Max Blumenthal: Trump, Epstein, and the Unraveling of America’s Pro-Israel Consensus
In this explosive interview with Professor Glenn Diesen, Max Blumenthal exposes how the Epstein scandal is fracturing Trump’s MAGA movement and revealing deep ties between Trump’s inner circle and Israel’s political elite. Blumenthal dissects Trump’s sudden retreat from the Epstein case—despite years of "drain the swamp" rhetoric—and connects it to figures like Les Wexner, Epstein’s financier and a key Zionist power broker. He argues that Trump’s base, once unshakably loyal, now sees him as part of the same corrupt system he vowed to dismantle. Meanwhile, Israel’s frantic denials of Epstein’s Mossad links suggest a widening crack in U.S.-Israel relations. Blumenthal frames the scandal as a turning point, where disillusioned conservatives and progressives alike are rejecting elite impunity. This is a public episode.

Aaron Maté: The Dangerous Consequences of Russiagate and Its Role in Fueling Conflict
In this talk, Aaron Maté examines the Russiagate conspiracy theory, arguing that it was a baseless narrative that served elite interests while exacerbating geopolitical tensions. He traces the origins of Russiagate to the Clinton campaign's funding of the Steele dossier and CrowdStrike's unverified claims of Russian hacking, which were amplified by media and political figures to deflect blame for Trump's 2016 victory. Maté highlights how the scandal distracted from substantive opposition to Trump's policies and created a perverse incentive for Trump to adopt hawkish stances toward Russia to disprove allegations of collusion. This, in turn, escalated tensions with Russia, undermined peace efforts in Ukraine, and prolonged the conflict there. Maté critiques the elite "protection racket" that scapegoated Russia instead of addressing domestic failures, polarizing discourse and fostering contempt for ordinary voters. Ultimately, he frames Russiagate as a disinformation campaign with far-reaching, destructive consequences for U.S. politics and global stability. This is a public episode.
