Major Discussion Segments & Insights

1. Is War with Iran Imminent?

Timestamps: 04:49–23:29

Key Points:

• Alleged False Flag Operations:
  • Clayton claims “key US and Israeli military hardware is almost in place for this new attack” on Iran, suggesting a deliberate provocation (“false flag” scenario) to justify war.
    • “We are gearing up for another false flag attack designed to provoke Iran into a full blown war.” – Clayton (04:49)
• Intelligence and Media Narratives:
  • Intelligence (sourced through Mossad and the CIA, via the New York Times) alleges Iran is “at its weakest point since 1979.” Davis expresses skepticism, labeling it part of a manufactured pretext for regime change.
    • “I have certainly been following most of my adult career. And I don't see any evidence that it's weakening.” – Col. Davis (06:31)
• False Uprising Narrative:
  • Davis dissects the narrative that Iranian civil unrest justifies outside intervention, highlighting the contradiction of US-sanctioned suffering and subsequent claims for a humanitarian mission.
    • “It sounds like you’re trying to dupe the American people into believing we have to do something to help those poor people, that we are the ones that put in that position.” – Col. Davis (07:13)
• Deal Posturing vs. Reality:
  • Trump’s rhetoric of “making a deal” with Iran is dismissed as fantasy; the stated American demands are all Iranian red lines, rendering negotiation impossible.
    • “So if you’re saying that we’ll have a negotiated settlement as long as they agree to these terms that they won’t agree to, then you’re guaranteeing that there’s going to be a military strike here.” – Col. Davis (09:34)
• Military Escalation Concerns:
  • Both sides are prepared: US strike groups ready; Russia and China purportedly sending support to Iran.
  • Davis warns against underestimating Iran’s military capabilities and the potential for mass US/Israeli casualties, calling any strike “potentially catastrophic.”
    • “There is zero potential upside for a strike on Iran. No gain whatsoever, but potentially catastrophic on the downside if things go sideways.” – Col. Davis (11:14)
• War Objectives & Realpolitik:
  • Claims of regime change are made explicit. Davis questions the absence of clear, achievable objectives.
    • “We’re not sending in all aircraft carrier, battle group... just in case something happened. We have an intentional reason.” – Col. Davis (14:24)
  • Warns the US military can inflict damage but not ensure regime change without massive ground invasion.
• Why Push Now?
  • Hosts and Davis argue Israel sees Trump as uniquely unrestrained and more willing to take action than Obama (“Trump has no rules…”).
    • “That’s not hyperbole. And so they see that and they wanted to take advantage of it because they know he'll do stuff that nobody else would.” – Col. Davis (16:46)

Notable Quotes:

• “If you attack this time, we are not going to hold our punches and we are going to kill Americans in the region and we're going to kill Israelis and we're going to hit targets they don't want us to hit, but they can't stop us from hitting.” – Col. Davis (12:18)
• “If I’m wrong, like you said, it’s all hell has broken loose on Earth.” – Col. Davis, discussing nuclear escalation scenario (21:58)

2. Weather Manipulation and “Geoengineering” Allegations

Timestamps: 25:24–43:52

Key Points:

• Claims of Engineered Weather:
  • Dane Wigington emphatically asserts the recent US winter storm is a result of deliberate geoengineering.
    • “Is this storm engineered? Yes, absolutely, 100%, top to bottom.” – Dane Wigington (26:50)
  • Links climate intervention against US adversaries (specifically Iran) as a longstanding “weather warfare” campaign.
    • “They have completely cut off the flow of precipitation to Iran, so much so that the capital... is now considering evacuating 10 million people to where because they literally have no water...” – Dane Wigington (27:30)
• Official Acknowledgement/Evidence:
  • Wigington references speeches by President Lyndon Johnson about weather control and claims of various patents and technologies (HAARP, ionosphere heaters).
    • “He who controls the weather can control the world.” – Lyndon Johnson (paraphrased by Dane, 28:11)
• Mechanics of Weather Manipulation:
  • Describes how pressure systems and particulate seeding can induce droughts, storms, or precipitation blockage.
    • “These facilities... superheats that part of the atmosphere, expanding it up and down. The downward push forms a high pressure dome. Nothing can enter that, no moisture can enter that.” – Dane Wigington (29:38)
• Evidence of Psychological and Propaganda Objectives:
  • Argues that media deliberately shows only selected examples of cold/snow (“psychological operation”), masking more widespread droughts.
  • Claims Raytheon and Lockheed Martin’s central role in weather data, with “illegal federal gag orders” on US weathermen.
    • “Raytheon and Lockheed Martin do all the weather modeling for the nation's weathermen. Why would we need private defense contractors to do the modeling for the nation's weathermen that… have illegal federal gag orders on them?” – Dane Wigington (38:24–38:44)

Notable Quotes:

• “Don’t eat the snow. I don't say that in jest.” – Dane Wigington (32:54)
• “Whatever we think of their culture or their government, they have not invaded another country for 250 years.” – Dane Wigington, about Iran (26:54)

3. The CIA and Venezuela: Deep State “Foothold”

Timestamps: 49:06–58:19

Key Points:

• History of US/CIA Involvement:
  • Hosts and ex-CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp explain how US intelligence services have been active in Venezuela for decades, specifically facilitating drug trade for strategic reasons.
    • “The CIA was behind the Secret Service and the general in creating the drug trade and… eventuall creation of the Cartel of the Sun.” – Kevin Shipp (49:56)
  • Discussion of John Kerry’s 1980s Contra/Cocaine investigations and the “Hitz Report,” exposing how the CIA knowingly protected cocaine traffickers for operational reasons.
    • “...the CIA as an institution did not officially participate in cocaine trafficking during the Contra war. It knowingly maintained relationships with and protected numerous Contra linked individuals and organizations involved in the drug trade… in order to keep the Contra war against Nicaragua alive…” – Host summarizing report (52:00)
• Mainstream Media “Catching Up”:
  • CNN’s reporting on the CIA’s “new” presence in Venezuela ridiculed for decades-late discovery.
• Geopolitical Motives:
  • Argues US interest is not narcotics or democracy, but blocking Russia and China from regional influence and enforcing petrodollar trading.
    • “...it’s not really about drugs. It’s not about democracy. It’s just about c-blocking Russia and China.” – Clayton (54:43)
    • “...Venezuela starts trading outside the petrodollar, we invade their country… They love the petrodollar. The Petrodollar is the answer to all their problems.” – Clayton (56:00)

4. Canada’s Nazi Legacy: Secrecy and Soft Power

Timestamps: 64:07–71:55

Key Points:

• Canadian Parliament Nazi Scandal:
  • Recap of 2023’s invitation and ovation for Yaroslav Hunka, a WWII Waffen-SS veteran, in Parliament, and the historical context of Canada hosting thousands of Nazi war criminals post-war.
    • “On September 22, 2023, Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian Canadian who fought in the SS Division… was invited to the House of Commons. He started crying because of the great display of affection…” – Clayton (64:07)
• Suppression of the Secret List:
  • Recent news reveals Canadian authorities are actively keeping a list of 700+ suspected Nazi war criminals secret, citing national security and “harm to relations with a foreign power” (implicitly, Ukraine).
    • “The Office of Information Commissioner… accepted LAC’s arguments that releasing the names could damage Canada’s relations with a foreign power.” – Globe and Mail, read by Clayton (64:25)
  • Hosts and panelists criticize this as an explicit admission that the truth undermines government propaganda (“We can’t let the truth out because then they can use the truth to justify what they said as the reason why they were invading in the first place.” – Phil (69:48))

Memorable Moments & Humorous Aside

• “BS” Call-Outs:
  • “We give that a big B.S. redacted B.S.” – Natali, on official rationale for Iran strike (22:46)
• Date-Based Humor:
  • “That doesn’t work for me, guys. I’m busy that day. I have to take a kid somewhere. So let’s don't do it, all right?” – Natali, on war’s potential launch date (23:14)
• Running Gags:
  • The hosts repeatedly lament that “who has the money to do it?” regarding independent lab analysis of weather samples (45:32).

Tone and Language Notes

• The tone is openly skeptical, sarcastic, and direct, often ridiculing mainstream narratives and official rationales.
• Hosts use humor and incredulity (“I’m pissed,” “Don’t do the war this weekend, I’m busy”) to underscore anger and disbelief at government actions.
• Guests and hosts alike share information-heavy analysis presented in an accessible, plainspoken style.

Summary Takeaway

This episode starkly critiques the accepted narratives around a looming Iran war, highlighting patterns of disinformation, covert operations, and the dangerous consequences of unchecked power. Interwoven is a deep skepticism of mainstream media, a call for independent investigation (especially around climate and geoengineering), and a demand for transparency regarding clandestine government actions past and present—be it in the Middle East, South America, or the snowfields of Canada.

Listeners are left with a sense of urgency: to question the surface story, to be alert to the mechanisms of propaganda, and to resist complicity in narratives that lead to war, suffering, or historical amnesia.
