Trump II, the digital Caligula, declared a new "golden age of the Middle East" before the Israeli Knesset. Thank the Lord for the release of hostages and the cessation of the Gaza War. This joyous day should stand alone given its relief for so many and the potential to create better societies for everyone.
However, it's important to remember who negotiated the peace deal, Affinity Partners founder Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff, "one part developer, one part investor and one part landscape-changer." A private equity underwriter (PEU) and real estate magnate aligned Middle East monarchies to strike a grand deal.
Gaza peace will go from PEU negotiated to PEU overseen. That's the odd odor emanating from the soon to be signed sheets of paper
Trump the Obliterator is now Trump the Savior. Ask the greed and leverage boys, now putting big money to work in the region.
No regulatory capital required and access to Future District Funds. Sweet!
Why are Middle Eastern monarchs attracting VC and PEU firms and their associated digital/tech sectors? They want the latest high tech toys to monitor and control their citizenry. They crave the latest in war fighting technology as at least one revered monarch in their lineage rose to power via violence and they need to defend their crown against internal/external threats.
TechGods and PEUs want a role in the rebuilding and as major contractors to governments throughout the region. TechGods cut their teeth on creative destruction and creating workforce surveillance states. PEUs became legendary via nonlobbying political connections and tapping Uncle Sam's wallet. Combine these predilections/skillsets and one can see where the "golden age of the Middle East" is going.
People will have the freedom to line up squarely in support of the monarch. Anything otherwise will result in the loss of freedom. And yes, it will be a very profitable freedom for a select few.
