BRUNO BERTEZ

I appreciate Berletic because he is coherent.

He has an analytical framework and sticks to it so consistently that this framework provides excellent intelligibility of the events he analyzes.

He doesn’t perform rhetorical pirouettes — he pulls on a single thread.

The continuity of the historical process finds its echo in the continuity of Berletic’s narrative. It is both logical and dialectical because he integrates the interplay of opposing forces and the results or outcomes that emerge from them.

You will notice that further down, at the end of his article, I have put a paragraph in bold.Why? Because this is precisely where Berletic lays down a foundation, but without demonstrating that it is a foundation, without analyzing the causalities, without showing the organic mechanism he presupposes, and without revealing the transmission process. At that point, his reflection falls short.

He says:

“This process is in reality determined on Wall Street.”

And like nearly 100% of observers, he glides over it and does not stop.

The fact that the war is determined on Wall Street is as obvious as the air we breathe; we don’t pay attention to it. It goes without saying.

Berletic tells us that the war is not decided in Washington, but he is actually saying something much stronger: it is determined there. And “determined” is far stronger than “decided” — it is a necessity!

Like death, like gravity, etc. There is no escaping it. Necessity belongs to the realm of the gods, while decision and will belong to the human realm.

It is precisely when people like Berletic stop thinking that I start thinking! Because it is at this level — at the point where reflection stops, in the unsaid and the unknown — that the meaning and intelligibility of the phenomena are to be found.

What Berletic asserts without demonstrating it, without analyzing it, and without making it explicit is this:It is in the determinism of capital, in its dialectical logic, and in its crisis that the mechanism of war is found. War is the manifestation of the crisis of capital and of its attempt to overcome it once again through military imperialism.

This is what I have been demonstrating for decades, and especially since the unresolved but constantly postponed crisis of capital overaccumulation and insufficient profit that broke out in 2008 — a crisis that triggered a monetary headlong flight and the formation of a financial bubble, and thus of Wall Street.

Now the die is cast.

Capital has accelerated its fictitious character. Power has been seized by Wall Street. One must obey and submit.

A mechanism has been set in motion, determinism has been activated, and the gears engaged when, instead of accepting the destruction of the rotten capital that had run its course in 2008, they chose to keep it alive through monetary debauchery. This gave full power to Wall Street.

Berletic’s text:

Berletic explains how the war against Iran has been continuously planned since at least 2000–2008 under the presidency of George W. Bush… how extremist proxies and opposition groups were prepared well before the “Arab Spring” in 2011 to destabilize nations like Yemen and Syria… the collapse of Syria in 2024 — creating the air corridors necessary to launch attacks against Iran in 2025 and 2026… all while using, in the same way, war and proxy war against Russia and China to keep the multipolar world in a state of imbalance and unable to react.This process continues, whatever the discourse coming out of Washington, because it is in reality determined on Wall Street.
