables has reached the point where they can make up the difference. Today’s large energy-price spikes were inevitable. The increased likelihood of future pandemics also represents a persistent source of stagflation, especially considering how little has been done to prevent or prepare for the next one. The next contagious outbreak will lend further momentum to protectionist policies as countries rush to close borders and hoard critical supplies of food, medicines, and other essential goods. Finally, cyberwarfare remains an underappreciated threat to economic activity and even public safety. Firms and governments will either face more stagflationary disruptions to production, or they will have to spend a fortune on cybersecurity. Either way, costs will rise. The Worst of All Possible Economies When the recession comes, it will not be short and shallow but long and severe. Not only are we facing persistent short- and medium-term negative supply shocks, but we are also heading into the mother of all debt crises, owing to soaring private and public debt ratios over the last few decades. Low debt ratios spared us from that outcome in the 1970s. And though we certainly had debt crises following the 2008 crash – the result of excessive household, bank, and government debt – we also had deflation. It was a demand shock and a credit crunch that could be met with massive monetary, fiscal, and credit easing. Today, we are experiencing the worst elements of both the 1970s and 2008. Multiple, persistent negative supply shocks have coincided with debt ratios that are even higher than they were during the global financial crisis. These inflationary pressures are forcing central banks to tighten monetary policy even though we are heading into a recession. That makes the current situation fundamentally different from both the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 crisis. Everyone should be preparing for what may come to be remembered as the Great Stagflationary Debt Crisis. While central banks have been at pains to sound more hawkish, we should be skeptical of their professed willingness to fight inflation at any cost. Once they find themselves in a debt trap, they will have to blink. With debt ratios so high, fighting inflation will cause an economic and financial crash that will be deemed politically unacceptable. Major central banks will feel as though they have no choice but to backpedal, and inflation, the debasement of fiat currencies, boom-bust cycles, and financial crises will become even more severe and frequent. The inevitability of central banks wimping out was recently on display in the United Kingdom. Faced with the market reaction to the Truss government’s reckless fiscal stimulus, the BOE had to launch an emergency quantitative-easing (QE) program to buy up government bonds. That sad episode confirmed that in the UK, as in many other countries, monetary policy is increasingly subject to fiscal capture. Recall that a similar turnaround occurred in 2019, when the Fed, after previously signaling continued rate hikes and quantitative-tightening, stopped its QT program and started pursuing a mix of backdoor QE and policy-rate cuts at the first sign of mild financial pressures and a growth slowdown. Central banks will talk tough; but, in a world of excessive debt and risks of an economic and financial crash, there is good reason to doubt their willingness to do “whatever it takes” to return inflation to its target rate. With governments unable to reduce high debts and deficits by spending less or raising revenues, those that can borrow in their own currency will increasingly resort to the “inflation tax”: relying on unexpected price growth to wipe out long-term nominal liabilities at fixed interest rates. How will financial markets and prices of equities and bonds perform in the face of rising inflation and the return of stagflation? It is likely that, as in the stagflation of the 1970s, both components of any traditional asset portfolio will suffer, potentially incurring massive losses. Inflation is bad for bond portfolios, which will take losses as yields increase and prices fall, as well as for equities, whose valuations are hurt by rising interest rates. For the first time in decades, a 60/40 portfolio of equities and bonds suffered massive losses in 2022, because bond yields have surged while equities have gone into a bear market. By 1982, at the peak of the stagflation decade, the average S&P 500 firm’s price-to-earnings ratio was down to eight; today, it is closer to 20, which suggests that the bear market could end up being even more protracted and severe. Investors will need to find assets to hedge against inflation, political and geopolitical risks, and environmental damage: these include short-term government bonds and inflation-indexed bonds, gold and other precious metals, and real estate that is resilient to environmental damage. The Moment of Truth In any case, these megathreats will further contribute to rising income and wealth inequality, which has already been putting severe pressure on liberal democracies (as those left behind revolt against elites), and fueling the rise of radical and aggressive populist regimes. One can find right-wing manifestations of this trend in Russia, Turkey, Hungary, Italy, Sweden, the US (under Donald Trump), post-Brexit Britain, and many other countries; and left-wing manifestations in Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and now Brazil (which has just replaced a right-wing populist with a left-wing one). And, of course, Xi’s authoritarian stranglehold has given the lie to the old idea that Western engagement with a fast-growing China would ineluctably lead that country to open itself up even more to markets and, eventually, to democratic processes. Under Xi, China shows every sign of becoming more closed off, and more aggressive on geopolitical, security, and economic matters. How did it come to this? Part of the problem is that we have long had our heads stuck in the sand. Now, we need to make up for lost time. Without decisive action, we will be heading into a period that is less like the four decades after WWII than like the three decades between 1914 and 1945. That period gave us World War I; the Spanish flu pandemic; the 1929 Wall Street crash; the Great Depression; massive trade and currency wars; inflation, hyperinflation, and deflation; financial and debt crises, leading to massive meltdowns and defaults; and the rise of authoritarian militarist regimes in Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, and elsewhere, culminating in WWII and the Holocaust. In this new world, the relative peace, prosperity, and rising global welfare that we have taken for granted will be gone; most of it already is. If we don’t stop the multi-track slow-motion train wreck that is threatening the global economy and our planet at large, we will be lucky to have only a repeat of the stagflationary 1970s. Far more likely is an echo of the 1930s and the 1940s, only now with all the massive disruptions from climate change added to the mix. Avoiding a dystopian scenario will not be easy. While there are potential solutions to each megathreat, most are costly in the short run and will deliver benefits only over the long run. Many also require technological innovations that are not yet available or in place, starting with those needed to halt or reverse climate change. Complicating matters further, today’s megathreats are interconnected, and therefore best addressed in a systematic and coherent fashion. Domestic leadership, in both the private and public sector, and international cooperation among great powers is necessary to prevent the coming Apocalypse. Yet there are many domestic and international obstacles standing in the way of policies that would allow for a less dystopian (though still contested and conflictual) future. Thus, while a less bleak scenario is obviously desirable, a clear-headed analysis indicates that dystopia is much more likely than a happier outcome. The years and decades ahead will be marked by a stagflationary debt crisis and related megathreats – war, pandemics, climate change, disruptive AI, and deglobalization – all of which will be bad for jobs, economies, markets, peace, and prosperity.

  • The Age of Megathreats

    NEW YORK – Severe megathreats are imperiling our future – not just our jobs, incomes, wealth, and the global economy, but also the relative peace, prosperity, and progress achieved over the past 75 years. Many of these threats were not even on our radar during the prosperous post-World War II era. I grew up in the Middle East and Europe from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, and I never worried about climate change potentially destroying the planet. Most of us had barely even heard of the problem, and greenhouse-gas emissions were still relatively low, compared to where they would soon be.

    Moreover, after the US-Soviet détente and US President Richard Nixon’s visit to China in the early 1970s, I never really worried about another war among great powers, let alone a nuclear one. The term “pandemic” didn’t register in my consciousness, either, because the last major one had been in 1918. And I didn’t fathom that artificial intelligence might someday destroy most jobs and render Homo sapiens obsolete, because those were the years of the long “AI winter.”

    Similarly, terms like “deglobalization” and “trade war” had no purchase during this period. Trade liberalization had been in full swing since the Great Depression, and it would soon lead to the hyper-globalization that began in the 1990s. Debt crises posed no threat, because private and public debt-to-GDP ratios were low in advanced economies and emerging markets, and growth was robust. No one had to worry about the massive build-up of implicit debt, in the form of unfunded liabilities from pay-as-you-go social security and health-care systems. The supply of young workers was rising, the share of the elderly was still low, and robust, mostly unrestricted immigration from the Global South to the North would continue to prop up the labor market in advanced economies.

    Against this backdrop, economic cycles were contained, and recessions were short and shallow, except for during the stagflationary decade of the 1970s; but even then, there were no debt crises in advanced economies, because debt ratios were low. The kind of financial cycles that lead to crises were contained not just in advanced economies but even in emerging markets, owing to the low leverage, low risk-taking, solid financial regulation, capital controls, and various forms of financial repression that prevailed during this period. The advanced economies were strong liberal democracies that were free of extreme partisan polarization. Populism and authoritarianism were confined to a benighted cohort of poorer countries.

    Goodbye to All That

    Fast-forward from this relatively “golden” period between 1945 and 1985 to late 2022, and you will immediately notice that we are awash in new, extreme megathreats that were not previously on anyone’s mind. The world has entered what I call a geopolitical depression, with (at least) four dangerous revisionist powers – China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea – challenging the economic, financial, security, and geopolitical order that the United States and its allies created after WWII.

    There is a sharply rising risk not only of war among great powers but of a nuclear conflict. In the coming year, Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine could escalate into an unconventional conflict that directly involves NATO. And Israel – and perhaps the US – may decide to launch strikes against Iran, which is on its way to building a nuclear bomb.

    With Chinese President Xi Jinping further consolidating his authoritarian rule, and with the US tightening its trade restrictions against China, the new Sino-American cold war is getting colder by the day. Worse, it could all too easily turn hot over the status of Taiwan, which Xi is committed to reuniting with the mainland, and which US President Joe Biden is apparently committed to defending. Meanwhile, nuclear-armed North Korea has once again been seeking attention by firing rockets over Japan and South Korea.

    Cyberwarfare occurs daily between these revisionist powers and the West, and many other countries have adopted a non-aligned posture toward Western-led sanctions regimes. From our contingent vantage point in the middle of all these events, we don’t yet know if World War III has already begun in Ukraine. That determination will be left to future historians – if there are any.

    Even discounting the threat of nuclear Armageddon, the risk of an environmental Apocalypse is becoming increasingly serious, especially given that most of the talk about net-zero and ESG (environment, social, and governance) investing is just greenwashing – or greenwishing. The new greenflation is already in full swing, because it turns out that amassing the metals needed for the energy transition requires a lot of expensive energy.

    There is also a growing risk of new pandemics that would be worse than biblical plagues, owing to the link between environmental destruction and zoonotic diseases. Wildlife, carrying dangerous pathogens, are coming into closer and more frequent contact with humans and livestock. That is why we have experienced more frequent and virulent pandemics and epidemics (HIV, SARS, MERS, swine flu, bird flu, Zika, Ebola, COVID-19) since the early 1980s. All the evidence suggests that this problem will become even worse in the future. Indeed, owing to the melting of Siberian permafrost, we may soon be confronting dangerous viruses and bacteria that have been locked away for millennia.

    Moreover, geopolitical conflicts and national-security concerns are fueling trade, financial, and technology wars, and accelerating the deglobalization process. The return of protectionism and the Sino-American decoupling will leave the global economy, supply chains, and markets more balkanized and fragmented. The buzzwords “friend-shoring” and “secure and fair trade” have replaced “offshoring” and “free trade.”

    But on the domestic front, advances in AI, robotics, and automation will destroy more and more jobs, even if policymakers build higher protectionist walls in an effort to fight the last war. By both restricting immigration and demanding more domestic production, aging advanced economies will create a stronger incentive for companies to adopt labor-saving technologies. While routine jobs are obviously at risk, so, too, are any cognitive jobs that can be unbundled into discrete tasks, and even many creative jobs. AI language models like GPT-3 can already write better than most humans and will almost certainly displace many jobs and sources of income. In due course, some scientists believe that Homo sapiens will be rendered entirely obsolete by the rise of artificial general intelligence or machine super-intelligence – though this is a highly contentious subject of debate.

    Thus, over time, economic malaise will deepen, inequality will rise even further, and more white- and blue-collar workers will be left behind.

    Hard Choices, Hard Landings

    The macroeconomic situation is no better. For the first time since the 1970s, we are facing high inflation and the prospect of a recession – stagflation. The increased inflation in advanced economies wasn’t “transitory.” It is persistent, driven by a combination of bad policies – excessively loose monetary, fiscal, and credit policies that were kept in place for too long – and bad luck. No one could have anticipated how much the initial COVID-19 shock would curtail the supply of goods and labor and create bottlenecks in global supply chains. The same goes for Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, which caused a sharp spike in energy, food, fertilizers, industrial metals, and other commodities. Meanwhile, China has continued its “zero-COVID” policy, which is creating additional supply bottlenecks.

    While both demand and supply factors were in the mix, it is now widely recognized that the supply factors have played an increasingly decisive role. This matters for the economic outlook, because supply-driven inflation is stagflationary and thus increases the risk that monetary-policy tightening will produce a hard landing (increased unemployment and potentially a recession).

Thus, a hard landing is much more likely than a soft landing, both in the US and across most other advanced economies.

    In addition to the short-term factors, negative supply shocks and demand factors in the medium term will cause inflation to persist. On the supply side, I count eleven negative supply shocks that will reduce potential growth and increase the costs of production.

And, of course, Iran, North Korea, and other strategic rivals to the West could soon contribute in their own ways to the global havoc.

    Now that the US dollar has been fully weaponized for strategic and national-security purposes, its position as the main global reserve currency could eventually begin to decline, and a weaker dollar would of course add to inflationary pressures in the US. More broadly, a frictionless world trading system requires a frictionless financial system. But sweeping primary and secondary sanctions have thrown sand in what was once a well-oiled machine, massively increasing the transaction costs of trade.

    And, of course, Xi’s authoritarian stranglehold has given the lie to the old idea that Western engagement with a fast-growing China would ineluctably lead that country to open itself up even more to markets and, eventually, to democratic processes. Under Xi, China shows every sign of becoming more closed off, and more aggressive on geopolitical, security, and economic matters.

    The Age of Megathreats Nouriel RoubiniNov 4, 2022 op_roubini3_Getty Images_worlddisaster Getty Images NEW YORK – Severe megathreats are imperiling our future – not just our jobs, incomes, wealth, and the global economy, but also the relative peace, prosperity, and progress achieved over the past 75 years.

Against this backdrop, economic cycles were contained, and recessions were short and shallow, except for during the stagflationary decade of the 1970s; but even then, there were no debt crises in advanced economies, because debt ratios were low. The kind of financial cycles that lead to crises were contained not just in advanced economies but even in emerging markets, owing to the low leverage, low risk-taking, solid financial regulation, capital controls, and various forms of financial repression that prevailed during this period. The advanced economies were strong liberal democracies that were free of extreme partisan polarization. Populism and authoritarianism were confined to a benighted cohort of poorer countries. Goodbye to All That Fast-forward from this relatively “golden” period between 1945 and 1985 to late 2022, and you will immediately notice that we are awash in new, extreme megathreats that were not previously on anyone’s mind. The world has entered what I call a geopolitical depression, with (at least) four dangerous revisionist powers – China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea – challenging the economic, financial, security, and geopolitical order that the United States and its allies created after WWII. There is a sharply rising risk not only of war among great powers but of a nuclear conflict. In the coming year, Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine could escalate into an unconventional conflict that directly involves NATO. And Israel – and perhaps the US – may decide to launch strikes against Iran, which is on its way to building a nuclear bomb.

Subscribe Now With Chinese President Xi Jinping further consolidating his authoritarian rule, and with the US tightening its trade restrictions against China, the new Sino-American cold war is getting colder by the day. Worse, it could all too easily turn hot over the status of Taiwan, which Xi is committed to reuniting with the mainland, and which US President Joe Biden is apparently committed to defending. Meanwhile, nuclear-armed North Korea has once again been seeking attention by firing rockets over Japan and South Korea. Cyberwarfare occurs daily between these revisionist powers and the West, and many other countries have adopted a non-aligned posture toward Western-led sanctions regimes. From our contingent vantage point in the middle of all these events, we don’t yet know if World War III has already begun in Ukraine. That determination will be left to future historians – if there are any. Even discounting the threat of nuclear Armageddon, the risk of an environmental Apocalypse is becoming increasingly serious, especially given that most of the talk about net-zero and ESG (environment, social, and governance) investing is just greenwashing – or greenwishing. The new greenflation is already in full swing, because it turns out that amassing the metals needed for the energy transition requires a lot of expensive energy. There is also a growing risk of new pandemics that would be worse than biblical plagues, owing to the link between environmental destruction and zoonotic diseases. Wildlife, carrying dangerous pathogens, are coming into closer and more frequent contact with humans and livestock. That is why we have experienced more frequent and virulent pandemics and epidemics (HIV, SARS, MERS, swine flu, bird flu, Zika, Ebola, COVID-19) since the early 1980s. All the evidence suggests that this problem will become even worse in the future. Indeed, owing to the melting of Siberian permafrost, we may soon be confronting dangerous viruses and bacteria that have been locked away for millennia. Moreover, geopolitical conflicts and national-security concerns are fueling trade, financial, and technology wars, and accelerating the deglobalization process. The return of protectionism and the Sino-American decoupling will leave the global economy, supply chains, and markets more balkanized and fragmented. The buzzwords “friend-shoring” and “secure and fair trade” have replaced “offshoring” and “free trade.” But on the domestic front, advances in AI, robotics, and automation will destroy more and more jobs, even if policymakers build higher protectionist walls in an effort to fight the last war. By both restricting immigration and demanding more domestic production, aging advanced economies will create a stronger incentive for companies to adopt labor-saving technologies. While routine jobs are obviously at risk, so, too, are any cognitive jobs that can be unbundled into discrete tasks, and even many creative jobs. AI language models like GPT-3 can already write better than most humans and will almost certainly displace many jobs and sources of income. In due course, some scientists believe that Homo sapiens will be rendered entirely obsolete by the rise of artificial general intelligence or machine super-intelligence – though this is a highly contentious subject of debate. Thus, over time, economic malaise will deepen, inequality will rise even further, and more white- and blue-collar workers will be left behind. Hard Choices, Hard Landings The macroeconomic situation is no better. For the first time since the 1970s, we are facing high inflation and the prospect of a recession – stagflation. The increased inflation in advanced economies wasn’t “transitory.” It is persistent, driven by a combination of bad policies – excessively loose monetary, fiscal, and credit policies that were kept in place for too long – and bad luck. No one could have anticipated how much the initial COVID-19 shock would curtail the supply of goods and labor and create bottlenecks in global supply chains. The same goes for Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, which caused a sharp spike in energy, food, fertilizers, industrial metals, and other commodities. Meanwhile, China has continued its “zero-COVID” policy, which is creating additional supply bottlenecks. While both demand and supply factors were in the mix, it is now widely recognized that the supply factors have played an increasingly decisive role. This matters for the economic outlook, because supply-driven inflation is stagflationary and thus increases the risk that monetary-policy tightening will produce a hard landing (increased unemployment and potentially a recession). What will follow from the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks’ current tightening? Until recently, most central banks and most of Wall Street belonged to “Team Soft Landing.” But the consensus has rapidly shifted, with even Fed Chair Jerome Powell recognizing that a recession is possible, that a soft landing will be “very challenging,” and that everyone should prepare for some “pain” ahead. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s model shows a high probability of a hard landing, and the Bank of England has expressed similar views about the United Kingdom. Several prominent Wall Street institutions have also now made a recession their baseline scenario (the most likely outcome if all other variables are held constant). History, too, points to deeper problems ahead. For the past 60 years in the US, whenever inflation has been above 5% (it is above 8% today), and unemployment has been below 5% (it is now 3.5%), any attempt by the Fed to bring inflation down toward its 2% target has caused a recession. Thus, a hard landing is much more likely than a soft landing, both in the US and across most other advanced economies. Sticky Stagflation In addition to the short-term factors, negative supply shocks and demand factors in the medium term will cause inflation to persist. On the supply side, I count eleven negative supply shocks that will reduce potential growth and increase the costs of production. Among these is the backlash against hyper-globalization, which has been gaining momentum and creating opportunities for populist, nativist, and protectionist politicians, and growing public anger over stark income and wealth inequalities, which is leading to more policies to support workers and the “left behind.” However well-intentioned, such measures will contribute to a dangerous wage-price spiral. Other sources of persistent inflation include rising protectionism (from both the left and the right), which has restricted trade, impeded the movement of capital, and heightened political resistance to immigration, which in turn has put additional upward pressure on wages. National-security and strategic considerations have further restricted flows of technology, data, and talent, and new labor and environmental standards, as important as they may be, are hampering both trade and new construction. This balkanization of the global economy is deeply stagflationary, and it is coinciding with demographic aging, not just in developed countries but also in large emerging economies such as China. Because young people tend to produce and save more, whereas older people spend down their savings and require many more expensive services in health care and other sectors, this trend, too, will lead to higher prices and slower growth. Today’s geopolitical turmoil further complicates matters. The disruptions to trade and the spike in commodity prices following Russia’s invasion were not just a one-off phenomenon. The same threats to harvests and food shipments that arose in 2022 may well persist in 2023. Moreover, if China does finally end its zero-COVID policy and begin to restart its economy, a surge in demand for many commodities will add to the global inflationary pressures. There is also no end in sight for Sino-Western decoupling, which is accelerating across all dimensions of trade (goods, services, capital, labor, technology, data, and information). And, of course, Iran, North Korea, and other strategic rivals to the West could soon contribute in their own ways to the global havoc. Now that the US dollar has been fully weaponized for strategic and national-security purposes, its position as the main global reserve currency could eventually begin to decline, and a weaker dollar would of course add to inflationary pressures in the US. More broadly, a frictionless world trading system requires a frictionless financial system. But sweeping primary and secondary sanctions have thrown sand in what was once a well-oiled machine, massively increasing the transaction costs of trade. On top of it all, climate change, too, will create persistent stagflationary pressures. Droughts, heat waves, hurricanes, and other disasters are increasingly disrupting economic activity and threatening harvests (thus driving up food prices). At the same time, demands for decarbonization have led to underinvestment in fossil-fuel capacity before investment in renewables has reached the point where they can make up the difference. Today’s large energy-price spikes were inevitable. The increased likelihood of future pandemics also represents a persistent source of stagflation, especially considering how little has been done to prevent or prepare for the next one. The next contagious outbreak will lend further momentum to protectionist policies as countries rush to close borders and hoard critical supplies of food, medicines, and other essential goods. Finally, cyberwarfare remains an underappreciated threat to economic activity and even public safety. Firms and governments will either face more stagflationary disruptions to production, or they will have to spend a fortune on cybersecurity. Either way, costs will rise. The Worst of All Possible Economies When the recession comes, it will not be short and shallow but long and severe. Not only are we facing persistent short- and medium-term negative supply shocks, but we are also heading into the mother of all debt crises, owing to soaring private and public debt ratios over the last few decades. Low debt ratios spared us from that outcome in the 1970s. And though we certainly had debt crises following the 2008 crash – the result of excessive household, bank, and government debt – we also had deflation. It was a demand shock and a credit crunch that could be met with massive monetary, fiscal, and credit easing. Today, we are experiencing the worst elements of both the 1970s and 2008. Multiple, persistent negative supply shocks have coincided with debt ratios that are even higher than they were during the global financial crisis. These inflationary pressures are forcing central banks to tighten monetary policy even though we are heading into a recession. That makes the current situation fundamentally different from both the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 crisis. Everyone should be preparing for what may come to be remembered as the Great Stagflationary Debt Crisis. While central banks have been at pains to sound more hawkish, we should be skeptical of their professed willingness to fight inflation at any cost. Once they find themselves in a debt trap, they will have to blink. With debt ratios so high, fighting inflation will cause an economic and financial crash that will be deemed politically unacceptable. Major central banks will feel as though they have no choice but to backpedal, and inflation, the debasement of fiat currencies, boom-bust cycles, and financial crises will become even more severe and frequent. The inevitability of central banks wimping out was recently on display in the United Kingdom. Faced with the market reaction to the Truss government’s reckless fiscal stimulus, the BOE had to launch an emergency quantitative-easing (QE) program to buy up government bonds. That sad episode confirmed that in the UK, as in many other countries, monetary policy is increasingly subject to fiscal capture. Recall that a similar turnaround occurred in 2019, when the Fed, after previously signaling continued rate hikes and quantitative-tightening, stopped its QT program and started pursuing a mix of backdoor QE and policy-rate cuts at the first sign of mild financial pressures and a growth slowdown. Central banks will talk tough; but, in a world of excessive debt and risks of an economic and financial crash, there is good reason to doubt their willingness to do “whatever it takes” to return inflation to its target rate. With governments unable to reduce high debts and deficits by spending less or raising revenues, those that can borrow in their own currency will increasingly resort to the “inflation tax”: relying on unexpected price growth to wipe out long-term nominal liabilities at fixed interest rates. How will financial markets and prices of equities and bonds perform in the face of rising inflation and the return of stagflation? It is likely that, as in the stagflation of the 1970s, both components of any traditional asset portfolio will suffer, potentially incurring massive losses. Inflation is bad for bond portfolios, which will take losses as yields increase and prices fall, as well as for equities, whose valuations are hurt by rising interest rates. For the first time in decades, a 60/40 portfolio of equities and bonds suffered massive losses in 2022, because bond yields have surged while equities have gone into a bear market. By 1982, at the peak of the stagflation decade, the average S&P 500 firm’s price-to-earnings ratio was down to eight; today, it is closer to 20, which suggests that the bear market could end up being even more protracted and severe. Investors will need to find assets to hedge against inflation, political and geopolitical risks, and environmental damage: these include short-term government bonds and inflation-indexed bonds, gold and other precious metals, and real estate that is resilient to environmental damage. The Moment of Truth In any case, these megathreats will further contribute to rising income and wealth inequality, which has already been putting severe pressure on liberal democracies (as those left behind revolt against elites), and fueling the rise of radical and aggressive populist regimes. One can find right-wing manifestations of this trend in Russia, Turkey, Hungary, Italy, Sweden, the US (under Donald Trump), post-Brexit Britain, and many other countries; and left-wing manifestations in Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and now Brazil (which has just replaced a right-wing populist with a left-wing one). And, of course, Xi’s authoritarian stranglehold has given the lie to the old idea that Western engagement with a fast-growing China would ineluctably lead that country to open itself up even more to markets and, eventually, to democratic processes. Under Xi, China shows every sign of becoming more closed off, and more aggressive on geopolitical, security, and economic matters. How did it come to this? Part of the problem is that we have long had our heads stuck in the sand. Now, we need to make up for lost time. Without decisive action, we will be heading into a period that is less like the four decades after WWII than like the three decades between 1914 and 1945. That period gave us World War I; the Spanish flu pandemic; the 1929 Wall Street crash; the Great Depression; massive trade and currency wars; inflation, hyperinflation, and deflation; financial and debt crises, leading to massive meltdowns and defaults; and the rise of authoritarian militarist regimes in Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, and elsewhere, culminating in WWII and the Holocaust. In this new world, the relative peace, prosperity, and rising global welfare that we have taken for granted will be gone; most of it already is. If we don’t stop the multi-track slow-motion train wreck that is threatening the global economy and our planet at large, we will be lucky to have only a repeat of the stagflationary 1970s. Far more likely is an echo of the 1930s and the 1940s, only now with all the massive disruptions from climate change added to the mix. Avoiding a dystopian scenario will not be easy. While there are potential solutions to each megathreat, most are costly in the short run and will deliver benefits only over the long run. Many also require technological innovations that are not yet available or in place, starting with those needed to halt or reverse climate change. Complicating matters further, today’s megathreats are interconnected, and therefore best addressed in a systematic and coherent fashion. Domestic leadership, in both the private and public sector, and international cooperation among great powers is necessary to prevent the coming Apocalypse. Yet there are many domestic and international obstacles standing in the way of policies that would allow for a less dystopian (though still contested and conflictual) future. Thus, while a less bleak scenario is obviously desirable, a clear-headed analysis indicates that dystopia is much more likely than a happier outcome. The years and decades ahead will be marked by a stagflationary debt crisis and related megathreats – war, pandemics, climate change, disruptive AI, and deglobalization – all of which will be bad for jobs, economies, markets, peace, and prosperity.
