David Skrbina on Ted Kaczynski & Luigi Mangione
Dec 20, 202400:56:13Summary readyRumble link Bitchute linkNote: David Skrbina joins at the 29 minute mark.In the wake of CEO-slayer Luigi Mangione becoming a folk hero, an anti-genocide fighter getting arrested for targeting genocide perpetrators, and less-defensible non-state-sponsored violence reaching epidemic proportions in the USA, it’s a good time to talk about the minuscule fraction of human violence that isn’t perpetrated by governments.Philosophy professor and technology critic David Skrbina returns to the Truth Jihad podcast to discuss the hoopla around Unabomber Ted Kaczynski’s influence on American young people in general, and CEO-slayer Luigi Mangione in particular. While teaching at the University of Michigan, Skrbina corresponded extensively with the imprisoned Kaczynski and served as his editor. He writes: “This whole issue extends beyond technology to that of any corrupt social system (like health care) and how people might respond.”Excerpt from the interview:David Skrbina: Again, that's, again, an interesting parallel between Luigi and Ted, right? They were both combating a larger system, of which they are a very small part. And so there's this perennial dilemma of a large organizational structure which is unjust or illegal or needs to be reformed or changed or overthrown. How does an individual or a small group of individuals have any effect on this process? With an organizational structure that contains hundreds or thousands of people, (violence) doesn't really do any good. Even if you kill one or two of them, the system will just work around it and will replace them and it will move on. So so all you can do is gain attention, gain the notoriety, maybe use that to get a message out, maybe to send a message right to others that that extreme action is being taken by by individual people out there.So, in Ted's case, he was willing to take extreme action and he was willing to send a detailed message in terms of the manifesto. We can only guess in Mangione's case that he's maybe willing trying to send a message like like these CEOs cannot act with impunity and that they will somehow pay a price for extremely unjust action. I guess we can assume that that's really what Luigi had in mind. It's hard to know unless we hear from him directly.

James Perloff: “Donald Trump and Orwell’s Doublethink”
Dec 16, 202400:54:16Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkBestselling author James Perloff discusses “Donald Trump and Orwell’s Doublethink.” Perloff, a noted expert on the New World Order, voted for Trump but has very low expectations, especially after seeing his appointments. Unlike folks drunk on Trump kool-aid, Perloff is skeptical of claims that the president-elect is a pro-nationalism patriot who opposes the NWO:“I have been studying the New World Order since 1978 and writing about it professionally since 1986. I have seen it continually advance and consolidate its power. Nothing is impossible, but four coming years of ‘peace and prosperity’? I doubt it.”Bottom line:“The World Economic Forum’s entire agenda could materialize under Donald Trump without many patriots even realizing it.”Transcript begins:I'm Kevin Barrett, broadcasting on and off various alternative networks since 2006. And now it's been many years I've been right here at revolution.radio, the finest in free speech alternative networks. Please support revolution.radio. And if you can find a way to support me before I get completely debanked, that would be great.Stripe debanked my Substack, which was most of what I had coming in. They probably did that because, well, I guess I must be doing something right. So anyway, I guess I'll get to doing something right here by bringing on James Perloff for the second hour of tonight's broadcast.James Perloff is a best-selling author and a New World Order expert. His new piece on Trump, Donald Trump and Orwell's Doublethink struck me as apropos, because so many people who are totally opposed to the so-called New World Order and the leadership of this godforsaken society seem to think that Trump is somehow a real alternative. Well, we're alternatives, James and I, but I don't know if Trump is. So let's talk about it. Hey, welcome, James. How are you doing?I'm doing good, Kevin. Thank you for having me on. Your piece on Trump and Orwell is great. I gave up on Trump a while back. But when I saw that fake shooting on July 13th, that was the last straw for me. That was just so over the top. Did you get a chance to look into that?I had a lot of different theories that it was a real shooting or that it missed or that it was a warning to Trump or that he staged the whole thing. I know Ole Domogard believes it was completely staged. I don't have a firm opinion, but there were a lot of anomalies, like the fact that the shooting had been pointed out to Secret Service and security, and they did nothing about it. And then that iconic picture of Trump raising his fist, they just happened to catch the American flag in the background.The Secret Service never should have let him stand up and shake his fist like that. Who knows how many people are shooting at him, right? I mean, that's ridiculous. That's the dog that didn't bark. It's like Bush in the school during 9/11. I assume a lot of my audience already is aware of how Bush was left in a known location on 9/11. Supposedly there was a surprise attack, crashing jetliners from the air. Bush was left in that pre-announced known location. He could have easily been targeted from the air. He was he was left there for almost an hour reading about pet goats with schoolchildren and shaking everybody's hand and smiling. And they took a nice leisurely drive back to Air Force One. He didn't get off the ground for almost an hour after everybody knew that America was under attack. That's the dog that didn't bark. The Secret Service had to have known that Bush wasn't really being threatened. There wasn't any real surprise attack on 9/11.And the same is true with Trump getting up and shaking his fist after he's been shot at and supposedly hit. I mean, give me a break. Obviously he wasn't hit. There's not one shred of evidence that his ear was even nicked or scratched. He used a blood capsule or maybe the Secret Service scraped it or something with a knife. I think it was a blood capsule personally.A blood what?A blood capsule. That's what professional wrestlers use to make it look like they're bleeding.Oh, okay. That's a good point. I hadn't heard that before.Yeah, I'll send you some links of the people who've actually looked into this. But anyway, yeah, so I think you're very, very right to be a Trump skeptic. And so where do you even start with the reasons for Trump skepticism?Well, my article talks about Orwell's doublethink...it included an extensive quotation of Pastor Chuck Baldwin, who listed out promises that Trump broke during his first administration. And I added to that. Just to mention some of them: investigating Hillary, promising to drain the swamp, promising to reduce deficit spending, saying that children received all these vaccinations and saying that it was linked to autism, but then when the president's saying that children have to get their shots, promising to get America out of their Middle East wars but actually dropping four times more bombs than Barack Obama and five times more bombs than George W. Bush on the Middle East.I know he didn't start a new war in the Middle East, but he did say he was going to win the war in Afghanistan, and he sent additional troops there. Of course, he did not win the war.He said he would release documents relevant to 9/11. He didn't do that. He said that he would rebuild America's infrastructure. No major bills for America's infrastructure were passed during his administration. Our bridges and roads are still falling apart. He said when he was running for president — this is his first run for president — he said that he loved Julian Assange and called WikiLeaks amazing. But when he was president, he said, quote, "I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It's not my thing."And then he said he'd be the greatest post-Second Amendment president ever. Yet as president, he signed the bump stock ban. He said, quote, "take the guns first and go through the process second." And he approved what they call red flag laws, which means you arrest, take somebody's guns away based on suspicion that they might commit a crime, even if they haven't committed one.Of course, he put through Operation Warp Speed, which as Pastor Chuck Baldwin pointed out, Hillary Clinton had never gotten away with closing down American churches. but Trump can get away with it because he's perceived as a conservative.And appointing John Bolton as a national security advisor. Give me a break. The biggest war hawk for the Bush administration, and he's supposed to be draining the swamp, right?But what I really want to concentrate on today, because we only have about an hour, is first I want to look at what he did for Israel during his first administration....(Full transcript available at the top of this article on my Substack.)

Tear Up the NPT! We Need a Nuclear Pro-Proliferation Treaty
Dec 15, 202400:57:19Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute link Note: Kevin has been canceled by Stripe—workarounds are Spotfund and Paypal.In this week’s False Flag Weekly News, State Department whistleblower J. Michael Springmann and I wondered why Mohamed al-Jawlani, who used to be a “bad terrorist” when he worked for ISIS and al-Qaeda, has suddenly become a “good terrorist” now that he’s changed his name to al-Jewlani, excuse me, al-Julani, and taken over Syria on behalf of the Turks, the CIA, and the Zionists (not necessarily in that order). It’s like an ongoing good-news-bad-news joke: The bad news is that al-Julani used to be Deputy-Headchopper-in-Chief of ISIS. The good news is that he resigned. The bad news is that he joined al-Qaeda. The good news is that he resigned from al-Qaeda too. The bad news is that he started his own terrorist group, HTS. The good news is that HTS is a branch of the CIA and is now in charge of Syria.The whole notion of “good terrorist,” explored by Doris Lessing in one of her lesser novels, raises interesting questions, including: What exactly is terrorism, and when is it good? That question has been on people’s minds since (alleged) homegrown American terrorist Luigi Mangione (allegedly) shot United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson. Most of the internet seems to think Luigi is a good terrorist, or at least a good-looking one. Amir of the HRmachine1949 Substack has nominated Luigi for Person of the Year. But wait a minute—weren’t Americans successfully brainwashed against “terrorism” on September 11, 2001? Don’t we all agree that political violence against civilians is morally wrong? Apparently we don’t. In a desperate attempt to figure out why we have become so evil, I turned to a non-member of the human species, namely Muse the Cat, to get an outsider’s perspective. Interview With Muse the CatSo Muse, I understand you are going to argue in favor of terrorism and nuclear proliferation. Don’t you realize you can’t do that?B******t. I’m a freaking cat. I can say anything I want.I envy you your free speech.Comes with the territory. Nobody deplatforms cats.Can’t debank you either, I guess. So Muse, give us the rundown on why terrorism and nuclear proliferation are so wonderful.Sure thing. So let’s start with terrorism. There are two definitions of terrorism, the official one and the unofficial one. The official definition is “political violence against civilians intended to incite fear and terror.” But that’s what governments do—especially the US and Israeli governments. Yet the media never calls it terrorism. So to understand how the word is actually used, we have to turn to the unofficial definition: “political violence that the Establishment doesn’t like.” Frankly, I think we could use a whole lot more of that.I agree that the current Establishment is evil. But violence isn’t the solution.Isn’t it? Why not? Think about it from a cat’s perspective. For us, the world is divided into three kinds of critters: the ones cats eat, the ones that eat cats, and cats. (Humans are considered big, powerful cats.) And within the world of cats, there are strong cats and there are weak cats. There are cats that have a really lucrative territory, like me, thanks to all those fresh Moroccan sardines you feed me, and others that aren’t so lucky. The whole web of life is like that. There are stronger critters, and there are weaker critters. The strong periodically attack the weak to eat them or to steal their territory and resources. So how can you stop a stronger critter from doing that to you? I’ll tell you how: You terrorize them! You scare the bejeezus out of them by raising a prospect of violence, and potential harm to themselves, that they are unwilling to accept.By the way, that’s why I terrorize the neighborhood cats to the point that you guys keep me on a leash. I don’t want any other cats horning in on my sardine action.You have a well-deserved reputation as the worst feline terrorist in the neighborhood. When I walk you on the leash and the other cats see us coming, they turn tail and run for their lives. In that respect, you are a very BAD cat.Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment.Maybe you’re right that I should be nicer to the local cats. But what if I were a total pacifist? Every time you guys cooked sardines, and that delicious odor wafted through the open windows, the local cats would come running and crowd around the dish, and I’d be lucky to get a couple of scales and a scrap of bone.And what if the local dogs knew I was a pacifist? What if they were confident that I would never, ever claw their eyes out, no matter what? My nine lives would get used up pretty quick. That’s why all veterinarians, indeed all sensible people, agree that it’s not just cruel, but completely insane and unnatural, to declaw a cat. I can’t believe they used to do that! That was back in the Dark Ages, Muse, before humans became civilized. Civilized?! What do you mean, civilized!? They still cut our balls off!You know I would never do that to you, Muse.You were thinking about doing it at one point. And on the very rare occasions that I have been known to spray stinky male-cat-piss inside the house, certain threats have been uttered. Now THAT is terrorism!But I thought you were saying terrorism is good. Well, I suppose we can all agree that it does have its place. And then argue about which place. So…let’s move on to the real topic here, which is intra-human disputes. You humans may be civilized enough to have stopped declawing cats. But you’re still declawing people! You let the human predators abuse, exploit, and kill to their hearts’ content. But if one of their victims tries to fight back, you make sure they’ve been declawed! And if they fight back anyway, you crucify them. Civilized, my furry feline rear end!But…but the rule of law!There’s no rule of law. Just the rule of claw! The Establishment has huge, lethal claws, and the rest of us are at its mercy.If you wanted actual rule of law, you’d need everybody to have claws, so the weak could deter predation, and force the strong to discuss things and reason their way to win-win solutions. And that’s where terrorism comes in. It’s a way for the weak to grow and show their claws. The reason most dogs don’t kill cats is that over time, lots of cats have clawed the eyes out of lots of dogs. Dogs know that sure, they could probably kill that cat, but they might lose an eye. Likewise, if the Establishment saw enough of its CEOs and politicians and bankers and military and intelligence and judicial and law enforcement leaders getting shot down by hundreds or thousands of Luigis, it would have to think twice before abusing ordinary folks.And if weaker nations had the claws to scratch the eyes out of any predatory stronger nation that attacked them, the strong would be forced to take the route of diplomacy and international law, and humanity might finally become civilized. And that’s where nuclear proliferation comes in.It’s a tragedy that the Palestinian Resistance hasn’t yet developed the capability to threaten Israel with nuclear weapons or their equivalent. Getting deliverable WMD into the hands of the Resistance ought to be the first task of every decent human being.What’s more, Alexander Cockburn was right: Every sovereign nation ought to be issued a full nuclear second-strike deterrent capability along with its flag and its seat at the United Nations. The Chinese are not just cowards, they are EVIL for respecting the NPT and refusing to help Pakistan get that full second-strike capability. Every nation needs and deserves that. We need a Nuclear Pro-Proliferation Treaty (NPPT), and every nation needs to sign it and get those nukes! Someone tell Xi that THAT is the real What Is to Be Done.But wouldn’t that lead to disaster?On the contrary. The biggest power in today’s world is an evil empire dedicated to conquering the planet and imposing one-world tyranny. It’s driven by Zionist messianic millenarianism, which is working for a “Jewish messiah,” meaning the Antichrist, to rule the world from Jerusalem. It’s also driven by American exceptionalist messianic liberalism, which wants the Sole Superpower to get ever-more-superpowerful until it rules the world unopposed. And finally, it’s driven by Straussian-Hobbesian technocratic cynicism, which posits that the only hope for world peace is a global surveillance state ruled by Leviathan.A world under a single center of absolute power would b...

Zionists Slaughter the Handicapped in Slo-Mo West Bank Genocide
Dec 14, 202400:07:03Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkPress TVA disabled young man is the latest victim of the Israeli regime’s deadly incursions into the occupied West Bank. The 23-year-old Mohammed Ahmed Maslameh was shot in Beit Awwa west of the city of al-Khalil. He was brought to hospital with critical gunshot wounds to the chest and succumbed to his injuries shortly after. The Israeli forces also raided the village of Umm Safa northwest of Ramallah. Local officials said the regime soldiers stormed the village shortly after the Friday noon prayers, preventing the movement of residents and searching their vehicles. Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli genocidal war on Gaza last year, Israeli forces have intensified their raids in the West Bank, abducting at least eleven thousand nine hundred Palestinians.Mr. Barrett, welcome to the program. Let's jump right in and get your perspective on this continued aggression against Palestinians in the West Bank that we've been seeing by the Israeli regime, a nonstop trend ever since the genocide war on Gaza started in October of last year.Yes, this is not only a ramped up genocide of Gaza, but they're also targeting the rest of Palestine as well. And in fact, the Zionists have made it absolutely clear that they are planning to murder and expel all Palestinians from all of historic Palestine. They've ordered their captive American politicians to stop referring to the West Bank and instead use these biblical genocide names of Judea and Samaria for this region.And although Smotrich and Ben-Gavir and people like that are the only ones who are saying it completely out loud, the entire Israeli leadership is pretty much singing from the same hymn book, just a little bit quieter. And they've got the incoming American administration on board with this now. Sheldon Adelson's widow, Miriam Adelson, gave Trump $100 million, allegedly in return for Trump's promise to allow the Zionists to ethnically cleanse the West Bank and declare their sovereignty over it.So the West Bank is being targeted along with the rest of Palestine. And the slow motion genocide and the genocidal violence afflicting the West Bank may not be as spectacular as Gaza—I don't know if any violence in all of human history ever has been quite as spectacular as this absolutely insane bloodshed, these deliberate massacres of civilians and women and children that have been going on in Gaza.But they're also planning to expel Palestinians from the West Bank as well. And they're planning to steal as much of neighboring countries as they can possibly steal. We just saw them try to steal parts of Syria. They were rebuffed trying to steal parts of Lebanon, but they're not going to give up forever.The Zionists are completely out of control. This project is genocidal. It's criminal. It's a classic war of aggression against all of its neighbors. And the region, the Muslim Ummah and the Global South, realizes that this whole Zionist project needs to be put out of its misery. And the problem is how to do that. And it's going to be a problem for apparently the coming years at least, if not decades.And one more issue, Mr. Barrett. I guess one of the matters that is the most perplexing here is how mainstream media has basically swept whatever is taking place in the West Bank under the rug. And it's completely turned a blind eye to all the atrocities and the crimes that the Israelis are carrying out in the occupied West Bank.Yes. I noticed that, for instance, this report about the killing that we just saw is nowhere to be found in Western mainstream media. I used the search engines. I looked all over for it. It's just not there. Apparently, they don't care.Any time that an Israeli Jew gets killed, that's front page news. But they've been killing Palestinians throughout all of Palestine. for decades, and it just doesn't get reported. There was a study by ifamericansknew.org quite some time ago that looked at New York Times coverage, the relative coverage of Israeli deaths and Palestinian deaths, and they found that the Zionist settler deaths were given something like almost 100 times as much play in the Western media on the average.And so there are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is that people loyal to the Zionists are in the driver's seat in Western media, in Western finance and in Western politics. And the relatively moderate genocidal Zionists, so-called, among the liberal Jews, have been shoved aside by the fanatical extremists who are now taking power in the United States with the incoming Trump administration. And the rest of the Western people have not fully understood what's been done to them, that they've been subjected to a hostile takeover of their civilization by this fanatical messianic millenarian cult dedicated to committing genocide in Palestine and ultimately ruling the world from Palestine.That's their eschatology. They believe that their so-called messiah is going to be a world dictator, a military leader who conquers all of the non-Jews of the world and creates a global Jewish dictatorship from Jerusalem. That's the religious side of the whole Zionist project. And even though many pro-Zionists may be ostensibly secular and are sort of swept up in it, it's the hardcore millenarian messianic religious extremist Zionists, the ultra genocidal lunatics like Smotrich and Ben Gavir and the whole rabbinical establishment that agrees with them, that is ultimately calling the shots and ultimately providing the impetus for this genocidal Zionist project.

Alex Krainer on False Flag Warnings and “Syria Trap”
Dec 13, 202400:56:10Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute link . Note: Kevin has been canceled by Stripe—workarounds are Spotfund and Paypal.Market analyst and investor Alex Krainer wonders whether by suddenly giving up Syria without a fight, Iran and Russia may have set a trap for the Zio-American Empire: “This surprised nobody. The (claim) that they came by surprise is just is inconceivable to me. That the Russians signed a truce with duplicitous backstabbing Erdogan and then they completely took their eye off the ball and just thought that ‘we have nothing to worry about there’—that’s inconceivable to me. And so the only explanation that makes sense to me is that this was by design. Also, the way the Syrian army folded, it wasn’t just one place. It was a place after place after place after place. From the top, too. It was coordinated. So they were given orders to pull back, to demobilize, to melt away. And then the question is why?“The only place you walk into that easily is a trap. And so once you remember, how did the West finally break the Soviet Union? They drew them into Afghanistan. So that was the Soviet Union’s quagmire. It’s actually not rocket science.”We’ll also discuss Alex’s warning that London may be in the crosshairs for a false flag attack.Excerpts:Kevin Barrett: So Alex, should we start with the London webcams? Have they been turned back on? Whatever happened to those?Alex Krainer: I have no idea whether they've been turned back on. Last I checked was a few days ago, and they were not. They were still black. What happened since then, because it's been about 10 days since I posted my article, I assume that they're still black. I guess I could check, but I'm assuming that they're black.For me, that's a very suspicious thing because there are several hundred webcams around London. And since I published my article, a handful of people wrote back and they said oh, look, this one's working and this one's working. And in fact, it turned out to be two of them working. Two or three people wrote back that the one on Abbey Road is working, and I checked. It is. And then a couple of them pointed out another one. I forget which one. It's working.But all the other ones are black. So that's not something that can happen randomly, just by some random error that all of a sudden several hundred webcams go offline or go black all at the same time. And I found it very, very alarming because somebody obviously had to make a decision about that. It's a major European city. What's the reason why the webcams should be off? To me, the likely reason for that is that they are preparing a false flag attack and that they are hiding evidence. Let's suppose that they are going to detonate a nuclear device above London, or a dirty bomb or some kind of a very big explosion. Maybe they would spend a few months shipping out the artwork, shipping out the gold, whatever valuable things they don't want to be destroyed or don't want to be looted. And they might be shipping in the explosives. And so maybe it's better that no evidence of that remains recorded anywhere. So that could be the reason. But why would our venerable leaders in the West, our dear leaders, do such a nefarious thing? Well, as we know—and I documented this in my article that I published a few days ago—we've had several among the most prominent Western leaders,among whom General Mark Milley and Boris Johnson and President Morawiecki of Poland, all saying the same thing: that, quote-unquote, "if we lose in Ukraine, it will be the end of Western hegemony. We will lose the world for generations." Statements to that effect, and some of them in those exact words.So how big are the stakes? The stakes are huge.And we have seen them desperately trying to somehow engineer consent for war in Europe among the Western public. Because we know that there's no willingness among the Western public to escalate the war, to go collectively to war against Russia, to start another world war on the European continent. And so perhaps consent could be obtained if you had some kind of a very very emotionally charged event, something very spectacular, visible to everyone, happen. And then they could say, oh look at what the Russians have done to us! Now we have to go and kill them!A mushroom cloud over London would be pretty iconic.A mushroom cloud over London would be one of those indelible images that would stay with us for all eternity. And if West prevailed in this war by any chance, it would be enshrined in history that Russia dropped a nuclear bomb on London.And then these recent provocations with storm shadow missiles and the ATACAMs also work to that angle. Because all of a sudden, the Western powers that decided, all of them, the United States included, to authorize Ukraine to launch long range, Western provided missiles to strike deep into Russia. Strategically, that doesn't change anything. It's not going to change the trajectory of the war. It's not going to turn things around for Ukraine. They can inflict some pain on the Russians, blow up a few things, kill a few people, but that's it. They can't win the war.And Vladimir Putin has made it very plain that we understand that this is not Ukraine attacking us, because it's not Ukraine's weaponry. Ukrainians are not capable of targeting those weapons, of programming their trajectories, of selecting the targets. Ukrainians can provide the real estate and maybe pull the trigger, but everything else has to be prepared and programmed by Western technicians.So the Russians understand perfectly that this is an attack by Western powers against Russia proper, which is an act of war. So it seems to me that the only reason why they would be doing it since it's exacerbating risks of escalation, but it cannot turn around the trajectory of the war, is to provoke a response from Russia. So that the Russia says okay, so now you, the French, you, the British, you, the Americans, are striking at us. Now we're going to strike back at you. And then, you know, they get to invoke NATO Treaty Article 5. And then you have the confrontation between Russia and the collective West, NATO.But the Russians are not stupid. They're not buying the provocation. They're not falling for it. And they will not strike at any NATO target outside of Ukraine. So in that case, you have to do it yourself, right? If we look at the history of warfare over centuries around the world, when the ruling establishment has to mobilize their populations, the whole of society effort to go and kill their adversaries for them, to win their war for them, they routinely organize false flag attacks. When we needed to go to start global war on terror, they somehow orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. I hope this is not news to anybody.Let's look at Syria then. I would have thought that maybe what happened with Syria was that Russia and the Zio-American empire cut a deal and said, okay, we see Ukraine's going down one way or another. And so the American side sees Trump's coming in, new people there who are willing to get out of Ukraine and stop that war. So to let you do that, you're going to have to give us Syria. And so that would be one explanation for why the Syrian resistance to this so-called liberation from Assad just melted away like nothing.However, there's another explanation which may be partly compatible, and that is what you offered in a recent video interview in which you suggested that it was a trap, that you can't walk that easily into victory. If you walk in that easily, it's got to be a trap. And you compare this to the Russian bear trap set by Brzezinski when Brzezinski confessed to a French magazine, I think it was Le Point, that he had baited the Russian bear into coming into Afghanistan in order to finish off the USSR. And so maybe the Russians are going to have their revenge by turning the Zionists and the Americans loose on Syria and making it their project and their liability and their responsibility. And maybe that's not going to work out too well for them.And so I think you may be onto something. In particular, though I don't think you stressed this, what I would add to your analysis is that the Russians may see that the U.S. leadership is dominated by Zionists. And the Zionists are willing to sacrifice American imperial interests and strategies in service to their maniacal, delusional Zionist craziness. And so (the Russians say) “let's let the Americans get hijacked by the Zionists and go insane in Syria and the Middle East. The Americans already lost $8 trillion (on the 9/11 wars for Israel). They lost all their soft power going along with this Zionist 9/11 thing. So let's get them bogged down in the Middle East again, and get them doing irrational things, because they're under total Zionist control. The American empire is going to do crazy self-destructive thing...

Al-CIA-Duh Takes Syria
Dec 12, 202400:32:07Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute link I have been debanked by Stripe, so please: Donate through Paypal Donate through SpotfundRichie Allen, a leading candidate for best host in international talk radio, has returned from his sabbatical refreshed and well-informed. (He must not have been on a news fast!) Below is a transcript of our conversation. -KBRichie Allen: What can you glean from people locally (in Morocco) in terms of how they view cataclysmic geopolitical events like what we've seen in Syria in the last week or days? ...In light of what happened in the last week or so, the the fleeing of Bashar al-Assad to Russia, the taking of Damascus by a conglomerate of so-called rebels... What's the mood, Kevin, as far as you can ascertain in your own town there in Morocco?Kevin Barrett: Well, Richie, I think a lot of people in the West don't really understand how people in the MENA region—that's Middle East North Africa region—see these things. And it's a little more complicated than the alternative media narrative versus the mainstream narrative, where the Axis of Resistance, for people like me, is the good guys, right? The folks resisting genocide are the good guys, and that would have included the Assad government in Syria. And all of the other forces tend to be more nefarious.But basically, people here seem to be both absolutely fed up, appalled, and at their wit's end by this genocide of Gaza, which is the central issue affecting the whole global south. But they're not so much attached to the Axis of Resistance. There's been a certain amount of success, I think, with the propaganda campaign that's been designed to sort of contain Islamic Iran, and convince people in the so-called Sunni Muslim world that Iran and its Axis of Resistance are not all they're cracked up to be.So for that reason, a lot of people in Morocco, even while they appreciated to some extent the way that Iran and its allies have been trying to stop the genocide—and certainly everybody here has been cheering for the Houthis as they shut down shipping in the Red Sea, and cheering for Hezbollah and mourning the loss of these great resistance leaders. But at the same time, there's a feeling that some of the the Axis of Resistance, particularly the Assad government, is not really capable of taking on the Zionists.And so there's a propaganda talking point that's out there. I don't really think it's a strong, true talking point, but a lot of people here kind of believe it, which is that we need to get rid of Assad so we can get rid of the Zionists. "Assad didn't really do anything to stop the slow motion genocide of Palestine. He talks a good game, but he and his Iranian friends, they haven't really been very successful. And now that the majority population of Syria is back in the driver's seat, backed by Turkey, which wants to restore the Ottoman Empire, which of course used to run that part of the world with consent and was viewed as legitimate by the people there, that now we actually may be seeing down the line a force that can actually stop Zionism.And so people here are actually kind of happy about whats happening in Syria. I'm not. I was cheering for the Axis of Resistance. I thought Bashar al-Assad was one of the very few decent human beings in a leadership position. But maybe he was too decent to be a powerful leader.A number of journalists I've been hearing from in recent days—these would be Western mainstream journalists. So immediately the starting point is you've got to take what they say, with a large dose of salt. But a number of them are reflecting on their knowledge of Bashar al-Assad pre-2011 and shortly after 2011. And the picture one or two of these old hacks are painting is that this guy was a fairly weak guy.Now, one or two of these journalists have even sounded like they've been inclined to give him a bit of a pass in terms of separating him from the Syrian army. There was always a large body of Syrians, not necessarily backed by the West, by the United States or by Israel, or not necessarily backed by Turkey, but just Syrians who hated Hafez al-Assad, his father, and hated the notion that the Assad dynasty was going to continue when Bashar al-Assad came back from the UK in the mid-noughties to take the throne.I suppose the point I'm making is, could it be that he didn't really have any control over, or didn't have as much or enough control over his own military? Is that a fair question, and could it be legitimate? I'm thinking in terms of, we all know the Arab Spring and the National Endowment for Democracy, and we all know there was an awful lot of outside interference and stirring up tension in Tunisia, in Egypt, and then Syria. Of course, I know that. But there were always large, large numbers of people who were fed up with the status quo, with that way of living. You kind of get what I'm getting at here, that Assad was kind of lost in the middle of all of that, really, and didn't really have any real power. What do you think of that when you hear that?Yeah, I think that's true. I think that's why he was targeted. They look for weaknesses, and that situation probably was not really sustainable.The background is that for the centuries in which Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire, the upper class part of the population, and indeed the majority of the population, were Sunni Muslims. And then you had a whole bunch of other kinds of groups, Christians and Alawites and Shia people and all of these other groups that were marginalized, and tended to be in the mountains and were not as wealthy. So there was kind of a wealthy Sunni bourgeoisie that ruled the country and cooperated with the Ottomans. Then the French invaded after World War One and Ottoman rule was overthrown and the French took over. And the french put the Christians, and to some extent the Alawites and the other religious minorities, in charge, and demoted the the former elite. And that really rankled on those people who were demoted. Later when when the French withdrew, the rulers who were from the minority communities found a new way to legitimize themselves, which was to adopt the Ba'athist ideology of secular socialist Arab nationalism.And that never really took hold. I think Baathist Arab nationalism and the different varieties of Arab nationalism have never actually become a thing. And people in this part of the world have thought of themselves as a whole lot of things, but "the Arab nation"—it has really been just intellectuals who dreamed that up.Here in Morocco, hardly anybody really thinks of themselves as Arab. The people who grew up speaking Arabic technically might be called Arabs as opposed to Berbers or Amazirs who speak that language. But nobody thinks of themselves that way.So how do they?Well, here people think of themselves as Moroccans or Maghribis, that is the Western Islamic people, and mostly identify as Muslims—not that the Jews and Christians here would be any less Moroccan, but Islam is really the first kind of identification.And so I think that's kind of what's going on is that the majority population of Syria is part of this group that was basically demoted and overthrown and knocked out of power by the French. And they've been wanting to get back ever since. And the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the groups that represents that and sees it in terms of trying to restore a particular kind of Sunni Islam.And so those are the forces that are taking over. And is this good for the West and the Israelis? The West and the Israelis have been trying to do this for decades and they finally got it done. I think they're maybe going to rue the day that they did this. In Rise and Kill First, Ronan Bergman, the Israeli Mossad stenographer, talks about how the Israelis have repeatedly neutralized one threat only to create an even bigger threat. They neutralized the secular Palestinian resistance of the PLO, and then they got the religious resistance of Hamas and Hezbollah and the Axis of Resistance. And now that they've screwed that up, guess who's coming to town now? A new resistance. Hamas is totally cheering for this new leadership in Syria, which is, of course, dedicated to liberating Palestine. And it'll have the backing of the vast majority of the world's Muslims who identify as Sunni Muslims. That's like 85 plus percent of the world's Muslim population is gonna be far more engaged with being dedicated to avenging this genocide and liberating Palestine. So I think the Zionists are once again going to rue the day...they think that they won a battle, but it's going to be the biggest Pyrrhic victory in the history of warfare.And you think Hamas is certainly excited by, is thrilled by this development. I'll tell you—and you know when I speak, I speak for myself and I'm not reflecting on anybody else's thoughts or opinions or anybody else's agenda. I, like yourself, followed the events of Syria and the Arab Spring over the last years. What I can see independently, and I can't verify everything. But videos emerging from Syria, from Damascus an...

Richard Solomon on "Trump Win 2.0 Vis-à-vis China"
Dec 10, 202401:08:30Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkRichard Solomon, author of The Tao Guide to Navigating the Satanic Matrix, discusses his brand-new article “Trump Win 2.0 Vis-à-vis China.” Interview excerpt:Richard Solomon is one of the best writers on the internet in my humble opinion, and maybe in his less humble opinion. He just published a great new piece at the Uunz Review that came up right before the show started. It's called "Trump Win Vis-a-vis China and His Role in End-Stage Hyper-Capitalism." Now that's a mouthful. Tell us about it, Richard. And tell us about yourself. Who are you and how did you become one of the best internet writers out there?Well, before I begin, if it's okay with you, can I just plug my new book? It's called The Tao Guide to Navigating the Satanic Matrix. And anybody can get a free digital copy on taoisnow.org.So are you like an evangelical Taoist?I'm like a westernized Taoist in the sense that I'm a product of the American cultural milieu. And so I read the Tao by Lao Tzu. And I've basically processed that and put it through my own neural pathway to come up with my interpretation or my viewpoint on it. I think it remains in alignment with the Tao and the spirit of the Tao, but I think it's geared towards today's situation or our environment in that we are living in a satanic matrix.And what I mean by that is the French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard, wrote a book called Simulacra and Simulations. And he basically stated that there would come a point where we're living in this end-stage empire with high technology, end-stage capitalism, where it would be very hard to discern real from the unreal. And everything becomes a simulation and then a simulation of a simulation. And an example of that would be like fake AI video. So for example... let's say they wanted to put a AI generated president of the United States He's brilliant. He's AI. He could answer any question because he has all the whole internet at his disposal.If he's brilliant, he doesn't have a chance in hell for a president.Well, he's brilliant in the sense that he can recall and collect data and gauge demographics, audience responses, poll data, and give the perfect response that people might want to hear.And so that's an extreme version. But there are other things, like if you see a politician doing something bad that may be an enemy of the state, that can be constructed on fake AI video. The point being, we're reaching a point where we don't know what's real and unreal. We're talking to an AI bot in a comment section. How do you know it's human or real, a controlled opposition versus legitimate activist?We're entering the simulation age, and it's hard to ascertain what's the truth. And so...I find the Tao an excellent operating system within the satanic matrix or this simulation that they've created. And by they, I mean international finance, big tech, the Zionist lobby...the deep states, Daesh, Mossad. All these forces that have coalesced that want to suppress humanity are creating this, what Hindus call Maya or illusion.And so the purpose of my book and what I found in my life, what helps me navigate this simulation, is the Tao. (In the book) I just kind of give some of my insights on it and hopefully it'll be helpful to some people.(full transcript available at www.KevinBarrett.substack.com) This is a public episode.

US Army Hero Scott Bennett: Martyred by the Usual Suspects?
Nov 24, 2024Tap to summarizeRumble link Bitchute linkShortly before yesterday’s False Flag Weekly News broadcast I saw Press TV’s article confirming the sad and shocking news of the death of my friend and colleague Scott Bennett. The article hints that Scott may have been murdered by Ukrainian kill list types and their neocon American masters due to his report to Congress on US-sponsored Ukrainian war crimes:Bennett also reported facing “death threats and threats of violence” from the Ukrainian government, military personnel, and media during his investigation. He also received similar threats from American and NATO “elements and agents” backing Kiev’s cause. He published his findings on Telegram, asserting that he was not “suicidal in any way.” “If anything happens to me, it will be in order to try and bury this report.” Scott also exposed Ukrainian war crimes in his film “Frontline Diary of an American Officer.” He was a regular guest on both RT and Press TV, as well as my radio show, pushing back against the dishonorable, criminal, sometimes even treasonous behavior of the people running the government he had naively served as a patriotic, God-fearing US Army officer.Scott’s book The Shell Game describes his journey from conventional-minded Army officer specializing in psychological operations, to the martyrdom-worthy truth-and-justice hero he became. The catalyst of that momentous shift in outlook was discovering that his boss at Booz Allen Hamilton, Rabbi Dov Zakheim—the comptroller of the Pentagon on 9/11 and owner of a company that may have manufactured the remote-hijacking equipment used that day—was complicit in funding and fabricating the very terrorism that he was pretending to be fighting. After attempting to go through legal channels to present evidence of the criminal actions of Zakheim and others, Scott was framed by the criminals on absurdly bogus charges and imprisoned for two years. While in prison he met Bradley Birkenfeld, another whistleblower well-versed on the issue of who was really behind “Islamic terrorism.” By the time he got out of prison Scott, a sincere Christian, was ready to launch his “truth crusade” which in many ways paralleled my own truth jihad.While I agree with Press TV and RT suggestions that Scott was likely martyred due to his Ukrainian war crimes report, it’s also possible that that report was merely the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. Specifically, Scott undoubtedly angered plenty of powerful people by exposing the real terrorists behind 9/11. Let’s not forget that RT founder Mikhail Lesin was murdered in a Washington DC motel room in 2016 in a coup aimed at stopping that network from spreading 9/11 truth. RT’s 2013 TruthSeeker program 9/11 and Operation Gladio, in which I feature, was basically erased from the internet by the NSA, illustrating USG’s all-out war on 9/11 truth. Lesin’s murder terrorized RT into abandoning its coverage of the subject. In spring 2018, Scott Bennett was instrumental in an effort by a group of former US military, intelligence, and diplomatic personnel to convince the Iranian government to mount a “9/11 truth defense” to a civil lawsuit alleging Iranian complicity in the attacks on New York and Washington. As I wrote in the aftermath of that conference, which triggered a massive panic and crackdown on the New Horizon NGO by the neocon-Zionist perps:Giraldi, Springmann, Bennett, and Michael Maloof were invited and attended (the special conference in Mashhad, Iran). On the final day of that Conference, Bennett and others spearheaded an attempt to convince the Iranian government to bring 9/11 truth into an American federal courtroom…When the May 2018 New Horizon conference in Mashhad nearly persuaded the Iranian government to throw its full support behind a major 9/11 truth initiative—one that could have led to discovery proceedings forcing suspected 9/11 perpetrators like Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and others to testify under oath— the neoconservative element of the Establishment must have panicked. I suspect that New Horizon founder Nader Talebzadeh, who like Scott Bennett succumbed at a relatively early age to an oddly-timed “fatal illness,” was killed in part because the Mashhad conference had nearly succeeded in blowing 9/11 wide open. The utter panic that gripped Israel and its US agents in the wake of the Mashhad conference suggests that what these people fear most is the possibility that 9/11 truth could gain the full backing of one or more sovereign governments and then be adjudicated in a bona fide courtroom. In the wake of the Gaza genocide, and the ICC/ICJ proceedings against Netanyahu and co., the possibility that the genocide perps, who are also the 9/11 perps, will one day face a degree of formal justice, looms large enough to be worth pursuing. If and when that finally happens, it will be a fitting monument to Scott Bennett and other fallen truth warriors.Transcript of my interview with Scott Bennett in the wake of the 2018 Mashhad conferenceWelcome to Truth Jihad Radio. I'm Kevin Barrett, talking to all sorts of interesting people, telling you what's really going on in the world. And today I thought I'd get back with my old friend Scott Bennett. We were together in Mashhad, Iran, a couple of months ago. Scott was a key person in the process that led to the letter to the Iranian government signed by 70 or 80 9/11 truth people saying that they'll stand up and defend Iran in a court of law if Iran appeals the ridiculous case in that federal court in New York, in which Iran was ordered to pay billions of dollars in reparations for 9/11, which obviously Iran had nothing to do with.So we want Iran to turn the tables and go after the real 9/11 perps who are more associated with the American and Israeli governments, not necessarily in that order. And anyway, Scott Bennett was a key guy in getting this initiative going. And it may lead to unforeseen places. We're hearing rumors right now of Iran going after the real 9/11 perps in an Iranian courtroom, and maybe bringing over some 9/11 experts to testify. That would be interesting.It all goes back to something that happened when I wasn't there, and Scott Bennett was. This was in Meshad, Iran. So, Scott, tell us about how this idea came about.Well, Kevin, it's an honor to be with you, my friend. And I was so blessed to be with you in Iran. And it was an incredible, incredible conference with incredible people. I mean, such talent and good hearts from Phil Giraldi to Michael Maloof to Peter Van Buren to J. Michael Springmann. We had a real diplomats team of Americans there that were standing up for America and the Constitution and were sick and tired of the corruption and just all of the death and misery and violence that has been spread since 9/11. I was so honored to see all of these men go to Iran and defy the State Department's propaganda that "it's a dangerous country, it's a hateful country, it's a violent country, it's throwing people off rooftops." All of that was false. It was propaganda. The Iranians are the most calm, mild-mannered, gentle, respectful, wise people on the face of the earth. And I really, really loved my experience there. And to be with you there made it even better because I love how you think. I love what you represent. And you're a paragon of strength and fearlessness that I admire because you started a lot of this and stood up and laid the foundation a decade ago or more.And I found out much...

Experts Agree: Hamas Is Winning
Nov 25, 2023Tap to summarizeVideo link Bitchute linkThe biggest story in today’s False Flag Weekly News was Scott Ritter’s article “Hamas Winning Battle for Gaza.” Ritter points out that Israel’s much-ballyhooed war aim of completely eradicating Hamas has given the group an easy path to victory: Mere survival is a win—and a humiliating Israeli defeat.But Hamas isn’t just surviving, Ritter adds, it is prevailing on the battlefield. Israel can massacre 13,000 civilians to no military purpose, and reduce buildings to the kind of rubble that guerrilla fighters thrive in, but it can’t seem to win any actual engagements. All of Hamas’s senior cadre and even mid-level cadre is still alive and fighting, whereas significant numbers of of Israeli officers and soldiers have been killed or captured by Hamas. The only actual evidence we’ve seen of action on the battlefields of Gaza consists of innumerable stirring videos of Hamas commandos destroying Israeli tanks and other vehicles, sometimes by sprinting to them and planting explosive charges from “distance zero,” and inflicting serious losses on Israeli troop concentrations before disappearing back into their tunnels. It was military and political defeat that forced Israel to accept a ceasefire, which it had been resisting and which Hamas had been supporting.Scott Ritter, a former supporter of Israel, has switched sides, having noticed that ongoing displays of Palestinian skill and bravery contrast starkly with Zionist lies and atrocities. So maybe he’s biased. But it isn’t just pro-Palestine voices like Ritter who have noticed that Israel is losing. One of the Zionist entity’s most frenzied supporters, former Trump advisor John Bolton, says “Hamas Has Just Won a Major Victory Over Israel.”Ritter and Bolton are part of a growing chorus of nay-sayers who have arisen to contest the conventional wisdom that “Israel can’t lose.” A recent al-Jazeera (Arabic) article surveyed several American experts who agree, to varying degrees, with the prevailing opinion among West Asian analysts that Hamas is on the path to victory. Below is a quick, Google-assisted translation of the article. -KBAmerican Experts to al-Jazeera: Israel Has Lost, Hamas Has Won. Here’s Why.By Mohamed al-Menshawi for Al-JazeeraWashington - Many discussions in the American capital regarding the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip conclude that Israel will prevail in the end. Experts compete to confirm and repeat the fact of its overwhelming material and military superiority over the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in terms of numbers of troops, armed aircraft, missiles, armored vehicles, tanks and artillery. They cannot imagine any result except Israel's victory, the only question being the time frame and the cost.In contrast, a growing number of commentators point to the possibility of Hamas's victory and Israel's defeat. Some even assert that Hamas has already won…In a previous interview with Al Jazeera, former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter confirmed that the Hamas movement has become more than an organization or group in its traditional physical form: "Hamas has become a broader concept of the meaning of resistance, and we must remember that it carried out an act that had only been done before by the Egyptian army, which was able to defeat the Israeli side on the battlefield. Hamas already won on October 7, and that cannot be changed…when Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal on October 6, 1973, Egypt won. After that, Israel launched strong counterattacks, but that did not change the fact that Cairo was victorious. The same is true with Hamas today. It was victorious on October 7, despite Israel’s efforts to destry the movement.”In turn, Professor Avraham Shama from Northwestern University believes that regardless of how the Gaza war unfolds, Israel has already lost and Hamas has won. Shama cites the hundreds of thousands of Israelis leaving their homes in the north and south and moving to relatively safe shelters in the center of the country; the closing of many schools and universities; and the deterioration of the economic situation in general.Deep and Long-Term LossesShama said, "The Israelis suffered another kind of defeat, which is a feeling of deep and long-term loss. This loss fundamentally touched their psyche and their sense of collective self and well-being. You can hear it in their voices, their posts, and their choice of words, and you can see it on their faces."He also pointed out that before the Hamas attack, the Israelis were confident, believing that a sudden war like the October 1973 war could not happen again, and that if that happened, their army would crush it as soon as it began. Then the Hamas attack came, (Israel’s first such experience) in 50 years. It was a deep shock.The academic considered that despite “the loss of more than 13,000 Palestinians, the Hamas movement was able to invade a country with a population of more than 9 million people with a strong army. They succeeded in destroying the Israeli psyche and pushing the renewal of the Palestinian struggle to establish an independent state to the global forefront.”For his part, Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard University said, “As expected with each side blaming the other, Israel and its supporters portray Hamas as nothing more than a brutal gang of Iranian-backed terrorists who deliberately attacked civilians…While the Palestinians and their supporters acknowledge that attacking civilians is wrong, they blame Israel for imposing an apartheid regime on Palestinians and subjecting Palestinians to systematic and disproportionate violence over many decades. They also point out that international law allows oppressed peoples to resist illegal occupation even if the methods chosen by Hamas are irregular.”Walt considered that the most striking feature of this latest round of fighting is that Hamas achieved almost complete surprise, just as Egypt and Syria did 50 years ago during the October 1973 war, and demonstrated unexpected combat capabilities. Al Aqsa storm caused more damage to Israel than any other attack.He added that it is clear that the attack shocked Israeli society, and that the ongoing war may also reveal the limits of power. “War is a continuation of politics by other means, and strong countries sometimes win on the battlefield and still lose politically. The United States won all the major battles in Vietnam and Afghanistan. But in the end it lost both wars."In Walt’s opinion, Hamas will never be able to defeat Israel in a direct test of strength. But its attack is a tragic reminder that Israel is not impregnable and the Palestinian desire for self-determination cannot be ignored. He continues, “(Al Aqsa Storm) also shows that the Abraham Accords and recent efforts to normalize relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia are not a guarantee of peace. In fact, they may have made this latest conflict more likely."Decades of struggleFor his part, John Alterman, head of the Middle East Unit at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, believes that the Israeli army's history of avoiding American mistakes has ended.Alterman, in a report published by the center, says: “The Israeli army has largely avoided the volatile history that has afflicted the United States militarily since the start of the Vietnam War. The US army ended the clashes in Lebanon, Somalia, and Haiti without clear victories….Also, the post-September 11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Syrian-Iraqi border region, despite a vast outlay of resources, years of fighting, billions of dollars, and thousands of American deaths, ended in failure to secure victory."Alterman noted that Hamas' concept of military victory revolves around "achieving long-term political results. Hamas does not expect to achieve victory in one year or five, but by engaging in decades of struggle that increases Palestinian solidarity and increases Israel's isolation….In this scenario, Hamas angrily rallies the besieged population of Gaza around it and helps the collapse of the Palestinian Authority by ensuring that the Palestinians view it as a helpless assistant to the Israeli military authority."Alterman continues, “At the same time, the Arab countries are strongly moving away from normalization, the Global South is strongly siding with the Palestinian issue, Europe is retreating from ignoring the violations of the Israeli army, and an American debate is erupting regarding Israel, destroying the bipartisan support that Israel has enjoyed in Washington since the early 1970s.”He said th...
