By Allah, I see it with my own eyes—it will change the face of the Earth. It will be a regional, religious war that will burn everything, green and dry.

—Yahya Al-Sinwar, the architect of the Flood

Sri Lanka has declared Wednesdays a holiday and started rationing fuel because of the Ramadan War. Previously, we got perks for participating in White Empire. Now we're getting jerked because the Axis of Resistance is changing the world. I'm all for it, but not gonna lie, it hurts.

The Ramadan War first came home to Sri Lanka when dead Iranians washed up on our shores, after America attacked them and left them to drown. Sri Lanka saved those we could and recovered as many bodies as possible. This is very much our role in White Empire. Cleaning up after White people.

Now the Ramadan War has stayed home, because of what doesn't wash up on our shores. Steady oil and gas, for the foreseeable future. Petrol and diesel are rationed now, and cooking gas will be next to go. This is happening all over the region, from India to Sri Lanka to Bangladesh (just the places I know). When al-Sinwar said “it will be a regional, religious war that will burn everything, green and dry,” he didn't just mean the Middle East. He means Asia, and through Asia, the world.

Remember that most of the UAE is South Asian and much of the other Arab states also. South Asia supplies labor, the Middle East supplies energy, and the West supplies dollars. This was the triangle trade of my region, and it rang like a dinner bell for long enough. We got scraps but at least we got them, and our comprador elites got clover. But now that time is done, and like every geopolitical decision of the past decade, India has timed it precisely wrong. Modi just went to 'Israel' to promise more passport slaves, but Iran's True Promise has him tweeting in Persian now. It's too little, too late, and now nobody can make dosa.

This defeats the purpose of White Empire and thus defeats the Empire. The point of an empire is that it secure shipping lines and dictates terms. The terms might be bad, but at least they were predictable. The terms were that labor comes up, energy goes down, and the money all goes back to Washington. But now that deal has been torn up and burnt, like every US base in the region. The Fifth Fleet is in retreat and the US Navy has been defeated, first in the Red Sea and now in the Persian Gulf. Losers like this don't dictate terms, they take them. Now America is asking China for help, and China is like bro, we're good. Iran has been shipping more oil than ever, much of it going to China. So now everybody is blowing up Iran's phones, trying to get similar terms, while imperial refineries burn. Oh, how the tables have turned.

Colonialism always depended on collaborators (that's how a few thousand White people colonized crores). You had to have the local satraps and sepoys whip their own populations, and they did it for a share of the spoils. But that's all ruined now. The White Empire cannot guarantee delivery of oil and fertilizer from the Middle East. Indeed, if you collaborate with the Empire, you're guaranteed to get the least. The monsoon winds are changing and I can feel it.

That's why I say that Iran has already strategically defeated the White Empire. This is different than imperial losses in Vietnam and Afghanistan and all of its other colonies. In all of those cases they lost the land but kept the seas. Every former colony reintegrated into colonial capitalism, or suffered tremendously. Now we suffer for our integration, and can only prosper insomuch as we leave. The strategic calculation has changed entirely. Before we bowed if we wanted to eat. Now if we don't stand up, we don't eat. This is a sea change. Literally.

Just as the Strait of Hormuz was the source of a post Ice-Age flood (perhaps, the flood), the Al Aqsa Flood is rocking the world through Hormuz now. Everybody that did wicked deeds, by commission or omission, whether as slaves or slavers, will get buried in the economic crash to come. I've been saying it for years, but I think this is the big one. As the great al-Sinwar said, who leads us there kicking and screaming, “By Allah, I see it with my own eyes—it will change the face of the Earth. It will be a regional, religious war that will burn everything, green and dry.”

I tell you the war has come to Sri Lanka now, in bodies and out of fuel. I've been through a few collapses before so I think I recognize it. And please don't feel bad for me, feel bad for yourself, it's just a timing difference, and we're used to it. The last time (2022) we had an energy crisis was when Western money-lenders wanted their pound of flesh, and they cut our credit and shut off energy supplies. That was caused, I think, by the Empire securing backup aircraft carriers for this war now (look at Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh also. No point couping India, they're already retarded). We had no cooking gas, no fuel, and eventually 12-hour power cuts.

People protested and overthrew the elected government (what else would you do?) but then we ended up under unelected IMF administration, which—even after electing nominal communists—we can't escape from (where's Lenin when you need him?) This was the imperial system working as intended, enforcing power through control of energy and trade, shearing sheep and putting them back into the fold. This is why I say Sri Lanka is inside the White Empire. At any point they can turn the lights off. But now Iran has that power. As the Westerners say, there's a new sheriff in town.

This is a big change and if you haven't felt it yet, just wait. The White Empire is falling, and the detritus will fall on everybody that participated. Iran is killing the idea of Dubai, yes, but many more of us had the same idea, just less garishly. But this is the flood that washes away all such dreams, that you could sell your soul profitably. The change hurts now, but my hope is that by time Sri Lanka debt payments resume in 2027, there is no one to repay them to. As the Americans say, a little short-term pain for long-term gain. Life is getting hard again in Sri Lanka, but one lives in hope. The world could not go on like this. And so it doesn't.

Now excuse me, I have to secure supplies for my family. You should be thinking the same thing.
