Control everything that matters

Why Western democracy can never work in the Middle East
The Arab states are governed less by the rule of law than by the rule of favour.

Middle Eastern countries where family, tribe, sect and personal friendships trump the apparatus of the state. These are certainly not societies governed by the rule of law. On the contrary, they are better described as “favour for favour” societies. When you have a problem of any kind, you look for someone related to you by family, tribe or region to help you out and requests are most unlikely to be refused since these ties are especially powerful. In countries where there is no effective social security, your future security lies only in the often extensive family.

Behind what we might perceive as this somewhat chaotic structure lie the secret police and the armed forces. They hold the state together under the aegis of the president, king, or whoever rules the roost. That leader keeps the different elements of society in play with concessions to each group but he has an iron fist to be used when necessary, as the public well understand.

Control What Matters.


But as of March 2026, the tables have turned. Compared to the total war unfolding in West Asia, Libya’s current “Tripoli-Benghazi détente” looks like a beacon of relative stability.

Libya’s first oil field licensing round since the removal of Muammar Gaddafi as leader in 2011 has seen a slew of major Western international oil companies (IOCs) choose to either re-enter the country after a long absence or bolster their existing operations in a stunning success for Tripoli. As part of the National Oil Corporation’s (NOC) target of lifting oil production to 2 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2028, it announced last year that 22 offshore and onshore blocks would be licensed in the initial bidding round. Perhaps the standout winner of a contract award was U.S. supermajor Chevron, designated as the winning bidder for Contract Area 106 in the country’s oil-rich Sirte Basin, marking its return to the country after a 16-year hiatus. Other Western majors that secured new fields were Italy’s ENI, Spain’s Repsol, and Hungary’s MOL, with Middle East heavyweight QatarEnergy also gaining an award. So, does all this herald a brave new era for Libya, or will it turn out to be just another false dawn?

Haftar’s system: control everything that matters'

Backed by Egyptian and Emirati airstrikes, his forces attacked jihadist factions and revolutionary brigades in Benghazi and Tripoli.

The UAE, Egypt and later Russia – invested in his survival. He would not govern or hold office, but he controlled the men who did. What he had rehearsed in Chad, refined in exile, and tested in Benghazi, was complete. The system had found its country.

The foundation of his power is oil. In September 2016, Haftar’s forces seized the “oil crescent”, a 250-mile coastal strip that includes Libya’s four major export terminals. Two-thirds of Libya’s crude oil flows through these ports. Under international pressure, Haftar handed operational control back to the National Oil Corporation (NOC) in Tripoli, the only exporter the world recognises. But he kept military control of the territory, giving him extraordinary leverage.

That's was a wiki definition. We also have the Vatican charities that were used as immigration warfare agents, and the Epstein faction that was part of a private elite banking intelligence network.

"Q". Those claims have been relayed and developed by online communities and influencers. Their core belief is that a cabal of Satanic,[3][4][5] cannibalistic child molesters in league with the deep state is operating a global child sex trafficking ring and that Donald Trump is secretly leading the fight against them.

Stopping Liberation Theology, the new version of communism in the western hemisphere, is the top priority of the MAGA movement.

And no one has mentioned that the UK elite, has there hands in the jar of offshore banking.

Redcoats invented this genre. Some say its at the very backbone of their financial network.

It will be done in less than a week along with wholesale import bans, from certain countries.

Another potential tool the Trump administration could utilize is Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The statute allows for the imposition of tariffs of up to 50% via presidential proclamation in response to discrimination by another country against U.S. commerce. The president also has the power to revoke and amend any tariffs implemented.

However, this provision has not been used since the 1940s and could face pushback from the World Trade Organization, according to Schaefer. However, due to the current lack of a WTO appellate body, the U.S. could appeal any panel review decision “into oblivion,” he added.

Trump will use section 338 in a heartbeat, buy the dip if this round goes against Trump.

Section 301 was designed to eliminate unfair foreign trade practices that adversely affect U.S. trade and investment in both goods and services. Under Section 301, the President must determine whether the alleged practices are unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce. If the President determines that action is necessary, the law directs that all appropriate and feasible action within the President's power should be taken to secure the elimination of the practice.

Congress has already given the president the authority. Others can be invoked as well.

Similar to Section 232, tariffs enacted through Section 301 investigations have previously received judicial backing. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in September upheld Trump’s use of Section 301 to impose tariffs during his first term.

Given such precedent for Section 232 and Section 301, there is reason to believe the Trump administration will be even more aggressive in pursuing such avenues for new tariffs.

“I think initially I would expect to see more heavy reliance on Section 232 and 301,” said Kelsey Christensen, an international trade attorney at Clark Hill.
