Firas Modad is a political analyst and geopolitical strategist, specializing in the intersection of power, governance, and societal change. His work explores how oligarchs, elites, and state institutions shape policy, influence public perception, and manipulate global narratives.

In this interview, we explore the real power behind governments, the rise of populist uprisings, and why Western democracy may be failing. Modad explains how oligarchs exert control over elected officials, how free speech is being systematically dismantled, and why welfare policies can often corrupt rather than support society. We also dive into Trump’s political genius, Putin’s grip on Russia, and the collapse of Western values, offering a raw and unfiltered discussion on the forces reshaping the world today.
