Is World War 3 Already Here? Unpacking the Blueprint of Global Conflict

Many of us feel it: the world is on edge. Wars erupt, propaganda floods our screens, and the truth seems harder to find than ever. But what if these conflicts aren’t random accidents? What if they’re part of a larger, planned strategy? This is the unsettling idea explored by historian and author Diedert de Wagt.

Key Takeaways

• Many modern wars are not accidental but deliberately planned geopolitical moves.
• The "blueprint" for these conflicts, often involving media manipulation and manufactured pretexts, has been used repeatedly.
• Understanding this pattern is key to seeing through current global events and potential future conflicts.

The Illusion of Accidental Wars

De Wagt argues that many wars of this century, and even the last, were based on lies. We were told we were fighting dangerous individuals or defending democracy, but behind the scenes, a different agenda was at play. He points to a "seven-country memo" from the past, outlining plans to dismantle nations like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. The fact that wars followed in these exact locations suggests these weren’t coincidences but part of a broader geopolitical strategy, potentially leading to a third world war.

He believes we are already living in the era of World War 3, though it’s being fought through proxies and on multiple fronts, not necessarily a single, all-out nuclear confrontation. The mainstream media, by and large, presents the narrative dictated by politicians and intelligence agencies, making it difficult for the public to see the bigger picture. What appears as a conflict between two nations is often a proxy war for global power struggles.

Deconstructing the "Blueprint"

De Wagt’s research, drawing from thousands of sources, reveals a recurring pattern in how these conflicts are initiated. He highlights several historical examples:

• The Iraq War: The justification of weapons of mass destruction was later proven false, leading to immense loss of life and instability.
• The War in Afghanistan: The initial goal of capturing Osama bin Laden was based on shaky evidence, and his actual whereabouts were known, yet the war proceeded.
• The War in Libya: The narrative of Gaddafi being a dangerous dictator was used, but declassified documents suggest secret service involvement in orchestrating internal dissent.
• The conflict in Syria and Ukraine: De Wagt points to US-backed coups and orchestrated protests as key instigators.

He explains that after World War II, America became the dominant global power, using the CIA to protect its interests, particularly those of corporations. This "blueprint" involves creating a narrative of threat, justifying intervention, and often leading to prolonged conflict and destabilization. The compartmentalized nature of intelligence agencies like the CIA allows for plausible deniability, making it hard to trace accountability.

The Role of Finance and Lobbying

Beyond intelligence operations, de Wagt emphasizes the significant influence of financial interests and lobbying. He discusses how powerful families and corporations, like the Rockefellers, have historically influenced US foreign policy to protect their economic interests. The concept of the "Petrodollar" – the agreement that oil would be traded in US dollars – has been crucial for maintaining the dollar’s global dominance and allowing the US to print money with less consequence. When leaders like Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi threatened this system by proposing trade in other currencies (like the Euro or a "gold dinar"), they were often targeted.

He also touches upon the problems with the fiat money system itself, where debt and interest create a perpetual cycle of scarcity. The rise of central banks, often privately controlled, and the ability to create money out of thin air, further complicate the global financial landscape. Lobbyists and think tanks play a significant role in shaping policy, often pushing for agendas that benefit specific industries, including the military-industrial complex.

The Current Geopolitical Landscape

De Wagt applies this historical analysis to current events, particularly the conflict in Ukraine. He argues that the narrative of Russia being the sole aggressor is an oversimplification. Instead, he suggests it’s a proxy war driven by US interests to maintain global hegemony and prevent a powerful alliance between Russia and Europe. The expansion of NATO eastward, despite alleged promises to Russia, is seen as a major provocation.

He also discusses the complex relationship between the US, China, and Iran, highlighting how geopolitical strategies involve creating dependencies and leveraging economic power. The US aims to counter the growing influence of China and Russia, using various tactics, including trade wars and political maneuvering.

The Path Forward

De Wagt stresses the importance of critical thinking and seeking out verifiable sources. He believes that understanding the historical patterns of manipulation and the underlying economic and political interests is crucial for navigating the current information landscape. While acknowledging the complexity and the potential for despair, he encourages people to engage in dialogue and seek peaceful solutions, rather than blindly accepting the narratives presented by mainstream media and political leaders.

His book, "A Lack of Better," aims to provide a more nuanced and evidence-based perspective on global conflicts, encouraging readers to question the official stories and to look for the deeper, often hidden, motivations behind international events. The ultimate goal, he suggests, is to foster a more informed and peace-oriented global society.
