TZKP 2 To Clean
00:00:00 Speaker: Hey guys, welcome back to the Zephyr Kombetar podcast. Today I'm going to walk you through how different news outlets are reporting on the latest development in the Us-iran situation, specifically this two week ceasefire that's just been announced. And then after that, let's take a moment to think about what this might actually mean. So starting with the core update, according to The Straits Times in Singapore, US President Donald Trump has agreed to suspend bombing Iran for two weeks, just before a deadline he had set to escalate attacks. The one where the whole world was waiting and watching to see what happened. This comes after more than five weeks of heavy strikes involving both United States and Israel. I believe that was about first March when the war was announced. The pause is conditional. One of the key requirements is that Iran re-opens the Strait of Hormuz. I say it as Hormuz because I'm Persian. You can call it Hormuz. That's up to you, which is a critical global route for oil shipments. Trump said this decision came after discussions with Pakistan's leadership, who requested that he delay further attacks to allow diplomacy. He also claimed that the US had already achieved its military objectives, and that a longer term peace agreement may be within reach. Looking at Iran's position, reports from the Guardian say Iran has proposed a ten point plan as the basis for negotiations. This includes demands such as lifting sanctions, maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz, US military withdrawal from the region and a complete stop to attacks on Iran and its allies. There are also calls to release frozen Iranian assets and formalize any agreement through the United Nations. At the same time, analysts are pointing out these demands are quite ambitious and may not be fully accepted by the US, meaning this is just likely a starting point for negotiations. Personally, I completely agree. But let me give you the rest of my commentary at the end. Now, Al Jazeera, who I looked up online, adds another dimension to this. According to their reporting, countries around the world have broadly welcomed the ceasefire as a positive step. But I'd like to add there. I mean, what's new? We were waiting for a ceasefire for a long time, or at least a large portion of the world was. Whatever your personal opinion about the war and freedom might be, and the Iranian people's freedom and all that, and we'll get to that in a second. Leaders and governments across regions including Egypt, Iraq, Japan, Indonesia and Australia are calling this an opportunity for diplomacy and urging both sides to fully commit to the agreement. The United Nations has also emphasized that ending hostilities is critical to protecting civilian lives and reducing human suffering. However, not everything is aligned as you would expect. There are conflicting views about what exactly this ceasefire includes. For example, Israel has said that while it supports the pause in strikes against Iran, the ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon, where fighting is still ongoing. So even though there is a broader announcement of de-escalation, parts of the region may still remain active. And I believe this would be obvious to. I'm just going to say it anyone with a brain. If you've seen how these conflicts go, even if we take a small example of a government ruling a country, any country, even a peaceful country, just because there are rules in place doesn't mean everybody's following them on the ground. The situation also appears unstable. CNN reports that missile activity was still being observed in parts of the region shortly after the cease fire was announced. So while there is an agreement in principle, it doesn't necessarily mean that everything has immediately stopped. Another key issue is the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has said it will allow safe passage during this two week period, but under coordination with its own military. That means the strait may be open, but control over it is still very much a point of tension. And if talks fail, there's always the possibility that it could be restricted again. Looking ahead, the next step is diplomacy. Pakistan has invited both U.S. and Iranian delegations to Islamabad for talks expected to begin within days. This two week window is essentially a pause, a chance for negotiations to either move toward a longer term agreement or breakdown. I pretty much laughed out loud when I read that one, because Pakistan inviting people to talk about peace would be like a kid in a candy store trying to cure cancer. So that's where things stand right now. A temporary ceasefire, competing demands on both sides, mixed signals on the ground. So that's where things stand right now. A temporary ceasefire, competing demands on both sides. mixed signals on the ground and a short window for diplomacy to play out. Apparently, by the way, because that's what the news is reporting, and that is what the US and Iran have apparently said. Now, there are many things to consider over here. And let's just start with the most pressing one, which is from a human angle, the safety and security of the people who live in Iran and its surrounding areas. Because US and Israel have been rumored to bomb these areas, Iran has been rumored to bomb their own allies, who are also allies with the US and Israel in these regions. And it's basically a shit show in the Middle East, my friends. But let's look at this step by step. Now. The first thing is the people in Iran have been calling for the IRGC to be removed for a very long time now, respectfully. So because things have been done to them, like their citizens being shot, killed, raped, hanged, and so on and so forth for apparently Lawful reasons or good reasons or plausible reasons by the administration, which is the IRGC themselves. If we are speaking practically and considering the fact that the president hardly has any power, and so on and so forth, but very unlawfully, inhumanely and despicably by the rest of the planet, who's watching on and going, you guys are pretty much behaving like you're from the Stone age. But I did a reflection on this. I believe in episode one, where I believe even in the Stone age, things might have been more natural. I think we're just and more fun loving and more harmonious with nature. And people could wear what they want however they wanted instead of being beaten and thrown in a van. I think we're using the term Stone age because we're thinking of stones, which the IRGC and other Middle Eastern countries have used to kill people with. And I think that's why we're all using the phrase Stone age. It's not actually the Stone age. I don't think so. If we go back in history and research what happened there, I could be wrong, but that's my feeling. What will happen to the IRGC if the US stops right now, I have a feeling they're going to regroup and get stronger. And not only are they going to be even more mad at the US for the future and other allied countries who supported them in this war even remotely, but they're going to be extremely mad at their citizens, and they're probably going to be extremely mad at all the reporters and journalists out there, the famous ones, anyway, who was saying that the IRGC is bad, and so on and so forth. But I think any human being with a conscience in today's day and age, who's a modern human and who has evolved past the point of violence, greed, and things like that, as we see as the spiritual awakening on earth spreads is going to denounce them and often publicly so personally. For example, I am not that famous, but one day I might be on their radar, You know, as, oh, this is one of the twenty five zero zero zero people around the world who says that we are bad or that the IRGC is bad. You never know with these people. Apparently some of their citizens can be hanged just for saying that the IRGC is the enemy or speaking out against them. So what would they do to other citizens passing through their countries? So personally, I have never traveled to Pakistan. I have never traveled to the Middle East, although I'm Persian, but I live in Singapore. I will never travel there because the moment you see the news of things happening like this, even if all my Muslim friends around the world and I do have a lot, they do say, yeah, but that's the Western media. That's what the US is showing you, the US. Well, let's think about it like this. Yes, sure. It could be Western media. And if you're going to spirituality and nobody knows this more than I do, a lot of the news worldwide is manufactured, and a lot of it is by the same central news outlet telling all its other smaller news outlets around the world, which we call the evening news. What to say? I get that. However, I do not believe that they've manufactured every single video of violence in the Middle East. And I'm using the word manufactured there to refer to the actual video, not the causes for all that violence. I don't think they've they've manufactured every single video, which then means that there is violence in these in these regions. And if there is violence in these regions, would you, as a family person go there? I think the common sense answer is no, unless you're a fucking idiot. So I have not ever been to the Middle East and I won't while these conflicts continue. It is dangerous and I have a nice life, so I'm not going to be doing that. Or at least I view life nicely. Have inner peace, however you want to view that spiritually. So we're not going to go there. The fact that we're not going to go there shows what the people of Iran must be going through on a daily basis. They live there. We don't even want to go there for a week. So imagine that. Now, the other thing that's going to mean is that if the US disappears from there or the bombing stops, not just the it's not just the IRGC that's going to grow stronger. It's going to be other militia groups as well, other proxy groups as well. And Iran and and Pakistan and other places like this are going to continue funding terror. If, you know, whatever we've heard in the news is to be believed. Again, a lot of people might say that's Western media. Fine. But, you know, I'd like to dare you then to take a holiday there and see what happens and report back to us. Maybe you're right. Maybe nothing's going on there. Maybe all this news is manufactured. Who knows? Who knows? At this point in twenty twenty six, what's actually going on? Unless it's happening in front of you. But I'm not willing to take that risk because I'm a family man. So if you want to take that risk and report back to the rest of us about how your time was over there, please be my guest. You'll be doing the world a service. That said, It. Even when people report independently, there's no stopping one thousand Facebook commenters from going, oh, that's all propaganda. So then what do we actually believe? Even if you go there and you start your own blog and explain, no, I saw this. Here are some photos people on Facebook. Once you share them are going to be, oh, this is all manufactured US propaganda. So in that case, which human being are we to believe? So I guess believe yourself then if you see it, it must be true for you. I guess that's the point that I have finally arrived at as a citizen, a scientist, a researcher, a philosopher. And you know, when I turn on my science hat or my philosophy hat or my discovery hat, personally, I want to see these these things happen in front of me in real time. That's just the way I live my life. And as I'm explaining that to you, I'm starting to understand that is probably what is going to be needed for the long run for us to actually believe things, and understandably so. Understandably so. I'm personally against it. I wish we could trust other humans, and sometimes I do. And sometimes people say I'm overtrusting, but understandably so. Why? People would say that's not an option anymore. It has to happen in front of you firsthand, you know? And this extends into spirituality and other things like like seeing ghosts, whatever, speaking to the other realms, whatever we might say. Now, if the militia and IRGC and other people out there gain power again, what's to stop them from developing more weapons and being an aggressive force again? Now, some people might say, hey, but that's their right. They're a country, I agree. Sure, go for it. But I'm just saying that that means that that area was not exactly wiped out as Donald Trump seemed to be planning from his words. There's a high likelihood of future conflicts going on there. I find it rather disillusioning and hilarious that other countries are calling for a ceasefire. And when people play the humanity card, that is hilarious to me personally, because it's obvious at this point that many countries engage in the oppression of other countries and people around the world who are less fortunate. Every country, I mean, you just have to open up YouTube or search news deeply and scroll past page one and you will see things like modern countries like France and Singapore are all invested in the sort of exploitation of Africa. You know, now a lot of these governments will say, and I don't blame them necessarily, because we are an interconnected world. So if somebody another country approaches you and say, hi, do you want to sink six billion dollars over here? This is what you're going to get. Of course, you're going to say yes for your people, right? You might do some research and you might find out, oh, it's actually slaves that are being used that are transporting this rice or fuel or oil or whatever to us food, livestock and so on. But what can you say when you have thirty million people to feed as a city? What are you going to say? No. What if your country has no natural resources like Singapore? So I don't really blame Singapore or any country for doing that. But I am making everybody aware, including hopefully the government, that what we're doing on planet earth right now is pretty unkind. So if you'd like to look at that through your own lens and your own conscience and start to change that for the better, slowly and steadily you could. You know, I don't like to use the word should because that's your own free will and your own life path, and you can answer to your own God and spiritual guide and so on. That's for you to figure out. But the purpose of this podcast is to make people aware that these things are happening, and they're happening now. They're not happening in some storybook thirty five years ago. They're happening now. So if you want to make the world a better place, you really have to start making the world a better place and not just wait for your government. Please help your government by all means. But all this stuff is going on on planet earth. You know, there was even once I researched when shrimp are being bought by the majority of the planet, a large part of the shrimp exports to the rest of the planet come from Thailand. And in Thailand, farming shrimp, or rather catching shrimp in the ocean is a slave trade. They literally pick up people from villages, throw them onto boats, and they don't see their family for twenty years. And they say, now you are gonna peel shrimp for twenty years, and you might have eaten that shrimp just to update you. So, you know, a lot of people don't even know that you're eating shrimp, the shrimp on your plate that you're so lovingly cooking shrimp aglio olio and putting it into your five year old's mouth is the product of slavery. So where do we go with this? And I'll cover more about this in another episode. Another time. So going back to the main topic. It is unlikely that for the long run, organizations like the CIA, the FBI, the Mossad and the IRGC Special Forces, I don't know what they're called at this point because I was pretty much disgusted by the behavior. I guess they are called the IRGC. So I don't know. There might be other departments, but I was pretty much disgusted by what I heard from, uh, about what they do to their citizens. And so I haven't really researched much on Iran yet, but it is unlikely that all these forces are going to stop securing these nations, especially when there's oil at play. There's nuclear weapons at play. I've spoken to a couple of friends in Singapore who worked in the armed forces, and they've told me that it is very unlikely that nuclear war is going to happen. And I'd like to thank them for telling me that, because they told me that a few years ago and I did not believe them. But if a few months ago it was all over the internet, on YouTube, on Steven's podcast, on the diary of a CEO, where, you know, Andrew Bustamante, I think that's how you say his name, the ex-CIA agent, or at least that's what they say was saying why nuclear war is pretty much unlikely. And he and this other lady who studies sort of arms, armed forces and security for a living, I forget her name now, but very fantastic lady who's written a few books, they all said together on the podcast that they disagree that nuclear war is likely to happen because if it does, the world ends in thirty one minutes or something, and all the nations know this. Obviously, the governments would know this. And the militaries, you know, who are classified to know this information would know it. And hence nobody wants the world to end, hopefully, and hence nobody's going to start a nuclear war anyway. While they make call this a cease fire. I think Trump has pretty much achieved his objective of showing the IRGC and the Iranian military that We can flatten the country any time we wish, and I think they can. But then other parts of the world might step in, and so on and so forth. Also about the rumor that US was saying that China probably stepped in. You know, you hear a lot these days about China and Russia working with Iran. They're not working with Iran then working with Iran. I mean, you really don't know what to believe. And if they did, though, that's good because they are, you know, obviously in their senses going, let's not blow up the whole planet. Well, hopefully that's their aim. Because you see, at this point, you can't be sure how petty or un petty the world leaders actually are. There's actually people like Graham Hancock saying on video, on YouTube and even on his own Facebook page. I think he was being interviewed by someone where he said, world leaders, these are not world leaders. This is the behavior of kids in a schoolyard. I don't respect any of these so-called world leaders. They're basically children in adult bodies. I'm paraphrasing a little bit, but that's basically what he said, which is they do not behave the way that mature adults behave. And I completely agree. Now that's one view. The other view is they're actually very mature and very smart in the sense that they are portraying to us that this is what's going on. But actually behind the scenes, other things are going on. And I don't mean things as basic and childlike as, oh, they know an Armageddon is coming, so they are hiding in their caves. Yeah, fine. I mean, that's even even that is understandable. That's human. Right? You would too, if you had the resources, you would build a cave, just like as a normal citizen. When you have resources, you buy more houses, you buy more apartments. It's called being safe. That is a very human need. But that's not what I'm referring to. I mean, something like, and now we're stepping into conspiracy theory territory, which is something deeper. There's all kinds of conspiracies out there, some proven true, some declassified files from the CIA and other places which you can find on the internet. I personally haven't found them or looked for them because I'm not that advanced at internet usage. I'm probably tech dumb at this point, but given the fact that it's twenty twenty six and kids are coding entire programs and operating systems in ten minutes, so I'm not there. However, I have heard people talk about it where other YouTubers talk about it, where some of these files were declassified. And a lot of these things are pretty fascinating where aliens are not a secret anymore. Other um, species and other on other planets are not a secret anymore. Could there be other civilizations on other planets sort of using earth as a base, sort of lording over earth? There are other theories from Japan. If you watch the ikigai documentary on Netflix, where this lady, I believe it was the ikigai or another documentary on Netflix about UFOs, where this Japanese lady. And Japan tends to be a very spiritual place. And that's where Reiki comes from. And I've done Reiki to where this lady was saying, oh, the extraterrestrials actually protect earth. So each time a nuclear war or something like that's going to happen, like even Chernobyl and blah, blah, blah, the other entities from other planets and dimensions are swarming all over that place, protecting humans from it. That's another theory. You know, the, the benevolence theory. So for me personally, I contact other spirits and guides and see into people's past lives if you believe in reincarnation and so on, I speak to them and they are on the presumption that I'm calling in benevolent entities and speaking to benevolent entities because it is for life guidance and so on. If you think that's a bunch of woo and a bunch of hogwash, try to explain this. I did a face reading for the for a friend. I did a face reading. I did a face reading for a friend in the UK and saw one of her past lives at the same time, or a few years before that. Another friend of hers did a face reading for her. Sorry, did a reading into her past lives for her and I've never met that person before. And she told me when I did my reading that I recounted the exact same past life as that person. How is that possible? So there is something metaphysically happening. We don't really see the entire visible. We don't entirely see the full light spectrum. We don't hear the full sound spectrum. There are things that are going on around us and so on and so forth. Obviously another topic for another day. My point being, what if that is the real juice of what's happening but all these human things you see, oh, this one shot a missile at that one, and that one shot a missile at that one. What if that is just a small, small pot on a huge whiteboard in a multidimensional boardroom, where entities are discussing what's going on right now, and the wars on earth between human beings are just a small part of that. That's also something to consider if you're spiritually tuned. And we always have to shift between these perspectives of, oh no, the IRGC are being creeps and oh wow. This whole war is a pretend war. You know, we would never know necessarily. Um, not all of us, anyway. Some of us might figure it out at some point. Maybe you work in the government. Maybe you're an extraterrestrial. Maybe you can see into other realms like I and many people around the world do. And so we continue, we continue to check out these things and see what they mean for real life. Today. You might be in a country that's not getting bombed, but tomorrow you might be tomorrow your country might be at war. I think no country is more prepared for this than Singapore. I mean, just stating that because I live here. But Singapore has a armed forces of every citizen or almost every male citizen being ready anyway, all the time in case there's a war. I mean, that's what we can do, given the fact that we're a small population and so on. Thanks so much for tuning in and for listening to this news that I shared on eight April twenty twenty six. I'll be back for more. This is Zephyr Khambatta for the Zephyr Khambatta podcast.
