Rumble link Bitchute linkLast week's interview with Laurent Guyénot stimulated much discussion and controversy. Some listeners wanted to hear more on miracles and what Islam says about them, while others insisted that Guyénot's critique of Christianity is misguided.Canadian Muslim author Eric Walberg and I discuss miracles. Walberg discussed anomalous events in general, and miracles in particular, in his review of Jeffrey Kripal's How to think impossibly about souls, UFOs, time, belief, and everything else. Since my doctoral dissertation compares medieval Moroccan miracle stories to contemporary personal experience narratives of anomalous events, I've thought about this topic quite a bit, which is why I didn't want to go off on such a huge tangent during last week's conversation with Laurent Guyénot. So today's the day for the tangent.Guyénot suggested that Islam is less concerned with miracles, and more compatible with secular rationalism, than Christianity and Judaism. Though he isn't entirely wrong, it's actually a lot more complicated than that. Tune in for the details.Excerpt addressing Guyénot’s question about Islam and miraclesKevin Barrett: Laurent Guyénot raised the issue of how religious schools of thought (specifically Islam) think about miracles. In Christianity we know that they are considered religiously significant. When an alleged miracle or a story of a miracle comes to the attention of the church authorities, and they think it might be religiously significant, they investigate it. And it can end up becoming a proof of somebody's sainthood. They believe that miracles are related to whether or not somebody deserves to be canonized as a saint.And in Islam, there's a parallel process with saints' miracles, which are called karamat al-awliya. But there's no institutional bureaucracy that decides whether or not this particular story is legitimate and whether it's a real karama or miracle. So the two types of religiously significant miracles in Islam are the saints' miracles, the karamat al-awliya, and then secondly, the mujiza.The mujiza is a miracle of the prophets that God sends as proof of the prophet's mission. In Islam it's widely accepted that the prophet Muhammad peace upon him, the last and seal of the prophets, brought as his main miracle the message itself: the Qur’an. There are stories of other miraculous events around him, but they're all secondary to the main miracle of the message.So those are the two religiously significant kinds of miracles: the mujiza, the miracle or proof of a prophethood—and that would include all of Jesus' miracles that we discussed, as well as Moses parting the Red Sea, etc.—and then there are the karamat, the saints’ miracles. But then what do you do with all of these other things you're talking about Eric like levitation? Some guy posts a video of himself levitating. How would muslims or christians think about that?In Islam, it’s generally accepted that there are these kinds of events that may not have the religious significance of a prophet's miracle, a mujizah, or a saint's miracle, a karama. And probably the term that gets used the most often is the khariq al-ada خارق العادة which it means the shredding of habit or habituality. So the idea is that nature has what some scientists think of as laws, but they're not laws. That's just a metaphor. A law is when the government says you have to do this or else. But the the regularities in nature, which are often mathematical, are simply habits. That is, generally, when you let go of something, it falls to the ground. It doesn't just float up into the air. And usually when you lie down on your bed, you stay pressed into the mattress. You don't slowly rise up off the mattress. That's very rare. So if that happens, is it violating a law? No, there's no law. No government told you had to get stuck to the mattress. It's simply something that's inhabitual.Now, this goes right in line with Hume's critique of causality, where Hume—and then Bishop Berkeley pushed it even further—said that there's no such thing as a cause. There's simply stuff that happens after other stuff happens. So if every time you lie on the bed, you press yourself into the mattress, it's not caused by gravity. There's no cause. It's just that you've observed that every time you ever lay down on the bed, you've gone into the mattress. So it's happened 100 times. The 101st time, you happen to float up into the air. That's an exception to the rule. And in the Islamic view that's a shredding of habituality. So the normal habitual action, or what we expect—that habit is suddenly broken. And something very inhabitable happens, to the extent it's so extreme that habituality is shredded like a veil that's shredded, revealing some deeper reality underneath.So that's the term that gets applied in general to all such paranormal type events. And it's widely accepted in most parts of the Islamic world traditionally that these types of things do happen. And then there's a discussion about whether the fact that this particular holy man, wherever he goes, people are miraculously healed, and wild, fierce animals come up and roll at his feet and love him. And he knows what's happening at a distance. Maybe he even teleports. There are people here in Morocco who are said to occasionally teleport to Mecca. They don't need to take the plane to do the Hajj pilgrimage. There's one one person in Oujda, Morocco, here on the Algerian border, who went to sleep one night and supposedly woke up in Algeria the next day. He was a shrif or holy man. So for all of these kinds of stories—whether they're all true or not, well, probably not—and if you want a collection of all these Moroccan stories about wild and crazy events and superstitions and such, read Westermark’s Ritual and Belief in Morocco. It's quite a collection of these kinds of things.But getting back to Laurent Guyenot’s point: Is Islam less given to being focused on miracles? And the answer is, maybe a little less, in that the Quran is the main miracle of the prophet. That message is the miracle. But I think the actual ontology in the Islamic world is in some ways almost more open to accepting the reality of these inhabitual events, these shreddings of habituality, that occasionally happen. And I think one reason is that the ontology in the Islamic world is based on wujud. And wujud is the word that's translated as being in English. But what wujud actually means is finding. So in that sense there's no such thing as being, outside of finding. That is, everything that exists is found by somebody. You find it: that's how you know it exists. Somebody has to find it. There's no such thing as just pure existence without somebody finding it. And the act of finding is an active process. It’s like what quantum mechanics says. There's nothing there until somebody looks at it. The tree doesn't fall in the forest until somebody hears it. And so that's the implication of the notion of being as finding or wujud.Stripe debanked me.

Rumble link Bitchute linkIf you live in the West, noticing and pointing out who rules over you can get you censored, deplatformed, bankrupted, fined, or even sent to prison. Fortunately China, now arguably the world’s most powerful country, offers free speech on that particular topic. Hua Bin, a new contributor to the Unz Review, takes advantage by discussing the Jewish stranglehold on the West in relation to his recent articles “The West Is a Demeritocracy” and “US Reeking of the Smell of Fear.”Transcript selection:Kevin Barrett: There is a Karl Rove quote to Ron Suskind, I believe it was, after 9/11. And Rove went on this rant saying that, “all of you in the reality-based community are still stuck in that…We're an empire and we create our own reality now.”Hua Bin: Exactly. I must have seen that three dozen times in various books. Essentially this is the imperialist speaking, right? They create the reality and everybody else lives in the reality that they create. And eventually they reach that point where they don't live in a world of facts, physical laws. Like somehow physical laws are suspended on the date of 9/11, right? Buildings collapsing for no good reason and the laws of physics doesn't apply to airplanes and things of this nature. I like to think those guys actually are sometimes very honest about what they're doing. And frankly, it's out there, right? All the information you need is out there. Very few people actually bother to connect the dots. If you connect the dots, the conclusion is so transparent. It's so just right staring at you in your face, right?To your point, Karl Rove is essentially kind of opening the book to you. How many people really think through what he said and what's the implications? Especially in the context of what happened with 9/11. The so-called war on terror, was just like such a straightforward case of “so who benefits from that terrorist attack? Did the so-called extremist Muslims benefit from that? Or did the state of Israel benefit from that?”So go back to your common sense logic and think about those defining moments in history. And you say, like, we're living in a world that's kind of in the movie of Matrix, right? You can decide to take the blue pill, as most people did, right? And say, “I just pretend I'm living this normal life, not living in the body of the Matrix.” If you take the red pill, it's actually pretty easy to see through all that.To what extent do you think that this (Western decadence, demeritocracy, etc.) is symptomatic of not just a decline in virtue in Western leadership circles per se, but specifically a decline in virtue corresponding with the rise of Jewish power in the West? We certainly see that the Jewish tradition behind the creation of the so-called Jewish state in occupied Palestine is genocidal and mendacious. I translated a book by Laurent Guyernot called From Yahweh to Zion, which makes the case that the roots of that kind of psychopathic lack of ethics go back to the Torah, the holy book, which has influenced this whole Jewish tradition.And so we see that for sure in the colony in Palestine. But there are those who argue that it's also a factor in the Ukraine war and and in the general bad leadership that we're seeing in the West, the propaganda bubble that you talked about in your demeritocracy article.And another quotation regarding that that I want to mention to you, or I did earlier before the show, was Alan Hart, the former BBC lead correspondent for the Middle East, claimed that a very high-level Israeli, who may have been Golda Meir, told him that “our problem is that we believe our own propaganda.” Everybody believes their own propaganda but (here again) Jews are “just like everybody else only more so” as the saying goes. And in this case in terms of believing their own propaganda they really excel at that. We have an unbroken tradition of this tribe whose holidays are all the same: “they tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat.” So for thousands of years their story is that these evil other tribes hated them and wanted to kill them for no particular reason. And so the heroic Jews then fought those tribes and genocided them, like with Purim in the book of Esther. They won. And so, hey, it's a story of success. And then that goes right on into modern times, where we have “the Russians fought us with all their pogroms and so on. There were six million Jews killed in the Russian pogroms. But then we won. There was the Bolshevek revolution. And then the Nazis tried to kill us in the gas chambers, and we won.” And all of these stories are about probably about equally reliable. That is, the details of the Purim story are probably just about as reliable as the details of the gas chamber story or any of these stories.But not only do ordinary Jewish people mostly believe these stories, or pretend to at least on their Jewish holidays in some cases, but they've seized tremendous power and have now inflicted these kinds of stories, especially the Holocaust story—and the 9/11 story, for that matter—on the world, as almost a new religion.And so this believing one's own propaganda thing is so far out of control in Jewish culture. I wonder to what extent that has perhaps metastasized and killed the quality of leadership in the West in general.I think there's certainly a huge extent of that. Let’s be honest: They persevered. They were driven out of their ancestral homeland and they managed not to integrate. They managed not to assimilate into any of the societies, right? They kept their tradition, their language, their identity, and their plan for the long term. And they take every advantage the whole society provides in terms of...influence campaigns, constructing a society that's beneficial to them or to their particular set of skills. I think if you read Henry Ford’s The International Jew, the connection of his essays back in the 1920s, he was mostly talking about Jewish people, not from a religious perspective, but from a business perspective. But he was kind of describing the the manipulativeness and the kind of reliance on gimmicks, on tricking your competitor and all that.It sounds like Donald Trump.Yeah. He's a dedicated Zionist. He actually probably wanted to be born a Jew. Like some of his best buds are Jewish, right? In New York real estate..,His mentor was Roy Cohn.Yeah, exactly. So I think, you know, let me go back to the Jewish, you know, I think uniqueness. I actually think they're very unscrupulous. They're very smart, very intelligent, but they really...don't seem to have any moral mooring, right? It's probably because of religion. To my knowledge, like Talmud never really talks about virtue, about being good. They never even talk about afterlife. It’s all about maximizing your life in this life. Whatever you do to get ahead is permissible.Wealth, power, and progeny. And progeny is the only immortality.Yeah, exactly. Grabbing, kind of enriching yourself, all those are virtues, I think, in their minds. And that's very different from almost all the teachings in other religions when they describe a better world in the afterlife, so you have to do good in this life in order to get into that better world in the afterlife. But that seems to be lacking. I don't want to be definitive about it because I don't want to pretend that I've read the Talmud from cover to cover. But from what I hear, the key philosophies from Talmud seem to be very Machiavellian. I'm even a little surprised that Niccolo Machiavelli was not Jewish. Because his words are like music to like to the inner self of the average Jew.That's what Michael Ledeen said. Michael Ledeen, one of the nastiest of the neocons, wrote a book on Machiavelli, and he did say that Jews are inherently Machiavellian, and Machiavelli resonates with Jews. So yeah, he put it right out there. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit kevinbarrett.substack.com/subscribe

Rumble link Bitchute link“Israel,” a euphemism for the genocide of Palestine, is deliberately sabotaging the ceasefire in hopes of resuming its genocide of Gaza. Netanyahu is brazenly violating the terms of the ceasefire. According to The New York Times’ Israeli sources, Israel has failed to keep its promises, including sending hundreds of thousands of tents into Gaza. (It’s winter there, and Palestinian women and children are dying of starvation and exposure.)Hamas, which Israeli officials admit has complied perfectly with the ceasefire agreement, has responded to Israel’s violations by saying that it will delay further hostage releases until Israel stops violating the agreement. Meanwhile, the Jewish-dominated Western mainstream media is lying outrageously by accepting Netanyahu’s framing the situation as “Hamas threatens to break the agreement by not releasing hostages.”The proverb “the Jew cries out as he strikes you” is inadequate in the face of this kind of genocidal mendacity. (“We Jews are the victims! The evil goys won’t release our hostages! They’re the ones violating the ceasefire! Now we must righteously exterminate them! Those women and children are Amalek! They’re just animals!”) Since Jewish billionaires own the West, starting with its politicians and media, it’s all but illegal to state the obvious: All of this lying genocidal mania is quintessentially Jewish. The Torah is the most racist, genocidal book in the history of the world, and the tribe formed by it is the most racist, genocidal tribe ever to disgrace the face of the Earth. The proverb “never make a deal a Jew” may not be as witty as “the Jew cries out as he strikes you,” but it does offer sound advice that the Palestinians should have taken long ago. By engaging in the Oslo peace process in good faith, the Palestinians and their regional supporters naively set themselves up for the accelerated genocide they’re now experiencing. The Oslo Accords were never worth the paper they were printed on, because the Jewish State, formed by centuries of demonic Torah-Talmud programming, is psychopathic. And you can’t make a deal with a psychopath.Now the Resistance faces yet another quintessentially Jewish betrayal of an agreement that was supposed to stop a genocide. Clearly the tribe whose ethics or lack thereof were formed by the Torah-Talmud is supremely non-agreement-capable, and has been for millennia, as the Russians have long known. The only way to deal with them is to make sure they never, ever get the upper hand. And if by some supreme misfortune they do get the upper hand, as they have in the West during the past few centuries, you need to make “getting it back” your top priority…maybe your only priority.During our argument on his radio show yesterday, Richie Allen was offended when I blurted out that the collapsing ceasefire and resuming genocide reinforces the “never make a deal with a Jew” stereotype. I responded that I’m tired of belaboring the obvious point that “not all Jews” are Zionists, or non-agreement-capable, or genocidal, or whatever. There are plenty of wonderful people who’ve been born into Jewish families, and I’ve been privileged to know dozens of them. I’ve even known a couple of converts to Judaism who were good folks. But the Jewish collective, the tribe, harbors a pernicious racist, genocidal ideology and is given to pathological lying at a level that beggars belief. Anti-genocide fighters are at war with “the Jews” in the same way that anti-Nazis were at war with “the Nazis” and anti-Communists were at war with “the Communists” (even though many if not most Nazis and Communists were nice people and often even interpreted their doctrines in a relatively benign way). That’s my take, anyway. It definitely isn’t Richie Allen’s. So what’s yours?Transcript begins:That's The Hollies, or was The Hollies, and long, cool woman in a black dress. This is The Richie Allen Show, live from the heart of the great city of Salford. I'm Richie Allen, and Kevin Barrett is standing by. Kevin, welcome back. Kevin is an academic, he's a broadcaster writer, and a great friend of the programmes. Kevin, I just want to say a quick hello to you, and I'm going to read part of a statement by the Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, if you don't mind. How are you, by the way?I'm doing okay, but having Netanyahu say hello to me instead of Richie Allen is actually kind of a weird way to start the conversation.It would be nice, wouldn't it? It actually would be nice, but these people are never going to speak to us, Kevin. Netanyahu has just given a statement to the press in Israel. It's been picked up by Reuters and every other news agency. He said, I'm going to paraphrase this very quickly. “I've concluded a four-hour discussion at the political security cabinet, outraged at the three hostages and their condition last Saturday, yada, yada. We welcome Trump's demand for the release of our hostages by noon on Saturday and welcome his revolutionary vision for the future of Gaza.” And here's the important part. “In light of Hamas's announcement of its decision to violate the agreement and not release our hostages, last night I ordered the IDF to amass forces inside and around the Gaza Strip. The operation is taking place at these hours. It will be completed in the very near future. If Hamas doesn't return our hostages by noon on Saturday, the ceasefire will be terminated and the IDF will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated. What's your response to that?Well, obviously, Hamas can't be defeated because it's Islamic resistance to Zionist genocide. And almost two billion people support that, including everybody here in Morocco, even the bought and paid for government people who run the fake official policy here in Morocco. If any of them had the slightest chance to stick a knife in Netanyahu's back, they would do it. Everyone hates these people, and increasingly not just around the global South, but in the corridors of power in the West, and to some extent, even in the occupied USA. So I think that this threat to resume high-speed genocide of Gaza…who knows where it will actually go. But all of this is the whole Zionist movement lashing out in its death throes. The whole world has now seen that Zionism is just a euphemism for the genocide of Palestine, that so-called Israel is just a euphemism for the genocide of Palestine. That's all it's ever been. That's all it ever will be. Virtually the entire world's population despises this genocide and these disgusting psychopaths who are perpetrating it. And they are going down. And the only question is just how badly and bloodily they go down.Isn't the question actually how did they go down? Because let's say for once, I'm not going to spend any time arguing with you. OK, I'm going to say, OK, it's a disgusting genocide. Of course it is. Crimes against humanity, unspeakable crimes. You have South Africa, you have Scandinavian countries, you have the Republic of Ireland. It's terrible. But how is it going to be defeated? I'm not here to be pessimistic. I'm going to give you it as I see it. Nobody is going to stop it, Kevin. If they decide from noon on Saturday to begin flying over Gaza and dropping bombs on people who are now sitting on mounds of rubble, on the graves of their children and their widows, nobody in the world is going to stop it. All the words about genocide, all the threats, all the ICCs, nothing is going to stop it, Kevin, is it? Let's be clear about that. If they want to do it, they'll do it, and it ain't going to be stopped. Indeed, and they'll be digging their graves even a little deeper. And that means that when people start killing Zionist Jews, they will do it in a more slow and painful fashion.Who's going to do that, Kevin? Who's going to do that?Everybody is.But who's everybody?Everybody. The prophecy in Islam is that at some point the Jews are going to get so far out of control that every rock and every tree on earth that has a jew hiding behind it will say “there's a Jew hiding behind me come and kill him.” And I think we're almost there.What about the Jews that were in Manchester on Saturday condemning it? What about those Jews? Well, I hope the rocks and trees don't shout out about them. I hope they hide successfully. In fact, I will personally hide them.You see I don't believe in God and I don't believe in the scriptures. Maybe I'd be better off if I did. Maybe life would be easier for me. What I see is... the inevitable situation, because I do believe this is the Greater Israel Project laid out, laid bare for everybody in the world to see. The problem I have with it is nothing will stop this happening. If they want, if this is the end or if this is the pinnacle of the Greater Israel Proj...

Rumble link Bitchute linkHistorian Laurent Guyénot, author of From Yahweh to Zion, returns to discuss his two most recent articles, “The Disraeli Enigma” and “The Cursed Nation and the Temple of Satan.” On a related note, see my argument with Jonas Alexis, who negatively reviewed From Yahweh to Zion in the new issue of Culture Wars.Excerpts from the transcript:Laurent Guyenot: I'm not fighting against Christianity and I'm definitely not fighting against Jesus. I feel Jesus is an incredibly inspiring heroic figure. “Jesus is a Palestinian.” We need Jesus. I'm not trying to deny the importance of Jesus as a central figure in our civilization.But my priority now became to understand Israel. And I became convinced that you cannot understand modern Israel if you don't understand that modern Israel is the same as ancient Israel. And that's a big disagreement with Christians (who say) “modern Israel has nothing to do with the people of ancient Israel, who were holy people. Yes, they wanted to genocide the Amalekites, but that's because the Amalekites were really, really, really bad.” I'm fed up with these kinds of things. I feel Netanyahu wants to genocide the Amalekites exactly as Moses wanted to genocide the Amalekites. And I feel it's really way too late now to start to defend ancient Israel. Ancient Israel is just as demonic as modern Israel. And if you don't come to the point of realizing this, you just cannot understand what Israel is. You think “it's because they're Zionists, they're not real Jews in any way, they're Ashkenazi Jews.” And you find all kinds of excuses to protect the essence of Israel.The essence of Israel is in the Bible, is in the Torah. I don't especially want to burn the Torah, but I want to put it in a museum or in a library together with Homer and this kind of thing. It's an interesting book, but I definitely don't want anything to do with it as the story of God choosing the Jews. I don't believe God chose the Jews. If I talk to Christians, I want to help them to find a way to get out of this dilemma.And one way, I suggest to them is (to ask): Did Jesus really claim to be the Messiah? Because it doesn't really matter. You say, well, there's the true Messiah or the military Messiah. In any case, if Jesus said, yes, I am the Messiah, that means he stands within the paradigm of the chosen people. Because if God sends the Messiah, that means He needs the holy people and so on. From the historical perspective, that of historians of Jesus, it's debatable. because there is this, notion of the messianic secret. Sometimes Jesus sounded like he said, yes, I'm the Messiah, but don't say it, don't tell it to anyone—which of course, from the historian's point of view, means that he didn't say “I'm the Messiah.” It's the disciples who said he was the Messiah after he died. It's very simple ogic that leads us to conclude that, in fact, Jesus rejected the title of Messiah.So we can say we can basically become Marcionist. That's why I offer to the Christian the only way you can get out and start to save Christianity. Because if you continue to worship ancient Israel, you are worshipping the Devil. If you think Yahweh is God, you are confusing God with the Devil. So the only way you can get out of this catastrophic situation is to understand that Jesus is not the Messiah. Jesus is a guy who is like Socrates, a guy who is completely 100% loyal to the truth, to what he saw as true, to the point of sacrificing his life.In a few days, we will have the anniversary of the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell. I was thinking about this today. I felt I have to write something.Jesus was like that. He could not stand to see this evil society. He spoke out or — he's not like Aaron Bushnell, but the impulse to be totally, 100%, in harmony with what you believe, you know, and going all the way: That's what Jesus was. So he was destroyed. He is precisely the saint, the patron saint, of people like you and me. Or at least we should try to imitate him in the sense of fighting against Israel to the point of being ready to pay the price.Jesus, by the way, was crucified not by the Jews, but by the empire. They use the empire to destroy their enemy.So I get carried away. But what I wanted to say fundamentally is that I feel it's wrong to defend ancient Israel. It's wrong to excuse Moses for having to kill the Amalekites. Now, everybody can see what is Israel. So you have no excuse any more. And we hear Netanyahu say “the Gaza people are Amalek.” We have no more excuses for the Torah. We have to go to the root of the problem. The root of the problem is the Torah.Kevin Barrett: There is an alternative between orthodox Christianity, which embraces the so-called Old Testament or Torah as an inerrant holy book—at least traditional Christians do that—and the Marcionite position, which is basically your position, which is that the God of the Old Testament is the Devil.And that third position alternative is the one that I, of course, adhere to. It is based on the Islamic interpretation that, number one, the Torah or Old Testament has been distorted by the human transmitters, namely the Jewish cognitive elite. They turned a series of the divine revelations that had been given to try to guide this deeply misguided tribe back to the straight path, but they kept rebelling. They're the most stiff-necked, obdurate, basically evil, let's face it, satanic group of people ever. For Muslims the record of the Jewish people that comes down in the Torah and then is totally revised by the Quran gives us the image of a people who are not good people. No Muslim would ever defend the ancient nation of Israel, far from it. We see the ancient nation of Israel as a deeply troubled and misguided nation that got prophetic revelations attempting to bring it back to truth and justice. But instead of accepting the message of truth and justice, that is, the message of God, who is truth, al-Haqq, the Jewish cognitive elite took their metaphysical chops—and maybe not just a kind of a logical, rational understanding, but a kind of mystical ability. And they turned it to black magic, to evil. In other words, they were getting the message that should have guided them back to the straight path. And they kept rebelling against it satanically. And then when they wrote down their book, they changed the message. And so, yes, indeed, you do have plenty of demonic influence coming through that book.So that third position then would still see Jesus as a divine prophet, and maybe in a sense, the Messiah prophet, the one who totally clarifies what's been at stake through the entire Torah, which is the truth of God, God's truth, coming through prophets, and being expressed to a deeply evil people to try to give them one more chance to straighten up. And the only sense in which they're privileged or chosen is that they've been given so many chances, but all it does is give them more chances to damn themselves.So that's the Quranic view and that's my view.Well, that's not my view, Kevin, as you know, but I understand and I’m willing to dialogue. But basically, my view now is that this whole prophetic tradition is bogus. And all eschatology…I feel eschatology is meaningless. I don't understand Hegel very well, but I feel like I'm a Hegelian. I feel there is meaning in history, but it has nothing to do with the Abrahamic tradition. I believe in God very strongly, but I try more and more to separate myself from the tradition considering God as a person who chooses some people or other, or who speaks, gives orders, gives laws and these kind of things. At my age, I have to follow my spiritual intuition, and it tells me to run away as far as possible from that and try to re-understand the Greco-Roman cosmic God of the Stoics, the understanding that God is everything. God is...God is not a person outside that you can relate to, person to person, and you can pray to him (as a person).That's the Islamic view too, though. The Islamic view is identical with that. It (the Islamic view) is like with the Godhead in Christianity as opposed to the personal God. That's another thing Islam corrects: Misguided anthropomorphism of God as some human male patriarch. That's not the view in Islam. Ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, the first two tangible characteristics of God in Islam, come from a root that has to do with the womb. And rahmah, mother love, is the root. So if anything, if you had to pick male or female, you would go with female because absolute ...

Trump’s chaotic first month in general, and his ultra-Zionist lunacy in particular, are on the agenda.Dr. Alan Sabrosky is the former Head of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College. He expresses his Jewish heritage via cuisine, not foreign policy.Transcript begins:Welcome to the live edition of Truth Jihad Radio. I'm Kevin Barrett doing this show every Friday, bringing on interesting folks with a lot to say, some of them kind of notorious, greatly-admired and in-some-quarters-reviled people bringing up provocative ideas that they don't want you to hear. Tonight we have two classic guests here reappearing on the show. In the second hour, Laurent Guyenot, the author of From Yahweh to Zion, comes on to discuss his two recently published articles, “The Disraeli Enigma” and “The Cursed Nation and the Temple of Satan.” In the latter article, he addresses the issue of whether eighth-day circumcision is a major factor in making Jews crazy and genocidal. So that'll be a transgressive hour.And then in the first hour, more transgression with Alan Sabrosky, who expresses his Jewish heritage through cuisine, not foreign policy, is coming back on the show for his usual first Friday of the month gig. He wants to talk about ongoing scandalous issues around Trump's chaotic first month in office. And in particular, the Zionist craziness, the ultra Zionist craziness, this madness of Zion, genocidal madness: “slaughter the children and build a Riviera on their bones.” Chances of that happening are somewhere between slim and none. Hey, Alan! You're looking good. How are you doing? Not so well in some ways, but I'll talk about that later.Sorry to hear that. Actually, I've got some issues going here, too, but I probably won't talk about that later. I'll talk about the world issues…It is a little discouraging to lose almost $8,000 to Stripe, canceling 80% of my income and then stealing the $8,000 that they owe me, $7,800, whatever it was. And so that totally demonetized the Substack, which is my main job.Wow, I didn't know that. I didn't know that would happen.Yeah, I think it's kind of a compliment, because not that many people have actually gotten debanked at Substack by way of Stripe. So I guess I could take that as a badge of honor. But it's also a pain.You said that to me after one of our programs, six, seven years ago, where we were talking, and I mentioned the H word, and suddenly my mic was cut off.Yeah, it's funny how that happened.You said something to me about, “you should take that as a compliment.” I thought, it's not exactly a compliment to realize that you're gone, you know. But that happens.You're back.Yeah, we know. And what is so fascinating to me, and I don't mean that in a positive sense, is that these folks are so good at destroying things and people and ruining things and people. And so bad at building good things. It's not a question of build back better, the old slogan that the Biden administration had. They can't build back, period, better or worse. But by God, they can tear down. Well, that's what Trump has in mind. Trump lets the Israelis do the genocidal demolition, and then the Americans are going to come in and build the new Riviera. Where does this guy come up with this stuff? Is he smoking something, or is Bibi somehow ventriloquating him?That's a very good question. Two things about Trump 2.0 are very interesting. And they both bear on your comment. One is that Trump 2.0 is making a serious effort to avoid the fatal error he made in his first term of not getting control of the interior ministries of the government—the Justice Department, FBI. Whether I like him or dislike him doesn't matter. He is doing his best to get control of the government. And it's one of the oddities that has struck me about the American system: It used to be even as recently as 35, 40 years ago, that most confirmations of political appointees or of three and four star generals or force commanders or heads of the services were pretty much pro forma. About the only one that people paid real attention to, and that was often very controversial, was appointments to the Supreme Court.But now we're in a position, unlike under a parliamentary system, where a president is elected or selected, whichever you choose, because of a certain platform that that president puts out. And then our system allows the opposition party to grind that president's nominees, political appointments, —which are needed to carry out the agenda, the platform—to grind them into dust, to ruin them, or simply to delay them beyond all possible measure. And it makes no sense. It's like having a tramp steamer supposedly doing a cruise liner's job…Full transcript available at my Substack. This is a public episode.

Rumble link Bitchute linkGlobalization Studies professor (emeritus) Anthony Hall of the Looking Out at the World From Canada Substack explores a range of viewpoints on Trump's threats to invade and annex Canada, and provides historical context.Transcript selection:Welcome to the Truth Jihad podcast. I'm Kevin Barrett doing this in audio since 2006 bringing you thoughts from folks around the world who are thinking outside the proverbial box, but a little bit better than Trump is with his lunatic real estate schemes. So I'm back right now with an old friend and colleague, Dr. Anthony Hall. Welcome, Tony. How's looking out at the world from Canada?Oh, it's a really cold and snowy today. It's a classic Canadian winter day here in Southern Alberta, where I can see the mountains of Montana off on the horizon.Sounds beautiful. It was a cold day by Morocco standards today, but not cold enough to keep me from running on the beach and swimming in the Mediterranean. But don't be too jealous. You've got a great country, and maybe you can fight off Trump and keep it. So Trump is saying he wants to invade Greenland and Canada and genocide Gaza. He wants to own the genocide instead of making Bibi own the genocide. Is this man insane? Does Canada have to worry?Well, Trump has been talking about Canada as the 51st state. And that gets us thinking. That's a pretty radical thing to say.It's a big state.And what about having 10 states? Or what about one province joining and the others not? There's all kinds of possible combinations here. I'm now on the third article I've written about it. I find that some thoughtful people in Canada are saying we should join the United States and would like to join the United States and make some compelling arguments.If we did join the United States, my suggestion for Netanyahu and Trump would be that Trump make Israel, the area controlled by Israel, the 52nd state and annex the whole thing like he wants to do with Canada or is thinking of doing with Canada, including the Palestinians. They can have the oil and he can make Israel the 52nd state of the USA. All people would be citizens of the United States on an equal basis.But with this situation in Canada—much of United States is on the land of Canada. In Wisconsin, when you were in Wisconsin, you saw that all the names around you, many of them, were Aboriginal and French. New France was deep into what is now the United States. And Trump seems to have no awareness of the history we share. And that history, of course, is much older than the United States. Canada has a number of incarnations. Canada didn't start in 1867. The name Canada came out in the early 1500s from Jacques Cartier. And sometimes New France was known as Canada. And Canada has been, you know, Upper Canada, Lower Canada, the United Province of the Canada.My sense is people imagine that the United States is sort of the model and Canada is just a paler United States. And I think a lot of Canadians probably look at that as because people don't know a lot of history. So I started by thinking I would tell some Canadian history to explain some of the phenomena unfolding now.Like this isn't the first time the United States has shown interest in annexing Canada. There was a plan to invade Canada in the 1930s in the era of Franklin Roosevelt. And it was on the books and taken seriously. The idea was to absorb Canada.Alaska was created in 1867 as a prelude to ingesting Canada. And now we're seeing a repeat.Maybe Canada should invade Alaska, get some help from Putin.Well, for myself, I would like to be allied with Russia rather than NATO. And I think Canada would be a good partner, a good ally of Russia.Well, there you go. That's a great idea. You guys, together, could definitely take Alaska. But you're going to make Putin line up his submarines with those torpedoes that create 800-foot radioactive tidal waves and get those guys all set up and aimed at the two U.S.-American coastlines. And then it's a done deal. Alaska will drop right into your lap.Jean Chrétien, a former Canadian Liberal party prime minister, who refused to go into Iraq and join the coalition of the willing in 2003, called Trump's words “unprecedented threats and unacceptable insults.” And that's a pretty serious language coming from a former head of state to a current head of state.You know, the hard news is, it's about Israel all along. It's Israel first. He doesn't have that much time from here on. And if he wants to do anything like the plan he laid out yesterday, that's what his administration is all about. So why not have Israel as part of the United States?Well, let me just say, Tony, that Palestine is the capital of the Islamic nation, which is the real nation. This Morocco I'm in, and every other Muslim-majority country, are just imaginary little provinces. The real nation I live in is the Islamic nation, and Palestine is our capital, and we are going to get it back, and the Jews are just going to have to deal with it.Full transcript available at my Substack.

International law professor Francis Boyle passed away last Thursday, January 30. I will miss his pugnacious, fiery outrage at the palpable injustices and absurdities that metastasized during his lifetime and killed the American Republic and whatever ideals it may once have represented. In 2013 Boyle prosecuted Israel for genocide before the Kuala Lumpur Tribunals. In early 2020 he forcefully argued that COVID-19 was obviously a bioweapon, and participated in webinar I helped organize along with Ron Unz, Meryl Nass, and others. (Boyle, like yours truly, was fingered as a “COVID conspiracy theory super-spreader” by the Zio-NATO front group Atlantic Council.) Then in mid-2022 Boyle appeared on my radio show promoting his book arguing that COVID vaccine mandates violated the Nuremburg Code. In short, Francis Boyle was on the right side, or the mostly-right side, of several of the biggest issues that most academicians shy away from. And none of those issues were bigger than 9/11. National Medal of Science winner Lynn Margulis said more than once that science ended on September 11, 2001. At the end of this short interview, Boyle says something similar about the rule of law.May God bless Francis Boyle and shower him with His mercy.-KBTranscript from Dec. 26 2018 InterviewKevin Barrett: Francis Boyle is an international law professor at the University of Illinois. And he's also a great human rights voice. He has been trying to shame the University of Chicago into dissociating itself from Gina Haspel, the torture queen. Let's talk a little bit about why they should do that. Francis, I take it you're not proud to be an alumnus of the same institution as Gina Haspel.Francis Boyle: Thanks, Kevin. Let me... Straighten the record out. I was not trying to shame the University of Illinois at Chicago because they're shameless. The merger between the University of Illinois at Chicago and John Marshall Law School had to be approved by the American Bar Association, which is the accrediting agency. And last February, the culprits at the University of Illinois in Chicago signed on to become a CIA signature university, which is appalling.I grew up in Chicago. I remember Mayor Dick Daley put University of Illinois at Chicago there. And, we can criticize Daley all you want, but he came from a working class background and he wanted to have an affordable public education in the city of Chicago for working class kids like he was. Necause at that point in time, all the colleges in Chicago were private and cost a lot of money. So it's done great things for educating the youth of Chicago, working class youth, youth of color, et cetera.So last February, the administration up there decided to become a CIA signature university, so that the CIA could operate freely on campus and recruit these kids to become CIA assets and agents. It's despicable. What exactly is a CIA signature university? They're in cahoots with the CIA. You can have a look at their Web page. They do everything. They give the CIA free access to campus. They can run courses and they can come in and recruit students as agents and assets. They're thoroughly penetrated now by the CIA.Just to clarify, is this a program that other universities have as well, an official program called being a CIA signature university?That's correct. And the University of Illinois at Chicago administrators there who should be fired did this knowing full well that bloody Gina Haspel was the acting director and going to be the director of the CIA. And that was all over the news media and it made no difference to them. So, you know, this is completely unethical and reprehensible. Well, there was nothing I could do about that, but the University of Illinois and Chicago wanted to acquire John Marshall law school, which is in downtown Chicago. I know John Marshall quite well. My dad was a lawyer and put me to work downtown there at the age of nine at the clerk at his law firm. And actually, I always had a high opinion of John Marshall. And indeed, the last time the University of Illinois at Chicago and John Marshall talked about a merger, I was asked by two different people up there if I would be willing to transfer my tenure to John Marshall Law School as part of the University of Illinois, which I agreed to do because they have a public interest orientation. And they are also there, again, to provide legal education to poor minorities, et cetera. Basically, anyone who wants to become a lawyer can go there and see if they can make it. So I did.And what happened this time is the University of Illinois at Chicago, a CIA signature university, then is going to give the CIA and bloody Gina Haspel their own law school. So when I found that out, I launched a campaign to convince the American Bar Association not to approve the the merger, which they had to approve.And the ABA…I've been a member there since 1977, when I was first licensed to practice law. And their motto is American Bar Association, defending liberty, pursuing justice. So I sent numerous communications up there, other law professors and lawyers did too, about all the terrible atrocities the CIA committed around the world. And at that time, we were also getting all this publicity about everything bloody Gina Haspel was up to. And I just found out earlier this week that the ABA had approved this merger. So, fine. Now the American Bar Association owns bloody Gina Haspel and the CIA and all their atrocities. And as I said in my communication to them that I sent you, all their crimes now are going to be on your souls for the rest of eternity. And so be it. But it's an absolute disgrace.And I am a native Chicagoan, too. So I'm a lawyer. I'm an ABA member. I'm a law professor, part of the University of Illinois system, but down here in Champaign, not in Chicago. And so the CIA will get their tentacles into an accredited law school. And I can assure you all the terribly destructive, evil things the CIA will do to a law school once they get their tentacles in there. We had a previous dean of this law school, Hurricane Heidi Heard, and her consort, Mikey Moore, and Moore publicly admitted he worked for the CIA and the Mossad. And they did terrible, destructive damage to this law school that is still going on today, including torture-mongering, drone strikes, publicly advocating them…one scandal after another.So I'm very sorry that this is going to happen to John Marshall Law School. My dad did not go to an elite law school like I did (Harvard). He went to Loyola Law School, but a lot of his friends were from Loyola Law School, DePaul Law School, John Marshall Law School. And so I knew some of these people. And this is a disgrace. I did what I could. But there it is.Well, it's ironic, isn't it? The CIA is well known for flaunting the rule of law. It's barred from by its charter from operating domestically. And yet it operates domestically on a pretty massive scale.It's not flaunting. It's perverting the rule of law and the United States Constitution. And you are correct here. They operate here in the United States, too. I gave all these facts to the lawyers at the American Bar Association and on their legal education committee and staff. As of now, I'm still the senior law professor at the University of Illinois System. And they had all the facts and they did it anyway.William Blum just passed away. He was one of the great scholars of the misdeeds of the CIA. His book, Killing Hope, talked about the American Holocaust. He didn't estimate how many millions of people were murdered by CIA and military interventions since World War II. But Chomsky and Volchek estimate that's about 55 to 60 million people. So these are pretty off the scale kind of crimes. And it's interesting to me that there aren't more people in the legal profession who are concerned about this the way you are.It just shows you the perversion of the legal profession after September 11, 2001, with so many lawyers and law professors buying into the bogus war on terrorism, as the American Bar Association just did in licensing the CIA signature university to get their own law school. And they're going to turn out lawyers, large numbers of lawyers, justifying war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, drone strikes, et cetera, and becoming war criminals in their own right. So that's really what's at stake here.Indeed. And before I let you go, do you have any comments on the efforts of the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Justice? They've got a grand jury petition filed in the Southern District of New York, and they just got an indication that a grand jury will be seated. The government or the court says it will follow the law, presumably meaning it will seat a grand jury to investigate the pos...

Rumble link Bitchute linkPress TV’s Yemen correspondent Yusef Al-Hamoudi and I discussed Yemen’s successful hit on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. The strike, which “Israel” is denying, came a few hours ago as retaliation for “Israel”’s terrorist attack yesterday on Sanaa International Airport.Excerpts:Yusef Al-Hamoudi: Demonstrations have been held here in Yemen, in the north province of Sa'dah. These were the early morning protests and the big protest, the million man march is expected to take place in less than two hours from now here in the Yemeni capital Sana'a. Now, it is likely that Israel will strike during the protests, just like yesterday when they conducted THE ATTACK ON SANAA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WAS ACTUALLY DURING THE SPEECH OF SAYYED ABDAL MALIK BADRAD DIN, THE ANSARULLAH LEADER, AND THEY WANTED TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT WHENEVER THESE EVENTS UNFOLD, THEY WANT TO REMIND THE YEMENI PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE ISRAELI FIGHTER JETS THAT ARE FLYING OVER THE SKIES OF SANAA. BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO DETER THE YEMENI PEOPLE FROM TAKEN TO THE STREETS EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY. THESE PROTESTS HAVE BEEN HELD EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY SINCE OCTOBER 7. AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE TO THE STREETS REGARDLESS. EVEN IF THEY KNEW AN ISRAELI AIR STRIKE WAS GOING TO TARGET THEM AT THE 70 SQUARE, IT WILL STILL NOT DETER THEM FROM TAKEN TO THE STREETS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF THESE PROTESTS BEING TARGETED. BUT THE MAIN MISSION GOING FORWARD IS GOING TO BE THE MILITARY ESCALATIONS FROM YEMEN'S END. We have confirmation that the Yemeni armed forces will continue to launch the hypersonic missiles, the drones, the cruise missiles. They will continue to impose the blockade. Look, the attack that occurred hours ago, this was an attack against Israeli interests, against the Israeli airport, and also against Israeli-linked ship in the Arabian Sea.Kevin Barrett:And so when you're being targeted with that kind of over-the-top terrorism, sometimes you have to respond in kind. And so Yemen's measured response with its hypersonic strike on Ben Gurion Airport is absolutely necessary. And I think the resistance axis and its supporters in the region, which is, of course, the majority of the population of the region is on board with the resistance in this genocide, needs to step up and act more boldly and forthrightly. And Yemen is leading the way. The only time the Zionists ever back off is when they're forced to back off. And I would imagine that at some point they're going to be forced to back off from this entire genocidal war that they're waging because they initially said that they were going to defeat Hamas in a month or two. And now it's been a year, almost a year and a half, and they're getting nowhere. All they can do is massacre tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of civilians. They claim that they could defeat Lebanon and steal all the land up to the Latani River. And they lost. They were forced to back out. And now they're in this tit-for-tat war with Yemen. And once again, they're going to fail. And that might be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back. and imposes the reality on the people of occupied Palestine that this insane extremist like Kudnik Netanyahu government surrounded by genocidal maniacs like Smotrich and Ben-Gavir has utterly and completely failed. They not only failed to protect their own people from the heroic raid on October 7th of 2023, but they also have failed to defeat any military forces that they're opposed to. All they can do is commit terrorism And at some point the Jewish people of occupied Palestine, who have acquiesced to this genocide and will forever bear the consequences of that stigma are going to wake up and notice that their government has completely failed and lost the war, and they're going to get rid of this government, and Netanyahu is going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Rumble link Bitchute link FFWN linkBy Kevin Barrett, for American Free Press“Israel is a cancer on the Middle East.” Resistance leaders across the region have used that metaphor for generations. The Zionists who dominate American politics, finance and media have attacked it as inappropriate.But is the metaphor inaccurate? Cancer occurs when a diseased cell or cells begin uncontrollably expanding at the expense of neighboring cells and organ systems. Israel, a malignant body of extremist fanatics implanted into the heart of the Middle East, keeps mindlessly and voraciously expanding, not unlike a virulent tumor. Such pathological Zionist growth has caused untold pain, suffering, and hardship for the people of Palestine, the region, and the world.Let’s chart Israel’s malignant growth. The original version of modern Israel, as set forth in the Balfour Declaration (1917) consisted of a mere “Jewish homeland” (not a state) guaranteed not to impinge on the rights of non-Jews—who constituted the vast majority of the population and owned virtually all of the land of historic Palestine. After the invading Jewish terrorists began running amok, as recounted in Thomas Suarez’s magisterial State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel, Britain rewarded them with the 1937 Peel Commission partition plan, which would have created Israel on 33% of Palestine, leaving the other 67% for Palestinians.The Peel Commission plan was outright theft. Palestinians owned well over 90% of the land of Palestine, yet the Commission wanted to steal almost one-third of their land and hand it to Eastern European Jewish terrorist invaders. But even such grand larceny wasn’t enough for the Zionists. They held out for more, and got it in 1948 by bribing US President Truman with a suitcase containing two million dollars in cash (as recounted by John F. Kennedy to Gore Vidal). That bribe, and others like it, produced the UN’s partition plan, which almost doubled the size of the Peel Commission’s Israel.But even that outrageous robbery did not satisfy the Zionist terrorists, who immediately began massacring Palestinians and invading territory outside their UN borders. When the Nakba (Palestinian Holocaust) was over, untold thousands of Palestinians were dead, and more than 750,000 survivors had been robbed of their land and property and forced into exile as permanent refugees. After perpetrating the 1948 holocaust the Zionists refused to return to their UN-approved borders, which would have given them more than 55% of Palestine, and instead continued occupying almost 80%.But even that didn’t satisfy them. The Zionist leadership spent the next two decades plotting what would become the 1967 war of aggression, in which they stole another 77,000 square kilometers consisting of the West Bank including Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and the Sinai Peninsula. Together, those stolen territories are almost four times the size of pre-1967 Israel.After 1967, Zionist leaders split between those willing to return stolen territory in return for peace, and those dedicated to endless wars of expansion. With the assassination of the land-for-peace Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, the issue was definitively settled in favor of the “forever wars” party.Rabin was an anomaly—a mere speed bump on the road to Greater Israel. The Zionist leadership has always tacitly agreed that Israel will keep expanding to its Biblical mandate and beyond. David Ben-Gurion defined Zionism’s goal as follows: “to create a Jewish state in the whole of the Land of Israel.” That “whole” includes Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, and part of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, northern Arabia, and arguably Turkey. Such conquests will require genocidal war against those countries and peoples.2024 will go down in history as the year the Zionist cancer metastasized, sending its toxic tendrils even further into northern Gaza, the West Bank, southern Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu’s minister Smotrich is calling for the full annexation of the West Bank and Gaza and the murder or expulsion of all Palestinians from historic Palestine. That process is already underway as northern Gaza is being emptied and Israel has grabbed a full 6000 acres of the West Bank. Meanwhile Israel is violating its ceasefire agreement with Lebanon in an attempt to steal all of south Lebanon up to the Litani River. And in the wake of the US-Turkish-Israeli overthrow of the Syrian government, Israel has massively attacked Syria and grabbed vast swathes of Syrian land.The ever-expanding cancer of Zionism poses a clear and present danger to the region and the world. The driving force behind Zionism is a virulent version of Jewish messianic millenarianism whose endgame is a Jewish military leader conquering not just the region, but the whole world, and then establishing a Jewish global dictatorship based in Occupied Jerusalem.First they came for the Palestinians. Israel’s neighbors are next. But this isn’t just a regional problem. Metastasizing Israel threatens all of us.Subscribe to American Free Press (print or digital). This is a public episode.
