“Prophets” aren’t the solution to the problem - they <b>caused</b> the problem.

US and Israel régimes and western oligarchs look for trouble and they found one. The ball is in your court but outcome will not be decided by US and it proxies.

This interview perfectly exposes the logical loop of current U.S. foreign policy.<br>Barrack is completely trapped by his own logic in this interview.<br><br>Contradiction 1: Barrack delivers a brilliant critique of the 23 failed U.S. regime changes in the Middle East. But by the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ_pNPBjMhU&t=320">5:20</a> mark, he’s forced to pivot and protect Trump, claiming the administration wants a "better solution." How can you advocate for a regional solution while simultaneously hitting Iran "economically and militarily" on a war path?<br><br>Contradiction 2: At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ_pNPBjMhU&t=920">15:20</a>, he pitches a "modified agreement." But we all remember the failed June MoU that the U.S. rushed into, which gave away too much leverage and led to JD Vance taking the political blame. The U.S. tried to rewrite that MoU, and now Barrack admits right before <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ_pNPBjMhU&t=920">15:20</a> that there is absolutely zero trust left on either side.<br><br>You cannot negotiate a "modified framework" when you've already destroyed your own diplomatic credibility and have zero foundational trust. Incredible mental gymnastics here.

No cred Tom. You assassinated Iran's leader and killed a bunch of schoolgirls. Don't talk of peace now that it now has had unintended consequences.

So typical to see a slippery approach to " we must get rid Iran's nuclear weapon". He is articulate but says little of the US's responsibility for attacking Iran, rather he praises Trump.

International Tax Evasion Investigation (2017)<br><br>In 2017, Italian prosecutors targeted Barrack and several Colony Capital executives in an investigation regarding an alleged €170 million tax evasion scheme. The investigation centered on a complex criminal conspiracy involving a Luxembourg-based unit and the sale of luxury property bonds in Sardinia, which allegedly defrauded the Italian treasury.<br><br>6. Subprime Rental Property Controversies<br><br>Following the 2008 financial crisis, Barrack built a massive single-family rental empire under Colony Starwood Homes. The business model relied on buying cheap, foreclosed properties at rock-bottom prices. The subsidiary faced systemic public backlash and civil lawsuits from tenant advocacy groups accusing the firm of leaving properties in hazardous, neglected, and uninhabitable conditions while aggressively raising rents

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Colony Capital Investment Advisors for breaching fiduciary duties between 2017 and 2021. The SEC found that the firm failed to properly disclose affiliate-provided services and expense allocations to its limited partners across eight private real estate funds. Colony settled the matter by paying a $350,000 civil penalty.<br><br>4. Activist Investor Revolts & Rick Gates Payroll<br><br>In 2019, activist firm Blackwells Capital launched a campaign to oust Barrack as CEO. Blackwells criticized Barrack for utilizing "friendship and politics" to manage shareholder capital. A primary point of contention was that Colony had put Rick Gates—a top Trump campaign aide who was indicted in the Robert Mueller probe—on a $20,000-per-month payroll for vague services that Blackwells alleged brought no legitimate value to the firm's investors
