Thanks for joining me on this new endeavor that I have, this new podcast that I'm calling the Guelahara Geopolitics Institute.

And together with students, we talk to real experts such as yourselves, serious people to truly understand the world and something that's often lacking in our textbooks here in institutions.

And students are on summer break, so they follow the podcast and they join me to interview people like yourself during the semester.

So you're a risk consultant and best-selling author of books.

Well, it's a long list from Century of War, I believe, is your first book until Target China is your latest, correct?

Latest in English, it's not my latest book, but there are two subsequent books that have been published

in German and other languages.

Okay, and what did they touch on?

Which topics?

The one which is about to come out in English is called the Lost Hegemon, Hegemon,

whom the gods would destroy is a subtitle. And it's about the attempt by certain oligarchs in the United States,

very rich people who think they own the world to use radical Islam or to create radical Islam

through the war in Iraq, through the war in Syria, through many, many, many, many wars,

to advance a geopolitical agenda of controlling the world, controlling the world oil and so forth.

And harming China, harming Russia, the two most serious opponents of a single world order that George Bush spoke about in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Would that be similar to the books by Robert Dreyfus Devils game?

Not really. I know Robert Dreyfus's book quite well. I quoted a couple of chapters,

but it's rather quite quite different it goes into the

history of British and then later American intelligence attempts to use radical

Islam going back to the 1920s and I spend quite a bit of time going into the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1926

by Hassan Bana in Egypt and in effect using his words he created a death cult where to die for Allah killing infidels, meaning Christians or Shia Muslims or Sufi or whatever, is the greatest glory and that's the purpose of life, is to die.

And it's a little bit of an unhealthy ideology, in my view.
