This is not a Clash of Countries

Alex warns that this election is about more than just party politics—it reflects a deeper conflict between two systems of governance. The U.S. imperialistic, neo-colonial model now faces challenges from emerging powers. Meanwhile, the looming threat of World War III grows as advanced weapons spread globally.

America’s military dominance is not what it once was, and continued foreign entanglements could come at a great cost. Alex argues that the real issue isn’t a clash between nations but between governance models: the Western oligarchic system versus the aspirations of the rest of humanity.

Alex cautions voters to evaluate campaign promises critically, as candidates often lack the ability—or intent—to fulfill them. He believes Donald Trump’s independence from the military-industrial complex sets him apart. Trump’s efforts to withdraw U.S. troops and reduce military interventions during his presidency, Alex claims, were beneficial for both the U.S. and the world.

There is No Great Awakening

When asked if people are waking up to the crisis at hand, Alex suggests that while not everyone will become fully aware, more people than ever are questioning the status quo. Recent events have shaken perceptions, encouraging people to reevaluate the systems they once trusted.

However, Alex emphasizes that awakening is a gradual process, and everyone progresses at their own pace. Those in power are struggling to control the narrative, and collective awareness has the potential to shift societal dynamics.

Is there Hope?

In a world where trust feels elusive, Alex encourages listeners to rely on their inner compass and spiritual intuition. Change doesn’t require a singular leader—people can resist destructive agendas by asking questions, sharing information, and expressing doubt, just as they have in the past.

Though the current political climate feels dark, Alex believes that Americans have the resources and potential to rebuild the nation. By dismantling corrupt governance structures, the U.S. can create a brighter future for coming generations.
