The Geometry of Influence: A PAiNT Network Perspective on Shifting Global Alignments

 

The Radius of Power. The Geometry of Politics. The Gaza Equation.

PAiNT Network Editorial 
Steven Smith — Founder, Inspirational Technologies, PAiNT Network (2014)

The Middle East has always been a canvas of competing geometries — circles of influence, triangles of alliances, and the jagged, unfinished lines of conflict. Gaza is the point where every global compass needle twitches. And Saudi Arabia, long the quiet architect of regional stability, has stepped forward with a position that is both familiar and newly sharpened.

Saudi Arabia’s stance on Gaza is not a mystery; it is a reassertion of the Arab center of gravity. Riyadh calls for a permanent ceasefire, a two‑state solution, and an end to the political vandalism of settlement expansion. Asharq Al‑Awsat reports that Saudi officials reaffirm the “centrality of the Palestinian cause” and reject “forced displacement, land confiscation, and violations of international law.” Arab News echoes the same geometry: humanitarian access must be “immediate, sustained, and unhindered,” and any attempt to alter Jerusalem’s legal status is a red line.

This is not just diplomacy. It is strategic math.

Saudi Arabia is balancing three vectors at once:

  1. Arab legitimacy — defending Palestinian rights without ceding the mantle to Iran.

  2. Regional stability — preventing Gaza from becoming a permanent ignition point.

  3. Global leverage — maintaining a calibrated partnership with Washington while refusing to rubber‑stamp Israeli policy.

And then there’s the United States — the perennial conductor of Middle Eastern negotiations, now chairing the “Board of Peace,” a reconstruction body that promises billions in investment and a new governance architecture for Gaza. The U.S. claims this will deliver stability, economic opportunity, and a pathway out of perpetual conflict. Reuters notes that Washington sees the board as a “long-term mechanism for Gaza’s reconstruction and governance.”

But the geometry is more complicated.

What does the U.S. get?

  • Geopolitical leverage: A central seat in Gaza’s future gives Washington influence over Israel, the PA, and the Gulf simultaneously.

  • Energy stability: A calmer region means fewer oil shocks — a direct benefit to American consumers.

  • Economic opportunity: U.S. contractors, tech firms, and infrastructure giants see Gaza’s reconstruction as a multi‑billion‑dollar frontier.

  • Diplomatic capital: If the U.S. brokers a lasting ceasefire, it regains soft power lost over decades of inconsistent Middle East policy.

What do “the people” get?

That depends on which people you mean.

Palestinians may get a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and reconstruction — but critics warn the Board of Peace could limit Palestinian autonomy and embed Israeli security control.

Americans may see lower energy volatility, reduced military entanglement, and new economic channels.

Saudis gain regional stability and leverage without formal normalization.

Israelis get international funding for reconstruction without bearing the full cost.

In other words: everyone gets something, but no one gets everything.

This is the geometry of politics — overlapping shapes, competing radii, and the constant struggle to redraw the map without tearing the paper.

The PAiNT Network has always argued that politics is not a straight line. It is a palette — colors mixed, blurred, sharpened, and reapplied. Gaza is being repainted once again, but the question remains: Who holds the brush?

Saudi Arabia wants a steadier hand. The United States wants a larger canvas. Israel wants tighter borders. Palestinians want a home that isn’t rebuilt every decade.

The radius of power is shifting. The geometry is being rewritten. And the world is watching to see whether this new picture becomes a masterpiece — or another unfinished sketch.

Saudi Arabia’s Political Position on Gaza

Authoritative sources: Asharq Al‑Awsat and Arab News reporting from June 2026.

  • Saudi Arabia states that the Palestinian cause remains central to Middle East stability.

  • It reaffirms the two‑state solution:

    • Independent Palestinian state

    • June 4, 1967 borders

    • East Jerusalem as capital

  • It rejects:

    • Israeli settlement expansion

    • Land confiscation

    • Forced displacement

    • Attacks on civilians

    • Any attempt to impose Israeli sovereignty over occupied territories or alter Jerusalem’s legal/historical status

  • It supports:

    • A permanent ceasefire

    • Immediate, sustained, unhindered humanitarian aid

    • International legal obligations (UNSC Resolution 2334)

  • It welcomes U.S.-led ceasefire efforts, but insists aid cannot be used as collective punishment or political leverage.

Strategic Saudi concerns:

  • Riyadh wants greater Palestinian representation in the U.S.-led “Board of Peace.”

  • It is pressuring Israel to release $5 billion in frozen PA tax revenues, rather than covering the gap itself.

  • Saudi funding for the Board of Peace (a pledged $1 billion) has not fully materialized, partly due to concerns about governance and representation.

  • Saudi Arabia and US reach consensus on ending the war in Gaza

What Monetary & Strategic Benefits Might the U.S. See?

These are not guaranteed outcomes—they are claimed or implied benefits in U.S. policy circles and reporting.

1. Geopolitical Leverage & Regional Stability

  • A functioning Gaza governance structure could reduce regional volatility, which benefits U.S. strategic posture.

  • U.S. leadership of the Board of Peace (Trump chairs it indefinitely unless he resigns) gives Washington long-term influence over Gaza’s reconstruction architecture.

2. Economic & Energy Stability

  • Reduced conflict lowers risk of oil price spikes, which directly benefits U.S. consumers.

  • Saudi cooperation—if sustained—helps stabilize global energy markets.

3. U.S. Tech & Infrastructure Opportunities

The U.S. advisors have drafted plans to turn Gaza into:

  • An AI tech hub

  • A megacity with large-scale construction These plans (controversial and criticized as unrealistic or politically coercive) could create:

  • U.S. contractor opportunities

  • Tech-sector expansion

  • Infrastructure investment channels

4. Diplomatic Capital

If the U.S. is seen as brokering a ceasefire and reconstruction, it gains:

  • Soft-power credibility

  • Leverage with Gulf states

  • A stronger hand in regional negotiations (including Iran, Yemen, and Red Sea security)

 

👥 What Benefits Might “the People” See?

This depends on which “people” you mean—Americans, Palestinians, Israelis, or Saudis. Here’s the breakdown:

For Palestinians

  • Potential for:

    • Ceasefire

    • Humanitarian access

    • Reconstruction funding

    • Greater international oversight But critics warn the Board of Peace may limit Palestinian autonomy and embed Israeli security control.

For Americans

  • Lower oil prices if conflict stabilizes

  • Reduced risk of U.S. military escalation

  • Possible economic opportunities via U.S.-led reconstruction projects

  • Diplomatic “win” for the administration

For Saudis

  • Regional stability

  • Leverage over Israel regarding PA tax revenues

  • Ability to shape Gaza’s future without direct military involvement

  • Improved relations with the U.S. without formal normalization

For Israelis

  • A U.S.-chaired board that includes Israeli-approved Palestinian technocrats

  • International funding for reconstruction without Israel paying the bulk

  • Potential buffer structures (“yellow line”) that maintain Israeli security control in parts of Gaza

 

⚠️ Non‑obvious insight

Saudi Arabia’s stance is not simply humanitarian—it is also a strategic counterweight to Iran. By supporting Palestinian rights and pushing for a ceasefire, Riyadh:

  • Maintains Arab leadership

  • Avoids ceding the “defender of Palestine” mantle to Tehran

  • Keeps diplomatic channels open with Washington This triangulation is central to Saudi regional strategy

  • .Short takeaway: Saudi Arabia’s position on Gaza is pro‑ceasefire, pro‑two‑state solution, anti‑settlement expansion, and strongly focused on protecting Palestinian rights and humanitarian access. The U.S. “benefits” depend on how the Gaza reconstruction architecture (including the “Board of Peace”) evolves: geopolitical stability, oil‑market predictability, and potential economic/tech projects—but these benefits are contested, uneven, and politically sensitive.

                                              Thank You for your continued support of Inspirationaltech.org 

 

 

A forbidden fiber in the U.S. since 1970, hemp has taken the heat for almost five decades. Until the Farm Bill passed in December of 2018, hemp was federally illegal to grow for commercial purposes, making it risky for businesses to invest in a new crop that was incorrectly classified as a drug.   Imagine a sweater softer than any fabric you’ve ever felt before, and more durable than cotton. Imagine a car built with something lighter than steel that could stand 10 times the impact without denting. 

  Imagine if you could save four acres of trees by making paper with 1 acre of hemp. Imagine biodegradable Legos.

Now imagine all this possibility actually exists but you can’t enjoy any of it because people in power once decided the plant from which it’s all derived has a scorned cousin named “marijuana.”
If you can wrap your mind around this dereliction of logic, only then can you begin to understand the painfully silly policies America’s had in place that have kept hemp from coating our farmland with hues of pale yellow and light green. That longstanding logic has been costly for our country. United States’ hemp prohibition has suppressed potential jobs for farmers, products for consumers, and medicine for patients.

Cousin or not, the reality is, hemp can’t get you high just as near beer can’t get you drunk. Despite all that–and while near beer takes up three spots in every Walmart in America– hemp has been largely banned in the United States, until now.
To understand the differences between hemp and marijuana it’s critical to know what each distinctly different plant is capable of doing. The Ministry of Hemp offers the most comprehensive and easily digestible explanation of hemp versus marijuana. The 2018 Farm Bill: How we got here. Here’s what happened. Way back when, an angry and lobby-influenced Congress passed the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, which effectively outlawed the possession of cannabis—including hemp—after hundreds of years of growth and use from the time of British colonization onward. While that law was repealed in the late 1960s, cannabis was quickly included as a Schedule 1 drug (the most “dangerous” class of drugs including heroin) in the Controlled Substances Act, a designation which continues to this day.

After 81 years, the 2018 Farm Bill represents the largest step towards undoing the racist and scientifically baseless legacy of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.  

The 2018 Farm Bill officially reclassifies hemp for commercial uses after decades of statutes and legal enforcement conflating hemp and marijuana, the Farm Bill distinguishes between the two by removing hemp from the Controlled Substances Act. (While the two are closely related, hemp lacks the high concentration of THC that is responsible for the high from smoking marijuana.) This would effectively move regulation and enforcement of the crop from the purview of the Drug Enforcement Agency to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The 2018 Farm Bill expands upon provisions in the 2014 version of the annual bill, which created Hemp Pilot Programs. These Hemp Pilot Programs “created a framework for the legal cultivation by states of ‘industrial hemp’ without a permit from the Drug Enforcement Administration.” The 2014 Hemp Pilot Programs were a success for farmers and consumers across the U.S., from Colorado to North Carolina.
    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continues to be ardently anti-marijuana, despite the success of these programs and the fact that 62% of Americans say recreational marijuana should be legal. Nevertheless, McConnell and Senate Republicans read the political tea leaves and will now recognize the important differences between marijuana and hemp. In doing so, they’re creating an exciting time for entrepreneurs, CBD advocates, and farmers across the country. US previous administration trade wars were hurting farmers to the tune of billions of dollars. Wheat, soybean, and corn farmers have been targeted by China as the potent measure in its escalating tariff battle with the U.S. In 2017, China imported more than $24 billion in agriculture products from the U.S. The world’s top wheat consumer, China and purchased 1.6 million tons of U.S. wheat worth $391 million. At the same time, China bought $14 billion in soybeans for personal and animal consumption from the U.S. last year–more than any other agricultural commodity, and the country’s corn imports from the U.S. were worth $160 million.

All that’s changed with the high trade tariffs Trump’s levied on countries who import our products. Analysts and existing evidence suggest the soybean trade conflicts will be in favor of fellow exporters, Brazil and Argentina, rather than the U.S. The tariff could drop China’s imports of soybeans by 69% on average. The estimated effect of China’s 25% tariff on U.S. soybean imports would cut income for a midsize Illinois grain farm by an average of 87% over four years, prompting a loss of more than $500,000 in the farm’s net worth by 2021. It’s a messy situation. Trump needed a win, and farmers did too. Distinguishing between commercial hemp and marijuana, legalizing the former, is that much-needed reprieve. “We’re so pleased farmers across America now have the freedom to consider integrating this important crop into their production, particularly with the trade concerns around other crops such as soybeans, corn, and wheat,” said Elizabeth Hogan, VP of Brands at GCH Inc., the company behind Willie Nelson’s cannabis brands. Hemp legalization will transform it from niche interest and return it to cash crop status.

Using Hemp as Rotational Crop

Hemp is a farmer’s friend because compared with cotton, corn, and soybeans, it requires little water, isn’t picky when it comes to poor soil. It grows tightly spaced, thus crowding out weeds, and boasts a deep, soil-aerating root system. Despite all its advantages, and because growing it is illegal with the exception of limited licenses, the U.S. imports approximately $60 million worth of hemp from overseas countries like China. Political leverage This Farm Bill gave Trump Administration a powerful tool in their bargaining with China. As I wrote earlier this year in Forbes, China produces 50% of the world’s cannabis supply, with a large majority of that supply being the THC-lacking hemp variety; this gives China “massive economic potential” which “poses a threat to cannabis interests around the world and particularly in the U.S. market.”

Studies at Bejing’s Hemp Research Center revealed the variety of plant uses, prompting China to expand its hemp production which is a mere fraction of its world-leading cotton production. China not only has the product, but they have the cultivation techniques and commercial technologies to capitalize on that supply. And they are ramping up to leverage their competitive hemp advantage, expecting an eager demand from U.S. manufacturers given hemp’s rise in popular applications. By contrast, U.S. farmers grew merely 25,000 acres of hemp in the entire country in 2017. To give that context, that’s the same amount of land Bill Gates bought in Arizona to create a small, futuristic city.

That’s cool for a retirement project if you’re a billionaire, but hardly enough land to launch any sort of industry. And of that, about 70% of which was used to make CBD oil. Only recently have we seen an increase in manufacturers using hemp fibers to make fabrics, construction materials, health products, and other consumer goods.

With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, America will have a chance to counter China’s massive influence in the cannabis hemp industry. But it will mean playing catch-up for the foreseeable future. Currently, hemp cultivation techniques in America lag far behind other crops—it still has to be harvested by hand even. Even though marijuana is legal in China, the country has funded research into the plant and its cultivation, placing it miles ahead of other countries. The Farm Bill will help hemp farmers and entrepreneurs. 

The 2018 Farm Bill will radically overhaul America’s relation to hemp and could unleash a hemp renaissance in the coming years that will close the gap between the U.S. and China. As a Schedule 1 substance alongside marijuana, hemp farmers and entrepreneurs in the U.S. have faced many barriers to doing business. Interstate commerce for hemp products was almost non-existent and financing was difficult to come by. But all that is set to change.

According to the American Agriculturist, the 2018 Farm Bill will allow hemp to be regulated by the USDA, including the labeling of American-grown hemp as certified organic; interstate hemp commerce will be legalized; financing and research opportunities will open up; hemp farmers will be guaranteed water rights; the definition of hemp will be altered to make it a non-drug commodity.

Hemp has hundreds of uses, many of which are yet to be discovered or fully realized thanks to the lack of available research funds. From textiles and plastics to livestock feed and home cooking, hemp has many applications that can reduce our dependence both on other countries and fossil fuels. Driven by explosive growth in hemp-based consumer products, the global hemp market is expected to jump to $10.6 billion by 2025. 

Everything from our vodka to our cars is waiting to be reimagined in the future with legal hemp. Many people won’t even realize how much their lives are affected by cannabis-based products. One of the most exciting applications of hemp lies in the extracted cannabinoids or CBD oil. According to the Washington Post, “dozens of studies have found evidence that the compound can treat epilepsy as well as a range of other illnesses, including anxiety, schizophrenia, heart disease, and cancer.” With the legalization of hemp, CBD can be regulated and researched much more than before to truly understand the medical efficacy for a wide range of diseases.

“We continue to see great progress towards a new perspective on cannabis within the US. Within healthcare, several conditions and certain patient profiles rely heavily on CBD-only products of which the proposed Farm Bill will work to dramatically improve access to patients – not only in the US but globally,” said Prad Sekar, CEO of CB2 Insights in a written interview. All of those uses make hemp a profitable cash crop for suffering farmers, with some early commercial growers reporting $100 per-acre more profit on hemp than canola. Hemp grown for CBD oil, on the other hand, can take in $8,000 per acre versus $600 per acre for corn. In particular, hemp can be a boon for arid western states. According to Pacific Standard,

Hemp is thus profitable and sustainable, two words which have eluded many U.S. farmers as of late. Hemp cultivation could provide much-needed relief as farmers struggle to find markets for millions of bushels of crops during the trade wars. Now, instead of importing an estimated $100 million of hemp products every year, that money will go to American farmers and entrepreneurs.

Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc, believes hemp legalization will drive disenfranchised farmers “back-to-the-land” now that they’ll have a solid economic basis in industrial hemp to rely on. “Our strategy has been to partner with farmers across the country in states where hemp cultivation and manufacturing is legal to provide them with the infrastructure needed to make a profit off this incredible crop, and this bill will be an incredible boon for the American small family farm,” Perlowin continued “The health and wellness industries are in for a major overhaul with the massive research and development and exploration into CBD‘s, CBGs, CBN’s and 113 other cannabinoids as well as some 300 terpenes found in the industrial hemp plant.”

What developments have occurred since the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill,

especially regarding how individual states are addressing issues related to CBD and Kratom? 

 

Since the 2018 Farm Bill, states have rapidly evolved their regulations on CBD—especially hemp-derived intoxicants—

and are beginning to address Kratom with increasing scrutiny and legislative action.

🧪 CBD: From Wellness to Regulatory Whiplash
Federal Shift (2018–2025):
• The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp (≤0.3% delta-9 THC), opening the door for CBD products nationwide.
• However, it inadvertently created a loophole for intoxicating hemp derivatives like delta-8 THC, delta-10, and THCa, which are chemically altered but still derived from legal hemp.
• The FDA has not approved CBD as a dietary supplement or food additive, leaving states to fill the regulatory vacuum.
State-Level Responses:
• Early years (2018–2022): Most states treated hemp-CBD as a wellness product, with minimal oversight.
• By 2023: Only 8 states had rules addressing intoxicating hemp derivatives.
• By mid-2025: Over 40 states now regulate or ban hemp-derived intoxicants. These laws include:
• Potency limits and age restrictions
• Licensing and testing requirements
• Labeling rules (QR codes, batch IDs, warnings)
• Bans on chemical conversion processes used to create synthetic cannabinoids
Examples:
• California allows CBD in foods/beverages but restricts intoxicating hemp.
• New York enforces age limits, serving caps, and QR-linked COAs.
• Texas permits food/supplement formats with strict labeling; smokable hemp is restricted.
• Indiana pioneered QR-code traceability and batch testing.


🌿 Kratom: A Rising Focus
While Kratom wasn’t addressed in the 2018 Farm Bill, its growing popularity has prompted state-level action:
• Some states (e.g., Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana) have banned Kratom outright due to concerns over addiction and safety.
• Others (e.g., Florida, Georgia, Utah) have passed Kratom Consumer Protection Acts, which regulate:
• Minimum age for purchase
• Labeling and purity standards
• Prohibitions on adulterated or synthetic Kratom
This patchwork reflects rising public health concerns and a push for consumer safety without federal oversight.

🌱 More than a Decade of Innovation: Inspirational Technologies (2013–2025)

Founded in 2013 by visionary entrepreneur Steven Smith, Inspirational Technologies emerged with a bold mission: to explore the intersection of natural wellness and cutting-edge science. From its humble beginnings to its current position as a thought leader in hemp-based innovation, the company’s journey has been marked by resilience, discovery, and a relentless pursuit of purpose.

🚀 2013–2015: Laying the Groundwork

Inspirational Technologies began as a small research-focused startup headquartered in Florida. Steven Smith, with a background in plant sciences and a passion for holistic health, envisioned a company that could bridge traditional botanical remedies with modern technology.

  • Initial Focus: The early years were dedicated to foundational research in plant-based compounds, particularly those found in hemp and other medicinal herbs.
  • Challenges: Regulatory uncertainty around cannabis-related research posed significant hurdles. Funding was limited, and public perception of hemp was still clouded by its association with marijuana.
  • Successes: Despite these obstacles, the company secured its first private investment in 2014 and launched its website, , as a hub for educational content and research updates.

🌿 2016–2018: Expanding into Hemp and Cannabinoids

As public interest in cannabidiol (CBD) began to surge, Inspirational Technologies pivoted toward deeper exploration of hemp-derived cannabinoids.

  • Research Milestones: The company initiated studies on CBD’s potential for anxiety, inflammation, and neuroprotection. Collaborations with academic institutions helped validate early findings.
  • Product Development: By 2017, Inspirational Technologies had developed prototypes for CBD-infused wellness products, including topical creams and tinctures.
  • Obstacles: The lack of federal clarity on hemp legality made distribution and marketing difficult. Several promising partnerships fell through due to legal concerns.
  • Breakthroughs: In 2018, as a subsidiary of a company that successfully patented a proprietary extraction method that preserved the full spectrum of cannabinoids while eliminating THC—a major step toward compliance and consumer safety was evolving.

🌾 2019: The Farm Bill Revolution

The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which went into effect in early 2019, was a watershed moment for Inspirational Technologies and the hemp industry at large.

  • Legal Clarity: The bill federally legalized hemp (defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC), opening the floodgates for research, cultivation, and commerce.
  • Strategic Expansion: Inspirational Technologies quickly scaled operations, partnering with licensed hemp farms across the southeastern U.S. to ensure a steady supply of high-quality raw material.
  • New Ventures: The company launched its flagship product line—“Inspire Naturals”—featuring CBD oils, capsules, and skincare products. These were met with enthusiastic reception in wellness communities.
  • Educational Outreach: Steven Smith spearheaded a national campaign to educate consumers and healthcare providers about the differences between hemp-derived CBD and marijuana, emphasizing safety, efficacy, and legality.

🧪 2020–2021: Deepening Scientific Inquiry

With hemp now mainstream, Inspirational Technologies doubled down on research and development.

  • Cannabinoid Research: The company expanded its focus beyond CBD to lesser-known cannabinoids like CBG (cannabigerol), CBC (cannabichromene), and CBN (cannabinol), investigating their unique therapeutic properties.
  • Clinical Trials: In 2020, the company launched its first human trial studying the effects of a CBD-CBG blend on chronic pain and sleep disorders. Preliminary results showed promising improvements in sleep quality and reduced reliance on opioids.
  • COVID-19 Impact: The pandemic disrupted supply chains and delayed several research initiatives. However, it also heightened interest in immune-supportive and stress-reducing supplements, boosting sales of CBD products.
  • Digital Transformation: was revamped to include interactive tools, webinars, and a cannabinoid knowledge base, making it a go-to resource for consumers and researchers alik
