Gideon Polya: Official Gaza Genocide Toll is Way Too Low
Today01:27:16Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkDr. Gideon Polya, the author of US-Imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide and other books, discusses Patrick O’Carroll’s “The Arab Holocaust” (posted below). The interview begins with, and focuses on, the Gaza genocide. Dr. Polya argues that the official Gaza death count of 73,381 murdered since October 2023, more than half of whom are women and children, is far too low, and that a more realistic figure is over 800,000. Gideon Polya: The key point is that the perpetrators, who are typically Westerners, ignore deaths from deprivation. When they actually bother to mention how many people have actually died in their endless colonial wars, they only talk of violent deaths. And, of course, in wars, people are not going to go around and pick up the pieces and actually determine how many people we killed. And so already the violent deaths are underestimated. But then they totally ignore the horrendous reality of deaths from imposed deprivation. And the ratio of deaths from deprivation to violent deaths ranges from about three in the Iraqi war and up to 16 in the Afghan war. And various epidemiologists published in the top medical journal, The Lancet, have what they call “conservatively” estimated the ratio should be about four. So I can strain your mental arithmetic with a very simple calculation. A team of epidemiologists published in The Lancet estimated that the violent deaths that are reported by the Palestinian Authority of Health in Gaza, at the moment they say it's 73,000 deaths. However, a team of statisticians and epidemiologists have estimated that it's more like 175,000 violent deaths. And they've then conservatively assumed that there were four times that number of nonviolent deaths. And that means 700,000. Four times 175,000 is 700,000 nonviolent deaths, for a total of 875,000 deaths from violence and deprivation. Yet the world overwhelmingly reports 73,000 deaths. It's absolutely extraordinary undercounting. And Ralph Nader, a very famous American analyst, has called out this horrendous undercounting of mortality in the Gaza genocide. But that's the world we live in.Dr. Gideon Polya, a Melbourne-based biochemist, writer, humanitarian activist, and artist, is a world leader in comparative holocaust and genocide research. He descends from a prominent Hungarian Jewish family that was decimated by murderous ethnic cleansing during World War II. Nonetheless he cannot travel to the state of Queensland to retrieve his birth certificate due to the possibility of arrest and prosecution for opposing the genocide of Palestine.——The Arab HolocastBy Patrick O’CarrollNote: The latter table is also available as a non-OCR image here: https://ibb.co/b5ckkrHr.The Arab Holocaust began in 1915, with the WW1 Blockade of the Levant, which was ordered by Churchill as first “lord” of the admiralty, and aided by France. Then, Zionist Ottoman Turkey, led by crypto-Jews styling themselves “Young Turks” or Kemalists, joined the blockade. The Synagogue of Satan (”Team Antichrist”) always intended the Antichrist State of Israel as the venue for the reign of the Antichrist, so the REAL goal of the WW1 Blockade of the Levant was to genocide the Mid-East Arabs, so as to make way for the Jewish “Super-Race”.#1 PALESTINIAN HOLOCAUST IN 1915-2022 (death-toll 2.214 million)Jewish-Australian author Dr Gideon Polya describes what he calls the Palestinian Holocaust. For 1915-2022 Polya’s analysis outlines Palestinian population-losses due to violent conflict and long-term deprivation (i.e. deaths caused by malnutrition, lack of healthcare, poverty, and deliberate supply-chain blockages):1915-18 (WW1): Polya estimates 0.1 million Palestinian deaths (14% of the total population) from deprivation by the forced Palestinian Famine, which was part of the Zionist WW1 Blockade of the Levant in 1915-18.1918-48 (British Mandate): Polya estimates 0.65 million avoidable Palestinian deaths, drawing a comparison to death-rates in British-ruled India during this thirty-year era.1948 (the “Nakba”, Arabic for disaster): The NAKBA featured minor extermination, but major expulsion, i.e. the forcible expulsion of 800,000 Palestinians (about 60% of the total indigenous population) by the destruction of 500 villages to enable the establishment of the Antichrist State of Israel. Mainstream historians estimate that about 14,000(13.000-15,000) Palestinians died violently in the 1948 NAKBA, which was a major step in creating the Antichrist State of Israel. The Zionists expelled Palestinians to the following “havens”: West Bank 280,000; Gaza Strip 190,000; Lebanon 100,000; Syria 75,000; Jordan 70,000; and elsewhere 85,000.1950-2005: A further estimated 1.35 million avoidable non-Israeli Palestinian deaths from deprivation.2005-22: A further estimated 0.1 million avoidable non-Israeli Palestinian deaths from deprivation, including both occupied and exiled Palestinians.#2 GAZA HOLOCAUST 1, FROM OCT 2023 UNTIL APR 2025 (death-toll 1.1 million)After the false-flag attacks of 7 Oct 2023 (planned near “Sukkot”, Feast of Tabernacles), and until 30 Apr 2025, the Zionists genocided a total of 1.1 million Arabs in the Gaza Holocaust. This death-toll is calculated as follows:[A] In mid-2025, Dr Gideon Polya and Professor Richard Hill calculated that the total death-toll for Gaza from 7 Oct 2023 until 30 Apr 2025 was at least 680,000. This is based on all the data collected by British medical journal LANCET, with infants under five years of age accounting for a massive 380,000 (56 percent) of this toll.

Trump Has Destroyed His Presidency
2d ago00:21:23Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkPress TV interview Monday, Aug. 3Excerpt:Kevin Barrett: The higher gas prices, and the economic slowdown, which everybody kind of vaguely senses, is going to get a lot worse, as I mentioned earlier, because of the effect gradually going through the pipeline. That's turned the political discussion now very strongly in an anti-Trump direction. Trump's polling now is worse than any other president in modern history since polling began. Bush Jr. had the world record for the worst polling, the most unfavorable rating of any U.S. president, after his failed policies in Afghanistan and Iraq. But now Trump has broken that record by a substantial margin. This war was the most unpopular war at its beginning ever fought in American history since polls have been taken, and it's gotten even less and less popular ever since. So Trump is facing a catastrophic situation right now as he goes into the November elections that could bring a Democratic majority into the American Congress on the back of this economic disruption. And that Democratic majority very likely will investigate some of the things that the other guest was very perceptively talking about. Trump's corruption is just off the charts. American presidents have been corrupt before, but Trump has taken it to a new level by orders of magnitude. As the guest said, Trump has issued blood-curdling threats that made it look like we're on the brink of World War III—and he always does that at the end of the trading week. And then on Monday, he says he's been talking to his imaginary Iranian friends. He calms the markets. The markets then become extremely unrealistically optimistic. And this up and down in the markets can be played, and huge amounts of money can be made with put options. Trump has various ways of gambling on what the markets are going to do, and Trump has the insider knowledge of what the markets are going to do because he knows which weekend he's going to issue his threats, and how hard he's going to walk it back on Monday. And then as we heard from the other guest, he's actually selling insider information on Truth Social! So when the Democrats take back the Congress, they're going to have an easy time putting Trump in prison. They had a harder time putting him in prison before, between his two terms. But this time it's going to be easy. So that's why he's caught between the rock and hard place, and he has no good options. If he goes ahead and gets out of the war, the only way to do that is to honor the MOU, basically surrender to Iran. That's not going to look too good politically. And the Zionists who dominate the American political system will throw money at his opponents and harm him. But if he doesn't, then things just keep getting worse the way they've been getting worse for him over the past several months. So he's destroyed his presidency with this evil and strategically monumentally stupid war on Iran.Full transcript available by clicking "transcript” at my Substack. This is a public episode.

Trump Runs Out of Standoff Munitions, Drops F-Bombs Instead
3d ago01:05:30Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute link False Flag Weekly News link Q: What do you do if you run out of standoff munitions, but can’t drop gravity bombs because it’s too dangerous? A: Drop F-bombs!That appears to be Trump’s Iran war strategy. Screaming front page headlines reported last week: Trump says US will ‘beat the f*cking sh*t’ out of Iran after attack on bases in Jordan.If multi-megaton foul language could win wars, Donald Trump would have reduced the IRGC to quivering jelly: “Please, oh please, Mr. Trump, we beg of you, do not drop any more of those nasty foul-mouthed F-bombs on our poor little virgin ears! We will do whatever you say! Just don’t use any more bad words!”Unfortunately for Trump, the Iranians remain uncowed by obscene, scatological tirades. Who could have predicted Iran could withstand the most vicious vulgarity, the most atrocious expletives, the profanest and most vulgar filth that America’s rude, crude, and lewd president could dump on them?It’s one thing for Iran to endure a vicious surprise attack, launched under cover a fake breakthrough in negotiations, that murdered much of their top leadership, including the revered Supreme Leader, along with 168 Minab schoolgirls…and then remain strong, and even vaunt escalation dominance, throughout almost six months of warfare against an enemy that outspends them militarily 100-to-1. It’s quite another that the Iranians can fail to surrender to Trump’s out-of-control obscenity.If you found the above passages even mildly amusing, you understand the obvious: When Trump loses his cool and unleashes foul and/or blood-curdling threats, fondly imagining that such behavior will intimidate his enemies into compliance, he is exhibiting hilariously narcissistic cluelessness. The Baboon-in-Chief apparently doesn’t realize that losing control and lashing out is the behavior of a loser, not a winner. Screaming vain expletives at the sky is an admission of defeat: “G**** bleepity bleeping bleeping bleep it! We LOST!”Trump’s expletives are reminiscent of pilots cursing as they crash. In 1977, seconds before another Boeing 747 slammed into his plane in a crash that killed 538 people, Pan Am captain Victor Grubbs yelled “Goddamn, that son of a b**ch is coming!" And in an even closer parallel to Trump’s F-bombs, an Air France 447 captain, seconds before his plane slammed belly-first into the Pacific Ocean, attempted to intimidate the ocean with “f***! We’re dead.” Needless to say, the ocean was no more intimidated by that outburst than Iran is cowed by Trump’s equally ineffectual F-bombs.Throwing a temper tantrum because you can’t get your way is the behavior of a two-year-old. And Trump is an overgrown baby, a case study in arrested development.After unloading on the Ayatollahs, Trump let up on Iran and started F-bombing his own national security team. According to NBC News, Don the Deranged “erupted” and “yelled expletives” at his aides because they “are unable to come to an agreement on the Iran war strategy.” Oh well. Maybe if he drops enough F-bombs on them they’ll think of something. At this point the best move for Trump would be to declare victory and hope the Iranians die laughing.And if those outbursts weren’t enough, on Wednesday Trump looked like he might get dragged out of a White House press conference by men in white coats, after rambling incoherently about grass and Star Wars.According to the Irish Star, “Donald Trump’s aides allegedly ‘rushed the press’ out of the Oval Office after one of his speeches raised concerns that ‘something was wrong.’” Trump “rambled about how his team were ‘changing all the grass in all the parks’ before bizarrely comparing grass to ‘human beings.” Before his aides leaped to shield Trump from view while others hustled the media out of the room, Trump had been serving up some very strange word salad:“Grass is like human beings. Grass is a life also. And we're changing. We're raking, cleaning and changing all of the parks. We don't have the tents anymore. We don’t have all the barbed wire up. We don’t have the wire up…“Within a few years, it will be rated the best airport in the country. So it’s going to be so efficient. Right now, it’s totally inefficient between the trams and the Star Wars thing that they go up. The Star Wars and elevated buses and nobody knows what’s going on. It’s a real mess.”Video link on XOh well, at least he didn’t F-bomb the grass and the Star Wars and the elevated buses.When we discussed Trump’s F-bombs on this week’s False Flag Weekly News, co-host E. Michael Jones had an interesting medical diagnosis:Kevin Barrett: Trump is in trouble. If he surrenders by actually implementing the terms of the MOU, that’s not going to look too good politically, and the Zionists will go crazy and kill him (politically). Maybe even literally. But if he doesn’t, if he keeps escalating like he’s threatening to do, then the world economy goes down the toilet and nobody’s going to vote for him, least of all the Catholics. And I don’t think Catholics like other things about him either, such as his potty mouth. He’s done this (waxed obscene) a number of times. The bleeping-bleephead-in-chief! But why? Well, because first, the U.S. and Iran have been trading strikes. The Iranians hit U.S. bases in Jordan. Trump was furious that the Iranians had the temerity to defend their country, so he resorted to foul language, screaming that he’s going to “beat the bleeping bleep out of Iran” after the attacks. Seems like this guy is a little bit out of control, doesn’t know what he’s doing, doesn’t have a lot of impulse control. E. Michael Jones: This is what I was talking about in terms of tertiary syphilis. I keep coming back to this. One of the symptoms, when it goes to the brain, is grandiosity. You have delusions of grandeur. And the other one is loss of control of speech. So which is it: narcissism or syphilis? That might make good topic for a debate between medical doctors and psychiatrists.But is Trump’s behavior spontaneous and authentic? Or are his foul-mouthed curses scripted, like the rants of professional wrestling heel threatening his opponent? My audience of conspiracy realists includes a few who think Trump’s apparent madness is all an act. According to one interpretation, the Deep State is using Trump’s crazy act as an extreme version of what Nixon and Kissinger called “the madman theory”: “If we can convince our enemies that we’re crazy enough to drop nuclear bombs on them, that will give us leverage!”If that’s the case, it won’t work on Iran any better than it worked on Vietnam. Trump comes across as desperate, not dangerous. And Iran is not afraid of being nuked. Its dominant ideology lionizes suffering for a good cause, even (especially) martyrdom. So even if Iranian leaders believed Trump was crazy enough to destroy much of West Asia’s energy and life-support infrastructure by inviting Iran to make the other side of the Gulf (and perhaps Occupied Palestine) uninhabitable, they would still resist Trump’s tyranny and die willingly as martyrs, taking the region and the world down with them. The cynical mercenary’s slogan “kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out” becomes, in the Iranian rendition, “if the tyrants kill us we will kill them too, and we’ll go to paradise while they go to hell.”And then there are the dwindling number of conspiracy types who still imagine Trump is some kind of genius playing multidimensional chess. Mike King, for example, still seems to think that Trump is basically giving the Zionists enough rope to hang themselves. And while it may very well work out that way—the Zionists are doing an excellent job of hanging themselves, thanks in part to Trump’s rope—I doubt very much that Trump is cackling to himself: “Bwa-ha-ha! If I let Bibi commit genocide, and attack Iran for him, and make him think I’m doing it because of those Epstein videos, we will lose the war, lose global public opinion, lose to Russia, lose to China, and the Zionist-run US empire with its crime base in Occupied Palestine will crumble, and Donald J. Trump will go down in history as the man who liberated planet Earth from the death grip of the demonic Epstein Class zionist oligarchs!”It’s an amusing idea. Mike King should make an AI movie featuring superhero Trump doing all those things.But please, Mike, leave out the foul language and make sure it’s rated G so future generations of ki...

Narcissism and Psychopathy on Display in the Oval Office
6d ago00:25:00Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkIn today’s news…the bad news is that Trump’s potty mouth overflowed as he threatened to “beat the f*cking sh*t’ out of Iran.” The good news is that Trump appears to have defecated in his pants at Lindsey Graham’s funeral…which might conceivably render him slightly less full of sh*t.Below is a transcript of last night’s Press TV interview. Listen to the whole thing in the audio podcast file at the top of my Substack post, or watch the two-minute highlight video above.Press TV: Well, it’s 6 p.m. here in Tehran and time for the news review. Welcome. Now, let me give you a recap of what’s been happening and what we’re going to talk about. We have been watching Iran, what another Iran is saying, as long asU.S. aggression against Iran’s civil infrastructures Iran will retaliate. And that’s what Iran has done. And the continuation of that, IRGC hit U.S. Air Base and headquarters in Jordan. And now Mr. Trump is going mad and saying that I’m going to hit Iran hard again. Of course, it’s not the first time this has been going on. Iran is also asserting its control over the Strait of Hormuz and IRGC Navy, the Iranian Army. They are both asserting their control there. And almost every day they are stopping a number of ships that have been trying to cross the Strait without Iran’s authorization. And of course the same talks are ongoing between Iran and the two coastal states to come up with a certain mechanism for arrangements of transit. So this is what we are going to talk about. Allow me to introduce my guests. In our studio in Tehran, we have Khomeira Ahad. And also we have Kevin Barrett joining us from Saidia in Morocco. Okay, let’s begin with Tehran, if you allow me, Kevin, so that Khomeira will just bring us some information and give us some more details regarding the goings on recently. Khomeira, do you think this is going to further escalate? Or is it going to come down? Because, if you remember the way Mr. Trump usually puts it whenever he says he’s going to do something big time and then the next day or five minutes later he changes his mind, he said let’s turn to the negotiating table.Khomeira Ahad: No, but I think that it is going to escalate. And the things which we have been seeing in the last few months point to that, that there will be escalation again . We know that in the last 24 hours, the IRGC has pounded American bases in Jordan, and ballistic missiles have been fired. The IRGC has been quite clear in saying that as long as unlawful hostile actions are carried against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and as long as the threats continue against Iran, retaliation will follow. And that is what we saw in the last 24 hours. And now we are seeing again very inflammatory rhetoric fromTrump. He has said in the last couple of hours that he’s going to again hit Iran very badly. And that’s not something new, as you already mentioned. In the last few months, if not a year or two, we have been seeing Trump again and again issuing this type of inflammatory rhetoric. And Iran has said as long as this inflammatory rhetoric continues, these types of threats continue, the American side will face retaliation from Iran. As a result of these threats, we are also seeing an effect on the world markets. According to reports, the Brent oil prices have again risen. And if the escalation continues, then we are going to see a huge effect on the global markets.Press TV: Great. Okay. Turn to Morocco now. Kevin, good to have you with us. So how do you look at things? Where is this leading?Kevin Barrett: Well, people have remarked on the parallels between Trump’s repeated threats and then his equally delusional claims that he’s been negotiating with imaginary Iranians. “It is very close to an agreement.” He typically issues the threats usually towards the end of the week so that the weekend will come and they won’t disrupt the markets too much. And then he usually says he’s been negotiating with his imaginary Iranian friends and is close to a deal on Monday to try to calm the markets leading into the week. But this time he is ranting and raving with his bizarre extreme threats in the middle of the week. So who knows what that means? I don’t think that even Trump’s psychiatrist knows what Trump is really thinking. So rather than worrying about Trump’s psychology, which is pretty much a case for a whole team of psychiatrists specializing in narcissism and psychopathy, I think we should look at what’s actually going on on the ground, where the military shipments are going, and so on. And then, of course, what’s really going on with the energy trade, energy markets. In other words, the real-world factors here. And those real-world factors are that Trump and his administration are caught in what Robert Pape calls an escalation trap. They can’t get anything even remotely close to what they want. They have no idea really what they’re doing. They took Netanyahu’s advice and got into this ill-advised war, imagining that their goal was to somehow magically regime-change Iran and turn it into a Zionist colony. And that, of course, was never going to happen. And now they’re stuck with Iran inevitably coming out of this war stronger than it was before. And so they don’t want to accept that, but they have no answer for it. And the dynamics here, yes, the Americans are sending more material to the region, which means probable escalation. But what can they do? They’ve already bombed the targets they can bomb. Iran still has a lot more targets left for its missiles. The Americans have used up most of their standoff munitions, and the military is screaming at Trump that “it’s dangerously low. If China tries anything, we can’t do anything.” And so on. And so the overall situation right now is Groundhog Day. Trump is screaming and yelling again. He may do some more bombings. Iran has escalation dominance and will answer them. And we’re going to be back to square one until the Americans finally honor the MOU.Press TV: Speaking of energy markets that you also mentioned and rising oil prices and difficulties, you know, being actually a cause for many people, not only in the region, but maybe elsewhere across the planet. Trump is saying that Iran is doing this. This is collective punishment. But Hormuz did not used to be like this. It was calm. So who caused this? I mean, who’s to blame for this? Iran or President Trump’s policies and warmongering?Khomeira Ahad: You’re absolutely right about people saying that Hormuz was not like this and countries saying that it was all calm. Yeah, absolutely. It was all calm. The vessels were passing through the Strait of Hormuz without any effect. Iran was providing security without being paid. But who started it is the question which requires being pondered upon. And the answer is, it is America and Israel whose attack led to what we are seeing now, to what the world economy is facing the brunt of. And because of the aggression that was started by the United States and Israel on 28th February, Iran had to retaliate in this way. We have been seeing in the last few months, starting from the last year in June and continuing till now, what type of aggression has been exercised by America and Israel. The leader of the Islamic revolution, the martyred leader, was even assassinated. Hospitals attacked, schools attacked, 168 young children, primary schoolchildren killed in Minab. The list continues. The aggression: bridges, civilian infrastructure destroyed. And the world, apart from taking notice of what is being done to Iran, is talking about Iran restricting the passage shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. All the international laws have been violated by the United States and Israel, and this happened amidst negotiation. The first 12-day war, which happened last year in June, took place when Iran was undergoing negotiations with America, and it was the fifth or sixth round of negotiations. Next was the 40-day war, which started on 28th February with the assassination of the leader of the Islamic revolution. It happened when the third round of negotiations were taking place. And even the Omani foreign minister said that Iran was giving lots of concessions. So taking that near history into consideration, we know what type of aggression is going against Iran for the last few months. We have seen in the last few months how it has played out positively for Iran. And it is because of the Strait of Hormuz that Trump was forced to come to the negotiating table, though he again violated the negotiation, which is his modus operandi. But he was forced to stop his aggression against Iran or restrict his aggression against Iran because it was having an effect on world economy and he could not control the world economy, the rising prices, even in the American mainland. So the Strait of Hormuz is the only option helping Iran prevent further aggression.Press TV: Right. Okay, Kevin, yesterday we had Netanyahu’s visit to the US. What was he whispering in Trump’s ears? He said he has had the best meeting ever with Trump. What is it that could be probably asking President Trump to ...

"Nations Good, Empires Bad"?
1w ago01:04:40Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkLaurent Guyénot, author of From Yahweh to Zion, discusses his new book The Papal Curse…and its implications for understanding where the world is going and why.TranscriptKevin Barrett: Welcome to Truth Jihad Audio Visual. I’m Kevin Barrett doing the audio since 2006 and the visual since a little bit after that, unless you want to count my Hannity interview and stuff like that. Anyway, I’ve been looking for truth, 9/11 and otherwise, for going on 25 years. And one of the more important, noteworthy colleagues in that voyage has been Laurent Guyénot. He’s the author of From Yahweh to Zion, the only book that I was willing to spend a year and a half or so of my life translating, because it’s really important. And a lot of his other work is important too. So without further ado, welcome, Laurent. How are you?Laurent Guyénot: Thank you, Kevin, for having me. I’m fine, thank you. So, I’ve been joining you in the fight for truth only 10 years, well, about 12 years. So, you know, you’re my teacher in that field, in everything, actually.Kevin Barrett: Well, thank you. So, we’ve been together about halfway through the period since 9/11 and pretty much on the same page. With the “Israel mainly did it thesis,” which more and more people are starting to wake up to. You’re hearing whispers of that from people with tens of millions of audience members. If you add up Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and well, there have been a couple of others, I think, too. What’s his name? That famous podcaster guy? Laurent Guyénot: Nick Fuentes, maybe?Kevin Barrett: Yeah, him too.Laurent Guyénot: Actually, him more than Carlson and Candace Owens, about 9/11 at least. It seems to me, from what I’ve looked at, Carson is not really saying Israel did it. He’s just saying they might have had foreknowledge or he’s still at this stage. So that’s why we’re looking forward to the 25th anniversary to see if the Israel did it theory is moving forward. I hope so.Kevin Barrett: Well, yeah, Carlson is dropping a few nods and winks, I think. He’s just being very, very careful so as not to invite, you know, getting Charlie Kirked or something like that. But yeah, I think you were ahead of your time with that thesis. And the world is catching up to you. And so you have a couple of other very provocative historical theses as well. And that’s what we’re going to actually talk about today. Your book, The Papal Curse, has just come out. And it argues that the papacy, the institution of the Catholic Church, has really been more of a curse than a blessing for Christianity, for Europe, and for the world. Now, my many Catholic friends—and I probably have as many Catholic friends as any kind of group from another philosophy or religion outside of my own Sufi Muslim orientation—I have lots of Catholic friends, and most of them aren’t going to like this. But I think it’s a discussion worth having, and any book that you write is worth talking about. So let’s go for it. Let’s talk about The Papal Curse. So what got you started with this?Laurent Guyénot: Well, I think my research really, it’s a prolongation, a continuation of my research on Yahwism, you know, on Israel, what is the essence of Israel. And in my In my book already, From Yahweh to Zion, that it translated, I kind of opened up the discussion about the Jewish question being actually the other side of the Christian question. How Jewish power kind of conquered the West. It cannot be explained without understanding Christianity’s relationship to Judaism. That was my starting point. But then having some background in the Middle Ages—Kevin Barrett: You don’t look that old. (Just kidding.)Laurent Guyénot: Yeah. Well, you know, my mind, my soul may be quite old. I don’t know.Kevin Barrett: We’re about the same age, so you’re getting pretty old.Laurent Guyénot: Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, I, well, actually, I had some kind of, how do you call it, epiphany. One day, it just hit me, the very simple truth that if you try to understand Europe, and that’s another angle, and those two angles kind of met in my mind, because…If you love Europe, you cannot but be struck by the fact that Europe is a disaster as a civilization today because Europe is fragmented. And so therefore, if you try to understand what’s going on in the world today with the multipolar order, with civilizational states or the civilizational area trying to find a new order, you cannot help but be depressed as a European by noticing that Europe simply does not exist politically. There is a kind of European Union government. Everybody in Europe hates them. They have no legitimacy. They have no sovereignty. Every country in Europe still has... Anyway, the fragmentation of Europe, if you start to think about it—and it’s not natural to think about it because we just assume it’s the normal state of Europe. We just have been told, well, Europe is a Europe of nations. But if you really start to understand how Europe became a Europe of nations, if you’re a Christian, if you’re a Catholic, you will quickly understand that, well, that’s thanks to the Pope. And most Catholics who think the papacy did a good job are happy with Europe being a Europe of nations. They’re just not happy that Europe is not enough for a Europe of nations. And they’re not happy that nations, European nations, have lost their sovereignty. And so they’re kind of in a dilemma because they know, realistically, European nations are not players in the new multiple world. Only Europe has the potential to have a place and to resist colonization from the United States, or in the past from the Soviet Union. So that’s the tragedy of Europe. And as I studied the Middle Ages, I realized it has been a tragedy throughout the history of Europe, ever since the fall of the Roman Empire. And it has been a tragedy not only for Europe itself, because Europe is in a state of civil war. If you think of Europe as a civilization, it’s a civilization which is destroying itself all the time. It’s a constant state of war, with each nation trying to outdo the others in terms of military technology. And so from many different standpoints, even from the standpoint of the war ideology that developed in Europe and the war technology, the military technology, this was all kind of motivated by the competition between nations, trying to either dominate Europe or at least not be destroyed by their neighbors. I mean, until World War II, that’s what it was. And then there is this famous book by a German historian (Ernst Nolte) called The European Civil War. He says Europe is in a state of civil war. The First World War and the Second World War were basically European civil wars. Europeans killed each other in atrocious ways. They’ve been killing each other forever.Kevin Barrett: Some historians say that’s the single biggest reason why Europe conquered the world in modern era of colonialism and imperialism. The two most plausible reasons I’ve heard are that (fragmentation into warring states forcing rapid development of military technology) and the printing press. The printing press made people become more educated and literate, and that enabled them to jump ahead in technology. And then, of course, having them fighting each other all the time led to advances in military technology, which they used to conquer the world.Laurent Guyénot: Yeah, well, the printing press happened quite late. You know, Europe was in a state of civil war already for many centuries before, so I don’t think that’s a major factor. But yes, you know, so there are two sides to look at it, two ways tolook at it.Kevin Barrett: Wait! You’re saying Europe was already conquering the world before the printing press?Laurent Guyénot: No, I’m saying Europe was already in a civil war. .Kevin Barrett: What I was saying is those are the two reasons given for Europe’s success in conquering and colonizing the world.Laurent Guyénot: Okay.Kevin Barrett: And so they’re kind of separate, right? In other words, I wasn’t saying that the printing press happened because of civil war. They (civil war and the printing press) were just two things that happened in Europe that set Europe apart.Laurent Guyénot: Yeah, well, you know, from the printing press, you can say literacy and the industrial, the scientific revolution and so on. Yeah, of course. But if you look at what happened to China, for example, it didn’t have much to do with the printing press. It had to do with military superiority. Europeans came with their metal ships. They conquered ...

Houthis Blockade Saudis. Red Sea Closed for Renovations.
1w ago00:58:34Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute link False Flag Weekly News linkOn July 20, Yemen’s AnsurAllah government—the bravest and most principled in the Arab world—closed the Red Sea to Saudi, US, and Israeli shipping. They slammed Bab al-Madab shut exactly one week after the Saudis bombed Sanaa International Airport to prevent a flight from Tehran from landing. That flight was carrying AnsurAllah officials who had attended the momentous, massively-attended funeral for the Supreme Leader of Iran, Imam Ali Khamenei, the spiritual leader of tens of millions of people throughout the region and around the world.Memo to Trump: Murdering spiritual leaders revered by tens if not hundreds of millions of people is probably not a good idea.Mainstream media claimed that AnsurAllah’s retaliation on July 13, which targeted Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia, “shattered a four-year truce.” But it was Saudi Arabia’s bombing Sanaa Airport, not Yemen’s retaliation, that “shattered the truce.”The Saudis claimed that it wasn’t they who had bombed the airport, it was their Riyadh-based puppet occupation regime. That collection of quislings is obviously illegitimate, a mere catspaw for the Saudis. But the oil-rich sheikhs of Riyadh have used their ill-gotten billions to purchase fake “international recognition” for their pathetic pseudo-Yemeni stooges. Despite that superficial veneer of “international recognition,” nobody was fooled by the Saudis’ diversionary blather.What’s more, that “four-year truce” was a smokescreen for the Saudis’ genocidal blockade of Yemen. Around half a million Yemenis have died, four million have been displaced from their homes, and millions of children have faced severe hunger and lack of medical care due to the Saudi war and blockade.By bombing Sanaa Airport, the Saudis (and their Epstein-class bosses) offered AnsurAllah a perfect opportunity to break that genocidal blockade and regain access to food and medicine. The Saudi bombing of Sanaa was an act of war. Yemen and its legitimate government, AnsurAllah, had every right to respond. And respond they did—not just bombing a Saudi airport, but by closing Bab al-Mandab, and with it the whole Red Sea, one week later. Their “blockade for a blockade” tit-for-tat will likely not only collapse the Saudi genocide of Yemen, but also trigger immense geopolitical repercussions.With the Red Sea closed, Saudi oil exports are being severely throttled. Iran had already closed the Strait of Hormuz, and with it the Persian Gulf, eliminating the main Saudi export route. The Saudis had responded by piping oil across the country to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, and from there to Asia through the Bab al-Mandab. That allowed the Saudis to continue exporting about half as much oil as their average before February 28. Now their Red Sea exports are also being choked off. The net result of the closure of Bab al-Madab will be a doubling of the pain imposed by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, potentially creating “one crisis too many” for the global economy. Prior to the Red Sea closure, about 20% of the world’s oil supplies went through Hormuz. Due to various workarounds, the actual reduction to global oil supplies was less than 10%. Indeed, 7% is probably a good estimate. So now that AnsurAllah is taking another 7% off the market, the net shortfall is heading up to around 15%. This doubling of the oil-shortfall pain is happening just as the world’s emergency reserves are getting dangerously close to “tank bottom.” Due to the coming oil shock, which will exacerbate pre-existing structural vulnerabilities including the AI bubble and larger debt bubble, it seems highly likely that the global economy will suffer extremely severe shocks before the end of the year, for reasons discussed by Michael Hudson and Ron Unz.Yemen’s AnsurAllah leaders are not a timid bunch. Can you imagine any other government with the guts to put “damn the Jews” on their flag? (X link to video)So now the Red Sea, alongside the Persian Gulf, is closed for renovations. But what kind of renovations?It’s actually the whole region that badly needs major remodeling, if not a complete overhaul. Corrupt, illegitimate Epstein-class stooges need to be removed from power, and replaced by courageous, God-fearing men who stand on principle and are not afraid to risk and sacrifice their lives. And that isn’t just true of West Asia, but also the United States, where people who bravely stand against the Epstein class, like Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene—and maybe Rho Khanna and Jon Ossoff on the other side of the aisle—risk suffering the fate of Graham Platner and Karim Khan at best, or Charlie Kirk at worst. The fact that ZOG got rid of Massie and Greene without manufacturing fake sex scandals may be a tribute to those two leaders’ impeccability. If you have to make up AI videos ludicrously envisioning Massie having threesomes with AOC and Ilhan Omar, it suggests that your target’s actions in real life don’t leave you much room for ginning up dubious me-too stories.The AnsurAllah leaders, for their part, don’t have to worry about Jewy sex scandals. The empire will just flat-out try to murder them. Fortunately they, unlike Charlie Kirk, don’t hire Israeli-linked security companies to run their events and fit them out with microphones.AnsurAllah’s leaders, whose approach to Islam is roughly midway between the Sunni and Shia interpretations, might get my vote if they ever ran for Caliph. They uphold Islam’s insistence on justice. They do the right thing even at the risk of martyrdom. And they follow the Prophetic hadith “the best jihad is a word of truth flung in the face of a tyrant.”AnsurAllah backs up its demands for justice and truth with courageous military action when necessary. That, too, is the tradition of the Prophet, PBUH. The heroes of Yemen weren’t afraid to stand up for the Palestinian genocide victims as early as October 2023. They have fired more than 100 drone and missile attacks on Israel-bound ships, and hitting Israel itself with hundreds of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and long-range drones.And now, closing the Red Sea to genocide-complicit shipping ups the ante. AnsurAllah is becoming the stuff of legend.All hail the heroic Houthis, who are almost singlehandedly saving the honor of the entire Arab world!Stripe is Substack’s only processor and they debanked me, so you can no longer pay me through Substack.

Trump's War on Iran: Mother of All Forever Wars, Mother of All Defeats
2w ago00:07:22Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkPress TV interviews Kevin Barrett, 11/22/26Press TV: Hegseth and top military officials appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee to defend White House’s $87.6 billion emergency budget request. The War Secretary revealed that the Iran war has already cost the U.S. $37.5 billion, warning that troops training will be curtailed without immediate funding. Democratic lawmakers have sharply criticized the Trump administration for Hegseth’s failure, with some warning against another endless war with no clear outcome.Some lawmakers also shamed the Pentagon for seeking unlimited money for bombs while ordinary Americans struggle to feed their families.Video linkDr. Barrett, always a pleasure to serve you. Hope you’re safe and doing well out there in Morocco. Your thoughts? Just earlier this week, I should say there’s an Ipsis poll. I don’t know if you saw it. There’s an 68 percent, record high 68% disapproval of the war on Iran. It trumps Afghanistan at 65, Vietnam at 66, and Iraq at 67. I know there’s a standard percentage of deviation here, and they could all be one or two points up and down. But nevertheless, it ranks as supposedly, for the time being, the most unpopular war with American people in U.S. history since records were kept.Kevin Barrett: Yeah, that’s not surprising because it was the most unpopular war, at the beginning of any war, that the United States has ever begun. In fact, the difference then was even greater. At that time, the approval rating was as low as about a third of the American people. Normally at the beginning of a war, there’s a rally around the flag effect. So normally, a huge majority of Americans, for whatever reasons, brainwashing, I suppose, being the biggest one, tend to support their country and their leadership when the war begins. But this time, that didn’t happen.After 9/11, it was 90 percent approval of invading Afghanistan. And this time it was like 30% worth of weak, lukewarm approval. And it’s only been going down since then. So this is an incredibly unpopular war, as it should be. Trump ran for president in 2016 by criticizing his predecessors for getting involved and continuing in these forever wars, has found himself in the mother of all forever wars that’s going to result in the mother of all defeats, because now the mother of all surrenders, the MOU, is going to have to be redone in an even more unfavorable to the US and its Zionist masters way, and a more favorable to Iran way, than the original MOU. They’re going to have to actually follow it up front. Trump’s signature means nothing.So Trump has gotten his country into a real mess. Losing this war as badly as they’re losing it, and finishing it with a surrender as outrageous as the surrender that’s going to be coming up, is going to really be a big blow to the dwindling power and prestige of the U.S. empire at this critical time in history.Press TV: What’s wild at this point, Dr. Barrett, Donald Trump’s still selling the same pretext that we need to stop Iran’s ability to build a bomb. I mean, didn’t you do that with the June 12-day war last year? You bombed the heck out of three key nuclear facilities, basically with bunker bunkers. So God knows what the damage is, like layers and layers beneath the ground. And back then you said we put Iran’s nuclear program out of commission.Kevin Barrett: Well, if you look at some of the videos on social media of Hegseth being grilled by the congresspeople about this, you almost have to feel sorry for Hegseth. He’s in such a terrible position. They asked him about why he said that they had completely put all of Iran’s rockets and drones out of commission halfway through the second week of March. And so obviously, they’ve made all of these bombastic claims of victory that are the precise opposite of the truth, which is, again, a huge political liability.They could have gotten out of this. The American empire actually could do very well just through diplomacy in the region. And indeed, rather than bombing Iran and making it more likely that Iran at some point will conclude that it needs a nuclear weapon to ensure its own security as an existential issue against an existential threat... what they (the US) is doing is they’re trying to convince Iran that it might actually need a nuclear weapon, which Iran doesn’t want and is resistant to.So everything the US is doing is completely counterproductive. It’s all about protecting Israel, and all of this is making Israel look that much worse. It’s reshaping the region in a way that’s ultimately going to put Israel completely out of business. So once again, “they plot and God plans, and God is the best of planners.” Because as they plot, they’re undermining all of their own goals.Press TV: And before I let you go, really quick, Dr. Kevin Barrett. At this point, okay, dropping Hegseth, they’re asking for another $60-plus billion in funding. My question is, with respect to the 37 or 38, let’s round it out to $40 billion you’ve already spent in this imposed war against Iran. What have you achieved? And what are you going to achieve with another near $70 billion added to it?Kevin Barrett: Well, they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, and that seems to be what this insane administration wants to do. After $30 billion already spent, and that’s a gross underestimate, they want to just keep spending the same kind of money or more to do exactly the same things that don’t work.Iran has its weapons well protected under mountains. They weren’t able to bomb them and cause any real disruption in Iran’s ability to hit American targets and allied targets and Israeli targets with its drones and missiles, which are actually getting more powerful and more accurate—as big US media, starting with the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, have been admitting recently here in the United States. They’re admitting that Iran actually is hitting targets with more power and more accuracy. They’re more impossible to stop than they were at the beginning. And of course, that’s because Iran started by firing its older stuff and they saved their better stuff and are building even new generations of even better stuff all the time.So this is really a stupid war as well as an evil, immoral war. And I think it’s going to continue to be the most politically unpopular war in American history. It’s probably going to set new records for unpopularity. This is a public episode.

Bully Trump Messed With the Wrong Country
2w ago01:09:03Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute link False Flag Weekly News link (Or watch ad-free at the top of my Substack—a thank you to those who made this week’s Fundrazr a success.)Does schoolyard bullying make good foreign policy? Jewish-Zionist neocon fanatic Michael Ledeen thought so. Ledeen, who relocated to hell last year, is best remembered for “the Ledeen doctrine”:"Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small, crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business."Ledeen’s comparison between bullies beating up smaller children, and nations mass-murdering people from weaker nations, is revealing. Normal people hate bullies and oppose bullying. Normal people also hate wars of aggression, and are only willing to fight and die to defend their country, but not to attack or invade another nation.But people are also, in varying degrees, susceptible to manipulation by sadists and psychopaths. And that’s where Ledeen and the neocons come in. By cleverly manipulating words and images, with no regard for truth, they can make bullying sound cool, and wars of aggression a decennial duty.Bullies, despite being hated by all normal people, can get away with their despicable behavior when nobody has the courage to stand against them. A schoolyard sadist can torment a smaller child as long as his classmates look on passively. But when one of them intervenes, it gives courage to the others, and pretty soon the bully will be taken down.And sometimes the bully picks on the wrong guy. Trump got away with his crimes against Venezuela. He gets away with threatening Greenland and Canada. He’s gotten away with sending ICE goons after illegal immigrants and ordinary people alike. He gets away with endlessly spouting buffoonish, third-grade level verbal sadism on social media. He gets away with slapping countries around with absurd tariffs. He gets away with strong-arming FIFA to suspend its penalties against American soccer players. Sometimes it seems that the whole world is so shocked by Trump’s disgusting moronic psychopathy that it can’t react. But on February 28, goaded by his fellow bully Netanyahu, Trump picked on the wrong country. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been prepared to win this war throughout the past 25 years, and has gotten stronger with every passing year. It’s a nation that loathes tyrants and bullies. Iran’s majority religion, Shia Islam, makes a point of remembering and despising the tyrannical bully Yazid, who murdered the Prophet’s grandson Hussein on the plains of Karabala. By perfectly embodying the Yazid archetype, Trump has succeeded in uniting the Iranian nation, and increasingly the rest of the Shia and Islamic worlds—and with them, gradually, all of humanity—against the big, stupid, ever-more-vulnerable American bully, and the mean little Zionist psychopath who is goading him on.Trump’s ever-more-pathetic attempts to intimidate Iran into submission failed, decisively, months ago. On April 7, as an 8pm “open Hormuz or else” deadline approached, Trump tweeted: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”Iran held its nose and ignored him. Trump backed down, blustering about a two-week reprieve. Iran kept ignoring him and standing by its demands. Trump kept projectile-vomiting unhinged threats. Iran dodged the projectiles and continued ignoring him (and matching US attacks at every step on the escalation ladder.) On June 17, Trump accepted Iran’s demands by signing the MOU. It was an undisguised US surrender. But political pushback led by Zionists, and the inevitable buyer’s remorse, led Trump to re-ignite the war by violating virtually every single point of the MOU. Now we are back to unhinged threats, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and the only slightly postponed countdown-to-apocalypse, including the likelihood of mass starvation in the not-so-distant future.The likely outcome of a US-Israeli war on Iran—Iranian victory, Zio-American catastrophe—has been well-known for more than 20 years. Even the Atlantic, the leading neocon rag, admitted that Gen. Paul Van Riper’s Millennium Challenge 2002 war game exercise, which resulted in a clear Iranian victory, was correct: “I am left with two simple sentences for policymakers: You have no military solution for the issues of Iran. You have to make diplomacy work.” And that was before Iran had built its formidable rocket and drone forces housed in impregnable underground bases.And the way to make diplomacy work, especially with Iran, is through reason, not bullying. Trump, whose powers of reason are extremely limited, thinks he can endlessly bully, intimidate, and terrorize people and nations into backing down. That may have worked for Trump when he was laundering Kosher Nostra money through his casinos and hotels, but mafia methodologies have their limits when it comes to international relations. Mafia bullies often try to force people into submission by threatening their families. Did Trump, or his minions—I’m thinking specifically of Pete Hegseth—imagine that slaughtering 160 little girls, many of them the daughters of Revolutionary Guard officers, would make Iran capitulate? If so, they miscalculated badly. The murder of the girls of the Minab school has become the rallying cry for Iran and its supporters, just as the deliberate genocidal murder of tens of thousands of Gazan children has become a rallying cry for Palestine.Iran’s heroic “sacred defense” is turning the whole world against the American bully and his mean little Zionist manipulator. Most consequentially, in the short term, Iran is showing its backers, Russia and China, that it can absorb all the punishment Trump can dish out while drawing the Americans ever-deeper into the Hormuz quagmire. At this point (midsummer) it seems that the US has exhausted much of its limited supply of standoff weapons, which cannot be replenished for three to five years. The US has used one-third of its Tomahawks, JASSMs, and SM-6s, and half or more of its PrSMs, SM-3s, THAADs, and Patriots. Russia and China, seeing how a much smaller nation has been able to “rope-a-dope” the Americans into exhausting themselves, cannot help seeing their opportunity to put the bully out of his misery, whether kinetically or by leveraging their ability to do so.It seems that the Americans, led by their moron-in-chief, badly misunderestimated* Iran. High on their own propaganda supply, they imagined Iran as backwards and medieval. In reality, it ranks third in the world in engineering graduates. They imagined Iran oppressing women. In fact, Iranian women have the highest literacy rate in the region, dominate Iranian universities, and are heavily involved in designing and building the rockets and drones that have decimated US Mideast bases.The biggest reason the American bully underestimated his Iranian target can be summed up in one word: religion. Western ruling classes, those Anti-Religious Religious Fanatics, generally hold religion in contempt…and that goes double for Islam. They imagine that all religious people—especially Muslims—are stupid, primitive, and unsophisticated. And while that description may apply to many Christian Zionists from the American Bible Belt (take Pete Hegseth, please) it definitely fails in relation to Iranian seminaries in places like Qom and Mashhad, where the most rigorous classical education on Earth is pursued by a great many highly intelligent people. For an introductory sketch, read Roy Mottahedeh’s classic The Mantle of the Prophet.Religion and patriotism have long been the glue that holds societies together and spurs them to the sacrifices that war demands. By murdering the Supreme Leader of Iran and his family, along with the schoolgirls of Minab, the American bully stumbled into a hornets’ nest. Iran is uni...

Ken Meyercord on "So-Called Holocaust Denial"
3w ago00:41:46Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkAbove: Ken Meyercord’s award-winning film “So-Called Holocaust Denial.”----Below: Kevin Barrett and Ken Meyercord discuss “So-Called Holocaust Denial”:Rumble link Bitchute linkKen Meyercord, who spent years as Washington, DC’s most controversial talk show host, writes:Inspired by a trip to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah last January, I’ve been submitting my magnus opus, So-called Holocaust Denial, to film festivals around the world. It’s won some awards.Lest you think this is some tremendous breakthrough in thwarting the censorship surrounding the Holocaust, let me tell you what I’ve learned about the film festival business: it’s a racket. There are hundreds of so-called festivals out there but most consist of no more than a website and a repository for submission fees. They don’t actually hold a festival, just announce the winners on their website while providing no opportunity for an audience to view the films. I’ve submitted my film to some 25 festivals and, despite winning at four (with 15 or so still to be heard from), I can’t say for certain if anyone has actually watched my film—not even a reviewer, much less an audience. There are legitimate festivals out there who host a real festival and show the winners to a live audience, but it’s hard to tell the legit from the fraudulent online. Still, I consider the $20-25 submission fee worth it if there is hope at least a reviewer or two will actually watch the film. (You can watch the film here).P.S. I’ve reached the limit of my financial resources ($500). If you think this is a worthy endeavor (despite the caveats above), I would welcome any financial help you are willing (and able) to offer (all contributions will remain anonymous). you can do so through my ZELLE account (kiaskfm@verizon.net), Note that I am not a non-profit (501c3) organization. If you prefer, you can make a tax-deductible contribution through The Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH.com)here.Interview TranscriptKevin Barrett: Welcome to Truth Jihad Audiovisual. I’m Kevin Barrett, bringing you interesting people doing good work, whether in written form or— sometimes—filmmakers. And that would be Ken Meyercord, an intrepid filmmaker and TV host out of Washington, D.C. who has, for quite some time, been putting heretical material on the D.C. airwaves. And he’s got a new film out. I’m not sure quite how new. It’s called So-Called Holocaust Denial. So, hey, Ken, welcome. How’s it going?Ken Meyercord: Hi. It is not very new. I did it in January.Kevin Barrett: …So-Called Holocaust Denial. That’s a provocative title. And we all know that there are atrocities. And there were World War II atrocities. This is what happened to Dresden. But that wasn’t the Germans that did that, was it?Ken Meyercord: No, they didn’t do it at all. The good guys did. This was their work. And I was mentioning to you earlier, I just discovered a documentary made by 2001. It was on the History Channel. I mean, it’s big time. But one of their episodes, there are about 15 of them, was called The Aftermath of the War. And they talked about the fact that a quarter of all German housing was destroyed by the end of the war, and the cities firebombed and nothing much left of them and whatnot, and how they were starving, millions of Germans, or a million at least, according to James Bacque. And that was in his book, Other Losses. And between the starvation and… the German POWs after the war spent the winter of 1945-46 out in the cold, digging foxholes for themselves. So a number of them died too in that winter. Anyway, this is a great book about all that. But the movie, and I should have got a clip up of it, The War in Color. It’s called that because they discovered a bunch of color photography that had never been seen before on the war. This is not one of them. But they talked about the aftermath. And usually that’s not included in World War II documentaries. You know, we just, we won the war and everybody’s happy and freedom and authoritarian. Marshall plan, right. Kevin Barrett: whole thing. Yeah, we rebuilt Germany, treated the Germans so nicely. Yeah, right.Ken Meyercord: Yeah. Anyway, so that’s, and Dresden was the showcase of what we did to the German cities.Kevin Barrett: It almost looks like Gaza, doesn’t it?Ken Meyercord: Well, interestingly, no. These buildings are still standing because they weren’t bombed with explosives, but with fire bombs. So buildings, the concrete and steel buildings survived, but everything else was demolished.Kevin Barrett: It’s a ravaged landscape in any case, city-scale.Ken Meyercord: Yeah. And I just realized in making my movie—I can’t believe it never occurred to me. One of the most impactful images that convinces people how horrible the Holocaust was is the shots of the piles of bodies in the concentration camps.Kevin Barrett: Yeah, we might actually have some of those. Let me see… Is this a pile of bodies?Ken Meyercord: That is a pile of bodies, interestingly. That’s a pile of German dead in Dresden being cremated. Or an attempt to cremate them. And the interesting thing about that is there’s a Zionist outfit out there called March for Life, I think it is. And they use that in their tours. They take young Jewish kids of tours of the concentration camps, and they use this shot in their publicity, thinking, well, it’s a pile of people being cremated, it must be Jews.Kevin Barrett: Right.Ken Meyercord: In fact, it’s Germans. Kevin Barrett: Yeah. Holocaust means a burnt offering. And actually, Dresden was more of a Holocaust probably than Auschwitz.Ken Meyercord: Go ahead to those files.Kevin Barrett: Okay, so let’s look at the others. Okay, so we talked about atrocities are very real. Wartime atrocities are common, and this was Dresden firebombed. Kurt Vonnegut wrote about that famously in Slaughterhouse-Five, if you want a vivid description. And James Bacque wrote about these other atrocities against Germany, including after the war when possibly a million POWs, German POWs, were starved to death, deliberately dead of exposure. And Germans were then ethnically cleansed from the lands in that area. And many of them died as they were forced to basically march across winter landscapes with no warm clothing and no food.Ken Meyercord: Transported the same cattle cars that the Jews had been transported in and placed in the same concentration camps. Repatriated Germans as late as 1961.Kevin Barrett: Interesting. And we don’t get that stressed in our history textbooks. Well, other wartime atrocities and exaggerations and propaganda around atrocities, that happens all the time with wars, as we know, with the Israelis lying about all these supposed Hamas rapes, which did not happen on October 7, 2023. And then, of course, the Israelis are the ones who rape everything in sight. Well, here’s Time Magazine talking about the Balkans Wars of the late 90s.Ken Meyercord: The UN accusing, finally, the Israelis of all sorts of sexual crimes in their prisons and whatnot?Kevin Barrett: Right, training dogs to rape prisoners and so on. Yeah, the Israelis, I mean, every accusation is a confession for them. But anyway, so here’s a Time magazine from the Balkans Wars. In this case, I think Serbia got most of the bad publicity. This was after the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 90s, right?Ken Meyercord: Yeah, well, it was, yeah, yeah, this was, yeah, must have been. Anyway, so... That’s a refugee camp in Bosnia, or rather the Serbian parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina. You want me to tell the story about it?Kevin Barrett: Yeah, give me the short version.Ken Meyercord: Oh, yeah. Okay. Anyway, a British Correspondent Penny Marshall of ITV went to this camp and took this picture and it appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Supposedly those are Bosnians who are in a Serbian concentration camp behind barbed wire. Well, it turns out Marshall had crawled into an enclosure where there was a tool shed, and the enclosure was surrounded by barbed wire. So she’s the one behind the barbed wire. And these are Bosnians in a Serbian refugee camp. It’s a schoolyard, actually. They’re free to come and go as they wished. But that doesn’t quite fit the storyline that Bosnians would seek refuge in something the Serbs set up. So anyway, pictures like that got us all bent out of shape, and pretty soon we were bobbing Serbian positions in Bosnia-Herzegovina.Kevin Barrett: Right. And people are still arguing about those wars. I was recently in Croatia at an E. Michael Jones conference, and there’s still a lively discussion about, you know, who i...

The Definition of Insanity: Donald Trump
3w ago00:03:12Tap to summarizeVideo from Press TV Telegram Channel See also: Rumble link Bitchute link TruthJihad link It’s increasingly obvious that Donald Trump, who had severe psychological issues to begin with, is not getting any less crazy as he degenerates into senility. Putting a madman in charge, at the precise moment when the empire is about to be overtaken by its rivals, is either a bold stroke of genius, or the stupidest move ever…and I’m pretty sure I know which alternative is correct.Coincidentally, shortly after I gave this interview, Hua Bin posted “The ‘Mad King’ of the West.” In it he notes: “When a king’s erratic behavior crosses the line from a nuisance to an existential threat to the state’s survival, the ruling elite, the military, or the king’s own family sometimes step in to permanently remove him.” My comment:What to do with Mad King Trump?Gemini: “In Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the carnivalesque, the ending of carnival requires the symbolic execution, dethroning, or banishment of the mock king or ‘Lord of Misrule.’”I propose that Elon build a very silly looking rocket and launchpad on the White House lawn. Trump, wearing a fool’s cap, is strapped to the nosecone. The rocket is launched, with great fanfare, carrying the soon-to-be-asphyxiated Mad King as far away from Earth as possible.This ritual, livestreamed worldwide to an audience of billions, would symbolize not just the end of Trump’s misrule, but also that of the Mad Empire for which he fronts.If you have a better idea, be sure to post it in the comments below.-KBTranscript:It's the old definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. And Trump is nothing if not insane, as well as a senile, certified narcissist. His psychiatric diagnosis actually would probably take up pretty much your whole program. What makes this even crazier, from the American perspective, is that signing this MOU, which was essentially an American surrender, got all kinds of political pushback. So it looks like the administration or the powers that be behind it are having sort of buyer’s remorse about their MOU. Now they’re going back into the same losing posture that they were in before they signed it—which was the whole reason they signed it in the first place! This kind of flailing around to no strategic point is typical behavior of Western governments, and in particular the Trump Administration, these days. But I think this is really an extreme case of just completely clueless strategic planning and decision-making. There's never been a case in history where bombing a country, bombing its civilians in particular, actually convinced the civilians to sue for peace. It's always been the exact opposite. And we saw this with World War II. Notoriously, the horrific fire bombings of German cities and the horrific nuclear bombings actually were not what forced that surrender. In other words, the historians are agreed that you cannot convince anybody to overthrow their government and sue for peace by bombing civilian targets. It just angers the civilians. And makes them work that much harder on behalf of resisting. And that’s anybody. That works with all countries. But in the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we have the absolute last country on Earth that anybody should imagine that they can coerce by deliberately targeting their civilians by bombing water plants and power plants and bridges and things like that. The people of Iran are majority Shia Muslim who have internalized that interpretation of Islam's commandment of justice to say that the big example here was the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. And a big mistake was made then, when people didn't stand up for him, and we're not going to make that mistake again. And so martyring the leadership, martyring the schoolgirls of Minab, and then threatening to harm the civilians of Iran is not going to convince the people of Iran to back off or to become cowards. It’s the opposite. The more that Trump acts like a crazed, out-of-control bully, the more fierce the resistance and the stronger the resistance is. This is a public episode.
